Act 300 IV
Griffin seemed to have really untied the knot in her heart, and under her arrangement, everything became orderly again. 『≤E』≤Novel『≤Net, www.exiaosh uo.COM≤Looking at Her Royal Highness who has become shrewd and capable again, Brando also heaved a sigh of relief. She is also charming and charming, but he prefers the princess in front of him in comparison.
Probably because it is more [real] and closer to the image in his mind.
But Brando did not relax his vigilance. Although the princess cheered up temporarily, it could not change the fact that they were in a difficult and dangerous situation; Unopened issues need to be dealt with——
He didn't intend to speak, but waited for someone to bring it up. Overwell who was present was thoughtful, and the black female knight Nimesis didn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, so he didn't need to be smart.
It's just that every time Brando looked over there, he couldn't help but be attracted by the black female knight. Nimesis stood there quietly, exuding an aura that was very familiar to him.
Familiar yet strange.
The room fell silent for a short while, and Nimesis naturally noticed the young man's eyes on her all the time, but every time she turned her head, she saw the other man's eyes quickly moving away.
"Hmph." The black female knight frowned slightly. Not far from her, the half-elf girl seemed to be arranging everything in an orderly manner. She turned her head and looked at Overwell, who was sharp-tongued in the past. Know that the other party is implying yourself.
"Your Highness, what about Her Highness Haruze?"
After a while, she asked quietly; the words seemed to hit Eruin's future princess, the girl froze, and Brando even trembled slightly when she saw her slender fingertips.
This is an unavoidable problem. As early as at the Knight Academy, the royal party has always been in charge of the little prince's daily life. It seemed like a kind of protection earlier. But now it's surveillance and control. Now her brother has already fallen into the hands of the royal party. As for Markaro and Earl Baal, both of them were dragons and phoenixes, it might not be so easy to snatch them from them.
"Of course we want to seize people, and we must not let my brother become their bargaining chip." But how to seize people is a problem, the princess frowned deeply——the only thing she can command now is a weapon that has not yet been released. The cavalry composed of young cadets who have completed their studies is less than half the number of the royal knights.
What's more, on the surface, the princess has not really broken up with the royal party, and both sides can say that there is no way out.
Once the royal party loses the last bargaining chip, it might fall to the side of the Temple of Fire. ∮E∮Novel∮Net, www.exiaoshuo.C∮O∮M∮ This possibility is very small. But she has to worry.
The huge room fell silent.
"Why don't you take a trip, old minister." Overwell replied: "If it's really not possible, you can ask the Knights of the Lake for help, maybe..."
"I'll try to convince Freya." Nimesis replied quietly, there was no trace of worry on her face, she was as calm as a sculpture.
The strength that the Knight of the Lake showed last time is probably second only to Andersa whom Brando had seen in the Ring of Tradewinds. No wonder Overwell would think of him. It's just that although the Holy Sword of the Lion Heart is still in Freya's hands, the Knight of the Lake seems to have been protecting the future Valkyrie, but it's just protection. Freya really might not be able to command this great god.
In fact, Overwell may not be aware of this. It's just that the princess faction really can't come up with any good solutions at the moment.
Brando shook his head, and finally couldn't help interjecting: "I'm afraid it won't work, Lord Overwell. In fact, it is not difficult to snatch people, but we need to adjust the schedule."
"Adjust your itinerary?" Everyone present was taken aback.
"I suggest not to leave so early, it's better to wait until the noble meeting starts." Brando replied: "Actually, there is no difference between leaving sooner or later. Even if we leave now, there will be mountains of swords and flames outside, which is not much easier than going out of the venue directly." .”
"Besides—" he wanted to continue. But Her Royal Highness interrupted him with a bright eye: "Besides, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. If we want to escape, we will definitely not choose the venue. Because of this kind of thinking, maybe that Sometimes it will be easier for us to break through.”
"Of course, we don't have to rush out of the meeting place. We can choose the time period before entering or leaving the Temple of Anderfule. That time must be the time when the other party's vigilance is the most lax."
"And the key is. When we go to the meeting place, Makaro and the others will relax their vigilance, thinking that Her Royal Highness will not have the courage to tear themselves apart with them." Overwell also nodded.
All the people present were smart people. Brando thought of this before them. It doesn't mean that he is better, but he stands on the sidelines and even jumps out of this history, and knows better what will happen in the next meeting. What. And the princess faction has to face more fear of the unknown future, who knows whether the Temple of Fire will be killed in the next meeting. 『≤E』≤Novel『≤Net,www.exiaosh uo.COM≤
But as soon as Brando poked through the window paper, everyone present reacted.
"Then let's set it after the meeting is over. The royal party still has a battle to fight with Grand Duke Sifah, so let's watch the show." For a moment, the ability to grasp the situation seemed to return to the princess, and she gently Smiling, with a slight sarcasm: "The Temple of Flame will attack us, I'm afraid it won't be in a short time, after all, they have to wait for the coalition forces from the north to arrive, right?"
"Since we are going to attend the noble meeting, can I trouble Mr. Brando to escort His Royal Highness to leave the manor?"
It is said to be an escort, but in fact it is almost the same as Ming Qiang. But Brando shook his head: "This candidate is not suitable for me. First of all, I don't know His Royal Highness, and secondly, the army under His Royal Highness's army may not be enough to break through this time, and I also have one in Amperesel now." The army, I will personally command them to assist Her Royal Highness to break through."
