"Brother!
Aren't you going to wake up? "
There was a knock on the door. Many people opened their eyes and smiled helplessly. They got up and tidied up their pajamas. They did not put on their prosthetic legs and used the wooden cane they had used earlier to open the door for Zaliya.
"Good morning, Brother!"
Sally opened the door and stretched out her small arms to hug Many. She let out a sweet cry before letting go. Then, she obediently helped Many back to the bed.
Many couldn't say anything since the little girl insisted. Perhaps this was the only way to lessen the guilt in her heart!
Looking into her innocent eyes, Many couldn't bring himself to reject her.
"Where are we going today?
The dress Madam bought yesterday is really beautiful! "
"Didn't Salia buy anything suitable?"
Many watched as Salia straightened his prosthetic leg and fastened the laces himself. "Just buy something you like. The mercenary group's commission is not small!"
Salia smiled as she listened to Many's words. She then took out a set of clothes from the dimensional pocket of her robe. "I bought this for you, Brother, hehe …"
"Oh?"
Many of them took it and found that it was a formal dress made of black and red, but it was not gaudy. Many of them put it on without hesitation, and with the help of the young girl, they stood up, walked around in a circle stiffly, and looked at the mirror. The dress was well-tailored, and it was very suitable for attending events like the Noble Assembly.
"It looks good."
Madam Vasaki's voice came from outside the door. Needless to say, this dress was specially chosen by a madam who knew Many's measurements, but Salia was the one who paid for it.
Many felt warmth in his heart. After greeting his wife, he joked around with Salia and washed up with Madam Vasaki. Then, he and Madam Vasaki prepared to complete the day's' mission '.
The so-called mission wasn't that busy. They just had to build three teleportation circles in a few districts in Siliath. Just like in Sith's Court, Many and Madam Vasaki just had to finish what they needed to do.
Yuna, on the other hand, was not called upon. Wherever they went, they were as bright as torches in the darkness.
He knew very well that after entering the city, there would definitely be countless spies in the surroundings. However, these tricks were nothing to him and Madam Vasaki. The three of them disappeared around a corner under the effect of Madam's illusion. At the same time, three identical illusions appeared in the same place and continued to stroll around the streets as if nothing had happened.
Arriving at the location that Henry had prepared, the Madam quickly began the construction of the Transmission Array.

Not long after they left, an inconspicuous horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of a hotel.
The guards wearing the uniform of the Royal Guards stood on both sides of the carriage. Normally, they wouldn't do this, but because the news of the Trolls had spread throughout Sirius, they held their weapons nervously.
Princess Flora walked out of the carriage. She raised her head and looked at the entrance of the inn. She calmed her breath and walked down.
Her heartbeat sped up for no reason. Princess Flora could clearly feel it.
Her Highness was wearing a navy blue dress today. There weren't too many patterns or decorations. Her hair was simply combed into a ponytail. It looked very simple, but it also gave people a feeling of closeness.
The original Princess didn't have this kind of temperament. If you were to describe Flora half a year ago, it would be "arrogant". But now, "reserved" and "calm" were the epitome of the Princess.
The Princess didn't raise her chin like before. Instead, she looked calmly in front of her. For her safety, the captain of the guards stopped the Princess from being the first to enter.
Three or four guards followed the captain into the seemingly empty inn in the noble district. They saw Yuna, who was on duty.
"What can I do for you?"
Yuna stood up. His tall figure instantly shrouded the guards in front of him.
Because he was on duty, Yuna was still wearing steel armor. He wasn't equipped with a steel spear, but the two-meter-long curved sword at his waist was full of murderous intent. The guards instinctively took a step back.
However, his standard Saint-Remain accent made the guards resist the urge to draw their swords. The captain of the guards was a man of manners. He immediately bowed in a formal manner and told Yuna the reason why he was visiting the Baron.
"The Count is out. He'll be back at night."
Yuna didn't want to talk too much. It was mostly because he knew that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.
