The autumn wind, which the locals call Ankarar in the area south of the Anfor Mountains, is blowing across the vast white plains. Waves of different depths seem to be marching on a vast sea, and the undulating low hills seem to be
On the waves on the sea, a young lion man riding a golden lion was standing on the top of the waves, looking at the shining horizon in the north of the plain.
The male lion under it is wearing gorgeous armor, with beautiful pendants hanging from his mane. He stands in the shoulder-length white withered grass, swinging his huge head from time to time and sneezing slightly. The white field is
The symbol of Toquinine is also the origin of the name Holy White Plain. This plain stretches from the Silver Sand Coast in the west to the border of the human kingdom in the east. To its north, under the endless mountains, lies the man named Cruz.
A powerful empire.
The lion boy stared in that direction closely.
"Nair, we should go back. That's the limit of today's patrol range. If you go any further, I can't bear the responsibility." Behind the low hill, another lion man stood next to his mount.
, shouted to the young man on the mound.
The young lion-man replied without looking back: "It doesn't matter, we will cross there tomorrow." Its emerald-like eyes shone with determination. Even by human standards, it can be considered a pretty big beast.
A handsome lion man with a tassel-like golden mane and a well-proportioned physique. Although he is stronger than most humans, his muscle lines are very smooth. His upper body is exposed, and he only wears heavy clothing on his right shoulder and arm.
Shoulder armor, and a necklace made of animal teeth on the chest.
The lion man below cannot see the scenery behind the mound, but he knows that there once was a majestic fortress there, built of pure white stones brought from the plains. Now only the scattered rubble in the grass remains.
Proof that it still existed.
"Nel, humanity will pay the price," it said.
"Yes, Amon." The lion boy replied.
…
With the support of the maids, Qian spent a lot of time walking through the long corridor, and then saw 'that person' in Sidney's mouth in a courtyard filled with birds and flowers. It was different from what she imagined.
The person in front of her was neither a cold and stern noble nor a graceful lady, but a girl who was slightly younger than her - let's call it that, because the other party
Except for the indifference on her face that does not match her age, her body and face are all similar to a human girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. Her blond hair reaches her waist and her face is as delicate as a doll. She is wearing an extremely masculine silk dress.
The edge of the robe is rolled with ferret fur. The robe is so wide that it almost drags to the ground.
The girl looked in this direction with eyes as blue as the sea. A single majestic look silenced the maids. They took half a step back and let go of Akane, bowing respectfully and bowing, leaving Akane standing there uneasily.
Should you do it yourself?
"Are you the person they brought back from the south?" As soon as Silver Queen Constance spoke, her voice was like a string of silver bells falling on the marble surface of the corridor, ethereal and crisp. She looked at Akane, with a flash of splendor in her eyes:
"What a beauty."
"My name is Qian, may I ask... what exactly is this place?" Qian saw that the other person was a girl a few years younger than herself, and the uneasiness in her heart subsided a little, and she asked in a low voice. She did not expect that she would
She opened her mouth, but frightened the maids behind her half to death. Although Her Majesty the Queen is a woman, she is even more cold and ruthless than a man. They have never seen anyone dare to speak to Her Majesty like this. They are afraid that the Earl will not say anything.
Be careful of offending this moody Supreme Being.
But Constance didn't mind, but gave a rare smile: "This is the palace of a widow."
"You said...what?" Qian looked at her blankly.
The maids who were chirping before turned pale. His Majesty's words were already so obvious, but this Earl who seemed to be aloof from the world still asked carelessly, "What did you say?" This was different from calling him by his first name in front of His Majesty.
What's the difference? They could almost imagine Her Majesty the Queen being furious, followed by accusations and anger, and they couldn't help but tremble, like fallen leaves in the wind.
But unlike what they imagined, Constance found it very interesting. In her decades of palace life, she had never seen such a simple girl. She looked at Akane who seemed to be frightened, and felt a sense of pride in her heart.
He smiled narrowly and said: "You heard it right, this is the White Rose Garden of Saint-Contibe Palace. I think you should have heard of this place. As for me, I want to say that the entire palace, even
The wider land beyond this belongs to me, and I don’t think anyone will raise objections.”
