The palace of the City of the Sun is far less huge than it seems because a considerable part of the land belongs to the temple.
But even so, the palace is obviously not small... The guards followed Princess Yamanlana all the way, and it took about twenty minutes to complete the transition area between the temple and the palace.
During this period, Princess Yamalana did not even turn around and told the guards following her that she did not know what to say.
Princess Yamanlana is a person who likes to reflect. At this time, she was reflecting on her behavior just now, which seemed a bit too reckless. Of course, other royal families probably would not take such a small thing to heart.
But Princess Yamanlana knows that if you want to be a wise king, you must not abuse power... All power needs to serve the kingdom and its people, so that the country can last for a long time.
Princess Yamanlana is very strict in running the army, and she is also very strict in supervising the ministers of various systems in the kingdom. She is even very strict with herself... She suddenly cares whether this guard will compare herself with arrogance because of this matter.
Abuse of power linked.
Probably because of the giant beast, her Qi-nurturing skills were messed up... Her Highness the Princess quietly explained herself.
"Iben, where do you live?" Princess Yamanlana breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around expressionlessly and asked seemingly casually.
Let’s start with household chores first... An approachable image is also a quality that a wise king should need.
Her Royal Highness the Princess quietly gave sufficient reasons for her actions.
"It's quite far away." The guard thought for a while and said, "It's in the east, far away from here."
Princess Yamanlana nodded, "Is it on the east wall? It's really far away from the palace."
The air died in vain for about half a minute, and Princess Yamanlana, who was always good at speaking, suddenly said again, "I like the market over the east city wall. I have passed by it several times and I have wanted to go there and have a look."
The guard blinked his eyes and looked like "You keep talking, I'm listening".
"...Well, it's nothing."
Princess Yamanlana turned around and strode forward... She couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, she was not good at words and rarely had such simple communication with others, not even with her father in the kingdom.
She suddenly discovered that, except for the high priest, she had never had a relaxed conversation with anyone in the City of the Sun... This guard probably didn't care because she was a princess, he was just a small guard.
"Since I have passed by it several times and want to go in and have a look, why not go in and have a look."
"I can't stop." Princess Yamanlana stopped immediately, and her reply seemed to be faster than the guard expected. "Once you stop, you will become relaxed! The kingdom is not what it seems on the outside.
Calm down, we have always been facing huge threats. If we are not careful, what awaits us will be the destruction of our country and our family!"
"Is the princess referring to the giant beast in the desert?" the guard asked curiously.
Princess Yamanlana nodded and said seriously: "These giant beasts are not only huge in size, they can even lurk under the desert. Some of them can even disguise themselves as rocks. If you are not careful, you will become their food. In order to sweep away these giant beasts,
Beast, the City of the Sun doesn’t know how many young warriors it sacrifices every year. Moreover, there’s no telling when this kind of war will end... Maybe, maybe one day, the City of the Sun will cease to exist, and it’s not necessarily
.”
The guard turned around and glanced at the temple in the distance, and asked curiously: "Isn't the City of the Sun protected by the Sun God... Even so, it will fall?"
Princess Yamanlana shook her head, as if she didn't want to say more. She looked at the guard deeply and suddenly asked: "Iben, young warrior, when danger comes, are you willing to stand up for the sake of peace?"
Is your country fighting death for your family? The longest day of night will come soon... Are you ready?"
The guard shook his head directly.
Princess Yamanlana glanced at the guard Iben unexpectedly, then shook her head and said with a complicated expression: "Actually, I am not prepared either... The whole kingdom is not prepared either, but what can be seen clearly is not
several."
This princess seems to have misunderstood something.
But the guard soldier had no intention of explaining.
He just thought for a moment and asked, "What are these giant beasts?"
Princess Yamanlana suddenly said: "Ibn, you haven't seen these giant beasts intuitively, have you? I'm not talking about what you see across the city wall on the longest day of night every year... but standing in front of them.
, touch their bodies.”
"Indeed not." The guard shook his head again.
