My name is Akatosh,

The so-called three monks have no water to drink, which is what this kind of thing refers to.

Dugu City, Blue Palace.

As the Empire's agent in Skyrim, the High King Toig is usually busy, reading and reciting reports from all over the world, receiving visiting nobles, holding meetings with key ministers, making production plans for the next few days and weeks, and enduring the disgruntled rants of some of the people who qualify for the Blue Palace.

"It's the Imperial Princess who is missing! It's not a kitten or a puppy! Why don't you guys fully mobilize to find her! Esgael Snowhoof's loud voice shook the windows of the council chamber with a buzz.

The second son of the Snowhoof family in Rift Valley City seems to have a bit of a bad head, and after the "Somo Embassy Incident", he will come to the Blue Palace to pressure Toig to intensify the search, and Toig can't drive him away out of etiquette towards nobles.

It seems that it is difficult to explain the reason with him: the manpower that can be used at present is already the limit, and if he continues to expand his influence, he will only mobilize the civilians of various territories to participate, which will not only be meaningless, but will also bring out the embassy incident that the residents of Dugu City have almost forgotten again.

If the princess really went missing, they could have sent out the sharp-eyed eagles, but now they knew that the kidnappers were just stand-ins, and they refused to do anything after they said "the princess will make the kidnappers look good" - are you guys in charge of cleaning up after the princess gets into trouble?

If you think about it, when he was yelled at by Ufrik, the guard named Palasos did not stop the princess from running to block it, which shows that this is a tradition.

"If you can't solve this matter as the Supreme King of Skyrim Province, go and ask the Imperial Family for help! They will definitely value the princess more than you! Esgael was still roaring.

"Oh?" Toig looked up from the file in a little surprise and looked at Esgael: "Don't worry, we've already passed the news back." ”

This big black man seemed to be a little anxious, and he could even think of asking for help from the capital province, but he was still not smart enough, and he still didn't understand why the princess of the empire was willing to marry the son of a nobleman in this place.

Speaking of which, the news he sent back in the name of the High King was just "the princess was accidentally taken captive" without any hint, but presumably those sharp-eyed eagles would have secretly passed the message back to explain, such as the one named Parasos.

The rooftops of Rift City, the Snowhoof family villa.

Due to the existence of inland rivers in the city and rat tunnels underground, most of the people in Rift Valley City basically looked downward, and even those thieves, organized or unorganized, generally wanted to go to the ground rather than to heaven when they escaped.

Palacos, on the roof, looked at the two "princesses" who were eavesdropping on the conversation of the Snowhoof family below, and did not know what to make for a moment.

He was originally tracking down Mercerfrey who had kidnapped Add, but somehow he was involved with the god of thieves [Noktunar], and then met some members of the Dark Brotherhood, and then inexplicably fought in a dark Annihilation Realm.

After the chaos was over, Mercer vanished, and the little annoyance, Sapphire, and the red-eyed girl named Illya became the new Nightingale, and had now returned to the flask to discuss the next plan, while the old Nightingale seemed to have some past to settle and did not know where to go, and the strange and mysterious Cicero and Joan of Arc rushed back to the sanctuary near Faucles.

Speaking of which, [Noktunar] carved a passage between the "Dusk Grave" and the "Nightingale Hall" so that they could come and go freely, so that the two princesses, Eddie and Amilia, had a whimsical plan to "see what Snowhoof House is like" to be successfully implemented.

However, it is understandable that Eddie wants to see his future family, and Princess Emilia is also joining in the fun, what does she want to do? Do you want to make a reference for yourself to marry in the future?

No, it's impossible to get married, no matter who this princess has a crush on, that guy has to honestly change his surname to Septin to join the royal family, and the Snowhoof family will encounter such a good thing as "the princess marries" purely by mistake.

"Look, princess, that's Ace's parents and brothers," Eddie said, pointing to Ulwulf Snowhoof, Nura Snowhoof, and Ammid Snowhoof, who were sitting in the main seat in the family chamber. ”

“…… Uh-huh. ”

Although the princess had seen them in the few days she had been playing in Rift City, Palacus was not going to be bored with the reminder at this time.

"She must be Ace's sister, the most powerful person in the Snowhoof family." Add continued.

Lilith Snowhoof, dressed in red and white priestly robes, looked out the window with feeling, but it was naturally impossible to spot the two princesses and the guards in a stealthy state.

Palasos listened carefully, the topic of this meeting was whether the Snowhoof family should go to Dugu City, "if they go and the princess is not found, they will be punished by anger as members of the Stormcloak" faction and the "if they don't go but the princess is found, they will be considered by the empire and lose trust" faction.

