Chapter 432: Green Mountains and Green Waters (28)

Filmin methodically sorted through a dozen parchment maps, and then removed some of the other maps that were attached to the wall. As he carefully rolled up one of the maps, Floya quietly walked in.

Film's intellectual origins made Filmin feel her arrival before she reached out to open the door, so Filmin looked up at her without surprise. Filin stood steadily to withstand the turbulent emotional waves of Hermes, and her presence seemed to make Filin's heart stronger for him.

She was dressed in a soft blue woollen robe, and her appearance was very sweet, fair, and slender, and he immediately took a breath and turned his head away, and then saw her look at Filin with puzzled eyes.

"Hermes would have liked someone to help put them away while he's away, because the moisture can damage them, and there's rarely a fire in the room when he's away......," Filin explained, rolling up the map.

She nodded. "He's not here, the whole room looks cold, not only is the fireplace cold, not even his smell is there, and you can't see his mess......"

"So, you're going to tidy up the room?" Filin asked casually.

"No!" she laughed, "I'll only disrupt his little bit of order if I do it." No, he will leave the room as it was when he left until he returns. Filin wanted him to come back and see that his belongings were all in the same place. Her face turned solemn.

"But this room is so neat. Filin told a boy to look for you this morning, but he said you were out. I wonder if you've heard about Ferry Town?"

"Just some gossip. Filin replied.

"Well, what you heard should be similar to what Filmin heard, but no one summoned Film. She said coldly, and then she turned to look at Filin, her eyes full of pain. "Filin had learned most of the information from Lady Thousand Words, and she had heard His Majesty's guards speak to her maid.

The guard told His Majesty that the messenger had come, so they should also let the messenger come to see Filin?

"My queen. "In any case, the envoy should have met directly with King Creek, and he supposed, His Majesty had sent a man at the king's door to let him go directly to the king, but he had not been allowed to do so." ”

She looked up. "Well, one thing to remember is that it takes two people to play such a stupid game when one palm doesn't make a sound. ”

Filin wondered if the rest of the information had been lost. Filmin guessed aloud.

Her blue eyes turned cold gray. "What do you mean by that?"

"Pigeons and signal fires, and a message to Caton from the whispers of desire.

It stands to reason that at least one message would let people know that Ferry Town was attacked. Maybe one of the messages is missing, but none of the three messages have come, is that possible?"

Her face was pale and her heart was shocked. "The Duke of Velotru would have believed that the people had ignored their cries for help. She raised a hand to cover her mouth and whispered, "This is a conspiracy to slander Hermes!"

She suddenly widened her eyes, and then suddenly yelled at Firin, "I will not allow this to happen!"

She turned and rushed to the door, her every movement filled with anger. All that Filin could do was jump in front of her, blocking the door with his back and preventing her from opening it. "Queen, he begs you to wait! Wait a minute and think about it!"

"What could be better to denounce his perfidy?"

"People don't stand a chance of winning in their current situation, so please wait. Both you and Filin think that His Majesty knows more or less about these things and has concealed them, but people have no evidence, not at all.

And maybe people are wrong. People have to take it one step at a time, so as not to disagree at a critical juncture. One must first talk to King Creek about it, to see if he is aware of it, and whether he agrees to let His Majesty explain the matter himself. ”

"He won't!" she declared angrily.

"He often gaffes. "But only he, not you, can publicly accuse Your Majesty." If you blame him first, and the king supports him afterwards, the nobles will feel that the Zhiyuan family is divided.

However, there was already a lot of suspicion and discord between them, so since Hermes was not here, people should not allow the inland and coastal principalities to turn against each other. ”

She paused. Filin saw that she was still trembling with anger, but at least she listened to Filin's words. I saw her take a breath, and he felt that she was trying to calm himself.

"That's why he let you stay, Kaz. Help him see these things clearly. ”

"What do you mean by that?" was Fillin's turn to be shocked.

"Filmin thinks you know. You must wonder why Hermes didn't let you go with him, because when Filin asked him who he should be his advisor, he said that Filin should trust you. ”

Had he forgotten that there was Etro, Filin wondered.

