There is a room in the palace, which is built behind the palace, inconspicuous but very hidden.

    King Solan usually secretly talks with his courtiers in this room. The walls are so soundproof that even the guards standing guard at the door can't hear the sound coming from the room.

    It was here that Horst and the diehard old nobles met for the second time.

    Most of the diehards had ugly expressions, their eyes fixed on Horst, waiting for him to speak first.

    Horst, with a face of natural justice and awe-inspiring, said in a helpless and helpless tone: "I didn't expect this situation to happen, Eleuil is too nonsense, and this vow is also Can you do whatever you want?"

    An old man on the opposite side snorted an angry voice from his nose: "Who sent her to the frontier temple when she was a child, no one taught her well, and of course she doesn't understand the overall situation. You said yes No, Your Majesty?"

    Horst shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk more.

    I couldn't help sneering in my heart, these old guys knew that they were secretly blaming him now, but when I ordered Eleuil to be exiled a few years ago, I didn't see them jumping out against it.

    It’s a pity that it’s not the right time to turn to each other’s old accounts, Horst pressed a sarcastic idea and said kindly: “This is the end of the matter, it is meaningless to discuss what happened in the past, I also want to continue the blood of brother Wang. , but Eleuil is unwilling, so she can't be forced."

    "That's because she doesn't understand!"

    "Even if the so-called oath is true, isn't it obvious enough that it is more important to gain a body of brute force than to continue the lineage?"

    "The goddess Luodus is also a goddess who protects the royal family, and she is definitely more happy to see the continuation of the royal family. She will not be blamed for breaking the oath of the princess..."

    "How can this work? Like Eleuil said, she still needs her strength to protect the border and defend against the Sanur." Horst sighed, "I'm Solan's King, you can't use your anger."

    The old man headed by the diehards has not said a word since the beginning. Hearing this, he frowned his long gray eyebrows and tapped on the ground with a python-headed cane in both hands, showing a clear expression. dissatisfied.

    "With so many soldiers in Solancia, can't we find other people who are good at leading troops to deal with Sanur except the princess?"

    Horst thought to herself that if Eleuil’s abilities were as stated in the news, I’m afraid there would be no more suitable candidates than her.

    But after all, the news came from halfway across the country, and he couldn't tell whether it was accurate or not. It is more likely that the border generals were building momentum for her.

    The city lord of Tigbia is the old genus of the previous king, and he will build momentum for the queen, isn't it normal?

    "It's too late to say..."

     Horst pretended to be sorry.

    The old man said with a gloomy face: "No, it's not too late."

    "As long as she's still around, there will always be a way."

    Horst took a sip of tea, and suddenly remembered something and put down the tea bowl: "I almost forgot, I have something to ask Wick, if you have nothing else, just-"

    "Wick? Oh, the slave boy."

    Some of the diehards remember this name. It was the envoy that Horst sent to the border to recall the princess, and it took nearly a year to return with the princess.

    This means that Wick may be able to provide useful intelligence.

    The old man was not ready to leave: "When I was very old, my back was sore and my legs were sore, and I couldn't get up for a while. Your Majesty doesn't mind if I sit for a while?"

     Horst said: "Please."

    Soon Wick followed a white cavalry through the door.

    When he saw a room full of people, he could not help but pause.

    "I called you here to confirm something with you."

    Wick bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, please say, I know everything."

    "What impression do you have of the female officer beside Eleuil, let's hear it."

    Wick's expression remained unchanged, and his mind turned fast: "Dare to ask which female official?"

    "The one who follows her every step of the way, with black hair and blue eyes, seems to be called... Lorca."

    Wick nodded and said in a flat tone: "Officer Lorca doesn't speak much, and she doesn't see any problems. The biggest special thing is that she rarely acts separately from Her Royal Highness. He paused, "His Royal Highness calls her teacher."

    "That's all?"

    "Yes, Your Majesty."

    Horst was a little disappointed, but he didn't express it, he just said meaningfully: "I believe in you, I hope you don't have anything to hide."

    Wick's heart tightened, and immediately knelt down on one knee: "I will never hide it!"

    "Of course, of course. I'm just saying it casually, just as a reminder—you step back."

    Wick was frightened and reassured, before turning around and following the white armored cavalry out of the room.

    As soon as he turned his back, his eyes changed slightly.

    Wick did not say everything he knew.

    For nearly a year, he could hear a few words from the guards, including the curious guards' guesses about the identity of the mysterious female official.

