He was about to say something, when he suddenly saw the king's movements and breathed a breath

Her attention had just been drawn to her daughter's marriage and the king's sudden order, and she had almost forgotten her original plan, and now she came to her senses when she saw the cup in the king's hand

This gold goblet encrusted with rubies was not used for drinking when she had just sent off the Van Ah and Noga missions, but was just sent by the attendants, and it was the one she had arranged in advance, and she quickly glanced at the attendant behind the king, and recognized that it was not the person she had arranged, but it seemed to be the person's assistant, could it be that the attendant did not want to bear the charge of sending poisoned wine, so he found someone else to be a substitute for the dead ghost?

It didn't matter, as long as the things were prepared as she told them to be, and she would "reward" the attendant afterwards

The queen stared at the king's movements with her eyes, her eyes were a little complicated, and she saw that the mouth of the cup was getting closer and closer to his lips, her breathing became heavier, and her heart suddenly hesitated: "Your Majesty..."

"What?" The king removed his glass and looked at his wife lightly

The queen regretted it again, and bowed her head weakly: "It's nothing, I just think it's too early to give the territory to Selig now, he is still young, and he has no experience, how can he govern the territory well?" Let's let him study by His Majesty's side for two more years."

The king seemed a little disappointed: "He is about to be twenty-one years old, he is already an adult, why can't he do it?" Alburn inherited the family's domain at the age of sixteen and managed it well for a few years, so wasn't Selig as good as his cousin? He has already learned the knowledge in the books, and what is needed now is practice, and it has been decided that I will also send excellent officials to assist him, you don't need to say more."

The queen was anxious to refute, but heard her son say to herself: "Mother, I am willing to go to the territory, I already have a lot of plans, don't stop me" She couldn't help but be angry that she had spent so much effort for this son, why couldn't he understand his mother's heart? It must have been the Manda who taught him badly!

The queen glared at Manda fiercely, and then glanced sharply at several ministers below, motioning for them to speak, one of the ministers hesitated, but suddenly felt someone behind him poke him, and immediately withdrew his foot, continued to maintain his original posture, respectfully listening to the king's instructions, and the others did not move

The queen's face was blue and she wondered why these people had suddenly changed, could Lichen be afraid of the king? She rolled her eyes and decided to let the king drink first, and then when she looked back, she found that her husband had already finished half his glass and put it back in its place, but he seemed to be fine

What's going on? The queen stared at the glass and saw that the king was confused

"I have something to announce about the third prince," the king added, "Gadmon is not young, and he should begin to receive a formal royal education, and I intend to let him move out of the queen's palace and live in a palace on his own from next month, and at the same time, two teachers will be sent by the Noble Primary College of East to give him pre-school education, and he will be officially enrolled in a year, but from tomorrow onwards, I will also personally teach him to handle government affairs," he turned to his younger son, "You don't want to be like your second brother."

Selig smiled and didn't care about his father's comments, Gadmund laughed dryly, and secretly glanced at his face, and after thinking about it, his mother approached his father and said with a smile: "But I prefer to ride a horse and shoot arrows, or else... Can you find me a Nishiwa riding teacher? I'm more interested in being a generalissimo than a generalissimo, and I don't want to be like a big brother and read documents in my room all day long! ”

The king smiled: "Really? Fortunately, the children of the royal family also need to learn swordsmanship and horsemanship, Goodwin, are you willing to become a teacher of Gadmonti? I remember when I was at the academy, you had the best results in riding and brocade."

The curtain was lifted on the side of the main hall, and Goodwinlov quietly came out of the curtain, and people were surprised to find that he was only in his forties, he was already gray, and he was described as thin, and although he was in good spirits, he looked at least ten years older than his actual age! Everyone could not help but think that he was rumored to have a dispute with his parents and brother because he insisted on refusing to accept the marriage arranged by the family, and if he had not been still holding a high position by the king's side, he might have been punished

Goodwin ignored the whispers of the crowd, but walked up to the king and bowed to him: "Your orders, Your Majesty" and then bowed to Gardmon: "It is an honor"

