Chapter 81: The Princess and the Old Man

In the palace district of the city of Kagersi, there is a complex of palaces with a strong exotic style, where is the diplomatic envoy area and the embassy.

The Duchy of Donglan does not have an embassy in the Orlan Empire, and in a temporary villa, even if it is late at night, a certain girl who has been deceived is still angry.

"Damn Dassos! I didn't say that when we were invited! This is fraud, this is an insult to the whole principality! ”

The fourteen-year-old girl was throwing a tantrum in the room, but unfortunately, she was only facing her attendant sister with a wry smile.

"Yes, they deceived us, but as a small country, what can we do. Do you preach it out and resolutely refuse to obey it? I'm afraid that they will immediately see it as an insult to the empire and the new king, and start an all-out war, and I'm afraid, this is also the reason they need to go to bell. ”

Yes, this time the Duchy of Donglan did not mean to become a subordinate country at all, Princess Renee was only tricked, and in the same way, there were several small countries that insisted on refusing to be subordinate.

"According to the current development form, the rise of the Orlan Empire has become unstoppable, when other countries promise to be vassals, if we insist on not being subordinate, we will inevitably make us a thorn in everyone's side, and just to maintain the dignity of a great power, the Orlan Empire must also crusade against us, and just ended the war with the orcs, our current national strength can afford this war."

This is a clear fake show, in order to overwhelm people, Renee gritted her teeth.

"Yes, they saw through that, and they deceived us. But Sister Kelly, didn't you say that? Arashi's bloodline will never give in! We fought with them. ”

The wood elf woman in front of her is the court teacher Calebrian, who has served the royal family of Arashi for nearly five hundred years, referred to as Kelly.

She has taught more than 20 monarchs of the royal family, and is even the enlightenment teacher of the legendary Gemini, with a high prestige in the country and the trust of the royal family.

"Therefore, if the historic Arashi bloodline can be brought to its knees this time, Daxos and the Oran Kingdom will surely gain a higher reputation. And if we don't give in, he will find a reason to go to war. No matter how we deal with it, he won't suffer. will play tricks and tricks like this. ”

"Why? Aren't we all human beings? Why is it more difficult to deal with than the evil orcs. ”

The face of the young princess was full of tiredness. These days in Kagersi City, facing the nobles with honey swords, she feels that it is more difficult to deal with than the battlefield of war and gunpowder.

"Heh, it's because they're all humans. Your Highness, have you forgotten the fall of the Arashi Kingdom? What did Arashi no Kuni get in the end for guarding the borders of the entire human society for generations. It is the shameless betrayal of the nations of mankind and the heresy of the Church. It's the slash in the vest, never trust the foolish, short-sighted, and dishonest human kings, and the gods of order who have no faith to speak of. ”

Although smiling slightly. The soft words of the green-haired wood elves were a distrust of the gods of human society and order.

"Moreover, if you agree to sign the Subject Nation Entente, then, your approval rating at home will plummet, or, this is also one of their purposes, after all, the Arashi bloodline has caused them a lot of pain, and your previous cousin should have made them wary. Perhaps, this is the reason why they disregard face and set us up. ”

Renee was immediately dumbfounded, and then her face was full of incredulity, just because she was too good at the orc invasion? In order to suppress his own prestige and force himself and the Donglan Principality to bow their heads, they came to a forced subordinate?

"Impossible!"

"No, it's highly likely. Who told you that you have two famous ancestors, and Lan's bloodline is even more talented. Naturally, they will be very wary. Plus you and the twin princes have similar faces, no, they're exactly the same. No matter if there was another demonic invasion, or the night of Difender, they couldn't stand it. ”

As they spoke, both of them turned their eyes to the oil paintings on the walls, which were battle-torn battlefields, and the young generals were marching forward with their flags.

It was a pair of twins, the sword-wielding boy was raising his sword in mid-air to slash, the golden holy light shining him like a god descending to earth, but even in the most fierce and desperate time on the battlefield, he still had a smile of harmony and sunshine, as if there was a smooth road in front of him.

Behind him, another boy with the same countenance, holding a sword in his left hand and a wand in his right, the flames from hell were burning on his right arm, and his immature face was full of anger.

Behind them are the heroic charging knights, and in front of them are the endless orcs and demons, and in the corner of the picture, the flags of the human countries are faintly seen, expressing the artist's anger and dissatisfaction.

