After the persuasion of Arlo and Flanda, Mel finally calmed down.

The three of them sat around the table, prepared tea and dessert, and began a pleasant breakfast/afternoon tea.

"I've brought back news from King Visa." Mel wasn't used to this laid-back petty bourgeoisie, and she ate casually, "King Visa is doing a crazy move right now. ”

"Do you mean that both the princess and the queen are wanted?" Iroh asked.

"The prince was also arrested at the same time." Mel added.

"What!" The most surprising thing was Flanda.

After all, when Iroh and Mel had learned that the king of Visa would make an action that wanted his wife and daughter at the same time, they no longer regarded the king as a normal person.

Anyway, he is already wanted for his wife and daughter, and it is not a strange thing to add a son.

"Would you be puzzled that your father would do such a thing?" Mel asked Flanda.

"Of course!" Flanda said in surprise that she was not afraid or overwhelmed, but surprised, as she had never been so surprised when she learned that she was wanted by her own father!

"Why? What do you know? Iroh asked.

After swallowing the pastry in her mouth, Flanda slowly said, "Inside story...... It's not an internal affair, but it can also be said to be my family affair, my parents are not actually harmonious, they are not very good to me, they always quarrel, and then always ignore me, I have not been treated very seriously since I was a child, but they only have one thing in common, and that is the expectations of my royal brother Lauderrick...... Both the father and the queen mother are looking forward to the succession to the throne one day, so even if this happens, I don't believe that my father will want the king. ”

"It's an anomaly, but the premise of the whole thing is quite abnormal." Mel said, "Even if your family relationship is not good, this kind of wanted notice is still a bit excessive, I don't mean, have you ever suspected that the king of Visa has been replaced?" ”

Mel's speculation made Flanda's eyes light up, maybe it was a real possibility.

But Iroh immediately rejected the speculation: "If this is the case, Brooke will find out a long time ago." We can't interfere with our opinion with this unfounded speculation, this speculation of yours is reserved for the time being, I have a few questions I would like to ask about what Flanda said, what is the content of your parents' usual quarrels? ”

"The content is probably a child, my brother and me, they often quarrel over this kind of content." Flanda said.

"Do you remember the content?" Iroh asked.

"Come to think of it, I didn't live with them for long, and they quickly sent me to the academy, and I have the impression that the topics they often quarrel about are generally ......" Flanda raised her hand to her head, thought for a moment, and then replied, "'Lauderrick and Flanda are also your children anyway, do you think it's appropriate?'" 'Why not some of the duke's children?' 'I don't agree,' the most memorable time they said that. ”

"Sounds like the same person?" Mel guessed through the tone of Flanda's retelling.

"Yes, it's all my mother's words, because my father's voice is so quiet that I can't hear anything." Flanda confirmed Mel's guess.

"......" When Iroh heard this, he fell into deep thought.

"Brother Iroh?" Mel turned her head to look at Iroh, she wasn't very good at this kind of connecting clues, so she could only pin all her hopes on Iro.

"I have a vague sense of something, but there are some speculations that I can't say for the time being." "Do you remember what family the Flanda family is?" ”

"House Rusfield, right?" Mel said.

"It's the Rusfil family of Zero Seven." Iroh said.

Mel groaned slightly, then tapped the table lightly, and immediately stood up: "You mean that!" ”

"Which which is which? What are you guys playing? Flanda looked at the two men, and their tacit appearance made her anxious.

"Your Highness, we only have some immature speculations now, and if we say it, I'm afraid it will hurt the harmony, so for the time being, I ask Your Highness not to ask more, and then inform Your Highness after we find out the truth." After Elo said this to Flanda, he immediately turned his head to look at Mel: "You go to Zero Seven now, tell him everything that happened here and what may happen in the future, and ask the headquarters to send some reinforcements." I will take Her Highness Flanda back to the royal capital, and we must save Her Highness Lauderrick before disaster strikes! ”

"What kind of disaster will happen?" Flanda asked anxiously.

"There's a good chance His Highness Lauderrick will die." Iroh gritted his teeth and said.

Flanda's expression became even more incredulous, she looked at Iroh's face, then turned to Mel again, trying to see some joking looks in the expressions of the two men, but the expressions of the two disappointed her, both of them remained highly silent, very serious and difficult for her to accept.

"It can't be true, right?" Flanda still couldn't believe it.

Brother Lauderrick, who once attracted the attention of his parents, Brother Lauderrick, who once upon a time could even resolve the conflict between his parents, Brother Lauderrick, who once protected his own growth, and now may even die at the hands of his own father...... How ironic is that?

"How are you going to get back to the royal capital now? You took her over the hill and back? "Don't forget that it's a mountainous terrain, and it's not so easy to climb, and if you take her with you, you're going to both die there." ”

The terrain of the mountains is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you occupy the high ground, you can easily throw heavy objects, and use gravity to inflict great lethality.

It may be possible for Iroh to climb over the besieged bunker alone, but with Flanda, Iroh is not sure that she will be able to guarantee her life.

Of course, he couldn't use the Gun of Hui to carve a hole in the center of the mountain little by little, but not to mention whether it was efficient or not, he would not expose the Spear of Wisdom in such an unnecessary situation.

"No, we decided to take a long detour. said that it was a long way, but in fact it was only a few towns, and if it was only a detour that could not be saved, it would only prove that his life was really bad. Iroh said.

"What the hell is going on?" Flanda was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

“…… Your Highness. Iroh looked at her sincere eyes, and couldn't help but tell her the truth, "Did you know that your family has a tradition? ”

"What tradition?" Flanda looked at Iroh's eyes and felt a "chuckle" in her heart, as if she had missed half a beat.

"It is the tradition of sacrificing a living person, offering members of the family to the devil in order to pray for the blessing of the devil......"
