Chapter 56 third chapter
"The king has an order to arrest Nex Xiulizhe in accordance with Article 89 of the special wartime order. He must be taken into custody urgently by any means and arrested. If anyone protects or hides Nex Xiulizhe , is regarded as a traitor to the king. Immediately go to Earl Shulizhe’s house, seize all documents and property, and freeze all real estate and rights of the earl’s house and its collateral families indefinitely. Act now!”
"yes!"
This is the order shouted by the captains of the Palace Guard.But I was still listless, looking down at all this from the balcony with a blank face.
In autumn, the palace is still in full bloom, and the scenery is so beautiful.Flowers and leaves fluttering in the autumn wind adorn the gray stone walls of the palace even more beautifully.But in the face of these charming scenery, all I think of in my heart are some things that kill the scenery!
On the way to the palace, the momentary scene I saw was still dizzy in my mind.
Shan Sen’s anxious face, looking at the townspeople whose eyeballs are about to fall out, the galloping horses, the strong wind that stings across my face, and then Ghisien who led us in directly, and we were The scene brought to the second floor, those urgent and fast words came to my ears one after another, but I don't remember anything or words.In every moment like that, what I can't get out of my mind are the scattered corpses trampled by horses, the ground soaked with blood, and the geometric shapes left between the stones paved on the road. Like blood, the blood that flows straight down and then bends out at right angles, reflects the appearance of Nex running in the blood, his hideous face, and his ruthless smile that does not belong to human beings.Apart from these, I couldn't see anything, the sky was blindingly white, ah, no, it was a blur of milky white, and I could only see Nex's face.He is laughing.He is laughing?
Someone stroked my hair.
"You messy hair!"
It's Nelia.I turned my head to look at Nelia, who had a bright smile.It was the first time in my life I saw this kind of smile, but I can immediately make the same smile.
"Because I used to run..."
Nelia nodded after listening to my answer, spread her fingers like a rake, and combed my hair.I quietly grabbed her hand.
"It's okay, Nelia."
Nelia clasped her hands together and looked up at my face.She suddenly grabbed my arm and said, "Go in, Xiuqi, Lord Harshtel said he will explain everything."
"Ok!"
I turned from the balcony and entered the room.This is the conference room on the third floor of the imperial palace. A group of people in the conference room are sitting in different postures.There are doors around some rooms.I managed to remember that those rooms were assigned to us just now as our dormitories.I looked around at everyone sitting at the table.
Carl had a serious face and sat upright at the table in the center of the meeting room, while Shan Sen and Ai Saihande also sat around the table.But Alvned was exhausted from performing the magic on the horse just now, and sat on the rocking chair with armrests, as if he was about to fall to the ground.
Karl said to him, "Are you all right, Alvned?"
"Ah, yes, I'm sorry, it's my lack of ability."
"You must not say that. If not you, who else can stop Nex?"
Alfred smiled sheepishly.
I turned my head and looked across the table.Giseon sat with Marquis Harshtel.As soon as Ghisien saw me, he raised his hand and waved to me.After paying attention to him, I sat down at the table.Nelia sat down next to me.
The Marquis of Harshtel spoke.
"I am very grateful for your hard work."
Carl smiled awkwardly when he heard this.What have we done to Lord Harshtel?It just ruined his home.Harshtel seemed to want to show a sense of humor, but we all lowered our heads in embarrassment when he said this from a face that didn't feel the slightest sense of humor.
The Marquis of Harshtel continued to say coldly: "Although it is a bit strange to say that you have worked hard, it still helps us to some extent."
"Can you explain it to us?"
"of course can."
The Marquis first patted the creases on the gorgeous sleeves, then gently raised his hands, making gestures while explaining.
"As you all know, Nexus Shulizhe has been manipulating the Thieves Guild. He has always been full of desire to restore the lost family glory. After the death of his uncle Kamu Shulizhe, Klad Meso The harm done to central woodlands is beyond words."
"we know."
"That's right. In any case, Earl Shulizhe's family lost a lot of status and rights because of this. Fortunately, their family has always been loyal to the Byzos Kingdom in the past years. His Majesty the King is grateful for this and bestows Long En, so as not to lose the status of earl, but in the end Rone Xiulizhe ended up no different from the civilians in the army. This general who can be descended from their famous family was actually sent to a territory like yours, and It's not the territory at the forefront of the Jeppen War, so you can know a thing or two."
Your kind of territory?snort!What happened to our Hetante territory?His Majesty the King once looked down upon our territory so much, and now the Marquis of Harshtel is also speaking with sarcasm.Hey, haven't you people heard what King Lutanio said!The king is the knight among the knights, the servant of all!A king is not a knight who simply obeys a noble lady, but a knight who obeys thousands of people. As for the king's natural followers, that is, the nobles, they are very low-level people compared with us common people!But Karl still listened to the words of Marquis Harshtel with a blank face.
