"Teacher Annette, you're still in good shape. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Veronica was examining a plainly dressed old woman. The old woman sat leisurely on a wicker chair in the flower garden, looking very old, and the age spots on her face were the traces of the erosion of the years, but they did not change the kind eyes of the old woman.

"Winnie, how's it going, do you have a favorite boy?"

When Veronica heard the old woman's question, she blushed shyly and nodded, "Maybe...... Calculate...... Sort of. ”

The old woman named Annette stroked Veronica's hand with her rickety but warm hand, and her face was full of happy smiles, as if she were looking at her granddaughter.

"Winnie is still close to Teacher Annette. I asked her all the way and she squeaked and said 'no', but as soon as Teacher Annette asked, the little girl said it all. ”

Princess Eve was also smiling like a flower on the side, completely ignoring the princess's appearance.

She smiled maliciously, and smashed her best friend Veronica with her elbow and said, "Hey, Winnie, your Prince Charming, is it the red-eyed boy who came with you?"

When Veronica heard this, the red sunset hit her cheeks, and she hurriedly waved her pink fist to stop her best friend's speculation: "It's just a good feeling! Eve! You hate it! Shame on you......"

Looking at the two of them, the old woman Annette also laughed heartily. Although she doesn't have many teeth left, her pleasant smile makes her look vibrant:

"Winnie. Since you were a child, you have been talking less and doing more, and you are not very good at expressing your feelings. But the teacher still criticizes you at this point. When you meet a suitable young man you like, you must hurry up and grasp it, don't be robbed by others. Don't be like your grandma Constance and your grandfather Andre, a bunch of Shura fields, tangled depression comes out. ”

"Understood, Mr. Annette. Veronica bowed her head shyly.

At this time, the old woman Annette looked at Princess Eve, and her smile suddenly retracted, revealing a serious face: "Eve, is there no news from your sister Isabella?"

Princess Eve's smile also disappeared suddenly, and her face was full of solemnity: "It's been three days. My father was so anxious that he didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights. ”

Veronica asked with curiosity and doubt, "Eve, what's wrong with Princess Isabella?

"Honestly, Winnie. In fact, the guest of honor I went to greet today in a formal princess dress was Isaac, Marquis of Gardstere. ”

"Marquis Gardestel?" Veronica seemed to understand something, "Isn't Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella about to marry Green, the eldest son of Marquis Gardestel?"

Eve nodded sadly and said, "That's right, my sister Isabella is missing." ”

"How so?" Veronica knew the seriousness of the matter when she heard this, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this marriage about the re-annexation of the Marquis of Gardestel to Idris?

Eve sighed and said, "A few days ago, my sister went to Gardestaire with Fellow Hogan to attend Prince Green's coming-of-age ceremony and coronation. However, the convoy was delayed in reaching the Marquis of Gardestel. So Isaac, Marquis of Gardsteir, immediately sent someone to find him. As a result, the inspection revealed that they had disappeared after passing through the border town of Sekeo. And we searched all the way, only to find the convoy that had already been empty. The entourage is missing. ”

"Eve, did you find any clues?"

Eve shrugged her shoulders and pouted, "There are no clues other than the discovery of a broken letter with what appears to be a demon script. The traces of the scene are long gone. We have been looking for three days, but there are few clues left for us at the scene, although people have been sent to conduct a carpet search, but there are not many villages in this radius, and there is a mysterious and unpredictable Harlan Forest. Such a search is a complete needle in a haystack. Now it can only be determined that it was the one who was captured by the demons. As for the purpose, the method, and the whereabouts, I don't know at all. ”

The old woman Annette picked up her teacup, took a sip of weak tea, and then asked, "The demon letter hasn't been deciphered yet?"

Eve shook her head in disappointment: "Only our Idiris scholars from Hogan University understand the demon language. The demons are worried that they won't have a chance to catch him. And from Michrington, thousands of miles away, to ask someone to translate, even if it is to use the giant eagle messenger to fly over, it will take at least two weeks to go back and forth, and the other party may not agree. But we don't have much time left. My father and the Marquis de Gardstere asked me to find my sister within 7 days. ”

"Why? can't you have more time?" complained Veronica, dissatisfied.

