Chapter 45: Onevale
On the second floor of a hotel in Elktor, an innocent and romantic girl pushed open the wooden window, letting the winter sun shine on her long, pale blonde hair.
"The weather is really nice at this time, and even the scenery of the Beauchar countryside looks spectacular in the midday sun, and sure enough, you have to go out for a walk, otherwise you won't see such a unique scenery, are you right? ”
The girl took a deep breath of the cold and suitable air, turned to lean against the window, and smiled playfully at a mature woman in the room, and the beautiful smile on the girl's face added a touch of holiness and innocence against the bright sunlight.
The middle-aged woman in the cloak smiled bitterly, and replied in a slightly respectful but somewhat helpless tone: "This is just a border town, on the edge of the wilderness, what good scenery can there be, there are more beautiful places in the kingdom than here, you really shouldn't come here, especially at this time, if you make something wrong here, what kind of thunder and anger His Majesty will be, I really can't imagine the picture······ No, we've been out privately for so long, I'm afraid we've already been discovered, Your Majesty, he's probably already in a rage now, right?
With all due respect, you are a little too bold, Your Highness Princess. ”
In the end, it is a title that is enough to surprise people to the point of jaw-dropping - in this country, the only person who can be called Her Royal Highness the princess is the current king of the current kingdom of Chris, the youngest daughter of the "Angry Lion King" Kane Dragon Lion Maximilian VI - Princess Oneville, and no one would have thought that Her Royal Highness, who is loved by thousands of people, would appear in such a small country hotel.
In the face of the complaints and accusations of her own pro-guard lady, the noble girl smiled and squinted her eyes, and fearlessly sprinkled her coquettishness: "It's okay~ Aunt Brigitte, it's not the first time anyway, I believe it's the same this time, as long as I can return to him intact, my father will forgive people immediately! And with you by my side, how can I have an accident?"
I promise you that you will never be implicated afterwards, and that you just have to remain silent······ Hmmm~, just like before.
In fact, my father is very good, he only loses his temper occasionally, and he will not anger others for no reason, so you can rest assured. ”
Brigitte couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself: Occasional tantrums? What is the temper of His Majesty the King, and you are the only one in the kingdom I don't know, that is the angry lion king of the famous countries! That is the most powerful and tempered king in the human realm, and the only king who has stepped into the transcendent realm!
Who in the kingdom can bear his wrath? He's only good-tempered in front of you, my silly princess!
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I still don't think you should wade into this troubled water, or we'd better go back······"
"Oops~ Aunt Brigitte, didn't we say okay? Don't call me princess when you go out, be careful that the wall has ears, so as not to attract the attention of others!"
Brigitte: "······" You're enough, I'm a transcendent knight, I can't sense whether the wall has ears or not? I can sense the mage's snooping on spells thousands of miles away, and it's useless for you to talk to me about that—well, that's probably what she's feeling like right now.
The girl continued with a serious face: "Anyway, you only need to be responsible for protecting my safety, and only I can decide when to go back! Don't worry, didn't I promise that I wouldn't mess around? When the ownership of the Excalibur is confirmed, I will naturally go back······· Maybe... Maybe I'm also able to get God's approval to get the sword back for the kingdom?
The innocent words came out of the girl's mouth with inexplicable anticipation and a hint of uncertainty, so that this calm temperament of the chief knight of the guard couldn't help but cover her face: You have the idea of the supreme divine object of the Sogo Church, and you dare to say that you will not mess around? Return God's approval? Do you think your identity will also be useful in this kind of thing?
Brigitte once again persuaded with kind words: "The princess's palace... Miss Onevael, Jenugash is the sword left by the Lord of Light in the mortal world, the Sogo Church has always regarded it as the supreme holy relic of the Church, with their strict protection, we will not have a chance to see the Excalibur, even if you are the crown prince, it is useless, so give up. ”
It's good that she didn't persuade her, but she was refuted by the girl's righteous words: "But the Divine Sword Trial is for all the believers of the Lord! Why don't they let it?"
Our Lord is the common faith of all mankind, and it is not just the god of their church, they are not qualified to take advantage of this God-given trial opportunity for all beings, their behavior is selfish and despicable, as a knight, I can't watch the people of the church so blatantly blind the oracle and do nothing!"
