My name is Akatosh,

I swear I didn't intervene in these coincidences.

—4E, 201, Moon of the Fire, 12th, 18:46 —

Working with the wrong people at the wrong time to execute the wrong plan, the Thieves Guild is going to kick the iron plate this time.

In the port of Dugu City, on the roof of the warehouse of the Eastern Imperial Company, Palashos, who had changed into gray leather armor, thought so.

He had already put the "Blue Balmora" in the hold of the light cargo ship "Grace Stade", but was not at all optimistic about Baron Erekul's plan to "order the guards to raid".

The ship, which was theoretically owned by Princess Emilia in the name of the Eastern Empire Company, had not attracted the attention of the Sharp-Eyed Hawk before, even though it was the most profitable fleet in the company - because the princess had no interest in those fleets at all, and the connection was not close, let alone the possibility of getting on board.

When Parasos was "ordered" to investigate it, he found that the shipowner was very thoughtful, and he did not transport large quantities of goods with low profits but sufficient stability like other fleets, but focused on speculation by virtue of his quick and agile advantages, and each time, even the same cargo could be different, and after arriving at the destination, they were sorted and sold according to the prior investigation, and the time difference between the time that no one else had time to react to, even if someone stared at him to do the same thing, was likely to lose a lot of money because the only gap was filled.

If Baron Erekul's plan succeeds and he takes a stake in the fleet, the mere submission and review of the trade plan will let the fleeting business opportunity slip away, and when the actual approval is returned, the same business may go from the first pot of gold to a completely loss-making transaction.

However, it was Baron Ericourt himself who showed up anyway, and even if he failed, it was his own failure, and the task of the Thieves' Guild to "place the Blue Balmora" could be called a perfect success.

At present, the more important thing is to listen to the lord's reaction to "that incident", the kind of stand-in that is easy for acquaintances to distinguish will be regarded as Esgael Snowhoof, it can be seen that there is no deep connection between them, maybe it is just that Snowhoof is unrequited love, but it is still necessary to confirm.

Palasos jumped off the roof and hurried from the main road in the direction of Dugu City.

——18:52——

"Based on my analysis, Mercer Frey's target is likely to be 'your' Eastern Empire."

“…… Well. ”

The sun had already set in the west, and the sunset illuminated the entire port of Dugu City and the sea around it in a golden color, and if ordinary people looked at the Sea of the Undead at this time, they would probably be dizzy with golden light.

Xiao Fu and Emile stepped on the roof of the warehouse and approached the dock unaffected, and the golden light reflected by the setting sun and the sea was absorbed into the gauze dagger around Xiao Fu's waist as they approached.

Although it looks ugly, the sword that starts to glow on its own after it gets a little dark makes Xiao Fu have to do it.

Not only did she get the artifact that disrupted the stealth, but she also made the "Demon Hand" used to find Mercer useless - it would now firmly point to the "Dawnbreaker".

However, given that Mercer set off one step ahead of them, he must have arrived in Dugu City, but because of the court mage Sibilee, he definitely didn't dare to use the combination of magic artifacts with relatively large magic fluctuations, so he could only quietly use the lock-picking ability of the [Skull Key].

They had planned to search for Mercer in the crowd during the lame drama of "The Princess Robbing the Dharma", but an unexpected spoiler appeared, and in order to avoid detection, they slipped away before the sharp-eyed eagles gathered.

Emile, or Princess Emilia Septin, had been silent, but after witnessing what the silly boy of the Snowhoof family had been thinking about, she became more and more silent, and she looked at her for a while before continuing to analyze.

"Judging from the fact that he can use two demon artifacts at the same time to achieve the strange 'teleportation' effect, Mercer must be looking for more demon artifacts, but most of them are in the hands of their owners, and there are very few demon artifacts like the [Star of Azura] that was discarded at will and the [Skull Key] that he stole by some means, however," Xiao Fu pointed to the warehouse and the returning ship below: "In your Eastern Empire company, there are at least two transaction records of demon artifacts - although it was determined after the fact, They are the "Mask of Persuasion" by Clavicus Vile and the "Blood Rose" by Sanguine. ”

“…… So? Amir blinked.

"So we're here for the rest of our time, unless we find Mercer or we're sure he's gone," Xiao Fu said angrily, "or are you going to go back to be your princess?" ”

“…… No. Emile replied immediately without thinking.

The silly boy of the Snowhoof family is quite lethal, and Xiao Annoyance pursed her lips, and then out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that a high-spirited nobleman was surrounding a fast sailing ship with a group of seemingly reluctant guards, and vaguely heard the words "Erekul", "Balmora", "drug", "inspection", "mandatory", etc.

"It's mostly contradictions and tricks between nobles, 'Your Royal Highness the Princess', you see—huh?" When he turned his head, he found that Amir had disappeared.

——19:38——

"Lord Toig, please rest assured that you will hand over Amir to me, and I will make her happy!"