As for "went and found" and "did not go and did not find", they were not discussed at all.

"If they decide to go to Dugu City for the wedding, I'll quietly go with the car," said Add, "If they decide to give up Esgael, I'll go back to Dugu City with the princess." ”

Palashos didn't analyze Add's intentions at the moment, and he vaguely felt as if he had forgotten something.

It seems that he only met with Lady Sibili in a hurry when he passed through Dugu City this time, and did not return to the Sharp-Eyed Eagle station, and if they took the princess's disappearance seriously, the consequences would be very serious.

However, that guy from Tasilius will definitely report the truth to the Empire.

Snow in the north, the ruins of Covan Jond.

Although they had been on duty near the Great Trap for nearly five days, Regie and her elite men had not lost much morale, partly because of Governor Ricky's own prestige, and partly because the duty was not without gain.

The last bloodline of the legendary Pioneer of the Brother-in-Arms [Sgrammer], since Bogarth, the king of Winterhold, has chosen this place as his burial place, all kinds of secrecy work has naturally been done quite well, except for the big hole, there is no other entrance at all, and the fake ruins on the surface have not been found to be below even if they have been visited many times by tomb robbers from all walks of life.

However, with Regie already confirming that the following is the destination, it is very easy to find clues from the surrounding ruins, and even if Bogarse disguises himself well, the workers and the men who oversaw the work are not so shrewd, and many worthless things that even tomb robbers do not look up to are now evidence of the age of the tomb.

In this case, there is enough evidence to convince the High King Toig to send archaeological and excavation teams to go deep into the "big pit" - which is not good with the system of separation of military and government in Dugu City.

"Ricky—Sister Ricky—" A deep, thick voice came from the direction of the ruins' entrance.

Smack, Regie accidentally broke a digging tool.

"Tacilius—little brother." The female governor asked the strong man who walked in with a few guards, dressed in a sharp-eyed eagle uniform, swaggeringly, "Don't you have to guard the Dragon Bridge?" ”

"Well...... The princess was taken away 'again', and for some reason it was a bit of a big deal this time, and we couldn't pretend nothing had happened, so we just went out for a walk. Tacilius scratched his head and said, "By the way, you don't have to stay here, according to the scouts, Ufric has obtained the 'Sawtooth Crown' and is recruiting troops for the battle. ”

"Tsk." Ricky didn't doubt the Sharp-Eyed Hawk Captain's statement, their intelligence system was independent, and it covered a wider range of information than the Imperial Legion's intelligence network, and the response was more rapid, so the other party had found another way to leave.

"So, let's evacuate?" Hadava put down the clay pot in his hand with some loss, and the clerk's work these days had allowed him to find a personal hobby besides fighting - archaeology.

"Ah, that's not necessary," Tasilius waved his hand, "we're heading east of Skyrim to find the princess, and by the way, we're bringing you supplies and a new order from General Tullius - 'Set up camp in a non-conflicting position near Snowman for a possible attack by Stormcloak, and the follow-up troops will join you after confirming that the Windhelm side is in action.'" Well, that's it. ”

"Well, Hadava, go and convey the order to the lads to stop the excavations and prepare to go," Regie said to the archaeological scrivener, and then turned to Tasilius: "By the way, Palathos followed the princess and you left, so who is responsible for reporting to the empire to add that it was not the real princess who was taken captive?" ”

"Hmm...... I think those people in the Imperial Province know the strength of the princess, so no one should be worried, and if you add an explanation, Toig will definitely do it. Tassilius scratched his head.

Sea of the Dead, Catariel.

"In this way, it can be confirmed that Princess Emilia has really been kidnapped," even though the weather was cold, Lieutenant Selveras, who was in charge of intelligence, still sweated on his forehead: "None of the four pieces of information specifically specified whether it was Eddie or Princess Emilia who was kidnapped, which can only prove ......"

In the middle of his words, he suddenly looked up and found that the intelligence room, which had been bustling before, had become empty, and all the sharp-eyed eagle soldiers who had helped him organize the information had quietly slipped away.

"A bunch of cowards." Selveras laughed and scolded: "How can I let you report this kind of bad news to the eldest sister alone?" ”

With a sigh, he picked up the gathered information and walked out of the cabin.

The sharp-eyed eagle uniform he wears is not much different from that of Palathos, but there are some silver dragon-shaped decorations on the neckline, cuffs and other inconspicuous places, which represent the meaning of the royal guard.
