The noble lords stood in place, watching intently as the dark green flames and thick fog that seemed to ignite half of the sky gradually dissipated.

The skeleton horses marched along with the green ghostfire, leaving burning footprints wherever they passed.

Although the horses' steps were chaotic, the strange thing was that the sound of horses' hooves did not sound, and they swept across the land like a team of ghosts.

The two carriages in which the Grand Duke and his entourage were riding, burning with ghostly fires, also silently disappeared into the thick fog.

August also stood in place, smiling at the ashes of the luminous green sparks fluttering in the air.

Looking at the departing convoy, he asked the surrounding nobles:

"What do you think of this Princess Aurelian?"

A nobleman next to him replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty, although this Princess Aurelian is young, she can be calm and unfrightening in front of so many of us."

"It can only be said that the etiquette of the empire is indeed good enough."

A nobleman nodded and took over the conversation.

"The most important thing is the identity of the other party, she could have been less polite."

If the other party is just an ordinary princess, then forget it.

However, she is a princess of the Carencian Empire......

The emperor of the empire is recognized as a warrior who stands at the top of the world.

Even after all the years of the kingdom's development of warriors, no one has ever come close to the level of Oberly.

Not to mention surpassing him.

What grade is Oberly? What rank do they have?

Not to mention that Aurelian is also the granddaughter of Grand Duke Barlow.

What rank is Grand Duke Barlow and what rank are they?

What, not heavyweight enough?

Add one more Victor, is it enough for a heavyweight?

There is a high-ranking background in the two countries, and even the support of the Mage Council.

Aurelian can walk sideways in any country.

However, she still has a diplomatic attitude to bring to the empire, and treats people with kindness and kindness.

Even in the face of the lords of these kingdoms, they still behaved very politely.

At the same time, it is very easy for them to have a strong impression of it.

August nodded, and asked Laurien on the side:

"Count Laurean, you were the one who greeted the princess yesterday, what do you think of her?"

Laurion pondered for a moment and replied:

"Princess Aurelian is very nice, I think she should be a kind person."

At the mention of Aurelian's comfort to the maid, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

It was a strange thing for the princess to comfort the maid.

That's why he was confident that Aurelian would help him ask for it.

Hearing the praise of the princess, August seemed very satisfied.

"I see."

"It seems that this princess not only has an amazing background but also enough talent."

"She also has a very good character."

At this time, he looked at Hilda on the side again, and raised his eyebrows, with a little seriousness.

"Hilda, today, you did a little poorly."

"How can we get a distinguished guest to fight?"

Hilda, too, knew that she had made a mistake and bowed her head in shame.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't help myself."

She closed her eyes, and her heart twisted into a hemp rope.

"I know, because you're going to say it."

"At least let me know that this princess is not just a vase."

August smiled and patted Hilda on the shoulder, and then, as if casually, continued:

"Perhaps, this princess doesn't have a spouse yet?"

The ghost convoy had disappeared at the end of the road, and the breeze was gentle.

His words began to reverberate melodiously across the earth with the breath of the wind.

All the noble lords nodded their heads with thoughtful expressions.

Only Hilda bowed her head, did not say a word, and her expression was gloomy.

……

The bright moon casts a silvery white light on the earth.

Glowing green ghostfire intertwined with moonlight, dotted with eerie stars swimming under the night sky.

In midair, ghostly fires burned, accompanied by thick smoke, and the flame-wrapped undead horses marched rapidly, shuttling through the deep forest.

The horses circled around a wagon, also set fire on fire, and rushed in the designated direction.

Curiously, despite the movement of the horse's hooves and wheels, there was no sound.

The only sound was the distant chime of a bell under the night sky, which seemed to warn passers-by of the approaching ghost.

Wherever the convoy passed, the ground left traces of gradual dissipation.

Soon, the convoy drove out of the dense forest, and in front of it was a majestic city.

The flag here is marked with a green logo, and on the top of the flag, it seems to burn a ghost fire similar to that of a horse-drawn carriage.

The emblem on the banner was the crest of the Barlow family.

The sheer size of the city resembles a silent city at night, surrounded by a dark green atmosphere, with occasional dark shadows in the windows.

The entire castle was silent and mysterious in the moonlight, especially the ghostly fire around the tower, which made it even more eerie.

With a faint green light, the huge city gate slowly opened.

Under the cover of thick fog, the convoy quickly drove in, as if entering a dark tunnel.

