Arcane splendor begins with the throne

Chapter 109 Princess Corney

The next morning, Brian didn't get up as early as usual.

He didn't get up in a hurry until the morning light in the east changed from purple blue to white and red.

He simply dealt with the breakfast prepared for him by the old wizard, and under the hesitant gaze of the old wizard, he didn't bother to talk to him, and walked directly towards the place where Princess Kearney lived.

Last night, the sleeping princess had successfully awakened the celestial lineage and God's Blessing Warlock.

The whole awakening process was smoother than he had imagined, which made him realize that it was definitely related to the angel from Tianjie Mountain.

Brian knew that Princess Corney only needed to rest for one night to adapt to the changes brought about by her body, and she could wake up the next day.So he planned to go there later to confirm, and it could be regarded as a business with the old king.

Of course, he also has his own little thoughts.

He wanted to confirm what special abilities the princess had mastered after the simultaneous awakening of the celestial bloodline and the God's Blessing Warlock.

Then, by the way, ask her for a little blood, so that his "Blessing of Heavenly Mountain" can be upgraded to a higher level.

Brian leisurely looked at everything in the palace, commenting from time to time, and walked towards the princess' bedroom.

What made him feel good was that he finally didn't meet that annoying magic swordsman Snake Eye today.

Although this broken-mouthed guy didn't have any malice towards him, he always floated out like a ghost from time to time without him noticing, and it was hard to guard against.

While making his teeth itch with hatred, there was nothing he could do about it, he could only find a way to take advantage of it verbally.

About half an hour later, Brian came to the door of the princess' room.

Just when he was about to knock on the door, suddenly, a loud noise made him stop the movement of his hands.

"No, father! I will never agree."

A resolute and soft voice came, and he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully.

"Kirni, my dear child, I am tired of this kind of conversation. As a member of the royal family, while holding power, you must learn to take responsibility and share my worries."

"Father, I know all this, and I know it very well, but I just don't want to make such a choice. Please, don't do this, okay?"

"It's a responsibility of the royal blood and you have no say in it."

Brian moved a little closer to Princess Corney's room.

There was a gap left in the door of the princess' room, and he listened carefully to the sound coming from the gap.

From the conversation between him and the old king, it can be found that the king is very fond of Princess Corney.

Therefore, he was very curious, what kind of request did the old king make to the princess when she was recovering from a serious illness, so that the princess would beg him so hard in order to be able to refuse.

Soon, Brian guessed the approximate reason.

This made him even more puzzled. Could it be that the old king really didn't know that his newly awakened child couldn't deliberately stimulate her?

Just when Brian was in a daze, he suddenly felt the door being pushed open, and the old king's old figure appeared in front of him.

Immediately, let him stand at the door with an embarrassed expression, not knowing what to do.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm here to check on the princess's physical condition, so I couldn't help but overhear your conversation."

Brian glanced into the room out of the corner of his eye, and then confronted the old king's gloomy face, "If I disturb you, I'll leave now and come back later to check."

"It's okay, Your Excellency Brian." Seeing that it was Brian, the old king softened his expression, and then said in a deep voice:

"I just want my kid to do what she's supposed to do. Our conversation is over, now you can go in."

After the old king finished speaking, he walked out of the door.

Brian subconsciously glanced inside the door.

He found that the princess with long blond hair hugged her knees, curled up pitifully at the corner of the bed, and was crying intermittently. This made him feel a little bit unbearable, so he took the initiative to catch up with the old king.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say about the princess. I don't know if I should say it." Brian thought about it in his heart, and said straight to the point.

The old king stopped and looked at Brian with cloudy eyes.

Looking at the composure and calmness revealed in his eyes shining like obsidian stones, he fell silent for a moment, and said in a soft tone:

"Your Excellency Brian, you woke up my child. I haven't had time to thank you properly. If it's about Kearney, then just tell me. I'm not that pedantic. You don't have to feel any scruples about it." .”

Seeing that the other party was so easy to talk to, Brian showed his pampering to the princess everywhere in his words.

This made him really unable to understand how this old guy made the princess who had just woken up cry in anger.

"Then I'll just say it straight, Your Majesty the King." Brian looked at the old king who was so sincere, and he didn't hesitate any longer. Say it all in one go:
"The reason why Princess Kearni fell into a deep sleep, I think His Majesty should be very clear, the main reason is that she was stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and the devil caught the opportunity, leading to the success of the temptation. If it wasn't for the favor of the goddess of luck, she suddenly returned to her ancestors With the blood of the heavens, I am afraid that he has already fallen into Bator Hell by now.