It is a replica of the famous painting "The Last Princes" of the Principality of Tolan,

"Highness Roland and Cavins? Sister Kelly, are they really that powerful? Wouldn't it be much better if they were in the situation I am in now? ”

Renee was a little frustrated, and this feeling of shame for her ancestors made her feel powerless.

"Don't say it, you've done a good job."

Kelly shook her head.

"This comparison is meaningless, Renee is Renee, the Twin Princes are the Twin Princes, if Cavins is in your position, it is estimated that the only option is to kill with a sword, then the situation is even worse."

"In other words, if His Highness Roland is here, maybe the situation will be very different?"

Renee was keenly aware of the hidden meaning in Kelly's words, and was even more frustrated.

Hearing this, Kelly was stunned at first, and then showed a nostalgic smile.

"Roland, if it were him, he wouldn't have let himself fall into such a passive situation in the first place, that kid looks sunny and cheerful, but in fact, his stomach is full of bad water, it's enough for him not to pit others, and he will let others pit him? Cavins is 100% fooled, but most of the time he will go straight regardless of it, but he will often rush out with brute force without reason. ”

Renee is a little curious, the sister Kelly in front of her is a real royal patriarch and a living library, but it has always been. She doesn't like to talk about the past very much, and at this time, she has a rare opportunity, and she has to seize the opportunity to ask.

"Well, Sister Kelly, can you tell me about the deeds of those two Highnesses? Are they really as powerful as the legend says? ”

Renee leaned weakly on Kelly's body, letting the other party weave her own pigtails and touch up her makeup, which has been her daily habit in the past two years.

Thicken the eyebrows, outline the eyeliner, and remove excess hair. Use powder makeup to cover up overly fair skin tones. Under Kelly's skillful hand, the distinction between male and female faces is further blurred.

In an increasingly unfavorable situation, the Duchy of Donglan needs a heroic knight who closely resembles the legendary paladin Roland, rather than an aristocratic lady who is destined to be busy with social occasions all day.

"It's incredible, though. But in reality they are stronger than the legend. If it weren't for the outbreak of war. didn't give them enough time to grow, that era, destined to belong to the two of them. ”

Hear the words. Renee jerked her head up, and the makeup brush was crooked from her face, and the makeup took a lot of money at once.

"No, they were the same age as me when they died. No, what Sister Kelly said must be true, sure enough, I'm useless, if His Royal Highness Roland can make a decision for me. ”

"Poof."

To Renee's surprise, it was Kelly who covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Sister Kelly, what are you laughing at, I'm serious!"

"No, Renee, it's just that someone has said this before."

"Who?"

"Roland, he always said, 'Oh, it's a problem, it's a waste of my reading time, if only Cavins could do it all, then I could be lazy every day.'" ”

The legendary hero actually has such a lazy side, and Roland, who is regarded as a paladin and a model for the royal family, actually likes to be lazy and idle?

"Does His Royal Highness Roland like to read?"

"He likes it very much, whether it is art, music, literature, history, astronomy, geography, or the mess of alchemy and engineering, he likes it all, if he is not sent to the church to be a paladin, if it is not for the sudden outbreak of war later, I am afraid, he will eventually become a world-famous university scholar."

"Wait a minute, Sister Kelly, isn't he only ten years old when he was sent to be a paladin, so he can read at such a young age?"

"Both of them were able to read when they were one year old, otherwise they would not have become world-recognized geniuses. But there's a little bit of a story here. ”

"It's amazing. Tale? ”

"Well, it often takes more than a year for a normal boy to learn to walk, even if the Arashi bloodline will make children intellectually open early, but Cavins learned to walk and a few simple words only a month after he was born, which is enough to go down in history."

"His Highness Roland?"

"Hey, Cavins can walk, he's still crawling, Cavins can call Mom and Dad, he's only going to cry. And when they were a month old and we were all worried about Roland, Cavins was so strong that he started grabbing his bottle, and he finally spoke up. ”

"Loud?"

"Well, he first said to Cavins, 'Hey, boy, you're not afraid of being sliced, I'm afraid, take it easy, don't do it professionally, we're normal babies, we should learn to cry now.' Come, cry with my brother, wow, ahhhhh Come on, raise tone, whoaaa Hmph, if you dare to rob the old man's food, the old man will die for you. ’”

"A child who is only a month old knows how to hide his talents? It's incredible. ”

"How not. In the past few hundred years, I have taught a lot of geniuses of the Arashi royal family, but I have never seen such an outrageous child. Everyone in the world thinks that Cavins is a super genius, but in fact, Roland is even more outrageous, if he didn't spread his energy in various disciplines and missed the golden season of exercise, he would not be worse than Cavins. ”

"Can you tell us more about His Highness Roland?"

