Chapter 309: The Princess's Study
Remembering that he was once an S-class elite of the assassination unit in the Thieves' Guild, it seemed like it was a few days ago. However, Ranaya did not have the excitement of meeting her fellow people now, but was extremely calm.
The more dangerous the place, the more Ranaya will behave calmly, calm and restrain everything, many people understand, but no one can really do it, Ranaya is one of these few people.
Since the current situation of the Deadly Night Shadow is that although it is well known in the Red Fire Empire, no outsiders know where they are really hiding, then Ranaya is likely to be targeted by any of them, no matter where she stands. And at this time, if Lanaya really encounters any attack, it will take some time for the nearest reinforcements to arrive, so what will happen at this time can only be left to fate.
"Do you know the princess?" Seeing the bear dangling in front of her, Lanaya interrupted his annoying movements with a question.
"My lord, we were sent by His Majesty the King to Thunder City to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess, and we were originally from here. The lion replied respectfully.
"Someone from the royal family of the Red Fire Empire?"
"No, but you can serve the royal family at all times. ”
Lanaya pondered what had happened for a moment and said, "But it seems that your intentions have long been known to the people of the envoys. "Otherwise, the soldiers of the legation would not have done it before them. Moreover, the lion also explained to everyone afterwards that they came to prevent this marriage, and those five people joined their Yala mercenary group, just to find a place to live and cover themselves...... They were taken advantage of by these five people?
"Your Excellency, you can't blame us for this!" the lion smiled wryly, "We came from the east of the Red Fire Fortress, and we happened to run into them, so it was easy to be misunderstood. ”
"My lord, let's find a place to rest and rest, don't get tired after such a long journey...... Wolf, stay here and wait for Her Highness the Princess to return!" the bear shouted at the wolf, then looked at Lanaya with a smile.
"Wait, your task of protecting the princess is accomplished, won't the king reward you? "At this point, no one's words can be easily trusted, let alone these people who have not figured out the origin, besides, this alliance with the deadly Nightshadow requires a notary, Ranaya had heard Adrian say that Anne would take care of this matter, and I don't know what the situation is now.
"If Her Royal Highness the Princess meets Her Majesty, she may not be able to come back for a while. The wolf glanced at the palace in the distance and said helplessly. The princess sent to the Thunder Empire has inexplicably returned, and this matter must be clarified!
"How are you going to go back to the others? It will take more than half a month to ride from here to the city of Fayer, and you are alone, ...... halfway," Xiong worried.
Naturally, Xiong thought that the rest of the Yala Mercenary Regiment had rested in Fayer City, but in fact, they were all in Red Fire City at this time, and some had even begun to search for ways to find the deadly Night Shadow people.
When you have someone you hate, they may suddenly appear in your bedroom at night and talk to you about the business. If you just want to search for their traces, give up, no one has found them yet, and you won't see the sun the next day if you see them.
"So where do you think it's better to rest?" Ranaya looked up and looked around at all five. It was not so much five as four, the woman called Crane never said a word, never smiled or frowned, her eyes were gloomy, she didn't blink for a long time, and the whole person snuggled up to the tiger like a doll.
"There's a flower garden over there. The bear gestured somewhere in the distance.
Fortunately, it is said that it is a flower garden built by the Garcia family, although Ranaya and the Garcia family have had some festivals before, but now Anne has long since stopped taking this matter to heart, and it seems that the people within the family have also forgotten about this matter.
Annie, as well as Adrian and the others were in that building, discussing the matter of this union with the Garcia family, and the notary they were looking for this time was these people from the Garcia family.
The wolf stayed where he was, as he had requested, and waited for the princess to return, while Lanaya followed the rest of the four in the direction of the flowerbed.
......
In the huge hall, there is only a small figure busy underneath. The princess was holding a storage ring and packing each of the books she had picked out in it like a dish. Needless to say, these books must have been the ones she hated the most.
The princess's expression was like that of a man with crooked minds who was about to succeed in his tricks, and every time she pulled out a thick hardcover book, she would stick out the tip of her tongue and lick the corners of her mouth, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and from time to time she let out a "hum" laugh from her throat.
