"Anyway...... This line is full of everyday words that start with p.,I've just explained.,If you don't remember.,There's a graphic next to it.,As for why the word starting with ph isn't this pronunciation...... Don't ask me, just memorize it......"

Tails' voice echoed through the study. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's all the material Gilbert was going to give me - but now it seems that I'm a little bit ahead of my time, but it's just right for you. ”

A little bit ahead?

Watching Tails hand the word list to Rolf, who couldn't speak, Gilbert, who was looking at the doorway, frowned slightly.

He was not very much in favor of (arguably opposed), and at such a critical moment, Tails still spent time teaching Rolf (although His Highness's magical and rich sign language was indeed a substitute for no one), so much so that he delayed his own homework. But at the thought that His Royal Highness was on his way to Exter, and that he needed more men he could trust than tedious knowledge, Gilbert sighed and continued to stand outside the door, allowing His Highness to carry out his act of being a corporal and buying people's hearts, at least in Gilbert's opinion.

Exeter's reply had arrived yesterday, but when the nervous envoy of emergency, Baron Russell, revealed the contents, even the best old Duke of Cullen could not help frowning.

Compared with the bloody handprint on the letter of state for the first time, this letter is more concise and "calm".

The letter was in King Nunn's own handwriting.

But there are only three, extremely powerful words.

Let him come. 】

There were no conditions, no declarations, no mention of the contradictions between the two countries, no mention of measures against the Grand Duke of Rumba - there was nothing attached to them at all.

And after reading the letter, Kessel V was also expressionless, did not say anything, but officially ordered: three days later, the second prince and his envoy will go north to Exeter, to Longxiao City.

This couldn't help but make Gilbert feel uneasy.

Baron Russell, after conveying the meaning of King Nunn, took his leave and returned home in a sweat - Gilbert guessed that the experience of meeting His Majesty that day, and Russell's performance, had probably also been transmitted back to Exeter, and that he might have to choose between King Nune and the Grand Duke of Rumba on his return.

While thinking about it, Tails' voice continued:

"Okay, let's review the sign language we just used to say 'I'm sorry'?"

Rolf frowned, rummaging through a pair of graphically drawn papers at hand, then raised his head and raised his right palm in confusion, gently wrapping it around his chest.

"No, it's 'please'. You've got to put your hands into fists -- yes, that's 'sorry.'" ”

Rolf clenched his right fist awkwardly and circled around his chest.

On the other side of the Wind Ghost, Tails didn't raise his head, but bowed his head slightly.

Half of his attention was on Rolf, the other half on his right hand, a book under the table: From the Final Empire to the Kingdom of the Stars.

Tyers discovered that since his assassination, he had developed a hidden ability: dual-purpose.

Now, for example, he could teach Rolf sign language while reading under his desk the books he needed without Gilbert knowing—especially about Calamity, about magicians.

Tails was so eager to learn about these intimate secrets - especially after the last assassination, when he was suspected of using magical energy, the sharp pain that almost tore through his whole body has always haunted him: will the next time he use magical energy, will it be his death?

But he was like being pushed by fate, from the state meeting to the meeting with the Exeter envoys, and then to being sent as an envoy, there was no time to stop and explore the truth about himself and the magician.

Originally, if Exeter's affairs were not so urgent, then Rolfe's arrival would have given Tails an excuse to take time to teach him sign language to shorten his daily "Gilbert class time" - he would not have been able to consult these materials that might arouse suspicion in Gilbert's class, and he also thought of openly expressing his curiosity about the magician in exchange for the opportunity to openly search for the magician's information, but who knows if the books he reads will be recorded by someone and passed to Kessel and even Morat? And the ability to use two hearts allows him to spare time to pursue his secrets, just like today.

But this new ability did not make him complacent at all, but even more anxious and panicked: how many anomalies are there in this body, and when will these anomalies reveal their secrets?

Tails had a hunch that all the secrets were in his own background, the mysterious mother, including the strange attitude of the High Priest Li Xiya, the suspicious conversation between the King and the High Priest during the bloodline ceremony, and so on.

