Women only affect my ability to spread the fire

"Tsk. This disappointing sister of mine, I have to teach her a lesson." Rosalyn sighed, then strode towards her sister who had just made her lose twice.

Margaret looked at Rosaline's back with a smile. In fact, she didn't mind Eleanor returning to the palace to visit her parents, but for Margaret, this decision must be made by Russell.

Looking at the complexion of my lord, his advancement must have been completed successfully. I just wonder what kind of joy my lord will bring this time?

Margaret licked her lips and tried not to follow Eleanor.

After hearing Margaret say that only the master could approve her actions, the little slave girl showed various emotions of panic, grievance, and worry, but she still resisted the urge to complain and chose to wait silently for Russell's return.

So Margaret chose to let this little slave girl enjoy her exclusive love as a reward for her loyalty.

…………

In the royal city of Gritsburg, the news that Her Royal Highness Eleanor was about to return to the palace to visit her parents quickly spread.

No matter how absurd the rumors are, Her Highness Eleanor, this is still the link between the Burgoyne family and the demon-slaying hero Russell.

As for the rumors about masters and female slaves, they sounded so absurd that even those who spread them only treated them as curious and vulgar gossip.

Apart from the citizens who were present that day and heard Russell say this in person, not many people believed it.

Even the citizens who heard Russell say this with their own ears that day suspected that this was just a way for Russell to please the "Red Dragon Sister-in-law" in his arms.

There are also widely circulated little trivia about dragons, such as "Dragons' concept of marriage is different from humans', and dragons don't mind humans marrying their own kind" - although after the Great Retreat, dragons no longer appear in any official or folk records of Usedom.

Although all the dragon scholars in Kannos were killed, dragon studies flourished again in Gritzburg after several decades. It seemed that everyone had become a dragon scholar and knew a lot about the customs of dragons.

It seemed as if a dragon craze had swept through Gritsburg. Bards sang one ballad after another about dragons, and the tavern at the Red Dragon's Throat was extremely popular and packed with people every day.

Despite this, the rumors about the dragon can only serve as a small after-dinner diversion and are not the most concerned issue for the citizens. They are always more concerned about the news about the heir to the throne.

Princess Eleanor's impending return to the palace has attracted the attention of countless people. There are even rumors that she will be declared second in line to the throne upon her return, which has caused concern among conservatives.

Of course, there was also some comforting news for the conservatives. There were also rumors from within the royal city that His Majesty Frederick had actually already chosen the second heir, another prince who grew up among the common people.

The core evidence is that a black guard named Rupert with no background was recently promoted. It is said that Rupert and the prince who grew up quietly among the people were childhood friends. This is undoubtedly solid evidence that His Majesty Friedrich is paving the way for the prince.

There are also rumors that Queen Adelaide has recently been secretly imprisoned on the pretext of being insane because Her Majesty the Queen opposes the ascension of Her Royal Highness, who is not her own son.

Rupert, the newly promoted deputy commander of the Black Guards who came from a poor family, has returned to his hometown to prepare to welcome the prince named Mark back to Gretzburg.

On the same day that Mark's name resounded throughout Gritsburg, Eleanor quietly returned to the royal city where she was born.

261 Father and Daughter

Although Eleanor's appearance was different from when she was alive, the animal ears unique to the Burgoyne family still made it easy for the palace guards to identify this noble princess.

Unlike Ludwig who quietly and quietly left the royal city with his heart, the guards and servants of the palace showed great enthusiasm for the princess.

When the court wizard used magic to confirm that the person in front of him was "Her Highness Eleanor", as he shouted and greeted, a large number of people quickly came to express their goodwill to Eleanor.

Not to mention that according to rumors, this princess is likely to be the future queen. Even those who do not want to see a queen succeed to the throne will welcome Her Royal Highness with a smile for the sake of the man behind Eleanor, the demon-slaying hero Russell.

This was probably the most crowded time for Eleanor. Even when she lived in her own palace, she had never seen so many smiling faces.

Although Eleanor was still very naive and worried about her mother and brother, she inevitably felt better under so many smiling faces and sweet words.

Eleanor subconsciously thought that this was a welcome ceremony arranged for her by her father.

Among the many enthusiastic smiling faces, a guard standing far away with a sad look on his face stood out.

Eleanor recognized the guard at a glance. It was Schneider, the captain of the guard of her brother, Crown Prince Conrad.

Eleanor, who was worried about her brother, naturally waved to Schneider: "Sir Schneider, come here, come here."

Schneider made a face as if his parents had died on purpose to attract Eleanor's attention. As soon as Eleanor waved, he immediately trotted towards her.

When everyone saw that this was the loyal captain of the guard of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Conrad, they respectfully made way for him.

Both His Majesty Frederick and Her Majesty Adelaide had praised the Captain of the Guards for his unspeakable loyalty.

Especially after the story spread, Captain Schneider's reputation for loyalty became even more famous.