Princess Yamanlana suddenly smiled at this time, as if she had thought of something fun, "Come, I will take you to a place."
The guard said: "Isn't the princess planning to attend the banquet?"
Princess Yamanlana said calmly: "You can go to this boring banquet anytime... If you are hungry, I will ask you to prepare something for you."
The guard smiled and said, "I seem to have no reason to refuse."
Princess Yamanlana glanced at the young guard angrily... She thought about how she, a majestic princess of the City of the Sun, acted as if he was a prince. She probably hadn't encountered such an unpleasant experience in a long time.
The guy who cares about her status as a princess.
"Iben, have you ever thought about what the outside world is like?" Princess Yamanlana suddenly asked.
"Is there a place outside the desert?" The guard thought for a moment and said, "They say there is a place outside the desert, but giant beasts block the way out of the desert."
Princess Yamanlana said: "Why are there only giant beasts in the desert blocking the road? The outside world..."
"The outside world?"
Princess Yamanlana shook her head, her expression returned to her serious look, "It's okay, we need to speed up a bit... Although we don't have to be there on time, if you keep missing the banquet, there will still be some trouble."
She walked in the other direction, her pace gradually speeding up... Along the way, she never stopped to talk to the young guard.
…
I'm going to die... This thought has been completely thrown away from Claudia's mind, replaced by "I'm going to die".
She probably underestimated Princess Yamanlana's influence in the kingdom. Originally, she was only traveling with Mani, the son of the Minister of Agriculture, but the number of people in the team gradually increased.
They were all the sons of the ministers of the kingdom... I met her on the road, and like ants surrounding honey, they immediately stuck to her and sang her praises beside Claudia.
Claudia didn't see how outstanding these ministers' sons were, but the sweet words these guys spoke were quite good... In school, Claudia had never experienced being surrounded by many men.
She had always felt that the experience of being surrounded by men was like being a monkey in a zoo.
But the real experience is...it's actually not bad, it smells really good.
Even in a kind of beautiful, sunny, or polite skin, she couldn't help but have a feeling of elation... Claudia even thought in a daze: Since she can touch her here,
I saw Princess Yamanlana who was just like me, and I met Ibn who was just like Aria. Is it possible that I would also meet the same lost guy?
As one of these ministers' sons?
"What are you looking at?" Mr. Otto, as the bodyguard of Princess Jacques Man (Laura) La (Dina), came closer at this time and asked in a low voice, "Did you find something?
?”
"No...nothing." Mr. Otto's voice made Claudia's strange thoughts disappear, and she quickly said: "I was just checking to see if that guy had come here...really."
"Yes." Mr. Otto nodded, looked at Claudia strangely, and then said: "You need to find a reason to leave in front of these young masters... We will go to the banquet venue soon. Once
If we meet the real Princess Yamalana, we will be in trouble."
"I know." Claudia's face gradually became serious... If she just wanted to find an excuse, that was the only one she could find.
"Everyone, I have something to do, excuse me..." Claudia opened her mouth, but was suddenly interrupted.
"Yamanlana, the pride of the kingdom, my son!"
Not far away, the pharaoh of the kingdom was seen walking slowly, surrounded by his followers... The ministers and sons around Claudia gave in one after another.
Claudia's eyes suddenly darkened, and she gave Mr. Otto a dead look. Then she watched with numbness as the pharaoh of the kingdom finally came to her.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Otto lowered his head at this time and quietly took two steps back... Claudia's pupils could not help but shrink. She had never seen such a shameless guy!
So angry!
"I thought you were not going to attend tonight's banquet." The pharaoh of the kingdom did not find anything wrong with the princess in front of him. He kindly grabbed the palm of [her princess] and said with a kind smile: "I'm looking for someone.
I went to your palace to look for you, but I didn’t see anyone. I didn’t expect you to be here, which makes me so happy, my daughter.”
Claudia had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "After all, it is a celebration banquet. If I don't attend, others will say that I disrespect you."
