Chapter 483: A Bad Premonition
The construction of water conservancy projects has gone wrong, and it can be said that there is a lack of experience and a rush of carelessness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But in front of him, thousands of fertile fields have become water towns, but there is no sign of emergency repairs and remedies, and even before Merkel sent someone to investigate, no one came to Santan to report the crime. It's not as simple as an accident.
The nobles of Quentin would not do such a thing unless they were impatient with their lives. So, it's certain that someone is behind it.
Now that there are external troubles everywhere, the world is about to change color, Donner is racing against time and has not enough time, and he absolutely can't tolerate someone hiding in the dark and dragging him back.
He looked at Wesley and smiled angrily, "Looks like we're too gentle." ”
"Well, you have to show them the bottom line. Wesley spoke contemptuously.
Lucia heard a hint of murderous intent from the seemingly relaxed conversation between the two, and hurriedly said, "Give me a few days, and I will give you an explanation." ”
Wesley waved his hand and said, "Lucia, you misunderstood, I mean: it is necessary to make the idiots of Quentin Province pay a little price. ”
Lucia's face was relieved, but she couldn't help but look at Donner with a pleading look, she feared that Donner's anger was directed at her father, Emperor Auston.
Donner smiled slightly and said, "I'll accompany you to Coenas ......"
"Good!" Wesley slapped his thigh, "I'll leave it here!"
......
Donner left Una and Layla with Wesley, who are now highly accomplished in magic and can help rebuild the river. As for how to "draw the bottom line" for those nobles, Donner believes that Wesley can master the size and proportion.
Then, with Lucia, he headed south to Coenas.
Late that night, when Coenas was visible under the stars, Donner took the initiative to slow down his horse. Two people and two horses, walking side by side along the official road leading to the imperial capital.
Lucia thought that Donner had something to say to him, and after waiting for a long time and not seeing him speak, she took the initiative to say, "Veronica gave birth to a boy six months ago, you know, right?"
"Do you think this incident has something to do with this?" Donner didn't expect Lucia to talk about this first.
"Actually...... I mean, when I see my father and Veronica, I don't know what to do with myself. Lucia sighed, "Still, when you say that, I think it's possible." ”
She glanced at Donner and said softly, "Before I left, my father was a little jealous of you, but now that the empire has an heir, he may be even more worried...... Downer, I know that my father thinks too much, promise me, let me persuade him, okay?"
"I always felt like it wasn't that simple...... Lucia, did your father have any children after you?" asked Donner.
Lucia looked at Donner with some confusion, "Of course not, why would you ask that?"
"I mean......" Donald pondered, "Hmm...... Did you know that sometimes magicians give birth to deformed children, and when that happens, they dispose of the children......"
"Well, I've heard of such things," replied Lucia, "but not my father, at least not since I was sensible." ”
"And no one ever doubted Veronica's pregnancy this time?" asked Donner, "after all, your father hasn't had children for so many years." ”
"You're worried there's a ghost in there?" Lucia wondered.
"I just think it's a little weird......" Donner smiled.
By this time, they had come to the city of Coennas, and the gates were already closed.
However, when the guards at the head of the city heard Lucia's identity report, they immediately lowered the drawbridge and welcomed the princess into the city.
Downer and Lucia made a beeline for the Faimon Palace as soon as they entered the city.
At this time, it was already late at night, and everything was quiet except for the guard knights patrolling the palace.
When the leading guard knight saw Lucia coming, he saluted respectfully and said loudly, "Your Royal Highness, Princess, you are back......"
Lucia returned the salute and asked softly, "Is Your Majesty here?"
Your Majesty must be very happy to see you return to the palace!"
Lucia turned and asked Donner, "I'm going to see my father, do you want to come along?"
"Let's be together...... Donner said, subconsciously looking around.
Donner had been to the palace several times before, but only to the main hall, and this was the first time he had entered the inner court of the palace.
Along the way, the two walked through the flower-scented promenade, through the golden arches, and everywhere they passed, there were guards stationed, but with Lucia leading the way, the natural passage was unimpeded.
"Compared to here, Fog City is too shabby. Donner sighed softly.
"Don't you think it's too oppressive here?" Lucia asked with a smile.
Donner didn't answer the question, but frowned slightly: "Usually at night, are there so many people here?"
"I'm used to it. Lucia laughed.
Donner smiled, too, but glanced in a certain direction.
At this time, Lucia came to a cloister staircase made of white jade, and asked the guards, "Is Your Majesty in the dormitory?"
The young guard bowed his head and said softly, "Yes." ”
Donner then followed Lucia up the stairs, and halfway through he glanced back at the guard, who, seeing him looking at him, hurriedly lowered his head again.
Donner's brow furrowed even tighter, and his right hand subconsciously touched the staff in his arms.
......
Donner, along with Lucia, stood in the corridor outside the Auston Emperor's chambers, waiting for the maid to come in and report it.
This is the highest point of the Faymont Palace, with the emperor's bedroom on one side of the corridor and the night view of Cohenas on the other side.
The starlit palace is carved out of a single piece of jade, glowing with a soft white light, and the promenade is lined with blooming flowers on both sides, and the figures of the guards disappear from time to time at the corner of the promenade in the distance.
Lucia looked at Donner and said with a wry smile: "It's really different, I never needed to report when I entered my father's dormitory before......"
Donner's eyes swept over the row of stone pillars in front of the Emperor's bedchamber to make sure there was no one hiding behind them. However, he was still a little uneasy, and always felt that the atmosphere in the palace was a little strange.
"Be careful, try not to part with me. He whispered.
Only then did Lucia notice his solemn expression and wondered, "Is there something wrong?"
"When I walked in just now, I noticed that there were quite a few people hiding in the shadows, and the guard downstairs had a fast heartbeat...... Donner replied.
Lucia smiled and said, "In order to prevent assassins, there have always been knights in the palace who are hidden in the shadows, and as for the guard...... I guess I was shocked by the magician momentum on your body, right?"
"I hope so...... But you'd better be careful. Donner's expression didn't relax as Lucia explained.
"Well, I'll follow you at all times. Lucia smiled sweetly.
While the two were talking, the maid came out to inform that Emperor Auston had asked Her Royal Highness the Princess and Duke Vane to go in together.
