Conflict is imminent!

"Hey! Put it down! Put your weapon down right now!"

"Are you planning a life-or-death conflict with Letamonia?! They said they might release me after a while! Hurry and put down your gun!"

Seeing the situation change in an instant, Loris, who had been a little uncertain just now, hurried to Federico and urged him to put down his weapon.

He just wanted to rescue the child within his ability, but if he was arrested, it would be a problem whether he could protect himself, let alone rescue the child!

You know, Federico is now under the name of the Carabinieri!

If a fight really breaks out, he won't be able to run away!

He reached out and wanted to press Federico as he did before, but this time Loris was destined to be disappointed.

Federico dodged Loris with a sideways move and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Flames flashed at the muzzle of the gun and violent roars erupted in the ears, instantly calming the chaotic scene.

"I don't need to understand your position, let alone resolve the conflict between you."

The bullet hit the feet of the Golden Law Guard, stirring up a cloud of dust and causing the alert men to retreat quickly.

"Arturo is a wanted criminal in Lateran. I submitted an extradition request before coming here and received a response. Now... I will take her away from Letania and back to Lateran to face the trial she deserves."

"Federico, Executor of the Lateran Notary..."

"Fire the guns as a warning!"

There was no emotion in his eyes, and Federico looked like a robot.

The fact that Loris had put the gun down on him was just a decision made after careful consideration. It would be a joke if an executor could be easily put down by others.

"What are you doing!"

After hearing the gunshot, Brandt flashed over in an instant and stood in front of the Golden Law Guard, with the sword in his hand shining with golden light.

The golden rhythm music on the side seemed to be attracted and began to emit a faint faint sound.

However, he still had his sanity and did not attack immediately, but chose to inquire about the situation.

"Take the prisoner back. However, Arturo-chan... is also involved. According to the regulations, she should also be under our jurisdiction. After all, we still don't know her relationship with the remnants of the Witch King."

With their boss speaking up, several Golden Law Guards told the whole story in detail without any intention of hiding anything.

After listening, Brandt turned back to Federico and said, "We will take Arturo back for interrogation. If there is no problem, we will hand him over to you."

He thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be just like this?

As soon as Arturo's identity is revealed, it will be a matter of extradition to Lateran or execution on the spot. But this guy in front of me actually opened fire...

In an instant, Brandt had a completely new understanding of Federico.

I thought he was a good executor, but it turns out he is just a greenhorn, right?

If there are conflicts, we can talk about them!

You just shoot without even talking to each other. No matter how good the relationship is, you will ruin it!

Brent, who didn't know Federico's style of doing things, just thought that Federico was a rookie who was spoiled in Laterano.

Frowning at Federico, Brandt coughed twice and said loudly, "Arturo is too deeply involved. The Queen's celebration will be soon. We must identify all those who may pose a threat. If she is not involved, we will naturally notify you to come and collect her."

"It will take no more than two days, so be patient."

Federico was obviously not very satisfied after hearing Brandt's official answer.

Arturo's abilities are bizarre and changeable, and he has been responsible for many lives so far. He is not at ease if he really leaves her here. After all, not everyone is immune to Arturo's influence.

"I said, I don't need to understand..."

"Come and pick him up in two days."

But before he could finish his words, a voice that could not be refused interrupted him.

After hearing this voice, the Golden Law Guards present, including the distraught Loris, immediately straightened their backs and looked towards the source of the voice.

"His Majesty!"

Brant raised his hand to his forehead and saluted, then put his sword back into the scabbard.

His Majesty...?

Looking in the direction they were facing, Talina straightened her back unconsciously the moment she saw the black figure.

Hildegard...Black Emperor?

Why is she here?

It's just about arresting a small group of remnants, how could it attract this person's attention?

"Well done, the reward will be given out after we return."

Looking at the several black-robed men tied to the ground, Hildegard nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Federico.

"As for you...come pick him up in two days. My words should be effective, right?"

Although he spoke in a negotiating tone, no one present would think that His Majesty was discussing with Federico, including Federico himself.

But even so, Federico still did not give up.

"Her ability is very special. If she's not careful..."

"I'll lock her up in my tower, so you can rest assured, right?"

"Can..."

He nodded helplessly. The situation was stronger than him, so Federico had no choice but to agree.

Now he had no way to take Arturo away by force, and since Hildegard personally promised to take care of Arturo, he had no excuse to argue.

It's only two days, he can still wait.

After dealing with Federico, Hildegard turned her attention directly to the Golden Rule not far away.

