"That was a long time ago, and you want to know what that one does?"

Hurriedly put on his clothes, and seeing Perry follow up without giving up, the old king asked helplessly, "It's been more than ten years, maybe it's just ...... By coincidence. ”

"It's not a coincidence that this kind of thing happened, the other party did seem to know me, and the target was also aimed at us. If it weren't for Alice's early ......"

"I've wanted to ask this question since just now, why did it attack Miss Alice first?"

"Because she rested at the city lord's that night, and I was just an ordinary hotel. ”

"This ...... Huh, ah......"

"I gave her the seal. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Perry had to admit it honestly so that his father could speak, "My identity is inconvenient." ”

"Well, I see, that's how it is, and the seal has been given. The old king nodded meaningfully, "After the orc matter and the trivial matters of the past few days are settled, I will give you a marriage." You're too stubborn sometimes, and you really need the help of a smart kid. ”

"Father!"

"Ahem...... I do have some impressions of the flute player. But that's when you weren't born. ”

Changing the topic stiffly, the old king dragged Perry and pulled him into the carriage that was already waiting outside, "At that time, the situation on the mainland was far from being as peaceful and stable as it is now, and it can be said that disputes are inevitable. In the Far North, in other words, behind the Orc realm, there was indeed a modest principality, whose queen was said to be able to play beautiful notes with her flute. ”

"For a long time...... How long was that?"

"Your grandfather was still alive, he already had. At that time, there was no conflict between the two sides. Plus the vast territory separated by the orcs. There can be no conflict of interest. So in the company of your grandfather, I have seen their queen and the flute at several great banquets. It should be said that she played it on the spot, it was really a very beautiful flute sound, indescribable, but ...... I remember it all the time. ”

"Then ......"

"Later, there was nothing to justify, our first truce with the orcs came into effect. The relationship is in the honeymoon period of the period, because there are no worries, so those talented wolves, tigers and leopards are eyeing the principality, after all, its location is very special, although the climate is harsh, but it is close to the mountains, rich in mining resources, and it is understandable to be targeted. ”

The old king sighed, and the sound of the axle of the carriage turning for a while made Perry's heart palpitate, "It's just a small principality. Nature...... Nothing too capable. Therefore, their messengers have gone to great lengths to bypass the territory of the orcs and come to my country to ask for help, but ...... I killed him. ”

"Father's ......"

The two countries are not at war. Not to mention this kind of request for help from a third party. It doesn't matter if you don't help, but you can just kill something......

"Is it because of the situation?"

After calming down, Perry spoke slowly. He believed that his father was not such a ruthless person, and that there must be some reason that forced him to do so.

"Well, he came at a bad time, just in time to collide with the orc envoys. In the face of doubts, there was nothing I could do but express my attitude towards the truce in that way. After all, although they were busy with aggression at that time, we also urgently needed to expand our national strength, and the two sides reached an armistice, and for the sake of my country, I could not easily give up completely because of a principality's request for help. ”

After that, Perry also understood a little bit from his childhood studies, the expansion of national power is not an easy task, at least it will be much easier if there are no worries, and the armistice agreement with the orcs is also reflected in its benefits during this period of time. But on the other hand, the principality is estimated to have fallen.

The orcs who destroy the country are certainly hateful, but ...... Whoever killed the messenger for help will surely be remembered. If he just refused, maybe the envoy would go to other countries to ask for help, but if he killed him directly, then all hope would be cut off. Waiting again and again is not only fruitless, but even the road has been blocked from the beginning, and when they finally react, they may hate their father even more.

"Did you just say that you saw a flute player?"

"Indeed, a woman who plays the flute. Perry recalled Alice's description at the time, "Age...... Seems to be about my age. ”

"That's probably the widow, and I can only guess her identity here. As for the flute and the kind of 'control' you mentioned, I don't have a clue. Originally, if the magic was not passed on, it would be difficult for others to know. Interest, that's a kind of magic. ”

After a pause, the old king asked, "But...... Why is she in that kind of place?"

"I don't know, I don't know at all, but I feel very bad, father. ”

Perry shook his head and waited quietly for the carriage to hurry to the inn. Although it was the place where the envoy stayed, he always felt that since the other party had bad intentions, he would not be sent away so easily.

......

"Here we are! ”

The carriage came to a slow stop, and Perry jumped off immediately. At night, the inn was unusually quiet, and there was a strange smell wafting in the air. This did not surprise Perry.

"What about the messenger who came in the morning?"

"Ahh

Yes, it feels worse and worse, and if they are determined to go to war, they will use every reason at their disposal. The previous "facts" count as one, and this time the messenger ...... Could it also become one of the reasons for instigating disputes?

"Your Highness, it's ...... in the middle"

"Get out of the way. ”

A faint smell of blood wafted through the door, which made Perry clench his fists. Raised his foot and kicked it violently, but the open room was already a miserable situation that was difficult to look at. Dismembered bodies were strewn about, and all corners of the room were stained with blood, and it looked like it had been dry for a long time.

died, although I had such a bad premonition, but ...... It really happened.

"What's going on!"

Behind him came the old king's low roar, "Why is the messenger ...... here?"

"I don't know, no one else has been here except for it today...... Subordinates, subordinates don't notice anything!"

"Father, it's none of his business!" Perry turned abruptly and said word for word, "it'...... It was suicidal. (To be continued.) )
