Vol 5 Chapter 109

Just when Brando first encountered Encore Gwendolyn in the Silver Valley, outside the Bear Lake area-the offensive of the Gengan Degan army did not stop for a moment. After the first loss of audio in the Vargas area, Nafil and Taris have declared their fall. By this time, Cruz's talents finally figure out who the enemy is-the King of the Lizards, "Grey Eye" Moksha, Moksha directs his army to Heading north, the soldiers swept through the Meilin area north of Xionghu Lake, and the only remaining resistance in the Anzlowa area fell apart. By this time, the intentions of the Qorgendian people had been clearly revealed.

Obviously, their goal is Asaph—

Once Asaph falls, the empire will face the danger of losing the evergreen aisle, thus isolating the wildness of the Four Realms. Until this moment, the imperialists seemed to react after being beaten. The lords and local legions around the country quickly Mobilize and wait for the Queen's command to go to the support. The White Army advances southward to the Evergreen Walkway, ready to help the most important lifeline in the southern part of the Empire.

But how easy is it to save the war?

In the previous offensives, some people even observed the existence of the dragon, and the news from Rokozi confirmed this. Two of the five underground kings participated in this war. This news Shocked the entire empire.

It seems that since the last war, the empire has never faced such a dangerous situation. From politicians and soldiers to civilians, almost everyone is inquiring about this sudden war from all aspects. The nobles are concerned about this sudden war. What kind of obstacles will the war bring to their interests, while the civilians worry that the war will spread uncontrollably, dragging them into the mire of war.

At this moment, the war situation in Anzlowa is plunging the southern part of the empire into a misty mist, from the Violet Valley to the Mez region in the northern part of the lofty Inland Sea, from Cape Bay to Bankel, and countless lights are passing through various In this way, everyone is waiting in the restlessness, waiting for the news from Asaph--

But someone always thinks farther.

...

"What if Asaph has fallen?"

The question was raised is a little girl with big bright blue eyes and blonde hair with a shawl like a wave. She was wearing a princess dress and sitting on a chair with her hands folded decently and placed on the skirt. Is a well-educated aristocratic lady, the former is looking up at Mrs. Merrier-their history and aristocratic teacher. And not far away, Faina was sitting on a high back chair looking out of the window thoughtfully-it was a floor-to-ceiling window, outside the window was the winter scenery of the Lono Fortress, and the forest still had a touch of dark blue. Color, but above the forest canopy, stands against the snow-capped peaks of the mountain.

Mehotophen, here is the plain and hills surrounding the snow-capped mountains south of Ludwig. The melting snow accumulates into a river to wash out this fertile field. When winter comes to spring, there are flowers everywhere. The countryman from the east of Alkash region is called the place where spring blossoms bloom. Because the cold wind from the glacier in the east makes Gresius snow all year round. Compared with this, the Woye area in the south is a warm place. .

It later did get its name from this, the collar of flowers and leaves, which is exactly the name of this land.

And his master, before the year of standing flowers, was a noble Brook. The Archduke Brooke died of typhoid fever in the year of wheat ears, and then what is now called the gloomy Archduke Helix succeeded the Duke and became the actual land. Owner, the Duke is not an innocent ascetic, but he has no children. He has only two sons. His eldest son has died in the last war. Under the two sons, there is only a pair of granddaughters.

Faina glanced enviously at her carefree sister. My heart has long scorned the other person's stupid question without mercy, but this scorn is out of a kind of sister's covetous attitude towards her sister, which has not been shown at all.

The relationship between the two sisters has always been very harmonious.

Elise is a well-behaved little angel who is famous for her flowers and collars, and Faina, who has been taught by her spleenful Brando. She has always been lawless outside, and she has been doing wrong with her group of fox friends and dog friends in the capital. Recently, after returning from the trade wind ring, I only slightly converged and looked a little bit more ladylike. This is already called Archduke Helix thank God.

But what she has done since this time is to organize her adventure stories into a book after returning to the territory, and prepare to take Rusta as a bragging capital in the future-of course, before that, these stories were long been hers. The only younger sister was familiar with it. The little girl in the period of ignorance was not bored. Instead, she was so full of admiration for her sister that the latter was full of longing for the outside world, but she could n’t do it. As bold as her sister.

