Chapter One Hundred and Five: Side Hall

Thinking all the way, the carriage didn't know when it stopped.

There was a faint sound of music outside, which seemed to be a combination of multiple instruments, but it was distinct and not cluttered.

"Two, here. The driver reminded.

Gerra opened the door, jumped out of the carriage, and helped Lucarin down.

It was the end of a road, deserted, with no buildings but black metal arches and white stone walls stretching from both sides, except for patches of open grass.

Half of the black arch is open, and inside is a wide stone-slab corridor that leads far into an open-air garden.

On one side of the corridor was a row of guards, all dressed in silver armor, looking imposing.

The music that Gehr heard came from a white spire-like building behind the guards, where the banquet was supposed to be held.

While Gehr was observing the situation, three more carriages arrived, and some people dressed as nobles got out of the carriages and headed towards the banquet hall under the guidance of the attendants.

"Is that Mr. Griezmann?"

A tall and handsome young man walked over, dressed in a combination of a white shirt and a red waistcoat, similar to that of the attendants, except that the color of the vest was different.

"I am. Gehr glanced at the man dressed as an attendant.

"Please come with me, this way. The attendant gave Gehr and Lucarin a faint look, then turned and headed down the hallway.

Gehr and Lucarin followed him down the hallway.

While passing through the guards' defensive zone, Gehr noticed that the squire's route was inconsistent with that of the other nobles, and instead went in the other direction.

"Didn't I go with them?" Gell pointed to the other nobles.

The attendant glanced at Gehr.

"You should be honored. Your Highness has decided to summon you separately in the side hall. They were heading directly to the banquet hall. ”

Gehr and Lucarin looked at each other and nodded. Continued to keep up with the squire.

The trio walked briskly through the white hallway, which was unusually wide. It is about six or seven meters wide, and the high dome is hollowed out with many gorgeous patterns, and you can hear the corresponding crisp footsteps at every step when you walk on the smooth white stone floor.

Walk through the corridor and walk to the side of the open-air garden.

The Terrace Garden is a stepped building, with the top floor being a sky garden, filled with shrubs, lawns, and flowers, with peacocks with their feathers minus moving freely, and several floors below are replicas of the top sky garden. At the bottom is a wide pool, and the lamps and lanterns on the edge of the pool are shining brightly, and the fish in it swim freely in the pool.

The water of the pool is living water, there is a small waterfall not far away that constantly fills the pool, and a waterway guides the water of the pool to the extreme of the horizon that cannot be seen at a glance, what makes Gehr strange is that a mechanical device that can be described as stupid and thick black is placed on the side of the waterfall, this mechanical Geer has seen it, it is a hydroelectric generator set that has not been around for a long time in San Rotarlo, but he did not expect to see this thing in the distant Duchy of Haysting.

Walk through the garden. It's a long corridor again.

I don't know how far I walked, and finally came to a two-person golden gate.

Two white-armored guards stood guard at the gate, and the attendant went up to talk to the guards before turning away, while the guards opened the gate. Led Gehr and Lucarin inside.

Inside is a paradise of flowers.

The side hall is rectangular in shape, and the sides of the wall are planted with all kinds of flowers, red, yellow, purple, and blue. The most is white, and only a straight gravel road in the middle is passable.

Oil lamps were scattered along the sides of the gravel road. The road is illuminated, and the moonlight shines from the dome made of crystal glass above in the flower field. The fragrance floats, the moonlight is hazy, like a fairyland.

The gravel path led to a circular clearing, where there was now a set of chairs, and two people were already seated at the table.

Guided by one of the guards, Gehr and Lucarin walked over.

When I got closer, the faces of the two people at the table were clearly visible.

One of the eldest princesses that Geer had seen before was official, at this time she had taken off her armor and put on a purple gauze skirt, which looked much softer and full of a gentle and intellectual temperament, it was said that as the eldest of the many princes and princesses of Haisting, she was already in her thirties, but now in front of Gehr, she was more like a beautiful young woman of twenty-five or sixteen.

Next to the eldest princess was a girl who should be about ten years old, sweet and cute, with a slender and weak figure, and the girl's slender waist was wrapped in a white lace dress. The slender legs are wearing long stockings of the same white tone, and there is a silver butterfly ornament in the ponytail of the black hair behind the back, and the skin is white and red, but there is no flaw, and it looks like a delicate snow doll.

But though the girl seemed to be well-behaved, Gehr noticed a fleeting look of cunning in her eyes.

