Kerst took Feda, Princess Monica, and Lolita and flew back to the capital of the Kaman Kingdom.

As a Mosat, Rika was the first time to come to Kaman, the capital of the neighboring country, and the peaceful atmosphere of the Kaman royal capital was something she had never felt in the Duchy of Mossart, and she did not regret her decision.

After entering the royal capital, several people immediately rushed to the Duke's castle and returned to the royal capital from the banks of the Red Water River, and several days had passed on the way, and everyone was also a little worried, especially Princess Monica and Koster.

Fortunately, after seeing Xiao Mu, who was the regent of Carman in luxurious clothes, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, judging from the outfit on Xiao Mu's body, the old duke was still alive.

"You don't have to worry, the old man is not dead, said the captain of the Potter guard, and there are probably more than ten days left. Then the old man left a letter for me, Monica, and Koster, each of them. The old man meant, let him spend the last days quietly. ”

Monica and Kerst were silent, and Lolita stepped forward and stroked Monica's back, and Monica raised her head, "I'm fine, Lolita." Then he took a step forward towards Xiao Mu, "Bring it!"

"What, what?" Xiao Mu was puzzled.

"Faith, old man's letter. Monica's eyes widened, and she was about to get angry.

"Oh, here I am. Xiao Mu hurriedly took out two rolled parchments from his arms, looked at them briefly, and then handed one to Monica and one to Kester.

Monica took the letter and didn't open it immediately, but slowly put it away, "Lolita, let's go back." He didn't say goodbye to everyone, but turned around and left.

When Monica's figure disappeared into the distant aisle, Xiao Mu told Kester, "The old man has liked Monica since he was a child, and he has always cultivated her as the heir of the duke of the Duchy of Carman. As for my sister, she has always been excellent, and everything is handled in an orderly manner. It's just that I didn't expect that my sister has always had her own thoughts in her heart. Therefore, after taking the initiative to give up the duke's inheritance and choose to practice magic, she herself felt quite guilty about the old man. ”

"I understand how it feels. Kerst patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder in agreement, "Let her calm herself, Feida", and Caster instructed Ferda, "You can go too, you don't have to accompany me, go and accompany Lolita and the princess." ”

Feida answered yes and left, leaving only Kerst and Xiao Mu in the house.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Xiao Mu's expression and tone relaxed, "Kester, you are really good, I know that I didn't mistake you!"

Kerst smiled sheepishly, "Where, where." ”

"How about it, I heard that you took in a beautiful female guard in Mosat, and Feida is not jealous?" Xiao Mu squeezed his eyes.

"Nothing!" Kerst looked righteous!

"Don't fool people, I know everything, it's called Rika, she's thirty years old, how beautiful she looks, let me see..."

Kester was teased by Xiao Mu in frustration, "I let her stay outside the Duke's Castle, the first time she came here, I let her visit the royal capital by herself." ”

Xiao Mu laughed, "You dare to lie to me, she is your guard, you actually let her go shopping alone, and say that you have no idea." Tell me, what are you trying to do!"

After a period of commotion, Kester left the Duke's castle, and Xiao Mu gave Kester a vacation to rest and recover, and then consider the old Duke's proposal in the letter. When Kerst asked if Mu knew what the content was, Mu vehemently denied it. However, Kerst knew that with Xiao Mu's person, he must have peeked at it.

Eight days later, the news of the Duke's death came from the Duke's Castle, the low sound of the horn resounded in the corners of the royal capital, and the golden jasmine heraldic flag on the Duke's Castle was half folded (Note 1), and Xiao Mu and Monica, as the old Duke's only two children, received the people's condolences in the square in front of the Duke's castle. Xiao Mu gave his last speech on behalf of the old duke, and the manuscript of the speech was dictated by the old duke, to the effect that he reviewed his life and his expectations for the Duchy of Carman.

Duke Muscala, who took over the position of Duke of Kaman at the age of twenty, became the leader of the Duchy of Kaman. By the time he was forty-five years old, the old duke, tired of state affairs, handed over state affairs to his eldest daughter, Princess Monica Mu, and lived in seclusion in the ducal castle. It has always been rumored in the Duke's castle that the old duke was a wise and resolute man, and his life's ideal was to carry forward the magic handed down by the Carman family, not to govern the Duchy of Kaman.

But after the seclusion, Duke Carman was not close to his two children, especially his son Roysmu, who was almost raised by his sister Princess Monica. Therefore, the affection of the duke's family has always been a little weak in the eyes of outsiders, and it was only at the final mourning ceremony that Köster found that it was all appearances. Monica, who had always been grinning and grinning, regained her composure when she was regent of Carman on that day, and her sad expression lasted all day.

