"Geminia Sehne versus Annerose!"
Annerose looked at Geminia Sehne in front of her.
"I've seen through your moves! I will never lose to you!"
"Is that so?" Geminia Sehne said expressionlessly.
"Match start!"
Geminia Sehne waited in place for Annerose to attack.
"I just need to limit your speed!"
Annerose launched a lightning-fast surprise attack.
Her first attack was easily dodged by her opponent.
"Keep attacking him, don't give him a chance to counter!" Annerose thought to herself.
Annerose swung her sword three times in quick succession, but all were dodged.
"A opening!!"
Annerose seized the opportunity and slashed with her sword.
Her attack was blocked by Geminia Sehne's sword.
"It's not over yet!"
She continued to attack with extreme speed.
This attack landed on Geminia Sehne's body.
Annerose noticed something was off; it didn't feel like she had hit a person.
"That was an afterimage!"
Geminia Sehne suddenly appeared behind Annerose and whispered.
Before Annerose could turn to defend, she was sent flying by a sword strike from Geminia Sehne.
"His speed is even faster than I imagined! What should I do, what should I do now!"
Annerose was currently in mid-air, unable to make any other moves.
Geminia Sehne arrived above Annerose even faster than she was sent flying, and swung her sword down.
Annerose crashed heavily onto the ground.
As the smoke cleared, Annerose stood up.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"If that last blow had carried magic, I would already be dead!"
"Geminia Sehne, I have to admit, you are very strong; both your speed and strength surpass mine!"
At this moment, Annerose dared not advance rashly, gripping her sword, ready to counter.
She couldn't keep up with her opponent's speed, so the best method now was to wait for an attack and counter in that instant.
Geminia Sehne vanished from her spot.
She suddenly appeared behind Annerose.
"Here!"
Annerose released her magic, concentrating it into this strike.
However, Geminia Sehne stopped at this crucial moment.
Annerose watched her sword swing past, but Geminia Sehne in front of her was completely unharmed.
The attack passed right in front of Geminia Sehne, just grazing her, perfectly dodged.
"So it was me who was seen through; he had anticipated my thoughts long ago! What incredible distance control, I lost!"
In that instant, Annerose had many thoughts.
The next second, Geminia Sehne's Magic Sword tapped her on the head.
Annerose fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Winner! Geminia Sehne!"
With the referee's declaration, the battle ended.
In the next match, Claire also easily defeated her opponent.
At this time, the King of Midgar Kingdom was on his way.
The King of Oriana Kingdom and Princess Rose were also on their way.
"Father, why must we attend the Martial Heart Festival!" Princess Rose asked.
"I need to prove to the King of Midgar that the Oriana Kingdom is well! To keep our country stable, we need the support of the Midgar Kingdom!"
At this time, Princess Alice had already woken up.
She sat in the hospital room, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Claire had not left any injuries on her; she had simply fainted from magic exhaustion.
She was Princess Alice of the Midgar Kingdom, once hailed as a genius, always the most outstanding person in everyone's eyes.
Claire's defeat of her had completely broken her.
Claire was just a talented person, and merely the daughter of a baron.
But through her own efforts, her strength had actually surpassed her.
Alice found it somewhat unacceptable.
Feeling a sharp pain in her chest.
Alice looked down and saw that the Demon Possession had reappeared.
At this moment, Milia came to Alice's hospital room.
"Milia..."
"I know what you want to ask! You want to ask why the Demon Possession has reappeared, don't you?"
"It's well known that Demon Possession is a terminal illness! You didn't think it could be cured so quickly, did you? The only one who can truly cure it is my master!"
"Now, if you want to cure your Demon Possession, the price has changed! You will have to be a slave!"
"This is the price of your last negotiation!"
"I..."
"Oh, and I'll tell you a piece of news: The Order plans to ambush your father on his way here! If you hurry now, you might still make it!"
"How do you know!"
Alice still wanted to ask something, but Milia disappeared directly.
Alice immediately dressed and rushed alone to rescue her father.
At this time, the King of Midgar, with his hundred Royal Guard Magic Swordsmen, was on the main road of the Royal Capital.
The road was quiet, with no one around, which was unusual for the Royal Capital.
Suddenly, a musket shot rang out.
The attack was blocked by a guard.
"Enemy attack! Protect His Majesty!"
All the Magic Swordsmen surrounded the King of Midgar's carriage!
At this moment, soldiers dressed in Oriana attire emerged from nearby rooftops.
Hundreds of soldiers fired their muskets simultaneously.
But all the attacks were blocked by the Magic Swordsmen's swords.
Then, a large number of black-clad figures with covered faces appeared.
They were The Order's soldiers.
The two sides instantly clashed.
The King of Midgar looked at those people and already guessed it was a trick by The Order.
Beta, with fifty Shadow Garden members, observed from the shadows.
They would intervene if necessary.
If the King of Midgar died here, the Midgar Kingdom would surely fall into chaos.
Such a situation was something Shadow Garden did not want to see.
The Order also did not intend to kill the King of Midgar.
Killing all these Royal Guards would suffice.
Their goal was merely to instigate war between the two nations.
The Order's soldiers were numerous, and among them were five first-class Children of Diabolos.
Although the Royal Guard Magic Swordsmen were all very strong, their opponents were numerous and had many strong individuals.
Blues, wearing a mask, charged into the crowd!
Each of his attacks killed a Magic Swordsman.
He was a minor cadre of The Order, serving as a marquis in the Midgar Kingdom.
Marquis Blues felt that his subordinates were too incompetent, and dragging on for too long was not good; this was the Royal Capital, so he had to personally enter the fray.
At this moment, Alice suddenly burst forth, unleashing sword energy filled with magic, instantly slaying many people.
"It's Her Highness Alice! Reinforcements have arrived!"
Alice's appearance greatly boosted the morale of the Magic Swordsmen.
Marquis Blues did not think he could take down Princess Alice in a short time.
These Order members were his own people, and they couldn't all die here.
"Retreat!"
"Don't think of escaping! You escort His Majesty away, I will pursue them!"
Alice gave chase.
"Sigh! Once it involves the country and her father, Alice really can't keep her composure!" Beta sighed.
Beta told the other Shadow Garden members to continue following, while she pursued herself.
Princess Alice also could not die; as an heir, her death would cause great turmoil in the country.
It was better for the Midgar Kingdom, as Shadow Garden's base, to remain stable.
