Chapter 225 Begins to Flee
"What's the situation now?"
In a dark secret room, Lily asked the guard beside her anxiously, and she seemed to hear the voices from outside getting smaller and smaller.
Afterwards, the two guards carefully looked out from the cracks on the side of the secret room, saw a few private soldiers of the nobles patrolling and searching the courtyard, and then listened carefully for a long time before slowly retreating.
"It's the private army of the nobles outside, and I didn't see the guards or the soldiers of the legion directly." The voices of the two were a little low.
Hearing this, several people in the secret room slowly felt a chill and despair.
The sound of fighting outside has gradually disappeared, which means that one side is in a dominant position and gradually controls the scene, but unfortunately, it is not our side that wins.
The secret room fell into a repressed silence. As the queen, Lily tried to calm herself down as much as possible. She slowly stroked the child in her arms, and then moved her gaze to the bracelet wrapped with golden branches on her wrist.
At this time, I can only hope that Severy will arrive in time.
Although she has a few supporters in the court, the loyalty of those people is probably very limited, and the only person who can really make her trust and rely on is this general. .
Time passed slowly, and several guards in the secret room could not suppress their emotions, and began to move their hands and feet a little uneasy, walking in a small area.
Just before everyone's patience and rationality gradually dissipated, Lily finally felt a special warmth from the bracelet.
Severly arrives.
A general in a black cloak quickly crossed the roof of the palace, landed on the outside of this remote hall, and glanced at it.
He sensed that Lily was supposed to be around here, but there didn't seem to be a trace here.
"It's General Severy." A guard who observed between the cracks called out in a low voice, his voice full of surprises.
"Go and open the secret door and let Sir Severa come in." Lily said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then a stone door slowly opened, revealing the hidden space in the mezzanine of the wall.
After hearing the sound, Severly turned around and saw several people who appeared. He knew it in his heart, and then he silently entered the secret room.
"Your Majesty." Seeing that Lily and the prince were safe and sound, Severly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as these two were there, everything was not over.
"How is the situation outside now?"
"I saw the beam of light in the Blood Moon Hall shattered, and His Royal Highness the Regent may have suffered an accident. Now, most of the Rose Palace has been controlled by the enemy, and the soldiers under my command are currently retreating and stationed in front of the palace, which can last a little while."
"If it's just me, it's very difficult to take away your majesty and the prince at the same time. Now it's better to meet up with the soldiers of the former palace, and then rush out of Titenya."
"As long as we can break through the siege of the enemy, in the name of the royal family, we can quickly summon vassals from all over the world for rescue. Although there are many traitors among the nobles, there are still many people who are loyal to the royal family and His Majesty." Sifrey calmly analyzed.
Perhaps the one who launched the rebellion this time was a member of the royal family, but it did not mean that all nobles would approve it. Moreover, during the reign of Edron and Amanke brothers, they also promoted and cultivated a large number of their own forces. , it is not difficult to retake Titania.
"I understand this, but now those people probably won't give us a chance." Lily said worriedly.
As the emperor of the empire, Aymank died in the assassination of the Dark Moon, and now Edron is no longer there. With their mother and son alone, the hope of escaping under the pursuit of the Dark Moon is too small.
After Lily of the Red Queen expressed her worries, the others in the room were silent for a while. In the battle not long ago, they had vaguely seen the power of those assassins, and it was definitely not easy to escape from the hands of these people.
"I think, there is another way to try." At this time, the head maid on the side said.
"I know that there is a secret underground passage in the palace that leads to the outside world, but if I want to get there now, it may attract the attention of the enemy, so..."
"So?" Lily was a little puzzled when she saw her stop.
"So, please let me play the role of Your Majesty and lead the pursuers away for you." Wen Na plucked up her courage and spoke.
"As long as you put on suitable clothes and wear a veil, most of those soldiers have never seen your true face, and will not recognize you for a while." Once she spoke, her words quickly became smooth.
"This..." Although this way has been heard in some knights or stories before, Lily never thought that it would happen to herself one day.
Yes, old tactic, but I have to admit, in this time of the race, it does work.
