The Amber Sword: Act 54 The curtain that rises slowly

South of the Anver Mountains, the autumn breeze called Ankalar by the locals is passing over the vast white plain. The waves of different depths and blades travel along a vast sea, and the rolling hills seem to be On the waves of the sea, a young Leonin boy riding a golden lion is standing on top of the waves, overlooking the shining horizon in the north of the plain.

The male lion under it is wearing gorgeous armor, with a beautiful pendant hanging from the lion's mane, standing in shoulder-white white grass, swinging its huge head from time to time, sneezing a little. The white field is the symbol of Torquine, and also the origin of the name Holy White Plain. This plain runs from the silver sand coast in the west to the border of the human kingdom in the east, and on its north side, under the endless mountains, the one named Kirrlutz Strengthen the Empire.

Leonin boy stared in that direction tightly.

"Naer, we should go back, there is the limit of today's patrol range, you have to go further, I can't afford this responsibility." Behind the low hill, another Leonin stands on its mount Next, shouted to the boy on the mound.

Leonin boy replied without answering: "it doesn't matter, we will get over there tomorrow." Its emerald-like eyes shone with a firm light, even by human standards, it was considered to be A pretty Leonin with a golden mane like tassels and a well-balanced physique. Although stronger than most humans, the muscle lines are very smooth. It bares the upper body and wears only heavy weight on the right shoulder and arms. Shoulder strap with a necklace made of animal teeth on his chest.

The Leonin below can't see the scenery behind the mound, but it knows that there was once a majestic fortress built with pure white stones transported from the plains, and now only the grass is scattered. The rubble proved it was also existence too.

"Naer, humans will pay the price," it said.

"Yes, Amon." The Leonin teenager replied.

...

Scarlett With the help of the maids, it took a lot of effort to pass through the long corridor, only to see the 'that person' in Sidney's mouth in a bird-speaking garden, as she imagined Differently, it is not a cold and harsh noble, nor a graceful lady, but a young girl -- who is a little younger than her age. Because the other person's body and face are similar to a fourteen-five-year-old human girl, with blonde hair and waist, and her face is as delicate as a doll --. The edges of silk robe and robe are rolled with a rough edge of ferret, and robe is extremely wide and almost drags to the ground.

The young girl looked in this direction with a clear blue sky. A majestic look made the waitresses trembled. They released the Scarlett halfway in retreat and bowed respectfully, leaving Scarlett alone standing uneasily. I do n’t know if I should do it.

"You are the one they brought back from the south?" As soon as The Silver Queen Constance spoke, the sound fell like a string of silver bells on the marble surface of the corridor. It was ethereal and crisp. She looked at Scarlett, and there was a gleam in her eyes: " It's really a beauty. "

"My name is Scarlett, can I may I ask ... here, what is it?" Scarlett saw the other side being a girl a few years younger than herself, and felt uneasy to vanish in his heart, and whispered. She did not expect this opening, but scared the maids behind her to death. Although Her Majesty was a woman, her indifference was better than that of a man. They had never seen anyone dare to speak so kindly with His Majesty, for fear The Lord Count accidentally offended the moody supreme one.

But Constance doesn't mind, but smiles infrequently: "Here is the palace of the widow."

"What do you mean ..." Scarlett looked at her blankly.

The maids who were still embarrassed were pale, and His Majesty's words were so obvious as already, but this seemingly incompetent Lord Count still asked 'what did you say', this is the same as calling him in front of him What's the difference? They almost already can imagine Her Majesty's anger, and then ensuing sin and wrath, they can't help trembling, as if falling leaves in the wind.

But different from their imagination, Constance is very interesting. She has never seen such a simple girl in her life in decades, and she looked at the Scarlett who was astonished. With pride, I laughed a little narrowly: "You didn't hear me wrong. This is the White Rose Garden of St. Cantipei's Palace. I think you should have heard of this place. As for me, I want to say something about this palace, and even beyond The broader land belongs to me, and I am afraid that no one will object to it.

