"Miss Agnes, the lord has called you over!" Hearing the maid's summons, Agnes raised her head and placed the "Footprints of the God of Light" in her hand on the table, these beautiful verses calmed her mind a little, and she got up and left her small room, as the adopted daughter of the Adrian family, although the Celtic lords did not discriminate her upbringing, but as she grew older, she became more and more aware of her identity and status.

The fortress of Eagle City stood on the cliffs of the Bay of Courage, and the corridor leading to the hall was built by the sea, and Agnes stopped, and the waves were constantly churning in the distance, and the sky was overcast and cloudy, and the cold sea breeze kept blowing her long hair like a dancing flame, and the loose gray robe was tied around the waist, and the outer garment was tied with a wide ribbon, and her own pure gold dagger hung on it, and the cold wind made her shiver constantly, but she didn't want to leave in such a hurry, For the rest of the road was through the warmest side hall of the castle, where there were four large fireplaces with roaring flames, and two of the guys she hated.

"Look, who's coming?" The aristocratic young man who asked the question reclined on the velvet chair by the fireplace, wearing only a black fine satin shirt, a coat and a slender silver sword placed casually on the ground, he shook the glass in his hand, the dark red liquid was like a flowing ruby in the firelight, the black clothes and black hair made his face even paler, and his slender eyes seemed to be smiling. "Egnes, my dear sister, will you finally come to our party?"

"Tut-tut, then we need to hurry up and prepare some cat food, Egnes, what kind of flavor do you like?" As Bertram's twin sister, Melissa's equally pale face made Agnes feel even more disgusted, her long black shiny hair like a waterfall was pulled up today because of a small party, and her elven-style silver hairpin, painted a faint red above the corners of her eyes, including her black and red dress, made Agnes extremely disgusted.

Several of the nobles around him, who were also dressed in fancy clothes, laughed, raised their glasses, and discussed going out to sea in the spring, in celebration of Bertreum and Melissa's twentieth birthday, "Ah! Miss Agnes must come too! "I'm a good angler, and I'm sure I'll catch fresh herring for you." The crowd burst into laughter again.

Agnes didn't say a word, and continued to walk towards the hall, she had been here since she was very young, she had long been used to it, except for them, everyone else was still good, and she also had some very good friends, but as she got older, the Celtic Lord had other arrangements for her, including the matter of tracking down the bloodline of Lannoth.

"Wait," Bertreum chased after him, grabbing Agnes' arm, "I don't know what my father is arranged, but please be careful, since you came back, the whole Eagle City has been full of griffon spies and eyeliners, and I don't want our Adrian family to end up with the Lannos family!" And that wizard, don't think I don't know, he's been teaching you magic, and I advise you to stay away from him! ”

As the heir of Eagle City, Bertreum was even appointed by the regent Theodore as the garrison commander of the entire Eagle City, in addition to not being very friendly and always using a playful tone, he actually seems calm and capable, and to some extent shrewd, which is inherited from Celtic, after the Leo family settled in Athexia, Celt couldn't help but keep Eagle City, the entire north was saved from war, and even made his son the garrison commander, which is difficult to do in other cities on the mainland.

"We are all working hard for the whole family, and we must carry out the arrangements of the lord, so please do your own thing, Your Highness Bertreme." Agnes withdrew her arm and said coldly.

"At this time, my father shouldn't do too much to cause danger! What we have to do is to make adequate preparations, expand the army, and make weapons, what bullshit relics are just legends! Lannos's bloodline has long been broken! Bertreum stood in Agnes' way and continued.

Agnes smiled, "I'm already late!" ”

Bertlem retreated to the fireplace, he continued to raise his glass, and began to chat with the crowd, Celt told her more than once that the brother and sister needed to be well trained, except for Bertram, who fantasized that he would one day be able to dominate the world, the circle established by Melissa had already infiltrated Atlasia, and even Silvermoon City.

After turning a few more corridors, Agnes pushed open the door of the hall, the usual guards and castle officials were not there at the moment, Celtic was waiting for her alone, and when he saw Agnes come in, he stood up, stretched his frown, and began to smile, "Come, come to the fireplace, this damn weather, it looks like it's going to start snowing again." ”

The lord of Eagle City was not yet forty years old, the youngest of all the castle lords, and he had become the leader of the entire Adrian family very early, the dark golden robes glittered in the firelight, the long black hair that was also the family's signature was tied back of his head, and his face was not wrinkled, although he was young, but in the north, no one doubted his ability to rule, even if he had never taken up a weapon, not even any short sword, Agnes's pure gold dagger, which he had given to her as soon as he got it from the dwarves.

