Chapter 531: Farewell

With a "snap", the heavy door was pushed open heavily, and the Count of Dragontide, dressed in a gown, hurried into the room. It is quite rare and out of shape for a nobleman like him to act so recklessly.

At the very least, Princess Sophia, who was reclining opposite him and reading a book, had slightly furrowed eyebrows, revealing her displeasure at her husband's rude intrusion into her study.

"What is so in such a hurry? This is not the etiquette of a prince. She said in a slightly reproachful tone.

Count Dragontide's gaze swept over his wife, his eyes full of tenderness. Since getting married, the "Iron Princess" on the battlefield no longer wears military uniforms, but changes to the gorgeous clothes often worn by aristocratic women, which is a little less iron-blooded, but more tender.

Originally, she was like a wild rose with thorns, making people only dare to look at it from a distance, not dare to get close, and from time to time she would stab people's hands full of blood. But since she had been married to the Earl of Dragontide, she had put away her "claws", like ornamental flowers in the garden, and had stripped away all her spikes.

"You must have gone to see your father today, is there something wrong?" asked Princess Sophia.

Speaking of this, Count Long Taide's face suddenly turned pale, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "The news that came this morning is that Glorious City has fallen. ”

Princess Sophia raised an eyebrow. A look of surprise was revealed. "Shining City is a fortress city, and it is garrisoned by the Northern Army, and the commander, General Villeneuve, is also an experienced and cautious battleground celebrity. With so many favorable conditions, how could Glorious City fall so quickly?"

At the same time, she could also understand where her husband's iron-blue face came from at this time. Since the Falcon family in the north rebelled, the heir of the Falcon family has become embarrassed in Shenghui City, and the original hot "fragrant bun" has become a "plague god" that everyone avoids overnight. And now that Glorious City has also fallen, and the blade of the Northern Army is directed at Shenghui City, the white eyes and criticism that Count Long Taide has received can also be imagined.

"Could it be that my father has embarrassed you?" asked Princess Sophia.

Count Rontide shook his head, "Your Majesty doesn't have any harsh rebuke, but that's why I'm so restless. As he spoke, he slammed the wooden table in his hand and made a loud noise: "North, something must have happened." Those hateful rebels and thieves...... Otherwise, my father would never have left me and openly rebelled!", he said through gritted teeth.

"However, not only will your statement not be accepted, but will be interpreted as a defense of the Duke of Falcon. Princess Sophia was still very calm, "The most critical question now is: how did the Northern Border Army capture Glorious City in such a short period of time? If this method can be replicated, I'm afraid that even Shenghui City will not be able to defend it." ”

"The exact situation is not clear, but according to the reports of the surviving spies on the front line, the entire Holy Radiance City is now like hell. ”

"The wounded and wounded have gone crazy for some reason, frantically attacking the friendly forces around them, they have no reason, they are not afraid of pain, and they will even gnaw the flesh and blood of the living......"

"The entire Northern Army was plunged into civil strife, and the soldiers completely collapsed, and they wondered if their comrades around them would suddenly go crazy and attack themselves. As a result, the whole army was plunged into a large-scale cannibalism, and even General Villeneuve could not stop the tragedy. ”

In the end, the city of Glory was defeated, and the completely collapsed Northern Legion revolted in the city, and many soldiers killed people and set fires, looted and raped all kinds of evil. The entire city turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and it was finally after the northern army entered the city that the situation was slowly controlled. ”

This is their original description. ", added Count Rontide.

Princess Sophia frowned, "Sounds like the gibberish of a madman, is it true that they are crazy too?"

"Otherwise, why would Shining City fall so quickly!". Count Dragontide shouted, and slammed the table at hand as he spoke.

"It must have been some shady method used by those traitors, probably large-scale poisoning. ”

"If it were my father, I would never allow the army to use such a crooked method!", he trembled with anger, and even his voice trembled.

"I can no longer sit idly by, and I have just asked Your Majesty to let me go to the Northern Army and persuade them to withdraw from their army. ", said Count Longtide, who had calmed down after a moment's breath.

"You're crazy! Don't you know that those rebellious high-ranking people in the north have already gone to the end! Since they have chosen the path of rebellion, they will never stop, even if you are the heir of the Falcon family! Not to mention, according to your speculation, the Duke is likely to have an accident, and those traitors are even more unlikely to recognize you!"

"Do you still naively think that they will recognize you as the heir, and because of your few words, they will leave behind the good situation of the army coming to Shenghui City and obediently withdraw their troops?

Princess Sophia asked several questions in one breath, and every sentence went straight to the point.

Count Dragontide sighed, "How could I not have thought about what you said? Don't worry, I'm not going to be stupid enough to enter the Northern Army's barracks and talk to those traitors. On the contrary, I will preach to the ordinary soldiers in front of the northern army, exposing the wolf ambitions and despicable deeds of these shameless traitors. And without the support of the army, these traitors are like tigers with claws, and there will be no threat. ”

"Able to ...... Aren't you leaving?", after a moment of silence, Princess Sophia suddenly said to Count Rontide.

Count Dragontide was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face, and it was clear that he took the princess's words as a retention for himself. "Thank you for your concern, Sophia. ”

"Such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it doesn't look like your character. I am doing this not only to repay Your Majesty's great kindness, but also to you. He said softly.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess of the Kingdom of St. Teresa, this is the only title worthy of you, and I don't want your brilliance to be dusty in the slightest. ”

Princess Sophia lowered her head slightly, making it difficult to see her face at this time. "Is she holding back her tears?", Count Rontide couldn't help but think, but he immediately reversed his thoughts: "No, it's impossible, the famous Princess Sophia won't shed tears because of such a thing." ”

Sure enough, Princess Sophia raised her head and showed Count Longtide an unprecedented bright smile, "As a farewell, let's have a drink with me one last time." ”