Although the princess has successfully awakened now, she has also awakened the noble blood of the heavens by virtue of a misfortune, and there will be no sequelae.But when I rescued the princess, I could feel that her fragile heart was as fragile as glass.

Therefore, as a father, Your Majesty the King, if you really love your child, I suggest you try not to provoke her, otherwise, you may be caught by evil things again.What the princess needs most now is to recuperate for a while in a calm and comfortable environment. "

After Brian finished speaking, he met the old king's eyes surrounded by deep wrinkles with a calm face.

He didn't find out until then.

The king's eyes were actually the same as Duke Swift's, except that due to old age, they looked like murky water that could not flow.

Their pupils are surprisingly pale, almost indescribable, and even staring at them for a long time can make people feel upset.

After listening to Brian's words, the old king came back to his senses and focused his attention on the other party.

This young half-elf wizard still gave him a calm and calm feeling as usual.

Even if the cold breeze lifted his messy black hair and hurt his eyes, he still stood up to the erected halberd, and remained so calm from beginning to end.

This reminded him of the scene of taking his children to Tegrila ten years ago.

At that time, Korni was only eight years old, and she also stubbornly violated her plan to let her marry the eldest prince of Tigrila. A young half-elf also appeared and persuaded herself calmly and rationally.

It was also his deep black eyes that made him decide to obey his child's wishes.

In the end, without disgracing the face of his allies, he chose to marry the youngest third prince of Tigrila on the grounds that the age gap between the two was too large.

It's a pity that since the farewell, apart from hearing the news that the half-elf prince escaped from the palace, this person seems to have disappeared from the world, which makes him feel regretful.

Thinking of the old king here, for a moment, he seemed to feel that the two had overlapped.

But after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head secretly, thinking that it was impossible.

Because the handsome half-elf prince gave him the feeling that he was always immersed in sentimentality, as if he had seen through everything in the world and had no interest in anything.

This is understandable, after all, a half-breed who grew up in the land of the elves and lived in the human world for five years, his life experience does make people feel that he has been cut apart, like a plant that has been twisted and grown potted plants.

The half-elf adventurer in front of him is obviously different from the prince.

His facial contours are three-dimensional and deep, with sharp edges and corners, with resolute lines like a knife and an axe. Under a pair of lightly raised sword eyebrows, his eyes shine like obsidian stones, revealing a calm and calm light.

The most important thing is that the well-informed old king can feel it deeply.

The opponent's whole person exudes an imperceptible fierce aura, like a sharp sword hidden in a plain scabbard.

Moreover, he knows very well what the so-called momentum is, which is naturally produced after a person has experienced many bloody killings.

The old king's heart slowly felt a kind of melancholy that was almost numb. He rubbed his forehead, stared at Brian in a trance for a moment, and showed a self-deprecating wry smile.

He seemed to feel that his body and mind were dry, and numbness, fatigue, and weakness spread all over his body.

"Thank you for your advice, Your Excellency the Wizard, I know what to do." The old king who was silent for a long time sighed deeply.

Just a few words made Brian feel the fatigue in his words, and even made him feel a little inexplicably sad.

This familiar tiredness and sadness made him involuntarily recall the last time King Tigrila stared at him.

That warm gaze is like the entire sea of ​​stars, leaving bit by bit of warmth in the galaxy of time...

Brian was taken aback, and immediately dispelled all these distracting thoughts.

"If...you can." The old king hesitated, and said to Brian in a pleading tone like an old father: "Your Excellency Brian, if it is convenient, please help me...persuade her well and calm her down." come down."

Brian didn't answer, but nodded slightly as a response, then watched the king leave, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

The moment he turned around, a ghostly figure had quietly appeared behind him at some point, startled him and jumped back, opened the distance, and then clenched the hilt of his sword.

"Don't be nervous." The magic swordsman Snake Eyes said with a smile: "I can't tell, you really have a way, and it's much more useful than that old fellow Morelle."

"If it's okay, get out of the way." Brian said indifferently at this moment, not wanting to talk to this annoying guy.

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the princess' room on his own.

"What's the rush?" Snake Eyes leaped lightly and stood in front of Brian again.

His pale pupils changed shape, and he said with a smile: "It can be seen that you seem to like Princess Corney very much."

"Everyone has a love of beauty. Is there anything wrong with that? Snake Eyes, you are too lenient." Brian looked at the Demon Swordsman with a hostile expression, and said coldly.

He always felt that the other party was more like being instructed by someone to intentionally touch his bottom line again and again here.