The Marquis of Harshtel continued to speak in his unemotional and stern tone: "Unfortunately, the rebellious character is probably a tradition in their family. Nex Xiulizhe even started to pretend to be Eddie. The appearance of Priest Broy was something that no one expected at the time. Perhaps it was also because of this that Earl Rone Shulitz saw that his child had nothing to look forward to, so he wanted to use his own power to make the family The honor came back again, so he joined the Amtarite crusade."
"So that's how it is..."
"That's it. But although Nex disappointed his father very much and became Edbroy's priest at home, in my opinion, there still seems to be something in his heart that he can't let go of. So I have been paying attention to him He is not suitable to be a priest. Maybe other people can't see it, but I know very well that he is a person with stronger ambitions than his father. Maybe he is a priest practicing at home in Edbroy In order to hide his ambition... I had this idea at the time."
"yes?"
"Yes. So I paid special attention to him on purpose. Unfortunately, my vision was accurate. His father went straight to the front line of the war with a sword on his shoulders, in order to recover the honor of the family. Respected soldier. But Nex is looking for a bigger goal than restoring the family's reputation, he is so disrespectful that he seems to be coveting the throne of the king!"
Everyone seemed to have heard Marquis Harshtel's voice raised at the same time. He continued with a cold tone: "Although I don't know when he started doing it quietly, but Nex is indeed already controlling the Thieves Guild in the Byzos Imperial City. Of course, their strength is not enough to establish and will do it." A rebellious army, but a very dangerous force for Byzos, who is at war with the enemy country." Heavy breathing came from Shan Sen.Could it be said that in the Byzos Kingdom, which is at war with an enemy country, just a Thieves Guild can overthrow the country in one fell swoop?Ok.His words seemed to have ulterior motives.Carl once said the same thing: "In war, anything can happen." "There's also a second point, that Nex has attempted to cooperate with Jeppen." "Sure enough!" Gissien spoke.Once, at Lake Reborgne, Karl guessed the same way.Carl hit the nail on the head again.Outside, you can join forces with Jeppen to attack, and inside, you can control the inside through the Thieves Guild.This is his rebellion plan!We all stared at Lord Harshtel with bated breath.The Marquis still said coldly: "Fortunately, I have captured the emissary sent by Nex to Jeppen. Nex is a priest practicing at home in Edbroy, and of course the person he appoints can easily pass through the border. .But he may not know who is suspicious of him, so watch his every move. I don't know if you have heard, but my son Tolman is fighting with Kigored on the front line of the war." "Yes, we have." ah ah!This man named Tolman seems to be the adopted son of Marquis Harshtel just like Dietrich, right?Is he now at the Battle of Jeppen with a dragon named Kigored?The Marquis of Harshtel continued: "Well. After my son received my secret order, he arrested Nex's emissary. I was surprised by the book found on the emissary. Remember Right! It’s the book you took away from my house.” We nodded again.For the first time, a faint smile appeared on Marquis Harshtel's face.Wow, that would put a smile on your face too!But it was a cold smile. "Although you will feel uncomfortable listening to it, I'm not blaming you!" "I'm sorry, Lord Marquis." "Don't say that. I have already heard what happened from His Royal Highness Prince Ghisien. I heard that you are here to save your companions? It's really unreasonable. Anyway, the information was obtained, but the emissary Refusing to tell half the truth, he ended up committing suicide." "suicide……" "Yes. At that time, I was really in a dilemma. I didn't know what to do! Because although the information was in my hands, I couldn't prove that it was Nex who was going to hand it over to Jepen. I was suspicious of Nex, I am the only one who continues to be imprisoned, and I have no way to present any evidence to others.” "And what about the bait?" Carl's words were a little weird.But at this moment, Marquis Harshtel raised his eyebrows slightly. "Yeah! You're a very wise man. I spread word that the book was in my house. It's just a small thing. Because it's hard to keep anything secret from the Thieves' Guild, but leak it to them But it's very simple. So no matter which kid comes to find this book, I plan to arrest him and force him to tell the truth that Nex is a traitor." At this moment, a rare smile appeared on Marquis Harshtel's face. "That time when you came to look for me during the day, I thought you might be Nex's accomplices." Carl blushed all of a sudden, but it was much better than mine.The Marquis of Harshtel gave me a smile that gave me goosebumps all over my body.Uh oh my god! "Your disguise is very impressive! Beautiful boy." Nelia opened her eyes wide in surprise, while mine closed them tightly.Oh, Yubinie!The Marquis of Harshtel turned to Karl again and said, "But Karl, your acting skills are top-notch. It made me think you were just a bunch of homeless people, and even made me feel very unhappy. Your acting skills are really good." "In this way, I really can't thank you for your compliment." "I think so. And, besides, you went to my mansion and made a scene." "Once again, I sincerely apologize to you." "Forget it. It's not thanks to you that Nex had to reveal his true colors. Because that document is too important to him, Nex had no choice but to