Terrence was stunned, he didn't expect the princess to be so happy, he looked back at the squires who followed him, although they were all knights, they were low-ranking knights closer to squires, only knightly qualifications, but never won their honor on the battlefield. In the court, such a knight had a very low status, not much stronger than a eunuch who cut the male roots.

The first young knight with fluffy blond hair falling like a waterfall over his shoulders was handsome, but it was clear that Vanessa was not referring to him; The second knight was stout, with a big beard, a rhizome-like red nose covered with cracked veins, and rough hands like ham, and his name was Geroni, a minor lord from the south, and Terrence couldn't even call his last name; The third knight was small, with a twisted smile, a fox face, a pointed nose, and a shaggy orange beard standing on end. Hood, a distant relative of Terrence.

"I divide the Xue Lan Wei into three teams," Vanessa finally regained the initiative, "The first team is under the command of the captain I have chosen, and the other two teams will be handed over to you," she turned directly to the two low-level knights who were eager to try without asking the prince's consent, "You are the most trustworthy people in the Burning Flame Country, I believe that the three guards of Xue Lan will be of the greatest effect under your command, right, dear?" The princess turned to Terrence and smiled like a flower.

"I don't know what you're up to in your cute brain, but I want to make it clear," Terrence lazily held out a finger and pointed at Reina behind Vanessa, "he must be incorporated into Cortrio's guard." The Prince's chin lifted and pointed at the fox-faced knight.

Vanessa's eyes jumped, and then she regained her calm, and of course, the light of that jump was like a drop of water submerged into the microwave, silent. This old hound has a keen sense of smell, and it seems that he has already penetrated my love affair with Reina, and if he does not agree to his request, he is afraid that Reina will become his next target. Thankfully, this is the opportunity to insert eyeliner. "I fully agree with your decision, Your Highness," Vanessa smiled and said, "Reina has done a great job in protecting me all the way to the Burning Nation, so please be your deputy by Lord Cortrio's side, and I hope that you will work together in the future to serve the Burning Nation." ”

Terrence then stood up satisfied, "I'm so glad to see my fiancée so understanding, and now, I beg your pardon for not being able to keep you company, my dear," he took Vanessa's hand and placed a wet kiss on the back of the princess's hand, "Have a great day." ”

They saluted the prince and watched him leave.

Vanessa glared at Terrence's slender back, and when he was gone, she gestured to Reina and Rogge, and turned with them down the viewing platform into the silver-white tent for the queen.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, how can you promise the Prince to put on something like the Forbidden Demon Stone for us?" Rogge was the first to speak, he spoke on behalf of the majority, and he also represented fairness and justice, but these were so small and powerless in the face of power.

Reina was silent, silently looking at the princess's face with her usual trusting eyes.

"I have no choice," Princess Midsummer spread out her hands like a strategist at this moment, "If I refuse, all our efforts will be in vain." ”

"The Prince clearly doesn't trust our motley guard, and I don't know what your efforts will be for." Rogge sighed, "But things may still turn around," the knight's brown eyes suddenly flashed, "We can't control the prince, but maybe we can try to control those two low-ranking knights." ”

"Why are those two low-level knights?" Vanessa didn't know what to do, "I thought the people who could follow Terrence were elite knights. ”

"It depends on what kind of position they hold," Rogge explained, "and in the court of the Burning Flames, the sword-bearer is higher than the seal-bearer, and the seal-bearer is higher than the pen-bearer, so that the key to the Forbidden Magic Stone should be kept by the porter—Geroni and Cortrio should be no higher in the palace than the eunuchs, and they may not have even been on the battlefield." ”

"Then arrange another joust," Reiner finally spoke, his eyes shining fiercely, "I promise that no orders will come out of their mouths." ”

Vanessa understood what the archers meant, but disagreed, "That's too obvious. Moreover," said the princess solemnly, "since they have been appointed by me as my guards, it is my duty to protect them, just as they are duty-bound to protect me; Even if these two people don't have my trust, I won't risk them losing their lives. ”

Rogge nodded, "That being said, it's always a matter of concern that our freedom and lives are in the hands of these two people, and if they ask the guards to be stationed in an area with magic, then one possibility is that all the guards are killed, and the other possibility is that all the troops disobey the military order, in short, we will be quite discouraged." ”

"The task can be delayed for a while," Vanessa raised a hand and rubbed her chin, a habit she developed when she became a man, "In the name that the new guards need to be familiar with the palace and court etiquette, they train in the arena every day, and I believe the prince will not ask too much." ”

"And after that?" Rogge still didn't know the bottom of his heart, "We always have to guard your side day and night, if you enter a room with magic and we can't enter, won't it put you in danger?" ”

"I didn't say that it would be delayed indefinitely," Vanessa had already thought of a countermeasure when she raised her head again, "As long as the prince ascends the throne, I will have a way to get rid of the forbidden magic stone in your hands." ”

"What's the solution?" Reina and Rogge asked in unison.

"According to the custom, when the new king ascends the throne, the lords and princes of all places will sacrifice their eldest son to the court to show their allegiance, and I will take this opportunity to control these two and make them have some scruples," Vanessa looked at Rogge and Reina and smiled slightly: "At that time, you can lift the forbidden magic stone at will and become the true commander of the three guards of Xuelan." ”

"But those two low-ranking knights are not worthy of sending their children to the court." Although nodding in praise, Rogge had to put forward his opinion, "They can't even prove their honor, perhaps, they haven't seen blood at all." ”

"They don't have to prove anything," Vanessa stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, and looked out along the edge of the tent at the two knights who were distributing the forbidden stones, they were so proud of the position of chief of the guard that they had accidentally picked up, and even walked with majesty and pride, the princess lowered the curtain and turned to her knights, "I will personally ask Terrence for the title for them, and all you have to do is put on a good show before then." ”

Reina and Rogge looked at each other and saluted, "I would like to listen to the princess." ”
