"It's not far from where you're going to investigate, but ......"

"It's not been peaceful in Longxiao City lately," Big Belt said with a pout, shaking his head at Cohen and Miranda, "You know, Prince Moral has been missing for a month, and then there was news of his death in the stars, and then there were rumors, and the men were all ready to be called up to fight the Empire in the south. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Immediately after that, there was news that they would stop fighting. ”

"And today, just now, the prince of the stars entered Longxiao City to apologize. I heard that the King of the Stars had sworn that if he dared to disfavor his son, then the two countries would not die?"

Cohen and Miranda exchanged glances, the former with worry in his eyes and the latter in deep thought.

"Hey, what are you kidding, you should apologize when you come to apologize! Can the Northlanders be threatened by him?"

"If I were Your Majesty, no matter how much, I would hang that prince first, and then pull the soldiers and horses of the whole country to Yongxing City, and see what the Imperial people have to say!" the big belt pounded the table with a big grin, grumbling with dissatisfaction.

But the prince was only seven years old...... After the New Year, he was only eight years old. Cohen said with a mouthful.

"Seven?" "Big Belt scratched his head, seemingly confused: "Okay......"

"Anyway, the bosses have instructed their subordinates to restrain a little in the past few days, and people with channels have received rumors that His Majesty Nunn is very dissatisfied with the stars, and will soon take that one ...... Uh, the seven-year-old prince gives ...... You know. ”

Miranda frowned tightly: Who is spreading these rumors?

Is it deliberately against the prince, or is it to provoke a feud between King Nun and the second prince?

"Moreover, His Majesty has lost his only heir, and he knows what kind of mentality he is in now," the big belt sighed, "Let's not mention the next Grand Duke of Longxiao City and the next king, maybe it won't be good, His Majesty Nunn will start the fire first, alas, ......"

"You just said, bosses, are you a local gang force?" Cohen asked curiously, "I heard from Kaslan that he has contacts with the major forces in the city?"

"Yes, Kaslan's face is very big, he had a kind of back then, and he was expelled from the White Blade Guard because he confronted His Majesty Nunn in front of all the courtiers," the big belt said with a smile: "But the officials who went up to the Valhalla Palace, and the bigwigs who went down to Longxiao City to eat with their younger brothers, still respect Kaslan very much...... Not to mention the so many old subordinates he takes care of and supports, whether they are promoted and made a fortune or leave their jobs and retires, they all have his favors. ”

"That's why, Kaslan asked you to come to me," Big Belt nodded, "I have a lot of contact with local forces, and I should be able to help you." ”

"Before we go, please tell us about the forces in Longxiao City," Cohen's face was solemn: "This is very important. ”

The big belt looked at Miranda, who nodded slightly.

So the big belt spread his hands: "Okay, let's divide it into districts......"

"First of all, our area - the shield and hammer areas are inhabited by the natives of Longxiao City, they may be poor, but this is the territory of Grivo and his brothers, and you don't want to provoke them. ”

"Grivo...... Is he the leader of the gang??, who controls these two districts?" Officer Cohen asked, following the quality of his profession, "Not even the officers or the guards can interfere?"

"No, it's different, I mean, he's not a lord or a bureaucrat after all, and he doesn't have the right to take care of this matter on the surface, and Grivo won't go out of his way to challenge the dignity of a nobleman or an official," explained with a wave of his hand.

"But Grivo was a famous veteran before he retired, so he has a lot of prestige here, and whenever something happens - you know, being cheated by outsiders, fighting with locals, whose daughter a nobleman has a crush on, whose family is having a bad winter this year, anyway, all kinds of things are solved by his people. ”

"Because he is willing to give the poor a head, so in the shield and hammer districts, many people are willing to believe in him. And the Orderlies have openly said that Grivo's presence is helping to stabilize the two poorest breaches, so it also gives him face - although I think it's because of Grivo's service experience, he used to be a heavy sword infantryman, and many of his old colleagues are now on it, even in the inner city and Valhalla. ”

"Grivo has no specific gang or subordinates, but if he stands up in the street one morning and says, 'Here's some men,' I'm willing to bet that at least a dozen good men will drop their jobs to help, and a dozen dozen will come from outside the city in an hour, and if he waits until the afternoon, his men will be able to form a brigade -- and half of them will be men who have served in the army of Longxiao City, and who are strong enough to eat and fight. ”

Miranda frowned, and Cohen, who had experience as a vigilante officer, nodded, digesting the form of the local gang organization, which was completely different from that of Eternal Star City.