Captain Conrad's guards sternly rejected the threats and inducements of the demonized Prince Walter and were loyal to Crown Prince Conrad. He was undoubtedly a reliable and incorruptible person. However, no one present knew that Captain Schneider had mistaken Rosaline's spell for heavenly fire, and was so frightened that he changed his ways.

"Sir Schneider, I want to ask you, how is Brother Conrad doing recently? Has he woken up?" Eleanor asked anxiously.

"Unfortunately, His Highness Conrad is still unconscious." Captain Schneider shook his head. "But I have something else to report to you. Your Highness, please, um..."

Schneider looked around and signaled to Eleanor with his eyes. Eleanor nodded and waved her hand, indicating that the people around her could disperse first.

Although many people were dissatisfied that they did not have time to show their courtesy, they did not dare to express their opposition in front of the "loyal, brave and reliable" Captain Schneider and Princess Eleanor, so they dispersed happily.

The servants who were in charge of leading the way also tactfully retreated and hid under a tree where they could not hear Schneider's words - in fact, these servants were just ceremonial decorations, and Eleanor was very familiar with her home.

Finally, only Eleanor's two personal maids in the palace were still by her side, and then Schneider spoke.

"Your Highness Eleanor, do you know that because Your Highness Conrad has been in a coma for a long time, His Majesty Frederick wants to appoint another heir?" The captain of the guards surprised Eleanor as soon as he opened his mouth.

Eleanor was shocked and angry. "What? It's not like Brother Conrad will never wake up. How could Dad do this? Which bastard is he going to establish?"

"It is said that there is a prince named Mark who grew up in Meldorf Village. Rupert, the deputy chief of the Black Guard, has gone to Meldorf in the name of comforting the injured knight to welcome His Highness Mark." Schneider said.

Eleanor paused, unable to utter any curse words, after all, the biological father of this body of hers was Mark.

But Eleanor, who always supported her brother, was still very angry: "Really! How could Dad just abandon my brother? Don't worry! I'll go find him!"

Eleanor said this angrily, and then walked quickly towards Frederick's palace.

However, as the surrounding scenes became more and more familiar, Eleanor's father's majesty surged more and more in her heart. Although her steps were still reckless, her heart had unconsciously become a little weak.

Eleanor had never questioned her father before.

The two guards in front of him saluted respectfully and then pushed open the palace door.

However, Eleanor always felt that the door was like a bloody mouth that seemed to want to swallow her in.

No, don't be afraid! Eleanor! What's there to be afraid of about your father? You have the master behind you! Don't forget what the master has told you. If things get tough, quickly use shadow magic to hide, then pull this little gadget to ask the master for help!

Eleanor tried to use Russell to give herself courage, and prepared to escape and seek help, then she walked in with her head held high.

When King Frederick heard the servant's report, he looked up from the desk full of files and saw a woman who looked very different from his previous daughter walking in.

Ah, is this what my daughter looks like now?

A long-lost smile appeared on His Majesty the King's face. He looked at his daughter carefully, wanting to remember her current appearance in his heart.

Then His Majesty heard Eleanor loudly ask: "Father? On what basis do you cancel my brother's heir qualification?"

Alas, it seems that even being taken out of the palace to gain experience has not made my silly daughter smarter.

Friedrich could hardly conceal his disappointment.

In fact, when His Majesty the King first heard Eleanor's unfriendly tone, he was quite happy in his heart. He thought his daughter had finally grown up.

But as soon as Eleanor opened her mouth, Fredrich's hopes were shattered.

My silly daughter, why don't you ask yourself why you died in the palace? Do you really think it was just an accident? Why are you still worried about Conrad?

Although Friedrich couldn't hide his disappointment, he still smiled amiably: "Hahahaha, come, let me take a good look! My Eleanor is finally back!"

Hearing her father's kind words, Eleanor couldn't help but smile, but then she immediately frowned again: "Dad! You haven't answered me yet! What's wrong with brother Conrad?"

Eleanor herself didn't realize that her words had taken on a coquettish tone towards her father.

"Those are all irresponsible rumors! Don't believe them! I have never thought of replacing the Crown Prince! Come on, let me see!" Friedrich continued with a smile.

Eleanor then smiled with satisfaction.

Looking at his daughter's smiling face, the King was equally cheerful, presenting a picture of a loving father and a filial daughter. However, the King sighed helplessly in his heart.

262 Test

"My Lord, you said that you believed that Eleanor's death was not normal and you made preparations?" Margaret lay lazily in Russell's arms, chatting casually.

"Yes, I went to Gritzburg and took a look around. I found that the royal city is full of evil spirits. To be able to suppress this group of people and remain king for more than 20 years, Frederick is no ordinary person."

Russell ran a hand around Margaret's smooth back and gently ruffled her blonde hair.

"For a king like this, his daughter died in mysterious circumstances, and her heart was taken away from the palace by a knight. Yet, the subsequent actions were carried out as if nothing had happened. This matter itself is very unusual, isn't it?"

Then Russell used his other hand to habitually slap Margaret's butt: "It's okay if Eleanor is stupid and doesn't feel it, but shouldn't you, Margaret, not notice it?"

