599 Legends Spread in the Empire
Capelin really wants to cry.
Even the existence known as Valkyrie, Capelin could not hold on with such "humiliation" by Sheen.
The main reason is that the current situation is not right.
Thinking of everything I have been through for a while, and the hope of getting out of trouble that I finally waited for was on the person I least wanted to see. Capelin is a seventeen-year-old girl, it would be strange if she didn't want to cry.
Of course, Capelin didn't really cry.
Even though her eyes were red, she forced herself to stop crying, and even stared at Sheen with a stubborn look, looking indomitable, like a little wild cat who was bullied.
When Capelin stared at her like this, Sheen shrugged and finally pulled out the holy sword on her waist.
"Clang!"
The sound of gold and iron suddenly rang out.
Sheen swung a very fast slash at the handcuffs on Capelin's limbs, handcuffs and collars on his neck, causing the sword light to flash in the dim cell, cutting open the bonds.
Only then did Capelin regain his freedom, but because he had no time to react, his body softened and collapsed on the ground.
Seeing the white princess slumped in front of her weakly, Sheen shook her head with a chuckle, and finally pulled off the cloak on her body and threw it on Capelin.
Capelin immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed the cloak, and covered his naked body.
Obviously, His Highness the princess is not without shame.
"What is this place?" Sheen asked Capelin, "Is it just a cell used to imprison people?"
That doesn't look like it at all.
You know, in addition to this basement, there are many patrol knights and working slaves outside.
"It seems they are digging something, do you know what they are going to do?"
Sheen began to collect the information he wanted.
Capelin raised his eyes and looked at Sheen who was staring at him. After a while of silence, he spoke.
"I don't know where this place is, and I don't know what it is for. I only know that after I woke up, my female knight and I were imprisoned here and were tortured by the poisonous concubine."
Capelin whispered.
"During this time here, I have never seen a second person come in to look for us except the Poisonous Concubine, until today."
In other words, Capelin didn't know anything about this.
Sheen was a little disappointed.
However, he didn't say anything.
Anyway, he had come, and he had never thought that he would achieve his goal easily.
While no one noticed the movement here, he planned to investigate the place again and see what secrets are hidden here.
As for Capelin, Sheen will rescue her for now.
No matter what, I have entered a state of cooperation with Harves, and the information from this place was also provided to me by Harves. Since that is the case, bringing his sister out is the most righteous one.
But just as Sheen was planning this way, Capelin didn't know what he thought of and suddenly murmured.
"—"When the sky is covered by darkness, the earth turns into a red prison, the radiant branches will be awakened in their sleep and born in this world"——"
This is a poem.
A sentence that sounds very pleasant and makes people feel some mysterious poems.
Capelin suddenly sang such a poem, which made Sheen stunned.
Seeing this, Capelin did not wait for Sheen to react and gave a straightforward explanation.
"This is a legend that spreads to the Ragna Empire." Capelin said: "It is said that under the land of the Ragna Empire, a treasure called the Glowing Branch was slept."
"Treasure?" Xien raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Is it under the earth of the empire?"
"That's right." Capelin nodded and said, "I heard from my mother mention it before I knew there was such a legend."
According to Capelin, this legend has been circulating on this land for a long time, and so far, not many people know about it.
The imperial family had studied this legend.
Because, there are rumors that the brave men who established the Ragna Empire came to this land in order to find the treasure called the Glowing Branch.
The brave man spent several years searching for the treasure here, but he never got what he wanted.
So he just established a country on this land and lived here for a long time, in order to find the treasure one day in the future.
But he spent his whole life, but ultimately failed.
Then, the brave man, as the founding emperor, was targeted by the demons because he had lived here for a long time and no longer changed his position, and finally died at the hands of the dragon demon.
"My mother once said that at that time, this legend was quite famous."
Capelin was searching for his own memories, thinking about it while telling it.
"The reason why the empire at that time was persecuted by countries and alien races from all over the world after the founding hero died is that it was also due to this legend at the beginning."
Knowing that there are brave people on this land that cannot be pursued by them, and that the treasures that are willing to spend so many years here will naturally feel ready to go.