"Don't mind, I'm just curious, just ask." Snake Eyes shrugged with a smile, leaving Brian a back, and then dropped a sentence: "Good luck, get the princess's heart as soon as possible, Tegrila the third prince."

Looking at the figure of the other party leaving, Brian frowned.

Although he had guessed that it was not the old king's instigation for the magic swordsman to test him so repeatedly, but it was precisely because of this that he couldn't figure out who it was.

Brian walked to Princess Corni's room, and pushed the half-closed door open.

He found that the princess was still leaning against the corner of the bed, motionless. When he walked in, he just raised his red eyes.

However, the crying had stopped, which made him heaving a sigh of relief.

After all, it was too embarrassing for him to coax a crying girl.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Brian recalled ten years ago, when he was in Tegrila's palace, the little princess who was only eight years old undoubtedly broke into his small courtyard and hid outside the window crying alone. .

And out of curiosity, he opened the window and asked why.

Only then did I learn that the other party was unwilling to be engaged to the eldest prince of Tigrila, and did not want to accept this kind of fate that had been arranged long ago.

So out of sympathy, he helped her out.

Because at that time, he was already ready to escape from the palace.

Let the princess take the initiative to choose to marry him, and naturally he will leave with him, and finally this political marriage will come to nothing.

Brian wiped the memory from his mind, then closed the door and walked over to her bed in a little bewilderment.

The chubby little princess he remembered back then had grown up and turned into a blond girl with a slender frame, a delicate face, fair skin, and a gentle demeanor, just like the beauties in old portraits.

It's a pity that those water-blue eyes that are familiar to him, because of the crying just now, dispelled her agility and liveliness, and added a little fragility to her.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency the Wizard, for letting you see me like this, but...for me, maybe this...is the best." Seeing Brian approaching, Princess Corney immediately stretched out her hand Wiping the tears off his face, he looked up at him apologetically, and said softly.

After finishing speaking, he took out his handkerchief again, wiped his swollen eyes, and showed a far-fetched smile to Brian:

"When I just woke up, I heard Xiao Lier mention you and saw your true face, which finally confirmed her description of you and satisfied my curiosity. As she praised, you The most handsome wizard I have ever seen, thank you for your help, Mister Wizard."

"You're welcome, Princess Corney." Brian smiled slightly and said:

"I was entrusted by your father. Regardless of his status as a king, I can also feel that when talking with your father, he revealed his concern and love for his children. Therefore, there must be something between you. What a misunderstanding, right?"

"Thank you for your comfort, Your Excellency the kind wizard." Princess Kearney stroked the hair on her forehead, then adjusted her snow-white nightgown and appearance with a reddish face, and said in a low tone:
"Actually, I can understand my father's difficulties, but the real world is full of illusions, only pain never lies, so I really don't want to take on that heavy responsibility so early."

"If you don't mind, can you tell me?" Brian pondered for a moment and asked, "What exactly does your father want you to do?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Kearney looked at Brian's face with red and swollen blue eyes, and looked at his deep black eyes. She seemed to feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity in a trance, so she couldn't help but said curiously:
"Your Excellency the wizard, can you tell me your name? This will make it easier for us to communicate, otherwise, when I mention wizards, I will always think of Grandpa Morelle.

Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to belittle you wizards, I just want to express that compared with normal wizards, you are so different, pleasing to the eye, and look more comfortable than those trembling old men. "

"You can just call me Brian." Brian laughed, as if he had found the familiarity of chatting with this little girl back then.

"Bryan?" Princess Kearney repeated in a low voice, the expectation in her eyes turned into disappointment, then she raised her head and said, "Then are you a half-elf who grew up in an elf's territory?"

"Almost." Brian said casually.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned the sensitive topic of elves." Princess Corney heard Brian's perfunctory tone, and immediately realized what was going on, so she quickly replied.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Brian didn't care.

"I've been used to it for a long time...then you must be an experienced wizard." Princess Corney was stunned, and said enviously: "Mr. Brian, can you tell me what it's like outside?" world?"

"The outside world?" Brian didn't know how to speak, he thought about it, and said:

"The outside world is very wide, full of pain but also full of joy. If you get used to it, you will find that the former can make you grow, and the latter will make your journey not unbearable."

"Really?" After listening to Princess Kearney, her heart was empty, and she said in a sad tone:
"It's a pity that I don't have that kind of opportunity anymore. My father wants to force me to marry someone I don't like, and asks me to learn how to manage the kingdom. He doesn't know at all. I just want to be a carefree princess. , not the queen."

"Don't worry, you're still young." Brian comforted dryly, "You're not yet married, and you still have a lot of time to squander."

