Scene 109 Crisis in the Land of Flowers and Leaves

Just when Brando first encountered Dragon Queen Gwendolyn in the Silver Valley, outside the Bear Lake area - the offensive of the Jorgandigan army did not stop for a moment. After the Vargas area first lost news, Nafir and Taris declared their losses one after another. At this time, Cruz finally figured out who the enemy was opposite them - the lizard king, 'Grey Eyes' Moksha. Moksha commanded its army to attack Marching north, the troops swept through the Meilin area north of Bear Lake. The remaining resistance forces in the Andzlova area collapsed one after another. At this time, the intention of the Qorgendigan people was already clear.

Obviously, their target is Asaph——

Once Asaph falls, the empire will face the danger of losing the Evergreen Corridor, thus isolating the four realms. Until this moment, the people of the empire seemed to have reacted after being blinded. The lords and local legions everywhere quickly Mobilized and waiting for Her Majesty the Queen's order, they will go to support. The White Army advances southward to the vicinity of the Evergreen Walkway, ready to support this most important lifeline in the southern part of the empire.

But how easy is it to save the war situation?

In the previous offensives, some people even observed the existence of dragons, and the news from Rokoqi also confirmed this. At least two of the five underground kings participated in this war. This news It shocked the entire empire.

It seems that the empire has never faced such a dangerous situation since the last war. From politicians and soldiers to civilians, almost everyone is asking about this sudden war from all aspects. What the nobles are concerned about is this What kind of harm will the war bring to their interests, and civilians are worried about whether the war will spread uncontrollably, thus dragging them all into the quagmire of war.

At this moment, Andzlova's war situation is plunging the southern part of the empire into a confusing fog. From the Violet Valley to the Metz region in the north of the Sublime Inland Sea, from Cloak Bay to Bankel, countless eyes are passing through various They gathered here in this way, and everyone was waiting restlessly, waiting for the news from Asaph——

But there are always people who think further.

…

"What would happen if Asaph had been lost?"

The person who asked this question was a little girl with big bright sea-blue eyes and a blond hair shawl like waves. She was wearing a princess dress, sitting on a chair, folding her hands gracefully on the dress, and took a look. She is an aristocratic lady with good education. The former is looking up at Mrs. Merrie, their teacher of history and aristocracy. Not far away, Faina was sitting on a high back chair, looking absentmindedly out of the window - it was a floor-to-ceiling arch window, and outside the window was the winter scenery of the surrounding fields of Fort Lvov, with the forest still containing a touch of deep green. color, but above the forest canopy, against the snow-capped peaks of the mountains.

Mehotofen,

This is a basin surrounded by plains and hills to the south of the snow-capped mountains of Ludwig. The melted snow gathers into rivers and washes out this fertile wilderness. Whenever winter turns to spring, the place is filled with flowers. From Alkhash in the east The country bumpkins from the area call this place the land of spring flowers, because the cold wind howling from the eastern glaciers keeps Gracius covered in snow all year round. In comparison, this fertile area in the south is a warm place.

It did later get its name from this, the Land of Flowers and Leaves, which is exactly the name of this land.

And his master, before the Year of the Tachibana, was the noble Brooke. Duke Brooke died of typhoid in the Year of the Wheat, and then Duke Helix, who is now known as the gloomy Duke, succeeded to the position of Duke and became the actual leader of this land. The owner, the Duke, was not an ascetic ascetic, but he had few children. He only had two sons, the eldest son died in the last war, and under the two sons, he only had a pair of granddaughters.

Faina glanced at her carefree sister with envy. In my heart, I had already mercilessly despised the other party's stupid question, but this contempt came from a kind of elder sister's pampering for her younger sister, and it did not show on her face at all.

The relationship between the two sisters has always been very harmonious.

Elise is a well-behaved little angel known far and wide in the Flower and Leaf Territory, and Faina, whose temperament is named Brando, has learned it personally. She has always been lawless outside, and with her group of bad friends in the He is always doing evil things, but he has calmed down a little recently after returning from the Ring of the Trade Winds, and looks a little more ladylike. This is something Archduke Helix is ​​thankful for.

But what she has done during this period of time is to compile her adventure stories into a book after returning to the territory, preparing to take it to Rushta as bragging rights in the future - of course, before that, these stories had long been forgotten by her The only sister heard a familiar story. The little girl in the ignorant stage was not bored. Instead, she was full of admiration for her sister, so much so that the latter also longed for the outside world, but she couldn't do it. Just as bold as her sister.

