Volume 1: Pride Chapter 36: Elias Olnis
As the center of the entire Ames Empire, the king's palace was naturally located in the center of the imperial capital, so after more than two hours of destruction, Xiao Yueluo was still sitting in the carriage......
"Hey, did I say it's not there yet?"
Rubbing her somewhat sore waist, Xiao Yueluo lay on the edge of the car window, looking weak.
"It's coming soon, bear with me."
Navis was in the carriage, and he was a little speechless about the behavior of the man in the carriage, this was the first time he had seen someone ride a carriage into a death train.
"So, why prepare the carriage? Isn't it bad to give me a horse? ”
Enduring the tumbling of the river and the sea in her stomach, Xiao Yueluo kept complaining, although it was not the first time she had taken a carriage, but this time it was the longest time she had ridden.
"Hey, are you still alive?"
Seeing that the voice coming from behind him was getting quieter and quieter, Navis couldn't help but worry for a while, he had witnessed the performance of a certain woman along the way, and if it wasn't for taking care of her, he wouldn't have walked less than two hours to this point.
"It's okay......"
"It's okay." The answer behind him made Navis subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, and then took the initiative to open the topic in order to divert the attention of a certain patient, "But I'm a little curious, didn't you also take a carriage when you left the villa at the beginning?" Why not now? ”
"Oh, that's what you say...... Actually, I met a merchant on the way and sold it. ”
"Huh? You, you said it was sold! ”
"yes, sold, I remember...... At that time, it seems that a silver coin was sold. ”
Xiao Yueluo frowned, and the whole person looked a little blurred, on the other hand, Navis was full of black lines after hearing this answer, if he wasn't driving the carriage now, he really wanted to pry open the head of the person behind him to see what was inside. She sold the carriage worth two gold coins for one silver coin, and it is estimated that the buyer played her for a fool, but it is impossible for him to say this, after all, if Xiao Yueluo's temper knew this fact, it was estimated that ......
I don't think anything will happen......
Thinking of this, Navis couldn't help but burst into tears, that princess Rita who doesn't know where she is, why didn't you know how to help her make up for money at that time, why didn't you know how to help her make up for money?
"That...... May I ask how you sold the carriage and got to the next town? You know, even if it's a horse-drawn carriage, it takes nearly half a day to get there. ”
In fact, he always wanted to ask when he saw Xiao Yueluo motion sickness, of course, he wanted to ask about how motion sickness left in the carriage instead of this question, and he had not found the right time before this, of course, it was also possible that Xiao Yueluo was afraid that Xiao Yueluo would beat herself up after being annoyed and angry, but now it seems that those worries are a little redundant.
"Of course it's on horseback, otherwise how else can you go?" Although she was weak at the moment, Xiao Yueluo still used her best efforts to express her disdain.
...... "I'm TM!" So you're proud, aren't you? A carriage worth two gold coins, even if you remove the money of a horse, is still worth one gold coin!
Navis roared in his heart, but Xiao Yueluo in the carriage didn't know it.
"Well, since that's the case, then may I ask the eldest lady where your horse is?" Taking a deep breath to suppress the fire that had just ignited in his heart, Navis asked the question almost through gritted teeth.
"Ah, that...... Well, I don't remember too clearly, when did it not happen? I remember ......"
...... "I'm TM!"
The voice behind him drove Navis crazy again, but because of many precedents, he wisely did not choose to speak again at this moment, and then did not say anything all the way.
……
"Here it is."
The carriage came to a slow stop, and Navis's somewhat cold voice came to his ears, but ......
"Well, can you come and pull me along? I don't think I can move. ”
...... "I'm TM!"
So under the gaze of several guards at the door, Xiao Yueluo was carried out of the carriage by Navis in the form of a princess hug, but because of the almost equal physical height of the two, this scene looked weird in the eyes of others.
"Whew...... It's finally down, and this thing almost killed me. ”
As soon as her toes touched the ground, Xiao Yueluo recovered instantly, and although her face still looked a little pale, she was generally fine. And everyone who saw all this was directly stunned, and the worried look on Navis's face instantly turned into anger in the next moment: "You TM are no longer faint in the car, you are a pure dizzy carriage!" ”
"Eh, didn't I say it before?"
Xiao Yueluo blinked, her expression was a little innocent, but that innocent look was very dazzling to Navis, and then he took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the guards at the door: "What are you looking at over there, stand guard!" ”
A few guards: "......" MMP! Is this a lying down shot? But who's that girl? Obviously wearing a blue dress, but still carrying a giant sword, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit ......