Gadmund smiled and saluted the teacher in a proper manner, and Goodwin accepted it without hesitation, and then quietly retreated behind the curtain, and people only vaguely saw that there seemed to be two tables behind the scenes, on which there was pen and paper, and behind one of the tables sat another person

The king was very satisfied, and he had arranged all three sons, and when he glanced at his wife, and seeing that she was staring at him closely, he asked, "Queen, do you have any opinion?" ”

"No," the queen gritted her teeth and replied that she told herself to be patient, that it was normal for her youngest son to move out when he was old, and that he had become more and more naughty in the past two years, and that he was not at all intimate, and that he could also breathe a sigh of relief if he moved away, and that the poisonous wine that the king drank would attack immediately, and that there was no need to conflict with him until then

The king looked at her face and sighed slightly, then turned to his daughter again: "Sarah, I am very dissatisfied with the way you behaved just now, it seems that I have spoiled you so much that you can't even remember the proper etiquette of a princess, don't forget that it was you who asked me for this marriage, and openly repented in front of the missions of other countries, and you caused us Easter to lose face!" ”

Sarah's eyes were red aggrieved: "Father, I'm unwilling, he is obviously my marriage partner, why does he want to be courteous to other women?!" Haven't you heard the rumors out there? This is simply insulting to me! ”

“

Before deciding, he had the right to reprimand any young lady he admired with a straight face, "Originally, we had already decided to exchange marriage letters, but because you made such a fuss, the matter had to be postponed, and it may be canceled in the future, this is all caused by you, and you actually didn't realize your mistake at all, it's really disappointing to me!" ”

"But I'm not reconciled!" Sarah cried, "Since he will be my husband, he should love me alone, why should he like other women?!" If he can't be faithful to me, I'd rather not marry like this! Father, you can't sacrifice the happiness of your only daughter for the sake of your country! ”

The king was angry and amused when he heard this: "You grew up in the royal family, don't you understand? You are the princess of East, you were born to be supported by the state, and you will contribute to the country in the future! Don't say those naïve words, you're not a commoner's daughter! After a pause, he added, "Duke Jada is very good, and you don't appreciate him, do you?" No matter which young lady he is in love with now, as long as you work hard in the future, you will definitely be able to get his love, don't be willful! ”

Sarah opened her mouth to say something, but heard her father instruct her attendants: "Go and move the princess's belongings to Princess Diana's palace from tomorrow, she will live there" She asked in surprise: "Father, what are you doing here?!" ”

The king said lightly: "Since you are going to get married next year, to become a competent queen, there are still many things you have to learn, your aunt will be in charge of your pre-marital education, I will also invite your two cousins to live in the palace and teach you the truth of being a wife, and the Security Department will send several female agents who are familiar with the customs of Nuojia to help you study hard and don't be distracted."

Sarah hurriedly said, "No! Educate my mother before marriage to teach me, she is the queen, isn't it more suitable than my aunts? ”

"Your mother is not good at educating her children," said the king coldly, "and she doesn't have that free time to do so, and I won't change my mind."

Sarah cried and threw herself on the queen, who turned pale with anger, glared at her husband fiercely, and saw that he was unmoved, and her heart hated even more, and immediately turned her head to glare at the ministers: "Deputy Prime Minister! Director Hook! Director Newman! Marquis of Kirtas! Mandheling..."Suddenly finding that Viscount Mandheling was not in the super voice, he was even more annoyed, "Count Bowe! Why don't you speak?! ”

The ministers and nobles who were named all bowed their heads, and after a while, Count Bowie took the lead and smiled: "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has announced that the land is an internal affair of the royal family, and there is nothing wrong with it, we have nothing to say."

The queen was so angry that she wanted to slap his fat face: "Don't forget... Yesterday's thing..."

"What did we do yesterday?" The Earl of Bowie continued to laugh and say, "It's just old friends getting together for a cup of tea," and he looked up at the king: "Your Majesty, you say, don't you?" ”

The king smiled slightly: "Yes, I have heard that there will be such a party next time, don't forget to inform me that I still remember the good wine you have in your house."

