Successors of all mankind

The traveler said:

"I need to contact my family so they know I'm not missing any limbs. But is there a way to do this discreetly so they don't know my exact location?"

The ambassador pointed at the other party and smiled:

"Of course, no problem. Although we are staunch allies with Albion, neither of us is on guard against the other. However, there are indeed some here!"

The ambassador led the traveler to the secret room. On the way, the ambassador couldn't help but say:

“Our prince is also still unmarried. Although we are different from Albion, His Majesty’s rule remains stable. But we can’t keep putting it off forever, can we?”

"Sometimes, I really think, if one of your princes were a man, then the relationship between our two countries would truly be unbreakable!"

The traveler listened with a sense of melancholy:

"Yes, that's good."

"However, things might change later?"

The traveler offered a subtle hint, but it was far too subtle.

The ambassador simply laughed and said:

Who knows?

Just then, the ambassador suddenly stopped and leaned against the window, gazing at the sky outside.

"That's strange, it's the Albion royal family's fleet."

The traveler also hurriedly went to the window and looked up at the sky.

A fleet, smaller than yesterday's but more luxurious and exquisite, is neatly arranged above the palace's celestial sphere.

"Why is the royal fleet being deployed? I don't remember what holiday it is today, so is it for a drill?"

The traveler quickly recalled the information he knew, and he sensed that something was amiss with this commotion.

"I haven't heard of that, and the Maltese family did the same thing yesterday?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

Maltai? What's going on with Maltai?

The ambassador said nonchalantly:

"The eldest son of the Marty family, the future Duke of Marty, wants to marry the last heir to the Duke of Windsor in order to obtain the Salamander, which has been passed down through generations of the Duke of Windsor."

"So, in order to show off their military strength and win the favor of the other party, they mobilized almost all of the Marty family's forces to hunt dragons in the Great Ruins."

As he spoke, the ambassador looked up at the fleet overhead and said:

"Ah, they've moved. This direction seems to be heading towards the Great Ruins as well?"

Were they also heading towards the great ruins?

The traveler looked in the direction the ambassador was pointing.

Sure enough, the royal fleet was seen moving towards the Great Ruins.

Marty had fought against the Byzantines for over a decade, and the current Duke of Marty was even an enemy of Justinian.

And now, at the same time, a guy who not only seems to have the Golden Bloodline, but also seems to be Justinian's successor has appeared.

Marty, Justinian's old rival, is heading back to his hometown?

A jumble of clues appeared before the traveler's eyes, then slowly coalesced into a slightly blurry, but unexpectedly possible, chain:

Marty didn't go for the Windsor family; the Duke of Marty discovered something in Byzantium, and he used that as an excuse to set off first!

No, it's also possible that Constantine's appearance and joining the royal family made him realize that if he waited any longer, he might have nothing left.

After all, the Martial family had put in a great deal of effort to bring about the downfall of Byzantium.

He must have spent countless sleepless nights worrying about the so-called Byzantine treasure!

However, the reign of the Glory King made him too arrogant, to the point that he overlooked the fact that the royal family was not the puppet they had envisioned...

"Humans above, is the Albion royal family going to harvest their crops?!"

"What? Sir? I don't understand. Harvesting vegetables?"

The traveler did not answer the ambassador, but instead grabbed him and asked:

"Are the Golden Princess and his knight up there?"

"No, how would I know? And how could the Golden Princess have left the capital?"

Albion's gold has never left the capital; even when meeting their princess, she always comes here in person.

"That was before, but things are different now! Humans above, quick, sir, take me to the secret chamber!"

"Uh, yes, this way please, sir."

After pointing out the way to the extremely anxious travelers, the ambassador glanced curiously at the royal fleet in the sky.

Will the Golden Princess really leave the capital?

Are you kidding me?

-----------------

The man in purple robes walked silently through archway after archway, finally finding his target beneath the old white poplar tree:

The Golden Princess and Yule.

At this moment, Yu Le is sitting here with the princess, drinking tea.

I must say, as expected of a royal special, this tea, though I don't know its name, is surprisingly delicious.

Moreover, the desserts prepared by the royal chef were also very delicious!