cause the commotion on the main road." "Important information..." "That's right. It seems that Nix presented that document as a gift to Jeppen in order to establish a complete trust relationship with Jeppen. Anyway, let Jeppen win this victory, and then they will The family ruled the country. It should be understandable, right?" "I see." "Okay. Anyway, I must come to commend your contributions. On behalf of all the officials and ministers of His Majesty the King, I pay my respects." The Marquis of Harshtel also solemnly made a staring salute.We nodded hastily in return.At this time, Karl said: "What will Nex Shulizhe be dealt with? And the Temple of the Great Storm..." The Marquis of Harshtel nodded and said: "Of course Nex will be sentenced, and he will be arrested on the charge of rebellion. As for the use of such rebels as priests by the Great Storm Temple, it is reasonable to accept punishment, but those who don't know The political circle has always respected the domain of theocratic power traditionally. And people in the domain of theocratic power will not interfere with politics. So there should be no punishment.” "That's right. But there is one more thing I'm very curious about. It's about Rone Shulich. His Majesty the King once said that he would help raise gems for Amtat, but Rone Shulich belongs to the rebels. Father, isn't it?" "Although this is the case, he is not the only prisoner captured by Amtat. So you don't need to worry too much about this matter, His Majesty will naturally make a decision." "Is that so? We know." "Then please go to rest. His Majesty the King will notify you soon and greet you personally." Lord Harshtel got up from his seat, and we all stood up too.The Marquis paid his attention lightly, and walked out without saying anything.We sat down again to discuss.Carl said, as soon as he sat down, "So that's what happened. Really!" Gissien nodded. "That's right, that file turned out to be Nex..." Alvned, who fell on the chair, went on to say: "Ah, so that's the case. No wonder we saw through our deception so quickly. That's the book he wrote himself!" Everyone nodded.Carl took a deep breath and put his hands on his waist. "Yeah. Nex's matter is settled after all. Now it's time to think about our matter." "Our business?" "That's right. It's just to find the red-haired girl. Although we accidentally caught a rebel and got some gains, it didn't make us any closer to the target we were looking for!" Gishon nodded.Damn, from this point of view, this time, I accidentally did something that only benefited His Majesty the King.When can we do our own thing?Nelia said with a worried face: "It will be twice as difficult as it is now, alas..." "What does that mean, Nelia?" "I heard that everyone in the Thieves Guild has fierce eyes and wants to catch us and eat us, Uncle Karl." "Of course they will be very angry, but there is really nothing to do!" At this time, Nelia walked towards Karl with a smirk, and suddenly hugged Karl's neck, and Karl was terrified. "Uh uh uh?" "Still, I really do thank you very much. I haven't said thank you yet, have I? You have suffered a lot for me. Hmm!" "Oh, uh, how do you..." Nelia kissed Carl.Carl rolled his eyes and smiled awkwardly.Then Nelia turned to look at the rest of us. "Then the next one is..." "I really want to see what the weather is like outside!" Bang, a door slams.Shan Sen ran away first, and I hurriedly followed behind him and ran out of the room. "I want to see it too!" Nelia laughed from behind.
The servants in the palace looked at my whole body with surprised eyes.I ran all the way into the courtyard. Shan Sen sat under a tree in a corner of the courtyard.I also sat down beside him. Shan Sen said sullenly: "Hey, we have been involved in an unusual incident." I looked at him, Shan Sen's words seemed to be whining. "I'm not stupid enough to think that the people in the capital are good-hearted people, but I thought they would at least feel that their lives are already rich. Damn, who knew that such a serious thing would happen. These rich people, what? Why are you humiliating yourself like this?" I listened to Shan Sen's words, nodded, and suddenly remembered Carl's words. "Do you want to lure Amtat here?" Shan Sen's eyes widened when he heard what I said as if he was talking to himself. "What did you say?" "I mean, in this way, at least there will be no thoughts of entanglement and struggle with each other." "Huh? This is the fallacy of that school. It really belongs to you." "It doesn't make sense?" "Whether it's fighting each other or confronting Amtat, it doesn't make sense." Is it like this?While I was still thinking about this question, Shan Sen was already lying on the ground.He scratched his scalp with an expression of a tall man supporting the falling sky, and then he suddenly chuckled. "that is really good." "what?" "You can still lie on the grass in this season." "Ouch. You ogre! But it's a good thing to say! We should thank Princess Demi." "Understood. That! Thank you, Princess Daimei... Well, Xiu Qi, tell me." "Okay, what's so difficult about it? I'm going to start. In the western sky before the sun sets, the cool wind blows gently across the lake, and the strings plucked by the beautiful woman's slender hands are lingering in the ears, in the tall leaves On it, the shining night dew rolls, dedicating all these beauties to Her Royal Highness Princess Demerenas." "Not bad. Hahaha. Then you can sing it formally." I leaned against the tree and looked at the stone wall of the palace.Under the sky in November, the greenery is as green as before, dyeing the stone wall with a touch of dark green. When