Chapter 107 2 Arrow
The wedding was held at the largest Cathedral of the Dormition of the Holy Spirit in the royal capital.
At the end of this winter, the Holy See finally arranged the handover of the Saint. It can be said that the position of Saint Lilith was replaced before she even had time to warm up to it.
But at least the people of the royal capital remembered this saint. This saint was different from the previous ones. Not only did she personally distribute porridge, she also found jobs for the refugees. Many refugees celebrated the wedding of the saint and the king in the outer city area.
Although Lilith herself might not realize it, she unknowingly did what Isa would do in the original timeline, and won some support for herself. At least when Lilith was in power, she broke the embarrassing situation that the saint was just a symbol of superiority.
“Is this really all right?”
Lilith rarely remained dignified and elegant even in front of her personal maid.
"Of course, Lady Saint, you are so dazzling today, you really look like a saint."
The maids shed tears of emotion. It was hard to imagine that the saint who once crossed her legs and pulled up her collar to cool down could be as elegant as she is today.
"It seems like I wasn't the same as before."
Lilith pouted and looked at herself in the mirror. The white wedding dress and the inky black hair complemented each other. Although she was petite, her temperament made up for it. After the careful dressing by the makeup artist, Lilith almost couldn't recognize herself.
It's a pity that my brother is not here. I don't know how he is doing now. Is it time for him to be weaned? I hope he has also traveled to his favorite game.
Lilith still feels that marriage is not real. She is not ready to spend her life with Clan. But just like the plot in the game, when this moment comes, Lilith can only accept it calmly.
The church bells rang. Lilith put aside all distractions and, led by the maids, pushed open the door. She saw Clan waiting for her outside.
As the male protagonist of the original work, Clan's temperament and appearance have reached their peak at this moment. Although he has just recovered from a serious illness, he looks full of energy.
Compared to before, Clan is now more reserved. Even when wearing a royal robe inlaid with gold threads and gems, he does not look dazzling at all.
The church's security is jointly managed by the royal family and the Vatican, and it can be said to be an ironclad system. As the solemn prayers of the priest sounded, the entire cathedral instantly fell silent. The priest stood in front of the altar, holding a canon, with a solemn expression, and announced the start of the wedding ceremony in a loud voice.
After the complicated ceremony, Lilith became the new queen of the country in the presence of members of the royal family.
Then we had to take a carriage back to the king's castle.
In order to create an image of himself as a people-friendly person and reduce the resistance of the people in the capital to the new policies, Clan chose an open carriage.
In the carriage, Clan, wearing a crown robe and holding Lilith's hand, waved the king's scepter in his hand to greet the people on the road.
The people on the roadside also cooperated very well by scattering the petals that they had prepared long ago.
At least on the day of the king's wedding, the capital was prosperous.
On an abandoned tower in the distance, a soldier checked flags with other soldiers to confirm that everything was fine. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, and a dark shadow crawled up his neck from under his feet. The soldier lost consciousness before he could even pull open the signal scroll.
"The security is tighter than I thought. I'll have to ask those greenskins to pay more when I get back."
The killer muttered to himself, took out many mechanisms from the shadows, and quickly put them together into a heavy crossbow.
Although the Black Crow Secret Party also wanted to have a shocking and gorgeous assassination like the death of Augustine III, it was impossible. The Black Crow Secret Party did not have a double agent like the Lantern Dream who could freely pass through the palace and approach the target, and set up magic circles. They could only use some simple means to carry out the assassination.
What's more, the royal family is already on high alert. From the perspective of the Black Crow Secret Party, even the mysterious organization that previously assassinated Augustine III has not been able to continue to target members of the royal family. The difficulty of this assassination operation is self-evident.
Being able to reach this distance with weapons without being detected is almost the limit for a freelancer.
The killer finally took out a simple crossbow arrow from the shadow. It was more like a sharpened needle-shaped stone than a crossbow arrow.
Looking at the king who kept turning his head and waving to the crowd in the distance, the killer hesitated for a moment and finally decided to shoot the body.
The killer could clearly feel that the king was wearing armor under his crown and robes, and it would be difficult to penetrate it with an unenchanted crossbow. But although the magic-breaking stone arrows could not be enchanted, the crossbow could, and the distance was enough.
With the efforts of several shadows, the killer finally got his strings ready.
"The price of this arrow is probably enough to buy a few wizard towers, right? Goddess of Shadow, if I hit the target this time, I will offer you my sacrifice when I return."
After placing the heavy crossbow on the stand and pointing several wizard towers at the king's chest, the killer pulled the trigger.
The magic-breaking stone arrow completely ignored the heavy magical defenses set up around Clan. Under the effect of the enchanted crossbow, it pierced through the armor Clan was wearing inside and went straight into Clan's chest.