The captain nodded and left the inn. When the Princess was told the news, the corner of her mouth that was originally slightly curled up subconsciously. However, her expression didn't change much. She just nodded and was ready to walk back to the carriage.
After all, this wasn't a formal visit. It was a one-sided visit for personal reasons. The Princess didn't tell the people in charge that she would be coming today. It was understandable that she would encounter such a situation.
However, just as the Princess lowered her body and was about to enter the carriage, the unique sound of a crossbow being cocked suddenly came!
The guards beside him didn't hesitate to stand in front of the Princess. With a muffled sound, the arrow pierced through the soldier's abdomen. However, it stopped just a few centimeters away from the Princess' body!
"Assassin!"
The captain of the guards shouted without hesitation. The whole team immediately got into a defensive stance. However, there were a few more sounds of arrows tearing through the air. A few of the soldiers in front fell instantly. However, there were still some who were skilled in martial arts who blocked the arrows with their swords!
Flora turned around and looked at the few black shadows on the roof. She didn't seem to care about the situation at all. She turned around and walked into the specially treated carriage without saying a word.
This kind of situation had happened many times, but not once did it pose a threat to the Princess. It seemed to be a dangerous situation, but even the guards didn't know that the inconspicuous dress Flora was wearing was as strong as plate armor. In the dark, there were still a few "experts" of the Royal Family protecting her.
The figure on the roof saw that he didn't have a chance to attack after missing his first shot. He turned around and tried to escape, but in the next moment, a few figures suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slit his throat. Needless to say, the people who tried to assassinate the Princess were too weak.
Because this was the Noble District, high-level professionals had to have identification before entering. If they didn't, they would be the first to be discovered by the alarm system. So these people used crossbows, the usual assassination equipment. Of course, it didn't seem to be very effective.
However, what happened next made the captain of the guards tighten his grip on the hilt of his sword!
Just as the Royal Guards beside the carriage were organizing the troops, reporting the information, and taking care of the wounded, dozens of people suddenly rushed out from the surroundings!
They were all dressed differently. They looked like passersby. This was the Noble District. Other than the nobles, there were only people who worked in the service industry. Their clothes ranged from waiters to chefs. But at this moment, they were all here for the Princess!
They were all holding huge crossbows in their hands!
The crossbows were already on the bowstrings!
This was a premeditated assassination. It was obvious that the enemy had put in a lot of effort!
The captain of the guards immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He instantly understood the enemy's intention. These people were all men of sacrifice!
They dared to move in the Noble District. It was obvious that they were ready to die together with the Princess!
The guards had a total of twenty people, including five high-level professionals who were stealthy. If they fought them head-on, the enemy would have no chance of winning. But if their target was only the Princess, it was very dangerous!
Each of these people was holding a standard crossbow of the Empire of Saint Reims. This scene made the captain of the guards' pupils shrink. This kind of crossbow was very powerful. Warriors below grade six would not be able to resist it!
Before he could think further, a series of buckling noises rang out. Unsurprisingly, a few of the soldiers who were ready for battle without the protection of shields fell instantly. Before they could react, another wave of crossbow bolts came, turning their troops into a mess!
It was too fast!
In more than ten seconds, these people had rushed to the front of the carriage, and there were only five or six people left in the guards. The professionals who appeared in the air killed these men of sacrifice without hesitation, but they did not get any response from the other assassins!
They did not care whether their own people were dead or not. They were only here for the Princess!
There was no magician in the team, and the assassins could not stop so many people in a few seconds!
These people's attack was very rhythmic. It was obvious that they had gone through a long period of training. The three batches of crossbow bolts were almost uninterrupted. Several skilled warriors were shot down one by one because they could not let the carriage get hurt!
When these people rushed to the front, the captain of the guards was really the only one left to block in front of the Princess's carriage!
"For Saint-Rames!"
His body burst into a ball of light. He held his sword in front of him and used his body to block in front of the carriage!
As a member of the guards, protecting Her Highness was the top priority. Even if he had to bleed to the last drop of his blood, he would still be at the front!
