"Your Highness, do you have anything to say to me?" Brando asked after Queen Madala left.
"Yes, there are two letters in total. One is written to you by His Highness Haruze, and the other is from His Highness the eldest son of the King. He entrusted His Highness the Princess to ask me to deliver it to you."
"The eldest son of the king?" Brando thought for a moment, thinking that it was time for the eldest son of the king to make some noise in the north, unless the other party really didn't covet Eruin's throne at all. But since he brought his sister Chiara
Judging from his actions in arranging to join the mission, he is not a person without ambition.
To be honest, he admires the first heir of the Sifah family. Although he was born with a disability, he is wise, calm, and tolerant, and knows how to advance and retreat. If the Sifah family conforms to the orthodoxy, Brando will even
It is believed that the eldest son of the king is more suitable to inherit the throne of Eruin because he is a male. After all, Eruin has no precedent of a female monarch, and Haruze's character is too weak.
Unfortunately, the Sifah family has lost Eruin's legitimate and legitimate status since being abandoned by the Lion Heart Sword. Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help but glance at the Lion Heart Holy Sword in Freya's hand.
"Is the letter here?"
"On my body." Freya opened her purse and took out two well-preserved letters. She folded the two letters together and handed them over with both hands.
Brando walked down the stairs, took the letter, and was about to open it when Delphine's voice asked from behind him: "Do you need me to avoid it?"
Brando looked back at her, thought for a moment, and shook his head. "No. You stay, I may need your advice."
He didn't intend to completely trust this woman, but the alliance between Her Royal Highness the Princess, Haruze and him was not on the table yet, but compared with other secrets they had experienced along the way, it was nothing.
Already.
"Delphine?" Only then did Freya notice the prime minister's daughter on the terrace, and she couldn't help but look surprised: "Are you...?"
"Your lord saved my life. In return, I now serve the Fir Territory wholeheartedly." Delphine replied with a smile.
"Brando. What's going on?" Freya raised her heroic eyebrows, with a somewhat unkind tone. She placed one hand on the hilt of the Lion's Heart Sword, as if she only had one unkind word.
The sword will be unsheathed.
She learned the whole story of everything that happened in Rushta from Ciel and Antitina, and she had a very clear understanding of how Roman was captured by the tree shepherds and led to the arrival of the Dragon of Dusk. Yes.
It is said that the Silver Queen and the Tree Shepherd were each responsible for one-third of the disaster that occurred that day. The remaining one-third should be attributed to this woman.
Freya and Roman have known each other since childhood and grew up together in Butchi. It can be said that the familiarity between the two is even better than that of Brando. As the person who hurt Roman, she did not draw her sword immediately because she was worried about Buchi.
For Lando's sake.
Brando glanced at Delphine coldly. This woman was playing her tricks again. Others may not understand, but he knew very well that she deliberately made Freya angry.
He warned the other party with his eyes not to make matters worse. Then he told Freya his experience from Rushta to the Sea of Elements, and then to Rosalin; he also told Freya about his current relationship with the prime minister's daughter.
, and the mystery of the jade related to the whereabouts of the natural orb was told to the Valkyrie lady from Butchi.
Freya's expression softened slightly after listening to Brando's description. She didn't expect Brando to have experienced so many things alone. After hearing the end, she couldn't help but subconsciously asked: "I didn't expect you to go through so many things."
After so much, you, are you okay, Brando?"
Brando shook his head.
But Freya thought for a moment. After all, she was not the ignorant girl she was before. She quickly found a doubt and said: "But Brando, you wanted to kill her when you were on the boat. Why didn't you do it in the end? It was she who took the initiative.
Did I tell you the secret about the Emerald Mystery?"
Brando's face suddenly turned red. Thinking back to that ridiculous night, he hurriedly coughed and said vaguely: "Well, probably..."
Seeing his embarrassed look, Delphine stood on the terrace and snickered.
"perhaps?"
"Well..." Brando could only change the subject and said: "Let's read the letter first. I thought it was Her Royal Highness the Princess writing to me. I didn't expect it was Haruze. What did Her Royal Highness the little prince say in the letter?"
This topic change was extremely abrupt, but it was difficult for Freya to have doubts about Brando. She shook her head very honestly and said: "I don't know, this is a letter written by His Highness the Prince himself, how could I
Where’s the peek?”
Brando then opened the envelope and shook out the letter. Haruze's envelope was sealed with the magic ink pad that had his seal. It had the emblems of stars, moons and lilies on it, which was exactly Eyre.
The emblem of the Luin royal family, but as the successor of the kingdom, his private emblem is slightly different from that of Griffin, with an ivy decoration.
He opened the letter and glanced at it. There were only a few jargon on the first page. The little prince first greeted him as a student, and then briefly described his return to Eruin, his progress in learning black magic, etc.
The wording and tone of the letter, which was full of honorifics, made him couldn't help but smile. He once again thought of his shy and introverted student.
"What did His Highness Haruze write in the letter?" Freya couldn't help but asked curiously when she saw the smile on Brando's face. Apparently, this polite and shy little prince was also in the fir collar.
Very popular.
"Nothing, he said hello to you. He said in the letter that Ms. Freya is an excellent and noble knight, different from his teacher. You will definitely know the content of this letter after I open it.
"
"What's the meaning?"
"That means you won't peek and let me say hello to you on his behalf."
"Ah, Brando, what have you taught His Highness Haruze? How can you explain to Her Highness the Princess if this continues?" Freya replied angrily.
"Isn't this great? Only boys with a sense of humor can win the favor of women." Brando said as he opened the second page of letter paper and read along.
"Oh, really?" Freya glanced at Delphine who was standing on the terrace. Although she was not angry with Brando, it did not mean that she was an idiot.
