What kind of weird button is this?

Chapter 35 That’s a smile of despair
  Li An was born in a civilian family.

Putting aside his past life, the only thing worth remembering is that by chance, he rescued a child who was later revealed to be a descendant of the royal family, and was rewarded with the opportunity to work as a groom in the palace.

But when it comes to life in the palace, he is actually walking on thin ice.

He no longer remembers the name of the child he saved before. After all, the other person never thought that there would be a savior like him in this world.

He had no other background or connections, so after many years in the palace he was just an ordinary groom, and no one cared about him.

But Lian discovered that not all of the royal family were aloof, indifferent and ignorant of the world. At least the existence of the second prince, Sirius, broke his previous stereotypes of all royal family members.

Traveling thousands of miles to Anka, just to help the people here, what kind of spirit is this?
  Moreover, Sirius had shown a very kind and almost equal attitude towards him from the beginning, which made Rian, who was used to those arrogant faces, feel particularly touched.

But the problem is that in his eyes, such a monarch who should and can become the hope of the future of the empire and lead them all forward has actually been plotted by the princess...

If he had known this earlier, he would never have let Sirius and the princess meet that day.

But now he feels that what he needs to do is not to expand his mistakes further.

While thinking about it, Lian wrapped Sirius in a quilt. Because he was afraid that too many people would come out and cause unnecessary suspicion, he could only choose to drive the carriage down the mountain alone.

Because the mountain road was too slippery and there was too much rain, he resolutely chose to abandon the carriage that was in the way, directly put Sirius on his back and ran towards the church. He didn't even notice that the rain stopped halfway.

Yes, he only wanted to find help now, and he felt that only people from the church were willing to help His Highness Sirius.

At least during this time, the church acted more like it was for the people of Ankh. The external image they displayed was far more reliable than that of Lord Luther, so if there was no other better choice, Ryan could only place his last straw on the church.

And it turned out that he should have made the right bet.

"What's going on?! Why is Your Highness Siris acting like this suddenly?"

In the prayer room behind the Anka Church, Bishop Calvin looked at Sirius, who was already pale and had no trace of blood on his lips. His tone was full of surprise and anger.

"Is this... megalithiasis?"

The so-called megalithiasis is a disease in which various organs of the body gradually become petrified. However, this disease generally does not appear in humans on its own. It is usually caused by taking special drugs, which is a petrifying liquid named Albest. , will cause the alienation reaction.

"Who gave him the petrifying liquid?!"

"..."

Lian frowned and subconsciously wanted to directly say the murderer's name, but he hesitated the next moment.

It was not because he wanted to protect the princess and wanted to defect at this moment, but because he was smart and realized in a flash that if Sirius could be saved at this moment, the premise of all this was that the murderer could not be exposed directly.

At least... you can't break your skin directly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Bishop. I don't know who changed the painkiller soup I prepared to send. I promise that I will investigate this matter clearly, and those who dare to murder the second prince will never be let go.

But now I ask the bishop to help His Highness the Second Prince..."    "This is natural. "

Seeing that Lian didn't seem to be lying, the bishop could only put aside the anger and doubts in his heart at this moment, and focus all his attention on curing Sirius.

Fortunately, his light healing magic can still have some effect. Although it is not that easy to eliminate the petrifying fluid in Sirius's body immediately, the warm light wrapped around Sirius' body can at least turn it into stone. The role of progress pause.

"Fortunately, the petrification did not reach important organs such as the heart and lungs, otherwise I might not be able to save them..."

Sweat began to form on Calvin's head. The continuous release of magic made him feel that the power of light in his body had been somewhat exhausted. Judging from the current situation, His Highness Siris would definitely die.

At this moment, the door of the prayer room was pushed open from the outside. Calvin had no intention of caring about who the visitor was. He only had eyes for releasing healing magic.

But the reaction of the other person next to him, Li An, was very different.

Because he discovered that the person who walked into the house was none other than the mastermind behind all this - Princess Nalia.

The flash of vigilance in his eyes did not escape Nalia's eyes, but she knew what all this was about in just a moment.

Nalia first removed the sword from her waist and handed it to the soldier behind her, as if to prove that she had no ill intentions towards Sirius.

Then she slowly walked to Sirius who was lying on the prayer table, frowned and asked:

"What's going on? Didn't he just suffer some trauma?"

"...Back to Your Royal Highness, Your Highness the Second Prince was poisoned by a mysterious person and is now suffering from megalithiasis. The Bishop is working hard to cure His Highness the Second Prince."

"Megalithiasis..."

Nalia raised her eyebrows, looking at the pale-faced fake Sirius, without much emotion in her heart.

She was not a Holy Mother and would not pity the miserable plight of a hostile person who participated in the murder of her brother. She did not add insult to injury, and it was the greatest kindness to feel happy when she saw the other person being abandoned by the eldest prince.

But the lack of sympathy does not mean that she is not angry.

From this incident, it can be seen that his subordinates have been bribed by the eldest prince or have been infiltrated by his people. And the other party even wanted to discredit her through such behavior, attributing the death of "Sirius" to her revenge.

After all, it was indeed possible for her to do it from a motive point of view. Everyone in the royal family had already recognized the ruling and confirmed that it was a complete fact that Sirius betrayed his brother, sister and the country.

Without the right to speak and no one to speak for him, it would be such a sad result.

Nalia thought again of Sirius's unstoppable laughter that day...

Perhaps, the ridicule was not just a self-deprecation of one's own fate, but a heartfelt disdain for their entire dirty and ugly royal family.
