Chapter 198: Mint Meat Pie

Dustin's meaning is obvious, Deanna had Matthew's child at the beginning, although God knows if the wild seed is our family's, but after all, she holds Matthew's will, nominally her child is the heir to the throne, I can manage the Burning Nation as the Prince Regent, until this heir does not appear after eighteen years, and then the enthronement ceremony will be held, and during this period, what is the difference between the prince and the king?

Although the whole world heard Finn claim in the temple that Deanna's wild seed was his, the old fellow repeatedly insisted that the queen had been slandered and framed, just as he knew the witches of the Vale. At the moment, the only person who can testify whether Deanna gave birth to a child before her death is Karma, and Karma was mistakenly killed by Brant, I really don't know if he was intentional or wrong. The two forces of the DPRK and China are holding each other, and they can't ignore both sides, which is really more annoying than when he was a prince before.

In Lowry's report, Vanessa instantly changed from an ambitious princess to a good girl who likes to inquire about her dietary preferences, which may be moved to tears by ordinary people, but in the palace, everyone knows that no one will have this superfluous kindness to care about others.

"Unless she wants to poison the food?" Terrence took a sip of the summer absinthe in his hand, frowning gratefully at the cold and bitter mouth, "it, I can't live in fear every day." He slammed the ivory cup on the stone table and made up his mind.

I won't be intimidated by anything, Dustin, Vanessa, and Crescent City.

At this time, the cancellation of the throne can only show that my heart is weak, I will not give the world a chance to accuse me, Dustin will always die before me, and I will never bow to him, isn't it just a few years, I have nothing to wait; And Vanessa, she was a beggar princess who had nothing, and only by clinging to herself would she have room to survive, thinking of this mysterious woman, Terrence couldn't help but squint her eyes, watching her solve the guards she sent with a snap of her fingers, believing that she was a veteran of the court for a long time, and if she could still be like a fish in water in the coming days, then she would definitely be able to benefit my rule.

At this moment, the door of the Long Night Hall was pushed open, and the Prince's close guard walked in, "Your Highness, Princess Vanessa asks to see you." ”

Terrence turned around and raised his hand gracefully, and Vanessa Shi Shiran, dressed in plain clothes, floated in. "Your Royal Highness," said the princess, holding a tray full of minced meat pies, which were full of aromatic aromas, "listen to my maid Lori, you like to eat minced meat pies the most, this is the result of four hours of hard work in the kitchen just now, please enjoy it." ”

"I like to eat it because I can use it for energy at any time during hunting and fighting, and I don't run around in my saddlebag." Terrence smiled and picked up a piece of meat pie, still hot, judging from the cut noodles of the dinner knife, there was not only meat in it, but also seemed to be mixed with green leaves, "We usually only fill meat pies with minced meat and onions, and the dough is as rough as a stone to bite, for which I don't know how many military cooks have been executed, but they just can't do it." Hmm, this one of yours looks much better, what's the spice in it? ”

"Star mint and andrographis." Vanessa replied slowly, "These two things are very expensive medicinal herbs in our Midsummer Country, but they can be found everywhere in the Burning Country, and some people still hoe them like weeds. ”

"It turns out that eating pie is secondary," Terrence took a bite of the meat pie, the aroma of the meat suddenly overflowed his lips and teeth, with a slightly bitter taste, and the magic juice mixed in between, it was really cool, "What do you want to say?" Clever guys? ”

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask the prince when he was going to send troops." Of course I hope you get out of here quickly, and now while you have not yet gained a firm foothold in the Burning Flame Country, and you are in a hurry to send troops to Crescent City, I just transferred my mercenary group to my side, step by step, like a bee nest, and when you conquer the whole world, I am sure to surprise you when you return.

"Even if I were to attack Crescent City, I wouldn't hand over the military power to you."

"Why?" Vanessa's face changed drastically, and she cried out, while praising herself in her heart for acting well, "You said you would seriously consider my request!" Besides, without my presence, how could Koman recognize the legitimacy of your sending troops? If you insist on going your own way, the dispatch of troops from the Burning Flame Kingdom will be considered shameless aggression, and such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be wasted by you! ”

"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood me," you're so shrewd, you can't have thought of this, Terrence stuffed his mouth with meat pie, "I won't send troops right away," he winked at the princess, "we're not married yet, we have to let me taste the fruits of this hard-won victory before deciding whether to send troops or not." ”

Vanessa's expression froze, "Then you can taste it, remember what I just said, star mint and andrographis, they were medicinal herbs in the land of midsummer, but when they arrived in the land of fire, they became weeds - even poisons." Star mint itself is non-toxic, but when it encounters animal fat at high temperatures, guess what? ”

Terrence's eyes widened and he looked at Vanessa in disbelief, "You poisoned?" ”

"Of course not," Vanessa instantly changed into a sweet smile, "just as you threatened me with Brant's safety, I'm just guessing, a reasonable guess." She calmly took a bite of the meat pie in her hand and ate it with relish, "We're even." From now on, I will play my part, I will be a good wife, a good queen, but first, I want a group of elite guards to protect myself, they must be selected from among the knights, neither the jesters who will shine the light of honesty that you forcibly assigned, nor the meticulous work from the country of Midsummer, Deanna's example, I don't want to repeat it in myself. ”

"You want to have a jousting tournament?" Terrence shook his head, the food in his mouth, his pronunciation blurred, "Don't even think about it." Two important members of the royal family have died in two months, and all entertainment activities have been stopped in Sleeping Dragon City, don't you know? ”

"It's just a joust." Vanessa insisted, "The major lords gathered in Sleeping Dragon City to mourn, and now they have just returned to the station, and the knights around them may not have gone far." ”

"Well, only in the small arena of the palace, the number of viewers must not exceed thirty." Terrence thought about it again and again, and finally gave in.

"Make sure you can count on two hands." Vanessa smirked.

Reina, are you ready? I'll get Terrence to sign the summons, and you'll kidnap those fool knights halfway as planned, and come to my council as they, and wait until those fools come to their senses, and it's too late.
