Chapter 175 Black Crow Witch
The room on the third floor of the palace banquet is very quiet. This is a place for the distinguished people to rest. Queen Lily is taking care of the sleeping prince at the moment.
Seeing that little face undulating slightly and sleeping soundly, Lily couldn't help showing a loving smile, she covered the thin blanket, and then turned around. . .
"How's the situation outside?" she asked Wen Na, the head maid beside her. There was no one else in the room except the two of them.
"The eldest son of Griffin came to the banquet this time. Elon was entertaining him. He seemed to be a matchmaker and introduced a sister of his family."
"Griffin and raven?" Lily thought quietly about the meaning of it.
The four major duke families are all extremely large forces. If they marry each other, it will not be a good thing for the royal family.
But at this time, there is no suitable reason to stop it. In addition, the defense of the border now has to rely on the army of the Griffin family, which is really not easy to offend.
"Didn't His Highness the Regent come today?" She turned to ask another host of the current empire.
"His Royal Highness was busy with business and didn't come here." Now that the cold disaster in the north is getting worse and worse, the interior of the empire is really devastated. Fortunately, the rebellion in the south has stopped a lot, and the princess of the red dragon will not return.
"It's troublesome." Lily shook her head and stopped thinking about such complicated things.
She's not that smart, and some things have to be self-aware.
"Do the major families in the north have any requests now?" Some time ago, many nobles in the north asked to take people south to survive this rare winter.
Such a bizarre request was naturally rejected, but the voices of those nobles and vassals could not be completely ignored. If they were ignored, it might lead to disaster.
"It's still asking for more food, and the support of the extraordinary. They seem to be very interested in the methods proposed by those scholars at the Royal Academy."
"That crazy idea?" Lily seemed to have some reflections.
"Yes, it is to use a large number of mages to trigger silent underground volcanoes, bring heat and melt ice."
"This is to recreate the miracle of the sea of lava, but it's a pity where to find the witch of flames now."
At the end of the first era, the allied forces of mankind captured the holy land of the elves, turning the World Tree and the region it was in into a sea of fire in the true sense. Dyed crimson.
In such an ocean, even birds would not dare to cross, the scorching waves would burn the feathers, and the sky was full of turbulent airflow.
Where the lava and fire flowed, the homeland of the elves turned to ashes, collapsed and sank into the flames, and finally only the remote emerald forest survived.
It took nearly three years for the magma to tumble and the sea of fire gradually cooled. According to the records of the classics, in the ten years after that, the average temperature of the entire continent rose by 3-5 degrees, and several years of Neverwinter were spent.
"This plan is still too crazy, and the consequences may not be expected by everyone." Lily rubbed her forehead after listening, feeling still not good.
"It's really sad that she can't think of a good way, if she..." After speaking, Lily closed her mouth again, dispelling this unrealistic fantasy.
"That's it, now let's go out to meet the sons of the two dukes and say hello."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid bent over and saluted, then helped the queen up and walked out of the room.
In the second half of the banquet in the palace, many young men and women were spinning and dancing on the dance floor. The soothing dance steps, although unpleasant, were also full of style, showing the elegance of everyone.
Looking at the scene on the dance floor, Jerain held the wine glass in one hand and shook it slightly, thinking about whether to invite the girl beside him to a dance.
He can be sure that this girl who is like a black swan will not refuse his proposal, but the problem is that he is not ready for the time being.
Dancing is a small thing, but the signal and meaning behind it is a big thing.
The eldest son of Griffin, who has never been engaged and has no lover, invited a girl to dance for the first time at the banquet. This will make many people think that the relationship between the two is no longer simple, and perhaps the next step is to be engaged in marriage.
Do you want to invite? Actually, after chatting with this girl for a while, he still has a lot of goodwill.
This Miss Fa Xiner is very quiet, her voice is soft, she is very knowledgeable, and even her own extraordinary strength is not weak. He can't find anything to criticize in a short time.
Just when Jerain was hesitating, a loud noise came from the second floor, a waiter and a maid opened the way, and then Her Majesty the Queen wearing a deep red rose dress walked down the stairs.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." A group of nobles stood up one after another, stood on both sides of the road, pressed their chests with one hand, bent over and saluted, and the music by the dance floor stopped temporarily.
"Let's go too." Jerain stood up and said to Fa Xiner beside him.
"Yes, Your Highness." The girl lifted her skirt lightly, followed by Jerain's side, and came to the front of Her Majesty the Queen.
"This is Elon's younger sister, Fa Xiner, who came to see His Majesty." After everyone said hello, Elon, the elder brother, introduced his distant sister to Lily.
"I have seen Your Majesty." The black-haired, black-dressed and black-eyed girl replied softly.
"It's pretty." Lily looked at the girl who was a few years younger than her and blinked.
