33 [Hot Blood] Determined to become a sea overlord! (23)
"Don't talk about politics! Don't spread rumors! ”
The sailor beside Bertram had already stood up and reprimanded, looking at the other party's unconvinced expression, and pointed to the military badge on his body. - I didn't expect these sailors to have military ranks in the army.
"Grand Duke Bertram—" Someone in the crowd whispered, quickly closed his mouth with a wink, grabbed his companion, and walked away quickly.
"I'm sorry." Bertram nodded apologetically, "I think - I probably have some business to attend to now, and if you don't mind, I'll let the deputy captain take you to the hotel where you want to stay?" ”
"No, it's okay, Your Excellency—" An Ningning said, "Actually, we've just purchased a map of the city, and you won't be worried about us getting lost." Seeing that the other party was still a little hesitant, she hurriedly said, "Moreover, we may also want to visit the Imperial Scene again." ”
"In that case—well, I'll send you a letter in two days—just what I said last time." He said kindly, "I'm really sorry today, then—I wish you a pleasant visit, see you next time." ”
"See you next time."
Seeing the group walking in the direction of the palace, Avis appeared out of nowhere and said.
"I heard that before Herman Lambert became King of God, it was Duke Hill who took the imperial power, but he was too unproductive with Lambert I's generation, so he passed the position to Lambert, who had a distant relative, and wanted to control him, so that he could wait for the next generation to pass it back. However, none of them expected that although Lambert I was young at that time, he was deep in thought, and within two years, he decisively showed his fangs - under some planning, with the coercion and military power gathered in just two years, this empire really became the Herman Empire, and since then, he has set his sights on the unexplored and untamed sea areas at that time. ”
Avis chuckled lazily, "Now it seems that after the sudden death of Lambert I, this Hill is a little unwilling. But I do think that there are very few people of their generation, or in other words, few of them who can achieve what Lambert I has achieved now, and in the future. ”
An Ningning silently listened to the news from Avis's inquiry, and wondered, "Lambert I is so powerful, how could he die suddenly?" ”
"I don't know, according to the official version, he died of illness." Avis shrugged.
"What a pity." She muttered, such a person can be regarded as a hero.
"yes." Frank, who had been paying attention to the food shops on the map all the time, nodded when he heard this, and looked quite regretful, "When I was young, Lambert I was not dead, although he started the war in the Eastern Continent, but after the defeat of the Eastern Continent, we did prosper, and my mother once said that it was the richest day in our family." ”
"It wasn't until Heinrich came later that it wasn't the same." Frank's voice was low.
"It's okay, Frank, you still have us." She patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, and Ives also teased the little fat man for a rare intimate time.
Noah didn't speak all the way, just took her hand and walked with her as usual, quietly looking at the scenery around her, but she could clearly feel his absent-mindedness and the coldness of his palm.
She sighed inwardly.
Whether it's Frank, Avis, or Noah, they spent their young years in the war, and obviously suffered a lot of injuries in it, but their companions have rarely heard them mention it for so many years.
Just like now, they have not said their surnames - not unwillingly, but after years of fleeing, they have long forgotten the surnames that their family and friends would not mention unfamiliarly, and even the kind faces of their parents have been blurred in their memories.
——The scars caused by the war, after many years, seem to have been smoothed out by the years, but in fact, they have long been engraved in the depths of my heart.
……
Cheerful drumbeats, accompanying trumpets, cheers of the crowd. Circles of people in the square surround the stage made of roses.
The girl on the stage has long curly hair that is almost as white as gold, blue eyes, whether it is a smile when she turns around, or a sexy style flowing between her eyebrows and eyes, she is so fascinated that people can't take their eyes away. On top of her full breasts, a sapphire as deep as her eyes fell, swaying gently with her dance steps. There were silver bells hanging on her wrists and ankles, and she smiled, spread her hands, swung her waist, and twisted her hips, and those bells also jingled, shaking in the dazzling sunlight.
When she jumped on the head, she would half-squat down charmingly, pluck a rose, kiss her red lips lightly, smile again under the intoxicated gaze of the man, and put it in her hair with her backhand.
"Hathaway! Hathaway! ”
The people below called her name in unison, and she winked innocently, which drew even more cheers.
"That's the stunner." Standing outside the crowd and looking at it from a distance, Avis couldn't help but sigh lightly, "I didn't expect that the outer street far from the palace would be so lively." ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but raise his steps and squeeze into the crowd, trying to see the girl's appearance.
Before An Ningning could react, Frank grabbed him, a little angry, "It's time to eat." ”
Avis absentmindedly reassured, "No hurry, no hurry, Frank, we'll go after reading this." ”
"No way!" The little fat man, who has always been the top priority for eating, decisively refused, wrinkled his nose and had a serious expression, "I'm hungry and I'm going to eat." ”
"Frank—" Avis tried to persuade, "you see that we rarely come to the Herman Empire, so we have to take in the scenery and taste the food here slowly. We watched it and went to eat. He immediately added, "You see there must be quite a few snacks here in the square, we can buy some—"
Frank took his opinion very seriously, and then—decisively, again resolutely dragged him back, "No! ”
"Flutter." She laughed. Of course she knew why—Frank wouldn't say no to snacks, but he wouldn't miss the main meal either.
"Alright." In the end, Noah couldn't see it, and stood up and smiled softly, "Avis, if you want to go, go first, let's go to the tavern in front of us first, and remember to find us when the time comes." ”
And so the matter was settled.
Frank looked at the tavern in front of him, which was the size of three stores, and smelled the smell of fine barley beer in the air, and nodded intoxicatingly.
An Ning Ning and Noah glanced at each other helplessly, and also walked in.