"Your Majesty, just follow this lady's advice, there is no time to hesitate now—"
"If you still want to live with the little prince." Sifrey resolutely persuaded Lily to adopt this method.
Her fingers clenched and loosened uncomfortably, and Lily struggled for a while, but looking at the uneasy child in her arms, her tears suddenly overflowed.
Yes, there is no choice.
"I see." She wiped her tears and nodded in agreement.
Soon, everyone took action. First, the head maid and Lily exchanged coats, and then the little prince Hulls also took off his luxurious coat and put on a worn and ill-fitting plain coat.
After the preparations were completed, Sifrey also allocated a plan at this time. First, he would lead the queen played by Wen Na to break through to attract the attention of the outside world, and then a small number of people would lead Lily into the secret passage.
After that, Severy will buy a lot of time and let Lily take Prince Hull with him.
Si went outside the palace, and then found an opportunity to meet again.
"Then let's begin."
After finishing speaking, Sifrey and a group of guards protected Wen Na and left here quickly. At first, they walked quietly, and after walking for a while, they began to shuttle quickly after being discovered.
A burst of shouts and horns sounded again in the Rose Palace, and then there were noisy and hurried footsteps rushing in one direction.
Taking advantage of this chaos, the three elite guards took Lily and the prince to Wen Na's place. At this time, they had changed into the clothes of the noble private soldiers, and the little prince was also wrapped in a layer of dark brown. in his coat, like a wounded soldier who needs to be treated.
Although the process was very thrilling, fortunately, these private soldiers came from different families and were not familiar with each other, so they were not exposed for a while, allowing them to pass through several palaces without any risk and came to the aqueduct in the palace. the lower layer.
Opening the fence and manhole cover, the three of them protected Lily and the prince in the middle, and began to shuttle among them.
The first half of the underground passage is the normal sewers, and the second half is the secret tunnel, and after finding the secret secret door, a few people let out a sigh of relief.
Then a guard lit a candle and opened the way ahead, and a group of people walked quickly.
The air is a bit gloomy and cold, but fortunately it doesn't smell bad. It is estimated that it is the result of the long-term closure here, and it is a bit dull.
After walking for more than ten minutes, several people estimated that they had left the position of Rose Palace at this time, and there was a hidden faint light in front of them, pushing open the closed stone bricks and wooden boards, a bang sounded, and several people walked out of here, Only then did he realize that the surrounding area seemed to be a cellar, storing a lot of bacon and grain.
"It should be in a noble house." Looking at the high-quality ham hanging around, a guard analyzed.
Hearing this result, several people were both happy and worried, but fortunately, Lily spoke in time to let them settle down for the time being.
"Let's go, go out and see, which adult's mansion is. The situation is not bad enough."
After all, there are only a few who launched the mutiny, and even the nobles may not be able to block the guards beside them. Although there are only three of them, all of them are Sequence 6 Transcendents.
Several people walked out of the cellar quickly and smashed open the closed door. At this time, there was a commotion, and several guards in the mansion rushed over with the shouts of the servants.
"Who are you?" They looked at the clothes of several people, their pupils shrank and they were very nervous.
"Who is your master?" Lily took a deep breath and took off her helmet to reveal her face.
Perhaps it was the majesty of the queen that was cultivated on weekdays. Lily's words reminded these guards of the appearance of some great people, and their hearts tightened, but they quickly revealed the identity of the owner of this mansion.
"Our master is Viscount Van Stein of the Adonis."
The Adoni family is a family with a long history in the empire. Although it is not prominent, there is also a viscount and two barons in the family. They live in the imperial capital all the year round. several nobles.
Lily quickly recalled the Viscount, and a picture flashed in her mind. It was when Amanke was alive, when he invited a few people to dinner in the palace, and this Viscount was among them.
"Van Sten's black and white military chess is good. When I was a prince, I used to play chess with him a lot. Unfortunately, because of his personality, he is not very willing to come out and help me." statement.
Although the viscount did not get any promotion or benefit after Aimank ascended the throne, at least in Aimank's heart, he was a trustworthy friend.