Amid the cheers and crowds of people, Clan fell off the carriage.
Lilith reacted immediately and wanted to reach out to grab Clan, but in the end, only her fingertips barely touched the falling Clan.
The king was assassinated in public.
Lilith felt like her sky was collapsing.
Among the gray and white collars on the other side, Reina was already wearing the new military uniform designed by Lind.
Although it is a new military uniform, in fact, Lind just modified the style of the military coat in his previous life and changed the pattern to the style of another world.
Moreover, this set of clothes is not unique to the military, it is a distinctive uniform for gray and white-collar workers.
There are currently two sets, black and white. The white set represents military generals and military personnel, because the Lars family seems to particularly like white, and even likes to choose pure white armor.
Black represents the civil service system. Most of the new nobles who passed the exam and became officials again wore this color. Lind himself also wore black.
The new uniforms also made most officials understand that Lind preferred a simple and capable style. After all, even for senior officials, the only difference in uniform was an extra shawl. Compared with the complicated clothing etiquette among the nobles, it could be said to be an amputation below the neck.
This is also part of Linde's plan to change the etiquette system. Useless etiquette will only affect administrative efficiency.
"Linde, does it look good?"
Reina ran on the snow with her arms open, her golden hair fluttering in the cold wind, against the silver-white world, her cheeks slightly reddened by the cold wind. Reina didn't run far before turning back and giving Linde a bright smile.
"What's so good about this? This aesthetic is too simple, even more plain than us elves."
Tia lifted the hem of her coat. If she lived in modern times, she would probably evaluate Lind's design as a standard straight male aesthetic. Graya next to her agreed with Tia's idea very much, although Graya stared at Rena's white uniform with some envy.
There are two kinds of people who can sleep in the same bed. Lena likes Linde's straight male aesthetic very much, just like Linde likes the train prototype with a hardcore industrial style designed by Lena.
"We're in a meeting, be serious!"
Linde walked towards Reina panting. Although it was already the end of winter, the temperature was even lower than in the middle of winter.
Now Lind has summoned all the top personnel in the territory to discuss the spring battle plan and the king's intention to expand the queen's power in the royal capital, which may very likely affect whether the royal capital will interfere in the north in spring.
Reina pouted and walked back, but Lars's generals smiled with satisfaction. Although the Governor seemed a little relaxed recently and had the energy to engage in fashion design, as long as the relationship between the Governor and the Governor's wife was harmonious, it would mean harmony in the army.
The assassin not far away was scratching his head, wishing that the disgusting in-laws in his eagle eyes would turn against each other on the spot.
After all, although Reina doesn't look very smart, she is a real sixth-level professional and a Lars knight famous for her defense. She originally wanted to wait until the two of them were a little separated, but except for the fleeting opportunity just now, Reina and Lind were stuck together like conjoined twins for the rest of the time.
Only then did the assassin of the Black Crow Secret Party realize that the difficulty he faced was even greater than that of his colleague in the royal capital. After all, ever since the royal capital and the North fell out, there were no Lars' special guard knights around the king, but here there were Lars knights everywhere.
Moreover, in order to avoid the bard, this secret party assassin is now unable to even use his shadow. Sneaking into the territory of an ordinary lord is even more difficult than sneaking into the king's wedding.
Seeing the target about to enter the building, the assassin gritted his teeth, ready to leave everything to the Shadow Goddess, and the magic-breaking stone arrow broke through the air with the howling north wind.
Reina, who sensed something, suddenly hugged Linde. Linde was about to say that he was in a meeting and that he had to wait until the meeting was over before he could hug her, but he instantly felt a strong push.
Linde, who fell to the ground, felt something hot soaking his shoulder, and the weak Reina was using blurry eyes to confirm that she was okay, and then she smiled.
On the pure white uniform, a bright red blood flower bloomed on Reina's shoulder.
The stone arrow was stuck in Lena's shoulder and did not touch Linde, but Linde felt extremely painful at this time.
"The Governor has been assassinated, seal off the scene!"
"Target spotted, Guards? Where are the Guards?"
The scene was in chaos. Lucanus moved towards the assassin as quickly as possible. The nuns pushed through the crowd to check the injuries of Linde and Lena.
"Hurry and bring the holy water! The Governor's wife's injuries are not serious, but she is infected with the plague. Evacuate the people, quickly!"
These noisy sounds became smaller and smaller in Lind's ears. Reason told Lind that he should stand up and take charge of the situation, but his body could not move.
"Brother...you can't fall down yet. You want to be the prime minister, the highest official...you want to stand at the highest place..."
Lena's voice was weak, and even close to Linde's ear, her voice was barely audible. But to Linde, compared to the noisy voices around him, this voice was like thunder.