"As for the sword, bow and armor districts, there are many merchants, many goods, many residents, and enough profits, so it is a bit complicated. ”

"The bazaars in the Sword District are all civilians from outside the city or even farther away, and even the caravans of the stars are selling, and the person who speaks there is named Urad, he has an official identity, that is, the order officer who manages the bazaar in Longxiao City, and he also has people in the shadows, but not as many as Grivo, so strong," the big belt shook his head:

"It's said that he has dealings with the Brotherhood of the Stars, doing a little grey business, and making some money on the embargo between the two countries - he doesn't come forward much, but everyone is afraid of him. ”

"Brotherhood of the Dark Streets?" Cohen was intrigued by the name, "Their business has expanded to Exeter?"

"yes, I didn't hear that name for years, and I had to go to the Blood Vials to deal with things in the south. The big belt shrugged his shoulders and expressed helplessness: "But one day, the Brotherhood swaggered into Longxiao City as if it suddenly came out of the ground, and sat down to negotiate with Urad and Grivo. ”

But in the end, the two bigwigs didn't say anything, and the Brotherhood didn't settle down in Longxiao City, but the local business began to have more channels for the Brotherhood. ”

"Let me say that their business has expanded so fast, but it is not always stable, and neither Urad nor Grivoy believe them very much—as on this occasion, as soon as the rumors of war between the two countries broke, Urad shut down his smuggling channels, and neither the Brotherhood nor the merchants and businesses they were under their cover were gone. ”

"Expanding so fast...... Cohen narrowed his eyes, "Maybe their purpose isn't to grow steadily, or even to do business or grab land?"

"Hey, it's impossible," Big Belt smiled in disbelief: "Gangsters who don't grab land, don't fight for profits, and don't do business, are they still called gangsters?"

"And in the Dragon's Wing Square in the Sword District, there are the traveling merchants of Commas, and there are some places where the nimble Northlanders gather from time to time - up to the noble lords down to the outlaws, those people have access to them, and their goods are very popular with the locals, so the rhythm of these places revolves around them, and there are also many special shops and locations, you know," the big belt put on a lewd smile of "men know", and stretched out his two hands in parallel and grabbed back and forth in the air like apples:

"Soft and soggy ......"

Cohen bowed his head and smiled very cooperatively, while Miranda, who was on the side, snorted coldly.

"Anyway, some of the chambers of commerce composed of Comas and Northlanders are rooted in Longyi Square. ”

"The Bow District, especially along Xichi Avenue, is more peculiar, to put it simply, it is something that other districts have, there will be some in the Bow District, rough workshops, small shops, etc., and the Armor District, is a large number of workshops and local shops, the relationship between the two districts is very chaotic, it is difficult to say what forces there are, but in case there is anything, it is to find a Far Easterner to mediate. ”

"Far Easterners?" Cohen and Miranda cast a puzzled look at the big belt.

"Yes, Far Easterners, a butcher shop owner named Gu, took root in Longxiao City more than ten years ago," the big belt shrugged his shoulders, signaling that he didn't know what he was doing: "He doesn't seem to have much power, but he has a wide range of channels, from the Comas merchants to the Northlanders, and even the Xingchen people, he can speak-what is going on, he is also the first to know, so he is both a middleman and an intelligence dealer." ”

"As for the arrow area, the spear area, and the axe area, you have to go up several distances, and the people who can live there are powerful and powerful, and there are guards patrolling when you return from traveling. ”

"And the place where Kaslan is talking about, which is the destination of your trip, is in the armor area where the Far Easterners' butcher's shop is located. The big belt said, "I heard from acquaintances that there have been some fresh faces there recently, I think maybe it's the person you're looking for?"

That's where Croesy was ambushed during the pursuit, and Miranda tapped the hilt of her sword at her waist.

"Is there anything suspicious about that location?" Cohen asked nervously, "Like a battle? at night, between dozens of swordsmen? and maybe an ending swordsman?"

"Battle, Finish Swordsman?" the big belt muttered for a while: "I haven't heard of it, after all, it's not our territory, and there is not enough news." ”

The big belt exhaled: "I suggest you go and ask Gu, his territory, no matter what is going on, you can't hide it from the Far Easterner - of course, you have to spend money to buy information." ”

"Okay," Miranda nodded, her expression solemn, "We'll go right away." ”

At the behest of the big belt, Cohen and Miranda walked out of his house.

