Chapter 320: Slave Girl (18)
In any case, Festina and Andrei were once lovers, and Andrei was assassinated because he went after Festina.
Peter sent a letter to Festina to inform her that Andrei had been killed on the way back after seeing her off.
At that time, the escort team of the Kayan Empire had not yet arrived in Kyoto of the Kayan Empire, and Festina fainted with an "ah" when she received the news. She immediately turned back to the Chuchar Empire, wanting to see Andrei. The empress was afraid that something would happen to her, so she also turned back.
During Andrei's funeral, Charles II was busy deploying the Koster Empire according to Ye Xinlu's strategy.
At Andre's funeral, all relatives and friends said their last goodbye to Andre, and Ye Xinlu followed closely behind the heroine, almost standing in front of Andre with her front and back.
The sword marks on Andre's neck are still unusually obvious. Ye Xinlu couldn't help but feel extremely sad and said: "I didn't expect Duke Andre to have excellent swordsmanship, and there were assassins who could take his life with one sword." Festina, I heard that the fatal sword wound in Duke Andrei's neck can only be achieved with a sword that is extremely fast and extremely thin.
I really can't think of anyone who hates Andrei so much, who is so good as he is...... Alas!
However, in this world, swordsmanship is much higher than Andrei, and there are not many people who can take his life with a single sword; Coupled with the extremely fast and extremely thin sword, His Majesty said that the scope of the murderer has been greatly narrowed. β
Fast and thin! Festina's face turned pale when she heard this. She trembled and walked out of Andre's mourning hall, only to see that the empress was already waiting at the door.
Because of her identity and seniority, the empress came out a few minutes before her, and when she saw her come out, she greeted her and said, "Festina, it's here, let's hurry back to China." The Kayan Empire has a lot of things waiting for my mother to go back and deal with. β
Festina nodded abruptly, and followed the empress into the carriage on the way back. It's just that as soon as the carriage left the imperial capital of the Chuchar Empire, Festina said, "Mother, I didn't see Ammon for most of the last few days, what did he do at that time?" β
The empress smiled, "Didn't we go to the border province of Kor at that time?" It was his hometown, and when he asked me to go home and visit his family, I granted him half a day off. β
Festina fell silent.
Empress: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask about his whereabouts?" β
Festina: "I heard that his swordsmanship is very superb, and the entire Kayan Empire cannot find anyone stronger than him." β
Empress: "That's what I said. However, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, and he always said that in fact, there are people who are stronger than him in swordsmanship. β
Festina: "Well, how is he and Andrebi?" β
Empress: "It's really hard to say. It's a pity that Andrei has passed away, otherwise he can be compared with Andrei. After a pause, she said: "Mother heard that the slave girl Terstena, who was originally on the Ivanov Manor, is actually amazing in swordsmanship, and it is said that she is a woman who can fight many powerful swordsmen at the same time. I think that no matter how strong Ammon's swordsmanship is, it will probably be like this."
"Testena?" Festina said with a stir in her heart.
Empress: "Yes, I heard that it was Andre who she mentioned, and Andre only then knew which direction you went, and tracked you all the way to the border." β
Festina fell silent again.
The empress said, "I really don't know how a girl's family likes to use knives and guns like men, and with the strength of a little girl, can she hold the kind of wide and heavy sword that men use?" β
Yes, she's a little girl, and she should use a thin and light sword, hehe! Festina thought with a sneer in her heart. However, AndrΓ© had said that Testena had no sword, and that when she broke into the Fenning mansion, she used the sword she had snatched from the soldiers, and it was the kind of sword that was wide and heavy!
After crossing the border between the two countries, the procession again reached the province of Kore, and everyone rested at the inn. Festina found Ammon.
He was a thin and small swordsman, his eyes were like lightning, and he asked respectfully, "I wonder what the princess commands?" β
Festina pretended to be a curious little girl, blinked a pair of starry eyes, and said, "Ammon, I heard that your home is in the Kol Province, you must know the Kol Province very well, can you take me to play in the fun places in the Kol Province while the team is resting?" β
Ammon replied, "Okay." β
Festina asked him to take herself for a ride on horseback. Although Ammon felt that it was a bit inappropriate to be alone, he did not dare to disobey the order, so he agreed.
When the two arrived at a small river, Festina pretended to be curious and asked, "Ammon, I see that many swordsmen use very wide and heavy swords, why is your sword, just by looking at the scabbard so thin, isn't the sword body thinner?" β
Ammon stared at her for a long time before he said, "The princess actually wanted to find out if Duke Andrei died under the sword of the minister." β
Festina sneered and was silent.
Ammon said, "Does the princess think that the princess would go all the way to hunt down a person who has no grievances with her for no reason?" β
Festina: "Ammon, do you want to deny it?" But when I mentioned that Kore is your hometown, you didn't behave at all like you were when you were mentioned to your hometown?
Ammon, although I had the status of a slave girl in the Ivanov estate, but the old Duke Ivanov raised her as a daughter, and I received a special education in many talents from an early age, one of which was called acting. β
Ammon was a little dazed when he heard this, and he was silent for a moment before guessing: "You want to tell me that Ivanov and his son are very kind to you, don't you?" β
Festina burst into tears and said, "Yes, they are so kind to me. β
She suddenly changed her tone and said, "Do you know, in the Ivanov Manor, there is a female slave girl as big as me, named Testena, I heard that her swordsmanship is extremely high, but her most admirable thing is not her swordsmanship, but her exhaustive strategy......"
"Why did the princess mention this person?" Ammon was increasingly confused by her words.
Festina smiled, but her laughter was full of desolation: "At Andrei's funeral, she spoke to me......"
Ammon's face darkened, and if it weren't for that Testena's nasty mouth, things wouldn't have been so troublesome at all.
But his face quickly returned to normal, and he pretended to be curious: "Oh? What did she say to the princess? β
Festina: "Aamon, you're a swordsman, not an actor. Those who are proficient in swordsmanship, with a heart all on swordsmanship, must have no time for other reasons, and they must not be good at the art of people's hearts.
But my mother is an empress, with rich experience, countless encounters, joy and anger are invisible, and what she is good at is the art of the human heart. β
