The Amber Sword: Act 109 The crisis of flower and leaf collar
Just when Brando first encountered Dragon Queen Gwendolyn in Churning Silver Valley, the offensive of -- Gorgon Ravine army outside Bear Lake area did not stop for a moment. After the first loss of audio in Vargus area, Nafiel and Tarisse announced the collapse. Kirrlutzian finally figured out who the enemy was. The king of -- Lizard, 'Grey Eye' Moxar, Moxar command headed north with its army, and the soldiers swept through the Meilin area to the north of Bear Lake. The only place left was Anzlova The resistance forces also collapsed. At this time, the intentions of Gorgon Ravine people already were clearly revealed.
Obviously, their goal is Yasa --
If Yasa falls, the empire will face the danger of losing Evergreen Aisle, so as to isolate Four Borders Plain. Until this moment, it seems that the imperialists only reacted when they were beaten. Thane and legion all over the place quickly mobilized. As soon as the Queen gave her an order, she went to support, Bai Zhi legion pushed south to the vicinity of Evergreen Aisle, ready to help this most important lifeline in the southern part of the Empire.
But how easy is it to save the war?
During the previous offensives, some people even observed the dragon's existence, and the news from the Rocerch confirmed this. Two of the five underground kings participated in this war at least. The news shook the empire.
It seems that since the last war, the empire has never faced such a dangerous situation. From politicians soldier to commoner people, almost everyone is inquiring about this sudden war from all aspects. nobles is concerned about What kind of obstacles will this war bring to their interests, and commoners worry that the war will spread uncontrollably and drag them all into the quagmire of war.
At this moment, the battle of Anzlova is plunging the southern part of the empire into a misty mist. From Violet Valley to the Mez region in the northern part of the lofty Inland Sea, from Mantle Bay to Vanquer, countless lights are converging in various ways Here, everyone is waiting in anxiety, waiting for the message -- returned from Yasa
But there are always people who think farther.
...
"What happens if Yasa already falls?"
The question is raised. It is a big girl with bright sea-blue eyes. The blonde hair draping over the shoulders is like a wave-like girl. She is wearing a Princess long dress and sitting on a chair. Her hands are decently folded and placed on the skirt. At first glance, a well-educated noble lady, the former is looking up at Mrs. Merrier's -- and their history and noble teacher. And not far away, Fina was sitting on a high back chair looking out of the window --, which is a floor-to-ceiling window, outside the window is the winter scenery of the Lono Fortress, the forest still has a touch of teal color, But above treetops, it stands against the snow-capped peak of high mountain.
Mehotolfen, here is the plain and hills surrounding the snow-capped high mountain south of Ludwig. The melting snow accumulates into a river to wash out this fertile field. When winter comes to spring, flowers are here. All over the country, the countryman from the Alkash area in the east is called the place where spring flowers bloom, because the cold wind from the glacier in the east makes Gracius snow all year round. In comparison, the Woye area in the south is a warm place.
It later did get its name, the collar of flowers and leaves, the name of the land on the Correct side.
And his master, before the year of Tachibana, was a noble Brook. Brook Archduke died of typhoid fever in the year of wheat ears, and then what is now called gloomy Helix Archduke inherited the position of Duke and became the actuality of this land. The owner, Duke, is not an innocent ascetic, but he has no children. He has only two sons. His eldest son has died in the last war, and under the two sons, there is only a pair of granddaughters.
Fina glanced enviously at her carefree sister. My heart has long scorned the other person ’s stupid question, but this kind of scorn is out of a kind of sister's covetous attitude towards her sister, which has not been shown at all.
The relationship between the two sisters has always been very harmonious.
Elise is a well-known little angel known from Floral Leaf Shire, and Fina. The latter's spleen Brando has been personally taught. She has always been lawless outside. She and her group of fox friends and dogmates in the imperial capital have been playing havoc everywhere. Faithwind Circle only slightly converged after coming back, it seems a little lady so a little bit, this already is called Helix Archduke Thank goodness.
But what she has done since this time is to organize the one's own adventure stories into a book after returning to the territory, and prepare to get Lucita in the future as a bragging capital. -- Of course, before that, these stories have long been unique to her. The younger sister was familiar with it, and the little girl in the ignorant period was not bored. Instead, she was so full of admiration for her sister that the latter was full of longing for the outside world, but she could n’t do anything like her. Sister is so bold and embarrassing forget it/that's all.
