Warren sat in the palace study, his hands shaking. Since entering the Northland, the mission has been carrying messages through the Sparrowhawk. At first everything was fine, as usual. Then things started to take a turn for the worse, and it only took a few days for things to get out of hand. Luke, his cousin actually killed Ryan, how dare he?

Luke has a good reputation in the royal capital, although he has no courage, but he has the ability to argue. The character is not bad, and he can also act in moderation. What's going on? How did a simple trip to the Northland come to be like this?

How dare he? Ryan was his friend, his partner, his right-hand man, and died worthlessly.

Now that the Northlanders are coming out, and the Dragoons are coming out, what should I do?" Warren sat there in distress, his mind a little confused.

The events on the banks of the Perpetual River were the cause of everything, and the elite knights of the kingdom were killed and wounded in that battle, and the forces loyal to the royal family were devastated. The new family began to rise in power and gradually became dominant. Most of the big families now are the beneficiaries of that event. In the struggle for power, they hugged the group and squeezed out the dragon riders openly and secretly, and finally made this pillar of the kingdom completely away from the center of power. What were the ancestors thinking at that time? Warren thought about the royal records, but everything was vague.

Or was the dragoon already a threat to the kingdom back then? When the kingdom's power was greatly damaged, the ancestors took advantage of the trend. Now, we can only try to find a solution in the Northlanders. Ryan had always advised to maintain friendly relations with the Northlanders, and now that Ryan is dead, the man who made this suggestion is dead.

......

There is another piece of news, although not very good, but at least it has given Warren hope. Bran wasn't a fool, he was a completely normal child. Then, the royal family may be able to unite the Northland through marriage. Thinking of the marriage, Warren couldn't help but feel a sense of pride, his children are both outstanding, but they can be regarded as sensible.

A 10-year-old child, ruthless and vicious, very valued by the Northlanders, with his own attendants and luxurious mountain villas, and so on. Warren looked at the analysis of Bran and frowned slightly, this is not an easy object to manipulate. He had his daughter, Sophie, called. Then he put Bran's message in front of her, and waited quietly for his daughter to read it.

Sophie is 14 years old, and because of the environment, there are no too weak people here. Even if she is a member of the royal family, she still has to be trained in martial arts. Although he is not slender, he is tall and straight, and his short hair looks neat.

Sophie looked up and asked, "He's a wizard, so what are the abilities?"

"I don't know, the people who rounded up and tempted are dead. ”

"What about wizards who are used for peeping and observing? Sophie frowned.

Warren sighed: "It's all wasted." ”

"Why, what about the people we planted in the caravan, so many wizards, they must send back some useful news, right?"

Warren was a little helpless and explained: "The news says that the child Bran and his attendants have disappeared. ”

Sophie looked at her father carefully, and then said, "You want me to marry and control this child." ”

Looking at his daughter, who called Bran a child like a little adult, Warren laughed. Then a sourness came to my heart, and I really couldn't bear my daughter.

"Maybe you don't need to get married, but you have to observe again to see how much energy this child has. We are not those aristocrats, they just need a shelter. If we can, it's better to make a Northland woman a queen, and let the Northlanders completely stand on our side.

Don't despise this child, you can't control him. Observe more, and then become his friend. According to the intelligence, he is quite generous to his friends. ”

However, Sophie confidently replied, "I will definitely be able to master him, don't worry." ”

Warren sighed, and continued, "Your martial arts teacher, Ryan is dead. ”

"What!?" Sophie cried out in surprise. "The Northlanders killed him, I want revenge!"

"No, it was Luke who killed him. ”

"No way!" Ryan could hit him all over the ground with one hand. ”

"Luke first poisoned his water bladder and then cut off his head. People always ignore the dangers that come from around them, and you should remember this lesson. ”

"I'm going to kill him!" Sophie said through gritted teeth.

"Let's go down. Warren waved his hand.

......

Warren felt very powerless, the current kingdom was a mess, and he even wanted to leave it all and run away. He knew that he was not a qualified king, and he once wanted to be a great knight, thinking of leveling the four directions. In the end, he was forced to sit on this throne that he did not want to sit on at all.

Warren knew he wasn't a good person at handling domestic affairs, but in this position, he had to deal with these annoying things. Just as Warren felt sorry for himself, his eldest son, Taylor, barged in.

"You can't let your sister get married. Taylor spoke directly about his dissatisfaction.

"It's just to go and see first, it's not up to us to decide whether to marry or not. Warren felt more powerless.

"That's not going to work! We're royal. We are the masters of the land. ”

Warren looked up at his eldest son earnestly, when was the last time father and son had a conversation, who was in charge of teaching him, and he felt a terrible headache. He remembered that everything was arranged, how could such words come out of his own son's mouth?

Warren asked, "Who have you been studying with?"

Warren's question made Taylor's eyes a little evasive, and he didn't answer his father, but emphasized: "That's not important, you can't do this to my sister!"

Warren shook his head in annoyance, no need to ask. It must have been his wife who disrupted the arrangement, and this kind of thing has happened more than once. His wife was not from a noble family, and her mind has always been very simple. It was this simplicity that attracted him back then, allowing him to finally break through the obstacles.

By the time this simplicity gradually produces bitter fruits, it is already too late. She sees things too simply, like a pawn on a chessboard, and thinks that the king is the greatest, the queen is the greatest, and everything revolves around them.

He really regretted that he didn't listen to his parents' arrangements back then. Now, the queen can neither assist him in governing the country nor guide the children properly. And her family, a group of guys who have never seen the world, surrounds her every day and treats her as a sky. This group of stupid guys actually hit their eldest son with their own ideas.

He suddenly found that his son was hopeless. It made him a little out of breath, and he felt that everything was so unfair!

He waved his hand weakly, "You go out and call your brother in......"
