"My child, when you see this letter, I may no longer be alive."

The news of Armand VII's death was soon officially conveyed to the Royal Guards.

The Royal Guards have been fighting with the Second Legion these days to protect the dying emperor. Now that the emperor is dead, they no longer need to protect the imperial capital, which is already an empty city.

The enemy has already infiltrated the imperial capital and is preparing to blow it up, which has also made them lose the confidence to continue fighting.

"I no longer have the opportunity to say goodbye to you in person, so I asked the guest from afar to write this letter for me... and a record of the past. ."

This letter was indeed written by the mysterious person.

Although the person's true purpose is unknown, he does not have any hostility - but this may be because the other party simply does not bother to fight with Claire and the others now.

Because even Karin and Zhu Ying could not track where the other party went.

"——I want to tell you first that you don't have to worry about what will happen to the empire in the future. You and the boy from the Moti family should leave this country and live your own life."

With the help of the Royal Guards, Claire held a simple funeral for Armand VII.

Although an era has ended... but everyone knows that the death of the emperor is just the beginning of chaos.

"——I failed to restore this corrupt country to its original state. The nobles have long stolen the foundation of this country... and my two oldest children have become puppets of the nobles.

The eldest prince and the second prince once destroyed Claire's face because of jealousy, and now they have started their selfish actions to compete for the throne.

And the only third prince who has not been infected with these malice, it is unknown whether he is still alive.

"——So, you leave here and find what you want.

Because the princess is not a real princess, she will not be bound by the civil strife that is about to break out in the empire.

If she insists on leaving the empire, these things will have nothing to do with her.

『——My daughter, may your future be illuminated by light forever.』

This is all the content of the letter.

"Your Highness, we have temporarily settled His Majesty... If there is a chance later, we will definitely move His Majesty to the Imperial Mausoleum."

At a time when the Imperial City could be blown up at any time, the Imperial Guards could not stay here for long.

However, even if they gathered all their forces, they could only barely break through - and even if they could successfully break through, these elite soldiers who were supposed to protect the royal family did not know where to go.

"Thank you, Commander Noral... What are the plans of the Imperial Guards next?"

"If the third prince is still in the Duke of Oufei, we plan to surrender to him. The eldest prince is just a puppet of Duke Scott, and the second prince even abandoned the southern front in order to fight for the throne... These two people are not trustworthy."

The Imperial Guards, who were exhausted by continuous fighting, did not intend to be thugs for another prince after escaping the siege.

At present, the Third Prince and Duke Oufei are the weakest, but their geographical location is relatively safer. Even if the Kingdom of Sunset and the Kingdom of Cardia start to invade the Empire at the same time, the war will not spread there for a while.

But the civil war between the First Prince and the Second Prince is probably inevitable.

"I know. If you can see my brother... please protect him."

Keliya can't do anything now.

The current situation cannot be reversed by one or two strong men - even Karin, who can defeat giant monsters head-on, can't cope with a long-term war of attrition.

Because the large army in this world has long considered the possible threats of top strong men.

"Boss, we have to go with the Guards. With the current situation outside, if we still follow you, we will only become a burden."

Keliya was a little surprised by Kulan's decision for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, she still agreed.

Because they were going to move south to meet Aarons - and they were not sure that they could completely protect the mercenary group under the siege outside.

"That's it... I hope we can see each other again in the future, Captain Kulan."

"We will find a way to contact you as soon as we find His Royal Highness the Third Prince... Take care."

The Royal Guards will gather their forces to break out to the east soon. Taking this opportunity, Keliya and her group will break out of the encirclement from the south.

Zhu Ying will be responsible for taking the car and fuel out of the sky, while Karin and Xia Ye will be responsible forProtect Claire from breaking out from the ground - if it weren't for the fact that the Spider Sakura couldn't activate its full functions now, they wouldn't have to take such a dangerous action.

"Okay, all the guards listen to the order! According to the plan, start preparing to launch a feint attack on the enemy from the west!"

The guards of the imperial capital are basically elite, and they can exert sufficient combat effectiveness even when facing several times more soldiers.

Although they have temporarily lost the monarch they serve, one day, they will welcome the return of the new emperor.

"Your Highness, let's go too."

"Well... please."

- Claire hasn't had time to watch the video that the mysterious man gave her before.

It records something that the emperor and Marquis Moti did twenty years ago, and it also foreshadows their results today.

Star Seeking Brigade - why is this mysterious organization from the west of the continent involved with the ruler of the country in the northeast of the continent?

What kind of value does the so-called [Child of the Star] have that can make these people do such unforgivable things to countless innocent people?

Perhaps there is an answer in that record... But now is not the right time to explore the truth.

"Then, let's go--"

Just as Keliya gave instructions to her companions, an unexpected change happened again.

This time, not only did Keliya feel an indescribable pain, but even Karin Xiaye and Zhu Ying staggered at the same time because of the sudden dizziness.

"Hey, what happened to you!?"

Seeing that the four people almost fell to the ground without any signs, Kulan and the female leader who had not left hurried back.

- But they did not sense the existence of any magic, and there was no change around them.

"Why? It's like... a piece of my heart has been dug out..."

"This feeling, could it be... bad! Miss Zhu Ying! Go to the sky... and check it out!"

The one who recovered the fastest from the strange dizziness was Xia Ye, whose eyes had somehow turned into a weird blood red. Soon after, the maid with cherry hair also used her own properties to forcibly return to normal.

Karin, the strongest among the people present, was gasping for breath as if she was feeling palpitations, holding her chest, and even had no time to care about Keliya, who was kneeling on the ground in a trance.

"What's going on? Princess, what are you doing--"

"Report, report! The Third Legion... just sent an emergency notice using the full frequency band!"

Just when Kulan and the female captain were anxiously trying to figure out what happened, a signalman from the Royal Guard ran over from the side, out of breath.

"The southern front... the main force of the Sunset Kingdom suffered heavy losses! But... it was a psychic explosion!"

"Calm down! Explain clearly! What happened on the southern front!?"

The female captain grabbed the panicked soldier and slapped him hard before he recovered from his incoherent state.

But what he said next was like a heavy hammer that hit everyone's heart hard -

"After our warship covered the retreat of the remnants of the border guards, it triggered a psychic explosion in the center of the enemy's main force! But according to the report, the name of the ship is -"

"Explain clearly!"

"It's the Princess's...Yumenhua!"
