Chapter 344 The Twin Cities (9)
Danica stood there, letting Ai Xue work on her, embellishing every wrinkle on her clothes. This set of clothes was customized a long time ago because she thought it was troublesome to Danica and tried it on at one time, but it was already here, so she would wear it even if she was troublesome.
Hearing Philis say this, Danica nodded and said, "Yes, I have planned for this plan for a long time."
They are now in the living room on the fifth floor, and you can vaguely hear the cheers outside, the civilians mainly from the Lemir organization, as well as many nobles and merchants. Whether they are sincere or not, at least all classes in the entire Twin Cities are eagerly looking forward to their queen.
Phyllis said sarcastically: "They probably don't know what their queen is planning." According to Danica's plan, the city will be bleeding today.
After half an hour of tossing, Danica's clothes were finally sorted out. She looked outside, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, saying, "Believe in their rulers, this is the biggest mistake in itself - but it has to be believed, it is their greatest sorrow."
Phyllis has not been able to fully adapt to Danica's "straightforwardness". However, she also knows that it is impossible to convince Danica to change her mind.
After finally putting on the clothes, Danica was thinking about whether she could sit down and rest for a while, Aishi hurried over and said, "Master, you're ready."
"Okay, let's go there together." Danica stood up helplessly and said to Phyllis.
There is a small square at the entrance of the Aishi Chamber of Commerce villa. Lemil built a high platform overnight. Danica wanted to solemnly announce the establishment of the Gemini Kingdom here. They originally planned to be in the City Lord's Mansion, but I don't know what Danica thought. She just didn't want to go to the City Lord's Mansion. She had no choice but to find another place, and finally chose this small square.
Phyllis accompanied Danica at the forefront. Although they were nominally the queens of the Gemini Kingdom, this country belonged to Danica. It was agreed a long time ago that this was also the basis for the two of them to cooperate.
Behind Danica and Philis followed Emily, Aishi, Catherine, Lemil, Femier and others. Aishi and others were all very excited and a little nervous. They were the real powerful people of this emerging country. If the development of the Gemini Kingdom was developed, they would be the biggest beneficiaries besides Danica. Only Emily, her eyes were dull and she seemed a little bored. She originally liked this kind of lively occasion, but Aishi made a lot of rules, which made her feel bored.
The weather is good today. A few clouds float on the sky with cool autumn. The newborn sun rose from Danica's left hand, and the morning glow plated the entire square with a layer of golden color.
The high platform built by Lemir is about three or four meters high, and you can overlook the entire square when standing on it.
There were three or four thousand people standing in the small square at this time, including some nobles in gorgeous clothes. They stood in the middle. Although there was no special division of areas, the civilians still had instinctive awe when they saw the nobles. However, everyone's faces were filled with smiles. After all, the damage caused to this city by the middle awakeners who suddenly appeared before was too great. No matter who ruled the city, it was better than those beasts!
Standing on the platform, Danica felt strange, similar to anxiety, but not that serious. She recalled that she had never given a speech in public. She was used to controlling the whole situation in the dark. In her opinion, standing on the surface was too dangerous and too easy to be plotted by others, and she couldn't know it. Fortunately, it was only this time today, so there should be no problem!
Danica looked at the city of her own, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She stretched out her hands and said loudly: "From today, I will be your queen. This city, this king will flourish under my protection, and be loyal to me, and you will have a rich and peaceful life."
After making this declaration of founding, the civilians, nobles and merchants in the audience cheered and shouted "Her Majesty the Queen". The whole city was in joy, and they seemed to be able to see the prosperous life in the future.
Just as everyone was cheering, a sharp arrow flew towards the platform with a shrill whistling sound. The arrow was extremely fast, and even a sound of breaking through the air appeared. When he heard the sound, he was already close to him. The arrow shot towards Danica. Fortunately, Catherine was standing next to Danica. She took a step forward, pulled out half of the sword, and directly knocked the arrow away, and then looked at everyone in the audience with a hawkish-like gaze.
Seeing the queen being stabbed, the army maintaining order next to the square immediately became alert. Two squads were about to run here, and one squad ran in the direction of the arrow shooting.
The sudden situation stunned everyone. Some people planned to run away, but seeing soldiers at various intersections on guard, they had to stand there obediently. Some nobles began to whisper. They were not as rare as those civilians. Assassinations between nobles also occurred from time to time, but choosing at this time would probably anger the queen. Some nobles who knew the Kenster Trial still remembered the danger of this woman, and the city might have had some twists and turns.
Although he was not injured, this act of blaspheming the queen's dignity still made Danica angry. She looked at her people coldly and said, "If you dare to disobey your queen, blood will soak the city." After saying this, Danica turned around and left.
Danica had already turned halfway, and suddenly, a sharp musket sounded, and a painful heart in her chest, and a hideous blood hole appeared in her heart.
I knew that standing on the surface was too dangerous, and this was the last thought when Danica fainted.
The civilians, nobles and merchants who were already uneasy heard the gunshot and saw that Her Majesty the Queen was really injured, and it was so hurt that she was life and death. The whole crowd completely exploded, and everyone pushed and tried to escape from this place. The few people in charge of the guarding intersection could not stop the surging crowd at all, and they were about to be broken open.
