"Did you ask him who he was delivering the letter for?"

"I asked, and he said it was an earl." The guard replied cautiously.

"Did he say who this letter was addressed to, my father or grandfather, or me?" Faina continued.

The guard hesitated, but did not answer directly.

"What's wrong?" Faina finally noticed the abnormality of this subordinate, and couldn't help but frown and ask with a beautiful brow, "What are you afraid of?" ”

He said...... Say...... The Earl said, "This letter is for ...... To a bad, grumpy lady from the Ring of Envelopes. The guard stumbled and replied, how he listened to this 'grumpy lady' was like talking about the one in front of him, there were two young ladies in Rovov Castle, but one was a gentle and lovely angel who was famous for his little angel, and the other was ......, the guard quickly shook his head, feeling that he was not far from the black prison.

He didn't expect that Faina was not angry when she heard this, but her blue eyes lit up: "Really, he really said that?" ”

When it was over, the guard thought that the eldest lady was already confused, and that most of the people who were going to be unlucky next, and it would not be the messenger who was unlucky—the messenger was but an explorer on the way, and the Earl was far away, and the one who was going to be unlucky at the moment could only be himself. Thinking of this, the latter couldn't help but nod with a sad face: "That's right, eldest miss, I didn't dare to say a word." ”

"I didn't ask you if you have too much mouth, do you dare to add oil and vinegar, don't you believe it?" Fayna spread her hands and replied angrily.

The guards hurried to take out the letter, which had evidently been a long journey, and had not been well preserved, and was crumpled on the surface. The envelope was covered with wax and a stamp of the morning star and a crescent moon, and Faina recognized it at a glance as the seal of the Eruin Legations, and her eyes lit up again, "How did you get this?" She asked.

"Because Anzlova is blocked, I heard that the messenger is in trouble from there." The guard replied.

Faina then remembered the war in the southern part of the empire. Across the evergreen aisle, as if he was far away in another world, this letter can come here, indicating that it should have set off before the war, otherwise by this time, Ancilova would have been completely unable to enter and exit. She nodded to herself, opened the letter, and the guard beside her waited in horror for her final fate, thinking that the Earl would dare to call out the title of 'Grumpy Miss.' Most of them won't be friends, so it's self-evident what is in this letter, and I don't know how much of a tantrum the eldest lady in front of me will have after reading this letter.

The maid who had made the mistake had only been locked up for a few days, and he felt that this time he would have to live in it for the rest of his life.

Not expecting Faina to read the letter so quickly—it wasn't long, but only a few words—and then a smile tugged at her lips, thinking to herself how disgusting this scoundrel was. At this time, instead of helping myself, I only think about entrusting myself with things. She sneered in her heart. Then he said to the guard in a good mood, "Is the messenger still there?" ”

The guard was waiting for his inevitable doom in his heart, as a member of this castle, he knew too well the temper of this eldest lady, so he didn't think about it at all, and he didn't understand it at the moment, so he only nodded honestly: "It's still outside." ”

"That's good. Go down, and don't forget to tip the messenger. ”

"What?"

"What, what are you in a daze?" Fayna frowned and looked at the subordinate.

"No...... No, I mean," the guard asked, surprised, "Miss." Do you need to reply? ”

"Reply?" This sentence reminded Faina that although she often had many admirers of the imperial capital write to her, these letters never needed to be considered to reply, and some of the letterheads came from the eyes of the imperial capital and the nobles who were close to them, and those letters were not her turn to reply, so in Faina's impression, there seemed to be only one exchange of letters. Reply--she thought to herself, but suddenly she thought of the group of knights of the inner court outside the castle, and a dark cloud could not help but rise in her heart: it is better to wait for the first time.

"Oh, I don't have to." Faina replied that she didn't know why, she didn't want outsiders to know about her relationship with Brando.

The guard was slightly stunned, he thought to himself that if that guy was the enemy of this eldest lady, then she should at least be furious, if not, she should believe what she said, what she meant by 'oh' is really a little incomprehensible. For a while, he only felt that the eldest lady in front of him suddenly became unfathomable, and it was rumored that she seemed to have changed after returning from the Ring of Trade Winds, and now it seems that it is true.

But he didn't dare to talk too much, the unlucky little maid was a lesson from the past, and when he heard Faina's orders, he hurried away as if he had been pardoned, for fear that the eldest lady would remember the things of the dungeon again, and it would be worth the loss.

When the guards left, Faina hesitated.

