Chapter 106: Shrine
Seeing that they had landed, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut headed for the hill first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere is an obvious trail that leads directly to the mountain, so there is no fear of Dyce and them being lost.
The trail is made of white stone slabs one by one, and it is very clean, and there happens to be a person cleaning it on the road.
On the side of the road, pine trees and verdant bamboos rustle in the breeze. In this rustling, there is a young man in a white oriental costume sweeping the floor, and the rustling sound of sweeping the floor can still be heard in the distance.
"Hey, where's Beirut?"
"Sister Beirut has gone up."
"Then let's go up together."
After they had finished it, they found that Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut was no longer visible, and when they heard Anna's guidance, they walked together towards the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, Miss Anna suddenly said, "Sister Beirut is there." ”
Miss Anna looked in the direction of the roadside, where there was a relatively large pine tree.
Everyone followed Miss Anna's line of sight and stopped. Then sure enough, she saw Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut jumping out from behind the tree, and she was found and did not look unhappy.
"Little Anna, you are so cute, and your spiritual sense is so sensitive, you can find me there."
"Yes......"
"Because we see your clothes." Days rushed to say that he didn't want his sister's talent and bloodline to be exposed to outsiders again. Even if Beirut is not an outsider or a good person, after all, she is not in a closed environment now, and she may be overheard.
"That's right. Little Anna is really observant. Can I hug you? ”
Even so, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut is still praising Miss Anna.
Miss Anna hesitated, for the princess of Beirut had not made such a good impression on her at first. But after hesitating, she nodded: "Yes." ”
"Great," Her Royal Highness Princess Beirut walked up to Miss Anna, then crouched down, put her hands around little Anna, and took her into her arms, "Well, little Anna is so cute." ”
Miss Anna was prepared to deal with it with a kind of patience. But. Soon, her patience was beyond the limit. Because Miss Beirut seems to be so immersed in her own feelings, the strength in her hands is gradually increasing!
"Stop, Hold, Release, Open...... Save...... Destiny ......"
Such a hug from the princess of Beirut is for a dyce who is close to adulthood. It's okay. But for Miss Anna, who is only 10 years old. It's hard to accept.
It's not that Miss Anna doesn't have dragon blood, but Princess Beirut has dragon blood in her body. The Golden Dragon's bloodline also gives the princess of Beirut a variety of incredible bonuses.
"It's so soft, it's so soft, I want to melt you into my body—" Princess Beirut, who had turned a little blackened from being too immersed. Miss Anna's faint cry for help was not heard at all.
"Let go of your dirty hands!" Others may not know what to do, but Miss Amy has no scruples - it is her duty to protect Miss Anna. Seeing that Miss Anna's face was already flushed, and that she was making such an obvious plea for help, Miss Amy stepped out and tore the princess of Beirut away from Miss Anna.
When the Princess of Beirut was pulled away by Miss Amy, she tried to hug Miss Anna, but Miss Amy's face showed impatience and pushed her away with force, and Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut was pushed to the ground because she did not have her balance.
"It hurts!" Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut let out a cry of pain as she fell to the ground.
A black dagger suddenly appears and stabs Miss Amy's throat.
The tip of the dagger quickly enlarged in Miss Amy's eyes, but she was not flustered. Her left hand rose at incredible speed, trying to parry the dagger. Miss Amy, as always, wears silver armor. On her hands, there are protective gloves that can easily block attacks.
But as soon as the attack missed, it disappeared instantly.
Everyone didn't call assassins or anything like that, because everyone knew who was making the move.
However, even if you know, it doesn't mean that this person can really be reassured and a good person.
After Angelia, the girl in black, disappeared from Miss Amy's side, she instantly appeared next to Dyce and them, and pointed her dagger directly at Dyce's neck. What she meant was obvious, she was telling Miss Amy that she wasn't alone or that she was protecting Miss Anna.
It's not that Dyce doesn't want to dodge, but he can't dodge at all. Once again, he felt the sensation of being targeted by a ferocious beast that made him unable to move. The slight vindictive aura from the dagger alone had already covered his neck with goosebumps.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong just now." Princess Beirut was still sitting on the ground, her ass still hurting, and one of her eyes narrowed a little from the pain.
Although it is said that the royal family will teach etiquette, it seems that they have forgotten the content of how to maintain elegance when they suddenly fall on the butt - or this course is not taught by Her Royal Highness Princess Beirut at this time.
It's no wonder that the "lively" princess of Beirut is always in charge of important situations. After all, if you don't do it well, you will be blamed or someone will find out what is wrong in your body.
How will the matter of having two souls in the body be perceived?
Angelia, the girl in black, responded a little unwillingly with a "yes" and put away the dagger in her hand. She teleported to Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut, and then bent down to help the Princess of Beirut up.
"Are you alright, Beirut-senpai?"
"I'm fine, but is little Anna okay now?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut came to her senses at this time, and asked Miss Anna with concern.
Miss Anna was still panting for breath to replenish the oxygen she had just lacked. Hear the princess of Beirut saying her name, and then see the princess of Beirut looking at her. Immediately frightened, he hid behind Miss Amy like a timid rabbit, and after a long time he poked his head out, and saw Miss Beirut still looking at him with concern, and was too frightened to come out.
"Ah, oh no, things are getting worse." Princess Beirut now knew that her impression in Little Anna's mind was so bad that it was difficult to get it back, "That-let's go up, there's a shrine up there." We are actually the road back to the mountains. ”
At this time, Her Royal Highness the "lively" Princess of Beirut did not receive much elite education. I don't know what is best to do now, but it's always okay to change the subject.
