"Leave the palace?!"

Emperor Brandon couldn't help but frown after hearing this. If it was some time ago, he was confident in the strength of the royal family and would definitely have no objection to Nia leaving the palace.

But now that assassins are rampant, and they have just assassinated two princes in the palace, it is impossible to say that he is not worried when he leaves the palace at this time.

The assassin behind this does not distinguish between men and women, and many princesses have died outside before.

"If you have to go to the palace, why don't you use magic to contact the other party? You also know the current serious situation. The palace is not safe anymore, let alone you leaving the palace rashly..."

Brandon said with some uneasiness. As his favorite daughter, he obviously didn't want Nia to take this risk.

"But after all, we have something to ask for. After all, it would be better for me to go there in person. Besides, the matter itself is complicated. How can we explain it clearly just by using magic to send a message?"

Her Royal Highness Nia sighed and said, why would she want to take this risk? But magic communication has limitations, and it is completely incomparable with communication tools such as telephones with the development of modern technology.

Not to mention the limitations of distance and space, the information conveyed by magic messenger light is very limited. It can be used to convey simple signals and some simple things.

You may want to discuss certain specific things, but that would obviously be inconvenient.

Strictly speaking, the summoning scroll that Ariel gave her before can be regarded as a kind of magic messenger, which is very high-end and rare.

But precisely because of its rarity, summoning scrolls are mostly used in emergencies to save life. Who would be so full that they would use up a space scroll just to send a message?

"But what if you happen to encounter an assassin on your way out of the palace? Are you sure you can survive?"

Brandon said with a frown.

"It's okay, dad. After all, I went out several times a while ago, didn't I? Nothing happened. As long as I go out in a low-key manner, it will be fine."

Nia smiled and pretended not to care, although she was equally uneasy in her heart. But after all, this was her family's business, even though she didn't like those brothers and sisters very much.

But you have to think about yourself and the entire royal family, right? It is better to take the initiative to seek a breakthrough than to stay in the palace and wait for death.

"And when I go out right now, it actually corresponds to the saying that the most dangerous moment happens to be the safest time. After all, this assassin just completed his murder last night."

"I'm afraid you would never think that someone would go out at such a critical moment, right?"

After hearing this, Brandon still disagreed. After all, this statement was just her guess. What's more, it was a matter of life, even if it was just a chance, he didn't want his daughter to take risks.

He was about to persuade her to tell her who was behind it, and then send someone else to ask for help. It would be safer this way, but he saw his daughter's insistent eyes.

After all, the words of persuasion were still on his lips, and His Majesty the Emperor finally sighed quietly.

"Well, if you insist, I will send someone to arrange it for you later."

"Well, thank you father."

Nia smiled slightly and nodded. In fact, she didn't know the dangers of this trip. But after all, it was for her family, and she didn't want to leave everything to her father.

Now I just hope that Ariel's life-saving trump card is reliable enough, otherwise this trip may be a disaster.

"But just in case, I'd better arrange for someone to accompany you to protect you."

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Brandon, who was finally a little worried, said. After speaking, he clapped his hands and called out a figure from behind the empty space.

"Osay, during the time when Nia is out of the palace, you will accompany her to protect her."

"Okay, no problem."

If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak out, Nia probably wouldn't have found out in the end. It turned out that her father was always followed by a personal guard.

She looked at the ordinary man in front of her with some curiosity, wearing a white robe. Judging from the man's hidden abilities and his father's attitude, it was obvious that he was at least a legendary strongman.

"Hello, Uncle Osei."

While secretly guessing in her heart, the blond girl greeted with a polite smile.

"Hey, what are you calling me uncle? Look how old you are when you call me. Just call me brother..."

After hearing this, Osei chuckled, then smoothed his long dark hair and said rather coquettishly.

"..."

Before Nia could be speechless for too long, she saw the ordinary man who had been laughing like a slut just now. The next moment, he was kicked in the back, and then he fell forward and fell into pieces.

"You don't need to worry about him, that's how good he is. He is only responsible for the safety of your trip. For the rest, you can just treat him as if he doesn't exist."

Brandon, who was beside him, slowly retracted the kick he just kicked out and said calmly as if nothing had happened.

