"Hmph... He doesn't have the ability like you... Let's get down to business, Lord Li Ang, now that you know our identities, what do you want to do?"
Faced with Li Ang's strange annoyance, the maid-looking prophet just smiled contemptuously without any fluctuation in her mood.
"What? You plan to talk to me as a maid? Didn't Inna tell you? I was entrusted by Lady Anna's father, Sir Ols, to ask questions on behalf of her father - do you think it is appropriate for me to talk to a maid about this kind of thing...?"
Li Ang crossed his legs carelessly. "Moreover, you, a maid, are sitting at the main table talking to the marshal of the kingdom. Isn't that a little too courageous? The guards outside can see it! Is it possible that you really intend to let His Majesty see something?"
The prophet's face twitched obviously, but he did stand up and stood in the corner with a respectful attitude - that's where the maid should stand.
"Lord Li Ang, Anna can't come, she must accompany the king in the palace... She will come with Ulrich in a while. So, if you have anything, talk to me quickly, don't waste time."
Although he was ridiculed by Li Ang for a while, the prophet still maintained a peaceful attitude and appeared to be very qualified.
Obviously, she doesn't want to cause any trouble here.
However, this kind of groveling will definitely lead to losses during negotiations.
Moreover, Li Ang confirmed one thing through the continuous strange emotions - Three Prophets truly believed that Anna was the daughter of Ols.
To be honest, this is not really a lie.
If Anna is an orphan raised by Sister Clancy, then she can indeed be regarded as the daughter of Ols.
"Before we get down to business, I have to ask you a question...Amy was accused of heresy in Vulpine Town. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Li Ang plans to confirm his thoughts first.
"Haha... Lord Li Ang, since you know our identities, you should understand that we can't cause trouble for ourselves at this time. We are also very curious about who did it - my other sister has already gone to Vulpine Town to investigate..."
The prophet answered cheerfully. Since Li Ang already knew their identities, she no longer kept it secret.
"Very good, since it has nothing to do with you, then we have a basis for cooperation."
Li Ang nodded and started making requests directly. "I plan to ask you to help. Please His Majesty the King take back the king's order against Godric and Amy, and issue another king's order - I need the king to publicly order Amy and Godric to be responsible for tracking down the heretics."
"Lord Li Ang is indeed extraordinary. I thought you would insist that we did it... but it is not easy for the king to withdraw the edict that has been issued. Moreover, why should we cooperate with you?"
The prophet stood in the corner with his head lowered, seemingly relieved, but he did not seem to intend to cooperate.
However, this tone is obviously giving in.
A smile appeared on Li Ang's face - this meant that Three Prophets would probably not fall out with him directly now, he only needed to guard against their plot.
In other words, as long as Ulrich is not dead, and as long as Anna's 'child' has not been designated as the heir, then Three Prophets is not willing to take the initiative to provoke Li Ang, the marshal of the kingdom.
They don't want to cause trouble.
And from the looks of it, Three Prophets does not regard Li Ang as an enemy...
This is correct. During the time of Long River Town, the coalition army to which Li Ang belonged defeated them openly on the battlefield, and finally handed them over to Ryman. There was indeed no personal grudge between the two parties.
On the contrary, it was Granlon and Forster - when these two went to 'find the king's seal', they destroyed Three Prophets's old nest near Misty Marsh Fortress. It is estimated that they were regarded as enemies by Three Prophets.
That would be easy...
"Why should you cooperate with me?... Because, if you don't cooperate with me, you will have to become the servants of Amy!"
Li Ang shook his head and smiled, "Amy was said by Vulpine Town's heresy to be the 'coming of Dark Goddess'. You must have heard about this, right? If you don't plan to betray your faith, then you have to cooperate with me to solve this problem!"
In fact, this is the reason why Li Ang came to negotiate with the princess...
If Amy is identified as the deity of Dark Goddess, then all heretics who worship Dark Goddess must regard Amy as a god...
Three Prophets is also a believer of Dark Goddess, but Li Ang does not believe that Three Prophets will regard Amy as his master.
"Hmph...Lord Li Ang, you don't seem to understand the situation."
The prophet was not fooled by Li Ang: "We are not prophets now... My sister is the princess, I am her maid, and my sister's child is about to become the king - how can the princess be a heretic? How can the future regent mother regard a heretic as her master..."
"Ha, you said that the God you believe in is a heretic? You actually openly betrayed Dark Goddess?"
