Skeleton King

After Sykes left, Nou noticed that Ace was still staring at the appointment letter, and asked concerned: "What's wrong?"

Ace was a little dazed, "What kind of person is His Majesty Ludwig IV?" Surprise flashed across Nou's face, and Ace didn't wait for him to answer, and said again: "It's okay. I just asked casually."

Although Nuo Ou didn't know why His Majesty Ludwig IV chose him, he still comforted Ace, "It's common for missionaries to send scholars, so don't think too much about it."

Without General Arnold, Ace really wouldn't think too much.

but now……

Nuo Ou: "Before the mission leaves the imperial capital, His Majesty Ludwig IV and Queen Celia will come to see him off, and we will see you at that time." Of course, if Ace did not escape the palace banquet, earlier, he You can see His Majesty.

Ace, it seems, doesn't take it to heart anymore, "Too."

But what Ace and Nou didn't expect was that the preparations for the mission had been completed in sevens and eighties, and the docking work with the Finger Empire had also been completed.But something happened in the palace.

Princess Fenfur has been staying at the mission for too long.

Queen Celia missed Princess Fenfur, so she sent someone to take Princess Fenfur back.

Princess Fenfur was not a scheming girl, and Bartholomew Caesar's time in the imperial capital had decreased visibly with the naked eye, so Princess Fenfur was naturally restless and looked out of place.There is no reason not to be discovered by Queen Celia.

Princess Fenfur was grounded by Queen Celia and never appeared at the mission again.

Ace breathed a sigh of relief.

Bernadette didn't take it seriously, "Queen Celia made too much noise. Everyone in the imperial capital knows about it."

"Princess Fenfur has had a relationship with Commander Richter. Not to mention her identity, but Queen Celia's reputation as a strict godson. People in the imperial capital believe that Princess Fenfur can keep her virginity. Of course, no People dare to believe that Captain Richter dared to take away Princess Fenfur's innocence in the palace. But now that this incident happened, who wouldn't say that Princess Fenfur is a passionate girl."

Ace frowned, "How do you know about this?"

If Princess Mary got these rumors, at most she would laugh it off.Princess Fenfur has followed the rules for many years, so she may not be able to bear the rumors.

Bernadette is a big kid, "In the Rose Castle, Princess Mary told us."

Rose Castle knows it, and it is not far from the whole emperor knowing about it.

……

royal palace.

His Majesty Ludwig IV summoned Princess Mary, and the two of them did not know what the secret conversation was about. After seeing her cousin, Princess Mary took the initiative to find Queen Celia.

For many years, Princess Mary did not have a good word with Queen Celia.

In fact, their relationship is not bad. When Princess Mary and Queen Celia were little girls, Celia was the adopted daughter of Prince Andreas and grew up with Princess Mary in the fief of Prince Andreas.

Until later, things changed.

The little girl who lived under the fence back then is already the most honorable woman in this empire.

The flat copper mirror is inlaid with gold rims, soft woolen blankets are spread throughout the bedroom, and even the tea sets placed on the wooden table are made by the best craftsmen of the Finger Empire.But now, there is a big gap on the tea set. It can be imagined that it was smashed to the ground.

The woman sitting at the wooden table is beautiful and dignified.

Queen Celia's long black hair was draped softly on her shoulders, and her eyes were blue, clear and deep and mysterious. These eyes were so wise that they could see through everything in the world.

It is also the sober eyes that can bring majesty.

Few women give people a sense of majesty.Girls like Bernadette are playful, Princess Fenfur is innocent; Princess Mary, who is the same age as Queen Celia, is coquettish, the Marchioness of Rose is holy, and Lady Caroline is charming.

Queen Celia was not surprised to see Princess Mary coming, "Mary, long time no see."

Princess Mary did not sit on the edge of the wooden table, and there was no other seat beside Queen Celia. She walked to the edge and sat down on the soft bed, leaning against the backrest like a boneless one.

Queen Celia said to herself: "I thought we would never see each other again."

Princess Mary is not in the mood to reminisce about the past with Queen Celia. Queen Celia is today because she married an excellent husband.And Princess Mary, since she was born, was destined not to look at anyone's face.

Princess Mary: "Cousin Ludwig asked me to persuade you."

Queen Celia: "What? His Majesty suddenly cared about his daughter."

Princess Mary didn't pay much attention to Queen Celia, but said: "You did this wrong. I heard that Fenfur promised you that if Bartholomew Caesar leaves the imperial capital, they will be cut off. You don't agree. "

Queen Celia's voice was a bit sharp, "Why should I agree? Bartholomew Caesar deliberately seduced her, I knew it, and I still wanted to let them be together?!"

