526 The Tragedy of the Royal Court (4)

Coming out of the palace, the eldest prince Alissack took the reins of his horse from the servant and rushed to Prais's mansion in the eastern suburbs of Kyoto with his two attendant guards

It was a manor house outside the city, and the high, sturdy Gothic complex inside made it look like a small castle, guarded by a squadron of heavily armed soldiers in front of the large iron fence.

Inside the courtyard, there are also 50 palace guards and knights on duty 24 hours a day. (.dkankan, please remember our URL to read and see the novel.com) These knights rode tall Boliangen horses, with brocade feathers on their helmets representing the status of palace guards, patrolling the courtyard every ten minutes, each team of 10 people, these handsome-looking and imposing young knights, every time they passed through the courtyard, the sound of the horses' hooves stepping on the pebbles was like a fixed pendulum, always jīng accurate to make people sigh, they would not be a second earlier, nor a second late, often turn around for exactly ten minutes, as if measured in advance,

In fact, this is their homework, as the king's majesty's guard knights, they must be able to adjust their position in time according to the position of the protector, not to appear to be noisy, but also to make others have no chance

They would only stop for a moment when they passed a small corner on the east side of the manor, and only after making sure that no one in the small attic was watching them would they resume their original pace and go away with some regrets

Plais, who discovered this unique phenomenon, could only give a helpless wry smile to the boring behavior of the knights, and the free pursuit of the person he liked was the product of the Ryerdian man, and they could pursue the same NV child at the same time, but when the NV child said that he had a heart, the other suitors had to withdraw, which was also the tradition of the Ryordian nobles

That little corner tower is the residence of her eighteen-year-old second nv, Pradi Elle, which is a perfect combination of Kyoto's famous beauty, the noble blood from the thousand-year-old family and the dreamy and changeable Dorok NV personality.

She has a beautiful face that will make any man look at it, and a magically changeable style, sometimes beautiful, sometimes pure and lovely, enough to make any man who has ever seen it drunk

Although few people have seen her true face, because she is not in Parabun now, those who have actually seen her insist that Pradi Elle's beauty is not far behind the dream princess who made the whole of Paraven crazy back then.

For this point Prais makes no secret of his opinion,

The appearance of the NV inherited a little more of his own elements, and he should have been more beautiful than his mother from the Dorok Mountains, and this was the only chance for him to dare to comment on his wife with confidence

Because he was a strict wife, even his best friend Dale William laughed at him

"The merry and noble son who was famous in Kyoto back then was actually managed by a Doroke NV person, which is really a shame for the face of the Rui Erdian man"

And Prais will respond to the almost blind partner with a sneer: "Respect is the most basic virtue of a man, it is much better than a guy who has been abandoned by the NV"

This once caused the relationship between the two to be completely severed after the Kyoto incident

Of course, Prais also heard some alternative versions afterwards, such as William Dyer's deportation and exile to remote areas, and most of the people with whom he had a jā relationship were more or less implicated, and only himself, the opposite partner, survived the storm and was still able to live happily in the suburbs of Paraven

Winter is not a comfortable season for Ruierdian in the middle of the continent, and heavy snowfall is often endless, because of the lack of basic urban management, a large amount of domestic garbage and waste residue are piled up in the streets and alleys of the city, piled up like a tiresome night, and sometimes even people can't get out for a week

This was undoubtedly a kind of prison-like torture for the lively and active Pradeile, and for this reason, in the winter, Prais would take his wife and children to his grandfather's domain for vacation.

It was a dense rolling hill on the border of Dorok, and in the snow-capped mountains, it was not only a place of great joy, but also a place of endless discoveries, fat elks, little white rabbits jumping in the snow with ears pricked up,

Adults will go hunting in groups, and the galloping hounds will roar and rush into the woods, using their loudest voices to drive the prey out of the woods, while the children will gather around the campfire, with their frightened eyes open, and they will crowd together in fear, listening to the fat cook who makes the food while cutting off the limbs of the animals, while telling the terrible rumors of the man-eating old witch in the mountains.