Constance thought that this sentence should completely frighten this poor little girl, but she did not expect that this sentence was far less deterrent to Scarlett than the previous sentence -- because the mountain people girl knew that 'here is The Palace of the Widow 'what does it represent, but it is not necessarily clear what the deep meaning of the White Rose Garden in St. Cantipei's Palace. Under the rule of Holy Cathedral of Fire, as long as a person with a little knowledge should have heard of the White Rose Garden of Kirrlutz Empire's power center -- St. Cantipei's Palace, unfortunately, Scarlett, which has grown up in the Chablis mountain forest since childhood, is the rare exception, this one has a strong The politically named place name does not sound any different from the gatehouse of Valhalla No. 35 Qianmen or Fortress Fir Street Baron castle gatehouse.

Constance looked at the mountain people girl with a bit of disappointment and blinked, and asked her anxiously, "But how did I get here?"

"I asked you to come here." After all, The Silver Queen is the queen. This failed prank on the whimper looks like a swirl on the water in her heart, and disappears in a blink of an eye, and replied indifferently.

This sentence silenced Scarlett.

Constance's words seemed to inject countless chaotic memory fragments into her mind, linking the links of memory loss, forming a complete chain, she finally remembered that Alvina sealed herself in order to protect herself What happened after defeating enchantment, and everything in that dream real existence. She was transported from Lantolian to the sea, then passed through Grey Wind Port and Swallowburg, passed through most of the empire, came to the political center of the empire, and was finally liberated from crystal in Holy Cathedral.

Although she didn't quite understand how she became inexplicably Lord Count, she was not a fool. She also reacted at the same time and realized who the 'girl' was standing in front of her.

"Your Majesty," she replied, clearly agitated.

Constance nodded with satisfaction.

The waitresses behind Scarlett also finally breathed Usson, almost thankfully patted the chest. The Lord Count doesn't seem to be too stupid; but Scarlett obviously wants to fight them to the end, because she said Immediately the mood that they had just climbed out of the abyss fell back to the bottom of the valley instantly.

Constance watched Scarlett silent in front of her, and frowned tightly, clenched her fists. She raised her eyebrow slightly and asked, "I invite you to come here and make you an empire. Count, do you seem very unwilling? "

"I don't want to be Count, Your Majesty, I just want to return to Aouine."

The maids listened to their Lord Count and almost fainted --. If allowed, --, but after all, her Majesty was still in front of her, she could only tremble, grit her teeth, and count on one's own Lord Count with her heart. What rebellious words come.

Constance also seems a bit unhappy, she asked: "Why do you want to return to Aouine, because you want to answer your Lord Thane side? I heard that Lord Count is still the youngster -- youngster. little girl from this background is also a matter of course. "She shook her head:" But you have to understand that you and him are destined to be fruitless. He has a bright future, how could he be regarded as yours, and someone who can come to his bed in the future Either the daughter of a certain Duke or your Her Highness the Princess, and you are destined to be only a mistress, and ask yourself, is that what you want? "

Scarlett stared at this young girl who looked a few years younger than herself. She wanted to refute, but couldn't open her mouth. No, Lord Thane is by no means the kind of person in her mind, but what is the difference to her? Lord Thane already has a fiancee, and all she can do is just watch it all silently. The words of The Silver Queen pierced her heart like a spike, and as a mistress of Lord Thane's, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have such delusions. "No, Scarlett, you must not think so." She quickly shook her head and said so to herself.

mountain people girl raises head, her cheeks are already hot.

Constance stood idly by and then asked, "Do you still want to go back?"

Scarlett nodded.

Constance's face cooled down: "Do you think I will lets Azure Spear leave the empire, little girl, I would rather destroy it than see such things happen." Her voice was soaked and accumulated over the years. The majesty of supreme one is almost called Scarlett. Several mountain people girls fight with hands and feet. They are like sieve braces, as if they will collapse at any time.

But Scarlett looked at Her Majesty stubbornly. Her eyes seemed to answer the question already. Even if -- died, she would die beside Brando.

Constance is not difficult to feel this persistence, she snorted coldly: "It is not difficult for you to die, but you are not afraid to involve your Lord Thane, he has a great future."

mountain people The girl froze and clenched her fists and looked at her angrily.