Brando immediately coughed loudly.
"I will tell Roman," she said, holding the sword, blushing and gritting her teeth: "Brando."
The prime minister's daughter smiled and said nothing.
But at this time Brando raised his eyebrows. With a slight sigh, he suddenly closed the letter with a very strange look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Freya noticed Brando's expression and stopped joking. She became serious and asked.
"Haruze said he did not want to inherit the throne of Eruin"
"What?"
"What?"
One after another, Freya and Delphine on the terrace spoke at the same time, but the former voice was just pure surprise, but the prime minister's daughter seemed to have heard an ancient legend.
Just like people who are as simple as a blank sheet of paper cannot understand the ambitions of others, ambitious people often have difficulty understanding Haruze's desire to pursue freedom and plainness.
Thinking about it in Delphine, there are still people in this world who are not passionate about power and status? Then this person must be a fool.
But Brando can barely understand the thoughts of his shy student. They are actually the same type of people. If they are not bound by responsibilities, interests, power and ambition are not actually what they pursue. Haruze step by step
His efforts to become mature were just to fulfill Princess Griffin's expectations of him. After he understood the responsibilities he shouldered, he might have added the bond between the king and his subjects.
However, these are not what the little prince wants.
He was in a trance, and then said to other people present: "Haruze said in the letter that he is not the person Eruin needs. Eruin needs a real hero, but that hero is not him.
"
"How can he be so willful?" Freya was so surprised that she could barely close her mouth from ear to ear: "Where is Your Highness the Princess?"
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has no objection."
"As the king of Eruin, he has the right to transfer the crown to the successor he entrusted, as long as the person has sufficient qualifications." Delphine suddenly said: "For example, the successor of the royal bloodline, or
, a prince.”
"A prince?"
Delphine set his sights on Brando: "If the lord marries Princess Griffin, he can be the prince. In the country of Eruin, no one is more qualified for this position than him.
"
Freya opened her mouth in surprise. She looked at Brando in front of her in disbelief.
"Indeed," Brando nodded: "This is also one of Haruze's opinions. The other candidate is His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the king. If Haruze abdicates on his own initiative, the Sifah family will have a legal status."
"But" he looked at Freya and Delphine and changed the topic: "We are not suitable."
Freya had not yet reacted to this shocking news. Only Delphine asked in confusion: "Why? Isn't this a good opportunity for us? Sir, if you want to save Eruin, you can
You have to own it first. And as long as the Earl becomes Eruin's master, you can use its power, which will also help us rescue Miss Roman. Isn't it?"
Brando glanced at her, as if he could look directly into people's hearts, but he shook his head and said nothing. He just opened the second letter sent to him by the eldest son of the king. What surprised him was that this
The letter turned out to be in two copies, one of which was sent to him by Princess Chiara. Although he had always been prejudiced against the northern nobles, he had always had a good impression of this little princess. After all,
, although Princess Chiara was a little willful, she saved his life.
Without any commitment from him, she gave him Sifah's heart, which was extremely important to the Sifah royal family. He could not ignore this affection alone.
However, Princess Chiara's letter did not mention anything about Sifah's Heart. She only chatted with him about a lot of interesting things she had encountered these days, and then told him that she could come to live in Firland.
Some time ago, as a magic apprentice, coincidentally, her teacher was Antitina, who was recommended by the curious Garlock.
Of course, in Brando's opinion, this was no coincidence at all. It must have been the arrangement of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the king. He couldn't help but shook his head, wondering what the eldest son of the king was planning.
Then he began to read the second letter. When he opened the letter sent to him by the eldest son, Brando couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly, looking very surprised.
The eldest son of the king talked to him in the letter about the situation in the north of Eruin. Generally speaking, it is not too bad, but it is not too good either. Since the disaster of the dead moon, a large number of Cruz refugees have poured into Eruin through Anzeruta.
Affected by the abnormal weather after the arrival of the magic wave, crops in the north of Eruin failed, resulting in widespread famine.
On the one hand, although the northern nobles sided with the Corcova royal family in the Black Rose War under his constraints, with the end of the war and the onset of famine, the northern nobles began to no longer be as respectful as before the war.
The nobles of places like Mountain and Balta have even threatened to take back Ampelsel so that they can use Ampelsel's wealth to survive this unbearable harsh winter.
The eldest son of the king also mentioned in the letter that he and Her Royal Highness the Princess should be careful of the royal party, because according to the information sent back by his subordinates, part of the royal party may be in contact with the northern nobles.
Although the eldest son of the king would in turn remind him and Her Royal Highness the Princess, which surprised Brando, what really surprised him was not this, but the last paragraph of the letter written by the eldest son of the king:
‘…Mr. Count, thank you for fighting for the fate of Eruin. You and I both know the fate of this kingdom. The dispute between Sifach and the Corcova royal family has lasted for hundreds of years, and now it seems to have reached the last moment.
It is like a carriage heading towards the abyss. You and I each hold a rein of the carriage. For a long time, we have carefully restrained this carriage to prevent it from falling into an irreversible situation.
But today, when the two families decide the winner, both the north and the south will completely diverge. His Royal Highness the little prince is kind-hearted, but he has not seen the blood and fire that this kingdom will face in the future. I believe you must understand
At this point, what Eruin needs is not you and me, but a king who can carry the past grudges and history of the two families.
And this lady is right next to you. I believe that you are very discerning and must have known her name already.
Your respected friend, Levin Onneson Sifach’
Brando held this page of letter paper in his hand and was in a daze for a long time.
There was a storm in his heart, and for the first time he had admiration for the first heir of the Sifah family. Perhaps in history, if he instead of Queen Anna had stepped onto the stage of history, Eruin's history might have been
