"Alice, Alice......" Ignoring the majesty and solemnity of the palace, Hurington held Alice's black dragon scale armor and shouted here, and before he approached the dormitory where Alice lived, his voice had already been heard by the nearby palace guards. In the past, these guards would have stopped Hulingerton from making a loud noise, but now they don't bother to care so much, they know that this man is a good friend of Princess Lance, and it is useless to talk about it.

Hurrington didn't mean to scream, he was so happy. Recently, he has made many progress in alchemy, not only has a further understanding of the ice feather of the Holy Snow Ice Phoenix, but also has broken through new difficulties in his own alchemy. Alice's black dragon scale armor had been changed by him no less than three times, and this was the one he felt he had changed the most.

"Hey, isn't Alice here?" Arriving outside the gate of Alice's palace, but without waiting for Alice's response, Hurrington turned his inquiring gaze to the guards guarding the place, hoping for an answer.

The guard shook his head: "Her Royal Highness the princess has gone out, you should play in the back garden." Today the princess does not seem to be very happy, and there may be something unhappy. ”

"Unhappy? Isn't her brother's business over? She's been in a much better mood for the first two days, how could she ......?" said Hurington, puzzled, toward the palace garden.

Alice was indeed in the palace garden, she was in a daze by the small pool, quietly looking at the ornamental fish in the pool, silently squatting there. She didn't notice until Hurington walked to her side.

Hurington smiled and took the black dragon scale armor and said, "Alice, take a look, this time the change is definitely better than last time." I've consulted a few alchemy instructors, and they've given me a lot of inspiration and inspiration, so why don't you try it right away?"

Alice lowered her head and pouted, not wanting to say anything, but only picked up a stone and threw it into the fish pond, startling the dragonfly lying on the water.

"What's wrong? I just heard the guards say you're not happy. Hurrington asked, "Are you still sad about your brother's affairs? It's time for the sadness to pass. ”

Alice shook her head, her eyes reddened, and looked up and asked Hurington, "Hurington." You say I'm a master...... Did he forget about me? Or did he not have me in his heart at all...... Without us?"

Hurrington was puzzled: "Why did you mention him in a good way?"

Alice sniffed, trying not to cry again, and said, "In the morning, I listened to the guards talk about the front. Only then did I know that Philippe Ruhl's death was related to his master. The master's guardian dragon, Zafino, not only indirectly killed the general, but also killed ...... Killed a lot of Demon Moon soldiers, many, many ......"

"I see. "Sherington didn't expect that to happen.

"You said master, he helped St. Vickya fight against the Demon Moon like this. Didn't you care about my feelings at all?" Alice's eyes turned even redder after saying that, and she quickly turned her face to the side to prevent Hurrington from seeing it.

"This ......," Hulingerton thought about, "your master is indeed more pragmatic, and he is a little unscrupulous in getting the dragon zero. It must have been because of this that St. Vickya's temptation to participate in the army's war. But to say that he doesn't care about your feelings at all, I don't think so. ”

"Really?" Alice used to ask too, but she absolutely trusted her master. Can ...... now She was a little unsure.

Hurrington affirmed, "Of course. On the surface, he has always seemed hard-hearted and even a little vicious, but I can tell that he still cares about you along the way. ”

Alice thought back to the past, and it was indeed the case, and calmed down a little. But my heart is still as sad as if I have been greatly wronged.

Hurrington stepped forward and comforted: "Don't be too sad, I don't think Bing Zhiyi will really become the enemy of the Demon Moon, he is not a ruthless person. ”

"Hmm. Alice nodded: "Hurrington, I want to go out for a walk, can you accompany me?"

"Go out?" Hulingerton thought it would be better for her to go out for a walk, so he said, "You have been stuffed in the house since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was killed, and it is time to go out for a walk." But you should talk to the queen and bring more guards. ”

Alice shook her head: "I just want to walk quietly and go to the place where my brother was killed." ”

"But ......"

Alice's red eyes looked directly at Hurrington: "Those murderers are targeting my crown prince brother, and now that they have succeeded, will they still want to kill me?"

Seeing that she was a little excited, and did not want to stimulate her, Hurrington said, "Then dress ordinarily, so that it is not easy to be recognized when you go out like this." ”

Alice did not object to this, returned to the palace and changed into ordinary clothes, and went out with Hurington. At this time, Alice was no longer under all the supervision and restrictions on leaving the palace before, at least she had traveled outside and returned safely.

