Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mansion

After Xu Mu and Ai Lu left, Tora returned to the living room with a strange expression.

Torah had just tried to investigate the situation, but the inside of the hall was covered with magic, making it impossible for him to probe the situation, and if he hadn't sensed that the magic shield was a spell cast by Queen Heane, he would have called people around the hall to break the light shield.

"Her Majesty... Those two people, really make them knight alternates?"

"yes, didn't I say that earlier? Have you forgotten?" Xenia looked at Torah flatly, "By the way, the one named Xu Mu just now is now the captain of the royal knights." ”

Torah heard something unbelievable, and was silent for a while, and suddenly erupted: "Your Majesty, what are you doing here? What are you! Did those two just say something to the Queen?"

"It did say something useful. ”

"Then you can't give him the position of captain of the royal knights! The royal knights are the face of the Heaney royal family, and they are the team that protects the safety of Her Majesty! How can you let someone who is not a nobleman of your country be the one?!"

Xenia sat back on the throne, lazily holding her cheek with one hand, squinting at Torah's angry face, she smiled lightly: "Torah, are you teaching me to do things?"

Torah was stunned, then lowered her head: "Torah doesn't dare..."

"Stand down, I'm tired from today's march. And it's a festive day, so if you have time, you might as well go back and meet your family. ”

"Yes..."

Torah gritted her teeth and turned to exit the hall, and Xenia looked at the old departing figure, her brown-red eyes revealing a hint of disgust.

Out of the corner of the parlor, the humility on Torah's face was swept away in exchange for a resentful countenance, and he gritted his teeth and babbled at himself, not knowing what he was talking to himself.

......

On the way back to the hotel, Xu Mu saw that Ai Lu was very distracted, and he lowered his head absent-mindedly.

"Ailu, what's wrong with you?"

"I... I didn't think much. ”

Xu Mu saw that Ai Lu's right hand was still clenched, he went over to break his hand away, and found that the ashes of the magic power identification stone were still in his palm, he couldn't help but smile lightly: "What's wrong with you? Do you think I've deceived you?"

Ai Lu looked up at Xu Mu's apologetic smile, she took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just feel a little incredible... After all, you can adapt to the seven systems of magic, not to mention in the Heaney Kingdom, even in the world, I have never heard of it. ”

"It's okay. Xu Mu thought of something, "After that happens, what should we tell Sleta?"

"It's... It's a bit hard to explain. ”

"yes, I can't go back and say happily. Hey Sleta, your brother and I are a nobleman!"

Seeing Xu Mu talking like this, Ai Lu covered his mouth and laughed: "I don't think Sreta will believe it." ”

"That's not... Originally, Sleta's expectation that I would become a nobleman was five or six years later, but who would have thought that her fantasy would be fulfilled today. ”

"Where can it still be a fantasy that has been realized, besides, you are not a nominal nobleman now. ”

Xu Mu scratched his head, he had just heard Xenia say so much, but he didn't fully understand it, after all, he was a little resistant to this social class, so he didn't understand it very thoroughly.

Seeing Xu Mu's puzzled expression, Ai Lu explained: "Just like Queen Heaney just said, the captain of the royal knights must be a nobleman to be responsible. However, we are civilians, and it is logically impossible to be the captain of the Royal Knights, but from Queen Heaney's point of view, she has promised you nobility, which means that when you return from the Academy of Magic in two years, you will be given a title and fief, and then you will be a real nobleman. ”

"So because I was promised nobility rights, even if I am a future nobleman, I can also serve as the captain of the royal knights?"

"Yes, although you are not a nobleman in the exact sense of the word, you do have the right to exercise the privileges of nobility. Ai Lu thought for a while and said in detail: "Anyway, you just think of yourself as a nobleman, but a nobleman without a title or fief." ”

"I see. ”

"As for Sreta's... I think you better talk to her, I'm afraid she won't believe it, and I think you're making her happy. ”

Xu Mu smiled and shook his head, he suddenly remembered something: "Anyway, Queen Heaney just gave us the commission..."

"You're already the Queen's Knight Captain... It shouldn't be called a commission, it should be called a task. ”

"Oh, the mission. Anyway, do you think it's strange about that mission, why do you want to spy on her sister, who is her sister?"

Ai Lu looked left and right and saw that there was no one nearby, and lowered his voice: "When the original King Heaney was not dead, there were only two princesses in the Heini Kingdom, and there were no princes, which can be regarded as a helpless matter." The eldest princess is named Hea, and the second princess is called Sheenia, who is now Her Majesty the Queen. Although I don't know about the royal family of Heaney, it seems a little strange that Princess Heenia ascended the throne a year ago... After all, in terms of priority, Princess Heaney is the eldest princess, so she is the rightful heir, and Princess Hini should be the queen of Heaney's Kingdom. ”

"This..."Xu Mu didn't think about it that deeply, after all, his purpose was very simple, that is, to learn magic, and then live comfortably with Ailu and Sresta.