The eyes of all the people present were brightened after hearing this statement, and they couldn't help looking up at Brando. They never thought that this "princess knight" would actually bring an army here. Of course, Brando's current apparent identity is the "secret agent" of the royal family. Naturally, this credit falls on the princess.
Overwell couldn't help but take another look at his students. Could it be that she really expected today's situation?
Only Princess Griffin's eyes were full of splendor.
...
"Her Royal Highness asked Viscount Begnin to escort His Royal Highness Prince Haruzer?"
Thunder and storms are converging over the entire city. The clouds seem to be covered with a gray and black canvas, layer by layer, and the paint spreads along the rain patterns. Storm clouds also change shape.
The rain washes against the eaves—
The torrential rain soon wove into silvery bands of light. Water drops rolled down the brim of the hat to form thin streams, but fortunately the oilcloth cloak was not soaked; Freya turned her head, her taupe eyes shone in the night, she looked sideways at Brando, her fair skin The shimmering light on his skin was as clear as jade.
Brando nodded.
The Viscount Begnin he knew was the youngest son of Grand Duke Sifah, and he stood in this camp with admiration for the princess. This person did not have a great reputation in history, and he seemed to become the head of the Sifah family later, that's all.
However, this person is loyal to Her Royal Highness, and at the same time, he is outside the Royal Party. Just the perfect man for this task. It's just that he didn't know why, but he faintly felt something was wrong, could it be because of jealousy?
"I heard..." Freya hesitated to speak.
"What did you hear?" Brando looked back at her. The future Valkyrie lost her youthfulness a little, but she still had the shadow of the stubborn female militia captain in Butch's country.
"I heard that Viscount Begnin is in love with Her Royal Highness. He was originally the youngest son of Grand Duke Sifah. His coming here means that he has betrayed his family. I think Her Royal Highness will trust him so much. There is also a reason stop."
Brando gave a noncommittal 'hmm'.
Brando knew that the princess of girlhood might not have no tenderness in her heart, but she was more hard-hearted than ordinary people. It is impossible for the Corkova family represented by her to be combined with the Sifah family represented behind Begnin, but maybe Viscount Begnin really won the heart of the princess.
Heavy rain invaded the basin, and lightning occasionally lit up the whole world, making the world into a vast expanse of whiteness. The Great Sanctuary of Andeful stands silently in the rain. The whole building is like a silent wall. There are statues of gargoyles and flying dragons on the wall, each of which is a priceless art treasure.
The two hid in an alley across the street from the temple. At this moment, there is only a short time before the time agreed with Magdahl.
He said he was here to steal the ship statue, but in fact he was just here to meet Magdal. Now that he has the Sea Demon Whale in his hand, he doesn't want to cause extra problems in this eventful autumn.
On the side, Freya was slightly envious, most girls lacked resistance to such romantic things. I have to say that Begnin's behavior is indeed shocking in this world. As a nobleman, he betrayed his family just to chase his love.
That is a story that only exists in chivalrous novels.
But Freya, who showed her girly side, was also quite cute, and Brando couldn't help but carefully looked at the future Valkyrie. For some reason, he felt that he could only show his natural side in front of Roman and Freya. As if to relax.
Speaking of abandoning everything for the sake of ideals, Her Royal Highness Valkyrie is actually the same person. And now it seems that he is doing the same thing for the sake of this future Valkyrie and the future of this kingdom.
It's just working hard for a different history.
When Freya turned her head, she was taken aback by his expression: "Is there something on my face?"
"No, no." Brando shook his head quickly.
"Why hasn't Princess Magdalen come out yet?" Freya didn't notice the strangeness in his heart, but asked, she has always been a quick-tempered person.
Brando looked at the time—it was just right—but he glanced up at the back door of the temple. There was still no one there, which made him frown. Generally speaking, the two parties in the interview should be very sensitive to time. Unless there is something wrong, it is rare for them to be late.
Besides, Princess Magdal doesn't look like such a careless person.
A trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart.
"Is there something wrong, Brando?" Freya saw the clue.
"The scheduled time has passed."
She frowned slightly: "Could it be... that Princess Magdal has encountered some trouble?"
"It's possible." Brando could only guess so.
"Then what shall we do?"
Brando's brows almost frowned into a word, if he doesn't need any shit boat statue, he can come and get it at any time; in fact, the content of the letter that the new priest Moros handed over to Wood, after getting After the news from the north, he could almost guess that he came to connect with Magdahl, but it was just to confirm.
The safest way now is undoubtedly to turn around and leave. But Brando felt a little uneasy in his heart. He felt that if he left without saying a word, it would be a kind of betrayal to Princess Magdalen who might be in trouble in the Temple of Enderfule.
Just like abandoning his comrades, Brando felt that he couldn't do such a thing.
"Brando, do you want to go in and find her?" Freya asked in a low voice, "Magdal is a good friend of Her Highness the Princess..."
"Well, how are you going to get in?"
"I don't know, but we can try, can't we, we will always find a way."
This is too much to take for granted, as expected, this stupid woman's nature has not changed. Brando shook his head: "No need." Before Freya glared at him, he added: "I know, come with me—"
