"You're finally back," Vanessa closed her eyes, letting tears slip down her eyes, "I thought you'd all be gone, Brandt, Andy, and you." ”

"You know I never will." Reina broke free from the princess's embrace slightly, blue eyes looking apologetically into Vanessa's face, "I saw it all in the mirror, he, forcing you to marry him." ”

"That's not a bad thing," Vanessa lowered her voice, "at least I can get people and stop looking like a homeless beggar princess." ”

"But I thought you'd marry Brandt," Rainer frowned, unable to speak, but not unhappy, "even Creon—"

"Because they're all good-looking?" Vanessa smiled as she walked over to Reina and poured two glasses of Summerlight Steamed Cider from the flask on the table, "You know I don't care about that. You also see the picture of Crescent City, my people are suffering, let me sit idly by, I can't do it. Besides, I can't watch them kill Ilia, she has to do with the fact that she has become the way she is now, and all the people closest to her have left her, which caused her to be extreme and tyrannical. ”

"I've always supported your decision." Reina lowered his gaze and stared at the princess's feet, he didn't take the wine handed over by Vanessa, but changed the subject, "I have been in contact with the mercenary group before I came, and they are still waiting for you, but it is still difficult to gather them all at once, you know, the mercenaries always hide their whereabouts in the city, so as not to give the lords a sense of threat." ”

"As I see," Vanessa smiled happily, "I'd rather marry you, and lo and behold, you already know what I want before I speak." The princess's smile lost the corner of Reina's eye, and he did not dare to look any more, and hurriedly turned his gaze to the candlelight on the table. Vanessa took his hand and said sincerely and emotionally, "Thank you." ”

"But how do we get them into the palace?" Reina frowned in embarrassment.

Vanessa raised her hand to smooth the archer's brows, "There's always a way," she said, glancing at the maid's bedchamber, "Prince Terrence won't treat me badly." ”

Reina walked softly to the door of the dormitory and slammed the doorknob, and the maid Lori stood behind the door with a look of surprise, and from her expression, it was not the first time she had eavesdropped here. Reina dragged the maid out from behind the door and slammed her on the ground, the maid shook her clothes and fought, begging for mercy, "I was woken up by your voice, I didn't want to eavesdrop, please don't kill me......"

"Get up, dear, I'm not Deanna." Vanessa said to her with a pleasant face, in fact, I was also threatening her in disguise, I was Deanna. "He's the head of my mercenary group, and we're discussing the matter of the guards around me, and you see, if you can help, I can't ask for it."

"But, but I'm just a maid, and I can't help much."

"Oh?" Vanessa shrugged, "That's a shame, how old are you?" Eighteen years old? ”

Of course, Lori understood this obvious intimidation, and couldn't help but tremble, sobbing, "No, don't kill me, I can help you, I will do whatever you say!" ”

Surrender so easily? Is Terrence so bad at choosing eyeliner? Vanessa paced back and forth in the room, stopping deliberately in front of Lowry, so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head, and every time the princess stopped, she shivered even more until Vanessa was sure that she really had no experience as a spy.

"What did you do in the palace before you were sent to serve me?" Vanessa picked up Lowry, patted her on the back gently, and saw the other party glaring at her in surprise, and hurriedly showed a harmless smile, "Don't be nervous, I'm not the evil queen before, believe me, no one will disappear in the scorching palace for no reason." ”

The maid's back shook suddenly, and her back muscles stiffened, and she stopped sobbing and answered the princess's questions intermittently, "I used to work in the kitchen, and I was also responsible for serving food for the king, and then I was sent to clean the guest rooms, and to wash the miscellaneous items for the lords from all over the country during the jousting tournament. ”

"I like jousting the tournament the most!" Vanessa clapped her hands and laughed, "When I was a child, I was so excited when I saw knights wearing armor and wielding spears! Tell me about the best of the warriors of the Flame Country, and what kind of battles they are good at? Vanessa pulled Lowry to the bed and winked at Reina, the archer remaining silent as ever, turning to melt into the darkness illuminated by the candlelight.

Terrence listened to Lowry's chatter, wondering how credible this maid's words were, was she tricked by Vanessa without knowing it?

"Is this what the princess asks you the most every day?" Terrence's ears were filled, "Has she ever met any special people, like, someone you don't know?" ”

"No," Lori shook her head decisively, she still remembered Vanessa's advice not to reveal Reina's appearance to Terrence, otherwise the prince would think that she had revealed her identity and would secretly execute her, "The princess just asked me what the prince likes to eat, and the legend of knights in the martial arts arena of the Burning Flame Country." ”

"Why does she care about what I like to eat," Terrence grasped the words, directing the maid's attention to where she wished.

"Probably, Princess Vanessa wants to cook food for you herself." Lowry stared at her frightened eyes, "Your Highness, oh no, Your Majesty, can I go?" Her Royal Highness is waiting for me to bring her rainbow wine, and she will be suspicious if she returns late. ”

I'm afraid you've been debunked by her. Terrence waved his hand impatiently and told her to leave.

There have been so many facts to worry about lately that the prince has not even had time to take a closer look at the princess of this summer country. Now, there is a new force in the government and the opposition, they not only oppose their own troops to liberate Crescent City, but also publicly express their hope that they will give up the throne, the number is not much, but they are all the ministers of the first king Matthew, and their words are very weighty, especially headed by Earl Dustin, the old earl is over eighty years old this year, born thin and withered, has served for three dynasties, and became an old minister in his grandfather's time, when Matthew died, Dustin was in the ice castle as a diplomatic envoy, in fact, it was to go to the country of ice to spend the summer, Now I hurried back just to persuade myself not to rush to the throne. Every time he thought of this, Terrence felt like a green-shelled olive was blocked in his throat, he couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't say it, why did this old guy not die in his eighties, and he came to fight against him.
