Chapter 12: Yas
The Castle Lord's Mansion Chamber
Yas, who had grown most of the gray hair on his head, looked at the announcement from the capital city of London, which only wrote that the king of England had died, and his hand-picked heir, the second prince Alcius, had unfortunately died due to the escape of a prisoner, so Alpens succeeded to the throne instead, and let the city lords of each city go to the capital city of London as soon as possible to participate in the succession ceremony of the new king.
Seeing this, Yas couldn't help but sigh, no matter how you look at this so-called unfortunate death, it is all about it, but the chaos of this prisoner does happen, which makes people suspicious and have to accept it. Unless Alcius, who is directly related to it, "comes back from the dead" to testify, this matter will only slowly fade over time, and Alpens's throne will become more secure and natural.
What the hell is going on with you, Theseus......
"Lord of the city, there are people outside asking to see you. The guard outside the door announced.
“...... Tell him that I have something to do for the time being and don't have time to see him. The heartbroken Yas was in no mood to see anyone at this time, still basking in the grief that Alcius might have lost his life.
“...... But, according to her own account, her former name was Alseus...... "as if she couldn't figure it out," said the guard, after sorting out his mind a little.
"I have said it, I don't see anyone now, what used to be called Altheus...... "What Alsus, Altheus is not already ......!!!
"What did you say?" Yas immediately came out of his grief and hurriedly asked.
"That's it...... It was Alcius who asked to see him outside the palace, Lord of the City. The guards had no choice but to summarize it in their own words.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite him in!! "Theseus is not dead?"
"Okay, I'm going to go and invite them in. The guard ran out at once.
Did they bring someone with them?
...............................................................................................................
“...... You...... Are you Alcius?" Yas froze at the handsome blonde girl in front of him, and in his impression, there was no doubt that Alcius was a man. And the girl in front of her, because she was wearing a suit, exuded a heroic temperament, compared with the weak Alcius, they were basically two characters.
Therefore, Yas's first thought was that she was lying, so he warned solemnly: "This young lady, although I don't know why you are pretending to be the second prince Alcius. However, you should know that impersonating a member of the royal family is punishable by death. ”
I didn't believe it at first. Artoria looked at Wang Xiaoming next to her, and after seeing Wang Xiaoming nodding slightly, she explained to Yas according to the general explanation he gave himself before:
[Yas will recognize Artoria]
"Uncle Yas, I know it's a bit difficult to convince you that I'm Arseus all at once, but I can provide evidence that I'm Arsius. ”
As soon as he heard the girl's "Uncle Yas", Yas seemed to see the figure of the child who had shouted to hug him, and then heard that there was evidence, and asked aloud: "Do you have evidence to prove?"
"Yes, I can tell you some "secrets" that only Uncle Yas and I knew about when I was a child, and I remember ......" Artoria kept telling about the experiences that absolutely no one knew about as a child, and of course there were some annoyances.
"Poof!" Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard some troubles about Artoria's childhood.
"What are you laughing at?" "It's nothing!" Wang Xiaoming immediately stopped laughing, lest he be beaten, and everyone's fists were raised.
In fact, when he heard the title of "Uncle Yas", Yas had already begun to believe that she was Arseus in his heart, I don't know why, maybe because he had taken care of her before, but when he heard that she was able to tell so many "secrets" that were absolutely impossible to leak, Yas had already believed it, believing that this girl was Alceus.
"Needless to say, where else are I going to put my old face? I'm completely convinced that you're the one who is the Theseus. It's great that you're not dead!, it's just why you're ......" Although he didn't say it directly, seeing Yas constantly scanning Artoria's whole body up and down, the question was already self-evident.
"That's right, Uncle Yas must have heard that the reason for my "death" was due to the prisoner's escape from prison, right, that night it was actually an assassination operation planned by Brother Wang, and the results were all pushed to the prisoners, and my "death" was described as an accident. In fact, all this is an assassination plan, in order to be able to eradicate me, the rightful heir, and thus ascend to the throne. ”
Artoria did not directly say the reason why she would become a woman, but started from the beginning, which was also what Wang Xiaoming told her before, by "restoring" the whole incident as much as possible, Yas felt more deeply about this matter, and tried to pull him into his camp as much as possible. And it's not just pulling it over, in Wang Xiaoming's own words: "Strengthen Yas's hatred for the eldest prince and his gang, and also deepen his sympathy for us, preferably to the extent that he can do whatever it takes for our side." ”
Listening to Wang Xiaoming's words, it seems that he is a little suspicious of dragging people into the water, but Yas is already close to Artoria, and it is nothing to actively woo him.
"And then, I was lucky enough to escape from the city of London and came to the Warcraft Forest, but I was also seriously injured, at that time I thought I was no longer good, fell into a deep sleep, and then woke up to find that I had become a woman, the only thing that can be explained may be from God's gift, after all, only God can do it by turning a male into a woman. Artoria didn't say Wang Xiaoming, which was also instructed by Wang Xiaoming, because he felt that his "motherhood" technique was better not to let too many people know, otherwise how could he pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?
