Chapter 372: The Kingdom of the Mountains (25)

Fei Lin didn't have to compete with those who challenged him, because before that, the heroine's mouth suddenly became blistered and festered as if she had been punished by the legend of breaking her oath and lying.

She could barely eat or drink, so it was not long before she became so thin that those close to her abandoned her for fear of being implicated, and she was deeply distressed.

Her pain prevented her from fighting in the winter, and no one wanted to fight for her.

Filmin waited on the cliff, but the challenger never appeared.

Jiemin waited with Filin, and a group of lower-ranking nobles sent by Duke Planck also accompanied him.

When night came, one of the heralds from the fort came to inform the people that the heroine had left the Ripple Castle, that she could not face her challenger, and that she had fled inland on horseback.

Jiemin clapped her hands, and then hugged Filmin unexpectedly, and then the group of people returned to Ripple Fort for a big meal in cold but happy manners

It was Film's last meal before returning to Fort Stag. Planck asked Filmin to sit on his left hand side, and Jeremine sat next to Film.

"You know," he said to me at the end of the meal, "you're becoming more like your father every year. ”

All the brandies in Velotru couldn't stop the chilling feeling that his words brought to Film.

The two sons of Queen Steadfast and King Creek are Yinhui and Hermes.

They were only two years old and grew up like two close brothers. Yinhui is the elder brother and the first to become the crown prince on his sixteenth birthday.

Almost immediately, he carried out the task assigned by his father to deal with the border dispute with the kingdom of Chas.

Since then, he has rarely spent more than a few months at Fort Buck, and even after marriage, he has not often taken time to rest.

This is not the case with Crick's reign, when he deliberately drew a formal line of demarcation with all his neighbors, which led to many border riots, most of which were quelled by force. However, as time goes by, Silverglow will become more astute in using diplomatic skills to resolve disputes.

Verse 35: Summoned by arcane spells

Some say that the assignment of Yinhui was a conspiracy by his stepmother to miss the queen, because she wanted him to die in the line of duty.

There are also others who say that because Crick wants to keep his eldest son away from the sight and authority of his new queen.

Prince Hermes was forced to stay at home because he was too young, but he asked Crick every month for his father to allow him to follow his brother on his mission.

And Crick's efforts to arouse Hermes's interest were in vain. Prince Hermes did do his duty, but he never forgot to make everyone think that he would rather be with his brother.

Finally, on the twentieth birthday of Prince Hermes's six-year-old monthly request, Crick reluctantly agreed to allow him to follow his brother.

From then until the four years of Silverlight's abdication and Hermes' succession as crown prince, the two brothers worked together to draw borders, make treaties, and negotiate trade deals with the neighbors of the five principalities.

Prince Silverglow is good at getting along with people, whether it is an individual or a group, it is not a problem for him.

Hermes's expertise was in the details of treaties, the precise and detailed maps of borders, and the support of his brother in power like a soldier and a prince.

His Majesty's Prince, Crick's youngest son and the only son of the Lustful Queen, spent his young years at home and at court, while his mother did everything she could to raise him as a candidate for the throne.

Feeling relieved, Filin returned to Fort Buck. This was not the first time that Filin had performed such a mission for the King, but Filin had never been interested in Filin's Assassin errands. Filmin rejoices in the way the heroine humiliates and seduces Film, because it allows Film's mission to be completed smoothly.

However, she was always a beautiful woman and a brilliant warrior, so I was not at all proud of the task, but obeyed the king's orders.

That's what he thought when Soot took Filmin home on the last slope.

Filin looked up at the hills, barely believing what was happening before him.

Floya and Her Majesty rode side by side, like an illustration drawn on Philensmann's finest parchment manuscript.

His Majesty was dressed in bright red and gold, with black boots and gloves, and his riding cloak hung from one shoulder, revealing a bright contrast of colors in the morning breeze as the two men marched side by side.

The wind made his cheeks glow with the rosy scent of the outdoors and ruffled his stiff, curly hairstyle.

His deep eyes shone brightly, and he looked like a man when he straddled the back of a steady horse so valiantly.

Filmin thought. He can choose to be such a person instead of a tired prince who indulges in alcohol and beauty. It's another waste.

Ah, but the lady next to him was a different story. Compared to her entourage, she bloomed like a rare exotic flower. She rode in baggy trousers, and the dye vat of Fort Buck couldn't dye the saffron purple like that.

