May 1, 363 Continental Gregorian Calendar, Hitaros, Grushitana. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The dragon knight forces of Titius arrived in Grucitana yesterday, bringing bad news with them. After the king's favorite side chamber in recent years was helped down by the dragon, she did not receive all the care she expected from the king. Minox watched as his brother and monarch roared at the Dragoon Commander.

"What about the princess? Why didn't you bring her out! What?! She won't go with you. Are you an idiot? In this case, even if you tie her, you should tie her up for me, you rice buckets, have you been flying in the sky for too long, and you are stupid in the sun? ……”

King Hitarus may have preferred to spend time with the young and beautiful side chambers, but Canites was not a mediocre person, and of course he knew that the princess was the assistant he could rely on at critical moments. If he had to choose, he would pack up his thirteen side chambers and give them to the Renoskes in exchange for Racoxiu's peace.

"Alright, alright, Your Majesty, please calm your anger too. It wasn't Titius' fault, he was just doing what he was told, though probably not very smart. Even if the princess stayed in the royal capital, the Renosk people would not do anything to her. After all, they would also be concerned about the feelings of her mother's home, the Farency side. Well, I'm sure she'll be safe. On the contrary, there is another situation that gives us more headaches. Minox grabbed his brother and waved Titius to flash quickly.

"What is it?" Canitez gasped and looked back at his brother, who was a head above him.

"Firth will be the next king of Hitaros."

"So what, I'm still here, and even if he is king, he won't be right."

"But you're dead." Minox sighed.

"How did you come up with that?"

"Don't forget, Palamedus took your Golden Helmet." Minox reminded.

"So, Firth would hold on to the position that I was dead, and he would naturally become my heir. He had my golden helmet with the blood of Palamedus, and it was hard proof. After being reminded by his brother, Canitez immediately understood.

"If I insist on your position of being alive, then Firth can still put me in the realm of 'rebellion'. And now that the princess is in his hands again, no one can convincingly prove that you are you. ”

"That's a big problem," Canites thought for a moment, "and then I'll be really dead." ”

Minox frowned, he didn't expect the king to say that.

"Then Firth will have a righteous name."

"How could he be? Even if I die, I'm not without heirs. ”

"You mean, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come down and be the banner on my side?"

"Exactly, well, as for my own situation, you can 'insist on the disappearance of unknown life and death'. Now that Theseus is in France, it is only right that you want to install him to succeed the king. And we can ask for support from Farensi in this regard, and in the character of our dear little brother, he will fight for this for us. ”

"However, I think even if I can hide it from Antaras and Queen Farensi, I'm afraid I can't hide it from another person."

"Speaking of that man, I heard he has two daughters?" Canites abruptly steered the conversation to another angle.

"It is true that there are two daughters, and the eldest daughter currently bears the surname of Lambente, and should in fact be considered the niece of Madame de Luce. The second daughter was their own and was said to be the heir to the Leuss family's fortune, but she had not been seen in the social circles of Caiunescu until now. Minox replied.

"In this way, the second daughter should be about the same age as my son, so let's find a way to make them a pair. It's good for us. "And I'm sure the young ladies of the Luce family are all stunningly beautiful." ”

The self-confidence of the "deceased" King Hitarus did not last long, and all that followed was bad news for him. The first is that the princess Rakoxiu has died. The cause of death announced to the public is basically true, and he was seriously wounded and died while fighting bravely with the Lenosk army. As a result, Prince Fels was left with only one royal family in the whole of Haiswa, who, of course, took over the reign and crowned himself king. The new government, headed by Fels, began peace talks with Renoske. Racoxiu was buried in the royal mausoleum along with the Golden Helmet of Canites.

It took a few days for Canitez to recover from this incident, and although he was no longer as passionate about Racoxiu, the loss of his wife and an important assistant, especially at this juncture, was a huge blow to his recovery.

The second and third messages that followed showed their strategic passivity. First, faced with the powerful Renosk army, Nathaniels was forced to abandon his own territory, Galatasaray. According to intelligence, Prince Nathaniels retreated to the hilly terrain to the west with only a small number of his subordinates. The governor of Scantine, Amphilos, then swore allegiance to Firth and arrested the emissary sent by Minox. An army of Reynosk is heading to Scantin to assist in taking over the Hitaros fleet there.

