Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Running around in vain

In founding his first and only Skill Order, Galen chose to ignore all tradition and named it after the Master Skill Master who founded it, namely himself, and the Order retained that name after his death. .Instead of forming groups out of gatherings of Skill users, Galen chooses his own members, so his group lacks the cohesion that legendary groups have, with each member's allegiance to the Master Skill rather than to the Sovereign.So, the original key member, Majesty, reports to Galen as often as he reports to King Shrewd or Crown Prince Verity.After Galen's death and the failure of Majestic's Skill abilities, Duan Ning emerged as a key member of Galen's Skill group, while the other surviving group members included Strong, Desire, Cowardly, and Boli.

I run like a wolf in the night. At first I thought it was just a vivid dream, the ink-splashed tree shadows stretched across the endless snow, I smelled the isolated smell in the cold wind, and felt the shrews jumping and jumping out of the winter cave The absurd fun of digging and just waking up feeling refreshed. But after I experienced the vivid dream again the next night, I woke up and finally realized that I not only blocked Verity in my dream, but also blocked Molly's dream, allowing my inner wolf's night thoughts to fully unfold.It was a situation that Verity or any other Skill user could not follow, completely free from the intricacies of court machinations, worries and never-ending plans.My wolf lives in the moment, with no messy memory fragments in his mind, and lives only by his daily needs day in and day out.It doesn't remember how many shrews it killed in the previous two nights, but only remembers important events such as which road can hunt the most rabbits, or where the weather never freezes like spring.

That's how I first taught him how to hunt, and we didn't do well at first.I still get up early every day to feed it enough food, and tell myself that this is just a private corner of my life reserved for myself, just like the wolf told me that I do it out of nature.In addition, I promised myself that this bond would not become a complete bond, and it would soon be hunting alone, and I would let it fly away and live a free life.Sometimes I tell myself to just allow it to dream, maybe teach it how to hunt and let it go as soon as possible, and I refuse to think about how Burrich feels about it.

I returned from an early morning expedition to find two soldiers practicing martial arts with clubs, benignly challenging each other in the kitchen courtyard, exhaling, moving and volleying in the cold clear air.I didn't know the man at all, and for a moment I thought the two were strangers, until the other woman saw me. "Hey! Fitz Horse Rider. I have something to tell you. "She was holding a stick and yelling at me. I stared at her, trying to recognize her, when my opponent couldn't dodge and took a hard blow from her.When he hopped up on one foot, she bounced back and laughed loudly in a high-octave hiss. "Whistle?" I asked in disbelief.

With her famous toothless smile, the woman named Whistle parried a blow from her partner before bouncing back. "Yeah, how?" She asked out of breath, and her martial arts partner politely lowered his stick when he saw that she was delayed, but Whistle immediately raised his stick and hit him.He fought back almost easily with his stick, and then she smiled and raised her hand for peace. "Yes," she repeated, turning to me, "I'm here...in fact, I was sent to ask you for help." I pointed to her clothes. "I don't understand. You left Verity's bodyguard?"

She shrugged a little, but I could tell the question pleased her. "But it's not much worse. I'm the queen's bodyguard now. Vixen's medal, have you seen it?" She pulled the front of the white jacket and held the fabric tightly, letting me see the fine wool handwork. Embroidered in white on fabric and a purple base, it is a roaring fox.The purple on her dress matched her thick furry purple trousers with loose cuffs tucked into knee-high boots, and her companion's outfit matched hers perfectly.Queen's bodyguard.Kettricken's adventures resulted in this uniform.

"Verity has decided she needs to have her own bodyguard?" I asked cheerfully. The smile on Xiao'er's face faded a bit. "Not exactly." She avoided answering, then stood up straight and said as if reporting, "We decided that she needs her own guards. It was decided by me and the person who rode with her two days ago. Let's discuss it together. ...everything, but that's for later. We talked about her performance on the battlefield and back here. We talked about someone should be allowed to organize the queen's bodyguard, but no one knew how to do it. We understand It's necessary, but others don't seem to care... But I heard you lose your temper at the city gate last week about her walking out of town alone. Yes, it's you! I'm listening in the next room It's what you said!"

I kind of protested, but nodded curtly anyway.Whistle continued: "So, we decided to do this. We divided the personnel evenly, and wore purple and white uniforms to show the difference. Most of Verity's guards It's been too long to fight, so it's time for a new blood injection. So we reorganize, give out ranks to those who should have been promoted years ago, and recruit new people to fill the vacancies. The plan is perfect Great, the newcomers give us the opportunity to hone our skills, and we can teach them. The queen will have her own bodyguard, no matter what she wants, or to adapt to the current situation."

"I see." A feeling of uneasiness welled up -- "Then what do you want me to do?" "Explain to Verity that the queen has her own bodyguard," she said simply and calmly. "It's very close to infidelity," I replied, equally curtly. "Verity's own soldiers put aside the uniform of the bodyguard for his queen's..." "Some people will think so, and others may say so." She turned to me calmly, her smile gone. "But you know that's not infidelity, it's something that must be done. Your... Junqi will help her organize a bodyguard before she comes here if she sees this need, but Crown Prince Verity... so to speak Well, it's not disloyalty to him. We're loyal to him because we love him, so far it's been the same. We've always guarded behind him, this time we took a few steps back and repacked and defended again, that's it .We think he has a good queen and don't want to see him lose her, that's all. We respect the Crown Prince just as much, you know."

True, but I still feel wrong.Despite her pleas, I shook my head and tried to think.Why are you looking for me?I'm a little annoyed.Then I understood that when I was furious and accused the guards of not protecting the queen well, I volunteered to protect her.Then I remembered Burrich's warning to never forget my situation. "I will tell Crown Prince Verity, and if he allows, I will tell the Queen."
