Chapter - 51 || This One Has Seven Petals

With a thud, the sound of military boots echoed through the court of the Kingdom of Turku.

The fact that he was visiting as a guest should have put him at a disadvantage, but he had enough weapons, soldiers, and knights.

They had many collaborators.

Of course, reinforcements from the empire were coming, but without waiting for them, Rudolf and his team made their move.

"One moment, please."

"Shut up!"

Rudolf walked incessantly toward the King's chamber.

"Wait!"

"I won't wait."

Those who blocked his way, he slashed at them without mercy.

The soldier in front of him looked at him with a grudge as he fell.

"What? Why!"

"You set me up first."

"No, I didn't."

"Ask the Lord."

The lowly soldiers, who had no idea that Alexander had kidnapped Elvira, had to fight without knowing why.

As a result, morale was low.

There were small brawls here and there, but many of them fled before they could fight.

There were people who looked like mercenaries from wherever they had gathered, but they were the fastest to escape.

As he looked at the faces of the people he was slashing at, Rudolf thought.

Until recently, they had welcomed them as guests.

Some of the people lying on the ground now would have been people Elvira knew.

Some of them would have been close friends.

He thought that Elvira would be heartbroken if she saw him, but Rudolf still moved forward.

——

"Get the king out of here!"

"Hurry!"

Julius and the other court knights were desperate to fight the battle that had suddenly started.

At first, they decided to use a hidden passage to let Alexander and the others out.

I hurried through the hallway.

"Julius, please."

Julius, who had planned to deliver his resignation today, was puzzled when Jacek told him so in person.

Jacek went away in a hurry and he could not reply.

We have to protect it.

Protect what?

I don't know.

Julius was disgusted with himself for being so vague at this point in his life.

If he was going to get caught up in the fight and die, he had a feeling that would be a good thing.

It was all the result of what I had done so far.

Alexander and Natalia were suddenly frightened.

Natalia, in particular, was shaking so badly she couldn't even speak.

"Lady Natalia, please take my hand."

Another soldier would lead Natalia away.

"One moment, Your Majesty!"

But then an exhausted soldier appeared.

The soldier, covered in wounds, bent his knees and announced,

"It's also dangerous outside... Enemy reinforcements are gathering in capital one after another. I think it's best not to use this passage."

"Nonsense!"

The Zomer Empire's reinforcements had not yet arrived here, but soldiers from the Duchy of Kien and the Duke of Lustro and Count Sylven were gathering.

The soldiers became more agitated.

"How well prepared were they?"

"Was that the plan all along?"

"So how the hell did this happen all of a sudden?"

The soldiers, unaware of what was going on, asked one question after another.

"We'll talk about that later!"

The older knight said, and the plan was hastily reworked.

"We'll have to fight them head on."

"But we're outnumbered."

Despair enveloped the knights. Then, someone said,

"Wasn't there another hidden passage nearby?"

"Let's hurry up and find it."

Natalia suddenly felt uneasy. There was the room near here where she hid the withered lilies.

They could find it by searching for the hidden passage.

So how do I fool them?

If I told them not to look there, they would be even more suspicious.

However, despite Natalia's concerns, there was no sign of another hidden passage or hidden room.

The soldiers were impatient, but Natalia was a little relieved. However,

"Oh, we have a Saint here."

Someone muttered something unnecessary.

"Saint, if you pray for us, we can find a way out."

One of them said, and the others began to agree with him.

"Holy Saint, please."

"If the Saint prays for us, we can repel them, can't we?"

Natalia could not say anything. She knew that her praying would not change anything.

I was a fake Saint who could only pray fake prayers.

Seeing Natalia standing there, her palms clenched tightly, the soldiers began to murmur.

Why won't you answer me? I'm not asking for much. Why? What is the reason?

"...Saint?"

Someone mentioned.

"Could it be?"

"Are you sure she's a fake?"

The frustration of the moment was slowly making its way to Natalia.

"Your Majesty..."

Natalia looked to Alexander for help. But then,

"What the hell?!"

They found the hidden room with withered lilies in it. Natalia tried to stop them, but it was too late.

"—What is that?"

"They're the Maiden Lilies."

"But they're dead."

The soldier who had peeked into the back of the room turned around, having a look of surprise on his face.

"As this is so!"

The remnants of the fake Maiden's Lily that we used for the unveiling were quite a shock, since it was clearly man-made.

"I knew it! Natalia was the fake saint!"

"We've been deceived!"

"That's right!"

Alexander was pleased with his performance. I wasn't sure if I should throw it away or not, but I'm glad I kept it. I still had some luck.

"It's all Natalia's plan. She's not a saint, she's a witch."

Alexander pointed at Natalia.

"Get her! And turn it out to the enemy that Natalia is responsible for all this. They're probably angry because Natalia is a fake saint."

"Huh?!"

The soldiers took Natalia into custody.

"This is terrible! Alexander-sama!"

Natalia countered, but with the withered lilies and fake remnants there, it seemed like a flustered excuse.

Everyone in the room believed Alexander. Except for one person.

"Wait a minute."

Julius bent down and picked up the remnants.

"Look closely, it has seven petals."
