"Forgive me for being bold," said Meese, "I guess he could be Terrence's illegitimate son?" ”

"At their age, probably not. Vanessa shook her head, "But there's another possibility - he's Terrence's brother!" It's no wonder that Julien and Mesti turned a blind eye to the matter, and in the previous conflict, even the former king Matthew maintained a tolerant attitude towards Lian and did not want to hurt him.

"An unknown hidden heir." The Great Magician chewed on the word meaningfully, "But it doesn't make sense, why didn't Yu Lian stop Deanna when she killed Matthew?" ”

"One possibility is that he wasn't in Sleeping Dragon City at the time, and the other possibility," Vanessa looked at Yu Lian's eyes growing darker, "Maybe we've all been deceived by his loyal appearance." She called Rogge to her and asked, "How far is it from the exit?" ”

"This is not the way we came," Knight Aherrius looked at Mees, "Lord Magician, please answer the Queen's question." ”

"This tunnel leads to the lower part of Sleeping Dragon City, which is the special passage used by York to connect with the Fire Dragon Village." Mees pointed to the stone wall in front of him, "Dark Heavy Oil can melt stones into various sizes, but York has never been able to penetrate the ground of the palace, which is why the royal family has always dared to compete with the Fire Dragon Village. However, this also caused us a certain difficulty, and we and Terrence did not know which one would go to the palace of Sleeping Dragon City first. ”

"And how did you get here?" Vanessa asked.

"I used the positioning belt that Reina gave me." Meese pointed to the belt around his waist, which was a magical item from Trent, and before leaving, Reina gave it to Mees, just in case, "Of course you can use it to get back to the palace quickly, but it can only teleport you alone." Without the protection of me and Xuelanwei, this move would be tantamount to throwing sheep into the wolves. ”

Vanessa frowned at the thought that Drax was still waiting for her outside the Sanctuary. "But I can't keep running away." The queen's eyes lit up at the thought of her only ally, "Take your belt with me, I have a way to reclaim the throne unscathed." ”

"You mean Reina?" Meese thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'm not sure how much he knows about the struggle for kingship, but judging from his origins, he may not be able to help you, on the contrary, his existence will have the most terrible impact on you once it is known to Terrence." ”

Vanessa was stunned when she heard this, yes, Terrence didn't know that Reina had come to the country of flames with him on this trip, thinking that he would stay by the side of Brant in the country of Midsummer, so for the entire country of flames, the queen did not have such an invisible fighter by her side, and now, if you want Reina to help her, he must be exposed to everyone's eyes, which is bound to cause unnecessary associations and speculations. For this Game of Thrones, Vanessa from the Land of Summer, you think too simply.

"Am I supposed to walk back to Sleeping Dragon City step by step?" Vanessa was a little furious, "Can I take back my throne if I keep doing nothing?" ”

"You have to go down." Rogge firmly held Vanessa, "Now, we have torn our faces with the imperial guards, and most of the Xuelanwei still don't know about it, if we don't rush back to Sleeping Dragon City, what awaits them is probably only to be slaughtered." ”

"I have an idea." Vanessa looked at the conveyor belt, "My waist isn't thick, if it's tied to Mees—" At this point, the archmage understood what she wanted to do, and automatically untied the belt and handed it over. Vanessa stretched the leather belt as long as she could, inserted the buckle into the farthest compartment, and then put it on her body and compared, "It should be able to teleport two very thin people." ”

"So what are you waiting for?" Mees slipped into the belt circle, and Vanessa thought about the back garden of the palace in Sleeping Dragon City, the halo of light flickered, and the light blue magic light changed from weak to strong, and then with a sizzle, the two of them disappeared into nothingness.

*********************************************

When approaching the royal city, it actually rained, which was a rare happy event in several years.

Vanessa wore the crown.

The bridgehead emerged in the torrential rain, like two tall ghosts, and as they approached, the yin qi gradually condensed and took shape.

There are two stone castles in Mianlong, which are separated on both sides of the Sleeping Lion River, like mirrors mirrored in pairs, connected by a huge stone arch bridge in the middle. In the center of the bridge is the Weihe Tower, under which the turbulent river flows. Moats were dug around the perimeter of the walls on both banks, turning the two castles into islands. At this time, the precipitation turned the moat into a long lake.

Through the rain, Vanessa found thousands of soldiers encamped under the eastern city on the other side of the river, and the flags hanging outside the tents were soaked with water and set up on poles, like many drowning cats, unable to see the colors and patterns. All she knew was that most of the flags were gray, and in fact, the whole world seemed to have turned gray since she left the royal city.

The first thing that happened was the clash between the Imperial Guards and the Selangor Guard. In terms of numbers, the imperial guards overwhelmingly occupied the upper hand, but fortunately, whenever Xue Lanwei couldn't resist, there were always some feather arrows shot from nowhere to help them tide over the difficulties, so Xue Lanwei still holds the control of the palace fortress. After the siege of the temple, Vanessa's Xue Lanwei got the news as soon as possible, and quickly took control of all the entrances and exits of the palace, and took the important ministers in the palace as hostages, so that the imperial guards did not dare to make up their minds to attack. They were also just as the queen thought, and they never took a step forward.

That's what Vanessa looked like when she showed up.

"Good." Vanessa hugged Reina and patted him on the shoulder, "Now I'm going to see what Terrence will do." ”

"But he still has your parents." Miskey, Meese said, "I'm sorry I couldn't figure out a way to get them out." ”

"There's no need for that. I gave Koeman the task of rescuing my parents, and if he didn't get his way, at least I didn't let them down. Vanessa said as she walked towards the council hall, "Push the ministers up the battlements, and every hour if Terrence wants to capture the royal city." ”

"But you'll annoy everyone in the Flame Country!" Reina persuaded.

"As long as I finally take the throne." Vanessa doesn't stop, "History is always written by the winning side. When the time comes, I can say that Terrence drove them to a dead end, and they voluntarily gave up their lives; Or simply pushed down by him. ”
