Chapter 626: Chapter 211: The Arrival of the Thirteen Knights, An Invincible Lineup! (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Queen Catherine of Orlan stood under the spotlight in a luxurious and opulent court gown.
Her figure was voluptuous and radiant, jewels sparkled dazzlingly, exuding an overwhelming noble air.
It must be said that the queen’s presence was indeed full and commanding.
Catherine’s father, “The Golden Lion” Carlo, introduced her with great ceremony.
However, he only ntioned that this “Madam Catherine” ca from an ancient noble family with a long history, without disclosing her true identity.
OId noble families were innurable in the Federation.
The Orlan Dynasty had ruled for over two thousand years, burying various large and small ancient noble families in its history.
If soone suddenly rose to prominence, the surna of that noble family would once again enter the public eye.
Even many nouveau riches liked to explore their bloodlines, tying themselves to the na of so ancient nobility to highlight the legitimacy of their noble blood.
This was not unusual in the current upper class society of the Federation.
Thus, no one doubted the origins of this Lady Catherine.
Most assud she was Carlo’s lover.
Yet, watching this woman make her appearance, Leonard Churchill’s expression turned subtle.
This woman had so guts, using herself as bait.
The opponent clearly understood that a feud over matricide could not be shared under the heavens, Camilla would certainly seek revenge.
Having failed to kill her at Rose Manor had left him with a significant hidden danger.
Rather than continue to hide, it would be better to resolve this danger earlier and be at ease.
After all, Camilla had rged with the royal heritage’s “Diamond Q – White Queen” Epic Source Card.
Not to ntion the special significance this card held in the Royal Court, if she were allowed to grow, it would beco increasingly difficult to eliminate her in the future.
…
Leonard watched the “target” make her entrance and clapped along with the other guests.
However, he was covertly searching the crowd for Camilla.
Observing the two high-ranking individuals on stage, Leonard casually inquired, “Does your father have an affair with this Lady Catherine?”
Catherine Carter gave him a look, seemingly feeling the description was not quite fitting for high-ranking nobility, but she didn’t deny it either, saying, “Who knows? If so, it’s not surprising.”
The alliances within the nobility, aiming for stability, relied not only on mutual interests but also on a web of complex private lives and blood relations.
Leonard listened and laughed.
He didn’t care about the private lives of others.
He just wanted to see… what was the Lionheart Family’s attitude toward the “Thirteen Masked Knights”?
After all, that organization was no stranger to the top-tier nobility, but they also regarded it as a utilitarian “tool”.
Camilla was his friend, and Leonard’s stance naturally sided with his friend.
Catherine was also sharp. Hearing Leonard ask about this, she tilted her head and inquired curiously, “Are you interested in this?”
Without waiting for Leonard’s response, she had already guessed sothing, saying, “Even though he is my father, it doesn’t an it’s my stance.”
This kind of tacit understanding seed to form after they had faced life and death together.
Leonard listened and smiled without speaking.
Because at that mont, he felt a familiar cold aura sweeping through the entire banquet hall, and inwardly exclaid, “As expected, she’s here!”
At the sa ti, Catherine’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The next instant, the temperature in the originally warm and harmonious banquet hall plumted sharply!
In the air, visible frost started to form and fall.
The barely dressed ladies shivered with cold.
The guards also beca alert imdiately, drawing their swords and surveying the room.
“What’s going on? Why has it suddenly gotten so cold?”
“Such a strong killing intent, could there be an assassin?”
“…”
The guests also beca aware that sothing was amiss and began murmuring among themselves.
Leonard, however, had already chosen a safe corner with Catherine; now, seeing the incident unfold, they cleverly avoided the main battleground where a fight might break out.
On stage, Carlo and Catherine, heavily protected by guards, also had very composed expressions.
After all, they were the planners of this event.
In full view of everyone, under a huge crystal light, the chilly air rapidly condensed into a mass and then materialized into a human shape.
Upon closer inspection, it was a person clad in a black cloak, wearing a white background mask with special runes.
Behind her, there was also a phantom of an ice and snow Demon God wearing a crown.
Even without seeing her face clearly, Leonard knew it was Camilla from the Ice Ability.
This ability to transform into Elents was indeed quite convenient, allowing her to co and go as she pleased.
But seeing the runes on the mask, Catherine frowned and murmured softly, “The Exile.”
“???”
Leonard glanced at her questioningly.
This nickna was new to him; did it hold so deeper aning?
Catherine transmitted her voice, “I’ve seen so Top Secret Files. Two hundred years ago, during the Blood Mist Coup that brought down the Orlan Dynasty, there was a Knight among the Thirteen Knights who wore a mask with this pattern, codenad ‘The Exile’. It’s said… he was a major force in battle. That knight who wore this mask, in the coup, killed his way through several Orlan Royal Army legions alone.”
“…”
Leonard listened, also slightly astonished.
He had heard so details about the history of the Thirteen Knights from Reuel Bible, knowing that each mask seed to represent so special aning and heritage.
However, before he could ponder further, the battle comnced.
As soon as Camilla appeared, the surrounding guests fled in terror.
But the guards rushed forwards imdiately, trying to capture her.
However, the cold aura around Camilla seed like a no-go zone for living creatures, and as the armored guards drew near, the sounds of ice encapsulating them, “crack” and “crack,” could be heard.
