She Chooses To Destroy the World

The bad news came one after another, which really made Alice overwhelmed.

The Duchess unexpectedly had an accident at this moment, which made her feel particularly heavy.

The Duchess has been assassinated many times. Now the Philo knight who is most loyal to the Duchess has passed away. The Kent knights are young and inexperienced. After Alice was sent to the Northland. There is no more faithful knight guard beside the Duchess who can be completely trusted. It is not surprising that her enemy spotted this gap and tried to assassinate again.

What's more, the war situation in the Northland is now stable. The nobles in the Northland who are newly attached to West Felix will obviously bring about new changes in the political situation of West Felix.

What kind of results such a change will bring, Alice can't think very clearly, but it is easy to imagine that the enemies of the Duchess certainly don't want things to develop according to her plan. The assassination was probably also her opponent's way of blocking the Duchess' plan.

I just don't know how the Duchess is hurt.

Perhaps to avoid leaking the news, the information Alice received contained only a few short words.

If it's just a small matter, I'm afraid they won't write a letter to call Alice back to West Felix... From this perspective, I'm afraid the situation of the Duchess is more and more difficult.

Alice was very regretful. She knew that the Duchess would have an accident at this time, and she shouldn't have followed the Duchess' orders to join the coalition forces northward. If she can stay with the Duchess forever, she will definitely not let the assassins succeed.

But it's too late to say this now. In any case, as a knight of the Duchess, Alice must now rush back to West Felix quickly.

Various matters in the army were handed over by Alice to her reliable deputy. As for Cecilian...Of course he must go with her.

Alice originally planned to pack up and set off immediately, but before she left, Mrs. Olivia heard the news from nowhere, and stopped her.

Mrs. Olivia has been recuperating for many days. Although she still appears frail, her sanity has basically returned to normal. After hearing about the Duchess, she must go back to West Felix with Alice.

Alice showed a look of embarrassment, but Mrs. Olivia's attitude was very firm:

"If my sister dies, I won't have any relatives in this world...I must rush back to see her immediately."

Alice was very worried about Mrs. Olivia's body, but Mrs. Olivia was firm and even said that in order to save time, she could ride back without riding a carriage.

Alice looked at Mrs. Olivia's firm eyes, knowing that no matter what she said, she probably couldn't shake her determination.

"Okay." She finally agreed, "but you have to promise me that if you get sick on the way, you will immediately stop and rest until your body recovers."

"I promise you."

The three of them rushed back day and night, Mrs. Olivia's face was a little pale, but she did not fall ill.

The three rushed back to the capital, Faerun, and there was no news that the Duchess had died everywhere in the city, which made Alice a little relieved. But when she arrived at Fei Lun Mansion, she found that the mansion was under martial law and no one was allowed to enter or leave. This is not a good omen, and Alice's heart tightens again.

Alice was blocked by the guard at the door, and she was not allowed in until she took out the stamped letter. But Cecilian and Mrs. Olivia who came with her were blocked by them.

"Sorry, Knight Alice," the guard at the gate said apologetically, "we have received an order that anyone who has not been summoned will not be allowed in."

Alice looked at Cecilian. Cecilian looked up at the guard. The guard scratched her head in confusion, and then put all three of them in:

"Ah... it may be a mistake."

Alice took Cecilian and Mrs. Olivia into the mansion familiarly, and went straight to the Duchess' bedroom.

The usual bustling mansion was empty at this time, and no one could be seen except the guards patrolling back and forth. Alice went upstairs and saw Kent at first sight.

The Kent Knight was holding a sword at the door of the Duchess' bedroom, seemingly ready to fight someone at any time. Judging by his aura, anyone who wants to pass without an announcement will probably have to take a sword. His eyes were red, and he couldn't tell whether he was not getting enough sleep or crying. Seeing Alice's red hair, his eyes lit up:

"You finally came back!"

"What the **** is going on? Is your Highness okay?"

The Kent Knight breathed a long sigh of relief:

"I can't explain it for a while, you should go in quickly... Your Royal Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."

Although the Kent Knight did not explain the current situation to Alice, after hearing his words, Alice finally took a moment to relax. It seems that the life of the duchess is unhindered, and her mind is probably clear.

