Filmin refused to let this affect Film, and then looked at the King with pleading eyes. "Say it, Kaz Silverlight. He said solemnly.

Filmin took a breath. "Your Majesty, can I ask you to allow Filin to marry?"

The servant's eyes widened in astonishment, but the king smiled and replied to Filin, like a child begging for candy, "So, at last the time comes." But can you think about dating her first?"

The heart in Film's chest was thundering. The king looked at Fihrin with a perceptive eye, but he was very, very happy, and he dared to hope for his request. "This is indeed pleasing to His Majesty, but Filin has probably been in a relationship with her for some time.

Although I know that I shouldn't be so presumptuous, it's just ...... And so it went. ”

He smiled kindly. "Yes. Some things do. And if you don't say it, he'll probably really suspect your intentions, and wonder if the lady is lying to herself. ”

Film's mouth was dry and he couldn't breathe. How much did he know? He smiled at Film's fear.

"Filmin is not against it. In fact, he's happy with your choice......"

The smile on Filin's face was a wonderful match for the servant's expression. Filmin took a trembling breath until Crick continued: "But her father is more conservative. He told Filin that it would have to be delayed, at least until someone proposed to her sibling. ”

"What did you say?" Filmin was almost speechless, the confusion in his head kept flipping. Crick smiled kindly at Filin.

"The lady you like seems to be exactly what she says. Hermione asked her father for permission to associate with you the day you left for Fort Buck.

Filmin thinks you've won her heart when you speak out to her, but Planck rejects her for the reason she just told you.

Filin knew that the young lady had a big fight with her father, but Planck was a man of his own opinion.

He wanted people to know that he wasn't against the marriage, but he didn't want her to marry before her siblings, and I agreed with him. Filin believes that she is only fourteen years old, right?"

Filmin was speechless.

"Don't be so frustrated, boy. Both of you are still young, and you have a long way to go.

Filin guessed that although he chose to hold off on letting you have a formal relationship, he shouldn't have stopped you from meeting. King Crick looked at Filyn very accommodatingly, his eyes showing infinite kindness.

The servant's gaze moved back and forth between the people, and it was impossible to discern the meaning of his expression.

Film hadn't shivered for the past few months, and he couldn't let the shiver last, let alone worsen.

Fei Lin barely managed to squeeze a few words out of his dry throat: "Your Majesty, she is not the lady that Fei Lin said she was." ”

Silence ensued. Filin looked into the king's eyes and saw that his face had changed.

If Filin hadn't been so impatient, he might have looked away from him, but Filin looked at him with pleading eyes, hoping that he would understand.

When he stopped talking, he bravely tried to continue.

"Your Majesty, the lady of whom he speaks is at present a lady's maid, but she is not a servant herself. She's ......"

"Quiet!"

His words were more intense than the feeling he felt when he hit Film. Filmin couldn't move.

Crick looked up and down Filin carefully, speaking with all his majesty, even causing Filin to feel the pressure of arcane spells in his tone. "You heard me clearly, Kaz Silverlight.

Planck is a friend of Filin and the Duke of Filin, and you really shouldn't offend and despise him and his daughter.

You can't associate with anybody right now, not anybody. Filming advises you to think about Planck's willingness to marry Hermione to you, and don't forget that he doesn't care about where you come from, and that no one else would think so.

Filyn will give Hermione land and a title of her own, and so will you, if you're smart enough to wait for the opportunity and please the lady, you'll find it a wise choice.

When the time comes, he will let you know that you can officially date her. ”

Filmin mustered up the last remaining courage. "Your Majesty, I beg you, he ......"

"That's enough, Silverglow! That's all there is to it!"

After a while he asked Filin to leave, and he left his room trembling. Filin didn't know that he was trembling from anger or his heart was racing, only that he had just called Filin by his father's name.

Perhaps, he told himself with a grudge that it was because he knew in his heart that Filin would marry for love like Filin's father.

Even, he maliciously thought that he might have to wait until Crick was buried before Hermes could fulfill his promise to Firin. Filin returned to his room, feeling that crying might be a relief, but he wanted to cry without tears.

