In the imperial city, deep in the majestic palace, a family banquet is taking place. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The middle-aged man sitting at the top of the table was a little pale and very thin, and the wide and gorgeous robe was worn on his body, which made him even more thin and weak.

He smiled and said to the fifth princess sitting on the left: "Elena, I've worked hard for you, running back and forth like this." ”

Elena had already changed into a military uniform, at this time she looked classical and elegant in a long white dress, she smiled slightly at the man sitting at the head, "Father, don't worry, the battle on the front line has stabilized, besides, I haven't been transferred back to the Dragoon, you are really, you are not feeling well, you have to tell me, I am anxious on the front line, but I can't rush back to take care of you immediately." ”

She called his father, and then the identity of this man was about to be revealed.

At this time, a man who was much older than Elena sitting on the right side of the emperor spoke, "Elena, you don't have to worry about this, I'm still in the imperial capital, no matter what, I won't let my father have anything to do." ”

The man who spoke looked to be in his thirties, with a short beard, a dignified appearance, and a tall build, who looked more like an emperor than his emperor father.

There were other royal families here, but there were not many of them, the emperor had married two queens, the first of whom bore him two sons, the eldest son Michel Alexander, the one who had just spoken.

The second son, Lucas, sat behind Michelle, and the queen died in childbirth when she gave birth to him, so he was a little withdrawn since he was a child.

Originally, there was a third prince, and the second prince were twins, but unfortunately, he died after birth, and the second prince's loneliness is also inseparable from this.

The fourth prince, Louis, was born to a lady-in-waiting, and was originally an illegitimate child and should not be included in the family tree, but the second queen, Elena's mother, felt that he was pitiful and took him to her side to raise, and because of this, he was eligible to be included in the family tree and become a real prince.

The second empress died of illness when Elena was ten years old, and the emperor has not married any empress since.

Louis was two years older than Elena, but he still sat behind Elena.

The emperor looked at his four children, his eyes were complicated, the heir of the empire will be selected among these four people, but he has not yet made a decision, the selection of the throne is not determined by age, but by personal talent and strength.

To be reasonable, Elena is stronger than the eldest prince in all aspects, she has reached the strength of the great sword master at a young age, and in time, she will definitely be able to enter the ranks of the sword saints, how many sword saints are there in the empire?

And she also has an extraordinary talent in military affairs, the dragoon is carried forward in her hands, and she can win against the orcs, and she also has an indispensable role in it.

The people of the empire also love and respect her, and no one is dissatisfied with Her Royal Highness's performance.

This is the reason why the eldest prince is obviously the eldest son but was not made the first heir in line, although he has no major faults in court politics, and even handled it very properly, but in terms of personal charm, he is 108,000 miles behind Elena, this world, after all, is decided by force.

What the emperor himself liked in his heart was actually the eldest prince, because he saw his own shadow in the eldest prince, and the eldest prince's mother and he have also been husband and wife for many years, growing up together since childhood, and have deep feelings. On the other hand, no matter how perfect Elena is, she is a woman after all, although there has been an empress in the empire, but it was produced as a last resort, and the emperor at that time had no son.

Moreover, the empress of that term, when her son reached the age of sixteen, immediately abdicated and gave up the throne to her son, and it was also the only emperor who left the throne without a natural death.

At present, he has three sons, and they are all very good, why does he have to hand over the throne to his daughter, women are always emotional, in case her future husband plots against him, and the country is good, wouldn't he have to give it to others? This is the biggest reason why the emperor does not want Elena to inherit the throne.

But none of these words can be put on the scene, and behind Elena stands her grandfather, General Bruce, the commander-in-chief of the Empire's strongest army, the Titan Legion.

This is also the reason why the emperor did not dare to make up his mind, the empire has been fighting with the orcs for so many years, and it has almost become an established national policy, one day not to eliminate the orcs, one day not to withdraw troops, this is a consensus of the whole country, by default, the emperor cannot change it, the importance of Bruce can be imagined.

There is no warmth in a family banquet, everyone has their own thoughts, even if the smile is sincere, no one can believe that the smile comes from the heart.

After eating, Elena left the palace and prepared to go back to her princess's mansion, "Elena!" Louis's voice came from behind her, and Elena stopped.

"Fourth brother, aren't you staying overnight tonight?" asked Elena, looking at Louis, who was walking towards her.

Louis accompanied Elena towards the outside of the palace, "I thought about it, let's go out, it's not far from where I live anyway." ”

"Thank you for sending me the news, I didn't expect that after so long, my father is still unwilling to give me trust. Elena said to Louis with a smile.

She was obviously smiling, but Louis couldn't stop chilling in his heart, and he didn't dare to look at her dark green eyes, "You're welcome, we are brother and sister, I won't help you, who will I help, but ...... I didn't expect you to come back so soon. ”

"Before receiving your news, I also received another news, the Suke family has obtained a potion that can improve people's strength without any obstacles, Fabre has rushed to the imperial capital, and my grandfather can't rush back, so I have to come back, do you know much about this matter?" Elena asked lightly.

Louis frowned, "I've heard of some, but I don't know much about it, right...... You can ask Raphael, he has a good relationship with Victor, he should know some insiders, the most important thing is that although he is from the eldest prince's side, his relationship with Fabre has always been not very good, maybe he will tell you something. ”

Elena walked out of the palace and stood on the city wall, looking at the lights of the outer city of the imperial capital in the distance, "I see. ”

"I want to stay alone for a while, fourth brother, you go back first. ”

After Louis left, Elena was stunned for a while, and the next second, she raised her hand, and a small magic array appeared in the air around her, and a black long sword was slowly drawn out by her.

There are still many red lines on the sword, which looks very domineering, holding the sword, the corners of Elena's mouth hooked up a smile, "Lin You...... Eight million bought a sword of the Sword Master, you are really rich, but I don't know, when you see this sword, you still recognize its original appearance. ”

"Dare to kill Fabre's son, huh...... Don't let me down......"