In doing so, the Renosques split Hitaros in two, driving both princes loyal to Canites to the barren and barren frontier, while Fels occupied the richest farmland and port in Hitaros. Not only did the Lenoske army succeed in establishing a puppet regime in Hitaros to serve them, but more importantly, they gained access to the Sea of Swana. Gaining access to a warm harbor in the south is something that successive Tsars of Renolsk have dreamed of for many years.

Now, for Canites, it has become more urgent to get support from Farensi.

Also May 1, Iberia, Valencia.

"Brother, brother!" An energetic girl's voice burst into the room.

"Sophie, how many times have I said it, remember to knock on the door when you come in." It was Richard, the crown prince of Iberia, who softly blamed the girl. The girl who bows her head and sticks out her tongue by his reproach is his half-sister, Princess Sophia.

"Well, it's all my brother's own fault, he didn't close the door properly, otherwise how could I come in directly?"

"You're naughty again, should I lock the door every time?"

"Hehe, good brother, forgive me." The girl said, holding her brother's arm and shaking it.

"I can't help it." Richard laughed too.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Sophia found a piece of parchment on her desk, and she jumped around her brother to get her hands on it.

"Ah, it's just some boring graffiti, nothing to look at, I'm going to scrape them off later." The prince snatched the parchment in his hand, folded it carefully, and stuffed it into his bosom.

Seeing Sophia's pursed mouth, Richard immediately took out his consciousness as an elder brother and coaxed, "Haven't you always wanted to go out for a walk?" Hurry up and change into an easy-to-move outfit, the two of us sneak out once today, and don't let anyone else know. ”

"Really?" The little princess immediately rejoiced.

"Of course, when did I lie to you?"

"Brother, you're so nice." Sophia put her arms around Richard's neck and kissed him, leaving the parchment behind her, and hurried out of Richard's room to her quarters.

Seeing his overly lively sister go, Richard hurriedly took out the parchment from his bosom. Looking at the painting on the parchment, I thought, "How could I be willing to scrape off such a vivid painting?" And what he was holding in his hand was the portrait of Celedora that the eldest prince of the Reims family had drawn with charcoal. Maybe Michelle could have been a good painter if he hadn't wielded his sword and wielded a stick.

After about half an hour, the prince and princess of Iberia changed into their civilian costumes and slipped out of the palace of the Duke of Valencia, thinking that they had been very secretive.

The bustling bazaar in Valencia was an eye-opener for Princess Sophia, who was raised in her boudoir, but her brother was not particularly impressed, as the prince had followed his father on many private visits before. As a harbour city, Valencia has so much to offer that you can't see in Debans. Since Iberia is a large producer of agricultural products, the demand for agricultural products is inevitably strong at all times. Countries like Navi like to come to Iberia to buy relatively cheap wheat and olive oil with their own produce.

Sophia was curious about anything in the bazaar, she looked east and west. Richard, anticipating his sister's performance, touched his purse, which clearly contained enough silver coins to satisfy the girl's petty desires. While the prince was taking care of his sister, he was also constantly observing his surroundings, and he was still quite alert. Because there had been encounters with thieves in crowded places before, even a master like Saugland Leuss was inevitably looted by pickpockets, and Richard had no reason to take it lightly.

The careful observation of the Iberian Dauphin was beneficial, and as he approached the port, a particularly conspicuous group of men and women came into his sight. At first, he was caught in the crowd because there were a few dark-skinned Mias in the group, but as the other side got closer and closer in his direction, he felt more and more that this group of people was not ordinary. First of all, there was a man among them who was a little shorter, with a peculiar appearance and hairstyle, and he was holding a long stick that resembled a monk's staff, and Richard could not tell his gender for a while. Secondly, there are two honey-skinned women who don't look like Yartikats either. Finally, and most importantly, among the three men and women who looked supposed to be nobles, the prince found a somewhat familiar face. The discovery caused him to freeze nervously, his eyes fixed on the handsome face, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, the other party did not notice this faux pas, and she was discussing something with her companions.

"We are such a large group of people, if we find an ordinary small hotel, we should not be able to live."

"What Theodora is saying, Mr. Paynes, are you familiar with this place?"

"Miss Hayes, I've been to Valencia a few times, well, if you want to say that this is a first-class hotel, I think the only one is the 'Mestalla' inn."

"Then let's go to the hotel." The woman named Sailor Dora decided.

"But I've heard that the house money there is very expensive."

"Don't worry, Estella, Mr. Paynes will have it all for us." Miss Hayes smiled at the poet.

"Teacher!" Rowland spoke up.

