Chapter 15 The Enchantress with Different Pupils

"Saulgrand. Leus just used the power of the second pharaoh like this? Just to give freedom to a slave? Fiona asked curiously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it seems to be a bit atmospheric to hear that Sogrand used the power of the pharaoh for the first time, then this second use of power seems a little unworthy.

"Yes, he used the authority of the Second Pharaoh to grant freedom to the black slave." Abinas replied.

"Who, then, is this man who has been set free?" Lan Feng asked.

"Ha, Mr. Lan Feng got to the point at once," Abinas slapped his thigh with a smile, "At that time, none of us cared about who His Excellency Luce had given him freedom, we only cared that he had used the power of the pharaoh again. But if you were talking about it with people in the know right now, they would say that it was probably one of the most far-sighted things that Lord Luce had ever done. ”

"So ......"

"Yes, the black slave who was granted perpetual freedom is now the king of Mias, Memnon." Abinas unravels the mystery.

"Who's that? Ouch! Yusuf clutched the back of his head and glared at his brother with indignation. Although Frank didn't know either, he at least knew that he shouldn't behave as ignorant in front of foreign envoys.

We told our readers about Anvarasna at a very early stage. Less than 10 years after its rebirth, the kingdom of Mias was located on the Mias Plateau, which occupied two-fifths of the area of Anvarasna, and the emergence of this new kingdom created a buffer zone between the two great powers of Anvarasna. When the old balance is broken, a new balance is quickly formed. It was the first nation in human history to be founded entirely by dark-skinned men, and the Mias, who had always been regarded as "uncivilized apes" by Efini and Hertz, showed their own strength to these two unfriendly neighbors. Naturally, the riches of the Mias Plateau have returned to the owners who rightfully own them.

Naturally, anyone who cares about the situation on the southern continent will be interested in King Memnon of Mias. After returning to his homeland, this former slave gradually united the many tribes of the Mias Plateau and built a fighting army. What surprised people at first was that the fugitive behaved like both a brilliant military commander and a determined politician. Especially the latter, the generals of Efini and Herz were not unfaced opponents on the battlefield of Mias, but it was easy to rely on absolute superiority in forces to finally annihilate each other. However, the united Mias are a different concept. When the Efinians finally remembered who had given the black king his freedom, they understood that there was no point in continuing to dwell with the sturdy Mias spear-throwers on the Mias Plateau.

"So, tell me how he used the power of the Third Pharaoh?" Fiona asked.

"As for the third time, haha, unfortunately, I didn't get to see it with my own eyes." Abinas laughed.

"Haven't you always been by his side?" Fiore asked.

"But Lord Leus hasn't used the power of the Third Pharaoh yet, and what hasn't happened, how can I, as a mortal, see it?" Abinas laughed slyly.

After continuing to chit-chat for a while, several young men took their leave of Abinas. The Servant of Amun, under the pretext that he was unfamiliar with the land, wished to accompany the ship of the Mastar, and Fiore agreed.

After that, the group arrived at the capital of Mastar, Shurasa, on April 7. After arriving at the destination, the Efinians naturally went to hand over diplomatic tokens and check into hotels; The Redknapp brothers and the Hayes siblings also went home separately. Originally, Lan Feng also thought that he should be the same as the Efinians, but Fiona disagreed. How could the old men of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly agree with a lone envoy sent by a country that they had never heard of? So, Lan Feng still followed the Hayes brothers and sisters home, which made the Redknapp brothers quite resigned.

Lan Feng naturally met the Earl and Lady Hayes at the Hayes house, and the appearance of the couple has not changed much compared to 15 years ago. Atalanta still maintained the habit of exercising from time to time, and Bavar insisted on not letting her have children because she felt sorry for his wife's body, so she did not gain weight and still maintained the proportions of a young woman. Bavar, Earl of Hayes, showed little sign of declining energy, except for his beard and a few signs of age on his forehead.

