Char himself knows very well that as a leader of a group, he really has no sense of responsibility.

personally sent Daphany back to the imperial capital, such a determination is a certainty. Trekking all the way to the imperial capital, thousands of mountains and rivers, the distance is far away, and it takes a lot of time, and he is waiting for his family to deal with the various military and political affairs that are piled up in the entire northern garrison, including a large number of official affairs in the relocation office. But he said he would go......

You know, when I thought about sending someone to the imperial capital to inform Adrick of Hasting's movements, I thought about it for a long time. But I didn't expect that now, I would go to the imperial capital in person.

"If only I had known that I was going to run," Char sighed in his heart.

This journey, although she is accompanied by such a beautiful woman as Daphne, and the relationship between the two has experienced such intimacy...... , but the journey was not pleasant, "without the slightest hint of charm."

Coming all the way south from the Agate River, although the two rode together, they seemed to fall into tacit silence as they walked.

Dauphinne didn't speak, and Char didn't want to speak. Such an indifferent atmosphere is like an invisible wall between a man and a woman.

Riding lightly and in simple clothes, the degree is naturally much faster than the large group of people.

After the Agate River, Char also tried to choose a secluded road to walk in order to avoid trouble. The two of them were in a hurry, and most of the time they avoided staying in the town, and most of the time, they preferred to stay in the wilderness.

A bonfire with "rudimentary food...... Just like the tender scenery on the banks of the mountains and forests, but there is no such atmosphere anymore.

Daphne's attitude towards Char is deliberately indifferent, and he faintly keeps a distance from Char, and in his words, he will be called "General Char".

Although Char understood Daphne's intentions in her heart, and she also knew very well that this woman made such a choice for the sake of family responsibility, but as a young man who really didn't have much experience in relationships, it was difficult for him to keep his sanity in the face of such complex emotional entanglements.

Although he is dominant, although he has a strong army, although he is already a prince of the contemporary dominant side, but in the final analysis, he is still a young man in his early twenties, and he has no experience in dealing with emotional matters, and he only remained silent in the face of this kind of cold war between the two.

Although intellectually understands Daphne's distress, he emotionally just can't accept "intolerable" and can't let go!

This woman ...... Damn!How could she do that to me!!

Char, like all young men in the world who have tasted the bitterness of feelings for the first time, is full of resentment.

"Actually, if you really don't want her to leave, just sweep her back and take a rope tied to the horse's back, and go north" in a few days to return to your territory. She's a weak woman, can she still resist you?"

Dora was a little dismissive of Char's "cowardly" behavior.

Char was annoyed in her heart, and said coldly: "What do you know! Since she can be so ruthless, do you want me to forcibly tie her back? Shouldn't this kind of thing be what you want me to do? Since she is ruthless, "Why do I still ask her! Hmph, old man, don't you have dignity!"

When Dora heard this, she smiled disdainfully, and only said, "Stupid son, you are both stupid in general. Between men and women, "gambling is the most unreasonable." What dignity is, it's just that you can't put down the sub and the shelf. ”

"You dragon knows a. Char immediately fought back.

Dora then stopped talking.

For Daiffany to call himself "General Char" when he opened his mouth, Char was very annoyed in his heart, and when he was angry, he simply opened his mouth and closed his mouth to be "Her Royal Highness the Queen", which was commensurate.

The two couples who used to mix oil in mì and met each other actually came up with a ridiculous taste of courtesy and courtesy for a while.

Char's anger, how could Daphany not understand? She looked at the pain and anger in Char's eyes every day, "my heart was soft", I don't know how many times, I just threw myself into Char's arms if I couldn't hate, but she forcibly held back, she knew very well that she was not easy to make up her mind, if she was weak again, I was afraid that she would really not be ruthless.

On one side is the man he loves for the first time in his life", but on the other side, it is the old father and brother in his own family, and the heavy surname of Minas!