"The streets and underground forces in Longxiao City are a bit chaotic, not as clear as the two major forces in Eternal Star City, and not as strong as the Brotherhood and the Blood Vial Gang. ”

"But these are our most important sources, after all, the Sword of Calamity is hidden in the shadows, and the chaos of the situation also allows us to exploit the loopholes," Cohen rubbed his chin worriedly as he walked down the street, watching people come and go talking about the entry of the Star Prince into the city today.

"The bigwigs who come out of the poor, the half-black, half-white smugglers, the mercenary chamber of commerce, the Far East's intelligence dealers and middlemen - unfortunately, the arrival of Prince Tails has made the situation in the city more and more tense, and these locals will be more cautious and wary of outsiders, and it will not be easy for us to find clues. ”

"Or go and ask the Far Easterner," Miranda's eyes moved, and the subject changed, "Have you seen him, our second prince?"

"Of course!" in the Hall of the Stars, that kid behaved in front of the Six Dukes......" Cohen said with a fluttering brow, his voice suddenly faltering.

He realized the identity of Miranda Arende and her ...... at the same time in front of him Father.

"Uh......" Cohen touched his head awkwardly: "Anyway, he's not bad, it should be a good thing to have a successor to the Bright Star Royal Family......"

"Yes," Miranda's expression remained unchanged as she walked past a dilapidated tailor's shop and nodded, "That kid is impressive, even when he was in the Broken Dragon Fortress." ”

Tyles Bright Star, the image of the dark-haired boy then appeared in front of him.

He should be in Valhalla right now, negotiating with the ruler of Exeter.

And he, one day, will become our king.

Miranda frowned, and the thumb and forefinger of her right hand slowly clenched.

The allegiance of the king of the North.

The experience of knowing each other for many years made them know each other very well, and Cohen couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Miranda's situation.

"Miranda, things have been too urgent these days to ask you, but," Cohen whispered, "are you okay?"

Miranda jerked her head up, her gaze on Cohen.

Cohen glanced left and right, and after leading Miranda to a large sign in a tavern, he hesitated and said, "I listened to the old man about your father's affairs. About him and the Exeters......"

"There's nothing to say, people always have to pay for what they do. Miranda's reaction was so fast that even Cohen was startled, only to see the female swordsman frowning and saying categorically: "For more than ten years, I haven't seen him much, and I haven't been impressed, so this matter can't affect me at all." ”

Cohen didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

Are you sure?

A long time ago, he had heard Raphael say what the girl in front of him had been through in her bloody years.

also knew that she was sent to the Tower of End by her father early.

But she ...... now

"So," Cohen asked, rubbing his head wryly, deciding to move the conversation forward, "what happens after that...... I mean, I know you have a whole bunch of distant cousins, and they're also named Arend, if your father is stripped of his title......"

"There is no precedent for the kingdom to be without a duchess or even a queen," Miranda's eyes flashed, "and I am the real Arend, the most orthodox and only heir to the Duke of the Guardian of the North, like the prince named Tails—even His Majesty Kessel cannot deny it." ”

Albeit...... This surname is too heavy.

Cohen pursed his lips, worry written on his face: "Miranda, you know, you're not alone. ”

"I am your trusted friend. Croesch and Missadun may be from the Northland, but that doesn't change our friendship. You still have Teacher Chartil, and maybe Lord Sonia in the Stronghold. Also, Raphael's boy......"

Cohen's voice weakened instantly.

He realized he had said the wrong thing again.

The warden officer's voice changed, and he said, "In short, I know that you are very strong, whether it is swordsmanship or something else, but you don't need to face so many ...... alone"

But Miranda's sharp gaze was cast instantly.

"You've come back this time to avoid Raphael's name – until now. Miranda narrowed her eyes.

Cohen's face froze, and his heart beat wildly.

Why is this guy so sensitive?

"It's not about avoiding ...... I'm afraid you'll be sad, after all, you grew up together and trained together, and he said goodbye......"

But before he could come up with an excuse, Miranda, with a serious expression, went straight to the point: "He's back?

"What's the matter, he will definitely look for you first when he comes back, after all, you are a couple......" Cohen touched his head and laughed: "By the way, speaking of this, I think my recent relationship with women is not bad! Do you know, I met a cool girl in Wangdu, who is as fast as lightning with two knives in one hand......"

"You're in the same habit as Master Jedi," Miranda sighed, interrupting Cohen, "every time I feel embarrassed, I touch my head." ”

Cohen's hand touching his head froze.

Then change the subject with unconscious nagging. ”

The blonde-haired vigilante bowed his head in annoyance.

