Nohi 4407, Ye Kelan, the far north country, in the Elonian Sea.
As late autumn comes, Ye Kelan, which is already in the far north, seems even colder. The Ilonian Sea is located to the south of Ye Keni. Perhaps due to the influence of the ocean wind, it is not as ice-covered as the northwest.
Frost hits the cold leaves, occasionally making a sparse sound. It's like the sound of nature, or like pearls falling on the red carpet of the Santinoa Church.
On the frost-covered mountains, the pitch-black motorcycle shuttles through the white world, like a black wolf breaking into a flock of sheep. It is eye-catching and even a little scary.
In the car, you can vaguely see the flaming red family crest wrapped with ruby flowers. Is he a child of any big family? The few civilians in Elonia looked at the fleeting black figure with some fear.
Yekelan, a giant country in the far north, has its capital in Moniti in the northwest. In the east, Yekelan is covered with ice and snow all year round, but when it comes to the shores of the Ilonian Sea, there is a rare four-year-old weather.
Yahaipan is also known as "Ye Kelan's Spring".
Pale yellow silver leaves mixed with fiery red maple leaves, falling from the large oriental trees that line both sides of the avenue. The silver leaves are like fans, falling from heaven, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold late autumn.
This is the only road leading to that place. Every tree is grown in the mysterious east and selected by His Majesty the Emperor himself.
This is prepared for the "Princess of Alontillan".
The road is very long, with no end as far as the eye can see. The emperor once said that this is my love for her, just like this endless silver-leaf forest, boundless.
However, it has been four years since this castle was built, and the guards have secretly counted that the number of times the Emperor has come here can only be counted on one's fingers.
But Ye Kelan's nobles had no idea that they would always talk about that woman after dinner. She was imprisoned in the castle of Elonia, which was a place larger than the castle of Lord Sentinoa. She thought
Everything the king wants will be satisfied.
How beautiful can this woman be to make the head of a country yearn for her?
To reach the Ilonian Sea, you have to pass through thousands of kilometers of extremely cold land east of Yekelan, which seems to be the junction of two worlds.
Coming from layers of snow-capped mountains, the guards guarded the castle heavily, and every envoy who came in and out used a handwriting issued by the emperor himself.
A heavy rain last night made the surroundings of the palace become foggy this morning. Ice flowers gently closed the cold windows. The wells where the maids drew water were covered with layers of icicles. The armors of the guards were also frozen by the cold air.
It felt like living there, extremely stiff.
"This is the coldest winter in the past few years." A guard opened his mouth to breathe, and then the white mist slowly rose.
"Isn't it? It's still late autumn, really." His companion nodded in agreement, and he stamped his feet in an attempt to revive his frozen body.
"Hey, you know, we are suffering here. The one in the castle is different. They are all made of high-grade coal from Sentinoa. It is said that a piece of coal can be three times more durable than ordinary coal!" The guard looked at the towering tower behind him mockingly.
A cloudy castle.
"Can that be the same? She is the princess, and even the steam equipment is driven by silver mines. Silver mines, this is a gift from God!"
"Tch, she's not the woman His Majesty has thrown away. But she looks so good that you never want to look away." The guard smacked his lips. He once met the girl when he was patrolling the upper floors of the castle. At that moment, he felt
There was no color in the world, and the girl nodded and smiled to herself lightly, without any pretense of a princess.
She is the only one in the whole world who still has brilliant colors. In the black and white background, she looks like an intruding saint who does not belong to this world.
"Ding...dang..." The melodious and crisp sound of bells came from a distance. At the same time, bells sounded one after another from the observation deck and even the entire border of the castle.
"It's Mo Ling! Red...Red Alert!!!" the guard shouted in shock, his voice quickly dissipated in the white fog.
How is it possible, red alert... This is the highest alert state of the Mo Ling system, which means... the guard licked his lips in fear.
People approaching the castle, armed, or even armed in large numbers, can threaten the armed forces of Elonia Castle!
The dark locomotive loomed in the white mist, like a demon breaking free from hell. The ice-blue eyes streaking across the sky were vaguely visible, without any emotion in them.
"Bold! Who rang the bell!" At this moment, the roar of the guard chief came from the guard tower, the huge roar of the silver mining machine resounded throughout the world, the fog disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the temperature around the castle increased rapidly.
, and in a blink of an eye, we arrived at a suitable environment.
Who is it, who is it, who is actually wasting a device powered by the silver mine? Some of the newly arrived guards were shocked.
