Chapter 235 Assassination

What is this for?

Dorado felt that Helia was simply incomprehensible. He and Giselwell did not vote against it. Why didn't she recruit such a good talent into the Knights Templar?

But Helia gave a reasonable reason, and no one else could say anything.

Until Yekas, the scores of those in the middle were at the bottom, and since they had no special talents, it was normal for them to be eliminated.

But Yekas, a magician who masters team-enhancing magic, has acceptable scores in all three tests and is a practical and decent person.

And judging from his performance yesterday, Helia obviously liked him. After all, he was brave enough and had a good character, so there was no reason for her not to marry him.

But whatever Helia wanted, whether it was a person or something else, there would always be someone who wouldn't let her get what she wanted.

Varosinger exercised his one of the few veto powers, and the reason he gave was that it was disrespectful and lacked awe for the royal family.

This is still the reason Helia often uses.

"May I ask? How did he disrespect the royal family? What kind of lame excuse are you giving?" Helia almost rolled her eyes.

"I think what he said to you yesterday was very offensive and disrespectful to the royal family," Varosinger replied.

"Is what he said more disrespectful than what you and Dorodo said? You did it on purpose." Helia was simply impressed by these guys who lied with their eyes open.

"How can your Highness slander me like this?" Varosinger pretended to be hurt. "I am sincerely thinking about your Highness. It's fine if your Highness doesn't agree with my idea, but why do you still slander me?"

Helia:?

May I ask?

What are you pretending for? What the hell are you pretending for?

Do you think that because Claude scolded me, you are superior to me? Does that mean you are right?

Ide felt that Helia had suffered enough to sit between these two pigs and watch the game for three days, and she could even resist beating them and only fight back with words? !

If you don't beat him up, will you let him go home for the New Year? ? ?

But I can't bear it at all, and I don't need to bear it.

"Helia" just threw a punch, without any thought of respecting the old and loving the young, and her punch was so fast and hard that no one present could react.

Valosinger was beaten so hard that a tooth flew out, but he obviously hadn't come to his senses yet and was still in shock. He tilted his head and let the blood flow out of his mouth.

He totally didn't understand and couldn't comprehend why he was suddenly beaten while sitting here peacefully.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. "Helia" threw another punch at him, hitting him right in the eye. He screamed and fell off the chair, covering his face. The sound of the punch scared the others around him so much that they quickly dodged, fearing that they would be beaten too.

"Your Highness Helia, what are you doing!!!" Giselwell witnessed the entire process of "Helia"'s sudden attack, his eyes almost popped out, and for a moment he forgot to stop her.

"I think his words were harsh and offensive to me. This is disrespectful to the royal family. What's wrong with me punching him a few times?" "Helia" responded directly with the same words.

She even disliked the dirty face of Valosinger, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands vigorously in disgust.

Yekas looked up at the chaotic refereeing booth, feeling somewhat bewildered. He didn't know what to do now. Should he wait there, stay to watch the excitement, or leave first to avoid being affected by the anger...

I don't understand, but I feel inexplicably happy watching these nobles fighting each other over where they are going.

"Your Highness Helia, according to the law, even if you are a princess of the empire, you will be punished if you openly injure someone!" Dorado said excitedly.

Good! Good! He finally caught me! I want to see what else you can say in defense!

"I gave you too much face, didn't I?" "Helia" kicked away Varosinger who was blocking the way, and swung her fist to hit Dorado in the face.

But his bear-like physique was there. Ide only imitated Helia's appearance, but did not inherit her body that was strengthened after eating the dragon's heart.

So Dorado dodged the attack by turning his head slightly, and even grabbed Helia's wrist with his backhand to prevent her from hitting him again.

"Your Highness Helia, what do you mean by this? Are you going to openly become an enemy of the Magic Association?!"

Dorado felt that Helia was really a little crazy. With so many people watching here, she actually dared to do this. Wasn't she afraid that others would drown her with a little spit?

And with her small body, who can she beat?

What dragon-slayer knight? She is really stealing the credit for someone else's work. With her chicken-like body, who would believe that she can kill a dragon?

