Chapter 63: Wooing
The territory of the Empire of St. John was vast, and its mainland alone was more than twenty times larger than that of the Duchy of Morowing, so that although Governor Greco traveled in a luxurious and brisk four-seated carriage, his debriefing journey took him half a month. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the past half a month, he actually stayed in the imperial capital of Baitan Holy City for only two days, and the remaining ten days were all on the way back and forth.
When he returned to the Habsburg Governor's Palace, he felt that the bones of his whole body were about to fall apart after days of turbulence.
However, before she could catch her breath, Princess Talis, who had been waiting for many days, came to the door again.
Greco had to drag his heavy and tired body to meet with Princess Dalyse and tell her everything he had learned about his trip to the imperial capital.
Princess Dalis remained silent after hearing this, her brows furrowed slightly. The news of this imperial capital can be described as mixed for her.
Although the Empire pledged not to intervene in the Morovingian Civil War, it did not recognize the legitimacy of the Morovingian royal family. And from the description of Governor Greco, it is not difficult to see that the cold-blooded and cruel and powerful Marshal Rocherio admired Archduke Odinand very much.
In this way, even if he could rely on the support of the Bloods to conquer the Habsburgs, then Odinan could go into exile in the empire at the last moment. And the empire was willing to stand up and thin the mud at that time, on the one hand, recognizing the Morowingian royal family, and on the other hand, providing political asylum to Odinand.
And Audi Antarctica is good at using soldiers, and has the secret support of the imperial military, as long as he is alive, the rule of the royal family will be greatly threatened.
So, Odinan must die!
Thinking of this, Dai Lisi's pretty eyes burst out with a cold light.
"Your Royal Highness, on the way back to Habsburg, I received the news that in order to deal with the affairs of the Duchy, the Grand Duke of Odinand will soon return to the Habsburgs from the city of Bilodge. Greco revealed the news to her intentionally or unintentionally, and said casually: "At present, the situation in Morowing is unstable, and there are many bandit gangs near the royal capital, which is not very peaceful......"
Dai Lisi's eyes lit up, and she laughed out loud, "It seems that Odinan came back at an inopportune time, thank you Lord Governor for reminding ......"
Greco squinted his eyes at Princess Talis, who was looking forward to her life, and said with a smile: "The Empire cannot intervene in the civil war in Morowing, but if the current monarch Odinan has an accident, the Empire will have to recognize Her Royal Highness the only princess who is qualified to be the monarch." ”
"That's nature, my dear Governor. "It's just that the turmoil in Morowing has produced a large number of war orphans, and if the Governor does not dislike it, he may adopt more." ”
"Of course, of course!" said Greco, laughing heartily, his fat body trembling with joy, and the fatigue of days of jolting seemed to disappear, "What a pity it is for the children of your country to be lonely and sensible and obedient......
The next evening, Talis returned to the hotel in the city, and her face was full of joy that could not be concealed.
After dinner, Marven was wandering boredly at the door of the inn when one of the princess's attendants came running and summoned him to his room.
Marven felt uncomfortable at the thought of having to spend time with the princess who was like a femme fatale, and he followed the attendant and reluctantly entered the door of the hotel.
After entering the dimly lit room, he saw Princess Talis sitting by the candlestick, and the other two attendants were all standing beside Her Royal Highness, with a thin sword at her waist, and her face was tense, as if she was facing a great enemy.
"Your Highness, Your Excellency the Mage has brought it here. Marven, the attendant in front, led to Talis, and then bowed down and retreated to the corner.
"It seems that something big has happened...... Marven frowned, and his eyes scanned the entire room quietly, and found that in addition to the princess and several of her attendants, there were several unfamiliar faces in this room. Their faces weren't very real, their bodies were shrouded in black cloaks, they didn't move, and if it weren't for the slight breathing sound coming from their chests, Marven would almost have thought they were sculptures.
"Your Excellency Mage has been guarding me all this time, and you have been working hard day after day. Princess Talis looked at Marven and smiled charmingly in the candlelight.
"Your Highness is polite, I don't know if you are urgently summoned at this time, what do you need my service for?" Marven bowed to Her Royal Highness the princess with a graceful manner, but the eyes of the corners of his eyes inadvertently swept over her, stopping at the strangers in black cloaks behind.
"Martial artist?" he muttered to himself in his heart, and from those few people, he vaguely sensed signs of fighting qi.
