The Divine Hunter Chapter 8: Conversation in the Castle
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
Citadel of Sintra.
In the room with swaying lights, a petite figure sat by the window sill, swinging two white lotus-like calves while looking at the crowds of people walking like ants on the roads extending in all directions below the castle.
Under the mouse-gray hair, her beautiful big green eyes were full of distress and annoyance, "Halma, Keris... where are you? I miss you." In a soft whisper, she His thin shoulders shook, and then he covered his face and sobbed.
"Oh! Damn it!"
The sound of rapid footsteps came from far away, and a sudden visitor suddenly grabbed her from behind and hugged her down from the window sill.
"Xirui, dear, what can I tell you? Don't sit in such a dangerous place..." The woman looks like she is in her forties, with beautiful features and fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but she still has charm. Cun, his voice was extremely gentle, "Now our grandparents and grandchildren depend on each other for life. If something happens to you again, how will I survive?"
She was wearing an elegant palace dress and had a pair of beautiful emerald eyes. However, the clear nasolabial folds between her cheeks made her look slightly serious. Her thin lips and high nose bridge also made her look a little serious. She added three points of meanness.
"Put me down..." The girl snorted like a small animal, and her strong nasal voice made the words sound more like coquettishness.
Hearing this, the latter held her shoulders and straightened the girl's body. Two pairs of extremely similar beautiful eyes looked at each other, and neither one wanted to step back.
"Xirui, grandma is very worried about you and promised me not to risk climbing to the window sill again."
"No," the girl said stubbornly, raising her plain little face, "I grew up in Skellige, and Uncle Cratchit told me to be a free petrel on the sea, not a petrel in a cage. Canary. You put me under house arrest and didn't let me go anywhere, and now you want to deprive me of even my last pleasure?"
"As long as you swear to me not to try to escape again." The woman sighed, "Grandma will give you freedom."
"As long as you promise me not to let me marry that chubby guy!" the girl retorted, "Siri will not run around!"
"That's enough!" Calanthe roared and stood up, with a trace of angry blush on his face, just like a thundercloud suddenly appeared on the clear sea, the majesty of his long-standing position instantly shocked the petite opposite him. The girl lowered her head in silence.
"Ciri, grandma knows that you are not in a good mood during this time." The woman's voice became cold and hard, "But as the princess of Cintra, you should take responsibility for this country and share the worries of grandma. Stop being unreasonable!"
"But..." the girl said quietly, "I have already made an appointment with Halma, and I will marry him in the future..."
"Nonsense, you are just fooling around, you can't count!"
"Why can't we count? Keris was the witness, Pavetta... Pavetta also agreed." As she said this, the girl's voice suddenly weakened and her eyes turned red.
Calanthe instantly restrained her anger and said sadly, "Grandma promised Pavetta that she would find you a good home. Ciri, you have also heard the fairy tales about princes and princesses. As Cintra Princess, with your noble status, only a prince from a country is worthy of being your fiancé. Christine of Verdon is the most suitable candidate."
The woman comforted and said, "Although Christian is fatter now, he is still a child like you. In a few years, he will definitely grow into a handsome and kind prince."
"Then make him look good before he gets engaged to me." Xili stamped her feet and retorted angrily.
She didn't realize the consequences of her actions.
Quickly angry, Calanthe asked the soldiers to seal up the windows of her room completely, and then locked the little person alone with a bunch of dolls and books.
"During this period, just stay in my room and reflect. When the day comes, you have to go to me whether you want it or not!"
After leaving these words behind, Calanthe left without any hesitation - the lioness of Sintra almost never bows to anyone, even her own granddaughter.
"Hmph!" Xili stared at her back and took a few empty bites like a cat, then picked up a thick book and threw it on the bed, knocking over a pile of dolls.
"Boring!"
As a girl who grew up in Skellige, she and her friends all played skating, racing, and fishing for crabs. She was not interested in books or the lifeless dolls on the bed.
She lay on the bed and shook her calves boredly. She didn't know how long it took, but just when Xili was dizzy and about to fall asleep, there was a sudden sound of opening the door behind her, and she jumped up from the bed as soon as she was refreshed.
"Aimee, my good sister, you are finally here!"
"Be gentle, my princess, be careful not to fall." The girl in the yellow dress smiled and hugged the girl, holding her hand to the bedside.
