"After all, my family doesn't have the hobby of working for others. If I can't make Lugnica my family's possession, it will be difficult for me to do my best."
Anastasia's words could be said to be outrageous. If she was from the Lugnika Kingdom and said such words in public, she would not be unjust if she was caught by the guards and sentenced.
Faced with these completely disrespectful words, Julius was stunned for a moment, looking at Anastasia's expression that made it impossible to guess whether she was serious or joking, and finally lowered his head and said: "Please Ana
Lord Tasia, be careful what you say." His posture was respectful to the superior, but his tone was very serious.
The arrival of Lin Ling and the change in the prophecy had a considerable impact after all. For now, if Anastasia participated in the King's Selection as in the original book, then there is nothing wrong with what she said, and she would be able to
Reflecting his confidence. But now that the Crown Prince has been confirmed as Lin Ling and the Dragon Priestess is only an auxiliary, Anastasia's words are very inappropriate.
And this undoubtedly gave Julius, who would have chosen to be loyal to her, a not-so-good first impression of her.
After all, Julius, who belongs to the Knights of the Guards, is loyal to the royal family in principle. Even if he is not loyal to the Crown Prince Lin Ling like Reinhardt, there is no way he will survive in the royal family.
It's incredible now to admit someone who wants to take Lugnika as his own as soon as he opens his mouth.
"It seems like it can't be done? It's boring..." Anastasia curled her lips, but continued to play with the medal in her hand. Just at this moment, someone happened to walk in. Anastasia's eyes lit up when she saw the person coming, and she said
: "Aqing, you're back, are things going smoothly?"
"Fortunately, the matter has been settled..." The girl named Aqing smiled. She naturally saw Julius and asked curiously: "Who is this sir?"
"This is Lord Julius Euclius, a knight from the Kingdom of Lugnika." Anastasia introduced her casually, and then she showed Ah Qing the medal in her hand and said: "
He said that I was a candidate for the Dragon Priestess, and asked me to go to Lugnika to run for the Dragon Priestess."
"Dragon Witch..." Ah Qing paused, and her eyes were dull and confused for a moment, but no one noticed. Then she asked as usual: "Then has Lady Ana decided to run for election?"
"I haven't thought about this yet..." Anastasia threw away the medal in her hand and suddenly said: "How about you make the decision for me, Qing?"
"I..." Ah Qing was stunned for a moment, then said: "Isn't this bad?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. It doesn't matter to me anyway, whether to go or not!" Anastasia said as she smiled and held Aqing's hand, saying: "So Aqing, do you think I should go? Or not?"
Why don’t you go?”
Ah Qing frowned involuntarily, obviously lost in thought. After a few seconds, she said, "I think Lady Anna should run for the Dragon Priestess."
"Oh!" Anastasia looked serious for a moment, then laughed again, "Okay, since you think so..."
She then looked at Julius and said, "Well, Lord Julius, I am participating in the election of the Dragon Priestess!"
…
Watching Giovanni leave the study, Cruciu suddenly sighed, leaned back on the chair slightly tiredly, and said: "Zoran, how many nails do you think I have in Karustan's house?"
"There must be a lot of nails, but I don't think you need to pay special attention to it, Crusch." Lin Ling poured herself another cup of tea, took a sip from the cup and said:
"After all, your protection is destined that no one can deceive you without knowing it. In this case, even if there are secrets planted by others in the Karustan family, these secrets are like Giovanni before they are activated.
Such talents can be used with confidence... So, you still have to use people. Nail can never be cleaned up. Just make sure not to leak really important secrets to Nail."
"But how can I ensure that the person I trust and entrust with important secrets is truly trustworthy!" Crucius seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to be asking questions. It was obvious that Giovanni was an undercover agent.
Her son stimulated her quite a bit.
"So there is no point in getting entangled in this matter. Unless you do everything yourself, there will be no result... But doing everything yourself is impossible for us." Lin Ling shook her head and enlightened.
: "Instead of worrying about this, you might as well think about the next thing... The fifth Dragon Priestess is about to enter the royal capital! When the Dragon Priestess election officially begins, the capital will not be as peaceful as it is now.
Already."
Although there is already an undercurrent surging in the capital now, it has not yet reached its peak. When the five dragon witches gather together and the nobles start to stand in line and fight against each other for their own interests, then the whole situation will be
The most chaotic time in the royal capital.
This is also the time when Lin Ling is most suitable to take advantage of troubled waters.
Cruxiu was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled with relief, "You are right, there is really no point in getting entangled in this matter..." He glanced at Lin Ling again and said: "Zolan, why do I feel that you are interested in Long?
I’m really looking forward to the election of the miko.”
"Want to hear the truth or lies?" Lin Ling glanced at her hospital and asked.
"What's the lie?" Crusch asked instead without answering.
"The lie is that I really look forward to the Dragon Witch campaign starting and ending early so that I can be crowned king earlier!" When Lin Ling said this, she walked to the window with a teacup in her hand.
Looking down from the window, you can see Subaru Natsuki and Felt standing on the lawn, practicing the movement of raising their swords and stabbing forward in a strict manner. Next to them is the old sword demon who is supervising their practice.
——Nasuki Subaru was the only one who originally conducted combat training, but this girl Felt didn't know if it was because she was scratched by Erza before, so she took the initiative to join the training.
Lin Ling did not refuse this. After all, one sheep is being driven, and two sheep are being driven.
"What about the truth?" Crusch also walked to the window and looked at the two people training below.
"The truth is that I need the chaos during the Dragon Priestess' campaign..." Lin Ling didn't mean to hide it, and answered simply and neatly.
Crusch was silent for a few seconds and said: "Be careful...if you need any help, you can come to me." She obviously understood what Lin Ling meant.
"I will... After all, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't use his strength." Lin Ling nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, are you planning to conquer the White Whale recently?"
