Through the narrow windows of the terrace, the setting sun fills the floor, casting dark red streaks on the walls.

There are very few places left in the entire kingdom where you can still see the sunset, and Blue Water Harbor is one of them. Legend has it that the Hive Moon, which was shrouded in heavy snow and cold winds, had little impact on the area, and the entire city remained as busy as usual, except for the Black Sail Fleet, which was unable to leave the port.

And the owner of this harbor city, Garcia Wimbledon, was sitting at a square table under the window, looking intently at the letter in his hand. Her gray hair is dyed a touch of gold in the setting sun, and the light and shadow of her face set off her angular features, which is unique and heroic.

Farion had been standing beside her for a while.

Even though the letter had taken longer than she normally would have read the letter, Farion chose to wait quietly - he did not want to interrupt the silence by himself.

Eventually, Garcia sighed softly and put the letter down.

"My father is dead. ”

Farrion was stunned, "What?"

"My father, Arryn Wimbledon, King of the Grey Keep, is dead. ”

She rarely repeated what she had said, and he thought that if she had asked herself, she would have turned a blind eye to it. But she wasn't kidding? The king is dead?

"......" Farion opened his mouth to comfort her, but his words turned into asking, "How did you die?"

Fortunately, Garcia didn't care about this - she was the daughter of the three kings of the kingdom, the lord of the blue water port, and the supreme commander of the Black Sail Fleet, and she didn't need anyone to comfort her, "The letter said that it was my brother Goron who killed his father and was then captured by his guards. He committed suicide without fear of sin, so he was put on trial by the Hand of the King and several other ministers, and was sentenced to beheading. ”

"It's not normal," Farion subconsciously said.

"Of course not," said Garcia, with a blank face, "my brother is stupid, but not stupid enough to kill himself. He couldn't have done anything like this without guidance. ”

"Someone framed him?"

"Let me guess...... "the three princesses closed their eyes, "there is probably someone who has laid out a detailed plan to tempt him to say that he is willing to help him ascend to the throne - if you want to bring people into the inner courtyard of the royal city, someone must arrange them in advance, including eradication, exchange, and bribery. But that's not what Goron is good at, or rather, he's too lazy to do these chores. The rest is simple, the man who laid out the plan won his trust, but betrayed him in the end. ”

Farion is noncommittal, these are speculations after all, it doesn't matter how the process is, the key is the result. He believed that Her Royal Highness the Three Princesses thought so too.

Sure enough, Garcia opened her eyes and continued, "This kind of person has nine if not ten with the eldest prince, he has brute strength, he has muscles in his head, and it is normal for him to be played around. It's just ......," she said here, with a hint of anger in her tone, "my second brother's methods are too rough. ”

"You mean, it was Tifeco Wimbledon who did it?"

"Who else knows so much about Goron but him, and who is in the best interest of him after this incident?" Garcia tapped his fingers unconsciously on the table, "even a blind man can see it!, but because of his father's preference for him, he doesn't have to do it at all!"

His Highness was angry, and Farion realized that it was rare for the Three Princesses to show such a look. It seems that although she has always complained that Wimbledon III is too partial, she does not want her father to end up like this.

This feeling is more or less understandable to Farion, and in large families, the head of the family always feels this way to the younger generation—a mountain that wants to be overcome, both awe and hatred. If she is right, this matter is really committed by the second prince, then his actions can indeed be called brutal.

"But he ...... Why?"

"Because he's afraid of me," Garcia took a deep breath, as if controlling his emotions, "he's afraid of Black Sails." ”

Seeing that Farion didn't answer, she went on to explain, "It's not surprising that Tifeco has eyeliner in the Blue Water Harbor, just as I also set up my eyes and ears in the Golden Spike City and the king's capital. After learning about the existence of the Black Sail Fleet, it was easy to think about what I was going to do next, it was impossible for Golden Harvest City to raise an army that could fight against the Black Sails. So he used the stupidest method of all, using Goron as bait to get what he wanted. ”

"You mean, he wants the army?"

"He wants the throne," said Garcia, "and after the death of Golon, he will be the first in line to the throne, and with his father dead, he may be on his way to the royal capital at this moment." As long as he could become Wimbledon IV, he would be able to mobilize vassals and armies without territorial restrictions. "But, as I said, as my father is the most beloved son, he doesn't have to be. ”

"Wouldn't that be bad," said Farrion worriedly, "what if the second prince is crowned, announces the end of the reign of king, and orders you to return to the royal city?"

Garcia said disdainfully, "This step is too straightforward, and my father's preference for him does not mean that all the ministers will support him, especially the murder of the king - although Tifeco pushes it on Goron, it can also fool the common people of the kingdom, and it will take a long time for him to fully grasp the authority of the Grey Keep." So......" she looked at Farion, "I'll have to change my plans a little." ”

Farion immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I want to send you." ”

Garcia stood up and walked to the window, with her back to Farion, "He will be the first to deal with me when he ascends the throne, but the only means available to him is to order Joey Cole, the Duke of the South, to put pressure on me. The latter is expected to excuse the king's new death and the inappropriateness of the army during the mourning of the whole country - the old fox has always been unwilling to trade at a loss. At most, gather the vassals and make a show around the border of Bishui Harbor," the third princess paused slightly, "But these actions will cause us unnecessary trouble, so we will set sail tomorrow." ”

"Set sail, Your Highness, do you want to ......?"

"Eagle City is almost an undefended city due to its location in the interior of the kingdom. The town of Qingquan can be reached through the tributaries of the Sanwan River, and it only takes one day to get to Eagle City. Once Joey is taken, the entire South will be under my control. It's an interesting time difference, when he sits on the throne and wants to command Duke Joy, only to find that the whole of the South has become my territory, I don't know what his expression will be. ”

"But, as you said, Wimbledon III has just passed away, so—"

"Why, do I need to shed tears first?" Garcia turned, and the setting sun on the horizon covered her in a light fuchsia veil. Her countenance was lost in darkness, only the faint light of her eyes bursting out. The eyes were as solid as a rock, and Farion thought to himself, even if there was anger and regret in it, there would be no sorrow.

Grief is not for kings.

"No, you don't need to," he said earnestly.

Garcia nodded in satisfaction, "Go ahead and summon the captains to me." Since Tifeco doesn't want to wait until five years from now, I won't let him down. Once Eagle City is obtained, the entire southern realm will become independent. ”

It didn't matter if Tifeko did it or not, he thought, she would always find a path for herself from the unpredictable situation, and once decided, she would move forward. This is her charm, and it is also the reason why she has followed here.

"Yes, Your Highness...... No," Farion replied in a deep voice, "Her Majesty. ”
