Team villains except me

Chapter 514 Another Corpse

It took a moment for Femeiou to react, then she clenched her fists when she realized who she was holding in her arms.

She helped Altair to his feet.

"Altaïr, let's go find Loretta—let's go save Loretta."

Femei was practically carrying Altair. Each step she took was heavier than the last. The body of Valerie in her hands felt like magma, burning her arms and tearing the flesh. The pain made her want to scream.

But no.

She can't cry.

She can't fall.

She wanted to walk out of Rainier's palace alive. She wanted to take Loretta and Altair alive and bury Valerie.

Valerie, Valerie. She still remembered the look on Valerie's face when she turned around and looked at her. At this moment, every detail about Valerie became vivid in her memory. She couldn't lower her head to look at Valerie's body. She couldn't.

She couldn't break down. She couldn't.

She could hear Altair's labored breathing.

Altair recounted Valeri's death, describing how her broken wings had flapped against his arms.

Femeiou also felt it and closed her eyes deeply.

It was very close to Jidi's residence.

Femeiou paused.

"Altaïr, put Valerie in your bag."

Altair's voice croaked.

"My bag isn't big enough... for Valerie."

"Find a way to fit it in. If you can't do it, let me do it."

Femeiou clenched her hands.

"We need to split into two groups and proceed simultaneously... You take Valerie out of the palace to find Musa, and I'll go rescue Loretta. At the very least, get the message out. Follow this road, turn left, and go straight ahead. You'll reach the palace exit."

Altair stared at Femeiou absentmindedly. He knew he was no match for Femeiou, and that following Femeiou's advice was the best option.

He took off his coat.

"That's too slow... I'm from the Eagle Clan, Femei'o... Wait for me, I fly very fast. You and Valerie, wait for me. I'll spread the word, and then I'll come back and help you rescue Loretta."

Altair had never been so decisive.

He quickly changed back to his original form and flew away. It was the first time that Femei saw Altair's original form. She stared at Altair flying away, feeling a little helpless for a moment.

But she had to think of something, or she wouldn't be able to hold on until Altair returned.

"Take Loretta out... If Gidi doesn't know we know now, he might let Loretta go. Loretta is Musa's daughter, Gidi wouldn't dare... That's what Valerie said."

Femei'o murmured. Her mind was racing. She felt Loretta was safe now, but knowing Valerie's death... Loretta would be devastated.

She didn't think this was an act of the king's will. Valeri was also very important to Musa, and even if the king knew that Valeri was working for the resistance organization, he would not act rashly.

It was that rubbish Jidi who did it, so recklessly and without warning.

Why is life so light?

Femeiou lowered her head unconsciously. She knew that Valerie was a female eagle with heavy wings, but she could not feel the weight in her arms.

She saw it.

Blood, limp wings. Gray, clouded eyes. Valerie's eyes.

Half her body was numb. She couldn't feel temperature or weight. Her arm could only maintain one movement; she couldn't straighten it.

"...Femeiou, Feimeiou!"

When Femeiou came back to his senses, Altair had returned.

He changed back into human form.

Altair pointed at her nose.

"Blood!"

Femeiou touched his nose with his free hand.

bleeding.

Femeiou didn't bother to stop the bleeding, she hurriedly asked why Altair came back.

Altair's face looked grim and he was staggering.

"After we entered the palace, martial law was imposed. No one could leave without the permission of the royal family."

Femeiou stood silently, looking at her nosebleed on the ground for a while, then turned to Altair.

"That's the reason! My nose is bleeding, and I need Loretta to take me back to the estate. I need to leave the palace. If Gidi didn't know we knew what he had done, he would agree.

Altair, wipe the tears from your face, follow me, and don't make any noise.

Hide Valerie. If it doesn't fit in your schoolbag, put it in your coat. Don't let Loretta see it, and don't let Gide see it...Altaïr, if Loretta is to survive, we all have to get out alive. If we can go back, Altaïr, I'll play princess games with you forever.

If you can't get out, Altaïr, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are the best eagle I know and you are my most important friend."

"We can get out! Feimei, don't say that—don't say that."