The Earl of Bowie and several other people who had been named by the queen looked at each other, and bowed to the king in unison: "It is an honor"

The queen slowly slumped into her seat, her face pale if she lost the support of her ministers and nobles, what else could she do? But she never understood that even if these people were discovered by the king, there was no reason for them to give in so easily. They are a thorn in the king's side! To give in is to perish!

The sergeant guarding His Royal Highness came to report: "Your Majesty, the warriors of the Demon Extermination Land have returned!" ”

There was a stirring among the ministers and nobles, some of whom knew that there was something wrong with their families, others whose children were involved, and they were all very concerned about the king, and they were busy, saying, "Let them come in."

Dozens of knights with blood stains and scars rushed in, and during the process, the injured family members exclaimed, and Elon was surprised to find that not only his own son Bewen was among them, but even his niece was also in a red dress

Alben walked up from behind the queue and signaled to Bewen, who came out with him, knelt down on one leg before the king, and reported: "Your Majesty, the demons have been exterminated, nine of our personnel are seriously injured, forty-eight are slightly injured, after the monks have treated them, none of them are in danger of life, there are fifty-two people in total, of which thirty-nine are dead, and the rest are under control."

The king smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, hard work" He turned to Bewen: "I was very surprised when I received your application, but I also understand your ambition, and the descendants of Earl Xiao are really good!" Your father and uncle were both heroic in the war, your cousin Minter gave his life for the country, and you also made great contributions, and today, I heard that you have a cousin who is not inferior to the knights in the face of the demons, is that true? ”

Bewen was a little surprised, they had just returned, had someone already reported the truth to the king? He quickly replied "yes" and turned back to Minna to come up

Minna glanced at the curtain where Mallory was nodding to her, and bowed her head to the king

The king laughed and said, "I really can't imagine that such a beautiful and lovely girl is actually a legendary female warrior, I am really glad that the descendants of Count Xiao, both men and women, are all out of the se" He lowered his voice: "You are the same, aren't you?" ”

Minna folded, understood the meaning of the king's words, and shrank her head a little embarrassed

Princess Sarah was very angry when she saw this: "Father, how can you praise her?!" She's the woman who seduced the duke! ”

The king was furious and glared at her, she was frightened, but she couldn't help but glare at Minna: "She's just hateful..."

Gritted his teeth and glared back: "Your Royal Highness Princess, there is no such thing as me."

You've been trafficked into the desert a long time ago, and I don't blame you for saying such things to me?! ”

Princess Sarah was stunned: "What? After thinking about it, he opened his mouth wide: "How is it possible?!" She is obviously from Shaonan! ”

"I don't know which country you are, so I said it casually" Minna remembered the suffering she suffered back then, and the resentment in her words became even heavier, "I saved you, just begging you to take me home, you just agreed, just take care of me, how much suffering you have caused me to suffer" I feel sad when I think about it, "Fortunately, I met a kind person, otherwise I don't know where I am today!" Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Pedika standing on the side with an uncomfortable face, and said angrily: "And the guy you instructed to come here!" I saved you, and he threw me into the street, and when I escorted His Highness back to Ito, he treated me like a prisoner! How can there be such a hateful guy in the world? No one is loyal to the royal family except him? How many shallots does he count?! ”

"Green onions?" Sarah didn't understand, but she hadn't forgotten the point, "Even then, you shouldn't talk to the duke..."

"I knew that guy before I knew you," Minna waved her hand, "He's very ambitious, if he doesn't fight with us, I'll consider him a friend, otherwise I won't be soft on the battlefield!" If you really want to marry him, you'd better be careful, but for your own sake, don't marry, I guess you won't be able to stand it."

"Ahem," the king suddenly felt an itchy throat, cleared his throat, and smiled at Minna, "I already understand what is going on, Minna, thank you very much for helping Sarah when you were a child, it seems that I have to add an extra thank-you gift in addition to the reward" He turned to Alben and Bewen: "Let everyone go back and recuperate in peace, everyone involved in the operation, I will give a month's vacation, the Treasury has prepared the bonus, and it will be delivered to everyone in three days"

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Alben saluted with Bevin, and the latter said, "Your Majesty, during this operation, Alex, the youngest son of Viscount Mandhelning, also participated in the operation and assisted in the extermination of the demons."

