The maid Edsa looked out of the terrace with some concern, the sky was clear, but there seemed to be some kind of uneasy gloom hidden in the increasingly heavy harbor under the light veil of clouds. In her gaze, a cluster of red roofs stretched into the distance, and the magnificent buildings depicted a unique landscape of the Pasha Road district.

That is the glitz and delicacy of the aristocracy, and the taste of comfort is everywhere. But the traces of the rainstorm are still there, and the broken branches in the courtyard that have not yet been cleaned seem to represent some kind of bad omen.

"I asked people to clean them, and the people down there are too unpleasant." Edsa sighed and whispered. But it's not so much talking to yourself as it is asking softly.

She stared at the back of the man on the terrace, her long, dark brown and almost black hair flowing like a waterfall on the red cloak, the edge of which was trimmed with snow-white fur and hung down to the ground.

"Edsa, no need. I can't notice it anyway, you know, you don't have to be so careful. The man spoke, his voice as soft as water. He raised his head as if taking a deep breath: "Hmm...... Do you feel it? It's the smell of the aftermath of the storm, and only now is the air the cleanest, as if the world is new. ”

"But it's actually a mess outside, with branches broken by the wind and tiles scraped off the roof," Edsa replied, "It's also a dangerous thing for ordinary people to go out on the streets at this time." ”

"Oh, Edsa, if you don't say it. I don't know? You are always like this, is this world so useless in your eyes? The man couldn't help but smile bitterly. Edsa saw him sigh and was a little upset, but still replied, "My task is to tell me what I have seen, Your Highness." ”

The man smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Suddenly, she saw a flock of white doves flying in a certain direction, which was supposed to be the square of Newsock Street. The maid watched in amazement as the birds spread their wings and flew high. But it is not that the heart suddenly turns to freedom; She turned her head, looked at her master, and asked with some concern, "Your Highness." It's been days. ”

"Don't worry." The man replied. Edsa wasn't so sure when she heard his tone, but she knew her master's temper well, so she didn't say anything more. Instead, it is a good way to bury the uneasiness in the heart.

It's something she's used to.

There was silence in the room for a while, and Edsa watched quietly as the pigeons flew away. She suddenly remembered the stories she had heard from the elders when she was a child, that the birds of the north would pass through storms as they migrated south, and fought against their fate day after day in the midst of the rains and lightning that fell from the sky, but was it really possible? She couldn't help but look at that back.

……

Outside the carriage, the bustling shops constitute a unique scenery in the port capital. Although the smell of war seems to have just faded a little, the merchants have re-energized Ampesel with a prosperous vitality.

Brando opened the carriage door, and then carefully helped Antitina down from the carriage. This made Miss Staff a little embarrassed, originally as a servant, this should be her job.

Instead of letting the lord do the other way around.

Next up is Miss Merchant. Roman threw himself out of the carriage and into Brando's arms. Then the merchant lady giggled, causing Brando to pull her delicate face in annoyance.

"Ahh Roman's small eyebrows immediately raised.

Brando looked up at the carriage on the other side of the square. The curtain of the carriage was lifted slightly, and the half-elf girl watched them from behind, then nodded to him slightly.

Although Her Royal Highness the Princess is anxious to find a way to quell the chaos in the north. But the time to meet Wood's officiating priest was finally delayed until the next day.

The current Ampesel is full of forces from all sides. But in the final analysis, it was the power of the princess that prevailed, followed by the temple and the nobles of the north, and the temple was naturally strong after this well-known mistake. It also had to be temporarily hidden under the countertop.

As the ultimate responsible for this incident, Wood is not actually the number one person in the Temple of Fire in Port Ampesel - after he left the position of High Priest, the Temple has already determined a new candidate, and the new High Priest Gladys is not well-known in the Temple, but Brando is familiar with this consistent neutral faction; This is a good old man, who has since served as the Priest of the Duchy of Antobro, and he has always called on the Temple to maintain an impartial and neutral attitude, and the Templars sent this man to Ampesel can also see the change in the attitude of the Cruz people towards the forces of the North and the South - the new High Priest will not arrive in the port until at least the middle of the year, so Wood still takes care of some of the daily affairs of the High Priest.

