When the princess arrived at Fort Orleans, the mages were not idle. According to the agreed plan, they took the remaining knights disguised as a small caravan, followed the princess out of the village of Beckley, and quietly entered the city.

After entering the city, they followed the instructions of the envoy and took the cart of clay pots and walked to the chamber of commerce. After inquiring around at the Chamber of Commerce, Mage Christine found the contact person he was looking for. After seeing this contact, the mage did not speak, but took out a bracelet given to him by the envoy.

Seeing the bracelet, the contact immediately lowered his voice: "Everyone, please come with me." ”

Under his leadership, the mage went to a room in the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce, and with him, he handed the letter in his bosom to the mustache. And after reading the letter, the eight-character beard hurriedly arranged the mage and the others in a secluded residence. As he was leaving, he left behind a sentence: "Everyone, please be calm, and I will go and inform Lord Auckland." ”

The mage nodded slightly.

Da-da-da.

The sound of hurried footsteps faded away in the corridor.

After hearing the sound of disappearing footsteps, the mage slowly spoke: "You check your surroundings, remember, don't be too ostentatious. ”

The knights in disguise nodded, and quickly left.

Bruno opened his mouth with a big grin: "I said Kerry, why are you so careful? Are you afraid of being deceived by His Majesty?"

The mage raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the tall blonde man: "In everything, it's always better to be careful." He turned his head to Anina: "You know this place well, you can also go out to see the situation in the neighborhood together." ”

"Yes, Father. ”

Seeing that Anina had also left, the blonde suddenly sighed: "I really can't imagine it, it turns out that the new king has long been..."

The mage curled the corners of his mouth: "Yes, I was a little surprised at first. He was silent for a while, and then carefully revisited the details of that day in his mind: "However, combined with Blair's words, this is indeed very credible. ”

Bruno shook his head: "I really don't understand you, there are always so many twists and turns in your mind, and I'm not afraid to turn myself into it." ”

Hearing the complaints of his old friend, the mage explained seriously: "So, politics is such a thing as ......" After thinking about it, he decided to give up the idea of lecturing to Bruno, and instead turned to the topic that interests him most: "If the plan is successful, the princess will be able to gain a foothold here, and you will be able to set up your own laboratory." Don't you feel satisfied with this kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

"Perhaps. Blonde looked at the rows of rooftops in the distance: "I finally understand that without the support of the forces, it is really difficult to do something you like." ”

Seeing the rare sad look of his old friend, the mage couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong, Kerry?" Bruno turned his head, his face full of confusion, "Am I not right?"

"You've been on the run for so long, do you understand now?"

Shh

Bruno let out a breath through his nose.

"Alright. The mage stretched out his rib-thick arm and pressed Bruno down, "Now that you understand this, work hard." ”

"I know it even if I don't say it. Bruno spread his hands and muttered angrily, "It's already tied to a rope." ”

Inside the Violet Inn.

Victoria's expression was unusually anxious and uneasy: "Uncle Blair, how is it over there?"

"Don't worry. Blair hurriedly spoke: "Lardo, you are worthy of our trust." And your brother, His Majesty Granddon, is not what you think. ”

Speaking of this, Victoria was still a little annoyed: "So, even you have been hiding it from me?"

Blair bowed: "Please forgive me, Your Highness the Princess. ”

"Forget it. Victoria waved her hand generously: "Maybe I was deceived by my brother's disguise, but this time it was you who prompted me to follow this plan. She looked at the knight who had been assisting her, and her expression was unusually serious: "I choose to believe you, Uncle Blair. ”

Blair bowed his head in fear: "Your Highness, it is really my honor to have such trust from you. ”

"Call Ronald and let them in, we're going to go through the details of the operation. ”

"Yes, Your Highness Princess. ”

Tuk-tuk.

After a gentle knock on the door, the voice of Viscount Launod sounded outside the door: "Your Highness Victoria, the Grand Duke of Hellington has decided to hold a dinner at his castle in three days, and I have been sent to invite His Highness to come. ”

"Come in. ”

Victoria beaked towards Blair Nunu.

Blair walked briskly to the door and took the gilded invitation from Ronod's hand: "Got it, please tell the Duke, we will arrive on time." He took out a black pearl bracelet: "I heard that His Excellency the Viscount has not been married for a long time, and this is a gift from Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Thank you so much!" Ronnolds quickly bowed down and happily accepted the black pearl bracelet: "To be able to get the gift from Her Royal Highness the Princess, the humble wife will definitely be very happy." ”

After sending the Viscount out of the room, Blair summoned Ronald and them.

Gently closing the door bolt, Blair told the information about the secret meeting with Lardo: "On the side of the Knights of the Wind, there are knights who support the duke led by Captain Mittler, and there are about a hundred people in those servants. And the deputy head of Lardo, who supported His Majesty, had nearly three hundred people. ”

This result made the princess very pleased: "It seems that my father really didn't see the wrong person." ”

Ronald interjected: "There are only a hundred of them?"

