The maid Adesha looked out of the terrace with some worry. The sky was clear and blue, but under the veil-like clouds, there seemed to be some kind of uneasy haze hidden in this increasingly heavy port. In her eyes,
A stretch of tile-red roofs stretches into the distance, and the magnificent building complex depicts a unique landscape in the Pasha Road area.
That is the glitz and refinement of the nobility, with a comfortable atmosphere everywhere. But the traces left by the heavy rain are still there, and the broken branches in the courtyard that have not been cleaned seem to represent some kind of bad omen.
"I asked someone to clean them up. The people down there are too shameless." Adessa sighed and said softly. But it was more like asking softly than talking to herself.
She stared at the back of the man on the terrace. His long, dark brown and almost black hair flowed like a waterfall on the red cloak. The edge of the cloak was trimmed with snow-white fur and hung down to the ground.
"Adessa, no need. Anyway, I can't notice it. You know that, in fact, you don't need to be so careful." The man said, his voice as gentle as the gurgling water. He raised his head, as if he was deeply moved.
Taking a breath: "Well... do you feel it? This is the smell after the storm. Only now is the air the cleanest, as if the world has become brand new."
"But in fact, it is very dirty outside at this time of year, with branches broken by the wind and tiles blown off the roof," Adessa replied: "For ordinary people, going out on the street at this time is also a mess.
A dangerous thing."
"Hey, Adesha, if you don't tell me, I won't know. You are always like this. Is this world so worthless in your eyes?" The man couldn't help but smile bitterly. Adesha saw it.
He sighed, a little uneasy, but still replied: "My job is to tell you what I saw, Your Highness."
The man smiled slightly and did not answer.
She suddenly saw a flock of white doves flying from a certain direction, which should be the square on Newsock Street. The maid stared blankly at the birds spreading their wings and flying high. But it was not that she suddenly felt a desire for freedom; she turned around,
Looking at his master, he asked with some worry: "Your Highness, it has been many days."
"Don't worry." The man replied. Adessa heard that his tone was not so sure, but she knew her master's temper very well, so she stopped speaking. Instead, she hid the uneasiness in her heart well.
.
This is something she has become accustomed to.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Adessa quietly watched the flock of pigeons flying away. She suddenly remembered the stories she had heard from the old people when she was a child. It was said that when the birds in the north migrated south, they would pass through the storm and rain down from the sky.
Fighting against their fate day after day in the heavy rain and lightning, but is it really possible? She couldn't help but look at the back.
…
Outside the carriage, the bustling shops constitute a unique landscape of the port city. Although the atmosphere of war seems to have faded just a little bit, the merchants have once again filled Ampelsel with prosperous vitality.
Brando opened the carriage door, and then carefully helped Antitina out of the carriage. This made the staff lady a little embarrassed. As a servant, this should be her job.
Instead of letting the lord do the opposite.
Next was the business lady. Roman immediately jumped from the carriage into Brando's arms. Then the business lady giggled, causing Brando to pull her tender face in annoyance.
"Ah!" Roman's little eyebrows immediately stood up.
Brando raised his head and looked at the carriage on the other side of the square. The curtain of the carriage was slightly opened, and the half-elf girl watched them from behind, and then nodded slightly to him.
Although Her Royal Highness the Princess was eager to find a way to calm down the chaos in the north as soon as possible, the time to meet with Priest Wood was eventually postponed to the next day——
The current Amperesel is filled with forces from all sides. But in the final analysis, the power of the princess has the upper hand, followed by the temple and the nobles of the north. The temple was naturally strong after this mistake that everyone knows.
I had to hide it under the countertop temporarily.
As the ultimate responsible person for this incident, Wood is actually no longer the number one figure in the Temple of Fire in Port Ampelsel - after he left the position of chief priest, the Temple has already decided on a new candidate.