Yesterday, when the princess took him to meet Wood, the acting high priest, she did not expect that the latter had just left the city to pacify the people of the diocese. It wasn't until the next morning that the invitation of the celebrant was delivered to the two of them.

This time Brando brought Antitina with her, but the merchant lady clamored to follow her, for some reason - mainly the appearance of the eldest lady in the final battle, and the key role of Lord Roman as the actual manipulator in a series of discussions about the ownership of the wreckage of the Titan - the name of the eldest lady was already known to the port, so it was not a very shocking thing for Brando to take her with him. Of course, the most important thing is that Brando understands that he will never be able to defeat the businessman lady who is playing tricks on Rippy no matter what.

Princess Griffiin brought her younger brother with her. The carriage of the four soon met in the central square, and at the invitation of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Brando and the staff lady changed carriages, and the three of them crowded into the carriage of Her Royal Highness the Princess, which was painted with lilies and crescent insignia, and Brando saw the little prince Haruzer sitting next to the princess at first glance.

Historically, Prince Haruzer sat quietly beside his sister, just as Brando had been a few years later, a quiet and effeminate teenager, or rather a child. He rested both hands on his knees a little crampedly, his head hanging down. The soft strands of hair on his forehead almost hung down to the collar on his chest, and if he didn't wear a white shirt with royal coat of arms and a lion-tattooed sword, it would be hard to believe at first glance that this would be the future king of Eruin.

Seeing his brother like this, Griffiin couldn't help but sigh. In her opinion, Brando must occupy an important position in this kingdom in the future, she originally wanted her brother to have a good relationship with this kingdom's 'important minister' first, in fact, she even hoped that Brando could become Haruzer's teacher - this is not a fantasy, Brando's current strength is completely qualified to take on this position. If he still needs to be modest, then no one in the whole of Eruin, except for an old monster from the Zhongxing era like Tulaman, can probably admit that he is qualified to teach this prince.

But Her Royal Highness the princess is also aware of her brother's appearance. I'm afraid it's hard to get into the eyes of my own 'knight', after all, the status of teachers and students complement each other. In her opinion, Brando does not need a student of the royal family to show her identity, but she is not necessarily willing to teach an unsuccessful disciple to discredit her face.

Of course, some people may covet this position because they want to make a gesture of favor to the royal family. Griffiin was used to seeing examples like this. This was partly due to Overwell's willingness to teach her swordsmanship, as Obergul VII was known to have favored his daughter. …,

But unfortunately not everyone is Sir Wolf, and not everyone is Brando, Princess Griffiin can only sigh faintly when she thinks about this.

But what she didn't expect was that when she felt that things were a little hopeless, Brando, who was sitting quietly on the side, had a great interest in the little prince. He sat beside Miss Staff, and the Princess did not speak for a moment, while the Lady Merchant, curiously opening the drawer on one side of the carriage to find a small refreshment—it was evidently not the first time she had ridden in Princess Griffyne's carriage, all in all. There was no one in the carriage to start a conversation for a moment, and through this brief silence, Brando carefully looked at the future king of Eruin opposite.

Let's be honest.

This was the first time he had seen this little prince in this life, and even if he added the previous life, he and His Royal Highness the prince only had a few faces. Although at that time, he also came into contact with the upper circles of the kingdom during the last period of his rise in Eruin. But he has never been familiar with His Royal Highness the Prince.

Of course.

Nominally, Haruzer should have been the king of Eruin at that time.

It is only because of some well-known reason, such as the obstruction of the Archduke of Anleck, that the future king may not have a day of independence. And in fact, he himself lacks this ability, and Prince Haruzer in Brando's memory is just as introverted as he is now. Cowardice, this is almost the most fatal flaw of being a royal family - or even being a nobleman.