In order to maintain the status of the family and maintain the glory of the family, "The Minas family needs a queen!

The Minas family needs a queen! Even if it is a queen who dies in the imperial capital! He must not disappear without explanation! Even if he dies, he must die in the imperial capital" as a queen, and he dies in a dignified manner.

This may be his only "value", right......,......

※※※

Although Char's face is indifferent, he is a rigid person on the outside and soft on the inside, although his heart is full of anger, he still takes great care of Daphne" In his heart, he already regards Daphany as his own woman.

Along the way, Daiffini can naturally feel Char's meticulous care everywhere, all kinds of things about food and accommodation, this man takes care of himself meticulously, and even knows that he is weak, if it is 1 night, he will stay awake all night, guarding the bonfire "Every time Dauphani wakes up, the man will see that the man covers his felt on his body.

Several times I woke up in the middle of the night, looking at Char's back sitting by the campfire, Daphne didn't know how many tears she shed, and at dawn, her eyes were red, but she still tried to make a cold look.

Between the two, despite the cold war, they silently maintained a tacit understanding: mounts.

Although they passed through towns all the way south, neither Char nor Daphany offered to buy another horse to use as a mount.

The two rode together.

Because, this is the only chance for the two to get in touch now.

Although I hope in my heart, this road to the south will continue forever like this, and walk with Char, "Even if this road goes for another hundred years, it will be good to go to the edge of the sky."

But no matter how far away the journey is, there will always be a day when it will be finished. And the two of them rode lightly on the road, "without luggage, without accompanying carriages and horses, and the degree is much faster."

Such a trek is only half a month" has already arrived at the Armenian Military District.

This is already the last stop before heading to the imperial capital. Passing through the Armenian Military District" is considered to be an official entry into the former administrative district of Osgilia.

Because General Adric in the imperial capital reorganized his arms for war, "the Armenian military district also began mobilization and alerting. In order to prevent the emperor's spying, the Armenian military district strictly "strictly checks unfamiliar faces and travelers." However, for the powerful Char, "naturally I won't take it seriously." Avoiding the patrolling soldiers is just a dish.

It's just that Char knew that Hughes had seen him, and Daphne's appearance was too eye-catching, so the two hurried, and simply bypassed the Armenian capital city of Merika City, "and took a detour to the imperial capital, although when leaving the country, "There were already rebels on the way, and there were many outposts on the border of the Armenian Military District, but Char was there, and it was not a problem to avoid these."

When he finally got out of the Armenian Military District and entered the Osgilia region, Daphne's indifferent face finally changed.

Her eyes began to appear panicked and nostalgic, and when she was hurrying, she "sat on the horse" and hugged Char tightly with her arms, and her arms were so hard that "it seemed to use up all her strength."

When he stopped to rest, Char could feel his clothes wet behind his back!

"What if...... , If ......", Char looked at Daphne" finally softened in her heart, put aside the coldness of the past few days, and whispered: "If you regret it now, it's still too late." I'll take you back and get out of here, okay?"

Daiffini took a deep breath and looked at Char with her eyes open, but she didn't say a word.

Char waited for a while, finally sighed, and walked away silently.

The imperial capital is already shaky.

The two knew very well that this should be the last night before arriving at the imperial capital.

In fact, "if you don't stop to rest, just gallop away" can rush to the imperial capital before dark, but both of them silently acquiesced to this break.

It seems that both Char and Daphany are looking forward to this last night.

After tonight...... It's really over!

After dinner, Daiffini was still sitting by the campfire, looking at the fire and listening to the sound of crackling sparks.

Suddenly, the body warmed, and the felt covered his shoulder.

"Rest early. ”

Char's voice was deep Chinese.

Defani let out a soft "um", but this time, she suddenly grabbed Char's hand holding the felt with her backhand, and gently shook it, and then tilted her head and leaned against the back of Char's hand.

Char stiffened, stood behind the woman, and did not speak.

