Lucien hugged Natasha sideways and walked steadily towards the guest room at the end of the corridor. Such a posture and such gentleness, even if his nose smelled the strong smell of blood and the slightly sour smell of toxins, it was very pleasant.
I was so satisfied that I couldn't hide my smile.
Natasha's emotions are quite complicated. Whether it is self-perception or actual performance, she is undoubtedly a brave knight. But for a brave and determined knight like herself to be held by Lucien like this, it's really a shame.
It was an indescribable weakness and shame, but it was Lucien who was holding him. His heartbeat, his smell, and his chest were all so familiar, making him feel warm and sweet, so he was filled with joy.
She was embarrassed and annoyed again, and she tried hard to restrain herself from showing it on her face, and was ridiculed by Lucien.
In this contradictory feeling of being uncomfortable and not wanting to leave, Natasha didn't notice that there was an unconcealable smile on her lips until Lucien stopped at the door of a guest room.
"There is also a magical array in the guest room of Duke James' house?" Lucien was quite surprised.
Natasha tried hard to divert her attention from the princess's hug, looked at the room and said: "The several guest rooms on this floor are used by Duke James to receive royal members and other nobles, so the magic circle is independent of the entire manor.
Defense, give guests a private space that is protected from prying eyes.”
As she answered, she saw Lucien using his mental power to push open the door and walk in.
It was very spacious inside, with a living room, a bedroom, a study, a piano, a bar and other things. As Lucien closed the door and activated the magical array, the whole room was suddenly isolated from the manor, quiet and peaceful, like
A private space for just two people.
Natasha knew that Lucien was doing this just in case. He must have been a little distracted when he guided her to use the "Health Belt". If he was careless and encountered another enemy attack, he would be in big trouble.
Suddenly, she felt a soft and comfortable touch on her back, and then she realized that she was placed on the velvet quilt in the bedroom by Lucien, while Lucien was half-kneeling by the bed, looking at her with deep and focused black eyes.
Lucien's voice was slightly lowered: "Just now you..."
Before she finished speaking, Natasha interrupted Lucien and said with a smile: "There is no need for thanks between us. This is my protective concept as a knight and wife. If it were you, I think you would do the same."
The same choice, when you inserted your left hand into my neck, I was shocked."
There was no shyness or flinching, she spoke the word wife generously and honestly.
As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand and held Lucien's palm. Their fingers interlocked and their palms faced each other. A faint warmth spread to Lucien's heart.
There was no need to say anything or do anything else. Lucien held Natasha's right hand tightly, feeling the warm and meaningful atmosphere between the two. Then he looked at her silver-purple eyes and slowly bowed his head,
Kissed her on the lips.
Natasha blinked her eyes, closed her eyes slowly, enjoying the kiss, but never let go of her right hands.
Everything was slow and gentle, but it was more intoxicating for the two of them than passion.
After a while, her lips parted, Natasha's eyes became slightly hazy and then regained their clarity, she said with a smile: "Hurry up and help me suppress the 'powerless kiss..."
"I'm here to help you suppress the 'powerless kiss,..." Lucien also smiled at the same time, and then the two of them stopped immediately and looked at each other and smiled, with a faint tacit understanding lingering between their eyes.
"Hurry up, if we delay our recovery because of romance and are attacked and killed by subsequent enemies, it will really become one of the top ten stupidest ways to die in Arlinge." Natasha was able to understand the situation as always.
Lucien chuckled and said: "There should be no subsequent enemies." If he had not received the secret message from teacher Fernando, he would have helped Natasha suppress it without wasting any time in the secret room. But now, he has no strength.
Her Majesty the Queen is not something you come across very often.
Natasha raised her eyebrows: "Granny Hathaway, has His Excellency the Storm Lord arrived?"
She believed that Lucien dared to come to the private party because he was on guard, so when she heard Lucien's words, she tacitly and keenly thought of "reinforcements".
"We'll talk about the details later. I'll help you recover first." Lucien nodded. Considering that Duke James would notify the Heart of Time to come after handling the scene, he couldn't stay long, so he used "Neutralizing Toxin" and other magic to help.
Natasha suppresses the "powerless kiss".
Natasha withdrew her attention and began to gather her will under the brief pressure of "Powerless Kiss". After dozens of seconds, her silver-purple eyes glowed with a sharp, cold light.
Seeing this, Lucien's mental power spread to Natasha through the right hands that were still held together, guiding her through the many magic barriers of the "Health Belt" to the core, and then directly erased his mark.
Natasha was slightly surprised, but she couldn't think too much at the critical moment and quickly left her mark on the central circle.
The health belt around her waist glowed with a soft white light, and her passive immunity to legendary toxins was exerted, and a little dark green gas was highlighted and eliminated.
After more than ten seconds, Natasha suddenly waved her left hand and said with emotion: "It feels so uncomfortable to have no strength."
Then she moved her eyes to Lucien: "How did you erase your mark?"
"I have the Ring of Kangas on me. The effect of the health belt is very repetitive, but you don't have such good immunity to toxins, diseases and negative energy attacks." Lucien said with a smile.
Although the Holm royal family is wealthy, and Natasha also has an elder who is a great arcanist, high-end items, especially high-end items with special functions, have always been rare, even for a vampire prince like Rhine who has lived for who knows how many thousands of years.
, there are only so many, so she does have equipment to protect against toxins and other damage, but it is not as good as a health belt.
