"What? Is His Majesty Wigley sick? When the carriage arrived at the palace, the two learned that the emperor was actually sick, and the illness was not usually serious, and they had not been to the court or summoned the ministers for a week.

Linton looked at Klose, who was also surprised next to him, with a surprised face, even if he wasn't in the imperial capital, you didn't know that your emperor had been sick for a week? But then I thought about it, it didn't seem to be a problem, I forgot that this guy was an old otaku, and my granddaughter was missing, so I guess I really don't have time to worry about anything else.

"Is Your Majesty's condition serious? Has Bishop Byron seen it? How so? Klose asked anxiously.

"This ...... I ......" The guard on the other side looked like he didn't know how to answer. Linton was really a little speechless, if it wasn't serious, he could stay in bed for a week, and you asked what the guard was for, could he know the actual situation? The emperor's serious illness is a very evasive thing, if even a guard can know the emperor's actual illness, the security measures of this palace should be improved.

"I want to see Your Majesty." Klose saw that the other party didn't answer anything, and immediately said anxiously, he didn't do it for his granddaughter this time, his relationship with Wigley was indeed not bad, and now he heard that the emperor was sick just because he just wanted to see it.

"This, Your Majesty has decreed, no one is allowed to enter the inner sanctum for a visit at this time." The guard said immediately.

"Me can't either?" Klose said unhappily.

"This ...... Your Excellency, please don't embarrass us, Your Majesty's orders are no exception. The guard said.

Klose frowned slightly, maybe he also realized that the matter might be more serious, and if it was a general illness, His Majesty would not be able to directly refuse to meet with everyone, so the condition might be much more serious than he thought.

I couldn't see Your Majesty, and of course I couldn't tell him about the plan of the two before, and I didn't know what to do, when a voice suddenly shouted to the two of them: "Fourth uncle." ”

"Fourth uncle?" Linton turned his head and saw a familiar person, who was actually his nephew Garsein. It turns out that Garseen has returned from the battlefield? Come to think of it, I heard that the war was over when I came back before, and looking at Garsein's current appearance, the clothes on his body are much better, and it feels like he has been promoted. However, Linton was a little strange, because Garseen usually didn't call him uncle, after all, he was actually younger than him, and this time he was very proficient.

But looking to the side, Linton probably knew what was going on. There was a woman he hadn't seen before, a young girl in her twenties, who was also a nobleman in her clothes, and she looked good, and she didn't know what to do with her nephew. But I guess it's to show that I'm more polite, so I called my uncle or something.

"Lord Count." Seeing Garseen appear, the guards before also saluted directly. From the title Linton, he also knew that Garseen was indeed promoted, and it seemed that he had been rewarded by the earl for his military exploits.

"How did you find it?" Linton asked.

"Just around here, I heard the news of your return, so I came over." Garsain said, and after speaking, he also gave up a place for the woman next to him, and said, "Introduction, this is Miss Mercera, and this is my fourth uncle, Linton." And this one you should know, Master Cottvik. ”

"Hello Lord Kotviko, Hello Lord Merovi Swordmaster, I'm Mercera. Colin, it's a pleasure to meet you. "The woman here also immediately performed a noble salute, and she was very intellectual and reasonable.

"Colin's? Cedro's granddaughter? Klose asked.

"Yes, Master Kotviko." Mercera nodded.

"Oh, yes, I haven't seen you for a while, not only have you been promoted, but you've also found a little lover?" Linton quipped that although the two didn't show much, Linton already felt the sour smell. I didn't see Garseen calling him the fourth uncle in order to make a good impression in front of Messera.

"Ahem...... Gassein coughed twice, and then immediately changed the topic, "Fourth uncle, I have something important to tell you, can you change places?" ”

"Something important?" Linton asked, "Does it have anything to do with the Emperor?" ”

"Hmm......" Garseen nodded.

"Let's go, go back first." Although Klose next to him is not very sensitive in politics, he still has at least a sense of smell, so he immediately said.

The four of them didn't say much, and went straight out of the palace and returned to Klose's carriage. Klose's carriage was still very large, and it was not so crowded for four people to enter. Ordering the coachman to go back, the four closed the door and began to speak.

"This is a letter from Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Garseen first took out a letter from his bosom and said, "You read it first." ”

Linton didn't say anything, but looked at the letter and frowned. touched his chin and said, "The letter is not sealed and signed, are you sure it is the letter of the third princess?" ”

"This ...... Miss Mercera was a friend of the Third Princess, and she brought the letter. Garseen said.