Days stepped forward and gently hugged Miss Anna from behind. Miss Anna was so frightened that she almost jumped. But immediately turned around and hugged Dyce: "Brother." Can Anne still get married? ”
"Of course." Days doted on Miss Anna's blonde hair.
Prince Culbert, who finally arrived in the capital. At this time, his face was pale. In the morning, he received a book from the flying pigeon, which did not say anything. Just said, "If there is a sudden emergency, I hope His Highness will return quickly", the payment was a little sloppy, Prince Culbert thought it was written in a hurry, because it looked a bit like the handwriting of an old butler who had served him for many years, he believed it at the first time and did not have any doubts.
But after rushing to his mansion, he didn't see the old housekeeper waiting for him at the door for the first time, but saw him watering and cultivating his body in the garden. But at this time, strange is strange, Culbert is not angry, but anxiously asks what happened.
The old butler was so puzzled by the question that he almost fell to his knees because of Prince Culbert's hurried attitude. However, Prince Calbert, who has a fine bloodline, is not a man of low intelligence, and he quickly understands and asks if the old butler has not sent him a flying pigeon.
That is, someone is fraudulently claiming. Why would anyone do that? Prince Calbert thought of many possibilities, but none of them were likely.
It's not that he is the only prince in the empire now, he has several younger brothers. It's just that among his remaining younger brothers, either they are too young, or their IQ or EQ is very unbearable, or they are concubines with impure blood, and no one can compete with him for the throne at all. So, if someone wants to assassinate themselves...... Then it's time to do it on the way. Because the action was very hasty, the two high-level professionals who came back with him, as long as there was another master like his sister's side, it was not a sure thing to kill him.
So, although I dare not believe it, the answer is that simple.
There is an attempt to transfer Prince Culbert out of the castle of Her Royal Highness Princess Beirut.
So who and who has this motive. The biggest motive is, of course, the little blonde boy who looks honest, but he doesn't have the power to act. All his men were there that day, and no one could steal the pigeons in the palace and imitate the old butler's handwriting.
The only person who can do this can only be someone from the Zinael Empire.
Then, it's basically locked, and this matter was instructed by his sister. How powerful his sister is, Prince Culbert knows very well, if the princess of Beirut is a man, then the future of this country will definitely fall into her hands.
It's a pity that the Zinael Empire is not like other countries. In other countries, when there is no male descendant of the royal family or the descendant of the royal family, it is possible to consider allowing a female heir to inherit the country, and even some kingdoms do not care about gender at all. But this is not the case with the Zinael Empire, where it is customary to let men control the country, and for this, it is possible to put an heir who is not so pure in blood on the throne, and then let the female descendants of pure blood marry in marriage with it, and re-cultivate an heir with pure blood.
So, Princess of Beirut, there is no threat to Prince Culbert. He loved her, but she didn't like him. Although it is not explicitly stated, but that attitude ...... Prince Calbert, who has received an elite education, naturally knows that her estranged attitude actually shows this.
How to make his half-sister accept him, Prince Culbert is actually very nerve-wracking. Of course, this is also after the death of his elder brother, the eldest prince, Duke Leo, and he became the first in line to the throne. Originally, he didn't dare to pursue Princess Beirut at all, and he didn't dare to think about it, because Duke Leo was Princess Beirut's own brother, and he doted on her very much.
As for whether there are other ingredients in this doting, Prince Culbert does not know, and there is no need to know now.
"Damn." He clenched his fists, and now he hurried over, it was almost night, should he go? Maybe my sister and those guys will be back in the capital tomorrow...... Of course, it's also possible that they will never come back.
"Let's go, let's go back." Prince Culbert made the decision that he would not allow other males to appear around his sweetheart.
The mountain was a little high, and the person who was sweeping the floor on the road originally looked not far away, but as Days and the others moved forward, they found that it seemed to be much more difficult to close the distance between the two than expected.
When Days looked up at the young man in white for the eleventh time, Princess Beirut smiled and said, "There has been a spell cast here, and the spell has lengthened this road by eight times. ”
"Why 8 times, isn't more better?"
"Because, in our empire, 9 is a very sacred number, and it is generally only used by emperors. And the number 10 is a sign of perfection, there is a saying that 'the moon is short', we will not do such arrogant things. ”
"That's right." Days actually didn't understand, because it was two completely new concepts, in short, the conclusion was that 8 times was the most suitable, and the others were not suitable.
"Can I break the seal?" Her Royal Highness Princess Beirut asked loudly.
The white-clothed young man who was sweeping the floor on it raised his head and took a look. Then he ran up in a panic.
"Do we look like intruders?" Days smiled wryly.
"It's also possible that he went to inform the priest in charge here."
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in a strange but good-looking white dress with a high hat on his head appeared on it, and when he saw the princess of Beirut, he smiled on his face, and then reached out to make strange handprints.
I don't know what the handprint means, but it must be the way to break the seal, because then they reached the top of the mountain very quickly. When they reached the top of the mountain, the priest made another handprint.
"I didn't know that Her Royal Highness the princess had arrived, and I missed the welcome." He bowed slightly. The priests only had to bow down to the gods, so they didn't need to kneel to the royal family.
"It's okay, it's okay, we're just coming here to have fun." The princess of Beirut waved her hand without any arrogance.
The priest didn't show a strange expression, but just smiled: "If you have something, you can come to the main hall to find me, we are preparing for the evening festival." ”
"Festivals? Got an activity in the evening? So, there are a lot of food stalls here at night? ”
"That's right."
Following the priest's gaze, he saw that someone had already set up something near the entrance of the temple.
"Sister Princess Beirut~~~" There was a somewhat immature and crisp voice that sounded a little far away, and the voice seemed to be full of surprise. (To be continued.) )