Altair wiped his face with his dirty sleeve. His eyes were filled with fear, his face was as pale as if frozen, and his body was covered in dirt, which he had rubbed against the ground when he fell.

He hid Valerie in his coat, and he crossed his arms, looking like he was hugging himself, but in fact he was hugging Valerie.

Febio took a deep breath. She punched herself mercilessly.

The blood from her nose flowed faster, and she smeared the blood on her body, looking particularly terrifying.

Femeiou spoke.

"Altaïr, we're going to push open that door."

"...Okay. I'm ready."

"Altaïr, I don't regret coming to Lanier. I'm really glad to have met you."

"Me too, Fermione, me too."

Altair spoke softly. His courage and wit had already been used up, and now, just keeping himself standing was draining away his remaining strength.

Femei'o opened the door of Giddy's residence.

The confrontation she expected did not happen. The people guarding the door were Gidi's subordinates, and they did not allow her and Altaïr to go find Loretta.

Feimei'ou started begging, then threatened.

The guards stood still.

Femeiou even suspected that Loretta had met with an accident.

Femeiou held Altair's hand tightly and whispered to him.

"Altaïr, let's force our way in. If I don't force my way in, you can fly, right? Create chaos, the more chaos, the better.

One, two, three. Go.

Femei'o rushed towards the eagle that was blocking her, bumping into many guards while she kept shouting.

"Loretta! Loretta! Loretta—"

Altair shouted along with her.

By the end of his shouting, Altair felt like vomiting again. What would he do if Loretta was also... like Valerie?

Femeiou turned her head.

Her words came out quickly and brokenly.

"If Loretta is like Valerie, take them and go first. I'm going to kill him—I'm going to kill him."

……

Loretta heard the commotion outside.

She and Gidi have almost finalized the cooperation talks.

She had come to an agreement with Gidi at a young age. Although Gidi was the king's chosen successor, the king was not close to any of his children, and Gidi rarely saw his father.

Therefore, the king did not know how thin and small Jidi's original form was.

Such a thin prince is not capable of being a good person. In all major events, Jidi would ask her for help. This way, she would not be pointed out to a new fiancé, and Jidi would not dare to do anything to her. In a sense, she and Jidi had the closest common interests.

She has a large body and strong wings, like Musa.

Whenever she needed to use her true form to compete or perform in front of the public, she would disguise herself as Gidi. Musa didn't know about this, and Valerie knew about it, but she didn't stop her or confront her about it.

Loretta enjoyed the moment of being disguised as Gideon. She could show her strength without reservation, and the king's praise, the humiliation of her opponents and the applause of the people all belonged to her.

She had a secret pleasure.

Gidi couldn't live without her, Gidi needed her, so she was sure that Gidi wouldn't dare to hurt her, so she could let Valerie bring Femeiou and Altair to the palace to play without worry.

But just now, she seemed to hear the voices of Femeiou and Altair?

Loretta frowned slightly.

She turned to look at Giddy.

"You'd better not have done anything. They are my friends. If you are rude to my friends, I will cancel our cooperation."

Giddy raised an eyebrow.

"Your friends? Those two little followers? I didn't touch them. To be honest, Loretta, there's no need for me to invite you to the palace just to discuss cooperation. I've prepared a big gift for you—"

Jidi's expression was very strange.

Loretta felt a little uneasy. She opened the door and saw Femeiou and Altair rushing in.

"stop!"

Loretta stopped Gideon's men. Gideon didn't stop them. He watched the situation unfold with great interest.

Loretta noticed the state and expressions of Phoebe and Altair.

She frowned as she looked at the blood-soaked Femeiou and the dusty and unsteady Altair.

"What's wrong with you? Did Jidi bully you?..."

Femeiou pounced on Loretta.

"You're still alive. Loretta, tell Gidi I have a nosebleed and it's serious. Come with us out of the palace."

Loretta sensed something in Febio's words. She turned around and saw Giddy grinning in the distance.

Her heart was beating fast.

"Where's Valerie? Femei'o, where's Valerie?"

Febio closed her eyes. She wished Loretta were stupid.

Loretta's hands began to shake, but her face showed no sign of it.