"That's what I said too, but my father said it's okay, we will get engaged first, and next year, as soon as my name day comes, I will marry Prince Andair." Princess Corney took out her handkerchief and wiped it again. Wiping his red and swollen eyes:
"You don't even know that before my brother was killed in battle, I was just a princess with an honorable title. In their eyes, I was just a little guy with blue eyes who could only play around the palace mischievously. Back and forth. They had to find me a suitable husband as soon as possible, before I was a woman, before the threats of gossip, fornication, and incest arose. So, at the age of eight, I was given I made a marriage contract."

"Is this why you are arguing with your father?" Brian nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"That's right, Brian, you weren't born into the royal family, so you don't understand at all. In fact, when my brother died in battle, I knew that the future of the entire Kingdom of West rested on me. So I I have resigned myself to my fate and started to obey the arrangement of fate. I don’t care how popular my future husband is, how handsome he is, and how kind-hearted he is.” Princess Corney seemed to have found a vent, and turned herself backwards to Brian bitter water:
"I'm just sad and angry that I don't have any choice in this matter. I... I feel like an object, I'm a thing, not a person, my father gave me away, just To solidify his political alliance."

"Then... have you ever liked this prince?" Brian asked tentatively.

"Like him?" Princess Kearney narrowed her bloodshot blue eyes angrily.

"I don't even know him yet! He doesn't even have a... Forget it, what's the use of saying that? I know this kind of thing is very common among the royal family and the nobles. In the end I'm just a pawn, it's just me I never thought that my father would be so urgent and didn't even give me time to think and prepare.

I'm very sorry, Mr. Brian, I shouldn't have told you so much, but I don't know why, the first time I saw you, I felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, maybe because you woke me up the reason. "

"It's okay, Princess Corney, I'm also very sad to hear you say so much." Brian said sincerely:
"With the liberty to ask, do you have a sweetheart? You are the future queen of the Kingdom of West, maybe you can try to convince your father so that you can marry someone more suitable, one who will make you happy too people."

"It's useless." Princess Kearney shook her head in pain, "You should have heard our conversation just now, in order to strengthen the political alliance, he never asked me what I thought, just like half a year ago, he asked When I proposed to marry Prince Andair, I was not giving me advice, but ordering and forcing me with the responsibility of royal blood."

"Besides, I'm just a genius." Princess Kearney looked up at the oil painting on the wall, and said in a disappointed tone:
"I haven't even been in a relationship. I haven't even found out who I really want to share my life and my bed with. I really regret it."

"What do you regret?" Brian followed the princess' gaze and asked calmly.

"Brian, do you know?" Princess Corney hesitated, and said in a low tone:

"Actually, I have already made a marriage contract, and I am the third prince of Tigrila. This was originally a little secret between the two of us, and I shouldn't tell you."

There was a smile on the corner of Brian's mouth, "Since it's inconvenient, then don't say it."

"But I suddenly want to say it now." Princess Corney gave him a stubborn look, and said:

"Actually, when I was eight years old, my father planned to betroth me to the eldest prince of Tigrila. Of course I didn't want to. Just like today, I secretly hid in a corner and cried, and then I met He. He is also a half-elf just like you. He said that he is willing to help me. As long as I take the initiative to ask for an engagement with him, and then run away from the marriage, I will get rid of the fate of political marriage. And let me not tell anyone, including my father."

"Then what do you regret?" Brian asked curiously.

"I'm a bit regretful that I promised too quickly." Princess Kearney put her hands on her knees and said in a low tone:
"If I had expressed my willingness to marry him sincerely at that time, maybe he would not have chosen to escape from the palace and live a precarious life without letting the good prince be wrong. In this case, at least it is better than marrying a strange prince. Although I was only eight years old at the time, but I could feel that he was really good to me."

After Princess Kearni finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on her delicate cheeks that were about to fall.

"Then, have you ever thought that... this half-elf prince will suddenly surprise you one day." Brian pondered for a moment and said with a smile.

"Impossible." Princess Kearney suppressed her smile, shook her head again in pain, and stared blankly at the vase on the table—a bunch of withered luanwei flowers:
"When I said goodbye to him in Tegrila, he gave me a bunch of withered phoenix flowers, and said that he would come to me unless the bunch of flowers bloomed again. How could a flower that has withered for ten years bloom again? , it’s as unbelievable as a dead life resurrected. This is obviously his excuse, his excuse for not wanting to see me again.”

"You can't speak so utterly, dear Princess Kearney." Brian followed the princess' eyes and pointed at the vase, "Don't you think it has bloomed again?"
