"Did you ask who he was delivering the letter for?"
"I asked, and he said he was an earl." The guard replied cautiously.
"Did he say who this letter was for, my father, my grandfather, or me?" Faina continued to ask.
The guard hesitated for a moment, but did not answer directly.
"What's wrong?" Faina finally noticed the abnormality of this servant, and couldn't help but frowned her beautiful brows and asked: "What are you afraid of?"
"He said... said... the count said that this letter was sent... to a bad, bad-tempered young lady from the Ring of Envelopes." The guard stumbled and replied, how could he listen?
This 'bad-tempered young lady' seems to be referring to the one in front of me. There are two rich young ladies in Lvov Castle, but one is gentle and lovely and is a well-known little angel, and the other is...
..., the guard quickly shook his head, feeling that he was not far from the dark prison.
But he didn't expect that when Faina heard this, instead of being angry, her blue eyes lit up: "Really, did he really say that?"
It's over, it's over, the guard thought, the eldest lady was already mad, and someone would probably be unlucky next, and the unlucky one would definitely not be the messenger - the messenger was just an explorer who dropped by, and the earl was far away.
No, the one who is going to be unlucky now can only be himself. Thinking of this, the latter couldn't help but nodded sadly: "That's it, Miss, I don't dare to say a word more."
"I didn't ask you if you were talking too much. Do you still dare to add insult to injury? Do you believe it?" Faina spread her hands and replied angrily.
The guard quickly took out the letter - the letter had obviously gone through a long journey and had not been well preserved. The surface was wrinkled. There was sealing wax on the envelope, and there was a morning star and a crescent moon stamp on it.
Ina recognized the seal at a glance as the seal of the Eruin envoy, and her eyes lit up again, "How did it happen like this?" she asked.
"Because the Anzlova side has been sealed off. I heard that the messenger encountered a little trouble when he came from there." The guard replied.
Only then did Faina think of the war in the southern part of the empire. Across the Evergreen Walkway, it seemed like it was in another world. The fact that this letter came here meant that it should have set out before the war. Otherwise, by this time
, Anzlova was completely unable to come in or out. She nodded secretly, opened the letter, and the guard on the side was waiting for her final fate in fear. He thought that since the earl dared to call her "bad-tempered young lady"
'This kind of title is probably not a friend, so it is self-evident what is in this letter. I don't know how angry the young lady in front of me will be after reading this letter.
Woolen cloth.
The maid who made a mistake last time was only imprisoned for a few days, but he felt that this time he might have to live in it for the rest of his life.
But she didn't expect Faina to finish reading the letter quickly - the letter was not long, just a few sentences - and then a smile appeared on her lips, thinking that this villain is really hateful, and he won't come at this time.
Doing herself a favor, she only wanted to entrust herself with the task. She cursed in her heart, and then said to the guard in a good mood: "Is the messenger still there?"
The guard was waiting for his inevitable misfortune. As a member of this castle, he was very aware of the temper of this young lady, so he did not take any chances. At this moment, he was confused and did not understand. He only nodded honestly:
"Still outside."
"Okay, then go down and don't forget to give the messenger a little reward."
"What?"
"What, what are you doing?" Faina frowned and looked at this servant.
"No...no, I mean," the guard asked in surprise, "Miss, do you need a reply?"
"Reply?" This sentence reminded Faina that although she often had many admirers in the Imperial City write to her, these letters never needed to be answered, and some letters came from informants and connections in the Imperial City.
It was not her turn to reply to those letters from the nobles she was close to, so in Faina's impression, the letters seemed to be only coming and going. Reply to the letter - she thought to herself, but suddenly she thought of the group of people outside the castle.
The knights in the inner court couldn't help but have a dark cloud in their hearts: it's better to wait for now.
"Oh, no need." Faina replied. For some reason, she didn't want outsiders to know about her relationship with Brando.
The guard was slightly startled. He thought that if that guy was the enemy of the eldest lady, then she would at least be furious. If not, she would believe it no matter what she said. What did she mean by "oh"? It was really confusing.
He was a little confused. For a moment, he just felt that the wealthy lady in front of him suddenly became mysterious. There were rumors that she seemed to have changed after returning from the Ring of Trade Winds. Now it seems that it is true.
But he didn't dare to talk too much. The unfortunate little maid had learned from the past. After hearing Faina's instructions, he hurriedly left as if he had received an amnesty, for fear that the young lady would remember the things about the dungeon again, which would be more of a loss than a gain.
After the guards left, Faina hesitated.
"The bad guy asked me to help him investigate the teacher's situation in the imperial capital, but what should I do?" She said to herself: "Not only the teacher, but also my grandfather and my father are also under house arrest. If I can
If so, I also want to know what happened in the imperial capital."
