Yu Chen slowly opened his eyes, and the morning sun had already shone into the room through the window. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He tiptoed to get dressed, and Yu Chen wanted Xia Na and Xia Na to sleep a little longer.

But just when Yu Chen put on his shoes and was about to go out, the door was opened by someone else.

"Lord Duke, what are you looking for me?" Yu Chen bowed to the old duke, he really didn't expect the old duke to come to visit in person. But if you think about it carefully, the door that has been locked by Yu Chen, that is, the owner of this castle, can be opened from the outside.

The old duke waved his hand, and the two guards beside him retreated. Hebrew Burlisingen looked at the two sleeping maids in Yu Chen's room and said to him, "This is not the place to talk, come with me." ”

Yu Chen was confused, but looking at the old duke's solemn expression, he knew that something must have happened.

The two men walked along the corridor until they reached the old duke's own room.

"Lord Duke, what happened?" Yu Chen finally couldn't help but speak, there were not many things that could have anything to do with him.

"You really don't know?" the old duke stared into Yu Chen's eyes, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the tabletop.

"Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door outside, and the conversation between the old duke and Yu Chen stopped for a while.

"Come in. The old duke's right hand clenched his marshal's staff, and there was an indescribable feeling of irritability in his heart.

"Your Excellency. The Chief of the General Staff, Bondakov, walked in, glanced at Yu Chen, who was standing in the room, and then whispered a few words in the old duke's ear.

Hebrew Brychingen's expression became more and more solemn, and the old duke pressed his frown with his hand.

"Her Royal Highness is missing, what do you know?" The old duke's head ached, and when he first got the news, he had already used all his strength to find it, but even if he searched the entire Duke's castle, there was no trace of Juana.

"And according to the information we received, Her Royal Highness went to look for you last night, and it was after going to your room that Her Royal Highness disappeared. Bondakov added that he lifted his monocle, which is why Yu Chen was called to the old duke's room.

"What?!Juana is gone?" Yu Chen was even more shocked than the old duke and the chief of the general staff.

"Didn't she go back to her room after looking for me again?"

"Nope. Bondakov replied succinctly, he kept watching Yu Chen.

"It's broken. Yu Chen bit the back of his hand, he knew where Juana had gone.

"Tell us what you know. The old duke knew that Yu Chen had no reason to lie, and called him here to find out where Her Royal Highness had run to quickly.

"She's probably no longer in the city. Yu Chen carefully recalled the scene of last night.

"I think Juana should have gone to the royal capital. Yu Chen recalled that Juana even knelt down to beg him yesterday, when a person is willing to give up his self-esteem, what crazy thing can he not do?

"Nonsense! cough, cough. The old duke coughed violently suddenly, which was obviously caused by a rush of anger. Bondakov, who was on the side, hurriedly handed the old duke a cup of tea, and then helped the old duke pat his back.

Although Bondakov's face was not revealed, his heart was more anxious than anyone else, as the chief of the general staff of the Northern Army, he thought more and saw farther than the old duke and Yu Chen.

'Your Royal Highness, you're so impulsive!' Bondakov looked unusually serious, his mind racing.

"Yu Chen, we don't have time left, if what you say is true, then we must recover His Highness, if His Royal Highness Juana falls into the hands of the eldest prince Aldrich, then everything will be over!" Bondakov said loudly to Yu Chen.

"Yes, you're right. We have to be fast. "The old duke has foreseen the seriousness of the matter, this is not only a matter of personal safety for Her Royal Highness, but also about the survival of the kingdom (orthodoxy)!

Orders were issued from the old duke's room, and Bondakov had been given full responsibility for the matter by the old duke. The old duke himself needed to come up with a suitable reason to hide from the eyes of the nobles of the north and the Duke of Burgundy, Charles Navarre Bourbon, the envoy of the Reims Empire.

"Hmm, the princess patrols?" muttered a nobleman under house arrest at the Duke's castle.

"She's so excited to keep us here and go hunting by herself. Another nobleman sneered.

"Huh?" the hunky General Armitage glared at the nobles who dared to speak ill of Her Highness Juana in the banquet hall. General Armitage's glare immediately silenced the hall. Almost every nobleman present quickly finished eating the food in front of him, and the scene of General Armitage throwing three heads is still fresh in his memory, and in the hearts of these nobles, he is the number one 'minion' of His Royal Highness. Eating with the murderous number one 'minions' is definitely not a pleasant experience, so most of the nobles still hope to get back to their rooms as soon as possible.

"General Armitage. Alfonso Leone smiled and sat next to Armitage.

"Boy, if you have anything to say, just say it. Faced with the smiling face of the son of the marquis, Armitage unceremoniously gave a cold ass.