Constance thought that this sentence should completely frighten the poor little girl into confusion, but she did not expect that the shock power of this sentence to Qian was far less than the previous sentence - because the mountain girl knew
What does "This is the Palace of Idiots" mean, but you may not know the profound meaning of the White Rose Garden in the Palace of San Canti. Under the rule of the Temple of Fire, anyone with a little knowledge should have heard of Cruz
The center of power of the empire - the White Rose Garden of the Palais Saint-Contibe. Unfortunately, Qian, who grew up in the mountains and forests of Chablis, is a rare exception. This place name with strong political overtones sounds the same to her as Val
There is no difference between the porter at No. 35 Halla Front Gate or the Baron Castle concierge on Firsburg Street.
Constance looked at the mountain girl with some disappointment, blinked her eyes, and asked her uneasily: "But how did I get here?"
"I asked you to come here." The Silver Queen is a queen after all. This failed prank on a whim was like a whirlpool on the water in her heart, disappearing in the blink of an eye, and she replied calmly.
This sentence made Akane fall silent.
Constance's words seemed to inject countless chaotic memory fragments into her mind, connecting the lost memory links to form a complete chain. She finally recalled that Oweina had sealed herself in the
What happened after the Invincible Barrier, and everything that really existed in that dream. She was transported from Lantonilan to the sea, and then passed through Graywind Port and Yan Castle, passing through most of the empire, and came to the politics of the empire.
The center was finally liberated from the crystal in the temple.
Although she still didn't quite understand how she had become an earl inexplicably, she was not an idiot. She also realized it now and realized who the 'girl' standing in front of her was.
"Your Majesty," she replied obviously uneasy.
Constance nodded with satisfaction.
The maids behind Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief and almost patted their chests with joy. The Earl didn't seem too stupid; but Qian obviously wanted to fight them to the end, because what she said next was immediately repeated.
The mood that they had just climbed out of the abyss instantly fell back to the bottom.
Constance watched Qian become silent in front of her. She frowned tightly and clenched her fists. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "I invite you to come here and let you become a member of the empire."
Count, you seem reluctant?"
"I don't want to be a count, Your Majesty, I just want to go back to Eruin."
The maids almost fainted after hearing the words of their Earl - if allowed - but after all, it was Her Majesty the Queen in front of them. She could only tremble, gritted her teeth, and hoped from the bottom of her heart that her Earl would be the best.
Don't say anything rebellious again.
Constance also seemed a little unhappy. She asked: "Why do you want to return to Eruin, because you want to answer your lord? I heard that the earl is still that young man - young
You are a charming person, so it is natural for a young girl like you to place your affection on her." She shook her head: "But you have to understand that you and him are destined to be fruitless. He has a bright future, so how can he like you?
, the person who can come to his bed in the future will either be the daughter of a certain Duke, or your Highness the Princess, and you are destined to be a shady mistress. Ask yourself, is that what you want?
?"
Akane looked at this girl who looked a few years younger than herself with wide eyes. She wanted to refute, but she couldn't. No, the lord was definitely not that kind of person in her mind, but to her,
What's the difference? The lord already has a fiancée. All she can do is watch all this happen silently. The Silver Queen's words are like a sharp thorn piercing her heart. As a lord,
Mistress, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have such delusions. "No, no, Qian, you must not think like this." She quickly shook her head and said to herself in her heart.
The mountain girl raised her head, her cheeks already burning hot.
Constance looked on with cold eyes, and then asked: "Do you still want to go back?"
Akane nodded.
Constance's face turned cold: "Do you think I will let the Azure Spear leave the empire? Little girl, I would rather destroy it than watch such a thing happen." Her voice was cold and piercing.
, the majesty belonging to the Supreme accumulated over many years almost made the hands and feet of several mountain girl girls behind Qian tremble, they were like sifting chaff, as if they would collapse at any time.
But Qian looked at Her Majesty the Queen stubbornly, and her eyes seemed to have answered this question - even if she died, she would die next to Brando.
It was not difficult for Constance to feel this persistence. She snorted coldly: "It's not difficult for you to die, but are you afraid of complicating your lord? He has a bright future."
The mountain girl trembled, clenched her fists and looked at her angrily.
