Polly behind her watched Dreiser get up and walk towards Colin.
But the anger still lingered in his heart, so he raised the branch in his hand and roughly scratched out the writing on the ground.
Dreiser is still protecting Ariel like this. Sure enough, he still can't forget the woman who gave birth to her - Queen Daisy.
Thinking of this, the anger in her heart became even more intense, as if it was burning with fire.
Daisy......
Daisy!
Although she has been the queen for six years, when the queen is mentioned, the first thing people in the palace think of is Dai Qian!
How exactly am I inferior to her?!
the other side.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Colin raised his head and asked.
Dreiser hesitated for a moment, then said with some embarrassment:
"Sir Colin, I mean, if possible, can you help us take back the Holy Flame Kingdom?"
"Of course, I'm not asking you, I'm begging."
"If this matter is just a piece of cake for you, and you are willing... the Holy Flame Royal Family will remember your favor.
If you don't want to, that's okay, the Holy Flame Royal Family will still remember today's kindness."
After speaking, Dreiser looked at Colin nervously.
Although he secretly left a badge, it is still unknown whether he will be able to join the school when he goes to Meredith City.
If, as Polly said, Colin could help them regain the Holy Flame Kingdom... this would obviously be a safer approach.
In fact, if the Holy Flame Kingdom hadn't been destroyed, he wouldn't have thought of heading to Meredith City in a desperate move.
"That's it." A flash of surprise flashed across Colin's face, he looked at Dreiser and shook his head:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Dreiser, I can't promise you."
"Okay... okay." Dreiser nodded, and the trace of hope he had in his eyes suddenly dissipated.
'It seems that Dreiser does not know the restrictions imposed by the Supreme Council on wizards like them.'
Colin paused and began to explain in a gentle tone.
After all, Dreiser was Erica's father, and out of gratitude to his old friend, he was willing to spend more time explaining.
"Your Majesty Dreiser, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's because the Wizards Alliance has regulations that wizards are not allowed to interfere in the wars of the mortal kingdom."
As for the specific extent of the restriction, he doesn't know yet, so he only briefly explained it here.
Although he didn't get the answer he hoped for, at least the wizard in front of him seemed to be a hard-to-reach type... This somewhat added a sense of security to his heart.
"I took the liberty." Dreiser apologized again, "Then I won't disturb you."
It seems...it is not feasible to rely on Colin to help them regain the Holy Flame Kingdom.
Dreiser was worried.
I don’t know if I can successfully join the wizarding school with the badge in Meredith City...
He really wanted to take out the badge and ask Colin directly.
But, he didn't dare...
As for the authenticity of what Colin said... he had no doubts.
After all, as a distinguished wizard, Colin, if he was unwilling to help them, there was no need to explain it to him.
Dreiser went back and sat down next to Polly.
"Your Majesty, did the wizard agree?"
As soon as he sat down, Polly restrained her anger and couldn't wait to write on the ground.
Dreiser didn't write, he just shook his head at her.
Shaking his head...The wizard didn't agree?!
Seeing that her hope was in vain, Polly's face suddenly darkened.
It is different from Dreiser's hope that a wizard will appear in the Holy Flame Royal Family to rebuild the Holy Flame Kingdom...or even jump directly to the Holy Flame Wizard Family without rebuilding the Holy Flame Kingdom.
She knew in her heart that she didn't know how far into the future these things would be.
All she knew was that when she arrived in Meredith City, she would no longer be the queen of the noble Holy Flame Kingdom...
But just an ordinary mortal.
By that time... all the glory, wealth, power and glory in the past will have nothing to do with her.
Dreiser looked at Polly's ugly face, thought for a while and picked up a branch to write and explain:
"It's not that Sir Colin is unwilling to help us, but because the Supreme Council of the Wizards Alliance has regulations - wizards cannot interfere in the wars of the mortal kingdom."
Polly looked at Dreiser's writing and sneered in her heart.
In her opinion, how could there be such stupid rules among wizards!
This is like stipulating that humans cannot cut down big trees or hunt wild animals... Does this do any good to wizards?
This was obviously an excuse that Colin came up with because he didn't want to help them!
"Your Majesty, you just give up like this?"
"He is obviously trying to deal with you. How could there be such a stupid rule?"
Polly wrote quickly on the ground.
Dreiser frowned.
He had known Polly's character for a long time, but it wasn't like this on weekdays... He didn't expect that it would become like this now.
She didn't even think about it, even if Wizard Colin was looking for excuses to deal with it, what would happen?
