Chapter 110

Two color-tailed finch, dragging their long seven-colored tails, chirped through the sunlight outside the balcony. The wind chimes under the eaves make a crisp sound.

Eretia sat in the shadow of the balcony, quietly watching the garden downstairs. The dreamlike eyes, under the long eyelashes, hide a trace of sadness.

Susan stood silently behind Elethea, looking at the girl's near-perfect silhouette in the sunlight, and sighed softly in her heart.

Elethia is getting more and more beautiful.

It's a beauty that can capture anyone lightly, even if she's just sitting quietly, it's a mesmerizing landscape.

The first beauty in the mainland, this is not a title, but a kind of fate.

This fate made Eretia have an incomparable beauty as soon as she was born, but at the same time, it also destined her to be at the center of the storm for the rest of her life.

Just like a priceless gem, its existence is a kind of right and wrong.

No one knows whether beauty, for Elethea, is a blessing from God or a curse from the devil.

She can't choose her fate, she can only bear it, and she can only wait. Wait for the appearance of the one who can unlock her fate.

Susan was a little distressed.

Lately, Arya has become much more silent. Like when she was a child, she locked herself in a lonely world. I often sat like this for several prayers, looking at the garden in a daze.

And the cause of this qiē was only the death of the boy named Roy.

Susan had never hated heaven so much.

She didn't know what Roy had committed, so much so that the Heavenly Court would punish him. All she knew was how happy Eretia had been because of Roy.

A trip to the south two years ago was perhaps the right decision for Elethea in her life.

There, she met Roy, who was just a handyman at the time. Became friends with him. and moved by his heroic act of saving the civilians of Bollabelle, canonized him as his guardian knight.

In fact, this canonization is not only disregarded by the aristocratic circle, but even Susan is a little childish.

But. What happened next made everyone who questioned or even ridiculed Elethea for choosing a hillbilly to be the guardian knight and shut their mouths!

Susan couldn't count Roy's feats, she only remembered that every time Roy's news came, Eretia's eyes lit up with surprise, and her glorious red face.

Susan knew it was pride.

Sincere pride in your own guardian knight!

However, this qiē disappeared with the news of Roy's death. For two months. Susan never saw a smile on Elethea's face again.

"I'm a curse, am I?"

Susan remembered that Erethia had asked herself.

At that time, the girl was also like today, sitting alone in the shadow of the balcony, looking at the bright sunshine of the garden, and asked faintly.

"Just like Helen. ”

Helen was the first beauty in the mainland a hundred years ago. But also recognized as unfortunate. Her beauty has made her an object of competition for possession. Hundreds of thousands of people died because of her.

She can't control her own destiny and can only go with the flow. It's like a trophy tossing and turning between different men.

Eretia compares herself to Helen, apparently so disheartened that she counts Roy's death on herself.

It seems that as long as it has a little relationship with her. will be stained with misfortune. Whether it's a fiancé or a guardian knight.

Susan couldn't describe the sadness she felt when she heard this, and she couldn't persuade her, so she could only watch as Eretia became more and more silent day by day. Watch her lock herself in her inner world.

"Eretia," Susan said softly. "Want to go around town?"

The female swordsman squatted down, looked at Elethea, and said in a tone of pretended excitement, "I heard that next month, it will be the big competition of the three major academies, and now, many students from the provincial branches have arrived in the imperial capital one after another, and it is very lively." ”

"Oh?" said Eretia, still looking at the garden, absentmindedly, "Really?"

"yes. Susan nodded, seeing that Eretia was completely indifferent, and was hesitating to mention the news that the students of the Lulian branch had also arrived in the imperial capital, when she heard a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty!" Susan opened the door, surprised to see Edward standing alone in the doorway. There were no guards, no attendants and court deacons.

"I'm coming to see her. Edward walked briskly through the door and asked, "How is she feeling?"

"It's not good. Susan said with some frustration.

"Oh?" Unexpectedly, Edward didn't show concern, but smiled slightly, patted the female swordsman on the shoulder, and walked to the balcony, "Leave it to me." ”

Looking at Edward's back, Susan closed the door in confusion and shook her head. She didn't think Edward would do anything.

As Susan walked towards the balcony, she saw that after getting up from her chair, Elethea greeted Edward, who took her hand and said something.

Then, Eretia's eyes widened in shock and she suddenly covered her mouth.

"Really?" asked Elethea.

Edward smiled and nodded affirmatively.

Susan, who had just walked over, had not yet come to her senses before she was hugged by Ellethia.

The girl jumped and laughed, smiling like a flower, and jumping like a child.

"He's alive, Susan, Roy is alive!"

Susan was immediately petrified, and a huge surprise filled her chest, making her feel suffocated!

"Look," laughed Edward, "I knew you would be happy to hear the news. ”

"Father," said Elethea, holding Edward by the hand, begged as she went, "tell me what is going on?"

Edward, who was pushed into the couch, smiled and took the black tea that Susan poured quickly, took a sip and said, "The Barnes and Nobles have planted a big fight in Loulian, have you heard?"

Elethia and Susan looked at each other and nodded quickly.

How could it be that you haven't heard of it?

This matter should be in the recent past. In addition to the demons, one of the most shocking events in the empire.

Edward said that the Barnes & Nobles had planted a fight, but in fact, it should have been a fiasco.

