"Where is the old duke?" Juana finally returned to Sintra, and the first thing she did when she entered the city was to meet the old duke immediately. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hmm, Your Highness. General Armitage's eyes straightened, he couldn't believe why Her Royal Highness appeared in the Duke's Castle, shouldn't Her Royal Highness be patrolling the countryside?

General Armitage saluted Juana despite his doubts, his expression solemn, as if he was holding back something.

"What about the nobles of the city?, the envoy of the Reims Empire, the Grand Duke of Burgundy?" Juana asked one after the other like pouring beans, something must have happened during her absence, Juana could feel it. Everyone she met was in a hurry, and everyone had nervousness written on their faces.

"Returning to Your Highness, the nobles of the city have now been imprisoned, and the envoy of the Reims Empire, the Grand Duke of Burgundy, has left Sintra. General Armitage's voice was slightly lower, he hadn't really rested for days, the old duke was not there, and everything in the city was under his and Bondakov's chief of the general staff.

'Yes, and the Chief of the General Staff, look at this brain of mine. Juana complained about her brain, but she didn't know that Bondakov was always easy to overlook, that he was like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, and by the time you actually noticed him, it was 'too late'.

But this is for the enemy, for Juana it is still a very timely thing for her to go to the chief of the General Staff, Bondakov, as if it was deliberate, Bondakov will always give people a strange feeling that his presence is very thin, obviously he is there, but you will feel that he is 'not there'.

"Your Highness. Bondakov stood up and saluted, and he first put aside the important documents on the table, which in his eyes were no more important than the royal highness in front of him.

At the signal of the Chief of the General Staff, the two attendants quietly retreated. Now there are only three people left in the room, Juana, Bondakov, and finally the big General Armitage, and Yu Chen left after accompanying His Royal Highness to meet General Armitage, and he still has some personal matters to deal with.

Now that there were no outsiders, Bondakov could finally speak, and for some reason Armitage felt a nervousness, his palms sweating unconsciously. That's Bondakov's 'momentum', that's the catharsis of his emotions.

The Chief of the General Staff rarely had such a 'gaffe', and just now he didn't even control his emotions.

Bondakov's heart was very angry, to be precise, it should be particularly angry, because of the willfulness of Her Royal Highness, how many good hands the Northern Army had lost, and because of the willfulness of Her Royal Highness, the situation in the city became more and more out of control. (In the absence of the princess, rumors spread in the city, and the nobles had their own ghosts, and even launched a rebellion.) Just because of this little girl's 'selfish' decision, how many people have lost their young and precious lives forever, Her Royal Highness is playing with the fate of the kingdom!

"Your Highness, do you know what you have done?" said Bondakov in a serious voice, although he was angry, but he knew that His Highness Juana was just a little girl after all, and that the 'irresponsible' adults like himself had put too much pressure on Her Royal Highness, and that pressure would crush her small body if it was too great.

"I know. Juana bit her lip and said word by word.

Juana's heart hurts, her heart hurts more than anyone else, this is her father's kingdom, this is her kingdom, how can she not be moved to see those who have sacrificed for themselves (and their uncle) without hesitation.

Juana touched her heart, she clutched her chest hard, she really wanted to take out her heart to make amends for the sacrificed warriors, but she couldn't, if she did, more people would become ascetic crosses in the central square.

Looking at the painful expression of Her Royal Highness, General Armitage, who was not good at words, was moved, it was just a fifteen-year-old girl, what could they force her to do?

General Armitage was ashamed, he had a stomach full of doubts about Her Royal Highness, but at this moment he deeply felt his 'incompetence'.

'Your Highness is already like this, and what can you do?' General Armitage slammed on the door angrily.

"I know exactly what I have done, because of my willfulness, because I shed too much unnecessary blood, because of my selfishness, because of my selfishness, the whole city is buried for me!" Juana's voice changed from low to high, she remembered the scene of her uncle's beheading, she remembered the ascetic crosses in the central square.

"The people of the city?" Bondakov lifted his monocle, not understanding what Her Royal Highness was saying.

"A feast for crows..."Juana told Bondakov and General Armitage about her and Yu Chen's time in the royal capital, and Her Royal Highness was very 'generous' in blaming herself for everything, describing herself as a "sinner" of the people.

"Your Highness, it's not your fault, it's the old courtiers' fault!" Bondakov was shocked by the atrocities of Prince Aldrich, and at the same time he admired the courage of His Royal Highness to take responsibility, which made the Chief of the General Staff see 'hope' again.

Bondakov and General Armitage knelt on one knee, they knelt down on a princess who dared to take responsibility, and they knelt on their own conscience.

"Will you give me another chance?" Juana held out her left and right hands to the two kneeling men.

"Swear allegiance to Your Majesty!"

"The old minister is willing to share his worries for His Majesty. ”

Both Armitage and Bondakov saw a different royal highness, Princess Juana, who had grown up.

