Chapter Twenty-Six: On the Way Back

"Report to Your Excellency, the other party has given up the tracking and returned the same way. ”

"Good. ”

Yuren nodded, then looked at Ofariel beside him.

"It's exactly what you guessed, isn't it?"

"Of course........."

O'Faryl reached out and pressed her forehead and whispered helplessly.

"trespassing on other people's territory, playing hide and seek with the royal army, and even looting the stolen goods of those bandits......... By grace, I've never done anything like this. ”

"If you have one, you have two, just get used to it. ”

In contrast to Ofariel's complaints, Yulian patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.

"Sooner or later, you have to get used to it. ”

That is, there will be such a thing in the future?

O'Faryl glanced at Yu Lian helplessly, although she has indeed let go of her status as a princess now, but the education she received in the palace has not been put down, in O'Fariel's opinion, everything must have rules, and doing it according to certain rules is the right way. And what Yuren did......... Well, although it is not a crime to kill a thief and steal treasure, there is no rule in the kingdom code that restricts this. But Her Royal Highness the princess always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, of course, this was just a little personal opinion of hers, and for now, these personal opinions were completely ignored by Yu Lian.

Aside from O'Faryl's own slight depression, the whole operation seemed perfect to Yuren, and after absorbing the soul power of hundreds of bandits, the spirit warriors had broken away from their original "spirit" form and began to move towards the "entity" The direction has changed, and now, except for Judy who is the captain, the remaining nine spirit warriors have also regained the strength of the middle and upper ranks, of course, because their castes are different, in the process of truly turning into entities, there will definitely be such and such gaps and speed problems, but now for Yu Lian, this result is good enough.

In terms of money, in addition to the property of the bandits they had looted before, Daros also gave Yulian a considerable surprise, it seems that saving private money is the common surname of men in the world, in that wooden box, there are not only all kinds of evidence of his collusion with the nobles, but also dozens of valuable gems, according to O'Fariel's calculations, if these gems are put on the market for auction, then twenty or thirty thousand gold coins should not be able to escape, these money is enough to maintain the operation of Twilight Castle until he has a stable and "legal" income.

Thinking of this, Julien raised his head to look at the starry sky not far away, and in his ears, the sound of the campfire burning mixed with the sound of the wind, and finally he turned around, only to find that Offariel had not left, but was still standing quietly beside him.

"Anything else?"

"Of course, sir. ”

In the face of Yuren's inquiry, Offariel was a little shy, she raised her head a little uneasily, and then hesitated to make her request.

"I want to ......... Please teach me something about combat. ”

"About the battle?"

Hearing this, Yu Lian was stunned for a moment.

"How much do you know about this?"

"I'm ashamed to say ........."

Hearing Yuren's inquiry, Ofariel showed a wry smile.

"I am no different from ordinary royal nobles in this knowledge. ”

"It doesn't seem to match who you are. ”

Yulian's face remained unchanged, but he easily pointed out the loopholes in O'Faryl's words. If other people said this in front of him, then Yulian might really believe it, but the girl in front of him was different, she was once known as the genius of the Westster Kingdom and enjoyed the reputation of the first princess, not those little flowers who hid in the palace greenhouse and lived in fantasy tales of Prince Charming and Cinderella until adulthood.

"I can't learn. ”

However, in the face of Yuren's inquiry, Ofariel shook his head bitterly.

"In fact, I'm only half royal. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Yuren became interested, he looked at Ofariel carefully, and then patted the grass beside him.

"Tell me about it?"

Offariel hesitated for a moment in response to Julien's invitation, then she straightened her skirt, crossed her legs, and sat down beside Julien. Then, start telling your story.

This is definitely not a glorious story for Ofaril or for the Kingdom of West.

Offariel's mother was not a princess, nor was she a side chamber, she was just an ordinary female official. The family had always worked exclusively for the Westster Palace, and if nothing else, her mother should have done the same, serving the royal family, then getting married, having children, and having her children work in the palace, and so on.

However, her fate changed.

It was when the previous king was thirty-five years old, and he won the battle on the day of his birth, and drove with his own hands the barbarians of Evak, who had flaunted their might in the kingdom, back to their hometown, and the double joy of the victory made the king drink a few more glasses of joy, and then Ofariel's mother, together with another female officer, sent the king back to his room to rest, of course, even the king was only a man, and it was inevitable that he would be drunk and confused. So on that night, O'Fariel's mother and another female official were robbed of their first time by His Majesty the King--which may sound pitiful, but for the people of the royal family, those who served them should have this obligation in the first place, and in many cases these female officials were only given as gifts to the king's son or subordinates as a reward, so that the night passed, and everyone should have done what they should have done, and the female officer did not react to this, and the king did not care who had been lying in his bed last night.

But then, Ofaril's mother became pregnant and gave birth to Ofariel - and that's when the problem was bigger.

If it were an ordinary child, it would probably be mixed up, but the problem is that O'Faryl has indisputable royal characteristics - the violet hair and blue eyes are the most obvious symbol of royal blood, and there is no other semicolon.

