Chapter 208
Claudia's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Emperor Aubrey.
Her body leaned back slightly, trying to escape.
But...
At the moment when her body moved slightly,
a force that broke through the air tore through the space, and the sharp stabs shook the air to make a whistling sound.
Although she was wearing a mask, she still felt the strong wind coming towards her.
Claudia turned her head quickly.
On the ground, an extremely ordinary spear had completely pierced the ground.
Half of the spear was completely embedded in the ground, and dozens of cracks around it broke open and gradually spread out in all directions, like a long tooth biting the entire land.
The huge cracks even buried several meters deep into the ground.
The largest crack was crooked, extending from the spear body to Aubrey's front.
This... how far is it?
She couldn't even see clearly.
Did Aubrey move?
The emperor slowly walked to the wall of the palace and once again picked up a spear.
He put his hands behind his back and put the spear behind his back.
His cloudy eyes looked at Claudia quietly, but those eyes, as if staring at prey, burst out with a strong pressure, making Claudia feel more horrible oppression again.
She was obviously one of the top demon hunters, but under the gaze of the emperor of the empire, the hair on her body couldn't help but stand up, and even beads of sweat appeared on the back of her neck.
"Don't move."
She felt as if she was pressed down by the claws of a giant beast. Her limbs began to twitch slightly, and the fear in her eyes gradually began to grow.
"I don't want to see the dirty blood of the demon hunter flowing all over the ground."
"So, don't move."
Claudia looked at Aubrey palely, silent.
Finally, as if she had recognized some reality, she suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hehe...hahahaha."
The breath that was originally pressing on her body seemed to be pushed away by her.
With an indifferent look, she said to Aubrey:
"Aubrey, if my blood is dirty, then...what are you?"
"Do you think you are noble?"
At this point, Claudia gently stroked the mask on her face, and suddenly lifted it up, revealing a young and beautiful face.
But on the other half of the face with delicate features, there was a mysterious black and red pattern, which spread all the way to the back of the ear.
One eye became extremely scarlet, as if there was a stream of blood flowing in the bottom of the eye, and the blood vessels around the eyeball gradually gathered towards the center.
Claudia smiled, pointing to the half of her face covered with lines:
"Don't forget this place."
"Thanks to you."
She put the mask back on, turned around, and said to Victor in a calm and gentle voice:
"Sorry, I scared you."
"It's okay."
Victor shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.
He leaned against the wall, saying that he didn't care.
Claudia Stoke,
In the background setting, she is the only remaining woman in the Stoke family of the empire.
After Claudia became the queen, the whole family should have prospered.
However, this family was completely wiped out in an unexpected way.
Only Claudia was left as the only remaining bloodline.
The reason was because of this queen.
After Claudia became the queen, she spent more than ten years to collect evidence and betrayed her family.
Colluding with foreign forces and amassing a large amount of wealth in the empire, etc.
In the end, with the help of Queen Claudia, Aubrey completely annexed the Stoke family.
Many players speculate that the reason why Claudia did this was because she loved Aubrey so deeply that she was willing to sell out her family.
But in fact, the game never showed the emotional interaction between the queen of the empire who existed in name only and Aubrey.
Because, until Aubrey died, the queen did not appear.
When the players saw her, they were in the base camp of the demon hunters.
She is one of the seven cadres in the demon hunter organization.
If the identity of Claudia's empire queen was not mentioned in the later story, no one would even know about it.
At this time, Victor happened to see this scene that could be called a royal secret.
Naturally, he had to appreciate it.
He also wanted to thank Kefla for providing him with such a clue.
So that he could see a good show.
After Claudia put on the mask again, her mood calmed down a little.
"Okay, Aubrey, take itWhat choice are you going to make next?"
"Kill me directly? Or keep me in prison like before?"
The violent aura on Aubrey gradually became cold, like a bottomless abyss.
But the still terrible oppression carried a biting cold, as if it could completely freeze a person's soul, and the voice was extremely cold:
"Claudia, you should know why."
"Of course I know, for that woman."
Claudia shrugged, and in this chill, she seemed to have looked past death, showing no fear at all.
"It's ridiculous that you are so infatuated, but in the end you still have nothing, Aubrey. "
Swoosh!
The spear turned into a white light, piercing through the space, and the sharp impact shuttled through again.
It was nailed heavily into the surrounding ground.
The cracks caused by this terrifying force became more serious, and the surrounding ground completely sank, and the huge palace also trembled together.
What a terrifying power.
And this was even just a casual attack from Aubrey.
Claudia gave such an evaluation.
But...
"Impotent rage."
"You only need to tilt a little to penetrate my body directly."