"If you offend the royal family, you will be punished by death, and you will not be able to escape punishment even if you are alive."

"Helia" is not a fool either, she is a magician, and she is good at not close combat but the unpredictable magic!

"Helia" was being pulled and couldn't pull her hand away, so she took advantage of the situation, placed the tip of her wand against Dorodo's chest, and began to chant a spell.

Of course Dorodo knew that she was an extremely destructive fire magician. If she really cast magic at such a close distance, he would be dead.

So he immediately let go of Helia's hand, stepped back quickly, drew the long sword at his waist, and pointed the tip of the sword at Helia.

At this moment, Ansel and Damian drew their swords at the same time, rushed over at an extremely fast speed, guarded in front of "Helia", and shouted loudly:

"Dorodo intends to assassinate Princess Helia. Protect Her Highness!"

Dorado:?

No? I committed assassination? I committed assassination??? !!!

Are your eyes fucking growing on top of your head? Wasn't it your princess who started it first? How did it become like I was the assassin? I was clearly protecting myself!

The water mirror used for broadcasting at the referee's booth had been destroyed long ago. No one knew who had done it. So now, neither the contestants nor the audience knew what had happened at the referee's booth. They only knew that it seemed that Princess Helia had had an argument with someone again.

But the howls of Ansel and Damian were actually heard throughout the entire stadium through the magic sound amplification props.

When everyone heard this, they all took a deep breath. As early as a few days ago during the selection test, they had seen Dorado and Helia, who represented the Magic Association, arguing and arguing many times.

But Dorodo was constrained by Helia's status and position, and finally compromised.

Has he reached the point of no return, become so angry and mad that he wants to kill Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Oh my god! He is really reckless! An open assassination! Is he trying to play a head-to-head match game?

When Carlisle heard the word "assassination", he immediately gathered his men and ran towards the referee's seat.

Not to mention what he thought about Helia's proposal, but if something really went wrong with Her Highness Helia, even ten lives of his wouldn't be enough to compensate!

"Defend Her Royal Highness the Princess to the death!"

The other people in the referee's booth also understood the situation at this moment and began to take sides, but it was obvious that the people behind "Helia" were the most.

Even Gisevere, the fence-sitter, stood on Helia's side, looking at Dorado with a look of deep sorrow and denouncing his treason.

This face changed so quickly.

Although Dorado was not smart enough, he was not stupid either. He now realized Helia's plan.

It was not a brilliant plan, and it could even be said to be full of mistakes and extremely lame, but the effect was surprisingly good, and it forced him onto the path of so-called "murdering the royal family."

The people below are not clear about the situation, but the people in the referee's seat know it very clearly from beginning to end, but so what?

The fact that "Helia" dared to attack Valosinger and Dorodo in front of them showed that she had the confidence to bear the consequences. If they chose to tell the truth, how many people would believe it? And could they bear the consequences of being pissed off by Helia?

So, they either choose to turn a blind eye or choose to distort the truth.

"Helia"'s target from the beginning to the end was not Valosinger, an old dog who betrayed the royal family. Claude had plenty of ways to deal with him.

From the very beginning, the person she had to deal with was Dorado who represented the Magic Association.

Regardless of the process, from the moment Dorado pointed the tip of his sword at "Helia", the crime of assassination was pinned on his head.

After Dorado figured everything out, he also realized his own fate: he could not escape death.

Helia was determined to kill him and use him as an excuse to attack the Magic Association. This showed that she was not going to maintain the superficial peace and was really going to tear each other apart.

As a princess, she is really... totally incompetent.

Obviously, she should be a pawn used to maintain stability. When she reaches a certain age, she should be sent out as a bargaining chip for marriage and to maintain friendly cooperation between countries. But now she has become a disaster star that stirs up trouble everywhere and causes endless chaos.

I wonder what Claude is thinking now. Will he regret his decision to let Helia go three years ago?

"Helia, do you know that what you are doing now is declaring war on the Magic Association and the magic families?" Dorado still did not put down the sword in his hand, but was still trying to pull himself out of this inevitable death.

Whether it is for the royal family, the Magic Association or the magic family, his death is not a pity.

