That extreme pain from the inside out has disappeared from Tails' body. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tails clutched the wounds on his left arm and shoulder, gasping for breath as he looked at the young nobleman in front of him.

"Thank you...... Thank you. ”

In the distance, the Lord of the Seychelles flashed with a sword, neatly eliminating the last assassin.

Near the overturned carriage, Genie shook off Seychelles' hand and walked to an assassin on the ground with a cold expression, and under the knight's frown, she launched a huge force and stabbed a sword between the assassin's eyes.

Unrelated passers-by had fled, and among the chaos and corpses that filled the streets, Tails couldn't find the masked guard - only hoped that he would survive the flurry of magic sounds and crossbow arrows, yodel was a master of the Arc after all.

Gilbert, who was on the ground, looked anxiously at this side.

But from the moment he saw the iris crest, Tails knew that his immediate priority was to deal with the young nobleman in front of him who had saved his life—and his knightly retinue who was at ease among the Assassins and was not a simple character at first glance.

Iris-Gilbert hadn't had time to teach Tails nobility heraldry, but that didn't prevent him from understanding the meaning of the coat of arms.

When taken captive by the Bloodline, the fluttering banner on the Vine Manor tells the traveler that the family represented by this flower probably has a limited affection for the Bright Star Royal Family.

“...... Those people ......" Tails said timidly, like a standard seven-year-old in horror after a crisis, "and those people suddenly pounced on ......"

This child was able to travel with the king's lover, as well as with his closest chamberlains and former foreign ministers...... Jenn secretly said in his heart: He was assassinated on the way to the Central District, who is he?

Will it be an accident that affects the plan?

"Don't be afraid, kid, it's all right. The young round-faced nobleman smiled and sheathed his sword.

He looked at the seven-year-old traverser and said gracefully, "Assassins are creatures that live in the shadows, and without the shadows, they are no threat and are useless. ”

"I am Jenn Cavendeer, and as one of the thousands of nobles in the kingdom, as long as I am present, I will not let them hurt you. ”

"So who are you, kid?" asked Jenn politely, raising an eyebrow.

I am......?

Tails took a deep breath under his trembling exterior, thinking about his current situation.

I haven't officially debuted yet, and I'm not recognized as a shining star, but I'm sure I'm a thorn in the side of the aristocrats who have the potential to be crowned.

Identity must not be revealed until you reach the palace.

Tails' eyes looked at Gilbert.

Gilbert saw Jenn, who had dropped his top hat, and the former Foreign Secretary, with wounds all over his body, was staggering, but still holding on with his cane, limping from a distance.

He's still some distance away and can't explain it for me—Tails said silently.

And in front of ......

He looked at Jenn, only to see that the other man was hesitant, waiting for his answer.

Looking at Tails, who didn't say a word, Jenn's suspicions increased.

The young duke's eyes swept over and saw Gilbert in the distance.

Is he hesitating, or is he really a strange identity, waiting for Cassel to come and help him?

"Are you waiting for Count Cassel?" Jenn smiled, "Personally escorted by the best diplomat the kingdom has ever seen, it seems that you have a lot of stories behind you, kid." ”

Sensing Jenn's suspicions, the traverser knew that he could no longer be fooled.

Otherwise, even if Gilbert disguised his identity for him, the nobleman with the fleur-de-lis coat of arms would not easily believe it.

"I am, I'm Tails. Tails searched for the identity in his memory, blended with the current situation, and with the fear peculiar to a seven-year-old child, he said slowly: "They all say, I am...... He is the illegitimate son of Lord Mann. ”

"Mann?" Jenn looked at him, "The hero of the kingdom in the Desert War, Lord Sauron Mann, who died on the Western Front a year ago?"

The bastard son of Mann the Charger?

Haven't Mann's domains and manors been reclaimed?

Tails' palms were sweating - Gilbert had only told him the basics of Mann Manor, not what Lord Mann was.

"I don't know, they don't tell me much...... Father's business. Tails lowered his head, lost sight of the land.

Gilbert finally came to the two of them, and the former Foreign Secretary bowed to Jenn with surprise and worry on his face, trembling: "Thank you for your unstinting help - I didn't expect to see you here, Lord Duke Kevendier." ”

Jenn hurriedly stepped forward and held the bruised and crumbling Gilbert, this time his eyes were extra serious.

"Count Cassel—I'd rather meet you on another occasion and talk over wine," he said sincerely, "and don't come to your aid in a dastardly assassination." ”

Earl Kilbert Cassel...... Jenn silently thought back to who he was.

The cunning fox of the stars.

This is a testament to the wisdom and means of the Count of Cassel, who at that time had just inherited his father's title, after the Peace of the Fortress.

