At noon the next day, Su Xiao, who had regained her full mental state, left the Iron Hand Mansion with Bubu Wang and Amu and headed straight to a certain direction in the royal capital.
The purpose of Su Xiao's trip was to meet a princess. This princess was Elisa Herbert, the name written by the old king.
Su Xiao didn't know what was special about Alyssa Herbert, but the old king would not choose this princess for no reason, so he decided to test it out.
According to the information provided by the fourth princess, although Eliza Herbert is the heir of the old king, she did not participate in this power struggle, firstly because she is relatively young, and secondly because she has no real power in her hands.
Although the fourth princess failed in this power struggle, she is not the kind of peaceful person. She does not dare to seize power for the time being, so she can only live in seclusion and secretly develop black forces. The fourth princess who originally took all in black and white began to
All black transformation.
Of course the third prince knows what the fourth princess is doing, but he has no time to care about it now. He values royal power more than the fourth princess, or in other words, he already has a way to deal with the fourth princess.
Su Xiao has completed the main mission, so he will no longer participate in the struggle for power. He will devote all his energy to the throne.
Walking on the streets of the royal capital, Su Xiao has been thinking about one thing, which is why the old king chose Alyssa Herbert.
In about half an hour, Su Xiao arrived at Alyssa Herbert's house, which was not a luxurious house, but a large one.
The courtyard in front of the house is not big. It is full of flowers and plants, and it looks like it has been carefully taken care of.
If there is any difference between Elisa Herbert and other princes or princesses, it is that at the age of 20, she does not have a fiefdom, but lives in the royal capital and lives a very peaceful life. This is Elisa Herbert
My own wishes are also something that the old king agrees with.
An extremely strange floral fragrance came. Su Xiao looked for the source of the floral fragrance and saw that it was a bud similar to a rose, but it was completely blue.
A gentle breeze blows, and blue pollen floats.
"Woof."
Bubu barked.
"poisonous?"
Su Xiao understood what Bu Bu Wang meant, that the flower was poisonous. He stepped forward, pulled off a bud and put it in front of his nose and smelled it. Indeed, this thing was highly poisonous.
A princess who cultivates poisonous flowers in front of her home does not look like a kind person.
"This is private property, what do you guys want?"
A male voice came from above. After a sound of armor clashing, a man wearing silver armor jumped down from above the house.
The man landed quietly, but he left two deep footprints. He was about 30 years old, with a mustache on his chin and a sword hanging on his waist. It was not a fancy thin sword.
, but a knight's heavy sword. Judging from the weighted ball at the end of the hilt, this sword weighs at least 100 kilograms.
Princess Elisa Herbert was not found, but was blocked by a guard. But Su Xiao was not disappointed, and instead looked up and down at the guard.
"I came to find Eliza Herbert and asked her to come to me."
When Su Xiao saw this guard, she had already vaguely guessed the old king's intention. This guard... was very strong.
"Mr. Iron Hand, Her Royal Highness is taking a rest."
The guard bowed slightly to Su Xiao, with nothing but hostility in his eyes, because he knew very well that the Iron Hand would never do anything good.
"This has nothing to do with whether she is resting or not, but she must come to see me, whether she is alive or not, and whether she is dead or not."
Of course, Su Xiao is not here to ask for a meeting with Alyssa Herbert, but is planning to borrow Alyssa Herbert. Please don't get me wrong, he just wants to bring Alyssa Herbert under the throne.
"Her Royal Highness... is resting, and it is temporarily inconvenient to see guests."
The guard took a deep breath. He knew the consequences of saying these words, but this was his mission, to protect Princess Elisa Herbert and keep all evil things out, even if it cost his life.
No matter what, he is the guardian of Eliza Herbert, the knight who protects her, Goss.
Three pairs of eyes looked at Knight Goss. At this moment, Goss felt malice that he had never experienced before, and it almost turned into actual malice.
Cold sweat oozed down Goss's forehead. He was not afraid, but worried about one thing, that is, whether he could protect the safety of Elisa Herbert.
Su Xiao looked at the knight blocking the way with interest. This guy's aura was very strong. Although he was confident of killing the opponent, it was not an easy task.
Now, Su Xiao became interested in this princess named Alyssa Herbert. It didn't make sense that a powerless princess would be protected by such a strong holy warrior.
Seeing this 'knight', Su Xiao seemed to have seen a powerful cannon fodder.
"What a great gift."
Su Xiao muttered, and the knight named Goss frowned, with a vague premonition in his heart.
"Are you trying to disobey the king?"
Su Xiao's words made Goss feel even worse.
"Of course not, but you cannot represent the king here. His Majesty once ordered me to defend Princess Alyssa to the death."
Goss is also aware of the current situation in the royal capital. The old king has just abdicated and the new king has not yet taken power, which has caused the royal power to become blurred.
If Su Xiao brings out the tokens or letters from the old king, Goss can refuse on the grounds that the old king has abdicated. As for the tokens and letters from the new king, he can also use the old king to pressure Su Xiao.
Su Xiao took out the golden lion pendant and a letter from her arms.
"Old king or new king, which one do you want to choose?"
The golden lion pendant in Su Xiao's hand represents the old king, and the letter represents the new king. This is a question of death.
"this……"
Goss's mouth opened and closed. In the final analysis, he was just a holy warrior who carried out secret orders. At most, he dared to take advantage of loopholes and never dared to disobey the royal authority.
What Goss was thinking at the moment was what happened within the royal family and why the Iron Hand held such great power.
Outsiders certainly don't know the drastic changes in the royal family. Now that the old king is dead, the new king is quickly taking over the throne. In order to stabilize Su Xiao, he sacrificed a sister. The third prince would not even blink an eye.
As long as Su Xiao does not use military power, in terms of finance, even if Su Xiao makes a princess pregnant, the third prince will not say anything. Instead, he will give Su Xiao a small fiefdom and take this opportunity to control Su Xiaotie's power.
Positions were stripped, and then official positions without real power were added.
The third prince always kept his integrity to Su Xiao. How could a holy warrior want to stop Su Xiao? No kidding, even if Su Xiao killed the opponent on the spot, the matter would not become a big deal, and someone would even come to collect the body.
Of course, Su Xiao will not take action now, because he wants to know what Alyssa Herbert's character is like. If Alyssa Herbert's character is soft, then this holy warrior will be cannon fodder, paving the way under the throne.
Cannon fodder, this is a great gift from the old king.
"Your Excellency... come here, please."
Goss spoke one word at a time, his attitude was not very good, Su Xiao didn't care at all, he would not get angry with the dead, that was stupid.