After Elise asked that question, the hall was silent for a moment. Mrs. Mélière seemed to be thinking about this issue too - not in a practical sense, but purely in academic theory - so she was not at all concerned about the current empire. Affected by the situation, he pushed up his glasses, thought for a moment and replied: "From a purely military perspective, the Empire is likely to lose the Evergreen Walkway, but the symbolic significance of this blow to the Empire is far greater than the actual significance. The Empire Without the Evergreen Corridor, which can support the battlefields of the Four Realms from the Flower and Leaf Territory, this is a rare opportunity for the Grand Duke. If it had not been for the feud with Faenzan back then, the geographical location of the Flower and Leaf Territory would not have been possible at all. Not inferior to the Evergreen Walkway..."

This lady's vital interests are closely related to the Mosque and Leaf Collar, and she is deeply worried about the decline of the Mosque and Leaf Collar's business due to the last holy war. As soon as she talked about this matter, she immediately started to talk endlessly.

Elise listened with great interest, but Faina was already bored. She didn't know she had heard these things hundreds of times, and her ears felt numb.

More importantly, she had no intention of listening to these things at the moment. All the reasons came from the letter that was handed to her by her father's housekeeper the night before.

The letter comes from ** Rushta. The Kirk family, like many other big families in the empire, has many eyes and connections in the center of the empire's power, whether in critical moments or on ordinary days. Many letters were exchanged between these families, their informants, and their relationship networks. These letters were no longer a secret in the empire, but the one sent to Faina was particularly different.

This letter has some special secret marks of this ancient family, and these marks can only show that this letter comes from some important members of this family.

For example, Duke Helix and Faina's father, Earl Effie, are currently in adultery.

The content of the letter was very simple. It just said that we encountered some troubles during our trip and it might be a little later before we could return to the territory.

But it was this letter that aroused Faina's suspicion.

There is no male surname in the family at the moment, and with the surnames of her grandfather and father, it is absolutely impossible for her to solemnly inform her with such a letter - this has never happened before. , aroused her vigilance; this week, she inquired about information from the police through the housekeeper Elliot, but something strange happened. The family's previous informants in Rushta seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and no one could be contacted. .

The news about her grandfather and father are also half-true and half-false. Some news says that Archduke Helix still lives in the 'Tulip Mansion' in Japan, but the people sent by Eliot to eradicate the news reported that these news are all false. According to the information, the Duke and the Earl set out to return two weeks ago.

All kinds of conflicting news enveloped Faina like a dark cloud. She is now beginning to regret that she did not follow her grandfather's instructions earlier and seriously participate in the daily affairs of the territory. Now she has to start all over again. With no one to rely on, she only felt a black eye.

"The last group of people should be coming back soon." The young lady was sitting on pins and needles, thinking secretly in her heart, and the gushing Ms. Merrier couldn't help but become even more disgusting in her eyes at this moment, "This hateful old maid!"

Faina was so upset that she couldn't help but curse in a low voice. However, it was a pity that Ms. Merrie had a high status in the territory. In the past, her grandfather, Grand Duke Helix, would never treat the latter because of her slander. Well, most of the time she would be punished with solitary confinement, which was already a common occurrence for Faina. But now, it can be said that she alone is in charge of Huaye Ling, but she is not in the mood to retaliate against the other party.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, there was finally a long-lost knock on the door outside the hall. Ms. Merrier stopped again and glanced at Faina with a stern look, who quickly greeted her. She made an apology gesture, jumped off the high-backed chair, and ran out of the door in three steps. She didn't reveal anything about what happened in the past week and a half to anyone else, not even Elise, because of this The noble lady at least understands what that means.

Outside the door, the housekeeper in the castle had been waiting for a long time. Faina saw this close confidant of her father and asked quickly: "How is it, Mr. Elliot, is there any news about my grandfather and my father?"

In the middle of her question, she suddenly stopped talking naturally.

Because Faina saw that her father, the butler named Elliot, had a terrible look on his face. It was the first time she saw such a look on this guy who always showed off his poker face.

Without any warning, a bad premonition arose in the heart of the princess with a flower-leaf collar. She hesitated slightly and asked, "Butler Elliot, did something happen to my grandfather and the others?"

Elliot nodded stiffly: "Miss, something happened. I think you should prepare early."

"What happened!" Faina seemed to have been hit in the face with a stick. Her face turned a little pale, and she couldn't help but asked with a rare fear: "Is it my grandfather and father..."

"You think too much, miss," Elliot realized that the young master had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "The Duke and the Earl should be safe at the moment, but just a few days ago, Her Majesty the Queen issued an order, Put them under house arrest.”

