Team villains except me

When Altair saw the corpse, he felt dazedly that all this had been foreshadowed.

Yalinxiu didn't come to Fortsu, Loretta was suddenly invited to the palace, Valerie and Loretta didn't tell Musa where they were going, Loretta went into Gidi's room on her own, he and Femei'o followed Valerie around the palace, Valerie left for something, leaving him and Femei'o in a "safe" place...

All this indicates that there will be no good outcome.

Maybe he was safe where he and Femeiou were.

But he wanted to go to the bathroom.

He got lost in this huge palace, and then ran into the scene of the destruction of corpses.

He knew the body.

He wanted to retch.

His tears flowed uncontrollably, soaking his coat, and he gritted his teeth not daring to make a sound.

He regretted it. He shouldn't have left Femmeor, he shouldn't have let Valerie go alone, he shouldn't have let Loretta go into that room alone, he shouldn't have gone into the palace, he shouldn't have come to Rainier, he shouldn't have been friends with Loretta—

Most importantly, you shouldn't enter the palace.

He wanted to go back an hour.

The sky was still bright and clear, and everyone was alive.

-

"The sky seems to be clearing up."

Femei'o shielded her eyes from the sunlight. Although she was a mutant vampire and could bask in the sun, she still didn't like such strong light. She asked Loretta how long it would take to get to the palace.

"Less than five minutes."

Loretta glanced at Femmeo, then took off her coat and threw it into Femmeo's arms.

"Use this to block the sun."

Felicia didn't refuse. She held Loretta's coat over her head and complained angrily about the unpredictable weather.

Valerie followed the children and looked up at the sky.

"That's how it is in Futsu. The weather changes very quickly in autumn. It was cloudy in the morning, and now the sun is out, it might rain heavily tonight."

Altair felt a little uncomfortable.

"We didn't bring an umbrella."

Loretta looked back at Altaïr.

"I remember you as an eagle. Your wings could shield you from the rain, and you were the only one among us who could fly without breaking the law."

Loretta was in a terrible mood. She really hated Gideon, but she couldn't get rid of him yet. She looked at Altaïr and felt that he didn't know the rights he had. Altaïr had rights that she didn't have.

Altair stammered, but said nothing.

The palace is right in front of us.

Loretta stepped in first.

Loretta was already very familiar with the palace, so she walked very quickly. She didn't know what would happen next. If she had known, she would have looked back at her friends and Valerie. She wouldn't have walked so fast, and she would have prayed with all her might to the Beast God to slow down time.

But no one can predict the future. Even if one knows the future is certain, few can successfully avoid fate.

That's how the world works. That's the only way the world works.

This is a natural law that even gods cannot decide.

Loretta was too young. She hadn't had a normal childhood, and she wouldn't have a normal growing up.

"...Hello, Loretta. It's been a long time."

It was a sharp, cold voice that made Altair shudder when he heard it.

Loretta looked at the eagle in front of her, who was a head taller than her, and curled her lips in disdain.

"Not dead yet? Next time you send your lackeys to my house without warning, I will make sure they never come back."

"Loretta, you still look like a bitch. Despite this, I forgive you, my fiancée."

Jidi smiled. He was a very standard eagle, very tall, with a fairly regular face, but he always kept the same expression, looking like he was wearing a mask.

He turned his head and saw Femeiou, Altair and Valerie behind Loretta.

He understands.

"Your little nanny and servant are here too? They have no right to enter my bedroom."

Femeiou had never seen an Eagle who asked for a beating so badly. She took a step forward involuntarily and was about to punch this "Jidi", but Valerie grabbed her collar by the back.

Valerie's attitude was respectful.

"Your Highness, we are leaving now."

Loretta looked back at Valerie to reassure her, then she followed Jidi into Jidi's residence.

The door slowly closed.

Femeiou bit her lip and asked Valerie.

"Loretta won't be hurt, will she?"

Valerie shook her head.

"No. Gidi wouldn't dare. Loretta is Musa's daughter. The king couldn't handle a Musa out of control, so he wouldn't dare. Gidi is his father's most obedient son, so Gidi wouldn't dare touch Loretta either."

