"Natia Vida, what did you say to Sister Xia? Make her what she is now! ”

Inside the airship, Agnes angrily slapped the table in front of Natia Vida.

Natyavida glanced at her, stood up and turned to leave.

Maybe it was because she didn't mean to quarrel with her, or maybe she felt very tired, and the departing Natya Vida had exhaustion in her eyes.

"You!"

Agnes wanted to be angry, but was held back by Al.

The two turned their heads together to look at Xia, who was talking to everyone, their faces full of worry.

"What kind of person is Saipan?"

She asked the few magicians sitting next to her.

One of them recalled, saying:

"I remember that he came from the north, and his family was near the Sealand Mountains, and he was quite famous there, but not a particularly powerful nobleman, and this family was the Duke of Cantor...... That is, the affiliated family of President Wendy's father. ”

Saying this, he suddenly smiled disdainfully, and his eyes were full of sarcasm:

"It's just a money-hungry country nobleman, and the person in charge of keeping those ancient gold coins told me that I don't know when the bag for gold coins was missing...... Before leaving, this guy hadn't forgotten that Jì had taken his share of the money. ”

The ancient Morgu gold coins were very heavy and inconvenient to carry around, and in order to prevent loss, they were kept by special personnel.

Another added:

"As for Saipan, although he is a member of the Divine Magician Association to which President Wendy belongs, he is usually very close to the people of the Order, and many people have seen him have a close relationship with the Priests of Cultivation."

At this time, he seemed to hesitate, lowered his voice, and continued:

“…… This is my personal guess, and I always feel that Saipan seems to want to leave the Cantor family and officially join the Order. ”

Is it the Order again?

Natsu's fingers tapped lightly on his legs, and he sat there groaning.

She knew about the relationship between the Wendy family and the Order, and although on the surface the Duke of Cantor was the honorary bishop of the Order, in fact there was no contact between the two at all, just a false name.

Moreover, most of the magicians in the kingdom are from the Northern Dukedom, except for those directly under the Order, so the Cantor family's power in Westminster is quite strong, and there are many people who secretly call the Duke of Cantor the King of the North, which may not be without deep meaning.

"A huge territory, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, a sizable corps of mages, and itself the production of the kingdom's magicians; If it weren't for the fact that this Duke Cantor was not famous in the plot, I would have thought he wanted to rebel. ”

Xia sat there and thought for a while, then stood up and said to everyone:

"Go and get ready, and we'll be right away."

Seeing her indifferent expression, the magicians didn't dare to say more, and bowed and walked out.

Then she walked over to this side and said to Al and Agnes beside her:

"You also go and prepare, it may not be safe inside the airship, it is better to bring all your things."

There's a reason for that, because she smells a bad smell from the sudden disappearance of Saipan.

"I'm just the temporary captain, even if Saipan does anything, it's not a betrayal, but if he wants to be bad for Wendy, I will never sit idly by."

She walked down the stairs with a gloomy face.

"Sister-sama......"

Al watched Xia Tou leave without looking back, and didn't even look this way, his face was a little sad.

"Al, was Sister Xia like this before?"

Agnes couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, that's what it looks like."

Al seems to be recalling what Xia used to look like:

"Cold, doesn't seem to be interested in anything, she will never say a word when talking to her, and she doesn't like to be close to people very much, let alone touching her head like she did to you, I haven't been touched by her for a month since I knew her."

"This continued until the space was transferred......"

Al remembered that when he went to the dormitory that morning, Natsu held himself and Natiana Vida in his arms, and his face was a little shy.

Agnes hadn't met Xia before, and although both of them were in the elite class, some people in that class didn't necessarily go to class once a year, and she herself was a magician who needed a lot of time to study, and she was only known to each other.

Xia's reputation in the school park is definitely not smaller than that of Agnes.,It's just that it's just a sharp edge with Agnes.,It's not the same as causing trouble everywhere.,She's never participated in any activities.,I've never heard of an argument with anyone.,In short, it's an unusually low-key student.。

"Oops! Don't push me, my back hurts. ”

Not far away, I heard the shouts of Abner.

Seeing that everyone was walking down from all over the place one after another, Agnes and Al did not stop, but followed the team out of the place that had been searched for several days.

Looking at the dark sky overhead, it seems that night on the island is about to fall again.

……

"Natsu, welcome back."

There were no thrills along the way, and after returning to the library, Natsu first went to find Wendy, who was still busy with affairs in the student union office.

