Princess' personal painter

Although Xivis showed embarrassment on his face, he still shook his head: "It's okay, I won't mind... Rather, the proposal from Sister Irene seems to be quite right."

Sisyana couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and the way she looked at the other party became more subtle: "Eh? So you are serious, it seems that I am being abrupt..." As she spoke, she pinched her love The back of Lin's hand, whispered in private: "Even if this is the case, don't teach others strange things!"

Erin murmured softly: "It's so strange... At least 'pretending to be cute' is quite useful!"

While talking, Janet Adelaide from Anhill Trading Company walked over, nodded to Sisyana and Irene, and said, "I heard from the city lord that two distinguished guests also attended the party. , I searched around deliberately, I didn't expect you to stay in this clean place... I don't know how the princess is doing shopping?"

As soon as the words fell, Janet's gaze was fixed on Xivis, and her incredulous expression flashed past, and she covered her lips and asked, "This beautiful lady... Could it be..."

"It's indeed me." Sivis grabbed the skirt with both hands, took two steps back, and finally gave up the idea of ​​escaping, and said in a low voice, "Sister Janet, please help me keep it a secret!"

Xivis and Janet have known each other since they were young, and they belonged to the relationship of childhood sweethearts, and they were quite familiar with each other.Thinking of being seen by her at his worst, Xivis felt so ashamed that he wanted to die, and mist appeared in his eyes unknowingly, and his appearance became more and more lovely.

Janet covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Unexpectedly, Sivis, you... have finally embarked on the path of fate as a member of the Neherbet family. Please rest assured, no matter what path the lord chooses, as a I will support the representatives of Anshir Company to the end."

After the greeting, several people teased Xivis a few more words, and then they walked towards the central performance area of ​​the bonfire party together. Irene asked, "Sister Janet, there is another...won't you come tonight?" ?”

The person Irene asked was, of course, Luna Desmuela, who was clearly a girl in real life but presented herself as a "clown" to the world. Irene hadn't seen her since that night. Thought she would be at the party too, but was nowhere to be seen.

Indeed, with the status of a killer, she is not suitable to appear in crowded places.

Jenny pulled Erin away a little distance, then whispered: "I don't know where she is, but the League of Assassins has received a lot of commissions from Froz these days, not surprisingly If so, she, who won’t let go of any mission opportunities, must have passed by...it seems like another assassination commission..."

There was a slight sigh in Janet's words.

Froz...it can't be such a coincidence, can it?

With an ominous premonition in her heart, Erin raised her head and asked earnestly, "I want to know more specific information, can I ask Sister Janet to investigate further?"

Chapter 31 Late Summer Night Conversations

"During the few years I was with Anruel, I had a very big feeling."

"Appreciate further details."

"Actually, when I left the castle, I felt that Movia was completely hopeless. The population was sparse, the products were barren, and the martial spirit of the ancestors had long since disappeared. People fell into infighting for their own interests, and there was no sense of unity. It is only a matter of time before such a country is annexed by foreign enemies."

"Indeed, Movia is the most inconspicuous principality in the central and eastern part of the mainland, and it is surrounded by three major powers geographically. It is quite normal to have such a pessimistic attitude."

In the center of the square, the circus performance of the entertainers was approaching its climax, which aroused the exclamation of the audience.However, the few people here discussed topics related to politics. After all, for Sivis, the burden of the new lord of Morvia was too heavy, and he couldn't help but want to find someone to talk about the pressure he was under.

Janet had another social occasion, and left after chatting with a few people. Yaniweier followed behind the three of them not too far away, and the three who had the conversation were Irene, Sisyana, and Sivis. .

"Yes, so when such an accident happened five years ago and Miss Stuart came to seize the castle, I was relieved because I could finally get rid of the identity of the king of subjugation." Dressed in a beautiful The dress, from the outside, looks like an elegant noble girl, and Sivis's expression showed a bit of sadness, "Please forgive me for having such irresponsible thoughts, because...at that time, I couldn't see any hope. "

Sisyana asked softly: "Now, where do you see hope?"