When night fell, she left the square without saying a word, and locked herself in her room in the castle, which even Xiao Mu and Lolita could not enter. Xiao Mu quietly told Koster that in fact, Monica and his father have a very deep relationship, perhaps, this is how two smart people communicate with each other, he always feels that he is a little unable to interject in front of the two of them. Monica is her father's favorite child.

Three days later, two luxurious carriages drove out of the Kaman royal capital, one in front sat Koster and Feida, the attendant Rika rode outside the car, and in the latter carriage, Princess Monica and Lolita sat in the back. I don't know for what purpose, Monica actually agreed to this suggestion.

So, a group of several people, after staying in the royal capital for a short time, went to the Koster Manor.

In the carriage, Feida was resting quietly, and Koster, at last, had time to open the old duke's letter to him. The letter was an ordinary piece of parchment, and Xiao Mu said that it was dictated by the duke, and the chief of the Potter guard recorded it himself, which was basically the last words left by the duke.

"Lord Koster, I, the old duke, am about to leave this world, as a father, I have high hopes and deep satisfaction for Xiao Mu's growth, for you, as Xiao Mu's friend, you have fulfilled the obligations and responsibilities of a principality nobleman. The performance of these days has made me believe that I have not chosen the wrong person, and that you are the friend and helper that Xiao Mu needs.

I will leave the world, and the Principality of Kaman will live forever, our small country in the western part of the continent, which has lasted for more than a thousand years since the first generation of the Grand Priest of Kaman, although the land has always been so remote and small, but we have a long history. However, the situation on the mainland has been very extreme in recent years, and I am afraid that in the near future, war will come again. I hope that when the time comes, you will be able to help Xiao Mu and support our Duchy of Kaman, which is my only wish as Duke Kaman.

In fact, Koster, your father, your father's father, and even your father's father's father, have always been the best friends of Duke Carman's family. I know your father died young, and there are many things you don't know. But believe me, the Koster family has always been a loyal helper of the Carman family, and the friendship between the two families is as long as the history of the Principality of Kaman.

Your father once asked me to take good care of his children and grandchildren after his death, of course, now it seems that you are the only one for the time being. The most gratifying thing for me and your father is that without special care, you have become an excellent aristocratic young man.

Now, what I am about to say is what your father has told me to convey to you, and you must remember it and understand it at the right time. In the east of the San Jose Empire, near the Long Sea, there is a small town called "Donghai Town", this town has a special location, from the geographical point of view, he and San Jose's capital Kyoto City, the mouth of the Morro River just in a triangular position. The town is not very large, and to the east of it, there is the famous landscape "Changhai Cliff". It was a row of huge sea cliffs hundreds of grams high and dozens of miles long, and next to the sea cliffs, there was an endless long sea.

Kester, you have to remember that at the right opportunity, you need to go to the "East Sea Town". Forgive me, I can't say anything more clearly, why you're going, what happens there, I don't know any of these things. Your father just asked me to convey this matter, and the rest of the content needs to be discovered by yourself.

By the way, Caster, don't be too long-winded with me, a dying old man, I have one last thing. My daughter, Monica Mu, was a lively, inquisitive girl who wanted to be a great magician. And I, because of my selfish thoughts, did not want to take on the state affairs of the Principality of Kaman, and in the past few years, I put the burden of the country on Monica's shoulders.

And Monica, oh, she's such a kind girl, silently taking on pressure that shouldn't have been on her. So, Koster, as the son of my good friend, the handsome and agile Lord Koster, would you like to marry my daughter, Monica? Please don't reject me now, take a good look at Monica, you will find that she is a very suitable noble wife.

Okay, that's all, Koster, come on, the future and hope are all in you young people. ”

Kester looked at the contents of the parchment letter, and was in a trance for a while, he never thought that in this letter, the old duke actually revealed such a big secret, and his own Kster family has always been a good friend and ally of the duke's family. Could it be that back then, the encounter between himself and Xiao Mu was also an arrangement.

There is also "Donghai Town", my father actually left such a task for himself, and it was conveyed through Lord Duke Kaman, why is that.

As for Monica, oh my God, the old duke really wanted to marry this "crazy woman" to himself.

Three things, one more exaggerated than the other, and one more than the other, made Kerst feel uncalm for a long time. And when the heart of the Chester was surging, the carriage gradually approached the Chester Manor at the foot of Sunset Mountain.

Note 1: After the death of a great nobleman, in his own fiefdom, his heraldic banner must be folded in half for three days as a sign of mourning for the great nobleman.