"But ······"
"My lord let the Excalibur appear in advance in order to choose a true successor of the divine will who can bring benefits to this world and open up a new era, not to let it be placed on the church as a noble ornament! Even if I am not such a candidate, the Excalibur should belong to the real and long-awaited heroes! The pedantic church cannot stop this oracle and destiny that has long been predestined!"
Brigitte: "······" You've read too many fantasy novels, right?
As soon as the princess said this, she became more and more interested, and said with a glint in her eyes: "Aunt Brigitte, aren't there many heroes in this town who are ready to accept the trial, such as the wandering knight Magbu who killed the evil monsters in Cadila for many years, the leader of the Wind Splitting Mercenary Regiment who expelled the evil orc tribe in the Whispering Forest with his warriors and saved countless human villages, and the Great Swordsman of Hades who broke into the Dragon Canyon with one man and one sword to kill the dragon······ With so many powerful heroes here who are willing to fight fearlessly against the evil forces for the sake of the people, the Church's treacherous plan will not succeed!
When the time comes, when any hero is recognized by Excalibur, I will invite him to become the guardian of the kingdom, so that the kingdom will also have a supreme treasure to deter the kingdoms!
Uh~ Of course, it would be better if it were me. ”
The Lady of the Knight twitched when she heard this: Who are those guys she is talking about? Why haven't I heard of it at all? When did this stupid princess with little experience know what was going on?
She couldn't help frowning and asked, "Gong······ Miss, where did you hear all this?"
The lovely girl replied with a natural expression: "In the mercenary tavern, many mercenaries talk loudly about their heroic deeds, and many of them even almost fight for their admirers!
I see! Brigitte didn't know if the mercenaries almost fought, but she knew she was almost going to squirt out a mouthful of old blood - they took that bragging seriously!
I said, how come I don't know that there have been powerful demonic beasts with serious hazards in the Cadila area, so it is estimated that they are ordinary demonic beasts that only flow out, and it is not clear whether they have reached the level of first-order demonic beasts?
When did the orcs still live in the forest? or large tribes? I've only heard of goblins there······
Where is the Evil Dragon Canyon? The so-called evil dragon can't be a thin-blooded wurm, right? Don't tell me it's a lost battlement-headed dragon beast, which is the basic domesticated beast used in the Gangzhe Kingdom to transport goods······
If the princess knew the truth of all this, would her white and flawless worldview collapse?
Oh no!
The chief of the guard looked at the girl with a calm face, and said word by word: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I was wrong, I shouldn't have accompanied you out without permission····· No, I shouldn't have told you much about the Excalibur Trials. ”
The girl didn't understand her thoughts, so she grinned and comforted: "Don't worry, nothing will happen~"
At this moment, the corner of the girl's sun-shrouded eyes was suddenly swept by a black shadow, and she turned around suspiciously, but saw a young figure waving pale pink wings hovering in the air and falling towards the city.
"Eh, that kid has wings?"
The girl hurriedly poked her upper body out of the window in surprise, and searched around for the figure.
The Chief Knight Lady was speechless, completely convinced of the girl's ignorance of magic, although she had already experienced it many times - the princess was a well-known knightly genius, and her talent for magic was completely inversely proportional to her superior knightly talent, that is, the princess of the kingdom was an out-and-out magical idiot.
She casually explained, "Your Highness Princess, it should be a spell or magic creation. ”
"yes? I said how could anyone grow wings out of thin air, but······· Aunt Brigitte, didn't you ever say that only those who can fly are considered real mages, and real mages are very old, just like the Minister of Magic, but that one just seems to be a child?"
Brigitte was taken aback, and then realized that it was extraordinary, but after all, she was an extraordinary powerhouse, and she was not too surprised by this, but explained: "Age doesn't tell everything, there are geniuses on any road, even the magic that needs the most time to accumulate." ”
"Really?" the girl blinked, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Such a young mage genius! He must be as talented as a knight in magic!
I'm decided! I'm going to ask that little guy to be my magic advisor!Just like the Former King and the Archmage of the Kingdom of Angmar!"
Brigitte's feet tilted, and she almost couldn't hold back: What is the arrangement of fate? How did you get involved?! Didn't you just think about the Excalibur Trial? So what the hell did you sneak out for?!
···········
Latis, who had just landed and had not yet stood firmly, suddenly trembled, only to feel a bad cold coming, couldn't help but wake up his nose, tightened the clothes on his body, and thought in his heart: Flying at high speed without obstruction in winter, is it still too cold?
