When Faina opened the door and entered the room, the Prime Minister's daughter Delphine was writing something at her desk.
The room in the fortress is not spacious. It is like a hexagonal silver honeycomb. There is a recessed bed on one side of the wall. The desk is a metal platform and there is a chair next to it. The prime minister's daughter on the chair is wearing a full-length coat.
It's pleated
Wearing a long black dress, the skirt trailed on the silver floor. She had a graceful figure, and her long hair cascading behind her was like ebony. Her whole body exuded fatal attraction, but she looked more like a black widow spider.
Seeing the former, she put away her quill and inserted it into the ink bottle, raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It took a lot of effort to coax Elise to sleep. She was very scared." Faina replied as she closed the door gently.
"Everyone is afraid, especially in times like this," Delphine picked up the parchment on the table and twisted his hands into a tube, "but at least she has a good sister."
She put the scroll into the mailbox and closed the lid. Then she looked at Faina and looked her friend up and down: "You have changed a lot."
Faina looked calm, wearing only a simple armed corset, and her long golden hair was tied up and tied behind her head. She looked more like an ordinary female knight than the heiress of Mehotofen—
—After going through so much
After many things happened, it was hard to see the arrogance in this once unruly young lady, and she learned to be mature and tolerant.
Hearing the words of the prime minister's daughter, she just forced a smile: "Thank you, I was too childish in the past."
Delphine put the mailbox on the table and motioned for Faina to sit down: "What's going on outside? I've been writing these things here. I heard that the offensive of the crystal cluster is very fierce?"
"The situation is very bad. They seem to be endless. Our troops are already stretched thin." Faina nodded: "Most people are inclined to retreat, but your grandfather and Lord Vala have not made a decision yet. Those who follow us
Mr. Niederwin has decided to evacuate the civilians who came here together to the Lowen Creek Forest area.
"My father is not a big-time person, but he is more than adequate as a civil affairs officer," Delphine taunted with a somewhat contemptuous smile, then changed his tone and said seriously: "But civilians can evacuate.
, but others must stay here - oh, by the way, in addition to the elderly, women and children, the young and strong among the civilians must also stay."
Faina looked at her with some surprise: "But the generals believe that the acropolis outside the fortress can last for up to three days. If we are trapped in the fortress, we will be trapped alive."
Delphine seemed to have expected her surprise, and smiled and analyzed to her: "It's not that serious. Our main dilemma now is actually that Madara's undead army cannot reach it, so our troops are stretched thin.
Elbow, but at this time, something as serious as the White Mountain Disaster happened. The elves blocked the border, and the army and Madara confronted each other on the border, which made the problem seem to have formed a dead end. But after all, it was just 'seemingly'
’ It’s just, not a real ‘dead knot’, because everyone knows it well, even the Elf Court itself understands that the root cause of this problem is not the undead, but the Buga people——”
"Perhaps few people have told you that there have always been serious differences between our world and the people of silver. It is not difficult to find this if you look back at history. On the one hand, the mortals who are the weaker side occupy the continent.
The main resources of the world, but the excellent and powerful Silver People can only choose to hide from the world; on the other hand, mortals themselves also have such inferiority - we subconsciously feel afraid of the powerful power possessed by the Silver People...
This kind of suspicion has existed for a long time, even since the era of the Holy War, and today the distrust of mortals by the Ribuga people has deepened the conflict."
"It can be said that the Buga people have never truly trusted mortals. They dress themselves up as guardians, monitor the chaotic border of the world, live in the clouds, and intervene in disputes in the secular world with a superior attitude.
.More importantly, they have their own way of doing things and attitudes, and we have never really understood what those wizards want to do, so there is no way to judge whether their attitudes are good or bad."
"In fact, it is this attitude that touches the sensitive nerves of mortals, because both the Cruz people and the wind elves have achieved their current status through struggle. We will never allow another dark dragon to override
The fact that they are superior to mortals, and the shadow of the Buga people behind the White Mountain disaster that occurred at this time, only amplified this uneasiness and put all these contradictions on the table."
"So if we want to untie this knot and bring Saint Osor and Madara back to the negotiating table, we only need to change the attitude of the Buga people and find out the real mastermind behind the White Mountain Disaster——"
Faina shook her head: "But even if Saint Osor and Madara return to the negotiating table at this time, it will be too late." She sighed again: "We don't have that much time anymore."
"Of course," Delphine blinked: "Do you believe me?"
Faina was already full of admiration for the wisdom of her friend who always had solutions. She nodded subconsciously, but said with some embarrassment: "But the decisions of the nobles are not so easily influenced. If they can't see hope,
Hopefully, your grandfather and my father will both make a decision."
"Then change everything before they make a decision."
Faina couldn't help but widen her eyes. Changing the resolution of the noble council was something they could get involved in?