    On the other hand, the life as a slave made Wick quite observant. In his opinion, the relationship between the princess and the female official was too close to the distance between the teacher and the disciple .

    But none of these Wicks said.

    He just hopes that he can find another way out for himself.

    The door closes.

    The old man was silent for a moment: "...Teacher?"

    Horst: "That's right, it is said that this lady and Eleuil met at the Katiera Temple. Since they are called teachers, I guess it is Luo who is in charge of teaching Eleuil there. Erga."

    He took a slow sip of tea: "My poor niece seems to trust her very much, but there is one thing, it is very strange."

    The old man's eyelids twitched: "Please also express your majesty."

    "Then tell me straight, I suspect she's Serena's."

    Although it was just suspicion, the eyes of the stubborn old man, hidden under the wrinkles of aging, immediately widened, revealing a sinister look.

    Serina.

      Brain, pin your hopes on the princess!

    And the person she left behind became the princess' teacher?

    "Don't worry, I said it, it's just suspicion." Horst's upright face showed just the right amount of worry, "But Eleuil's behavior was so outrageous, she caught it again The role of a teacher is really hard for me to think about.”

    After a long silence, the old man spoke slowly.

    "Your Majesty is right."

    The secret conversation ended shortly after.

    The diehards left the room and walked to a secluded place, someone whispered, "Brother, do we want to..."

    "Think about it, Your Majesty will not tell us this for no reason."

    The interrogator groaned, "So too."

     "But we still have to do it, we can't delay it any longer, we have no choice." His expectation is to see the real heir to the royal family before he dies."

    He can do anything about it.

    Lotus put down the book and looked out the window.

    The trees planted in the garden have faded from the monotony of winter, and they have been dyed with new green colors, and tiny flower buds can be vaguely seen.

    Acht is located in the central part of Solancia, slightly to the north, the winter does not last long, less than two months after the creation day, the temperature gradually rises, the floating on the Ilu River The ice has long since melted.

    In the eyes of the Solan, it is the goddess of the river that makes the water flow, the goddess of the earth gives life to plants, the sun wheel driven by the sun **** casts more light and heat, the goddess of spring takes over the class of the **** of winter, she The footsteps are endless.

    In the past month or so, Eleuil was obviously busy.

    She always has her own ideas, who should befriend, how to achieve her goals, and how to quietly establish a foothold in the royal city.

    The princess blends into Acht quickly and naturally, filling the void during her exile as if she never left.

    At the same time, as "the queen's highly regarded female official" and "the teacher from far away Cadella", the avatar image of Luodus was quickly remembered by the nobles.

    It is different in the royal city and in the border camps and cities along the way.

    In the barracks, the atmosphere is stricter and more casual.

      At most, it's just sitting around a campfire and drinking while celebrating.

    The social atmosphere of the cities along the way is similar to that of the royal city, but at those times, they were mobile. From one city to another, there are many different customs and habits in many places, it really seems like a long journey, and I don't feel deeply.

    In Acht, the circle and the form of communication are fixed. Today the nobleman invites everyone to the mansion for a banquet. On occasions, the exact same decent smile, blatant or cautious testing.

    The only difference is that no one invited Eleuil to the arena to watch the beast show.

    Luodus reasonably suspects that no one dared to choose a place of right and wrong like the arena because of the deeds of the princess in the previous main city.

    Eliuil began to avoid attending with Luodus as much as possible.

    There is a very important reason, because she is worried that the goddess of the river is not familiar with this kind of situation, and she does not want Luodus to stay in the eyes of a group of noble nobles who talk and laugh.

    In fact, Luo Das is very familiar with it. Maybe the social forms of modern and ancient Solan are very different, but the core is still the same, she is used to it.

    And…

    Here, Luodus basically doesn't hide his disobedience, his etiquette is in place, his attitude is indifferent, and he just waits for the nobles to automatically make up the truth behind them.

    If you come and go, you will always catch something.

    But the guy hiding in the dark was unexpectedly calm, Luo Das had noticed that someone was stalking, and the other party did not attack from beginning to end, just watched.

    Very patient.

    At this point, no one has done anything to her.

    This makes Luo Das a little sorry.

    Not long after Eleuil went out, the goddess of the river sat by the window, thought about it, and decided to go to the temple.

    The author has something to say:

    Lotus: Let me see, which side's lucky thug/assassin/hijacker will come first?
