The warship 'Eagle', on which they were boarding, sailed along the curved coastline of the floating continent of Abiang, hidden in the clouds, and after sailing continuously for three hours, they saw the protruding headland of the mainland. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the tip of the headland, stands a majestic high castle.

Wales explained to the talented man standing on the back deck that it was Newcastle City. However, instead of heading directly to Newcastle, the Eagle chose to dive to the lower end of the mainland.

"Why dive down?"

Wales pointed to the distant sky above the city, far above the tip of the headland, where a huge ship was slowly descending, as if it had not seen the 'eagle' as it sailed cautiously through the clouds.

"The traitor's ship. ”

It was really huge, it was indescribable, the huge ship was more than twice the length of the 'Eagle', and I don't know how many sails were floating, just when people thought it was going to descend slowly, but they saw it aim at Newcastle City's lined up guns and fire in unison.

"Knock knock. ”

The shock of the salvo was felt even by them on the Eagle, and the shells hit the city, shattering the walls and causing a small fire.

"That's the former flagship of our fleet, the Imperial Power, which has been renamed Lexington since it fell into the hands of traitors, and the name of the battlefield where those guys first won from us is honored. ”

Wales said with a smile.

"The unlucky warship, blockading Newcastle from above, just like that, occasionally fired cannons at the city as if it were deliberately difficult. ”

The talented man cleared the clouds and looked at the huge battleship from afar, countless cannons were lined up on the side, and flying dragons circled above the battleship.

"The two sides of the cannon are total, eight hundred in all, and even the dragoons have brought it, and the rebellion of that battleship marks the beginning of everything, and the reason for this is the battleship, then, our ship cannot be the opponent of that monster, so through the clouds, from the lower end of the continent approaching Newcastle, where there is a port that only we know. ”

Through the clouds, as soon as they came to the lower end of the continent, the surroundings became pitch black, because the continent was overhead, the sun could not shine, and in the clouds, the horizon was zero, Wales said that because there was a danger that the continent would be bumped into if you were not careful, so the warships of the anti-rebellion army would never approach the lower end of the continent, and the cold air containing water vapor was playing with their cheeks.

"According to the map, sailing with only the light of measurement and magic is a breeze for the navigators of the Wang Li Air Force. ”

The aristocracy, after all, are just ruthless fellows who don't understand the sky, says Wales.

After sailing for a while, a part of the black hole in the head opened, and on the mast board, bathed in the magic of illumination, a cave about three hundred miles in diameter appeared, and the opening was truly spectacular.

"Stop for now. ”

"Stop, ai-sa—"

The sailman repeated the command, and according to the Welsh order, the Eagle sailed against sail, and even in the darkness the sailors put away their sails at the right time and stopped right below the cave.

"A slight increase. ”

"Slight ascent, AI-SA-"

Slowly the Eagle ascended towards the cave, followed by the Mary Grant on which the Eagle sailors were traveling.

Wald nodded.

"It's like an empty thief, Your Highness. ”

"It's like an empty thief, Viscount. ”

Ascending along the cavern, seeing the light above me, as if to be sucked there, the Eagle ascended.

Brightly lit up, the ship arrived at the secret port of Newcastle, where a large group of people were waiting on the shore wall, covered with a layer of glowing white moss, in a huge stalactite cavern, and as soon as the Eagle approached the shore, they threw down the ropes that tied the ship, to which the sailors bolted to the Eagle, and the ship docked at the shore wall, and the gangway with wheels gurgled and was placed on board.

Wales urged Louise to enter the gangway.

A tall, old nobleman came over and greeted Wales.

"Haha, that's another great result. Your Highness. ”

The old nobleman smiled when he saw the Mary Grant following the Eagle in the stalactite cave.

"Rejoice, Barry, it's brimstone, brimstone. ”

Wales shouted, and the assembled soldiers cheered along.

"Oh, it's sulfur, isn't this gunpowder, and it will protect our reputation!"

The old nobleman began to whimper.

"I have followed the previous king for more than 60 years...... There has never been such a day of joy, Your Highness, who has tasted all the hardships since the rebellion, but there is so much brimstone to say......"

Wales burst out laughing.

"If you can show the pride and reputation of the Wang family to the traitors, and then be defeated. ”

"Gloriously defeated! My old bones are also trembling with fighting spirit, and by the way, as for the report, the intention of the traitors to attack the city will begin at noon tomorrow, and it is very good that His Highness can arrive at it. ”

"Now it seems that this is really a small difference! If I can't catch up with the battle, it will be a shame for me as a warrior!"

Wales they were sincerely happy, Louise heard the words of defeat, her face also changed, defeat is equal to death, those people, are not afraid of death?

"So, who are these?"

The old nobleman named Barry, looking at Louise and them, asked Wales.

"His Royal Highness the Ambassador, who has come from Torristin, has an important mission and has come to our country. ”

Barry's expression of "What is the matter with the ambassador coming to the royal government that is ready to perish?" for a moment, but immediately changed to a smile.

"Your Highness the Ambassador, I am Barry, the retinue of His Highness, the road is far away, welcome to the Kingdom of Abion, I can't hold a grand welcome party, but there is a small wedding banquet tonight, I hope Your Highness the Ambassador can attend. ”

Louise and the others followed Wales to his room in the city, the Welsh room on the highest floor in the city, but it was not like the prince's room, it was very simple.

A rough set of beds, chairs and tables made of wood, and a tapestry depicting war hangs on the wall.