"But what happened in this is none of our business. The cold wind blew, and Ailu closed his robe: "After all, we are now loyal to His Majesty Xenia. ”

"That's right. ”

Xu Mu became the captain of the royal knights in a daze, and then listened to Ai Lu explain that he was still a nobleman without a title and fief.

Although I don't fully understand it, it seems that I am very good now.

Either way, it's all about living in the moment.

Xu Mu and Ai Lu returned to the hotel, and found that Sleta was very obedient and did not run around, sitting alone in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, looking stupidly at the lively street outside the window, as if they were yearning for it, and wanted to join the lively crowd of people who went in to celebrate the festival.

Xu Mu smiled and patted Sleta's head, recalling her thoughts that were out of her body.

The three of them returned to Xu Mu's room and sat down, and Sleta smiled and spoke first: "Brother, you and Sister Ai Lu really collided with the queen and lined up in the city, and you can still get out of the city, it's really amazing!"

"You know all about this?" Xu Mu touched Sleta's head vigorously, "You are very obedient today and haven't gone out." ”

"After all, my brother's request, although Sreta is really bored in the hotel alone, and she is also worried about you. But when I was in a daze on the first floor, I listened to the people chatting at the hotel, and suddenly someone said about you, saying that my brother and Sister Ailu collided with the queen and were exonerated in a queue, and even the queen wanted to meet you privately!" ”

Ai Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, it's nothing..."

Sleta remembered something, and suddenly interrupted Ailu's speech: "Brother, Sister Ailu, I just heard some people talking below, and the content of the conversation is some... Taboo. And because I'm a kid, they don't particularly care, otherwise I don't think I would have talked about it when I was there. ”

"What did you say?"

"It's just... About Queen Heaney. Sleta lowered her voice, "I heard from the people in the hotel that King Heaney died a year ago, and it should be the eldest princess who is the heir to the throne, but it seems that the eldest princess Heaney suddenly lost her sight in those days, resulting in the inability to ascend the throne, and this is the second princess who ascended the throne." ”

Hearing the rumors that Sleta said, Xu Mu and Ai Lu looked at each other, and they were also a little shocked in their hearts.

"Even, some people speculate that the second princess designed to frame the eldest princess in order to ascend the throne, making the eldest princess blind..."

Xu Mu suddenly interrupted: "Don't talk about this in the future." ”

Sleta was taken aback by Xu Mu, a little unclear, and didn't know if she had said something wrong.

Ai Lu sighed in her heart, she didn't know if Xu Mu was on a thief ship, if the rumors were true, then Xu Mu became a royal knight, and then she had to monitor the eldest princess who had been framed and blinded for Xenia, so is this considered aiding and abusive?

Ai Lu is a kind and upright person, but Xu Mu is not, he doesn't care if Xenia uses improper means to become the queen of the Heaney Kingdom.

On the one hand, he has sworn allegiance to Xenia, it stands to reason that he is still the captain of the royal knights, and his own interests are tied to Xenia, on the other hand, his personality is not black and white, as long as things can be controlled by himself, he can accept many things.

Besides, he has heard many versions of this story of the struggle for power on the throne, and it is even more exciting than this.

I don't know if this rumor is true or not.

"Brother, did Sreta say something wrong just now?" asked Sreta weakly.

Xu Mu shook his head: "No... It's just that it's better to say less about this kind of thing in the future, and even if we want to talk about it in the future, we can only talk about it in private. Actually, some special circumstances happened today, well... It's your brother, and I'm now the captain of Queen Heanie's knights. ”

"Captain of the Knights?" Sleta was stunned at first, and then looked weird: "Brother, you have to find a good reason to make Sleta happy." Don't think Sreta doesn't understand, the queen's knights are royal knights, and the captain is also a nobleman. If my brother is the captain, isn't my brother a nobleman?"

"Ahem... My brother is now..."

Before Xu Mu finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

"May I ask if Lord Xu Mu lives here?"

Xu Mu glanced at Ai Lu strangely, Ai Lu shook her head with a smile and got up to open the door, in fact, she had a premonition that someone would come to look for Xu Mu.

You must know that Xu Mu is now the captain of the royal knights and a future nobleman, how can he still arrange to live in a hotel?

The door opened, and three servants dressed in white entered, one of whom knelt down with a smile.

"Lord Xu Mu, Her Majesty has just instructed me to take you to the mansion. ”

Xu Mu was stunned: "You mean that we have a place to live for a long time?"

"Of course, you are the captain of the Royal Knights, how can you let you live in such an uncomfortable place. ”

Sleta listened to the conversation a little incredible, for the incomprehensible things, her sensitive heart subconsciously afraid to dodge, and whispered on the side: "Since you want to change places to live, then Sleta will help her brother pack her luggage first." ”

As soon as Sleta came to Xu Mu's bedside and was about to start packing her luggage, the servant on the side immediately rushed over and said with a smile: "How can such a lowly thing bother Lord Xu Mu's sister, it's better to come down." ”

Sleta looked at the servant who was serving in front of her, her eyes blinking, as if she had discovered a new world.