"That scoundrel asked me to help him investigate the teacher's situation in the imperial capital, but what should I do," she said to herself, "Right now, not only the teacher, but also my grandfather and my father are under house arrest, and if I can, I would like to know what happened in the imperial capital." ”

"That's right," a flash of brilliance flashed in her morningstar-like eyes, "The Erechko family, I should have thought of them, that villain is not familiar with them, but the relationship between our family and them is still good." ”

"That's it."

The eldest lady nodded, and then opened the door with confidence and walked in.

As for the knights of the inner court outside the castle, she has already made up her mind to leave it outside and ignore it, the Principality of Flower and Leaf still has this autonomy in the Cruz Empire.

……

Not to mention the chaotic reaction of the people in Rovov Castle after hearing the bad news, after comforting her only sister, Faina immediately began to write a letter to the Lowesen Territory in the Evergreen Corridor, because since Veronica was placed under house arrest, in fact, at this moment, the daily affairs of the entire Erechco family fell on her brother Count Rodney, and the Count was currently acting as the queen's envoy in the city of Gieton in the south of the Violet Valley with the Count Wagner of the White Legion.

Of course, serving as the Queen's envoy as the head of the Blue Legion sounds ridiculous. But the nobles knew that this was nothing more than a royal reassurance to the Erechko family, in fact, most people thought that Her Majesty's punishment of Veronica's excesses was just a gesture, everyone knew the significance of this goddess of war to the empire, and she could not stay in the imperial capital for too long at this time.

As for Count Rodney himself, perhaps he thinks so too, or perhaps has other ideas. But the Earl's reputation for cunning and weakness was long gone, so not many people cared about the opinion of this 'little man' of the Erechko family.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Veronica, the only younger brother of Veronica, the goddess of war of the empire, and the titular heir of the Erechko family, is a 'little man', just because the family is too famous in the empire, and the family is full of heroes - Veronica's grandfather, Grand Duke Tulip, was the founder of the Blue Legion before his time. There are only three legions in the Empire, and it was this Duke who single-handedly created the Blue of the Firmament; At the same time, he was one of the most famous swordmasters of the last Empire, and it was from him that Veronica had learned half of her swordsmanship at the hands of her grandfather, and it was from him that the ancient family of Ereshico returned to the center of honor and power.

Veronica's father, Lambert, was a well-known dictator, who was even more famous in Faenzan than he was in the Empire. If there is anyone who has beaten the Knights of Greyius to the point of losing their armor in the past three hundred years, crying for their father and mother. Then there is only this duke. In his time, the Emperor of the Empire had hailed it as the Great Wall of the Empire's north, and since him, the Cruz have hardly taken advantage of the Faenzans, not to mention that in the last thirty years there has been a genius general among the Greysius, Lorne the Lion. In this contrast, the people of the Empire, especially the inhabitants of the northern part of the Empire, miss the Duke even more.

As for this generation of this family, needless to say, there is naturally the famous Veronica, and the name of the goddess of war of the empire is derived from the Hazel people. Almost everyone regarded her as Lambert's heir, and if it weren't for the fact that Eruin had a sword saint Daurus more than ten years ago who overshadowed almost everyone of her contemporaries, I am afraid that in that era, when she was still young, she would have become a rising star of the empire.

And compared with these elders, as well as his more powerful sister, Count Rodney is not famous, although in all fairness, as a descendant of a large family, this count is still above the level in the imperial aristocratic circle, at least for this period of time, the Erechko family has not had any trouble in his hands, on the contrary, with the partiality of Her Majesty the Queen, everyone was surprised to find that the relationship between this count and the royal family seems to be one step closer.

And at this moment, the Earl is so dedicated to his current work that his enthusiasm even seems a little too much in the eyes of everyone.

It is a clear fact that neither Her Majesty nor the White Legion can really let someone from the Erechko family interfere in the affairs of the Legion - and the Earl may be overly optimistic about his situation, which is the secret opinion of most people. In the imperial capital, there was even a saying of a 'carefree fool', which Count Rodney himself had not heard of, and he did not feel the slightest embarrassment, but only laughed disdainfully.

A bunch of stupid people who don't do anything!

That was the Count's assessment of the confused fellows of Rusta, and at this moment, no one knew better than him the importance of his position.

The so-called coordinated action with Count Wagner, that is just an obvious statement, in fact, it should be the other way around, it is the Lord Count who cooperates with him, he is here, not only to monitor the movement of the Evergreen Corridor, in fact, few people in the entire empire know what is happening at the end of Anzlova, no one knows better than him at this moment.