Valerie patted her head.

"Well, since you finally made it to the palace, I'll show you around. Actually, the palace is similar to the manor, except for the eagles that live there."

Valeri was like a qualified guide. She took Phoebe and Altair to see the iconic buildings, library, and greenhouse gardens in the palace.

Valerie became increasingly absent-minded, and even Altair, whose mind was completely blank with nervousness, could notice it.

Under the eaves, Fermiao took Valerie in.

"You go ahead. Altair and I will be fine. You adults have your own tasks, I know."

Valerie paused, then squatted down and looked directly at Femeiou.

"Then I'll be gone for a while. You guys wait here for me, okay? If anything happens... you can go find Loretta or De Ling. De Ling is in the palace today."

Femeiou nodded.

"Let's go, Valerie. Altair and I won't run around."

Valerie was not reassured. But she had more important things to do, so she left, looking back every few steps. Femeiou waved her hand and sighed only after Valerie had completely disappeared.

"How come I didn't get anything done this morning...Altaïr, I'm feeling really anxious. That Gidi is so creepy, and Loretta hates him. Why can't she just reject him?"

"Because of the future king of Lanier. When I was still in Lanier, everyone had a good impression of this prince because he was so huge when he turned back to his original form. He could fly very high and he could easily fly over Patriati."

Femeiou seemed to have grasped something, but the thought flashed through his mind and quickly disappeared.

She and Altair chatted casually, and after a while, Altair stopped talking.

Femeiou looked back at Altair and saw that he looked very bad.

"what happened to you?"

"I need to go to the bathroom..."

"Are you going? Even though Valerie told us to stay here, there's nothing particularly dangerous in this palace, right? You're still Eagle, so nothing will happen. Do you need me to accompany you?"

Altair hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said no.

He came with his schoolbag. He handed the bag to Femeiou and went to find the toilet.

The sky is a little cloudy.

Although Altair was an eagle, his sense of direction wasn't great. After walking for a while, he realized he was lost. The floor tiles in the palace all had the same pattern, and he kept walking the same path, but he had no idea where he was.

Strange buildings, strange flowers and plants, strange space.

Altair couldn't even find an Eagle to ask for directions.

Panic seized him. He took a deep breath and listened carefully to where he could hear the sound. If there was a sound, it would be the Eagle Tribe, and he could ask for directions... He glanced at the sky.

There are no eagles passing by here. Why not?

Altaïr approached the source of the noise nervously. He could vaguely hear voices talking.

It was a wasteland overgrown with weeds.

As Altair approached, he realized something was amiss. He didn't dare make a sound, and he considered turning away, but he was hoping against hope that he wouldn't see anything truly horrific.

Pushing aside the weeds that were in the way, he saw Valerie, who had just told him and Femeiou not to wander around.

Valerie's body was lying on the ground with her arm broken.

Two eagles surrounded Valerie, knives in hand, and they were saying...

"Is she still alive?"

"Who knows? How can a female eagle have so much strength? Just die peacefully. Look at my arms, they are all wounded."

"Why did Your Highness suddenly want to kill this woman?"

"I don't know, and don't worry about it. We will just carry out His Royal Highness's orders. Don't ask any more questions."

Altair wanted to retch. He gritted his teeth, staring into Valerie's darkened eyes. Fear glued him to the ground. He wanted to scream, but even his breath was light.

He was shaking. His legs were weak, and he wanted to kneel down, and he didn't know—he didn't know what was happening.

Then he learned something about the Eagle Tribe's atavism that he would never forget in his life.

Eagle orcs will return to their original form after complete death.

"Ha, she's finally dead. Otherwise it would be too troublesome to deal with the body."

"Yes. His Highness said that we should make sure no one can find her. Bury her in this land?"

"Why go to all that trouble? Can't you just burn it?"

"You still have a way."

The two eagles who were speaking smiled nonchalantly, and one of them lit a fire.

Altair couldn't move.

