Chapter 78 Safi’s past events

Some words would be meaningless if they were kept hidden, but if she wanted to speak out, Safi would inevitably worry that her parents would be implicated by her.

"Your Highness, would you like to swear?" She looked at Fred. Although she was a little disrespectful, she had to force Fred to give in for the sake of her parents. "Your Highness is willing to help me keep the secret of what I am going to say later."

She still didn't want to believe him. Fred smiled bitterly, but he also knew that if her knot was so easy to resolve, the matter would not have reached this point, so he simply swore to the gods. What he heard today

I will not tell any third person what happened.

Seeing how happy he was, Safi breathed a sigh of relief but felt guilty at the same time. Fred gave in to her step by step, and she was naturally touched.

The oath has stated that Fred cannot tell anyone else about this matter. Even if he has a grudge because of this matter, he still cannot deal with the Prime Minister.

Safi took a deep breath and said slowly: "His Majesty the King's scepter is fake, right?"

Although it was a question, Safi's tone was extremely determined, as if she had seen the king's scepter with her own eyes.

The king's scepter is something handed down from the first generation of kings. The black wooden body is polished to a shiny finish, and the top is polished and carved with a complete diamond to carve a half-length unicorn. On every important occasion, the king will take it out.

This scepter is displayed in front of the people, so the significance of this scepter is far greater than its actual value.

But this scepter was stolen ten years ago. However, the royal family concealed the matter very well. Even the dean of the academy did not know about it, but Safi was able to tell it.

"Did you steal it?" Fred instinctively thought of this possibility, but then shook his head and denied it, "No, it couldn't be you."

Safi has arrived at the palace. As long as she makes a little noise or is deliberately caught by the guards, she can ask the royal family for help, but Safi does not, which shows that it is not her.

The whole thing is a long story, so Safi starts from the beginning: "Back then, I ran away from home and was kidnapped into a guild. My life was not very good. Fortunately, I was very talented and didn't suffer too much.

..." Safi paused, "Grandpa Rhodes taught me a lot, such as how to survive in the guild and how to complete tasks faster."

The name Rhodes was not uncommon, but Fred only knew one of them.

"Is it the one we met?" Fred asked.

Safi nodded. When they met that day, she didn't dare to recognize each other. Thinking of this, she felt even lower.

Fred thought that although Safi said it lightly and "didn't suffer too much", she was originally a noble girl with good clothes and fine food. Living in such a place, she had to suffer a lot just because she couldn't adapt.

Yes, she said it so plainly because she didn’t want to get to the bottom of it anymore, and Fred had no intention of touching the pain in her heart, so he followed her words and continued to ask: "He also comes from the Abandoned Avenue, why would he help you.

"

Judging from the negotiation that day, although Rhodes is not a bad person, he is not a good person either. At least in the abandoned avenue, kindness is the most useless thing.

"He once had a daughter who was discovered while stealing. She fell from a building while hiding and was only sixteen years old when she died."

After seeing Safi, the pain of losing her daughter was somewhat transferred to her. He couldn't bear that she suffered so much at a young age, so he took more care of her. This care allowed Safi to successfully escape from some things.

But it also became a reminder for Rhodes.

On the abandoned road, the tenderness towards others can only turn into a rope around the neck, and then be pulled tighter and tighter until death.

Safi would not mention this person for no reason. Fred guessed: "Did he steal the scepter?"

"Yes," Safi nodded, "Even among the guilds, Grandpa Rhodes's strength is outstanding. Because of his daughter's death, he gradually wanted to withdraw from the guild. The guild was unwilling. For the guild, it cannot be used by them.

People can only be removed, so I gave Grandpa Rhodes a task, which is to steal the king's scepter. Grandpa Rhodes is naturally unwilling, but the guild uses me as a threat, so he has no choice."

The guild is a group of extremely vicious people. Since they threatened Safi's life, they meant what they said. The guild left Rhodes with only two choices. One was to die, whether he wanted to die himself or in the guild.

In the process of stealing the scepter, he was discovered by the guards of the palace. After being caught, he was sentenced to death and Safi could survive. And if he stole the scepter, both he and Safi could survive.

But it is almost impossible to steal the scepter from the palace. If the palace was so easy to infiltrate, the human race would have been doomed long ago. After all, the demons have specially trained a large number of thieves to prepare for emergencies. The royal family naturally has the most powerful

With careful precautions, the guild did not leave Rhodes any way to survive from the beginning.

But what they didn't expect was that Safi had a general understanding of the palace's terrain, and even knew some trails that others didn't know. In order to save Rhodes, Safi told everything she knew.

I just told Rhodes.

Rhodes came back alive after all, only losing one leg, but compared to losing his life, this result is much better.

After identification, it was found that the unicorn above was made of real diamonds, which meant that it was the real king's scepter. In addition, Rhodes lost a leg and was no longer a threat to the guild, so the guild was very happy this time.

Let him go readily.

And Safi's identity was also exposed by herself. Someone who is so familiar with the royal family must be a noble of high rank. Rhodes felt that she could not stay here anymore, and Safi could be used to threaten Rhodes once.

, could threaten him a second time, and no one knew when the guild would go back on his word and do something, so Rhodes quickly thought of a way to send Safi out, and she returned home.

Although Safi did not steal the king's scepter herself, without her providing him with information about the palace, Rhodes would not have been able to steal the scepter, so she can be considered one of the culprits.

Although Safi tried her best to speak calmly, the danger was still coming. A girl who was only ten years old was facing life and death at such a close distance, and she also tried hard to find a way to save the people who were kind to her.

No wonder she is so guarded. How many people can someone trust after being in that kind of situation? The good things he did to Safi before were just trivial things. Why should he?

What about asking Safi to trust him wholeheartedly?

Safi has been hiding this secret in her heart for ten years. She didn't dare to mention it to anyone. Now that she said it, she felt inexplicably relaxed. She smiled: "Your Highness, please think about it again. For me,

Is it worth it for such a person to put in so much effort?"