The pharaoh of the kingdom opened his mouth, glanced at his daughter in surprise, and then suddenly laughed and said: "Others say that Princess Yamanlana has great achievements and never takes me seriously... You guys
Look, all of you, look! The person who said these words could be put to death! This is my good daughter! The pride of the kingdom! Hahahaha!"
Everyone was as silent as a cicada, sweating profusely, and echoed one after another.
The pharaoh of the kingdom didn't care about this. He took [Her Royal Highness]'s hand and walked to the banquet venue, saying loudly: "Let's go! My princess! Let these people see how good the relationship between you and my father and daughter is."
!”
[Her Royal Highness]... Claudia was grabbed by the pharaoh of this kingdom by the wrist. Suddenly her heart was beating wildly, her breathing was rapid... her legs became weak.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm really going to die this time!
Claudia glanced back with a stiff neck, but she was somewhat relieved to see that Mr. Otto remained silent at this time and quietly mingled among the Pharaoh's servants and guards...
Unexpectedly, a short while later, Mr. Otto, who had blended in among the attendants, had disappeared... Claudia suddenly cursed, "No man is good!"
"My son, who made you angry?" The pharaoh of the kingdom was startled. "Did these guys offend you? You must tell me! I will execute them for you!"
How much do you like to execute others...
"Yamanlana?" Pharaoh asked again with concern.
Claudia suddenly remembered that before entering the palace, Ibn had said that this banquet was for the Pharaoh to choose a husband for Princess Yamanlana, and she suddenly had an idea, "Tonight will give birth to a man who can spend a lifetime with me."
person, but I like to give the person some tests.”
The pharaoh of the kingdom couldn't help but asked curiously: "Test?"
"I need to prepare..." Claudia said seriously at this time: "For the sake of fairness, only I can know the questions of the test."
When the pharaoh of the kingdom heard this, he immediately waved his hand: "This is simple... Come and prepare a room for the princess!"
Just like that, [Her Royal Highness] walked into a separate room in the banquet hall in full view of everyone. But the Pharaoh kept this test absolutely confidential and even sent more than a dozen soldiers to guard it.
Around the room, make sure no one can peek.
In the room, [Her Royal Highness] sat slumped in front of the door, muttering to herself: "Why should I make such a request? Isn't this... self-inflicted?"
While outsiders can't come in, [Her Royal Highness] naturally can't get out either.
…
This place does not look as luxurious as other places in the palace... but it is definitely not shabby and is heavily covered with guarding soldiers.
The soldiers were the kind who looked like elite soldiers. They were serious in speech and speech. Even when Yamanlana came in person, there was not much movement and she just silently opened the door.
"What place is this?" the young guard asked curiously.
"A place to study giant beasts." Princess Yamanlana said calmly at this time: "Here is a collection of specimens of some giant beasts killed by the kingdom over the years. The best scholars in the kingdom are all here, and their only purpose is to study
Find out how to kill the giant beast more effectively... Come, I will take you to see the corpse of the giant beast."
Different from the indifferent situation of the guards outside, after entering the interior of the institute after passing heavy guards, the people who work here will warmly greet Princess Yamalana after seeing her.
The young guard took advantage of Princess Yamanlana's time to communicate with the scholars here and began to look around.
This is a museum-like place, with shelves surrounding the huge corpses. Through the shapes of the remaining bones, it seems that we can already imagine some of what these giant beasts looked like during their lifetimes.
The young guard gradually walked to a pool, and the pungent smell immediately hit him. In the transparent liquid of the pool, there was a huge and ferocious beast head.
"It's shocking, isn't it?" At some point, Princess Yamanlana came behind the young guard, "This is the head of the giant beast, which was hunted two years ago. We spent a lot of effort to get its head."
Cut off the head and transport it to this place."
The young guard blinked and suddenly asked: "What is soaking this head?"
"Formalin." Princess Yamanlana said seemingly casually: "A potion used to prevent corpses from decaying. Most of the corpses or internal organs of giant beasts here are soaked in this potion."
