In the middle of May, the weather in France already reveals the atmosphere of early summer. The climate of the middle reaches www.biquge.info of the Falenas River is very typical of the ocean-influenced continental climate, and this is the sunniest time of the year. As the temperature gradually rises, various plants and animals begin to reproduce actively. Therefore, during this period, it was the most important problem for farmers to deal with all kinds of insects in the breeding period, which was a heavy labor in ancient times when chemistry and biology were not developed.

It was close to noon, and the farmers in the suburbs of Caiunescu, who were finishing up their morning's work, heard a crisp dragon roar, and many of them raised their slightly aching necks and looked up to the sky. Only a young wyvern could be seen hovering overhead, happily enjoying the warm air currents of Farency May.

"Grandpa, look at that flying dragon!" The farmer boy on the edge of the field pointed curiously to the sky.

"Hehe," the old man looked up and laughed, "what a young wyvern, you see how happy this kid is, I guess it's a new addition to the dragon knight squadron." ”

"It would be great if one day I could become a dragon knight too." Flying is a supreme attraction for children of all ages.

"Maybe, if you can have a good harvest all the time, you can also go to the non-commissioned officer academy." The old man comforted his grandson.

If someone can turn into a lark at this time, then he will see that there is also a teenager sitting on the dragon's back.

"Okay, Xiuda, we've had enough, let's hurry back to Sister-in-law." The boy gently stroked the dragon's neck.

The wyvern hissed, obeyed the little master's wishes, turned around obediently, and flew south.

About 2 fathoms from the place where it had just been, a convoy escorted by the Fallensi hussars marched slowly along the road leading to the royal capital of Kaunescu. In the center of the convoy was a very delicate four-wheeled carriage, which, judging by its intricately carved gilt ornaments, must have been matched by the royal families on the mainland.

"Captain of the Guard," a voice sounded in the car that we had some impressions, "why hasn't His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince come back yet?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, don't worry, His Highness Antaras will not spend less time on the back of the dragon than I will spend on the horse. Besides, the Falunsi side sent a small team of dragon knights to follow His Royal Highness the Prince, and it would be fine. ”

"Of course it's best if it's okay, I know that the whole country spoils him, and if something goes wrong, I don't dare to go back to Hitaros."

Her Royal Highness the Princess laughed. The captain of the guard laughed, "Oh, you see, this is not back. ”

A young wyvern swept over the convoy.

"Let him come down, come to me, it's about to be Kaunescu, it's time to get ready."

"Yes, Your Highness." The captain of the guard left the window.

A few minutes later, Antaras, the sixth prince of Hitaros, got into the carriage.

"Sister-in-law......" Antaras always felt shy in the face of older women than him, and even though the other party's face was completely hidden behind a black veil at this time, the teenager still felt nervous.

If the reader has a good memory, he should guess who the woman in the carriage in the black dress is called Her Royal Highness, and indeed she is the only daughter of the former commander-in-chief, Racoxiu, and now the princess of Canites, the third prince of Hitaros.

Rakoxiu tidied up the appearance of the young man sitting in front of her, to see if there was anything wrong with the dress she had just changed, but she just tidied up the collar of the other party in vain.

"Yes, that's good." Rakoxiu finished his work, "He is a handsome little man with spirit, and he has the style of a prince." ”

Antaras is the son of former Hitaros King Leodannis III and is the sixth male member of the royal family, but he has a seven-year gap with the fifth prince Fels, who has just turned 15 this year. Even the closest to him, the third princess, Iphigonea, was three years older than him. Antaras was the only son of the last wife of Leodannis III and the current Queen Mother, and because the current King Koles I had no children, he was ranked third in line of succession. It wasn't an ideal location for his ambitious mother.

As we mentioned earlier, the men of the royal family of Hitarus, the Langdena family, are naturally amorous, which can be known by the fathers of the princes now, and there is no current monarch on Yartikat who has as many wives and children as Leodannis III, plus the polygamous custom of Hitaros, so the five brothers of Antaras are all in debt everywhere. They were all men of the model Landner family who had built a harem before they had accepted the fief.

However, this prince of Antaras has a tendency to surpass the famous handsome third Canites in appearance, and the dazzling blonde hair inherited from his mother, coupled with the charming blue eyes that the Landner family has always had, can be said to be a rather handsome and beautiful boy. There was even such a story: on the night of the wedding of Canites and Rakoxiu, the second prince Minox asked, Brother Wang, why did you change your sex and decide to marry the concubine. Canites replied, because in two years the beauties of all Hitaros will no longer be interested in me, and then they will definitely fight for the sixth.

