Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 201 Visit
After the High Priest looked for a suitable place to engrave the coat of arms, Imrik planned to visit Alarielle. The biggest loss in this war was Avalon. There were countless civilian casualties, and the Eternal Queen even overdrawn the future. , Whether it is public or private, it is reasonable to go and see.

The most worrying thing now is the situation of Alarielle. If she is really occupied by the consciousness of the previous Eternal Queen, what kind of attitude should be used to face her? Maybe she can still support Caledon at the political level , perhaps that was enough for the Dragon Prince, but not enough for Imrik.

Riding Morterius came to the palace specially arranged by Saffrey to accommodate the Eternal Queen. There were many maids holding spears and the Avalon sisters watching around vigilantly. It was obvious that the two Eternal Queens encountered The catastrophe made them dare not relax their vigilance at all.

"His Royal Highness, you are welcome to visit Her Majesty the Queen." A maid walked over and bowed her head to Imrik first. As the hero who saved the Eternal Queen and Imrik's identity, she was required to do so , and the maids also knew about his relationship with Alarielle internally, so their attitudes were naturally good.

"How is Alarielle's situation?" Seeing the maid's attitude was so good, Imrik didn't show his usual temper, and asked immediately after getting off his horse.

The welcoming maid looked at Masno behind Imrik. She knew that this Dragon Prince was the one who beheaded three Druzzi warriors in a row. The Prince's Julian Baneblade, which made Masno very famous in Ulthuan, and has vaguely overshadowed the former dragon gatekeeper Agthel.

But the Queen's physical condition is highly confidential, and she is not sure whether Masnow can know about it.

Imrik saw the maid looking at Masnow's hesitant expression, and knew that she was a little undecided. Only a few people in Ulthuan were qualified to understand the Eternal Queen's Inheritance Ceremony, and it was not suitable for most people. What you should know, the reception maid may just think that the Eternal Queen is unconscious due to the use of powerful magic.

So he turned to Masino, "You assist the maids in guarding, and I can enter alone."

As a personal guard, Masno couldn't easily leave Imric's side. Seeing the seriousness of the prince, he knew that there must be some things that he couldn't disclose to him, so he nodded and said, "I will wait outside."

And Masno stood at the gate of the hall facing the curious gazes of the maids and the Avalon sisters, holding a Zakarum dragon-patterned shield, and the fiery red dragon armor on his body was extremely bright in the sun, and he looked like a The most serious guards, meticulously staring at anyone in their sights.

After entering the palace, Imrik quickly saw Alarielle under the leadership of the maid, and found her lying on a bed with her eyes closed against the pillow, like a sleeping princess waiting for the prince to wake her up.

After bringing the Dragon Prince here, the maid bowed and retreated, leaving only the chief maid in charge of guarding the queen personally.

Walking to Alarielle's side, after staring at it for a while, she looked at Lirazer, the chief maid next to her, "How's the situation?"

Lilaze's face was a little heavy, "Your Majesty fell into a deep sleep after casting the powerful light of exile. You should know about the inheritance ceremony. The trouble now is that the priest in charge of the inheritance ceremony was killed by Du Luqi. We have nothing to do about it, Your Majesty Alfonso has made a diagnosis for His Majesty, saying that we just need to wait for him to wake up, but..."

"But what?" Imrik lost his good face just now, and he vaguely anticipated what Liraze would say next.

"However, His Majesty's character may change. This is the price of using this powerful power too early." Lilaze hesitated for a moment, but she still made it clear that this is something that no one wants to see, but That's the reality.

Sitting next to Alarielle, looking at her peaceful face and steady breathing, this reminded Imrik that in the cave where she hid to avoid Drucci, she fell asleep by herself in this way. The two of them thought that as long as they escaped from Du Luqi's pursuit, everything would develop in a good direction in the future, but the current situation is really unsatisfactory.

Imrik was thinking about how to save Alarielle's self-awareness. The ancestor dragon tamer did not study the Eternal Queen's inheritance ceremony deeply, because he was not interested in this inheritance power, even the dragon lord ceremony. The inheritance ceremony that can obtain the power of the father of the dragon has not been fully accepted.

After racking his brains for a long time, the only way is to purify the consciousness that has invaded Alaryri's soul by relying on the golden finger cowhide book in his consciousness, but he doesn't know what the consequences will be if he does so. Ruili has already formed an entanglement with the former Eternal Queen at the soul level, and if she is directly purified, will she become an idiot or a fool.

