"Joining Shadow Garden is a tough job. You're so far behind everyone else. The training you need is far beyond your imagination. And you have to sleep with me."
When Alexia heard the word "sleeping partner", she jumped up suddenly, her body movements were exaggerated, and her face was flushed. She never expected Sid to say that.
"Sleeping with me? This... How is this possible!"
Alexia's voice became sharp with surprise. She looked at Shangguan Wen in disbelief, as if she had heard the most incredible thing in the world. Her cheeks quickly flushed, and her eyes were filled with anger, shyness, and a subtle hint of panic.
If it was Shangguan Wen, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would be too fast.
Shangguan Wen saw this and a playful smile appeared on his lips. He slowly approached Alexia and said softly:
"Don't worry, let me explain. In Shadow Garden, there's a way to quickly gain power. That's to sign a magic contract with me. This means everything you have will be handed over to me. There are pros and cons, so you don't need to rush into it. Consider it."
"Also, I will take action against the Kingdom of Midgar and incorporate it into my territory. With your participation, I can be more gentle when conquering it."
Alexia's expression gradually changed from shock to solemnity. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her disordered heartbeat.
But does she have any other choice? Faced with internal and external troubles, the only way out is to cling to Shangguan Wen's support.
As for sleeping with the emperor, among the royal family and the nobility, there is no male noble who does not indulge in extravagant activities. Shangguan Wen is considered a good man who keeps himself clean.
"I, Alexia Midgar, am willing to sign a contract with you, Sid Kagaello."
After saying that, Alexia knelt on one knee, like a female knight ready to be canonized.
Chapter 71: Unlocking Claire's Memory, Alexia No. 667
After signing the contract, Alexia suddenly had a lot of knowledge that she didn't know in her mind. The amount of information she had to bear was too much, and coupled with today's battle, she couldn't help but faint.
Shangguan Wen hugged the unconscious girl, took her to the bathroom to wash off the dirt on her body, put her on the big bed, covered her with a quilt, and then moved her to the base where Alpha and other girls were, and asked other members of [Shadow Garden] to take good care of the sleeping Alexia.
Then, Shangguan Wen took the initiative to find Claire, his fiancée's sister who had been busy helping him.
Claire
"Sid, you're not doing well."
With tears in her eyes, Claire flew into Shangguan Wen's arms, casting her heart over Shangguan Wen's head.
Shangguan Wen gently patted Claire's back and said:
"Okay, okay, Claire, I'm fine. I can't breathe if you keep doing this."
Claire obediently wiped away her tears, got off Shangguan Wen, placed her hands on his shoulders, and said eye to eye:
"Sid, don't do this again, I'm scared."
"I made you worry, Claire, but there are some things I should tell you."
Claire's heart trembled. Thinking about the chaos in the royal capital that had just passed, she realized one thing: the royal capital of Midgard was not simple. There was an invisible big hand behind the scenes manipulating it, and the so-called royal family was just a supporting role.
Shangguan Wen brought Claire to his dormitory, set up the barrier, and lifted the seal that had been in place for many years (Chapter 11). Childhood memories reappeared in his mind.
"No wonder... [Diabolos Cult], Sid, you've worked hard over the years."
Claire wanted to say that she was not Sid's fiancée and sister, and that he had deceived her into doing such a life-and-death matter by himself.
But when he thought about the moves Sid had just used, he realized that he was the one who was holding Sid back.
Finally, Claire gritted her teeth, pleading, and took Shangguan Wen's hand with her delicate hand, saying:
"Sid, sign a contract with me and let me join Shadow Garden. I don't want to be a burden to you, nor do I want to be kidnapped like I was when I was a child and have you rescue me."
"As for your girls, don't worry. I'll be their big sister and make sure they're well-managed."
When faced with Kreya volunteering to be the master of Crystal Palace, Shangguan Wen said you are thinking too much.
"Haha, Kreya, Alpha and the others would rather recognize Irene as their eldest sister than you."
When mentioning Irene Serberion who had not yet appeared, Kreia's happy face suddenly relaxed.
There was no other reason. As one of the instructors in Shadow Garden, Irene Selberion was ranked second in strength and status. How could she compare to the other party?
"Sid, can I be third then?"
"Third, Alpha might have something to say."
"And the fourth?"
Delta
The more she talked, the more her face sank. She was actually so far behind those bitches in terms of strength. Why had she been so stupid to let Sid seal her memory? If she hadn't sealed it, she would have been third. How could she be so good at it?
"Sid, what are you going to do next?"