Xivis nodded, his eyes full of longing: "Magic technology."

"Magical technology?" Sisyana showed curiosity, "Does it mean the newly emerging magical weapons in the past ten years? I have seen the real ones a few times, but I always feel that the restrictions are too great."

"It's not as simple as a weapon. It has the possibility to break the rules and create miracles in more fields. I think that in the near future, 'magic technology' alone will be enough to support a country in all aspects." Xi Wei Si said in a very serious tone, "Princess is the top powerhouse on the mainland. She may not feel what magic technology means to ordinary people, but it does have a very profound experience for me."

"I've never been to Anruel, so maybe I can't understand what your Excellency said." Sisyana frowned slightly, and turned to the girl beside her, "Irene, what do you think?"

Irene nodded: "Although I haven't stayed in Anluer for a long time, what he said should be correct. I have indeed seen the giant arsenal in Dreis, and it can be said that it completely surpasses The scope of human capabilities...Anruel's strength in this area may be beyond our imagination."

Sivis continued: "Anruel has not lost a single foreign war in the past 50 years. Only last winter in Insterburg, he suffered a setback due to the appearance of the princess, but that was also when Prince Charles sent troops without authorization. , it happened only with private soldiers... If I were to make an assessment, only in terms of the combat effectiveness of the army, no country in the old empire could resist Anruel's offensive..."

"Including Ruobin?" Sisyana asked with some disbelief.

"Wakabayashi has a lot of top powerhouses, so he should be able to gain an advantage in the early stages of the war." Sivis judged, "But once the battle falls into a protracted war, the advantages of the supply and logistics system supported by magic technology will be revealed. , Anluer will gradually regain the upper hand in the tug-of-war, let alone Ruolin now..."

Sivis, who was talking eloquently, suddenly realized something, and looked at Sisyana with apologetic eyes: "Sorry, I was rude..."

"That's right, the last time I fought the orcs in the south, I was in crisis many times." Sisyana said to herself, "If foreign enemies invade now, the country without a leader will immediately be torn apart The situation, should I go back immediately..."

Irene quietly took Sisyana's hand, and said softly: "If Lin Anyi has been too long, in the current crisis with an uncertain future, it may not be a bad thing to make more people feel a sense of urgency...My lord, wait Let's go back right away after we've dealt with Froz's affairs."

Sivis observed the expressions of the two, and interjected: "If there is still no news from the king and heir of your country, does the princess have any plans to become the queen?"

Sisyana was silent for a while, but Irene, who knew her heart, answered for her: "Iris's incident has not been clarified yet, and the enemy that my sister may face is too powerful...We need to clarify the situation, Only then can we make correct judgments and choices.”

"I took the liberty." Sivis apologized again, "No matter how Ruolin's situation develops, as far as I am concerned, I must be on the side of the princess."

"Thank you for your kindness." Sisyana came back to her senses and asked again, "I want to know, are you really ready to become the leader of this country?"

Sivis nodded seriously: "Yes."

Sisyana asked: "You tie your destiny to the country, and gamble all your youth and future for this. You will be prosperous, and you will be harmed. Do you have such an awareness?"

Sivis was taken aback for a moment, but still nodded: "Yes."

"Thank you for your answer." Sisyana nodded and laughed at herself, "Compared to me who is still hesitant until now, Your Excellency's willpower is very good."

Xivis shook his head and said, "Ruolin's predicament is much more dangerous than mine."

"That's not the reason for me to stagnate..." Sisyana hesitated for a while, and changed the subject after a moment of silence, "About what you are worried about, Morvia is indeed likely to be killed by foreign enemies , However, in fact, you are not fighting alone, Movia has many natural allies geographically."

Sivis asked, "Are you referring to the colleagues from the former Kingdom of Bohemia?"

Sisyana nodded: "That's right, both in terms of historical origins and the current situation of foreign enemies that are eyeing you, the Bohemian countries have very good reasons to unite, maybe there is a new The chance of unification into a complete kingdom...if Anruul is really a huge threat, it will take Wakarin and the rebuilt Bohemia kingdom to form the horns to counter it."

