Chapter 21: Xia Nan
"Hah!" After being revealed, Tesz was not alarmed, but saw him easily shrug his shoulder, which had just been crushed by the sword, "You don't believe it? In fact, the prince was ready to find an opportunity to reveal his identity to His Majesty the King in private, and did not want to be discovered by this young general--Your Excellency Thresten, you must think that I have come here not only for the sake of Princess Lagersis by concealing my identity? It's a pity you thought wrong! β
"Your Highness Tezi, you said you came to ask for a kiss, but you pretended to be an envoy - don't you think it's too child's play?!" King Sarabont asked angrily, apparently not believing Tez's explanation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I don't believe it either, and I'm sure it's hard for everyone in this room to believe Terz's reasoning. It was thought that Tezi's courtship of King Sarabont was just a pretense, and that he had come for a more important purpose to conceal his identity, - to risk himself in the enemy camp as a hostile head of state just to ask for his wife? How is this possible?! If it is really a courtship, as Tesz plays, a messenger is enough, why come in person? But to say that there is a problem, and now that Tez has been revealed, it is indeed frankly surprising, in the end-?
"This prince also knows that if you don't explain it clearly, you won't believe it," Tez scratched his head helplessly, "After all, we have committed an irreparable mistake to your country, but our Tayek suing for peace and marriage are all true, how many people can believe it?" Therefore, the prince thought it better to come and apologize in person, but the ministers in the palace were all against it, and they were afraid that if they came, they would not be able to go backβnot that they did not believe in you, Your Majesty, but that no one could guarantee that your general would not find an opportunity to kill me," said Tezi, who smiled meaningfully at me, and when he saw that I was just glaring at him, he shrugged his shoulders boredly, and continued, "so I had to pretend to be an envoy, and prepare to find an opportunity to show my identity and sincerity to the king of Sarabont in private, and besides, there were some other selfish intentions. β
"Huh? What selfishness?! Sarabont asked, not as strong as it had been.
"Selfishness--I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not agree to this family business, so I want Your Majesty to see me for yourself Terz himself--This prince is still very confident in himself--Your Majesty, at least you don't think that Terz is a cowardly and cowardly person, right?" At this, Tesz smiled a little smugly.
"Yes! You dare to break into the enemy camp alone, you are indeed not a little bold, and you are also a promising crown prince in terms of your recent performance," Sarabunt nodded with a smile, and suddenly changed his words: "But you actually sent your father to the judgment seat of the church, and privately used the property of the treasury to show goodwill to the enemy country - do you think you will be able to ascend the throne smoothly after returning home?!" β
Tez was stunned for a moment, and then showed that signature smile again: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, I believe that the intelligence agencies around you know more about it - my father has been bewitched by the demons for several years, and he only knows how to extort tyranny from the people, and he has long lost the support of the people, and the prince only used the money in his father's inner treasury after overthrowing his father and queen, and the extra money was originally planned to be distributed to the people after returning to China, and it was too late for the people to thank him!" β
"Humph!" Sarabont snorted, his face darkened so that he couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind.
Tez obviously didn't understand, and was really stunned when he saw Sarabont suddenly turn around, but then he bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty King Sarabont, I wonder if you are satisfied with me, the crown prince of the enemy country?" Would you like to marry Her Royal Highness Princess Lagersis to me Tez? β
Sarabont looked at Tez coldly: "Crown Prince Tez, this king has read countless people, but this is the first time I have seen you like this!" β
"Are you satisfied?"
"Either you're a saint, orβ" Sarabonte paused, his eyes suddenly shining, "or you're a viper!" β
"Whether you think I'm a saint or a viper depends on your majesty," Tez maintained a respectful posture, "but this prince would like to take a step further in making you think I'm a saint - Your Majesty, the head of your beloved Fire Cavalry, General Gattes, is now outside the door!" β
βοΌβ Everyone was shocked when they heard the news, and Tina couldn't help but rush out the door.
"It's a pity that Gatus was too badly injured in the Plains of Shaylis, so I would have brought him in directly," Tesz sighed sadly, "Fortunately, General Gatus has a strong vitality, so now he just needs to recuperate and recover." β
ββ¦β¦β
"I just want to show my sincerity, Your Majesty, ......"
