PFC Chapter 226 Everything Is On The Chessboard!
Chapter 226 Everything Is On The Chessboard!
The same words were spoken by Princess Delia not long ago.
But at that time, they were not given much attention.
But now, they made her heart sink.
"What conspiracy do you have?" The queen couldn't help but glare at Princess Delia.
"Conspiracy? No, no!" Princess Delia smiled and shook her head, "It's just an interesting game."
"Don't forget, you are still under my control, and I can kill you at any time!" The queen, in a mix of fear and anger, didn't hesitate to show her true feelings.
"Your Majesty, please restrain yourself a little." The old king beside them spoke up.
However, his words were like a breeze.
After blowing past, they left no trace.
The queen continued to glare at Delia, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
"You can try." Princess Delia sneered.
"Guards!" The queen shouted.
Two Rank Four warriors immediately jumped onto the carriage, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"Keep an eye on the princess and the king." The queen's face darkened like the sky before a storm.
Within the royal city, all the loyal and high-ranking individuals who were loyal to her were mysteriously killed.
From Princess Delia's attitude, she was likely to be an accomplice, or even the mastermind behind it.
The once familiar royal city, the core of her power where she could command the winds and rain,
Now, it was like a monster with an open bloody mouth, sending shivers down her spine.
In the royal city at this moment, she didn't know how many powerful enemies were waiting to deliver a fatal blow to her.
However, it was somewhat ridiculous to stay outside the city for a long time.
By her side, there were the kingdom's most elite army and skilled warriors from the Snowfield Giant City.
In addition, both the king and the princess were under her control.
Even if the old king and the princess conspired against her, she had the confidence to turn the situation around.
The queen got off the carriage and approached a burly general on a tall horse.
"General Smoli, please send someone to investigate the situation in the city."
General Smoli was the commander of the Demon Dragon City battle and currently controlled all the troops on the expedition.
He was also one of the strongest individuals the queen trusted.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
General Smoli summoned one of his trusted subordinates and led a hundred Level 150 elite units into the city for investigation.
Not long after, the scouts returned.
Not only were they unharmed, but they were also covered in flowers.
"What's going on?" The queen couldn't wait to ask.
"Your Highness!" The soldier leading the scout team answered, "There is no danger in the city. The commoners and nobles are celebrating the victory we achieved."
"Your Highness, do we need to wait for the troops?" General Smoli asked.
The queen pondered for a moment and replied, "No, let's enter the city."
Waiting for the troops didn't mean much to the queen.
The most elite part of the army was already by her side and had returned early.
The ordinary soldiers were weaker in strength and couldn't enter the city with them.
Even if they entered the city, they couldn't provide her with much sense of security.
"Make sure to protect His Majesty the King and Princess!" The queen emphasized the syllables of the word "protect."
"Yes!"
General Smoli understood her intentions.
He immediately ordered his men to surround the carriage.
The closer to the center, the stronger the formation.
The queen returned to the carriage, and the entire procession slowly entered the royal city.
Just as the scouts had reported.
After passing through the city gates, the entire procession encountered no obstacles.
On both sides of the main road, commoners holding flowers and fruit baskets were throwing flowers at the army while cheering loudly.
The nobles were also sending their blessings from both sides of the street.
However, this scene not only failed to reassure the queen, but instead made her more fearful and confused.
Her wings had been mostly clipped within the royal city.
Only a few small fry remained, unable to provide her with accurate information.
Fortunately, the procession returned to the palace safely.
In theory, the army should not have followed into the palace.
But at the queen's request, the entire army entered the palace and quickly occupied important positions.
"You, come here!"
The queen beckoned to a palace guard.
The palace guard hurriedly ran to the queen and respectfully knelt on one knee.
"Where is Xiaoleite? Where is he?" the queen asked.
Xiaoleite was the captain of the palace guards.
She had tried to contact Xiaoleite using the communication emblem, but couldn't get through, so she knew that he was in grave danger.
However, these palace guards might know Xiaoleite's situation, which would help her understand the current situation.
"Your Highness!" the palace guard replied, "The captain has been killed by the king's order due to treason!"
"What?!" The queen was suddenly shocked, her body covered in goosebumps. "You mean, the king?!!"
"Yes!" The palace guard nodded.
The queen looked at the carriage not far away, surrounded by heavy guards, and felt a chill run through her body.
"Wait, you said he was killed by the king's order. Who did the king send, and how did they do it?"
"It was the princess's female attendant, who held the king's identity token and read out the order. The person who acted..."
At this point, the palace guard suddenly shivered, his face showing a terrified expression.
"Speak quickly!" The queen frowned.
"Yes, yes, it was a monster! No, a demon!!!" The palace guard trembled, describing what he had seen and heard at the time.
After listening, the queen let the guard go and her face became uncertain.
Now she could be sure that the incident in the royal city was caused by Princess Delia.
Fortunately, things hadn't gotten out of control, and both the king and the princess were under her control.
After a moment, the queen opened the Book of Crests and activated the communication emblem.
After waiting for dozens of minutes, a small team composed entirely of Rank Four powerhouses arrived.
Among them was a Legendary Level (Bronze BOSS), more than ten Epic Level (Normal BOSS), and the rest were all Rare Level (Elite).
This was the top combat power from the Snowfield City.
With such forces gathered under her command, the queen's confidence was bolstered.
She ordered her elite troops to replace all the palace guards.
Then, she ordered people to search the palace for Princess Delia's female attendant.
"Queen, we have already returned to the palace. Are you planning to let me and father spend the night in the carriage?" Princess Delia's cold voice came.
The queen wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, tidied herself up, and then turned to walk towards Princess Delia.
"Of course not."
"My princess, you and the king can go back to your rooms and rest."
"Thank you then," Delia said with a faint smile.
This confident smile made the queen very unhappy.
"Your conspiracy will not succeed!"
"Hehe, conspiracy?" Princess Delia looked at the queen strangely. "Everything is clearly laid out on the chessboard, I have never concealed anything."
"Of course, a chess piece about to fall cannot see the entire chessboard clearly. That's just how it is."
"If you think it's a conspiracy, then it's a conspiracy."
After speaking, Delia walked past the queen and headed towards her own room.
Dozens of soldiers immediately followed, surrounding Delia tightly.
Delia remained calm, walking leisurely, as if the soldiers with their blades and bloodied bodies didn't exist at all.
