Section 46: Misunderstanding
Section 46 Misunderstanding
"I ...... I can't run......" The little girl stopped and began to gasp violently.
The book says that the king is fearless, but that's just the book. In fact, the scene I saw today made the little girl's legs and stomach tremble. The last time she had seen Ashrufat and the hooligans in that basement, but Ashrufat was her bodyguard anyway, and it was the damned villain who was killed. Although it is also a battle for Ashrufat to defeat those villains, it is not psychologically unacceptable, at most the corpses of the dead are a little terrifying.
But this time, she clearly saw a real killing show, how the human body was pierced, chopped, and chopped. The wails of the dying, who had been cut off half of their bodies and were only the last half of their breath, seemed to echo in her ears, blood flowed all over the ground, and the strong smell of blood still lingered in her nose, disgusting.
How so! This is her royal city...... What's going on? The sheriffs, the soldiers, the administrators, what the hell are they doing?
After a long time, the little girl's breathing finally calmed down. Where is she now? This must be the border between the commercial and aristocratic districts, and it is dark all around, and there is not a single person in sight on the streets. But she wasn't worried about that right now, anyway, she still had Ashrufat by her side.
"Here, I don't think we're chasing after me, are we?" the little girl asked with trepidation. How far had she run? When she was controlled by that fear, she completely lost her sense of time and distance, and the only thing she knew was that she ran all the way until she couldn't run anymore.
"Didn't chase after me. Ashrufat was much calmer, always looking in the direction behind him. Even though it was completely dark now, there was only darkness behind him. The little girl noticed that Ashrufat didn't even breathe...... But perhaps this is because he is a well-trained adult.
"We should ...... Is it safe?" Although the little girl knew that Ashrufat's skills were also very skillful, the one she saw just now was ...... That one should no longer be at the level of "human". That speed, that movement, and that armor that can constantly change color depending on the environment...... In that warehouse, there were at least twenty heavily armed men, but they were ...... by that terrible woman It was so easy to kill.
For some reason, when I think of that woman, I feel an indescribable uneasiness, which weighs heavily on my heart.
Ashrufat was still looking behind him. The moon is faint tonight, and only the stars provide a limited amount of light. With the little girl's vision, he could only see ten paces away, but Ashrufat seemed to be able to see far away, for he had been staring into the darkness in the distance.
"Ashrufat...... What's going on......" the little girl asked worriedly.
"It's fine. Ashruphat turned his head and let out a long exhale. "Let's go back...... This way. ”
There was a tavern in front of it, and there were many shops in the nearby street, but at this time it was this tavern with its doors open and lights shining. But maybe because of the heavy rain today, the hotel is quiet and there is no sound to hear.
"This way you can reach the noble quarter. "Then walk down the street to the palace." ”
The little girl walked forward. Either because of education, or because she was born with a good psychological quality, after this short period of rest, the little girl at least on the outside can no longer see the frightened appearance just now.
"Ah, you are ......" an unfamiliar voice sounded. Both Ashrufat and the little girl stopped at the same time.
Just ahead, standing at the door of the tavern, was a man whom both of them knew. Ashrufat had met each other once in the port area, while the little girl had seen each other in another environment.
"Female ......" little Grufiz almost wanted to rub her eyes. Why did you encounter strange things when you went out today? First, the wind chimes ran away inexplicably halfway, so that he couldn't catch up. And then there's meeting someone here who shouldn't be there at all. Although he was wearing a relatively ordinary dress at this time, he could identify that the girl in front of him was Luvia 61 Angel 61 Markremiz, the queen of Gruny.
Chance Encounters: On the streets at night, and by chance meeting the Queen, little Grufiz peeked left and right, and now it was really a perfect environment. The streets are empty, there are no idle people, etc. The little queen stood calmly and quietly in front of him, followed only by a fellow who was supposed to be a guard. Well, there should be more than one person, but the others are hiding in the shadows, making sure that this meeting is just the two of them.
And this tavern. Honestly, it's a little weird that a tavern is quiet after dark and doesn't have a single customer? Unless something big has just happened in this hotel, or it is simply a deliberate arrangement by some people.
Also, Ni Duan can be seen from the calm look of the little queen and her guards. Such an "unexpected meeting", but there was no surprise on the little queen's face.