"Really?" The king remembered the young magician who had come to see him in the morning, and a happy smile appeared on his face, "I see, of course such a good young man will be duly rewarded"

As various reward orders were issued, the king announced several small things, including Xiao... The Kado family was about to acquire a small town west of Idong with a population of about 500 people as a territory, and a subsidiary of the Chulov family and another official were appointed as the directors of the two major iron mines in the former Mandheling region. The assignment of many children of great nobles, including Cardo, and so on

After the matter was announced, the king announced the end of the court, and the people walked out in twos and threes, and many people rushed to the injured child at the first time, asking for the details, that is, worrying about his health, and also rejoicing that he had made a meritorious service, but there were also officials who unfortunately lost their families, and choked up sadly, and the noise of the people was not stopped for a long time, and finally they left the hall at the urging of the court attendants

Only the king's family was left in the palace, and King Valfred III looked at his children and said, "What are you doing here?" Heyat, have you taken care of today's political affairs? Selig, go write out your land plan, and show me, I won't allow you to mess around in the territory! Gardman, Sarah, you're moving out of the palace and getting things in order! ”

The princes answered, and soon withdrew, and the king, seeing that Sarah was still late, said, "Do you not want to show something for the mistreatment of your benefactor?" Just go! Remember, you're going to start your bridal class tomorrow! ”

Sarah pursed her lips and left the palace in three steps, and now only the king and his wife remained

The king looked at his wife, who was sitting in a chair, and walked over with a cup: "Are you thirsty?" Drink some bars"

The queen casually wanted to refuse, but suddenly found that he was holding the golden goblet inlaid with rubies, and half a glass of wine in it, so her face turned white: "You don't need to drink it!" She gasped a few times, and gradually calmed down, anyway, her husband had already drunk, and it should be too late...

But the king quietly put the wine glass to her lips: "Drink, you will be better off if you drink it" As he spoke, he gently pressed his wife's shoulder to prevent her from dodging: "Don't you drink?" Shall I feed you a drink? ”

The queen was frightened and wanted to avoid the glass, but she felt the mouth of the glass close to the corner of her mouth, and the aroma of the wine seemed to be on her lips, and she finally couldn't help but push her husband away vigorously: "Don't! As soon as the words came out, she realized that the wine in the cup just now was not the kind she confessed, her face suddenly turned white, she looked at her husband, and said tremblingly: "You... You've known that for a long time, haven't you? ”

The king put down his glass and said lightly: "I am more than ten years older than you, and my affection has been given to Miranda, so I can't give you the love of a husband to his wife, therefore, I always feel guilty for you, and I will indulge you in many things" He looked up at the queen: "But that doesn't mean that I will always be indulgent"

The queen's eyes burst into hatred, and she pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing

The king sighed faintly and called out behind the curtain: "Mallory" Mallory stepped out in response, and he said: "Go and tell Leah, things can be done" Mallory bowed: "The carriage is ready, just wait outside the side door" and left silently

The king turned to the queen and smiled softly: "Lorna, do you remember the little castle we went to on vacation when Serrig was born?" I've asked someone to clean it up, you... How about staying for a while in the past? ”

=====================I'm ================= the dividing line where the scene is transformed

Outside the main hall, it was already evening, and Alex was smiling helplessly at his brother Atre in front of him: "It's okay, second brother, I'll just go out and avoid it."

Atray angrily tugged at his collar: "You actually said it so easily?!" I was scared to death by you! I thought it was my father who suddenly changed his mind, but I didn't expect it to be you! Do you know what the concept of two mines is?! Father will kill you! ”

"That's why I have to avoid" Alex broke away from his hand, "Calm down, second brother, since I dare to do it, I am not afraid of my father chasing and killing, but it is not my style to sit and wait for death, so I will hide for a while and wait for my father to figure it out, and he will understand me"

"You—" Atrey endured it, but was still deflated, "Forget it, you take care of yourself, remember to write home!" If my father would tear the letter to shreds, send it to me or my brother or sister" He took out his pocket for his clothes, took out a gold pocket watch and a wallet, took off the ring on his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "I only have these on me, you find a place to stay, and I will go back and get you some money"