Then it occurred to him that Floya had no idea that Etro existed, and he must have known that Filin would act as an intermediary. Filin felt Hermes' approval in his heart, and Etro remained hidden in the shadows.

"Think about it again with Film. Floya instructed Filin, "What happens next?"

She was right. This is not an isolated incident.

"There will be visitors, the Duke of Velotru and his lower nobles.

Duke Planck would not send an envoy on such a mission, but would come here himself to ask for an answer, and then all the coastal principalities would hear what kind of reply he received. His coast is the most vulnerable area outside of the Duchy of Stag. ”

Then people must have answers that are worth listening to. Floya declared. She closed her eyes and put her hands on her forehead, and after a moment pressed her cheeks again, and he understood how desperately she was trying to restrain herself.

Dignity, she told herself, to be calm and reasonable. She took another breath and looked at Film.

"I'm going to King Creek. She announced to Film, "Filmin has to ask him everything, figure out the whole situation, and what he plans to do." He's a king, and he must know that he's still on the throne. ”

"I think it was a wise choice. Filmin told her.

"I'll have to find him alone. If you are always by Film's side, it will make Filmin appear weak and powerless, causing rumors of a split in the royal family. Do you know?"

"Filmin understands. Although Filin really wanted to know what Crick would say to her.

She pointed to the map and other items that Filmin had stored on a table. "Can you find a safe place to put them away?"

Etro's room. "Yes. ”

"Good. She gestured, and he realized that he was still in the way, and stepped aside.

As she walked past her, the scent of the mountains flooded her for a moment, causing her legs to go limp, and she cursed fate for using the emeralds to rebuild the house instead of wrapping around her elegant neck. But Filin was proud to believe that even if Filin had kept them in her hands at this point, she would have insisted that the emeralds should be used for the relief of the ferry town, so Filin had to sneak them into her pocket.

Perhaps she could provoke the wrath of King Creek and then prompt His Majesty to pull the money out of his pocket. Perhaps, when he returned, the emeralds would still be able to wrap around his warm skin.

If Floya looked back at Filin, she would see a Kaz blushing from her husband's thoughts.

Filin walked to the stable. It's always been a soothing place for me, and Borges's travels make Filin feel obligated to come and see it from time to time, but that doesn't mean Afa needs Filin's help.

At this time, I saw a group of people gathered in front of the stable door and argued angrily. A young boy held on to the bridle of a pack horse, while an older boy tried to pull the horse away from the young boy by tugging on the reins, and a man dressed in Tirth stood by to watch.

This usually gentle horse has a pained look on his face as he pulls. It won't be long before someone gets hurt from it.

Filin boldly stepped forward and pulled the reins away from the frightened boy, while soothing the horse. It was a little rusty with Film, but it was still calmed down by Film's reassurance. "What's going on here?" Filin asked the boy.

They pulled the cliff out without asking. Filin took care of the horse every day, but they didn't even tell Filin what they were doing. ”

"Filin is on commandβ€”" The man standing by and watching began.

"Filmin was talking to someone else. Filin told the man, then turned to the boy and asked, "Did Ah Fa tell you anything about this horse?"

"It's just some routine. When he saw the dispute, the boy was about to cry. However, now that someone was helping him, he spoke more firmly, and he stood taller and looked into Film's eyes.

"Then it's simple. The people took the horse back to the stable and waited for Ah Fa's orders. Horses from the Fort Bucks stables cannot be taken out unless the acting manager of the stables is notified. The horse boy clung to the reins of the cliff, and I put the reins back in his hand.

"That's what I thought, my lord. He stammered to Film, his heels pressed together in a salute to Film. "Thank you, sir. Come on, little cliff. The boy led the slow-moving horse with great vigour.

"Filin was ordered to take the horse. The Duke of the Ram of Tilth wanted Filin to send him to the river at once. The man in Tirth's costume spoke to me with his nostrils.

"Did he say so? So he got permission from the people's stablemasters?" Filmin was sure he didn't.

The development of the story has become more and more out of the control of Film, which is really a headache.