Twelve years ago, it was he who served as the negotiator of the stars, crisscrossing the negotiating table of various countries, and almost single-handedly thwarted the ambitions of the northern dragon to go south.

It is also the first nobleman in the history of Xingchen to be promoted from a viscount to an earl just by virtue of diplomatic merits.

When the news of the victory came, almost the entire star was celebrating wildly, celebrating the final end of the Year of Blood.

If it weren't for political reasons, he would have been the next prime minister of His Majesty Kessel.

And how could it be the turn of that old guy from Cullen?

He's a rare talent for the stars, if I ever ...... Jenn muttered...... He's going to be a strong helper.

He immediately showed a serious and serious expression: "I will tell the Alert Hall that this despicable assassination cannot be forgiven, no matter what the reason is!

Like him, Gilbert was also speculating about the young duke in front of him, one of the six giants, the new two-year-old Duke of the Kevendier family.

When the old duke died in that tragic family tragedy two years ago, everyone thought that the already declining Cavendier and the wealthy Southbank Lords would be torn apart by endless civil strife.

Even His Majesty had already written an edict and made an agreement with the other families to intervene in this family strife for the benefit of it.

Until this little duke, who was once rumored to be at odds with his family, returned from a trip to the distant eastern continent.

Facing the pressure of the other three powerful cousins, Jenn, under the astonished gaze of all the nobles, reunited the tricolor irises and the south bank into one of the noblest families and one of the richest and most powerful forces in the stars.

"Master Cavendier," Gilbert carefully chosen, "I will remember your righteous deeds, but before I can do so, I must ......."

At this moment, Tails on the side suddenly spoke up, interrupting the two of them from their respective thoughts.

"Mr. Cassel," said the seven-year-old Tails in a reluctant tone as the two looked at each other, "I-I don't want to inherit Mann Manor." ”

A tired Gilbert's eyes moved.

Tails, he's reminding me—he said secretly.

"I'm just an illegitimate child who hasn't even seen my father's face a few times, I don't have any rights, and I ......" Tails raised his head tremblingly, his eyes filled with tears of horror: "What happened just now, I don't want to go through it again! I just want to be the Tails who doesn't have a surname!"

"Child, I understand your feelings. Falling into the whirlpool of inheritance is never a pleasant memory—grateful, Lord Duke—but," Gilbert sighed, his eyes lit up as he was supported by Jenn, "but this is your Majesty's order. ”

"We're going to the Fuxing Palace at once, Lord Duke!" Ji Ni, who was on the side, tied up her wounds and approached with an unkind face, interrupting the conversation between several people, she was a little afraid to look at Tails and Gilbert, but she only emphasized that she wanted to leave with a brutal face.

But she was about to go to Latailes' arm, and was stopped in mid-air by Seychelles, who looked at the young duke with a blank face, waiting for his decision.

"Forgive me for the interruption," Jenn narrowed his eyes and said gracefully, "so this ...... Tails, the one going to inherit the Mann family?"

Gilbert looked at Tails with a complicated gaze.

"This is Your Majesty's task, and it shouldn't have been revealed at will, but since the owner of the tricolor iris has asked......" Gilbert sighed and nodded: "Your Majesty has decreed that this child should be brought to him in order to give him his father's inheritance, including Mann Manor." ”

"As you know, Lord Mann rose to prominence in the Desert Wars and had a close friendship with His Majesty during his lifetime. And after he died in battle, the land and property were entrusted to the crown in escrow......" Gilbert continued to weave a lie with an unchanging face: "until someone discovers his illegitimate child." ”

"Obviously, some people are not satisfied with Lord Mann's heir......" Gilbert looked at the corpses of the assassins all over the ground, and his face was sad: "You know, that's a big manor, and Lord Mann has a lot of relatives out of thin air after his career." ”

Jenn looked at Tails, his gaze frozen for two seconds.

The hero's illegitimate orphan?

Enter the Fuxing Palace, accept His Majesty's edict and inherit the property?

At this time?

And...... He glanced at Jenny.

Walking with the chief lady of the court, the lover of His Majesty?

In the distance, there was a bustling noise and the sound of marching footsteps.

The city defense team and the guard hall are finally long overdue.

Gilbert's expression of anxiety was already evident on Ginny's face, but Tails knew that he must not want to expose himself to the public eye.

Even as the "illegitimate son of Lord Mann".

