Chapter 18: The Princess Arrives

"Look, is that flag the Kingdom of Pfister!?" In the village of Custer, a sentry on a guard tower looked into the distance and spotted a well-formed and well-equipped army heading in the direction of the village.

"Oh!!That's someone from the royal capital, go and inform the young master!"

Eliza sat on her horse and entered the village of Custer with a smile on her face, while the soldiers behind her entered in an orderly manner. The villagers gathered on either side of the gate, casting hopeful glances at Eliza and the soldiers. For them, there was no more surprising message than the royal capital sending people. And the village chief had been waiting in front of Eliza for a long time, and Eliza jumped off her horse and walked in front of the village chief.

"You're finally here! We've been waiting for the people of the royal capital for a long, long time!" the village chief's eyes moistened, and he excitedly went up and shook Eliza's hand. Eliza smiled at outsiders and responded, "Yes, we received a message from Culest in the royal capital that he was harassing Kast. So I asked my father to send troops to station. ”

"Father...... Father, are you, Your Royal Highness the Princess?!" The village chief exclaimed, He Cheng thought that the royal family of the royal capital would personally lead the troops here. What's more, it's the king's daughter, Her Royal Highness the Princess. Behind him, an adjutant walked up to the village chief and said, "This is the daughter of King Pfister VIII, Her Highness Eliza Pfister. ”

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, your Highness Eliza, let me show you around this place first!" the village chief nodded, and walked towards the village. And Eliza smiles all the way, doubling the favor of the villagers.

And at this moment, Herbert Manor. Theodore soaked in the bath, enjoying a brief moment of peace with his eyes closed. The comfortable water temperature washed away all the tiredness of the previous period at once, and some time ago I accompanied the villagers to build protective measures on the perimeter of the village.

After soaking for a while, Alan knocked on the door and said, "Young master, a guest has come to the door." It is Her Royal Highness Eliza of the royal capital. Herbert opened his eyes and thought for a moment about Eliza. I suddenly remembered that my father had told me about her before, and it was said that she was the third daughter of the king. Her talent and appearance are all first-class, which can't help but make Theodore interested in her.

"Tell her to wait a minute, and I'll come down at once. Theodore got up from the bath, picked up a yukata and put it on.

At this moment, Eliza sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup of freshly brewed, steaming black tea in her hand, sometimes taking a sip elegantly. The servants of Herbert Manor all knew Eliza, and when Eliza was a child, Alan and everyone were members of the Knights of the Royal Capital.

Theodore Herbert walked slowly down the stairs in his yukata and looked at the girl who was sitting on the couch. Eliza turned her head to look at Theodore, and Clara in Theodore's body reacted to him at once

"She has no human scent on her, this smell is demonic. Hearing this, Theodore walked and was just about to walk down, when his steps hung in the air, and the whole person was stunned.

"You mean the princess from the royal capital is a demon?" Theodore muttered to himself. Clara responded, "This smell can't be wrong, how can a human have such a strong taste." ”

Eliza tilted her head and wondered, "What's wrong with you?" Mr. Theodore?"

Theodore didn't respond, just walked down the stairs step by step, and then walked to the seat directly opposite Eliza and sat down. The two sides didn't say anything, just silently drank the black tea in the cup. And when Eliza looked at Theodore just now, she saw something different. There was a dragon and a statue inside him, much to Eliza's surprise. Then it calmed down

"Herberts, it seems that you are the son of Mr. Peter?" Eliza was the first to speak, breaking the silence. Theodore replied with a smile on his face, "Yes, Peter Herbert is my father. Miss must be Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I heard my father talk about you in Cust. Extraordinary talent and outstanding appearance. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. ”

"You're complimenting, it's just learning the basics. So, can you please let me have a few words with Mr. Theodore alone?" Eliza waved her hand, and then Alan walked out of the living room with the lieutenant and a few of the minions. The entire living room was left with Theodore and Eliza, who looked into Theodore's eyes. Theodore was trying to avoid it, not daring to look at people. Eliza stood up, put down her teacup in her hand, and strolled behind Theodore.

"It's been a long time, Miss Clara. I wonder if you're okay?" said Eliza whispering, leaning into Theodore's ear. Theodore was stunned, how could she know about Clara's existence?

"I really didn't expect that the daughter of the human king was actually a demon. It's just a mid-level little devil who dares to be presumptuous in front of me like this. Clara scoffed, and Eliza sat on the arm of Theodore's couch and smiled in response, "You're not the same, you're going to possess a human now." It seems that the Ancestral Dragon King is nothing more than that."

Although Theodore didn't quite understand what was going on, the only thing he could figure out was that the two of them were talking to each other in a bit of a rivalry. It's like an enemy

"Mr. Theodore, it seems that you have a bad-tempered dragon living in your body. Would you like to help you out?" Eliza licked the lower flap of her mouth and whispered into Theodore's ear. Clara yelled, "I can hear it, I'm not deaf!"

"That...... Can you explain to me the relationship between you? I'm a little confused......" Theodore blushed and hurriedly stepped back and said awkwardly

"I'm enemies with this guy, so I can't talk. Clara said angrily, and Eliza patted Theodore on the shoulder and responded, "Eh, we have fought side by side together." Don't say such cold words. ”

Later, Theodore gradually heard from the conversation between the two people what the relationship between the two people was. During the Second Race War, Clara fought with Eliza. But the two often had conflicts because of disagreements, and even almost fought a few times. If it weren't for the relatives of both sides, before they went to the front line to fight, they would have fought on their own side first.

"You bastard, if you don't go to the king, play your princess well. What are you doing here," Clara scolded

"Keep your mouth clean, I'm a princess anyway. Of course, it's time to have a good time here, and I'm almost recovered. So think about it and see if it can still be done in real combat. Eliza snapped her fingers, and a pair of large black feather wings sprouted from her back. His eyes gradually darkened

"Cut, it's still like this. Sooner or later, pluck out the feathers of your wings," Clara scolded, and Eliza exclaimed, "I heard that!"

Theodore looked at Eliza and said, "And how many people did you bring with you this time?" Eliza took her wings back, and then gestured five fingers, "Five hundred kings are guarded, plus a demon." How's that, it's strong enough!" Eliza puffed out her chest proudly

"Five hundred, why don't you bring some more?" Theodore wondered

Eliza immediately showed a poor expression and cried, "The defenders of the royal capital are only three thousand, and that old king has always taken some extra money from the treasury to expand his army. The standing army of the whole country is only 30,000 people, and it is very good to be able to pull out 500 people. What's more, there is still me, what are you afraid of. ”

Theodore thought about it carefully, and in addition to the three hundred militiamen, the current combat strength in the village was also Allen's old knights. Then now it is also integrated into Eliza and the five hundred regular army of the royal capital, in case the enemy has an opponent of the strength of the last time. I'm afraid that the current combat strength is still not enough to defend, but this is only Theodore's thoughts. Although the Knights of Allen have not participated in a battle for several years, after all, everyone is the elite of the elite. It was relatively easy to face ordinary soldiers, and the royal capital guards led by Eliza. Every soldier is a child of a middle-stage aristocratic family, and he is quite strong in terms of combat effectiveness and organization. The most important thing is Eliza, the demon, in Clara's cognition, Eliza is only a mid-level demon race. But she's learned to use mid-to-high-level magic spells, plus her previous combat experience. He had already reached the level of destroying the country, but now Theodore always thought that the enemy would have an enemy who was strong enough to destroy several races.

But the reality is that the current combat power of Custer is enough to destroy a country.