However, then again, Prince Antaras, who was born as a son, seems to have automatically abandoned the bad genetics of the royal family. Of course, it is also possible that because he is the youngest and has always been well-behaved and cute, his brothers, who have always loved him, have protected him too well, and there is no sign of the little prince inheriting the "glorious" tradition of the royal family. And after the little prince's gentle and honest temperament was discovered, the royal brothers, who had a good sense of responsibility, were even more worried about their brother, and in the words of Canitus: "Originally, I was only worried that he would cause some bloodshed, and we could cover up the past for him; But according to the current trend, those celebrities, ladies and ladies may trample on all the moral dignity of the world for this kid, and that is not a sin that mortals like me can cover. It was also rumored that Canites even said things like, "For the peace of mankind, in order to prevent the destruction of the world, little brother, don't blame your brother for being ruthless, you will be disfigured", but of course the third prince denied it.

Laughing and talking about the above tea, the Prince of Antaras is not only outstanding in appearance, but also excellent in all aspects. Both in politics and in the military, it has shown excellent potential. What makes the royal family and the general public even happier is that the little prince is a dragon knight, you must know that there are so many men in the royal family, and there have been no dragon knights for three generations. In the minds of the Hitarus, there is no profession of noble blood more than that of a dragon knight. Therefore, the whole country devoted twelve points of enthusiasm to this child to pamper him.

Tired of being spoiled by his relatives and people in the country, Antaras, this time in the name of escorting Princess Rakoxiu of Canites back to his home country to mourn his father, the young prince finally seized the opportunity to escape from the cage in a sense. However, the princes' permission for his trip was not another form of doting?

"Sister-in-law," the young man said first in order to break his embarrassment, "what kind of country is France?" I've heard that their king is young now, isn't it? I also heard that their prime minister was also very young, even a little younger than the three royal brothers. How can people rest assured of them? ”

"First of all, my dear brother, please use 'you' instead of 'they' when speaking to me about Falencia, even if I become the wife of your brother of the Three Kings, I am after all a Phalenci who grew up. This will always be my homeland, don't talk to me about an inconsequential place. "As for the people you want to know, I don't think I've been in contact with them for too long to give you a very comprehensive introduction. If you are interested in the traditions and history of this country, I will be happy to give you an answer, but for your current question, I think it is better for you to observe it yourself. Your royal brothers have always been proud of you, and I believe that you will not lack such ability. ”

After hearing this, Antaras answered softly and looked out the window. His question just now was not a whim, but indeed a long-standing curiosity brought about by his own observations. Speaking of which, when I occasionally hear my brothers talk about Sogrend Leus, the current prime minister of Farensi, there is always a feeling that they seem to be running away if they have won the battle. It seems that all their royal brothers feel that they themselves are inferior to this man in some way...... Let's find a place to sweat), especially Kanites. The elder brother, who was full of perfection and merit in Antaras's eyes, also carried such emotions, which made Antaras more and more curious about the country of Farensi.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, Your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, the greeting procession of the Janissaries of France has arrived." The captain of the guard came to the window again and reported.

"Okay, when they're done handing over and calling their commander, I'd like to find someone to catch up with." Rakoxiu commanded.

The commander of the hussar convoy of the Eighth Legion, who had followed him all the way from Parello, began to hand over his tasks to his Praetorian counterparts, and both sides saluted each other in a neat manner.

"The Hussar Special Escort Group of the Eighth Legion is now preparing to hand over the mission to the Praetorian Guard, please ask for your name and rank."

"I am the commander of the Praetorian Guard, General Ernest Sauer, and now I ask your ministry to hand over the task, please explain."

"Yes, the lower officer is Captain Joan Curran of the 114th Regiment of the 23rd Division of the Eighth Army, and this time with a total of 150 subordinates is responsible for escorting Prince Rakoxiu and Prince Antaras of Hitaros. This is the entry document and has a total entourage of 107 people, including 47 royal servants and 50 royal guards, as well as 10 diplomats. The whole team includes 2 four-wheeled double-set carriages, 12 four-set carts, 60 military horses, and 18 other mules, horses and donkeys. After entering the country, I bought 3 horses and a mule on the way, and the rest of the shopping list after entering the country is here. Lieutenant Curran said, handing over a roll of parchment.

Sauer took the paperwork and checklist and handed it to the adjutant behind him to check. A few minutes later, the adjutant reported that there were no problems, and Sauer looked at it again for himself. Then the adjutant was instructed to hand over the signed receipt to the other party, and the two sides saluted goodbye again.

"My lord, our princess, please come over and talk about it." The captain of the guard on the Hitarus side stepped forward and invited in the official language of the mainland.

"All right," Sauer replied with a few words of remarks, and then said, "I should go and see this old subordinate too, please." ”

Sauer drove to the side window of the carriage in which Racoxiu was riding, and knocked politely. The man inside opened the window.

"Heh, it turned out to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard, why did you run down in person today. Isn't this a job supposed to be done by a female officer who is a deputy, and what about Chenna? Rakoxiu said.