"By the way," a flash of brilliance suddenly flashed in her morning star-like eyes: "I should have thought of the Erichko family. The bad guy is not familiar with them, but the relationship between our family and them is still good.
"
"That's it."
The eldest lady nodded, then confidently opened the door and walked in.
As for the inner court knights outside the castle, she had made up her mind to leave them alone and ignore them. The Mosque Principality still had some autonomy in the Cruz Empire.
…
Not to mention the chaotic reactions of everyone in Fort Lovov after hearing the bad news. After comforting her only sister, Faina immediately started writing a letter and went to the Rowson Territory in Evergreen Walkway, because since Vero
After Nika was placed under house arrest, in fact at this moment the daily affairs of the entire Erichko family fell on her brother Earl Rodney, and this Earl was currently serving as the Queen's special envoy in Jueton, south of the Violet Valley.
The city cooperated with Count Wagner of the White Legion.
Of course, it sounds ridiculous to serve as the Queen's special envoy as the commander of the Blue Legion, but the nobles all know that this is just the royal family's appeasement to the Erichko family. In fact, most people think that Her Majesty the Queen has no intention to support Veronica.
The punishment for wrongdoing is just a statement. Everyone knows the significance of this female war goddess to the empire. It is impossible for her to stay in the imperial capital for too long at this time.
As for Earl Rodney himself, he may think so too, or he may have other ideas, but the Earl has already had a reputation for being dandy and weak, so not many people care about the opinions of this 'little man' of the Erichko family.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Count Rodney, the only brother of the Empire Goddess of War Veronica and the nominal heir to the Erichko family, is a 'little man'. It is just because this family is too famous in the empire.
Everyone in the family is a hero - Veronica's grandfather, the Grand Duke of Tulip, was once the founder of the Blue Legion. Before his time, there were only three legions in the empire, and it was this Duke.
He single-handedly founded the Blue Sky; at the same time, he was also one of the most famous sword masters in the previous empire. Half of the swordsmanship practiced by Veronica was created by this grandfather. Starting from him, Ai
Only then did the ancient Ruishiko family return to the center of honor and power.
And Veronica's father is the famous dictator Lambert. This man's reputation in Faenzian is even far greater than his reputation in the empire. If anyone has replaced Gray in the past three hundred years,
The Hughes Knights lost their armor and cried out for their fathers and mothers, so there was only this Duke. In his time, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire once praised it as the Great Wall of the North of the Empire, and after him, the Cruz people
It is almost impossible to take any advantage from the Faenzan people, not to mention that in the past thirty years, the Gracius people have produced a genius general, 'Lion' Lorne. In contrast to this difference, the Empire
People, especially the residents in the north of the empire, miss this Duke even more.
As for this generation of the family, needless to say, there is naturally the famous Veronica. The empire’s goddess of war got her name from the Hazel people. Almost everyone regards her as Lambert’s heir.
, If Eruin hadn’t produced the Sword Master Darus more than ten years ago, which obscured the light of almost everyone at the same time, I am afraid that in that era, when she was still young, she would have become the rising star of the empire.
Compared with these elders and his even more powerful sister, Earl Rodney's reputation is not outstanding. Although to be fair, as a descendant of a large family, this Earl is still considered a high-ranking figure in the imperial aristocratic circle.
It is above the level. At least for this period of time, the Erichko family has not had any trouble in his hands. On the contrary, with the favoritism of Her Majesty the Queen, everyone was surprised to find that the relationship between the Earl and the royal family seemed to be
One step closer.
At this moment, the earl is even more dedicated to his current job, so much so that his positivity even seems a bit excessive in the eyes of everyone——
Neither Her Majesty the Queen nor the White Legion can really allow a person from the Erichko family to interfere in the affairs of the Legion. This is an obvious fact - and the Earl may be too optimistic about his situation.
This is the secret view of most people. In the imperial capital, the term "carefree fool" has even spread. Count Rodney himself has heard of this statement, and he does not feel the slightest.
Embarrassed, but just laughed with disdain.
A bunch of idle idiots!
This is the earl's evaluation of those confused guys in Rushta. At this moment, no one understands the importance of his position better than him.
The so-called cooperating with Earl Wagner is just a superficial statement. In fact, it should be the other way around. It is the Earl who is cooperating with him. He is here not only to monitor the movements of Evergreen Corridor, but in fact the entire empire.
Few people know what happened on the other side of Andzlova, and no one knows it better than him at this moment.
However, he carefully maintained this small sense of superiority and did not show it on his face. In order to satisfy those idiots in the imperial capital, he had to play the role of an idiot for His Majesty for a while longer. The actual benefits must be different.