, the new chief priest Gladys is not well-known in the temple, but Brando is very familiar with this consistent neutral; this is a good old man, who later served as the chief priest in the Principality of Antobra, and he has always called on the temple to maintain
With a fair and neutral attitude, the temple's sending this person to Amperesel can also show the change in the attitude of the Cruz people towards the northern and southern forces. The new chief priest will not arrive at this port until at least the middle of the year, so Wood is still taking care of both.
Some daily affairs of the chief priest.
Yesterday, when the princess took him to meet with the acting archpriest Wood, she did not expect that the latter happened to be invited to go out of the city to appease the people of the parish. It was not until early the next morning that the invitation from the officiant was delivered to the two of them by a servant.
This time Brando brought Antitina with him, but the businessman eldest lady was clamoring to go with him, because of some reasons - mainly the performance of the eldest lady in the last battle that made everyone pay attention, and the addition of Titan
In a series of discussions about the ownership of the wreckage, Lord Roman's key identity as the actual manipulator - the young lady's name is already well known to the port, so Brando took her with him to the wreckage.
It's not a very shocking thing. Of course, the most important thing is that Brando understands that it is absolutely impossible for him to defeat the shameless business lady.
Princess Griffin brought her younger brother with her. The four-person carriage quickly met in the central square. At the invitation of Her Highness the Princess, Brando and the staff lady changed carriages, and the three of them crowded into Her Highness the Princess.
In the carriage painted with lilies and crescent moon emblems, Brando first saw the little prince Haruze sitting next to the princess.
The historical Prince Haruze sat quietly next to his sister. Just like Brando's impression a few years later, he was still a quiet and weak young man, or rather a child. Both of his hands were a little cramped.
The ground is placed on your knees, your head hanging. The soft hair on your forehead almost hangs to the collar on your chest. If you weren't wearing a white shirt with the royal crest and a lion-patterned sword, it would be difficult for you to be the first.
Eyes believe that this will be the future king of Eruin.
Seeing her brother like this, Griffin couldn't help but sigh. In her opinion, Brando will definitely occupy an important position in this kingdom in the future. She originally wanted her brother to interact with this kingdom first
In fact, she even hopes that Brando can become Haruze's teacher - this is not a fantasy. Brando's current strength is fully qualified to take up this position. If
He still needs to be humble, so except for old monsters from the ZTE era like Tulaman, no one in Eruin can honestly say that they are qualified to teach His Highness the Prince.
But Her Royal Highness also knows that based on her brother's performance, it may be difficult for her as a 'knight' to judge. After all, the status of teacher and student complement each other. In her opinion, Brando does not need a royal student to express himself.
Although he has an identity, he may not be willing to teach an incompetent disciple to tarnish his face.
Of course, some people may covet this position because they want to show favor to the royal family. Griffith is used to seeing such cases. This is part of the reason why Overwell was willing to teach her swordsmanship. Everyone knows that Ober Gu Qi
Shi's love for his daughter.
But unfortunately, not everyone is Sir Wolf, and not everyone is Brando. Thinking of this, Princess Griffin could only sigh quietly.
But what she didn't expect was that when she felt that things were a little hopeless, Brando, who was sitting quietly beside him, was very interested in the little prince. He was sitting next to the staff lady, and the princess did not speak for a while. The businessman
The young lady was curiously opening the drawer on the side of the carriage and looking for snacks inside - it was obviously not the first time she had ridden in Princess Griffin's carriage. In short, no one in the carriage started a conversation for a while.
In the silence, Brando carefully looked at the future king of Eruin opposite him.
Tell the truth.
This was the first time he had seen this little prince in this life, and even including the previous life, he had only met this prince a few times. Although at that time he was at the end of Eruin ZTE
I have been in contact with the upper class circles of this kingdom for a period of time, but I can never say that I am familiar with this prince.
certainly.
Nominally speaking, Haruze should be considered the king of Eruin at that time.
However, due to some well-known reasons, such as the obstruction of Grand Duke Anlek, the future King may not be independent for a day. And in fact, he himself lacks this ability. Haruze in Brando's memory
The prince is just as introverted and cowardly as he is now. This is almost the most fatal flaw of a royal family - or even a nobleman.
