Catherine and Eldred arrived at the guild office, where the Mentor and the Giant Scythe were whispering something to a man in a cloak, and when they entered, the three exchanged glances and quickly stopped talking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Catherine was very strange, could it be that the mentor was discussing something important and needed to be avoided? She said goodbye: "Since the mentor has something important to discuss, then let's take our leave first!"

The mentor said, "Your Royal Highness, you wait, maybe you will be interested in what we are discussing." ”

The man in the cloak stood up, bowed and said, "It turns out that you are Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, the recognized queen in the eyes of the people of the Lost Lands! My name is Gru, and I am the legal heir to the Grey family. ”

Catherine politely replied, muttering to herself. She had never heard of the name Gru, wasn't the heir of the Grey family Lady Grey, why was there another Gru?

"To tell you the truth, I'm Lady Grey's own brother. Fifteen years ago, while my father was still alive, I left the Lost Lands with the fleet, wandered for more than a decade, and only recently returned. ”

Catherine couldn't help but ask, "You've been traveling with the fleet for so long, do you know how to get back to Erathia by sea?"

"Yes, Your Highness Princess. I have been to Erathia, where I have met the King of Humanity, your uncle. ”

Catherine was taken aback and said, "When Adela came to the Lost Lands, I heard him say that my mother is still the queen of Erathia, why did the king suddenly become my uncle?"

"Perhaps it was my fault! When I visited them in the palace, and when they asked about the outcome of the war between humans and dwarves in the Lost Lands thirty years ago, I told them the truth, and told them that because your father was so wounded, that he knew that he would soon die, he sealed the portal to the Lost Lands with the blood of the king. Your uncle proposed that Parliament remove Her Majesty from office and take the throne himself, citing that your father had no legal heir. Adra's father, who was the commander of the navy at the time, initially supported Her Majesty, and in order to prevent his only son from being couped in a coup, he hurriedly sent someone to escort him to the Lost Land overnight. ”

Catherine only now understands why Adela came to the Lost Lands when she was only a few years old. At that time, he was just an ignorant child, how many things could he remember?

Catherine's tears couldn't help but roll down. She could imagine how isolated her mother was, at the mercy of her former courtiers. If he hadn't left her because of a momentary willfulness, he would at least be able to stand by her side and solve problems for her. She choked up and said, "Is my queen mother still alive now?"

"Yes, when I left Erathia, she was under house arrest in the Red Keep of Tekken Castle. Her Majesty has the support of the people in Erathia, and no one dares to harm her. ”

"Can you tell me how to return to Erathia by sea?"

"I drew a detailed nautical chart of the seas I traveled through. It would take two months to get from the Lost Lands to Erathia in the right season, with the wind and currents, and several dangerous whirlpools in between. ”

Catherine was already in her heart, and she said tremblingly, "Can I see your charts?"

"Yes, but the charts are not with me, and my fleet is currently anchored in another part of the Lost Lands. If you can help me regain my position as heir to the Lost Lands, I'll be happy to give you a copy of the chart. ”

Catherine was a little annoyed. If you want to help, you can help, if you don't want to, pull down, do you have to use the means of trading?

Your mother was bullied and deposed by a group of big men because she was a woman, and you thought about ousting Mrs. Gray from power and becoming the guardian of the Lost Land, just because you are the eldest son of the Grey family and the legal heir?

Can you be so unscrupulous in the pursuit of your personal rights?For some reason, Catherine suddenly felt a little sympathy for Lady Grey, though she was indeed annoying, and few people had said anything good about her for so long ruling the Lost Lands.

God knows how Gru will rule the Lost Lands when he comes to power!

Catherine wanted Gru's nautical charts very much, but she had secretly decided that she would never participate in Gru's struggle with Lady Grey.

"Gru, I will not get involved in your family's internal strife, I can only choose neutrality. This is your family's business, or the inner workings of the Lost Lands. We are outsiders after all, and sooner or later we will leave here. When we leave, we will keep our promise to leave the castle to the guardians of House Grey in the Lost Lands. What we hope is that whoever guards this land will be able to bring stability and prosperity to the people. ”

Catherine took her leave of the crowd and left the guild office with Eldred.

Eldred followed a few steps and said, "Your Highness Princess, but we haven't talked about our affairs with our mentor yet." ”

"No need to talk about it, they're negotiating. ”

"Do you think the Lost Lands is better for Lady Grey to rule, or is it better for this Gru?"

"I think Madame Grey is a very ambitious person and has a certain skill. She has been in power for so many years in the Lost Land, although few people say that she is good, but after all, she still barely maintains a peaceful situation. As soon as this Gru came to the Lost Lands, he struggled with how to regain his position and wanted to oust Lady Grey from power, and I don't think he was a good person, and sooner or later there would be bloody conflicts between them. Whether Gru or Lady Grey should govern, I think it's better for the natives to decide. ”

"But Gru has the charts we've been waiting for a long time to get us back to Erathia. ”

"Eldrid, I won't break my principles just because I have what I want, not to mention that the portal to the Lost Lands is about to open. ”

"Alright!" Eldred swallowed, still remembering the chart.

Lady Grey has been very busy these days, looking for people to make promises. Catherine stood still, secretly sending people to watch Lady Grey and the Heroes Guild's every move.

Many days later, Madame Grey suddenly sent an invitation to the castle to invite its heroes to her birthday party in Baulston.

