It was as if the gods liked to joke with his people the most, and everyone's favorite time was always short. When Penny Reagan calmed herself down completely, she instructed the maid to fill the tub with hot water for herself.

She walked over to the dresser and sat down, looking at herself in the mirror with her short hair and her dry tanned skin, and a strong grievance suddenly struck her.

She wanted to cry, but she couldn't feel the tears.

So, she could only smile at herself in the mirror...

"Madame, the water is ready. The housekeeper cautiously reminded her.

Penny immediately gathered up the unnecessary thoughts in her mind, and stood up and asked the maids to dress her.

At the celebration banquet, Penny was wearing a brand new Federal-State marshal's dress, and the maids had been trained in advance, but the movements of their hands were still a little clumsy, such as one of the maids who couldn't take off the badge when she took it, and finally the housekeeper stepped forward to help.

The clothes gradually faded, and Penny Reagan's body was gradually exposed to the air.

Everyone around, including the housekeeper, couldn't help but gasp when they looked at the hostess's body.

There is obvious redness and swelling on Penny's shoulder joint, the bulging flesh bag can feel pain just by looking at it, and there are very obvious bruises on the waist, abdomen, chest and other places.

"Ma'am, do you need to go and ask the paladin?" asked the housekeeper in a low voice, "your knight training should probably rest for two days, and the redness and swelling of your shoulders are worse than yesterday. ”

"My knight instructor said that I would get better after half a month like this..."Penny endured the pain and gently moved her arm joints, and slowly lay down in the tub with the help of two maids.

"Go down first, all of you. Penny waved her hand tiredly.

The housekeeper glanced at the letter in the hostess's hand, and immediately ordered the surrounding maids to exit the room.

In the basin, Penny Reagan gently closed her eyes and relaxed her body before subconsciously looking at the candle stand next to the tub.

"What the hell do you want to tell me—" Penny whispered softly and slowly opened a letter in her hand, which had been in her hand since he had entered the room, but she had not opened it until this time.

This is a letter from her brother Pedy Reagan...

On the envelope, there were notes she was familiar with.

During the previous turmoil in Sukh City, when the elven coalition besieged Suk City, she was very eager to receive letters from home, but at that time she seemed to be a forgotten person.

Under the flickering candle flame, Penny suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and slowly opened the letter...

My dear sister,

I am writing this letter to you at this moment with a very special feeling, and if you still think of me as your brother, I am sure you will be able to understand what kind of mood I am in now.

Time flies really fast, as if yesterday we were still chatting in the imperial capital without worry, and today we are in a different place. I still remember the scene when you and Phyllis saw me off under the city gate when I left the imperial capital, at that time I was in a very bad mood because of the infighting in the security department, and this bad state of mind made me want to desperately escape from the imperial capital to breathe the fresh air outside, so that I didn't say goodbye to you, and it was really a pity to think about it at this time.

My long military life has allowed me to meet many people and experience many things. During the Orc War, I was very grateful for your ability to write to me every day, and the most anticipated thing after each bloody battle during that time was to lie on the straw mat and read the letter you wrote to me by the moonlight.

Later, Omar's brother was killed in battle, and I fled from Klan territory under my father's arrangement.

We got along briefly in the chaotic imperial capital, and we didn't even have time to have a good chat with you, and in the end I took Phyllis and left you alone.

When I left the imperial capital, I didn't think that I would be crowned king, at that time I was just doing my duty as a nobleman, trying not to disgrace my family's surname, and I tried to do my best.

I experienced despair in the Orc War in Klan, helplessness in the civil war in the Highlands, and betrayal in the Civil War in Kruland.

I've heard from you every day in Crewe since the Elven coalition besieged the Suker Plains, and I'm well aware of what you've experienced in Suke City. I'm glad you were able to survive the last turmoil of the Empire, and I'm sorry for choosing to sit idly by in the meantime, and I don't ask for your forgiveness, because it's not a matter of forgiveness or not.

For all that you have done in Tyre, I am happy for you as your brother, and proud of what you have achieved so far.

I've heard about Kwyn Town, and I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart...

When Penny saw this, the tears were already flowing uncontrollably, and she covered her mouth with her other hand to keep the sound of her crying from coming out.

After a long time, Penny controlled her chaotic emotions and continued to look down:

"Now that we are at the highest point every day, the biting cold wind is blowing every inch of our skin every moment, I can only arm myself to the strongest state so that I will not be eroded by the cold, and I believe you are the same.

So, as the king of the kingdom of Kruria, and as the ruler of millions of people, I regret what you have done in the town of Tyre. I will not give up on the idea of unifying the nations of the human race, and the town of Tyre will be the key to my entry into the Suke Plains, and I will not give up this area, nor will my subjects allow me to do so.

If you are not willing to get out of the way, then the next time we meet we will only be on the battlefield!

I will not persuade you to surrender, let alone use dirty machinations, but if you are determined to prevent me from entering the Suker Plains, then I will crush you with the greatest force and reunite with you in Suk City.

Finally, I want to tell you that no matter what you have done, I will always be your brother, and if you are willing to go home, I can assure the gods that you are still my sister. ”

"You're still my sister," Penny Reagan unconsciously read the last sentence of the letter, reaching out to remove the tears from her face.

"I'm not going to back down!"

Penny stood up from the tub after speaking firmly, put on her bathrobe, and looked at the familiar note on the letter again beside the candle flame, and then extended the letter to the candle flame.

The flickering flames suddenly rose with a burst of heat that baked his cheeks, and the letters slowly turned into dust, and the cold wind blowing in from the window scattered in the room.

...