Bondakov gently kissed Her Royal Highness's right hand, and he swore allegiance to Her Royal Highness. General Armitage, who was known for his rudeness, did the same, he gently kissed Her Royal Highness's left hand, and he also made his own vows to Her Royal Highness.

This is completely different from the oath taken on the night of the mutiny, when they were knights of Her Royal Highness, and today, Her Royal Highness is their Majesty.

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen will recall the Duke now. Bondakov looked at Juana, who was waiting for His Majesty's message.

"Count Ourense, Sintra pleases you. Juana gave Bondakov a grateful look, she thanked Bondakov, she thanked Armitage, and Her Royal Highness thanked the two of them for being willing to give her a chance to 'atone'.

Her Royal Highness turned around, and she said to General Armitage behind her, "Viscount Lesa, please take me to the prison to see those disobedient nobles." ”

"Viscount Lesa? Who is that?" Armitage was a little stunned, and after a few seconds he realized that Viscount Lesa was himself! So after being stunned for a few seconds, Armitage hurriedly ran to the side of His Royal Highness to guide him, for Juana, Armitage was obviously more respectful than before, because from this moment on Juana was no longer his Royal Highness, from a moment on Juana was his Majesty.

I believe that it is the same for Bondakov, until this moment he really recognized His Royal Highness Juana from the bottom of his heart, and from this moment on, Juana was already His Majesty in his heart.

The blue-eyed cat-eared sister wiped the furniture over and over again, she really wanted to give the owner a clean home, and suddenly her ears pricked up, and she heard a familiar footsteps!

"Sister, sister is the master's voice!meow!" Xia Nai shook her sister's hand excitedly.

Compared with the excited sister, the green-eyed cat-eared sister was both excited and uneasy, she didn't know how to explain to her master, she was afraid that her master would not want her if she told the truth.

Xana bit her lip, she was scared, and her cat ears drooped.

"Meow!The master is back, Meow!Xia Nai wants to kill the master!Meow!" When Yu Chen opened the door, the blue-eyed cat-eared sister threw herself into Yu Chen's arms.

"Xia Nai is a very good master, meow! Xia Nai and her sister have been waiting for the master's meow!"

"Well, the master misses you too. Yu Chen touched Xia Nai's head, looking at the two cat-eared sisters waiting for him in the room, Yu Chen really found a feeling of 'home'.

"Come, Xiana, let the master hug. Yu Chen looked at the lost Xia Na and thought that she was complaining about her 'partiality', but before she knew it, Yu Chen had changed the title of 'I' to the master, he seemed to have adapted to this kind of life, and the two sisters had become a part of Yu Chen's life unconsciously.

Xia Na's eyes dodged, she didn't dare to look at her master, and even the hug seemed so stiff.

Xia Nai gently touched her sister with her finger, she was encouraging her sister with her eyes, Xia Nai believed that as long as her sister admitted her mistakes, the master would definitely forgive her.

Yu Chen also felt something abnormal, even if the original Xia Na didn't have her sister Huobo, she would never be as restrained as she is now.

"What's wrong? Xana, are you having a bad time here?"

"Or is someone bullying you?" Yu Chen looked at Xia Na's big eyes, and he took up Sister Mao's little hand.

"No one is bullying, meow! it's good to live here, meow!" Xana still kept her head down, her voice getting quieter.

"Is that homesickness?" Yu Chen touched his chin, he had no home since he was a child, so he didn't quite understand what it was like to be homesick.

"No, no, the master's home is our family meow. ”

"No, the master's home is the master's home, we, we are—" Xana became incoherent in a hurry, her big eyes already glistening with tears.

"Master, meow. If we did something wrong, would you not want us?" Xia Nai tugged at the corner of Yu Chen's clothes.

"If you have done anything wrong, tell your master, and he will punish you according to the situation. Yu Chen said with a smile, it was just a little joke he made, but Yu Chen's little joke made Xia Na's body tremble a little.

Yu Chen's hand pinched Xia Nai's face slightly.

"If I do something wrong, I'm going to spank my ass. ”

Xia Na looked at her master and she burst into tears, it was an indescribable feeling, and she buried her head deep in Yu Chen's chest.

"Master, meow. I..."The green-eyed cat-eared sister finally made up her mind to tell her master the truth, even if it was really punished, she was willing.

――――――

Several cities in the south have returned to the kingdom with lightning speed, and the army led by Aldrich's sharp knife and Belinda the Red Rose has left for the south.

Several attendants shivered in the lavishly decorated hall, and their hosts were so angry that three of them had already been hanged for angering their masters.

"Isn't there accurate information that Red Rose has lost the trust of the 'puppet king', shouldn't she be in the north to suppress bandits?!"

The map in front of the young man was burned in a fit of rage, and a soldier who had come to report the news had his head cut off for anger.

"Second Highness, we must leave quickly. A calm voice sounded, and when the second prince was angry, only the great nobles of the south, Count Gernas, dared to interject.