"I'm sorry," replied Sauer unceremoniously, "Miss Lanfonte is now of the same rank as me, and she must be training with her own legion." In about a month and a half, they will have to fight the First Legion, and now is a tense time. ”

Own legion? Both Rakoxiu and Antaras, who were in the car, were taken aback. Rakoxiu was surprised because she didn't think that the unspoken rule of not letting women be the commander of the Legion had been broken, and that the person who broke the convention that seemed to be stronger than Hays's shield was Chinna, who had spent a lot of time with her. As for Antaras, being born in a more patriarchal society like Hitarus compared to the rest of the Northern Continent would have been inconceivable for a woman to command an army of more than 10,000 men. Even Antaras has been instilled with ideas such as "beautiful women should only be pampered in our arms" by those bad fathers and brothers since childhood.

"Yeft was transferred by Her Majesty the Queen again, I don't know what to do, according to the rules, the Prime Minister has to wait at the hotel, so I am the only one who is both level and free." Sauer makes a dispensable explanation.

"So, let's go." Rakoxiu said.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Originally, there was no state hotel in Farensi, but it was only later that Sogrend, who was in a daze with a large number of confiscated former prime ministers' family property, made this suggestion. The former residence of Sanadine Piero was used as a state guesthouse for envoys and distinguished guests, and the houses of several others, except for Douglas Glen's, were diverted for the expansion of the Praetorian Officers' Quarters and the Non-commissioned Officer Academy. And the former prime minister's house has a natural advantage, that is, there are many secret passages and secret rooms, if you want to engage in some espionage activities, it seems to be an ideal place. Anyway, all the secret passages and secret chambers are known only to the Pharisens.

The group soon arrived at the hotel, the natural red Pamis cashmere carpet, the handsome and upright guard of honor of the Praetorian Guard. After getting off the bus, Rakoxiu and Antaras greeted them outside at Farsberg (now he was the foreign minister of Farensi), while Sogrend waited in the lobby of the hotel.

"It is a great honor to meet you, Prince of Antaras; You are very welcome back to your homeland, Your Highness Racosiu. Thorgrande smiled sheepishly, but the kiss to Racoxiu was clearly perfunctory.

"Me too, dear Lord Luce." Lakoxiu looked straight at the man who was once in his own Golden Beetle Son-in-law plan, but unfortunately, like more than a year ago, Lakexiu still couldn't see through the man in front of him.

"We deeply regret Ling Zun's matter." Sogrand began to pour out a little polite remark, "Fortunately, Lingtang has been blessed by Admiral Douglas Gran and God, but it is still immersed in grief. But when you come, everything will be fine, and for Ling Tang, you are her only support. ”

The mention of his father made Rakoxiu feel a pang of sadness. Although Old Becky has always opposed his marriage, Racoxiu has always thought that his father, who loves him very much, is just reluctant to marry his baby daughter far away, worrying that she will suffer in a distant foreign country. So, the news of her father's death came from the side of Falunsi, which made her depressed until now.

"I want to take my mother to Hitarus after spending some time in Falunsi, I wonder what the Prime Minister means?"

"As far as the old age is concerned, this is of course the best, as long as Ling Tang has no opinion, Her Majesty will not interfere too much in the family affairs of her subjects, what do you say?" Sogre still had a smile of diplomatic courtesy.

"So be it."

After dealing with Rakoxiu, Sogrend turned to Antaras, "The reputation of Prince Antaras has long been heard of in the future, and when I see it today, it seems that it is a hundred times better than the rumors." ”

The young man, who lacked diplomatic experience, was immediately flushed with such compliments, and only whispered back for a long time, I have admired the reputation of Lord Luce for a long time. Thorgrande then made polite remarks such as wanting to have a good time here, if you are not used to life in time, please bring it up in time, and how to feel at home.

"Your Excellency," Sogland said, taking advantage of the interval between his speeches, to drag Sauer, "what about Her Majesty?" I'm going to see her sitting at the table at lunchtime, and you're going to get her back." ”

"What can I do, Your Majesty took Yeft early in the morning, when I had just arrived at the office. Who knows what to do, I think there will be nothing wrong with Yeft anyway, so I didn't ask. ”

"Then go find it now, and execute that Operation 101."

"I see."

"Remember, before noon."

After sending Sauer away, Sogrend turned around and smiled at the Hitaros: "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, the librarians of our hotel will take you to your rooms, please stay with them, this place is very big, and I often get lost (laughter)." After Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince have packed their belongings, we will send someone to pick them up, and our Majesty will entertain them for lunch. With that, Thorgrande bowed gracefully, and then took his leave of the Hitarus.

――――――― lazy dividing line―――――――

Speaking of some digressions, I saw in the newspaper today that someone suspected that a supergirl had plagiarized the Xinmin Evening News football review (it is really not easy to think about that paragraph), and was immediately abused and attacked by her fans on the Internet. From this, it seems very ridiculous that a senior American official claimed that the supergirl phenomenon was "the germination of democracy in China." Supergirl is a model of democracy, just some kind of foolish entertainment similar to religious fanaticism. When people stop thinking, then democracy will inevitably die, but the skin of a dead democracy will still be covered by all kinds of ugly creatures, such as Supergirl.