Constance looked at the Scarlett like this, could not help shaking her head, she came raises head and said to the frightened maids: "You go down first."

The maids, if pardoned, hurried to retreat, but they couldn't help but secretly winked at Scarlett before resigning, as if they were afraid that this worldly Lord Count would offend His Majesty too much, and accidentally lost it Over his head. The round-faced maid even took the risk of her life and grabbed the hand of Scarlett, and shook it hard. This small movement naturally fell into the eyes of Constance. Her maiden-like queen did not see it at all, until the maids left. Later, she said, "Although it was the first time they met, they could see that they cared about you. Do you know the situation of mountain people in the empire?"

Scarlett is not a puppet. Naturally, she can feel the concern from these girls of the same race. She is slightly touched in her heart, but her face is still did not say a word.

"It's a stubborn little girl." Constance replied: "But you and me insist on you without any advantage. You are the Count of the Empire today, and will always be the Count of the Empire. Regardless of whether you accept this status, you She must be loyal to me with a sword. ”She warned again:“ I can tell you explicitly, Scarlett, from today henceforth, if you dare to leave the White Rose Garden of St. Cantipei's Palace for half a step, then I will send troops to attack Aouine and hang you. Beloved Lord Count. "

Scarlett was pale and looked at her in disbelief, but Her Majesty the Queen didn't care, and continued: "Of course, until you swear allegiance to me, I will will Four Borders Plain land as promised. As fief. But you have to remember that there is not much time left for you, do you not want to bet on the future of your adult Brando? "

The mountain people girl heard the name in her mouth, and her whole body almost became shaky. She seemed to be spinning for a moment, and her heart was at a loss; but she did not know how to get courage from there, and she suddenly raised her teeth and raised her Hands, the emerald-colored Holy Spear suddenly appeared in her hands, and she sent out a beast-like Growl in her throat, holding up spear-spear thrust to the lower abdomen of Constance. There was a squeak, and the azure spear almost punctured The Silver Queen. At the moment, Scarlett seemed to be loose, panting, but she raises head saw that there was no pain on the Constance surface, but it was cold. Looking at her: "... Lord Count, this is your answer?"

"You ..." Scarlett absentmindedly looked at the gun in his hand.

Constance raised one hand, put it on Azure Spear, and then pulled out the gun blade from her body one inch. She glanced at the belly stained with blood, and looked at the mountain people girl, shaking her head in disappointment. : "You are an Knight accredited person from Azure. You and your Azure Spear cannot hurt me. Go on, you need to be awake. But remember me, if you dare to act rashly, I will take Aouine first Operate. "

Scarlett was almost startled, a look of perplexity.

"Guard!" Constance covered her belly with one hand, and coldly shouted, "Bring Mitra Count down."

But for a moment, The Silver Queen watched the guards leave Scarlett away, and finally unwilling look appeared in her eyes. She gently pinched the bared teeth, and then released her hand on the lower abdomen. The palm of the hand already was blood red. However, instead of calling Priest or a doctor, she glanced behind a bush in the garden. coldly said, "Come out, what kind of system is the ghost." Only a moment, the bush rustling noise there shuddered and drilled. Come out of a man dressed in a housekeeper's costume. The man looked at the queen with a bit of fear and asked complimentally, "Your Majesty, are you okay, do you want to ..."

"Who told you that you can speak well in front of me," Constance interrupted him: "what are you doing there, all the people reporting outside could it be that are dead?"

"Your Majesty, of course not, because it is a confidential copy of Four Borders Plain." The man was startled, and replied quickly and resolutely.

"Four Borders Plain's confidential," Constance frowned: "What's wrong with elves."

The man hurried to some of the ears and whispered something to her.

Constance After listening, his face was slightly sinking. "This letter is true?"

"It's true, Your Majesty."

...

