Chapter 109: Turning the Eye
Renault died after all, and Jarvis, pretending to be grief and indignation, vowed to set foot on the Seven Cities of the East China Sea, but he did not have the slightest intention of sending troops.
Although Renault has only been on the throne for a short time, he is also the emperor recognized by the church, so he naturally has to be treated according to the state funeral, but the sinister Jarvis has always looked down on Renault and thinks that he is not worthy of the treatment of the state funeral, so the state funeral ceremony was held normally, but the gold-inlaid coffin was completely empty, and Renault's miserable body had long been thrown into the river by him.
Renault, who did not have a single intact piece of skin, looked terrible before he died, and now he was stripped naked and thrown into the river, and the people along the river were afraid that they would be so frightened that they could not sleep for three days at the sight of this corpse.
"Renaud is dead, and the magic you put on him is gone, isn't it?" Hurrying to bury the empty coffin, Jarvis began to worry about the corpse again, because in Ola, many unclaimed corpses were handed over to the church to dispose of, and the church's favorite thing was these horrible corpses, and then traced them down as an example of warning the world not to touch the devil, so he was worried that the priest wearing the broken magic stone would find something after picking up the corpse.
Seeing that the woman didn't speak, Yalvis breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." ”
"Renault" had just been buried, and Yalvis immediately put Mira on the throne, pretending to resign, and appointing himself as the regent and acting for the government.
Mira knew very well what she was going through, and she didn't like it, but her vain mother, who cried and begged her not to refuse, put on her rich clothes, sat on the throne for a day, and then returned to the harem to continue to trace the picture that could never be finished.
In fact, her heart is not as indifferent as it seems on the surface, she really wants to find the sister who she has added out of thin air, because she heard that she is a witch, so it should be easy to accept herself, right?
It's just that her mother hasn't come to an end yet, and when her end comes, she can leave here.
Due to the lag in the spread of information in this era, the new emperor has ascended the throne, but the Eastern Army has been defeated, and the news of the emergence of the new crown prince has just reached Icefield City.
"Sister?" the news came through the confiscated merchants, which surprised Rafa, who was assembling a second howitzer.
"Yes, according to the merchant, it has been spread throughout the city of Kosol, and everyone is talking about it, and it should be true. Audrey replied truthfully.
"The Eastern Army was defeated, Renault was seriously injured and dying, and now there is another crown prince, heh..."He shook his head and chuckled, "Fili, has Jarvis always been so insidious?"
"No, in my memory, he was just a reckless and arrogant fool. "Felihill was writing something on paper with a pen, and Rafa couldn't do magic when she was in the backyard, so every time Rafa saw her, she was either in front of the microscope or writing.
"I said yes, remember three days before our engagement? Jarvis invited me to the Hyperion manor, poisoned my food, and then wanted to throw me into the wilderness, oh, how could such a stupid man have such a plan?"
"And such a thing?" Philicille frowned slightly, it was the first time she had heard of it.
"It's true. Audair replied, remembering very well that it was that night that Rafa seemed to be a different person overnight.
"However, it cannot be denied that it was Archduke Hyperion who was behind the scenes. Rafa made a speculation.
"No, in the Hyperion family, no one is so bold, they will only engage in some means such as sending money and women, and they will never dare to think of such an idea as controlling the government. "Philicille looked down on Hyperion.
"Oh, who else is behind the scenes?"
"I don't know, maybe it's not impossible that the witch controlled him. ”
"Forget it, how about love, as long as you don't mess with us, whoever you love to be the emperor will be. Rafa said as he put the heavy parts together.
"And what about that sister of yours, even if she becomes an empress in the future, she is still a puppet empress, and you are not going to save her?" asked Felihill.
"Help? Maybe she's happy to be the empress......? The ugly duckling has suddenly become a swan with wings spread high, and who wants to go back to rolling in the muddy pond again?"
"Not everyone is what you think they are. ”
"But most people are like that, let alone being an emperor, just like the civilian officials we just recruited, accustomed to commanding, if you let him do the work of a farmer again, is he still willing?"
"I don't deny that there is some truth in your words, but she is your sister and does not belong to the majority. Felihill frowned, and the volume was slightly louder.
"All of us are ordinary people, no one is special, we just try our best to find our place in this world, maybe Mira really thinks that the throne should be hers. ”
"You haven't met her again, how do you know she must like that position?"
