Scene 13 Brother and Sister II

The maid Edsa looked out of the terrace with some concern. The blue sky was clear, but there seemed to be some uneasy haze hidden in this increasingly heavy port under the veil-like clouds. In her eyes, a stretch of tile-red roofs stretched into the distance, and the magnificent buildings depicted a certain kind of unique landscape in the Pasha Road area.

That is the glitz and delicacy of the aristocrats, with a comfortable taste everywhere. But the traces of the rainstorm are still there, and the broken branches in the courtyard that have not been cleaned seem to represent some kind of bad omen.

"I'll have someone clean them up, the people below are too shameful." Edsa sighed and said softly. But rather than talking to himself, it is better to say that he is asking softly.

She stared at the back of the man on the terrace. His long dark brown and nearly black hair flowed like a waterfall on the red cloak, which was trimmed with snow-white fur and hung down to the ground.

"Edessa, no need. Anyway, I didn't notice it. You know it. Actually, you don't need to be so careful." The man said, his voice was as gentle as running water. He raised his head, as if he took a deep breath: "Well...do you feel it? This is the smell after the storm, only now the air is the cleanest, as if the world has taken on a new look."

"But in fact, the outside is very messy at this time of year, with branches broken by the wind and tiles blown off the roof," Edsa replied: "For ordinary people, going to the streets at this time is also a A dangerous thing."

"Hey, Edsa, if you don't tell me, I won't know? You're always like this. Is this world so useless in your eyes?" The man couldn't help but smiled wryly. Seeing him sigh, Edsa felt a little uneasy, but still replied: "My task is to tell you what I saw, Your Highness."

The man smiled, but didn't answer.

She suddenly saw a group of white pigeons flying from a certain direction, which should be the square on Newsock Avenue. The maid stared blankly at the birds soaring high. But it wasn't that she suddenly wanted to be free; she turned her head, looked at her master, and asked with some concern: "Your Highness, it has been many days."

"Don't worry." The man replied. Edsa was not so sure about hearing his tone, but she was very aware of her master's temper, so she didn't speak anymore. Instead, he buried the uneasiness in his heart well.

This has become accustomed to her.

The room fell silent for a while, and Edsa quietly watched the group of pigeons fly away. She suddenly remembered the stories told by the old people when she was a child. It was said that the flocks of birds in the north would pass through the storm when they migrated south, fighting against their day-to-day fate in the rainstorm and lightning that fell from the sky, but really can it? She couldn't help but look at that figure from behind.

...

outside the carriage,

The hustle and bustle of shops constitutes a unique landscape of Hong Kong. Although the breath of war seemed to have just faded a little bit, the merchants filled Ampersel with vitality again.

Brando opened the carriage door, and carefully helped Antitina off the carriage. This made Miss Staff a little embarrassed. Originally, as a follower, this should be her job.

Instead of letting the lord do the opposite.

Next is Miss Merchant. Roman threw himself from the carriage into Brando's arms. Then the business lady giggled, causing Brando to tear her tender face angrily.

"Ah!" Roman's small eyebrows immediately raised.

Brando looked up and looked at the carriage on the other side of the square. The curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted, and the half-elf girl watched them from behind, then nodded slightly to him.

Although Her Royal Highness is eager to find a way to calm the chaos in the north as soon as possible. But the time to meet the officiant of Wood was finally delayed until the next day——,

The current Ambexel is full of forces from all sides. But in the final analysis, the power of the princess still has the upper hand, followed by the temple and the nobles in the north. The natural strength of the temple is after this well-known mistake. Also had to temporarily hide under the table.

And as the ultimate responsible for this incident, Wood is actually no longer the No. 1 person in the Temple of Fire in the Port of Amperesel—after he left the position of the High Priest, the Temple has confirmed a new candidate The new high priest, Gladys, is not well-known in the temple, but Brando is very familiar with this consistent neutral faction; With a fair and neutral attitude, sending this person from the temple to Ambersea can also show that the Cruz people have changed their attitude towards the northern and southern forces-the new high priest will not arrive at this port until the middle of the year at least, so Wood is still taking care of it. Some daily affairs of the High Priest.

Yesterday, when the princess took him to meet Wood, the acting high priest, he did not expect that the latter happened to be out of the city to appease the people of the parish. It wasn't until the next morning that the invitation from the officiant was delivered to the two of them by the servants.

This time Brando took Antitina with him, but the businessman lady wanted to go with her because of some reasons--mainly the performance of this lady in the last battle that made everyone look up, plus In a series of discussions on the ownership of the wreckage of the Titan, Lord Roman's key identity as the actual manipulator - the name of this young lady has long been known to this port, so Brando took her to go It's not a very shocking thing. Of course, the most important thing is that Brando understands that it is absolutely impossible for him to defeat the shameless businessman in any case.

Princess Griffin brought her younger brother. The four people's carriages soon met in the central square. At the invitation of Her Royal Highness, Brando and the lady of the staff transferred to the carriage, and the three squeezed into Her Royal Highness's carriage painted with lilies and crescent emblems. Brando saw the little prince Haruze sitting next to the princess at first sight.

The historical Prince Haruze sat quietly next to his sister, just like Brando's impression a few years later, he was still a quiet and weak teenager, or rather a child. He rested his hands awkwardly on his knees and hung his head. The soft hair on the forehead almost hangs down to the collar flower on the chest. If you are not wearing a white shirt with the royal coat of arms and a lion-patterned saber, it is hard for you to believe at first glance that this will be Eruin's future king.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Griffin couldn't help sighing. In her opinion, Brando will definitely occupy an important position in this kingdom in the future. She originally wanted her younger brother to have a good relationship with the "important minister" of the kingdom; in fact, she even hoped that Brando could become Ha Lu Ze's teacher - this is not a fantasy, Brando's current strength is completely qualified to take up this position. If he still needs to be humble, then in all Aruin, except for an old monster from the ZTE era like Turaman, I am afraid that no one can admit that he is qualified to teach His Royal Highness the prince.