At the time, it was a disgrace to the royal family, and as was customary, Ofariel should have been thrown into a lake and drowned, and then destroyed. But at that time, West IV did not do this, this man was forty years old at the time, but he did not have an heir, and now he suddenly got such a daughter, naturally overjoyed, and then, despite the opposition of everyone around him, he married Ofariel's mother into the palace as a side room, and gave Ofariel the royal surname "West", and in this way, a family of female officials, suddenly became a member of the royal family.

This almost ridiculous ascension naturally aroused the jealousy of other people, especially the side chambers and concubines who did not give birth to children for the king, and they did not have a good look at the side chambers of this "female official". Most marriages between countries are political marriages, and because of this, these concubines are basically princesses, daughters of nobles, etc., compared with them, a female official who serves them is indeed much lower in status.

And such a lowly person actually has the right to sit on an equal footing with them now?

Because of this, Ofaril grew up watching her mother being sarcastically ridiculed and ridiculed by the concubines at banquets, who blatantly despised her bloodline, her origin, her upbringing, and even her daughter. This made Ofaril's mother very helpless, after all, she was only a female official, she could not handle the interpersonal interactions within the court, and she could only swallow her anger in the face of these vicious ridicules, and then Ofariel vowed to protect her mother. And she did just that.

She assiduously studied books on politics, history, economics and other aspects, absorbed all kinds of knowledge, relied on her own efforts and ingenuity, and gradually became a famous flower in the kingdom of West, and many of the political ideas and ideas she put forward were not only recognized by commoners, nobles, and even kings, and in this environment, her mother finally no longer needed to live a humiliating life like before, and lived a peaceful life again.

Although she shines in many ways, Her Royal Highness knows very well that there are some things that she must never touch.

For example, military, such as combat.

Of course, it is not strange for women to learn martial arts, in the kingdom, many noble ladies from military backgrounds have been learning combat skills since childhood, but Ofariel's identity is different, she is a princess.

Even if she has intelligence, if she doesn't learn martial arts, it will still reassure many people, but what if such a talented and prestigious princess begins to learn combat skills and military strategy?

What does this mean?

O'Faryl herself knew very well that the reason why she was able to live a peaceful life at the moment was precisely because of this, first of all, she was only half of the royal blood after all, and unless West IV had only one daughter in his life, the throne would not be her turn to worry about. Especially after the birth of the first prince and the second princess later, this possible surname has become almost zero. And in this case, if she learns how to fight and command an army, then in the eyes of others, it will be more than just "a princess with outstanding political talents".

“............ So, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't. ”

In the end, O'Faryl wrapped her legs around and ended the story with such a sentence. Her eyes were lowered to the ground, as if she had remembered the past.

Yuren didn't have any special reaction to this story, he stared at Ofaryl for a moment, and then asked.

"Why are you telling me now?"

"Because I can feel that you're testing me all the way, my lord. ”

In the face of Yuren's inquiry, the corners of Ofaril's mouth turned up slightly, and at the same time combed his long hair.

"Anyway, I don't plan to hide it, so I just confess it to you, so as not to be always worried about it. ”

Hearing O'Faryl's almost complaining words, Yuren didn't show an embarrassed look, but just shrugged his shoulders, in fact, O'Faryl was right.

As early as when he first made a deal with this princess, Yulian was very suspicious of the cause of the other party's death, a princess with outstanding talents and murdered, naturally did not rule out the possibility of being murdered because of excessive ambition. Especially in memory, this princess has the support of both the people and the nobility, and if she works a little harder to get the army in her hands, then this queen is unshakable.

Because of this, in order to observe Her Royal Highness the princess and better understand her, You Lian took her to participate in this operation, wanting to see any clues from it. Later, he found that although Her Royal Highness the princess was usually very smart, she became like an ordinary person in combat and military affairs, just like when she talked to Judy about the comparison of the strength of high-level swordsmen, the degree was simply no different from that of ordinary people.

This is obviously not normal.

And now, Offariel's narration has also dispelled many doubts in Yulian's heart, if things are really according to what she said, then Her Royal Highness the princess obviously has no intention of seizing power at all, after all, it is impossible to get the support of the military forces without a certain amount of military knowledge. And judging from the almost zero knowledge capacity of Her Royal Highness the princess in front of her, she is indeed restrained and does not allow herself to learn this kind of thing.

But now, why does she want to study again?

"Because I'm your adjutant. ”

Ofariel looked up, her blue eyes unwavering.

"The reason why you brought me out this time is not only to test me, but also to tell me that I will always live like this in the future. As it stands, it is clear that my knowledge is not enough to help you in this regard, so I hope to learn from you............ Any questions?"

"That's a good answer, plus 10 points. ”

In the face of Offariel's answer, Yuren nodded in satisfaction and stood up to look at the girl in front of him, but then he spread his hands.

"Unfortunately, I can't teach you how to fight. ”

His answer was equally sincere.