"It's nothing, I just think the general is mighty and want to make small talk with you. "Alfonso Leone had always called Armitage a general, and he could never have recognized the title of nobility that Her Royal Highness had canonized.

"Hmph. General Armitage snorted coldly, where Alfonso Leon sits is his freedom, and he can't control it, but such hypocrisy (set almost), Armitage is quite contemptible. In the past, Armitage couldn't help but curse the hypocritical nobles, but now that he has become a nobleman himself, there is no chance to say this sentence again.

The murderous General Armitage and the only son of the Marquis of Leon chatted without a word, and Alfonso Leone still maintained his demeanor even though General Armitage continued to increase his murderous spirit, which made Armitage look at this noble boy differently.

"Cheers!" Alfonso Leon toasted to the general, and what he didn't expect was that he had a good conversation with the 'rude' Armitage, and the stories of the bloody battles of the soldiers made him yearn for it.

"Cheers. Armitage didn't expect that the slick aristocratic boy in front of him would have such a strong knightly feeling.

After a few glasses, there was a lot of warmth between the two of them, and Armitage didn't even mind letting the Marquis's boy look at his old scar.

The atmosphere between the two was becoming lighter and more pleasant, and Alfonso Leone almost forgot his original purpose. His Royal Highness Juana's sudden raid made him suspicious, so he planned to start with General Armitage, who was known for his outspokenness. But this time Alfonso Leon's calculation is about to fail, how can he think of the chief of staff and the old duke not think of it, so Armitage is just simply carrying out the order, he doesn't know anything about the disappearance of Her Royal Highness, and now there are only three people who know about it plus Yu Chen.

"I will definitely visit the general when I have time. Alfonso Leon did not find out, but he was genuinely moved to make a friend with General Armitage, and after saying goodbye to him, he returned to his room.

Alfonso Leone had a roll of parchment on his desk, but he didn't put pen to paper, everything that happened in Sintra had exceeded all the expectations of the nobles, especially the coronation five days later, which was a major event that decided every family, so it was necessary to be cautious, and cautious.

General Armitage did not leave the hall after Alfonso Leon had left, he ate large pieces of meat and drank large glasses, his eyes fixed on the one in the main seat.

The Duke of Burgundy, the envoy of the Reims Empire, was slowly cutting the steak, and he seemed indifferent to the hunting tour of Her Royal Highness. Armitage has been keeping an eye on this peerless powerhouse, and the old duke's order is to make him watch the every move of Charles Navarre Bourbon, Duke of Burgundy.

In the absence of the 'secrecy' of the old duke, almost everyone in Sintra soon knew that Her Royal Highness was patrolling the outskirts of the city, which not only gave the nobles of the north a reason why Her Royal Highness was not in the city, but also conveyed the wrong news to all parties, some forces were ready to move, and they decided that they must not let go of this golden opportunity.

Suburbs.

More than 1,000 guards are gathering, and the most conspicuous of them is undoubtedly the blue figure. Her Royal Highness was dressed in her most iconic blue armor, and the old duke was side by side with Her Royal Highness Juana, and it looked like the guard of more than a thousand people was about to depart.

And at the other end of the city wall, on the way to the south (the royal capital), five fast horses, the special military horses of the Duke's castle, were galloping down the avenue.

"My lord, at this speed, the horse will not be able to hold up. A stout man clenched his fist at Yu Chen.

"Change horses, don't change people, keep going. "Yu Chen's order is undoubted, he is the 'commander' of this group of five people, and this is already the second group of people sent by the old duke.

"Yes. The four of them took orders in unison, they did not have the slightest doubt about Yu Chen's order, this was the old duke's carefully selected helper for Yu Chen, and each of them was a good hand with the strength of a prefecture-level knight.

"Your Highness, you must come back safely. "The old duke and the 'Royal Highness' have set off, and more than a thousand knights behind them are guarding their sides.

Just before leaving, Yu Chen went back to his room, and he specially instructed Xia Na and Xia Na to take good care of themselves. "If I don't come back for a month, you're free. This was the last thing Yu Chen said to the two sisters before leaving.

Xia Na and Xia Nai were stunned when they heard their master's words before parting, Xia Nai wanted to hug his master one last time, but Yu Chen 'ruthlessly' 'fell' on the door.

And when the blue-eyed cat-eared sister opened the door again, the owner only left them with a back that was gradually moving away.

"Master, I'm sorry for you. Meow. "Xana sat on the ground, she could only watch her master go away, and what Xana did could cost herself and her sister the most important person in their lives.

"Huh, sister, why are you crying?" the cat-eared sister with blue eyes shook her sister's arm, she didn't understand why her sister was crying so sadly.
