She Is Not a Witch Chapter 175: The Black Raven Witch
The room on the third floor of the palace banquet is very quiet. This is a place for noble people to rest. Empress Lily is taking care of the sleeping prince at the moment.
Looking at the little face slightly undulating, sleeping soundly, Lily couldn't help showing a loving smile, she covered the thin blanket, and then turned around.
"How's the situation outside?" She asked Wen Na, the head maid beside her. There was no one else in the room except two people.
"The eldest son of the Griffon came to the banquet this time. Elon is entertaining him. He seems to be a matchmaker and introduced a younger sister of his family."
"Griffins and ravens?" Lily pondered the meaning quietly.
The four major duke families are all extremely powerful. If they marry each other, it will not be a good thing for the royal family.
But at this time, there is no suitable reason to stop it, and the defense of the border now depends on the army of the Griffin family, so it is really not easy to offend.
"Is His Royal Highness the Regent not here today?" She turned to ask another host of the current empire.
"His Royal Highness was busy with business and didn't come here." Now that the cold disaster in the north is getting worse, it really makes the empire suffer. Fortunately, the rebellion in the south has subsided a lot, and the princess of the red dragon has never appeared again.
"Troublesome." Lily shook her head and stopped thinking about such complicated things.
She is not such a smart person, some things need to be self-aware. .
"Are there any requests from the major families in the north?" Some time ago, many nobles from the northern border asked to take people south to survive this rare winter.
Such a weird request was naturally rejected, but the voices of those nobles and citizens cannot be completely ignored. If they are ignored, it may lead to disaster.
"I still ask for more food and the support of extraordinary people. They seem to be very interested in the methods proposed by the scholars of the Royal Academy."
"That crazy idea?" Lily seemed to have some reflections.
"Yes, it is to use a large number of mages to trigger the silent underground volcano, bring heat, and melt the ice."
"This is to reproduce the miracle of the lava sea, but unfortunately, where can I find that flame witch now?"
At the end of the first era, the human coalition forces captured the holy land of the elves, turning the World Tree and its region into a sea of fire in the true sense. The ocean dyed the sky crimson.
In such an ocean, even birds dare not cross it, the scorching air waves will burn their feathers, and the sky is also full of turbulent air currents.
Where the magma and fire flowed, the old land of the elves was reduced to ashes, collapsed and sank in the flames, and only the remote emerald forest survived.
The sea of flames where the magma was tumbling lasted for nearly three years before it gradually cooled down. According to ancient records, in the following ten years, the average temperature of the entire continent rose by 3-5 degrees, and several winterless years passed. .
"This plan is still too crazy, and the consequences may not be expected by everyone." Lily rubbed her forehead after listening, feeling that it was still not good.
"I can't think of any good solution, it's really sad, if she..." After speaking, Lily closed her mouth again, dispelling this unrealistic fantasy.
"That's it, now let's go out to meet the two sons of the duke and say hello."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid bowed and saluted, then helped the queen up and walked out of the room.
In the second half of the banquet in the palace, many young men and women are spinning and dancing on the dance floor. Although the soothing dance steps are not fast, they are also full of style, showing the elegance of everyone.
Looking at the scene on the dance floor, Jaylan held the wine glass in one hand and shook it slightly, thinking about whether to invite the girl beside him to a dance.
He can be sure that this girl like a black swan will not reject his proposal, but the problem is that he is not ready yet.
Dancing is a small matter, but the signal and meaning behind the dance are big things.
The eldest son of Griffin, who has never been engaged and has no lover, invited a girl to dance with him for the first time at the banquet. This will make many people think that the relationship between the two is no longer simple, and perhaps the next step is engagement and marriage.
Would you like to invite her? In fact, after chatting with this girl for a while, he still has a lot of good impressions.
This Miss Fa Xin'er is very quiet, her voice is soft, her knowledge is profound, and her extraordinary strength is not weak, so she couldn't find anything to criticize in a short time.
Just as Jay Lann was hesitating, a loud noise came from the second floor, one after another waiters and maids opened the way, and then Her Majesty the Queen in a crimson rose dress walked down the stairs.
"His Majesty the Queen is well." A group of nobles got up one after another, stood on both sides of the road, pressed their chests with one hand, and bowed to salute. At this moment, the music beside the dance floor also temporarily stopped.
"Let's go too." Jailan stood up and said to Fa Xiner beside him.
"Yes, Your Highness." The girl lifted her skirt lightly, followed Jailan, and also came to Her Majesty the Queen.
"This is Elon's younger sister, Fa Xiner, here to meet His Majesty." After greetings from everyone, Elon, the elder brother, introduced Lily to his distant sister.
"I have met Your Majesty." The girl with black hair, black skirt and black pupils replied softly.
