Chapter 3 The Imperial Expedition

A candle lit up the dark room, and with this light, Lindsay was writing at her desk. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info thin hand held the quill tightly, and the joints were white. Dick held her body and supported her. Looking at the contents of the paper, Dick's face was full of unbearable and painful looks.

Folding the written letter, Lindsay looked up at Dick: "Tomorrow morning, give this letter to Edith." Tell the Shadow Guard that if Edith comes to me, I'll stop it. From today onwards, I am not seeing him. ”

"Is that good? Are you sure ......," Dick picked up Lindsay, put her back on the bed, and covered her with a thin quilt.

“…… For me, for him, it's the best outcome...... Dick ......"

"I'm ......"

"I might ...... I can't be with you until the end......" Lindsay laughed dismally, Dick could no longer maintain his usual gentle face, bean-sized tears poured down, he knelt at the head of Lindsay's bed and choked silently: "Don't do this, Dick. Promise me that when I die, I will live well. ”

"You're going to be fine, you're going to be okay!! Don't say things like that, if you die, I'll follow you, I'm not going to leave you alone, don't make me make promises like that, you know, I'm not going to listen. ”

Lindsay looked at the ceiling and showed a beautiful smile: "I have you in this life...... It's so nice......"

As soon as it was dawn, Dick walked out of Lindsay's room. With a wave of his right hand, he summoned two shadow guards: "I want to go out on errands, and in the meantime, protect the princess, from today onwards, even the Duke of Edith will refuse to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The Shadow Guard dispersed, and Dick leaped out of the princess's mansion. Dick leaped between the rooftops of the houses with such speed that it was impossible to tell the difference, only to see a dark shadow flashing by, making people feel like a gust of wind passing by. Standing at the door of Etis's house, he knocked on the door. The door opened: "Dick? Edith was surprised: "You didn't stay by Lindsay's side, what are you doing here?" ”

Dick hesitated, not knowing what would happen to Edith when he saw it. However, this was the task given to him by Lindsay. Silently, he took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Edith: "The princess gave it to you, Lord Duke. The letter reached Edith, and Dick vanished from front of Edith as if he had never appeared.

Lindsay's letter to him? Edith opened the letter, looked at Lindsay's struggling pen, and saw that between the lines was Lindsay's full of reluctance and determination. Edith's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly held the stone pillar beside him: "Lindsay, a letter is like breaking off the relationship between us?" You dream, dream!! Edith bit his lip flap fiercely, and the skin of the lip flap was bitten, and the red blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, Edith stood firmly, shook his somewhat wooden head, and made up his mind in his heart.

In the evening, Edith returns to Lindsay's mansion. Unlike before, at this moment, Edith was surrounded by the shadow guards, making it impossible for him to move forward. Edith looked at the shadow guards with a grim face and said sharply, "What are you doing?!" ”

"Lord Duke, please go back. The princess refuses to see you! One of the shadow guards replied respectfully: "Please don't make it difficult for us people, if you insist on breaking in, we can only offend." ”

Edith snorted coldly: "Joke, you guys are not my opponent of Edith in martial arts, if you want to fight, come on!" Today, I must meet Lindsay. ”

The two sides are at a stalemate, and although the shadow guards are ready for battle, they don't dare to take action easily, after all, this is Lindsay's lover. Hurt him, Lindsay will not give up no matter how tough he is. Just as the shadow guards were helpless, Dick appeared in the middle of them, raised his hand and ordered, "Stand down!" ”

"Yes!" The crowd breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew from all directions.

"Dick, what do you mean, to let the shadow guard stop me." Edith looked at Dick with a pale face, and Dick shook his head helplessly: "The duty of our shadow guard is to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, and we only listen to the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess, don't you understand, Lord Duke, it is not me who ordered the shadow guard." ”

Edith almost fell to the ground, he endured the dizziness that hit him again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "Let me see her, I don't believe she will be so ruthless." ”

"Lord Duke......" Dick knelt in front of Edith, "You must know that Her Royal Highness the Princess made such a decision. You should know if she's right, and if you break in like that, it will make her even more miserable. I was by her side yesterday when she wrote this letter, do you think she writes easily?! What you're doing now is not to see her take her away, but to think about how you can help her regain power and heal her body. So, Lord Duke, please don't provoke Her Highness for the sake of Her Highness. ”

Edith froze in place, and after a long time, he weakly pulled out an ugly smile: "I understand, I'll just go." Tell Lindsay, don't want to leave me!! I'll figure it out about her! ”

"Dick thanked the Duke here."

The Royal Banquet Hall, a grand banquet was held. Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, and the top pianists and singers performed this performance with their whole bodies. The dancing girl danced beautifully and elegantly with the cheerful music, and the audience was attracted by this wonderful performance. Edith and several generals looked at everything in front of them with expressionless faces, and they were indignant in their hearts. Lindsay is dying, but they are here to pay no attention to Lindsay.

