Twelve handed the wax-sealed decree to one of the guards guarding the door, and he himself crouched down at the gate of the castle.

Dean was puzzled: "Your Highness, these two guards are so rude, you can go in directly and tell Marquis Heine to kill them to make an example, why do you still listen to them." ”

Twelve looked at the ruby ring in his hand and said: "The guards are so vigilant, I guess it should be Madame Heine who has received some news, beware of spies sneaking into the castle, Madame Heine wants to catch turtles in the urn, we can't sabotage her plan." ”

After listening to Twelve's explanation, Dean suddenly felt ashamed that he did not have such a flexible mind as hers, let alone an open mind like her.

After a while, Twelve heard a deep female voice from inside the castle.

"Hahaha! I've finally looked forward to you! Little aunt! "The visitor was a tall and mighty woman in silver armor, with long blond hair braided and hanging down the back of her head, and the opposite of her rugged voice and body shape were her delicate features and the iconic green eyes of the Campbell family.

Presumably she was Madame Heine.

Twelve stood up and was about to say hello, but was hugged by the other party, Heine squeezed her in his arms and said cordially: "Little aunt, I saw you once when you were a child, when you were less than my foot size, and now you have grown into a big girl." ”

A man in a robe behind Heine tugged at her arm and said, "Madame, my little aunt is going to be strangled by you." ”

Looking down, isn't it, the twelve in his arms turned blue, Heine let go, scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm sorry, I was too excited to see it for the first time." ”

Twelve was free, bent over, his hands on his knees, greedily breathing in the fresh air, and waving his hands and saying, "It's okay, ahem, it's okay." ”

"It's okay, I'll introduce you, this is my husband, Nathan Rodri." Heine said, pointing to the thin man in the robe.

Nathan gracefully stepped forward to introduce himself: "Your Highness, it is an honor to meet you, and Novino welcomes you. ”

Twelve frowned, "Rodri? What is Princess Victoria's relationship with you? ”

Nathan's face froze, and he paused for two seconds before he said, "It's my own sister." ”

Twelve suddenly realized that although she knew that the Rodri family was declining, she did not know that Nathan, who was the only heir to the Rodri family, had actually been married to Heine, no wonder Victoria had not seen anyone from the Rodri family in the palace.

Nathan lowered his head and asked her with a guilty expression: "Your Highness, may I ask, is Her Royal Highness the princess doing well?" All these years—"

Before he finished speaking, Heine, who was the only one in the know, snatched his words: "Little aunt, don't blame him, he is very happy to know that you adopted the princess, Nathan's sister died in the palace that year, her parents couldn't stand such a blow and died one after another, the Rodri family was already thin, he had to deal with family affairs, and he had to take care of his parents' affairs, so he was really lacking." ”

Twelve nodded in understanding: "What about your viscountship?" After the Rodri family—"

Nathan smiled self-deprecatingly: "There will be no more, I guess it will be the last Rodri, and my wife and I will have the last Campbell surname." ”

Twelve suddenly felt that this man was quite pitiful, it seemed that he had misunderstood him before, and he didn't know if Victoria would like to see this uncle.

Heine exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then brought Twelve into the castle.

The castle was very well defended, the archers stood on the city wall, vigilantly staring at every move outside the castle, Dean was a little lucky, and several people had just forced their way in without impulse, otherwise it would have been a few hornet's nests at this moment.

The group walked to the main fort, and there was a person standing in front of the gate, and before Heine could introduce him, the man saw Twelve and the sword on his body, and walked forward with a shocked face and asked, "You are Duke Campbell?" ”

Twelve thought to himself, what was going on with the people of Novino, and they were all shocked.

The man knelt on the ground, and bowed to Twelve with his hands facing upwards, and the latter hurriedly turned sideways, and this man looked at least forty years old, but he could not bear to bow to himself so much.

Heine was also shocked: "Shaw, what are you doing here?" ”

The man known as Xiao did not give up, straightened up and said to Twelve, "Please draw your sword!" ”

Heine burst into flames: "This is my little aunt!" Are you going to duel with her? Stop messing around, Shaw White! ”

Xiao still insisted on kneeling on the ground and begged Twelve to draw his sword.

Twelve felt that something was wrong, he didn't know this man named Xiao, could it be-

She looked down at the saber in her hand, thought for a moment, and pulled out the sword, Xiao's eyes lit up, and then said, "Please draw the sword from the patriarch of the Campbell family!" ”

This statement is strange, Twelve has already drawn her sword, why do you want her to draw her sword? And call it the patriarch?

The people around felt that Xiao was a little inexplicable, Heine was carrying Xiao's back collar and wanted to pull him up, but Xiao stubbornly knelt on the ground, and she yelled: "You old stubborn, can you stop messing around!" ”

And only Twelve knows the secret hidden in the sword.

She hesitated, wondering why the sword had been hanging on the wall of her house and why it had a mechanism, but she wasn't sure that Xiao was the one who could answer everything for herself.

"You, why should I draw my sword?" Twelve asked calmly.

A fire seemed to burn in Shaw's eyes, and he looked at Twelve hotly and replied, "Because I will bring you the answer to everything!" ”

Twelve's hand tightened as he held the sword, and then, in front of everyone, pulled the ruby dagger from his own saber.

Heine and Nathan were stunned on the spot.

Nathan hadn't seen it, but Heine had seen it.

At that time, Heine was still a teenage girl, and she followed her father to the baptism of the newborn Twelve.

She saw the sword in Twelve's room, and took it down and played with it for a while, despite the maid's persuasion, until her father found out, snatched the sword from his hand, and beat herself fat.

She hadn't discovered the mystery of this sword for so long, and only today did she see the ruby dagger in the sword.

Xiao was excited, and shouted with trembling hands: "The sixteenth generation of the Campbell Army is at your service!" ”

"Campbell's Army?!" Those present said this almost in unison.

Xiao was about to explain, but Nathan interrupted, "This is not the place to talk, let's go in first." ”

Heine's expression suddenly became serious and heavy, and he looked around alertly, and led the people into the castle.
