Chapter 460 Despair Is Like a Snake, Anxiety Is Like Sand

At first, when Isabel saw Queen Sofia, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

It was not because she thought that "this ceremony can be easily passed"... but just because she felt that she had the opportunity to see her deceased grandmother again, which was a very lucky thing. Just like seeing an acquaintance or classmate in the newspaper, she would feel very happy about it.

And Isabel noticed that this introduction plot said that this was "announcement of the destruction of the Kingdom of Avalon" and it happened in the near future. So it would have some reference value... As the Queen of Avalon, Isabel must pay attention to this promotion ceremony anyway.

Maybe she can get some information from it to make the real Avalon avoid this future.

But soon, Isabel saw her cowardly and weak appearance.

She couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and she wanted to take her off and let herself go. It was also the first time that she saw how immature she was from the perspective of an observer.

But after that, when Isabel realized that Queen Sofia was going to arrange a marriage for "herself", the smile on her face disappeared.

——I am what you can get?

Anger and resistance sprouted in Isabel's heart, and her hostility towards Queen Xingti and the prince instantly reached its limit.

Isabel made up her mind at that time that she would not continue to act like this even in her dreams.

But then, she saw her grandmother being poisoned by Minister Droste, herself being framed, the contemptuous face of the vicious woman from Xingti, and the knights in the Round Table Hall killing each other...

When Isabel woke up, she subconsciously clenched her fists and couldn't help shaking all over.

It was not because of fear, but anger.

Isabel's temper is considered to be very good. She has never lost her temper since she was born. She has never felt anger from the bottom of her heart, so disgusting or even hating someone.

But this time, she tasted what "anger" is for the first time.

It was a feeling like breathing violently into a pot of burning charcoal - the heart and lungs felt the burning heat, the head swelled, and there was a burning sensation in the bottom of the eyes, which made the eyes sore and tears almost flowed out.

She was not afraid or sad, but her tears kept flowing as if stimulated, her chest kept rising and falling, and she breathed in tremblingly.

Isabel could feel that the back of her head seemed to flow to her spine with some cool liquid. The body held in Shafiya's arms seemed to be shivering as if it had a fever, and it curled up more and more as if it wanted to turn into a fetus again, and compressed its body as much as possible like a cat.

The power from the path of beauty constantly magnified her agitated emotions and inspired her inspiration. Isabel's pupils burned with green flames, and the power from the heart echoed in the air like water waves, making the air around her blurry.

——If she had a powerful bomb at this moment, Isabel would have wanted to rush back to the Silver and Tin Palace and explode with them!

And soon she thought that she still had Avalon to protect, and Aiwas was waiting for her...

Isabel gradually regained her rationality.

"... Don't be afraid, Isabel. They shouldn't be able to catch up."

At this moment, Shafiya suddenly spoke and whispered comfortingly: "There will always be a way... I will protect you."

As she said, she put Isabel in her arms on the ground and reached out to wipe away the tears accumulated in her eyes.

... So the introduction has ended?

Isabel was stunned and didn't speak, and she realized this belatedly.

This is the largest bell tower in the Red Queen District, which is the place where Janice overlooked the entire Glass Island when she left.

Isabel stood in the same place as at that time, watching the dark clouds gradually spread out from the Silver and Tin Palace, and the hallucinations of fighting and cursing seemed to ring in her ears.

The wronged Isabel did not sob in grievance, nor did she become hysterical due to fear and confusion, which made Shafiya feel a little relieved. She just folded her arms across her chest, huddled up, stood there silently and stubbornly, staring at the front with empty pupils, as if looking at some virtual image left in front of her eyes... Only the tears on her face kept flowing silently.

The real and exciting emotions were very contagious, making Shafiya, who witnessed all this, feel wronged and sad for her, and couldn't help but feel sour in her nose when she thought about it.

... Little Isa is really a good child, and it's really not easy.

But what can I do...

Shafiya sighed secretly, feeling desperate about the situation, and could only frown slightly and wipe the tears from Isabel's face gently. But soon, she realized that this might not work, so she simply hugged Isabel and let her cry in her arms.

She didn't say anything.

Because Shafiya felt that even if she said a lot now, Isabel probably wouldn't understand.

Based on her knowledge and understanding of the little princess...Isabelle's brain was probably blank at this moment.

Her only relative, elder, the monarch of Avalon, was poisoned by Minister Droste, whom she and her grandmother trusted, and those knight elders who were gentle and friendly to her killed each other without mercy, and the banquet hall full of laughter and joy was instantly covered with blood and death. Someone even took away the name and existence of "Isabelle" from her, turning her into an assassin who murdered her grandmother...

Everything happened in an instant, from the poisoned wine to their escape from the scene, the whole process took less than a minute.

