"What? Your Majesty Wigley is sick?" When the carriage arrived at the palace, the two of them learned that the emperor was actually sick. Moreover, the illness was not as serious as usual. He had not gone to court or summoned ministers for a week.
Linton looked at the equally surprised Klose next to him with a surprised look. It doesn't matter if he is not in DìDū. Your emperor has been ill for a week and you didn't know? But after thinking about it later, it seems that there is no problem. He forgot that this guy is a
I'm an old homebody, and with my granddaughter missing, I guess I really don't have time to care about other things.
"Is His Majesty's condition serious? Has Bishop Byron seen it? What should I say?" Klose asked anxiously.
"This...I..." The guard opposite looked like he didn't know how to answer. Linton was really speechless. If it wasn't serious, he could stay in bed for a week. But if you ask the guard what's the use, he can know the actual situation.
What's the situation? The emperor's serious illness is a very taboo matter. If even a guard can know the emperor's actual condition, the security measures of the palace will have to be improved.
"I want to see your Majesty." Klose saw that the other party didn't answer anything, and immediately said anxiously. He was not doing it for his granddaughter this time. His relationship with Wigley was indeed not bad. Now that he heard that the emperor was ill, it was just
Just wanted to see it.
"This, His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the inner hall to visit at this time." The guard said immediately.
"Neither can I?" Klose said unhappily.
"Um... Sir, please don't embarrass us. Your Majesty's orders are no exception," the guard said.
Klose frowned slightly, maybe he also realized that the matter might be more serious. For a normal illness, His Majesty would not directly refuse to meet everyone, so the illness might be much more serious than he thought.
Since I couldn't see His Majesty, of course I couldn't tell him about the previous plans of the two of them. Just when I didn't know what to do, a voice suddenly came from the side and shouted to the two of them: "Uncle Four."
"Fourth uncle?" Linton turned his head and saw a familiar person, who turned out to be his nephew Gasein. Did it turn out that Gasein had returned from the battlefield? Come to think of it, he had heard about the war when he came back.
It's over. Looking at Gasein's current appearance, his clothes have improved a lot. He feels like he has been promoted. But Linton is a little strange, because Gasein usually doesn't call him uncle, after all, he is actually younger than him.
Well, this time I shouted very skillfully.
But looking to the side, Linton probably knew what was going on. There was a woman he had never seen before, a young girl in her twenties. She looked aristocratic in her clothes, and she was pretty good-looking.
I know what the relationship is with my nephew. But I guess he calls me uncle just to show that he is more polite.
"Your Majesty the Earl." Seeing Gasein appear, the previous guard also saluted directly and greeted him. From the address of Linton, he knew that Gasein had indeed been promoted. It seemed that he had been rewarded by the count for his military exploits.
"How did you find him?" Linton asked.
"I was just here when I heard the news that you were back, so I came over." Garsain said. After that, he made room for the woman next to him and said, "Let me introduce you, this is Miss Messela.
This is my fourth uncle, Linton. There is also this person you should know, Lord Kotviko."
"Hello, Mr. Kotviko, hello, Mr. Swordsman Meloway, I am Messela. Colin, nice to meet you." The woman here also immediately made a noble salute, very intellectual and reasonable.
a feeling of.
"She's from Colin's family? Cedro's granddaughter?" Klose asked.
"Yes, Lord Kotviko." Mesera nodded.
"Oh, not bad. We haven't seen each other for a while. Not only did you get promoted, but you also found a lover?" Linton joked. Although the two of them didn't show much, Linton could already feel the sour smell. He didn't see Garsain.
In order to leave a good impression in front of Mesera, he kept calling him uncle.
"Ahem..." Garsain coughed twice, and then immediately changed the subject, "Uncle Fourth, I have something important to talk to you about. Can you change the place?"
"Is it something important?" Linton asked, "Is it related to the emperor?"
"Hmm..." Garsain nodded.
"Let's go back first." Although Klose was not very politically sensitive, he still had a sense of smell, so he said immediately.
The four of them didn't say much, and went straight out of the palace and back to Klose's carriage. Klose's carriage was still very big, and it was not too crowded for the four of them to get in. They ordered the carriage driver to go back, and the four of them
Close the car door and start talking.
"This is a letter from Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Gasein first took out a letter from his arms and said, "Read it first and then speak."
Linton didn't say anything. He just looked at the letter, then frowned. He touched his chin and said, "The letter has no seal and no signature. Are you sure it's a letter from the third princess?"
"This...Miss Messela is a friend of the third princess, and it was she who brought the letter." Gasain said.
