Princess' personal painter

Nicki Makama's Inheritance Ceremony

Qingyue calendar year [-], early in the winter morning.

The whole city of Floze was soaked in the November chill, and crystal frost formed on the windows along the street.The residents of the city, all nobles, businessmen, and craftsmen with a little bit of status, got up early, put on appropriate attire, and went to the square in the center of the city.

After the previous Grand Duke was assassinated and killed, his 11-year-old only daughter Nicki Aldridge, although she experienced some setbacks, finally won the recognition and support of all parties and was about to take over her father's crown. Officially succeeded to the throne as the Grand Duchess of the Principality of Silesia.

Today is the day of her succession ceremony.

In the past few months, the Principality of Silesia has successively undergone reforms led by Bishop Enoch, the assassination of the Duke, and the outbreak of civil war. The goddess-like princess of the empire, Elisamina St. Olysses, was defeated, but the fleeing demons were still doing evil around Silesia, and the occasional victims made the people panic.Due to the raging demons, the city of Floz has been under martial law for a while.

In the period when the catastrophe has just passed, the official establishment of the ruler of the country is not a matter that can stabilize the hearts of the people. It is also out of this consideration that Sisyana and others suggest that Nikki Orr Derich made his official public appearance.

Early this morning, in the bedroom of the Grand Duke's mansion, Sisiana Theresia stood behind Nikki, gently braiding little Lolita's bright blond hair, and wearing Aldrich's hair on her bun. The golden hairpin specially made for the new ruler with the family crest of the Qi family said softly——

"You're dressed perfectly, it's up to you next time."

"Well...I will try my best!"

The new ruler of Silesia, the 11-year-old Nicki Aldridge was wearing a slightly neutral dress with a pure white background with golden patterns representing the family. The bright red robe behind her really does look a bit majestic.

However, even though Nikki said something to cheer her up, there was still a bit of timidity on her immature face. She adjusted her demeanor in front of the mirror for a while, and then tried to straighten her back before raising her head Asked: "Sister Qianya, is it okay to feel now?"

"Okay, let's go out."

Sisyana nodded, took the girl's hand, and led her out of the room.

In the corridor outside the room, the servants and maids of the Duke’s mansion had been waiting for a long time. When Sisyana and Nikki passed by side by side, they all bowed down to salute, and followed them quietly, forming a long line. The queue walked out of the Duke's mansion and came to the square outside.

The cool air gently patted people's faces. Realizing that the main character of the ceremony had arrived, the atmosphere in the square suddenly became much more solemn. Nikki surrounded by her.Seeing these lines of sight, Niki suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, but she also felt the steady and powerful force coming from Sisyana's palm, took a deep breath quietly, and walked away under the guidance. On the high platform in the center of the square.

Waiting on the high platform were Nicky's biological mother, Lydia Aldridge, and Seven Nights Messiah, both of whom were wearing dresses representing nobility and plain white robes representing nuns, which meant that Nicky's succession to the throne has been recognized by both the nobles and the church, and it is justified.

Sisyana led Nikki to the front of the two, then nodded to them, signaling the official start of the ceremony.When the eyes of Sisyana met, Lydia's eyes flashed imperceptible worries, but she still smiled and handed out the scepter representing secular power.

Sisyana took the scepter and put it on the table in front of Nikki, and took the "Holy Code" representing divine power from Qi Ye on the other side, put it on the table as well, and then turned to face the square. The vermilion lips parted lightly, and the melodious voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the magic amplification——

"At the beginning, the ancestors of the Aldridge family were granted by Princess Fina and won Floz and the surrounding fiefdoms. During their reign, they were always very popular. Afterwards, since the fall of Bohemia, the Grand Duke has been responsible for running the duchy for a hundred years. The principality has suffered a lot in the past six months, and now it has finally returned to orthodoxy, and the seventh-generation heir of the family, Nicki Aldrich, has officially succeeded to the throne under the witness of all parties..."

This princess from Ruolin is not only outstanding in strength and beauty, but also served as the commander of the coalition army in the civil war, defeating the bishop of Enoch who tried to steal the country. Her extraordinary deeds have left a deep impression on people's minds , at this time, she will be the leader of the ceremony, so naturally there will be nothing wrong.At the same time, some caring people present also heard some special meaning from her opening remarks.

Half an hour later, the brief and solemn succession ceremony was completed.

Sisyana and Nikki returned to the duke's mansion surrounded by everyone. Next, Nikki, accompanied by her mother Delia, accepted the oath of allegiance from the nobles under her command. Sisyana In order to avoid suspicion, I will not accompany Nikki.She returned to the room where she worked these days alone, thinking that the situation in Silesia had finally stabilized, and she couldn't help but think of something else.

On Ruolin's side, whether it's the increasingly chaotic situation in the country, or the letters from nobles from all walks of life pleading for her to return to the country to clean up the chaos, they all weigh on her heart like a reminder.

There is still no news of the father and brother who disappeared when Alice City was destroyed.

As Ruolin's princess, she knew she couldn't delay any longer.

