Invade the white dove

Chapter 102 Contract 4

The whole city of Stanley came to life at the moment of the king's return.

When the king's carriage came into view along with the dust, the guards who defended the city blew their eagle whistles. The long and piercing whistle shattered the last chill under the cold moon, and at the same time pierced the dreams of the citizens of Stanley. .

A bonfire was lit in the tower, and the clear bells rang at the same time. The huge city gate creaked and pushed open from the inside. row out.

"Welcome Your Majesty! Welcome Your Princess!" the captain shouted at the top of his voice.

"Welcome Your Majesty! Welcome Princess!" The soldiers echoed.

Under everyone's gaze, the carriage swayed unhurriedly from a distance, and when the team leader looked attentively at the half-opened window of the carriage, trying to see the approving gaze cast by His Majesty the king, there was a "click", and the carriage The window was firmly shut by a thin, scarred hand.

The wheels raised a puff of white smoke, and the dust covered the smiling face of the team leader.

"咴-"

Yulis and Sotilia rode closely behind the carriage. The two galloping horses raised their heads and roared, their tails swung left and right, and they swept the horses' buttocks like big brushes, like an undisguised mockery .

The squad leader stiffly maintained a posture of bowing and saluting.

It wasn't until the king's convoy disappeared at the end of the street that the squad leader tore the smile off his face, and even spit a few mouthfuls of dusty saliva: "The 'Master Duke' who is on the throne with his face and butt, heh."

He wiped his lips, wanting to tell his subordinates to disband, but just as he raised his arm, a long sword shining with scarlet light roared towards him, and the squad leader's head, which was still growing on his neck, made a "boom" Hit the ground.

Blood spurted out, the headless corpse seemed to have not reacted, and remained in place. The scarlet long sword then turned at an extremely tricky angle and flew towards the direction where the carriage disappeared.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and the vice-captain of the squad was the first to react, stepped out of the queue, and directed the soldiers to carry the corpse away.He recognized the scarlet long sword, which was the sword worn by the Duke at the knight's canonization ceremony.

The deputy captain looked towards the end of the street.

The figure of the Duke has completely disappeared, but his heroic appearance has been deeply imprinted in the vice captain's mind.

In the ten years since the king's reign, he has never favored a person so much but refused to include him in the harem. The duke definitely does not rely on his bed skills.

May the friendship of king and duke last forever.After all, after His Majesty got to know this red-haired boy, his gloom was obviously much less than before.

At the same time, Julius wiped the blood off the blade and threw the handkerchief to Hassan.

"That flattering guard was originally on duty at the court, and was also a distant relative of the Duke's collateral line. I thought he was annoying, but I couldn't explain it to the Duke, so I transferred him to guard the city gate. "

Kyle said, and opened the window again.

The street gradually became bustling. The arched windows were propped up by wooden slats, revealing the busy figures of women cooking breakfast. Boys and girls chirped and complained that they didn’t want to get up, while the men were fully dressed and sat at the dining table urging their wives. , Educating children.

Ulis noticed the displeasure in Kyle's expression when "Duke Duke" was mentioned.

The Duke of Duke was the only nobleman in the Garman Empire who had his own territory before Julius broke the rules and became a duke. The reason why Julius was able to enter the Colosseum and successfully sneaked into Stanislaves was also thanks to the bard's hand. Blessing of the Duchess' rose brooch.

But he never expected that Kyle would be afraid of the Duke.

"Your Majesty, I am your sharpest knife, if you need..."

"That's a stubborn old man, and the most adaptable old man. I never saw him visit me when I was rotting and stinking in the dungeon."

Kyle looked up at Julius, "He is my mother, Queen Elise's brother, well, my father's brother, so he is both my uncle and my uncle."

Speaking of this, Kyle laughed a little mockingly: "The Mulder family is famous for its chaos. The Duke of Duke, who is pure blood, married a noble woman because of the so-called 'love' for the first time, but because of this After losing the right of inheritance, the throne is now in the hands of Iron Hand Sprue and me. I have to say that fate is indeed a wonderful thing sometimes."

"His Majesty……"

"Too much nonsense." Kyle waved his hand indifferently, "I can sit in this position thanks to the help of Duke Duke. Although I hate him, I have to say that he is indispensable for the stability of the empire... ..."

The low-pitched horn hummed, and amidst the shrill voice of the court herald, the steady speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at the fountain square in front of the main hall.

Someone knocked on the side door of the carriage.

Kyle changed the subject just in time.

"Come to me at night, it's time for you to get in touch with the core secrets of the empire, my Duke."

After finishing speaking, the king got out of the carriage first, kicked the court steward Dolly aside who was kneeling on the ground, and after explaining a long list of dinner and dance matters, he walked towards the side hall without looking back.

Princess Mia followed behind, but when she jumped off the carriage, she almost fell down because her legs were weak. Fortunately, Julius helped her in time, so that she would not make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

Princess Mia, the future queen of the empire, stood beside the carriage, curtseyed like Julius with a pale face: "Congratulations, Your Excellency the Duke."

Those pale green eyes looked at him affectionately, and Julius returned the salute, somewhat uncomfortable.

Mia withdrew her gaze, lightly touched the back of Julis's hand with the tip of her little finger, and then withdrew quickly: "Your Majesty has told more stories in the carriage these days than I have told him in ten years Lord Duke, His Majesty likes you, this is a fact that everyone can see."

"It's my pleasure," Ulis replied.

"No, not only that." Princess Mia clutched the handkerchief and put her hands on her chest, as if hesitating.

Seeing this, Julis bent his left arm, waited for Princess Mia to hold him, and took the initiative to lead Mia away from the crowd.

Sotiria followed behind them, and there was a "higher demon" standing here, and no one in the palace dared to rush forward.

The two stopped in front of the corridor covered with vines.

Mia bit her lip and continued: "The secrets of the Mulder family are never disclosed to outsiders, and are only passed on among pure blood. Your Majesty's sharing this secret with you is undoubtedly an absolute trust in you. However, Your Excellency, Everyone said that the secret was terrible, I just hope that after seeing the truth, you will not show the slightest fear or disgust."

"You've guessed it, haven't you?" Ulis retorted.

"Your Majesty is a lonely person." The moment their eyes collided, Mia's earlobes turned red, and the princess pinched her fingers and whispered, "He can tolerate the absence of a partner, but he cannot tolerate the betrayal of a partner. Lord Duke, I know that you have always regarded me as a twittering little girl, and girls are always stupid and ignorant. Although I cannot refute this statement, I hope you can listen to my words: Your Majesty regards you as the most Dear ones, please don't let him down. After all... we all depend on His Majesty."

Ulis thought of the boy who only dared to fall asleep after dawn, curled up next to the mute servant every night.

"Your Highness, I will never betray the person I admire and respect."

Yulis knelt on the ground on one knee, held the back of Mia's hand, and kissed the ruby ​​ring on her ring finger, "Thank you for your advice. I hope you will...be happy in the future."

He recalled the first official meeting with the imperial princess, Mia's haughty look when she ordered the court steward to drag Lisa out with her chin raised.

It is impossible for him to blame this little girl under the age of 15 for Lisa's death. After all, she grew up in this man-eating palace. To Princess Mia, slaves are no different from ants and earthworms.

But now, this unruly princess could no longer see any willfulness or self-esteem on her face.

She seemed to finally realize that everything about her was a gift from Kyle Mulder.

Accidents make people mature.
