At this time, Nelson Bernant didn't know that just because of Navis's nervous reminder, it directly brought a big trouble to his follow-up plan......

"It turns out that this is the Earl's Court of Bernant, it looks pretty beautiful......" On a big tree in the Earl's Palace of Bernante, Rita looked at the tall villa in the center of her field of vision, thoughtful, but the muttering voice made Navis on the side turn his head a little puzzled: "Didn't you come yesterday?" Now pretend to be my first time here? ”

"There's no way, who let it be too dark last night and there was no moonlight, and I wasted my strength when I found this place." Rita pursed her lips and complained, she was a little speechless when she thought of last night's experience, although she had been in Yeluo City for a while, but it was the first time she had come here this area. After all, it was a place where nobles lived, and it was impossible for there to be so many people nearby, and if she wanted to inquire about the news, she would not be able to come here if it was not necessary.

"So that's why you didn't sleep all night last night?" Looking at the blue and black in Rita's eyes, Navis twitched the corners of his mouth a little speechlessly, he was a little surprised to hear the doorman say that the person in front of him only came back at dawn, after all, the place where he lived was not very far away, even if he had to toss, it would not be possible to toss for such a long time.

"Ahem, don't care about so many details, although the process is a little tortuous, but the result is not very good." As she spoke, Rita also pointed to the people who were coming in and out of the courtyard, trying to distract someone, so that she wouldn't let people know about what she got lost last night, especially the one next to her, otherwise she wouldn't be laughed at to death.

"It's good, indeed."

Navis nodded in agreement, and Rita was secretly relieved to see that he had no intention of continuing to ask, and then turned her head to look at the center of the courtyard. Rita hadn't seen the overall layout of the place before because of the weather, but she still knew the role of a few places, like the quarters of several maids and the room of the master of the Earl's Palace, after all, she had made sure that Nelson had fallen asleep before starting her actions last night. And now, because of her series of actions, the entire Earl's Court is filled with a strange low pressure.

"That person must be the priest who came this time, right?"

"That's right." Following Rita's direction, Navis saw a middle-aged man in a priest's robe drawing something on the ground.

"So it's a blessing?" Rita tilted her head, a little puzzled, because of physical reasons, the former Duke of Evel had also asked many priests to help her pray, but those blessings were just chanting blessings, sprinkling holy water or something, "It's the first time I've seen someone pray for a ...... of drawing a six-pointed star circle."

"It's a bit rare, but it's not uncommon."

"Have you seen that?" Rita was a little surprised, and then continued to ask as if she had thought of something, "Is it true that this magic circle has special powers?" ”

"This ...... I don't know if there's any special power, but I've seen people use it. At this time, Navis's voice sounded a little low, and this made Rita especially curious, because of her own experience, she believed that this world did indeed have power beyond human imagination, especially the warmth that still existed in her body, which reminded her of this all the time.

"Morse Cyrid, that's the man's name, but I don't know where he is, the only thing I know is who he is: an archbishop in the Empire."

"I heard His Highness say that the first time he appeared was in the palace of the royal capital, and his sudden appearance at that time frightened many nobles who were in deliberations." As if thinking of something funny, the corners of Navis's mouth hooked up a faint smile, "And I met His Highness not long after that, and I met him for the first time, when he taught His Highness martial arts, and I naturally studied together as an attendant......"

Rita sat on a branch and listened quietly to Navis telling her story, at first just curious, but then she was fascinated by the experiences of several people, and the one that cared most to her was ...... Dalena Olnis, the princess of the empire with whom she is indissolubly linked......

"When Princess Dalena was born, she was very healthy and her temperament was much more lively than now, but after an accident, she ......"