But the position he occupies at the moment is a very critical piece, an extremely important piece that can easily stir up the situation and overturn the current peace.

Taking action against him would mean declaring war on the Magic Association and the magic families, and representing that the royal family has decided not to tolerate their encroachment any longer.

The Magic Association and the magic families will not sit idly by and wait for the royal family to attack them. They will definitely fight back, and the situation will become really chaotic.

But what good would this do Helia?

He still couldn't understand why Helia wanted to attack him. Was it just because of the words he said to her a few days ago?

If that were the case, Dorado would be really depressed.

"Oh, that's not the case~" "Helia" put away her wand with a smile, put her hands behind her back, and looked at Dorodo, who was almost alone at the moment, through the people who were guarding her in front of her.

She reached out and pointed at him from a distance, "You were the first to disrespect the royal family, and you provoked me with many words. You didn't take me seriously, and in a fit of rage, you even drew your sword against me."

"It was you who started the war between the royal family and the Magic Association, not me."

"I just fought back out of self-protection."

Helia turned to look at the others who couldn't hide their fear, her eyes swept over them one by one, and she uttered threatening words with a smile: "You are all witnesses, you can all testify for me, right?"

The others looked at each other, then at the Knights who had surrounded the entire referee's seat. After some deliberation, they could only lie against their conscience.

Even though they were not on Helia's side from the beginning, under the current circumstances, if they resisted they would die, and they would also be accused of assassinating the royal family, and in the end they might not even be able to protect their families.

"We will protect Her Royal Highness the Princess to the death!" they said in unison.

After dealing with the others, "Helia" raised her chin and nodded at Varosinger, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead and silent. Ansel simply pulled him up by the arm, bent his hands behind his back, and pressed his knees hard on his back, forcing him to kneel down.

"Varosinger, you made a wrong move." "Helia" said with a hint of regret, "I have a good relationship with Knight Chico. I was going to turn a blind eye to it for his sake."

"But why are you so ignorant that you have to contradict me again and again? Don't you know that I have a bad temper?"

"Your Highness! I am the Grand Duke, I have made great contributions, and I have a special friendship with His Majesty Claude! Aren't you afraid that His Majesty Claude will blame you for doing this?"

At this moment, Valosinger remembered Claude and wanted to use Claude to pressure Helia.

It's ridiculous.

"Huh? You guys are so funny. Why do you think I'm afraid of my father?" "Helia" was amused and looked at Varosinger and Dorodo in surprise.

"I am my father's daughter. Even if I did something wrong, I would just be scolded."

"Besides, I am very capable now, and my father is counting on me to do things for him. Whether from the perspective of interests or emotions, my father will not blame me."

"You made a wrong calculation, idiot."

Anyone who knows a little about Helia and Claude can probably guess the relationship between them.

Not to mention that Ide has spies in the palace. He is well aware of the relationship between Claude and Helia. They are father and daughter, but more than just father and daughter. They are more like monarch and subject, and collaborators with common interests.

However, what Ide wants to do today is bound to affect Claude's interests and the interests of the empire. She will definitely be punished this time.

But it didn't matter. He would run away anyway. Everything he did would be attributed to Helia in the end. He just needed to watch the show behind the scenes.

"Besides, do you think I'm targeting you just because you refuted my words?" Helia said with a smile, "The reason I'm here is entirely because of my father's wishes."

After saying that, "Helia" signaled Ansel to throw the man aside and let the fool figure it out slowly. He fell into panic little by little, counting his last days on his fingers.

Ah! He loved this kind of drama the most, and he also loved the frantic struggle of these dying people before the guillotine fell!

As for Dorado...

Helia pushed aside the person blocking her and took a few steps forward until the tip of the other person's sword was about to touch her heart.

The more Dorado retreated, the more she advanced risking her life, until the other party had no way to retreat.

She didn't want to say anything more to Dorado at this moment. The situation was already a foregone conclusion, and any extra words would not change either of their minds.

She opened her thin lips and slowly spoke out the final verdict -

"Dorodo, one of the elders of the Magic Association, attempted to assassinate the princess of the empire. He repeatedly disrespected the royal family and was shot dead on the spot to show the majesty of the royal family."