"Very beautiful." Lily looked at the girl who was a few years younger than herself, and blinked.
This is also a rare beauty. Although Frocia is slightly inferior to the former crown princess, it is difficult to find a comparable noble girl in the upper echelons of the empire today.
It was another round of polite greetings, Lily chatted with Jay Lanen who had just arrived in the imperial capital, and routinely asked about the physical condition of the old Griffin Duke.
"Father's body is still in good health, and recently he led people to hunt giant bears in the mountains." Jailan thought of his old-fashioned father, and thanked the queen for her concern.
It's almost the end of the chat, Lily leaves first, saying that she will leave the protagonist of the banquet to everyone, and she won't bother her. She knew that with her presence, everyone would be restrained, and she didn't like too much entertainment and communication, so she simply left.
Looking at the back of the Red Queen disappearing at the corner of the stairs, the dance floor in the banquet became lively again, and the music was played again.
"Your Majesty is still so indifferent, not interested in socializing." Seeing Lily leaving, several veteran nobles sighed in the corner, as if they felt that the queen's actions were not up to standard.
They are close ministers loyal to the royal family, and most of their fiefdoms are near the imperial capital. Naturally, they hope that the royal family will be stronger, but it is obviously not perfect to evaluate this queen by the standard of nobility.
The first is bloodline and background, and the other is character, not sociable, which caused some close vassals of the royal family to gradually become cold.
"His Highness Edron did not marry a wife, and the royal family still lacks a mistress who can integrate communication."
"You don't have to be so pessimistic. Think about those moody and short-sighted queens in history. This majesty is already very good. If you raise the little prince slowly, you may not be able to sit in that position safely. Until abdication."
"I hope so, God Bless the Empire, the true red rose is evergreen." These people nodded their shoulders again and prayed softly.
Afterwards, the banquet gradually dissipated, and Jailan also bid farewell to Miss Faxiner.
"I think, maybe we can keep in touch with each other." Before parting, Jailan finally sent out the invitation, saying that he did not refuse the girl.
"Thank you for your love, Your Highness. If you want to see me, you can send the invitation letter to the mansion on Golden Iris Street. I often live there."
"Then, see you next time." After knowing the address, Jailan held the back of the girl's hand, kissed her lightly, and said goodbye.
The carriage of the Duke of Griffon's family started slowly, and a dozen or so heavily armed white lion knights guarded the sides, gradually disappearing at the end of the street.
Watching the departure of the eldest son of the griffin, Fa Xiner stood on the steps under the pillar of the gate, standing there for a long time.
"Are you gone, the eldest son of the griffin." A familiar voice sounded.
"Yes, Lord Elon." Fa Xiner turned around and saluted, then took a few steps back and stood by the man's side.
"Don't be so polite and unfamiliar. Although you are not my biological sister, you still have the same blood as me, and you both have the name of Trey. From now on, you can just call me brother. If you have any problems, you can also You can ask me for help." Elon shook his head, then put his hand on the slender girl's shoulder.
"Okay, Brother Elon." Fa Xiner replied obediently, her black pupils were still calm, and she didn't seem surprised or frightened.
"It's really unusual." Looking at this composed girl, Elon seemed to be emotional.
Among the younger generation of the Trey family, there is no shortage of geniuses in practice. There are several younger generations of Sequence 6, and they are all direct descendants. Even he himself is a Sequence 7 existence, but when it comes to being suitable for entering the court On the stage, there are very few people dealing with nobles.
The young ravens in the family are either wizards who love classical knowledge, or cold soldiers, and there are not many people who are humane and warm.
Although this younger sister doesn't talk much, at least she can talk, and getting along with her will not be uncomfortable, and she can be relaxed, which is a rare exception in the Trey family.
"Have a good relationship with the eldest son of the griffin~IndoMTL.com~ I did some research, he was infatuated with a quiet girl with black hair when he was in school, you have many similarities with that girl, he likes it type. As long as you keep going like this, and get to know each other a few more times, getting acquainted gradually, it will not be difficult to make a marriage contract."
"Now that the northern border is in crisis, we need the help of all parties. It will be of great benefit to us if we can form an marriage relationship with the Salius family."
"Fa Xin'er understands." The girl nodded. Her extraordinary job is Necromancer Sequence 6 Black Crow Witch. Truly, a glimpse of the moment of fate.
There is a huge line of karma and fate in Jaylann's body. His future will attract many people and things, and the level has exceeded the level of a normal duke heir, even higher than Elon beside him.
Although she can't change her destiny, she can at least be vaguely aware of its existence and try her best to guide it in the desired direction. This is the value of her existence.
As a descendant of the Trey family, you should try your best to contribute to the family, even if you sacrifice yourself, it is worth it
