Chapter 5

Isabel came to the Ninth Defense Headquarters - Helgenburg, where she had important matters to discuss with Hans. At that time, the two elites of the Ninth National Defense, Hutt Burbis and Goliath Larson, had just been assigned tasks. Although this was the first time the two elites had met Isabel, Hurt took the initiative to say hello to her, and Goliath smiled at her. Isabel also nodded in response, and although her mask obscured her expression, the other party could still feel her faint smile.

Hurt and Gloria then left the office.

"Lord Duke, I have a very important matter to discuss with you. Isabel said.

"And any good advice?" asked Hans.

"The people of the Military Medical Department and the Military Exploration Department are creating incidents in our country, stealing secrets, and opposing customers, almost everywhere, do we really want to be led by their noses like this?"

"Hurt and Goliath will soon give an answer, our men have already captured five members of the military medical department, two of them committed suicide for fear of torture, and the remaining three are being examined, and when they tell the truth, we will kill them. ”

"Lord Duke, does that make sense?"

"What do you think you should do? ”

"The Battle of Oztritz gave me a great inspiration that instead of defeating the enemy on its own soil, it is better to bring the flames of war directly to the enemy country and burn it, and it is more effective to defeat the enemy in the enemy country than to drive the enemy out of the country. My suggestion is to send our men directly to London to assassinate those high-ranking British officials, and plunge their country into chaos and panic, and once the country is in chaos, their king will not be able to sit still, and at that time, Napoleon will also take advantage of it, and England will disappear forever. ”

"The British are not so stupid, we are better to be cautious. ”

"The British have defeated our navy, and when they return home, they will have to celebrate, and the soldiers are busy meeting their families, which is also the time when they are most relaxed, and this is a golden opportunity. ”

"Your advice is very brave, for fear that you will die before you reach the mainland of England. ”

"Why don't you believe me? To defend our homeland, we must first know the threat from outside, and if we don't give the British a little color, sooner or later they will come back. The reason why the British navy is strong is because they always want to see the outside world, they always want to get more land and resources, and in order to do so, they must learn to invade, they must have weapons. In a country like the United Kingdom, only force can convince them. ”

"Are you here to teach me?" said Hans, raising his voice slightly, and his tone stiffened.

"It's a fact. ”

Hans calmed his tone, "Your words make a lot of sense, and you have a lot of courage, but now...... The time has not yet come, I can't let you go to England. ”

"Why?"

"I'm really worried about your safety. ”

"Rest assured, I'll arrive in London safely and come back safely. ”

"Anyway, I can't let you go now, because there are some things that still need you, and later, you will slowly learn. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

"Don't say anything, you go back first, I still have a lot of things to do. Hans then got up and left the office.

Isabel was disappointed with Hans's attitude, and after standing there for a long time, she had to leave in silence.

Copenhagen was still sunny during the day, but in the evening, it snowed heavily. Desperate, Isabel came to the balcony to watch the snow and dispel doubts about the current situation, and happened to meet Hales, who was watching the snow scene. After saying hello to Hales, she stood there silently, looking at the snowflakes in the night sky.

"Isn't there going to be any more trouble?" Hales asked.

Isabel stopped talking. 【】

Hales then asked, "Or are you dissatisfied with some people?"

"Hans, Hans, Duke of Orsin, he's a coward, a coward through and through. ”

"What happened?"

"His cowardice and cowardice directly missed the opportunity for me to assassinate the King and Prime Minister of England. ”

"You're going to England?"

"Yes, I'm going to go directly to assassinate the king of England and kill their most important people on enemy territory. ”

"Hans won't let you go, will he?"

"He was a coward with no ambition, he was afraid of the enemy, he didn't know what was going on outside, and he only cared about guarding his own door. ”

"So you're helpless?"

"He's my boss and I can't disobey orders. ”

"I think he must have had his own intentions. ”

His intention was to first dig up the British spies planted in Copenhagen and then interrogate them one by one. ”

"If those spies die and don't speak, they're just a waste of time. ”

"So, Hans is a coward, and a waste. ”

"Do you know who Hans's leader is?"