It's another sunny morning, and the time has unconsciously entered autumn, and the temperature in Crewe City is the most comfortable this season. For the city's middle-class and above-class citizens, this season is perfect for a vacation.

However, autumn also means harvest, and it is the busiest season for the workers and farmers at the bottom.

In the small building of the Kavalburg Gardens, Pedi is training his knights every day.

The morning glow outside the castle building has not yet dissipated, and the courtyard has a refreshing and cool feeling, so that those who stay in it can relax unconsciously.

In the gazebo among the flowers next to the training ground, Erin Fil was directing the maid to set up today's breakfast, followed by Quinna Marne, who was wearing a dark gray dress, and her son Benedict.

Benedict's flickering eyes looked at his uncle at the training ground motionlessly, with curiosity and anticipation on his face, and when the maids were busy, he couldn't help but ask his mother, "When can I train as a knight like Uncle Pedy?"

"Huh," said Erinphier, amused by the child's milky but extremely serious inquiry, replied in place of Kunna-Marne, "when you can afford to hold the iron sword." ”

"I can afford it now!" Benedict tugged at his little fist, tilting his head unconvinced.

"So... What do you choose for the pastries and iron swords on this table?" Erin Fell also deliberately grimaced, pointing to the breakfast that filled the table, and then pointing to the weapons in the training ground in the distance, "If you choose the iron sword, you can go over and train with your uncle now..."

When Benedict heard Erinfield's words, a smile on his face jumped and he was anxious to agree, but Erinfield said in an accentuated tone: "However, you can't touch another pastry on the table today." ”

Benedict's excited expression disappeared immediately after hearing the last sentence, and he frowned and looked at the training ground and the various tempting pastries on the table, swallowed, and couldn't make a decision for a while.

"Can I have both?" asked Benedict with some embarrassment, and then looked at Erin Fil with a look of anticipation.

"You can't be so greedy," Erin Phiel smiled and shook her head.

Benedict pouted and muttered, "Then why is Uncle Pedi so greedy, he can both train as a knight and eat these breakfasts." ”

"How can you say that!" Quinna Marne's face changed slightly and she reprimanded her son in a low voice, and looked at Erin Phier and explained, "Your Majesty, he means..."

Erin Phier waved her hand at Quinna-Marne to show that she was okay, looked at Benedict and asked, "Then can you kill the enemy with a sword?" her tone suddenly became very serious, and she subconsciously carried the majesty of the queen.

Benedict was very uncomfortable with Erin Field's sudden serious gaze, and after he instinctively avoided this gaze, he was full of grievances and made his eyes roll in tears, but he didn't cry.

Quinna Marne looked at her son's appearance at the moment, sighed to herself, and then gently put her hand on her son's head and rubbed it, pointed to the table full of pastries, and said, "Most of these are what you like to eat, look at these things... Do you still need to hesitate?"

Quinna Marne hoped that through her own guidance, her son would give up those unrealistic ideas just now, and Erin Phier frowned at Quinna Marne's guidance move, but she did not stop it.

"Then I'll eat first... Actually..."Benedict said intermittently, "I'm still. I can't hold a sword yet. His voice was almost inaudible at the moment, and he was muttering with a child that outsiders couldn't understand.

"He said he chose to go early. "Quinna Marne 'translates' for herself.

"What an honest kid. With a smile on her face, Erin Phiel looked at Benedict who couldn't wait to grab the pastry, and reached out to bring the custard to him, and said, "If you don't want to wait for Uncle Pedy, you can eat a little first, I remember you seem to have said that you like this the most." ”

"Good!" In front of the food, Benedict directly ignored his mother's previous teachings, and he didn't even look at his mother's hints to him at this moment.

When the crispy texture and charming milky aroma of the "click" quiche echoed in Benedict's mouth, he had forgotten everything and subconsciously wanted to quench his thirst with the cereal soaked next to him. "Pop" His outstretched hand was slapped away by his mother, and the pain on the back of his hand made him subconsciously turn his head to look at his mother, and his mother was also staring at him with a reproachful expression at the moment: "You can only eat what Her Majesty the Queen asked you to eat now." ”

"But... I want to drink water. Benedict did not hold back his tears this time, and when the tears were dripping, his loud cry was already echoing in the gazebo.

"You shouldn't stop him, he's not even three years old. Pedy's voice entered the gazebo at the same time as Benedict's cry rang out.

Kunna Marne shuddered, and when she subconsciously looked at the place where the voice came from, His Majesty the King, who was still on the training ground just now, was close at hand.

"Your Majesty, you should be punished for making mistakes, my father taught me that way since I was a child..."Quinna-Marne had to explain stubbornly, and Benedict, who was next to her, heard her mother's words, and her crying suddenly became louder, so that she could not continue to say the next words at all.

"The older generation likes to teach us that, and it reminds me... Some things before. Pedi listened to the cries echoing in his ears that were louder than the shouts of slaughter on the battlefield, and a very special smile appeared on his originally serious face, "I remember when I was a child, my father used to teach my Omar brother like this, and Omar always looked indifferent, but he scared me a lot. ”

"That's because Omar has been given responsibility since childhood. "Quinna-Marne somehow grew much more emboldened when she heard the king mention of her husband who had died in battle," Benedict was also given such a duty, he was destined to inherit all that Covind had to do, and the future of millions of mountain people would weigh on him, and he could not make mistakes. ”

She said this with a certain strong will, emphasizing Benedict's responsibility and telling her king that there were millions of mountain people behind her and his son. At the same time, he is telling her king: This child in front of you is your brother's son!

In the same way, she was emphasizing that she and her son would only be lords of the Kvinde hillmen!