Even if they were prevaricating, they should be glad that Wizard Colin was willing to find a reason to maintain the most basic decency between the two parties and did not refuse bluntly.
As for whether to help them.
It's not that he doesn't want Colin to help them...but how can he force this?
"Polly, that's it! It's enough that Sir Colin is willing to escort us to Meredith City."
He interrupted Polly's writing and wrote again.
Colin seems gentle, but who can guess what he really thinks?
Now their life, death and future are in Colin's hands... They can no longer push their limits.
After Dreiser finished writing, he got up directly and walked to the other side where Elle and Burns were.
"Father."
"His Majesty."
Ariel and Burns greeted him.
Dreiser nodded and slowly sat next to Elle.
Elle held the black and gold square urn in her arms with a peaceful expression.
She could no longer remember her sister's appearance.
But her late mother would mention it to her almost every day... mentioning the striking similarity in appearance between the two sisters, who were like twins.
On the day her mother passed away six years ago, she still remembered her mother's murmur on the hospital bed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He was watching her whisper...but he didn't call her name.
Instead, "Erica".
Elle hugged the urn in her hand tighter.
Dreiser on the side wanted to start a conversation, but he didn't know where to start.
Since the death of Queen Daisy six years ago, his attitude towards Ariel has gradually become colder. In addition, he was busy suppressing the civil strife in the kingdom at that time and married Polly, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Hull.
It's been several years now, and I haven't had a good conversation with Elle.
Now that I think about it, Elle was just over six years old and almost seven years old at that time, almost the same age as her sister when she left.
...At such a young age, he had to face the sudden death of his mother and his father's sudden indifference.
Later, even the place where he lived was occupied by Gallagher...
Guilt gradually emerged in Dreiser's heart.
He himself had never cared about Elle.
Instead, in order to quell the civil strife and please the Archduke of Hull, he turned a blind eye to Polly's actions.
After he had established his foothold in the past few years and used Polly to settle the old accounts of their family's civil strife.
He felt guilty for Polly, and he became more tolerant of her.
Not only did he make Gallagher the crown prince... but he never asked Eliel again.
There was silence like this, until Polly came to him, Dreiser was still unable to say a word.
"What's wrong?" he asked looking at Polly coming over.
"Gallagher wants to go to the bathroom outside." Polly pushed Gallagher in front of Dreiser and said coldly, obviously the anger in her heart was not gone.
In the past, Dreiser would have already stood up and accompanied Gallagher to the toilet outside.
But now for some unknown reason, he looked at the quiet Erica next to him and then at the noisy Polly, feeling inexplicably impatient in his heart.
He did not stand up, but turned around and gave instructions.
"Burns, take Gallagher out to the bathroom."
Polly was stunned, but she noticed that Dreiser's attitude was different from the past, and her confidence in her heart was inexplicably weaker, so she didn't say anything and silently followed Burns and Gallagher out of the cave.
Dreiser was a little surprised when he saw this, and thought to himself.
'Ignorant indulgence really won't work.'
Outside the cave.
Burns held a torch and led Gallagher to the left side of the cave entrance.
"Your Highness, stay here. It's not safe to go too far."
"No." Gallagher looked at the dark night in front of him, feeling inexplicably excited. He said as he continued to walk forward, "This is too close. I want to go somewhere farther away."
"Your Highness Gallagher." Burns took two steps forward, walked around Gallagher and said in a deep voice: "It's dangerous at night, so it's really not advisable to go far!"
"Mom——" Gallagher's face fell and he turned to Polly for help.
Polly smiled and comforted Gallagher, then raised her head and said sternly.
"Burns!"
She didn't think it was anything. After all, it was just a place to go to the toilet. So what if it was a little far away...
In her opinion, this was obviously Burns making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Your Highness Polly?"
"Burns, what are you afraid of?" Polly frowned, and then said matter-of-factly: "Isn't there that wizard in the cave? If we really encounter a problem, he will come to save us as long as you delay for a moment or two."
Burns lowered his head and remained silent, then slowly stepped away.
The two of them accompanied Gallagher and continued walking forward.
Burns looked at Gallagher's figure next to him and sighed silently in his heart.
Your Highness, the prince, represents the future of the Holy Flame Kingdom.
But His Highness Gallagher is almost seven years old this year, but he still looks so naughty and childish...
Thinking of this, thinking of the future of the Holy Flame Kingdom... his heart felt inexplicably heavy.
After a while, Gallagher stopped in a bush.
