Chapter 14: Terminal Illness

Early the next morning, Li Chengqi opened the store's rolling shutter door and sat behind the cashier.

I don’t know if it’s because I woke up once in the middle of the night, and my head feels a little dizzy.

After paying the bills for several children who came to buy bread and milk in the morning, Li Chengqi opened his laptop and looked at what was going on in the game.

It was not completely dark yet in the game, but Li Chengqi unexpectedly discovered that Viola had already gotten up.

After searching for a while, I found Viola in her pajamas processing documents at the table with several guards knights.

Li Chengqi pressed his swollen temples:

"Speaking of which, she should be told about the ledger found last night..."

Pulling out the headset and plugging it in, Li Chengqi was about to 'deliver an oracle' when he suddenly saw the office door in the screen being pushed open, and a green-haired knight of the guard appeared there, saying something to Viola nervously and loudly. .

Don't be surprised by the green hair. Although Li Chengqi chose the fantasy script to start the game, there is still a difference between magic and magic.

Viola's painting style is definitely not Western magic, it feels more like Japanese magic. The biggest feature is that the NPC's hair color is so colorful, including blue, green, purple, pink and white.

Let’s not talk about this yet.

Since he hadn't yet clicked on Viola to have her portrait appear on the screen, Li Chengqi didn't see what was said between them. He just noticed that Viola didn't even change her clothes after listening to the green-haired knight. He rushed out of the room immediately.

But the other knights around her tried their best to stop her. Some hugged her legs and some hugged her waist. In short, they didn't want her to leave.

What happened?

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.

April 3rd, early morning.

Since the lord decided to hand over all matters in the territory to Viola, the princess got up before dawn today and ran to the office to deal with the backlog of official documents with her knights.

To be honest, there is not much point in doing this anymore, because most of the official documents are sent to the royal capital, but the royal capital has already fallen.

Perhaps Viola wanted to use work to numb herself and not think about the fact that her father and brother had died in the battle, so she worked very seriously.

"Your Highness, today's meal for Your Majesty is cream stew and roasted quail."

"Oh, that sounds good, but remember not to include wine. Your Majesty doesn't seem to be interested in our wine."

During the twilight prayers yesterday evening, Viola presented another meal, but soon they discovered that the wine in the returned tableware was not touched at all.

"Maybe there are better bars in the God Realm?"

"Of course."

Viola said while looking at the document:

"Your Majesty's acceptance of the food we offer is just a kind of recognition. The God Realm is full of fine wine and delicacies."

"By the way, Your Majesty, have you noticed? There is a very good smell on the tableware returned by the Lord. Could it be the smell of the perfume of the maid who served the Lord?"

The knight on one side showed a longing look:

"It smells so good, better than any perfume."

Of course they won't know that the scent is actually detergent...

"Your Majesty returns the tableware every time, probably because you consider our finances. What a kind Sir."

Even in noble families, silver tableware is an heirloom. If one set is consumed for each sacrifice, there will soon be no silver available in the Leon territory.

"Precisely because Your Majesty is so kind, we cannot take it for granted. We must maintain a grateful heart. As Your Majesty's servants in the mortal world, we should carry out His will."

Before Viola's perfect believer finished speaking, she heard a rapid knock on the door.

After getting permission, the green-haired knight Shelley rushed into the office.

"What's wrong? Where is Zola? She's late today."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Shelley said breathlessly:

"Captain Zora, she, she is going to die!"

"What!"

Viola slapped the table in shock and stood up:

"What on earth happened, please tell me clearly!"

"Captain Zola hasn't been feeling well these past few days. It got worse last night and he kept coughing. We called the doctor over. The doctor said it was a very serious lung disease and there was no cure!"

As soon as these words came out, Viola felt a bang in her head, like a bomb exploding in her head.

The strong dizziness made her unable to stand firmly, and she hurriedly held on to the edge of the table to avoid falling.

Zola is not only Viola's most trusted leader of the Knights of the Guard, but the two have also grown up together since childhood. They are the closest people and best friends.

After a lot of hard work, he finally escaped to the temporarily safe territory of Leon, and got the attention of the Demon King God. It was clear that things had improved, but suddenly a bolt from the blue came.

"Where is Zola! I need to see her!"

"no!"

Shelley hurriedly blocked the door:

"The doctor said that Captain Zola's lung disease is contagious, so she can only be left alone..."

Before she finished speaking, Viola broke down and shouted:

"You want me to watch Zola die alone? Impossible!"

"Your Highness! Calm down!"

The knights who were sorting out the documents also rushed forward, holding Viola's thighs and waist, unable to let her go.

If it is really a contagious lung disease, it will be over if it is transmitted to Viola. She is the last direct bloodline of the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, and it is absolutely unacceptable for the knights of the guard who are loyal to the royal family.

While stopping Viola, he quickly asked Xuelin who reported the news:

"Is there really nothing the doctor can do?"

Shelley also burst into tears, sobbing and crying:

"There is no way! The doctor said that unless a miracle occurs, Captain Zora is dead!"

Miracles are called miracles because they don't happen often.

But this sentence made the struggling Viola stunned:

"A miracle...! By the way, take Zola to the chapel quickly. Your Majesty must have a way to save her!"

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Outside the screen, Li Chenxi watched in confusion as Viola struggled with her knights for a while, and then ran out of the room as fast as she could.

Could it be that an army is coming, so that's why you're so anxious?

Moving the mouse and placing the camera outside Leon Fortress, Li Chengqi looked around along the dirt road.

"No? What are they doing in such a hurry?"

The displayed time was eight-thirty, but the time in the game was four-thirty. The sky had only turned white, and it was not yet time for morning prayers.

Or maybe the lord is doing some tricks again?

Move the camera again and look at the lord's villa.

Maybe it was because he drank too much last night, but the lord was lying on the bed and fast asleep, and it didn't look like he had just done something.

After looking around, Li Chengqi cut the camera to the castle again.

This time he saw several Guards knights carrying a stretcher. Viola seemed to be asked to stay farther away, and each led a large section in front.

There was a pixelated figure with black hair lying on the stretcher. Li Chengqi clicked on it and found out from the pop-up picture in the lower left corner of the screen that it was Zola, the leader of the Knights of the Guards.

This was a female knight with soft black hair who looked like a gentle big sister. Moreover, because her breast size was at least two sizes larger than Viola's, she left a deep impression on Li Chengqi.

Remember, she and Viola were praying together in the chapel last night. Why did they have to lie on a stretcher after not seeing each other all night?

Could it be that the lord poisoned her and wanted to clean up the people around Viola bit by bit?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqi suddenly had the urge to smash the lord's villa with one punch.