Fear split his head like an axe. He watched the flames getting closer and closer to Valerie, and many people flashed through his mind, but none of them could make him move his legs.

He is a cowardly eagle.

But, but Loretta, Valerie, Yalinxiu, Musa...

his mother.

Altair remembered his mother's words.

If you encounter a situation that you cannot understand or bear, think of the female eagle as your mother.

Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness.

Loretta...Musa is often away from Futsu, and Valerie is like a mother to Loretta.

Altair couldn't imagine how devastated Loretta would be. Valerie... Valerie, who had eaten breakfast with them that morning, how could she be dead?

She couldn't, couldn't be burned like this.

Altair threw himself into the scene of the destruction of the body.

He struggled to stand up, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Don't, don't move! Don't touch her!"

The two eagles were startled. They looked at Altair warily and landed on his neck.

"Who are you!"

Altair felt his blood rushing through his veins. He must have looked very pale, but he didn't want to die here, he didn't want to die in Lanier, he wanted to get out alive, and he wanted to take Valerie with him.

Think about it, Altair, think about it, if Femeiou were here, if you were Loretta, if you were Yalinxiu... Oh my God, is Loretta in danger too now?

He couldn't... he couldn't carry the bodies of Valerie and Loretta out of the palace at the same time.

Altair's throat felt like it was being rubbed by broken glass. He tried to speak, but his throat was burning with pain.

He raised his hands and slowly stood up.

He swallowed.

"I am... I am His Highness's servant. I am Fletcher Ahern's son, an illegitimate child. You all know His Highness Giddy's fiancée, Loretta, but we are half-sisters. His Highness told me to hand over Wa... that female eagle to me."

The two eagles looked at him suspiciously.

"Really?"

Altair's ears were ringing.

He couldn't hear what the two eagles opposite him were saying at all. He tried hard to make out their lip movements. He pretended to be aristocratic, and his tone was arrogant but trembling.

"Of course, otherwise how could I find this place? Why did I come here specifically? His Highness said that the female eagle's body on his waist has other uses, so he sent me here. You have done a good job. I will report your situation to His Highness and let him reward you-"

He could no longer stand.

He now hated himself for being cowardly. He knew he had been exposed and was very clumsy.

How could he be so useless? He was about to burst into tears, he couldn't control it at all.

"...Then you can take the body away."

Altair didn't hear clearly.

"what?"

"Your Highness, don't you want this woman's body? I'll give it to you. Don't think of taking all the credit for our work!"

The two eagles waved their knives at him.

Altair nodded repeatedly, placing the support of his whole body on his feet, and walked to Valerie with each step, and gently picked her up.

Valerie had always been tall. He needed to look up to see her. He often saw her smile. But now, Valerie felt light and cool in his arms.

The blood has coagulated.

Altair could no longer maintain his expression. He carried Valeri in his arms as he passed by the two eagles. He tried not to appear panicked, but Valeri's broken wings drooped, flapping against his arms as he walked.

As if to comfort him.

The muscles on Altair's face trembled. He turned his back to the two eagles, one hand free. He bit the back of his hand with his teeth, letting the pain stimulate his mind.

His skin was very tough. He bit his hand tightly and walked out step by step.

After walking out of that area, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

He took out his communicator tremblingly and sent messages to everyone he knew, but in Lanier, his communicator was like a piece of dead meat.

Altair crept down with Valerie in his arms. He wanted to find Femeiou first, and then he wanted to find Loretta—

"Altaïr, where have you been? I've been looking for you. Did you fall? Wait, you...what happened to you?!"

Altair raised his head with difficulty.

The weather is gloomy and there is a hint of rain.

He saw Femmeo's face, and he struggled to stand up and handed Valerie in his arms to Femmeo.

Then he started vomiting, tears streaming down his face as he vomited.

Femei'o patted his back anxiously. She held the female eagle's body and asked Altair what happened.

The back of Altair's hands were covered in blood. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, his voice hoarse like a hemp rope that was about to break.

"That's Valerie you're holding... Valerie's dead... Valerie's dead! Femmeo, find Loretta—find Loretta!"