the strong wind blows, the petals flutter in the air, just like the next pink snowstorm.Beautiful.But, damn it!I don't want to sing for this kind of people in this kind of capital.I sang for Shan Sen.I'm going to sing about real human beings.Listen to what it is to be human. I sing softly: Swords will rust, books will become old, new shoots will sprout in spring, fallen leaves will flutter in the breeze, and all those shiny things will disappear. Songs are like water patterns, and legends are like wind. The beautiful woman's soft lips, despite the time kissed, still did not leave any traces. Pause here for a while, after all, I still leave, and I will not look back after the past, walking blankly on the road without mileage marks, we are all passers-by in this world, but please look back! Look at the flowers blooming on the desolate path that was passing by then! Take it off and sing! Dedicated to fifty children and Archmage Ferrell! The hour of dawn when the stars fade. Archmage Ferrell opened his eyes, He could see even in the pitch-black void. More mysterious than magic, more poignant than myth, the fifty children he loved. At the moment when the sun shines the most beautiful light, Archmage Ferrer laughed, jumped, ran, cried, laughed, sang, shouted, the children came back, they sang on their arms, the song Wrapped around the ear. The setting sun and the darkness meet, and when the boundary is unclear, Archmage Ferrer will beckon, and the children run back, darkness covers the earth, and the wind in the dark night is full of children's laughter. Spread out faintly, slowly drifting away. Lulu, lululu, lulululu... Spread out faintly, slowly drifting away. La la la la la la la la la…… The passer-by turned and walked towards the dark night again. Although the countless steps every day are endless, the singing is still lingering in my ears. The beautiful singing of fifty children. Lulu, lululu, lulululu... La la la la la la la la la…… "Lulu, lululu, lulululu..." Is Shan Sen crazy?No, how could Shan Sen make a girl's voice?It sounded like Princess Demi's.Shan Sen stood up in a hurry and broke the short branch above his head. Of course his head was fine.Is he really an ogre? "Dai, Your Highness Princess Daimei, hello." I also subconsciously stood up.In front of my eyes was a thin and tall princess in a shabby overalls, the pockets of which were filled with all kinds of sundries, and holding scissors for pruning flowers and plants.Her Royal Highness Princess Demi looked at us with a smile. "This is the first time I've heard such a song in my life in the palace!" "Actually, to tell you the truth, both the princess and Shan Sen are the first to hear this song." "What, is that so? What an honor. What about this song?" "I just made a song. I'm so sorry for making a lot of noise here..." "No. It's okay. What I said just now is that I can sing happily without any accompaniment. This is the first time I've heard such a song. Have you ever heard court music? It's so easy to get bored to the point of thinking Doze off." "Is it boring enough to doze off? Ah, yes." Shan Sen looked at me with surprised eyes.That is a look of how you are not afraid of talking to the princess unscrupulously like this.Ugh!So I'm crazy?The princess smiled and walked towards Shan Sen.Shan Sen backed away in a panic, while the princess bent down and picked up the broken branch of Shan Sen. The princess took out the cloth and rope from the pocket of her overalls, and then put the branch back where it had been broken, wrapped it in the cloth, and tied it with the rope.Shan Sen said embarrassedly: "Ah, I'm sorry. I see, it won't heal if you do it like that." The princess smiled happily while tying the rope.After the rope was tied firmly, the princess put her hands together. Is she praying?The princess muttered something, and a light began to shine between her hands. Shansen and I looked at the princess from ear to ear in fright. Her Royal Highness Princess Demi placed her glowing hands on the cloth wrapped around the branches.Princess Demi touched it lightly, and as soon as she moved her hand away, the light disappeared from the princess's hand, and the tree emitted light at this moment.Not long after, that ray of light gradually weakened. By the way, the princess is a lay priest of Asses.What an eye-opener. "It should be fine now." "Ah, yes. It's okay." Princess Demi stood with her hands in the pockets of her overalls and looked at us.It really doesn't look like a princess at all.The princess smiled and said: "thank you all." "Huh? What?" "Thanks to you, I don't need to marry anymore." Shan Sen opened his mouth wide, with an expression of not knowing the situation.But I couldn't stand it and burst out laughing. correct.His Majesty King Nissien once said that Princess Demi would be married to Higmonia to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes on the northern highway.This is to reduce the price of salt.But Karl had told His Majesty then that it would not work. "I'm sorry... for ruining your marriage." "No. I didn't want to marry in the first place. It would be cruel to ask me to marry someone I've never met." Princess Demi opened her arms and pointed around. "Also, leaving this garden and going to the far northern lands makes me tremble with fear. Thank you very much." "Is that so? Well, in that case, you don't need to thank us. That was suggested by Karl who was traveling with us." "Is that so? Then I should thank Mr. Karl. He must be here too?" "yes." "Even if he's not here, I'm going to find him. Will you show me the way?" "Ah? Yes, as ordered." Princess Demei walked over slowly.I really can't imagine