The storage ring in the princess's hand is almost the same level as the amethyst ring in the Hidden Sanctuary, the princess finally escaped the eyes of the soldiers and ran to the study, now only counting the time for loading the book, it has been nearly half an hour, but the storage space seems to be far from full.
The slender hand slid over the spine of the book, and suddenly stopped on a book much larger than the book next to it.
The princess hesitated, but pulled the book out.
When the book left the shelf, it actually touched a pale golden light, and the princess was slightly startled, the book was so heavy that she almost let it fall on her feet.
"I ...... I was able to take this book out?!" said the princess in amazement, the book, which in the previous case was as if it had been glued to the shelf, could not be taken out. The princess quickly remembered that the godfather said that this was a book that had been sealed by God, and that it was only possible to break the seal if she felt the power of God!
So, there's a god around here?
The princess turned sharply, but, in the study, she saw no one but herself. High, heavy curtains flank the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, which open an open space beyond the wide corridor leading from the palace to the outside...... But it can't be a soldier standing there.
"Give it to this man......" A voice sounded out of thin air in the princess's head.
The princess's first instinct was to cover her head, it was the first time she had encountered such a thing, and she instinctively resisted. Although this is just a magic called telekinesis among people with a slightly higher realm.
However, the voice did not disappear because of this, but became louder and clearer. Then the image of a man appeared on the princess's retina, and the voice rang out again: "Give it to this man, and ...... it at once."
The princess quickly recognized the person the unknown voice had told her. It was the female mercenary of the Yala Mercenary Regiment, who even refused to answer her own questions so many times, and was separated from herself outside the palace just now, but what is her name......?
Although the man knew who it was, the princess did not seem to remember whether the man had ever told her her name. But if the princess continued to stand still, the sound would grow louder and louder, ringing endlessly in her head, and the princess felt that her head was going to explode.
As a last resort, she was going to put the book in, but when she pulled the book with the ring, she felt that the part of her finger where the ring was wearing was like an electric shock, painful and numb, and then, in the middle and bottom of the book, a pale golden rune suddenly flashed.
She didn't know what was going on, she didn't want to try it again, the feeling just now was like a whip was going to tear her fingers off, and she didn't want to experience it a second time.
All she knew was that the book couldn't fit in the storage ring, so she had to hold it in her hand.
The princess thought for a moment, hid the book in her blouse, and ran out of the study.
The princess had two hopes in her heart, first, that the journey would be unhindered and that she would succeed in reaching the outside of the palace, and second, that she had spent so much time here that the mercenary would still be waiting for her.
However, it didn't take long for the princess to begin to wonder if she would be able to make it through the first hurdle. There was a slow footstep on the staircase around the corner, and the corridor in which the princess was now in was a straight road, with no doors on either side, and she would surely meet the man even if she ran back from now on.
Therefore, the princess still chose to stay where she was, motionless and ready to face reality, while her hands were clasped under her chin, desperately praying that this person was not her father.
The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and the shadows of the people on the other side gradually reflected on the opposite wall.
Crowns, robes......
The princess only felt that she must be dead.
The man slowly walked around the corner, turned around, and saw the princess, whose mouth was slightly open in surprise.
"Queen Mother?" exclaimed the princess in a whisper at the sight of the comer.
The princess did not come to her senses for a moment, and by the time she reacted to salute, the queen had already trotted in and took the princess in her arms.
Feeling her mother's embrace, the princess suddenly felt the urge to cry, but she held back.
"God, my little Merloti, why are you here?" As soon as the queen mother finished speaking, she suddenly frowned, let go of Meloti, and swept her eyes to Meloti's chest.
Meloti suddenly realized something, took two steps back, and clutched her hands to her chest. That was the place where she had hidden the book, and when she hugged the queen just now, she must have been discovered!
"I know, I know! But you won't believe my own explanations. The people waiting outside the palace know what is going on, and come with me, Queen Mother. Meloti immediately thought of the five men.
The queen looked at Meloti for a long time, still shaking her head slowly and firmly, and stretched out a hand to Meloti: "Take it out." ”