Alex smiled: "No need, I still have it, don't worry" He glanced at Minna, who was talking to Mallory not far away, and smiled slightly: "Maybe I'll take the opportunity to travel outside for a while"

The goodbye brother, he met Minna, and found that her face was tense and seemed very unhappy, so he asked, "What's wrong?" He took out his wand and straightened her clothes

Minna cleaned her face with her hand, and said sullenly: "Mallory said that I said the wrong thing just now, and told me not to appear in public as much as possible before Princess Sarah got married, especially these days, it is best to find a place to hide nearby, it's really too much!" ”

"What did you say wrong?"

"I told Princess Sarah not to marry Jada," Minna flattened, "Of course I know I shouldn't say it, but whoever Easter marries him is a tragedy, and I'm just for her good!" ”

Alex opened his mouth and looked up at the sky: "The weather will be nice tomorrow, it's a sunny day"

"Really?" Minna looked up, "How do you see that?" It's dark."

"Autumn is really the best time to go out," Alex clapped his hands suddenly, "Why don't we go on a trip!" ”

"Travel?"

"That's right! I know that a ship will leave the harbor early tomorrow morning and sail along the Manado River, and you always tell me that you used to go out with Count Shaw, why don't we go all over again? ”

Minna was a little moved: "Yes, that's right! Although Melonory told me to hide for a few days, I guess he was hinting that I was going to hide in the dark nest and work and dream! We went out so that he could not find him! However, she had a different opinion about Alex's plan: "It's too impractical to follow the route of the year, why don't you go to Matt to see my grandfather first, and then go up the Bebe River and go back to Mayton?" A surprise for my mom and dad! ”

"Great idea!" Alex naturally applauded, "Speaking of which, if you want to study, you don't have to be in Ito, it's better to go to Shaonan!" I also went with Professor Soren and heard that you have finally been promoted to associate dean, and as an apprentice, you should congratulate the teacher! ”

"That's right, it's time for me to take the Wizard exam, and last time Grandpa Sennet said I was qualified," Minna became happier the more she thought about it, "That's it!" Go back to Merton first, and then borrow Grandpa Sennet's basement house to go to the Magic Capital, I tell you, that mountain jump is fun and exciting! You'll love it! ”

The two of them were talking and laughing, and they had already arrived in the downtown area, and suddenly heard people gathered on the side of the road to talk about today's demon extermination operation

"You said that the demon is like a big bat, is it real? But I've heard that demons are like big bugs! ”

"That's a Warcraft! I've seen it with my own eyes! ”

"What was the situation? I heard that many knights were injured? ”

"That's right, there was really no way to take that demon clan at that time, and later, Young Master Bewen of the royal knights, who was the son-in-law of the Egan family, arrived, and he and his cousin Miss Minna killed the demon clan together, and it seems that there is a very powerful magician who also helped"

"It's amazing, I've seen Brother Bewen, I can't see that he's so powerful?"

"I've also seen his cousin, tall and thin, just like other little girls, but she slashed the demon clan... Gee... It's..."

"How?"

"That's amazing! What a granddaughter of an epic hero! ”

"I think that magician is very powerful, didn't he burn the demons to death in the end?"

"Oh, Ito has a new legend born..."

Minna and Alex looked at each other, and quickly slipped away, but when they passed the corner, they met a small child, their eyes widened, and they exclaimed, "Ah! It's a hero sister! Without waiting for Minna to stop, he turned around and shouted, "Mom, Mom, it's my sister who saved me!" ”

His mother hurriedly ran over: "Ouch, it's Miss Benefactor!" Minna Khan had no choice but to drag Alex away, but she didn't expect to meet a few more citizens who came to see the "legendary heroine who saved people" and recognized Alex: "Hey? Aren't you the legendary magician who killed the demons?! ”

Alex smiled and nodded to the other party, and quickly pulled Minna to run in the other direction, and heard him shouting, "Don't be obsessed with us, we're just legends..."

A few silver bells of laughter echoed through the air, echoing through the streets