If it weren't for the fact that the person sitting in front of her was the eldest daughter of Niedwin, the flower of the empire who was famous for her wisdom, she would have almost thought that her friend had gone crazy.
Delphine, however, had no fear and spoke frankly: "It is difficult for ordinary people, but you and I have a natural advantage at this moment - to change the noble decision, we only need to win over a few real people.
weighty
Just the voices of Duke Mehothoven, the Prime Minister of the Empire, and the Great Holy See Valla, who represent the opinions of the local, central and temple respectively, plus your teacher Ms. Veronica, if the military
also stood on our side,
What can the rest decide?"
Faina shook her head repeatedly: "I dare not say that. Fathers, there is no way he will listen to our nonsense."
"That's not necessarily the case," Delphine raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled slyly: "By the way, how did you go about the things I entrusted you with before?"
Faina glanced at Delphine strangely, shook her head and said: "I have asked your father about that matter for you. He said that he had never seen the ring, but he seemed very angry and told me not to leave.
You are messing around with these things." She
There was a look of doubt in his blue eyes: "Delphine, do you know something? Is that ring important? My father seems to care about this issue..."
Delphine did not answer directly, but asked: "What about the other nobles?"
"No, none of them have seen the ring, and the Holy See has not mentioned it."
After hearing these words, Delphine finally showed a weird smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Faina, I also asked the Great Holy See Valla and my grandfather, guess what they answered?
"
Faina looked at her doubtfully.
"Of course they didn't dare to answer," Delphine smiled coldly: "Faina, let me tell you, that ring is the Holy Ring of Flame, which symbolizes the supreme power of the empire, and is the symbol of the throne of Cruz. It does not follow
Constant
Queen Silk died and her whereabouts are unknown, I am very confident that it may be in the hands of my grandfather."
"What!" Faina was surprised again after hearing Delphine's words: "Delphine, you——"
Delphine seemed much calmer, and she continued: "In the empire, there is only one way to forcefully change the resolution of the noble council, and that is His Majesty's imperial order. But Prince Lenaret is not the emperor of the empire yet.
Then during this period of time, the Holy Ring of Flame can represent the supreme royal power of the empire."
"But Delphine, the Holy Ring of Flame is just a ring after all. Although it carries the agreement between the nobles and the royal family, the token itself does not represent the emperor of Cruz. It can only be used by the successor to the throne of Cruz.
This agreement is only binding when it is held. Don't forget this." Faina is also familiar with the secret messages between the royal family and the nobles. She quickly found the loopholes and reminded her friend: "
i remember queen constance
Before his death, he did not designate any prince to inherit the crown of the empire, so even His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, who is expected by everyone, must wait until he fulfills the Jin Yanyi agreement before he can succeed to the throne——"
"No, Faina, Her Majesty the Queen designated an heir during her lifetime." Delphine replied calmly.
"What... how is this possible?" Faina blurted out, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief: "Isn't it rumored that she conspired to kill all the heirs? His Highness Lenaret fled in Eruin.
Pass one
Tribulation.”
"I saw it with my own eyes." Delphine said immediately and confidently, but of course she didn't see it with her own eyes. She stood far away when Her Majesty the Queen asked her to leave, and she just had some guesses in her heart. Of course, now she has
Can
To make sure that his guess was accurate: "Before his death that day, His Majesty appointed an heir. According to the agreement between the nobles and the king, she gave the ring to the Great Holy See Valla and my grandfather for safekeeping."
Faina seemed very difficult to understand: "You mean they concealed His Majesty's will? ...But, but this is too unbelievable, Delphine, can I be sure that everything you said is true?"
Delphine looked contemptuous: "Actually, the reason is very simple, because the successor designated by Her Majesty Constance is not anyone in the royal bloodline."
Even though Faina had tried her best to restrain herself, she still couldn't help but scream after hearing the news. Her voice was trembling and she asked her friend: "Delphine, the heir designated by His Majesty, will he be
You?"
Delphine covered her mouth and chuckled. She couldn't help laughing and said: "Where do you think you are? In fact, you know this person. He is not a political ally of Her Majesty the Queen. On the contrary, they can be said to be enemies."
Faina frowned. There were so many enemies of the Silver Queen that she couldn't even count them within the empire, let alone the vast sea outside the empire. How could she guess? But the inexplicable
, the first figure that emerged in her mind was an Eruin. She subconsciously looked at the prime minister's daughter, Delphine smiled slightly, and replied: "Maybe he is the person you are thinking of."
"I didn't think about such a person at all." Faina hurriedly defended without thinking, but she realized something was wrong when she said it, and her face immediately became hot.
She lowered her head like an ostrich.
The prime minister's daughter couldn't help but smile.
But when she thought of her ridiculous things, she soon stopped laughing.
"Your Majesty...how, why did you choose Bu, Mr. Brando? Although he is an earl, he is a noble of Eruin." Faina couldn't help but ask in the end.