"Theodore's men are almost at the Rust Garrison, the last time they returned in vain in the Whispering Forest, this time they went with Jerome, in addition to hundreds of cavalry, there is also a mage, the guy who attacked you! Presumably, he's really hiding there now," Celt frowned, "I'm afraid that they already know Bibo's identity, and I'm afraid that the Flaming Stone will also fall into the hands of the Leo family." ”

Agnes's heart trembled, she was anxious all winter, first, she didn't know Bibo's whereabouts, and secondly, she couldn't leave Eagle City, and after Tayban fled, Celtic didn't allow her to go out of the city again, and the Leo family had closely monitored their every move.

"I wish he was clever enough to escape from danger!" Celtic mused, "Like you said, we have to choose to trust him, and the people of Rust will take care of him!" Taiban has already rushed over to look for him, but he has to go to the north of the Secret Whisper Forest to deal with some other things, if there is news, let's make plans again, after all, there are a lot of things going on now, and besides, if you don't go to the Temple of Light, no one can really determine the authenticity of the bloodline and holy relics. ”

"I've heard it too, there was news before, in Sunset Town, the westernmost part of the continent, and even near the silver stream near the Blade of Lanos, some people say that they have met the descendants of Lannos, the real king!" Agnes stretched out her hand and approached the fire, and the warm feeling instantly spread from her fingers to her whole body, "Danger is coming, and the continent is full of rumors of looking forward to heroes. ”

"There's not much we can do, and Athasia," Celt said, "The city garrison has clashed with Theodore's men, the garrison commander is imprisoned, and more and more people will be dissatisfied with the regent, as you said, danger is coming." ”

"Bertram ......" Agnes was about to speak, but Celt interrupted her with a smile, "I never told him, and only you and I know about it, your mission is different, including Melissa, you are all my favorite children, I know they are not very friendly to you, but my daughter, please understand, after all, their mother died a long time ago." And the fate and glory of the entire family will be continued by us, and each of us will have to make our own efforts and sacrifices. ”

"I understand, Father! You are loved for saving everyone from the scourge of war," Agnes sighed, "so what should we do now?" ”

"Wait! My daughter! "Like our family crest, we soar through the skies, keeping an eye on our prey, waiting for the best time, and before Tayban returns, or before Bibo gets here, I need you to do something!" ”

"Yes, Father!" A new mission is better than sitting in her room every day, and Agnes thinks it would be better if she could go out or go a little further west, maybe she would be able to help Bibo.

"Well, it's still more difficult for her to deal with Melissa alone!" The Lord of Eagle City said, "At least until Taiban returns, if Lennoth's bloodline can get here smoothly." ”

When she passed by the side hall on her return, the twin siblings of Eagle City were no longer there, and the attendants were cleaning up the leftover snack plates and wine glasses, and Agnes knew that Melissa had always been keen to make friends with the nobles of various families, the officers and knights of the kingdom, and some merchants engaged in various trade activities, many of whom wanted to climb the ancient glory of the Adrian family.

Agnes didn't stay in the open air, the sky was getting darker and darker, the waves continued to crash against the cliffs, and the distance was already hazy, she walked quickly through the corridor, wanting to get back to her room as quickly as possible, compared to what the Lord of Eagle City had just arranged, Agnes preferred to go to the underground mines, even the dwarven mines deep into the center of the earth, of course, it was better to be able to travel with Taiban to the interesting places on various continents like in previous years.

Thinking of Bibo, Agnes couldn't help but worry, Sam's tragic death still makes her difficult to let go, every time she thinks about it, she will face the west and pray silently every morning, hoping that the god of light can protect this boy with the blood of kings, and similarly, she will silently pray that the Adrian family can protect this flame of hope, she also knows that the whole family is facing not only the upcoming war but also the powerful rival Leo family Griffon, "Just a few of us?" Thinking of this, Agnes couldn't help but laugh, "Well, in that case, then come on!" ”

Agnes opened the door and found that the fireplace was extinguished, and she picked up a pinch of fiery powder from the pouch around her waist, and after the spell was finished, the fireplace rekindled, "What a trick! The sudden sound startled Agnes, and she turned around to find Melissa sitting in her seat, looking at the book "Footprints of the God of Light" with a sly smile.

"My blood is only for the light, and under the flames, the demons have nowhere to hide, and they are gone," Melissa beckoned to Agnes after reading a sentence from the book, "Come, Sister Cat, let's talk about how to make them appear in their original form." ”