The prince sat down in his chair and pulled out the drawer of the table, in which was a small chest encrusted with precious stones, and the prince took off the necklace around his neck, on which was a small key strung together, and Wales inserted the key into the key of the box and opened it. On the inside of the lid, a portrait of Princess Ann Rietta is painted.

Wales noticed Louise and they peeked at the little box and said shyly.

"This is my treasure chest. ”

There was a letter in it, it seemed to be a princess's thing, Wales took out the letter, kissed it affectionately, opened the letter, and began to read it slowly, as if it had been read several times, it had become very tattered.

When he had finished reading, Wales carefully folded the letter again, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Louise.

"This is the letter I got from the princess, and as such, it has indeed been returned to you. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

Louise bowed her head deeply and took the letter.

"Tomorrow morning, the 'Eagle' on which the non-combatants are on will sail from here, please take it back to Torlistine. ”

Louise looked at the letter deeply, and spoke as if she had made a decision.

"That, Your Highness...... Just now, when it comes to a glorious defeat, then there is no possibility for the Wang army to win?"

Louise asked hesitantly, and very succinctly, Wales replied.

"No, our army is 300, the enemy is 50,000, and there is not even a 1 in 10,000 possibility. All we can do is let those guys see how brave we are to the death. ”

Louise hung her head.

"Your Highness's sacrifice...... Is that included?"

"Of course, I really planned to die. ”

The talented man who watched the conversation between the two sighed, he might die tomorrow, but the crown prince didn't even have a little panic, there was no sense of reality, it looked like a plot in a play.

Louise bowed her head deeply and bowed to Wales as if she had something to say.

"Your Highness...... Please forgive me for being rude, though not very polite, I have something to ask you. ”

"Whatever it is, let's hear it. ”

"This letter, the letter I just gave me, reads ......"

"Louise. ”

The talented man looked at Louise reproachfully, thinking that it would be bad to ask like that after all, but Louise quickly raised her head and continued to ask Wales.

"Her Royal Highness the princess looked very unusual when she gave me this task, yes, as if she was worried about her lover...... Moreover, on the inner lid of the box just now, a portrait of Her Royal Highness the Princess was drawn, and Her Royal Highness's painful expression when she kissed the letter, could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wales are ......"

Wales smiled, understanding Louise's intentions.

"Are you trying to say that my cousin Ann Lietta and I are lovers?"

Louise nodded.

"I imagined so, please forgive my rudeness, so it seems that the content of this letter is......"

Wales put his hand on his forehead and said after a little hesitation to say it or not.

"It's a love letter, it's what you imagine it to be. Indeed, if this love letter falls into the royal family of Germania, it is as if Ann Rietta told them in a letter, things will get very bad, because, in any case, she swore to me in the name of her ancestor Brimir to love forever, and it is well known that swearing to love in the face of ancestors can only be done when she is married, and if this letter is exposed to the world, she will be guilty of bigamy, and the emperor will definitely cancel the marriage contract with the princess who committed bigamy, if so, the alliance will naturally break, and Torlistine will have to face those terrible aristocratic factions with the strength of a country。 ”

"In short, Your Royal Highness Princess, you are in love with Your Highness, right?"

"That was a long time ago. ”

Louise said to Wales in an emotional tone.

"Your Highness, please escape, please flee to Toristine!"

Valudo walked over and gently placed his hand on Louise's shoulder, but Louise was still aggressive.

"Please, come with us to Torlistine!"

"It can't be done. ”

Wales said with a smile.

"Your Highness, this is not my request! It is Her Highness's request! Didn't Her Highness write that in Her Highness Princess's letter? I used to be Her Highness the Princess's playmate when I was a child! It is impossible for Her Highness the Princess to look at the person she loves so much and not save him! Please tell me, Your Highness! Your Highness the Princess, I should have advised you to flee at the end of the letter!"

Wales shook his head.

Not a single line of such words was written. ”

"Your Highness!"

Louise asks Wales.

"I'm a royal and don't lie. I swear by the princess and in my honor, even if it is only one line, and I have not written a word begging me to flee. ”

Wales said with a pained look, and from that tone it was clear that it was in response to what Louise had pointed out.

"Angelita is a princess and will not prioritize her private affairs over national affairs. ”

Louise understands that Wales is so determined, and Wales is sheltering Ann Rietta, because she doesn't want her subordinates to think that Ann Lietta is an emotional woman.

Wales patted Louise on the shoulder.

"You are a girl of integrity, Miss Warielle, with integrity, honesty, and a very spirited eye. ”

Louise hung her head lonely.

"A word of advice to you, you can't be qualified for the post of ambassador with integrity like that, come on. ”

Wales smiled, showing snow-white teeth, a charming smile.

"However, it may be appropriate to be an ambassador to a country that is about to perish, and a government that will perish tomorrow is more upright than anyone else, because there is nothing to protect other than reputation. ”

Then Wales gazed at the hands placed on the table in a basin filled with water, which looked like a clock or something.

"It's almost party time, and you're the last guest our country has ever received, and I hope you'll be there. ”

They walked out of the room, and Valudo stayed behind to salute Wales.

"Is there anything else? ”

"I have something I would like to ask Your Highness. ”

"Whatever it is, let's hear it. ”

Valudo told Wales of his wishes, and Wales burst out laughing.

"It's not a very good thing, I'm happy to accept this task. ”