Combining these factors, Grufiz Jr. quickly came up with a logical result. He didn't know when he was targeted, but it should have been a private meeting that had been prepared for him. Maybe the hasty departure of the wind chimes just now was part of this arrangement? It was said everywhere that Gruny's little queen was still underage and had not yet grasped real power. The big and small things of the state depend almost entirely on the regent Duke Byron. But it seems that the facts and legends do not exactly match.
I don't know when the little queen has secretly developed her own power.
Hearing that the Makremiz family has been brave and fierce for generations, little Grufiz thought with interest. It seems that even in such a little girl, the bloodline of the royal family is still not lost.
Of course, if he could read minds, he would definitely know that the little girl at this time was definitely not as good as her appearance. In fact, the little girl's heart and liver are mentioned in her throat. The reason why she was able to maintain this apparent calm was simply because she had just recovered from another huge shock (not even fully recovered), which made her relatively slow to express feelings such as "shock" and "panic".
Little Grufiz took off his hat and bowed as was customary. "Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you. He said in the most polite manner. "You're here to see me, aren't you?"
Speaking of which, the last time I met this little queen was really just a quick glimpse. The last time we met, it was a more formal ceremony for the palace to meet with foreign ministers. In that ceremony, the little queen was completely like a puppet, and the two sides just looked at each other and went through the motions.
Then he saw that the little girl nodded a little stiffly.
Sure enough, although he came to see me on purpose, he was still a little nervous...... Well, indeed, this should be the first time the little queen has tried to act in private. Little Grufiz carefully integrated all the situations in his mind and analyzed them around. No, he didn't believe the little queen had sensed the secret behind his visit. If she knew what she knew, then I am afraid she would not have met in private in this way. Well, it should just be a simple private meeting to get some information out of his mouth...... Presumably, this little queen has heard some rumors through some channels. In short, he just needs to see the move.
Little Grufiz had made up his mind, and a smile broke out on his face again.
"Would you like to go in and sit down?" he invited. Although Zhilu said that this was arranged by the little queen, she didn't speak for a long time, so it was clear that the man took the initiative to invite.
"Good. The little girl's words were just subconsciously spoken. She seems to be calm on the surface, but in reality her whole heart is up and down. What would have happened if the news of her slipping out of the palace had come out? It might have been a small thing, she had been nagged by a bunch of people for a long time. But a sense of crisis in her heart told her that maybe the consequences might be so severe that she couldn't even estimate it.
There was not a single guest in the tavern, as little Grufiz had expected. Only a bored-looking hostess stood behind the counter napping. He seemed to be sleeping soundly, not even noticing anyone entering. Not only that, but the tables and chairs around them also looked quite strange, simply put, it was like there had been a battle here not long ago, and few tables and chairs were intact.
Little Grufiz didn't care about the lazy hospitality. He found a table that looked good and sat down, and the little girl sat across from him. Ashrufat stood behind the little girl, as a guard should do. To be honest, the two of them still don't understand what kind of medicine is sold in this little Grufiz gourd.
"Your Majesty has come to see me like this...... Are you interested in what we can do to defeat the Shem people easily?" Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, little Grufiz finally took the initiative to speak. His words were completely tentative, but the little girl nodded.
"Huh...... Actually, just because His Majesty came to see me like this, he probably wasn't interested in any kind of rhetoric such as 'the right time and the right place are favorable', 'there is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust'. Little Grufiz smiled. "Well, I don't want to hide it. After all, this kind of thing can't be hidden for too long. Let's put it this way, the reason why we were able to defeat Shem and successfully establish our own country...... In the end, it's because we're well prepared. Little Grufiz looked out the door with some sighs. "Truth be told, Shem's resistance was nowhere near as strong as expected. ”
At this time, both the little girl and Ashrufat came back to their senses. Although they didn't know what the road was for, it was clear that the little 'Prince Grufiz', the official diplomatic ambassador of the Beru, had some misunderstanding about this chance encounter. He looked as if it was a deliberately arranged meeting.
"But......" the little girl said as she steadied herself. But she didn't know what to say, so she stopped there after saying two words.
"At the end of the day, it's a matter of strength. Grufiz Jr. said. "And not because we're lucky or whatever. I can clearly say that the reason why we won was simply because we had an overwhelming advantage in strength. This is not surprising at all, in fact, I always thought my brother was too conservative. ”
"But...... You ...... inside," the little girl finally remembered some of what she had heard at the previous Imperial Meeting. "There are six of you within you...... There are six families in total......"
