"Civil strife?!"

In Rose Castle, Olivia, the king of the Kingdom of Ittenel, asked in surprise.

She sat in the king's leather chair, and the quill on her fingers was still on the document, but her face no longer had the relaxed expression before.

"Yes, your Majesty."

A voice came from the King's Hall.

The court housekeeper Ruby Lester looked anxious and held her hands tightly on her chest. Her black and white maid outfit also shook slightly because of her breathing.

Betsy, the commander of the city defense force responsible for the safety of Haoyue City, stood behind Ruby. Judging from the expressions on the faces of both of them, it was not easy.

The military commander Betsie took a step forward, took a deep breath, and pressed his hands against both sides of his torso. "It is said that it was a rebellion launched by Grand Duke Shalom of Xiyan. The number of troops outside Haoyue City is more than 10,000. The specific number and composition of the troops are not yet clear."

"Xiyan Colonel..."

Olivia's pupils shrank slightly and she calmed down immediately.

She put the pen on the table and looked at the palace housekeeper in front of her with a calm look.

"I was negligent."

She stood up on the desk with her hands, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"I should have thought of it."

Olivia's face was gloomy and dark clouds were covered with darkness. She frowned and tapped the table with one finger.

"However, the city walls of Haoyue City are deep and the magic tower defense is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the army led by Xiyan attacks, they should not be able to attack." Olivia came.

"this……"

The chief guard and the chief guard looked at each other, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Don't you say that the fortifications in Haoyue City are vulnerable garbage. The army led by Xiyan easily broke through the strong city wall that had lasted for more than a hundred years?"

Olivia's face changed, and the military chief was so scared that his whole body trembled.

"Of course it's not Your Majesty. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Betsy looked embarrassed and said carefully, "It was just that some accidents happened. I don't know why the Xiyan leader's army appeared in the city. It seemed that it had been planned for a long time. When the Xiyan leader's army was at the city, the city gate was opened from the inside."

"What?!"

His Majesty the King's eyes were wide open. If she could still remain calm when she heard the word "inner strife" before, then the feeling of civil strife was truly real when she heard the city gates opened from the inside.

By this time, Olivia also realized the seriousness of the matter.

No, it's even more serious than she thought.

Olivia believes in the strength of the walls of Haoyue City, but she also understands this truth-

Once the gate of the city wall is opened, it no longer has a defensive effect.

This kind of scene was enough to shake the entire Haoyue City, and it reminded people of the same urgent night before.

"So what's going on now?" Olivia's eyes sterned and became extremely terrifying.

"The army led by Xiyan has entered Haoyue City, and the two sides are now fighting." Betsy responded, "but our standing army is limited, and I don't know how long it can last."

"Where is the garrison in Haoyue City?"

"It's still being dispatched, and it will probably take a while to arrive." Betsy said.

"Where are the residents, and the temple's safety, who will guarantee it?" Olivia asked sternly.

"Prime Minister Dylan has taken people to evacuate the residents," Ruby took a step forward. "Earl of Jessie took people to guard the temple, but the situation in the temple area is still unclear. Several grand dukes, including Duke Shalom, do not know if they are still in the temple."

"Unless they can teleport, they should be there."

Olivia nodded.

She was stunned for a second, and suddenly realized something.

A relaxed smile appeared on His Majesty the King's face.

It was a surprise to both Ruby and Betsy in this situation.

The two of them stared at the Majesty in front of them with big eyes.

"Shalom is a gentle person." Olivia laughed, "If she had no choice, she would not have done so."

Olivia stroked the back of her left hand with her right hand, and said with a smile, "So, she will definitely control this war to the shortest time and minimize the losses of the kingdom."

Olivia suddenly turned her head and looked out the window meaningfully.

"This time I'm targeting."

Ruby and Betsy trembled violently as if struck by lightning.

"If I were Shalom, I would definitely come here at all costs and kill the king in the castle before the garrison could return to help."

Olivia said this and turned around.

She held the long sword in her hand from the sword stand.

The sword body was shining with silver light and the sword mouth was sharp. The sword had been with her for a long time, just like the closest family.

"Since this is the case, we will definitely not let Shalom do what he wants." Betsie took a step forward and placed his right hand on his chest. "We will do our best to protect His Majesty's safety."

Olivia looked down at the sword without responding to her.

After a moment, His Majesty the King raised his head, "Oh, by the way, Grand Duke Shalom's child, where is my vanguard of the guard, Jima Eddington?"

"Not seen." Ruby turned her head, looking regretful, "I'm afraid that this time it's Jima, she's been arranged by Shalom by your side for too long."

"The situation in the pro-guard is also difficult to determine now, so you'd better stay here and we'll keep you safe."

"Where is that guy?"

Ruby knew who the guy she was talking about was, but...

"I don't know very well, you must know..." She frowned and slowly shook her head.

"I understand, she has the right to act independently." Olivia smiled slightly.

She took a deep breath and inserted the sword into the scabbard and hung it to her waist.

"I have to go and meet her." Olivia said calmly.

"she?!"

Betsy's eyes were full of doubts, and he didn't quite understand who His Majesty the King was talking about.

Only the court housekeeper who had been following the king for many years reacted very quickly and immediately understood.

"It's too dangerous, Your Majesty." Ruby's voice trembled slightly, and her face was filled with anxiety.

"If, as you said just now, Grand Duke Shalom came for you, wouldn't you go to find her so rashly..."

"What?!" Hearing this, Betsy finally woke up. Her Majesty the King just mentioned her, referring to Grand Duke Shalom.

"no!"

The chief of the army blocked the king, "We must be responsible for your safety, and I will never allow this to happen! Your Majesty, please stay here with peace of mind. In just a few more hours, we will quell this rebellion."

"No."

Olivia waved his hand calmly, "It was my responsibility to do what happened today."

She took a step forward, almost sticking to Betsy's chest.

His Majesty the King reached out and held Betsy's back, pressing his forehead against the other party.