Eve also took a sip of tea, calmed down and said:

"Winnie, you don't know. Because my sister's wedding date is 8 days later on the 28th, the VIPs are already on their way to Idiris. My father is still keeping this matter a secret, so I'll tell you about it. The only people who knew about it now were my own soldiers, Mr. Annette and General Joseph. ”

Veronica's right index finger dragged her chin, and she muttered in thought:

"That's right, but I think the key to the problem is not the demons, but our sworn enemy, the Principality of Yinggang, who must not know. The Principality of Eagle Gang is equal in strength to our Idris. Both sides wanted to annex the Middle Marquis of Gardestaire. If the news leaks, then naturally the Duke of Eagle Gang will not let go of this golden opportunity, and will inevitably force the Marquis of Gardestaire to give up the marriage contract that we have already concluded with Idiris, thus forcing him to marry the Principality of Eagle Gang. At that time, the Marquis of Gardestair will definitely be annexed. ”

The old woman, Annette, nodded proudly and said, "Worthy of being my proud protégé." Winnie, you're right. Although you are kind-hearted and simple-hearted, you don't like political deceit. But I'm still the same old saying, your political vision is still very sharp. ”

"Teacher, I can only analyze it, and I can't do anything to make suggestions......"

With that, Veronica picked up her teacup thoughtfully. Her face was dark, and she muttered with a hint of entanglement: "So, the letter of the demon clan is the key......"

Veronica knew that deciphering the demon letters was imminent, and Lance happened to know the magic language. In this way, Lance can not only help his country out of the crisis, but also maybe take this opportunity to become a court officer, and possibly become a nobleman, which is very good for Lance's future development.

But Veronica also has deep doubts:

First of all, he didn't know what Lance thought, although with Veronica's understanding of Lance, he must have agreed without hesitation. But I still have to ask for it.

Second, Veronica didn't want Lance to enter the court from the bottom of her heart. Because Veronica knew that entering the court was to roast Lance on the fire. Especially Lance's jealous and hateful character. I'm afraid that I will offend a lot of people.

And this time the credit can only help Lance to seek a civilian job. Thinking of becoming a court official, Veronica would rather let Lance go to the legion as a soldier and become a nobleman by virtue of his military exploits.

The third, and most important, is the identity of Reims. Veronica knew that Duke Aceh had a great hatred for demons. For a stranger like Lance who can speak magic language, he has no identity certificate, no household registration, and no background. I'm afraid that Duke Aceh will send Lance to the gallows more than the court.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a noisy noise outside the flower garden, and a woman's voice was shouting: "Your Royal Highness the Second Princess!

Princess Eve turned to look in the direction where the voice came from, and was very puzzled: "Who is she?"

Veronica said, "We'll just go out and see." ”

Veronica and Princess Eve went to the door of the flowerbed, only to see a maid in a pale yellow cloth with a ragged maid being stopped outside the garden.

When the maid in the pale yellow cloth saw Princess Eve, she hurriedly jumped and waved her hand and shouted: "Your Royal Highness the Second Princess! I am Lisa, the head maid of the kitchen!

With a flick of Princess Eve's hand, the guards retreated. Lisa hurriedly ran over, and after hurriedly saluting Princess Eve, she said anxiously: "Your Royal Highness Second Princess, is a person named Lance your friend?"

Hearing this, the perceptive Veronica knew that something was wrong. Hurriedly stood up and asked anxiously, "What happened to Lance?"

Lisa, the head lady, gasped and said, "He was captured by Viscount Duke and taken to the dungeon. ”

As soon as she heard this, Veronica sat down on the table next to her weakly, and said worriedly, "You mean that old whore Duke?"

Veronica knew the man Duke, who was the younger brother of Count Clay and the viscount of Heatvoy. This man relied on the strength of his brother, Eugene, Count Clay, to bully the weak. Being a man is also greedy for money, lustful, and ruthless.

And because Count Clay is the largest prince in the Duchy of Idiris, the Duke of Aceh usually gives three points and turns a blind eye. Even Count Clay used all means to make his younger brother the head of industry and commerce of Idris, and went around to extort and extort money. Everyone usually avoids it.

Lance actually bumped into his hand this time. This filled Veronica's heart with fear.

Princess Eve helped the maid Lisa smooth out, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, speak slowly, what happened?"

Lisa, the head maid, told Princess Eve and Veronica how Lance rescued Jessica and was finally captured.

After hearing this, Princess Eve also sighed with an embarrassed face:

"It's not easy. Lance was a commoner who fought a nobleman, and he was still a powerful nobleman. According to his father's character, he will inevitably ignore it. I don't know if I can convince my father. Let's try it, after all, it's the old whore Duke who is wrong. ”

However, by this time, Veronica had calmed down from her panic. Because she knew that there was a way, she would definitely let the Duke of Aceh personally come forward to rescue Lance.

So Veronica said to Eve solemnly, "Eve, take me to your father, the Duke of Aceh." I have a way. Let's go, I'll tell you on the way. ”

"Okay, then let's go, it's too late." ”

After saying goodbye to the old woman Annette. Eve led Veronica, Lisa, and Jessica, the victim, to Duke Aceh's residence.