"Cohen Karabiyan, after we settle these things at hand, we have to talk. Miranda's expression was serious, she grabbed her saber and tapped Cohen's shoulder with the hilt:

"About Raphael - and what you are hiding. ”

Cohen pursed his lips and slapped himself on the forehead in pain.

This is what Master Shao said: weave a cocoon, but trap yourself inside?

"Let's get back to our current mission. Cohen, do you feel it," Miranda said lightly, "from the Sword of Calamity, to King Nunn, to the rumors in the city, and the murder of the Star Prince, there is something wrong. ”

"Huh?" Cohen, immersed in frustration, looked up for no apparent reason.

Miranda tapped lightly on the hilt of her sword, thinking:

"The second prince of the stars traveled to Exeter and was assassinated not far from the fortress, and the matter was related to the Sword of Calamity. ”

"So, the former leader of the White Blade Guard and Master Shao's old acquaintance, Kaslan, sent a message to the Tower of End, and we were ordered to come. ”

"And the second prince is now in Longxiao City, facing King Nunn, Kaslan's old employer. ”

"Coincidentally, the Sword of Calamity was also chased by Kaslan in Longxiao City. ”

In Cohen's eyes, Miranda, who has always been sharp, has sharp eyes and a vigilant tone: "What a coincidence, everything came together." ”

Mess.

But there seems to be a thread in the center, connecting everything.

Cohen looked at her dumbfoundedly.

Although I don't understand what Miranda is saying...... Cohen thought.

The female swordsman looked up sharply: "What do you say?"

A second later, the alert officer who reacted immediately coughed twice in embarrassment: "Oh oh! yes!"

But it feels so powerful......

"I ...... too I have a feeling that something is wrong!"

Anyway, I just have to nod my head and agree......

"Behind this, I really feel it," Cohen took a deep breath, his gaze became capable and neat, and his face was the shrewdness and seriousness of a vigilant officer, and he saw him rhythmically pound his palms and gently spit out words:

"There must be a big conspiracy!"

Looking at Cohen's appearance, Miranda sighed helplessly, closed her eyes and shook her head.

No.

This idiot.

He felt it.

――――

The bearded gritted his teeth and looked at Tails in disbelief.

The pot head looked at King Nunn in surprise, and then at Tails.

The bald and long-haired men glanced at each other and saw that they were both frowning.

The brown-haired young man stared at Tails with a strange expression, and stopped talking.

Bet right.

Tails breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know what the current situation was, he wasn't sure if Nunn's attitude towards him had changed, and he didn't know the character and characteristics of the Grand Dukes......

But......

Tails smiled, he raised his head, his eyes sweeping aggressively over the five archdukes.

Not one of them dared to bear the blood debt of killing the Star Prince alone.

With the oath of the throne, the shield that Kessel had forged for him was still strong.

Previously, King Nunn said that he wanted him to commit suicide, and the Grand Duke had a good attitude.

But if this "honor" is their turn......

For example, if a class of people wants to do a bad thing and avoid bearing the consequences, they often either sneak in secret, or collectively coax them on the surface.

But no one will dare to go it alone.

"Little cub of the bright star," said the bearded man with a fierce look, as if his feud with Tails could not be resolved, "we have heard your story for a long time, treacherous and cunning, and scheming so deep that he does not look like a child at all...... It seems to be right. ”

"That's enough, let's end the temptation for the seven-year-old child," said the pot head's playful expression: "I dare bet on the six counties in the territory of the Rebuilding Tower, this kid will definitely become our henchman in the future." ”

Temptation?Tails frowned.

But the words of the pot lid were immediately interrupted.

"Nope. ”

"It's really an interesting idea," King Nunn broke the silence under the surprised eyes of all the Grand Dukes, and a cold light appeared in his eyes, "Duel." ”

"Where did you hear that?"

Tails slowly regained his sense of stability in his heart, he steadied his breathing, and said to King Nunn: "Your king's election meeting, and the duel over the inheritance of the Black Sand Territory. ”

"Black Sand Leader, hum!" Nunn VII made no secret of the hatred on his face, "That bastard of Rumba has also asked me to provide a garrison and supplies for the Black Sand Lord's team escorting you. ”

The Grand Dukes quickly exchanged a few glances.

This reminded Tails of the "collaborator" of the Grand Duke of the Black Sands.

"Hypocritical and ridiculous fellow," said King Nunn gloomily, "does he not know that half of my blood debt is on him?"