Did he expect this day long ago? Lily couldn't help but guess, and had a hunch that this was the truth.
In the few years she has been with Aimank, she has gradually become familiar with the character of this husband and the emperor. She is the kind of person who tries to think everything through, and it is hard to say that she has not prepared for the possible collapse in advance.
After all, he himself relied on a coup to come to power, and he would naturally be wary of the possibility of the same retaliation.
After Emmank ascended the throne, he only invited a few people from Van Stein to have dinner in the early stage, and then there was no contact or care, as if he had forgotten these old friends. Now it seems that this is not a kind of protection to avoid the crisis. It was all pulled up when it happened.
After negotiating a few words, the guard went to inform the Viscount, and soon Van Stein appeared at the entrance of the cellar.
He asked the other guards to step back first, and then he half-kneeled and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty, you are safe and sound, which makes me happy and at ease."
"Is this tunnel built under the direction of the Emperor in the past?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I see, then does he have any other means to stay?"
"Please come with me. It's urgent now. I'll talk as I walk." Then Van Stein took Lily and the others out of here quickly.
Although she has left the Rose Palace now, it is not safe. Titenya has been controlled and closed by the rebels. If she wants to leave the city, she may have to take another secret passage.
"At the beginning, His Majesty dug out five secret passages leading to the outside of the palace, and he also told five loyal servants or servants around him to use them at critical moments."
Among these five people, as long as one is alive or loyal, they can use the secret passage in times of crisis, and they do not know the identities of the other four and the existence of the four secret passages, which also prevents the possibility of all exposure due to mutiny. .
"However, although there are five secret passages in the palace leading to the city, there is only one secret passage from the city to the outside of the city."
"Titanya is a magnificent city built by humans and elves thousands of years ago, and there are even sages and elves among them.
The participation of the witch gave blessings and protection, and it was extremely difficult to break a passage in Titanian's well-protected barrier without attracting attention. "
"Only His Majesty has relied on his own blood and the sacred relics of the royal family to open up a narrow passage. Once this passage has a new emperor ascending the throne and holding the holy relic, he will immediately notice it, so we don't have much time left. ."
Van Sten explained the reason why they were going to the secret passage now, and the urgency of time, and then he brought a few people to the courtyard of the mansion.
"Now that the control has been implemented outside, we have no time to wait for those people to open the road. At this time, we can only rush over."
"According to His Majesty's statement, General Severly has attracted the attention of most people at present, and there will not be too powerful Transcendents patrolling the streets, so we must seize this momentary opportunity."
When the viscount explained, dozens of knights in armor had gathered in the courtyard. They were wearing armor, riding horses, and waiting for orders at any time.
"Housekeeper, move the money out of the house."
"Sir, is this?" The butler didn't react for a while.
"After a while, you will distribute the money to the servants in the mansion, and then let everyone leave, try to hide, and when this crisis is over, leave Titenia and go to other places to make a living."
"After I leave, someone will search here soon, it will be too late to leave then, hurry up!"
"Yes, my lord, but what about the wife and young lady who are on vacation in their hometown." The housekeeper had a faint realization in his heart.
"I have already sent them a letter. As for whether they can receive it in advance and then escape, they can only follow the guidance of the gods."
"A lot of things can't be done completely, I think you understand, old man."
"Understood, I understand." The butler replied with a sigh, and then he no longer hesitated, and asked the guards to move out the gold coins and property stored in the mansion.
"Now, let's go." Said, the gate of the closed courtyard slammed open, and a group of knights opened the way ahead, and then escorted a black carriage to the corner of the city quickly.
Before they went out, a signal firework rose from the sky and exploded in the sky. Soon there were some riots in several places in Titenia City, to cover and buy time for this group of people.
Going to run away, Lily.
The carriage was violently bumped, and the young queen comforted the child in her arms in a low voice. She held the wall of the carriage with one hand, raised her eyes, and looked at the noisy and warring street outside the screen window. The anxiety in her heart gradually settled.
You can no longer hide under the protection of others, tears are no longer useful, you are already a mother, and you must protect your children to live.
She repeated the sentence in her heart repeatedly, making her heart fast and tough.
