Chapter 42: Spoiling
"What's the matter, why is it so messy?
General Decca was returning from a hunt and happened to come across this scene as he passed by.
After receiving the order, the guard on his side immediately went over to ask the patrol commander for the reason.
"Tell the general that it was the patrolling guards who discovered a sneaky young man, who seemed to have kidnapped a member of the royal family, and his specific identity was still being questioned. The guards ran back to say goodbye.
"The Lord of Gladstone and King Monty have always had a holiday, and he will never allow the royal family to appear in the territory of Petersburg. ”
General Deka waved his whip with a cold face, "Tell the guards that there is no need to interrogate, that the young man will be put in a water prison with the royal family, and that all the punishments will be used again, and there is no need to be polite to them." ”
Because of the death of his sister, Gladstone and Monty completely broke up, and the two have parted ways since then, if it were not for the Pope's mediation, Petersburg and Monty's main city would have been wars for a long time?
Even though there was a theocratic constraint between the two main cities, if a member of the royal family strayed into the territory of Petersburg, they would be subjected to all kinds of cruel torture until they died, and then declared missing.
In all these years, except for Princess Leah, no member of the royal family has been able to leave Petersburg alive.
"It is said that the royal family is a beautiful woman, and it is too wasteful to die of torture, don't you want to ...... general?"
These guards have been with General Dika all year round, and they are naturally clear about his preferences.
Spirits and women, both of which are his favorites.
Moreover, General Dika usually takes care of his brothers, and every time he finishes his work, the guards around him can always taste the meat.
"In that case, then take her to the woods next to her, and General Ben will interrogate her personally, and when I am done, it will be yours. General Dika, drunken and drunk, rode his horse to disperse the patrolling guards.
In order to make the interrogation process more comfortable, the brothers will go to the city and bring out a large bed. ”
The guards were very positive about this, after all, they had never had the opportunity to touch the noble royal family in their lives.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is something that everyone present is looking forward to.
"General Dicka, it's me, I spent some time in Petersburg a few months ago. Chen Feng hurriedly waved to General Dika, this time he could be regarded as seeing an old acquaintance.
Decca is the main general under Gladstone, and Chen Feng has had a few encounters with him before.
"Are you...... Chen Feng: That mysterious Oriental, why did you appear here?"
After recognizing Chen Feng, General Dika's drunkenness woke up halfway, and pointed at the girl in his arms with a horsewhip, "This one, it shouldn't be Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
"Yes, Her Royal Highness Leah said that she missed her uncle, so she wanted to come back to visit relatives, but the road was too bumpy, so her head was a little dizzy. ”
Hearing this, Dika was so frightened that she fell straight off the horse.
At this time, the four guards carried out a dilapidated marriage bed from the city, "General Dika, the woods over there are close to the river, the scenery is beautiful, and the environment is quiet, especially suitable for your interrogation." ”
"General Dika, do you want to think badly about Leah?" Chen Feng raised his gun and pointed it at Dika, "She's Gladstone's niece, do you know what the consequences are if you touch her?"
"I'll judge your mother, get out of here!" Dika waved her horsewhip and whipped it hard at the guard.
"Didn't you say that you were going to interrogate it yourself?" the guards were still carrying the foot of the bed in a daze, and they didn't know why General Dika was suddenly irritable.
"Blind your dogs, show me clearly, this is the most noble princess Leah in the Monty Kingdom, and if you have the slightest dirty thoughts about her, you should be damned. General Dika drew his sword and simply killed all the guards involved.
Then he knelt in front of Leah, intending to draw his sword and kill himself.
"General Deka, why is that?"
This movement woke up Leah, who frowned and asked Dika in confusion, "What crime have these people committed?"
"They and their ministers have blasphemed Her Royal Highness, and we are willing to die to apologize for our sins and wash away our sins. ”
"I'll spare you and take us into the city, I want to sleep. Leah reached out and snatched the sword and plunged it into General Deka's scabbard.
After settling in Petersburg, it was getting dark, and when Gladstone heard that Princess Leah had returned, he put down the unfinished official documents in his hand and came to visit him in person.
"It's a bumpy road, are you okay? I ordered someone to boil some ginseng soup, you can drink it while it's hot." Gladstone himself fed the soup to Leah, expressing confusion at her sudden visit.
The royal city of Monty was four or five hundred miles from Petersburg, and it would take at least ten days to make a starry journey with war horses, and Gladstone did not want to believe that it was an obvious lie that he had come to visit him.
"Leah, tell me the truth, have you been wronged in the palace? ”
On the third day of the White Queen's death, Dale was canonized as the new queen by Monty, responsible for managing the harem and the princes and princesses.
Moreover, her identity as an heir has only been recognized by the royal family and nobles, and has not yet been recognized by the Holy Temple.
Only after passing the theocratic test at the coming-of-age ceremony can it be determined whether Leah is qualified to become the new king?
To put it more bluntly, it is to test whether Leah, the new lord, has the meaning of allegiance to theocracy, and whether she can become the new puppet of the pope in the future?
"No, I just missed you, uncle, so I came to see you. Leah shook her head and continued to drink the ginseng soup.
"I'm pinching the day, and your coming-of-age ceremony is less than two months away, and I ran back to Petersburg at such a critical moment, is it because the bad old men of the Holy Temple are deliberately making things difficult for you? ”
The fundamental reason why the Pope was able to rise above the king was because he had thousands of high-level mages under his command, who were the backbone of the defense against the orcs, and almost all the defenses and barriers of the Monty Kingdom needed to be strengthened.
Once there is a conflict between the royal power and the divine power, it will be the orcs who will benefit, and the snipe and clam will compete with each other, so that the fisherman will benefit.
Although the five main cities had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Divine Temple, they did not dare to resist the divine power at will in consideration of the safety of the country.
"Uncle, don't ask, I'm really fine, it's been a bumpy ride, I want to sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Leah swallowed again.
Leah is well aware of Uncle Gladstone's temper, and in the winter of the age of seven, when she was building a snowman outdoors, she was deliberately tricked by several princes to the pond, and after falling into the water, she had a high fever, was bedridden, and was seriously ill for a long time.
The news soon reached Gladstone's ears, and in just ten days, the main city of Monty was surrounded by tens of thousands of silver-armored knights, and all kinds of siege weapons were lined up at the city gates.
In the end, with the mediation of the Holy Temple, the princes were sent to the frontier, which extinguished Gladstone's anger.
