Volume 5 Days in the Sun One Hundred and Seventy-Seven, The Prince of Melancholy
An Long discussed with Hebby and other guards the security work arrangements for the princes in the future, and considering that the matter would indeed have a bad impact if it was made public, he decided to only notify the commander of the Northern Fortress and the Northern Intelligence Department of the Security Agency, so that they could secretly report to the king, and send a team of elite soldiers to protect the eldest prince Heyt, whose injuries were not suitable for movement, so they had to stay in the Viscount of Merton for the time being
Beryl later came back in the company of Dora, still with a straight face, and when she heard the results of the men's discussions, she stared at Hayt and asked, "Does Your Highness agree too?" The latter nodded with some hesitation, and said softly: "Beryl, Hebby is loyal, and Viscount Merton is also a person trusted by his father, or your own uncle, they will not harm us."
Beryl's eyes reddened: "You'll regret it!" You have no idea how despicable those people areβ" She glanced at Serrig, bit her lip, and didn't say any more, just regaining her haughty look
Selig's face became gloomy, and he stood up suddenly: "Now that the matter is decided, I'll go back to the room first!" Brother, have a good rest," said Anlong and Hebby, nodded to Anlong and Hebby, and walked out, Manda glanced at her sister complainingly, and saw that she was indifferent, and also stomped her feet aggrievedly: "Beryl! Selig has long said that he will not harm His Highness, why do you just refuse to believe him?! β
"I didn't disbelieve him," Beryl said lightly
"But you just now..."
"Hey, why are the two sisters arguing?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Dora immediately interjected to stop their quarrel, "I believe that Beryl trusts the second prince, no matter what, he will also be her relative in the future, Amanda must have misunderstood"
Beryl was noncommittal, Manda just glared at her angrily An Long saw this, and hurriedly said that there was still official business to deal with, and Minna also hurriedly slipped away, but Dora stayed, and asked the guests very enthusiastically if they were comfortable, what else they needed, whether they were used to sleeping in bed, what dishes they liked to eat, and whether they needed to send a few more skilled maids... He quietly asked Beryl and the Manda sisters if they needed some new clothes, as they looked a little embarrassed
Hayat expressed his gratitude, and Hebby didn't say anything, but he was very satisfied with his expression, Manda was directly moved and quickly became intimate with Dora, as for Beryl, no one knew what she thought
In the next few days, she was quite peaceful, and there were no disputes, but she locked herself in her room all day long, in addition to regularly going to Hayt's room to visit and take care of her, it was to carry out her "magic research" Selig regained her smile in the company of Manda, because it was inconvenient to go out, the little couple was tired of being in the garden every day, and sometimes Selig would also drink afternoon tea with Dora at the suggestion of her sweetheart, Manda liked to get along with Dora very much, saying that she felt very relaxed and happy, and Dora was more and more caring for her, When I plan to write back to Ito next time, I will use this incident to stimulate the arrogant concubine
Minna continued to pull Alex to study the contents of the legendary tome, translating and discussing at the same time, and by the way, she also had to prepare the magic for the wounded, because the family doctor had diagnosed him and thought that his medical skills and her medicine could speed up the recovery of the wounded
Alex only came for half a day before dark and left, and was determined to avoid meeting the guests, Minna was surprised and explained: " In fact, strictly speaking, our Mandheling family and the Francis family of the Carda family, the Chulov family, the Hedda family and the Sablin family (the late Queen Miranda's family) are all in-laws, and their ancestors have all been married to the royal family, although our Mandheling family is not what it used to be, but there are still some friendships with those families, but my family has different views on the issue of the heir to the throne, and the people on the eldest prince's side may not be happy to see me here, and the second prince will probably have scruples, and it is better not to meet than to meet embarrassed."
Minna suddenly realized, thinking of Beryl's wary eyes, she thought that it would be better for Alec not to be involved
Although Alex was reluctant to meet with the princes, he was very concerned about their affairs, and asked Minna to prepare the materials for the eldest prince as much as possible, if it was not enough, he was willing to provide it, Minna immediately unceremoniously poached most of his collection, Alex felt that he had suffered a loss, and insisted that she prepare a few doses of the magic pills for herself, which was difficult to prepare and time-consuming, and the two bargained for a long time, and finally reached an agreement, looking at Alex leaving with a suffocated face, Minna couldn't help but snicker, this time she took a lot of advantage
With sufficient materials, she prepared a better magic leaf for the two princes and the mercenaries, and within two days, the scars on Serig's body disappeared completely, and after another two days, the injured mercenaries were already able to get up and eat on their own, and the other people's minor injuries were all healed, but Heyat didn't know why, obviously after eating the leaves the day before, the injuries had improved, but the next day they worsened, there were several particularly deep wounds, always bleeding from time to time, no matter what kind of leaves were used, there was no obvious effect, Minna changed several special effects, and barely let the wounds heal, but after this toss, Prince Heyt's body has not recovered for a long time, and has been weak and bedridden
Ignoring Beryl's questioning gaze and cynicism, Minna pondered the reason for this, examining Hayt's body over and over again, and she always felt as if there was a strange force in him that was preventing the water from working
While chatting with Alex, she inadvertently mentioned the incident, but Alex was silent for a long time, and then cast a series of magic on the studio faster than her, locking the door, soundproofing, anti-magic, peeping, and other spells, and then whispered a guess in her ear
Minna was shocked, but after thinking about it and realizing that it was very likely, she immediately went to Hayt, secretly added a test agent to his tea, and an hour later, the signs of chronic poisoning clearly appeared on his neck
Minna did not hesitate, and immediately asked her mother to invite Selig and Manda and others to tea, and asked the maid of the house to find an excuse to take Beryl, and then quietly pulled Hebby, closed the door, and cast a spell to tell the truth that Hayt was suffering from chronic poison
Herbie immediately couldn't sit still: "What poison?!" Who did it?! Your Highness now... How's it going?! β
Minna hurriedly pressed him to sit back: "It's not life-threatening for the time being, this is a chronic poison, it has been latent in His Highness's body for at least a year or two, because the body is not strong, so His Highness is just weak, and it is easy to be injured and it is difficult to cure ordinary people with this poison, it will take at least three or four years to kill a person, and unless it is tested with a magic weapon while he is alive, it will not show any abnormalities, and everyone will think that the poisoned person is a normal death."
