Chapter 16 Break into the Council Chamber

After all this time, the maid sent over by Saru finally spoke up. Her name was Maga and she always stood behind Artemis without saying a word before, looking dull. Artemis wondered if all the people here were like this or if she was the only one who was special.

"His Majesty has commanded that you cannot go out." Maga tried to stop Artemis who was preparing to cross the bridge.

Artemis did not put her block in her eyes. Her eyes winked and the shoes on her feet were deliberately dropped on the ground, she ordered, "You pick them up for me."

Maga obeyed her order, and as she bent down to pick up shoes, a smile flashed in Artemis' eyes. Maga looked up only to see Artemis quickly turned around with a wide skirt and walked towards the small bridge.

She had just crossed the small bridge, she ran into Lore, whom she hadn't seen in a while, followed by a group of soldiers who surrounded the exit.

Both did not speak, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

With Maga's shouts behind her and the soldiers blocking the road in front of her, Artemis' eyes sank and she suddenly drew the sword at Lore's waist, then held it against his neck and said, "Get out of my way, all of you, or I'll kill him."

Artemis' purple eyes were filled with determination and seriousness, and no one present doubted the words that came out of her mouth, because she would really do it to kill Lore.

She held Lore as the hostage and walked out. When she was out of sight of these people, Artemis released her grip, but did not return the sword in her hand to him.

Lore looked at her with a complicated expression, with guilt and a hint of fascination, and he said, "He is in the council chamber."

Artemis gave a start, knowing that he was talking about Saru, nodded her thanks and left with the sword in hand, heading in the direction of the council chamber with a vengeance.

The soldier and Maga also rushed over and tried to go after Artemis, but they were stopped by Lore. After the soldiers were ordered to retreat, Maga suddenly said, "I never thought that the captain of the guard would be held as a hostage by a woman, what would happen if His Majesty knew about it?"

This time, Maga changed the previous mute, her eyes were cunning and dynamic, the change of eyes made her ordinary face more radiant

Lore obviously already knew her true nature, and after giving her a warning glance, said, "It's none of your business, and you'd better leave her alone." After saying that, he went after Artemis.

Maga stomped her foot with an embarrassed face, looked at Lore's back and gritted her teeth, "Ungrateful wretch."

When the guards at the entrance of the council chamber saw the woman walking with a sword in the distance, they could not help but grip the lance in their hands, as if a thousand horses were coming from the opposite side.

No wonder they made a fuss, but Artemis was too fierce with the sword, her face was cold, and her purple eyes were cruel and desperate.

But they who had made defensive moves did not block the young girl when she did come up to them, instead they gave her the way. Artemis frowned, it was better that they did not block the way, otherwise it would take some effort.

She walked up to the council chamber and kicked the door open. Just then she hear the man inside say, "Your Majesty, I suggest that all the men of the Mandorla be sent to the mines as slaves and the women to the barracks as military prostitutes."

Just as Cook finished speaking, he heard a loud bang, and everyone looked at the petite woman standing in the doorway and exclaimed in their hearts, "Who is this woman? How dare she break into the council chamber in front of her majesty!"

The crowd was terrified and looked collectively at the man sitting on the throne, but they found that the man was not only not angry, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
