Verse 82

Ashrufat smiled, but did not answer. With the increase in contact with each other and getting along, he began to feel that in a sense, in fact, the little girl does have the potential to become a queen, not to mention anything else, just at this age, she has basically mastered a lot of complicated courses, but ......

"By the way, Ashrufat, the last time you played the piano was really good. The little girl changed the subject. "Can you play another song for me?" she said, pulling out a harp from a corner at the edge of the room.

"It was given to me by someone else, and it is said to be a rare piece of the piano. The harp in the little girl's hand is silvery-white, not in the shape of an ordinary harp, but in the shape of an outstretched wing.

Eshurufat snatched the piano from the little girl's hand. His movements were so sudden that the little girl was startled. Ashrufat held the harp, his arm trembling slightly.

"Dry ...... Do...... Ah......h

Eshurufat touched the "Silver Wings" in his hand. This is not a human artifact, but an elven artifact. But this instrument is very new, and it has no signs of age, no wear, let alone the marks left by the user. This is a new instrument that has only been made in the past two years, and it is not the one he once owned. I guess in recent years, I think I got it from the elves through trade.

The boiling memories in his mind slowly faded, and when everything calmed down, Ashrufat realized that he had not remembered anything, the only thing he could remember was that he had owned a "Silver Wing" a long time ago.

"I'm sorry, I just ...... Something came to mind. ”

"Have you regained your memory?" the little girl asked in surprise.

"......No," Ashrufat smiled bitterly, "but I remembered a little bit of the past: I must have owned a piano of this shape in the past...... I've played ...... with this instrument many times. ”

"Well, this is not an ordinary piano, it is an instrument made by the Divine Warrior Elves. According to the person who gave the gift, even for the elves, this is not an ordinary item, but a high-end treasure. Okay, Ashrufat, can you play the last tune? ”

Ashruphat quickly tuned the strings. Although it is actually a different instrument, it is still a silver wing, and the feeling of playing is still much better than that of ordinary instruments. Soon, the sound of the piano became the only sound in this space, and the little girl held her chin and listened to it stupidly. At the end of the song, it still took a lot of effort for her to come back to her senses.

"It's really great. The little girl reminisced about the music just now. "It's a ...... A piece of music that expresses people's state of mind. She tilted her head and said as she recalled. "Sadness, pain...... Not understood...... Yes, it's a lonely song. Only such a song can make people cry unconsciously. ”

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands. "By the way, Ashrufat, do you want any other tunes? I've got several tunes here!"

The little girl's hand flipped over and took out a thin booklet from the table. That's the score of a song.

It is not too difficult for a luthier to play an unfamiliar tune. After a short while, Ashrufat played the piece once. It's a cheerful tune, more of a country tune than formal music. The little girl listened and hummed to the beat of the music. To be honest, I really don't know where the little girl learned this tune.

"By the way, there's another tune here. The little girl pulled out another sheet of music, "Can you play this for me?"

"What is this?"

"A parting song. The little girl said. "This is what Garunas, the sage of the wilderness, left behind. ”

"What?Garunas?" said Ashrufat, who was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, the founder of Gruni is not only good at martial arts, but also good at music. But then again, Garunas was called a "sage" rather than a "general" or "master" or anything like that, which in itself proves that this man was very knowledgeable, and not limited to military strategies and the like.

He read the score, and the song not only had a tune, but also lyrics. So he quickly began to play, and when he played, he unconsciously began to sing the song.

“...... I have met you sincerely, and I am chasing this dream...... I have met your sincere arm, and you have taken me out of trouble......"

This song is mixed with the indescribable pain of parting, and it is not a song woven with skill, but with a heart. It doesn't make people cry, but it can make people feel this unforgettable reluctance. So even Ashruphat himself quickly immersed himself in the music he played, and it was not until near the end of the song that he realized that the little girl was dancing to the beat.

It must be said that in fact, the little girl is very talented in music and dance. Although she is very young, she has basically mastered the key points and know-how of dancing, so she is perfect in both movement and dancing.

The song stopped, and the little girl was still dancing. Perhaps because of her natural musicality, she was immersed in music much longer than Eshurufat. After about a minute or two, the little girl stopped. She couldn't help but blush when she noticed Ashrufat staring at her.