The expressions of the five Grand Dukes remained motionless.

King Nunn's face was solemn, and he clasped his palm on the table, and the ring on his hand made a sharp knock.

"Boom!"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Duel, why not. ”

Then, in the midst of the great looks of the Grand Dukes, King Nunn turned to them: "Is there any of you who will go to war on my behalf to prove your loyalty to the king?"

"With his blood, you should be able to let go of your scruples and stand with Long Xiao City, right?"

Tails gritted his teeth.

But he seems to have grasped Nunn's rhythm gradually.

The expressions of the Grand Dukes became extremely strange.

But King Nunn did not give them a chance to reply.

"Rebien Auretheus, my faithful Grand Duke of Willand," King Nunn said, turning to his beard, which had always been full of malice towards Tails, "Go, in a duel, bring me victory and revenge." ”

Wellan Collar ...... Tails took him to heart.

Three hundred years ago, the site of the Battle of the Dawn.

Grand Duke Alesio looked at King Nunn and then at Tails.

The traverser watched as his face changed again and again.

"I thought you were just testing him...... Nunn," Archduke Auretheus frowned deeply, "Our previous discussion has made it clear, everyone is willing to swallow the flesh of the stars, but no one wants to see an all-out war that will never end...... Are you really going to kill this prince here?"

Tails felt relieved.

Test......

It's really a temptation.

own life...... It seems to have been saved.

But then he was stunned again.

Listening to the meaning of this, just now these six people have been discussing the matter of sending troops to war?

"Isn't that good? I even sent Nicolai in advance to tie him up to Longxiao City and parade through the streets!" Nunn smiled frighteningly and maniacally, "Anyway, without the orthodox heir, Walton is also doomed to decline, and doing the last thing for Exeter, isn't it?"

The faces of the five Grand Dukes became more and more ugly.

Tails tried to put himself in the Archduke's situation, which is understandable.

Because the Star Kingdom, which had no heirs before, faced almost the same situation.

A king who behaves unpredictably.

"Alesius, after all, he has your sword in his hand," King Nun continued faintly, "and, more than six hundred years ago, wasn't it Tomund Bright Star who led his army to drive your family, Auresius, from the ancient land of Chauvin to the north, and establish the city of Eternal Star in your family's old land?"

"Kill him, and surely your family will be glorified as well?"

Auretheus laughed.

"If you raise your forces to go to war—the Willan Lords are willing to march and retreat with Longxiao City, and pledge their allegiance to the Dragonlance, my Majesty," Aletheus slowly stroked his beard and shook his head, "but not in this way...... You can't force me to carry this blood on your back. ”

"Hmph, dear Grand Duke Auretheus, don't you want to carry blood?" Tails smiled coldly and replied to what he had just said: "Isn't it just that you are afraid of death after saying so much?"

Auretheus paused, looking at Tails' expression only getting more and more unkind.

King Nun sneered, and turned to the mocking and merciless pot head: "What about you, Grand Duke of the Re-Creation Tower, Pacius Trudida? ”

Rebuild the tower...... Tails suddenly remembered the rumba story.

"I refuse. The Archduke Trudida at the head of the pot reacted very quickly, "You can't ask me to do this,"

He shook his head warily and said, "There is only one reason why Trudida supports the war against the stars: that is, rebuilding the tower can maximize the benefits of the war. But if I kill this boy with my own hands and am forced to bear the hatred of the enemy, it will obviously outweigh the losses. ”

"The cheapest war caused by this is definitely Rumba, and the blood debt is always borne by the murderer," Trudida raised his hand and laughed: "There are benefits, no risks, we will send troops, otherwise why would we wade into this troubled water?"

"You are the most honest man I have ever met, Trudida," the bald Grand Duke sighed, and before King Nunn could speak, he replied, "Your words are so selfish and plausible and true that I cannot refute them." ”

"For the same reason, I, Rogers Leco from Vigilant City......" said the bald Archduke Leco lightly, turning his head, a bright glint reflected above his head: "Whoever likes to kill him will go anyway - it is still a trivial matter to put on a total war for no reason, and I don't want to be stained with the blood debt of the bright star." ”

Tails watched the Grand Dukes coldly, arguing as if no one was in front of His Majesty and outsiders...... It's like the neighbor's aunt in the previous life chattering after meeting downstairs.

Moreover, this scene ......

Tails frowned: Why is it so familiar?