"Ha, the child born to a palace girl who was kicked out of the palace, must have had many misfortunes in her childhood, and now she suddenly sits on the throne, what else does she have to complain about? Even if the power does not belong to her, the fine clothes and jade food are enough for her to enjoy. ”
"Is this what an older brother should think?"
"I ......" Rafa wanted to retort, but thinking that Felihill had such a stupid brother, and her idea might be to let herself not be like Yalvis, she immediately compromised, "Okay, Fili, then what do you say I should do." ”
"Go to Byron. ”
"Huh?" Rafa was stunned, unable to believe that this was Felihill's suggestion.
"Go as soon as you take the city of Kosol, and I'll be with you. ”
Not only Rafa was stunned, but even the witches who were working around were stunned, they didn't expect the two to come up with such a solution after talking to each other for a long time.
"This ......" Rafa still didn't react.
"Don't you want to know what kind of witch I am? Felihill tilted her head slightly as if teasing.
"Fili, that's not the point at all," Rafa put down the parts and sat down face-to-face with Filicille at her table, "that's too ...... Uncultivated... It's too dangerous. ”
"You mean to say ridiculous, right?" Philicille had always looked serious, "I know, you have the power to surpass mortals and even witches, and entering Byron's palace is probably no different from visiting your own backyard, right?"
"That's not what I meant......"
"I don't care, if you don't go to Byron and ask Mila about her choice, I'll stop all work at once. ”
Rafa's eyes widened, and he couldn't understand why the usually mild-mannered Felihill had become aggressive for someone who appeared out of thin air and had nothing to do with her.
Perhaps he was never accustomed to giving in, even if the person who threatened him was his wife.
Rafa retracted his expression, leaned back in his chair, threw the wrench in his hand on the ground, and his face gradually turned cold, "Are you threatening me?"
"Yes. "Unfortunately, Felicille is also a competitive master.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, the people around them all gathered around, all secretly accumulating magic power, for fear that the two would really fight, after all, the power that the two of them possessed was not something that ordinary people could deal with, and if they really fought, they really didn't know what would happen.
"Just for someone you don't know?" Rafa's eyes were full of rebelliousness, no one had ever seen him look like this, and the other party was his wife.
"I don't know her, but I know she's your sister. ”
Felihill was still holding her ground, and in the face of Rafa's cold eyes, she suddenly realized that Rafa had not only a gentle side, but also a fierce side, but she was not disgusted, but excited, because she thought that this was a quality that a man should have.
"Oh, sister, what a sister," Rafa sneered and shook his head, no more reasoning, got up and left, and said as he walked, "What a sister, what a sister... Good sister ......"
Depressed walked out of the city, did not let Audair follow, Rafa was a little depressed, he thought that he and Felicille had a good relationship, but he didn't expect that just for a sister who appeared inexplicably, the two immediately turned against each other, and then he realized that their relationship was so fragile that they couldn't even withstand the provocation of a person who was far away and didn't know each other.
Decadently wading on the grass by Lake Shinai, he felt much more relaxed, fortunately the blue sky and white clouds would not change because of his mood, otherwise the sky would definitely be overcast now.
"What a sister, who is rare that stinky sister. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't help but scold.
"I don't think she's asking too much. ”
In a fit of rage, three figures blocked his vision, one of them was still wearing a skirt, and he immediately saw the shy spring light lying on the ground, which frightened him to sit up quickly.
"Are you witches?" he asked very bluntly, seeing the three of them clearly.
"That's right. Helmut still had a skewer of barbecue in his hand, "The food in the City Lord's Mansion should be no worse than that in the canteen, right?"
"......" Rafa was stunned for a moment, then finally understood what they were talking about, and quickly stood up, "Of course, I welcome you on behalf of Icefield City. ”
"Great, now you don't have to work to join the Witch Alliance. Helmut laughed.
"Huh?"
"You didn't agree to your wife's request, didn't the witches all rest?"
"So you all heard it. Rafa became depressed again.
"Why don't you do this, I'll help you quickly capture Kosol City, and you agree to your wife's request, how about it?"
"Actually... I wasn't going to say no to her, I just felt ...... She would threaten me for a stranger...... It's a bit unreasonable......"
"Maybe she's trying to make you feel more...... Affection?"
"What kind of kinship can you have with someone you don't know?"
The irritated Rafa sighed, sat on the grass, and did not move behind him, and when he turned back, the three of them were gone.
