The Amber Sword: Act 89 The Convergence of Storms (3) (First)
The eighty-ninth episode of the storm (three) (first)
"Month of the Autumn Evening17, written on Trentheim, Fir Tree Barony, -- and qi6 Gryphine Corcova Ordefeiss. In the battle the night before, Undead Army from Madah of 'Black Lord'Insidolon bypassed southern four shires and launched a surprise attack on -- to Fortress Fir. Major casualties, and Lord Baron Grudin also fought in the country during the battle. As the Lord Baron hospitality, the Kingdom's Pioneer Knight, and the Thane in the Valhalla area passed through here, I thought that the people had the obligation to temporarily take on the local defense work. After a night of fighting, undead has been repelled, but in order to prevent undead from invading again, from now on, it will temporarily dominate the defense and administrative work here until the new Thane personally appointed by Her Highness the Princess arrives -- "
Makarov received the letter, only to read half, his face became a little weird. However, he can be considered as well-informed, and continued to read with a cough:
"And I hereby inquire about Lord Count of Radnor's responsibility, why the news of Insidolon's Undead Army staying in Southern Territory is not sent, and the Madara army silently and silently passed four shires's dereliction of duty. Secondly, I hope to get Her Highness the Princess's understanding and finally follow up with The letter is accompanied by a magic stone recording the image of the battlefield, as evidenced by the words below.
He is raises head.
"The magic stone is here," Her Highness the Princess replied without changing his face, "please continue Minister Makarov."
"No, Her Highness the Princess."
"No, one more sentence." Princess's dense eyelash fainted slightly.
Makarov picked up the letter, and sure enough, there was a small line below it. Seeing that line of text, he suddenly felt his eyelids jump, and eyebrow also slightly raised: "-- Brando."
The scene is silent.
Makarov put the letter back in place strangely, and then looked at the others, jokingly: "Baron Grudin knows that I don't do my job faithfully, but this little guy is too brave ..."
He thought about it, and couldn't find a word to describe this kind of boldness: "It's ..."
"Rich!" said Lockwood master coldly: "This is a challenge to the kingdom, he is destroying game rules between noble."
Princess Gryphine frowned when he heard the word game rules. This subtle change in expression did not escape the eyes of the meticulous Count of Violet.
"What do you think?" she asked.
"I believe what Mr. Brando said." The first person who spoke was a surprise to everyone, and his mouth was Ike. Although this youngster was a little cramped, he stood up and said, "I know Brando A real Knight. "
"Humans can be disguised, lads." Master Lockwood said.
It is true that Makarov and Count of Violet both nodded slightly. As nobles who have experienced long-term struggles, they know much more about the human heart and human nature than ordinary people.
The expression of half-elven girl is a little dull. She does n’t see any approval or opposition between did not say a word. She was just a slight fan of eyelash, and her pale silver eyes looked at the youngster that opened for the first time.
"Master Lockwood," Ike salutes the old man with respect, but does not flinch at all: "Between life and death, people will not lie, let alone what I see is action, not just language. "
The childishness on youngster's face gradually became to vanish. He looked around at all the people except -- Princess Gryphine except --. He said: "Otherwise I don't think Mr. Brando can reprimand us so severely, and even the legendary divine artifact agrees with his words -- "
"Huh?"
half-elven girl was a little hesitant. She had heard Makarov and the others mentioned divine artifact induction before. But this youngster called Ike said that the Brando righteousness reprimanded them severely, and what did it mean by divine artifact induction?
She looked at other people with curiosity. This curiosity was no different from the curiosity of a 15- or 6-year-old girl about the external world, but she was a modest introvert in the behavior of this Princess.
Lockwood did not expect that Ike would pull this out. They originally planned to hide this little process, after all, it was not a glorious thing; but after seeing that Her Highness the Princess rarely exposed the eyes of a little girl, he knew to hide But go, if this Her Highness the Princess wants to know something -- then she will know that -- is speaking of her ingenuity.
The master coughed and nodded at Makarov.
Makarov is even more helpless, because it was him who was most reprimanded. Can not help but help, the crafty fox can only repeat the whole thing again.
After speaking, he also added: "Her Highness the Princess, we are not trying to conceal such small things deliberately."
