The eighty-seventh act: The storm has gathered (1) Oh, please look forward to it)
Scene 87 The gathering storm (1) (Fifth update, so stay tuned)
Brando is indeed ready for a big one.
After experiencing a series of encounters in the Safrund Mine, silver brought vitality to the territory like blood injected into the veins.
At the same time, the benefits obtained from the rune dwarf's sanctuary have greatly exceeded everyone's imagination, and Brando soon found that he had enough power to cope with greater challenges.
But it's not just a challenge -
Because challenges also symbolize opportunities, just like risks and benefits always coexist. At this time, Brando set his sights further north, and he decided to give the nobles a louder voice.
A voice about the rise of new powers.
As part of the entire plan, this new force of foreign power must prove itself to this ancient kingdom as soon as possible, whether it is to give a warning to the enemy - or to give confidence to potential allies.
Brando considered that his letter should have almost been delivered to Princess Griffin.
Regardless of the reason, in short, with his consideration, the news of Sir Mintai's tragic defeat was finally the first to reach the hands of Count Gendenel.
Of course, it also reached the Wangli Cavalry Academy at the same time. On the mahogany desk in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess——
The half-elf princess's slender and thick eyelashes drooped slightly. She sat on the red velvet long-backed chair and looked at the two reports on the desk - to be precise, a letter and a piece of information written on parchment -
- Today she is wearing a well-tailored military uniform, but this specially made silver military uniform brings out the girl's delicate, soft and exquisite curves, and only adds a sense of seriousness and heroism of a soldier to this fragility -
Griffin did not speak. Her pale silver eyes only blinked slightly occasionally. After a while, she lightly tapped the table with her fingers before she came back from this rare state of concentration.
God comes.
She raised her head.
Nemesis and Overwell were not here, and there was another group of people standing in front of the desk. In fact, she only recognized one of them - the half-elf princess nodded to the old man.
"teacher."
The old man wearing a scholar's robe was none other than the palace master Leigh Woods. At this moment, he did not face Brando's arrogance, but saluted respectfully.
This princess is his most proud disciple, but she is also the hope for the revival of the royal party. Although he has absolute authority when imparting knowledge, at this time - he must show the humility that a minister should have.
"your Highness."
Princess Griffin smiled slightly, and her eyes swept over several other people one by one. She had never seen these people before, but she recognized each other's identities one by one.
The only young man who is in good spirits but a little overwhelmed is Eco.
The calm middle-aged man standing next to the young man, although he has been weathered, still maintains the aristocratic temperament - the half-elf girl remembers seeing him when she was very young, and she thinks it must be Macaro.
Macaro the cunning fox.
The former leader of the royal party.
Then next to him, the palms were long and slender, and he looked like a man who had been practicing swordsmanship for a long time. Griffith smiled slightly and saw that this was a cross-handed Buga.
The last one, without a doubt, is the rumored nobleman who is unique, the Earl of Violet. Although the half-elf princess has never met Baal, she has heard of him.
Her eyes rested on these four people one by one. With clues from past reports and her own meticulous observation, she was able to identify these famous guests without any introduction by Lee Woods.
The son of Grand Duke Lantonilan, the descendant of this generation of Cross Sword, the former leader of the royal party, and Earl Baal, who is known as the cunning fox of this generation.
These people are indeed famous.
Especially the youngest Eco.
Although Lantonilan is only a small principality on the border between Ampelser and Anlek, under the current situation, the support of Grand Duke Luen is crucial to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Fortunately, Grand Duke Lantonilan and Grand Duke Anlek had always had disagreements, and this disagreement had long since escalated into hatred.
Griffin's eyes stayed on Eco's face for a second longer.
This special treatment made this young man blush. He has not yet adapted to his past identity - anyone who suddenly jumps from an unknown mercenary to a prominent nobleman will probably do the same.
Feeling stunned.
What's more, he didn't expect that the rumored princess would be so beautiful.
As a half-elf, known as the most dazzling gem in Eruin's crown - Her Royal Highness Princess Griffin has a special kind of beauty in her temperament - it seems to have a kind of indifference unique to elves, but at the same time.
There is human affinity.
The blend of two completely opposite temperaments can easily make a person's heart beat when they see her for the first time.
Although he is still young, he already has the potential to conquer a country.
"Mr. Eco," the half-elf girl said: "And Mr. Macaro, Count Baal, and Mr. Buga, I'm glad that you can still come here to support the Corcova royal family at this time-"
She opened her mouth and revealed the identities of several people one by one, which obviously surprised several people.
But only Macaro was a little happy. It seemed to him that Her Royal Highness the Princess was indeed as outstanding as the rumors. The Corcova royal family had such an heir, which made him feel that hope was not so slim.