Margaret arched her back in Russell's arms and began to complain: "I have been away from this country for fifty years, my Lord! Although Frederick proposed to me and I refused, you know him better than I do now!"

"What? Friedrich even asked you for marriage?" This was the first time Russell had heard of this. He turned over and pressed Margaret under him with great interest. "Well, you actually hid this from me? I'm going to punish you severely."

"Well, my Lord, please punish me hard! Punish me for my sin of deception!" Margaret murmured, hugging Russell tightly, facing round after round of storms.

…………

Margaret was being tortured by her god, while Eleanor was being tortured by her father.

"So you're really serious about that Russell kid?" Frederick looked at his rosy-cheeked daughter, put on a kind fatherly face, and scolded her with a smile, "Humph, really, you found a lover but didn't even bring her back to show Dad."

Eleanor just stood there with a silly smile on her face. She was thinking about the passionate love affair with her master and her own attentive service before they set out, and had long forgotten the oath she made in her heart to "regain her freedom".

"Well, it's good that my daughter has found her own happiness! Back then, a famous knight once said, 'My daughter can personally choose her own husband.' My daughter can do the same!" Friedrich continued to smile and asked casually, "When are you planning to get married?"

"Get, get, married?" Eleanor was stunned by her father's sudden attack.

I, I am just a little slave girl, my master will never marry me.

Fortunately, Eleanor was not stupid enough to say this.

His Majesty's voice suddenly rose: "Yes, get married! Why, that bastard doesn't want to marry you?"

"No, no, no!" Eleanor waved her hands in panic.

"So you don't plan to marry him?"

"No, not really... Oh, father, you will know when the time comes! Just don't worry about it for now!" Eleanor didn't know how to explain. Her face turned red with anxiety. She simply stomped her feet and tried to procrastinate.

His Majesty the King seemed very angry, his nose not nose and eyes not eyes: "Then? When? Am I going to have to wait until the day I die without seeing my precious daughter get married?"

Looking at Eleanor, who was so embarrassed and at a loss for words, His Majesty continued to question, "Could it be that Russell really married a red dragon, and that's why he can't marry you?"

Eleanor had been living in a manor outside the city these days and had never heard of these outrageous rumors about Gritzburg. She was extremely surprised and subconsciously asked, "Red Dragon? What red dragon?"

Oh, it looks like the rumors about the red dragon were false.

His Majesty the King took the information he had gathered to heart and continued to inquire, "Humph! The whole of Gritzburg has heard about it! That Russell showed up with his Red Dragon sister-in-law! And they even beat up my Black Guard!"

Eleanor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Oh, that's Francine. She was just playfully calling Russell her brother-in-law. Francine's sister, Rosalyn, is a mage from Vitolos, not a red dragon."

Eleanor, who was naive, subconsciously revealed a lot of information.

Mages from Vitolos? Could this group really be from the outside world? Do they have a way to pass through the gray fog?

King Frederick thought calmly. Although he still looked like a kind and caring father on the surface, his mind was already full of thoughts.

…………

Margaret found herself becoming less and less competitive. As Russell advanced, her body became more and more sensitive. Often, as long as Russell fiddled with her for a while, she would involuntarily reach the highest peak.

Now she was lying in Russell's arms with her whole body flushed.

The two had been chatting for a while, and Margaret was still catching her breath. "So, you let Eleanor return to the palace to show your strength to His Majesty Frederick?"

"Yes, that innocent and silly girl Eleanor is no match for her father. She will naturally say everything she needs to say." Russell said with a bit of amusement, "I originally wanted to show my strength to intimidate the king, so that it would be easier for us to do business in the future."

Russell paused and jokingly said, "I didn't expect Frederick to propose to you. I can't predict His Majesty's reaction next!"

"Ha! My lord! Don't make fun of me! Frederick was just thinking of winning over the knight class. Besides, this happened more than 50 years ago. I'm afraid he has forgotten about it long ago!" Margaret obviously did not take Frederick's proposal seriously. After she rejected it through her father, she put it behind her.

…………

"I heard that the red dragon is not called Rosalin, but a woman named Margaret?" His Majesty Frederick continued to test calmly. He picked up the silver cup and drank a sip of water to conceal his purpose.

"Ah? How could Margaret be a red dragon! She is from the Walhausen family! I'm telling you in secret, Dad, Margaret actually came back from St. Blanc Island." Eleanor showed off excitedly.

"Cough, cough, cough, Saint Blanc Island?" The sudden place name made Friedrich choke, and his voice was a little distorted.

Eleanor didn't notice her father's loss of composure and thought he had just choked on water. She went over to pat his back to help him breathe.

After Friedrich's coughing stopped, Eleanor continued to share excitedly, "Yes, yes! Margaret is actually from fifty years ago!"

Eleanor couldn't hear her father's answer, so she lowered her head curiously, and then she was startled.

The silver cup was tightly grasped in the hand of His Majesty Frederick. It had been crushed. The deformed precious metal cut the king's palm and blood dripped down.