Cruz's famous lord of the lowlanders, Hodland has a famous line in the game: "Nobles can be vicious, insidious, greedy, and even mediocre, but they must not lack responsibility!"
And Prince Haruze happens to be such a person.
His temperament is said to be closely related to the new queen of Aubugu VII. This is just a rumor, but the palace struggle has more or less cultivated the timid and fearful temperament of His Royal Highness the Prince; although Princess Griffith is deeply fond of
He was favored by the old king, but Brando knew that in the royal family, Sifah, the queen's side, had always had the upper hand.
Prince Haruze in history did not finally wake up until his sister, Princess Griffiin, was murdered. But it was too late. Later, Madara invaded Eruin for the third time, and Eruin
perish.
After that, Brando left this sad place. Later, there were rumors that Eco and Yula's daughter Elara reorganized Eruin's resistance organization. Some people said that Prince Haruze broke up in the capital city.
He did not die in the fire, but was rescued by Buga the Cross-Hand, and later married Elara.
But these were all rumors, and no one had ever seen it with their own eyes, let alone Brando, who was already far away in St. Osol at that time.
But history did not make Brando despise this prince. On the contrary, it just deepened his curiosity. He read an article on the Internet where an Eruin netizen introduced this prince. It is said that Haru
Although Prince Ze is shy and introverted, he is actually very outstanding in many aspects, especially his talent in learning magic and swordsmanship.
The article even hinted that His Highness the Prince might be the Chosen One.
Of course, this is just a one-sided statement for Brando. But it does not prevent him from exploring the truth. As far as he knows, Prince Haruze has learned swordsmanship under the guidance of Princess Griffin since he was a child. It is said that there has been nothing wrong with him.
As a result, this also made Her Royal Highness the Princess very desperate. So where did the argument for that article come from?
Or is it just to attract attention?
Brando looked at the hands of the little prince Haruze. They were as white and slender as a woman. He couldn't help but shook his head. These were not hands that used swords all year round, let alone the hands of a person with outstanding swordsmanship talent.
.
As we all know, any talent comes from hard training. Even a swordsman genius like Buga is the fruit of countless hours of training. There is never something for nothing in this world - of course, Brando knows his
The situation is an exception, but he does not think that Prince Haruze is a time traveler like himself.
But in history, did the little prince hate swordsmanship, or was he not good at swordsmanship? Which one is right? Brando was sitting in the carriage, but Haruze seemed to notice his gaze and was frightened.
I had to shrink my hand.
"What's wrong?" Her Royal Highness the Princess immediately realized her brother's abnormality, and she asked with some displeasure. The education of the royal family requires their descendants to maintain a minimum appearance under any circumstances, and today Haruze's performance was obviously a little...
Too much.
She knew that her brother had always been introverted and shy, but being so helpless was too much. Especially she didn't want Haruze to leave the impression that he could be bullied in front of Brando.
Seeing his sister become serious, Haruze was startled and stammered: "No...it's nothing, sister."
"Your Highness, the little prince is only ten years old this year, right? At this age, it seems too early to practice magic." Brando suddenly narrowed his eyes and said.
Nobles often let their children learn magic and knowledge from some famous court wizards, such as the chief court wizard Leigh Woods who died in the Battle of Ampelsel to Princess Griffin, and the Strange Seeker Garrok to the King.
The eldest son and other sisters.
But in fact, all Warnd's magic will eventually involve extracting the power from the sea of magic. Although it is designed to weave laws, dark magic will more or less affect the caster, so most wizards are relatively weak.
.
For the same reason, generally speaking, although wizard apprentices usually start learning relevant knowledge when they are four or five years old, they usually start learning magic after they reach adulthood. Or at least until they are thirteen years old.
But Brando found something interesting in Haruze.
He was almost sure that this little prince had practiced black magic.