"Yes, Lord Swordmaster." Mercera next to her immediately said, according to her, the letter was handed over to her by the third princess to take out of the palace, and it was supposed to be brought to Linton, but the problem was that Linton couldn't find it. There was no way for Mercera to find Gasein, and Gaseen didn't know where Linton was, and Mercera had no choice but to wait for Linton to come back. According to Garsein, although Linton will be inexplicably missing for a while, he will still contact him, so he can only wait for his own return.

Linton estimates that the two also developed a little relationship during this time, although it is only in the embryonic stage now, but it should not be a bad thing. Since Messella is the princess's best friend, and it is a family that Klose has heard of, she should be from an extraordinary background. Garseen had just been rewarded and was a new nobleman with no roots, so marrying an old nobleman seemed to be a good choice.

Of course, it would be nice if things were so simple on the surface, at present, the identity of Messella Linton cannot be determined, as I said before, this letter cannot be determined to be written by the third princess, and there is not even a signature. Of course, it may also be a way to shirk after being discovered, after all, if you don't sign it, even if someone else finds out, Mercera can say that she wrote it herself.

Linton was so cautious, mainly because it was a matter involving the royal family. The water of officialdom is very deep, and the royal affairs are even more of a cordon, how many conspiracies and tricks are in it, and I have to guard against it, especially since I am still a famous saint, and I deserve to be calculated by others.

"Have you seen it?" Linton asked directly at Garsein.

"I've seen it." Garsein nodded, the letter was not sealed, and the princess did not say that she would not let him read it, "Her Royal Highness is now under house arrest, and now even Miss Mercera cannot enter the palace. ”

"What? House arrest? "Klose next to him doesn't know what's going on, but when he listens to it, he feels like he has a big head, and the princess is under house arrest? Who would dare to do this?

"I can understand that." Linton gestured to Klose not to ask, and continued, "But if you say that the princess asked me to save her, forget it, but she asked me to leave the imperial capital and help her find some dragon blood sword grass, which I can't understand." What is Dragon's Blood Sword Grass, is it a cure? ”

"I don't know." "I also looked into it, and found that no one had heard of it, and I didn't dare to say anything about it." ”

"Dragon's Blood Sword Grass?" Klose, who was next to him, asked.

"You know?" Linton asked.

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it, the word dragon blood should refer to the blood of the dragon, but I haven't heard of a medicinal herb called dragon blood sword grass." Klose said, "But I'm not a pharmacist, so ask a pharmacist, I guess Your Majesty's illness needs this medicine." ”

"Do you need to confine the princess just to cure the disease?" Linton said.

"I suspect that there are people who do not want His Majesty's illness to be cured." Gaseen here expressed his guess, "Maybe it's because only the princess knows how to treat this disease, and she knows what medicine to use, so she was put under house arrest." ”

Garsein's guess was still more reliable, but Linton also immediately said: "I have another guess, no one has heard the name of this medicine, if it is made up, what is the purpose?" It's strange that the princess didn't let me go directly to save her, and now she asked me to leave the imperial capital to help him find medicine, don't you think it's aimed at me? ”

"Huh? Wait, what do you mean? After saying that, Garseen and Klose looked at Messella next to them at the same time, so Linton meant that someone instructed Messela to use a fake letter to get Linton out of the imperial capital, after all, they might also know about the relationship between the third princess and themselves, and then let themselves stay out of the way or something?

"This ...... This is really the princess's letter. Of course, Mercera understood, but she was really innocent and said, "How could I do something like that." ”

"Hmm...... That one...... Fourth uncle, I think ......" Garseen next to him couldn't help it, as if he wanted to tell Mercedes.

"Don't worry, I'm just making a guess, aren't I?" Linton said, "Actually, it's very simple to figure out this matter, since the princess is looking for me, I will go directly to the princess and ask if it will be clear soon?" ”

"No, now the palace is locked down." "Lord Swordmaster, in the current situation, if you break into the palace, you will easily be framed as treason by someone with a heart. ”

"Do you still need to break through?" Linton smiled, then said to Klose next to him, "I'll go out, you look at her, I'll be back right away." ”

"Hey." Klose just wanted to stop it, but suddenly saw Linton's body disappear from top to bottom, and in a second, he actually disappeared from the front of several people.

"Dust-free." Although they couldn't see anyone, Linton's voice seemed to be still in front of them, "It's all said, magic is omnipotent. ”