"Why are the windows locked, and you have offended the queen again?" The girl scratched Xili's delicate nose in a funny way, and the latter nuzzled her coquettishly in her arms, "She forced me to marry again That fat man! I don’t agree!"
"Actually..." the girl's expression dimmed slightly, "The queen is also helpless, the pressure on her from the south is getting bigger and bigger... I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk to you about this."
"Tell me now..." Xiao Xili excitedly held the girl's soft palm, "Today is the Summer Solstice Festival. Did you encounter anything interesting outside? Let me relieve your boredom."
"It really happened today!" Next, the girl in the yellow dress vividly described to the little girl what happened in the Sintra Market Square.
"Basilisk?"
"Griffin?"
"Witcher?"
"Oh my God! The witcher tamed the gryphon!"
"And killed the ghoul for the horse-faced man?"
Xili listened to a burst of yelling, a flush of excitement appeared on her delicate little face, and then she clenched her white fists and hammered the bed in frustration, wishing she could personally participate in the scene at that time.
"Tell me, what does the witcher look like? Is he the weird one in the legend? White hair, eyes like a wild beast?"
The girl shook her head, "These folk tales are exaggerated and deliberately vilify the demon hunter. That gentleman looks almost like a normal person, with two eyes and one mouth. But the eyes are indeed different from ordinary people, they are dark gold. ."
"My eyes are different from everyone else's!"
Ciri with emerald green eyes couldn't help but have a fondness for the witcher,
"Your eyes are prettier. But the young witcher is not bad looking either. He is quite pleasing to the eye."
"He was the one who tamed the gryphon? Didn't it say that gryphons will never surrender?"
"It's just a young and weak griffin." The girl corrected, "It may not be as powerful as a wolf in combat, and it hasn't learned the loyalty of its parents yet."
Xili said seriously, "But that is also a griffin, not a cat, dog, cow, sheep, or bear. Many uncles I know in Skellige who look like iron buckets have never killed a griffin. That young man A demon hunter, it’s not an exaggeration to call him a warrior.”
"You mentioned just now," Ciri nervously grabbed the girl's catkins, "that the demon hunter helped the horse-faced man kill the ghoul and avenged his brother?"
The girl nodded.
A trace of joy flashed across Ciri's face, "So, that demon hunter is a warrior with a sense of justice. He is simply the rescuer sent to me by the goddess Freya! My good sister—— ”
Xili looked straight at the girl with bright eyes, "Can you let them save a princess who is imprisoned in the palace?"
As she said that, she jumped out of bed eagerly, took out a handful of jewelry from the drawer of the dresser, and held it in front of the girl, "I can give them a lot of money...a big commission!"
After speaking, Ciri raised her little head and said righteously with a sullen face, "And I, the princess of Cintra and the heir of the Great and Little Skellige Island, will grant him the status of a knight."
"Haha!" Aimee couldn't help laughing.
As the child of a minister of the Cintra royal court, he colluded with the demon hunters to kidnap the princess who was about to leave for engagement under Calanthe's eyes? He will definitely be beheaded by Calanthe!
She just took it as a joke.
"My little princess...giggle...you really dare to think that the queen's status in the entire Cintra is supreme, and the demon hunter cannot be stupid enough to offend Her Majesty's majesty."
"Sister Aimee, are you just going to watch little Xiri marry that smelly and ugly fat man?"
"You haven't even seen Prince Christine, why do you think he smells bad?" Aimee waved her hand, lifted up her skirt and walked towards the door,
"Okay, little princess, that's it for today's chat. I'll see you again when I hear more interesting stories!"
Xili looked at his leaving back~IndoMTL.com~ with a cunning look in her eyes.
"There will always be a way." She clearly remembered that her mother Pavetta said a lot of good things about the witcher, so she put her hands on her hips and muttered to herself,
"Since the witcher helped my parents, why can't he save me once?"
"Hmph! Let Calanthe invite him over! If you don't agree, I won't see that little fat guy! Just do it!"
……
At almost the same time, northeast of Sintra, on the other side of the Yaruga River, a demon hunter with white hair as white as snow led the mare Rocky towards Brugg's palace, where a major commission was waiting. Looking at him.
Stepping onto the high steps, a gust of wind suddenly blew across his weathered cheeks, and his left eye twitched for no reason.
"What is it?"
He inexplicably felt that something major would happen to him next.