Seeing the familiar pair of golden double ponytails, Xia originally wanted to go over and give her a hug, but when she thought of what happened before, she held back.

"What's wrong? He didn't look very happy. ”

Wendy took the initiative to come over and take her hand, and Natsu's heart trembled and she wanted to break away.

But seeing Wendy's concerned expression, she sighed secretly and didn't do that.

"I don't have anything to do, but I want to ask you about someone first, are you familiar with Saipan?"

Xia barely maintained that cold look and asked her.

"Saipan? He came back alone in the morning, and then it seemed that he went to Princess Evelyn's, and he didn't come to report to me, what's wrong? ”

Wendy asked, surprised.

Sure enough, he should have gone to find Mother Elisa.

Natsu's heart sank.

"Wendy, do you have time now? I have something very important to tell you......"

Natsu told her about the discovery of the airship, and the experience on the road was also slightly mentioned.

Wendy's expression changed as she listened, and Natsu felt sweat in her palms, and it seemed that she really cared about herself and those students, which made her a little moved.

"Xia, thank you for your hard work, I didn't expect this road to be so dangerous."

Wendy held her hand tightly and leaned over.

Compared to the airship that she didn't know if she could fly, she seemed to be more worried about Xia.

It's asking for your own life!

Xia looked at the closed door:

Isn't this time the two of them alone in the secret room?

"I have one more thing to ask you...... I hope you can tell me the truth. ”

Xia avoided Wendy's body without a trace and said to her solemnly.

"If you ask, as long as I know something, I will definitely answer it."

Wendy immediately sensed Natsu's estrangement, so she stopped her close movements and gently let go of her hand.

"What do you know about my background?"

Natsu said, looking into her eyes.

"Background?"

Wendy was a little confused:

"Aren't you the granddaughter of Prince Sacco, who is the uncle of His Majesty the current King, and you will be his only heir after his death."

The King's own uncle?

Xia was taken aback:

In this way, she is really a royal family.

The manual does not mention Xia's specific background, only that she has a connection with the royal family, but after Xia officially joined the Order as a Dharma Protector Knight, this connection is much weaker.

"The seal on the letterhead in the dormitory turned out to be the seal of the same Prince Sacco, Prince...... Is it one level higher than the Duke or the same level? In short, he should be a very remarkable figure in the kingdom. ”

Xia was not very familiar with Westminster, a background similar to that of Western countries on the earth, and he didn't know what the position of prince was after thinking about it for a long time.

But Wendy's following words made her understand her position:

"Xia, when you ask this, do you have an idea of the royal inheritance?"

"Inheritance? What inheritance. ”

Listening to her words, Xia felt that his mind was a little confused.

Wendy's voice became much more cautious than before:

"There are currently three people who are eligible to inherit the throne, Helarison, Evelyn, and you."

"Although Helrison was the only prince of the three, he came from a poor family and lacked strong support; And there is only one princess in the royal family, Evelyn, and you naturally have the right to inherit with your identity, and your hopes are high! Because Prince Saco has a lot of old tribes in the kingdom, and although he is dead now, his influence is still amazing. ”

After releasing a bomb that made Xia Bomb dizzy, she sighed and said:

"But if you're trying to ask for my support, you'll probably be disappointed...... I don't have much say in the family, and I will get married after graduation, and my father's personality is very old-fashioned, and most of the time he will not use the power of the family to help anyone get to the top. ”

Speaking of this, her expression became a little gloomy:

"My father promised me that he would choose a family with enough power to marry me off, and maybe he could help you with the power of the other family......

"Don't marry!"

Natsu suddenly grabbed her hands:

"You can't marry someone else!"

She shouted.

Wendy looked at her face in surprise, wondering why she suddenly became so excited.

But then she laughed and said:

"There's no way around it, let alone when you graduate, right? But you may not have so much choice, after all, the old men of the royal family are very ......"

She thought for a moment, and didn't seem to think of the right words to describe it, and then winked mischievously:

"You won't let me get married? It's so bad, if I don't have anyone to ask for it, will you marry me? ”

"I'll marry you!"

Xia Chongkou said.

Then I realized that I had put on a big oolong:

…… What will she marry?

"Poof-ha!"

Wendy suddenly laughed out loud, and laughed so hard that tears were about to fall out:

"Xia, you're so funny, are you here to trick me into being happy? WhewW...... Well, Her Majesty Queen of Westminster, the little girl Wendy is not talented, and I hope you will take care of it in the future. ”

As he spoke, he kissed her on the cheek.
