Since it was already night, the dark cave entrance looked like a monster that chose people to eat.
Even Natalie, who could be invisible in the dark, felt a little numb.
If she had the choice, she would definitely not enter such a place where she didn't know the details.
Because the narrow passage will limit her speed, this is the situation the Paladin Captain dislikes the most.
But Athena still didn't hesitate at all.
After giving Natalie a signal, she got in directly.
Natalie didn't know whether Athena really had no fear, or whether it was because of the Stuart family's secret code that disrupted her emotions behind the mask.
Sighing, Yu Gongyu seemed to be unable to leave Athena alone.
Following closely behind, the Holy Knight Commander also leaned down and dived in.
But the vigilant paladin leader did not put down his guard and put on his hood.
The moment he entered the cave, the paladin leader had already merged with the darkness.
Athena is in front, and no one will know that there is a paladin leader behind.
But it turned out that Natalie's worries were unnecessary.
As they went deeper, the person responsible for guarding the entrance of the cave discovered them.
Athena also noticed the movement at the same time.
In order not to cause misunderstanding or other unnecessary accidents, she took the initiative to speak.
"It's me, don't be nervous" Being able to come to Heretic Island for revenge even when the Stuart family was destroyed, such a person must be a confidant of their Stuart family.
As the former eldest lady of the Stuart family, Athena naturally knows the family's confidants and all their relatives in the Stuart family.
So she was recognized by the other party as soon as she opened her mouth.
Natalie could clearly feel that the guy hiding in the dark was making noises due to excitement.
Sure enough, after hearing the familiar voice, the other party neither attacked nor ran away.
"Are you the eldest lady?"
According to official accounts, Athena was already dead.
But there is no airtight wall in the world, and more or less, they have received some news that Athena is still alive.
And at this point, Athena has no intention of hiding it.
Seeing the other party throwing a torch towards her to confirm her identity, she simply took off her mask.
After not seeing each other for a few years, the girl who had already given birth to a child and been abused by Lorne countless times had matured completely.
From the side of her face illuminated by the firelight, Athena even had a bit of her father's majesty.
This is the girl's own perseverance honed in hardship.
It's a pity that her father has no chance to see his grown daughter and will hide in such a dark cave.
Asina is sure that her father has been killed.
But since the person presiding here is not her father, then why does the other party have a secret code that is only used by direct blood relatives of her Stuart family?
She searched for possible people in her mind, but she did not let Athena guess for long, and confirmed Athe After Nadu's identity, a voice said everything.
"Sister is really you" From the movement just now, Athena discovered that there were many people in the basement.
It was probably because she and Natalie attacked the officers a few days ago that the Stuarts hiding here shrank underground.
But it doesn't matter.
What matters is the voice calling her sister.
She had heard that her younger brother and his father fought against the heretic army together, and that the Duke of the Sea disappeared after the war.
Athena naturally thought that his younger brother had also been killed.
I didn't expect that the young man who blocked Lorne from the duel with Diya and the others at the gate of the imperial capital was so lucky.
Because he was the heir of the Stuart family, he was unable to go to the Northern Territory to practice.
However, Glory City is not a more sinister place. battlefield.
Seeing Giles walking out, Athena almost couldn't control herself if her tears hadn't dried up long ago.
The heir of the Stuart family was not dead.
The appearance of Giles also shocked Natalie.

But what made the paladin captain even more curious was why Giles appeared in Glory City instead of with the remnants of the Stuart family. together.
Not to mention Natalie, even Athena couldn't understand why her brother didn't want to revitalize the family but instead stayed here to cause destruction.
"It's me, why didn't you go to the imperial capital to get here?"
The severe situation did not allow Athena to reminisce with her brother, so she directly asked the questions in her heart, but Giles' answer was full of helplessness and hatred.
"Sister, my father died in the war, and I want to avenge him.
The blood of our Stuart family cannot be shed in vain.
I want to completely destroy these heretical nests, just like our Deep Blue Castle."
Deep Blue Castle has been leveled by heretic artillery fire, and Athena has also heard about this.
But when she heard that her brother was stupid enough to hide in Glory City and seek revenge in this way, if it weren't for the fact that Giles was no longer the green young man he used to be, Athena, as her sister, would definitely pinch his ears.
"Now that you know that your father has died in the war, as the heir of the Stuart family, you have the responsibility to shoulder the task of reviving the family.
Staying here and doing this kind of thing will not help yourself, your family, or your dead father."
Pulling aside Giles, who had obviously replaced his father as leader, Athena persuaded her brother to leave quickly.
But Giles was very stubborn.
His father's death and the sudden collapse of his family were a huge blow to him.
"Pope Keira promised me that as long as I can destroy the heretic's nest, she can give me the highest honor of the Stuart family.
She will announce to everyone that I saved the empire.
Sister, this is your chance to revive the family."
It turns out that Giles hiding in Glory City and doing underground work was a conspiracy behind Keira's back.
His Majesty the Pope didn't even mention it.
Obviously Keira also knew that her approach would anger some people.
"What's going on?
Why would my brother, the legal heir of the Stuart family, be assigned such a task?"
She was obviously talking about how to revive the family, but Athena suddenly said something Giles couldn't understand.
But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand.
Natalie, who is hiding aside, knows very well that Athena is talking to her.
Taking off her hood, the sudden appearance of Natalie startled everyone.
Fortunately, the paladin leader was not an outsider.
But Natalie, who used to be proud in the past, looked a little embarrassed at the moment.
To be honest, she didn't know about it at all.
She has never paid attention to this aspect, and Keira would not discuss this decision with Natalie.
But knowing Kayla's personality, Natalie believed that this incident was probably Kayla's arrangement