Herbie's eyes widened with anger: "It's too despicable! Who the hell did this?! β
"Hebby, calm down" Heyat surprisingly calmed down, "Miss Minna, do you know how I was poisoned?" Andβ" His tone suddenly tense, "I... Am I still saved? β
"Absolutely!" Minna smiled, "I know that an antidote can cure the poison in your body, but your body has been injured by the poison, very weak, may not be able to withstand the poison, for your future health, it is best to slowly pull out the poison and take some more body-tonifying magic pills at the same time, it will probably take a lot of time" paused, and said: "As for how you are poisoned, I don't know very well, this poison usually enters the human body through food, and according to the amount of toxins in your body, I'm afraid it's quite a lot, but luckily you haven't ingested the same toxin in recent months, so it's easier to heal now."
For some reason, Hayt suddenly breathed a big sigh of relief, and a smile resurfaced on his face: "Really? Then I'll give you my life, please heal me."
Compared with his ease, Hebby's request was more solemn, and he actually knelt in front of Minna on one leg, begging her to save his highness Minna hurriedly helped him up, and helplessly glanced at the prince who could only smile on the bed: "Okay, I will do my best"
She was just about to leave, but was stopped by Hayat: "Miss Minna, can I ask you to keep this matter a secret?" There is no other person than the three of us who knows."
Minna wondered, "Don't you even tell your brother and Beryl?" β
"To ask you, don't tell them"
"But you'll need a long time to heal, at least two months..."
"Then say that I'm too badly injured and in poor health, and need to recuperate for a long time," Hayt reached out and grabbed her, his eyes showing a pleading look, "Please promise me that I... I will not eliminate them, nor will I eliminate any more conflicts between them."
Minna suddenly understood what he meant, nodded, and when she returned to the studio, she didn't tell Alex, but the latter didn't care, just told her that she had discovered the truth about a recipe in the book that she had been unable to understand, and Minna immediately put aside other things and threw herself into this strange magic recipe
At dinner, everyone was a little surprised to learn that His Royal Highness the Grand Prince was seriously injured and needed to stay in Meiton for a long time to recuperate, but they both said that they would do their best to make His Highness's life comfortable, and the former secretly planned to send a secret letter to the General Security Administration, so that they could prepare in advance, so that the situation in Ito would not change badly
Beryl was shocked, and couldn't help but get irritable, even the magic study that she had always been most interested in couldn't make her concentrate, so she simply dropped her book and ran to Heyt's room to ask what was going on, but outside the door, she heard the second prince Selig telling Manda inside that she planned to return to Ito first and complete the last task of this outing trial
She immediately rushed in: "You're leaving?!" Why?! Are you going to leave your injured brother behind?! β
Selig glanced at her: "This is my brother's suggestion of my trial mission, there is still a lot of time left to detect the varieties of crops along the Babi River, we have been delayed for several days, and I must return to Ito before April to hand in the report, otherwise I will not be able to pass the test Brother said that he is just recuperating here, there is no need to delay my time"
"Your Highness said so, are you leaving?" Beryl had some bad premonitions in her heart, and instinctively wanted to stop him from leaving, "He saved your life, but you can't even take care of him until he heals from his injuries?!" β
Selig's face turned red suddenly, and Manda said urgently: "No, sister Selig, he just obeys the words of His Highness..."
"Your Highness has always been a kind person, but you can't just care about him because he's kind, right?!"
"Okay, Beryl" Hayat reluctantly stopped his sweetheart, "I let Serig go, he didn't pass the test last time because of an accident, if he fails again this time, he will be severely punished, my injury can't be cured in a short time, why bother him again?" And I'm doing well here, with Viscount Merton's family to take care of, and so many people protecting me, there's no need for Serrig to stay."