what she would look like if she put on a dress and walked with this pace.The princess walked over dejectedly and slowly, dragging her pace in the most suitable overalls. Some palace servants also followed us in a panic.In a short time, a whole squad of palace servants followed Princess Demi.What's going on?Shansen and I looked behind Princess Daimei in surprise.Ah, it turned out to be the princess' entourage!Princess Demi turned around, frowned and said, "My pockets are very strong." "Huh?" One of the palace servants replied in a daze.Princess Demi was so angry that she was about to stutter, and she slowly replied: "Nothing will be missed. So you will not pick up anything if you follow me." In order to hold back the laughter that was about to burst, Shan Sen and I covered our mouths desperately.The palace attendant opened his mouth wide, glanced at the princess, and shouted in a very wronged voice: "Your Highness!" "Go away and go about your own business." But they had no intention of leaving at all, and they still followed Princess Demei.Princess Demi pouted and followed us quietly.Wait a minute, what does this look like?The servants of the palace are the servants of the princess, but the princess follows us, doesn't she?Hehe, it's so fun. As soon as we got to the room, the palace servants hurried to the door and stood up to open the door for us.This is of course not for us, but for Her Royal Highness.hum.The princess shrugged her shoulders and went into the room, and we followed. Karl in the room was still looking at the ceiling with a headache, and Esaihand looked at Karl with a very troubled look.Nelia was arguing for Alvned, who had slumped in the armchair, and Ghisien was the first to hear the door open.Githion knew that we would come back, so he nodded to us naturally, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted happily: "Ah, who is this? Demi!" Princess Daimei didn't realize it for a while, she looked at Ghisien stupidly.She doesn't seem to know that Githion is with us.Yes, how could there be such a coincidence.Princess Demi immediately screamed out. "elder brother!" Princess Demi rushed forward and hugged Ghisien.Ghisien lifted Princess Demi high in one breath, but he couldn't breathe immediately. "Uh. It's different from six years ago." Princess Demi didn't care about anything, she put her face on Ghisien's chest and rubbed desperately.She said: "Yeah, um. I've grown up. Huh, you're too much. It's too much for me to grow up and not show up even once! You didn't see any of my growing up, Isn't it?" With a warm smile on his face, Ghisien caressed Princess Demi along her hair. "If I had participated, maybe I wouldn't be so surprised. Is it surprising that you have grown so big all of a sudden? Haha. Really beautiful." "Hmm...brother..."
It took a while for Princess Demei to recover and calm down.But she has stayed with Ghisien and never left.Princess Demi held Gishien's hand tightly and greeted Karl. "I have heard your stories. His Majesty the King has asked me to greet you in his place." "yes?" "Yes. Originally, His Majesty the King should pay his respects in person, but he couldn't come because he was busy with Nex's follow-up." Humph.So what she said seemed to mean that for what we do, it is enough for the marquis of the nobles of the palace and the princess of the high-ranking royal family to pay their respects.Therefore, His Majesty the King appointed none other than Her Royal Highness the Princess.We are great.But when you think about it, Princess Demi is even greater.She clearly knew what His Majesty's intentions were, but she still staggered over in her overalls. Carl smiled happily and said, "We just did what the people should do." Princess Demei accepted Karl's humility with a sweet smile, and expressed her praise again, but did not respond to some polite words. "His Majesty the King will receive you in the solemn hall tomorrow." Carl was taken aback. "Yes, the solemn hall? Wow, my God. The civil and military officials just..." "Everyone will come in formal attire, right?" All of us were in a state of bewilderment.Shan Sen was in an unconscious state.There seems to be a saying that says: For a soldier, it is a supreme honor to kneel down and meet His Majesty the King in the solemn hall.Carl said with a frightened expression, "I don't think it's necessary." "The so-called times make heroes, and the country needs warriors." Princess Demi's brief response made Carl's face sullen. "Is that so...really." No, no, no!what a real!Carl made another mistake in front of the princess!Alvned nearly rolled out of his chair.But Princess Daimei still smiled sweetly and said: "Although it will make you feel uncomfortable, please don't take offense. Your righteous deeds must be made public. The commotion on the road must be publicly explained...so Please be patient for now, it won't take too long." "We know. Uh. But what if there's no gown?" "It will be ready for everyone early tomorrow morning. Her Royal Highness has not yet entered the palace, so I will be responsible for the internal affairs of the palace." I burst out laughing.Isn't the internal affairs of the palace the responsibility of the palace servants?Carl nodded.Princess Daimei continued: "Although this is not an official public matter, I thank you personally." "what?" "Thank you. Thanks to you, I don't have to leave the country." "What... ah, you mean Higmonia?" "That's right. Thank you." Carl replied happily with a smile: "You're welcome, Your Highness. That matter was just a suggestion to protect our country's commercial interests. It was not a suggestion made specifically for Your Highness."