"The king, but the king is not well now, and all government affairs are replaced by the prince. ”

"How much does the prince trust you?"

"I don't know yet, but ...... Today I have given him a medicine that will relieve the king's pain, and if it works, the prince will trust me. ”

"What kind of medicine?"

"I don't know its name, only that it was made by a Gohaian wizard. ”

"I see, in that case, this medicine should be good, once the king takes it, it will be effective tomorrow, you go to the prince tomorrow to find out about the king's condition, and tell him some of your thoughts by the way, it will be regarded as a small talk, but you must not say anything to the prince that is not satisfied with Hans. ”

"I see, then I'm in the house, what about you?"

"I'm here to look at the snow. ”

"What's so nice about snow?"

"The main thing is to see how it changes. ”

"Whether it's snow or ice, it's going to turn into water, there's nothing to see. ”

"Don't you think that water is the most wonderful thing in nature? Water not only symbolizes life, but it also contains the philosophy of life. ”

"The philosophy of life?"

"yes. Water can nourish the land, nourish all things on the earth, accept everything, and see ...... The water is kind. Water can also accumulate into a lot, turning into huge waves, or even tsunamis, flooding the land, which shows that water is also unforgiving. ”

"Sometimes kind, sometimes ruthless. Isabel muttered.

"Yes, and it can bend and stretch, it can turn into clouds and float into the air, and it can also turn into rain and dew and fall to every corner of the earth. ”

"Can bend and stretch! Can bend and stretch!" Isabel said thoughtfully: "When it encounters severe cold, it will turn into ice, water is a soft thing, and in the cold and harsh environment, it will turn into ice as hard as steel, reflecting its indomitable side, as if to tell us that the more difficult times are, the more we should be strong and unyielding." ”

"Yes, that's what it means. ”

"The rocks on the seashore are hard, but the edges and corners become smooth by the washing and rubbing of the waves day and night, as if to tell us to be persistent and patient in whatever we do. ”

"That's right, you finally understand the philosophy, so there is nothing more than this in our lives. ”

"Thank you so much, Mr. Graeme, I didn't expect to learn so much from you after watching a snowfall. Listening to you say this, my mood has also improved greatly, and you always guide me when I am confused. ”

"When I see you, I always think of my daughter, if there is anything she needs help with, just come and ask me. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Graeme! I'll go back to the house first. ”

"Okay. ”

Isabel went back to the house to catch up on her sleep, and when she woke up, it was already the next night. The first thing she did was to quickly put on her mask and go to the palace to see the king's condition. She came again to the King's Lodge, and as soon as she entered the drawing-room, the Prince approached her in high spirits. "Isabel, it's a pleasure to see you again. The prince said.

She bowed to the prince, "Your Highness, how is His Majesty's condition?"

"I'll tell you, Isabel, your medicine has worked, and my father is inside, and he will be very happy to see you, so please come with me. ”

"Wait, I just did what I had to do, it's not too early, let's let Your Majesty rest, I can't disturb Your Majesty's rest because of my arrival, please!"

"Well, you saved my father, and I, as a prince, should also say, what do you want? I have diamonds, jewels, gold, ...... here."

"Your Highness, it is already my honor to be able to treat Your Majesty. ”

"But I still want to thank you, my father told me that when I see you, I must reward you well. ”

"If Your Highness must reward me, then please ask Your Highness to bring in the psychic who healed His Majesty in the first place, I suspect that he is a liar. ”

"By the way, I almost forgot, this psychic must be a liar, and I can't spare him. ”

The prince took Isabel to his office, and the promoter of the psychic - Duke Wesker was also heard.

After the Duke bowed to the prince, he still glanced at the masked girl standing beside the prince with contempt. This time, the prince did not give him face, but in front of Isabel and the two guards, he called her by his first name and said, "Celend, how is my father treating you?"

The Duke was puzzled, "Your Highness, you are ......" He had probably never seen the prince speak to him in such a tone.

"I ask you, how much did you pay for a psychic?"

"A total of 50,000 kroner was spent. ”

"Let me ask you again, how many surgeries did psychics perform on my father?"