On the other side, after the seriously injured Irene was taken away by the Elf Queen, she didn't reply for more than half a month. This made Sisyana feel even more worried. She wished she could come to confirm Irene's safety now.However, the specific location of the elf forest where the elves live has always been one of the biggest secrets on the mainland, and she doesn't even know where to find it.

Sisyana couldn't help covering her heart about these complicated things, and gasped quietly.

And this scene happened to be seen by Unika Caroline who pushed the door in at the right time. Sisyana breathed a sigh of relief, smiled wryly and said to her maid and close friend: "Unika, the one here That's about it, let's go back to China tomorrow."

"Go back to China?" Eunika was obviously taken aback.

Sisyana showed a firm expression: "Well, I have something to do."

Eunika stared blankly at this girl of the same age as herself, and felt a little heartache for a moment. She was silent for a long time before remembering what she was going to say just now——

"Xia, the matter you asked me to investigate has roughly come to fruition."

"Hey, it's been investigated so quickly?"

"Although it was night when Grand Duke Brod was assassinated, there was a lot of commotion, and someone did witness the assassin's actions." Eunika said calmly, "Enoch should have already found out the results of the investigation. But I don’t know why I deliberately blocked the news and didn’t make an announcement.”

Sisyana had a strange premonition: "Who is the assassin?"

"It should be the one who met Xi Ya and you, from the Sayel Assassin's Guild, currently ranked third in the guild, and the assassin code-named 'Joker'."

The beauty in the secret realm of the elves in the volume

Erin didn't know how long she had been asleep.

In the depths of the ocean of consciousness, the memory of being a devout nun in the church and the memory of playing with her younger sister Fina in the palace as an imperial princess are constantly intertwined, forming various complicated dreams, which made her start again. I can't tell who I am, and I am almost addicted to the beauty of the past.

However, those memories soon sank to the bottom of the valley, and what appeared in front of Irene was the gloomy sky and the land burning with magma. She found herself standing alone among the scorched land, the demon king who seemed to have infinite power , raised the huge ax in his hand high, and slashed at her!

It hurts, it hurts...

The moment the giant ax slashed across her body, she felt that her soul was disintegrating and drifting out of her body.Fragmented consciousness floated into the air, watching his frail body gushing out majestic blood, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

She remembered that this was something she had experienced not long ago.

She also realized what was going to happen next—

In this tragic battlefield, almost every corpse still has "fragments" of life left on it. She saw that those fragments seemed to be pulled by everything, and spontaneously merged into the girl's body, nourishing the body. The seriously injured body allowed her to transform into "Arisa Mina" and stood up again, with the awe-inspiring posture of the princess of the empire, and fought fiercely with the demon monarch again...

This memory also quickly dissipated in the dream.

In the seemingly endless darkness that followed, she felt that her body gradually regained consciousness and became full again.She felt that she was lying on a warm bed, the gentle heat just shone on her face, and the quiet scent of vanilla lingered in her nose, making her extremely comfortable.

It took a considerable effort to open her eyes.

The warm sunlight pierces into the eyes, and the light spots diffused between the pupils make the scenery in the field of vision foggy, bringing a strange and illusory feeling.It took Irene several minutes to get used to the long-lost light, sat up from the bed, and looked at the environment she was in——

This is a simple but clean cabin.

On the side of the bed was the open window, which should have been opened by someone for the ventilation of the room. It was probably close to noon, and the soft sunlight shone directly on Irene's body.Her consciousness was still a little confused, and when she lifted the quilt, she found that she was wearing light pajamas.

Erin stretched out her hand instinctively, and reached for her chest and abdomen, and found that the terrible wound in her memory had disappeared, and what she touched was delicate as new skin.She exhaled lightly, and after carefully confirming that her body was fine, she got up and got out of bed.

When her crystal clear feet touched the ground, she couldn't help shivering from the cool touch.

The body is still a little weak, but it is not a big problem to move on its own.Irene walked to the door, put on the handle, and gently opened the door. A large expanse of bright greenery came into view.

Exquisite wooden houses are scattered among the leaves. The soft sunlight penetrates the gaps between the trees and shines on the grass in the small square in front of Irene. People walking around are wearing strange clothes, and they can't help but wonder where they are.

While thinking about it, Irene saw a girl who was about the same size as herself running up to her, and hurriedly said something to herself in another language with a strange pronunciation.

The girl was slender, her fair skin exuded a seductive luster in the sun, and her light green pupils were looking nervously at her.It was only then that Irene noticed that the other party had a pair of small and pointed ears, and asked in a somewhat confused tone: "Are you... an elf?"

The elf girl in front of her was obviously taken aback for a moment. After realizing her mistake, a slight blush spread on her pretty face, and then she changed into the common language of the mainland and said, "My honored guest, you have just recovered, please Go into the house and continue to cultivate, I will send someone to inform Her Majesty the Queen."

Her Majesty the Queen?