After Iris asked that question, the hall was silent for a while, and Mrs. Merrier seemed to be thinking about it. -- was not in a practical sense, but was purely academic in theory. --. The influence of the empire ’s situation pushed the glasses and thought for a moment and replied: “Only from a military point of view, the empire is likely to lose Evergreen Aisle, but the symbolic significance of this blow to the empire is far greater than the actual meaning, the empire loses Evergreen Aisle can also support the battlefield of Four Borders Plain from Floral Leaf Shire. This is a rare opportunity for Archduke. If it was not against Faanzan, the geographical location of Floral Leaf Shire was actually not inferior in the slightest in Evergreen Aisle ... "
This lady's vital interests are closely related to Floral Leaf Shire. She was very worried about the Floral Leaf Shire business decline that was caused by the previous Holy War. When she talked about it, she immediately gushed.
Iris listened with interest, and Fina was already boring. She didn't know these things hundreds of times, and she heard cocoons in her ears.
More importantly, at this moment she has no heart to listen to these things. All the reasons come from the letter delivered to her by her father's housekeeper the night before.
The letter comes from the empire Lucita. The Kirk family, like many other large families in the empire, has a lot of eyeliners and relationships in the center of the empire's power. There are many letters whether at the critical moment or on weekdays. Between these families and their eyeliners and networks, these letters are no secret in the empire, but the letter sent to Fina is very different.
This letter has some special secret marks of this ancient family, and this mark can only indicate that this letter comes from some important member in this family.
For example, Helix Duke and Fina's father, -- Effie Count, are currently in the capital.
The content of the letter is very simple, just to say that the trip to the imperial capital has encountered some troubles, and it may take some time to return to the territory.
But the letter Correct caused Fina's suspicion instead.
There is no male member existence in the family at this moment, and it is absolutely impossible for her grandfather and father character to use a letter to solemnly inform her of this unprecedented precedent, -- Correct, which caused Her vigilance; this week she inquired about the imperial capital through the housekeeper Eliot, but strange things happened. The family's eyeliner in Lucita seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and no one could be contacted.
The news about her grandfather and father is also half-truth. Some news said that Helix Archduke is still living in the "Tulip Building" of the imperial capital, but the report sent by people sent by Eliot is completely false. , Duke and Lord Count left for the trip two weeks ago.
A variety of contradictory news, like a cloud covering the Fina, she has just begun to regret it. She didn't listen to her grandfather's orders earlier and seriously participate in the daily affairs of the territory. When she started, and no one could rely on, she only felt her eyes obscured.
"The last group of people should be back soon." The Young Lady felt like he was sitting on a needle felt, and the gushing Ms. Merrier couldn't help but become more abominable in her eyes at the moment, "This horrible old Virgin! "
Fina Distraught in her heart, she couldn't help cursing in a low voice, but unfortunately Ms. Merrier was in a high position in the territory. In the past, her grandfather -- Helix Archduke She will definitely not treat the latter because of her words. Most of the results are that she was punished and imprisoned instead. Fina Speaking already It's a routine thing. And now, Floral Leaf Shire It can be said that she made the decision alone, but she was not in the mood to avenge the other party.
While she was going to listen to drowsiness, there was a long-lost knock outside the hall. Ms. Merrier stopped again, looking sternly at Fina --. The latter rushed to her. A sorry gesture, jumping off the high chair, three steps and doing two steps to the door -- Regarding everything that happened in the past week and a half, she did not reveal to the others, not even Elise, because this noble Young Lady At least understand what that means.
Out of the door, the housekeeper in the castle has been waiting for a long time, Fina saw the close letter of his father, and quickly asked: "How is it, Mr. Eliot, is there any information about my grandfather and my father?"
When she asked half, she suddenly stopped.
Because Fina saw that her father's housekeeper named Eliot had a terrible look, she was the first time to see such a look on this guy who has always shown his face with poker.
Unforeseen, the Floral Leaf Shire's Her Highness the Princess had a bad feeling in her heart. She hesitated a little and asked, "Elliot steward, is there something wrong with their grandfather?"
Elliott nodded stiffly: "ojou-sama, something happened to Emperor, I think you should prepare early."
"What the **** happened!" Fina seemed to hit a stick in person, her face became a little pale, and could not help but ask a little scaredly: "Is it my grandfather and father ...