"If you have received a favor like a drop of water from others, you should repay it like a gushing spring. This is an oriental proverb that I just learned from Mr. Lan Feng. Pens replied, apparently expecting the uncle, who had no sense of numbers, to realize what kind of economic crisis they were going to face, unless the sun rose in the west and set in the east.

"We'll pay for me and Machik's part, please don't bother." Seeing this, Lan Feng hurriedly said.

"Don't care, don't care, let's talk about it when we're settled." Celeste patted Lan Feng on the shoulder.

"You should pay for your part." Machik said to Celeste.

"The old lady's business needs your kid's mouth! I also have an employer. ”

"You kind of mercenary who will only cause trouble for your employer, if I were Miss Nataya, I would have fired you a long time ago." Cyodora said suddenly.

"Ha, this eldest lady, when is it your turn to teach the old lady a lesson, do you want to find trouble?"

"I've long seen that your anger is not pleasing to the eye, Mexidis can be taken care of by us, you don't actually need to stay with us anymore, settle the account, and fall in love wherever you go."

"Ahh Look at you also carry a sword, you have the ability to fight with me alone, I can't see that I painted your face! ”

"Heads-up is heads-up, but don't worry, I won't draw your face, because there's no need!"

"Ahh Celeste struggled there, but her strength was still not as strong as that of Machik.

"Machik, you let go of that woman for me, let her let the horse come and try it!" When Cyodora said this, she was also pushed aside by Estella.

At this time, Fiore and Lan Feng noticed that the Mias people began to distance themselves from them, and Mbega even signaled to several of his subordinates: pretend not to know this group of guys. The two had no choice but to look at each other helplessly and smile bitterly.

What was a humiliating act in the eyes of others turned into a frank cuteness in the eyes of the Iberian crown prince. Richard watched the actions of the group so deeply that his own sister called him several times to no avail. Richard didn't respond to his sister's question, he just dragged Sophia quietly behind the noisy crowd. Watch them enter the hotel "Mestalla".

"Brother, what the hell are you doing?" The little princess pouted angrily.

"Sophie, don't you know? One of those people was Her Royal Highness Princess Theodora of Mastar. Richard said to his sister, "You should have found out." ”

"When you say that, there is indeed a sister with an aristocratic atmosphere." Sophia tilted her head and thought about it, but she must have admitted her mistake.

"Father is sending someone to find her, let's go back and tell Father quickly."

About an hour later, Kenisares arrived at the door of the "Mestalla" inn with a team of heavily armed knights, borrowing two of the most luxurious carriages from the Duke of Valencia. Although the shopkeeper of the inn was also a man who had seen a big scene, he had never encountered the king's knight come to his door to put on such a big show. He hurriedly ran out with a few cousins and asked what he could do.

And in the upper class room upstairs, the movement outside also alarmed the pair of master and servant who had settled here.

"Uncle Pei, what's going on outside?" The young man who called himself Maximilian in front of the King of Iberia asked his old servant.

"The King of Iberia has sent someone here to pick up a distinguished guest, it is said to be Her Royal Highness Princess Theodora, Your Majesty." The man known as "Uncle Pei" replied, his voice unusually hoarse. This is a strange voice, definitely not born with humans, and is usually only hoarse for people who have suffered some kind of accident or illness.

"It's not time to use that honorific title yet, Uncle Pei, it's more appropriate for you to call me 'Childe' or 'Young Master' now, even if there is no one. It's a constant reminder that I'm not done yet. Maximilian said, "Let's go out and see what the hell is going on?" ”

The master and servant walked out of the room, walked through the hallway, and hid in a corner on the edge of the stairs.

Kenisares explained his intentions to the shopkeeper and asked him to show him the record of today's visit. According to the news brought back by Prince Richard, Canissales easily found traces of Theodora's party in the register. He then asked the innkeeper to take him in and invite the princess himself.

After a while, Kenisares walked in front with courtesy, leading out several men and women.

"The girl walking in front should be Her Highness Theodora." Uncle Pei said.

"Oh, really?" Maximilian narrowed his beautiful blue eyes and looked at Theodora carefully. "Speaking of which, my niece is really a beauty like no other."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, we'll meet at the prom soon, anyway." Maximilian said, turning and walking towards his room.

Downstairs, while explaining to Cyodora and the others, Canissales muttered in his heart: he came like this once, and he got two princesses, a pair of counts and young ladies at once, and two ambassadors. And that's not even counting the famous poets. This should be a big gold mine.

In this way, it was good news for Roland's wallet, as he no longer had to pay for the food and lodging of the people in Iberia.
