The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 10 Black Pine Mountain

Yize looked at little Loli Anne, and said softly:
"I will come back as soon as possible. You and Sister Cinderella can stay at my place with peace of mind. By the way, I even hired a teacher for you. You must study hard. I will check when you come back."

Along the way, Ize had already told Annie that she had the magic talent of the fire attribute, as long as she studied carefully with the teacher, she would be able to become a magician sooner or later.

Annie actually didn't know what this meant, but secretly felt that magicians were very powerful, and when she became a magician, she could stand beside Brother Yize and help him.

"Yeah, Brother Prince, I must listen carefully to what the teacher says." Annie said with a serious expression.

……

Cinderella and Annie looked at the backs of Yi Ze and his party, their eyes turned red with reluctance.

They are all very grateful to Yi Ze in their hearts, and they will always remember Yi Ze's kindness in pulling them out of hell.

"Sister Cinderella, brother Ize just gave me this and told me to give it to you after he leaves."

Annie took out a small black cloth bag, which was heavy.

Cinderella opened it and found ten gold coins and a note inside.

【The money is for you and Annie on the road】

"A lot of money!" Anne exclaimed, having never seen so much money.

"Your Highness Ize...he is so kind to us." Cinderella sighed.

"Yeah, brother Ize is the best person in the world!" Annie echoed loudly.

…………

"Your Highness, the Norman Empire is just behind this mountain. According to the map, there are no villages within 30 kilometers." Charlie stopped the carriage and said into the car.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Yize said, "Let's camp here today."

"Okay, Your Highness." Charlie immediately went to the rear compartment of the carriage to get the camping equipment.

Along the way, Yize is not as pretentious as other royal families. He must stay in some high-end hotel. Anyway, he will stay in any hotel on the way. If he can't find it, he won't complain about camping in the open air.

Raymond admired Prince Izzy very much. He also knew other princes in the Principality, who were also the sons of King Robert, but they all thought highly of themselves, as if they were great princes.

On the contrary, Yize, who has the highest status, is the most favored, and will inherit the throne, is the most low-key and humble.

Raymond believes that with such a smart, mature and gentle prince inheriting the throne, the Duchy of Cabel will surely become more and more prosperous in the future.

Charlie pitched his tent on a stone platform below the mountain and said:
"Your Highness, how about eating the air-dried sausage bought in the Principality of Eaton tonight."

"Well, yes." Ize said lightly. He looked around the environment carefully and felt that there were strong magic fluctuations in the deep mountains.

"Charlie, what's the name of this mountain?"

Charlie took out the map and looked at it carefully with the reflection of the lake.

"Your Highness, this is the Black Pine Mountains. The mountains are quite large. There is only one canyon trail that leads to the Norman Empire."

Raymond walked to Izzy's side and said:

"Your Highness, this is the largest mountain range in the Principality of Eaton. If it weren't for the steep terrain here, the Norman Empire would have taken advantage of the situation. There would have been no chance for the Duke of Eaton and our Duke of Cabel to surrender voluntarily and become a subsidiary principality." .”

Izer sighed. He knew a thing or two about what happened 80 years ago from the history books. Now the Duchy of Cabel and Eaton are independent and self-governing in name, but every year the two countries have to pay huge taxes to the royal family of the Norman Empire. .

The two principalities also sent a prince as a hostage, who was placed under house arrest in the palace of the Norman Empire, and Ize's half-brother, sixth brother, was sent as a hostage.

Once there is a war between the Norman Empire and other countries, the two principalities will also support their own armies, and the soldiers of the principalities will be put on the frontline battlefield and sacrificed first.

Therefore, as a dependent country, from the royal family to the common people, it always feels inferior to the royal family and common people of the Norman Empire.

According to the history books, without the natural danger of Black Pine Mountain, there would be no Eton and Cabel Principalities.

There will only be one behemoth Norman Empire in the entire western European continent.

"Raymond, why were the millions of cavalry of the Norman Empire stopped by these mountains?" Ize was always puzzled when he read this passage in the history book.

Raymond said:

"I heard that this matter is related to Queen Catherine of the Norman Empire. She was the one who ordered no more attacks. No one knows the specific reason."

"Oh? How old is Queen Catherine this year?" Ize was a little surprised. According to the history books, the Heisong Mountain retreat happened 80 years ago.

"At least 160 years old. Queen Catherine is now a nine-star wizard, and she can live to be at least 500 years old." Raymond said.

This is the enviable part of the combat profession. Commoners generally live to be 70 or 50 years old, and every star in the combat profession can increase their life expectancy by more than [-] years, and keep their appearance youthful.

"What about the emperor of the Norman Empire? Why didn't he order the truce?" Ize continued to ask.

"In fact, many nobles know that the emperor Brown of the Norman Empire is just a puppet. The person who actually controls the Norman Empire is Queen Catherine. If there is no precedent, Catherine may have proclaimed emperor long ago."

"Emperor Brown is not a combat professional, can he live to be more than 100 years old?"

Raymond paused and said:
"Well, Catherine is a nine-star wizard. She must know some secret techniques to prolong the lifespan of mortals. You know, wizards are best at witchcraft related to undead and dead souls. In exchange for extending lifespan, King Brown That’s why I’m willing to be a puppet.”

"What about the king's son and daughter, will their lives be extended by Catherine?"

"Of course Catherine would not be so kind. Re-cultivating a puppet is meaningless to her. Therefore, most of the king's children have died of old age, illness, and strange deaths. The only one alive now is a daughter who just turned 18. But in the past two years, the old king's health is almost dying, after all, there is a limit to how long life can be extended by secret techniques."

Izzy nodded. The only daughter who is alive now is most likely Snow White in the fairy tale, and Queen Catherine is trying her best to kill her.

"Raymond, do you know that Queen Catherine has a treasure called the magic mirror?" The purpose of Ize's trip was just that, but looking at it now, many things described in fairy tales are not true, so he is not sure whether There really is such a thing as a magic mirror.

Raymond shook his head, "Your Highness, I haven't heard of it."

No matter what, the less people know about this kind of treasure that can know the world, the better, so Ize decided to investigate it himself.

Ize lowered his eyes and thought about it. Now things are getting more and more complicated. How could this Black Pine Mountain stop Catherine's army of millions back then?And what happened to the powerful magic wave in the deep mountain?