Cruz's famous lord of the Lowlands, Hodland, famously said in the game: "A nobleman can be vicious, insidious, greedy, and even inactive, but never lack responsibility!" ”

And Prince Haruzer happens to be such a person.

It is only a rumor that he is said to have a close connection with the new queen of Obercourt VII, but the court struggle more or less fostered the timid and fearful nature of this prince; Although Princess Griffiin was favored by the old king, Brando knew that the royal family had always been Siphah, the queen's side.

The historical Prince Haruzer did not finally come to his senses until his sister, Princess Griffyin, was murdered. However, it was too late, and later Madara invaded Eruin for the third time, and Eruin perished.

After that, Brando left this sad place. Later, it was rumored that Eco and Yura's daughter Ellara had re-formed the rebellion of Eruin, and it was said that Prince Haruzer did not die in the fire when the capital was broken, but was rescued by Buga, a cross-hander, and later married Ellara.

But these are all rumors, and no one has seen them with their own eyes. Not to mention Brando, who was already far away in St. Osor.

But history did not make Brando despise His Royal Highness, on the contrary, it only deepened his curiosity. He had read an article on the Internet about His Royal Highness the prince introduced by an Eruin netizen, and it was said that although Prince Haruzer was shy and introverted, he was actually very outstanding in many aspects, especially in learning magic and swordsmanship.

The article even hinted at the fact that His Royal Highness the prince might be a chosen one.

Of course, this is nothing more than a one-sided statement for Brando. But it didn't prevent him from exploring the truth, as far as he knew, Prince Haruzer had been learning swordsmanship under the teaching of Princess Griffiin since he was a child, and it was said that it had been ineffective, which also made Her Royal Highness the eldest princess very desperate, so where did the argument for that article come from?

Or is it just an eye-catcher?

Brando looked at the hand of the little prince Haruzer, which was as white and slender as a woman. He couldn't help but shake his head, this was not a pair of hands that had used a sword all year round, let alone the hands of a person with outstanding swordsmanship talent. …,

As we all know, any talent comes from hard training. Even a swordsmanship genius like Buga is the fruit of countless hours of training, and there is no such thing in this world as a matter of unearned earnings—of course, Brando knows that his situation is an exception, but he does not think that Prince Haruzer is a time-traveling party like himself.

But did the little prince in history hate swordsmanship, or was he not good at swordsmanship? Brando sat in the carriage, but Haruzer seemed to notice his gaze and shrank his hand in fright.

"What's wrong?" Her Royal Highness immediately realized her brother's abnormality, and she asked with some displeasure. The royal family's education required their descendants to maintain a minimum of appearance in all circumstances, and today's Haruze table is clearly a bit excessive.

She knew that her brother had always been introverted and scared, but it was too much to look so helpless. In particular, she didn't want Haruzer to leave the impression that he was a bully in front of Brando.

Seeing his sister Yan sù get up, Haruzer was startled and stammered and replied, "No...... Nothing, sister. ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Royal Highness the Little Prince is only ten years old this year, right, at this age, it seems that it is too early to practice magic." Brando's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he spoke.

The nobles often let their children learn magic and knowledge from famous court wizards, such as the chief court wizard Leighwoods to Princess Griffiin who died in the Battle of Ampesel, and the curious Gallock to the king's eldest son and his sister.

But in fact, any Vaughnd magic will eventually involve extracting power from the sea of magic. Although designed to weave laws, dark magic has more or less an effect on the caster, so wizards are mostly weaker in constitution.

For the same reason, although most of the apprentices of wizards start learning at the age of four or five, they usually start learning magic until they reach adulthood. Or at least after the age of thirteen.

But Brando found something interesting in Haruzer.

He could almost be sure that His Royal Highness the little prince had practiced black magic.