"Will you leave this felt to me?", Daphany whispered, "This is ...... Have your scent. ”

Char's heart was sour, and he nodded: "Okay." Until this moment, the young man, still holding a glimmer of hope in his heart, only hoped that Daphany would suddenly change his mind.

But he waited a long time, and Dauphinne just clutched his hand and tilted his head on it, but did not say another word.

Char took a deep breath, and his heart gradually cooled.

He knew that there was no hope of turning things around.

"Tomorrow, I'll send you into the city, but I can't send you back to the palace directly. Garcia wants you to die, and if you go to the palace quietly, I'm afraid he'll kill you quietly. I thought about it, only by contacting your family first, I know how to find Roddy, find your brother Roddy, and then hand you over to him, and go back to the palace, he will naturally arrange it. When the time comes, you, the Minas family, will openly escort you back to the palace, and everyone will know about it. Garcia didn't dare to do it for a while, even if he wanted to hurt you, I ...... it", Char said this, gritting his teeth fiercely: "You know very well that if you go back like this, you are sending you to death, right?!"

"Don't worry. Daphany tried his best to make a reluctant smile: "When I go back", he immediately called himself sick and went home to recuperate, a request that Garcia had no excuse to refuse. I went back to my own home to recuperate, and with Roddy and my father protecting me, Garcia couldn't openly send someone to kill me. I...... I'll know it myself. After all, my public identity is the Empress of the Empire, and "whatever he wants to do" will be more restrained. ”

"How long will you have to bear this responsibility?" Char sneered: "You just wait, waiting for him to come up with a way to kill you?", "Waiting for my brother to inherit the title" Wait for my brother to take the throne "When the family's position is stable, then, my mission will be over." At that time, if I hadn't died, I would ......"

Char said lightly: "Even if you can wait until that day, your brother will take the throne, you don't have to support these by yourself, but at that time, you are still the queen" is the queen of the empire. ”

Daphne's body stiffened, and suddenly she turned around and threw herself into Char's arms.

Char wanted to say something, Daphne's soft and cold mouth was already on his mouth!

Her mouth bsp;" Love me. The woman was whispering, "It's the last night, love me so much!"

By the campfire, the two finally hugged each other tightly.

※※※

One night of love, at dawn, Daphne was lying in Char's arms, she looked at the rising sun, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Char gently hugged Daphany and whispered, "Let's go back, okay?" I'll take you back!"

Daiffini took a breath and "wiped the corners of her eyes" and smiled reluctantly: "Don't talk about this, you know my determination." ”

She sat up and lifted the felt covering the two of them, and her red and soft body burst into the morning sun, and Char felt a pain in her heart and turned her head away.

Daiffinne turned around, held Char's face with both hands, and whispered: "Look at me, I want you to look at me" Look at my body, I want you to remember me!"

Under Char's gaze, she stood up naked, put on her clothes one by one, held a comb, and quietly combed her golden hair.

This is a horn comb, which I bought when I was walking. At that time, the two passed by a village and town, Char didn't say much, and when she quietly bought this comb and handed it to Daphany, she only said: "I see you don't have a comb, use this." ”

This is just a crude country goods worth only a few copper horns, and such goods, if they are in their own homes, I am afraid that even the maids in the house will use them a hundred times better than this.

But holding this crude comb, "Daphine seemed to hold the most precious treasure in the world, quietly combed his head, put the comb into his arms, and put it close to his body.

Imperial capital, Ducal Palace of Minas.

The street outside the Duke's Palace was bustling with activity, with sumptuous carriages parked on the side of the road, "The grooms in bright clothes sat on the carriages and waited quietly, and there were some guards and soldiers walking back and forth."

Judging from the badges on the carriages, one is more prominent than the other, "The carriage is also a race of luxury!"

Outside the Duke's Palace, the streets are crowded.