"Mr. Rickon is really refreshing......" Dressis smiled and raised her wrist, took out a delicate wooden box, and opened it, revealing a bottle of pale cyan potion.
"High-grade potion ---- fountain of magic power!" Obviously sensing the fluctuations of the magic elements emitted by the potion, Marven was secretly surprised in his heart.
The Fountain of Mana is a high-grade potion that can quickly restore mana, which is almost a must-have for high-level magicians in battle, and the price is extremely expensive, and this Princess Dalyse is so generous to herself, I am afraid that she has other plans.
"Mr. Ricken, I have received news that Odinan will soon leave the city of Bilodge and go to the Habsburgs, there is a good opportunity to ambush him on the way, I hope Sir can help me, this magic crystal calculates your hard work for many days, if you succeed in killing Odinan's puppet, the royal family will definitely have another thanks......" Talis said in a kind tone the reason for inviting him to come.
"Assassinate Odinan?" Marven was overjoyed in his heart, he had long planned to hand over the blood clan's defense map to Odinan, but there was no suitable way, Dai Lisiju told him Odinan's whereabouts and asked him to participate in their assassination operation, which was really a godsend for Marven.
"Looking for me to help assassinate you, you've really found the right person!" Marven said secretly in his heart, although he was overjoyed in his heart at this time, his face was silent, showing a reluctant expression, "But Your Royal Highness Princess, it is my duty to protect your safety here, if you have any mistakes, I can't explain it to Lord Orrenville, assassination is still ......" Marven shrugged his shoulders and looked embarrassed, "Besides, I am only loyal to Lord Orrenville, and without his orders, it is inconvenient to act on my own." ”
"Mr. Rickon, don't forget, Odinan is the common enemy of the royal family and the blood clan, as long as Odinan does not die, he is only afraid of the blood clan, and you Xia people who have taken refuge in the blood clan, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a foothold in the territory of Morowing. Talis chuckled and waved her hand, and the attendant placed the box containing the Fountain of Magic in front of Marven, "I hope Mr. Rickon can think about it more, if you can successfully help us assassinate Odinand, not only will the royal family be grateful to you, but also the blood clan to whom you are loyal will also be a great achievement." Princess Talis smiled skillfully, and her words were full of temptation.
"This ......" Marven pretended to be hesitant, but in his heart he planned to participate in Princess Dalys's assassination plan and secretly sabotage it. It's just that in order not to make the princess suspicious at that time, he doesn't want to readily agree now.
"Mr. Ricken, rest assured, as long as you agree to participate in the assassination, whether it succeeds or not, our royal family will not treat you badly. Seeing that he seemed to have wavered, Princess Dalis got up and took out a gold-encrusted box from the cabinet behind her, placed it in front of Marven herself, and then opened it.
"Magic crystal nucleus!" Marven's pupils shrank, and his breathing stagnated, this kind of thing can store powerful magic power, it is an indispensable material for building high-level staffs, it has always been a favorite of magicians, and it is often priceless.
Marven calmed his mind slightly, this magic crystal nucleus emitted a faint blue light, it was the size of a goose egg, a full circle larger than the one on his wand, this Princess Dalyse was really willing to sacrifice her blood for Odinan's life.
Marven finally showed a happy look, bowed down and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is very reasonable, since Odinan is our common enemy, we should work together to kill him!"
"Mr. Rickon is really a smart man, he can understand a little, and he really deserves to be the most talented young man in our Morowing!" Dai Lisi seriously showed a hint of pride, and she deliberately accentuated the three words "Morowing".
Marven respectfully took the magic crystal nucleus, and it could be seen that Princess Na Dai Li intended to win herself over, and at this time she showed a vague and ambiguous attitude, which could bring a lot of benefits to herself.
Seeing Marven accept the gift, the smile in her eyes became even stronger, and after saying a lot of words of encouragement and compliment, she called the few people wearing black cloaks behind her to the front, "Mr. Ricken, these are the strongest assassins in our Morowing, I hope you can sincerely cooperate and kill the traitor Odinan together!"
"You will not be disappointed, Your Royal Highness. Marven stroked his chest, but the corners of his mouth flashed a sneer.
"Your Highness the Princess, rest assured, with the help of this powerful mage, we will definitely be able to take down the traitor's head!" one of the burliest assassins bowed deeply to the princess, his words full of confidence.