But at this time, Catherine didn't care about organizing the army, and her mind was blank now - this was different from what she said before!
Just as Danica was shot, a faint black shadow rushed out of her shadow and chased after her in the direction of the musket.
In the crisis, Phyllis was not stunned there like Catherine, Aish, and Lemil. After seeing Danica's hands, Phyllis immediately stepped forward, hugged Danica, covered her with her body, and then said: "Fyllis."
Although a little reluctant, Feliz still stood opposite Philis, which was equivalent to two people surrounding Danica. This was obviously a premeditated assassination, and Philiz didn't dare to run back rashly with Danica. Who knew if there were any other ambush on the road?
Catherine, who recovered from shock, shouted to the messenger beside her: "Come the army and bring it here..."
"I don't recommend you do this!" Emily, who had been standing next to Danica, looked idle and bored, had a very serious expression at this time.
"What do you mean?" Catherine asked sternly. Her Majesty the Queen is already injured. What do Emily want to do now?
"It is the duty of the Guards to protect Her Majesty the Queen." Emily looked at Catherine coldly and ordered to the people next to her, "Guards, surround this place, kill anyone who dares to leave!"
After Emily said this, she stood beside her and was always considered an ordinary maid. In less than a minute, more than 500 fully armed troops in black armor surrounded the entire small square. Faced with the people who wanted to escape, the guards directly killed more than a dozen people in succession. The rolling heads and the flying blood did not calm the people down, but instead brought greater stimulation. Everyone ran like crazy, without direction and purpose, and seemed to think that as long as they stayed in place, they would bring about a murder.
"What are you doing!" Catherine shouted. How could it be so exciting to the people in panic at this time? Isn't this backfire?
Emily glanced at her and ordered: "Any person who dares to leave here will kill more than three thousand people? At most, they will kill them all!"
Aishi, Lemil and Femiler looked at Emily in surprise. They had been with Emily for a long time, but they never thought that this cute and cute girl had such a cold and bloody heart.
Facing Emily who suddenly changed her appearance, no one dared to speak. Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.
At this time, Philis said lightly: "Feimer, bring those two hundred intermediate elves here."
"Miss Yuelan..."
"Emily, what do you want to say?" Phyllis looked at Emily with indifferent eyes.
After a few seconds of confrontation, Emily lowered her head and said, "Now the master is injured, you still need to take charge of the overall situation."
Danica's previous idea was to let Aishi, Catherine and Lemil, plus her, Emily, check and balance each other, which led to no one with enough prestige who could stand up after the accident.
Phyllis ordered: "Take your people to check the villa of Aishi Chamber of Commerce and replace all the maids and servants."
Emily replied: "Okay, most of the maids in the villa of Aishi Chamber of Commerce are from the Guards."
Hearing this, Ai Xue couldn't help but look at Emily. The villa was nominally the branch of the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce in this city, so the maids and servants were all transferred from the Ai Xue Chamber of Commerce and had they become members of the Guards at that time? And what happened to this Guards? I have never heard of it before!
Phyllis nodded and said, "Cleaning up the situation around her." As she said that, she picked up Danica and said, "I believe you are all trustworthy. Now around me, let's send Danica back to the villa first."
"Yes." Emily, Aish, Catherine and Lemil replied in unison.
Surrounded by several people, Phyllis walked down the platform with Danica in his arms. Everyone was frightened along the way, but fortunately, there was no accident until they entered the villa. This was actually normal. Danica was still very concerned about her safety, and it was not easy to make a mistake. If someone was ambushing her on the way back, Ai Xue and the others would do their job in vain.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after walking into the villa, but then their hearts rose again because they noticed that Danica was in a bad condition, with no trace of blood on her face, and they were all mid-level professionals, and their keen senses could clearly feel that Danica was no longer breathing.
In the end, Emily asked with courage: "Miss Yuelan, the master is now..."
Phyllis glanced at her and said, "Just do your business well, don't worry about anything else." After that, he ignored them and walked towards their bedroom on the third floor with Danica in his arms.
Philis seemed to not want them to follow him, Ai Xue and the others could only stand there, a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to do now. Only Emily, who ignored Philis' orders at all, stepped over and followed him.
Phyllis stopped and looked at her, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" His tone was cold, even with a hint of sullenia.
Emily said: "I know Miss Yuelan doesn't trust us, but I actually don't believe in you either."
This sentence was extremely presumptuous and bold. Phyllis stared at Emily like a knife. After more than ten seconds, she suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Okay, come with me!"
Seeing this scene, Ai Xue felt a little regretful. She should have persevered. This is a good opportunity to show her loyalty, and she actually missed it!
Philis ignored the guys' thoughts and hugged Danica to her own bedroom. It would be better to be careful now. Philis is not sure whether Danica's bedroom is in danger, but at least her own bedroom is absolutely safe.
Put Danica carefully on the bed, Phyllis dragged a chair and sat down, saying, "What are you? Is it true?" According to the plan that Danica told her, there will be an assassination, and that arrow should have been arranged by Danica, but the shot later was different. It was obviously a real killer to take action.