"Accident?" Seeing Navis pause suddenly, Rita subconsciously asked, "Is it about her being imprisoned by Elias?" ”

"Do you know the princess?" Navis looked at Rita in surprise, but before she could answer, he said to himself, "Yes, with the princess's habit of running around, it's normal for you to meet you, but there is one thing I want to correct." ”

Rita's sudden seriousness made Rita stunned slightly, and then she heard Navis's voice come again: "That accident didn't refer to being imprisoned, but to being poisoned." ”

"Poison!" Rita suddenly exclaimed, but the next second she was forced to press down, and then after looking around nervously and finding that no one noticed this, she directly breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her voice, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Hearing the question from the person next to him, Navis, who had no intention of hiding it, sighed: "The princess was less than six years old, and this incident happened before she was imprisoned...... At the same time, His Majesty at that time was not as he is now, as a king, he worked hard, and the whole empire flourished in his hands; As a father, although he is strict, he is also very concerned with the growth of the two highnesses and the princess, especially the princess. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that some people had evil ideas, arrested the princess, and threatened His Majesty to get a ransom. ”

"He agreed?"

"Yes, because it is my favorite child, I naturally agreed, but ...... The ransom was too large for His Majesty's own private treasury to be sufficient, and although he wanted to move the treasury, he gave it up, and finally borrowed money from the nobles at the suggestion of a marquis. ”

"The nobles didn't agree?"

"No, they agreed, but only at first, and then it was like a discussion, and no one came up with the money. In desperation, His Royal Highness had no choice but to take the guards to prepare to rescue the princess himself, but the kidnapper heard the news from somewhere and fed her poison in advance...... "Hearing this, even if she didn't see Navis's clenched fist, Rita could hear someone's anger in that obviously forbearant voice."

"Although the princess was rescued in the end, her captors fled, and we don't even know what he looked like, but we can only judge by the sound that he is a middle-aged man...... And because the man fled, the poison on the princess's body was ......."

"Then the last ......" Rita couldn't help but ask, whether it was kidnapped or poisoned, she had never experienced it, so she couldn't imagine what kind of pain Dalena had endured when she was still a child.

"The princess was finally rescued, but even the doctors in the palace were helpless, and although it did not kill her, she ...... But it will gradually devour the vitality, not only that, but this poison can also make the poisoned person hallucinate from time to time, so ...... Nearly half a year passed, and at that time, the princess's body became extremely weak, and she couldn't even get out of bed, and even slept longer and longer, and at the same time had to drink a decoction made of expensive medicinal herbs every day, just when everyone thought it was completely hopeless, the man suddenly appeared......"

"What is that man...... Morse Cyrild? ”

"That's right, it's him." Navis nodded, then continued, "He told His Majesty that he had a way to save the princess, but at a cost...... His Majesty agreed, but no one except Morse Cyril and His Majesty knew what the price was......"

"The price...... Rita muttered softly, a little curious about the so-called price.

"When Morse was treating the princess, in addition to His Majesty, the only people present were the two princes, His Royal Highness and me, and it was the first time I saw one of the effects of the six-pointed star circle - healing. Until then, I had always thought that it was just a ritual for the church to pray for blessings, but I didn't expect it to be useful......"

After that, the princess woke up, although her body was a little weak because of the poisoning for too long, but at least her condition did not continue to deteriorate, and this result also made everyone very happy, after all, when a person dies, there is nothing, and only by living can there be more possibilities. Merely...... What people didn't expect was His Majesty's strangeness, because it was not obvious at first, so even His Highness didn't notice it, and gradually, His Majesty began to gradually alienate the two Highnesses and Princesses, and even the atmosphere of the entire empire faintly changed. ”

"This should be a noticeable change, haven't you noticed?"

"The change was discovered, but I also said that this change lasted for a long time, and the relationship between His Royal Highness and His Majesty was already very strong, so from the beginning of self-hypnosis, unwilling to believe, and finally had to accept, and what completely changed all this was the fact that His Majesty imprisoned Princess Dalena......"

Rita was silent and didn't speak, even if she just listened to the person in front of her, she could feel a deep pain, not to mention the betrayal of those who had experienced it, coupled with the betrayal of those she trusted, she now understood what the subtle atmosphere of the imperial capital was all about.

But why? It's obviously such a close family, but in the end, it's ......