, This is nothing at all. But at this moment Rodney was a little angry. He frowned and stared at the guy in front of him who was wrapped in a long cloak. He remembered that he had said it many times, let this guy
It would be best if an agent came to contact him as early as possible. It seems that these guys from the Qiaogendigang underground can't trust anyone except themselves, so they have to go in person.
But this is the territory of the White Legion after all. It would be fun if those people found out that their enemies were coming and going within their control and contacted him as the special envoy.
When he thought about the risks involved, he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.
The key is that he doesn't know what Count Wagner's position is here, and who Her Majesty the Queen has in her hands. Apart from herself, I'm afraid not many outsiders know, and he doesn't dare to mess up this matter.
No one knows better than him how involved this matter is.
And it was precisely because of this that Rodney had to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice to the mysterious guy in front of him: "I don't care how many times this reminds you, but I hope this is the last time. Time is limited.
, what’s the situation with Anzlova now, how long do I have to wait for that person?”
"My Lord Earl," the mysterious man's attitude was very respectful, and he was not angry at all because of Rodney's rudeness, but his voice was a little hoarse: "I understand your concerns, but this time I went there in person because
The situation has changed. There were some problems with our actions. That damn dwarf messed up everything and killed Ms. Sargos. But fortunately, the result has not changed. Now the Dragon Queen hopes that the Earl can return to Lu immediately.
Star, and convey this information to Her Majesty the Queen."
Rodney was slightly startled after hearing these words. He was about to have an attack, but when he heard the word "Dragon Queen", he suppressed it again. Of course he understood what kind of existence this adult was in the empire at this moment.
Return to the Imperial Capital—
Rodney frowned. He instinctively felt that he didn't want to go back to that place - he knew better than anyone else that that place was now a terrible whirlpool that could silently swallow everyone at any time. Although he personally participated
He came here, but he was not an idiot after all. He had already guessed that the reason why Her Majesty the Queen attracted him was probably because she hoped that he could stabilize the Blue Army.
Only his sister, who knew only a little about politics, thought that this was still limited to the scope of political struggles within the empire. He could see the changes in Her Majesty the Queen more clearly than anyone else, but he knew that there was one person who could see it more clearly than he -
That Duke Helix in the mosaic collar, it's a pity that he made a wrong choice.
After listening to the mysterious man's words, he didn't comment, and just nodded slightly.
"I understand, I'll leave right away."
"No," the mysterious man stopped, "You'd better wait."
"What?" Rodney frowned. His respect for the Dragon Queen would not extend to these little people. The other party angered him over and over again. Naturally, he would not hesitate to make these people understand their anger.
own fate.
The mysterious man seemed to be aware of the Lord's anger and quickly explained: "Sir Rodney, there is no need to doubt that I am doing this for your own good. As far as I know, it won't take long for a letter to be delivered to you."
.”
"A letter?" Rodney was slightly startled.
"I'm afraid it's a letter from Castle Lovov, my lord."
The earl's eyes lit up slightly: "Has the news that Grand Duke Huaye been arrested and imprisoned been released?"
The mysterious man nodded.
"I understand, I will go see the eldest lady. Her Majesty the Queen wants me to take her to the imperial capital?" Rodney asked.
"I don't know about this, but when the time comes, you can ask the Dragon Queen yourself for advice." The mysterious man replied rustlingly.
After these damn lizardmen moved out the dragon again, Rodney gritted his teeth and finally nodded. He knew in his heart that since Her Majesty the Queen had released the news, I am afraid that the final move is not far away. At this time,
It would be better if he could return to that damn place a day later, and he would never have any objections.
“I just don’t know what’s going on in the imperial capital now—”
He thought to himself, and thinking of this, he raised his head and stared at the hidden guy in front of him, and said: "Mr. Salix, besides this, do you have anything else to do?"
"Of course not, unless the earl wants to keep me here for tea." The mysterious man chuckled and replied in a hoarse voice.
Rodney wished that this guy would die immediately and leave him to drink tea. If he wasn't serving Her Majesty the Queen, he wouldn't bother to stay with these stinky guys, so he replied angrily: "Salix
Sir, you are fine, but I have one more thing. There is also Eruin's envoy in Andzlova. I would like to ask where those people have gone. It seems that since the fall of Vargas, they have
There is no news at all, didn’t you find them?”
Hearing this question, the mysterious man who had always been calm and composed suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Of course Rodney noticed this subtle movement.
"...This is exactly what I forgot to say, I'm sorry," the mysterious man coughed awkwardly: "I'm afraid the Eruin envoy is on its way to Loen Port at the moment."
"What!?"
