Chapter Eighty-Nine: Identity
Julian, after completing this simple but ceremonial edict, sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, his shoulders twitching slightly, as if he were crying silently.
Mu Lan sighed, then gently stroked his shoulder, Julian's body stiffened, and then suddenly hugged the girl in front of him.
I rarely experience the hug of the opposite sex, and when I was young, I seemed to have been picked up by my uncle, but the relationship between the two became more and more stiff when I grew up, and as for my father or boyfriend, she had never seen this kind of creature, let alone mention.
Julian is not as tall as other native adults, he is more like a teenager who has just transformed into a man, although his chest is not generous, but his strength is very great, Mu Lan was almost out of breath when he hugged him, he was very stunned when he was just hugged, but after thinking about it, he still didn't push away this depressed big boy.
Mu Lan could feel the violent beating in Julian's chest, and after a moment, his breathing finally calmed down.
"I'm going to be strangled to death by you." Mu Lan said helplessly.
When Julian heard this, he immediately let go of his arms, there was a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes, and he looked at Mu Lan and lowered his head a little embarrassed, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I was rude." ”
The two pairs of big hands like pincers finally let go, Mu Lan exhaled happily, seeing that Julian's mood had improved a lot, and he didn't care about his abruptness.
Seeing that Julian was still silent, Mu Lan raised her eyebrows and said with an inexplicable smile, "Now, can you tell me your identity?" ”
Julian raised his head, his blue eyes staring directly at Mu Lan, but he immediately avoided the girl's gaze, and remained silent and did not speak.
Mu Lan didn't want him to continue to be silent, she said slowly: "I have observed you, your behavior and conversation are incompatible with other people, your etiquette is always just right, and there is such a thing as temperament that cannot be hidden." ”
Julian still didn't speak, and Mu Lan continued: "Your guards are extremely loyal, and they can even give their lives for you, it is not an accident that those black knights appear again, their target is only you." ”
Julian's shoulders moved, and he slowly looked at the girl in front of him, his expression a little flustered and a little wary of being exposed to lies.
Mu Lan looked at the guard named Sacco, his expression before he died was so solemn and enthusiastic, she said lightly: "There is also the identity that can give people the status of a knight, all things are combined and analyzed, you must be a superior person." ”
"The superior ......," Julian muttered to himself, and then said with a wry smile: "Is there a superior like me, who hides in Tibet every day and is hunted down like a reservoir dog?" ”
Mu Lan didn't answer, but just looked at Julian with a firm gaze.
Julian knew there was no need to hide it anymore, and his gaze looked beyond the corpse of the guard into the distance, and many memories flooded back.
"I am the second in line to the throne of the Kingdom of Norsval, the second son of King Leiden, and the second prince of this country."
After he said this, Mu Lan was not surprised at all, some conjectures in her heart, those hidden clues were forming a closed loop little by little.
"My name is Julian Frenwihill Claudius, and Claudius is the name of the royal family of this country, my father, King Leyton II."
Mu Lan nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Julian seemed to recall what frightened and painful him, he clenched his fists, and said tensibly: "My father's original favored successor is my brother, Prince Reims, the first in line to the throne, but my brother died unexpectedly in a war with a rebel lord, and my father's health was already not good, and after the news was transmitted back to the royal capital, he was filled with grief and soon fell ill. ”
"I was urgently summoned back to the royal capital from the territory, but the royal capital was already under the control of my uncle Drahhi, who had already proclaimed himself regent and mastered the Praetorian Guard, slaughtered all the courtiers who opposed him, and killed my brothers and sisters, but fortunately, the soldiers loyal to the king fought to protect me, and finally helped me escape from the royal capital."
Julian sighed as he spoke, "Then I will hide like a lost dog, and those black knights will hunt me down all over the country, but fortunately, my loyal guards will protect me to the death, so that I can stand in front of you alive." ”
Mu Lan showed a deeply sympathetic expression towards Julian, and then asked a key question: "So the purpose of your visit to Wellenburg?" ”
"My territory is in the southern foothills of the Frozen Mountains of the North, and Willenburg is within my territory, and General Roland is a man loyal to my father, and I disguised myself as a caravan to seek refuge in my territory."
"Does Oaktown's troop movement have anything to do with you?" Mu Lan asked.
Julian was stunned for a moment, his eyes revealing some disbelief, "You know this, too?" ”
Mu Lan nodded.
Julian smiled bitterly: "Why are you so smart, I have never seen a woman like you......"
He looked at Mu Lan's amber eyes, the all-perceptive gaze made him feel a little dazzling, avoiding Mu Lan's gaze, he said: "I suspect that the matter of the ragon forest is related to the barbarians, the rumors that the barbarians may invade have been circulating in Northval, and the northern nobles are very nervous, after all, no one wants to lose their territory and the gold coins brought by the tax, I sent someone to secretly send a message to the lord of Oak Town, of course, in an anonymous way, the lord really attaches great importance to ......"
"Now all the clues are right, why did the rumors spread in the ragon forest for half a month, and we came to Oak Town before the local lord began to move the army, why did we choose the Norswar Kingdom camp but did not fight with the barbarians for a long time, but instead triggered the main quest one after another in the poor countryside, the main god really has his own intentions."
Of course, Mu Lan's words were not for Julian, she opened the heart link and shared these thoughts with the three teammates.
"Huh? What is the purpose of the Lord God? Lan Lan, you always confuse me......" Lin Yiyi said suspiciously on the other side.
"Oops, that black-clothed guy is here, Brother Shi hammered him!"
"Shoot you!"
Lin Yiyi was in a mess over there, as if she was still fighting with the black knights.
Shi Zhengyang's voice came, and he said with a smile: "It seems that you have figured it out, tell us about it, what is the intention of the main god in this copy?" ”
Julian looked at Mu Lan strangely with a smile in her eyes but didn't speak, and secretly thought, is her experience so funny?
"The winner is king, we naturally have to fight with the other camps and finally achieve the final victory, but there are only two camps, the kingdom and the barbarians, but after knowing Julian's identity, three camps appeared." Mu Lan said softly.