Everyone seemed to have heard Marquis Harshtel's voice raised at the same time. He continued with a cold tone: "Although I don't know when he started doing it quietly, but Nex is indeed already controlling the Thieves Guild in the Byzos Imperial City. Of course, their strength is not enough to establish and will do it." A rebellious army, but a very dangerous force for Byzos, who is at war with the enemy country." Heavy breathing came from Shan Sen.Could it be said that in the Byzos Kingdom, which is at war with an enemy country, just a Thieves Guild can overthrow the country in one fell swoop?Ok.His words seemed to have ulterior motives.Carl once said the same thing: "In war, anything can happen."

The Marquis of Harshtel also solemnly made a staring salute.We nodded hastily in return.At this time, Karl said: "What will Nex Shulizhe be dealt with? And the Temple of the Great Storm..." The Marquis of Harshtel nodded and said: "Of course Nex will be sentenced, and he will be arrested on the charge of rebellion. As for the use of such rebels as priests by the Great Storm Temple, it is reasonable to accept punishment, but those who don't know The political circle has always respected the domain of theocratic power traditionally. And people in the domain of theocratic power will not interfere with politics. So there should be no punishment.” "That's right. But there is one more thing I'm very curious about. It's about Rone Shulich. His Majesty the King once said that he would help raise gems for Amtat, but Rone Shulich belongs to the rebels. Father, isn't it?" "Although this is the case, he is not the only prisoner captured by Amtat. So you don't need to worry too much about this matter, His Majesty will naturally make a decision." "Is that so? We know." "Then please go to rest. His Majesty the King will notify you soon and greet you personally." Lord Harshtel got up from his seat, and we all stood up too.The Marquis paid his attention lightly, and walked out without saying anything.We sat down again to discuss.Carl said, as soon as he sat down, "So that's what happened. Really!" Gissien nodded. "That's right, that file turned out to be Nex..." Alvned, who fell on the chair, went on to say: "Ah, so that's the case. No wonder we saw through our deception so quickly. That's the book he wrote himself!" Everyone nodded.Carl took a deep breath and put his hands on his waist. "Yeah. Nex's matter is settled after all. Now it's time to think about our matter." "Our business?" "That's right. It's just to find the red-haired girl. Although we accidentally caught a rebel and got some gains, it didn't make us any closer to the target we were looking for!" Gishon nodded.Damn, from this point of view, this time, I accidentally did something that only benefited His Majesty the King.When can we do our own thing?Nelia said with a worried face: "It will be twice as difficult as it is now, alas..." "What does that mean, Nelia?" "I heard that everyone in the Thieves Guild has fierce eyes and wants to catch us and eat us, Uncle Karl." "Of course they will be very angry, but there is really nothing to do!" At this time, Nelia walked towards Karl with a smirk, and suddenly hugged Karl's neck, and Karl was terrified. "Uh uh uh?" "Still, I really do thank you very much. I haven't said thank you yet, have I? You have suffered a lot for me. Hmm!" "Oh, uh, how do you..." Nelia kissed Carl.Carl rolled his eyes and smiled awkwardly.Then Nelia turned to look at the rest of us. "Then the next one is..." "I really want to see what the weather is like outside!" Bang, a door slams.Shan Sen ran away first, and I hurriedly followed behind him and ran out of the room. "I want to see it too!" Nelia laughed from behind.
The servants in the palace looked at my whole body with surprised eyes.I ran all the way into the courtyard. Shan Sen sat under a tree in a corner of the courtyard.I also sat down beside him. Shan Sen said sullenly: "Hey, we have been involved in an unusual incident." I looked at him, Shan Sen's words seemed to be whining. "I'm not stupid enough to think that the people in the capital are good-hearted people, but I thought they would at least feel that their lives are already rich. Damn, who knew that such a serious thing would happen. These rich people, what? Why are you humiliating yourself like this?" I listened to Shan Sen's words, nodded, and suddenly remembered Carl's words. "Do you want to lure Amtat here?" Shan Sen's eyes widened when he heard what I said as if he was talking to himself. "What did you say?" "I mean, in this way, at least there will be no thoughts of entanglement and struggle with each other." "Huh? This is the fallacy of that school. It really belongs to you." "It doesn't make sense?" "Whether it's fighting each other or confronting Amtat, it doesn't make sense." Is it like this?While I was still thinking about this question, Shan Sen was already lying on the ground.He scratched his scalp with an expression of a tall man supporting the falling sky, and then he suddenly chuckled. "that is really good." "what?" "You can still lie on the grass in this season." "Ouch. You ogre! But it's a good thing to say! We should thank Princess Demi." "Understood. That! Thank you, Princess Daimei... Well, Xiu Qi, tell me." "Okay, what's so difficult about it? I'm going to start. In the western sky before the sun sets, the cool wind blows gently across the lake, and the strings plucked by the beautiful woman's slender hands are lingering in the ears, in the tall leaves On it, the shining night dew rolls, dedicating all these beauties to Her Royal Highness Princess Demerenas." "Not bad. Hahaha. Then you can sing it formally." I leaned against the tree and looked at