Brightly coloured, intricately embroidered adorns her trousers, which are tucked securely into the tops of her boots.

Her boots were almost knee-high, and if Borges had seen them, he would have praised them for their practicality.

Instead of wearing a cloak, she wore a short jacket covered with plump white fur and a high collar that protected her neck from the cold.

The fur must have been a white fox, he thought, from the tundra far away from the mountains. She wore black gloves, and the wind blew her long golden hair like a playful blow, fluttering and tangled in her shoulders.

She wore a knitted beanie, adorned with all the bright colors that film could think of. She kept her mount straight and straight in the manner of a mountain man

Moving forward with her head held high, her horse, named Tread, felt that she should leap, not just walk.

The tiny silver bells on the brimgot marre's reins jingle like icicles in the lively morning.

Compared to other women in lengthy dresses and cloaks, she looks as neat and agile as a cat.

Reminiscent of an exotic warrior from the north, or an adventurer from an ancient legend, she was distinctly different from her maids.

She was not like a noble-born and richly dressed woman, ostentatious to the lower royal nobles, but like an eagle in a cage with the birds, and Filin was not sure if she should appear in front of her subjects in this way.

His Majesty sat beside Floya and chatted with her with laughter, and their conversation was lively and accompanied by laughter. Flynn told Soot to slow down his pace to them, and Floya reined in the reins of the horse and smiled to greet Flyn.

But His Majesty only nodded coldly, and touched his horse with his knee to make it trot, and Floya's mare did not want to lag behind, so she raised her hooves to catch up with it.

The princess and the prince's attendants greeted Filin briskly, and he stopped to watch them pass, and then continued on his way to Fort Buck with a sense of unease.

Floya's face was full of life, her pale cheeks flushed from the cold air, and she smiled at His Majesty with the same genuine pleasure as the occasional smile at Firin.

He couldn't believe that she was so naΓ―ve and trusted him so easily.

As he thought, he unsaddled the saddle from the soot and smacked it, leaning over to examine its hooves, noticing Borges looking at him over the fence of the stable. Filmin asked him, "How long has it been?"

He knew what Filin was asking.

"He started doing this a few days after you left. One day he brought her over and said to me in a stern manner.

It was too bad to keep the queen in Stag Castle all day, as she had become accustomed to the open and energetic lifestyle of the mountain people, and said that he had been persuaded to teach her the art of horseback riding in the low areas.

Then he told Filin to put the saddle that Hermes had given her on the back of the trest, and the two rode away. So what can he say, and what can he do?" he asked Filmin fiercely as he turned to look at him suspiciously.

"As you say, people are our princes who have sworn allegiance, and Your Majesty is the prince of the Zhiyuan family, and even if Fei Lin refuses him disloyally, the princess still expects Fei Lin to take her horse and put it in the saddle. ”

With a slight wave of his hand, Filin reminded Borges that his words sounded like betrayal. He walked into the stable and stood beside Firin, scratching his ears thoughtfully after Filin had settled the soot.

"You really don't have a choice. Filmin reluctantly admitted. However, he had to know his true intentions and why she put up with him so freely. ”

"His intentions, perhaps, were just wagging his head and tail to please her.

The fact that she was growing emaciated in the castle was no secret. Oh, she speaks straight to everyone, but she's so honest that people believe she's happy when she's sad. ”

"Perhaps!" Filin reluctantly admitted, then looked up like a puppy hearing his master whistle. "I have to go. Crown Prince Hermes ...... "Film's words are vague and can't let Borges know that Filmin is summoned by a mysterious spell.

Filin slung his saddlebag over his shoulder, and set off for the castle with a bag of scrolls that he had painstakingly transcribed.

Instead of stopping to change his clothes or warm himself by the kitchen fire, he walked straight to Hermes' map room.

The door was ajar, and he knocked on it and entered. Hermes leaned over to look at the map fixed to his desk, barely looking up to greet Filin.

Hot sweet wine was already waiting for Film, and a large plate of cold meat and bread was still on the table by the fireplace, and he straightened up a little later.

"You're really good at getting in the way. Hermes said as if greeting. "For the past three days, Filmin has been urging you to come back quickly.

And, when did you finally find yourself being summoned by a mystical spell?

Flynn tells you, Kaz, that people need to take the time to let Flynn teach you some ways to master arcane spells. ”