Moreover, it was the collective fiasco of the four top families of the empire, including Prince Anthony, Archduke Feynman of Saxony, and Marquis Oscar of the province of Sinasiria!

It wasn't just Barnes & Nower Jr. who was killed. Even Fred, the Sanctuary powerhouse of Prince Anthony's family, fell in the city of Muni. And the root cause of this qiē is just that these families provoked a young mercenary named Leo!

When the news broke, the whole country shook. Not to mention Erecia and Susan, even the paupers in the slums of the imperial capital have heard of it.

What the two didn't understand, though, was why Edward had turned the conversation to this. They knew that Sophia had entered the palace today to see Edward, and Edward had made his position clear.

First of all. This matter has nothing to do with Archduke Adolf, and from the beginning to the end, Loulian has not even moved a finger up and down.

Besides, it was Scarlett and his gang who caused trouble in the territory of Lulian, and they couldn't stand up to it, and even their lives were saved by Adolf's intercession.

Therefore, even if everyone knows. Lulian is the biggest winner in this conflict, but no one can find fault with anyone.

And so it goes. Edward's waist was naturally stiffened, and after meeting Sophia, he summoned several elders of the House of Representatives, the family concerned, the Heraldic Chamber, the Ministry of Supervision, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Cabinet. Set the tone for this.

In general, the Barnes & Nobles want to take revenge, but on the surface, they can't borrow any strength. It was a matter between them and the "Ferdinand" family, and they had to settle it themselves.

Moreover, the solution is solved. They can't get involved with Lulian yet. Edward had sent a message to the Barnes and Noir, warning them not to touch this line, otherwise the Barnese would face severe sanctions from the Empire.

As for whether Prince Anthony and the other three families will join forces with the Barnes and Nobles, everyone is not too worried. After all, the people of the three major families are still in the hands of others, and while paying the ransom, a treaty admitting defeat must be signed.

Such treaties were supervised by the nobility of other empires, and could even be said to be endorsed by the credit of the aristocracy. If you want to tear it up, you have to make enemies of the entire aristocracy.

In this way, even if the three major families hate to death, they will not cooperate with the Bano family.

This means that although the earthquake was violent, the consequences of the aftermath were not severe. As long as Prince Anthony, the three major forces of Saxony and Sinasiri do not participate, the Barnes and Noble family alone will not be able to make too many waves.

When the demons went south and the empire was about to mobilize the power of the whole country to go north, this matter could have such a result, no wonder Edward was happy.

Ellethia and Susan also knew that in Edward's eyes, this was another heavy blow to the Donald family.

But what does this have to do with Roy?

In confusion, he heard Edward say leisurely: "I'm afraid you wouldn't have dreamed that that kid named Leo Ferdinand is Roy!"

Ellethia and Susan were dumbfounded.

You look at me, I look at you, a moan.

"This troublemaker!"

............

The carriage drove out of Tulip Garden Avenue in the western part of the imperial capital, farther and farther away from the Barnes & Noble's courtyard, until the iron gates and towering spires of latte art disappeared behind the trees.

"How's it going?" Sophia's body swayed as the carriage swayed. She tilted her head and looked at Mo Ya, who had just met old Barno.

Mo Ya said leisurely: "Seriously, you should really see the appearance of old Bano with your own eyes. I've never seen this old villain so wronged in my life. ”

"I can imagine it. Sophia laughed.

"I think he's going to smash his newly renovated study again!" Mo Ya laughed.

"Deserve it," the corners of Sophia's cold mouth evoked a rare hint of childish schadenfreude, "Who made his son so stupid, who is not easy to mess with, just mess with that guy!"

The guy ......

In front of Mo Ya's eyes, a face of a young man with a trace of cunning hidden in a daze appeared.

Although Mo Ya, who was in charge of the Ministry of Supervision and was feared by many of the top nobles and officials of the empire, she was strong enough to ask herself, but she still felt a sense of frustration in front of that young man who grew up like a demonic beast.

From a small handyman to the present, the growth speed of that kid makes Mo Ya feel scared.

Looking at Sophia beside her, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Lulian has always been the weakest province of the empire, especially in terms of talent. But who knows, if you don't come out, you won't come out, and as soon as you come out, such a terrible monster will come out.

Since the Battle of Medin City, the Lulian family has been lucky because of Roy, and has encountered crises again and again, not only has it not declined, but it has gone further.

This time too. I heard that the elves and dwarves each have a tribe that has joined Lulian. The other elven and dwarven tribes have also sent people to Lulian to understand the situation and discuss cooperation.

And this qiē was originally planned by Scarlett and others for a long time, but now it has cheapened Lulian for nothing.

"Say, how did that guy survive the punishment of the gods?" Mo Ya said thoughtfully, "Now he is mixed with a group of foreign races, and his strength has increased so quickly. How many secrets does he have?"

"Who knows. Sophia glanced at Mo Ya, "Why, Lord Inspector, your terrible curiosity has been piqued by him?"

Mo Ya raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Aren't you curious?"

She looked out the window leisurely, with a bewitching and dangerous light in her eyes, "Sophia, you'd better keep an eye on your children, otherwise it will fall into my hands, and I will let him spit out all his secrets to me obediently!"

Sophia frowned, and was about to say something, but because of Mo Ya's "your family", she thought of a sentence in her father Adolf's letter to herself, and her face suddenly became hot...... In the New Year, I wish you all a happy and healthy family...... (To be continued......)