"Because in a sense, Her Majesty the Queen is more far-sighted than any of us," Delphine also collected her emotions and said seriously. There was a glimmer of light in her light purple eyes, because that was exactly
He is the kind of person she admires the most: "The decision to change the Cruz nobles is just the beginning. The wind elves, Faenzan people, Madara's envoys and the lords of the Silver Bay countries who may arrive at any time have to convince everyone.
There is still hope of holding this fortress, so the forces of all parties must be balanced."
"This is an almost impossible task, but there is still a possibility -"
"Although the identities of the crown prince and his brother in St. Osol are rarely known, they will definitely be influenced by that person's opinion at critical moments. And the old white wolf in Silver Bay and the current nun princess
, and the relationship with him is even closer. The attitude of the druids of Ellanta has long been known. And there is another well-known fact, that is, the people of Silver also support him."
"Only he can combine these disintegrated forces. Now all he needs is a stage. In fact, Her Majesty the Queen has already given him the key to this stage."
"That is the highest crown of the Cruz empire, and she gave it away with her own hands."
That may be her last hope left to this world.
Delphine was silent.
One thousand four hundred and forty years ago, the dwarf king Carifon abandoned the covenant and withdrew from the Holy Alliance with the Earth Temple.
One thousand one hundred and thirty years ago, the Hazer people declared a break with the four major temples.
A thousand years ago, the four major temples established the country one after another.
From that moment on, the sacred oath was gone.
The covenant of the seven kings is gone this morning.
But perhaps on the holy white plain, people may one day gather together again, and when they elect the holy king holding the sword, a new era begins.
That time, he was Geert, the Lord of Fire.
And this time, what kind of name will be engraved on the azure stone tablet?
She clenched her fists.
"Faina, we must make Her Majesty the Queen's last wish come true and let the Holy Ring of Flame find its rightful owner," Delphine seriously warned his friend: "But I have to do one thing.
So you have to convince your father, my grandfather and Veronica Mangrove to support this matter."
"Me?" Faina pointed back at herself, extremely surprised: "How can I do it? What about His Highness Lenaret? That is his throne. Is it too much for us to do this? And Luther
There are many people among the nobles in Wegland who support him, including General Mangrove, and it is impossible for them to support us."
"But they must support the Holy Ring of Flame. The nobles cannot break the agreement," Delphine smiled enigmatically: "And this is not a plot to seize the throne. We are just borrowing it for a period of time. All this is for justice.
, I believe the eldest son of the emperor will understand."
"Really?" Although Faina was a little skeptical, she never thought that her friend would deceive her. Moreover, she had no idea what kind of thoughts were running in the mind of the prime minister.
"This is an agreement," Delphine winked at her playfully: "And don't worry, I will convince His Highness Lenaret."
Faina was silent for a moment, but finally made up her mind. She raised her head and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Delphine smiled slightly and then revealed his fox tail: "You have mastered the secret of the Holy Ring of Flame. As long as you convince your father, my grandfather and the Great Holy See Valla to agree, you can use this ring to influence the decisions of the nobles.
——Although I believe that my grandfather and the Holy See are also hesitant, you must understand that an agreement is an agreement after all, and they will compromise."
"Then there are the wind elves; the elves keep their promises, and if the Cruz people choose to stick to it, the wind elves will probably not sit idly by. The most important thing is that although the crown prince brother and sister have not exerted any influence on this negotiation yet,
But they have the final say. The elves will not disobey the will of the Wind Queen Ring. If you can represent the earl, I believe they will make their own choice——"
After Faina heard these words, she took a deep breath. She never dreamed that in this small room, within a mere moment, she and her friends would discuss such a big conspiracy.
This is not only a battle for the throne, but also determines the future direction of the entire continent. If what Delphine said is feasible, then wouldn't they decide the future fate of countless people in this moment?
Faina couldn't help but re-examine her friend, as if she wanted to see how much ambition was hidden in her.
"And you, Delphine, what exactly are you going to do?"
"Of course, in order to live up to your expectations, didn't I say that," Delphine replied with a smile: "What I want to do is such a thing."
At this moment, there was a regular knock on the door.
Delphine looked up.
"It seems the person I'm waiting for has arrived." She said.
Faina turned around and saw a strange lady opening the door and standing outside. She was extremely tall, much taller than most men. She was wearing a silver robe and holding a magic weapon.
Staff, with long bright silver hair hanging casually around her body.
"You're here, Miss Mysriel," Delphine said apologetically, "I'm sorry about Mr. Rajk."
"That's none of your business," Ms. Silver Dragon sighed: "Everyone may die in this war. I believe that my lover died well."
After pausing for a moment, she spoke again:
"Let's go, Leviathan has already entered the scene. If it is later, it will be difficult for us to leave here."
Delphine nodded.
"Excuse me, Miss Mysriel."
"Faina, we will meet on the Holy White Plains. Take care, my friend."