"Actually, I've always wanted to choreograph a dance for this song. She said softly and quickly. "It's a pity that my mother-in-law doesn't play the piano well...... So I just gave it a try. ”

"No, that's good, you danced very well. Ashrufat said with a smile. "If one day, you can't be a queen, at least you can be a dancer. ”

"You play well, but you don't sing well. The little girl didn't answer. Having said that, Ashrufat realized that he had spoken too much. In the past, when the little girl heard the phrase "You can't be a queen", she probably immediately became angry, but this time she didn't care for some reason.

In order to prove her words, the little girl immediately sang this song once. Although Ashrufat didn't want to admit it, it must be said that the little girl sang much better than him. Of course, this is also partly due to the fact that this song is originally graceful, and it is more suitable for women to sing than men.

The familiar clangle of metal could be heard in the distance. Because Ashrufat had heard it many times, he knew that the sound meant that a small group of Praetorian Guards was coming this way.

"Is there an impromptu Imperial Council today?" asked Eshurufat, confused.

"No!" replied the little girl, puzzled.

Eshurufat jumped up, although theoretically the Praetorian Guard and he were colleagues and would not pose any threat to the queen, but for now the theory must be linked to practice.

"Your Majesty, is Master Ashrufat inside?" a polite voice came from the door.

Why did you come to me?" Ashrufat was even more puzzled, and he pushed the door open, and there were three Praetorian Guard soldiers outside the door. It wasn't the squad he expected, and there were no officers to take the lead, what happened?

"Grand Master of the Court, Lord Skadera is looking for you. "This Praetorian Guard soldier clearly knows Eshurufat. Of course, this is normal, they will patrol and pass by here many times a day, and I don't know how many times Lu Dao has met them when he was standing guard at the door in the past.

"Skadra......" Ashruphat asked, "is there anything urgent?"

"Ah, we're just conveying the words of Lord Skadra. The soldier replied. "But nothing seems to have happened, probably some special task to be entrusted to you. ”

Skadera was Ashrufat's immediate superior. Although his job was to protect the Queen, he could not ignore Skadra's orders. A few minutes later, Ashrufat, accompanied by the soldiers, arrived at Skadra's office. At this moment, in this office, in addition to Skadra, there were seven or eight people whom Ashrufat had not seen. At the head was a middle-aged man dressed as a government official, while the others were fully armed soldiers. They were not palace guards, because the equipment varied greatly.

"This is Ashrufat. Skadra saw Ashruphat come in and immediately introduced himself to the strangers. Then he turned his head to Ashrufat. "Ashrufat, this is the commander of the garrison of Eagle Falcon City, and he has an important business to look for you. ”

"You're Ashrufat? Ashrufat from Brasian?" the Commander looked Ashrufat up and down. "Your current position as the Queen's personal bodyguard?"

"That's right, it's me. Ashrufat replied.

"Good, that's right. The commander of the garrison nodded. "Grab him and take him away. He ordered his subordinates.

As soon as these words came out, both Ashrufat and Skadra were taken aback. Skadera immediately stood in front of them, "Excuse me, what is this for?"

"A time for official business. The Commander replied. "Lord Skadra, this Mr. Essrubat has committed a crime, and we are here to arrest him. In the name of the law. ”

"Arrest him, what crime did he commit? As his superior, I should have the right to know this when you arrest him. Skadera replied.

"Ah, of course, I beg your pardon for forgetting to explain. The Commander pulled out a document. "According to the testimonies of many people, our Monsieur Ishrufat once had a duel with a nobleman named Basadoni. I'm right, Mr. Ashrufat, I'm sure you yourself won't deny it. ”

"That's right, but it's a legitimate duel. Ashrufat replied. He has a lot of witnesses on hand. "Besides, it turned out that Barsadoni was a cultist. Was it wrong for me to kill him?"

"If you are an aristocrat, then what you are doing is perfectly legal. But are you a nobleman?" a mocking smile appeared on the Commander's face. "To be called a nobleman, at least he should have the title of knight, do you?"

Indeed, legally speaking, Ashrufat is not a nobleman at the moment, he can only be regarded as a "squire nobleman" at best. Many people confuse the squire aristocracy with the real nobility. In Eagle Falcon City, except for those who pay special attention to blood origin, the vast majority of nobles see it this way (even if it is common for them to marry each other). But legally, the two are still not the same. In fact, Ashruphat originally came all the way to Eagle Falcon City to be this personal guard in order to get the knighthood.

"But...... That Basadoni is a cultist......" the Grand Director tried to retort.

"Ah, that's another story. According to the law, Mr. Essrubat, as a civilian, is not qualified to fight a duel. His crime was 'private fighting'. Lord Skadra, we are on official business, please get out of the way!"