"Under house arrest?" Faina was slightly startled. She seemed to be relieved and at the same time asked with some confusion: "Why?"

She knew that Her Majesty the Queen had not had a good relationship with the Kirk family since she came to the throne, but it seemed that it was not bad enough to put a duke under house arrest at will. What did this mean? It represented the royal family and a force in the empire. The huge family broke up publicly. She believed that this was something she did not want to see, both for Her Majesty the Queen and the entire empire.

"Her Majesty the Queen believes that the Duke and the Earl have betrayed the Empire." Elliot replied with some stuttering.

"Betraying the empire!" Faina almost jumped up: "What kind of joke is that woman? How is this possible!"

Elliot did not dare to answer this sentence because it was too treacherous. Fortunately, there were no outsiders here. He carefully looked around and then reminded himself of this little master: "Please be careful in your words and actions. Miss, the Duke and the Earl have been put under house arrest, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely attack us before this news spreads, you have to make an idea."

Faina was stunned for a moment.

She was asked to make an idea, but what idea could she make? The only one she could rely on at this time seemed to be her teacher Veronica, but the problem was that Veronica had long been depressed due to her previous trip to Eruin. Was placed under house arrest. After listening to Elliot's words, Faina couldn't help but feel isolated and helpless for a moment. She felt her mind was in confusion and couldn't help but said to her father's housekeeper: "Elliot, I understand. Just let me be quiet for a moment, and I’ll tell you what to do later.”

The old butler seemed to see his young master's embarrassment, but he did not expose it. He just nodded and replied: "If you need it, you can always give me orders." Then he turned and left.

Faina was left alone and confused by the door.

She never dreamed that an ordinary sexual trip between her grandfather and father would turn out like this. She didn't know whether she was crazy or Her Majesty the Queen was crazy, because under normal circumstances, even her grandfather If he really betrayed the empire with his father, the royal family should not handle it so lightly. After all, the impact here is too great. There are other reasons for Her Majesty's actions, but the key is that she can't figure out where the real problem lies.

"If only that guy were here now, he must know what happened. It seems that there is nothing that can be hidden from him." Faina couldn't help but murmured to herself.

She stayed by the door for a moment, and was about to turn around and tell Elise about the matter - the matter had reached this point, and she knew that she could no longer hide it. If she was not careful about the current situation, the Kirk family might be in ruins. Of course, the same is true for Her Majesty the Queen. This is what Faina can't figure out. She doesn't understand why the supreme leader of the empire seems to have gone crazy suddenly - and At this time, a guard ran in from outside.

When the guard saw her, he was slightly startled. He probably didn't expect that the young lady would stand by the door in a daze. Then he hurriedly said: "Miss, a group of knights are coming outside."

"A group of knights?"

"No, to be precise, a group of knights and another person came." The guard hurriedly explained.

"What a group of knights and another person," Faina replied angrily: "I will give you a chance to explain what you want to say in one sentence, otherwise I will throw you into the dungeon!"

The guard was startled, obviously not expecting to be angered by the venerable princess of the Flower Leaf Territory. He quickly and carefully explained: "Two groups of people came outside the door. One group seemed to be the knights of the town. But there is only one person in the other group, who seems to be a messenger."

"Knight?" Faina's heart skipped a beat. The so-called knights in the town are actually the knights of the inner court. It has long been an open secret that these knights are stationed in the private territories of nobles like them - in remote places, local places. The lord may only know that there are such people in his territory, but he may not know who they are. In a grand duchy such as the Mosaic and Leaf Territory, the royal family has to care about the attitude of each duke, so most of the knights stationed here are semi-public.

As monitors, the relationship between these people and the people being monitored will naturally not be harmonious. If they come to visit, it will probably not be a good thing.

Faina almost immediately connected with what Elliot said. She frowned and immediately wanted to refuse, but at this time, she stopped again and asked: "That The messenger is not with them?"

"Yes." The guard replied honestly. He couldn't help but feel glad that the little witch princess had shown mercy and didn't really throw him into the dark dungeon under the castle. This was no joke. Regarding the matter, last time a certain maid was slightly less than what the young lady wanted, so she was thrown down below and locked up for several days. The little girl was so scared that she is still a little nervous.

"Is he our messenger?" Faina asked again.

The guard shook his head: "It doesn't seem so. He said he was from Andzlova. I think he looks like a liar. That place has been sealed off for a long time."

"Shut up," Faina interrupted him coldly: "I didn't ask you this, but you said he is from Andzlova?"

The guard nodded.