Li Ang glanced at the prophet in surprise. Unexpectedly, Three Prophets, who obtained power from Dark Goddess, would dare to say such words, "Aren't you afraid that Goddess Eredar will punish you after hearing this?"
"Lord Li Ang, I might as well tell you directly... This Noble Council tower is the center of the Pande Continent, a place where no god can peek. Goddess Eredar can't hear what I say..."
The prophet smiled lightly, "Besides, when my sister's child becomes the king, Goddess will naturally know our loyalty."
So that's it...
No wonder Noble Council Garden has flowers blooming all year round.
It turns out that this is the reason why Lion King uses Noble Council as his private residence - a place without God is the real blessed place...
"Okay, since you mentioned the king... if Anna's father appears in front of the king, how do you think Mrs. Anna should explain it?"
Li Ang asked calmly, "Besides, the child in her belly... I'm afraid it's not the king's, right?"
"What, do you think Ulrich will believe you?"
There was a hint of murderous intent in the prophet's eyes, but it was fleeting.
Of course Li Ang felt the killing intent.
This means that the child is indeed not the king's - it is impossible in the first place. Ulrich is already fifty years old and has been sick for so long. How could he be pregnant with a child by such a coincidence.
But Li Ang can also be sure that Three Prophets dare not do anything to himself, at least not now.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether His Majesty the King believes me or not. Anyway, I was just asked to ask... But it's not certain whether the king will doubt you because of this."
Li Ang said with a smile, "Also let me tell you a secret, Anna Princess has a brother."
Anna does have a brother - Inna. Although he is not a biological brother, Three Prophets definitely doesn't know the joints.
For Three Prophets, this means that Anna has more and more vulnerabilities and may cause more and more problems...
The prophet frowned and became silent, probably thinking about the consequences of this.
And Li Ang looked at the prophet dressed as a maid, and asked again, "Since you said that gods can't peek into this place... then, if I guess correctly, you won't get a response from Dark Goddess in Noble Council, right? In other words, you can't use witchcraft to deal with the king... and you can't resurrect with someone else's body!"
"What do you want to do?"
The prophet raised his head suddenly, his eyes showing deep alertness.
"I'm just reminding you that you only have one life now, so you'd better cherish it."
Li Ang looked out the window, raised his chin and motioned to the guards standing on the wall.
He was simply preventing the prophet from taking desperate risks.
If he takes action here, he will definitely not be able to defeat the prophetess without weapons...
"Lord Li Ang, actually, we have never provoked you, why do you have to go against us?"
The prophet seemed to have no intention of taking action, but there seemed to be a trace of regret in her expression when she looked at Li Ang.
"Confrontation?"
Li Ang laughed, "I'm helping you! If I didn't remind you, you probably haven't thought about Anna having so many family members, right? If I don't help you, you will be exposed sooner or later! I help you hide your identity, and you help me convince the king. Isn't this a fair deal?"
"Persuade the king...Li Ang, what if I am not happy? This is not a question of fairness...Li Ang, we do not want to be coerced by others!"
The prophet asked seriously.
"Don't want to be coerced? Then... what if King Ulrich dies?"
Li Ang didn't even move. "If he dies, not only will you get nothing, but you will also be accused of regicide by Anna's father. Are you willing to accept such a result?"
After saying that, Li Ang raised his hand and waved.
Following this wave, a cold light flashed, and two flying knives suddenly shot in from the window, spinning and piercing the fruit plate on the table - the fruit plate that the prophet had brought in before. An apple inside was cut in half by the rotating flying knives.
This is obviously a show off - two flying knives are shot at the same target, and have the effect of cutting off an apple. This technique is really terrifying.
It's worth the one hundred and twenty dinars a month...
Li Ang thinks.
"Scorpion Assassins?!"
This prophet obviously knows his stuff. "You want to kill the king?!"
Now, the prophet was indeed no longer calm.
"No, it's you who know how to kill the king... Scorpion Assassins But Dexian people, no one will believe that they are related to me, the marshal Lionheart Kingdom who just beat Desha into a mess, but it is very likely that they are related to you - you should understand what I mean, if you lose the king's protection, no one will trust you..."
"I just want to tell you that if you are willing to cooperate, then we can deal fairly. But if you are unwilling to cooperate with me, then I guarantee that you will become the regicide!"