"Edith, come, princess Ben respects you." Modi staggered to Edith's side, holding his glass high and waiting for Edith's response. Edith glanced at Modi and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, I'm quitting drinking." Princess Modi, please take care of yourself! ”

Modi, who had originally come with anticipation, saw Edith's face flushed when he saw that Edith was so faceless, and his hand holding the cup trembled. A gloomy look flashed in his eyes: "Edith you!" ”

"Report! ~" Just as Modi was about to attack, a soldier suddenly shouted. Rodia frowned and waved his hand in displeasure, stopping the musicians, singers, and dancers: "What are you doing!?" ”

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! The envoys of the Duchy of Del beg to see you! ”

Everyone present was stunned for a moment and then began to whisper, and Rodia tapped his finger on the arm of the chair: "Del? Bender...... Ah~ It turned out to be a small country rich in Biling fruit~! ”

The ministers got Rodia's hint and finally remembered the country. On the map of the Eastern and Western continents, there are very few small countries like the Principality. Their survival depended on forming alliances with powerful neighbors, and entering the palace every year to ensure the safety of gold and silver specialties. The Duchy of Del is a special state located in the central part of the territory east of the Eastern and Western Continents. Each stepped on half of the eastern and western forces, and in order not to offend both sides, they had to form an alliance with the two empires. The country is rich, but the land is not large, but the land is fertile.

The Duchy of Del is rich in a fruit that, although single, has a fat flesh and a pure juice. The fruit exudes a charming and tranquil aroma, and there is a core in the fruit, which can be dried and milled to be used as medicine. It can be said to be the holy product of fruits. This fruit is not easy to cultivate, and only more than 1,000 can be harvested every year. The king of the Duchy of Del sent envoys to Lorrain and Bolt to sue for peace, and in addition to the jewels and gold, each brought Biling fruit for the royal family to taste. After several attempts, it was finally praised by various countries, and in this way, the Duchy of Del was stabilized.

"It's only the middle of the year, why did the Del envoy come? Bring him in! Rhodia ordered with a wave of his hand.

A voice was heard, and a middle-aged man with a disgraced and gray face hurriedly walked in from the door of the banquet hall. Seeing Rodia, he hurriedly bowed to the ground: "The envoy of Del greets Her Majesty." ”

"Well, the envoy has worked hard all the way. What are you doing here?" Rodiaza carefully examined the envoy from top to bottom, not to mention the dust, and the clothes he was wearing were still quite damaged. This left Rhodia and Modi confused.

"Your Majesty the Honorable Queen of Rodia, please save our Duchy of Del." After that, the envoy knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Modi and Rodia glanced at each other and asked suspiciously: "Get up and speak, as far as we know, the Principality of Del has no quarrel with the world and gets along well with the surrounding countries." You asked me for help this time? ”

The envoy hurriedly stopped kowtowing and raised his head to face Rodia. A look of horror: "It's Usain Bolt!" Usain Bolt broke the covenant without authorization and sent troops to the rescue, and asked Her Majesty to send troops to the rescue. ”

"Usain Bolt?" Modi smiled contemptuously: "Your Majesty, this Bolt's power is quite huge, why do you want to send troops?" Envoy, do you know the reason for sending troops? ”

"This ...... Alas, about a month ago, Bolt sent an envoy to my del. We are asked to hand over all the Biling fruits and tree species, as we all know that Biling is the foundation of our country. Losing it is simply tantamount to losing the country, how can His Majesty the King of my principality agree, a few words of discord angered the envoys of Bolt, and after they left, we didn't care. But unexpectedly, just half a month ago, the third prince of Bolt, Amos, led 100,000 elite soldiers to approach Idel. Your Majesty, please help us! ”

"Huh?! The reason for sending troops turned out to be fruit?! When Modi heard the reason for tearing up the covenant, he laughed contemptuously: "Your Majesty, Amos is nothing more than that." It was a big joke to go so far as to ask the allies for the sake of fruit. ”

Modi's words caused the ministers present to burst into laughter, and the envoy couldn't care about the embarrassment of being laughed at, and he had to plead with him: "Please ask Her Majesty the Queen to help us and let Her Highness the God of War help me through the difficulties." ”

Rodia's face froze, and her smile faded: "Hmph!! She slapped the arm of the chair heavily: "What, Lorraine can't win without the God of War?!" Okay, for the sake of Loraine and Del's friendship, this king will help you this time, this time Modi will lead 100,000 elite soldiers to meet him for a while! In addition, this king will also go with him~"

"What?! Royal Pilot?! The ministers' expressions changed suddenly, and Rodia nodded: "Yes~~ This king is going to go together, Edith~ This king orders you to go with us this time." Rodia squinted at Edith and the generals who had fought with Lindsay in Bolt's battle. Several generals and Edith read the distrust and contempt in Rodia's eyes, and everyone gritted their teeth secretly, the anger in their hearts almost instantaneous. They had all told Rodia about Amos's strength, but Rodia never listened, and ordered not to be alarmist in front of anyone. Therefore, they can only endure it. While forbearing, they questioned and became disheartened about the big country they had been guarding.

Hearing that Rhodia was so supportive of helping Del, Del's envoy kowtowed again and thanked him. With a word of flattery, Rodia decided to set off immediately......