Natasha regained her strength and was cleaning the blood on her body with magical items. She joked with a smile: "What a precious gift. It is worthy of Mr. Evans, who is known as the 'mobile treasure house.'"
This is what Gwell said just now.
"You are my wife, my Majesty the Queen. Nothing is more precious than you." Lucien also has a talent for talking about love.!
Natasha chuckled. Lucien's words were very helpful, but she deliberately said: "You picked three items from Mr. Rhine, and gave them all to me except for one scroll.
That adventure was such a busy time.”
When she said this, Lucien realized that almost all the items he got from Mr. Rhine's treasure house were given to Natasha, but it was very worthwhile to be able to be in love with each other. Mr. Rhine is really a good person, no
Do you know when he said going to the treasure house on the bottom floor to pick an item?
"By the way, didn't you have something to say just now?" After Natasha knew that Hathaway was nearby, she relaxed and almost forgot about it.
Lucien cautiously cast several spells again to prevent others from prying, and then connected his mind to Natasha and said: "The driving force behind this matter is Salde... He wants..."
There is no need to hide this kind of thing from Natasha, she is the Queen of Holm, and there will be no way around her when the time comes, and her inner tendency is also very obvious.
"I don't trust Sard too much. He has always been too mysterious and unpredictable." Natasha expressed her opinion.
Lucien nodded: "No one knows what secrets he has obtained in the world of the dead, so it is difficult to judge his true purpose. We must be prepared for his big conspiracy and cannot blindly trust him."
"Your Excellency Ketonia was attracted by him... What were the test results of the flesh and blood you went to visit last time?" Natasha asked seriously and solemnly.
Lucien thought for a moment and did not hide anything: "The necromancers of the Pale Hand have done a lot of research on cells. They used magic based on this knowledge to test the age of His Royal Highness when he died. Although the error is about half a year, there is no doubt that
It has been shown that His Royal Highness the Prince's true age at the time of death was two to three years older than he should have been, and you can obtain confirmation from His Excellency Hathaway."
This test result is of great importance. Lucien is not easy to use electromagnetic communication technology, so coming to the banquet to meet Natasha also includes the purpose of conveying this news.
Natasha listened expressionlessly, and then sighed for a long time, showing a bit of sadness: "I don't believe in Sard anymore..."
Then, she calmed down her emotions, looked at Lucien's worried expression, and smiled like a real queen and knight: "Don't worry, I won't be reckless or impulsive. You need to have skills and rhythm to charge head-on and defeat the enemy."
"I will fully cooperate with them and wait until the region here is divided before trying Ketonia on this charge. By then, he will have no backup and will not cause panic among the nobles."
After learning the cause of death of her loved one, she truly made up her mind.
"At that time, the council and I will be on your side." Lucien reached out and touched Natasha's hair, making her a little uncomfortable. He deliberately changed the subject and chuckled: "By the way, Lucien
Well, let me tell you a secret..."
After hearing this secret through the spiritual connection, Lucien couldn't help but smile on his face: "This is very good, I feel relieved a lot."
After a pause, Lucien looked at the agitated nobles outside the window, and said softly: "You should inform Ketonia soon. It is not convenient for me to meet him, so I leave here first. When you face him, you don't have to
Worry, Mr. Hathaway is nearby and paying attention to everything."
"Okay." Natasha suddenly showed a wicked smile, "It should be a few minutes, Lucien, I haven't recovered my strength yet, please help me take off this dress and put on a new one."
Her hunting suit was transformed from a high-level knight uniform. Without it, it might not have been able to withstand Gwell for so long before. However, under the corrosive damage such as curses and toxins, this item was completely destroyed and was everywhere.
It was cracks and holes that could not be repaired like the Violet Guardian Armor. Fortunately, she still had a few pieces of high-level armor and knight uniforms after inheriting the throne, so she opened the storage bag and took out one that transformed into a purple dress.
Knight uniforms, as well as underwear and stockings, etc.
Lucien's heartbeat quickened and his breathing became a little rapid: "There's not much time..."
"You're overthinking it, but I just don't have enough time to ask you to change it for me." Natasha said with a bright smile, "This is a 'reward' for hugging me like you did just now."
Lucien's smile suddenly froze on his face.
Duke James opened another secret room in the magic circle. Natasha's long purple hair was pulled up again, and there was a faint flush on her face that could not go away for a long time.
At this time, Duke James led a tall old man with gray hair in. His dark blue eyes seemed to contain an endless river of time.
"Your Majesty the Queen." Ketonia saluted heavily, "The Duke of York made a big mistake and even got involved in the assassination of you. But please see that he was just watching and urging, without any real plan, and how many of the Ketonia family
Give him a certain amount of generosity for his hundreds of years of loyalty, and the Ketonian family and I will guard you even more loyally."
He had obtained a confession from David and went directly to Natasha to confess and seek compromise and exchange.
Natasha said solemnly and forcefully: "If you can even compromise and give in to the action of assassinating me, wouldn't it mean that you are telling others that you can assassinate me, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will not be severely punished. If you do this,
I don’t think I’ll live long.”
Ketonia wanted to speak again, but Natasha stopped her with a gesture:
"So, York and Baladi must die!"
"According to the charge of treason, the Baladi family who was the mastermind will be deprived of their title and their territory will be taken back. Since York is only slightly involved, the Ctonia family will only be traced to individuals and will not affect the family."
"Your Excellency Ketonia, do you think this is a good solution? I don't think your family only has one great knight, right?"
Without principles, easy compromises and concessions will only make compromises and concessions worthless.