"I see, no wonder Your Majesty attaches great importance to this," as the remaining three waited apprehensively, Jenn smiled abruptly, "Lord Mann was not only His Majesty's comrade-in-arms, but also a hero of our stars, and his bloodline really shouldn't be left behind in ugly conspiracies." ”

Tails breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you two have not been lightly wounded," Jenn said worriedly, "Fortunately, the city guards and the guard hall are here, and the two of you can get medical treatment and assistance from them, and you must also explain the before and after of the assassination." ”

"As for this child, since it is His Majesty's order," Jenn said lightly, "You can hand him over to me, I am about to go to the Fuxing Palace." ”

Gilbert and Ginny's faces changed.

"Lord Duke, this is too much trouble for you!" Gilbert looked serious and said decisively, "And this is the next task......

"The child's safety is paramount! He's already been assassinated!" and ......" Jenn said emotionally, crouching down on one knee, tearing a piece from his sleeve and bandaging Tails'...... The orphans of the heroes, it is worth it. ”

Tails' expression stiffened.

It's so clumsy - Jenn said coldly in his heart:

At such a critical moment, send the most trusted squire and his lover to pick up the orphan of a low-ranking nobleman?

Even if that nobleman is a battlefield comrade who lives and dies with the king!

There must be something wrong with that boy!

Jenn smiled and nodded at them, revealing an expression that didn't need to worry: "In the name of the tricolor irise, and the strength of the Seychelles, he is safe." ”

Feeling Jenn's gaze, a chill rose in Tails' back.

"Jenn Cavendil!" Ginny angrily stepped forward, only to be stopped by Seychelles and his sword.

"Stand back, ma'am. The knight of the Extreme Realm, Seychelles did not back down, with a cold look in his eyes: "This is the will of the duke, and it is also my mission." ”

Gilbert's brow furrowed any further, confronting a duke and a knight of the Arc, anxiously thinking about what to do.

"Lord Cavendier!, this is not appropriate!" Gilbert had never spoken in such a serious tone: "This is Your Majesty's ......"

"No one can question my respect for Your Majesty!" said Jenn, his eyes fixed on Tails, "but it is clear that my carriage and escort are more suitable for Your Majesty's mission than you who are scarred." ”

"Or," Jenn said, turning his head intimidatingly, "what else are you hiding from me?"

Gilbert was momentarily speechless, and Genie clenched the hilt of her sword at her waist - she was ready to fight desperately.

Tails was also anxious.

Go with this guy?

How can it be!

But with Yodel's disappearance, using force can only be counterproductive.

What to do?

Tails frantically thought about all the solutions, even the power within him!

What to do?

"Child, don't be nervous, His Majesty Kessel is known for being fair and strict," Jenn saw the performance of the three of them, and became more determined in his thoughts, and smiled slightly mockingly, "Moreover, since you are in the blood of Lord Mann, isn't it only natural for a son to inherit his father's property?"

"You should be proud of your father, it was his decisive charge in the Battle of the Altar that saved the entire desert war. ”

"Please allow me to escort you away as a sign of my respect for the hero. ”

Looking at Jenn's bright smile, Tails only felt his scalp tingle.

He didn't come up with a countermeasure.

The dignified Gilbert and the anxious Genie seem to be helpless.

The corners of Jenn's mouth curled, and he stood up, raising his right hand: "Please, this ...... Mr. Tails?"

Tails took a deep breath and glanced at the middle-aged nobleman and the court lady.

It seems that there is no way out.

At this moment, the sound of neat footsteps, its owners finally entered everyone's attention!

At least dozens of elite warriors who moved neatly without saying a word, armed with iron-armored long swords, silver shield steel helmets, and even portable magic energy guns and special crossbows for infantry, rushed into the scene with neat steps and majestic momentum, and surrounded the people present!

Everyone's faces changed in unison!

Seychelles was the first to see the equipment and ornaments on the group of warriors, and he approached the Duke with a dismal face, and whispered:

"It's not the Alert Hall and the City Defense Team!"

"It's the Royal Guard!"

Jenn's face suddenly turned ugly.

Gilbert and Ginny saw clearly that one of the leaders of this group of murderous elite warriors was the leader.

Both of their faces relaxed.

It was a short, cloaked figure, head and face tightly wrapped.

"The Kingdom of the Stars—"

Tails suddenly realized that the voice under the cloak was actually a young female voice.

The diminutive figure took a step forward and scratched its head.

"With that High King—"

But the voice seemed a little confusing and a little rusty.

I heard her then shout:

"Kay-Cather-Kessel-that-Can-ohs!"

"In short, in the name of your king!"

Under Tails' stunned gaze, the short figure crossed his waist, raised a hand, pointed at the people in the field one by one, and said angrily:

"Lady Ginny, that gray-headed uncle, and that little ghost—"

"All sent to his palace!"
