Chapter 007: Your Highness

After that night, the rest of the day was unexpectedly quiet. Except for www.biquge.info a court decree forbidding them to restore the burned wooden house, the Evil Eye's dwelling could only be temporarily installed in the stables.

"Hmph, Vincent, the man who usurped the throne of the prince should make himself more thoughtful and cautious before becoming king. There is no part to the succession to the throne at all, and the rivals he should face are others. Things like sending people to commit murder and arson at midnight don't seem like things that the prince can do at all. Now I want to abuse a child in some other way, in my eyes, he is not worthy of being the prince of the kingdom of Dande, and he is blatantly desecrating the royal bloodline, like dangling a weapon around the king's neck, which can be seen even by the servants who keep horses! Nadine's voice was filled with cold sternness. But no matter how much he complained, the evil eye had no complaint about it, and for several days he sank into a deep dreamless sleep in peace, a sleep that in the eyes of many belonged only to a warm spring afternoon, which only the fortunate could enjoy. Increasingly, the Evil Eye felt that the stables were a gentle place to recuperate.

As the days passed, the evil eye slept one night and half a day. He didn't care about anything else for the time being, except that the Ringwraith liked to be silent during the day, and then wander around at night. One evening, a week later, Ut's stiff tail thumping on the ground woke Evil Eye, and he picked up his face buried under the blanket to find Nadine gone, only to see a pair of brown boots in front of him. "The gods are above, and indeed he looks like the son of Israel, and there is nothing in his features that resembles his father. I dare say that anyone who knows Israel well will recognize this kid wherever they see him. But how is it that your heads are not as good as the fleas on a dog? Regardless of whether he is an illegitimate child or not, as long as he has royal blood, he should not stay with livestock! The palace is so big, you really don't have anywhere else to place him? ”

The man who spoke had no beard on his cheeks, and his scented, smooth-combed hair was fine and brown. He wears a close-knit, subtle colour of utilitarian wool, while the placket is brighter with gold and silver thread embroidery. But the younger man who came with him was a pale yellow color, and his draped cloak was twice as wide as the width needed to wrap his body.

"I don't mean to be disrespectful to the royal bloodline, my lord. I have received orders from the Prince's Guard, you know me, and I want to take care of this in the best possible way-"

Hearing that it was about the prince, the other party immediately spoke sensitively to interrupt him. "Well, even if this matter is that on the surface, it is not very good-looking, but the person who should use your brain to think about it is you, after all, it was the prince's guard officer who handed over this matter to you, and I don't plan to look for it. The gods are above, and he is already doing much better than many civilian children, so it doesn't matter if he is placed in the stable for the time being. ”

These two men, one is an investigator sent by the palace to investigate the cause of the fire, and the other is a dispatcher in charge of the palace reserves. As soon as they heard about the prince, they were as nervous as a dog being stepped on by the tail, and it was conceivable that few people in the entire palace dared to go against the prince.

The Evil Eye has realized that the rest of the day may not be easy. But he never imagined that His Royal Highness, who was high up in the sky but behad despicablely, would order Nadine to be thrown into the black prison for the murder of six Praetorian Guards.

As the afternoon approached evening, it was the stableman in the stables who brought the news to the Evil Eye, but the Evil Eye knew what Vincent's ultimate purpose was.

"To live is to fight for survival, and comfort is reserved for the dead. Since His Royal Highness, whom I have never met, sees me as a thorn in his side like a mad dog, then I can't sit still and wait for death. He paused, and there was a sharpness in his eyes, "Now that I am no longer a cripple, it is time to use some means to change my situation, and it is also time to face King Dande, even if there is a certain risk in doing so." ”

Having decided to do so, the road leading from the periphery into the palace hall was filled with all sorts of sounds and people, carriages, dogs, buildings, winding streets, and finally to a large complex of stone fortresses on the cliff, looking down on everything that was under its shade.

Evil Eye had draped himself in a cloak that didn't fit properly, and many people along the way looked at him with curious eyes, and Evil Eye didn't care to take their kind of gaze as normal. The Ringwraith Witch King Angmar was right behind him, but it was impossible for mortals to see it.

As he went out, Evil Eye ordered, "Remember, follow me three paces behind." So the ringwrath kept that position.

The two carved doors, with black iron hinged hubs, two dragon head decorations, and gleaming brass knockers, were not just very tall in the eyes of a nine-year-old boy, but tall enough for a giant to pass through, enough to make the boy standing beside the Ringwraith look short enough.

"Whose kid are you? This is not the place to be. ”

A row of heavily armed soldiers, with completely enclosed helmets, made them all look the same, they were wearing armor, they were strong, their movements were smooth, and the placket was decorated with a roaring dragon head.

"I am the illegitimate son of the royal family, the son of your former prince and Israel, the former commander of the Forbidden Army."

The guards at the palace gate were surprised by such an answer, and whispered to each other in their ears. Evil Eye didn't feel any discomfort with this, and he had gradually become accustomed to the muttering of a few people behind him wherever he went.

"Shut up, you're the King's Praetorian Guard, not a few dogs sniffing each other's assholes."

The commander of this group of Praetorian Guards, judging by the six-leaf clover brooch he was wearing, was supposed to be a knight.

The knight turned his head and continued to stare at the evil eye, with no criticism in his eyes, not even curiosity. He didn't show any emotion, just waited for the evil eye to explain further, "Even if he is the son of Israel, what qualifications do he have to enter this gate." ”

Until he saw with his own eyes that the unbeatably dressed and unusually calm boy in front of him took out a badge from his arms.

"That's the king's purple and gold badge, long live Dande! Long live the King! ”

A platoon of heavily armed Praetorian Guards all touched the ground on one knee with the maneuvers trained by soldiers.

Every Praetorian Guard knows that the King's Purple Gold Badge is very important, and in addition to being used as a token, it should be respected by anyone, anywhere in the Dander Kingdom. The knights, including the gatekeepers, also had to slowly touch the ground on one knee to pay their respects to the badge.

"I'm not going to deny who I am, and to do that would be treason. At the same time, I don't agree that I am not qualified to enter this gate, I have royal blood in my veins, even if I am an illegitimate child. It's like you swear that your life belongs to the king, and that can never change. ”

Looking at each other at eye level, the knight was surprised by every word of the evil eye, and from the child's eyes, the knight seemed to see a soul that could bear heavy things.

"It's because of who you are, so it's just a misunderstanding." He said the words in passing, and just as the knight searched for some vague answers, the sound of his next sentence died in his throat.

"It's because of who I am, so it's not just a misunderstanding."

Staring at the back of the evil eye, the knight fell silent, and then a surprised voice blurted out, "I have always believed that what kind of blood is what kind of person you will become. I have been the servant of His Highness Israel Nance, and I welcome you back to your rightful place,...... Your Highness! ”

Hearing this unruly title of His Highness, the evil eye turned around and was surprised to see the knight take off his helmet and look at him, and the expression on the knight's face was both sad and excited.

"Israel's servant, well, a good knight." The evil eye made such an evaluation in his heart.

In fact, even the Evil Eye was a little surprised that the badge left by the previous prince Israel was so useful. He passed through several gates in succession without hindrance, and whenever he showed his badge, everyone who saw it flinched and hurriedly backed away to give way.

Perhaps the badge would allow the Black Prison to release Nadine, but the Evil Eye immediately rejected the idea after thinking about it. Because doing so will not only make the high-ranking prince more annoyed and angry, but it will not help at all.