After Iris asked that question, the hall was silent for a while, and Mrs. Merrier seemed to be thinking about it-not in a real sense, but purely in academic theory-so she was not at all affected by the Empire The influence of the situation pushed the glasses and thought for a moment and replied: "Only from a military point of view, the empire is likely to lose the evergreen aisle, but the symbolic significance of this blow to the empire is far greater than the actual meaning. The empire Without the Evergreen Walkway, you can support the battlefield of the Four Realms from the flower and leaf collar. This is a rare opportunity for the Grand Duke. If it was not against Faen Zan, the geographical position of the flower and leaf collar was in fact the slightest. Not inferior to the Evergreen Walkway ... "

This lady's vital interests are closely related to the flower and leaf collar. She was worried about the withering of the flower and leaf collar business due to the last jihad. When she talked about it, she immediately gushed.

Iris listened with interest, and Faina was already bored. She didn't know these things hundreds of times, and she heard cocoons in her ears.

What's more, at this moment, she didn't have the heart to listen to these things at all. All the reasons came from the letter handed to her by her father's housekeeper the night before.

The letter is from Emperor Rusta. The Kirk family, like many other large families in the empire, has a lot of eyeliners and relationships in the center of the empire's power. There are many letters whether at the critical moment or on weekdays. Between these families and their eyeliners and networks, these letters were no secret in the empire, but the letter sent to Faina was very different.

This letter has some special secret signs of this ancient family, and this kind of sign can only show that this letter comes from some important members of this family.

For example, the Duke of Helix and the father of Faina, Count Effi, were in the capital at the moment.

The content of the letter is very simple, just to say that the trip to the imperial capital has encountered some troubles, and it may take some time to return to the territory.

But it was this letter that caused Faina's suspicion.

There is no male member in the family at this moment, and with the character of her grandfather and father, it is absolutely impossible to use a letter to solemnly inform her-it is this precedent that has never been before, causing She was vigilant; this week she inquired about the capital through the housekeeper Eliot, but strange things happened. The family's eyeliner in Rusta seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and no one could be contacted.

The news about her grandfather and father was also half-truth. Some news said that Archduke Helix still lives in the "Tulip Building" of the imperial capital, but it is completely innocent to report back to those sent by Eliot. The Duke and the Earl set off for their return journey two weeks ago.

All kinds of contradictory news, like a cloud of clouds covering Faina, she just began to regret it. She didn't listen to her grandfather's orders earlier and seriously participate in the daily affairs of the territory. In the case that no one can rely on, she only felt his eyes obscured.

"The last group should be back soon, too." The young lady thought to herself as if sitting on a needle felt, and the gushing Ms. Merrier could not help but become more abominable in her eyes at the moment, "this abominable old virgin!"

Faina was distressed and couldn't help cursing in a low voice, but unfortunately, Ms. Merrier was in a high position in the territory. In the past, her grandfather, Archduke Helix, would never have spoken to the latter because of her words. What happened? Most of the time, she was punished and imprisoned, which was already a routine thing for Faina. But now, she can say that she is alone in the charge, but she has no mood to retaliate.

And just as she was going to listen to drowsiness, there was a long-lost knock outside the hall, and Ms. Merrier stopped again, staring sternly at Faina—the latter rushed to her She made a sorry gesture, jumped off the high chair, ran three steps and ran out of the door in two steps—about everything that has happened in the past week and a half, she did n’t reveal anything to others, not even Elise, because At least the noble lady understood what it meant.

Outside the door, the housekeeper in the castle has been waiting for a long time. Faina saw the letter of her father and asked quickly: "How is it, Mr. Eliot, is there any information about my grandfather and my father?"

When she asked half of what she said, she suddenly stopped.

Because Faina saw that her father's butler named Eliot had a terrible look, she still saw this look for the first time on this guy who has always shown his face with poker.

Without warning, Her Royal Highness Princess had a bad feeling in her heart. She hesitated a little, and asked, "Steward Eliot, is there something wrong with your grandfather?"

Eliot nodded stiffly: "Miss, something happened to Emperor, I think you should prepare early."

"What happened!" Faina seemed to have hit a stick in person, her face paled, and she couldn't help asking a little scaredly, "Is it my grandfather and his father ..."