Li Ang still crossed his legs and looked at the prophet. "By the way, I would like to remind you that the flying knife is poisonous, so you cannot eat this apple."
In fact, this is the way Li Ang really intends to use to coerce the princess.
At the time of Long River Town, Li Ang had already roughly judged the scope of application of Three Prophets's skin-changing witchcraft - this kind of skin-changing witchcraft should have many restrictions.
For example, it can only be used on true believers of Dark Goddess.
Because the way they peel the skin is to let the fanatics become Fallen One and peel off the skin themselves - otherwise, they will not get the complete human skin.
For another example, there may be some restrictions on where it can be used.
Because the fake Igor once tried to lure the king to Long River Town, this means that they cannot use this method in Lion City - otherwise, they can directly change their skins and pretend to be the king, or even replace all the nobles with their own people, without getting a princess at all.
However, Li Ang didn't know the reason at that time, but now we know that this place Noble Council can isolate the gods.
In other words, Three Prophets cannot let the king die at this time, otherwise all their plans will be ruined - the child is not born yet, and the child must become the king's heir before Ulrich can die.
But for Li Ang, if nothing like Amy happened, whether Ulrich died or not would not have much impact on him personally, and might even be of some benefit - he is the marshal of the kingdom, an important minister among the important ministers, and no matter who succeeds to the throne, he must show favor to him.
But now Ulrich really cannot die. After all, only the king can exonerate Amy.
But if the crime of Amy really cannot be solved, then...
Therefore, Li Ang came to Lion City this time with the original intention of using Ols's surname to meet the princess, and then threaten the princess with the king's life - of course, there was no need to actually threaten the king, just to let the princess know that she had the ability to kill the king.
This is also the reason why Scorpion Assassins was arranged to ambush Noble Council in advance.
After meeting Inna at the city gate, Li Ang tried it out, and finally got the opportunity to meet Three Prophets directly, avoiding a lot of uncertain factors - such as the king and the princess appearing together, which would be difficult to negotiate.
At this time, there were footsteps upstairs.
"Your Majesty and Mrs. Anna are coming... I promise to cooperate with you, but if you don't want to die, don't play tricks!"
The prophet glanced at Li Ang and began to quickly clear away the fruit plate on the table.
"Of course... what's your name? Or rather, what would you call your current body?"
Li Ang helped put away the two throwing knives and took a closer look at the prophet's appearance.
She is dressed in a very ordinary palace maid, but her appearance is still very beautiful. She has reddish brown hair and green eyes, which is very distinctive.
"My name is Cersi. Lord Li Ang, I will go find you."
The prophetess named Cersi put away the throwing knives on the fruit plate and carried the fruit plate out the door.
At this time, King Ulrich happened to go downstairs with his young and beautiful princess on his arm. He passed by Cersi, saw the fruit plate in Cersi's hand, and casually picked up half an apple...
Cersi was stunned, but couldn't remind him--What should I say about this? Say apples are poisonous?
Then why?
"Your Majesty, you can't eat this... that's what I left..."
But Li Ang responded quickly and gave a reason.
Ulrich glanced at Li Ang and threw away the piece of apple. "Li Ang, you should go to suppress the rebellion now instead of coming to my place for breakfast early in the morning!"
"Ahem... An important knight under my command has some identity issues... Sir Ols von Clancy, he begged me to ask for his help, if I can see The wanted order on him was lifted in the name of Mrs. Anna - he is a clansman of Mrs. Anna, but many years ago he became a wandering knight because of some injustices. Your Majesty, you know that this status is not suitable for suppressing rebellion..."
Li Ang smiled at Princess Anna, then nodded to King Ulrich and replied.
He didn't say anything more about Anna's father, but it seemed like he was fulfilling his promise to 'help the princess hide her identity'...
Anna Princess looked obviously relieved.
Cersi also quickly picked up the piece of poisonous apple and went downstairs.
"Wandering knights? Illegal knights, right... You really have everyone under your command..."
Ulrich was probably woken up before he had enough sleep, and he obviously didn't have breakfast. He didn't have the patience to ask about the specific situation, "Since his surname is Clancy, let Anna decide..."
"My family was wronged and ruined, and most of the clan members were scattered. Now that I can find my relatives, I should thank Lord Li Ang... Maybe I should sign a guarantee letter to Sir Ols..."
Mrs. Anna reacted quickly and bowed to Li Ang, which was a very appropriate response.
