"Original...... Something like this happened in the South! ”
A look of horror appeared on Kalia's face - the kingdom of Lordaeron had been at peace for a long time, and she had never experienced a war in her palace, let alone a war with those terrible aliens.
"yes...... When this happened, Mr. Fao and I had to flee to Lordaeron with these refugees; It is hoped that His Majesty King Terenus will be able to take in these refugees - they have nowhere to go. ”
Benedictas said with emotion.
"My father will take them in! My mother used to say that my father was the most merciful and wise king Lordaeron had ever seen! ”
Kalia exclaimed.
"Of course, Mr. Fao has always praised King Terenus's virtues."
Benedictas echoed Kalia's words with a smile on his face.
"Oh no!"
After talking to Benedictas for a while, Kalia realized that she seemed to have forgotten something; Her face suddenly became depressed, and she looked a little lost.
"What's wrong?"
Benedictas asked.
"It's Arthas, he's gone!"
Kalia said with a sad face.
"What? His Royal Highness the Prince of Arthas? ”
Not only Benedictas, but even the two Lordaeron royal guards behind Malone also exclaimed.
"No...... No, it's not the kind of missing person you think...... Today my father was going to meet with guests from the south, and Arthas pestered him to go with him to the throne room. However, the father did not agree; My mother went to a banquet at the estate outside the city, as she had scheduled, and before leaving, she told me to look forward to Alsace. ”
"I was going to leave Arthas in the room. But he insisted on playing hide and seek with me in the garden; At first I thought he was hiding somewhere, but ...... Arthas must have run away secretly, his father wouldn't let him participate in the proceedings in the throne room, and he had been very unhappy, so I wanted to come here to see if he had sneaked in. ”
Seeing that Benedictas and the guards had misunderstood what she meant, Kalia hurriedly explained.
"Nope. No, Her Royal Highness Princess Kalia. The two of us will be here all the time, if His Royal Highness Prince Alsace goes in. We won't be invisible. ”
The two guards shook their heads and said.
"But...... So where will he hide? ”
Caria said bitterly—she was not worried about the danger of Arthas—that there was no safer place than this was Arthas's home, her father's palace.
And there was no need to worry that Arthas would run out - Kalia was confident that her father would not choose to be reckless enough to let a prince who was still a child leave the palace guards.
Kalia was only worried that Alsace would get into trouble - it was a big day, and the guests from the south were asking to see their father. And even after such a tragic thing.
What if Arthas does something disrespectful...... Kalia didn't want her dearest brother to be punished for being naughty—King Terenus was perhaps the most magnanimous monarch of all time. But he has always been very strict with his children.
"Lord Benedictas, I'm going to leave first, and I'm going to go to Lady Gothroth and ask her for a few maids to help me find Arthas."
Kalia bowed slightly to Benedictas, then said politely.
"Princess Kalia...... Your Highness, if you need it, we can help you find His Royal Highness Prince Alsace together. ”
Malone stood by Benedictas' side. Said in a chivalrous manner.
"Really? That's really great! So, I and Miss Gusros's maids went here to look for it. Horse...... Your Excellency Marlon, please help me find Alsace in this nearby garden! Thank you! ”
Kalia nodded in surprise, then lifted the hem of her skirt and ran quickly to the other end of the corridor.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Kalia, I ......"
Malone stretched out a hand to the girl's still immature back, trying to say something, but Kalia had already disappeared at the other end of the corridor—Mallone keenly heard the sound of "poof", which came from the girl's light steps on the stairs.
"Marlon, you...... Are you familiar with this palace? ”
Benedictas turned his head and looked at his fellow disciple with a look of astonishment, who was also half a disciple.
"Of course not...... My first time here. ”
Marlon lowered his hand and said with a wry smile.
"But...... Why did you take the initiative to help find His Royal Highness Prince Alsace? The first time I came here, I almost got lost, this palace ...... It's too big. ”
Benedictas asked Malone in confusion.
"If I say I'm just being polite...... Do you believe it? ”
Malone spread his hands and explained to Benedictas.
……
"His Royal Highness Prince Alsace! Where are you? ”
Marlon was in the garden near the throne room of the Lordaeron Palace, shouting as he walked.
Although he knew almost nothing about this palace, since he was asked by Calia, Marlon still had a helping attitude and looked for the mischievous Arthas in the garden.
The garden is not large, and the view is quite open; Marlon carefully examined the flowers, and the stone tables and benches, and found no sign of Arthas, so he planned to go through the other exit of the garden and look for it.
"Hey! Feed! This knight! Feed! ”
Just as Malone had passed through the exit of the garden and entered a somewhat dense boulevard, he suddenly heard a slight shout from his right.
It can't be such a coincidence—Marlon looked at the trees to his right with suspicion.
Easily, Malone spotted the anomaly - he saw a patch of white cloth in the flourishing canopy of a small tree more than a man tall.
Malone approached the little tree and took a closer look—it turned out to be a small ...... Fart/strands - light breeches sewn of white fabric were exposed outside the canopy, a pair of small leather boots kept kicking and swaying outside the canopy, and some muffled sounds were coming from the canopy.
"Alsace...... His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
Malone hadn't seen Arthas as a child—and even if he did, he wouldn't have been able to recognize Arthas by a fart/thigh and a pair of feet—so he asked.
"It's me! I'm over here! Over here! Get around! ”
The slightly immature voice was much clearer this time, so Marlon followed Arthas's instructions and walked around to the other side of the tree.
Seeing the scene on the other side of the canopy, Malone couldn't help but want to laugh - a dirty head came out of the canopy, looking at him with a bitter face. (To be continued.) )
