"Melariel!" Aracet wrapped his arms around the girl's waist and caressed her face with the other. Merariel's smooth and delicate skin always fascinates him. "Why are you here?"

"Her Majesty the Queen sent me to prison. Melarel smiled, and wrapped her hand around her lover's neck as a little girl would do. "She asked me to bring a prisoner out. ”

"Prisoner?" Aracet's mind only thought for a moment, and he immediately guessed who the prisoner the queen was going to see. "Could it be...... Which one?"

"You guessed it. Merarel let go of his hand. "I'm leaving, dear, you haven't been enthusiastic about me lately......"

"My passion will always be there for you only. "Aracyet's mouth is a typical lie for pickled girls. "But my dear, I've been planning to leave for a while. ”

"What are you leaving?" asked Melariel, surprised.

"I'm going on an expedition with Prince Ashrufat. The young elven nobleman looked excited. "I've decided. If Prince Ashrufat's expedition plan is to be realized, he will inevitably need a recorder, and I will ask the Queen for this position, and the Queen will agree. ”

Of course, there is one more detail that Allasette has not yet discussed. He had already guessed that Garth was also going to serve as the prince's lieutenant, so that he would not have to worry about his lover when he set out on this adventure.

While it's not a pleasure to share the truth with that guy from Garth - the problem is that he's been working with Garth all the time, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Since they each have official duties, the two lovers can only talk for a short time before separating. Here Aracet awaited the return of Prince Ashrufat.

If you go to see the Mother of Dragons, the mountain is not easy to climb. Every elf knows that dragons that are not properly trained are actually moody and dangerous beasts. Instinctively, Aracet felt that Prince Ashrufat would not encounter any danger, and that he would surely return safely. However, after climbing such a mountain, even the prince must be exhausted, and it is inevitable that his body will be dirty. When the prince returns, he will definitely need to bathe and change his clothes before coming to see the queen, so the time it will take must be ...... While estimating the approximate time, he bored himself with a book to pass the time.

It turned out that Aracet's prediction was correct, because he had waited a long time. He watched as Melarel left the palace, and he watched as Melarel entered the palace to meet the queen, and he watched as several other officers—in other words, Garth's men—were summoned, but Prince Essrubat was slow to appear.

Just as he was starting to feel a little uneasy (as it is well known that going to the mountains is quite dangerous), he went to the window to look around, only to see a figure coming from the end of the street. Just by seeing the size of the elves, which was quite different from the ordinary elves, Aracet knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

He immediately returned to his place and was ready, and as a close servant of the Queen, he must face the Queen's guests in perfect posture at all times.

Prince Ashruphat walked in with a few of his retinue, and as Aracet had expected, the prince had changed his clothes. Or to be more specific, he's wearing a military uniform at the moment.

"Your Royal Highness. Before the prince could speak, Allasset saluted. "You're finally back, and Her Majesty the Queen is waiting for you. ”

He made an intelligible gesture to the men, and they all stopped, leaving the prince alone to follow him.

"Your Royal Highness, I have read the ...... you wrote Operational planning. Arose walked a few steps and said suddenly.

"Oh. I don't know if Prince Lu Dao was thinking about something else or something, but he just answered casually.

"Your plan has been approved by the Phoenix King. Allasset hesitated, and at last told the prince about it. It was a little inappropriate, but it was nothing, for he was sure that when the prince came to see her, she would tell him about it. There is no essential difference between knowing the Tao a few minutes earlier and knowing it a few minutes later.

This time Prince Ashruphat reacted, he stopped and looked at Aracet. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, there is a Ling Ran momentum on the prince at this moment, maybe it is just an illusion of Aracet, in short, he feels an inexplicable tension, his throat is dry, and his body is stiff.

"Say this to me for nothing. After a few seconds of silence, the prince asked.

"I would like to go with you if I can. Aracet said.

"You look...... Not like a warrior, not a magician. The prince looked at Aracet carefully and said.

"Yes, I'm not really good at using weapons. "Allasset admits that he had only a general aristocratic education and was not particularly proficient in all kinds of weapons. Of course, this standard of "special proficiency" is relative to the nobility of the elves, especially those officers. It is important to know that every elven nobleman has spent decades or even centuries training in combat, and is ready to take up arms and go to the battlefield at any time. "I want to be the recorder and keep a complete record of your expedition. ”

"It's ...... What does the Emerald Queen mean?" Prince Ashrufat asked, after a moment's hesitation.