"Five times. ”

"Good, it's all right. But every time your psychic doctor performed psychic surgery on my father, my father never got better, and Isabel took a pill for my father, and my father's condition improved greatly on the same day. You have to give me an adequate answer to this matter. ”

"Your Highness, I just want Your Majesty to recover as soon as possible, and I have no ill intentions. ”

"Then I'm going to meet this psychic of yours now, and let him come to me right away. ”

The guards soon arrived at the psychic. As soon as the psychic entered, Isabel noticed his iron face and festering lips, and immediately concluded that he was infected with a disease.

In order to prevent the others from being infected, Isabel immediately stepped forward and pointed at the psychic and shouted, "Stop. Everyone postponed. ”

Duke Wesker was just about to step forward to pick up the psychic he trusted, but Isabel dragged him back. The duke was stunned, "Kamen girl, you dare to drag me?"

Isabel did not care about the duke's expression, but pointed to the psychic and said to the prince: "Your Highness, he suffers from syphilis, let him get out of here quickly." ”

"What?" the prince was stunned, "syphilis?"

The duke thought Isabel was lying, "Nonsense, you're not a doctor, how do you know he has syphilis?" ”

"Maybe we'll find a few court physicians to check it out. Isabel said.

The prince was also a little skeptical, but in order to find out the truth, he ordered the guards to watch the psychic and sent several court physicians with extensive medical experience. The doctors examined the psychic's eyes, teeth, and tongue, and they concluded that he had syphilis, as well as early yellow fever. After listening to the doctors' stories, the prince was furious and ordered the guards to take the patient posing as a psychic to the underground prison. Because of the prince's cleanliness, he also poured a whole bottle of liquor on the floor where the syphilis patient walked. After some careful wiping by the servants, the floor was finally clean.

This time, Duke Wesker was speechless.

The prince let out a long breath and walked over to the duke, "What else do you have to say, Salend?"

The Duke of Wesker in front of him was no longer majestic, his forehead instantly broke out with sweat, his head was also very low, and his speech began to become slurred: "Your Highness, I ...... I...... Please, please......"

"As a minister of state, you were played by a liar and applauded, and by virtue of my and my father's trust in you, you deceived your superiors and subordinates, and let a seriously ill patient pretend to be a psychic and go in and out of the palace, are you worthy of my bedridden father? If a clever liar can deceive you, the minister of the court, into losing both money and money, then ...... Will the people from the Military Exploration Department and the Military Medical Department be able to convince you to betray the whole country?

"Your Highness, I ......" Duke Wesker was already speechless.

"It's tolerable, it's unbearable. The guards escorted Selund to the Dark Prison to await execution. ”

Just as the guards were about to take the begging Duke Wesker to prison, Isabel suddenly said, "Wait. ”

Duke Wesker, who was still begging just now, suddenly froze there, at a loss.

The prince wondered, "What do you mean, Isabel?"

"Your Highness, in fact, I have no right to intervene, but I must say this matter. ”

"Say it. ”

"Your Highness, please spare the Duke. ”

"What, let him go?"

"Your Highness, although the psychic is a liar and has more than enough to die, but the Duke is also one of the deceived, he just wants to use all means to cure His Majesty's illness, I think, if he wants to harm His Majesty, he doesn't need to spend so much money to invite a psychic, right, Your Highness?"

The prince frowned, scratched his chin with his index finger, and felt that she had a point, "You are right. Well, Celend's capital crime can be exonerated, but as a court minister, he is too superstitious about magic, so I will temporarily remove him from his position on behalf of my father and let the other ministers see, this is the end of superstitious magic. ”

"No, Your Highness, please do not remove Lord Duke from his position. ”

Duke Wesker looked at the iron-masked girl beside him in surprise, he never expected that the girl he thought was "afraid to show his face" was actually interceding for him.

The prince was also a little surprised, "Not killing Celende is already the greatest mercy to him, now, what else do you have to say?"

"The Duke is one of the most trusted people of His Majesty, and the King's body is still recovering, and if he knows about this, he will be furious, and I am afraid that his illness will worsen, so please do not tell the King about this, and I hope that Your Highness will try to say something that will please the King for the sake of the King." Isabel said.

