After being addicted to alchemy, the lady was kneeled down and licked by the Duke

Chapter 257 Crack (asking for votes)

There is a magnificent hall in Perkinmlin Palace.

There are a total of twenty-five Zhenguo pillars in the temple.

Without exception, they are all made of metal, or gold, or silver...

When Li Aili followed the emperor and the others to the main hall, there was a broken bronze pillar lying on the ground.

Li Aili was standing behind the empress. She saw that the empress' figure was trembling slightly.

"Go..." The Queen's voice was a little hoarse.

"Have you gone to notify Cesar's family?"

Catherine said: "People have been sent to report the funeral."

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Take Cizer's princess and her children to Perkinmlin Palace..."

The empress walked to the collapsed and broken Zhenguo Pillar and slowly, slowly squatted down.

Snap, a crystal teardrop fell on the broken ancient bronze pillar.

"Albert," her voice choked, "write to your sister Aniana and ask her to come back from Guangming Holy Monastery to attend her uncle's funeral."

Albert's voice couldn't be softer, "Yes, mother."

He patted Arthur's shoulder lightly, then turned and left.

He is the eldest son and the crowned prince who is currently supervising the country. The prince died in battle and there are countless things waiting for him to deal with.

Li Aili withdrew her gaze from behind the retreating prince.

Arthur walked to his mother's side and knelt down on one knee, raising his hand to gently follow the queen's back.

The emotional breakdown lasts only a moment.

The empress hugged her youngest son, and the cry echoed in the hall, "I don't want you to go to the battlefield, I don't want..."

Arthur just pursed his lips and let a tear fall.

He patted his mother's back awkwardly.

Let her mother's tears wet the blood-red ribbon that symbolizes her noble status.

"I am here, mother, and I will always be by your side. Everything is safe and sound."

Li Aili looked at Arthur in a daze.

Albert shouldered everything, so he lost the right to mourn the death of his relatives, the right to accompany his mother, and even the right to cry.

18-year-old Arthur has these just because someone stood in front of him.

Li Aili's eyes were a little red.

If she had met the current Arthur first, maybe there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings between them.

However, there is no if.

When they first met, he was already invincible.

……

When Prince Cizer's wife and only son arrived at Perkinmlin Palace, it was raining lightly in the main city of Holy Dragon.

A dark cloud hung over the castle.

Everyone changed into heavy black dresses.

Li Aili stood in front of the bedroom window and watched the black carriages parked downstairs.

Distinguished guests dressed in black mourning clothes came to attend the prince's funeral.

Knock, knock, knock on the door.

"Come in, Conrad."

Li Aili lowered her eyes and looked out the window, but she was thinking in her heart about the blank Holy Dragon Era in the epic.

Conard walked in and said, "Miss Li Ellie, the set of equipment you customized is ready."

"According to your instructions, I placed it in the newly built wooden house in the forest behind the castle."

Li Ellie thanked, "Okay, thank you Conrad."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves outside the window.

Li Aili looked downstairs.

Two teams of knights escorted a pure white carriage and stopped on the green lawn of the vestibule under the window.

The Church of Light has loved the color white for thousands of years.

The door of the carriage opened, and a girl in a pure white nun uniform stepped out of the carriage.

She is tall, has long black hair, has a delicate appearance, and a graceful figure. Every step she takes shows the good breeding of an aristocrat.

"This is Princess Aniana, the sister of His Highness Albert and His Highness Arthur."

Conard on the side introduced Li Aili.

Li Aili remembers Aniana’s appearance.

As soon as he took a look, he realized that this was the mysterious lady who appeared at the canonization ceremony.

But I didn't expect that she would be Arthur's sister.

Anayana hurried into the castle.

"His Royal Highness Cizer's body will be escorted back to the country this evening."

"The funeral will be held tomorrow."

Conrad talked mechanically about the process.

Li Aili noticed something was wrong and observed Conrad carefully.

The old housekeeper's eyes were red.

Only then did Li Aili think that the sacrificed Prince Cizer might have been raised under the care of this old housekeeper.

Li Aili opened her mouth, and until finally Connard left, she couldn't think of any words to make the gray-haired butler feel better.

At night, Catherine came to the door of Li Aili's room and knocked gently on the door.

Li Aili opened the door and saw Arthur dressed in black at the door.

"Can you accompany me to the Dragon Tower to pick up Uncle Cizer?" Arthur asked.

He lowered his eyes slightly, with deep sadness in his eyes.

Li Aili agreed softly: "Okay, I'll get a hat."

At noon, Catherine brought over the black skirt and hat.

Li Aili put on a long black dress that represented mourning.

Back in the house, she took the black hat with the veil off the coat rack.

Put on your hat in front of the mirror and adjust your black mesh veil.

After walking out of the room, she said to Arthur: "Arthur, let's go over."

Arthur extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner.

Li Aili covered her hand with her, just like when they were together a thousand years later.

Arthur squeezed her hand slowly and tightly.

The two of them were silent all the way and walked hand in hand to the Dragon Tower.

……

When they arrived at the top of the Dragon Tower, there were already many people standing here in silence.

Albert turned around to see them and waved to them.

Li Ellie and Arthur stood beside Albert.

Albert tilted his head slightly, "After that, tell me about Aniana."

"This kind of occasion is somewhat inappropriate."

The empress, whose face was covered with black gauze, stood at the front of the crowd.

One step behind the empress, to the left, stood Princess Aniana in a white monastic uniform.

That white monastic robe is so beautiful.

The gold embroidery on the corners is a craft that only the sun and moon elves have.

Arthur looked at Aniana's white monk's robe, his eyes darkened and he nodded.

What made Li Aili a little concerned was the mother and son standing on the other side of the emperor.

My mother had been crying silently, wiping her eyes from time to time.

Her son hugged his mother's waist tightly, trying to support his mother with his thin body.

The rain has stopped.

But the night sky was still hazy, and not a single star was visible.

The imperial pillars of the empire collapsed, and it seemed that even the dragon gods shed tears for the departed heroes.

Under night, a group of dragon knights escorted the coffin and flew to the Dragon Tower.

Several giant dragons landed on the dragon tower one after another.

Prince Alex and Prince William carried the coffin down.

The dark coffin was covered with a blue holy dragon flag.

The emperor and empress walked towards them and were about to speak.

I saw Prince Cizer's only son jumping over like a little firecracker.

Like a vicious wolf cub, he bit the back of Alex's hand fiercely.

Albert reacted quickly and almost instantly took the child by the collar and pulled him back.

Prince Cesare's only son glared at Prince Alex with hatred.

"It's all because of you. Papa quarreled with you before he left, so he died!"

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Aqil!"

The emperor looked at the princess behind him.

The princess just stared at the coffin, her eyes blank.

The person she loved was lying inside, separated between life and death.

She turned a blind eye to the noise from the outside world.

She stepped forward, but not to take her child back.

"Can you open the coffin? I want to... take a look at him again."

Alex's lips trembled and he shook his head slightly.

The princess lowered her eyes and looked at the coffin, "But... I am his wife..."

"How can you not let a wife see her husband for the last time..." the princess murmured.

Prince William winked at the Empress.

The Empress grabbed Princess Bernardez and said, "Bernardez, go to the Hall of Valor first, where I will let you meet."

After the emperor took the princess away, Li Aili only heard the two princes whispering instructions: "The body must be cremated and Bernardez cannot see it."
