"What happened?" Clear Sky asked softly, but received no response. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The maids began to rummage through a trunk in the corner to find clothes for Princess Vanessa, who had already sat down in front of the mirror, took off the white hat of the healer, put down her long orange hair, and began to groom with the help of another maid.

After a brief moment of confusion, Clear Sky decided to ask the maid for her clothes, change into her expensive clothes, and then turn back to the Sentry Inn.

However, before the girl's idea could be implemented, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by the sound of swords being fired. Somehow, Qingtian suddenly felt nervous, and reflexively jumped behind the half-folded screen on one side, behind the pile of boxes where clothes were placed...... At this moment, the canvas at the door of the tent was lifted at once—

A tall and burly man appeared in the center of sight, his facial features were exquisite, the bridge of his nose was high, his eyebrows were raised, and his short light blonde hair was shiny against his light golden eyes. He was dressed in delicate, close-fitting matte gold armor, with the emblem of an eagle carved on his shoulder blades, and two long swords, each half a man high, hung cross-slung on his back.

"What a guts! Who dares to trespass into the camp of the Dolly royal family?! Seeing this, the maids serving on either side of Princess Vanessa immediately took two steps forward, blocked the figure of the lord with their bodies, and shouted at the comer.

"My own people, the escort team who came to welcome Princess Vanessa to the Apocalypse King City, I just heard that there were assassins here, and I was particularly worried about the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, so I took the liberty to come to support." The visitor smiled and answered unhurriedly.

At this time, the soldiers of the Dolly Legion seemed to have surrounded the tent of the lord, and the dense figures could be faintly seen outside the tent under the firelight, but they did not see any of the guards of the Dolly Legion being able to enter the tent to guard, but walked into two rows of six soldiers in gold and silver armor, and at a glance it was clear that they were the so-called escort team that broke in with the knights in matte gold armor.

The atmosphere was still tense, but the golden-armored knight smiled like a spring breeze, and greeted Princess Dolly, who was separated by two maids: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if everything is okay, this trip has been smooth and smooth?" ”

"Everything is going well, although there is a chance encounter with a little thief who doesn't know what to do, but it is all handled properly, and there is no danger to arrive here, and when you arrive, Wellskin, the next road will be smoother and safer, I am very happy, and I am grateful." Princess Vanessa exhaled quietly, stood up, bypassed the maid's cover, walked up to the blonde man and gracefully stretched out her right hand, and the knight immediately fell to his knees, held her slender fingers with both hands, and kissed the back of her hand like a dragonfly.

Hiding in the corner and secretly watching the clear sky of this scene, I couldn't help but look curiously at this man known as the Wellskin Horseman, his movements were elegant and noble, and his dress was very good, he must be a high-ranking official, but I don't know what position this so-called "Golden Horseman" is...... When the girl's eyes swept over his bowed face, it seemed to meet the man's squinted glance back, although he didn't feel malice, Qingtian's heart still didn't feel tight, and he hurriedly looked away, hiding himself completely in the shadows.

At the end of the salute, Wilskin stood up and said politely: "When the prince assigned me to come to meet you, he specially asked me to bring the best troops in the Imperial Guards Army, and told you to take care of you. Since Her Royal Highness the Princess is in danger on our Keane King's land, it is impossible for the Royal Guards led by Wells to sit idly by here, and we will take over the matter of the assassin investigation, please rest in peace with Her Royal Highness Princess Vanessa, and we will do our best to track down the murderer. ”

Her Royal Highness the Princess was silent for two seconds, and immediately said with an official smile: "The heroic strength of the Royal Forest Army is known all over the world, but you and the soldiers have been rushing all the way to come overnight, and you must be tired. The assassin's case is actually not a big deal, it has already been resolved, the thief has been entangled in the water grudge snake, presumably his life will not be long, my guards will soon be able to find his body, and it will be over with a little treatment. It's such a trivial matter that you won't bother your elite troops. ”

Wells bent his pale golden eyes and replied with an equally polite smile: "This time I came here to solve problems for Her Royal Highness the Princess, to ensure that everything is comprehensive, no matter how big or small the matter, but if it is related to your safety, I will bow to you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, please don't be polite." ”

As he was talking, suddenly there was a report from behind him, and then a Royal Guards escort walked in, bowed to Wells, gave a half-salute, and reported: "Lord Golden Knight, the body of the assassin has been dragged out of the tunnel, and has been sent back to the army for investigation and study, and I hereby report to you." ”

"Good, it seems that everything is going well. This matter must be carefully investigated, and those who attempt to murder Her Royal Highness must not be let go. With Wells' response, the soldiers who came to report were ordered to retreat.