As she spoke, she glanced at Erin quietly.

As for Xivis, he obviously misunderstood something. It took him a while before he said: "The goal pointed by the princess is really too far away. I can't imagine how difficult this road is..."

Sisyana held Irene's hand tightly, and said softly: "Who knows, Princess Fina established the kingdom by herself... I think, if there is a candidate who meets all the conditions, we can take this road again Once again, the difficulty must be easier than she was then..."

Moreover, the candidate to be determined is Princess Fina's own sister.

Of course Irene understood the meaning of Sisyana's words, she only felt her heart beating suddenly.Feeling the warmth of the opponent's palm, she stared distractedly at the bonfires flickering under the night sky. Her ups and downs of thoughts swayed with the flames in her vision, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Is this what you hoped for... Or, is this your temptation?

Chapter 32 Targets, Silesia

Qingyue calendar three hundred and two years, the beginning of autumn.

Using the conflict and massacre in Insterburg at the end of last year as an introduction, Pope Juli III recruited tens of thousands of crusaders from all over the world, and mobilized the most elite knights, and launched an attack on the diocese of Sislin.At the same time, in order to suppress the prestigious Archbishop Vikoff, the Pope personally came to the army to sit in charge.

On the other side, as the birthplace of the Sislin sect, tens of thousands of Sislin believers came from the surrounding Bohemian countries, or from the Bovis, Anruel, Danya area, or even the distant Torah. Langton and Franz came from afar and traveled long distances to the Diocese of Sislin to support them.

In it, many devout believers came with the belief of peace, but more people were mentally prepared to risk their lives and put on their weapons to fight against the executioner of the Holy See.

Thus, in the small river valley area of ​​Xislin Parish, two top powerhouses and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and believers gathered at the same time. No one could foresee how tragic this war would be.A large number of people have been evacuated from the parish and fled to neighboring countries for asylum.

After hearing the news, Sisyana was filled with uneasiness whenever she thought that something similar to the massacre half a year ago might happen.

However, at this time, the direction she, Irene, and Yaniweier were heading was not the Sislin Parish in the northeast, but the Principality of Silesia in the southeast.

This morning, a Holy See troop headed by the Grand Knight visited the city of Isar. The purpose seemed to be to thoroughly investigate the rumors about vampires here, and by the way, investigate the heresy attack that occurred some time ago.It was only then that Sisyana and Irene remembered that their previous conflict with the Crusaders in the nameless town had finally caused a lot of trouble.

Coupled with the unstable factor of Yaniweier, in order to avoid contact with the Holy See, they had to say goodbye to Sivis in advance, and hurriedly embarked on the journey to Froz.

Thinking of meeting the black-robed girl with whom she is closely related, that is, Qiye Messiah, Irene fell into the excitement of the reunion, although she immediately realized that such a thought was a bit sorry for Sisyana , but still couldn't suppress the eagerness.

Well, this is not a playful heart...it must not be a playful heart!

I just wanted to meet her earlier to learn about my life experience and past...

Irene and her team traveled quickly, and within half a day they left the plateau where Isar was located, and came to the junction of Movia and Silesia, where they took a rest.

The sunshine in autumn and summer was warm and pleasant. Sisyana looked down at the vast grassland in front of her and said with sincere emotion: "The scenery is really beautiful. The last time I walked along this road, I was with Eunika and Wen. The one with Jess...although we have changed our companions this time, but the mood is similar to last time."

Irene couldn't help turning her head and complaining: "Dear sister, what do you mean, as long as I can go out to play with you, no matter who it is?"

Sisyana smiled, stretched out her hand to pinch Irene's face, and said in a teasing tone: "Yes, actually... I never expected anyone to fully understand my thoughts, if Weier is so cute I'd be happier without some of the extra hassle with my kids."

"That would make me very sad!"

Irene blinked, took advantage of Sisyana's unpreparedness and suddenly threw herself into her arms, sniffing the fragrance of the girl, and said in a pitiful tone: "There are not many loyal maids like me. It's definitely a big loss for my lord sister to leave me!"

