Are you worthy of saving the world?
Page 277
"What happened!?"
The crowd of nobles exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, it's an assassin! Please don't leave me!"
Yuri's voice echoed in the huge venue.
In an instant, the noise, shouts, screams, and the sound of glasses falling to the ground merged into one.
At the same time, the figures who sneaked into the venue also began to take action.
The puppets with ball joints crawled towards him very flexibly, and their movements reminded Yuli of monsters in horror movies.
"Lord Ulysses!"
"let me!"
The Child of Prophecy put one arm around Celestia’s waist, protecting her to his side, and spread out his five fingers with the other hand.
"Fire of Calamity!"
In an instant, pitch-black flames shot out from Yuli's palm.
The flames wrapped in magical power passed through the venue in a straight line and finally exploded on the bodies of the puppet assassins.
With the sound of limbs breaking, the ball-jointed puppets were completely devoured by Yuri's fire.
"call……"
Yuli looked at the blazing fire and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the scene just now was very thrilling, the opponent's strength was unexpectedly very weak...
They are just a bunch of trash that even I can kill instantly.
These guys can’t possibly hurt Celestia, so I’m wasting my time—
"Lord Ulysses~?"
When he looked down, he found that Celestia was looking up at him with a crazy look on her face.
"…Uh, are you okay, Your Majesty?"
Yuli subconsciously wanted to let go of the Elf Queen, but found himself being held tightly by her and not letting go.
"I'm saved, thanks to you! Lord Ulysses! You protected me!"
Celestia took advantage of the chaos and buried her face in his chest.
"...?"
Something feels wrong.
Yuri looked around in astonishment. Everywhere he looked, there were nobles hiding behind shelters or lying under tables in panic.
After searching for a long time, I finally found Rosalia.
She sat on a chair in the corner, drinking red wine elegantly and calmly.
"..."
Yuli suddenly understood, as if he understood what was going on.
“I’m really impressed…”
Yuli turned to look at the Elf Queen beside him. The latter was still frightened, but after being glared at, she immediately stuck out her tongue playfully.
At this time, the door of the venue was kicked open, and Betty and the guards of the mansion finally arrived at the scene.
"Your Highness!"
"The assassin appeared, and it was Lord Ulysses who defeated the assassin—"
In the quiet meeting room, Rosalia's solemn declaration could be heard.
"The Child of Prophecy protected the Elf Queen."
As soon as he finished speaking, the nobles around him all looked at him with respect.
Although it happened in a split second, everyone of them saw it.
The whole process of the Child of Prophecy bravely blocking the damage for the Elf Queen and killing the assassin.
"You did well."
Rosalia walked up to Yuli, crossed her arms over her chest, and spoke condescendingly.
"I will ask His Majesty the Emperor to award you a commendation. Whether it's a title, a territory, or money, just tell me what reward you want."
"Lord Ulysses, thank you very much for protecting me. I also plan to give you a corresponding reward."
Celestia hugged his arm and said happily, "From now on, Ulysses Falchion is the hero of the Sacred Tree Kingdom."
Yuli trembled his mouth: "..."
The real purpose is revealed, right?
——Assassins don’t exist at all.
Those automata are probably inferior products made by Rosaria.
From the beginning, this social gathering was a stage set up by the Grand Duchess and the Elf Queen to help Yuri gain a reward.
Yuli once told the two of them implicitly: It would be great if the world could also know that you are my supporters.
At the same time, in their opinion, it was unfair that Yuri saved them time and time again in the singularity but did not receive any reward.
So they conspired to plan a botched assassination, which Yuri could easily crack with his rich practical experience.
In order to ensure that Yuli would steal the show, Rosalia not only deliberately evacuated the guards of the mansion, but also transferred her daughter who was also unaware of the situation.
It's really well-intentioned.
Yuli sighed: Although I am very happy that you two have this kind of heart, but isn't this too frivolous?
Just to give me a little reward, they made such a big fuss...
If I hadn't reacted in time, wouldn't something terrible have happened?
But this is also a manifestation of their belief in their own abilities... never mind.
"What's wrong, Lord Holy Son, are you unhappy?" Rosalia asked.
"No...not really."
Yuli moved closer and asked in a low voice: "Why did you hide this from me?"
Although Yuri was disgusted by this kind of politician-style acting, he would not refuse if Rosalia and Celeste asked him personally.
"We hid it from you... because we want to know who you would protect first, Lord Yuri."
Rosaria raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm sorry that you chose to pounce on Celestia...
If I were more pitiful, would my knight choose me?
"..."
Yuri was sweating profusely.
"I'm just kidding. That was the correct judgment. After all, Celes is my guest. It's amazing that you were able to react in that instant."
Rosalia showed a charming smile and raised her right arm: "I allow you to be the first man to kiss the back of my hand, Master Saint."
Yuli quickly lowered his head and, under the envious gazes of the Elf Queen and other nobles, kissed the back of the Grand Duchess's hand, which he had kissed countless times.
188 The Tsundere Loser Elf Princess
In this way, the "assassination attempt" on the Elf Queen ended in failure.
The social gathering that was supposed to last into the evening had to end early.
The nobles were all still in shock, but when they heard the Grand Duchess announce, "You can all go back first," they felt relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
When they left, the nobles were still excitedly talking about the heroic performance of Ulysses, the Son of Prophecy.
Ulyphis, who had only heard some rumors, now witnessed his performance with his own eyes.
The nobles praised him highly and their excitement was beyond words.
Of course, the nobles had no way of knowing that all this was just a show put on by Rosalia and Celestia in order to make their boyfriends famous.
Politicians are so dirty...
Yuli felt emotional.
Even though I have taken advantage of you, I have no right to say such things.
Rosalia symbolically told the nobles, "Please don't spread what happened today," but how could it not be spread?
I believe that after today, the story of the Son of Prophecy bravely protecting the Elf Queen will spread like wildfire in the Vatican, and his reputation will be further improved.
And just like that, the "assassination incident" came to an end, and Yuri and his beloved women returned to a peaceful life -
how is this possible.
The Elf Queen was attacked in a foreign country, and the aftermath of the incident alone was enough to shock the world.
That evening, after all the guests had left and the venue had shifted to the living room of the Grand Duke's residence,
"Mother!"
An elf girl walked into the room with quick steps.
The long silver hair is reminiscent of moonlight, the waist is equipped with a slender and graceful rapier, and the light blue military uniform exudes a stern and chic temperament.
Yuri knew the name of this elf with terrifying beauty.
Grantia, the second princess of the Holy Tree Kingdom.
Unlike Celestia, who has not yet appeared in "Apocalypse of the Goddess", this is an SSR character that has already been implemented in the game progress.
In the game's plot, Grantia is an elf princess with a proud personality.
She grew up in the Holy Tree Kingdom and was proud of being a descendant of the noble White Night Goddess.
But through reading she also learned that in the distant past, humans on the continent once sold elves as slaves, which led to their disgust and prejudice towards humans.
All in all, it's a racist high elf that's common in fantasy works.
