Chapter 139: An Old Man's Last Effort
Late at night, the group hurriedly packed their bags and left the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Charlotte and the three returned the way they came, followed by two tall maids. The two maids lowered their heads and said nothing, and along the way, they encountered several waves of palace guards, but they didn't dare to ask too much because they were afraid of Charlotte and Vivien Leigh's identities.
You don't have to think about it to know the identities of those two maids. One of them is the imperial princess Cynthia, and the other is naturally Elbert, who is full of loveless love.
Thanks to Elbert being a mage with top looks and not a strong figure, otherwise Elbert would be resistant, just thinking about the appearance of a strong man like Edie wearing a maid's suit, Charlotte felt spicy.
But this alone was not enough to hide from the palace guards and leave the palace, so the royal butler became the key person they needed to fight for.
The group immediately found the palace butler, and when they learned of the concerns of several people, the old but energetic butler immediately offered to help. Under his leadership, the group left the palace gate without danger.
"The contemptible people are sent here. In the corner where there was no one outside the gate, the butler bowed to Elbert and Cynthia, "I will find a way to hide these few days for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although the time is short, there is no guarantee that I will definitely be able to hide it from Prince Mesfield, but I will do my best to do all this." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Steward. Elbert bowed to the loyal old man from the bottom of his heart, "Please also try to protect your own safety, the future court of the San Lorenzo Empire will still need your management." ”
"It is you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, that the Empire needs. The butler smiled and nodded, "I sincerely look forward to the day when you ascend to the Supreme Throne!"
The group said goodbye, and this time, everyone, including Charlotte, saluted the dutiful old man.
In the cold wind, the housekeeper looked at the distant backs of the five people and sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, you really shouldn't have put Maysfield on the throne of Regent...... the old man shook his head, and turned to walk towards the palace inner garden, this time, his originally straight back bent weakly, looking like a dying old man with one foot in a coffin.
As he walked, he looked at the Protector Mage Tower, which was not far away. The old man, who knew Wade's character well, had realized what was going on there.
He shook his head and sighed, "The moment we see those young people, you and I have to admit that our era is coming to an end. ”
He silently walked into the imperial palace and took out a jar of medicine from his arms. Uncorked, he spilled the medicine on the corpses, and soon the corpses made a zzi sound that gradually turned into a puddle of foaming pus.
"Does the future belong to Erosa?or Icewind Castle?or is it the child of Zenas?" the old man thought for a moment, and he quickly picked himself up and straightened his chest and walked towards his bedchamber, "No! neither Maysfield nor Lawrence will want to steal the glory of the Empire before I am in the grave!"
The old man issued a secret order, and when he arrived at his dormitory, a tall young man was already standing inside.
Ignoring the energetic young man waiting for orders, he pulled out the bottom compartment from his bag, and pulled out a mask as thin as a cicada's wings.
It was Eleni's mask of deception, a precious object that had been discovered by the old man in a ruin over thousands of years. For this reason, the old man, whose physical functions had not yet decayed at that time, had a fierce confrontation with Nancy of the Phantom Forest.
That fierce duel with the millennium legend of course ended in his defeat, and it was then that he became attached to the previous emperor of San Lorenzo. Since then, he has been incognito, and there is one less legendary powerhouse in the world, and one more unknown palace steward.
"Nancy of the Forest of Illusions...... Eleni's mask of deception......" the old man rubbed the precious mask, "Now think about it, if time were to come all over again, would I still fight against the Phantom Forest for this item that I have never used a few times in my life?"
He smiled, but the answer was self-evident.
The legend was hunted down like a lost dog for a prop that he hadn't used a few times, which was of course the most stupid and greedy decision. But if you don't have this prop, you won't have the wonderful fate that follows.
The legend of what was once a famous, greedy and vain man is now just a palace steward. Despite his old age, despite his lack of strength, he still has to do his last bit to save the empire.
Because for the old man who gave up all glory, the empire was his home, and Elbert and Cynthia were his children.
He no longer remembered the past time, and handed the mask to the young man, "Remember, from today onwards you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Elbert! The crown prince is still in the imperial palace, no matter how sinister the outside world is, he is still the future emperor who will not be manipulated by anyone and dare to face all difficulties!"
"Yes!" the young man put on his mask, which rippled as if he had life, and a moment later, a noble young man as noble as Elbert appeared in the room.
"Mesfield, you out-and-out madman and fool! I will not put the empire in your hands!" the old man's cloudy eyes flashed, "Lawrence, you ambitious man, I will never let His Highness the Crown Prince leave a stigma and give you an excuse to get involved in the supreme kingship!"
"Is that your choice?"
Bang Bang Bang ......
There was a sudden burst of applause in the dormitory.
The old man looked sharply into the shadows, and saw a young man leaning against the unlit window, clapping his hands softly.
The young man dressed as Elbert took a few steps back and opened the door, and outside the door, the figure of Maysfield appeared.
"Mesfield!" the old man instantly realized what had happened, and he roared at the prince outside the door, "How dare you!"
"Of course I dare!" Maesfield smiled and patted Elbert on the collar, "Since they all did something to Wade's old immortal, how could I leave out your old dog! ”
"Next, it's just a matter of letting the real crown prince die, right?" the young man leaning against the window applauded again, and he laughed, "It's yours, Your Royal Highness Prince Mesfield!"
"After all, as an ally, you can't let Crown Prince Bruno underestimate you. Mesfield smiled smugly, and he seemed pleased with his actions.
"Bruno Harris!?" the old man immediately realized the identity of the young man, and he trembled and pointed his index finger at Mesfield, "You, you madman! Do you know what you're doing? These hungry wolves will eat you and the whole empire to the ground! You'll be the Empire's burial!"
"Don't talk to me so greedy!" Bruno clapped his hands in Mesfield's uncertain expression, and immediately, several imposing strangers broke into the room, "Before you die, you want to stir up trouble between me and my close allies, you really damn it!"
Bruno no longer cared about the old man who was already a dead body in his eyes, he walked to the door and patted the fake Elbert on the shoulder as well, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, let me solve your worries next." I'll kill the real one, and then you'll be the only crown prince of the empire!"
As he spoke, he walked out the door with a fierce expression on his face like that of a red dragon before foraging for food.