"Well, I can understand the weight of the Northland," Tails chuckled, looked sarcastically at the bald Archduke Leco, and saluted him with the same words, and looked at the bearded Archduke Alesio with contempt, "and your way of the Northland." ”

Neither Grand Duke answered him, but just looked away.

"Hmph, if this kid hadn't come to apologize, we wouldn't have to be so embarrassed, would?" Nunn VII sneered: "Will you send troops south in the name of revenge for my son?"

The Grand Dukes did not answer.

But Tails already knew the answer.

"Kurikun Ronnie?" King Nunn looked at the long-haired man and said slowly, "You go and kill him, and Longxiao City will fully support the benefits that the Ronnie family can gain in the war." ”

"To do this to a child who doesn't have hair underneath is simply tarnishing my honor," the long-haired man, Grand Duke Ronnie snorted violently, "Although Qiyuan City is far away from the threat of the stars, the Ronnie family also has its own pride. ”

The more Tails listened, the more obvious his feelings became.

The tone in which the Grand Dukes spoke to the king......

Through the most intuitive and direct contact, he quickly realized that the essence of the relationship between Exeter and the stars was different in the relationship between the king and the vassal.

The Grand Duke and the King of the Co-Lift are almost equal, those who are acquainted, those who are powerful, and even unceremonious to the king.

Compared to the stars...... Tails remembered that in the Hall of the Stars, the six nobles and the vassals of the Thirteen Noble Clans knelt down and kissed Kessel's ring.

It seems that the Grand Dukes of Exeter are really a country of their own, and the power in their hands is so great...... Far beyond our expectations. Tails remembered Putile's assessment.

I'm afraid it's the same in terms of strength.

"Enough!"

The last brunette young man sighed,

"I am Lord of Beacon City, Conkley Peverett, Your Highness the Star, and I'm sorry to let you see this. The brown-haired young man turned his head and smiled apologetically at Tails, then he said to King Nunn worriedly, "Your Majesty, I understand your anger, but I ask you to consider the future of the kingdom...... The Prince of the Stars is already here, and we have lost our justification for sending troops, and killing him will only make matters worse. ”

Nunn didn't answer.

He glanced around the Grand Duke and then Tails before he spoke in a low and heavy voice.

"You are a bunch of cowards," said Nunn VII in a deep voice, "and even I have agreed, but you are still afraid of war, and you dare not even touch the blood of a child." ”

It's because of your approval that it's suspicious.

Tails said silently.

"The Northlands are never proud of killing children. Grand Duke Ronnie of Qiyuan City replied lightly.

"Very well, then the meeting will be dismissed," King Nunn grimaced, putting an end to this strange meeting, he looked at Tails, his eyes still mercilessly cold and hateful, "Put that ridiculous sword down, Prince of the Stars, you don't need it for the evening." ”

"Huh?" Tails was stunned, "What is the occasion of the evening?"

"What else?" the king of Exeter stabbed the five archdukes with a cold eye, "since these cowards are unwilling to pay, what choice do we have?"

"Go get ready and come to your welcome dinner. ”

"Tails Bright Star. ”

The king left the last words in the most obnoxious tone, and left his seat without looking back.

The Grand Dukes looked at each other one after another, and stood up with different expressions.

Tails stared blankly at everything in front of him.

That's ...... It's over?

"I said," said the bearded Grand Duke of Willan, Auretheus, walked up to Tails, his expression still ugly, "how long are you going to hold my sword?"

"Dangchang!"

The sword in Tails' hand fell to the ground.

His palms were numb.

It wasn't until Tails walked out of the stone hall safe and sound, and saw Lord Michael, who was waiting for him, that he realized that he had unknowingly broken out in a cold sweat on such a cold day.

Even the legs are almost no longer their own.

Tails pressed his knees as if he had just finished a cross-country run, and exhaled deeply.

Damn it.

Northlanders.

"Please come with me, Your Highness the Prince," said Lord Michael, with a blank face, "I will take you to your room and get ready for the evening dinner." ”

"Your attachés will also be at the banquet. ”

Tails suddenly raised his hand, stopping Mielke's movements.

"Before that, can you take me to Lord Nicolai and Marquis Slys," Tails gave a strange smile under Mielke's meaningful gaze, "I was well taken care of by both of them all the way before I arrived in Dragon City. ”

"Huh?" Michael's voice whispered, expressing his confusion.

"For the deep kindness of the two of them," Tails' expression became ugly, and he raised his head and said firmly, "I must thank both of them in person, sincerely, seriously, carefully, and vigorously." ”

...... of the whole family. (To be continued.) )