"You think too much, ojou-sama," Eliot realized that the little master had misunderstood and quickly explained: "Master Duke and Lord Count should be safe at present, but just a few days ago, Her Majesty issued an order. , Put them under house arrest. "
"Under house arrest?" Fina stunned for a moment. She seemed to be puzzled by sighed in relief at the same time and asked, "Why?"
She knows that since Her Majesty the Queen's ascension, she has always had a bad relationship with the Kirk family, but it does not seem to be bad enough to place a Duke under house arrest at will. This represents what it means, the imperial family and A powerful family broke openly. She believed that this was something she did not want to see, both for that queen and for the entire empire.
"Her Majesty believes that Duke and Lord Count betrayed the empire," Eliot replied stupidly.
"Betrayal of the Empire!" Fina almost jumped up: "What joke is that woman doing, how is this possible!"
Elliot didn't dare to take this sentence, because it was a bit too rebellious. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here. He carefully looked around, before reminding the little master: "Please be kind Be careful, Lord ojou-sama, Lord Duke and Lord Count already are under house arrest in the imperial capital. Her Majesty will surely strike us before the news spreads. You must take an idea. "
Fina for a moment.
I want her to take an idea, but what idea can she take? The only thing she can rely on at this time seems to be her teacher Veronica, but the problem is that Veronica has been placed under house arrest for the previous trip of Aouine. After Fina listened to Eliot's words, for a moment couldn't help but feel a sense of isolation. She felt confused and couldn't help saying to her father's housekeeper: "Elliot, I understand, you let me Quiet first, I'll tell you what to do later.
The old housekeeper seemed to see the distress of the little master, but he didn't reveal it, just nodded and replied, "If you need it, you can order me at any time." Then he turned away.
Only Fina left with a confused heart standing by the door.
She never dreamed that her ordinary grandfather and father ’s trip to the imperial capital would turn into this. She did n’t know whether she was crazy or her queen was crazy, because under normal circumstances, even if Her grandfather and father really betrayed the empire, and the royal family should not be so hasty. After all, the influence is too great. Her Majesty's hand has another reason to look at it, but the key is that she can't think of the real problem.
"It would be nice if that guy is here now, he must know what happened, it seems that there is nothing to hide from him." Fina couldn't help muttering to himself.
She stayed at the door for a while, and was about to turn around to tell Elise -- that this was the point. She knew that already could not be concealed anymore. The current situation was inadvertent, and the Kirk family might be lost . Of course, the same, this is the same for Her Majesty, this Correct Fina can not figure out, she does not understand why the supreme one of the empire seems to be suddenly crazy -- and Correct this time, a guard Ran in from the outside.
The guard saw her for a moment, but he didn't expect that the ojou-sama would stand by the door for a while, then hurriedly said: "ojou-sama, there is a group of Knight outside."
"A group of Knight?"
"No, to be precise, it should be a group of Knight and another person." The guard explained quickly.
"What group of Knight and another person," Fina replied angrily: "I'll give you a chance to explain what you want to say, otherwise I'll just throw it into the dungeon!"
The guard was startled, apparently did not expect to hit the venomous head of this Floral Leaf Shire Her Highness the Princess, and quickly and carefully explained: "There were two people outside the door, a few people seemed to be Knight in town, And there was only one other group, it seemed to be a messenger. "
"Knight?" Fina jumped a little. The so-called Knight in the town is actually the inner court Knight. These Knights have long been an open secret in their private territories such as noble. -- is in a remote place. The local Thane may I only know that there will be such people's existence in the one's own territory, but they may not know who they are. In archduchy such as Floral Leaf Shire, the royal family had to care about the attitude of each Duke, so the Knight stationed here was mostly semi-public.
As the watchers, the relationship with the watched people naturally doesn't harmonize where they go. They will come to the door, which is probably not a good thing.
Fina contacted Eliot almost immediately, and she frowned, and immediately wanted to refuse, but at this time Correct, she stopped again and asked: "That The messenger is not with them? "
"Yes." The guard replied honestly, and couldn't help but be grateful to the little Sorceress Princess general algorithm, and did not throw himself into the dark gurgling dungeon below the castle, which is not to say For fun, the last time there was a maid who was slightly inferior to the ojou-sama, was dropped by the Young Lady and locked for a few days. The little girl was still scared.
"Is it our messenger?" Fina asked again.
The guard shook his head: "It doesn't seem like he said he is from Anzlova. I think he looks like a liar. The place has been blocked for a long time now."
"Shut up," Fina coldly interrupted him: "I didn't ask you this, you said he came from Anzlova?"
The guard nodded.