"Yes, Lord Sword Master." Messela next to her said immediately. According to her, the letter was given to her by the third princess to take out of the palace. It was originally meant to be brought to Linton, but the problem was that Linton couldn't find it.
Arrive. Meserra had no choice but to find Garsain, and Garsain didn’t know where Linton was. Meserra had no choice but to wait for Linton to come back. According to Garsain, Linton
Although he will disappear inexplicably for a period of time, he will still be contacted, so we can only wait for him to come back on his own.
Linton estimated that the two of them had some feelings for each other during this period. Although it was only in its infancy, it shouldn't be a bad thing. Since Messela is the princess's best friend and a family that Klose has heard of,
He must have an extraordinary background. Garsain has just received a reward. He is a new aristocrat with no foundation. Marriage with an old aristocrat seems to be a good choice.
Of course, it would be nice if things were as simple as they appear on the surface. At present, Linton is unable to determine the identity of Messela. As mentioned before, it is impossible to confirm that this letter was written by the third princess. There is not even a signature. Of course, it is also possible that it was written by the third princess.
He was afraid of being found out as a way to evade it. After all, if he didn't sign it, even if others discovered it, Meserra could still say that he wrote it himself.
Linton is so cautious mainly because this is a matter involving the royal family. The officialdom is very deep, and royal matters are even more cordoned off. There are many conspiracies and tricks in it, and I have to guard against it, especially since I am still a famous saint, and I am worth it.
It's up to others to do the math.
"Have you seen it?" Linton asked directly to Garsain.
"I've read it." Garsain nodded. The letter was not sealed, and the princess didn't say not to let him read it. "Her Highness the Princess is now under house arrest. Even Miss Messela can't enter the palace now."
"What? House arrest?" Klose next to him didn't know what was going on, but he felt a big headache when he heard it. Putting a princess under house arrest? Who dares to do this?
"I can understand this aspect." Linton gestured to Klose not to ask, and continued, "But you said that it would be fine if the princess asked me to rescue her, but she asked me to leave DìDū and help her find it.
What is Dragon Blood Sword Grass? I don’t understand this. What is Dragon Blood Sword Grass? Is it a medicine for treating diseases?”
"I don't know about this either," Gassern said. "I also investigated and found that no one has heard of this thing. I don't dare to speak out casually."
"Dragon Blood Sword Grass?" Klose asked next to him.
"You know?" Linton asked.
"I don't know. I've never heard of it. Dragon's blood should refer to the blood of a giant dragon, but I've never heard of a medicinal material called dragon's blood sword grass." Klose said, "But I'm not a pharmacist. Find one.
Ask the pharmacist, I guess it’s His Majesty’s illness that requires this medicine.”
"Does the princess need to be kept under house arrest just for medical treatment?" Linton said.
"I suspect that someone doesn't want His Majesty's illness to get better." Gasein here expressed his guess, "Maybe it's because only the princess knows how to treat the disease and she knows what medicine to use, so she was placed under house arrest.
."
Gasain's guess was more reliable, but Linton immediately said: "I have another guess. No one has heard of the name of this medicine. If it is made up, what is its purpose? The princess did not let me
It would be weird to go directly to save her, and now you ask me to leave DìDū to help him find medicine, don't you think it's against me?"
"Huh? Wait, what do you mean?" After saying that, both Garserne and Klose looked at Meserra next to them at the same time, so Linton meant that someone instigated Meserra to use a fake letter to let Linton
Dun left DìDū. After all, they might also know the relationship between the third princess and himself, and then ask him to stay out of the way, or something like that?
"This... this is really a letter from the princess." Of course Mesela understood it, but she felt really innocent, "How could I do that kind of thing."
"Well...that...fourth uncle, I think..." Garsain beside him couldn't help it, as if he wanted to tell Mesera something.
"Don't worry, I'm just making a guess, right?" Linton said, "In fact, it's very simple to find out this matter. Since it's the princess who is looking for me, I'll go directly to the princess and ask if it's clear soon."
"No, the palace is now blocked." Messela said, "Master Sword Master, if you forcefully break into the palace under the current situation, you will easily be framed as treason by someone with ulterior motives."
"Do you need to force your way in?" Linton smiled, and then said to Klose next to him, "I'm going out for a while, you guys keep an eye on her, I'll be right back."
"Hey." Klose was just about to stop him when he suddenly saw Linton's body disappearing from top to bottom. In just one second, he disappeared from the sight of several people.
"Wuchen Confused." Although no one could be seen, Linton's voice seemed to be still in front of them, "I have said that magic is omnipotent."
