CH.16 A Different Prince

In May, Caiunescu is already in full swing, and the wind blowing from Lake Nancival caresses people's bodies, making people feel a sense of lazy comfort. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 This peaceful atmosphere even infected the newly defeated Praetorian Guards at the beginning of the year, although they were still busy with the work of regrouping.

At the Praetorian Guard headquarters, Rakoxiu hesitated, she wasn't used to going in and out of the somewhat old building. The guard at the door saluted her respectfully, but she didn't care. Racoxiu's target was the office of Ernest Sauer, the commander of the Praetorian Guard. After turning a corner on the stairs, Sauer's office quickly came into view. Knock.

"Please come in."

Lacoxiu pushed the door in, and Sauer was resting his legs on his desk, lying comfortably in his chair. Rakoxiu frowned, but still gave a serious salute.

Ernesl Sauer, 25 years old, was in the same class as Sogrend and graduated twelve places above Sogrend. He has black-gray hair and blue-gray eyes, and looks a little thin on the outside, but he is known for his bravery and fighting skills. It was not bad luck to serve in the Praetorian Guard as soon as you graduated. However, when several generals were killed and the whole army fell into chaos, he could successfully lead 5,000 horsemen to escape, and he could also be called a good general.

"General Becky, give you an errand suitable for women." Sauer returned to his rightful position, "The third prince of Citaros, that is, their next king." Arrived in Caiunescu today. Go out of the south gate and follow the royal road to fetch him. After entering the city, he served as his opening cavalry. The 36 cavalrymen are already waiting for you outside the door, go and go back quickly. ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands." Rakoxiu saluted and went out. Walking down the aisle, she thought to herself: Why should I be called around, forget it, anyway, I don't have to suffer this crime for only one year.

No sooner had she left than a non-commissioned officer of the Praetorian Army burst into Sauer's office, scaring the Janissary Commander so much that he almost fell out of his chair. "What does it take for you to be so flustered, you came in without even knocking on the door."

"Your Excellency, Princess...... That one...... Teacher ......"

"I see, did you call a doctor? Or do you notify the coffin shop directly? Does Your Majesty allow us to use all methods? Sauer's face turned green, but he still had to deal with it. The non-commissioned officer nodded again and again, and did not care to speak.

"Go assemble the Yeft squadron and carry out Operation 101."

"Yes, sir." The non-commissioned officer saluted and retreated.

The royal avenue on the outskirts of Kaunescu was largely built during the Nasibes kingdom, and is paved with neat ashlar stones and lined with dense trees. Falency did not tear down the road to build a fortress, as the barbarians had done in the past. But the increasing weeds on the road also show that the barbarians do not pay attention to the road.

On this day, a team of noblely dressed men and horses were walking down this avenue, and the trees on both sides had been spawned by the spring breeze to sprout new branches, swaying their branches slightly in the May willow wind. Driving the horse in the middle of the procession was a handsome young man with beige hair, whose status was evident from his attire. Yes, he is the third prince of Hitarus, Canitus.

Hitarus is located in the southwest corner of the continent of Yartikat, and she is bordered by the Yunvit Sea to the west; to the northwest is Renoske, and to the northeast is bounded by the Angalo Mountains and Pamis; To the east, across the desert of Grushitana are Skalan and Mastar; To the south, it encompasses the entire Bazani Peninsula, and the peninsula faces the vast Ihl Sea; To the southwest, Sylvestre, which divides Articut from Anvarasna, is the natural border between her and Efini.

King Hitarus had six sons and three princesses. The eldest son, Coles, is the current king, the son of the first queen, and is currently childless; The second son, Minox, had no inheritance rights because of his low status as his biological mother; The third son was Canites, whose mother was the second queen; The fourth son, Nathaniels, had died and had been raised by a second queen, who seemed to have little ambition for the throne; the fifth son, Fels, the second prince in line to the throne; Antaras, the son of the current queen mother, is the only son of the third queen, and the third successor to the throne.

Although Hitaros is geographically part of the Yartikat, the customs there are closer to those of the people of Anvaras. She is the only country on Yartikat that explicitly allows polygamy, and the only country that still retains chariot troops. The rest of the kingdoms largely defaulted to monogamy, and although Parmis stipulated that the king could have multiple wives, Arslang I did not now seem to be planning to marry a side wife.