"Speak up? Femeiou, Altair, what do you mean I'm still alive? Who's dead? Where's Valerie? I want to see her, I want to find her, let's go find her—"

"Here I am."

Altair lowered his head, he felt like the world was torn in two and now he was in hell.

Loretta walked towards Altair step by step.

The look on her face was horrifying.

Altair wordlessly opened his coat.

Loretta was prepared, but when she saw Valerie's body, she still staggered violently. She touched Valerie's warmth with her fingertips in disbelief.

The warmth was Altair's body temperature.

Valerie's gray eyes were cold.

Loretta froze.

It turns out that people don't cry when they are extremely sad. Loretta collapsed. Fermione supported her in time, but Loretta didn't feel anything.

After a long moment, Loretta finally spoke.

"I can't feel my arms and legs. I can't breathe, Femeiou, I can't stand up."

Felicia hadn't cried the whole time. But when she heard Loretta's words, for some reason, her eyes stung, and she wanted to cry. She wanted to cry loudly.

But she can't.

She supported Loretta silently until she was exhausted and covered her heart with her hands, half-knelt on the ground.

Femmeo heard a low tearing sound, like the desperate sound of a throat being torn open just before vomiting.

It was very thin, like a needle piercing her spine.

She didn't even know how to comfort Loretta, who couldn't even cry out loud.

Time became so long.

After a long time, Loretta slowly stood up. As if she suddenly thought of something, she eagerly snatched Valerie from Altair's arms and wrapped her in her coat.

"There's still room. Femeiou, Altair, leave me alone and get out of here now. I... I might not be able to leave with you. Thank you."

"Loretta! Don't be impulsive. Altair and I came back to save you. Loretta, come with us!"

"No. He won't let us all go. You are the ones who know, and you can only leave if I'm here. I'm not impulsive. I know what I'm doing. Get out of here, now."

After saying her last words, Loretta turned and left without hesitation.

She looked up at Giddy, her face expressionless.

"We need to talk."

Giddy shrugged.

"Of course, but your henchmen have to stay here."

Loretta glanced at Femeiou silently. She didn't know if Femeiou and she had a tacit understanding, but now, she had no choice.

Loretta said coldly.

"It doesn't matter."

Giddy smiled.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Do you like the gift I prepared for you?"

The door slowly closed.

Loretta looked at Giddy leaning against the door, and she felt as if her heart was cut in two by a knife.

At one point, she nearly suffocated.

She choked up as she opened her mouth.

"You—why, what gives you the right to do this!?"

Jidi looked at her calmly, thinking she was a little unreasonable.

"Loretta, you know how foolish it is to be associated with a key member of a rebel organization. I wanted to relieve my father's worries and rescue you at the same time. Your mother doesn't know either, right? Even if she knew, she wouldn't be able to do anything. Your little nanny is a real reactionary. Her death would be better for everyone. It would be worth asking you to come here.

You're welcome, Loretta. As your partner, your future husband, I will take care of your problems and ensure you're completely safe from your father's suspicion and dislike.

I know she's been with you for a long time, but she's just a babysitter. You can be sad for a while, but not for too long. I don't want this to become a thorn between us, Loretta. I'm saving you."

Loretta said nothing.

She raised her head slightly, revealing a somewhat fragile expression.

"Can I lean on your shoulder?"

Giddy laughed.

"Of course. Loretta, you're like a real hawk in times like this. I love it."

Gideon approached Loretta, completely defenseless. He didn't think Loretta could do anything to him. This was the palace, and he was the future king. Most importantly, he was a noble eagle, Loretta's future husband.

He never felt that Loretta could hurt him. Loretta couldn't.

however.

There was a pop.

Jidi felt a chill in his heart, followed by an uncontrollable pain.

He looked at Loretta in disbelief, and just as he was about to scream, Loretta covered his mouth tightly.

Loretta did all this calmly, stabbing the dagger through Giddy's heart and then turning the handle.

She heard the sound of her heart breaking. She always carried a knife with her when she was alone with Giddy. But she never thought she would actually need to use it.

She looked at Jidi indifferently.

"Why don't you thank me? I'm helping you too. Jidi, an eagle like you... is worse off dead than alive."