"Sit down," Princess Celestia waved at the guard, who saluted with one hand on his chest and stepped back. Princess Celestia gestured to Gehr and Lucarin's chair as if she were a normal host's house.

Gehr and Lucarine sat down as they said, opposite Princess Celestia.

The eldest princess didn't speak for the first time, but picked up a cup of tea that was still steaming, brought it to her lips, took a sip elegantly, squinted her eyes to show an expression of enjoyment, and only put down the cup after half a ring, and looked directly at Gehr: "Griezmann, it's okay to call you that, right?" The eldest princess's voice was slightly hoarse, and her voice was in her ears, as if something was touching her heart, and there was a strange charm.

"It's okay, Your Highness can also call me Geer. Gehr nodded, and calmly picked up the kettle and empty cup on the side, and poured it for himself and Lucarin.

"Hehe......" A smile appeared on the princess's peaceful face, and she chuckled twice, not in the slightest for Gehr's behavior. "Sure enough, you're really like Fayellino. ”

"Your Highness, do you know His Royal Highness the Prince?" Gehr subconsciously replied with a "nonsense", and the words of the eldest princess seemed to have cut through the fog, and everything had begun to be clear, only one line was needed to connect all the clues together.

The eldest princess didn't answer directly, but turned her head and looked at the little guy next to her with a smile: "Seventeen, you go to play by yourself first." ”

"Oh. As soon as Gehr sat down, the little fellow who looked at him curiously answered obediently, climbed down from the chair, and walked to a crystal glass garden on the side.

"There is no doubt that your identity was told to me by Fajellino. Princess Celestia pressed her right hand against the table, as if pushing something to Gehr, and then moved her green jade fingers away, revealing a gold-colored badge.

Gehr lifted his badge and looked at it carefully for a while, it was very familiar. Immediately began to call up the information in his memory, and soon found the relevant picture, which was almost identical to the golden badge representing Faglino's identity.

He took out his bronze badge from inside his clothes, as if there was some invisible force that kept vibrating it, making it tremble, and as the bronze badge approached, the gold badge also shook lightly accordingly, and an image appeared on the surface of the badge, which was the bust of the eldest princess.

The Brotherhood of Steel Bronze and above badges are made of a special metal, this material manufacturing method is only in the hands of the organization, when two fabrics doped with this special material are close together, it will emit a resonance reaction, and if enough special materials are added, this metal also has the function of image memory, and it will never disappear and change after recording. As a result, it is easy to identify each other between the top levels of the organization.

Now the thread that strings together the clues has finally been found, and Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess of the Principality of Haysting is actually a member of the Iron Brotherhood!

It's a big twist!

Gehr and Luccarin looked at each other, the answer was so unexpected.

“...... The chief ...... "Give the gold badge back to the eldest princess, Gehr hesitated for a moment, and finally held back two words.

"Don't be so out-of-the-box, just call me by my name, Salorath. Princess Celestia smiled softly. "The last time I saw Fajellino, he kept following me to find the left hand he was looking for, and since then I've been following you and I have to say that you are doing really well and deserve such praise from him. ”

"Your Highness has an overreputation. Gehr replied with a bowed head.

"No, you made it with your own hands. Salorath shook her head slightly. "You should get as much as you give, and your position determines that you have no shortcuts, which is also the standard by which we measure a person. ”

Of course, Gehr would not be so stupid as to be moved to dig out his heart and lungs after being praised in two sentences, the eldest princess lifted him so high for no reason, there must be a reason behind it.

"Today I just wanted to meet you, the guy who was so fancied by that guy for the first time. Salorath smiled and said, "Alright, it's almost time, there's a masquerade party going on in the banquet hall, if you're interested in attending, you can go to the ceremonial officer and pick a masquerade." I'll go change my clothes first. Saloras's eyes flickered to Lucarin, who was a little nervous. "Don't let your girlfriend down. ”

"You're laughing, Your Highness. ”

Gehr and Lucarin stood up, bowed to Saloras, and turned to leave the side hall.

......

Looking at the figure of Gehr leaving, the corners of Salorath's mouth showed a smile of unknown meaning.

"Sister......" A glutinous voice sounded, and the original seventeen princesses who had just run away came back. "Sister, is this the person you are talking about?"

"That's right, but I chose it for you. Salorath rubbed the head of the Seventeenth Princess, and the smile on her face grew stronger. (To be continued......)
