Chapter 37 The Sprout of Shurasa
Blocked by the towering Abers, the cold air from the north could not easily enter the vast Massarea Plains. Because of this www.biquge.info Mastar in September is still hot, even hotter than in July. It is precisely because of this that the elderly emperor, Hermez II, did not escape the clutches of death in the end. Less than two months after the death of his lifelong nemesis, Charles I, he took his last breath on September 9.
The various factions of Shurasa were very well-behaved during the three days of the great mourning, so that the mediocre monarch left the earthly world peacefully. However, a temporary compromise does not mean a permanent reconciliation.
For the emperor's death, Sigrani was obviously hit harder. After attending the funeral, she hadn't been out for a whole day. After some discussion, it was decided that Atalanta should inquire about it.
"Please come in." Sigrani heard a knock at the door and replied casually.
"Your Highness the Princess." Atalanta came in with a plate, "You haven't eaten in a day, even if you eat some fruit." ”
"Thank you, Atalanta." Sigrani replied quietly.
Suddenly, Sigrani seemed to be nauseous and violently retched.
"Your Highness!!" Atalanta leaned in with concern.
Sigrani waved her hand to signal that it was okay, and after a while, she pulled Atalanta to her side, and after whispering a few words, Atalante's face changed dramatically.
"No, you have to deal with it quickly." Atalanta paced back and forth a few steps, "Find the Imperial Doctor, and then kill the mouth when the matter is done!" ”
"No, I'm going to keep it."
"Let's go and instigate Lord Fielders to propose, then."
"That's too wronged for him."
"Your Highness, can you give a better solution?" Atalanta almost had the idea that the woman in front of her wasn't Sigrani. Although the woman in front of her is still Sigrani's appearance, she has lost her previous imperial momentum, and she is described as haggard, suffering from gains and losses.
"Atalanta, I've been wondering what would happen even if I became an empress? It's not that you can't get Sogrand, but instead of this, it is better to choose to give up the throne and go to Falunsi to follow Sogrande. ”
"Pop" The red fingerprints left on Higrani's delicate face, and Atalanta nodded to the ground on one knee and said, "Your Highness, how can you say such a thing? It's not that you become an empress because you want to be an empress, it's that many people want you to be an empress. What will happen to me, Cosette, and the sisters of the Hundred Flowers if you're gone? What about the Marquis de Felds, who has always loved you? What about Hayes? What about the 11,000 generals you redeemed with jewelry and clothes? At this point, Atalanth was already in tears, "Take a step back, even if you get to Lord Luce, what do you think you can do to hold his heart?" Not to mention the wonderful Mademoiselle Lanfonte, how could you fall in love with Thorgrandelius if he was captured by beauty and tenderness? If you leave everything here, you will no longer be the princess Sigrani worthy of Lord Leus. ”
"Atalanta, I ......" Sigrani also reached out to help Atalanta, but Atalanta dodged it, got up and said: "The subordinates are really unable to help themselves. Please think twice about your Highness. Whatever decision Your Highness makes, I will never go against His Highness's will. After saying that, he left the room after owing a debt in an unfamiliar attitude.
Looking at the door that had been gently closed, Sigrani fell into a state of melancholy .......
It took a long time for her to wake up from her numbness, and she suddenly ran eagerly to the desk and rummaged frantically. After a few moments, she clutched an envelope like a drowning person grasping at a life-saving straw. That's what Sogrand left her.
Sigrani tore open the envelope and shook the paper in a panic.
Dear Highness the Princess,
When you open this letter, the first thing to say to you is "Please mourn", your father should have passed away. The Queen's Party is also ready for an attack on you, but it's not your biggest crisis. Your problem is certainly not the 300,000 men of the Southern Army, but your biggest and most important problem to solve is not to have any hesitation or doubt about becoming the Empress of Mastar. Your determination is your most important weapon.
…………
…………
The plan mentioned above also requires a suitable person, preferably a romantic adventurist spirit, and a fresh face in military and political circles, as well as other abilities corresponding to this task.
Peace be upon you.