Taking this as the source, the Ragna Empire, which lost the founding hero, gradually was persecuted by outsiders and experienced ups and downs in its long history, until today.
In the long-term confrontation and struggle, the initial purpose was to gradually be replaced by other reasons and regime issues, and become unknown.
In addition, that legend has become unknown. Today, I am afraid that not many people in the imperial royal family will study it.
Capelin remembered this because she accidentally heard from her mother who was kicked off the stage mention it.
"My mother also heard from the former emperor, my grandfather."
Capelin mentioned such a thing.
Sheen discovered the beautiful spot.
"You said, is your grandfather's ex-emperor?"
Sheen asked out a question with conditioned reflex.
"That's right."
Capelin was slightly stunned, but had no intention of hiding it, and admitted it directly.
That is to say...
"The former emperor is your mother's biological father?" Sheen said with a strange expression: "Your mother is the descendant of the orthodox brave?"
"...Yes." Capelin seemed to understand what Shien was surprised. After a moment of silence, he said lightly: "The current emperor was originally the elder brother of the head of the Lefirut family. After having a political marriage with my mother, he married into the royal family. With the unintentional regent of her mother, she took up the throne and became the emperor."
Well, Sheen finally understood the truth of some things.
Why is the current emperor so cruel that he dares to persecute his descendants?
Why did the Lefirut family obey Moro's words and become her lackey?
The relationship was all because the emperor was confused by Moro. At Moro's instructions, he took action against the descendants of the brave, which also made the Lefirut family a lackey of Moro.
If this were not the case, the bloodline heir of the dignified and brave man would have to consider the idea of leaving some direct bloodline for the imperial royal family and protect Harves and Capelin in front of Moro?
But the emperor did not do this, but instead followed Moro's instructions and persecuted the descendants of these brave men.
Even if Shien used his knees, he could think of what reason Moro used to persuade the emperor to make up his mind.
"Your father is afraid that he wants to completely remove the blood of the Ragna royal family from the empire, so that the imperial royal family will shed their own blood from now on?"
Sheen was convinced, too.
"It should be." Capelin's tone was cold, as if talking about a stranger rather than his biological father, and said: "He was questioned by many traditional nobles because of his marriage. In addition, he had no talent, let alone being the emperor, or being the head of the family, so he was used as a prop for marriage by the Lefirut family and threw it to the royal family, and then supported him to the throne."
The Lefirut family probably wanted to cultivate a puppet emperor and turn the empire into its own one-man show.
In such a situation, it is conceivable how unwilling that emperor would be.
In this way, if someone like Moro appears and not only gives him advice in secret, but also uses various means to help him, he will naturally be confused and become a fool who lets others instruct.
Moro followed the emperor's line, first, drove the imperial concubine off the stage and took revenge on the brave lineage, secondly, he suppressed the Lefirut family and subdued the Lefirut family, which controlled the emperor. In addition, the emperor obeyed his words, his power in the empire naturally gradually became greater and greater, and eventually became more and more powerful.
"What should I say?" Xien spread his hands and said nothing about it: "No wonder your prince brother wants to usurp the throne so much."
"Brother Harves?" Capelin was slightly stunned, then understood and said to Sheen: "Are you the helper invited by your brother?"
"What?" Sheen said with some surprise: "Do you know this?"
"It's almost the same." Capelin relaxed and whispered: "Brother Harves has always wanted to go to the Kingdom for help. When I was missing, I also warned me that it would be better not to have too much conflict with the Kingdom, as it would be detrimental to the subsequent dealing with the Poisonous Concubine."
But Capelin obviously didn't listen.
Otherwise, when Cosmos was in such a state of confrontation with Sheen, nor would she have been in a state of confrontation with the Stirim family.
His Highness, this princess, has always regarded the kingdom as an opponent and the princess of that kingdom as her lifelong enemy.

In this way, she naturally would not be willing to do so when she heard that Harves was preparing to cooperate with the Kingdom and seek help from the Kingdom.
Sheen could think of how many conflicts the brother and sister had had against this matter.