Princess Gryphine nodded and tolerated: "It's not surprising that different positions and different opinions lead to conflict. But speaking, Teacher Lockwood, this is how you taught me --"
Lockwood bowed his head in a hurry and sincerely, he knew that this student was secretly complaining that he tried to hide this incident, which made the old man both panic and relief; naturally, the fear came from the suspicion and comfort of higher ranked person But it is this Her Highness the Princess that implies a complaint attitude rather than blame, which can also be regarded as a kind of closeness.
Makarov and Count Barry glanced at each other. It was sighed in relief, and Her Highness the Princess already indicated that they would not be held accountable. Although Count of Violet is nominally a deployment of Archduke of Ruhn, but since one's own Thane already chose the station team, he must wholeheartedly serve this new interest alliance.
But half-elven girl asked again, "But when you say that the one called Brando's youngster rebuked you, it had an induction with divine artifact. I'm curious what he said would cause such a big movement."
"He asked if we still remember the belief of the first king." Makarov replied in a low voice. In fact, Brando's questioning caused him to produce a huge shake. Every sentence that youngster asked was a direct hit.
At least for royalist, this is a question of their ideals and pursuits. It sounds intolerable, but the other party speaks reasonably, making them unable to refute.
“Oh？”
This time Gryphine is really interested, she suddenly remembered the story told to her by Oberbeck. That Knight took a group of refugees to charge the Madara's heavy army, the story seems to shine in the ancient times -- in the Aouine nobles body's blood has not become indifferent times.
What makes people swaying is that this story really happened in the same era as her.
So she remembers the Knight in the story forever.
But today, the words of Makarov made her reluctant to recall the scene again: "Can you talk?" Her Highness the Princess subconsciously asked.
Makarov is a bit embarrassing.
The Count of Violet next to him stood out for the first time, and he replied, "Let me repeat it."
"Thank you." half-elven girl nodded slightly.
Count Barry's complexion has become more serious: "I remember, in the most glorious age of Aouine. Aouine's Knights held the horn and the flying swallowtail flag -- as the horn blew, the blade of the kingdom went forward."
The room suddenly calmed down.
Makarov sighed one breath and took the words of Count Barry: "I remember, the battlefield is a sea of flags, with Corcova Emblem embroidered with gold, Golan-Elsen Emblem, Anlieke Emblem. I remember nobles of that era, but also Keep their vows -- "
"Remember that vow?"
"Of course I remember."
Her Highness the Princess closed your eyes slightly, folded your hands together and crossed your fingers, clasped tightly, and placed them on the tip of your nose as if praying. The answer in her mind must be clear to everyone, and she said silently, "I make a vow of the sage under this sword!"
"I swear to lead my people -- to lead them away from disputes and killings, away from the arrogance and greed of the empire noble; I swear that in order not to repeat this historical cold-blooded mistake, I will make this new kingdom nobles Following chivalry -- is fair and strict, upright and brave, kind and generous, I make this vow, and obey it with my whole life! "
When the last syllable falls, the weak and strong Half-Elven Princess is stunned.
The youngster said so clearly, it seemed to strike her weak -- Gryphine, she always thought she was strong enough, but when someone could understand her lifelong dream.
The strong half-elven girl is still stunned.
It's as if she didn't know there was another herself in another world, and she practiced it with the same determination and effort.
In that world, Aouine is like a tossed about by wind and rain boat in the dark sea, but she guided the ship in the stormy sea with incomparable faith.
The dream -- that always runs through the main line of Aouine in Amber Sword
It's like a light in the dark, attracting all moths that fight fire.
Either Valkyrie or Aouine's players, countless people have made their dreams overlap, just to realize this dream of Princess-Regent.
In that dream, the first king Eicht swore under the sword and led his Knights to break through this darkness and bring warmth and tranquility to everyone.
The dream is shattered.
But at this moment, this dream has just come into being. Princess Gryphine opens his eyes, and the magpies in recent days seem to be swept away. Although the dark clouds on the northern sky were getting thicker and thicker, the first snow seemed to be moving, but she felt that already had found her way.
"He said it well." half-elven girl's expression took a more serious look: "But the dream can only be achieved if it breaks reality. The difficulty will not be reduced by half as we become firm. The question is how do we go Respond. "
"What do you think?" she asked, raises head.
"Talk about your views on this matter --"