The practice of polygamy is probably a major source of the manhood of Hitarus, and this is the case for almost all of the princes of Hitarus. Except for Mozi Antaras, who is still young, the rest are notorious by the standards of the Farencians. Among them, Kanites is the most famous, and it is said that the ladies and ladies who had an affair with him in the capital of Hitaros, Haiswa, could be formed into a "ride" (three chariots plus 250 people, a total of 262 people). Of course, there are also people who advertise that the prince only has sex with beautiful women, so the number of people is at most half of what was previously claimed. However, the people of the country, without exception, admit that the third prince was a good candidate for king, both politically and militarily.

Now, as Canitez looked at Kaunescu in high spirits, an arrow "swished" and instantly took the life of one of his personal guards.

The person who shouted "Protect Your Highness...... became the second victim, and soon most of the retinue suffered heavy casualties. Canites could only flee with the rest of the men in a hurry, and the other party's target was naturally aimed at him. Obviously, the plotters were well thought out. Otherwise, Canites wouldn't have stumbled to the ground.

The Assassins in ambush immediately swarmed up, and it was too late for Canitez to get up and draw his sword. Just as the future King of Hitarus was dying, 18 flying feathered arrows saved him. A female voice came: "How can the land of Pharansey allow you to go wild? Before the words were spoken, the hussars were already brandishing their sabers and rushing towards them. The Assassins were a rabble to the fierce Janissian Guards, and in the blink of an eye, 20 of them had been killed, two of whom had been captured alive and had committed suicide by biting their tongues.

"I'm sorry we were late for the greeting, and we didn't catch it alive." Rakoxiu gave a respectful military salute.

"It's okay, it's not a bad thing to be beautiful." The prince smiled and patted the dust off his body, I really don't know if he is cowardly, or if he really has the style of a king.

Ra Kexiu's heart skipped a beat, but he still said calmly: "Your Highness, please follow me first." My men will take care of the rest. ”

Canites' horse was still on its feet, and he remounted his horse, "Dare to ask the name of this young lady, and below that is Canites." ”

"The subordinate is General Rakoxiu Becky, and his father is the current commander-in-chief, Vifritz Becky." Racoxiu replied enthusiastically. If it were Chinna, it would probably only be two words that mean nothing other than a name.

Lacoxiu left 12 people to dispose of the scene, and led the remaining 24 horsemen to lead the way for the foreign prince. Soon, without much trouble, the group arrived at the main entrance of the palace. The guards of honor of the Praetorian Guards had already lined up on both sides of the aisle, and the fine red velvet carpet of Parmis stretched from the gate to the throne.

The Hitaros were led to the hall by Racosius, where Charles I was seated on his throne. The crown prince of Hitaros bowed to the king of Farensi, "On behalf of my royal brother, I pay my sincere respects to your country and present you with your credentials. With that, the prince's attendant handed over the credentials. The prime minister, who stood next to the king, took the paper and handed it to the king.

For Hitarus and Pharynsi, the alliance was almost a matter of course, and Hitarus had always had an alliance with Nacibis. Because for these two countries, they have a common strong neighbor - Mastar, then the choice of a policy of distant friendship and close attack is the inevitable result.

After reading the credentials, Charles I stood up and greeted the guests, "It is a great pleasure to meet you, Your Highness Canites. ”

"I am honored to meet you, Your Majesty."

"The mountains and rivers of our country also have a unique flavor, I hope you can enjoy your time in the country."

"I have heard of the beautiful mountains and rivers of Falunci in the morning, and I hope to spend a good night with beautiful women in your country. It's just that this time in the attack on the territory of your country, my guards have already suffered many casualties. As he spoke, Canites glanced at Racoxiu.

"There will be no problem with your safety," the king tried his best to show his master's generosity, "Rakoxiu, the prince's safety during his stay in our country will be entrusted to you, and you can choose any personnel from the forbidden army." ”

"Wechen should live up to his mission." Rakoxiu replied humbly.

"Your Excellency, go and rest first, I will entertain you well tonight."

"Thank you." Canites saluted and took them away, and Racoxiu took them to the hotel.