Hua Hua——
Burns stood aside and waited, alertly watching his surroundings.
Not long after, Gallagher finished urinating, and the surroundings were quiet, without any accidents.
"Your Highness Gallagher, since you have finished using the toilet, go back as soon as possible." Burns reminded again.
Ben was ready to stay with Gallagher for a while longer, but to his surprise, Gallagher nodded.
Seeing Gallagher shrinking, Burns understood.
The temperature dropped after nightfall, and he was in a hurry when he escaped from the palace and did not bring many clothes. Gallagher is still wearing the lighter clothes during the day... It seems that he feels too cold and wants to return to the warm fire of the cave.
beside.
That's fine... Burns breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead to walk back.
You must know that they are far from comfortable now.
The king, queen, and even a princess and a prince of the Holy Flame Kingdom are still alive. As long as the Qian Kingdom is not stupid, they will definitely send troops to pursue them!
Suddenly, Burns stopped and raised his palm to signal to Polly and the two behind him.
Polly was stunned at first, and then a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She covered Gallagher's mouth and stood cautiously in place.
Although she said that just now, when the danger really came, she was still a little panicked in her heart. After all, the appearance of the maid knights who died tragically earlier today was still fresh in her mind.
The three people stood quietly, motionless.
Polly listened carefully, but except for the roar of wild beasts coming from nowhere, she heard no other sounds.
She did not relax and continued to stand quietly in place as Burns indicated.
After a while, there was still no sound, and Burns in front of him made no move.
A flash of doubt flashed in Polly's eyes.
A guess emerged in her mind... Could it be that Burns was holding a grudge because of what he said just now, so he deliberately stopped now to scare them?
Gallagher, who was beside him, stood quietly and cooperatively at first, but now he couldn't hold on any longer and began to reach out and open Polly's hand that was covering her mouth.
At this moment, Burns slowly turned back, frowned and whispered in confusion:
"It seems I heard it wrong."
Just now, he vaguely heard a faint sound, similar to the collision of steel, but when he stopped, he never heard it again.
Burns turned around and continued walking forward.
He didn't see Polly behind him staring at him with extremely cold eyes.
In Polly's view, Burns's actions obviously confirmed her last guess...
'This bitch Daisy's lackey! I'm the queen, how dare he!'
Polly gritted her teeth in her heart.
I wanted to have a fit on the spot, but I looked at Burns' tall figure.
She weighed it for a moment and decided to endure it silently and settle the matter after returning to the cave.
Otherwise, it would be bad if Burns got angry and was disadvantageous to the mother and son.
After all, they are still a certain distance away from the cave, and they and Burns are the only ones here... they have to be on guard.
"etc."
After walking for a while, Burns suddenly stopped again, quickly turned around and whispered instructions.
Come again?!
There was a clear flash of anger on Polly's face.
"Bourne...!"
Before she could finish her words, Burns was seen quickly running towards the woods to the left.
Then several dull sounds of flesh colliding were heard.
Burns dragged the body of a knight in light armor out of the woods.
Polly's expression changed drastically!
"Is this... the pursuer of the Qian Kingdom?" she asked hesitantly, her voice lowering unconsciously.
"Judging from the armor style, it should be so."
Burns nodded and looked down at the body again.
This corpse is ordinary in other places, but the nose on his face is very strange... just like a dog nose?
Maybe it was a birth deformity... Burns didn't care.
He looked solemn and speculated in a low voice:
"No other knights were found around...this may be a scout for the Qian Kingdom's pursuers."
"But no matter what, the pursuers from the Qian Kingdom should have caught up... We have to go back and report to the wizard as soon as possible!
Otherwise, we will be in trouble when the Qian Kingdom catches up."
After saying that, he picked up the body and walked forward quickly.
Obviously the body cannot be left here, and he plans to move it to another place for disposal.
"Burns." Polly called him from behind.
Burns carried the body and turned his head in confusion.
Polly smiled and said:
"With that wizard here, what are the mere pursuits of the Qian Kingdom?"
"Just leave the body here... There is no need to bother the wizard with this news."
Looking at Burns' puzzled face, Polly lost her patience, the smile on her face gradually faded, and she said coldly:
"This is an order, Burns. Just obey it!"
If the Qian Kingdom cannot catch up, they will really have no choice but to go to Meredith City, where the future is uncertain.
But if the Qian Kingdom catches up and drags the wizard into the water, he will have to fight against the Qian Kingdom...
Perhaps, they can use the power of wizards to regain the Holy Flame Kingdom!