"Hey, hurry up, don't you still want to enter the palace?" Not far away, Xiaoyueluo's urging voice was heard, and as soon as Navis turned his head, he found that the person who was still standing next to him had entered the palace at this moment......
Walking in the palace, Xiao Yueluo found that the scale here is very large, and it is different from the white of the palace of Evel, the buildings here are mainly pale gold, supplemented by white, especially in the sunlight, it looks more splendid, making people only feel ......
"It's a bit dazzling...... Xiao Yueluo rubbed her eyes, and there was disgust in her tone that couldn't be concealed.
"Ahem, pay a little attention to what you say, we're in someone else's territory now." Navis coughed lightly as a reminder, but he didn't deny someone's bluntness, "Also, don't show this kind of character when you get to the palace for a while, just cut into that cold mode." ”
"Don't worry, just leave everything to me."
...... "I'm TM!" Why am I even more upset to hear your assurance?
Navis didn't say anything after all, after all, the person in front of him is not the kind of reckless aristocratic woman who doesn't know anything, you must know that she can go to the battlefield and kill people at the same time, and at the same time be able to navigate in that group of noble circles like human spirits, to be honest, there are not many people like this, at least he has only seen Xiao Yueluo until today.
The palace attic, the rockery fountain, and the places she passed along the way were all firmly remembered by Xiao Yueluo, and even the guards who passed by from time to time were evaluated by her heart several times, but Navis, who was leading the way in front, did not notice all this......
"Your Majesty, here they are."
At the same time as the waiter spoke, Xiao Yueluo and the others also walked to the middle of the palace, put their right hand into a fist on their chest, and saluted slightly: "Xiao Yueluo Evelina (Navis Fox) has seen Your Majesty. ”
The voices of the two sounded almost at the same time, and then the people on the throne slowly opened their eyes: "You are Xiaoyueluo Evelina?" It's good-looking. ”
The unstingy compliment made Navis on the side frown, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Xiao Yueluo's eyes: "Your Majesty said with a smile, although I am a woman, I can promise without any intention that I will not lose to anyone in the management of the army." ”
"Don't lose to anyone? It's interesting, so let's talk about how not to lose. ”
The unwavering voice and the expressionless appearance made the people on the throne suddenly interested, and even the originally crooked body sat up a little straighter at the moment. And until this moment, Xiao Yueluo can be regarded as fully seeing the true appearance of this imperial ruler, the most noble person in the entire Islamic continent.
Elias Ornis, forty-six years old, gloomy and disliked to speak, became emperor at the age of fifteen, and was not the oldest ruler of the Islamic continent, but the most senior. And he was brutal by nature, and countless people died at his hands.
She remembered some of the things she had seen before, and it was what Ronald had written on the note she had given her before getting into the carriage, and although it had no real effect, it was always a good conversation.
"Back to Your Majesty, I don't think you should be unclear about Black Rose, right?"
Xiao Yueluo curled her lips and asked, in her opinion, these questions were basically the same as the things she was questioned in the Duchy of Evel.
"Indeed, I have heard of the prestige of the Black Rose Knights, but only by hearing about it, and the actual strength is unknown."
"It's normal for Your Majesty to have this suspicion, but the Black Rose no longer exists, and even if I want to bring them now, it's impossible, so ......"
"So?"
Elias raised his eyes, and although he still felt like he was about to fall asleep, he was much better than before. And Navis was also a little worried at this time, in his opinion, Elias was definitely deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Yueluo, but although he could scare those nobles without scruples, he was also a little powerless in the face of the person in front of him.
"So I propose a duel, the choice is chosen by His Majesty, as long as the person you choose can defeat me, then I have nothing to say."
The air seemed to freeze instantly at the second these words were spoken, and the two of them looked at each other like this, one indifferently confident, the other with deep eyes. Navis, who was standing on the side and had never spoken, felt extremely stressed at this time, as if he was panting as if he was pressing a boulder on his chest.
These two ......
His gaze swept back and forth between Xiao Yueluo and Elias, who knew very well that he would not be surprised that he would have this kind of momentum. But Xiao Yueluo, this is the first time he has seen this kind of momentum in this girl's body, it is not only the bloody aura tempered on the battlefield, but also a kind of holiness that he has never felt, especially when these two very different temperaments are mixed together, even he has a feeling that he is about to go crazy.
