Chapter 176 The first drop of blood
While the two were still trying to evade each other, Daniel rushed over in a hurry.

To make the Chief Knight Commander, who always pays attention to his image, flustered like this, it seems that something big must have happened.

"Your Highness! The Duke of Ashburn." Daniel wiped the cold sweat from his face, and looked at the Grand Duke Vandro standing aside with some scruples, hesitant to speak.He is the only one in all of Keller except Hecilia who knows the real situation of Ashburn.

Before Earl Ashburn's accident, he had a close relationship with the elusive Grand Duke Vandro.So even though he already had the title of "Hecilia's fiancé", Daniel still couldn't feel at ease about this young third elder of the blood family who was extremely suspicious.

When Cecilia heard Ashburn's name, her legs didn't hurt anymore, and her waist didn't hurt anymore. She grabbed Daniel's arm and was very anxious: "Is something wrong with my brother?"

Daniel was flattered to be grabbed by her arm, and his good professionalism allowed him to forcibly divert his attention from the pair of snow-white hands on his arm.Since Xicilia doesn't care if Vatican is present, Daniel is not worried: "Today, when my subordinates went to visit the Duke of Ashburn as usual, they found that the Duke hadn't moved at all, as if in a daze."

He didn't dare to say the next thing, and he couldn't say it.

Cecilia froze for a moment, stepped on the pointed high heels, and ran away holding the hem of her skirt.

Qi Zhi reacted the moment she ran out, and wanted to catch her, but Xicilia's speed was too fast, so he could only shout worriedly from behind: "Run slowly, don't sprain your ankle! "

As soon as the words fell, Xicilia became unsteady and swayed to the side fiercely. It seemed that she could hear the crisp "click" sound from her ankles from such a distance.

Fanzhuo took a deep breath for her, and said in amazement: "This little princess is quite fierce."

Qi Zhi frowned fiercely, and strode forward without saying a word, wanting to take a look at Xicilia's sprained ankle.

Unexpectedly, before he approached, Xicilia, who had been propped against the wall and could not move, suddenly bent down, took off her beautiful high-heeled shoes, flicked them to the side without hesitation, and limped forward run.

The light blue skirt fluttered, forming the most vivid and vivid picture scroll in the dark and gloomy corridor. Her figure disappeared at the corner of the corridor, like a bright flame, she plunged into it without hesitation. In the darkness of night, there is a soul-stirring shock and a sense of amazement that cannot be dissipated for a long time.

Qi Zhi picked up the pair of high-heeled shoes abandoned by the owner for her from behind, and after a few dodges, he caught up with the stumbling little girl in front, and picked her up in a standard princess hug.

Xicilia was very anxious, holding Qi Zhi's sleeves tightly with both hands: "Qi Zhi, brother."

"I know."

Qi Zhi comforted her in a low voice, walking like flying: "No matter how urgent things are in the future, take care of yourself first, and don't worry about the rest, I'm here."

Xicilia looked up at him. From this angle, she could see Qi Zhi's smooth jaw line, and her sexy protruding Adam's apple trembled slightly when she spoke. For some reason, it just gave people an inexplicable sense of security.

Her tense body slowly relaxed, and she gently rested her head on Qi Zhi's chest, listening to the powerful beating of the heart below, once, twice, three times.
She responded inaudibly: "Yes."

Qi Zhi's footsteps were fast, and after a while, the two arrived at the door of the secret room. The golden lock on the closed door of the secret room hadn't had time to be locked, which shows how panicked Daniel was when he left.

There was only the last flight of stairs left, Xicilia insisted on coming down by herself, Qi Zhi looked down at her, understood the stubbornness in her eyes, and slowly put her on the ground.

This will be the most difficult part of her journey, and she wants to finish it by herself.Qi Zhi knows that the little princess he holds in his hands has never been a fragile dodder, she will eventually grow up to be the queen of the entire Kelele step by step, he is willing to stick to her persistence, love her love, and protect her guardian.

This section of stairs is still as narrow and dark as ever, and you can't see your fingers.

The pure white soles of the feet stepped on the ground, stained with dust.Cecilia straightened her back, just like her brother taught her, as if she was going to a big dinner party.

Qi Zhi suddenly took a step forward, covered her eyes from behind, and whispered to her ear: "Do you remember what I just told you? No matter what happens, don't worry, take care of yourself first, I'm here. "

Cecilia nodded, and couldn't help but clenched the hem of his clothes.

"Good." Qi Zhi let go of his hand, lovingly stroked her long hair, and placed a very light kiss on the top of her soft hair: "Go."

The light below became dimmer, and Xicilia blinked her eyes, quickly adapting to the dark tone below.In the darkness, she saw a man bound to the wall. He knelt down on the ground, his arms were lifted high, his head was hanging low, and he didn't respond to the person coming. He was motionless. , too quiet.

This kind of silence made Cecilia even more uneasy, she would rather he suddenly rose up, screaming and piercing her skin with sharp nails.She approached slowly and called him softly: "Brother."

The man didn't respond at all.

Xicilia simply knelt down in front of him, and supported Ahiborn's head that was hanging weakly with both hands: "Brother, what's wrong with you, talk to me, I'm Xixi!"

Ashburn's eyelids were closed tightly, covering the gentle light green inside, his lips were pale and chapped, and even the fangs that protruded uncontrollably due to madness were retracted, he now looks like An ordinary human being who is comatose and weak, unable to respond to any external stimuli, as if dead.

With trembling hands, Cecilia held Ashbourn's head and slowly placed it on her shoulders, and her right fingertips rested on his exposed neck very slowly.

There was no movement, not a faint beating.

Suddenly the world seemed to shake, and Xicilia could hardly support her body.

is that a lie.

Great indignation and hatred suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart. Xicilia put down Ashbourne, lunged from the spot, and rushed to Fanzhuo who had just slowly followed them down the secret room, and stretched out her hand to hold Fanzhuo tightly. Zhuo's neckline pushed him hard against the wall behind him. The powerful impact left a huge human-shaped depression on the thick wall, causing the wall dust to fall down.
