Chapter 45: The Knight and the Princess

At noon the next day, Su Xiao, who was in a full mental state, left the Iron Hand Mansion with Bubu Wang and Eminem and went straight to a certain direction in the royal capital.

The purpose of Su Xiao's trip was to meet a princess, and this princess was Alyssa Herbert, the name written by the old king.

Su Xiao didn't know what was so special about Alyssa Herbert, but the old king wouldn't choose this princess for no reason, so he decided to give it a try.

According to the information provided by the fourth princess, although Alyssa Herbert is the heir of the old king, she did not participate in this power struggle, firstly because she is relatively young, and secondly, because she has no real power in her hands.

Although the four princesses failed in this power struggle, she is not the kind of person who is at ease, and she does not dare to seize power for the time being, so she can only live in seclusion and begin to secretly develop black power, and the four princesses, who were originally black and white, began to transform into all black.

Of course, the third prince knew what the fourth princess was doing, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it now, he valued royal power more than the fourth princess, or he already had a way to clean up the fourth princess.

Su Xiao has completed the main quest, so he will no longer participate in the struggle for power, he will devote all his energy to the throne.

Walking on the streets of the royal capital, Su Xiao has been thinking about one thing, that is, why the old king chose Alyssa Herbert.

About half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived at Alyssa Herbert's residence, which was not luxurious, but it was a large residence.

The courtyard in front of the house is not large, and the courtyard is full of flowers and plants, and it looks very well cared for.

If there is anything different about Alyssa Herbert from other princes or princesses, it is that at the age of 20, she does not have a fiefdom, but lives in the royal capital and lives a very peaceful life, which is Alyssa Herbert's own will and the old king's approval.

An extremely strange floral fragrance came, and Su Xiao looked for the source of the floral fragrance and saw that it was a bud similar to a rose, but it was blue all over.

A gentle breeze blows and blue pollen flutters.

"Wang."

Bubu Wang screamed.

"Poisonous?"

Su Xiao understood what Bu Buwang meant, that is, that kind of flower is poisonous, he stepped forward, pulled off a flower bud and put it in front of his nose and smelled it, indeed, this thing is highly poisonous.

A princess who will cultivate poisonous flowers in front of her house doesn't look like a good person.

"This is private territory, what's the matter?"

A male voice came from above, and after a clash of armor, a man in silver armor jumped from the top of the house.

The man landed quietly, but he stepped on two deep footprints, his age was about 30 years old, he had a mustache on his chin, and a sword hanging from his waist, not the kind of bells and whistles of the thin sword, but a knight's heavy sword, judging from the weighted ball at the end of the hilt, this sword was at least more than 100 catties.

Princess Alyssa Herbert didn't find it, but was blocked by a guard, but Su Xiao was not disappointed, but looked the guard up and down.

"I'm coming to Alyssa Herbert and asking her to come and see me."

When Su Xiao saw this guard, he had already vaguely guessed the old king's intentions, this guard ...... Very strong.

"Mr. Iron Hand, Her Royal Highness the Princess is resting."

The guard bowed slightly to Su Xiao, and there was nothing in his eyes except hostility, because he knew one thing clearly, that is, it would never be good for the Iron Hand to find it.

"It's not about whether she rests or not, but she has to come to see me, to see people alive and dead to see corpses."

Of course, Su Xiao didn't come to ask to see Alyssa Herbert, but was going to borrow Alyssa Herbert, please don't get me wrong, he just wanted to bring Alyssa Herbert under the throne.

"Your Highness the Princess... I am resting, and it is not convenient to meet guests for the time being. ”

The guard took a deep breath, he knew what the consequences would be if he said this, but this was his mission, to protect Princess Alyssa Herbert, to keep all evil things out, even if it cost his life, he was Alyssa Herbert's guardian, the knight who guarded her, Goss.

Three pairs of eyes looked at Knight Goss, and at this moment, Goss felt a malice that he had never felt before, almost turned into a real malice.

Cold sweat oozed from Goss's forehead, and he was not afraid, but worried about one thing, and that was whether he would be able to keep Alyssa Herbert safe.

Su Xiao looked at the knight blocking the way with more interest, this guy's aura was very strong, although he was confident to kill the other party, but it was not a simple matter.

Now, Su Xiao is interested in this princess named Alyssa Herbert, a powerless princess who is protected by such a strong holy warrior, it doesn't make sense.

Seeing this 'knight', Su Xiao seemed to have seen a powerful cannon fodder.

"What a gift."

Su Xiao muttered, the knight named Goss frowned, and there was a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Are you trying to disobey the king?"

Su Xiao's words made Goss feel even more bad.

"Of course not, but you can't represent the king here, Your Majesty has ordered me to defend Princess Alyssa to the death."

Goss is also aware of the current situation in the royal capital, where the old king has just abdicated and the new king has not yet taken power, which has led to the blurring of royal power.

If Su Xiao took out the old king's token or letter, then Goss could refuse with the reason that the old king had abdicated, and as for the new king's token and letter, he could also use the old king to suppress Su Xiao.

Su Xiao took out the golden lion pendant and a letter from his arms.

"Old King or New King, which do you want to choose?"

The golden lion pendant in Su Xiao's hand represents the old king, and the letter represents the new king, which is a question of sending him to death.

"This ......"

Goss's mouth opened and closed, after all, he was just a holy warrior who carried out secret orders, at most he dared to take advantage of loopholes, and would never dare to disobey the royal power.

Goss's thoughts at the moment were what was going on in the royal family, and why the Iron Hand held so much power.

The drastic changes in the royal family, of course, outsiders don't know, now that the old king is dead, the new king is quickly grasping the royal power, in order to stabilize Su Xiao and sacrifice a younger sister, the third prince will not even blink an eye.

As long as Su Xiao does not use military power and finance, even if Su Xiao makes a princess's belly bigger, the third prince will not say anything, but will give Su Xiao a small fief, and take this opportunity to strip Su Xiaotie's position from the hand, and then add an official position without real power.

The third prince is to Su Xiao to keep the well water from the river water, and with a holy warrior wants to block Su Xiao? Don't be kidding, even if Su Xiao kills the other party on the spot, the matter will not be too big, and someone will even come to collect the body.

Of course, Su Xiao won't make a move now, because he wants to know what Alyssa Herbert's character is, if Alyssa Herbert's personality is softer, then this holy warrior is cannon fodder, cannon fodder to open the way under the throne, this is a big gift from the old king.

"Your Excellency... Inside, noodles, please. ”

Goss opened his mouth word by word, his attitude was not good, Su Xiao didn't care at all, he wouldn't be angry with the dead, that was stupid.