Beryl gave him a disappointed look, could this prince really be so stupid that he couldn't see how much harm Selig would do to him if he returned to Ito first? She sat on the edge of the bed and held his hand: "Your Highness, you also have a task, why don't you ask His Majesty the King to postpone the time for your brothers to submit their reports?" β
"There's no need for that," Hayt smiled slightly, "I still have nearly half a year to spare, which is sufficient, and what I want to do is to observe the livelihood of people all over the country, Merton is also a good observer, Beryl, I know you care about me, but I really think that there is no need to drag everyone here for me alone, and you are still here, your graduation trial has been completed, and you are only here, why don't you say it?" If you can't graduate this year for me, it will be too wronged for you."
Beryl was a little surprised, but also moved by his words: "It's nothing... I can't leave you here."
"But you've always been the first place, didn't you say that a competitor said to you, saying that she must be the place to graduate with the first place? If you delay the submission of the report and have to postpone your graduation by a year, won't she be laughed at? β
Beryl's face suddenly became serious, and she couldn't sit still at the thought that the ugly bastard would triumphantly show off to her, but she didn't feel good about leaving Heyt like this
Hayt continued to persuade her: "Go back, graduate with the first grade, don't give up the glory that belongs to you to others in vain Moreover, my father must be very kind to me, when you go back, tell him my situation in detail, please rest assured, okay?" β
Beryl didn't hesitate for long, she nodded, she suddenly thought that Selig would go back to Ito first, and the people who supported him would definitely spread rumors to attack Heyt, and she would go back earlier than him, wouldn't she be able to take precautions first?
They set off the next day, going in two ways, Manda and Selig all the way, because the mercenaries were unwilling to escort Beryl back under the pretext that the injuries were not healed, she had to borrow a few retinues from An Long, and Hebby and others continued to stay in the Viscount's Mansion to protect Hayat
Manda and Dora's mother and daughter said goodbye, and repeatedly invited them to Ito as guests, and finally Prince Serig was impatient, and dragged her to Marbelliel, but it was very simple, said hello, said a few polite words, and left Anlong without saying anything, Dora muttered a few words, Minna turned her head disdainfully, but accidentally found that the upstairs window opened a corner, and Heyt was supported by Herbie, leaning against the window to watch Beryl go away, and he was quite lonely
Is he reluctant to let his sweetheart leave?
Minna felt that this might be true, because in the next few days, His Royal Highness the prince had been depressed, and even the antidote and the healing pill were persuaded by Herbie for a long time before he was willing to drink it
When Alex learned about this, he sneered: "Say one thing in your mouth, think another thing in your heart, this is originally the nobles' tongbo, but it's really rare to be as unruly as him!" I fought for what I wanted and regretted it, and I felt sorry for myself every day, I really looked down on him! β
Minna: "Huh? Are you saying he doesn't actually want Beryl to leave? So why did he persuade her to go? β
"Who knows? Perhaps he was deliberately tempting? β
Test? Temptation of what? Minna felt even more confused
However, she also agreed with Alex, Hayt was so disappointing, as if he had suddenly lost his motivation, he was listless all day, and he had nothing else to do but look out the window in a daze, and Hebby didn't seem to know how to persuade him, and often he didn't dare to interfere anymore as soon as he was tough
This situation lasted for more than ten days, and Minna finally couldn't help it, stopped the cold water that Hebby had sent back, rushed to Heyt's room, and threw the tray in front of him: "Give me a drink!" I didn't waste my hard work for you! β
Hayat looked at her blankly, and Herbie and the others hurried in from outside the door: "Bold! How can you be rude to Your Highness?! β
Minna stretched out her hand and pointed at his nose: "I'm going to scold you again!" Do you dare to call yourself a loyal guard?! Knowing that his life would be in danger if he didn't drink it, he still let him go willfully?! If he refuses to drink, pour it on him! Like this! She pressed Heat's neck with one hand, picked up the bottle with the other and poured it hard, wiped his throat with her hand, and Heate only felt a cold throat, so she swallowed the water, but he was so shocked at the moment that he didn't know how to react, since he was a child, no one would treat him like this
Herbie pointed at Minna in surprise, her whole body trembling: "You, you..."
Minna raised her head nonchalantly: "What? Not convinced? Want to fight? Come on! She raised her little fist, "I'll tell you!" I don't care about people like you! Next time, I'll beat you up when I see you send you back!" will only blindly follow the guards without judgment, and there is no value in existence! She snatched back the tray and turned to leave, and as she passed the door, she punched the empty bookshelf next to it, and the sturdy wooden plank rumbled and shattered to the ground, and she glanced at the stone statues in the room, snorted coldly, and strode out
As soon as she reached the top of the stairs, she froze, and Dora stood there staring at her in shock, muttering, "Oh, my god of light..."
Minna coughed lightly and immediately put on a shy smile: "Mom, why are you still at home?" Didn't you say you were going out to a tea party? β
Dora ignored her words and said to herself: "It seems that it is not enough to learn at home, there are all rough people here, there are no real ladies except me, Minna needs to meet real ladies..."
Minna cautiously asked, "Mommy?" β
Dora straightened her expression and said solemnly, "Minna, your uncle wrote a letter asking if you want to go on a study tour to Ito's magic academy and learn the etiquette of high society by the way, what do you think?" β
Ay? Travel?