The couple were naturally overjoyed by Fiona's safe return, and Atalanta couldn't hide her tears. Although Bavar didn't say anything, his wife's injury in the south last time had already made him palpitate, and in fact, this time he was also cursing the city in the south with worry. They weren't too interested in Lan Feng's origins, but because Fiona claimed that Lan Feng had protected her, they still had a lot of good intentions towards this handsome young man.

"You should go and meet Her Highness tomorrow, she has been talking about you." Atalanta said to her daughter.

"Okay, do I need to go to Your Majesty's side?"

"If she is free, you can also come over, and when you were kidnapped, His Majesty was also worried about you."

"Is my brother going with me?"

"Of course I'll go with you."

"What about Lan Feng, can he also go with me?"

Atalanta looked at Lan Feng and smiled, "Okay, he should be able to go with him too, as long as you are not afraid that Her Royal Highness the princess will be jealous." ”

"You don't have to worry about that, Theodora and I are the best ordinary friends." Fiona deliberately emphasized the word "ordinary".

Hearing his sister say this, Fiore couldn't help but laugh secretly. Lan Feng looked at him with some puzzlement, and Fiore hurriedly pulled him by the shoulder, and took him away under the pretext of arranging a room for him.

"Are you curious why I was smiling like that?" Up the stairs, Fiore said.

"Ah, a little."

"That's because, ah, the girl who dared to say in Shulasa that she was just an ordinary friend with Her Royal Highness the princess, probably only my sister. Of course, if you go back to the roots, it's not actually an easy thing to do. Sooner or later, though, you'll know that instead of letting you guess through irresponsible nonsense, let me tell you the truth. ”

Empress Sigrani of Marstar had a son and a daughter, and the future first heir to the empire, Crown Prince Lehman, was born to the late Archduke Leon of Field, and the boy inherited the golden eyes of the Henell family. And Princess Theodora, who is three years older than him, although she is also officially Leon's daughter, but as this princess grows up, the voice of doubt has not stopped for a moment. The reason is that Princess Theodora has unusually two-colored eyes, except for the golden-colored left eye, but the right eye happens to be amethyst-like. Someone with a heart compared the situation back then, so Princess Theodora's biological father was not Archduke Field, but Thorgrand. Leus's statement went viral.

Empress Sigrani never acknowledged this rumor, but the voice of public opinion was so strong that all the Mastar nobles thought it was probably true. While the old duke of North Fields was still alive, the Empress severely suppressed this rumor. However, wait until the old duke of North Felds and Frederick. Immediately after the death of Baron Fielders, the royal family transferred the assets and interests of North Fields to Prince Lehman, who was still small at the time, in the name of direct succession. After that, the Empress's grip on the rumors waned.

Naturally, the more and more rumors spread to the ears of the person concerned, and Princess Theodora's temperament became more and more eccentric, and her behavior became more and more deviant. In fact, what she did at the beginning was not too out of place compared to the average gentleman. This princess probably inherited the excellent genes of both her biological parents, and she was outstanding in all aspects, so her initial little rebellion did not cause everyone to worry. However, at the age when Theodora began to learn about men and women, trouble ensued.

If the princess had started hunting men, the nobles of Mastar would have thought it was a good opportunity to climb the dragon and join the phoenix. But the problem is that this princess is a fishing and hunting woman, which makes the noble class of Mastar from top to bottom, from old to young, a headache. If Miss Guifu is deceived by the prince into bed, then congratulations, Ling Ai is going to become the imperial concubine. But Miss Guifu was tricked into bed by the princess, so how should it be calculated? Of course, if you sleep, you will sleep in vain. And for those young gentlemen, the real problem that Theodora brings to them is that pickle girls are not a woman's opponent at all. This has a very embarrassing consequence, first, you can't throw white gloves at a woman; Second, even if you throw it, you may not win.

