Chapter 10: Attention from Far Away
Hearing Count Ole's unexpected speech, Enid was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Interesting offer. She said, then looked at the siblings, "I think you must have something to say." ”
Patian took a deep breath.
"I'm afraid it's doable......" Patian looked coldly at the Count, while Ole smiled back with a defiant smile.
"Brother!" Bratty cried out with some anxiety, but the blonde youth squeezed her hand and motioned for her not to speak.
"Lord Earl, over the years, has been running very diligently to the king's capital, and he must have been planning something a long time ago. Patian looked at the little girl and said seriously: "I don't dare to say that he expected your appearance, but with his help and operation, you will be able to know which people can help you and which must be eliminated, plus what you just said......
Patian looked around at the crowd of people, including Noble's family guards, the count's men, and his sister's men...... Even the old merchant who had just left did not know when he returned, blending in with the crowd.
“...... It will almost certainly spread throughout the kingdom. A nine-ring mage who did not hesitate to use such rogue tactics...... I'm sure that no one in the kingdom wants to be your enemy...... If there is a choice. Patian paused, and then said his conclusion: "To sum up, if you want to, then you overthrow the current royal family and become the queen yourself, there is a very good chance of success." ”
The blonde youth's words plunged the field into silence, and the people present did not know if they were standing at a special historical moment, they looked at each other in a daze, but no one could say a word.
......
It was also a warm and lazy afternoon, and in the tea room with light blue wallpaper, a girl with blue eyes like a sky was holding a cup of tea in her hand, listening intently to the words of her most trusted subordinates in front of her.
"And then?" she asked, putting down her teacup and frowning, "did the little girl say yes?"
Wearing a meticulous black dress and neatly taking care of himself, Lawrence couldn't see the dejected look he had more than ten days ago.
It's hard to put into words, but the people in the room were convinced that they had become witnesses to an important moment that would be recorded in the history books in the future. In that atmosphere......"
"Very few people can say no...... Right?"
"Yes, Your Highness. The supremacy of a country is undoubtedly a great temptation, although we all know that at this time, if there is a civil war in that country, the end can only be to hasten its own demise. ”
The girl's fingers tapped on the teacup, and she said slowly: "Indeed, even if a nine-ring mage joins, it will not be enough to change the tide of the battle, not to mention, she has to clear the power of the original royal family first...... That's not something that can be done in a short period of time. Moreover, my senior brother may not be on her side. ”
The girl sighed, "So, Lawrence, tell me, what is her final choice?"
The gray-haired old man smiled bitterly: "I...... I don't know. And then it turned out to be like this......"
......
Just when the people were disturbed by the strange and oppressive atmosphere that filled the field, and they did not dare to gasp and look at the young girl in the carriage, waiting for her answer, Enid did not feel the same way at all.
The little girl couldn't help but laugh in her heart, you don't know anything, in the face of the real "great terror" that this world is facing, what else can a crown bring besides trouble?
In addition, Enid doesn't actually need a lot of resources, she needs time...... There are no worries from the outside, and there is time to think calmly.
So, standing in the high carriage, the little girl laughed nonchalantly: "Do you think it would be better for me to be a queen......? There is no longer a reason to continue to tolerate you. ”
The coldness in the little girl's words made Patian's legs go a little weak, and he held his sister's hand and barely stood up straight: "Everything, it depends on your will. As long as you know exactly what you want......"
What do I want? Enid never knew why her father didn't just tell him all the information, why he let himself take the Golem Legion outside to "take a look", and publicly explained in front of so many people that his mother was actually from the royal family.
Later, she even felt that her father tried his best to hint that he had eased relations with the royal party, because there was still a force on the royal capital that she couldn't resist even after revealing her identity?
But now it seems that he really just wants to let himself see the outside world, meet those "relatives" in the royal capital, and meet ...... Where my mother lived.
What an emotional thing, that gardener father...... The little girl pulled her thoughts back to her eyes.
She replied calmly, "What I want, you will know later." Now, things are coming one by one. ”
Facing the Count with an expectant expression on her face, she said again, "What happened to the black fog before the attack began?"
Everyone felt that something was wrong with their ears.
......
"The way a child thinks is incomprehensible!" cried out the girl in annoyance. "What the hell is this, did she refuse the Count's offer?"
"I can't be sure......" Lawrence replied with a wry smile, "because next, that little girl used a soundproofing spell...... Thanks to the props that Lord Stormlord had given me, I was able to hear their secret conversation ensuing. ”
"You've worked hard. The girl said gently, she knew how much risk this loyal subordinate had taken for the rest of the information.
Then she forced out from the earl that the person who released the black fog was his wife, who was born with albinism. That black fog spell was developed by the Ole family for each generation of spellcasters suffering from albinism. ”
"So, presumably those wandering bandits will only attack that imp's convoy under the guidance of the Earl?"
"It was so, under the pressure of her unreasonable spell detection and force, that the earl was forced to confess everything, including all his ulterior thoughts, such as...... In fact, he also wanted to borrow the little girl's hand and kill his hair-tied wife. ”
"Oh?" the girl raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, according to the earl, on the one hand, he could not stand the increasingly obedient wife, and on the other hand, it was because he met the little princess of the current royal family of Xia in the royal capital, and fell ......in love at first sight," Lawrence shook his head with a wry smile.
"Thea's one?" said the maiden thoughtfully, "I've heard her name a lot." ”
"That's because she, Your Highness, are among the best young spellcasters today~~" Lawrence laughed a little narrowly: "However, this statement is probably about to change......"
"Damn imp!" the girl's soft eyebrows slumped, and she muttered a little unwillingly.
The old man looked at the angry girl with a smile, and continued to tell the end of that scene: "It is indeed a rare and interesting thing for a dignified earl to be stripped of all his privacy, but what is even more interesting is ......"
......
In the soundproof barrier.
Ole, dressed in red, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of the little girl: "As you can see, this is the real me, please accept my allegiance, dear Miss Noble, I swear that from now on, your will will is my direction." ”
Enid in the carriage was silent for a moment, then said, "That's because you're sure that with me, you'll get more, right?"
"Yes, whether you are on the side of the royal party or want to overthrow them, I can give you important help, and I am confident that you will not let the meritorious man gain nothing. ”
......
"So, that imp just acquiesced in his allegiance?"
"Yes, so I'm still not sure about the little girl's attitude, or ...... What she wanted to do. ”
"That little imp is really ......" the girl sighed, then stood up, "That's all for today." I'll have to sort out the report you brought back and send it to the teacher. ”