Since Sisyana refused to make out with Irene, this guy's usual presumptuous behavior has become more and more. Sisyana looked down at the girl buried in her chest, and said angrily: "Hey, you're okay Claiming to be a maid, I don't remember when you took care of my daily life, and now I even leave things like washing clothes and picking wild fruits to Wei'er... I thought you were the eldest lady of which family? !"

"Because...they really can't do it!" A cloyingly sweet voice came from nearby, and it was obvious that someone's skill in acting like a baby was getting deeper and deeper.

Sisyana spat: "Please, you are not a child!"

"Gentle and lovely elder sister, please treat me like a child...can't you?" Irene raised her head, blinking her bright eyes back.

Sisyana, who fell into a speechless state, inadvertently met Yaniweier's eyes.

Apparently, she has long been used to the flirting between the two. The girl with blue-gray short-haired girl stood quietly under the sun holding an umbrella in a leisurely manner—this vampire girl was really like her. In other words, I am appreciating human life with a serious and enjoyable attitude.

As she lived in Karenin as "Mia Stefan".

Since joining the team of the two, Yaniweier has not done anything beyond the rules except for occasionally begging for blood from Irene, and she has also taken the initiative to take care of sundries during the trip.Such a well-behaved girl made Sisyana completely unable to feel disgusted.

Slightly distracted, Sisyana suddenly realized a subtle fact.

In terms of age, I seem to be the youngest of the three... Irene who is over 300 years old, Wei Er who is 40 years old, and myself who is 17 years old... Eh?Wait, why did it become like this?

Pushing Irene away with a weird mood, Sisyana was about to pretend to be angry and reprimanded her, but she heard Yaniweier who was beside her say, "There seems to be a monster over there."

These words made Irene and Sisyana stop their nonsense, and they followed Yaniweier's line of sight to look into the distance, and saw two huge earth dragons appearing at the end of the horizon, and they were moving rapidly. Crawling on the ground, you can feel obvious tremors here.

Seeing the goal of the earth dragon, Sisyana couldn't help changing her expression, and said quickly: "No, their goal seems to be a caravan... Irene!"

Irene and Sisyana looked at each other, then nodded tacitly, and flew in the direction of the two earth dragons.Yaniweier, who was holding an umbrella, was a little stunned, but also put away the umbrella helplessly, and jumped to chase the two people in front.

The two moved quickly in the air, and within a few breaths they flew above the earth dragon.

Noticing the red eyes and heavy breath of the earth dragon, Sisyana felt something unusual from it, and reminded: "These two earth dragons seem to be in a state of rage, leave it to me to deal with it, love Lin, you can help me by the side."

"Sister, you can't eat alone, let's eat one each!" Irene said confidently.

"Really, I have to be brave again..." Sisyana knew that she couldn't persuade Irene, so she had no choice but to agree, "It's obviously a girl's family, so she likes to fight so much, it's not cute at all!"

"It's my goal to be a girl who can act like a baby, show cuteness, and be able to fight!" Erin said in a serious tone, "It's all because my sister is too perfect, and I feel ashamed when standing next to you." It feels like, other than that, I don't know how to be worthy of you..."

eh eh?

Wait, Eileen, you... Wei'er is still following us, so don't say such embarrassing words casually!

Sisyana, who was blushing because of the sudden confession, had to pretend that she didn't hear what Irene said, and swooped down on one of the earth dragons.

Chapter 33 Caravan and Noble Mother and Daughter

As the person in charge of this caravan, the experienced Abod Weir had already sensed the extraordinary day from various signs.

First, I happened to meet a small group of wind wolves. Although this is a very common monster, it is still a bit surprising to appear on the main road.After the caravan got rid of the entanglement of the wind wolf, they met a pair of troubled noble mother and daughter. Faced with the request from the lovely and pitiful wife, although he knew there was something strange in it, he still agreed to let the two go together.Unexpectedly, the caravan ran into two terrifying earth dragons head-on after taking a few steps.