"Mother's Truth" - This has been ranked second in Tails as one of the "Five Unsolved Mysteries of Mine", ahead of "Scarlet Years", "Flashbacks of Memory", and "Abnormal Body", and second only to the most pressing "Mystery of the Magi".

Thinking of this, Tails couldn't help but sigh.

"So, how do you compare 'thank you'?" he said casually.

Rolf struggled to find the drawing, awkwardly tapping his chin with the tip of his right palm, then turning his palm up and out.

Tails' gaze shifted between the book and Rolf, but at that moment, his vision began to blur again.

Wu Yuren's voice sounded first:

[Miss, are you going to a special school again to volunteer for the disabled?]

[Yes.] Hey, don't use such a pejorative term, they are neither disabled nor sick, and every time you call them, you isolate them from normal society - they should be called "physically handicapped" or "physically handicapped". 】

[Alas, I always feel that if you spend your time here, it is better to study for your degree, and in the future, from the level of social structure to influence and improve special education, after all, there are not many more of you, and their inconvenient circumstances will not be changed for the better because of your accidental behavior - society does not change like this. 】

The reason why their lives are inconvenient is not their own fault, but precisely because we, the people in society, have not fulfilled our responsibility -- so that all people regardless of conditions can live in it without obstacles: we can intimately design a single toilet for children under 1.2 meters, so that they can live in society without obstacles, so why can't a deaf-mute person communicate with people without barriers and live in society without obstacles?

[Hey, how did you become so moral in social science?]

[This is not morality -- but basic values! It is your idea that "promoting social progress from the macro structure is the right way" that is problematic! I don't believe that a person who is not even bothered to give sympathy and help to his surroundings will bring real help to society -- it is you, Wu!

Stop here, let's go. 】

【Eh?Where are you going?】

[Aren't you going to volunteer!]

[Ahhh

[Eh-I'm just going to send you there......]

[No matter what!You must come with me!Otherwise you won't be allowed in my room tonight!]

Tails shook his head vigorously, dispelling a few memories of the past that he had been so impressed that he could no longer touch, and hid them back in his mind.

His attention returned to his eyes.

"Yes, let's make it a little more difficult...... 'do it again'...... No, no, no, I mean, how do you make a sign language like 'do it again'?"

While Rolf was sweating through the drawings, Tails flipped through two more pages of From the Final Empire to the Kingdom of the Stars.

The value of this book is not as high as the previous one, and it is basically a summary of imaginary legends and a chronicle of major events, and it is even more unclear about the figure of the "disaster" in the battle of the end - huh?

Tails furrowed his eyebrows.

From the middle of this thick book, a piece of paper fell out.

Tails gently picked it up.

It was an old parchment, older than the old book "From the Final Empire to the Kingdom of the Stars" that was still barely able to turn it because of its excellent maintenance.

On the parchment, there is a remarkable black pen, a simple sketch, the profile of a young girl.

The girl in the painting is quiet and graceful, showing a lovely smile, and her simple face is like a pure lotus flower, only on her left ear, there is an earring pinned like a multi-pointed star.

This piece of paper, which obviously predates the book, could it be that some of the predecessors took it with him as a bookmark?

Tails looked puzzled, his eyes moved down, and he saw the payment:

t.c.k.s

Four letters, presumably the initials of the painter.

In Rolf's clumsy gestures, Tails flipped open the back of the parchment and saw a scribbled word:

Enemy!

With a big exclamation mark.

Enemy?

Tails shook his head, not trying to figure out what it meant.

Gilbert's voice suddenly came: "Your Highness, sorry to disturb me!"

Still, Tails tucked the parchment into his arms, closed the book, and quietly shoved it into an inconspicuous corner at his feet.

The traverser looked up and looked at Gilbert with a smile.

"Your Majesty has just sent news," Gilbert raised his hat towards him and bowed slightly, "He wants you to make a trip to the Fuxing Palace before you leave to complete the family gathering of the royal family." ”

"Family gathering?" Tails opened his mouth in disbelief, "What family?"

Isn't the family of the Bright Star Royal Family ......?