At this time, Princess Vanessa raised her right hand to cover her temple, and said in a weak tone: "There are too many strange things that have happened in this day, I can't help but have a headache, I am thinking about changing clothes and resting now, and if there is anything important, how about we discuss it when we leave together tomorrow?" ”

Wells smiled knowingly, but couldn't help but reply with a hint of arrogance: "Looking at Her Royal Highness Princess's strange dress, you know that you have worked hard to deal with various situations today, you must be very tired, please rest assured." Tomorrow is halfway over, and I will come back to bother me when I am ready to march and depart. With that, he led a group of six Royal Forest Army guards to retreat with a smile on his face.

When they were completely out of the tent, Princess Vanessa exhaled heavily.

The princess's action made the clear sky that had just come out from behind the screen unconscious, and after hesitating for two seconds, she still couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Your Royal Highness, what is the origin of this Wellskin horse?" Is the Kingsguard the King's army? It looks like it's very powerful. ”

Listening to her question, Vanessa couldn't help but smile faintly: "It turns out that you don't even know this-the one just now is the son of the Rafal family, who is now the most powerful on the Keene continent, and the owner of the Rainbow Moon Castle. the youngest son of Lord Rafal; Queen of the Kingdom of Keane, wife of Tyras, Claudia. Rafal and the Hand of the King, Nibel. Rafal's younger brother; He is also the head of the Royal Guards under the personal command of King Tyras of Keane, known as the Golden Knight. Rafal. The Royal Forest Army is the most sophisticated army in the entire Keane Kingdom, with three management positions: Golden Knight, Silver Knight, and Bronze Knight. ”

"Sounds amazing." The clear sky couldn't help but sigh.

But in exchange for Princess Vanessa's soft snort: "Of course the Rafal family is powerful, Wells holds the military power, Nibel is the right and left power, and Claudia is in the rear, Es. Lord Rafal sits in the resource-rich Rainbow Valley, and the Rainbow Moon Castle is majestic and prosperous, not only blessed by the Rainbow Moon Sacred Stone, but also with the guardian prophet Elsha sitting in the town, and the entire Keane Continent has barely changed its name to Rafal. ”

Clear Sky finally understood the different emotions in Her Royal Highness's words—there were words in those words. She was startled and wondered, "Could it be that tonight's assassin was sent by Wells?] ]

The girl was still thinking about it, when Princess Vanessa suddenly asked: "Clear sky, I want you to be sure to accompany me for another while, I not only have to find out who is trying to harm me, but I also have to get solid evidence and hold the chips to ensure my safety." ”

The princess's request is reasonable, it is a matter of life and death for a woman, and it is difficult to refuse not to help with Clear Sky's character, but she also understands the stakes, and knows that the plan to find Nolan and save Luna will have to be postponed, and her heart cannot be dissipated.

The princess saw that she was hiding something, and immediately promised: "If you help me to investigate this matter, it will surely give you glory and wealth, and I can also grant you a wish, as long as it is within my ability, I will help you fulfill it." ”

At this point, Clear Sky is once again in a state of helplessness - since the princess has promised her a condition, she thinks that maybe she can use it in exchange for information from Nolan and Luna, so as to kill two birds with one stone.

So, she nodded lightly and asked, "What...... Next, what should I do? ”

"Early tomorrow morning, Wells will lead the army to accompany me to the royal city, and you will go with me in disguise as a medical woman, and if necessary, you will exchange identities with me and act as my stand-in."

"But...... I have three companions, and I have to help my friend deliver a letter to King Tyras......" Leoria's request came back to her mind at this moment, and Clear Sky remembered that the vital letter was still in the hands of Princess Vanessa, and was about to ask for it back, but the princess was the first to speak.

"I know that letter must be very important to you, but have you ever thought that the city of the Apocalypse is so well guarded, and how noble King Tyras is, how can ordinary civilians see it? Without my help, your task of delivering letters would have been difficult. Princess Vanessa pondered for a moment, sighed lightly, and continued, "I can bring one more of your friends into the Apocalypse King's City, remember, only one can be brought with you—but you have to keep our agreement a secret, can you do it?" ”

Qingtian's eyes suddenly became sharp at the princess, and he was shocked by her momentum for a moment, and nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

Her Royal Highness the Princess immediately explained: "Okay, then you can change into the clothes of a medical girl and go back to the hotel to find him, and you can sleep in the hotel tonight." To-morrow morning, you bring that friend back to me, and I will arrange his disguise and help you deliver the letter to King Tyras. ”
