Skretil's Ignorance Walker

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Although it was almost December, the temperature in Waluka Territory seemed to be very suitable and not particularly cold.

Led by the servant, Lina came to her brother Lance's room.

As soon as she entered the room, Lina saw many weapons hanging on the walls of the room, including magic swords, scimitars, and others. Although it was not strange to have some weapons as decoration in a room, there were too many weapons in this room. In Lina's field of vision, they almost filled up the entire wall.

"Long time no see, Lina, it's been a long time since we talked alone like this."

Lance sat in his recliner, looking at Lina with a mysterious look. Although he said he cared, Lina did not see any kindness in Lance's eyes.

As the heir to the Valuka Territory, Lance de Aquafres had been strictly controlled by his father since he was a child, so that he had almost no time to play throughout his childhood. The only time he could relax was when he was with Lina. When he was a child, he would always bully and tease Lina, which was one of his few pleasures.

Under this high-pressure situation, Lance was indeed forced to absorb a lot of knowledge, including, of course, the history of their family.

Lina didn't know when Lance started to plan to do this, nor how long he had been planning it, or what cards he had behind it. But Lina knew that what Lance was going to do would push her family into an abyss of no return.

"Yeah, long time no see."

Lina's face was very gloomy. Although she tried her best to act natural, that was just her personality and Lance saw all the changes on her face.

"What's wrong? My sister, who made you unhappy?"

Lance showed concern to Lina like a gentle and considerate older brother. If she hadn't grown up with him, Lina would have almost been deceived by him.

"It's okay, I'm just so happy to see you."

Lina also knew that she was not good at disguising her emotions. She knew very well that Lance must have noticed something from her face, but she still pretended to know nothing and continued chatting with Lance.

The blade of the weapon on the wall reflected a beam of light onto Lance's face because of the sunlight from the window outside, making his originally handsome face look a little sinister. He sat there and looked at Lina quietly, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

Although he didn't know whether Lina had discovered anything, Lance didn't care. In his plan, Lina had no ability to resist. However, this time when Lina came back, she brought back an accident.

That was Lu Ren. Lance had heard of Lu Ren's name, and he realized that if Lu Ren intervened, his plan might have some loopholes. But if he let Lina and Lu Ren go, then Lance would lose the key hostage in his plan. Lu Ren was powerful, but Verdi, the guardian of Frannia, was equally powerful. Lance had to control Lina in his own hands to make Verdi hesitate and gain an advantage in possible future wars.

Besides, Lina's return this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we let her go like this, who knows when Lina will come back next time.

"My dear sister, don't just stand there, sit down."

Following Lance's signal, his loyal servant immediately brought a chair to Lina and invited her to sit down.

"..."

Lina was a little hesitant about this. She was worried that there was a trap, but if she didn't sit down, wouldn't she be completely exposed?

"It's okay. I just sat in the library for a long time. Now is a good time to stand for a while."

So Lina racked her brains and came up with an excuse that she didn't think was too lame, but it obviously couldn't convince Lance, who supported his face with his hands and kept thinking about something.

In the next second, just when Lina felt that the atmosphere at the scene was not right and was about to leave, Lance decisively took action.

He just clapped his hands, and a strange magic came out from the room, and Lina suddenly found herself unable to move.

"Uh...what do you want to do?"

Feeling that she seemed to have no ability to resist, Lina looked at Lance vigilantly. She didn't expect that Lance actually had this kind of magic. She didn't know whether he learned it by himself or had a master guiding him.

"My dear sister, please don't be so malicious. Let us improve our relationship as siblings..."

A twisted smile appeared on Lance's face, and that expression reminded Lina of some bad memories. When Lance bullied her as a child, he would show a similar expression.

"You're crazy! We are brother and sister!"

Lina didn't know what Lance was going to do to her, but her instinct told her that it would not be a good thing, so she wanted to struggle.

However, the powerful magic made Lina unable to move at all. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. Even the magic amulet on her body didn't work at all.

"Just listen to what I say..."

Lance walked leisurely in front of Lina and looked down at her with the attitude of a winner. In his imagination, as long as he could catch Lina first, then Lu Ren would be cautious and not dare to act rashly.

But just as Lance was about to reach out and touch Lina, a huge magic arrow of light fell from the sky, piercing through the room and the ceiling of the castle, separating Lance and Lina.

"Tsk, what's going on?"

Although the magic arrow did not hit Lance directly, the huge impact still made him step back several steps. Finally, he was able to stand firm with the help of the servants. After coming to his senses, Lance looked at the smoke in front of him and said with gritted teeth.

But even if he didn't say it, everyone present had already guessed who it was, it's just that the other party hadn't revealed his true identity yet.

"Are you OK?"

When the dust cleared, a cute little figure appeared beside Lina. It was Lu Ren. She brought Leila to Count Valuka and told him what happened. Although he was still a little skeptical, Count Valuka decided to send someone to the Nagios Archer's camp first to try to regain command of the unit.

And Lu Ren rushed to rescue Lina.

Facing the magic restraints on Lina, Lu Ren discovered some anomalies. This was not mortal magic. Lu Ren was somewhat familiar with this kind of magic, but now she first used powerful magic to break through the restraints on Lina, and then confronted Lance with Lina.

"You bastard! How dare you harm your family!"

After breaking free from the restraints, Lina shouted angrily. Although she and her brother did not have a very good relationship, blood is thicker than water after all. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, Lina would never have believed that Lance would actually do such a thing.

"Hmph, there's no point in talking any more. You have to stay here obediently today!"

When Lance saw Lu Ren joining the battle and freeing Lina, he was furious. Although he knew that there was a huge gap in their current combat power, relying on the fact that he still had a backup plan, Lance and his servants took the initiative to attack Lu Ren and the others.