Or maybe the power of the Eternal Queen dissipates instantly under the action of the cowhide, and even Aisha's blessing will disappear. If it is just this state, Imrik doesn't care. The Eternal Queen may be a powerful spellcaster, but his subordinates are not There is no shortage of people who can fight. The big deal is to let Hadaris and Daruit stay in Avalon. The former has been appointed by Rhonin as the next Supreme Mage of the Flame Tower, and the latter will also be the Royal Mage of the Dragon Court , can fully cover the vacancy of losing the Eternal Queen's combat power.

Kaisha's blessing is too important to Ulthuan, the Eternal Queen represents the connection only with Asur, and Druzzi can maintain the fertility rate by relying on the body transformation brought by Moras' sacrifice to Slaanesh, but Once Asur loses Aisha's blessing, the blow to the fertility rate will be a catastrophe.

But when he saw the Eternal Queen in front of him who he thought was a trophy, a kind of sadness appeared in Imrik's heart, but it was replaced by firmness in an instant. He held her gentle palm and felt the familiar temperature. The Dragon Prince did not I care that there is a chief maid next to me, and said softly, "I will find a way, as long as you are the Alarielle who I rescued from Avalon, you will always be my trophy, anyone and anything There is no way to change this reality.”

After finishing speaking, he gently put her catkin back to its original position, and finally stared at the girl lying on the bed in a deep sleep for a moment, then turned around and planned to leave. I can't play any role here, instead of helping her like everyone else Instead of praying for the useless gods, find a solution to the matter elsewhere.

At the moment when he opened the door and was about to leave, Imrik stopped, "Take care of her, Avalon can ask the dragon court for any needs, if anyone wants to do something small while she is sleeping, Dragon Prince Will get rid of these rats for you."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

A little while after the Dragon Prince left, Alarielle, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, and a smile appeared on her originally calm face.

"Your Majesty, if you let the Dragon Prince know that I lied to him, if you don't believe him, he will kill me on the spot." Liraze's tone was a bit complaining. The Queen's so-called deep sleep was just a hoax. Alarielle had woken up yesterday. And the state is also very normal, and there is no such thing as the slightest encroachment of consciousness.

"How could it be? He didn't dare to do that. I'm still here. Don't look at him being fierce all day long. He's actually pretending." Alarielle immediately defended Imrik, but not everyone can do it. Speaking of Prince Long, there are only a few people who can talk about him, such as myself.

Lilaze, who was standing by the bed, also sat on the bed and asked, "Can this really test out his sincerity? I think His Majesty only needs to wave his hand, and the Dragon Prince will definitely bow to your expression."

"When it's just the two of us, there's no need to say honorifics." Alariri glared angrily at Lilaze, who grew up with her, and then picked up the pillow from behind and held it in her arms, saying shyly, " Of course, he won’t speak the truth unless he is forced, just like the stinky rocks on the Longji Mountains.”

"But is it really okay for you to do this? Imrik will definitely search the world for a solution. Once these Caledonians become stubborn, it will be difficult to stop them. If he spends so much energy looking for a solution, in the end Finding out is all useless, and it will definitely break your relationship." Lilaze asked a question, and looked helplessly at the queen who had clearly entered the state of a young girl.

But it's normal to think about it carefully. Imrik first rescued Alarielle, who was in despair, and then defeated the invaders who invaded her home for her. The perfect answer, which fits the image of a hero in every girl's heart.

Hearing this, Alarielle smiled, her slender eyes bent into a crescent shape, "Don't worry, I definitely have future plans for doing this, but you, I think those princes of Saffrey have been asking you In this situation, do you have any plans?"

Lilaze, who was asked about the criteria for choosing a spouse, quickly explained that she only wanted to serve the Queen wholeheartedly, and had absolutely no thoughts of falling in love. She was loyal to Avalon, and it was impossible for her to be moved by a few Saffrey princes.

Alarielle looked at her childhood playmate beside her with a smile on her face, pulled out the pillow in her hand, and held the wooden pendant that Imrik gave her when she was fleeing in Avalon. Knowing the name of this treasure, it is called the Maham Oak Antique, and it was this thing that allowed her to rescue it when her soul was occupied by the consciousness of the previous eternal queens.

Although she doesn't know the specific function of this thing, Alarielle knows that this thing will become a treasure of great significance. It symbolizes a proud and brave knight's successful protection of a princess shrouded in darkness. Be it body or soul.
