ACT37 Historical Shifts

Astrology has a long history.

These things can often be found in the famous libraries of the continent, and in the Oak Leaf Library of the Elantre Kingdom, the royal capital of Elva, the written record of "greedy wolf" also exists between the lines of some books-

Some say it came from the Mage Council of Bracada, others say it was Babel's astrology's means of spying into the future, and others say that astrology originated in ancient divination...... All in all, it is imbued with an air of mystery that makes people curious and awe-inspiring.

In the thousands of years of history of the continent, most of these visions have been verified-

Signott's gaze pierced through the heavy fog of the night, the red light shining strangely in his vision, and when he turned back from the street scene beyond the windowsill, the scene suddenly disappeared without a trace.

It probably lasted less than a minute.

All the red rays faded in the sky like a tide, and the night sky returned to its original scene, and the floating clouds were just as bright as a gorgeous sunset, and in an instant they disappeared into an infinite depth—

Countless people raised their heads, they watched everything, but after that, most of them seemed to regard this incident as just a trivial episode and talking point, and after a few sighs of surprise and open their mouths, they talked to each other a few words, and returned to their original lives.

The upper aristocratic district of the royal capital of Elva, leading to the Avenue of the Stars within the white walls—

It was a wide street large enough for eight standard carriages to run in parallel, and the pavement was paved with neat, clean, and tightly knit gray slates, and when the light of the moon and the light of the street lamps shone on this large continuous slate, the white quartz impurities in the slate reflected a little silver glow, like the stars in the night sky.

This is also the origin of the name "Star Street".

At this time of day, the Avenue des Étoiles is quiet at dusk, and only occasionally the rustle of the breeze through the dense canopy of oak trees can be heard from the side of the road, but now, the sound of horses' hooves can be heard in the distance at this stage—

Unless it is a particularly urgent situation, horseback riding is prohibited on Star Street, but when a group of figures wearing golden glow and silver white blouses appeared, this daily ban was temporarily broken-

At the notice of the palace guards, one after another nobles who held important positions in the kingdom left their homes.

The palace minister, Signott, arranged his clothes a little, and soon followed a tall palace guard on the horse, which turned a few streets and began to gallop on the Avenue of the Stars—

By the time he reached the base of the towering white wall, he had already seen several familiar figures, Tannis, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mirandal, the Minister of War, and Viscount Brent Leopold, the cavalry general who commanded the Order of the Iron Sword...... These high-ranking and powerful people all had a solemnity on their faces that is rarely seen, and no one spoke easily, just nodded slightly to each other.

Court.

The contemporary king of the Elantt Kingdom, known as the "Eagle's Talon", Edwin IX, is slowly leaving his bedchamber-

He clutched the heavy golden scepter tightly with a lean but strong arm, and the guards and maids followed closely behind him, the handle of the scepter tapping against the white jade carved steps, the sound of footsteps and crashes echoing in the distance.

His Majesty has been in a very bad mood lately, and when he noticed the vision of the "greedy wolf", the turmoil in his heart was even worse-

He was enjoying dinner, and although his appetite had not been very good since he was getting older, this time, he finally gave up all the hearty food in front of him—

A special court meeting convened on an impromptu basis.

……

The Lord's Mansion of Talen.

In the spire tower, Princess Samantha stood up from the table, she took a few quick steps to the terrace, the vision of the night sky made her clear turquoise eyes reveal a deep worry, and soon a man's figure appeared beside her, the man's arm was so gentle that he wrapped his arms around her waist, his eyes were full of concern.

"Samantha."

"Fred, this is the greedy wolf ......"

On the pale face, Princess Samantha's lips were trembling-

In addition to her excellent swordsmanship, Her Royal Highness is also quite knowledgeable, and the eyes of the two are intertwined, Samantha's long eyelashes blink, and she looks at her fiancé, the knight in front of her, Fred Wolfe.

It had been quite some time since the two returned from Karthas, and under Samantha's anxious waiting and patient mediation, the royal family and the Collins family finally reached a secret agreement that no one knew -

The cunning old fox of Count Karthas, Maddock Collins, smiled and left his signature on a scroll, while Samantha, who was in a state of apprehension, only bit her lip uneasily.

For better or worse, the royal family's purpose has been initially realized.

The rush during this period of time made Princess Samantha's originally tall figure a little thinner, with white and delicate skin on her wrists, and the protrusion of the joints of her bones, which just fell on Fred's warm palm-

The snow was falling heavily in Taren on a winter night, and the two snuggled up to each other, paying attention to the scene in front of them.

Fred quietly comforted his fiancée, his palms conveyed warmth, the two of them had a clear heart, and he felt the tension and heaviness in Princess Samantha's heart to some extent-

"Greedy Wolf" foreshadowed the coming war, he turned his head and turned his gaze in the direction of the east.

To the east of Taren, to the east of Razis, is Ensada adjacent to the Laziz Territory.

He speculated that the war might have started from the lords of the land, and if his guess was confirmed, the scale of the war would probably not be that small—and on the other hand, after the "Fog Pine War", both the royal family and the lords of the Northland had been greatly damaged.

He did not like war, but as the heir to the title of Earl of Talon, he would not shy away from his responsibilities.

For a long time, the temperature of the two was transmitted through the thick winter clothing, and Fred Wolf whispered in Samantha's ear: "Samantha, do you believe me?" ”

"Hmm-"

The princess's answer was soft, and her voice was small, and when the hot breath from the knight's breath beside her blew on her cheeks, a flush appeared on her cold face, which was already bloodless—

"No matter what happens, your knight, Fred Wolf will always be by your side."

When Fred said this affectionate love sentence, he suddenly bit Samantha's ear lightly-

I have to say that aside from his thinning hair, he is really a perfect life partner, noble-born, powerful, good-minded, gentle and considerate, and empathetic......

When these things are concentrated on a young man at the same time, he has an almost irresistible charm.

Fred stretched out his arm and picked Samantha in his arms—and the princess, after a few moments of resistance and struggle, her white jade fingers rubbed the bare, oily head with pity.