In the suburbs, the blood has long been covered by time and dust, and Alice stands at the place where her brother was killed, and she seems to be able to smell the smell of blood in the air at that time. The cruel scene, the bloody scene has been deeply imprinted in her heart, although she has seen death and carnage in the past two years, but the tragic death of her relatives has become a lingering shadow for her.

Standing on the side of the road silently remembering, this kind of mourning should go to the cemetery, but it seems to be more engraved in people's hearts here. Hurrington stood by and watched silently, although he was usually bored, sarcastic and teasing, but he was not an uninteresting person, and he did not want to disturb her at this time until she wanted to leave.

In the distance, pedestrians walked all the way here, and it seemed that they had come a long way. Such pedestrians can often be seen in the vicinity of Thebiles, and most of them come here with their own business and purpose.

Pedestrians rode in horse-drawn carriages, the kind of carriages drawn by monsters with long-distance endurance. They passed Alice and drove towards the city in the distance, leaving only dust rolling up along the way.

Alice was knocked back unconscious by the passing caravan, and she wiped the tears from her eyes and said to Hurrington, "Let's go, let's go back." "She came here because of her playfulness and lost her brother's life, and expressed her deep apologies, hoping for her brother's forgiveness here. Although she knew that this way of comforting the dead was nothing more than a kind of self-forgiveness and redemption, she really hoped to make up for her mistakes in her heart.

Hurrington was like a silent messenger of flowers, who had quietly escorted the princess here, and now quietly escorted her back.

The wind, blowing, blowing the white bouquets on the ground, and people go away with the final regret and helplessness.

......

Back at the city gates, Hurrington and Alice are about to enter the city, but they are attracted by an argument in front of the city gates. Upon closer inspection, Hurrington saw that one of the people involved in the argument was the same convoy of horses that had just passed them.

The number of this convoy was not very large, only five carriages, but the carriages were very sturdy and exquisite, not rented from the stables, nor like the cars used by ordinary wealthy merchants, which can be seen from the monsters in the front cover of the carriages, because they are valuable beasts that can fly and walk.

The other group that sparked the dispute was a caravan of people who had just purchased a large amount of local luxury goods from Thebiles, and were going to sell them in other major cities of Rada for profit. The political capital of a country, and possibly the fashion capital of a country, dominates the fashion and culture of the country, and the rest of the country will of course follow the trends here.

Generally, those who can do this kind of business are the nobles of the imperial capital or businessmen who have a relationship with the aristocracy, and only they can get the most popular and suphunting things in the imperial capital, and then sell them. Such people are usually more powerful and have no one in sight, so when their goods are knocked over by an outsider's carriage, they will always behave very unreasonably and cause disputes.

"Do you see clearly? The truckload we pulled, every piece of it is extremely expensive, it is a work of art. The person who was knocked over pointed to the outsiders who were about to enter the city and kept saying: "Do you outsiders know what a work of art is? A work of art is what you say it is worth, and it is worth as much as you say." ”

"So you're trying to blackmail us?" said the accused outsider without showing weakness: "You just said that I was worth as much as I wanted, isn't it? Hey, I see, these rags are worth ten gold coins at most, and we are willing to promise to compensate you tenfold, you should be secretly happy." ”

"You...... Hmph!" The party that was knocked over the cargo said angrily: "You don't have to come with me like this." You don't want to see what kind of place this is, whose territory it is! This is the imperial capital, and outsiders have to be honest with us when they come here. Hmph, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been killed recently, and suspicious people are being arrested inside and outside the city, and I think you people are very suspicious. ”

The accused party was furious: "You are blackmailing and shameless......! Are you people of Thebeles such qualities?"

"Quality? Are you people also worthy of talking about quality with the people of the imperial capital? Don't think that you really think that you really think of yourself as a nobleman after taking a few beautiful carriages, a bunch of country guys and nouveau riche. The party that was knocked over the goods was full of disdain and mockery, and sneered: "As for blackmail, the hillman always can't change his ignorant nature, and it is a matter of course to compensate for knocking over other people's goods, no matter how unreasonable you are, you have to pay money." ”

The rest of the caravan shouted, "Yes, yes, you have to pay money, even if the sheriff comes." "The people of the caravan must have been outnumbered, and they had the advantage of the local area, and when there was a commotion, many people around them also started to make a commotion.