"Okay... okay. If it's okay, I'll go back and get ready."

Looking at the clearly visible footprints on the butt of an ordinary man, the blond girl couldn't help but twitch her eyes for a moment, almost unable to maintain her noble self-cultivation.

"Well, you go back first. I still have some things to tell you, Uncle Osei."

Obviously, she is still not as good as her father in this regard. His Majesty Brandon's expression remains unchanged at this moment.

It was only after Nia walked a little further that she vaguely heard some roaring coming from the room she had just walked out of.

"...You fucking...have some potential...bastard...don't try to take advantage of my daughter..."

…

Not to mention how miserable a certain guy behaved, but being protected by a legendary strongman. Coupled with the summoning scroll given by Ariel before, this really made Nia feel at ease.

After all, this is equivalent to the protection of two legendary strong men. Isn't this kind of protective lineup luxurious enough?

‘Even if there is a legendary assassin behind me, my trip should be fine, right? It’s stable this time...’

Her Royal Highness, who had just set off, had already ridden an ordinary carriage and left the imperial city in a low-key manner with few people knowing.

For a legendary powerhouse to personally protect one person is actually an overkill. After all, so many princes and princesses have died before, but His Majesty the Emperor has never asked a legendary powerhouse to specifically protect him.

Being able to send a legendary strongman to investigate the situation at the right time is already the limit. Because in reality, compared to the so-called "high status" princes and princesses.

The value of a legendary strong man is far more important.

From this we can see that Brandon specially arranged for Osay to escort her on her trip. This is how much he dotes on his daughter and how much he values ​​her so-called strong character.

Of course, it would be better if the legendary strongman who sent the escort could be more serious.

"Little Nia, where are we going?"

Osei's teasing questioning voice seemed to be ringing in his ears, but the strange thing was that he could only hear the voice, and couldn't see where the person was at all.

"Tower Academy..."

For Nia, who had long known that the other party was a legendary strongman, she was already used to this.

"Nine-story Tower Academy? Is that friend of yours a mage? But I have heard more or less about the instructors in the Nine-story Tower. Who are you looking for?"

His off-kilter voice made it difficult for the blonde girl to tell for a moment whether he was deliberately telling a story, or whether he was really just making up something casually.

"Um."

However, she obviously did not reveal Ariel's intention in front of the other party, so she could only deal with it casually.

"Don't be so cold~ Xiao Niya, although you don't know me, I have watched you grow up. I still have images of you running around with your butt naked when you were a child..."

It's a pity that Nia wanted to be perfunctory, but Osei refused to let her do so, and continued to tease her relentlessly.

"Uncle Osei! What on earth do you want to say!"

After hearing that he went too far, Nia finally couldn't bear to speak. She was afraid that this guy who claimed to have watched her grow up would speak unobtrusively and reveal some unknown dark history to her.

"Didn't I tell you to call me brother? Even though I'm so young, I'm only 18 years old! You still call me uncle. I don't know how old you are by calling me."

Osei didn't seem to notice her impatience, and still struggled with the issue of address.

"Okay, Uncle Osei. Are you done?"

The blond girl responded expressionlessly, but she said it deliberately and it was a little bit of revenge.

"Oh my god, I really can't fix it for you."

Although an invisible guy said this, his joking tone did not change much. It could be heard that he didn't really care about such a title.

He was just talking nonsense all the way, but when he was laughing, his words suddenly changed.

"But Xiaonia~ Is the magic scroll you have been compiling in your hand the life-saving trump card given to you by your legendary friend?"

These words made Nia, who had been hiding her hands in her cloak, subconsciously tighten the scroll in her hand. Just in case, she did always hold the summoning scroll given by Ariel in her hand.

However, the other party's words made her frown slightly and she said speechlessly.

"Uncle Osei, is your hidden ability invisible to others just used to spy on girls?"

"Ah this? Don't make me sound like a wretched uncle, okay? You know your uncle... ah, your brother and I have stayed clean and single for so many years."

Orsay defended his behavior dissatisfiedly, and then explained the reason.

"Because you are too nervous. For a strong warrior. The curvature of your body when you deliberately sit up straight, the muscles that are always slightly tense... these can all expose your little movements."
