Chapter 312: Behind the Conspiracy
"I was suspicious of Creon, but I didn't expect it to be you." Vanessa ignored Muton, the clue he provided was always a masked man, so initially, her suspicions were always on Terrence and Creon. "It seems that you have learned to be good during these days in the Burning Nation."
"Hmph, that's all thanks to you!" Solanda glared at her sister viciously. She no longer had to pretend to be a female fighter mixed in with the Blood Lan Wei, her face had already regained a fierce expression, she had more scars on her body, but her muscles were more vigorous, and the skin that exposed her armor was like a rock under the sun, and on Haken Island, everyone's equipment came from the opponent she had killed. The better the equipment, the higher the status of the force. Solanda is known for her bravery, and her armor is particularly impressive. Glazed iron armor, a gold-plated round-headed sand rider scimitar, a gunasker dagger, a striped tiger skin, an emerald sphinage manticore's helmet, and an iron bow with deer tendons inlaid with obsidian.
Vanessa recognized the bow. Her pupils contracted as if they had met the midday sun, but her face remained unmoved, "I really don't understand what you went to such lengths to trick me into here. You must know that our country is on the verge of internal and external troubles. If you want to reclaim the throne, please prove that you are capable of being a queen; If you just want my life," Vanessa smiled wryly and looked at Muton beside her, "Just give the order." "I'll be back anyway, princess thought.
"It's not as simple as you think, fool." Solanda raised her chin at Muton, "Take her into my tent." ”
"Wait a minute," Muton paused, "I want to see my mother." ”
"Are you sure it's a good time? If I'm not mistaken," Vanessa shook her head, "your mother is now in the dungeons of the Burning Nation under the scorching lava. ”
"You really know everything." Solanda glared at her sister, someone stepped forward and dragged them into a white tent, it stood out in the other tents, with multicolored elf feathers standing on the spire, and three human skulls with their jaws cut off at the root of the feathers, which should have belonged to the owner of the previous tent, and the remnants of meat on it indicated that Solanda had not taken them down for a long time.
There was enough room for twenty men in the tent, and there were scraps of wine everywhere, and a dwarf stood in the doorway, roasting the meat of some kind of animal on the brazier, and he turned the curled chunks of meat with wooden tongs, and the spicy smell of the spice made the Duke's eyes ooze tears.
"Where's my mother?" Muton drew his sword at his waist and pointed at the only threat in the tent, Solanda.
"As she said, in the Land of Fire." Sorenda sat down in her chair covered in animal skins, not in the least interested in Mouton's threat, but rather interested in Vanessa's precise judgment, "How did you see through this?" ”
"The bow on your back." Vanessa nodded with her chin, "That's the bow hanging on the wall of Terrence's vault." "I was going to get it for Reina. The princess thought hatefully. "No one is allowed to touch it without Terrence's permission."
"So, you must have guessed that it was me and Terrence who manipulated this qiē behind your back." Solanda looked at her sister thoughtfully, "I can't see that you still have some strength, so it's okay to save me a lot of words." ”
Hmph, it's obvious that you lack wisdom, how can you afford such a strategy? Vanessa did not pronounce this sentence, but made a curtsy to express her wish to hear it.
"I heard you had a good fight in Crescent City," Solanda picked up an ivory wine glass from the low table in front of her, poured it, and found that there was no wine in it, and tossed it aside with interest, and picked up another, thankfully, there was some residual wine in this one, she poured the wine into her mouth, and swallowed it with a mouthful of roasted meat, "Where will it be, I think we all know it - I want you to take Winterfall and welcome me back as queen to continue as queen." ”
"It's such a coincidence, I just announced to the lords of the southern towns in Crescent City that I have stripped you of your title, and from now on, you no longer have anything to do with the Land of Midsummer." Vanessa glared at her sister, unable to find a rhetorical word to describe her brazenness.
"Things are always changing," Solandar looked at her sister mockingly, "this is the most valuable lesson I've learned in your Flame Palace." You know, your Prince of Terrence thinks I'm you, and he loves me in every way. ”
"You think he's really that stupid as you?" Vanessa finally couldn't help but tell the truth, "The first time, your first time, he has already seen through you. After that, every qiē is his bureau, he spoils you, just because you occupy my identity, and your identity as the princess of the country of midsummer also has use value, if you are disobedient, he will erase your savings like an ant! ”
"When you say that, you're just trying to drive a wedge between us." Solanda slammed the empty cup on the table, "Anyway, I have what you want, and you have to be obedient!" She lifted herself and drew a long sword from under her seat, the blade long and sharp as a razor, and the cold glow of magic gleamed in the light of the tent.
"Sword of Aconli!" Vanessa recognized it as Rogge's sword, indicating that her Blood Lanwei was in the other party's hand. It was almost inevitable, but it was the last thing the princess wanted, and Terrence wanted a double insurance policy that would keep the brave Sorenda dead set on him, and Vanessa, the likely future queen, firmly in the palm of her hand. "Terrence has really taught you all his life's skills!" Vanessa stared at the Sword of Ahallum and said through gritted teeth.
Solanda sheathed her sword proudly and continued to drink her wine, "The prince knows that he missed a move and failed to keep those two of your most beloved pets, but Blood Lanwei is more practical to you, and you won't see them guillotined." ”
"They are loyal to the Nation of Flames!" Vanessa said emotionally, "No one knows who I am, they joined the Blood Lanwei because of the royal palace's summons!" ”
"Oh yes?" Solanda looked her sister in the eye playfully, "What does that oath say, let me think:
"I swear in honor of a warrior:
From now on
Combine your sword with life
Dedicated to the princess of the middle of summer, Vanessa
I will pay regardless of the cost
Blood spared no expense
Under the leadership of the princess
Travel through a dark swamp
I swear to live and die
Strong enemy currently
Fearless
until life burns out
Blood-dyed red Sultan. ”
