Brand Rudolph turned his wrist, the blunt sword whirring in his hand, the swordsman slashed the sword diagonally from above, and Blandett parried with his sword and pushed the swordsman away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, Your Highness, you are trying too hard. The swordsman gave a demonstration, and when Brandt's sword slashed down, he used his left foot as the center of gravity, and with a clever turn, he dodged the blade of the sword and slashed at Brandt's chain mail.

Brand slashed out, the swordsman parried with his sword, and immediately countered with his sword after his side, and Brand slashed the tip of his sword to the ground, blocking the blow.

"Very well, Your Highness, that's it, with skill, oh oh oh. The swordsman parried Brandt's attacks continuously, "Rest, I'm tired." ”

"I'm not tired!" cried Brandt, sullen, throwing down his blunt sword, unchaining his chainmail, and running to the pavilion to drink the juice of the plums.

"Brother, you are so amazing!" Caesar Rudolph's eyes widened, sitting on a stone bench, wearing a brown silk long-sleeved shirt and a white cashmere jacket, panting slightly, and then turned to Ivana Rudolph and asked, "Mom, can I go to sword practice like my brother?"

Without thinking, Ivana refused, "No!"

The swordsman walked over, bowed and said in admiration: "Your Majesty the Queen, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, good afternoon." Oh, I have to say, the eldest prince is really a good material for sword practice, with great strength, high understanding, and tirelessness. ”

", that sword is fluttering. Brandett drank the sweet and sour plum juice and complained, "Swordsmanship is not as fun as spears." ”

"Master, can I practice swords?" Caesar took the swordsman's hand, blinked, and looked at Ivana pitifully.

The swordsman looked at the queen, and Ivana glared coldly at the swordsman. The swordsman cleared his throat: "No, Your Highness, you are still young, wait until you grow up." ”

"I'm 12 years old!" Caesar pouted and slapped his hand on the table, "I don't! I don't! I want to practice!

"Caesar!" Ivana raised her voice, "you're still young, the swordsman is right, practicing swords is dangerous. ”

"My brother has been practicing since he was a child, he practiced when he was 6 years old, and he said that he could hold a wooden sword when he was 6 years old!" Caesar also raised his voice, "But you won't let me hold a wooden sword!" I swear, I can hold it!"

At this time, Ivana heard footsteps, and Prime Minister Sebastian walked slowly. Today he wears a black and gold trimmed robe, and his thick linen shawl curls are tied in a twisted braid at the back of his head, giving the impression that he looks suave.

The swordsman bowed and retreated in amusement. Ivana ignored the swordsman and stared at Sebastian, she liked his angular face and serious look, which made people feel safe.

"Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, good afternoon. Sebastian bowed, saluting to the standard, and at first glance he was well-educated.

"Uncle Prime Minister!" cried Caesar, stepping off his stool, taking Sebastian's hand, and exclaiming, "will you tell me a story today? ”

"About Emperor Rhodes? Oh, that's really seven days and seven nights. He was born with divine powers, superb swordsmanship, and strong will. When it snowed, when the enemy thought that he would be besieged to death, he took the initiative to open the city gate and defeat all the enemies trapped in the snow. Sebastian dipped some water and gestured on the table.

"Oh, eat rats, damn it, Sebastian, can you please stop saying such disgusting things. Brandett wrinkled his nose and threw down his glass, "I'll go to sword practice again." ”

"I'm going too!" cried Caesar.

"No, Brandt, take care of your brother, take him to the Imperial Garden Pool to play in the water, pick flowers, whatever, but don't sweat a lot, especially not to practice swords!" Ivana glared at the two children.

Brandt gave Ivana a blank look: "Yes." "Pull Caesar away.

"The relationship between the two princes is really good. Sebastian exclaimed, "Your Majesty is not in the Imperial Garden?"

Ivana snorted and complained, "You are looking for Your Majesty? You shouldn't have come here at this time, to go to the boar forest, maybe he is hunting again." ”

Sebastian shook his head, "Oh, it's hunting again." ”

Ivana frowned and said, "I'm so annoyed with him, Sebastian, everyone else calls me Empress, God knows what kind of life I'm living." It's okay if you come, talk to me. ”

She stood up and walked down the path, the tulips on both sides were almost gone, and the florists would come in a few days to change the other flowers. But she doesn't care, she's tired of watching it for more than ten years.