Constance looked at Akane like this and couldn't help but shake her head. She raised her head and said to the frightened maids: "You guys go down first."
The maids, as if they had been granted amnesty, hurriedly retreated, but they couldn't help but secretly wink at Qian before leaving, as if they were afraid that this unworldly earl would offend His Majesty too much and accidentally lose his head.
The round-faced maid even risked her life to grab Akane's hand and squeeze it hard. This small gesture naturally fell into Constance's eyes. Her Majesty the Queen, who looked like a girl, pretended not to see it at all. Waiting until the maid
After everyone left, she said: "Although this is the first time we meet, it can be seen that they care about you. Do you know the situation of the mountain people in the empire?"
Akane was not a puppet, so she could naturally feel the concern from these girls of the same race. She was slightly moved in her heart, but she remained silent on her face.
"What a stubborn little girl." Constance replied: "But it won't do any good for you to insist on me like this. You are the Earl of the Empire today and you will always be the Earl of the Empire. Whether you accept this status or not, you
Everyone must bear allegiance to my sword." She warned again: "I can tell you clearly, Qian, from today on, if you dare to leave the White Rose Garden of Saint-Contibe Palace for even half a step, then I will send troops to attack Egypt.
Luyin, hang your beloved Earl."
Akane's face turned pale and she looked at her in disbelief, but Her Majesty the Queen of the Empire didn't care and continued: "Of course, until you swear allegiance to me, I will assign the land of the Four Realms to the Wilderness as promised.
As a fief, you have to remember that there is not much time left for you. You don’t want to bet on the future of your Lord Brando, right?"
When the mountain girl heard the name coming from her mouth, her whole body almost became shaky. She seemed to feel dizzy for a moment, and her heart was at a loss; but she didn't know where the courage came from, and she suddenly gritted her teeth and raised her hands.
, the emerald holy spear suddenly appeared in her hand, she let out a wild beast-like roar in her throat, raised the spear and stabbed Constance in the abdomen. With a soft hiss, the azure spear almost stabbed the Silver Queen.
At that moment, Qian seemed to be out of strength, gasping for air, but when she raised her head, she saw that there was no pain on Constance's face, but looked at her coldly: "...Your Majesty, Earl,
Is that your answer?"
"You..." Qian stared blankly at the gun in her hand.
Constance raised a hand, placed it on the Azure Spear, and then pulled the gun blade out of her body inch by inch. She glanced at her abdomen stained red with blood, and then at the mountain girl, disappointed.
He shook his head: "You are recognized by the Azure Knight. You and your Azure Spear cannot possibly hurt me. Go down. You need to sober up. But remember my words, if you dare to act rashly again,
I will be the first to operate on Eruin."
Akane was almost petrified and looked confused.
"Guards!" Constance covered her abdomen with one hand and shouted coldly: "Take Count Mitra down."
However, for a moment, the Silver Queen watched the guards carrying Qian away, and finally a look of unwillingness appeared in her eyes. She bared her teeth slightly, and then she released the hand on her lower abdomen. The palm of her hand was already blood red. However, she did not
Instead of summoning the priest or doctor, he glanced behind a certain bush in the garden and said coldly: "Come out, how can you be so sneaky?" In just a moment, the bushes there rustled and trembled.
A man in the uniform of a chamberlain came out. The man looked at Her Majesty the Queen with some fear, and asked flatteringly: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Do you want..."
"Who told you that you can talk cleverly in front of me," Constance interrupted him: "Why are you hiding there? Are all the people outside reporting the news dead?"
"Your Majesty, of course not, because it is a secret document from the Four Realms." The man was startled and quickly replied in a submissive manner.
"Secret documents from the Four Realms," Constance frowned, "What happened to the elves again?"
The man quickly came closer and whispered a few words to her.
After Constance heard this, her face darkened slightly. "Is this letter absolutely true?"
"It's absolutely true, Your Majesty."
…
In Yanirasu, north of the Gray Mountains, the invasion of the Toquinin lions is decreasing day by day. This situation is very unusual as the situation in the north becomes more and more tense day by day. The human scouts are heading north,
An unprecedented army was soon discovered on the grassland, and this army, which was gathering from all directions, was now heading north, approaching the Anver Pass. This news soon crossed the Sea of Glitters and crossed to the south.
