171 Wake Up

"What?"

Elena's face was instantly panicked. She hurriedly pulled out a dusty sword from the cabinet on the side, opened the door and rushed out of the palace to find her father and brother.

"Princess, princess, where are you going?" The maid followed behind her and chased her in panic. "There are soldiers outside the palace gate. Get out of the underground secret passage!"

"No, I won't leave!" Yelena said with a look of fear and hesitation on her face, "I'm going to help my father fight!"

"As long as we hold on to the palace, other nobles will definitely raise troops to rescue us..." Yelena said, her expression gradually becoming determined.

"it's useless!"

Vera, the personal maid, has accompanied Yelena in reading and literacy since she was a child, and learned various aristocratic skills. When the princess gets married, she will be promoted to a court lady as a dowry to help her handle various palace affairs...

Therefore, Vera knew very well the situation of all forces outside the kingdom. She grabbed the impulsive Yelena and said loudly:

"The Temple of War is so powerful that it has destroyed so many kingdoms in the past few decades! Our Norman royal family has been weak for too long, and I am afraid that we cannot survive today..."

"Princess, you should hurry up and escape from the secret passage of the palace with me!" After Vera said that, she pulled Yelena and ran towards the secret passage.

"No, I don't want it!" Yelena struggled hard and wanted to drag Vera out of the palace door.

"Kill!"

"kill!"

"Guard the kingdom and kill those who rebel!"

"For the glory of the Norman Kingdom!"

"Kill, for the God of War, clear everything!"

"The God of War charges and sweeps away all the corrupt forces in the world!"

As Yelena and the maid struggled, they gradually came to the palace gate. At this time, the frantic shouting and killing outside the door continued.

"Yelena!"

Just as the two were entangled, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Yelena. Yelena froze and slowly turned around, only to find her mother standing behind her with a group of guardian knights, looking at her with disappointment. Holding her.

"queen!"

When Vera heard the sound, she immediately let go of Yelena and turned back to bow to the queen.

The queen was not wearing aristocratic clothes, but was dressed in a white priest's outfit. She did not respond after hearing Vera's greeting, and still stared at Yelena coldly, with no trace of panic in the face of war:

"Yelena, you disappoint me so much!"

Facing the scolding, Yelena was not afraid at all, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Her mother, the Norman Queen, was not from a traditional noble background, but was a female priest from the Temple of Love. She spent most of her time praying in the temple and did not live with her often.

At the critical moment, Yelena was very surprised when she saw her mother appear. She grabbed her mother's hand and rushed out of the palace door: "Mom, you came just in time. Come with me to save your father and brother." !”

"Hey, it's too late..."

The queen's voice suddenly became very ethereal, filled with a martyrdom-like tone.

When Yelena heard the queen's voice, she suddenly felt a terrifying foreboding in her heart.

The queen sighed, then turned to look at Yelena's personal maid and asked:

"Vera, I have a task for you! Are you willing to pretend to be a princess and escape to attract the attention of the pursuers, and cover Yelena to leave secretly?"

When the maid Vera heard this, she knelt down on one knee without hesitation and swore loudly: "This is my mission! Queen."

"Yelena, what are you waiting for? Quickly take off your clothes and put them on with Vera!" Seeing that Yelena was still stunned in fear, the queen immediately shouted loudly.

When they followed them without giving Yelena any objection, they forced Yelena to change her clothes.

"Queen and princess, take care of yourself!"

After Vera put on Yelena's princess costume, she directly covered her head with a white gauze. Finally, she whispered goodbye to the queen and princess, and then led a group of guardian knights to rush towards the secret passage of the palace.

"Yelena, it's your turn now, come with me!"

"Mother, I don't want it!"

"Yelena, you are too willful!"

The queen scolded, and as soon as she pulled Yelena aside, the door of the palace was broken open from the outside with a "bang", and a group of crazy knights rushed in.

"Damn it, it's too late..."

Seeing the cavalry breaking through the door, the queen instantly pulled Yelena behind the wall, suddenly took a ruby ​​​​and jade pendant blessed by the God of Love from her neck, and put it directly on Yelena's head.

"Yelena, live well and don't take revenge for us..."

After the queen finished speaking, she suddenly tore open a space teleportation scroll and quickly pressed down on Yelena while her daughter was not paying attention.

"no, do not want!"

Yelena seemed to realize something. She grabbed her mother with both hands in front of her body a few times, and then she couldn't help but let out a cry of horror:

"Mom, hurry! Come with me..."

Unfortunately, the teleportation scroll has been activated, and all Yelena's actions are in vain.

Then, at the last moment when Yelena's figure faded and she was about to enter the teleportation, she desperately discovered that her mother's body suddenly ignited with raging flames, and she frantically rushed towards the group of attacking cavalry.

"No--"

On a stone bed against the wall, Yelena, who was originally lying on the cloth strip snatched by the black dragon, suddenly woke up from the nightmare with a scream.

Huh, uh, uh...

She clutched her violently beating chest and gasped for air.

"Mother……"

Then he took out his mother's relics from his arms, touched the heart-shaped ruby ​​pendant, and cried silently while calling softly.

"Gurgling, gurgling, beeping..."

At this time, there were sudden bursts of strange calls in the darkness.

"who is it!"

Hearing the violent noise in the darkness, frightened Yelena quickly wiped away her tears and quietly got up to watch.

She walked in the dark for a while in fear, and soon discovered in the light of the cross that the sound was coming from the strange black dragon in its deep sleep.

Her face twitched for a while, and her eyes were extremely confused. Normally, the abdomen of all creatures is a relatively weak point on their bodies.

What she really couldn't understand was why the black dragon was lying on the ground with its belly upturned, its vitals exposed...

Finding that the black dragon was still asleep and not awake, she walked carefully in the dragon's nest for a while, stepped over the black dragon's tail blocking the road, and quietly ran to the entrance of the cave to check the situation.

At this time, it was still dark. Yelena was squatting at the entrance of the cave and was blown by the cold wind outside. She suddenly trembled all over.

"Awwww..."

Then, the howls of various wild beasts came from the dark night, which frightened her even more and kept retreating into the cave.