Of course, some people will say that as long as they control their own daughters, they do not believe that the wind of lilies can overwhelm the natural nature of human reproduction. But when you hear the ladies of the nobility whispering to each other, "Your Highness Theodora's right eye has a terrifying magical power." "Ah, ah, I really want to show her" is something like that, and normal people will definitely feel hopeless.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as Miss Hayes. According to Fiore, Ceodora once said to him privately: "If only you were a sister, Fiona is too cunning to fight her in the future." The princess's confession reassured the Hayes a lot.

However, such lucky aristocratic parents belong to the minority after all, and Princess Theodora has climbed the balcony of many young ladies in the boudoir over the years, which may be close to an unimaginable number. There was even a "first half of the night when she was in her sister's room, and the second half of the night directly jumped over a window sill to her sister's room." Rumors. Anyway, in private, the people of Mastar have already given this princess a nickname that cannot be regarded as praise - "The Enchantress of Different Pupils".

Lan Feng was naturally surprised that there was such a thing in the world, and on the other hand, he also felt that Fiore might be one of the few loyal friends of that princess.

The next day, Viscount Lippi, the head of the court, saw Princess Theodora get up early this morning and freshen up, and then went to the special martial arts training ground for the royal family with her sword for practice. This made him feel a little strange, because according to the daily situation, April 8 should not be the day when Princess Theodora practiced swordsmanship diligently. It is likely that she will still be in the bed of a young lady in the early hours of the morning, but if the princess is able to return to the palace before breakfast, Viscount Lippi will be able to explain to Her Majesty.

Princess Theodora is gifted in swordsmanship, and many of the instructors who have taught her think so, as she is quick to react and explosive. Even if she is not a diligent practitioner, there are still a few of her peers who can surpass her. Among the younger generation of nobles, I am afraid that only the eldest prince of the Lance family is sure to defeat this princess.

The one who was brought in as a sparring partner today happened to be the eldest son of the Lance family - Michelle. Reims. This is a brilliant young man, already the captain of the Praetorian Guard at a young age. His father is the Earl of Reims, Saud, who we all know as commander of the Northern Army, and the brother of Lady Cosette of Redneck.

"Michelle, you're a little absent-minded today." The princess said with a smile, stabbing her sword neatly.

"Your Highness, pay attention to defense, don't patronize the offense." After Michelle blocked, he immediately counterattacked. It suddenly occurred to him that the princess should have been talking about love with a certain girl in her arms a few hours ago, and he always felt that it was a very strange thing to practice with her now.

"Well, after breakfast, Fiona will come to visit me, and I'll hug and kiss her when the time comes." Theodora said in an ambiguous tone with a hint of suggestiveness.

"Your Highness, look at the move!" Michelle suddenly accelerated the offensive.

"Wow, I'm angry, that's interesting." Theodora fended off the opponent's attack unhurriedly.

Theodora has beautiful long dark blonde hair, but she has long bangs on the right side of her forehead, almost covering the entire right half of her face, and naturally her right eye is always hidden behind a metallic sheen of hair. The left side of her face alone would have deduced how beautiful her whole face must have been. Her mother has always retained the title of "the first beauty in the continent", but Theodora's appearance is still very different from Sigrani's.

Michelle has been facing such a charming face for many years, but she has never had any admiration. Because the Earl's son knew very well how bad the character of the face master was, he often wondered what would happen if Her Royal Highness the Princess were like an ordinary noble lady, only to find that his rather nimble brain could easily become like a pot of porridge that had been left out for two weeks.

"That's it for today." The princess gasped and ordered, beads of sweat already sliding down her smooth forehead and hanging on her long eyelashes.

"So, I'm going to take my leave." Michelle withdrew her sword, owed a debt to the princess, and left the driving range.

"Your Highness, are you going to dine alone or with Your Majesty?" Although Viscount Lippi felt that the princess's arrangement of her itinerary today was a little strange, she still stepped forward and asked.

"I'll dine with the Mother, please prepare cutlery for me." The princess replied after wiping her sweat.