Ampelsel goes deep into the interior and is delivered to those who need it.
"Mr. Brando." When Her Royal Highness the Princess called Brando in the courtyard, the latter was preparing saddles for the horses. Brando couldn't help being slightly startled when he saw Princess Griffin walking out of the house: "Princess
Your Highness, I am preparing to go to your place."
"Come and say goodbye to me?"
Brando scratched his hair in a very unaristocratic manner. Although he did intend to do this, it was quite embarrassing to be pointed out by Her Royal Highness to her face. After all, this is his home, and Her Royal Highness is his guest, so
It was a bit rude to leave the guests aside while rushing back to the territory. But now, it was not the time for him to care about being polite.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, my subordinate has been missing for quite some time. I have to hurry up." He could only reply.
Princess Griffin was slightly dissatisfied: "You were not so polite when you slammed the door out of my study that evening."
"Did I slam the door?" Brando was startled. He dared to play with Her Royal Highness the Princess by slamming the door. If word spread that he was a powerful minister, he might not be able to escape. That night, he was just too lazy to talk nonsense with Macaro.
Just taking a step first, why did it turn into slamming the door?
Princess Griffin looked at him quietly: "Mr. Brando, it doesn't matter that you are in conflict with the royal party's politics. I understand your ideals - but the old nobles have deep-rooted influence in the kingdom, and so does the royal party.
For some of them, if you offend them over and over again, they may not let it go."
Brando was a little disdainful. He knew too much about these old nobles mentioned by Her Royal Highness the Princess in his previous life. They were basically a group of useless people. The royal party could still make a difference among them, but it was nothing more than that. He felt that
He spread his hands and said: "I'm just expressing my attitude. As for the courage of Mr. Macaro and his brave men to cut off their wrists, I admire them very much, but I don't dare to compliment them. Today, the Cruz people can take away a person from the land of the kingdom, and tomorrow they can take away a person."
If more people leave, if Eruin can't even protect its people, then how can this ancient kingdom have any dignity?"
"I understand," Griffin replied: "But Sir Brando, what are you going to do? Are you really going to declare war on the empire as you said?"
"Are you here to dissuade me, Your Highness?"
Griffin shook his head slightly: "I can't persuade you, but I believe you will be measured, right, Mr. Brando."
Brando heard the helplessness in Her Royal Highness's tone, and his aura weakened a bit. Showing off one's power in front of a lady did not seem to be a face-saving thing. He was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "I'm not blind yet.
At that point, whether there is a war or not depends on the attitude of the empire, but I must bring my subordinates back from the Cruz people. After that, it is hard to say whether Her Majesty the Queen will be thunderous and angry. But in any case, E
Lu Yin needs to be prepared for war."
Her Royal Highness the Princess breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew you would have some sense of proportion."
She paused for a moment: "Then, I will appoint you as the head of Eruin's next envoy to the empire. What do you think, Lord Earl?"
Brando saw Her Royal Highness the Princess raising her head and looking at him. There seemed to be some cunning light hidden in her light silver-gray eyes. He couldn't help being slightly stunned: "Envoy, what envoy?" His mind was a little confused for a while.
I haven't turned around. Could it be that in order to recover the hostages, Her Royal Highness the Princess also formed a special mission to denounce the empire? Wait, this is too outrageous. He originally wanted to lead a small group of people to sneak into the empire and take Qian.
He secretly rescued her, but Her Royal Highness's great idea was simply much more powerful than his idea.
This is simply a slap in the face of the empire——
"Your Highness, this...is a little bit bad, okay." Brando was startled and answered carefully, carefully choosing his words.
"Why?"
"This..." Brando thought for a while and felt that Her Royal Highness the Princess might be a little too idealistic. He had to explain: "The Cruz people are quite good-looking, especially the Silver Queen. We are so
If we do that, wouldn’t it make it impossible for them to step down?”
"Where are you thinking, Lord Brando?" Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at him in surprise: "I asked you to serve as an envoy to Eruin from the countries participating in the Holy War Flame Temple."
"Holy war?" Brando couldn't help but lost his voice: "The holy war has begun?"