the stone wall of the palace.Under the sky in November, the greenery is as green as before, dyeing the stone wall with a touch of dark green. When the strong wind blows, the petals flutter in the air, just like the next pink snowstorm.Beautiful.But, damn it!I don't want to sing for this kind of people in this kind of capital.I sang for Shan Sen.I'm going to sing about real human beings.Listen to what it is to be human. I sing softly: Swords will rust, books will become old, new shoots will sprout in spring, fallen leaves will flutter in the breeze, and all those shiny things will disappear. Songs are like water patterns, and legends are like wind. The beautiful woman's soft lips, despite the time kissed, still did not leave any traces. Pause here for a while, after all, I still leave, and I will not look back after the past, walking blankly on the road without mileage marks, we are all passers-by in this world, but please look back! Look at the flowers blooming on the desolate path that was passing by then! Take it off and sing! Dedicated to fifty children and Archmage Ferrell! The hour of dawn when the stars fade. Archmage Ferrell opened his eyes, He could see even in the pitch-black void. More mysterious than magic, more poignant than myth, the fifty children he loved. At the moment when the sun shines the most beautiful light, Archmage Ferrer laughed, jumped, ran, cried, laughed, sang, shouted, the children came back, they sang on their arms, the song Wrapped around the ear. The setting sun and the darkness meet, and when the boundary is unclear, Archmage Ferrer will beckon, and the children run back, darkness covers the earth, and the wind in the dark night is full of children's laughter. Spread out faintly, slowly drifting away. Lulu, lululu, lulululu... Spread out faintly, slowly drifting away. La la la la la la la la la…… The passer-by turned and walked towards the dark night again. Although the countless steps every day are endless, the singing is still lingering in my ears. The beautiful singing of fifty children. Lulu, lululu, lulululu... La la la la la la la la la…… "Lulu, lululu, lulululu..." Is Shan Sen crazy?No, how could Shan Sen make a girl's voice?It sounded like Princess Demi's.Shan Sen stood up in a hurry and broke the short branch above his head. Of course his head was fine.Is he really an ogre? "Dai, Your Highness Princess Daimei, hello." I also subconsciously stood up.In front of my eyes was a thin and tall princess in a shabby overalls, the pockets of which were filled with all kinds of sundries, and holding scissors for pruning flowers and plants.Her Royal Highness Princess Demi looked at us with a smile. "This is the first time I've heard such a song in my life in the palace!" "Actually, to tell you the truth, both the princess and Shan Sen are the first to hear this song." "What, is that so? What an honor. What about this song?" "I just made a song. I'm so sorry for making a lot of noise here..." "No. It's okay. What I said just now is that I can sing happily without any accompaniment. This is the first time I've heard such a song. Have you ever heard court music? It's so easy to get bored to the point of thinking Doze off." "Is it boring enough to doze off? Ah, yes." Shan Sen looked at me with surprised eyes.That is a look of how you are not afraid of talking to the princess unscrupulously like this.Ugh!So I'm crazy?The princess smiled and walked towards Shan Sen.Shan Sen backed away in a panic, while the princess bent down and picked up the broken branch of Shan Sen. The princess took out the cloth and rope from the pocket of her overalls, and then put the branch back where it had been broken, wrapped it in the cloth, and tied it with the rope.Shan Sen said embarrassedly: "Ah, I'm sorry. I see, it won't heal if you do it like that." The princess smiled happily while tying the rope.After the rope was tied firmly, the princess put her hands together. Is she praying?The princess muttered something, and a light began to shine between her hands. Shansen and I looked at the princess from ear to ear in fright. Her Royal Highness Princess Demi placed her glowing hands on the cloth wrapped around the branches.Princess Demi touched it lightly, and as soon as she moved her hand away, the light disappeared from the princess's hand, and the tree emitted light at this moment.Not long after, that ray of light gradually weakened. By the way, the princess is a lay priest of Asses.What an eye-opener. "It should be fine now." "Ah, yes. It's okay." Princess Demi stood with her hands in the pockets of her overalls and looked at us.It really doesn't look like a princess at all.The princess smiled and said: "thank you all." "Huh? What?" "Thanks to you, I don't need to marry anymore." Shan Sen opened his mouth wide, with an expression of not knowing the situation.But I couldn't stand it and burst out laughing. correct.His Majesty King Nissien once said that Princess Demi would be married to Higmonia to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes on the northern highway.This is to reduce the price of salt.But Karl had told His Majesty then that it would not work. "I'm sorry... for ruining your marriage." "No. I didn't want to marry in the first place. It would be cruel to ask me to marry someone I've never met." Princess Demi opened her arms and pointed around. "Also, leaving this garden and going to the far northern lands makes me tremble with fear. Thank you very much." "Is that so? Well, in that case, you don't need to thank us. That was suggested by Karl who was traveling with us." "Is that so? Then I should thank Mr. Karl. He must be here too?" "yes." "Even if he's not here, I'm going to find him. Will you show me the