"You think too much, miss," Eliot realized that the little master had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Master Duke and Earl should be safe at present, but just a few days ago, Her Majesty issued an order, They are under house arrest. "

"House arrest?" Faina gave a slight stun, as though she was relieved and asked a little puzzlingly: "Why?"

She knows that since Her Majesty the Queen's ascension, she has not had a good relationship with the Kirk family, but it doesn't seem to be bad enough to place a duke under house arrest at will, which represents what it means, the imperial family and an influence The huge family broke openly. She believes that this is something that she does not want to see, both for that queen and for the entire empire.

"Her Majesty thinks that the Duke and the Earl betray the Empire," Eliot replied stupidly.

"Betrayal of the empire!" Fayina almost jumped up. "What is that woman joking about, how is this possible!"

Eliot did not dare to take this sentence because it was a bit too rebellious. Fortunately, there was no outsider here. He carefully looked around and reminded the little master: "Please be careful, Miss, the Duke and the Earl have been placed under house arrest in the Imperial City. Her Majesty will surely strike us before the news spreads. You must have an idea. "

Faina stunned for a moment.

Want her to get an idea, but what kind of idea can she take, the only thing she can rely on at this time seems to be her teacher Veronica, but the problem is that Veronica has long been because of her earlier trip to Eruin. Under house arrest. After listening to Eliot's words, Faina couldn't help but feel a sense of isolation. She felt confused and couldn't help but said to her father's housekeeper, "Elliot, I understand. You let me calm down and I'll tell you what to do later. "

The old housekeeper seemed to see the embarrassment of the little master, but he didn't reveal it, just nodded and replied, "If you need it, you can order me at any time." Then he turned away.

Only Fayna stood beside the door with a numb heart.

She never dreamed that her ordinary grandfather and father ’s trip to the imperial capital would turn into this. She did n’t know whether she was crazy or that Her Majesty the Queen was crazy, because under normal circumstances, even her grandfather and her My father really betrayed the empire, and the royal family should not deal with it so hastily. After all, the influence is too great. Her Majesty's hand has another reason to look at it, but the key is that she can't think of the real problem.

"It would be nice if that guy was here now, he must know what happened, as if there was nothing to hide from him." Faina couldn't help but murmured.

She stayed at the door for a moment, and was about to turn around and tell Elise about it-at this point, she knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, and the Kirk family might be lost if the current situation was not careful. Of course the same, this is the same for Her Majesty, this is where Faina can't figure out, she does not understand why the supreme empire seems to be suddenly crazy-and It was at this time that a guard ran in from the outside.

The guard saw her and gave her a little stupidity, and probably did not expect that the young lady would stand by the door and froze, then hurriedly said, "Miss, there are a group of knights outside."

"A group of knights?"

"No, to be precise, there should be a group of knights and another person." The guard explained quickly.

"What group of knights and another person," Faina replied indignantly, "I will give you a chance to explain what you want to say, otherwise I will leave you in the dungeon!"

The guard was startled, apparently did not expect to hit the high-minded princess of the flower-leaf collar, and quickly and carefully explained: "There were two people outside the door, and some people seemed to be knights in the town. There was only one other group, as if it were a messenger. "

"Knight?" Faina jumped a little. The so-called knights in the town are actually the inner court knights. The knights in their noble private territories have long been an open secret-in remote places, local The lord may only know that there are such people in his territory, but he may not know who they are. In the grand duchess like the flower and leaf collar, the royal family had to care about the attitude of the dukes, so most of the knights stationed here were semi-public.

And these people as monitors, the relationship with the people being monitored, naturally, they will not get along well, they will come, most of the time will not be a good thing.

Faina contacted Eliot almost immediately, and she frowned, and immediately wanted to refuse, but at this time, she stopped and asked, "That The messenger is not with them? "

"Yes." The guard replied honestly, and couldn't help but be grateful that the little witch princess had always been so enlightened and didn't throw herself into the black gurgling dungeon below the castle, which was not a joke. The last time, there was a maid who was slightly disappointed by the young lady, and was thrown down by the young lady for several days. The little girl was still scared.

"Is it our messenger?" Faina asked again.

The guard shook his head: "It doesn't seem like he said he was from Anzlova. I see him as a liar, and the place has been blocked for a long time now."

"Shut up," Faina interrupted him coldly. "I didn't ask you this. You said he was from Anzlova?"

The guard nodded.
