May 1018 in the Ronan calendar.

More than three years have passed since Zheng Ming fell into a coma.

In just a few years, the continent has been turbulent. Countless careerists and strong men have been born. Shine in the midst of battlefields that can be seen everywhere.

Conquests between kingdoms continued.

Either unite or obey.

This is the norm for those small and medium-sized kingdoms that do not have dragon knights and strong men.

With the year by year of conquest, the various forces gradually formed several forces that were not much different.

Among them, the Kingdom of Dorne, which has a two-headed dragon, and the Kingdom of Ronan, which has a long history and heritage, are the most powerful.

After repelling the Lai Ai Alliance, Drogo Ryan, Khan of the Kingdom of Dorne, quickly unified the different opinions of the tribes, and finally formed a centralized state. and proclaimed himself king. It has to be said that the Lay Eyre Alliance and the Celtic Kingdom have contributed a lot in this. Without them killing the Dorn leaders on the battlefield, Drogo Ryan wouldn't have had it as easy to gather dissent.

After the failure of that invasion, the losses of the Lai Ai Alliance were not insignificant. But they still relied on the background behind them to form a huge alliance led by the kingdom of Ryan, who has dragon knights, and Adler, who has a powerful country. Its power is only subservient to the kingdoms of Dorne and Ronan.

As for another power that is also rumored to have a two-headed dragon, the Celtic Kingdom. Legend has it that one of the dragons was lost in that battle more than three years ago. In addition, the Celtic king has been shrinking his defense and not taking the initiative in the past few years, so the territory is the smallest and the weakest power.

However, thanks to its own excellent strength, as well as a conciliatory attitude that is not as brutal as the Kingdom of Dorne, the surrounding kingdoms have been attracted to join and seek protection. Let the Celtic kingdom not fall to the top of the pyramid and become a laughing stock.

This balance of three sides of the confrontation lasted for some time, until the invasion of the Frost Lan Kingdom, which was regarded as a barbarian outside the northern border, and the balance was broken.

When a snow-white frost dragon carrying the king of the northern realm, Nolan, appeared in everyone's field of vision for the first time, it caused a widespread uproar.

From ancient times to the present, every war between dragon knights and the battle for the dragon's spine sword has always been the seven dragons. It's impossible not to have one.

As a result, Zheng Ming, who was originally unknown and questioned, was taken out again after a few years. Doubts have also surfaced about the legitimacy and legitimacy of Arthur's throne.

The despicable who steals the throne by deception, the fraudster who is full of chivalry, and so on, wait for the news to spread.

……

In the Celtic palace, on a large round bed covered with snow-white fluffy blankets, Zheng Ming, who was one of the centers of public opinion, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

A beautiful woman with flaxen-colored slightly curly long hair hanging high behind her head picked up a gentle towel and soaked it in warm water, then picked up Zheng Ming's delicate and smooth arm and wiped it.

This man was Gwynna, the daughter of the kingdom. At this time, she has long lost the liveliness and naughtiness she had when she first saw her, exuding the elegance of the nobility in her every move, and the corners of her mouth are bent into good-looking angles all the time.

However, the subtle wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the slightly frowned brows revealed the worry in her heart.

"Alas~ It's been an eventful time now. It's a good thing that the borders of the kingdom are constantly expanding, and that more and more small kingdoms are coming to them. But Arthur was out fending off the invading enemy army for many years. I haven't seen her in a long time. ”

After chattering like an unconscious Zheng Ming, pouring out her daily trivialities and troubles, Gwena looked at the young appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old in front of her and was stunned.

The smooth and fair skin is moistened with warm water and exudes a seductive glow that firmly catches Gwynna's attention. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

"To be honest, I really envy you and Arthur. Look at you, time is like falling asleep on you, so generous. After all these years, you are still so young and so energetic. Even Arthur, who has changed rapidly in the past few years, is only in his early twenties.

Look at me, and in the blink of an eye I'll be an old woman with a wrinkled face. I don't even dare to look in the mirror to take a closer look at myself. I'm afraid I'll notice another wrinkle on my face. How I want to spend my most youthful years like those ordinary girls. Unfortunately, I am a princess of Celts, a daughter of the kingdom.

Look at your tender skin, and this pretty face. If I hadn't wiped you, I doubt you......"

Speaking of this, Gwena seemed to realize that something was wrong, and quickly withdrew the hand that was touching Zheng Ming's cheek, and sighed lightly after changing her affection quickly.

"Arthur has lost you, and with his goddamn chivalry, things are getting worse and worse now. The rumors of stealing the kingdom were secondary, but they became a fatal factor that shook her foundations. The powerful people who followed her, as well as the nobles and even commoners of the kingdom, were all looking forward to the birth of a prince.

Those who are ambitious are even more inclined to fan the flames and stir up waves in secret.

You can imagine the pressure she and I were under from the outside world.

The appearance of the silver-haired woman who wields the red dragon will threaten him in the future. Unfortunately, she didn't listen to my advice.

Thankfully, Lancelot is in charge. Otherwise, I won't even be able to sleep. ”

Speaking of this, Gwena washed the towel in the warm water and looked at Zheng Mingqiao with a blushing face.

She gently lifted the corner of the duvet covering Zheng Ming's body, and intermittently deepened her right hand holding the towel.

Just as she was inevitably blushing and groping her way forward, suddenly a strong hand grasped her wrist. Stopped her right hand, which was going deeper.

"Ahh

Gwyna, who had lowered her head with a red face, felt the force on her right wrist and immediately screamed.

Immediately she looked up suddenly, and saw a pair of deep eyes, staring at her without shock.

"Gwynna? What happened? Are you okay? ”

The door was pushed open rather roughly, and Lancelot, dressed in aristocratic attire and with a short beard, roared and rushed in. Then I saw Gwena standing on the spot, and Zheng Ming who stood up half of her body and looked at the door.

"Naru? Are you awake? ”

After a short period of opportunity, Lancelot called out in surprise and hurriedly strode forward.

"Hmm. Why are you here? ”

Hearing Zheng Ming's question, Lancelot showed a wry smile and explained.

"Recently, the king has not been peaceful. I was worried about the queen's safety, so I stood guard at the door. ”

"Oh."

In this way, in Zheng Ming's thoughtful expression, the three people in the room fell silent.