Shangguan Wen paused, not hiding his ambitions at all:
"On the surface, I will continue to be a student at the Magic Swordsman Academy. Here, there are many secrets about the Fenrir faction of the [Diabolos Cult], and secretly, I will intervene and prepare to seize power in various countries around the world."
Claire had not expected that her brother would play such a big game and want to seize countries around the world, but then she thought, [Shadow Garden] has been fighting with [The Diabolos Cult] for who knows how many years. Once the [Diabolos Cult] completes its usurpation of the throne of countries around the world, it will mobilize all manpower and material resources to completely encircle [Shadow Garden]. Just imagine how much pressure this would put on them.
Claire took Shangguan Wen's hand and encouraged him softly:
"Sid, go for it, I will stand behind you and will not lose to those girls."
"Thank you"

The next morning came, and the sunlight shone into Alexia's eyes, making her open them a little uncomfortably. The next second, she hurriedly got up and looked out the window at the bright sunshine.
"here it is...."
Alexia covered her head with her hands. The amount of information she received last night was too much for her to handle and she passed out. So is this a base of [Shadow Garden] now?
The door was pushed open, and a female staff member wearing the uniform of the Siyue Chamber of Commerce walked in.
[Sure enough, the Siyue Chamber of Commerce that has emerged in recent years is a chamber of commerce supported by Shadow Garden and specifically provides financial support.]
"Princess Alexia, you're awake!"
"who are you?"
"I am an ordinary member of Shadow Garden. If you join us, you will be given the code name 0.
"Code name?"
"Yes, there are code names in Shadow Garden. Your code name is 667."
"What about Sid?"
"Sid, that's my Lord Shadow. Don't call him by his name. When you're working, you should address him by his position. You can't use his real name."
Alexia nodded. If she used her real name, she would be found by the Diabolos Cult. These rats hiding in the dark had been infiltrating Midgard, not to mention all the countries on the continent, for who knows how many years. If she revealed her real name to them, she would die quickly.
Alexia's heart skipped a beat. The invisible war in the other world was far more profound and complex than she had previously understood.
"Then what is my mission?"
Niu said seriously to the newcomer in front of him:
"My Lord has two missions for you."
"First, go and tell your sister Alice Midgar that you're safe. At the same time, tactfully mention the cult and the garden. It's best to tell her not to spread the news, especially within the Knights. Neither my Lord nor you sisters can guarantee that a knight who ostensibly pledges allegiance to the Kingdom of Midgar is actually an undercover agent of the Diabolos Cult."
Alexia had suffered a great loss when it came to the undercover agents within the Knights Templar. Even Geno, the apparent head swordsmanship coach, and his subordinates were members of the Diabolos Order. She, as the 1.7st and th sisters, could not guarantee whether there were other undercover agents inside, but they had not been exposed yet.
"Didn't you finish the killing last night?"
Niu couldn't help but roll his eyes. The Diabolos Cult had existed longer than Shadow Garden. Who knew if they had established bases in other worlds other than this one by traveling through the Black Rose.
"You're overthinking it. Even with my Lord Shadow's powerful ability to manipulate shadows, I haven't been able to locate all of the cult's high-ranking members and strongholds. Not to mention the heavy losses they suffered from our repeated attacks. The Diabolos Cult must have hidden and relocated some of their important facilities and information."
"Even a centipede is still alive, destroying the Diabolos Cult will not be accomplished overnight."
Alexia sighed softly. The final boss was indeed not so easy to deal with.
Chapter 72 Sisters Talk
"So, Niu, what is my second mission?"
Alexia asked about her second mission.
"Training, you don't even meet the requirements for Shadow Garden graduates right now. According to previous requirements for new recruits, they all had to go to headquarters for training before they could come out to complete their missions. But now, you will be trained by my Lord Shadow himself. You should feel honored. This is a reward only given to the first batch of Shadow Garden members. I envy you very much."
When Alexia heard that Sid was going to train her personally, she immediately imagined a lot of sparks of love generated by the training. Her heartbeat accelerated a bit, and two red clouds quietly appeared on her cheeks.
[Damn you little slut, you'll get beaten if you start running early]
"So, when does training start?"
Alexia tried her best to sound calm and professional, but the excitement in her heart was like a tide that was difficult to suppress.
"Start immediately."
There was no emotion in Niu's voice, as if he had seen through Alexia's thoughts.
"However, don't be too quick to imagine those romantic scenes. My Lord's training is notoriously rigorous. He requires not only the improvement of skills, but also the tempering of mind and will. Are you ready for the challenge?"
