126, Naga Naga
Talos does not have the habit of staying in bed, and since he was seven years old when he received his magical initiation, he has strictly followed the schedule arranged for him by Sandra herself, and it is the norm to get up early to train after becoming a bloodline knight.
However, because the image of [Jealousy] yesterday made him feel too depressed, Talos decided to give it a small lease and cancel his morning exercise.
So by the time he got out of bed, it was 12 o'clock in the morning.
Talos stretched — and perhaps added a lazy tail, as his eight-foot-long tail also needed to be curled, straightened, and flipped for movement and relaxation after more than normal sleep — and sank his mind into the Ring of the Magic Web as usual to check the news.
Today's news interface is not the same color as usual, unified black and white, without a single color.
The solemn atmosphere made Talos immediately realize that the ruler of the Naga Kingdom might have returned to the arms of the goddess of the sea while he was still asleep.
Talos looked at the headlines, and sure enough, it was an obituary issued by the royal family.
"It is with our deepest hearts that we announce the death of Hon, the goddess of the sea, Queen of the Naga Kingdom, protector of the faith, protector of the state religion, and lord of the most honorable knights of St. Hasima, Turandot I passed away at 3:15 a.m. today......"
"It's finally this point in time. ”
The Queen's death means that Talos and Leonhard and Emma have come to the capital city of Hasima this time to deal with the things that need to be dealt with, attend the Queen's funeral, and support the eldest princess to succeed to the throne as the new king.
In exchange, Sandra would take the position of Grand Duke upon the eldest princess's succession, giving the Nepton family and the Black Sea a step further in the kingdom and establishing the Black Sea Duchy.
-- The pre-signed contract of divine power effectively guarantees the fulfillment of the commitments of both parties.
Once the Duchy was established, the power and prestige of the Nepton family reached unprecedented heights, and Sandra was able to surpass all the patriarchs and lords of the past dynasties in one fell swoop.
The basic rules of the Divine World determine that the Duchy is the limit that the magic family can reach, and once it takes one step further, it will be an enemy of the Church - the founder of the dynasty can only be a fifth-order bloodline!
However, what really made Talos look forward to it was that when the duchy was established, he would receive a princely title, and Sandra had already told him that his future fiefdom would be an undersea city called Gorgon.
"I have watched so many fairy tales for princes and princesses, but I didn't expect that one day I would be one of them, interesting. ”
Humming a tune he had just learned from the magic net, Talos left the room, his tail swimming a little wider than usual in the water, and complained to Emma, who was the first to be seen in the living room, "The queen has passed away, and you didn't inform me of such important news in time." ”
But as soon as he said that, Talos regretted it, because there were two other guests in the living room, Schneider and the two patriarchs of the Heinrich family, sitting at a round table with Leonhard, who seemed to be discussing things.
Although the former is his grandmother and the latter is Emma's future mother-in-law, the Heinrich family and the Nepton family have always had a good marriage relationship for generations, but yelling in front of outsiders never looks polite or educated.
"I've tried, but you'll sleep soundly. Emma said with a smile.
"Good day!" Talos chuckled dryly, greeted the two patriarchs, and sat down beside Emma.
Yuriye didn't mind this, she nodded at Talos, and then said to Emma, "You're right, there's no need to tell your brother about this kind of headache, we can take care of the troubles." ”
"For a big aristocrat like us, as long as the boy doesn't leave his strength behind, he can do whatever he wants. Tal has done a very good job of this, and now he has been promoted to the second rank, which is faster than Maximilian's headache boy. ”
Talos, who was about to take the fruit on the table, silently withdrew his hand, and the smile that had just been raised was a little cracked.
I'm sorry, did he just hear some kind of very subtle remark, something like "girls don't need to do PhDs"?
"By the way, Princess Anna is definitely not a good choice, Prince Hasima (the traditional title of the prince of the Naga Kingdom) looks beautiful on the surface, but there are too many things to worry about, heir succession, state visits...... Fortunately, Prince Sheldon had passed away fifty years ago, otherwise he would have to watch the eldest princess and the third princess duel it out today. ”
Before Yuriye shared more life experiences and experiences, Talos hurriedly defended: "No, no, no, you think too much, grandma, Princess Anna is just taking me back to Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to revisit the campus, yes, that's it, there is no relationship between us, not at all." ”
If Talos doesn't have a soul fire and is a Naga with no ambitions or ambitions, to be honest, Princess Anna is indeed a good choice.
The eldest daughter of the eldest princess Vanessa, the future eldest princess, the leader of the younger generation of the kingdom, will inherit the throne in the future, and he will be the royal husband of the Naga Kingdom at that time, which can be described as quite respectable in terms of status and glory.
However, the memories and soul fire of his previous life doomed him not to limit himself to the world, and after experiencing a plane descending, the ambition in his heart was like a weed, which could grow wildly everywhere as long as a spring breeze.
Yuriye looked at Talos, the grandson who had brought her too many surprises, and something called satisfaction made the smile on her face even brighter: "I know, I know, of course, if you can choose one of Charlotte, Margaret, Sophie, and Olivia...... You know, I'm happier. ”
"Alright, Mother, we can talk about Talos in private. Receiving his son's pleading look, Leonhard threw an apologetic smile at Martha, dissuading Yuriye, who was about to say something, "Now, let's turn our attention back to work. ”
"If this sentence were for the Black Sea Lord himself, I am afraid the effect would be better. Yuriye complained in a not very good tone.
The patriarch of the Schneider family is also apparently still angry at Sandra's efforts to push Leonhard to Hasima on such an important matter as handling the Queen's funeral and supporting the eldest princess's succession to the throne, while she herself remains in the Black Sea.
"Hmm...... She clearly had a reason to make that decision. Leonhard patted the back of Yuriet's hand and explained good-naturedly, "Time is of the essence, and I promise to give you a satisfactory answer in the future." ”
Yuriye did not speak.
"I also guarantee that Tal will not have anything to do with Princess Anna. Leonhard secretly made an apologetic gesture towards Talos.
"Great, time waits for no one, where did we just go?"