She turned to look at Mrs. Olivia, and Mrs. Olivia nodded.

Alice opened the bedroom door and went in, and saw that the Duchess was lying on the bed comfortably, her complexion looked good, much better than Alice had imagined. She saw Alice coming and smiled:

"You're back."

Alice was greatly relieved:

"Where did you hurt?"

"Stabbed in the shoulder." The duchess pointed out the bandaged wound to her. "It has been properly bandaged and drunk the potion. The doctor said that if you pierce the lungs a little bit further down, it won't work. It's so easy, maybe you will die."

The duke's tone was very brisk, as if she was talking about something completely unrelated to her.

"Your Highness!"

Hearing Alice's a little anxious tone, the Duchess laughed and made a determined gesture:

"What I want to do has not been completed yet, I won't die easily according to their wish... Oh!"

The duchess' gestures twitched the wound, and she screamed in pain regardless of her identity.

Alice looked at her with a worried look, walked to the bedside of the duchess and sat down, just listen to her continue to say:

"For many years I have been thinking about how to maintain the unity of West Felix after my death. If you want to do this, you must first find someone more qualified to inherit the West Felix collar than Earl Felix. To convince the old subjects of the late Duke Felix, the heir must have enough solid backing so that she has enough strength to contend with Krosh in the north... Recently, I finally found the problem. Answer."

The duchess' eyes gleamed:

"If it is not necessary to choose a male heir, Miranda is the most qualified person to inherit the West Felix collar and become the next female duke. Her mother is a sister of the Duke Felix, and she herself is the duke. Her niece. In terms of blood, she is much closer than Earl Felix. As long as I adopt her as a righteous daughter and change her surname to Felix, she will have a more righteous position. Duke Felix’s veteran will Agree to assist her, as long as we offer generous enough terms, the newly joined nobles in the Northland will also agree to stand on her side."

Alice was a little surprised:

"Miss Miranda? Do you want her to be your heir? Didn't you still help her find a suitable marriage partner before?"

The Duchess waved her hand:

"I can see it through. Miranda only likes to use swords and swords. It is impossible to find the right person to marry smoothly. It is better to be me than to marry someone who is not decent and live an unfortunate life. The heir to her, she has been alone for a lifetime. As for what Cefelix will do when she gets old...I can't control it."

"So... have you discussed with Miss Miranda's parents?"

"The adoption documents are here now." The duke picked up a stack of documents from the bedside and handed them to Alice. "Miranda's parents have already signed them. As long as I sign on them, this document will be established. Considering that West Felix has already had a female heir like me, there is no problem with another one."

Alice flipped through the file:

"So... is this why you were attacked?"

"That's the case." The Duchess said, "I suspect that this assassination was done by Earl Felix. He should have learned from some channel that I was planning to choose another heir, so he wanted to assassinate me before the document was signed. It's a pity that I didn't get any decent evidence."

"Anyway, they failed." Alice said, "You didn't suffer too much injury. There is still enough time to complete your plan... Why are you calling me back in such a hurry?"

"Because I am worried that my time is not as long as I thought." The Duchess said, "I am not young anymore, and no one can say what will happen... Miranda is too young again, Count Felix. It is her distant cousin who is a few dozen years older than her. As long as he is there, she will not be able to successfully inherit the position of Duchess of West Felix. If she can't match the Earl of Felix, we have This document from is nothing more than waste paper."

"so……"

"So I intend to take this opportunity to feign death." The Duchess said, "I am calling you back, and they will believe that I am dead. As long as the news of my death is released, Earl Felix will show the fox. The tail. So we can take this opportunity to annihilate him."

The Duchess had a smile on her face, very satisfied with the plan she had made.

Alice sat on the bedside of the Duchess and listened to her as she finished all the plans. Several years of knighthood gave her some idea of ​​these political struggles. But what the Duchess said was a bit too esoteric for her. It took a lot of effort for her to barely follow the Duchess' thoughts, but she listened carefully, pretending that she understood everything.

"Your plan must be perfect." She said solemnly, "but before you declare that you are dead...your sister, Mrs. Olivia is waiting outside to see you right now."