Thorgrandelius
The phrase "Peace be upon you" was deeply imprinted in Sigrani's mind, and she pressed the letter to her chest, wept silently, and fell to her knees on the edge of her desk.......
Hayes and Redknapp were at Hayes' house, playing chess and drinking 330-year-old Faltu.
"The emperor is finally dead, and now there is a good show to watch." Redknapp took a sip of his drink.
"When can you stop gloating over everything?" Hayes thought for a long time and then took a step.
"I guess it's hard, we have too many boring people here. I am more suitable to be a subordinate of Lord Leus. Redknapp casually responded.
"Miss Lance certainly doesn't like to hear that." Hayes made another move.
"I proposed at the end of the year, and although it was an unstable little guy, it was quite cute."
"Do you think Count Lance is willing to marry his precious sister to a prodigal like you?" Hayes quipped.
"If a toad like you can chase a swan like Atalanta, why can't I?"
Redknapp retorted mercilessly, answering the hand with another hand.
"I'm sorry, I won." Hayes smirked.
"Huh? No way? Redknapp panicked, "What about my 'Queen'?" How did my 'soldier' end up here? You actually steal chess while I'm not ready! ”
Just as the two were in a quarrel, the butler sent a letter. As soon as he saw the beautiful female handwriting on the letter, Hayes immediately threw the chess game aside.
"Atalanta has finally come to date me, it's still the middle of the night, hehe......" Hayes smugly, "but why is it Fielders' house?" ”
"Maybe I want to have a showdown with you: 'I'm sorry, I'm already a man of the Marquis.' The marquis was very unhappy because of the relationship between the princess and Lord Luce, and maybe when he was depressed, he ......"
"Atalanta is not such a casual woman!" Hayes was on the verge of choking him.
"Then what were you excited about just now, you also have intentions for others."
"The letter also said: 'Please bring His Excellency Redknapp with you.' Speaking of which, Cosette and Atalanta have always been inseparable, do you say? Hayes finally found a chance to take revenge, "Maybe the Marquis will be depressed and ......"
"Hayes, don't stop me then," Redknapp swallowed, "I'll go back to sharpening my sword first, and we'll go together at night." ”
That night, two tall figures appeared outside the walls of the Fields house.
"I said, why do we have to go in from here?" Redknapp asked Hayes who was stepping on his shoulder.
"Nonsense, we're going to assassinate the beloved Marquis, have you ever seen an assassin swaggering in through the main entrance?" With that, Hayes had already climbed up the wall, "Atalanta, I'm coming." ”
"Bastard, pull me up." Redknapp shouted under his breath.
As soon as the two of them landed, more than a dozen torches surrounded them. "It's all your good idea!" Redknapp grumbled. But there was no other way, so the two had to obediently tie their hands and arrest them.
"Ah, both of you are here at last." Leon's voice ushered the two into the basement. As soon as Hayes saw that the princess's guards were already here, Atalanta glanced at him disdainfully, and then looked at him head-on.
"Mademoiselle Gautier knows you very well, and even gave it to her that you would come in through the wall in the backyard." Leon whispered to Hayes.
"The purpose of my invitation to come here should be clear in everyone's hearts." Atalanta spoke first, "What are we gathered under the command of His Highness Higrani? Don't you want her to become the empress and make Mastar stronger? But not everyone wants that. ”
"The strength of our guards officers is not enough," Alexto continued, "We can't win with the five of us and the sisters of the 'Hundred Flowers Army' alone, so we need to rely on the strength of the generals." ”
"Oh? So if Zai Xia and the Templar help Her Royal Highness, what good will it do to Zai Xia? Redknapp looked at Cosette with a meaningful look.
"Frank......" Hayes was about to speak, but was stopped by Atalanta.
"Needless to say," Cosette replied, "if your lord wants my personal reward, then ...... That...... That's no problem, too. He finally finished with a red face.
"Well, since we are all determined, we don't have to worry about success or failure." Redknapp smiled treacherously no matter how he looked at it.
