Chapter 409 Ceremony Day
In the dark prison, no one knew where the dirty bugs had gone.
A gust of cold air blew over, and the water droplets on the ceiling condensed into ice.
Cassius slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was still the familiar scene.
He wanted to move his hands and feet and warm his body, but the cold shackles were so strong that he couldn't even realize such a small wish.
"The weather is getting colder... Mr. Nobo, where are all the guards today?"
Outside the iron pillars, an old man suddenly appeared with an indifferent expression, looking towards the gloomy corner.
"Your Highness Cassius, today is the ceremony for His Highness Cross to inherit the throne. It is a great day for the whole country to celebrate. Most of the guards have gone to the cathedral."
Cassius had a blank expression on his face and spoke in an unusually calm tone, "Really? Congratulations to him. He must have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
Nobo raised his hand slightly, opened the cell door, and walked in slowly.
"Your Highness Cross has contributed so much to the kingdom. The work he usually does is also the work of His Majesty the King. Now he deserves the title."
Cassius sneered, "In that case, why did he send you here? He couldn't have sent me out to congratulate him, did he?"
Nobo's expression became increasingly ugly, but he was still joking with Cassius.
"It's no use letting you go. You probably won't even be able to see His Highness Cross. The only ones who can enter the cathedral today are His Highness Cross and the servants who carry the sacrificial supplies."
Cassius closed his eyes silently and lowered his head.
"Mr. Nobo is still too considerate of my face. Even if I meet him, I still can't do anything."
"I am no match for him. I can't avenge my sister."
"I am not even as good as an ant in front of him."
Seeing Cassius's decadent appearance, Nobo slowly sat down beside him.
"I have watched you and your sister grow up since you were young, and I know what you all yearn for.
Your Highness Cassius, you like adventure and want to be an adventurer like Mr. Ron, and obviously you have done it.
And Her Highness Shana wanted to gain His Highness Cross's approval, and she probably did it."
Cassius smiled and said, "Kross has been good at government affairs since he was young. He must have wanted to become a king when he grows up. Now, he has achieved it."
There was a meaningful look in Nobo's eyes, and he said softly: "Yes, he really has no regrets."
Cassius took a breath of cold air and refreshed himself.
"Mr. Nobo, he should be the one who asked you to kill me today, right?"
In response to Cassius' question, Nob nodded and looked at the ceiling covered with icicles.
"I did receive an order from His Highness Cross, and... it's probably the last order."
His voice gradually became quieter, and in the end, Cassius could not hear what the old gentleman said at all.
"what did you say?"
"It's nothing, Your Highness. It's really cold today..."
The hot air from the two people's mouths passed through the window, left the prison, and flew into the air.
Looking down, the city of Lairui is extremely bustling today.
In this country, the succession ceremony of a new king is far more important than any festival.
The already prosperous royal capital is even more prosperous than before.
Merchants from all countries gathered together, and various chambers of commerce competed with each other.
The capital city was completely transformed into a market.
Next to the Mirror Lake, the rebuilt cathedral is shining brightly.
Envoys and nobles from various countries sat around the lake, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Inside the hall, a beautiful maid was arranging Tartarus' clothes.
Michelle was still standing below, but this time there was Pesloson beside her.
"Master, today is the most critical day. It is best not to let too many strangers get close to you."
Michelle's reminder, as usual, did not receive a favorable response from Tartarus.
"Are you underestimating me Michelle?"
Michelle's heavy bending surprised Pesloson.
He almost thought the old guy's waist was about to break.
“Master, I always feel that things are going too smoothly, which is not a good thing.
What's more, the people I sent to monitor Miss near the space rift have not returned yet, and I'm worried that they are dead.
Maybe Miss has already arrived in Leri City, but we just haven't noticed it yet."
Ever since Michelle learned last time that Sayin not only helped Miss to hold back Peslosen, but also told Miss the location of the space rift, he has dared not let his guard down.
"Miss must have learned the truth and our plan from Sayin. We'd better be careful."
Tartarus snorted coldly, "I am the God King, the first man in history to surpass LV7, do you think I would be afraid of my own clone?
Michelle, you've been getting more and more timid lately.
You know, after absorbing some of Sein's divine power, you and Perselosen have become stronger."
He had been watching behind the scenes for a thousand years, and Michelle never seemed to be afraid of any of his other clones as much as he was afraid of Miss.
But Tartarus took all the credit for it.
After all, Miss was also transformed by his magic.
It is normal for one's servants to be afraid of oneself.
Little did he know that in the eyes of his servants, he was just a fool with great talent.
Michelle increasingly felt that her master was too conceited, to the point of being stupid.
He had been thinking recently that it was very likely that Tartarus fell into Avervanxon's trap because he was not very smart.
The so-called thousand-year gambling game is a gamble between you and my friends.
But if Tartarus had been smarter and less conceited, he wouldn't have been dragged into this gambling game.
Michelle wanted to list all the stupidity of his master in his heart.
But he overlooked a very important point, that is, he had never questioned Tartarus before, let alone secretly insulted him in his heart.
At this time, a priest came running to the door of the cathedral.
The priest leaned over to Michelle's ear and said, "It's bad, Archbishop. One of the outermost defense lines of the capital has been breached."
Michelle's heart tightened, "Did you see who it was?"
The priest replied, "It's Ricken and Arnold from the Higanbana guild."
"The [Higanbana] Guild? Miss is here after all!" Michelle told Tartarus about this matter.
Tartarus said with a nonchalant expression, "They have only just reached the outermost layer. Why don't you go and intercept them?"
Before Michelle could speak, Pesloson had already turned and left.
Tartarus looked at Michelle who was standing below without moving, and asked in confusion: "Why don't you go?"
Michelle frowned, "I feel that things are not that simple. Miss does things in a way that will not be easily discovered.
Are those two people in [Higanbana] deliberately trying to attract our attention?
In fact, Miss is not even on the periphery?"
Tartarus snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter if he is with me now. I will make sure he never returns."
As Michelle was driven out, in everyone's blind spot, a maid who looked nothing special quietly pulled down her fluffy skirt and disappeared into the shadows.