Lying on the bed staring at the charm beside the bed, Filin couldn't imagine how Filin could tell King Ariana and Filyn about the conversation, but he also told himself that not to tell him would be tantamount to deception, so he decided to try to tell her as much as he could, but not now.

The time would come, he promised himself that then Filin would be able to explain it to her, and she would understand.

Film can wait, and film will not be there until the time comes

Thinking about it, I also coldly decided that unless the king summoned him, he would never visit him again.

As spring approached, Hermes carefully dispatched his ships and men as if on a chessboard. The beacon tower on the shore is always guarded, and there is a signaling flame burning inside, which can be lit at any time to warn the crowd that the red boat has appeared.

He assigned the remaining members of Galen's arcane spelling team to the beacon and the battleship, while leaving Filin's nemesis and the core of Galen's group to stay at Fort Bucks, he secretly wondered why Hermes had let her stay here as the center of the group, instead of letting each member speak directly to him.

Since Galen's death and Prestige's forced retirement from the group, Caton has taken over Galen's duties, and she seems to think of herself as a master of arcane magic.

In some ways, she is a copy of Galen, who not only spreads a harsh silence in Fort Buck, but also always frowns, and inherits Galen's irascible temper and evil sense of humor.

The servants were as terrified and disgusted at the mention of her now as they had been with Galen, and Fihrin knew that she had also taken over Galen's former residence.

Fihrin would go out of his way to avoid her when he returned, and he would have been greatly relieved if Hermes had sent her somewhere else, but Fihrin knew he was in no position to question the Crown Prince's decision.

Rosen, a tall, lanky young man who was two years older than Film, was now tasked with serving as a member of the Rox's arcane spelling team.

He had hated Filmin since people were learning arcane spells, and because of the spectacle of Film's failure to pass the test, he berated Filmin at every opportunity.

Filin gritted his teeth and avoided him as much as he could, but it was almost impossible to be on a closed battleship, which was a difficult situation.

After arguing fiercely with himself and with Filin, Hermes assigned the Sorrowful to board the battleship Steadfast, Boli to guard the beacon tower in the Bay of Justice, and to send his desire to the far north to garrison the Red Tower of Velotru, from which he could see the endless ocean and the surrounding countryside.

Once the map is marked, people's weak defenses are revealed.

This reminded him of the old folk tale of the beggar who covered himself with only a hat. Filin told Hermes this, and he was in no mood to squeeze out a smile.

"Hopefully, Filin will move his hat and let Filin's battleship sail quickly. He made a solemn wish.

Two ships in Hermes' fleet served as cruisers, while the other two were on standby, one of them anchored at the docks of Fort Stag, the battleship Rox, and the other battleship Harg was anchored in Little South Bay.

It's a pitifully small ship, but it has to defend the scattered coastlines of the five principalities. The second batch of warships is under construction, but I am afraid it will not be completed in the short term.

The best dry timber had already been used to build the first four ships, and the shipbuilders of Hermes had warned him that it was better to wait and not rush to use the freshly chopped timber. He was a little annoyed, but he listened to their advice.

People practice diligently in early spring. Hermes privately told Filin that the group members were passing on brief messages almost as quickly as carrier pigeons, but the situation among the people was not so rosy.

For personal reasons, he chose not to disclose his training in Film's arcane spells, and Filmin believed that he would enjoy secretly observing and listening to the daily life of Stag City with Film, and that he had given instructions to the captain of the Rox.

Notice if Filmin asks for an immediate change of course, or announces that people must leave for a specific location immediately. Filin was afraid that the captain would take this as a sign that Hermes was doting on his illegitimate nephew, but he did what he was told.

Then, on a spring-like morning, people reported to the battleship to prepare for another exercise.

People are now finally able to sail ships as skillfully as real crews, and this exercise has given people the opportunity to get acquainted with the battleship Kentain in an unknown location, but this is a mystical spell drill that is not yet achievable.

The naivety was a great deal of panic, but Lawson insisted on succeeding, and he was seen with his hands crossed over his chest, dressed in a dark blue suit (which he believed he thought made him look more esoteric), standing on the deck staring at the fog that covered the sea, and I had to pass him as I carried a bucket of water to the ship.

"Hey, you little bastard, this may be an opaque layer of fog to you, but it's as clear as a mirror to me. ”