And at this time.

The figure of a first-class court lady appeared from behind Gilbert.

"Just come with me. ”

Ji Ni said lightly.

She looked at Tails' eyes, full of pity and pity.

――――――――――

Fuxing Palace.

"Now that you have been recognized as a prince," said Ginny, stepping on her high-heeled boots and walking down the cold stone steps with her dressed Tails, her voice cold, "Then you must come to meet your titular mother, although not biological...... But at least before you go to Exeter......"

Mother?

Tails was surprised and asked, "What mother?"

"Naturally, she is your father's only wife," Ji Ni's face showed reluctance and sadness, "Queen Keya." ”

Tails froze for a few seconds.

They stopped outside one of the palaces.

"Your Majesty is too busy to come over today. Ginny looked at the closed door and said softly.

Wordless disappointment crept over Tails.

But Jenny's mind is obviously not on the father and son.

The next moment, the female officer said seriously and seriously to the puzzled Tails: "After a while, no matter what happens, don't be surprised, and don't be afraid. ”

Before Tails could react, Kenny pushed open the door and walked inside.

"Keya," Jenny said cautiously, "I'm here." ”

Tails followed the court lady and slowly walked into the room.

It is a spacious room with simple furnishings, but rather style, and a touch of elegance.

In front of them, a fresh, feminine woman, about forty years old, dressed in a luxurious star-blue dress, turned to look at Genie and Tails.

"Genie, you're here!" said the noble lady, Queen Koya, with a pleasant and sincere smile, "It's wonderful, Kessel has been so busy with his friendship with Exeter lately, I think you probably don't have much time......"

Tails was a little reserved, after all, he was the king's illegitimate son.

At the same time, he was also surprised by the current scene: if Ji Ni was the king's lover, then Keya, who was the queen, actually got along with her so well?

"That's what I told you, I'll be coming to see you today......" Jenny's voice froze, as if she didn't feel the need to say much, so she took a deep breath, pulled Tails forward, and said silently: "This is Tails, Kessel's second ...... Son. ”

"So, that's you?" Lya slowly walked up to him and squatted down slightly, "Kessel's youngest son?"

Her soft eyes looked at Tails.

Tails was so embarrassed that he couldn't even breathe.

"Don't be afraid, I'm also your family," Her Majesty the Queen touched his head with a loving expression: "Look at your eyes and nose...... It's exactly like your charming mother. ”

Tails' breath faltered, and his eyes widened.

Mother?

I only heard Queen Keya say softly and sincerely: "...... I hope you can inherit your mother's intelligence, erudition, and unstoppable eloquence, hehe—after all, there are very few women who are as good as she is and Jenny. ”

It's fascinating.

Intelligent, erudite.

Unstoppable eloquence?

Tails was hungry and took this information into his mind, the area called "Mother".

The key to the many unsolved mysteries about him.

Ji Ni's face was a little ugly, and she just replied hastily, "Okay-Koya, if it's okay...... I'm going to take him with me...... You know, he's about to go to Exeter. ”

Tails thought it was strange why Genie was so nervous in front of this gentle and kind queen.

And, in such a hurry, to end this meeting?

"Alas, poor child," sighed Queen Koya, "I have never been to Exeter, but I have heard of it to some extent, and it is savage, rude, and fosters violence and fighting, and that you are so young—I am afraid you will suffer." ”

"Well, thank you for your concern...... Rao is Tails is exquisite, and in front of strangers, it is difficult to parry such a scene of being close to the Le family, so he replied stiffly: "No, this is all an order from His Majesty...... It is also the mission of Bright Star. ”

Queen Boya chuckled, "The mission of the Bright Star...... That's what they always say. ”

Ji Ni's voice suddenly sounded stiff again: "Okay Keya, he has other tasks." Let's take our leave......"

Wrong.

Tails frowned.

Something must be wrong.

But.

What's wrong?

――――――

I'll tell you a secret: I'll be on two shifts today, and the second one will be around six o'clock in the afternoon.

In the case of the unprecedented two watches, is it to count tickets and collect?