Sarabont waved his hand, and his tone became much kinder: "Well, thank you, Your Highness, as for the matter of harmony, I believe you also know that Princess Lagersis is my cherished daughter, you should let this king think about it!" β
"This is natural!" Tez nodded, "Your Majesty, please think carefully about this good thing that is in the great interests of both countries, and of course I hope to return home with Princess Lagersis and the army in three days." β
"Bastard! Are you threatening me? β
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Tez bowed to the end, "I lost my words, please forgive your majesty!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Well...... Then, what this prince should do has been done, if Your Majesty has nothing to ask for, please allow me to retire!" β

"Sakura, how's it going?" Looking at Sakura, who hurried back from the Imperial City, I asked.
"I haven't seen the princess," Sakura shook her head in frustration, "the palace gate can't be entered, and it is said that the princess is locked up." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Lacey, the princess really wants to ......" Rusya beside her looked sad.
"I can't refuse - a princess for a country, whether it is the military or the political circles, must think that this deal is very cost-effective, right?" Asa, who was drinking with us, said, "And the king of Sarabont will agree too, right?" β
"The princess is the king's daughterβ" Sakura looked very sad, "can the king really bear to marry his daughter into a barbarian country?" β
"But she's also a princess, and sooner or later she'll have to marry for the good of the countryβdamn it! It turned out to be in such a way! "I slammed my fist on the table.
"But is she, princess, willing? Princess, she didn't ...... to Lacey a long time ago," Rusya muttered quietly.
I sighed and patted Rusya's head: "If you don't want to, you can't do itβmarriage is not something that princesses can decide." β
"Poor princess, after trying so long butβ" Sakura asked, "Lacey, is there no other way?" β
"No," I shook my head, "there's really nothing I can do nowβ"
During the conversation, a sudden sound of the piano sounded, followed by a melodious singing voice drifting in from outside the door.
"I've been trying, but I can't get it; prayed with all his heart, but could not have it; Hesitating, where did he star? Ah--you man who has everything~ Where will your heart go? β
It's a familiar singing voice.
"Ah~ the sustenance of the soul, the solace of the soul, the lover I haven't seen for many years~Lover~" The door was opened, and Chanan, dressed as a bard, and Sylvia, the dancer who accompanied her, walked in lightly, "Ah~ The swordsman I love deeply~Ah~ My dear Thresten! - Oops! β
I unceremoniously kicked Xia Nan, who was about to hug me passionately while singing: "Get out!" Less boring here! β
"Ouch-" Xia Nan snorted and was helped up by Sylvia, "Lacey, what are you doing?" ββYou won't hug me if you haven't seen each other for so long? β
"Brother......" Asa sighed on the side, "The red-eyed one is not happy now, aren't you looking for a fight?" β
"But he doesn't ask me what I'm doing here?" Shana gave me a smirked look, and then glanced at Sylvia, seeing that they were about to sing again-
"Can you be a normal prince if you're a pervert?!" I kicked Xia Nan again, "There must be something wrong with you guys coming here all of a sudden, and it's about me and Laxis, right?" If you want to say it quickly, let me out if you don't say it! ββMaster Ben is not interested in being played by you! β
"Lacey!" Sakura knocked me on the head dissatisfied, "Xia Nan must have come for you, can't you be polite?" β
"You're welcome? What's so polite with this pervert?! If you are kind to him, it is estimated that you will not get down to business if you are played for a day! β
"Hahahaha!" Sylvia couldn't help but laugh, "Lord Xianan, Little Reis seems to have seen you through - even the way to deal with it is ready. β
"Hey......" Xia Nan sighed, shook his head and said to himself, "So I hate talking to smart people." After speaking, he opened the book in his hand again, "Lacey, in fact, we are here to see you today." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Of course, I want to make some notes by the way," Xia Nan picked up the pen again-
I continued to look at him coldly.
"Hey...... It's not fun, Lacey, you can't cooperate?! Xia Nan complained, and finally gave up joking, "Let my intentions go for a while, Lacey you should have a lot of questions about me, right?" Again, your answer determines my future words~"
"Verbal bargaining? I like it," I took a sip from the cup on the table, and then asked unceremoniously, "First, how do you know that the two countries are going to war?" β
"Rely on the divination of the Holy Wind * Hulibel."
"How did you happen to be here at this time?"
"Rely on the divination of the Holy Wind * Hulibel."
I resisted the urge to punch him: "Then what does my dream mean?" β
"Huh? Your dreams? How do I know what your dream is? β
"Xia Nan!" I've endured to the limit, "I'm going to kill you!" β
"Wow! Reis, what are you angry about! Asa! Hurry up and do my brother a favor! Xia Nanwei screamed and jumped to the side, and then Asa waved his right hand, and my body, which was already angry and out of control, was immediately fixed by the ice.