Such a scene, if it was placed more than ten years ago, would have been an ordinary scene. It's just that since the former Emperor Kantos the Great began to deliberately weaken the influence of the Minas family in the imperial ** team, "gradually became suspicious of the Duke of Minas, the Duke of Minas's Mansion, which was once prominent, gradually fell into the cold.

When the Duke of Minas relinquished his last military position and "finally changed from a marshal with imperial military power" to an old nobleman with only the title of duke, the streets in front of the Minas family "have never been so lively."

However, after the rebellion in the imperial capital, the gate of the Duke of Minas's palace, which had been deserted for many years, finally showed a little bit of its former prosperity again.

The times are really unpredictable.

When Cantos the Great was alive, "the Minas family, which had already declined, is now in the time of Emperor Garcia" and has faintly regained the posture again.

The magnates of the imperial capital, "Who is not the sea of eunuchs, who is not born with a pair of poisonous eyes?

The current situation in the empire, anyone with a little care, can judge that the revival of the Minas family seems to be just around the corner!

The Imperial army is now dominated by the Adric family! Although Adrick is upright and loyal, "he has also made great contributions to the Empire."

However, these old oilmen in the imperial capital, who have been immersed in the troubled waters of politics all year round, understand this truth: Adrick is the only family in the army, and he will inevitably be tabooed by the emperor! This is not because Adric's own loyalty is unreliable. But as an emperor, no emperor can tolerate such a situation! Even the founding emperor must weaken the military power of Duke Tulip! No emperor "can tolerate the influence of a military leader in the imperial army beyond his own control!"

To be balanced, there must be 4 differentiations!

To divide Adric's influence in the army, the original layout of the royal family was in the general Span. If Spann were alive, Span's origin, the Imperial Guard's qualifications, and his contributions to the Battle of Osgillia would have been enough to rival Adric in the army.

But Spann is dead!

Died at the last moment of the end of the war!

This made the royal family's strategy of balancing and dividing the military "suddenly fail!"

There are only two ways to divide Adric's too large influence in the army: Or, step on Adric directly!

Now that the national crisis is at hand, the empire needs a name like Adrick to support the edifice that will collapse in the future.

Moreover, Adrick has outstanding military achievements, is loyal and upright, and has an excellent reputation. At such times, "if you attack him, I am afraid that it will cause a mutiny in the army and a strong backlash from the military."

Then the only way is to find a figure who can compete with Adric and divide the current monolithic situation in the army.

Come to think of it, the only one who has the qualifications and the ability to do this is only one name!

Minas!

If it is said about seniority, no matter how outstanding Adric is, he will definitely lose his feats when compared to the Duke of Minas!

The Duke of Minas was a horse all his life, and almost most of the high-ranking generals in the army were once his subordinates or disciples.

Compared with the merits, the Duke of Minas's military exploits are outstanding, and the prestige established by his decades of military career is also incomparable to that of Adric, a middle-aged general.

Even though he has been snubbed by the royal family for many years, the tiger is old and heroic! If you want to find a character who can compete with Adric, the Minas family is the best candidate!

What's more, if it is more intimate than the royal family, the daughter of the Minas family is a genuine queen! She is the wife of the emperor! It can be regarded as a line of the royal family!

Seeing the resurgence of the Minas family, it is already unstoppable.

Even the prime minister, Salon Bonili, has entered the palace many times to talk secretly with Emperor Garcia.

The Prime Minister had repeatedly suggested that the Emperor must reinstate the Minas family.

This suggestion of the old prime minister, Sarun Bonili, is naturally pertinent and very much in line with the current situation. But such a reasonable suggestion to Emperor Garcia "never received a clear answer."

In the prime minister's opinion, this is the best way out now, although Emperor Garcia is a little "but not stupid", he should understand that this is a good policy!

But why, has it been slow to let go?