The guard chief's expression changed wildly. At this moment, he would rather have the red alert than the man on the dark motorcycle.
"Your Highness Xavier, Ye Kelan - Puri, the chief guard of Elonia Castle, would like to express my sincere greetings to you. You are frightened by your inability to discipline your subordinates."
The guard's long teeth trembled sharply in fear, and he even bit his lip unconsciously, without even noticing the traces of bright red blood flowing down.
"Puri..." a voice sounded, with anger.
"Okay, I'm fine." A cold voice came from the motorcycle.
The guard captain immediately waved his hand suggestively, and the sound of long muskets falling neatly to the ground was heard. All the guards stood in salute line with a "swish" and saluted the young man on the motorcycle with Ye Kelan's military salute.
Even the most stupid person understands that the person who can sit in the silver mining locomotive "Cerberus" is definitely beyond his imagination.
The car door opened, and a steady middle-aged man walked out first. His dark dress looked like he had just gone to a funeral. He glared at Puri fiercely, and then walked to the other side of the motorcycle respectfully.
He opened the car door with both hands, placed one hand on the roof of the car, nodded and lowered his eyebrows, waiting for the young man in the car to get out.
"I'm here to see my sister." The young man was thin and looked more like a boy. His eyes were droopy, as if to cover up something.
"Your Highness...do you have...a handwriting..." the guard chief said tremblingly, he was afraid that if he said anything he might make His Highness unhappy...the consequences would be disastrous.
"Asshole! Who gave you the courage!" The middle-aged man's thick eyebrows were tightened, and several ferocious veins popped out on his temples. He was about to draw out the gun from his waist.
The big boy held the back of the middle-aged man's hand, opened his eyes slightly, and swept the guard chief with his ice-blue eyes. The guard trembled slightly, a feeling he only felt when he was stared at by a wolf while hunting.
Yes, but he actually felt it in a boy.
The envelope he threw made beautiful traces in the air and landed firmly in the guard chief's hand.
Those were gilded black characters, which burned into the eyes of the guard chief. His expression changed instantly, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he bent down deeply.
This is the highest administrative decree of the Ye Kelan Kingdom. With this, you can even carry a firecracker to the emperor's palace!
"Xavier Cadance, is it him..."
Xavier stood in front of the castle like an ant.
He took a deep breath, and the maids of the castle opened the copper door for him tremblingly. The huge copper door closed behind the boy, making a heavy metal collision sound.
Xavier walked on the steps paved with red carpet. Flowers from all over the world were on both sides of the steps. The fragrance of flowers filled the huge castle. Perhaps in order to give a good impression to His Highness, Puri withdrew most of the garrison troops.
, only some important positions and maids are left.
"Your Highness, the princess should have gone to bed early. Do you want your servant to wake her up?"
Walking on the seventh floor, the head maid bowed slightly and lowered her head to ask Xavier.
"No, I'll wait for her by the bed." Xavier said softly and walked up to the eighth floor.
Such a large agarwood bed is covered with silk from the East. The bed tent is as transparent as a transparent one. In the pink silk, a petite and exquisite body floats up and down.
The waist of the corridor is winding, and the gauze is wrapped around the European-style retro eaves, like a vast mist.
"The place where I wake up from a deep dream is my hometown.
I..." The girl's delicate figure is so lonely, like a stray lamb.
"Is someone coming?...Yes..." The girl's voice stopped suddenly, and she asked softly, like a mosquito. She seemed to be afraid of something.
"Long time no see, sister." Xavier smiled and bowed to the girl with the court etiquette of Santinoa.
"...Xiwei, is it really Xiwei?" Behind the thick white sand, the girl's face changed slightly. The new maids had never seen this fairy-like girl smile, like honey that blooms once in a century.
Rose flowers bloom in the clouds.
The girl groped, groping like a blind person. Her figure fell down on the soft bed again and again. The maid beside her looked at her as calmly as ice, struggling like a newborn lamb.
Xavier frowned. He had realized something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. There must be something wrong... Damn,...
He suddenly burst into flames, and the maids on the side did not react. He opened the curtain, and his pupils shrank violently when he saw everything. Xavier had been in the Holy Capital for many years, but he had never seen such a bloody scene.
There were blood stains on the agarwood, and the drooping eyelashes covered the original dark eyes. The long, soft chestnut hair was still there, but the girl's feet could no longer stand, and she stumbled like a toddler.
(Autumn and the Cold Dawn, Part 1, End)
In the autumn of Nosy 4407, Xavier was two months shy of 12 years old.