"Asa?! What the?! I yelled, "Let me go!" β
"Red-eyed, calm down!" Asa said to me while stopping Rusya, who was trying to save me, "Is it useful for you to get angry with that pervert?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Hey, Lacey, listen!" Xia Nan put the book in his hand to my ear, "You can understand if you listen to it." β
"What can a book hear?! - Huh? "Unexpectedly, I heard a noisy slashing sound from the book in my ear, although it was not clear, but it was clearly the sound of fighting on the battlefield." It'sβ" I looked at Xia Nan suspiciously.
"Now you see, right?" Xia Nan made a gesture to Asa to disenchant the magic, "I said earlier, the Holy Wind * Hulibel can be used for divination, in fact, it can not only guide the direction, its greatest function is to transmit soundsβsounds across time and space. β
"Could this be justβ"
Xia Nan nodded: "En! Two years ago, I heard a voice that foreshadowed two years from now - the sound of the battlefield of the Battle of the Plains of Shailith! β
"Then why didn't you inform us earlier?!"
"Hear it for yourself! Can you tell what it is?! Xia Nan slammed my head on the edge of the ice that had not yet melted, "I just knew that in two years there would be a war on the Plains of Shaylis!" Maybe I'm not magically strong enough - only occasionally can I hear clearly! β
ββ¦β¦β
"So I'm going to be here at this time, understand?! As for the dream you are talking about - what is it exactly? If you're sure it's not your own random dream! β
I simply told the dream that I thought was Xia Nan's warning.
"That's not really my warning!" Xia Nan scratched his head suspiciously, and said uncertainly, "But since it is as true as you say, maybe it is a warning from me in the future?" β
"The future you?"
"After all, the message of the Holy Wind * Hulibel can be transmitted beyond space and time - theoretically, I can certainly use the Holy Wind * Hulibel to convey the words to the present."
ββ¦β¦β
"That's it! Don't think about this, since it's to warn Lacey, you should pay more attention," Xia Nan sat back at the table and opened the book in his hand again, "I've already answered Lacey's question, now it's time for Lacey to answer me-Miss Sakura, can we be alone with Lacey?" Natsunan looked at Sakura with an inquiring look.
Sakura nodded, leaving the room with Asa and Rusya, carefully closing the door.
"It's so mysterious again!" I looked at the bastard in front of me and grumbled.
He and I both know that the explanation just now is nothing more than prevarication, and although it seems very reasonable, it cannot be ruled out that these so-called explanations themselves are made by Xia Nan with magic, but I know that there is no point in dwelling on it any longer, there is no real result at all, and realistically I want to know more about what this bastard wants to do - if only I could help Lagersis.
"I know what happened lately - don't wonder how I know, I'm a court musician! Ha! Shanan took a sip of the wine Sylvia handed her, "Lacey, do you like Princess Lagers?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't answer? It seems that I liked it. Xia Nan picked up the pen and wrote earnestly in the book, "Se... Thunder... This... Ting likes to pull... Case... West... Silk. β
"What are you doing?" I couldn't help but angrily say again, "What are you doing with this?!" Sick?! β
"Is Channan-sama a bard?" Sylvia on the side explained to Shanan, "It's the bard's duty to find those heroes and tell their stories~"
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't worry, I don't think you're a hero, I just want to use you as a prototype - don't be sad!" Xia Nan said.
I certainly didn't think of myself as a hero - but it was a bit of a bad feeling to be told that by that bastard.
"Okay, second question, aren't you happy right now?"
"Nonsense!"
"Is it because of Laxis?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Little Lacey," Sylvia interjected, "don't you think this marriage is perfect?" The young and promising Crown Prince Tez is about to ascend the throne, he is honest and deeply loved by the people, Lagersis is the imperial concubine when she marries, and she will be the queen in the future, even if she doesn't think about politics or anything, it is the best destination for Princess Lagersis - if it were me, I would like it~"
"Ah~ Then you should marry it!" Xia Nan hurriedly interjected.
"It's dead~" Sylvia said coquettishly in a sweet and greasy voice, "Lord Xianan, are you willing to do it?" β
I don't have time to deal with these two perverted flirts, but I have to admit that Sylvia is right.
Indeed, perhaps there is no better place for Laxis to go home.
- If Tesz really is as upright as he seems.