"Okay, I'll tell them to do it." The court chief felt more and more weird.

Theodora went back to her room, took off her sweat-soaked clothes, and tossed them aside. The maids knew her habits and would come in and clean up in a moment. Viscount Lippi had long ordered the princess to prepare warm bath water, and although Theodora had a good constitution that could bathe in cold water even in winter, we all knew that a hot bath after exercise was better able to take away the discomfort left by sweat on the skin.

Nearly half an hour later, the princess got up from the bathtub and put on the dress of a lady. She never needed a maid to serve, or Viscount Lippi did not dare to send someone to her for fear that even a maid would be "poisoned" by him. Young girls serving in the court often spoke of the princess, but they rarely had the opportunity to face her directly.

Theodora finished dressing and walked out of her room, and around the corner she was keenly aware of a figure. The other party knew that he couldn't hide her eyes, so he took the initiative to walk out a little shyly. It was a growing boy, already slightly taller than Theodora, but that didn't seem to give him more courage to face Theodora.

"Good morning, Imperial Sister," the boy greeted her, "and you're back early today." ”

"Good morning, my dear brother." Theodora smiled and narrowed the distance between the prince, then grabbed him by the collar and whispered in his ear, "Lehman, remember to knock on the door the next time you enter my room, especially when I am taking a shower." I know you're old enough to be interested in certain things, but remember to act in moderation, or I wouldn't mind telling my mother what you're thinking about right now! ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Mastar was so frightened by his sister that he didn't dare to squeak in a panic. Theodora quickly let go of him, still smiling and straightening his own crumpled collar like a gentle and graceful ordinary sister. Then, he patted his brother on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the restaurant first. The crown prince followed her with his head drooped, somewhat unsure why he had been discovered.

Empress Sigrani, the ruler of the Mastar Empire, has been waiting for her children in the dining room, and the years have left little trace on her, making it impossible to believe that this empress is the most diligent monarch Mastar has ever seen. If it weren't for the closeness, no one would have been able to notice the few subtle wrinkles in the corners of the Empress's eyes. Of course, there is an element of natural beauty, but Sigrani is not unconcerned about taking care of her appearance. On the contrary, the empress spends no less attention in this regard than in state affairs, in order to maintain the delicate and firm skin; In order to maintain the proportionate and plump figure, Sigrani has made many efforts. Of course, as a rare wise monarch, Sigrani naturally understands where the bottom line lies in the pursuit of rejuvenation skills. Sensationalism, like bathing in the blood of a virgin to preserve youth, will definitely not be accepted and tolerated by her. In fact, it may be that young, athletic men are better for maintaining the youthful beauty of women, at least the Queen Mother of Efini is convinced.

The royal breakfast was not a luxury, fresh milk with special sausages, cheese, butter bread was enough. Breakfast is just a time for family members to mingle, and Sigrani doesn't bring work into it.

"Lately, you'd better be able to stay at home all the time, and soon it's your birthday ball." Sigrani, of course, said this to her daughter.

"I see, is just riding a horse and practicing martial arts considered to be safe?" Theodora nonchalantly tore at the bread.

"That's best," said Sigrani, who took a small slice of sausage into her small mouth with a fork, "you should have known that Miss Hayes would come to visit you later, and entertain the guests, and you hadn't seen each other for a long time." Inform the court master if you need anything, and he will do his best to accommodate you. If you're still in the palace at tea time, I'll probably take the time to visit you. I haven't seen Fiona's kid in a long time. ”

"Mother, can I stay with the imperial sister today?" The crown prince asked.

"In the morning, you should continue to act according to your daily schedule, and in the afternoon, give you half a day off." Sigrani said.

"Great." Lehman happily went to deal with the sausage on his plate.

"Theodora ......"

"What's the matter, Mother?" Theodora flashed her left eye.

"Perhaps, we should find some time to talk recently." Sigrani said, bowing her head.

"Whatever you want, I'm always free."