Even if it was not the timid Isabel, but someone else... When seeing this series of silky combos that happened like dominoes and made people unable to react at all, I am afraid that their brains would crash for a moment.

She must stay here to protect Isabel.

Such a thought came to Shafiya's mind.

Since the queen died and the fake Isabel appeared, I am afraid that the kingship will also fall into the hands of the Xingtan people. Then Avalon would be very dangerous... The Iris people were completely untrustworthy. The living environment of the Everfrost Empire was too harsh, and it was even more impossible for them to cooperate with the cunning and dangerous goblins. Therefore, they only had one way left, which was to surrender to the elves of the Theocracy.

Although the Theocracy was still in a state of turmoil, they had no choice.

Isabel had to be escorted to the Theocracy.

She could definitely do this easily - although she was born as a law mage and did not know how to ride. But as long as she found a pure-blooded griffin, she could ride the griffin and take Isabel away safely.

Strictly speaking, in fact, with the speed of the griffin, the griffin alone could take Isabel directly to the Theocracy. But Shafiya would definitely be worried about that.

Isabel had never left the Glass Island, or even the Red and White Queen District. As the only princess of the Avalon royal family, she had never lived on her own, and she was so shy that she stuttered when communicating with the Avalon people, and her Elvish was not fluent enough to communicate normally. If she was sent directly to the Theocracy, which was still in a state of chaos, she might get lost... or be kidnapped by the goblins.

Not to mention, Xingti dared to act so boldly, and their army might be on the way. If Isabel was allowed to leave by herself, it would be tantamount to murder.

If Shafiya followed her throughout the whole process, Isabel's safety problem could be solved.

...But if that were the case, Queen Sophia's body would not be available.

If the body has been dead for too long, the blood of the body will deteriorate. Once the blood begins to decay, it will lose the possibility of being used as a ritual material - and the "Shadow of Avalon" ritual is only one step away from completion.

Prince Albert is suspected to have died, and the bloodline of the Du Lac family is currently only John and Isabel. And they are only in their early twenties, and no one can be sacrificed to activate the ritual.

She must resurrect Lancelot.

Otherwise, Isabel alone will never be able to take Avalon back from that group of people. The Star Antimony people even prepared a substitute that is exactly the same as Isabel...Who knows if it is a trick of those necromancers and alchemists, maybe she also has the blood of Du Lac!

Anyway, Isabel is also a transcendent of the Path of Beauty, and she can't activate the Scepter of Avalon.

Whether she is real or fake, many privileges of the monarch of Avalon cannot be exercised. And those traitors who betrayed Avalon and turned their swords against their colleagues will definitely not turn back even if they die - they will die anyway, so they might as well stand there until they die.

Janis has left Avalon, Meg, the pillar of the kingdom, has passed away, and Grand Justice Arius has also aged.

She and George alone can't do anything.

There are even descendants of the founders among the traitors, and maybe their guardian elves also participated in the coup... After all, the Pope's order to them is just to keep these apostles from extinction, not to say that they must stand on the side of Du Lac.

If Isabel is only saved, and Avalon cannot be taken back later. That is also a failure... Maybe Isabel will need to use her life to complete the ritual in the future. Then the rescue at this moment seems to be equal to no rescue.

Therefore, if you want to take Avalon back from those hateful Starmen, you must get Sophia's blood as soon as possible.

The Starmen must not know the existence of the "Shadow of Avalon" ritual, so they will not pay too much attention to Sophia's body.

As long as I can secretly touch the body...

But in that case, Isabel can't just leave it here.

Although the traitors don't have the "Eye of Avalon" in their hands, it is impossible to directly lock Isabel. Let's not talk about it for the time being, there is a possibility that I can't come back alive... If Isabel is not sent to the Theocracy, she will always be in danger. It's not just the Starmen who want to kill her, but the survivors of the entire Round Table Hall.

——In other words, it's the entire Avalon.

As long as Isabel dies, the identity of the fake will be completely confirmed. By then, she would be the only Du Lac, the Queen of Avalon. It would be reasonable for the knights to be loyal to her and obey her orders... and the entire Avalon would be in the hands of the Star Antimony.

"Ah, what should I do..."

Shafiya felt an abnormal headache, and she grabbed her hair hard, pulling and tearing it.

She was so anxious that her scalp was about to explode.

The dual pressure of saving Avalon and preserving the Du Lac family was completely on her alone.

And she had just given birth a few months ago... Her own daughter was still waiting for her at home!

She couldn't speak yet, and she was still drinking milk.

No delay. No exposure. No failure. No death.

Shafiya took a deep breath and hugged Isabel tighter, as if she wanted to draw some peace of mind and courage from the princess.

——But she only felt dizziness in front of her eyes.

Despair was like a snake, anxiety was like sand.