"What should I say if my father wants to know who cured him?"

"Your Highness can say that Duke Wesker asked a psychic to remove the tumor from His Majesty's body, and my herbs provide energy for His Majesty's body. Although this is a lie, sometimes it is necessary to cover up an ugly reality with a lie. There are many things in the court that cannot be separated from Duke Wesker, please ask Your Highness to focus on the overall situation. ”

"Do you hear me, Celende? Actually, Isabel is completely interceding for you. ”

Duke Wesker was also touched by Isabel's lenient behavior, and he also bowed his head in shame, "Isabel...... It's all my fault, and I blame it for everything. Your Highness, I ....... ”

The prince's anger also subsided, and he patted the duke on the shoulder, "Lord Duke, go back and reflect on it, I don't want to see anyone being used by liars." ”

"I remember, Your Highness the Prince. Isabel, thank you very much for interceding for me, I didn't expect you to be so generous, please forgive me!"

"The biggest enemy at the moment is the UK, and we need to be stronger together. As long as the Duke trusts me, I will be satisfied. ”

"If you need my help, just ask. ”

"Okay. ”

The prince cleared his throat, "The matter is over, and this is the end of today, so let's all step down." ”

Not long after Isabel and the others left the office, Duke Hans Orsing arrived. He bowed to the prince, "Your Highness." ”

"What is the matter with you looking for me at such a late hour?" asked the prince.

"Your Highness, I heard that Isabel has relieved His Majesty's condition with a pill, and you have interceded before you on behalf of the superstitious Duke Silende Wesk. ”

"I didn't expect you to know what just happened, so quickly. ”

"This is my responsibility, Your Highness. ”

"Do you need to know these things?"

"As the leader of the Ninth National Defense and Isabel's boss, there are some things that I should explain to the prince. ”

"It seems that you are indeed here to speak, and I am listening. ”

"Your Highness, why did Isabel intercede for Duke Wesker, do you know?"

"How do you understand that?"

"The Duke of Wesker was a minister of the court, and he had the trust of His Majesty and His Highness, and at the beginning, he had a liar pretending to be a psychic to treat His Majesty's illness, and he despised Isabel, and did not believe in the pills she gave to the king, and humiliated her many times. It stands to reason that Isabel should hate him, but instead of hating him, she interceded for him in his time of danger so that he could save his life and power, and in this way, Duke Wesker owed her a great favor. ”

"Isabel understands righteousness, and I am very touched that she did the right thing. ”

"Your Highness, Duke Wesker holds great power, and once he is encircled by others, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Are you worried that Duke Wesker is being used by Isabel, or are you worried that Isabel is being used by Duke Wesker?"

"What I'm worried about is that once Isabel, a newcomer who is highly regarded by the king, and the powerful Duke of Wesk, once they form a cohesive force, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to His Highness. ”

"Why me?"

"Because His Highness is the future king, if Isabel and Duke Wesker are too powerful, it is inevitable that the other ministers will not lean towards them. Although this is just my speculation, my speculation is purely for the sake of the country. ”

"Hans, as Isabel's boss, why do you guess your subordinates like that?"

"I don't want to speculate, but there are times when we need to be vigilant. ”

The prince thought for a while, "I understand what you mean, I'll think about it, you go down first." ”

Hans bowed to the prince and turned to walk out the door, while the prince watched his large back with a suspicious and wary look until he walked out of the office.

Then the chief of the prince's personal guard walked in. "Did you hear what Hans had just said?" asked the prince.

The chief of the guard replied, "I hear you, Your Highness." The Duke of Orsin had some truth in what he said, but ......" he began to hesitate.

"Go on. ”

"Why is he so well informed about what has just happened to His Highness, and how does he know that Isabel has interceded for Duke Wesker?"

"yes, that's what I'm thinking about. ”

"The subordinates just think it's strange and can't speculate, everything is still decided by His Highness. ”

"I'm going to answer that question myself, and you have to keep your mouth shut. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
