Chapter 1119: Wooing
After listening to the empress's explanation, I looked at Princess Analita again, and said in my heart that this girl would never offend others, after all, she had been showing herself as an idiot before, and no one would be so narrow-minded as to put a fool to death.
In this way, there are only three situations: first, the elven queen has something to hide; Second, what the Elven Empress overlooked; Third, the other party has other plans.
The first two situations are put aside for the time being, after all, it cannot be verified, and when the empress speaks, her expression and demeanor are very natural, not like she is disguised.
If it is really the third case, it is very intriguing, is there someone who covets the position of the empress?
I wanted to ask the Elven Empress if anyone wanted to seize power, but I swallowed it back, after all, this is an internal matter of the Elf Clan, and it is inconvenient for me as an outsider to ask more.
Bowing her head and pondering, the empress said, "Mr. An Xiaoyi, you seem to have something to say?" ”
"Hmm," I replied, looking up at the Empress, "just something inconsequential. ”
"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask, I won't mind," the Empress said earnestly.
"Okay."
I only answered lightly, and then said no more.
After that, the empress got up and went back to her room to look after the little princess, while the others sat around the coffee table and talked in whispers.
I asked Phoenix, "Is Princess Anareta awake?" ”
Phoenix shook her head: "I've been sleeping, but just now Grandpa Taylor said that Princess Anareta was in a coma for so long because she was seriously injured and frightened, maybe in two or three days, she will wake up." ”
I said 'um' and got up and walked into the little princess's room.
Princess Anareta on the soft bed is quiet and weak, like a sleeping beauty.
The Elven Empress gently held her hand, rubbing it over and over again, as if rubbing the rare treasures, she rubbed it, and seemed to say to herself: "This child has been very lively since he was a child, every time he sees me, he will rush into my arms, not like a princess at all, I always train her for this, but she never cares, only says that she doesn't want to be a princess, she just wants to be my sister......"
At this point, the words stopped, and there was a choked and sobbing sounding intermittently.
I silently handed over a tissue, the Empress took it, gently wiped the tears, eased her emotions a little, and sighed: "If I were not the Empress, she was not a princess, maybe this would not have happened......
"But it's already happening."
The tone of these words made me feel cold.
Thinking about talking like this to a sad woman, it's always bad, so I softened my tone and said: "Things have happened, it can't be reversed, those stupid assumptions are impossible to hold, since you were born in the royal family, take over as the empress, you must have already had this kind of awareness, it's just that the accident came suddenly, and you can't adapt to it, but if you can't adapt to it, you have to adapt, if you are out of proportion, it is the situation that those murderers who hurt your sister are most happy to see." ”
The Elven Empress pondered for a long time, and said: "I know what you want to say, my clan is not as glamorous as the outside is praised, and there are many dirty things in it, what noble pride, what peace and respect, it is just these people's imagination, or troubadours make up speculations, the relationship between the royal family and the nobility is the same as that of other towns, they are all symbiotic but intolerable, the royal family wants to control the nobility and unify the power; The aristocracy wants to usurp the throne and seek power, and become the new royal family, the two factions are like fire and water, and disputes are continuous, and perhaps, her sister is the first victim of this matter. ”
"I almost came in second."
I said silently in my heart.
"Now that you have an idea, why don't you follow the vine and find out the guy who hurt your sister?" I asked, puzzled.
"There are so many nobles, and how do I know who is responsible for such a great rebellion," said the empress, "and now all I can do is to verify the identity of that man, find out his family and friends, and see if I can ask any useful clues." ”
"Good idea," I said, "but it really works?" ”
The Empress was puzzled.
"You also said just now, the filthy things of the elven clan abound, how could those royal families leave people who are a threat to themselves?" I shook my head and said, "Perhaps, the people who have the slightest relationship with it have already been killed." ”
The empress was silent, and after a while, she said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but things must be investigated one by one before they can be revealed." ”
"By the way, I remember that you have a very powerful friend, the one who did a great job in catching human traffickers last time" The empress thought hard, but she couldn't remember who that person was.
I said, "The Empress is talking about Wren, the assassin." ”
"Yes, it's him," said the Empress, "could you please ask him to help too?" ”
"This ......" I looked embarrassed: "I don't know if he is willing to agree, after all, he is a friend, and there are some things that are not good to force him." ”
"I understand," said the Empress, "I mean, if he is willing to help, I will invite him, and if he is willing to help me, I will give him a title of nobility and a domain." ”
At this time, don't you forget to attract talents?
I was a little dissatisfied, but I didn't put it on my face: "Okay, if he agrees, I'll bring him over." ”
"I would be even more grateful if I could bring him for an interview," said the empress, "and I would like to be treated with courtesy." ”
It's getting excessive......
I swallowed my anger and smiled, "Okay, then I'll call him over now." ”
Out of the treehouse, I walked towards Wren's treehouse, guessing Wren's answer when he faced the Elven Empress.
From what I know about him, it is probably impossible to agree to serve Her Majesty, and it may be possible to help Her Majesty arrest the murderer, but it is bound to take advantage of this matter to ask for a sky-high price, after all, he is not only an assassin, but also a businessman.
When I arrived at Wren's house, I entered the room and sat down on the sofa, and I told him about the cause and effect, and Wren threw away the paintbrush in his hand: "Women are really troublesome. ”
I laughed and said, "Maybe she's just a simple love talent, I'm afraid I can't tell clearly, and I've lost a powerful guy." ”
Wren sighed, got up, and changed his clothes: "Let's go." ”
I looked at him in shabby clothes and couldn't help but say, "Just wearing a suit?" ”
"So what else do you want?" Wren said: "Is it possible to take a good bath, wear fancy clothes, and go respectfully?" ”
"You don't have to take a shower, you always have to be neat and clean," I said, "just take it as my order." ”
Wren gave me a blank look, silently walked back to the back room, and when he came out again, he had already changed into a new set of clothes.
It's a new dress, and it's just a little cleaner and tidier than the previous one, but it's a big compromise to be able to do this.
I looked up and down a few times with satisfaction, nodded and said, "It's worthy of being the boss of Rennes, how do you think you feel that Wei'an is mature and has a sense of security." ”
Wren grinned: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go." ”