However, he carefully maintained this little sense of superiority, and did not show it on his face, in order to satisfy those fools in the imperial capital, he had to play the role of a fool for His Majesty for a while, and the actual benefits must be nothing. But Rodney was a little annoyed at the moment, and he frowned at the guy in front of him wrapped in a long cloak. He remembered that he had said many times that it was better for this guy to have an agent come and contact him earlier, and it seemed that these guys from the underground of Jorgandegon could not be trusted by anyone but himself, so he had to go himself.

But this is the territory of the White Legion after all, if those people find out that their enemy is within their control, and contact him as an envoy. That's going to be fun.

He couldn't help but be secretly annoyed at the thought of the risks involved.

The point is that he doesn't know what position Count Wagner is in here, and who Her Majesty has in his hands, except for herself, I'm afraid not many outsiders know it, and he doesn't dare to mess up this matter.

No one knows better than him how much is involved.

And it was precisely because of this that Rodney had to suppress the anger in his heart. Shen Sheng said to the mysterious guy in front of him: "I don't care how many times this is to remind you, but I hope this is the last time, time is limited, what is the situation on the Anzlova side, how long do I have to wait for that person?" ”

"Lord Count," the mysterious man was very respectful, not in the slightest angry at Rodney's rudeness, but spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I understand your concerns. But this time I went there in person because the situation has changed. Something went wrong with our actions, and the damn dwarf messed up the matter and killed Miss Shagoth. Fortunately, however, the result has not changed, and now the Queen of the Dragon hopes that the Earl will return to Rustet immediately and relay this information to Her Majesty the Queen. ”

Rodney was slightly stunned after hearing this, he was about to have a seizure. But when he heard the words Dragon Queen, he pressed it down again, and of course he understood what kind of existence this lord was in the empire at the moment.

Return to the Imperial Capital-

Rodney frowned, instinctively feeling a little reluctant to go back to that place—he knew better than anyone that it was now a terrible maelstrom. At any time, it is possible to devour everyone silently. Although he was personally involved in this, he was not a fool after all, and he had long guessed that the reason why Her Majesty the Queen had wooed him was probably to hope that he could stabilize the Blue Legion.

Only his sister, who knew nothing about politics, thought that this was still limited to the scope of political struggles within the empire, and he saw the change of Her Majesty the Queen more clearly than everyone else, but he knew that there was another person who saw it more clearly than himself - the Duke of Helix of the Flower and Leaf Collar, but it was a pity that he made a wrong choice.

After listening to the mysterious man's words, he was noncommittal about it, and only nodded slightly.

"I see, I'll leave right away."

"No," the mysterious man stopped, "you'd better wait." ”

"How?" Rodney frowned, his respect for the Dragon Queen would not extend to these little people, the other party had provoked him again and again, and he would naturally not hesitate to make these people understand the fate of angering him.

The mysterious man seemed to sense the adult's anger, and quickly explained: "Lord Rodney, don't doubt it, I am here for your own good, as far as I know, it won't be long before a letter will be delivered to you." ”

"A letter?" Rodney was slightly stunned.

"I'm afraid it's a letter from Fort Rovov, my lord."

The earl's eyes lit up slightly: "The news that Grand Duke Huaye was arrested and imprisoned has been released?" ”

The mystery man nodded.

"I see, I'll go and meet the eldest lady, Her Majesty the Queen wants me to bring her to the imperial capital?" Rodney asked.

"I don't know about that, but you can ask the Dragon Queen for your own time." The mysterious man replied rustlingly.

After this group of damn lizardmen moved out of the dragon again, Rodney gritted his teeth, and finally nodded, he knew in his heart that since Her Majesty the Queen had released the news, then I am afraid that it was not far from the final move, at this time, he could return to that ghost place one day later, and there would be no objections.

"I just don't know what the situation is in the imperial capital now-"

He thought to himself, and when he thought of this, he raised his head and stared at the guy in front of him, and said, "Mr. Shalix, do you have anything else to do?" ”

"Of course not, unless the Earl wants to keep me for tea." The mysterious man smiled and replied in a hoarse voice.

Rodney wished that this fellow would die immediately, and left him for tea, and if it weren't for the service of Her Majesty the Queen, he would not have bothered to stay with these stinky fellows, and replied angrily: "You are all right, Mr. Shalix, but I have one more thing, there is still a group of envoys in Anzloy, and I would like to ask where those people have gone, as if they have not been heard from since the fall of Vargus, have you not noticed them?" ”

Hearing this question, the mysterious man, who had always been calm, suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Rodney, of course, was aware of this subtle movement.

“…… That's exactly what I forgot to say, sorry," the mysterious man coughed in embarrassment, "I'm afraid the Eruin envoys are on their way to Port Rune at the moment. ”

"What!?"
