The day after the banquet ended.

When Cathy woke up, she immediately asked to take Nagia back to Anton Weisen with her.

The counselloress finally agreed, but before leaving, she went out of her way to see Arnold, in the private mansion, where the lord had come alone.

"Tell me, why?"

Nakia's face was haggard, her left pupil was slightly fluorescent, her wrinkles seemed to be deeper, and her neat and elegant white hair was a little scattered.

"Listen, I never wanted to hurt you, I'll ...... it"

Syllable!

Slaps echoed through the room.

Lord Taiganda was interrupted like this.

He took a deep breath, his eyes were as deep as an abyss, and he quietly stared at the woman in front of him who had helped him so much.

"You changed the format of the athletic tournament, there is no defense inside the castle, and you never mentioned those behemoths to me."

Nakia pressed her forehead, some of the after-effects were still tormenting.

Her tone was calm and heavy.

"You once told me that you just wanted to be the lord of Taiganda, and you didn't have too much desire for power and land?"

Arnold scoffed, not angry at the slap.

"What's that prisoner's name? Oh yes, Adam White. ”

He replied mockingly with emotion in his eyes.

"It was Anton Weisen who personally threw him into the dungeon, and that guy was so arrogant that he thought that he could crush the ants by sending a random subordinate to plot against him.

I bet Adam didn't pay attention to each other until he entered the castle.

You know, Cathy went to the dungeon to see each other, and she could have stopped this, but she acquiesced in her men's stupidity.

Indeed, I used her as bait and made a little arrangement. A naïve girl who doesn't understand anything and has to play a royal game will die at her own hands sooner or later. ”

Nakia's expression darkened.

She had been away from Anton Weisen for too long, and she had not been Cathy's teacher for a long time, otherwise she should have had the opportunity to educate her well.

Arnold stepped forward, spoke softly, and took the opportunity to redeem the other party.

"Don't go, I need you, I swear I'll protect you."

He stretched out his arms and tried to wrap himself up from behind, but he pounced as always.

"Funny, I spent my whole youth disappointed in a man. It took so many more years in exchange for other lies. ”

Instead of giving Arnold a chance to defend herself, Nagia placed the glass vial on the table.

"This is what was used to attack me. And guess what? Watt ore, which specializes in harming elven bloodlines.

I told you it worked, but I didn't say it was dangerous. Because I never thought that you would use it against me......"

She raised her slap, her face full of loss.

Arnold blocked it indifferently, and the previous slap could have been blocked.

"I'm going back to Anton Weisen to take care of Cathy, and I'm going to make up for some of the missing education. Elven hybrids can't have children, she's the thing I care about the most in the world. ”

Nakia Fory said with a smile.

She broke free from the other party's grip and turned away in style.

"Man, what a disappointing creature."

……

Two days later, in the early morning.

While Adam had just returned to the stronghold after dealing with the griffin problem, Cathy and the others had also returned to Anton Weisen.

Nakia looked down from the windowsill.

The blonde maid with an indifferent face stepped out of the side door and parked the carriage in the far corner.

It was a little shabby compared to the white-lacquered crates around it, the wood was not a precious species, and there was no royal mark on the back.

"Scholar, the king has summoned you."

"I don't have time."

She replied nonchalantly.

The servant looked up, his eyes hesitant, and finally turned and walked away.

Cathy sat in the center of the room, her eyes blank, barely speaking along the way.

The maid had just bandaged the incision on her neck, and she was subconsciously torn apart, and the blood scab was always difficult to heal, and there was already a tendency to become inflamed.

Nakia sat down beside her, and Cathy threw herself up, her voice choked.

"Ma'am, I'm scared when I close my eyes now. Every night is a nightmare, there are so many people, prisoners who have been executed, prisoners on the battlefield ......"

"You turn a blind eye to gratuitous tyranny, and sooner or later you will pay the price."

Cathy's blood is weak, and she seems to be about to fall into a coma again, but her body is resisting.

"No, I'm scared, there's a ...... in this room"

A white light floated in Nagia's palms, and it was only through the secret magic that she applied magical intervention to make her nightmare retreat slightly.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Nakia covered Cathy and slowly got up and left through the hidden door.

There are countless secret passages inside the castle.

As a royal scholar, she had done research and met the man in front of her in a hidden place.

The other party was dressed in gray clothes, and there were no jewels to be seen from beginning to end.

He rubbed his fingertip countertop ring and looked out the window with a solemn expression.

It overlooks the inner courtyard and the outer flower beds.

If you look at it slightly, you can see that in a bedroom on the second floor, the sun is shining obliquely on Princess Cathy's sleepy face full of fear.

"That's how you grew up with your daughter?"

Nagia coldly reprimanded, even though the other party was Goss Langar, the king of Anton Weisen.

"In this world, expectations for the king are high, and I can't be a good father with peace of mind."

He turned around, there was not the slightest wave in his eyes, his face was thin but full of determination, and he did not welcome or miss the old man he hadn't seen for many years.

"Cathy's thing, I just read the report, and I'd like to hear your version back."

The tone is flat, without any ups and downs.

Nagia squinted at each other, Goss always rubbing the lord's ring, which seemed to be a subconscious habit.

"You're going to stand up for your daughter?"

"No, there has been a lot of turmoil on the coastline lately, and the kingdom is taking over the surrounding lands, and there is no spare army to mobilize."

The female scholar looked angry, and seemed to understand how Cathy's arrogant and arrogant character came about, because there was never a character to tell her right and wrong, and to sum up the lessons.

King Langar stepped out.

The attic is empty, and there is a large area hidden in the shadows.

He raised the lord's ring, and the room that had been quiet and silent just now became murderous, and some kind of low roar belonging to a beast began to reverberate.

Nakia's eyes narrowed, and she felt a chill in her back.

The Lord's Ring has many secrets and powerful powers, and as for what it is, it may not even be well understood by the user, let alone others.

Goss still didn't have any expression on his face, and he clapped his hands lightly, and silence returned to his surroundings.

"What's that?"

Nakia asked in a deep voice.

She hadn't looked back just now, but she heard it anyway, and the sound of hurried footsteps was fading away.

"It's nothing, it's just a big dog, although there is no army, it is better to do something."

He had already raised his feet and walked outside, hesitated for a moment, then turned to speak again.

"I'm very relieved that you're taking care of Cathy. Welcome back, Nagia. ”

This voice, like white water, has no glitz of empire, let alone the slightest emotion.

It's plain and bland, and there are no waves.