Eldred couldn't help but say, "Birthday party? Didn't she have a birthday party at the beginning of the year? I remember accompanying Her Royal Highness the Princess, why did she celebrate her birthday again?"

Catherine couldn't help but laugh and said, "If necessary, she can have many birthday parties a year, and it's just an excuse for her social activities." ”

Cuthbert, however, was worried about Catherine's well-being. He said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't think you need to go, Madame Grey has been secretly operating for so long, and her wings are gradually plump, I am afraid that she will be unfavorable to you." ”

Catherine shook her head and said, "Although she has cultivated some forces, she does not dare to openly fall out with us at the moment, otherwise the town of Baulston will be razed to the ground by angry heroes." She will find a way to seek our support, even if it is to earn some face for her, she will try to fight for it. I had to go to her party and see how she explained to me about the congressional election. ”

"Then let's go with more people, in case something happens, we have enough people to protect you. ”

"No, I'll go with Eldred, Christine, and Madknife, and you guys will see what happens in the castle first. ”

Just then, Roland walked in with Inheim.

"Your Royal Highness, are you going to Lady Grey's birthday party? Roland said.

Catherine nodded, "Let's go and have a look!"

The party took place in Mrs. Grey's back garden. It is decorated with candlelight as if it were daylight, ribbons are hung everywhere, and boys and girls in the middle of the garden dance merrily to the rhythm of bagpipes and harps.

Lady Grey, dressed like a flower butterfly, floated around the crowd, with Thunder following closely behind her. Catherine did not exchange pleasantries with Lady Grey for long, and seeing that she was busy entertaining guests, she led everyone to the VIP table.

In addition to the people who came with heads and faces in the Hero Guild, there were some people Catherine didn't know. But looking at the gorgeous clothes and family crests of those people, they should all be famous families in the Lost Lands. Even the mayor of Hook Bay traveled thousands of miles to congratulate him.

The Mentor and Scythe spotted Catherine and nodded at her, and Catherine smiled and nodded.

"It seems that Madame Grey has contacted quite a few people, and if she is not mistaken, these people should be her allies, future members of Congress. Edridrid said.

Catherine nodded. In the crowd, she also spotted an unexpected person, the local giant hero Murak.

Murak was questioned by Lady Grey for failing to exterminate the witch and withdrawing his troops to let the witch go. If it weren't for the timely rescue of the mad knife, he would have died on the guillotine.

How could he have come? Could it be that he had been moved by Madame Grey to come and swear an oath of support for her? Mulak was not an inflammatory, it was not his personality.

Is it true, as they say, that there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests?

Lady Grey and Thunder didn't expect so many guests, and some nobles were even their enemies.

Lady Grey had noticed something unusual. She hinted at the Great Thunder, who understood it and went down to secretly order the guards to strengthen their vigilance.

Who the hell had sent these people?, Mrs. Grey pondered nervously. Catherine? No, she doesn't know a lot of local heroes. Could it be the Mentor and the Scythe?

Yes, it must be them!

Madame Grey came to Catherine's side and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, don't be surprised, I didn't expect so many people to come, I was busy entertaining them just now, but I didn't mean to snub you. ”

Catherine said politely, "You are the protagonist today, you must be busy, how can I be strange? It seems that almost all the members of your council are here." ”

Madame Grey's face flushed, and she said, "Your Highness Princess, I didn't greet you about the election of local councillors, mainly because you are very busy, and there are so many things to deal with in the castle; As long as you're in the Lost Lands for a day, you're the undisputed lord of the City of Princesses. ”

"Thank you for thinking of me. You've thought it through. ”

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has won the award! If there is anything inappropriate, I would like your understanding and hope that you will continue to support me. ”

"The Grey family is an ally of Erathia, and of course I will support it as always. You see, there are some more guests over there, so you might as well get busy, I haven't walked in your garden for a long time. ”

"Then feel free to do so!" said Lady Grey, who had received Catherine's promise, was much more at ease.

One of the people who had just arrived hurriedly greeted her and opened his arms to her: "My dear sister, after more than ten years, you are still so beautiful!"

Mrs. Grey was astonished! She never expected her brother Gru to return to Ballston!

"What's the matter, you're not welcome?" Gru smiled as he tilted his head.

"No, it's so surprising, it's so delightful!" said Lady Grey, throwing herself into Gru's arms, kissing each other on the cheek.

Gru looked at Lady Grey carefully, then took out a necklace encrusted with gems from her bosom, put it around her slender neck, and said, "This necklace was brought back from the distant Titan continent. The Titan Continent is rich in gemstones, and the difficult thing is that each gem in this necklace is crystal clear, the size is the same, and the most bizarre thing is that the color of each gemstone is exactly the same. This is the only gift in the world worthy of my beautiful sister. ”

"Yes, it's so beautiful!" Lady Grey stroked the necklace and couldn't help but kiss Gru again.

With a smile on his face, Thunder took Gru's hand and secretly used his strength.

Gru smiled, "This should be my brother-in-law, the famous giant thunder of the Hero Guild! are you going to hold my hand like this and not allow me to sit down and drink something?"

Ju Lei was secretly surprised in his heart. With this grip on his own, he was afraid that the iron would be pinched flat, but Gru was fine.

The heroes of the Lost Lands applauded. Gru is the eldest son of the Grey family, the legal heir, and it is expected that she will inherit the Grey family's business.

Is it just that Madame Grey willingly transferred the power in her hands to him?