Alexia took a deep breath, her eyes determined: "I'm ready. No matter how difficult it is, I will persevere."
"First, tell your sister you're safe. Also, don't expose yourself here. Telling white lies will be your test. There's a brand new, clean school uniform over there. Wash up, put it on, and we'll be off."
"Okay, Button."
Alexia didn't want to waste time, so after washing herself up, she set off from here. She was also careful not to take any alleys, but the main road with a lot of people.
When Alexia arrived at the Knights, she saw her sister Alice Midgar with dark circles under her eyes.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"Alexia?"
Seeing her sister safe and sound, Alice hurried over and hugged her. Her tense expression suddenly relaxed, tears streaming from her eyes as she spoke:
"Alexia, where have you been? Do you know that your disappearance has worried me, my father, and my mother to death?"
Alexia also hugged her sister. She also had a lot to say, but considering that this was a knight order full of undercover agents and that people from the Diabolos Order were eavesdropping, she couldn't tell the truth and had to make up some stories.
When Alice heard her sister's words, she looked at her uncertainly, only to see Alexia using the sign language game they played when they were children to tell her that this was not the place to talk.
Alice nodded in understanding, then left the Knights Order with her sister and rode in a carriage to the academy.
Along the way, Alexia told her sister the truth about her kidnapping, but her hands did contain magic. She held her sister's hand and communicated with her mentally, telling her everything except the fact that she had joined Shadow Garden.
Alexia knew this move because she gained the power after signing a contract with Shangguan Wen - low-level additional telepathic communication magic.
Especially when Alice heard that the dead Geno, the swordsmanship coach of the Kingdom of Midgar, was actually an undercover agent of the Diabolos Cult, her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief. She almost pushed her sister into the tiger's mouth.
Alice also looked at the coachman who was pulling the carriage warily. After hearing what her sister said, she was now suspicious of the Knights and no longer dared to trust anyone easily.
"Alexia, do you think I can rebuild a new knight order now?"
"Sister, absolutely not. The fact that you have the idea of rebuilding means that you've discovered that the Diabolos Cult has planted undercover agents in the Knights. We don't know who they are, or if they are all of them. Sometimes, playing dumb is a skill."
"Tsk, Alexia, you've learned acting and other things without any teacher after this disaster. Are you still hiding something from your sister? For example, how come I didn't know you could do this communication magic?"
Alexia smiled awkwardly. There was no way to tell the secret without using low-level additional communication magic, but using it would expose her.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I can't tell you now. The people from Shadow Garden saved me, but they also put me under a ban. If I reveal too many of their secrets, I will..."
"Okay, okay, I get it, Alexia. When I become stronger, I will find those guys from Shadow Garden and have them lift the ban they placed on you!"
Watching my sister daydreaming,
Alexia smiled bitterly inwardly, but she couldn't bear to directly dampen her sister's enthusiasm, so she comforted her in a different way:
"Sister, I sense your determination, but the most important thing now is that we become stronger together so that we can protect each other and our country. Regarding Shadow Garden, since they saved me, it means they share our goals in some respects. Perhaps one day in the future, we can resolve this in a more peaceful way." Upon hearing this, Alice's eyes flashed with determination. She held her sister's hand tightly, as if making a silent promise:
"Alexia, don't worry. No matter how difficult the road ahead, I will protect you and prevent anyone from harming you. Let's work together to become stronger!" As the carriage moved along the smooth road, the sisters' conversation came to a temporary halt. Alexia used the Low-Level Addition Telepathic Communication spell to convey some key information to Alice.
For example, how to investigate the true situation within the Knights Templar without arousing suspicion, and how to strengthen one's own defense capabilities to prevent accidents from happening again.
Alice listened to her sister's advice while silently pondering. She realized that getting rid of the Diabolos Cult's infiltration and rebuilding the Knights' trust would take time, but she also couldn't sit idly by and let the Diabolos Cult's conspiracy continue to succeed.
Alice decided to start with the people closest to her, and gradually investigate, while also strengthening her own training and improving her strength.
The carriage finally stopped in front of the academy's gates. After the two sisters disembarked, Alice looked around, her mind wary. She knew from this moment on, they had to be even more cautious, as enemies could be lurking in any corner of the kingdom.
As for why they didn't go to the king and queen, after this incident, the two sisters labeled their parents as suspects. It is better to be cautious before contacting the suspect.
The other members of the royal family did not know that they were descendants of heroes, but their parents definitely knew and might even have been directly or indirectly involved.
