1058 Entrustment
Naretta's words surprised Emma, but then she also felt normal.
Political struggles were everywhere in the palace, and it was not surprising that she had seen them a lot before. The mother and daughter finally managed to get out of the mess of the palace, but they didn't want to fall into it again.
Just thinking that her eldest brother was still lying in bed and not waking up, Emma felt that it was still necessary for her to stay here and wait any longer, and she would have to take in Naretta, after all, she would most likely become her sister-in-law.
Maybe the eldest brother can ignore family affection for the throne, but Emma feels that she can't be so ruthless.
"Okay, no problem."
Seeing Emma's promise, Naretta looked relaxed. Although she heard that Princess Emma was a kind and gentle princess, she still had no bottom in her heart. How bad the political environment in Wangcheng is now, she understands too well that she, who was born in a merchant family, is unable to stand in this whirlpool.
His Majesty's cronies were not willing to shelter her at all. On the contrary, they wanted to sell their daughters or sisters to His Majesty, and did not get rid of her, and they were already very loyal to His Majesty.
And she also felt more and more that danger was approaching in the palace, and two of the maids beside her had disappeared two days ago.
Unable to stay any longer, she had no choice but to ask Emma for help.
Thankfully, Emma was willing to take her in.
Under the fence, Nareta naturally flattered Emma without a trace, usually talking, and pleasing her from time to time.
Emma is not the kind of person who is very urban, and it only took three days to establish a good relationship with Naretta.
At noon that day, the sun was just right, and Emma was drinking afternoon tea and eating delicious pastries with Naretta on the rooftop on the third floor. In front of them, on the manor lawn, Sorilana lay on her side, basking in the sun, apparently sleeping soundly.
This was a very rude act in the eyes of the aristocracy, but Nareta did not dare to take it lightly, and she asked, "Lady Sorilana, is it the golden dragon in the mouths of those outside?" ”
Emma nodded.
"I heard you rode her back, you're a dragon knight?" Naretta's sources of intelligence are clearly not good.
Now, anyone with a little strength knows that Sorilana is Beta's mounted dragon.
Emma shook her head.
"But as far as I know, the dragons won't let anyone other than the dragon knights sit on their backs."
"I have a pretty good relationship with Sorilana." Emma smiled and continued, "So there's nothing wrong with that. ”
Nareta was very envious when she heard this, she also hoped that she could have a strong friend, dragon, that is a dragon, with such a friend, not to mention dare to walk sideways in the human world, but at least it is safe and worry-free.
At this time, a guard came in from outside the door, and he ran downstairs and shouted to the third floor: "Princess Emma, and Lady Narena, His Majesty is awake!" ”
Yes! Nareta screamed with joy.
Emma also breathed a sigh of relief, she went downstairs, shook Sorilana awake, and the three of them took the carriage and walked together in the direction of the palace.
In the carriage, Emma was surprised to find that the mercenaries on the street, who seemed to be a little excited, were running to tell each other something.
But now she felt that it was more important to see how her eldest brother was doing, so she pressed her curiosity.
At this time, the reason for the commotion on the street was very simple, the news of the Dragon Knight selection in Wojin City came over.
After hearing that the selection conditions must be to be a Vaujin believer, or a priest of the Fortune God Cult, and a temple guard, those mercenaries ran to the Fortune Temple in various cities to ask: I am now starting to believe in the goddess Waukin, is it too late?
It's no wonder they're so excited, it's a dragon knight...... The strongest class in the legend. Wojin City was willing to take it out as a prize.
If your dragon is a female dragon, wouldn't it be beautiful to ride a dragon during the day and a dragon at night?
However, they thought too much, and among the several golden dragons in Vorgold City, only Sorilana was a female dragon.
This is not a coincidence, but the dragon clan deliberately sent the male dragon over.
When Emma entered the palace, she saw her eldest brother in his pajamas, lying on the bed, although his face was still pale and quite weak, but at least he was awake.
Seeing Emma come in, the young king, with the help of his maids, sat up with difficulty and smiled, "Emma, I have heard everything about it, thank you for your help." ”
His Majesty knew very well that if he continued to sleep like this, within a month, the throne would surely change. A king who can only lie in bed, even if he does not die from a curse, will gradually lose his majesty and will lose control of the country.
"Yes, after all, yours is my eldest brother, and I don't want to see you have an accident."
His Majesty nodded a little gratefully, then looked at Nareta next to him and said, "It's good that you didn't do anything. ”
Nareta walked to the edge of the bed and reached out to grasp His Majesty's already thin hands, tears streaming down her face.
"You go out first. I have something to talk to Emma about. ”
Naretta left the room.
At this time, His Majesty looked at Sorilana beside Emma with some surprise. Although he knew that there was a golden dragon in Wojin City, he didn't know what it looked like, so he was a little strange now why this woman actually dared to stay calm in front of him and not go out with Naretta.
Emma looked at the expression on her eldest brother's face and roughly understood what he was thinking, so she explained, "This is Sorilana, Beta's mounted dragon. ”
Oh...... The King narrowed his eyes slightly, then opened them and smiled, "Welcome, Lady Sorilana, I forgive you for not being able to get out of bed and salute you." ”
Sorilana looked at Emma's face and bowed her head lightly to His Majesty the King.
Retracting his gaze from Sorilana's body, the king said, "Emma, do you know what curse I have? ”
"The blood curse of Zoroastrianism." Emma slowly explained, "If no one helps you to lift it, your blood will slowly heat up and eventually burn you to ashes like molten pulp. ”
"What a vicious curse." His Majesty the King snorted coldly, and then said, "I know that you don't like me very much, little sister, and I also know that you will leave the royal city soon. ”
Emma didn't refute, seeing that the big brother was awake, she really wanted to leave. This royal city is not a good place for her, and she does not have many good memories here.
"When you go back, you talk to Beta and ask him to find a way to destroy Zoroastrianism." The king's young face was full of murderous intent: "In return, I am willing to give half of the territory conquered by the Desert Kingdom to the Wealth God Cult to establish the Earth God Kingdom." ”
Emma was taken aback: "Do you really want to?" ”
"Zoroastrianism must be destroyed." The king touched his heart, even if he was unconscious, he was tortured by a curse, the feeling of his soul being in deep darkness and severe pain in his whole body, which can drive people crazy: "Also, when you go back, take Naretta to Vorgold City and help me protect her for a while." ”