"It is my personal will, Your Highness the Prince. However, if you allow it, I will make a request to Her Majesty the Queen, and I am sure that Her Majesty will not refuse. ”

"Why do you have this idea?"

"Your Royal Highness, I have been serving in the Emerald Court for over forty years. Every day, I look through the history that someone else has written down. Every day, I read the ancient memories of our golden age, the heroic and glorious past of our ancestors. Every time I read this, I can't help but have this ambition: I also want to do something great in the 'recorder' industry, and I want to record a legend with my own hands for future generations to look up to. ”

"If the Queen agrees, I certainly won't object. The prince smiled and replied.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness the Prince, let's go. ”

It was a long and not long journey, and Ashruphat soon came to the entrance of the temple where he had been before. As on the previous occasion, Aracet made a respectful gesture to let the prince go in and stop himself.

Ashruphat walked into the temple alone. He was already ready for the Jade Queen to change her face and the two sides to start a battle. The Mother of Dragons hadn't killed him, and perhaps the Jade Queen wouldn't give up. But what the elf named Aracet had said just now made him very puzzled.

"Master, this is called 'betting on both sides'. In her mind, Carrie said. "On the one hand, you are asked to meet the dragon, and on the other hand, you are weighed and considered for your proposal. This is a very common mindset of superiors. Be careful, though," Carrie explained. "It's stupid to use this method unless you have an absolute advantage, and it's not pleasing to either side. ”

By this time, Ashruphat had already entered the main hall. Ahead of him, he saw the Phoenix guards lined up in a phalanx. But they stood on the side of the temple, and they didn't look hostile in any way.

The queen still sat on the throne, but there were several strange elves that Ashrufat did not know. They looked at Essrubat differently, but at least Ashrufat didn't feel any obvious hostility.

Ashrufat walked all the way to the front of the Queen, under the steps where the Queen's throne was located, and bowed.

"Prince Ashrufat," the queen's voice was haughty and calm. "I've seen your plans, and I'm willing to support them as much as I can. ”

Ashrufat looked up at the Emerald Queen.

"Unfortunately, though, because Tyrien doesn't have too many soldiers, I can't just provide you with an army. But I am willing to lend you as many soldiers as I can, and lend you my guards, my phoenix guards. The Emerald Queen declared loudly. Ashruphat looked at the Phoenix guards on the side. The captain of the Phoenix Guard in the lead owed a debt and said that he received the order.

"They will obey you as they obey me, and they will be your guards, born with you and die. The Emerald Queen said. "In addition, I will provide you with a couple of suitable lieutenants. This one is Garth, the commander of the Tyrian garrison, who is well versed in the art of war and is familiar with military affairs, and will surely be able to provide you with reliable help. ”

The elf named Garth stepped forward and bowed to Ashrufat.

"I've got another lieutenant for you. The queen gestured to her side, and an elf stepped forward. Ashrufat immediately noticed that the other party was wearing shackles on his hands. But it didn't matter right away, because Ashrufat met the other man's eyes.

Since coming to Ussuan, all the elves that Ashruphat has seen have been handsome in appearance, graceful in their movements, richly dressed and neat, and very polite in their daily lives. But this genie is completely different. It's hard to describe the temperament of this elf, if I have to say, it's wild. The elf looked young, but there was a startlingly wildness that radiated from all over his body. His expression was contemptuous, his gaze was cold, and a hundred sarcastic smiles lurked in the corners of his mouth. And these contempt and contempt are very blatantly manifested, without any disguise.

If Eshuruphat was not mistaken, the elf was not targeting him. He targeted everyone present, including the Emerald Queen.

"My name is Kaye. The elf raised his hand and gestured for the handcuffs. "Prince Ashrufat, right? They said that if I came to be your lieutenant, they would forgive me for my crimes. He said in an understated tone.

Elf etiquette dictates that you can't just say your name in your self-introduction. Otherwise, it is either self-respecting of one's identity and bloodline, or it is a deliberate insult. And this Kaye is clearly the latter.

"This is Kaye," the queen frowned slightly. "He is an experienced commander who has fought countless battles with the Durus, so he is very familiar with the Durus, and has even set foot on the land of Nagaros, so I believe this experience will be useful to you. ”