In the Chamber of the Blue Palace, Esgael Snowhoof takes Princess Emilia by the hand and bows solemnly to Toig, Toig, the blonde Elysifher, and the steward Foco Firebeard all have a face full of words, while Poegel Bearpaw, who is still wearing the uniform of the sharp-eyed eagle, is as expressionless as the court mage Sybilee Stant.

"Uh, Ai, Emilia, what do you say?" Toig organized for a long time and finally turned his attention to "Princess Emilia".

"I always thought that I was not interested in love and marriage because I was in the Blue Palace and met a lot of outstanding men, but it wasn't until I met Esgael that I realized that I just hadn't met the right person~" "Princess Emilia" said in an aria-like tone: "I am willing to be his wife, please allow you, Lord Toig." ”

"Huh." Esgael smirked.

That's enough...... Toig would now rather Ufric give him another dragon's roar so he can go to the backhouse for a few months.

Emilia Septin is a princess! Does the princess understand? If you ask to marry her, you shouldn't talk to the High King of the Skyrim, but you should go to Cellodir, the capital province of the Empire, to propose marriage to the Emperor! And don't be delusional that the princess "married" you, you are going to become a naturalized royal! And the most crucial problem is that this stupid girl who wants to marry you is not a princess at all!

Toig was tempted to let these words out, but in the end he only looked back feebly and asked his wife, who was sitting behind his throne, "What do you think, Elysifher?" ”

"Isn't that good?" Blonde Alicifer smiled.

Why did he forget his wife's personality of not being a big deal when he saw the excitement...... Thoig's gaze turned to the glazed-eyed Steward, the expressionless Chief Guard, and the Court Mage.

"Your Majesty the Supreme King, we, the Snowhoof family and' fill in the 'family' according to their own surveys The marriage of Miss Emir's full name is an important factor in maintaining peace and stability in Skyrim Province, if you show goodwill to most of the noble class in Skyrim Province in this matter, there must be no substantive conflict, they must be happy to mediate the battle between the Imperial Legion and the Storm Cloak, and let the real war turn into a dispute at the negotiating table, which is a good thing for everyone, you don't have to worry about Somo, as the birthplace of mankind, Skyrim Province has a hundred ways to make those elves no longer dare to covet here. Esgael took the opportunity to pull out a piece of paper and began to read.

"'Amilia', I think you should be well aware of the meaning, consequences, and costs of your choice." Toig sighed and said to the "princess" in a deep voice, "I hope you won't regret it." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty," Emilia nodded, "Although I was a little stupid because I was in love, I still insisted on this decision after carefully considering all the factors that would affect me." ”

"Mr. Snowhoof, please go to rest," Toig said weakly, "the process of marrying the princess is complicated, and we need to plan it well." ”

"Emile~I'll come back to you tomorrow~" Esgail happily waved to "Amilia" as she was led to the guest room by Boeil.

"Why......" Toig looked at Emilia in distress and sighed, "The princess is probably going to be angry." ”

"I'd like to see how angry she looks, but maybe she'll be happy to find out." "Amilia" shook her head slightly.

Eddie Septin, Princess Emilia's maid brought from the capital province, and also the adopted daughter of the surname given by His Majesty the Emperor, it is not wrong to say that she is a princess, and because she grew up with Princess Emilia, people who are not familiar with it are completely indistinguishable, but the princess herself has no talent for stealth and illusion and dagger at all, and can only occasionally appear for Emilia when she runs out to play for too long, although she can't deceive the real intelligence, but it is enough to appease the people, This behavior hasn't gone wrong before – until today.

"Relevant details, you and Alicifer can discuss, I really have a headache, I have to go and rest first." Toig shook his head, got up and walked to the back house of the Blue Palace.

——19:51——

"Get out!"

After the impromptu meeting on the "princess", Sybilee Stint left the council hall and walked slowly to his room, and as he passed through the corridor by the window, he suddenly burst into a loud cry, and the powerful electricity shook a black shadow lying outside the window, and the black shadow rolled to the ground and quickly disappeared before the guards surrounded him.

"Ah, I'm worried about how I'm going to show up if you don't find him." Shortly after the shadow vanished, Palacos rolled in through that window.

"Why do you think I opened the sound-shielding barrier after Toig opened that snowhoof?" Hibili looked at him and said, "What about the princess?" ”

"Master of the Thieves Guild, it's much better than me, and if she doesn't take the initiative to show up, no one can find her, right?" Palashos shrugged: "I'm just saying, the princess has only met the big black man once, most likely because of his love at first sight plus unrequited love, if you want to marry Eddie by mistake, the princess will probably be angry." ”

"Love at first sight." The court mage repeated: "Feelings are incredible. ”

"Why do I feel like you're missing someone?" Palacos asked uncertainly.

Boom –

Someone flew upside down from the silent barrier with lightning, fire, and frost.