The faint green light of the fire was unusually bright in the darkness, and although it was a little eerie, it brought a glimmer of light to the darkness.

At this time, Barlow said publicly:

"We're here."

As his words fell, the whole city seemed to be breathed into life, awakening the vitality of the depths of the earth.

Green flames emerge from the ground and surround the territory.

The originally dim street lamps were lit one by one, as if a huge wave was sweeping across the earth.

At the end of the lamp were huge castle towers, and the flames expanded again at the top of each tower, like a cluster of fire swaying its massive body.

The knights drove their horses out of the tunnel, and when they looked up, they were attracted by the great flames.

The flame seemed to come to life, twisting its body in front of everyone and bowing slightly.

The knights took hold of the reins and slowly stopped their horses, while the carriage continued deeper into the city.

On the way, it is flanked by towering and ancient buildings in which ghost fire flows.

But in such a huge city, there is not a single passerby.

The knights followed closely behind, and they looked at the desolate city and felt a sense of loneliness and emptiness.

Until the convoy drove into a vast manor.

The house is wide, and behind the iron gate with green fireflies, there is a road that leads in all directions.

The manor house is a labyrinth with gardens.

All that remained of the courtyard was a wide road through which the carriage could pass.

This grand mansion resembles a small castle, and its walls are surrounded by ghostly flames, like the cloak of a psychedelic castle.

At the top of the tower, clusters of ghostly fires burn and bloom dark green flowers.

When the group reached the courtyard, the skeleton horses bowed down respectfully.

The knights and the sub-men all rolled over and dismounted.

And the dark green flames burning on their bodies also dissipated the moment their feet touched the ground.

The twelve foreign ministers stood on the courtyard path with solemn expressions, staring at the Ghost Flame with fear on their faces, their hearts uneasy.

After all, it was the first time they had dealt with the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Kanter.

I don't know how strange the temper of this grand duke is.

But can a person who can live in such a strange environment have a good temper?

The foreign ministers swept their gaze over the surrounding flower beds.

Despite the bleak environment, the flowers are still slim and red.

The crowd entered the mansion, but not a single servant came to meet them.

The cold wind brought a gloomy chill, and the courtyard was so empty that it seemed to be lonely.

Could it be that the Grand Duke lives here alone?

At this time, Archduke Barlow also got out of the carriage, and Aurelian followed Victor's footsteps.

In the next second, Grand Duke Barlow struck the ground with his cane in hand.

With a 'bang', the surrounding green smoke suddenly dissipated.

The carriage of the undead and the horses turned into white bone meal, which gradually dissipated in the air.

Everyone present looked at their surroundings in a daze.

When the green smoke completely cleared, the night sky became incredibly clear.

The moon shines brighter, and countless stars are like white pearls set in the black sky, sprinkling a serene light.

The lights in the mansion shine through the windows, and a warm glow streams out.

The green ghost fire has gradually returned to normal, and the road is clear and bright.

Suddenly, Aurelian stood still, staring straight ahead.

Countless servants stood in front of them, lined up in two sides, bowing in unison to the crowd.

"Finally, home."

Grand Duke Barlow said lightly, then glanced down at Aurelian.

From her face, I saw a look of surprise.

"This is also ...... It's amazing. ”

For the first time in her life, she experienced such a scene, as if she had suddenly been connected from one corner of the world to another.

So Archduke Barlow turned his head again.

"The place we have just crossed is the abode of the dead, so our carriage is free to move there.

"This is also the fastest way to get back here besides teleporting magic."

"But when they come to the realm of the living, they should leave on their own initiative."

Archduke Barlow refers to the horses and carriages that have quietly dissipated,

After the green fog disappears, it means that everyone has returned to the realm of the living.

Naturally, they will dissipate.

"The dead should not set foot in the territory of the living, and the living should not disturb the peace of the dead."

Hearing this, Aurelian was in a trance.

She thought of her mother.

She heard that her mother, who had died in childbirth, was buried here.

Aurelian came to the kingdom, to her ancestral home, where she had never set foot before.

A large part of this is because I want to visit my mother, whom I have never met.

So Aurelian asked:

"Grandpa, my mother...... Where is she buried? ”

"I wish I could see her."

Grand Duke Barlow listened to Aurelian's words and did not look back.

There was only an indifferent voice, which sounded slowly:

"You'll see her."

"But not now."