Just as Yu Le was about to try a few, she noticed the arrival of the man in purple robes. He was standing on the steps, bowing to her from afar.

"Master Steward, what brings you here?"

The man in purple robes approached the two of them. His arrival displeased the princess, as the eunuch had disturbed her rare peace and quiet.

"Just call me Maris, sir."

After bowing to the princess who completely ignored him, the man in purple robes said to the two of them indifferently:

"Your Highness and Lord Constantine, I have come to convey His Majesty's decree!"

King of Glory?

What does he want to do?

"Father, what is Father going to do?"

Upon hearing that it was her father, the princess turned around. At the same time, she frowned as she looked at the neatly arranged royal fleet in the sky and said:

"And what's the purpose of this? Why would the royal fleet be summoned?"

The man in purple robes bowed and said:

"His Majesty wishes you to lead them to a certain place."

Before the princess could refuse, the man in purple robes added:

"This has something to do with Lord Constantine!"

The princess stood up directly from the table piled high with snacks and tea and said:

"What's the meaning?"

Chapter 33 hints

"I'm only here to convey His Majesty's message, Your Highness. As for the details, I don't know either."

The man in purple slowly lowered his head. The princess, having no other recourse, could only look at Yu Le and say:

"Sir, let's go to Father's!"

The princess's attitude towards her father was complex; they didn't seem like a father and daughter, or even a princess and a king.

However, he was still her father, and she could indeed feel his love.

Although the idea of ​​entertainment is strange, it is naturally not something one would refuse.

And it has something to do with me?

What does the King of Glory want to do?

The throne room is still so high and so far away.

This time, however, a princess was leading the way, her dazzling golden hair casually draped behind her, shimmering as she moved.

It has no split ends or dry texture, so it is truly as beautiful as flowing gold.

So Yu Le was happy to walk behind the princess because it was really beautiful!

Before long, Yu Le and the princess arrived before King Rongguang:

“Father, why did you summon us here? And what does this have to do with the knight? I really don’t think you have anything to do with him!”

The princess didn't think anything would happen, but she still instinctively stood in front of Yu Le, blocking him from Rong Guang Wang.

This was the only person she could rely on, and she didn't want him to be in any danger.

Even the Glory King, whom she once regarded as someone she could rely on, but who ultimately failed to do so.

King Rongguang noticed this subtle change. After gazing at it for a moment, he looked at Yule behind the princess and said:

"My lord, are you aware that Duke Marty has sent almost all of his troops to the Byzantine ruins?"

It doesn't mean they went to Numenor, but rather to the ruins of Byzantium.

"No, Your Majesty, I did not know about this. I only heard from Your Highness that Lord Marty sent his younger brother to lead a fleet to Numennor to hunt down the dragons."

Yu Le carefully chose what he knew.

The King of Glory shifted his gaze from Yu Le to his daughter's slightly tense shoulders.

She was afraid she would lose her only treasure...

He stared for a long time, so long that the princess was almost about to speak and break the silence.

"Father?"

"Duke Marty did not go dragon hunting."

King Rongguang spoke.

"He sent most of his family's fleet into the Byzantine ruins, ostensibly to hunt dragons, but actually to wait."

The princess frowned: "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for an opportunity that he believes only he knows about."

King Glory lightly tapped the armrest of his throne with his fingers, a gesture he rarely made since he began to sit there in silence.

Because every movement was consuming his remaining energy.

"He thought he was looking for Justinian's treasure, which had been hidden for over a hundred years and only the Marty family remembered how to find it."

When he mentioned "Justinian's treasure," he glanced at Yule.

The princess noticed this and glanced behind her as well.

Is this the reason why Father said it was related to the knight?

The king also believed that the knight was related to Byzantium.

No, Father probably knows more about the knight's origins than I do.

So, was the knight truly of Byzantine descent, rather than the outwardly recognized nobles of the Winterlands?

Yule is too special, especially with its unique name.

Even without the princess conducting any investigation, she could roughly guess the origin of Yule.

This was the only reason she would stand between the two of them; she was afraid that the King of Glory would do something she didn't want to see.

Since Yu Le never made it clear, she didn't press him for details.

Now, her father didn't say it outright, but indirectly confirmed it for her.