While the people were about to discuss the specific steps, they heard footsteps and the voice of the butler outside the door: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please go back." The Marquis is already resting, and besides, how can you go straight into someone else's basement? ”
All the people in the room showed their swords in unison, and the door was slammed open with a "bang", and standing in the door was Cizer Bertrand, and behind him was a man in a cloak and hood, and a woman in stature. Leon said to the butler, "Go down, it's none of your business." The butler went down tremblingly.
"Cizer, in the middle of the night, drank wine and ran to someone else's house with a woman, it's too unseemly." Leon grumbled.
"Really? Aren't you also with so many beautiful women? There is still time to accuse me. ”
"Don't bother, which lady is behind you? I asked someone to take her back. ”
"Ah, if you're willing to send the eldest lady of the Heineer family back, I can't say anything."
After everyone hesitated for five seconds, they immediately saluted the visitor, "Her Royal Highness the princess is here, and the ministers are not welcome, I hope your highness will forgive your sins." The man who came took off his hood, and sure enough, it was Sigrani.
"Let's all be even," Sigrani grabbed Atalanta first, "I'm sorry for worrying you, Atalanta." ”
"Your Highness, this is the responsibility of your subordinates." Atalanta remained humble.
"Cizer, you're still too disrespectful." Leon was a little overwhelmed, so he had to blame his friend again.
"It's okay," Sigrani looked at Leon with a smile, "without him, I wouldn't have been able to visit His Excellency the Marquis late at night?" Is it, Fieldes? Leon could only nod his head repeatedly.
"If you don't, it doesn't fit my style." Only Alecto noticed Cezel's words.
"Hayes, the castle of 'Fieldes' has fallen." Redknapp whispered.
"Three years ago, along with the 'Hayes' castle, it was captured by the master and servant." Hayes responded.
"Alright, let's get down to business, let's talk about your thoughts first." Sigrani suggested.
(Early a day ago, Caiunescu)
Eugaris was awakened by the midday sun, and all she remembered was running away from Saulgrande's house, and all she had since been with alcohol was her impression. Eugaris endured the headache caused by the hangover and looked around. It wasn't any bed she'd slept in before, and the room was a plain and generous room she hadn't seen before. It was so style that she thought she was in Sogrande's room again, but it wasn't so crowded.
Just as she was indexing her list of regular customers, a maid pushed the door open and entered, "Ah, miss, you're finally awake." ”
"Oh, hello, may I ask ...... here"
"This is our eldest young master's room," the maid pulled the curtains completely, "and this is the first time I've seen him take a woman home." ”
"It's another prelude to the fall of a gentleman." Eugaris whispered.
It's not the first time she's had experienced this, and she just hopes that this time the customers won't be annoying. Eugaris got dressed and went out of the room with the maid leading. In the cloister of the courtyard, she saw two figures, a man and a woman, the woman was Arudina, whom she was more familiar with, and the man was neither Arudina's father nor her second brother.
"Ah, brother, it turns out that Miss Eucaris is the object of your first affair." Arudina was still as lively as a yellow bird, "You're really good at picking people." Eucaris, my brother didn't bully you. ”
"There is nothing at all, Brother Ling is very considerate." Eugaris replied in a mocking tone.
"Really?" Arudina looked mischievously at her eldest brother, Masalel. Masalel's childish baby face immediately turned red, and the bruises at the corners of her mouth burst out with a shy smile.
"...... on your face"
"Oh, nothing. It's just a little bit of activity with a few thugs. Mathera was busy covering up his injuries.
"Let me see," Eugaris gently snapped Mazarel's hand away, "does it still hurt?" Alas, for the sake of a woman like me, it is not worth it at all for you to do this. ”
"No, no, totally worth it." Mazarel blushed again, "Well, I've heard a lot about you from my sister, and a brave woman like you deserves to serve you. The level of status doesn't really mean anything...... I don't mean the work you do...... Uh......"
"Brother~, how long are you going to hold someone's hand?" Arudina saved her eldest brother from incoherence, and Mazarel hurriedly let go of Eugaris's softness. "Let's go, it's lunchtime." Arudina took Eugaris and walked away, and Mazarel blushed and followed.