But Her Royal Highness the Princess also knows that with the performance of her younger brother. I'm afraid it's hard to get into the eyes of my 'knight', after all, the status of teachers and students complement each other. In her opinion, Brando does not need a royal student to show his identity, but he is not necessarily willing to teach an incompetent disciple to discredit himself.

Of course, some people may covet this position because they want to show their favor to the royal family. Griffin is used to such cases. Back then, Overwell was willing to teach her swordsmanship because of this part of the reason. The world knew that Obergo VII loved his daughter. …,

But it's a pity that not everyone is Sir Wolf, and not everyone is Brando. Princess Griffin could only sigh faintly when she thought about this.

But what she didn't expect was that when she felt that things were hopeless, Brando, who was sitting quietly beside him, had a great interest in the little prince. He was sitting next to Miss Staff, Her Royal Highness didn't speak for a while, and Miss Merchant was curiously opening a drawer on one side of the carriage to find some snacks from it—it was obviously not the first time for her to ride in Princess Griffin's carriage, all in all. No one in the carriage initiated a topic for a while. Taking advantage of the brief silence in the carriage, Brando carefully looked at the opposite, Aruin's future king Majesty xià.

Tell the truth.

This was the first time he saw this little prince in this life, and even if he added the previous life, he only had a few encounters with this prince. Although in that era, he also had contact with the upper circles of this kingdom during the last period of Aruin's ZTE. However, he was still not familiar with this Prince His Royal Highness.

certainly.

Nominally speaking, Haruze should be regarded as Aruin's king at that time.

It's just that due to some well-known reasons, such as the obstruction of Grand Duke Anleke, the future majesty the king may not have a day of independence. And in fact, he himself lacks this ability. Prince Haruze in Brando's memory is the same as now, introverted. Cowardice, this is almost the most fatal shortcoming of being a royal family—or even being an aristocrat.

Cruz's famous lord of the lowlanders, Howland has a famous line in the game: "Nobles can be vicious, insidious, greedy, and even mediocre, but they must not lack responsibility!"

And Prince Haruze happens to be such a person.

It is said that his temperament has a close relationship with the new queen of Oberg VII. He was favored by the old king, but Brando knew that the royal family had always been Sifah—the queen's side had the upper hand.

The historical Prince Haruze did not finally wake up until his sister, Princess Griffin, was murdered. But it was too late, and later Madara invaded Aruin for the third time, and Aruin perished.

After that, Brando left this sad place. Later, there were rumors that Eco and Yula's daughter Alara reorganized Eruin's resistance organization. Some people said that Prince Haruze did not die in the fire when the capital city was broken, but was killed by the Crucifixion. Buga rescued and later married Elara.

But these are just rumors, and no one has seen it with their own eyes. Not to mention Brando, who was already far away in St. Osor at that time.

But history did not make Brando despise the prince, on the contrary, it just deepened his curiosity. He read an article on the Internet, which was introduced by an Eruin netizen to His Royal Highness. It is said that although Prince Haruze is shy and introverted, he is actually very outstanding in many aspects, especially in learning magic and swordsmanship. The talent is extremely outstanding.

That article even vaguely hinted that His Royal Highness might be a chosen one.

Of course, this is just a one-sided statement for Brando. But it does not prevent him from searching for the truth. As far as he knows, Prince Haruze has been learning swordsmanship from Princess Griffin since he was a child. It is said that there has been no success. Where did the evidence come from?

Or is it just eye-catching?

Brando looked at the hand of the little prince Haruze, which was as white and slender as a woman. He couldn't help shaking his head, this was not a pair of hands that used swords all the time, let alone the hands of a person with outstanding swordsmanship talent. …,

As we all know, any talent comes from hard training. Even a swordsmanship genius like Buga is the fruit of countless hours of training. There is no reason in this world to get something for nothing-of course, Brando knows that his situation is an exception, but he doesn't think Haruze The prince is a time-traveling party just like himself.

But did this little prince in history hate swordsmanship, or was he not good at swordsmanship? Which side is right? Brando was sitting in the carriage, but Haruze seemed to notice his gaze, and shrank his hands in fright.

"What's the matter?" Her Royal Highness immediately realized her brother's abnormality, and she asked with some displeasure. The education of the royal family requires their descendants to maintain a minimum appearance under any circumstances, and Haruze's performance today is obviously a bit too much.

She knew that her brother had always been introverted and shy, but it was too much to be so helpless. Especially she didn't want Haruze to leave an impression in front of Brando that he could be bullied.

Haruze was startled when he saw his elder sister's sobs, and stammered, "No...it's nothing, elder sister."

"Your Highness, the little prince is only ten years old this year, right? At this age, it seems too early to practice magic." Brando suddenly narrowed his eyes and said.

Nobles often let their children follow some famous court wizards to learn magic and knowledge, such as the chief court wizard Li Woods who died in the Battle of Ampersel to Princess Griffin, and the strange seeker Garlock to the king. The eldest son and the other sister.

But in fact, all Warnd's magic will eventually involve drawing power from the sea of ​​magic power. Although it aims to weave the law, the dark magic will more or less affect the caster, so most wizards have relatively weak physique.

For the same reason, generally speaking, although most apprentices of wizards start to learn relevant knowledge at the age of four or five, they usually start to learn magic after they are adults. Or at least until after the age of thirteen.

But Brando found something interesting in Haruze.

He could almost assume that the little prince had practiced black magic.