"But I don't believe that this is because you are soft-hearted."
Claudia looked at the cold Aubrey in front of her and smiled faintly:
"You have never loved me, never. "
After the words fell, Claudia pulled out the spear that was nailed into the ground with great effort.
Holding it tightly in her hand, she looked at Aubrey again with a provocative look.
Then, the spear turned in her hand and pointed at her body.
Puff--
The silver cold iron pierced through Claudia's flesh and blood.
The amazing bright red blood suddenly gushed out, covering the entire ground.
There seemed to be some black lines mixed in the blood, which was extremely weird.
But Victor and Aubrey just watched Claudia's self-harm quietly, and no one went up to stop her.
Watching Claudia commit suicide with their own eyes.
Finally, Claudia's body lay on the ground.
The body and blood began to gradually merge and intertwine, as if they had become one.
The bright red blood gradually solidified, flowed along the cracks in the ground, and dissipated.
"She's gone. "
Aubrey said calmly, looking at the bloodstains that were still disappearing in front of him.
But his voice seemed to be much older.
"You seem to be in a bad mood, Your Majesty."
"Do you need to talk?"
Aubrey glanced at Victor and turned to walk into the royal passage.
Victor followed closely behind him, listening quietly to Aubrey's voice echoing again:
"Claudia Stoke, my first wife, that was before I ascended the throne..."
This was a necessary political marriage. At that time, the Stoke family had not yet fallen and could be regarded as a prestigious noble family.
And the former emperor arranged a marriage for Aubrey and asked him to marry Claudia.
Only in this way could he inherit the throne.
In Aubrey After ascending the throne, Claudia gave birth to two sons for Aubrey.
They were the eldest prince Albany and the second prince Aweser.
Originally, Aubrey lived a very comfortable life after becoming emperor.
Eating, sleeping, practicing martial arts, and confiscating houses.
But this peaceful life lasted until the Kingdom of Kant came to show goodwill.
The Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Kant met with Aubrey and wanted to give his own daughter to Emperor Aubrey for marriage.
And the moment he saw her, Aubrey was stunned.
Just because...
"She is my beloved. ”
Although Aubrey was so strong that he could slay a dragon at the age of seventeen.
But at that time, he was not strong enough to cover the sky with one hand.
During a war, he met the girl from the neighboring country.
The two fell in love.
He had never liked such a person so much.
But he was the heir to the empire and could not designate his own marriage.
Not to mention that the other party was from another country.
So, he missed this love of youth.
Until fifteen years later.
Aubrey, who was already in his thirties, met her again in his own country.
She was the daughter of the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Kant, and she had never married just to wait for him.
And this time, Aubrey, who was already the emperor, had the ability to make his own decisions.
That year, Aubrey truly experienced the taste of love.
Until...
"I saw it with my own eyes. Claudia killed her."
"When I stretched out my hands and wanted to hug her, I could only hold her bloody body."From the flowing arms, I took out the child bathed in the sea of blood."
At this moment, Victor heard it.
Aubrey's voice was full of long-lost sadness.
"Aurelian was born absurdly and miserably in her mother's body."
...
Claudia left the palace and fled outside the capital.
She trembled all over, and blood flowed from her chest.
At the last moment, she used the witcher's blood secret technique and escaped on the condition of self-mutilation.
Aubrey became stronger.
But Claudia was not surprised.
Since she met Aubrey, Aubrey seemed to have no limit and had been getting stronger.
She slumped on the grass, took out a bottle of light red potion from her waist, and drank it slowly. Down.
Throwing the bottle away, she breathed weakly, quietly feeling a warm current wrapping her body.
Life was slowly recovering.
However, the recovery was still too slow.
In a trance, she heard a sound of fluttering air.
Claudia quickly became alert, supporting her body with both hands, trying to stand up.
When the flapping of wings gradually stopped, she could see the shape in the darkness clearly.
Suddenly, she breathed a sigh of relief:
"It turned out to be a crow. "
The black stood on the grass, combing its feathers carefully, as if it was not afraid of humans at all.
Claudia did not take the crow seriously. She leaned weakly on the stone, raised her head, and looked at the starry sky.
Wait a minute, crow?
Sizzle——
Suddenly, a noisy sound like an electric current began to echo in Claudia's ears, making her eardrums feel the sharpness of the overclocking.
The starlight was swallowed up in an instant, and the surroundings became extremely dark.
Claudia's body stopped directly.
What happened...?
Before she could react, she heard a laugh gradually rising from the darkness.
As if with endless ridicule, as if dragging her into the abyss:
"Don't leave in a hurry."
"Someone asked me to catch you, otherwise, you cooperate with me?"
