Chapter 121: Rescue
"And," the lich added, "I don't think we'll be easily forgotten. ”
As if to corroborate his words, the keen hearing of elves and half-elves immediately picked up the sound of footsteps, more than one and in a hurry.
The lich opened the door to the room without the consent of the other two people. A squire, who had dressed himself as little hastily as possible, was fifteen paces away from the elf's chamber, and for a moment he did not know whether he should go over or read the new king's order aloud in place— Duke John, now the new king, was not prepared to be hostile to the Silvercrown Forest, and although they were indeed close to the old king and Berdwin, as a king, John considered himself to be quite open-minded and gentle, and he just wanted to control and appease them so that they would not make any tricks in the most important days of the next few days.
In the end, it was the lich who helped him decide, and the squire watched dumbly as the mage raised his hand and sprinkled a shower of fresh rose petals (which he had taken from the pink-robed mage) - and the mages behind him were more than a step slower, they had been sent only as a precaution, but they could never have imagined that the other would be the first to cast the spell without talking or being threatened—the battle between mages was always fast, before the sleep spell cast by the former undead had fully worked, The squire heard Duke John's mage chanting a spell - it sounded like a drunken madman cursing a brainless little rabbit to a three-legged donkey, but he was just an ordinary man who knew nothing about magic, so he still had a little hope.
One of the mages may have carried some sort of sleep-canceling scroll or rune disk with him, and while everyone around him was staggering and falling, the mage with his beard long and pointed and looked like a male goat nervously and proudly began to cast his spell - this turn is mine, he must have thought so - and then Kerry and Leona watched as Cremar jumped over, unaware of the fact that he pulled out a staff encrusted with rubies from there and knocked out the fish that was still biting the words and pronouncing them.
"Do all elven mages do that?" Leona muttered subconsciously.
"Occasionally. Kerry replied that he was fortunate to be in the outside world, unless he was with a friend he trusted very much. The elves never let their guard down. Their weapons and equipment were stored in the Dimensional Bag, which hung from their belts, and all he had to take with him and Cremar's cloaks was to take them.
Three people, to be more precise. A human, an elf, and a half-elf tiptoe. One by one, they crossed the obstacles, the torches on the aisle were lit, and Leona could see their faces without difficulty. "It's my uncle's squire. But the vast majority were people who had sworn allegiance to her father. “...... The old king is dead, long live the new king. This concept, which she didn't really understand, suddenly reflected in her mind with a clearer gesture than ever before.
"Princess Leona, you'd better go back to your room after leaving this hallway. Said the lich. He held up a hand and motioned for Leona not to interrupt him.
The former undead estimated the time, and the dawn was coming. Another fool was about to take control of the body, and then he and Kerribben - oh, an elf and a half-elf would try to rescue their friends from a well-guarded fortress and leap over a vast royal capital surrounded by twelve towers and walls. Rare. The lich prayed to his mentor reverently, hoping that the new king's henchmen would not have the hobbies of the undead guards—when the latter caught their prey, they would tear off his limbs (or more) as soon as the owner of the tower did not have a clear order, gouging out his eyes and cutting out his tongue to avoid accidents—and they really didn't need to drag on any more burden: "The man we are going to save is a traitor accused of killing the old king," he said softly. " Princess Leona, you are the daughter of the king, and if you don't want people to think that you are the mastermind behind the crime, and thus carry out the charges against Berdwin, it is better to keep a considerable distance from what is to come—so far away that it would be better for others to forget about you—and I hope that when someone comes to inquire about it, you will be sitting in your room, changing into a black mourning gown, and sincerely weeping for your dead father.
"And," he added, "we're going to clear Birdwin's name after all, but as you know, there's no one in the Norman capital of the Highlands who can speak for him, and he only has you." ”
Leona was silent, the only thing that could tell her uneasiness was that she stepped on a knight's little finger at the place where she took her last step, and he stood up straight, his two bulging eyes staring blankly ahead...... But with a "pong" he fell back silently, "Thank you," Leona said, and asked in a whisper as she returned the light but hard staff to its owner, "why did he wake up?"
"Voices don't wake people who have been put on sleep," said the lich, "but shake them or attack them." ”
They walked quietly to the end of the corridor, "Maybe I can try again," Leona said suddenly with difficulty, "I am the princess of the Norman Highlands—I can't pardon Berdwin, but I may be able to save his life......"
"I don't know how the whole thing happened," said the lich. But if Berdwin was present when the king died, dear Princess Leona, given the severity of Tyre, he would most likely be judged guilty of dereliction of duty, and a dereliction of duty would not be tolerated by Tyre, he would be expelled, and a fallen paladin would not be able to pray and receive healing, that is, if he was sentenced to beheading or any other severe punishment, no matter where he was killed, there would be no hope of healing in that place, like Adel of the White Tower, and when I met him in Thundercastle, the brand of blasphemy and murder was still deeply engraved on his face, whenever he unintentionally gave the clothWhen his hair covers them, they burn his face like a charcoal fire. ”
"She's just worried about us, Cremar. Kerry said kindly.
Then she didn't have to show up in the first place, the lich said to himself, but it was unnecessary, Kerry must have been trying to rescue Berdwin anyway, and if he didn't do that, the lich would have wondered if he had been replaced by some possession.
Leona was about to say something, but the lich made a gesture—an invisible, cold hand touched her lips, and the princess almost cried out, "Thank you for your news," said the lich indifferently, "but at this point, we are not ignorant and arrogant dwarves or gnomes, we know what to do, and hope you will do as I say, and that's it, thank you, Your Highness."