Although she still had some doubts, the elf girl respected her attitude very much, and her body was indeed very weak, so Irene followed her advice and went back into the room and sat on the bed.The elf girl followed the wooden house, unscrewed a sealed bottle on the table, walked around the room, and spilled a little of the transparent liquid in the bottle on the ground.

The pleasant fragrance of vanilla spread in the wooden house immediately.

Aware of Irene's gaze, the elf girl said: "This is the specially extracted flower dew essence, which is very helpful for healing. Among my clan, only elders and above can use it. As a distinguished guest invited by His Majesty , and of course have the qualifications to enjoy it.”

"That's it, thank you." Irene said softly.

These words made the elf girl's cheeks turn red, and she whispered, "I'll ask someone to inform His Majesty first, and I'll be back to serve you soon." After saying that, she hurried out of the wooden house.

Looking at the back of the elf girl, Irene thought quietly for a while, and then came to a reasonable conclusion - the person who can heal that terrible injury and heal herself should be the elf queen who has met once ?

Is this the habitat of the legendary elves?

What happened to Sia and Unika?

And Fina, who was taken away by the Elf Queen, should be seen soon, right?Sure enough, it was because of Fina that he was treated as a distinguished guest, right?

Thinking of her "sister" whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Eileen felt her heart beating, and she couldn't hold back the surge of joy for a moment.

While thinking, the elf girl from just now walked into the wooden house with a pot of hot water in her arms, and glanced at Irene who was dazed by the bed, with a hint of hesitation in her expression, and then summoned up her courage and said, "Noble My guest, please let me dress you up for a bath and change your clothes."

Irene was a little dazed: "Bath and change?"

A red glow appeared on the cheek of the elf girl, and she whispered, "I was the one who came here before the guests woke up... If you don't want to, I can go outside and wait..."

Irene breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and was about to nod her head to let her go out, but found misty mist in the eyes of the elf girl. That lovely and pitiful appearance made people feel pity for a moment, and the words she originally wanted to say The child was blocked in the throat.After thinking for a while, she asked cautiously, "If I refuse your service, will it affect you?"

The elf girl's expression suddenly became very flustered, she waved her hands and said, "No, no, there is absolutely no such thing..."

Erin asked again: "How long have you taken care of me?"

The elf girl timidly replied: "It has been 20 days since His Majesty brought the guests back."

"Did your Majesty the Queen heal me?"

"Yes, after His Majesty healed the guest's injury, let me take care of it."

"It's hard to repay the grace of saving my life now." Irene exhaled lightly, and said softly, "I should be the one to thank you, you don't have to respect me so much..."

"You are the blood of the most noble imperial family among human beings, and you are one of the only two imperial princesses left in the world." The elf girl stared timidly at her with light green pupils, and said in a low voice, "I am honored to serve such an honorable princess." It is my greatest honor..."

"Is it because of this reason?" Erin couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, she shook her head and said, "But the empire has perished long ago, and the status of the so-called princess of the empire is completely insignificant now."

"That's not true." The elf girl shook her head hastily, "It's been a long time since no guest has come in through the barrier, besides, you are a guest invited by Her Majesty the Empress herself, and you are the sister of 'that one', in our clan, That lord has always enjoyed a high reputation."

Irene was slightly taken aback, and asked, "That lord? Are you talking about Fina?"

In her memory, she only knew that the elves were the biggest support behind the Kingdom of Bohemia, but she never knew about the connection between Fina and the elves.

"Yes, Lord Fina is the great benefactor of the elves!" The elf girl's eyes showed admiration, and she looked at Irene timidly again, and begged, "Although it is a bit out of line to say this, but I still hope to get the honor of serving you in the bath, if there is anything that is not done well, please be sure to bring it up, and I will definitely work hard to improve!"

This kind of thing... please don't say it so solemnly!

With such a request from the other party, Irene didn't know how to refuse.Although Irene is not without the experience of being taken care of by girls, Erica, Sisyana, Yaniweier and others have taken care of her personally, but it is indeed still necessary to expose her body in front of a girl she just met. first time.

Well, the other party seems to have taken care of him for more than ten days.

Thinking of this, Irene felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart. She quietly turned her gaze away and said in a low voice, "Then... well, I do have some inconvenience in moving now, so I will trouble you next."

As soon as Irene spoke, she saw a look of joy on the face of the elf girl, and said: "Guest, your original clothes are seriously damaged, and you probably can't wear them anymore, so I specially sewed a new set of clothes during this time." , have been looking forward to when you will be able to wake up..."

Could it be that you are so anxious to let me take a bath so that I can change into the clothes you sewed?

Eileen complained from the bottom of her heart.

Moreover, the address that the elf girl has always used made Irene feel extremely awkward, and she had to interrupt the other party: "Is it okay not to use honorific names for me? It sounds weird."

"But..." The elf girl showed hesitation.

"I don't like being called honorifics... this is my request. If you can, please call me by my current name 'Eileen'."

"Irene... my lord?" There was a clear sense of panic in her timid eyes.

Eileen sighed lightly: "That's it."