"I wish I had married him sooner, Sebastian, a few years earlier, maybe he wouldn't have been what he is now. Ivana touched a residual tulip petal, "I remember when His Majesty was 20 years old, it was the 81st year of the imperial calendar, my father took me to watch the knight tournament of the empire, and Auguste, who was still the crown prince at the time, had a strong body, tight muscles, and short maroon hair, thick and sexy, and every girl was tempted. ”

Sebastian touched his beard: "It seems that I also visited that martial arts competition, no, no, no, Your Majesty, don't look at me like that, I am not really interested in martial arts, my father took me there, and then I dare to be more interested in the structure of the arena." But I remember that time, Prince August fired a shot at him, fought for three rounds, and finally found a gap and stabbed Aldington Francis 'Jungle Ranger' Wildington Francis from Gasganik's vice-captain with one shot. ”

"Great game!" Ivana remembers the game vividly, "I was 16 years old, and I was already slim and knew how to do things. I fell in love with the Prince, and when he rode by, I confidently threw my handkerchief, but he put the Olive Branch Ring on Dorothy's head!"

Sebastian raised his head, glanced at the fountain in front of him, and folded his hands behind his back like an old man: "At the age of 25, the crown prince August ascended the throne, and a year later, Empress Dorothy died, leaving behind the 4-year-old eldest prince Brandt. ”

Ivana looked at the two children in the distance, sighed, and said: "Two years later, I got married into the palace as I wished, and married the dream Auguste Rudolph. However, he is no longer the brave boy he used to be. Dorothy's death hit him so hard that he drank heavily all day. At first, he didn't even touch me. Until one day, he got drunk and forcibly pressed on top of me, and I was so excited that I was dying, but it was Dorothy who was shouting in his mouth. ”

Sebastian shrunk her neck, Ivana didn't care, who she needed to talk to, Sebastian looked like a good fit to talk to.

"Don't be embarrassed, I don't feel embarrassed. Prime Minister, listen carefully. Ivana continued, "Alcohol ruined him, and it ruined Caesar. Caesar was born weak, not at all like Auguste and Brandt. ”

Caesar was running around among the flowers, and Brandt lifted him up in circles. Ivana screamed, "Stop! Brandt, you're going to hurt Caesar!"

Sebastian touched the necklace around his neck, which was carved in agate with the coat of arms of the Heinrich family - the twin towers and ripples. He cleared his throat and said softly: "Empress, I believe that Prince Caesar will be strong in the future, he is just young. By the way, I would like to ask, how do I, as Prime Minister, compare to my predecessors?"

Ivana secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Former Prime Minister, why are you asking about him? How can he compare with you? You are in the prime of life, handsome, elegant and knowledgeable. ”

Sebastian owed: "No, Your Majesty, you have won the prize. I'm 40 years old, and I'm not as knowledgeable as a bachelor. I mean, Your Majesty thinks I've been Prime Minister for three months, how about it?"

Ivana blinked: "Compared to the drunkard who drinks and hunts, and has a distorted figure, you are more worthy of the empire." ”

Sebastian touched the necklace and bowed, "You really won the prize, I really ...... The former Prime Minister served the late Emperor Nicklaus Rudolph and was the teacher of the Great Prince, and every time I went to night, I couldn't sleep peacefully for fear that I would not be able to do well. ”

Ivana touched Sebastian's shoulder, which was not as muscular as Auguste's back then, but it was also lean and powerful: "No, there is no such thing. Don't mention the old man again. He taught Blandett to learn like Peter Rudolph, who is that old madman, Peter Rudolph?

Ivana placed her hand on Sebastian's chest and felt the temperature on her chest. She wanted caresses too much, and Sebastian was much more urbane than Auguste. She imagined Sebastian gently hugging her into bed, rather than a drunkard like Auguste treating her like a while she was asleep.

"Your Majesty," Sebastian said abruptly, "since the Emperor is not here, then I will retire first, I am busy with official business." It's an honor to share your happiness...... with sorrow. Everything will be fine, long live the unruly Rhodes Empire!"

Ivana knew that she was out of shape, looked at the back of the prime minister who left in a hurry, and found that her heart was beating hard.

"Mom, Mom, Uncle Prime Minister is gone?" Caesar's voice startled her from behind. She turned around and looked at Caesar, who was sweating profusely, the child's face was flushed with sweat.

"I said, don't let him sweat!brandt, do you want to make my brother sick?!" Ivana screamed, looking at the strong brandett in disgust. The gods were really unfair and passed on all the virtues of Auguste to Brandt.

Brandett gave her a blank look, and this time she saw it clearly, and the kid looked at Sebastian in the distance, and then at her, and asked, "What is Sebastian doing here?"

"Find your drunkard father!" Ivana yelled at Brand Ter.