As for the young boys and girls who have just started to fall in love, they can take advantage of the opportunity to hunt in the wild in winter to get to know each other, and if they have a favorite, they will kill a strong male elk with their own hands and give it to their beloved girl

"Prady Elle is always the one who gets the most gifts from young people" Whenever I think of this, Prais always has a sweet feeling,

What a beautiful time it was there, how could it be like now, surrounded by a bunch of death compensation lists for the dead in battle, all kinds of intelligence analysis, piled up on his desk and requests for troop transfer, full of thoughts in addition to calculating the enemy and guarding against the hidden arrows from behind, just like Dale William, who has left, dedicated to the country, and finally ended up with a thousand people spitting,

In fact, even Prais himself was not very clear about the assassination, but he remembered that Dale William was drinking in a room with him, and when he woke up, he saw himself wearing a sword, deep in Dale William's blood-coagulated chest, his face was bloodless and pale as a piece of paper, and on the table was scattered the secret text that he had seen, but where he should have signed it, a person's name was written on it

"William Dell"

Then the chief knight of the guard, Tetriggs, walked in from the outside with a solemn expression, and after a cursory inspection, he immediately arrested himself on the charge of murdering his boss, and then he was out of control like a dream, and the former leader William Dale became a traitor, and his temporary corner was suddenly pushed to the position of the important minister of the kingdom and the minister of military affairs

Even his plan to go to Dorok in winter couldn't be realized, so he could only let his wife take his NV first, every time he thought of this, Prais felt a sense of chagrin,

But fortunately, after a period of restricting his battle strategy, the battle situation in the north has now stabilized

From the current point of view, the Kujit offensive has been difficult to carry out, because the heavy snow will make their horseshoe storm l- out, even if they want to play a maneuver, they will be quickly detected, their previous howling attack method, scattered in various areas, before the completion of the assembly, will be discovered by the special scouts,

This can be seen from the recent repeated encounters of the Dongting cavalry, every time they either hit the cage that has been arranged, or they have to retreat when they encounter superior forces, or the target has been empty, and they don't even have hot water to drink after running for most of the night, for this reason, the number of front-line troops of the Dongting cavalry has been reduced from the original 60,000 to the current 40,000, and the rest of the people have been sent to the occupied area to grab food.

The scope of the Kujiit gradually narrowed in this invisible strategy. And the other party seems to have noticed this, so they began to slow down the frequency of previous attacks and focus instead on the occupied areas, and it seems that they are also preparing to survive this winter

"Knock Knock"

After two crisp knocks, the young servant Prasante, holding a letter in his hand, hurriedly came in from outside, and the sound of hurried footsteps made Prais look up from the table in dissatisfaction

"What's wrong, so panicked"

Prais stopped his pen in his hand, he was making a rough framework of the plan discussed last night, and then let the officials at all levels of the Ministry of Military Affairs below refine it,

This sortie involves more than just combat, it is a large and meticulous project that requires an extremely quiet environment.

The guards had done as he had instructed him to hang a Do Not Disturb sign on the big one, indicating that he was not allowed to be disturbed, even by his own son

"I'm sorry father, but I want you to read the letter"

Prasant's face - ugly put down the letter in his hand

The blue on his father's face made him feel a heartbeat, Prais was born into an aristocratic family, and he himself had been in the army, and he was very strict with people and things, even if it was his own son, he was trained by the standards of a warrior.

Yu Guling's strange NV is a different matter, after all, there is a wife pressing.

"Who sent this?"

Prais looked at his son to confirm that it was really important, and hesitated for a moment before picking up the letter on the table,

Dale William

The signature on it made Prais's gaze freeze for a moment, and the sound of breathing became rapid

Dale William, this familiar way of authorship,

so that Prais can be sure that it is not a forged letter, because only the two who knew their habits back then,

When signing the name, I deliberately put a subtle dot in the lower right corner, which looks like an unintentional ink drip.

It represents my beloved companion to the darkness, and is the name of the most blood connection between them

"This is what Grand Knight Tetriggs just sent by himself"

Prasante said in a deep voice with a solemn expression

"He said that this was personally instructed by Lord William Dale the night before he left, and that if you can't come back, father, when you are about to lead an army to counterattack on a large scale, I will give you this letter."

"You go down first, no one will say anything about this until it is confirmed" Prais waved his hand to his son, picked up the letter again, got up from his seat and walked back and forth,

"My partner, what did you leave me this suicide note for?"

After hesitating for a while, Prais stopped, and as if he had made up his mind, he opened the letter in his hand, and the familiar handwriting rang in Prais's ears like a friend's call,

"The Three Counties of the North...... Why is this happening......"

After reading the letter, Prais sat down in his seat with a sad face, and asked several questions in succession, and large tears dripped down his strong cheeks, and fell right on the black dots on the envelope's signature, wetting the cover and staining the signature

The voice of the registrar was heard outside, "My lord, Prince Ali Sachs asks to see you" F
