Chapter 1226.1: Under the Throne
Su Xiao carried Eliza Herbert, who already had tears in her eyes, down the stairs. She was very uncooperative at first, but when a short sword was placed on her neck, Su Xiao's charisma immediately skyrocketed from 9 points to 90 points, and she agreed to all the demands.
After taking out the Eye of the Apostle, he decided to check her stats, and with the exception of her rather high charisma, her other stats weren't worth mentioning.

Skill 1. Royal Blood (Level 10; Passive). Stamina +10; Charisma +10; Elegant manners.
Skill 2. Call for help (Level 12; Active). If Eliza Herbert asks for help in the kingdom's capital, there is a 70% chance of engaging the capital's security forces and a 100% chance of summoning the Guardian Knight Goss.
Skill 3. Erudition (Level 29; Passive). Eliza Herbert speaks several languages and has independently studied herbology from books.
In terms of strength, Eliza Herbert was so weak that Su Xiao could kill her with a simple wave of his hand.
It was indeed very weak, but its guardian knight had quite good stats and would be able to bear the brunt of exploring the territory under the throne.
Su Xiao only needed Eliza Herbert to open some mechanism under the throne. He didn't need her as some sort of assistant at all. As for her personality, as long as she wasn't very bad, he didn't care about her.
Compared to other princes or princesses, Eliza Herbert was undoubtedly the best choice. She had a meat shield under her command and was very weak herself. If such a princess enters the throne together with Su Xiao, then whether she lives or goes to the next world will depend on Su Xiao.
Su Xiao was sitting in the living room, with Eliza Herbert sitting next to him with a bandage around her neck. With his short sword, Su Xiao had killed many creatures, and since they were often very strong, just a simple light touch of such a short sword with Elise's neck caused a scratch to appear on her neck.
Goss was furious about it, but there was nothing he could do. Both the previous and new king allowed Su Xiao to take control of Elise.
This was very different from just asking for help. Since he was allowed to take control of her, even if she ended up dying, the royal family wouldn't say anything about it. Even if he decided to attack her innocence and it eventually became known, the third prince would only say something like, " I didn't expect the Iron Hand to have such exquisite taste».
Yes, that was exactly the situation Eliza Herbert was in right now.
— How could His Majesty give the go — ahead to such an absurd order..." Even though he was very angry right now, he couldn't voice his grievances out loud.
This mistress and her servant didn't seem to be paying attention to what was happening outside. Given the current undercurrents that were raging in the capital, who would even care about the life or death of an arrogant holy warrior and a useless princess?
— That's all. Your task is to come down with me to the throne. You don't have the right to refuse, " Su Xiao said and stood up. Since he didn't know how long this trip would take, he wanted to get there as soon as possible.
— Then I'll start preparing, " Eliza Herbert replied, realizing the situation. She had two options. The first is to descend under the throne with an Iron Hand. In this case, she had a high chance of survival, because Iron Hand needed someone who could open the way back in case of anything..
If she refuses… The result was obvious.
— No time to prepare. We'll go right now.
— So... quickly.
Eliza Herbert did not want to take her luggage with things and food, but wanted to take with her a few books from her collection. Not only was this princess useless, but she was also a bore.
And no, she wasn't hungry for knowledge, she was just too bored and afraid to go out, so all she could do was sit at home and read books to pass the time.
Su Xiao walked out of the house. Eliza Herbert hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed him. Goss followed closely behind her, but he kept his eyes on Su Xiao's back, and he looked at him with a very displeased, hostile look.