way?" "Ah? Yes, as ordered." Princess Demei walked over slowly.I really can't imagine what she would look like if she put on a dress and walked with this pace.The princess walked over dejectedly and slowly, dragging her pace in the most suitable overalls. Some palace servants also followed us in a panic.In a short time, a whole squad of palace servants followed Princess Demi.What's going on?Shansen and I looked behind Princess Daimei in surprise.Ah, it turned out to be the princess' entourage!Princess Demi turned around, frowned and said, "My pockets are very strong." "Huh?" One of the palace servants replied in a daze.Princess Demi was so angry that she was about to stutter, and she slowly replied: "Nothing will be missed. So you will not pick up anything if you follow me." In order to hold back the laughter that was about to burst, Shan Sen and I covered our mouths desperately.The palace attendant opened his mouth wide, glanced at the princess, and shouted in a very wronged voice: "Your Highness!" "Go away and go about your own business." But they had no intention of leaving at all, and they still followed Princess Demei.Princess Demi pouted and followed us quietly.Wait a minute, what does this look like?The servants of the palace are the servants of the princess, but the princess follows us, doesn't she?Hehe, it's so fun. As soon as we got to the room, the palace servants hurried to the door and stood up to open the door for us.This is of course not for us, but for Her Royal Highness.hum.The princess shrugged her shoulders and went into the room, and we followed. Karl in the room was still looking at the ceiling with a headache, and Esaihand looked at Karl with a very troubled look.Nelia was arguing for Alvned, who had slumped in the armchair, and Ghisien was the first to hear the door open.Githion knew that we would come back, so he nodded to us naturally, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted happily: "Ah, who is this? Demi!" Princess Daimei didn't realize it for a while, she looked at Ghisien stupidly.She doesn't seem to know that Githion is with us.Yes, how could there be such a coincidence.Princess Demi immediately screamed out. "elder brother!" Princess Demi rushed forward and hugged Ghisien.Ghisien lifted Princess Demi high in one breath, but he couldn't breathe immediately. "Uh. It's different from six years ago." Princess Demi didn't care about anything, she put her face on Ghisien's chest and rubbed desperately.She said: "Yeah, um. I've grown up. Huh, you're too much. It's too much for me to grow up and not show up even once! You didn't see any of my growing up, Isn't it?" With a warm smile on his face, Ghisien caressed Princess Demi along her hair. "If I had participated, maybe I wouldn't be so surprised. Is it surprising that you have grown so big all of a sudden? Haha. Really beautiful." "Hmm...brother..."
It took a while for Princess Demei to recover and calm down.But she has stayed with Ghisien and never left.Princess Demi held Gishien's hand tightly and greeted Karl. "I have heard your stories. His Majesty the King has asked me to greet you in his place." "yes?" "Yes. Originally, His Majesty the King should pay his respects in person, but he couldn't come because he was busy with Nex's follow-up." Humph.So what she said seemed to mean that for what we do, it is enough for the marquis of the nobles of the palace and the princess of the high-ranking royal family to pay their respects.Therefore, His Majesty the King appointed none other than Her Royal Highness the Princess.We are great.But when you think about it, Princess Demi is even greater.She clearly knew what His Majesty's intentions were, but she still staggered over in her overalls. Carl smiled happily and said, "We just did what the people should do." Princess Demei accepted Karl's humility with a sweet smile, and expressed her praise again, but did not respond to some polite words. "His Majesty the King will receive you in the solemn hall tomorrow." Carl was taken aback. "Yes, the solemn hall? Wow, my God. The civil and military officials just..." "Everyone will come in formal attire, right?" All of us were in a state of bewilderment.Shan Sen was in an unconscious state.There seems to be a saying that says: For a soldier, it is a supreme honor to kneel down and meet His Majesty the King in the solemn hall.Carl said with a frightened expression, "I don't think it's necessary." "The so-called times make heroes, and the country needs warriors." Princess Demi's brief response made Carl's face sullen. "Is that so...really." No, no, no!what a real!Carl made another mistake in front of the princess!Alvned nearly rolled out of his chair.But Princess Daimei still smiled sweetly and said: "Although it will make you feel uncomfortable, please don't take offense. Your righteous deeds must be made public. The commotion on the road must be publicly explained...so Please be patient for now, it won't take too long." "We know. Uh. But what if there's no gown?" "It will be ready for everyone early tomorrow morning. Her Royal Highness has not yet entered the palace, so I will be responsible for the internal affairs of the palace." I burst out laughing.Isn't the internal affairs of the palace the responsibility of the palace servants?Carl nodded.Princess Daimei continued: "Although this is not an official public matter, I thank you personally." "what?" "Thank you. Thanks to you, I don't have to leave the country." "What... ah, you mean Higmonia?" "That's right. Thank you." Carl replied happily with a smile: "You're welcome, Your Highness. That matter was just a suggestion to protect our country's commercial interests. It was not a suggestion made specifically for Your Highness."