Speaking of God, Artoria also asked Wang Xiaoming, but under Wang Xiaoming's rhetorical question of "Do you think I am like a god?" and "So you also think I'm so powerful?" This guy can't be a god, if he is a god, then he really slanders the word God.
"Hahaha...... It seems that you are also favored by God, although you are no longer a man. However, I have to say that you are more heroic now than before, and I originally thought that your father's choice was wrong, and Alpens was indeed more suitable to be king than you. But now, I think you're just as fit to be king, Hughes. Yas looked at Artoria's heroic face and thought that the assassination didn't seem to be a pure bad thing.
Although he faintly felt a little uncomfortable, Artoria still said happily when he heard Yas's "praise": "Uncle Yas, now I am no longer called Arcius, I am now living as Artoria." ”
"Artoria? Artoria...... Yes, yes, you haven't forgotten who you are, and you're moving forward, Tolia, you've really grown up. ”
Wow, uncle, this is just the name of the body I helped Albian casually, you don't have to analyze it so connotatively, okay? And sure enough, it feels like it's very twisty to be called "Toria...... Wang Xiaoming looked at Yas's powerful over-analysis ability and admired it for a while.
"So, are you willing to support us and be on our side?" Artoria asked.
"Looks like you're planning to rally forces and attack the city of London?" Yas asked, understanding the meaning of Artoria's words.
Artoria nodded, then shook her head again, and said: "I really want to gather forces, but I don't want to regain the throne in the form of raising troops to attack London City, after all, I still know a little bit about the situation around the kingdom, at this moment, it is best not to cause a long-term civil war, it is best to fight quickly, and directly fight in London City." ”
Yas looked at the childish girl in front of him with appreciation, although she was young, she already had a certain strategic vision, and she definitely had the potential to serve as the king of the Kingdom of England and lead the country to a glorious future.
"So, do you want me to openly support you, and then win over the other city lords, so that Alpens can compromise and only fight a decisive battle in the city of London?"
"Yes, but before I do that, I want to go to the Monster Forest to find help, which will be more beneficial to our operation. Now is not the time to make it public, at least after winning the support of the Holy Beast or the Elven Clan, we will start to make the news public. ”
"Are you sure?, but the Holy Beasts and Elves are ......" Yas asked directly as he looked into Artoria's eyes.
"I have!" Artoria looked at Yas as well, her eyes determined.
[Aren't you quick to be intimidated by Al's domineering aura?]
In an instant, Yas felt a strong aura from the body of the still young girl in front of him, which made him secretly worship and unconsciously take a few steps back.
Yas looked at Artoria in surprise, surprised by her powerful aura. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, I have decided to support you, stand on your side, I will try my best to help you get it when it comes to winning over other lords, do you need any other subsidies to go to the Warcraft Forest?"
"Don't bother Uncle Yas, I can do it myself, so as not to attract the attention of the other forces, and don't tell the news that I'm still alive to Phoenix and Firi, lest the news leak out. Artoria said indifferently.
“...... Well, then you are...... Do you want to go to the Warcraft Forest with this?" Yas looked at Wang Xiaoming next to Artoria, and from Wang Xiaoming, Yas only felt a very small aura of power. Artoria was different, as soon as Yas saw Artoria, he felt an extremely powerful aura of power from her, at least several times stronger than him, so he was full of confidence in the action to regain the throne.
"He was the one I met on the road, and I 'hit it off at first sight', and he helped me a lot, and he was a trusted companion, and he was the one who came up with the plan for the recapture of the throne. According to Wang Xiaoming's words before, Artoria said it truthfully. In other words, Artoria's body is really strong, her memory is superhuman, and Wang Xiaoming wrote down all the words she prepared.
"Oh, yes? Yas took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Wang Xiaoming.
Wang Xiaoming also replied respectfully: "Where is it, I just put forward ideas, and the specific operation is still considered by Miss, and I am very excited to be able to help Miss." ”
It seems that this man can be trusted, too. Yas carefully observed Wang Xiaoming's expression, and there was only infinite respect for Artoria in his expression, and there was no other heterogeneous color.
[He can't see my true intentions]
Sample, want to see through me, although I don't have any bad thoughts about Al, but the thoughts in my heart are not something you can just see, uncle. Wang Xiaoming thought "ill-intentioned" in his heart.
"Go, then, for I am here waiting for your good news. Yas also considered not to attract attention, so he urged Artoria and Wang Xiaoming to set off as soon as possible.
"Then, Uncle Yas, let's go first," he said, preparing to leave.
"Ah, by the way, Tolia, since you're here, let's go meet Adam, he's been practicing in the playground behind the house since he got the news of your "death", so it's good for you to meet him. Yas seemed to remember something before Artoria left, and said immediately.
"Adam...... Well, I'll go see him. Artoria's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
Could it be that Adam is a childhood sweetheart? Wang Xiaoming speculated on the side.