Although Salon Bonili also vaguely knew that His Majesty the Emperor himself had a "special hobby...... he also vaguely understood that the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress himself was definitely not very good. But he is a statesman, and in his opinion, as an emperor, this kind of problem must give way to big things, and when it is needed, what should be done, "what should not be done, the emperor must have the emperor's decision!"

Whether the relationship between husband and wife is good or not, in the face of national affairs, it is simply something that has no value to mention.

Salon Boneli thought so, but the emperor did not express his position for a long time, which made the prime minister very headache and puzzled.

Such a simple thing, such a clear situation" What else is there to hesitate about?

But the emperor did not let go, as a prime minister, he could only suggest many times, and he could not force the emperor to make a decision.

The time dragged on for a long time, and Salon Bonili couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart: national affairs, life and death, how long will His Majesty the Emperor delay it?!

The magnates of the imperial capital began to follow the path of the Minas family again, and in the past few days, there have been many distinguished guests, "Those old nobles are busy coming to the door to find the old duke to make friends, and the emerging magnates are busy trying to curry favor with the lord of Rodi."

For a time, this father and son were hot in the imperial capital.

But this father and son still kept a low profile, although the guests who visited almost lined up every day, but the old duke was sick and closed the door, "Only a powerful elder of the empire who is really a high-ranking and powerful empire is qualified to enter the duke's palace to see the old duke and gossip."

And that lord Roddy "is even more decisive", he reports to the military department every day, and this lord has the position of an imperial reserve officer, but he has been pressed by the Duke of Minas, "never awarded a real title, and the reserve officer" is only fixed to report to the imperial capital and do some unimportant civilian work.

Although Luo Di is not as low-key as his father, he rarely makes friends with others these days, and the duke pushes down all the invitations of the magnates of the imperial capital or various banquets. Every day after ordering in the imperial capital, he went home directly to practice martial arts behind closed doors.

The duke, who had lived an unruly life, now lived almost like an ascetic.

The more low-key the father and son were, the more others believed that this was a deliberate gesture made by the father and son when they knew that a revival was in sight.

The prime minister, Salon Bonelly, also visited the old duke twice, but the old duke only gossiped with him, and shirked all the things in the army that the old prime minister tried between his words, saying only that he had been discharged from the army for many years, and had long been tired of military affairs, and was unwilling to express any opinions.

The old one is slippery and does not keep his hands, and the emperor does not soak in oil and salt and does not express his position, so that the old prime minister really has a powerful irritability.

"Your Majesty, what the hell is he waiting for! What the hell is he thinking!!", every night when he returned home, the prime minister was puzzled in the study, and there was always an urge to smash the table!

Although the emperor's hesitation and hesitation were too stupid in the eyes of the prime minister, if he had changed to a short-tempered one, he would have shouted out "faint king" long ago. But Salen Bonelli is the prime minister of Togu chosen by the emperor, and he is also an important minister of the empire who Garcia leans on, and his fate has been firmly tied to the royal family.

Salen Bonelli was even more worried about one thing: if the time dragged on too late, I am afraid that the Minas family would be dissatisfied!

If you win over the Minas family as soon as possible, the situation will naturally be happy!

But now, the entire imperial capital is looking at the Minas family, but the emperor just doesn't speak, after a long time, if the Minas family is dissatisfied, when the time comes, the situation is not beautiful.

With this in mind, the prime minister visited the Duke of Minas again, and his words were tentative, but the old duke did not express his dissatisfaction at all, but only talked about some past events, and showed a leisurely and tranquil posture.

But the more the Duke of Minas was so breezy and calm, the more uneasy the Prime Minister became!

Can't put it off any longer!

If it drags on any longer, it annoys the Minas family, and the old man simply shakes his hand and really doesn't care, when the time comes, where will he find a military figure who can compete with Adric?!

The prime minister had no choice but to enter the palace again to meet the emperor.

This time, Salon Bonelli simply had a heartbreak in his heart, and when he saw Garcia, he finished saluting and "directly picked out his intention!"

"What the hell are you waiting for!"
