Volume I: The End of the Outlaw 44
The dinner party is still a grand dinner, but the protagonists are not Oriden, but the two mages of Dalaran. It turned out that Dalaran had sent someone to deliver an invitation to Djandish Barov to study in Dalaran.
Oriden's eyes were full of contempt and disdain, and he didn't know if it was because he had been robbed of the limelight or for some other reason. Even when Duke Barov introduced the two to him, Oriden responded lukewarmly.
I leaned against the wall behind the crown prince and observed the movements of the people around me.
Suddenly, a guard came in from outside, and exchanged words with the butler, whose name was Lusen Sakhof, who hurried over to Lord Barov, and the two of them began to talk in a low voice. Barov's face instantly became a little ugly.
Lord Barov nodded, and the butler walked out. He turned and walked towards Oriden.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, something happened." He lowered his voice.
Oriden tilted his head to look at him, "What's wrong?" ”
"My patrol has encountered bandits, and bandits have infiltrated my territory."
"Oh? Really? When was this? In your territory? Not far from here? "Oriden instantly came to his senses.
"At the border, not too far, I've sent people to gather troops, hoping to withstand their raids."
"It's already like this, we should be more united, right? Your Excellency. ”
"Yes, tomorrow I will send an escort to ensure the safety of His Highness and funds." Barov said.
I can't understand how the bandits have penetrated into this place.
I don't know how happy Oriden was when he heard the news, but the smile on his face told me he was happy now.
After sending off the crown prince, I turned into a gecko again under the eaves outside the window, quietly listening to the conversation of the Barov father and son.
"There's no need to rush Jandice's itinerary." The old man said, "The gifts for those pointed hats have been prepared in the next few days." Jendis is thirteen years old this year, and you, the father, should have thought about marriage for her earlier. ”
"I'm thinking about it, what does my father mean?"
"It's a real headache, there is no reliable guy, and the surrounding family is a fool except for a fool. Although Oridon would be the future king, he is also a fool, and I will never hand over Jandis to him. ”
"We will control him, and we will already control him, everything is arranged, Duke Facurrest's men are ready."
"Well, what's his reaction tonight?"
"He was very happy when he heard the news."
"Well, then let him be happy for a few more days. This time things must be done to perfection, Facurrest is too impulsive, he has always had an opinion about the Pirenod family, don't let him hurt this little cub. ”
"Facurrest still wants that forest farm."
"Then give it to him, you have to satisfy the dog's greed first. Give the letter to Winston. ”
"Yes."
"Today Jandis said she met one of Ouridon's guards, the guy who claimed to be the killer. He also scared her. Do you know that guy? ”
"I don't know about that."
"I don't know where the country man came from, not for the sake of Oriden's face, you should go and educate him tonight on how to respect the people of the Barov family, or simply pull out his tongue."
"I'll warn Oriden."
"Stand down, oh yes, it's nice to find a reliable guy in Kenrito."
"What?"
"It's better to marry an archmage than those fools in the palace."
"I'll keep an eye on it."
Hanging outside, I felt a little diaphragm in my heart. Slipping down from above, I went straight to Winston's room.
"I was looking for you." Winston said.
"I've got something to take care of."
"You're leaving tomorrow, remember what I said?"
"Yes."
"What did I say?"
I looked at him in a little surprise, and he just stared at me. "Protect the Crown Prince's safety from harm, and kill Goffrey before reaching Talenmir. Uh, let him kill himself. ”
He nodded, then picked up a letter from the table and handed it to me.
I took it, isn't this the "perhaps necessary job" of Able? I looked at the stamp on the letter, and then looked up at Winston.
"Familiar? When Gofrey died, he put it in his desk. He said.
I nodded.
"There are reports tonight that bandits have also appeared in Barov's territory." I say
"I see."
"Who is Facurrest?"
"A duke, what are you asking for?"
"I'm an Alterac man, and if I didn't know Facurrest, the crown prince might have an idea." I continued: "But I've heard that this man is famous. I should have some social information to help me work. I said.
"That's a duke, and you'll pass through his territory on your way back."
"The crown prince seems to have a little bit of a complaint against him."
"Well, historical issues, Facurrest has some grudges with the crown prince." He looked at me and said.
"The crown prince doesn't seem to have a good impression of those two mages today."
"His sister is in Dalaran."
"Oh?"
"Make a private agreement with a mage for life. It's not very pleasant. This guy doesn't seem to have a crush on the mage all along, and besides, he and his sister are said to be a little confused. ”
"Things are always strange in the aristocracy, huh...... However, the territory of the Barov family seems to be large. ”
"Hmm."
"But Talenmir isn't his yet."
Winston didn't speak, but his gaze seemed to change.
"I want to take a vacation after this mission." I say.
"You have to ask His Royal Highness the Living Prince." Winston said.