Walking to the Golden Rule, Hildegard reached out and picked up the piece of music that represented the Fundamental Law of Leithnia and held it in her hand.

The Golden Rule, which had been so fierce in front of Talina and Viviana just now, was now like a docile sheep, not daring to act rashly.

"Viviana...good job."

Turning to look at Viviana, Hildegard nodded.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind..."

"I never do anything without a purpose. I see who does well and who does poorly. You deserve this reward."

"But before that, I think you should take a few days off..."

"Why?"

"Elector Wollner of Shitongling...passed away at home fifteen minutes ago. I just received the news. Sorry..."

Volume 8: Chapter 29: Special Golden Rhythm Movement

Hildegarde's words exploded in Viviana's mind like a loud bell, leaving her frozen in place.

Walter...dead?

My own father...is dead?

Since arriving in Leithania, she hadn't spent much time with Volna due to the unfamiliarity of their long separation. She had just arrived when the Queen summoned her to see Trilintelme. She even...

I didn't have time to call dad.

The slight discomfort in her heart also prevented her from speaking.

She originally thought that time might be able to solve everything. As long as time went on, the relationship between father and daughter would naturally become harmonious, and she wouldn't even need to take the initiative to say anything.

But who knows...

Everything stopped fifteen minutes ago.

She had a feeling of unreality in her heart, as if everything she was experiencing was an illusion.

Seeing the pitying looks from the people around her, Viviana quickly lowered her head.

Should she be sad now?

But why am I... just a little at a loss?

Her heart was beating as usual, with no different emotions due to the passing of Werner, but Viviana felt like choking up.

This feeling came from her heart, but she had been suppressing it.

"I...I'm sorry, Her Majesty Hildegard, we have to go back first."

Looking at Viviana standing there in a daze, Talina was a little flustered for a moment and hurriedly stood up to say goodbye to Hildegarde.

"Well, let's go back first. Volner is a close ally of Leithania. He deserves a grand funeral. The Queen's celebration will be announced to the nation afterward."

Hildegard nodded, agreeing with Talina's decision.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Hildegard's eyes suddenly showed a confused look, and the golden rhythm music held in her hand began to heat up slightly.

As if sensing the passing of its custodian, the Golden Rule movement played its own funeral music, a unique melody that only Hildegard could hear.

Is it really worth it for them to do this?

Twenty-three years...How many twenty-three years can we have in our lifetime?

They gave up their future and everything just to exchange for a stable life. Compared with the Witch King, who is stronger?

Can she... live up to this trust?

Standing there alone, watching the Golden Law Guards take the prisoners away one by one, Hildegard began to think.

Don't think as an emperor of a country, but as a human being...

A...real person!

.........

Loris arranged a car for Talina and the other girl to use as a reward for their silent support along the way.

This old guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Not only did he successfully bring Federico out, he even got some information.

However, Talina and Viviana were not interested in these matters at the moment, so he was tactful enough not to say anything.

The four of them parted ways outside the dense forest park. Talina took Viviana to the station, while Loris took Federico back to the gendarmerie.

On the way to the car, Talina didn't say anything. She just turned the dim lights in the car to the brightest so that she could observe Viviana's performance.

This was the first time she had encountered a situation where her parents had passed away, and she didn't know how to comfort Viviana.

Even though Russell keeps talking about retirement, his physical condition means he can live for at least 50 years. Talina estimates that when she has a granddaughter, Russell will still be able to help take care of her.

As for her biological parents...

If they died she would just clap and cheer, maybe even fire a whip to celebrate.

So she couldn't offer any proper comfort.

Fortunately, Viviana's mood was relatively stable, so she didn't need to coax her specially. Her eyes were just a little red, and she didn't talk much. She looked no different from usual.

After picking up Maria at the station, the two headed straight to their current residence.

No one spoke along the way. Even Maria, who was cheerful and outgoing, noticed that the atmosphere was wrong. She just looked out the window and didn't speak.

After returning home, Viviana took the initiative to go into her room. Talina had good ears and heard the sound of the door being locked.

So she could only sit in the living room with Maria, staring at each other.

"Ms. Viviana...what happened?"

Only then did Maria dare to ask.

"Well... Mr. Walter passed away. It might be hard for her to accept..."

Playing with her fingers, Talina told Maria what happened today.

"That's it..."

Maria nodded, and she understood the reason.

But it’s just limited to understanding.

Because she didn't know how to comfort Viviana.