This is also a rare beauty. Although Frocia is slightly worse than the previous crown princess, it is difficult to find a noble girl comparable to her in the upper echelons of the empire today.
Another warm welcome
Xuan, Lily chatted a few words with Jerain, who had just arrived in the imperial capital, and routinely asked about the physical condition of the old Griffin Duke.
"My father's body is still healthy, and he recently led people to hunt giant bears in the mountains." Jerain remembered the old-fashioned father, and thanked the queen for her concern.
Seeing that the chat was almost over, Lily resigned first, saying that she would leave the protagonist of the banquet to everyone, and would not disturb herself. She knew that everyone was bound by her presence, and she didn't like too much entertainment and communication, so she simply left.
Watching the back of the Red Queen disappear into the corner of the stairs, the dance floor in the banquet became lively again, and the music played again.
"Your Majesty is still so indifferent, not interested in socializing." Looking at Lily who was leaving the stage, several senior nobles sighed in the corner, seeming to think that the queen did a bit unqualified.
They are close officials loyal to the royal family, and their fiefs are also near the imperial capital. Naturally, they hope that the royal family will be stronger, but evaluating this queen by aristocratic standards is obviously not perfect.
The first is blood and origin, and the other is character. He does not like to communicate, which has caused some close vassals of the royal family to gradually become cold.
"His Royal Highness Edron did not marry either. Today, the royal family still lacks a mistress who can integrate and communicate with each other."
"There is no need to be so pessimistic. Thinking about the moody and short-sighted queens in history, this majesty is already very good. If the little prince is brought up slowly, he may not be able to sit in that position safely until he abdicates. "
"I hope so, God Bless the Empire, a true red rose, evergreen." These people once again tapped their hands on their shoulders and prayed softly.
Afterwards, the banquet gradually dissipated, and Jerain also said goodbye to Miss Faxiner.
"I think we might be able to leave a way to keep in touch with each other." When parting, Jerain finally sent an invitation, saying that he did not reject the girl.
"Thank you for your love, Your Highness. If you want to see me, you can send the invitation letter to the mansion on Golden Iris Street, where I always live."
"Then, see you next time." After knowing the address, Jerain took the back of the girl's hand, kissed it lightly, and then said goodbye.
The carriage of Duke Griffin's house slowly started, and a dozen or so fully armed white lion knights guarded both sides and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.
Watching the eldest son of the griffin leave, Fa Xiner stood on the steps under the gate pillar and stood there for a long time.
"Are you gone, the eldest son of the Griffin?" A familiar voice sounded.
"Yes, Lord Elon." Fa Xiner turned around and saluted, then took a few steps back and stood beside the man.
"Don't be so polite and unfamiliar. Although you are not my biological sister, you have the same blood as me, and both have Trey's name. You can call me brother in the future, and you can come to me if you have any business. Help." Elon shook his head and placed his hand on the slender girl's shoulder.
"Okay, Brother Elon." Fa Xiner replied obediently, her black pupils were still quiet, and she didn't seem surprised or panic.
"Sure enough, it's very unusual." Looking at this self-possessed girl, Elon seemed to feel emotional.
Among the younger generations of the Trey family, there is no shortage of talent in cultivation. There are several young people in Sequence Six, and they are all direct descendants. Even he himself is a Sequence Seven, but when it comes to being suitable for entering the court stage, and There are very few people dealing with nobles.
The young ravens in the family are either wizards who love classical knowledge, or indifferent soldiers, and there are few people who are humane and warm.
Although this younger sister doesn't speak much, at least she can still talk. It will not be uncomfortable to get along with her, and she can be very relaxed, which is a rare exception in the Trey family.
"Have a good relationship with the eldest son of the Griffin. I investigated, he was infatuated with a quiet girl with dark hair when he was in school. You have a lot of similarities with that girl, and he is the type he likes. Just keep it like this. , dating a few more times, getting to know each other slowly, and making a marriage contract is not difficult."
"Now that the North is in crisis, we need the help of all parties. If we can form an in-law with the Salius family, it will be of great benefit to us."
"Fa Xiner understands." The girl nodded. Her extraordinary job was the Necronomicon Sequence 6 Black Crow Witch. This is a rare prophet-type extraordinary job. She could see scenes thousands of miles away, detect the hidden truth, and peep the hidden truth. Moment of destiny.
There is a huge thread of causality and destiny on Jerain, and his future will attract many people and events, and its level has exceeded the level of normal duke heirs, even higher than Elon beside him.
Although she can't change her destiny, she can at least vaguely perceive its existence and try her best to guide it in the direction of hope. This is the value of her existence.
As a descendant of the Trey family, you should do your best to contribute to the family, even if you sacrifice yourself, it is worthwhile