In the long corridor, the prince walked side by side with her, "Miss Becky, if you don't mind, would you like to have lunch with me?" ”

In normal times, Racoxiu would not refuse such an invitation. But at this time, she was worried about the safety and security of the prince during his time in the country, and unconsciously rejected Canitez in a cold tone mixed with impatience. She regretted it for a while afterwards, but it had an unexpected effect. The more you can't get it, the more you want it. This is the most common mentality in the human mind, especially among the privileged classes. Canites was no exception, and the hopes of this noble prince were particularly strong.

Far away in the capital of Pamis, Rubata, Sigrani did not reveal her assassination to the rest of the mission, leaving Cosette to take care of her injuries. On this day, Cosette brought Atalanta's pigeon biography with her while changing her dressing. Sigrani read the message while the dressing was changing. The letter said that Atalanta had intercepted an empress's envoy in the territory of Farensi, and that it seemed that the prime minister of Farensi and the queen's party had some conspiracy, and asked Sigrani for instructions on what to do next.

"Your Highness, how do we reply to Atalanta." Cosette asked after changing her medicine.

"Let her do what she wants, pretend to be the queen's messenger, and find out what tricks the Nacybis have."

"Then you can buy a favor for Lord Luce."

"Maybe." Sigrani had other plans.

Back in Caiunescu, after lunch, Canitez proposed to visit the cityscape of Caiunescu, but he didn't want to be too public, hoping to make a private visit. This request was so devastating that she had to put her men in civilian clothes at once, and she herself had to pretend to be the prince's female companion.

Canites walked the streets with ease, now just a rich Hitaros boy shopping with his "fiancée". It was hard for Rakoxiu to figure out that a person who had been assassinated in the morning had actually run out to play in the afternoon as if nothing had happened. However, it didn't take long for her to put her duties aside and fully integrate into the role of "fiancée". Originally, she was closer to an ordinary girl than Chinna, and with the correct guidance of Canites, this little woman's characteristics were undoubtedly revealed.

Kanitez looked at Rakoxiu's attitude and was very proud. In the process, though, they were disturbed.

"Ah, it's Rakoxiu, why don't you go to be a security guard and accompany the handsome guy here."

Racoxiu followed the prestige and saw the commander of the Forbidden Army, Ernest Sauer, and Sauer was carrying Princess Margaret in his hand. "Isn't that what I'm doing?" Rakoxiu replied in a low voice.

"Oh, so you're the big pervert with Hitarus." The princess who was being led looked at Canites and said.

"Exactly down there." Canites replied.

"So Your Highness Princess, you can't run around during this time, beware of being eaten by wolves." Sauer reminded the princess.

"This gentleman misunderstood, although he likes beautiful flowers, he is not enough to pick unripe buds. So you can rest assured. Canites replied with no change in his face.

"Why is that?" Margaret asked.

"If you pick the buds at the bottom, won't there be no flowers to pick at the bottom?" Canites smiled and said, "When Your Highness becomes a beautiful flower, I will definitely encourage my brother to pick you." ”

"Hehe," laughed the princess, "you're a pervert who pleases girls, but I don't hate you." During the period of the country, I hope that His Royal Highness can pick the flowers that are satisfying. After speaking, he glanced at Rakoxiu, and then added: "If my poor tutor had half your ability in this regard, it would have been your turn to pick flowers a long time ago." ”

Bidding farewell to Princess Margaret and Sauer, the crown prince of Cetarus no longer wanted to be subdued, and immediately resumed his due pomp. This time, Racoxiu had no reason to refuse to have dinner with the prince, and of course she had no subjective desire to refuse.

In the days that followed, Canites cleverly used official duties as an excuse to launch a love offensive against Racoxiu. Everyone could see that in front of a veteran of flowers like Canitus, Rakoxiu's chances of survival were slim.

In response, the upper echelons of Farensi adopted an attitude of acquiescence and connivance. Hence the comment of the Commander of the Praetorian Army: "In the face of the offensive of His Highness Canitus, the castle called 'Racowan Becky' will fall sooner or later. It's just that we don't know whether the reason for the fall was that the attack was too sharp, or whether the defenders had long wanted to surrender. ”

After the point was reached, Sauer still honestly went to direct the Yeft squadron to repeat, repeat, repeat Operation 101. At the same time, he realized that he had never missed a man as much as he did now, and that man was Thorgrande Leus.

It's almost difficult to give birth, and I haven't chased a girl in the next, and I don't know how to chase it. Therefore, it is impossible to describe the actions of Canites. But it's not a romance novel, so you don't have to worry about it.