In the north of Yanilas and Greymount areas, the invasion of Torquine Leonin is gradually decreasing. This situation is very abnormal when the situation in the north is tense and day by day. The human scout headed north, and soon found an unprecedented army on the grassland. This army, which is converging from all directions, is now heading north, approaching the Anver mountain pass --, and soon passed Flash Sea. Cross the Ampere Searl in the south, go deeper inland, and pass it to those who need it.

"Brando Qing." When Her Highness the Princess called Brando in the courtyard, the latter was preparing a saddle for the horse. Brando saw the Princess Gryphine coming out of the house and couldn't help but hesitated for a moment: "Her Highness the Princess, I'm going to go to you."

"Come to say goodbye to me?"

Brando scratched his hair very noble. Although he did intend to do so, it was embarrassing to be spotted by Her Highness the Princess. Speaking of which is his home, Her Highness the Princess is his guest, so leaving the guest aside, but he is anxious to rush back to the territory, which is a bit impolite to say. It's just that it's not time for him to care about politeness.

"Sorry, Her Highness the Princess. My subordinate has been missing for some time. I must have seize the moment." He could only answer this.

Princess Gryphine is slightly dissatisfied: "You were not so polite when you fell out of my study that evening."

"Have I slammed the door?" Brando was shocked, and dared to slam the door with Her Highness the Princess. The title of his minister who passed him out was afraid he could not run away. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Makarov that night Just one step, how did it become a door.

Princess Gryphine watched him quietly: "Brando Qing, you and the royalist political opinions, this is nothing, I understand that your ideal -- can be old noble's power in the kingdom, royalist is also part of them, you three times five times Offending them, they may not give up. "

Brando is a bit disdainful. For the old noble in the Her Highness the Princess mouth, he knows too much about previous life, which is a group of people who are useless. royalist can still make a difference among them, but it is still so. He spread his hand and said, "I just show my attitude. As for Mr. Makarov's courage to break their braves, I admire them very much, but I don't dare to compliment. Today Kirrlutzian can take a person from the land of the kingdom, and tomorrow they can take it away More people, if Aouine cannot protect its people, how can this ancient kingdom talk about dignity? "

"I understand," Gryphine replied, "But Brando, what are you going to do, really declare war on the empire as you said?"

"Are you here to discourage me, Her Highness the Princess?"

Gryphine shook his head slightly: "I can't persuade you, but I believe you will be measured, right, Brando Qing."

Brando heard the helplessness in the tone of Her Highness the Princess. The momentum could not help but weakened a bit. It seemed that it was not a face-saving thing in front of the lady. He was silent for a moment and nodded: "I have not been blind At that point, the war or not depends on the attitude of the empire, but I must bring my subordinate back from Kirrlutzian. After that, it is not easy to say whether Her Majesty will be angry and thunderous. But in any case, Aouine Need to be prepared for war. "

Her Highness the Princess Pico sighed in relief.

"I knew that you would have a measure."

She paused: "Then, I'll appoint you as the Commander of the ambassador of the Empire of Aouine, you see, Lord Count."

Brando saw Her Highness the Princess raises head come to look at himself, there seemed to be a certain tricky light in the eyes of pale silver grey, could not help but slightly stunned: "Envoys, what envoys?" His brain for a moment did not turn a little In order to recover the hostages, in order to recover the hostages, Murphy Her Highness the Princess also set up a special envoy to condemn the empire, and so on. This is too outrageous. He originally wanted to bring a small group of people into the empire and secretly rescue Scarlett, but the great idea of ​​Her Highness the Princess was much stronger than his idea.

This is a face to face empire --

"Her Highness the Princess, this ... is a little bit okay." Brando was startled, and carefully answered the words carefully.

"Why?"

"This ..." Brando thought for a while, and thought that Her Highness the Princess might be too idealistic, he had to explain: "Kirrlutzian is still a good face, and that The Silver Queen is even more so, if we do this , Wouldn't it keep them off the stage? "

"Where did you think of it, Brando Qing?" Her Highness the Princess looked at him in surprise: "I'm asking you to serve as an envoy of the Holy War Holy Cathedral of Fire warring states, and envoy Aouine."

"Holy War?" Brando couldn't help losing his voice: "Holy War started?"