Looking at Renee, who was full of tiredness, Kelly stroked her hair, and kissed the girl's forehead lightly as she did when she was a child.

"Well, then, you're tired after a busy day, so let's take it as a bedtime story. Roland, though he was very smart, was also very unreliable, and once, he happily pulled me to see his new invention, and said triumphantly, 'Look, this transparent thing will definitely sell well, I call it glass, it will definitely make a lot of money, so that the life of our people will be much better.' ’”

"Was glass invented by Lord Roland? I think it was more than 6,000 years ago. ”

"Well, he didn't know it at the time, but when I sued him, his depressed face was really heartbreaking, and he was still muttering 'It's okay, then invent movable type printing'"

"Printing technology? Wasn't that long been monopolized by the god of knowledge? ”

Well, I said it at the time, and he was even more frustrated, but the next day, he began to study astronomy and biology again, and the theory of evolution of the fittest, although it seemed obviously unfounded, still made some sense in retrospect. For example, [species are not created by God and constant, they are changeable, organisms are evolved, and natural selection is the driving force of biological evolution, and organisms have a tendency to overreproduce, and living space and food are limited, so organisms must fight for survival]"

"Aren't mortal beings made by the gods? Not all life originates from the source of order, the abyss of chaos. This is a blatant lie. ”

"Well, but he didn't get frustrated, and soon found a new toy, he has always been like this, he never knew what it meant to be discouraged and give up, even if the war began, he quickly went from a rookie to a real god of war, if it weren't for the fact that we were facing a hundred times more enemies......"

Tiredness and anger accumulated, and soon, as she spoke, Renee fell asleep, and Kelly fell into deep thought as she watched the girl take off her armor.

The armor was ornate, with a Mithril heavy appearance, but in fact it was just soft armor coated with light alloys, even lighter than leather armor.

It is impossible for the Arashi bloodline to produce geniuses, Renee is not a genius powerhouse, not even a qualified warrior, what is the difference between a fourteen-year-old black iron beginner warrior and a civilian.

In those three thousand miles of charge, she was only responsible for raising the flag and shouting slogans, trembling and taking the lead, if she really met her opponent, any orc could easily kill her in seconds.

But it's a pity that the current Donglan Principality is worried about internal and external troubles, and it does need an ancient heroic knight princess, Renee has sacrificed a lot, but according to the current development, she will continue to sacrifice, even if that effort is likely not to be exchanged for a single return, and even what awaits her can only be notoriety and the incomprehension of the people.

"Well, maybe Renee is right, this burden is too heavy for her. Roland, where the hell are you? ”

Kelly stroked the short knife at her waist, and at the hilt of the short knife, two dragons were surrounding each other, and two night pearls were embedded in it, emitting a white and black light.

This is the lamp of life, is the royal family has a lot of secret methods, when the royal family members are just born, take their first drop of blood to hold a ceremony, then, this bead becomes his lamp of life, if the lamp is extinguished, it means that the person is dead, this can also be used to avoid the royal family members being counterfeited.

And this decorative short knife with two beads is the lamp of life for the twins - Roland and Cavins.

"The lamp of life in Cavins is getting darker and darker, and it seems that he is completely falling into chaos, but Roland ......"

The situation of Roland's lamp of life is very strange, it is lit at once, extinguished at once, turned white at once, blackened at once, and transformed repeatedly.

A hundred years ago, the black even surpassed Cavins, and not long ago he had strangely extinguished, and after two months he had become bright and white again.

"If this lamp of life reflects the real situation, Roland is still in the world, and his life should be very exciting."

Inexplicably, the blade trembled slightly, as if summoned by something, Kelly instinctively stood up, looked over, but found a figure under the tree.

"Roland!!"

But when I looked closely, I saw that it was just a willow tree fluttering in the wind.

Shaking her head, Kelly closed the window.

"Oh, it seems that like Renee, I'm looking forward to a reliable shoulder."

And in the corner she didn't find, under the window, the righteous teeth of the figure with a silver mask itched.

"Dassos, if you dare to hit the attention of the country of Arashi, I will make you worse than the ending in history!" (To be continued......)