"That's right. Blair nodded: "Originally, the difference in numbers was not too much, but the last time it attacked us, it was the reserve of the Knights of the Wind. At the mention of this matter, his face was a little gloomy: "The duke's intention to collude with the church to establish its own state, the first king has long known about it. And His Majesty Granddon, also under the instruction of the former king, pretended to have fun and debauchery with those young nobles, but in fact he had a secret meeting. ”

The princess raised her hand and interrupted Blair's words: "Time is pressing, jump away from those and talk about the specifics." ”

Blair nodded: "The Knights of the Wind, on their side, will launch a rebellion order at the same time as we assassinate Helrington, and Lardo will be responsible for controlling the rebel knights inside." And the private soldiers belonging to the castle of Herrington were handed over to Christine and them. As for the City Guard, the Auckland side can control the situation. ”

Ronald was a little worried about the mage and them: "Then, with only Christine and them, they can get rid of all the private soldiers?"

"Rest assured, Ronald. ”

Blair patted Ronald on the shoulder: "Their task is to be responsible for opening the drawbridge and delaying for reinforcements for a while. He glanced to the south of the city: "The troops sent by His Majesty have been ambushed near the castle. In order to maintain the secret surname of the operation, they could not be too close to the castle, and there were not many of them. But as long as we can make peace smoothly, it will be more than enough to deal with those private soldiers. ”

"At the dinner, the squire and knights are not allowed to carry weapons. He tilted his head and stared at Ronald earnestly: "So the most important thing is you, Ronald." As long as the Duke is dead, the pressure on us to attack will be much less, after all, there are still many nobles here who have their hearts set on Falken. ”

Although it had been emphasized during the discussion, the stakes were high, and the safety of the princess was at stake, which made Blair nervous. But as an elder here, he knew he couldn't show that emotion.

At this moment, there was only concern on Blair's resolute face, and he patiently repeated again: "On the day of the dinner, I will be in charge of the troops outside the city, as well as the liaison and coordination with the mages. He nodded at the three knights beside Ronald: "And you are the strongest, if the princess misses a blow when she sneaks up......"

Ronald glanced at the princess, nodded firmly to Blair, and expressed his determination without hesitation: "I understand! I will use my life to ensure the safety of the princess!"

Seeing the seriousness and confidence shining in his eyes, Blair bowed slightly.

I was right.

His uneasiness calmed down a little, and seeing that everyone had serious expressions, in order to ease everyone's tension, he suddenly said: "Young man, don't always promise with your life." Seeing Ronald's blank face, he laughed: "The living are always much more useful than the dead." ”

Ha ha.

Hearing the commander's teasing, a knight couldn't help but laugh.

Ronald was stunned for a moment.

Seeing his stunned appearance, the princess covered her mouth and suppressed the smile in her heart: "That's right! instead of thinking about how to die for me all day long, it is better to study how to live for me." ”

As soon as the words came out, the sensitive Victoria suddenly realized that what she had just said was a little ambiguous, and she hurriedly prepared to change her words and explain. However, seeing that Ronald had not yet recovered from that stunned state, she was secretly relieved and gave up this plan. Still, her cheeks were slightly red.

Oops, how could you tell such a joke!

She lowered her head, a ripple in her emerald eyes.

Seeing that the princess bowed her head and remained silent, Blair thought she was troubled by the assassination plan three days later. He hurriedly told her with concern: "Your Highness, don't be nervous during the dinner, keep a normal mind, and then take advantage of it." Although the Grand Duke of Highington was also a powerful knight when he was young, it was not difficult for His Highness to attack him. ”

Taking a light breath, Victoria raised her face and nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Uncle Blair." ”

She glanced out the window, where the lights had faded.

"Alright, let's go back and rest first. Princess Victoria raised her hand: "Take care of your mouth, stay in the room honestly for the past two days, and don't go anywhere." ”

After returning to the room, Ronald couldn't sleep.

After pacing back and forth a few steps, he spread out his palm--- a small piece of condensed ice crystals appeared on his palm.

After dissipating the ice, he lay on his back on the bed.

He crossed his hands, rested his head on the palms, and stared at the roof in a daze, a little skeptical of the power of the armor-piercing dagger.

Although the Kodom said that it could easily break through the armor's protection, the Duke had nothing to protect himself from. Besides, the princess's strength is similar to that guy, even if it is a sneak attack, it is possible for him to dodge it......

Thinking about it, he didn't feel sleepy, so he tossed and turned in bed, thinking about what he should do on the day of the dinner.

The night breeze blew the candle flame on the wooden table flickering. A puff of green smoke floated up, and the candles on the lampstand finally burned out the last drop of wax oil.

In the dark night, the flickering dazzle is still there.

Ronald looked at the stars in the night sky and simply froze.
