Chapter 90: I Trust You
Rob and Abs talked a lot, and it was already dusk when they left the courtyard.
His Excellency the future Ultra Magister walked out of the door and subconsciously tightened his collar, and the next moment a snowflake fell on his shoulder, and Rob realized that it had snowed outside since I didn't know when.
The branches and flower beds were covered with plain white coats, and the children in the street let go of their mother's hand and ran around the snow excitedly, but Rob couldn't help frowning at the sight of this.
Although New Telt is also considered northern, it is only September, and it is obviously not a normal thing for this kind of weather phenomenon to occur.
Some of the thinly dressed wanderers in the alley couldn't help but curse, but because of Williams' death and what happened in Setta, anti-church sentiment was growing in the city, and even these wanderers were reluctant to go to church for help as usual.
Fortunately, nearby vendors and residents also sent some warm clothes one after another, but for this sudden and unseasonable heavy snowfall, except for the carefree children, most people's eyes were clouded with a layer of worry.
This heavy snow is obviously not to bid farewell to Arbus in the city, or to Leonardo da Vinci and Steins, the Terran heroes who died in the city of Setta.
It's more like an elegy for the great beings who also fell in that war.
There was a faint sadness and loneliness in the song, and there was also a faint anger in addition to that.
- Killing gods comes at a price.
Ordinary people will be enthusiastic about the affairs of Setta, but for those who stand on the high ground, it is clear that the death of the Council Twelve is only the beginning, or it will not be long before the revenge of the gods will follow.
"Your Majesty. A middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament walked down the carriage on the side of the street, and he was holding a little girl in a fox fur in his hand, she looked timid, half-hiding behind the middle-aged man, but looking at Rob with irrepressible admiration and affection.
The middle-aged man introduced his identity before His Excellency the Future Super Magister spoke, "I am Henry Phelps Arthur Lehart, the eldest son of King Lehart VII of the Lionheart Empire, and this is Carmela, the sister of the house. ”
"Your Highness, Princess. Rob politely returned the salute.
"Your Majesty has learned that you and Madame Hatfilia have sent me and my sister to greet you in New Telt, and want to invite you to tonight's dinner, I wonder if you are free now?"
His Excellency the future Super Magus nodded, in the realm of the Lionheart Empire, Lehart VII's face still has to be given, not to mention that after the big incident in Seta City, he also wants to know what the attitude of the old Lion King is.
"Great, Princess Candace has taken Lady Hatfilia into the palace, and without further ado, let's get in the car. Henry opened the door for Robla himself.
In the carriage, Princess Carmela sat beside her brother with her legs folded and her palms on her knees, but her eyes peeked at someone opposite from time to time, as if she were a thief.
Rob also noticed this slightly pale, porcelain doll-like girl, she seemed to be very excited from the first time the two sides met before, which surprised the future Ultra Magister, the two sides did not have any intersection, and he didn't know what strange things Williams had instilled in his sister, so he naturally didn't understand where Princess Carmela's special affection for him came from.
Henry saw Rob's confusion and explained with a smile, "When I was a child, I heard a lot of stories about you, and it was Williams who told her. ”
At the mention of this name, there was a sudden silence in the carriage, and the smile on Henry's face also narrowed slightly, and he sighed, "What happened in the southwest of the empire is something that no one wants to see, and I have never seen Your Majesty so sad, until seven days later, I let my brother's coffin be buried, if you want to worship, I can take you to the royal cemetery after the dinner." ”
"Your Highness. Rob nodded.
Princess Carmela didn't speak, just lowered her head and clenched her palms.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace, the waiter opened the door, Henry got out of the carriage first, and just as he left the carriage, Princess Carmela suddenly spoke, and said firmly in a voice that only two people could hear, "The Lionheart Empire and the Lehart family will always be on your side." ”
The little girl's face flushed, and this sentence seemed to exhaust all her courage.
Rob raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, there is no doubt that this sentence does not match the identity of Princess Carmela, and the promise of an empire and family is not something that a little girl can do, but the future Super Magister His Excellency heard the sincerity and kindness contained in that sentence, so he also nodded, "Thank you." ”
Many things are like this, the hardest is the first time, and once it starts, everything becomes a matter of course, Princess Carmella gradually faded away from her previous shyness, blinked her jewel-like pure eyes and asked, "You...... You're going to get revenge on Brother Williams, right? ”
Rob reached out and touched the girl's head, and said seriously, "Of course, I promise you in the name of the guardian of the human race that none of the masterminds can escape what happened to your brother. ”
The girl's eyes lit up, and she wanted to say something more, but then Henry's voice came from outside, "Carmela, your favorite honey cake is baked, would you like to have a piece first?"
"I believe in you. When Princess Carmela said this, she jumped out of the carriage with her skirt in hand, and ran away like a happy little bird, despite her brother's astonished gaze.
"It's rude. Henry apologized to Rob as he stepped out of the carriage, "This kid doesn't usually do that. ”
"No, Princess Carmela is simple and kind, and no one will dislike her. ”
"She would be glad to hear your compliment. Henry stretched out his hand, "The dinner is ready, just waiting for you to be seated." ”
............
Lehart VII has a banquet in the palace tonight and is more of a private invitation than a banquet.
There were no other guests except Rob and Lolo, and the only people attending the banquet were Lehart VII himself, the two princes, and the prime minister of the empire, Pushkin.
The chef's hard work and hard work can be seen in every dish on the table, but unfortunately no one paid attention to the food tonight.
Lehart VII looked good, and although the loss of a son had devastated him for a while, there was a vast empire to manage, so he had little time to bask in his grief and had to pick himself up quickly, perhaps as a politician.
