Dressed in snow-white robes, the Protector of Hess stood in front of the warm fireplace, like a corpse draped in a shroud. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "He just said so much, I think that guy is probably scared stupid, after all, the pain of losing his siblings and daughter is unbearable for ordinary people. ”

"There are too few clues!" Kenny grumbled. He sat on the bench in front of the fireplace in the king's study, his face flushed, and the smell of wine lingered. The Protector of Hess told him and the White Dove that just now, a forest keeper had reported to the forest garrison that he had witnessed a black-robed and hooded wizard stabbing a sixty-year-old woman to death with a dagger and dumping her body in the wilderness, but then the murderer found him, and two forest guards and the survivor's daughter were killed.

"It's better than nothing, which at least shows that the murderer is a man, dressed in a black robe, and has a scar on his face. The white pigeon put down his quill and looked at the portrait of the murderer on the parchment that he had just imagined.

"Your Majesty, Master Kenny," the Hess Protector bowed slightly, "I've sent someone to look after the forester, and when he rests, I'll interrogate him myself, and maybe there will be new clues then." ”

"This has to be done as soon as possible. The white dove said expressionlessly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The old protector straightened up, "Duke Jaime and Marquis Quanti have been waiting outside for a long time, and they have something important to report to you. ”

"Let them in. The white dove said with tired eyes.

The heavy oak door was pushed open, and the tall figure of Duke Jaime came into view, followed by the Marquis of Quanti, a little thin, and Kenny stood up as he bowed down. "My lord," said Jaime, bowing his waist, "please stay here for a while, for the matter I want to report is concerning you." ”

"Oh, I thought you were going to discuss state affairs. Kenny smiled.

"Master Kenny, there is no news yet on the whereabouts of your companion and wife. Marquis Quanti stepped forward and said in a cold tone, "I suppose that since you have five thousand soldiers at your disposal, and their garrison happens to be set up near the village, the people there—"

"That's enough, Marquis Quanti!" the white dove slapped the table and stood up, his tired look swept away.

"Go on. Kenny forced himself to smile.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. "The people there have petitioned the capital more than once, asking Lord Kenny Dalton to evacuate his troops ten miles from the border, so ....."

"Well, Marquis, you're talking too much nonsense. Duke Jaime squeezed forward, "Your Majesty, please allow me to tell you the truth. The people of Dragonstone Village are wary of the foreign army, and Your Majesty, in order to find the companion and wife of the Lord of Dalton, you have sent nearly half of the Iron Forest Army, the news of our Assyrian internal political turmoil has spread to the whole continent, at this time of crisis, manpower is already scarce, but you use half of the army for a trivial matter, Lord Dalton already has an army in hand, why don't you let him use his own people to find it?"

"Duke, are you teaching me how to be an Assyrian queen?" said the white dove mockingly, his face grim.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty. "Marquis Quanti hurriedly started the round, "Lord James means, let Lord Dalton find it himself, anyway, his alliance army is idle, and the horses and water for the patrol are all provided by us, just like ....."

"I'm just teaching you how to be a qualified queen who is not spurned by the world!" Duke Jaime had pale gray eyes and a determined gaze, and the fire tree crest with a bright red cloak on his shoulders glittered in the light of the fire, and his tall and straight figure made him not angry and arrogant.

The white dove looked at him with those beautiful blue eyes, without a trace of emotion. "I finally know why White trusted you, but that won't change my decision. Her tone was half incredulous, the other half disgusted, "Remember, Duke, even if Eli is all in the nest, I can defend Assyria alone, do you believe it?"

"I only trust my eyes, and my ears. "Your Majesty, advice is often against the ear, and foolishness and courage are often only a thin line, if—"

"Enough!get out!!!" White Dove said in an angry tone, his eyes wide, pointing out the door, "Get out! now!!"

Jaime Dondelion saluted and stepped back, but the door did not rumble. If it were me, I might have broken the door. Kunti thought to herself. "Your Majesty, Duke he is just ....."

"I'm not angry, he did what he was supposed to do. The white dove sat down in his chair, and his tone became slightly gentle.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Duke is right. The old protector twisted his waterfall-like white beard, looked at Kenny, and said thoughtfully, "There are not many people in the Iron Forest Army, and there is a group of old stubborns living in Longshi Village, since Lord Dalton has an army, and he is in a hurry to find the minister and his wife, let him find it himself, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." ”

"The Dharma Protector is not wrong at all. Kunti walked up to the white dove table, picked up the silver kettle on the table, and filled the queen's glass with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Lord Ralton for his opinion?"

Kenny seems to turn a deaf ear to this.

"Go out, I think, he might have to talk to me alone. The white dove waved at them, and the Protector of Hess and the Marquis of Kunti bowed. "Oh, by the way," she seemed to remember something, "Dharma Protector, remember to do that thing as soon as possible, we need more clues." ”

"Rest assured, Your Majesty. The old Dharma Protector took a step back and left the study with Kun on his hind feet.

She looked at Kenny by the fire. He was staring at the hidden door, the footsteps of the two men had long since disappeared, and his resolute cheeks were like those of a skilfully carved god, and on them there was a scar wounded by the flames of war, and a thin carp was stamped by the fire of the orange furnace, and his chin was raised from behind his ears.

She didn't say a word, just looked at him quietly, the study filled with the fragrance of mint and wine, and the silence of the sultry night.

"You shouldn't do that. He finally spoke.

"I just wanted to help you. ”

He looked up at those blue eyes, behind the desk, under the flickering lamp overhead, one moment silhouette, the next in sight, until she came and took his hand on his knee. "I really just want to help you, Nameless. She said, "You see, I don't mind anything, even looking for your wife." ”

"The god Konamu will not allow me to have two wives at the same time..... So, sorry, White Dove. Kenny got up and gently pushed her away and left the study.

She looked at the back, and at the same time looked at herself in the mirror. You say, how much you must love him, to help him find his wife, Mira Kelling, how much you must love him.....
