Time flies. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info blink of an eye, the theoretical winter is about to end. It's just because of the special geographical location of the Luhe Highlands, with an average altitude of nearly 1,000 meters, so at this time, whether it is inside or outside the city, the white snow still keeps falling.

Cecilia was in a good mood for a while, because firstly, she had finally learned how to use fireballs, and secondly, because Tours was so intrigued that since they had been married, they had hardly ever entered their new house.

Magic, and life after marriage. These two problems used to be Cecilia's worst fear, but now they have been perfectly solved. At this time in the castle library, Cecilia was lying on the floor leisurely and comfortably, flipping through the books in the library, and on her right hand, there was a cup of hot milk tea.

"It is said that a thousand years ago, on the snowfields north of the Luhe Highlands, there were green-skinned orcs. Cecilia read according to the book, "They are so cruel and bloodthirsty that even children and women will not spare them. The greenskins did exist, for I (the author of this book) had seen them with my own eyes, and I had fought them. Their strength is as great as a yak, and without ten soldiers, it is simply impossible to parry, and often some of the soldiers, my subordinates, are smashed into meat sauce by their iron rods without even raising their shields. ”

"So there really are orcs in this world!" Cecilia was a little excited. Soon, however, Chloe and Ruby interrupted Cecilia's interest.

"Princess, the one you read is a novel. Ruby looked like she had been defeated by their princess, who was so easy to deceive.

"Novels are just things that bards made up and wrote. Chloe also said.

"Yes, yes?" Cecilia said.

"Princess, you don't want to think about it, if this was more than a thousand years ago, would this book still be preserved to this day? "Ruby.

"Judging by the preservation of this book, it should have only been published in the last few years. "Chloe.

"Uh......" Cecilia sometimes can't help but wonder why these two people can't stop talking, it's really 'dedicated'. Professionalism discouraged her. But soon, Cecilia continued to look down with interest, after all, the novels of this world are still worth looking forward to. That's it, about half an hour after watching it. The sky outside seemed to gradually become gloomy. Immediately afterwards, it seemed that people's mood became a little depressed for a while.

Outside the library, there was a sudden sound of hurried and messy footsteps.

"Mr. Butler, why are you here!?...... you came," Cecilia didn't seem to know what was going on outside, and her face still had the same excitement as she had read about orcs before.

However...... Charles Carson's face showed a look of grief. For the first time, he interrupted Cecilia very impolitely, and said slowly, "Princess, the king, he ...... Crashed. ”

After listening to Charles Carson's words, Cecilia was also stunned.

※※※

In the old king's bedchamber, all the maids knelt on the ground.

Unexpectedly, the words of the imperial doctor still worked. 'There is a good chance that the old king will not survive this winter', and now, ten days, less than two weeks, is left before the theoretical end of winter.

"Have you informed Your Highness the Prince?" said Cecilia, as she came to the old king's bed, and asked Charles Carson.

Charles Carson still had a sad look on his face, "I have sent a fast horse to inform His Royal Highness the Prince as soon as possible, and I will probably be able to rush back tonight." ”

The Lamont Imperial Physician was also in the old king's bedroom at this time, and the Lamont Imperial Physician was obviously powerless about the old king's death.

"The princess should not be too sad, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature. It would be worse if he was too sad and hurt himself, and the old king certainly didn't want to see that happen. ”

Cecilia heard Lamont's words...... Although Cecilia had no relationship with the old king, remembering the first day they met, the old king was quite kind to her. The first time they met, Cecilia felt that the old king was amiable. Moreover, not long ago, the old king was lying on the hospital bed, and he specially told the housekeeper Charles Carson to take good care of her, and specially asked her if she was used to being here, if she needed anything, and if so, she must mention it to Charles Carson. However, I didn't expect it......

"Alas. Cecilia sighed silently in her heart, perhaps as the royal doctor Lamont said - birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature.

At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Tours finally came back. Before the snowflakes could shake off, Tours strode to his father's bed. Cecilia and Murray nodded to each other, and then the whole room was dead silent until a long time......

"Did my father tell me anything before he died?" asked Tours.

"Everything the king wants to say is already written in the will. Charles Carson said.

As soon as Tours stretched out his hand, Charles Carson presented the will with both hands.

Soon, Tours read the contents of the will: This morning, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and my mind was a little less clear, and in a daze, I could only hear who seemed to be talking. I used to make a lot of mistakes in the army, and I often vented my anger on the soldiers below, Tours, you must not learn from me. The country of Galella is now in turmoil, internal and external troubles, Murray is a good boy, his father and your father have been good playmates since childhood, Murray inherited their family's wisdom, and even surpassed, along with the martial arts Boeling Bullock, is definitely your right-hand man in the future. It's just a pity that I can't see the day my grandson is born. Cecilia is also a good boy, Murray has told me about her, and after listening to Murray's words, I also think that she is definitely the best candidate to be a princess. Although she has some flaws, you must not treat her badly, but take good care of her, because she will inevitably become your helper. What else do I want to say...... By the way, your sister's business...... My funeral should be cleaned up casually, and not wasted money and food in the treasury. And, finally, Tours, you must remember this, and even tell the next king, that those who lead the army at the border must not let them leave the place where they are stationed, especially in the north.

Tours read the will word for word—the old king died, and the new king was crowned.