This cunning fox has always believed that people play the greatest role, but human hearts are equally important as human power. He is not pleased with the advancement of the eldest son of the king. Now that he sees the princess, he feels much relieved.
But for some reason, Macaro suddenly thought of another young man at this time.
He quickly shook his head to expel this experience from his memory.
The Earl of Violet on the side remained calm. He looked at the two reports on the princess's desk from a distance. He was not interested in the kind words spoken by the princess. As for judging their identities, it was not difficult. If
Princess Griffin can't even do this, so it would be too sorry for the rumors about her.
On the contrary, he was very interested in why the princess was so fascinated by the two reports. It was usually difficult for him to reveal his feelings to people like the princess, but when they came in just now,
The princess was reading the two reports almost holding her cheek.
While watching, he still smiled slightly.
Earl Baal bets that the princess must not even realize that she was laughing just now.
interesting!
This alternative among the nobles said to himself in his heart.
However, he did not speak rashly. Although he acted eclectically, he was not a reckless young man. At this time, it was not his turn to speak. He looked at Leawoods, and sure enough, the old man had already spoken:
"Your Highness, Princess, please don't say that. In fact, I am already a little later than expected," Lee Woods lowered his head and replied: "Because there were some delays on the way -" He raised his head and asked: "Your Highness, may I ask, what is the current situation in the north?"
How is the situation?"
"The clouds are gathering."
Princess Griffin looked back out the window and used a simple and appropriate word to describe the movements of the Dukes' coalition in the north——
"Their lobbyists have moved into Ampere Seal and it looks like they are almost ready to sway the greedy businessmen."
"Is there no countermeasure plan?" Macaro asked.
Everyone glanced at him, but more than ten years of experience abroad had changed this cunning fox in the past. He became much more practical and no longer followed the rules of the aristocratic circle.
Because under normal circumstances, it's not his turn to speak now.
But for this reason, Griffin's silver eyes lit up slightly. Unlike others, this princess admired such talents even more.
"I have asked Princess Magdar. You know that she has a wide range of contacts and is closely related to the temple. She may be able to reverse the situation." The half-elf girl replied.
"Is that the nun princess?" Leawoods asked tentatively.
The half-elf girl nodded.
"Are there any arrangements for protection?" Makaro asked immediately: "At this stage of the struggle, almost all actions of both the enemy and ourselves have been made transparent. As soon as Princess Magdale leaves this place, I am afraid she will be intercepted and killed——"
Griffin appreciated it even more, and she smiled slightly.
"Naturally, Nymesis will lead the team herself."
Buga raised his eyebrows. Nymesis was Mrs. Miller's daughter and was related to Grand Duke Luen. He had met her once a long time ago, when she was still a little girl, but she showed
His swordsmanship talent is already amazing.
He thought that after so many years, the other party must have grown into an outstanding swordsman.
Buga knew Nimesis, and Macaro was no exception. When he heard the name, he was obviously relieved, but he still said: "Although Mrs. Miller's daughter is outstanding, she is still a student of the college after all. I think
Princess, you need a more experienced leader——"
Princess Griffin nodded: "That's why I didn't ask them to set off immediately, but I'm waiting for everyone to arrive."
Macaro paused in surprise.
He and Buga glanced at each other, admiring the princess's flawless arrangements. Buga immediately took a step forward, put one hand on the sword and replied: "I'll do whatever it takes."
The half-elf girl nodded.
There was silence in the room. Although there was another secret agreement to be reached between Grand Duke Luen and the Corcova royal family, it was obviously not appropriate to talk about this kind of thing at this time.
But everyone felt that apart from this matter, there was nothing else to talk about——
The pressure from the north is getting tighter and tighter. Although everyone looks normal on the surface, they still feel a little tight inside, and naturally they are not in the mood to talk about anecdotes between nobles.
However, the half-elf princess was more relaxed. She smiled slightly at her guests: "Everyone, sit down. How about we talk about something lighter? I have heard some bad news every day in the past few days-"
"Tell me about some of the interesting things you did on the road. If I remember correctly, Mr. Eco seems to have been a mercenary, right? This is a unique and amazing experience among our nobles -" Princess Griffin
When he said this, he glanced at Macaro and obviously praised him as well.
"Also, I remember that Mr. Lee Woods, you are always on time. You obviously didn't encounter any little trouble this time. Can you tell me about it?"
she asked in a relaxed tone.
Eco is now in a state of fugue. Where does he have the ability to answer the princess's words? He can only hesitate and be speechless. However, Master Lee Woods spoke first:
"That's right, Your Highness Princess, we did encounter a little trouble -"
"Speaking of which, it's also related to golden apples!"
golden apple.
The half-elf girl felt her heart beat suddenly, and her attention suddenly focused. This subtle change in the princess's expression was hidden from almost everyone, but only Earl Baal caught it.
This unique nobleman raised his eyebrows.
…