In the eyes of Queen Celia, Princess Mary's proposal is extremely absurd.The fact that her husband, Fenfur's father, His Majesty Ludwig IV sent Princess Mary to persuade her made her even more angry.As a result, Queen Celia lost her mind for an instant.

Princess Mary sneered and said, "Is it useful for you to stop it like this? You will only push Fenfur further and further, and let her go to Bartholomew Caesar!"

Queen Celia shook her head, clenched her teacup tightly with her fingers, and said calmly: "She is a princess, and she will meet a better man. This sadness is only temporary."

Princess Mary stood up from the slump, turned and left, "Celia, you don't know the royal family of pansies."

Princess Mary did not persuade, and Queen Celia would not agree to Princess Fenfur and Bartholomew Caesar staying together again, even if it was just to let them say goodbye.She is so obstinate that nothing the Princess Mary can say will do any good.At the same time, Princess Mary also understands that if this is the catastrophe of Princess Fenful, Princess Fenful will not be able to avoid it.

Queen Celia looked at Princess Mary's back with dark eyes.

She will use all her strength to protect the jewel in her palm.

……

"What?!" Nou stood up from his seat in shock.

Bartholomew Caesar stood in front of him with a firm expression. The boy who sheltered the roses from the rain and only fell in love with Princess Fenfur repeated his request again, "Please introduce me to the Duke. Go to the palace, I want to see His Majesty Ludwig IV of the Pansy Empire, and ask him to allow me to propose to Princess Fenfur."

Nuo Ou spoke with some difficulty, "What did you say was your identity?"

Noou looked at the other members of the Finger Empire team standing by the tent,

Their expressions were ten times and a hundred times more desperate than Nou's, and they all looked hopeless. They didn't seem surprised by Bartholomew Caesar's decision, but they were also helpless and hopeless.On the other hand, this also proves the authenticity of Bartholomew Caesar's words.

Bartholomew Caesar seemed completely unaware of how unbelievable his request was and how much impact it would have. He was like the son of a well-matched farmer who wanted to propose marriage to the girl he liked. "My real name is Bartholomew Finger. , is the Crown Prince of the Finger Empire. I will provide Fenfur with a grand wedding worthy of her status, and I will love her with all my life and passion."

Nou: ...

Nuoou signaled the officials of the Finger Empire with his eyes, your prince's brain seems to be not working well, should he help fool him.

The officials of the Finger Empire looked at the sky one after another, as if they had given up on treatment.

Prince Bartholomew threatens other officials of the Finger Empire with a hunger strike to prevent them from stopping him and proposes to Princess Fenfur.The magicians of the Finger Empire can naturally "stop" Prince Bartholomew, but in the territory of the Pansy Empire, it is inevitable that Nou and the others will not find something strange.He had to carefully persuade Prince Bartholomew to ask Prince Bartholomew's father, His Majesty of the Finger Empire, to propose marriage to His Majesty Ludwig IV when he returned to the Finger Empire.

This shows that Prince Bartholomew attaches great importance to Princess Fenfur.

Of course, whether His Majesty the Finger Empire would agree to this marriage was beyond his consideration.

But the brain circuit of the strange prince is beyond the comprehension of the officials of the Finger Empire.

"What if Queen Celia treats my Fenfur badly? They might whip her and insult her..." Prince Bartholomew fell into infinite fear.

Official of the Finger Empire: ...

Official of the Finger Empire: "No. Princess Fenfur is the only princess of this generation of the Pansy Empire. She is most favored by His Majesty Ludwig IV and Queen Celia. They just disagree with Fenfur. When the princess sees you, she will never abuse her."

Prince Bartholomew: "Then what if my Fenfur is coerced by her vicious mother into marrying someone else before we return to the capital of the Finger Empire?"

The officials of the Finger Empire thought: That's the best!

But in the face of Prince Bartholomew, the officials of the Finger Empire still comforted, "No, Queen Celia is Princess Fenfur's biological mother, and she will put Princess Fenfur's happiness as the most important thing. Fenfell Princess Er has you in her heart, and she will never marry anyone else."

Prince Bartholomew: "But Fenfur knows my identity. I am capable but I don't save her. In her heart, I will no longer be a brave prince."

"What?!" Although Prince Bartholomew's words were ridiculed in the eyes of the officials of the Finger Empire, the most important thing was, "Didn't I tell you many times! Don't take you Tell others about your identity!"

The furious officials of the Finger Empire were not very respectful to Prince Bartholomew.

Prince Bartholomew: "Fenfur is none other than her. She is my fiancée."

The official of the Finger Empire said fiercely: "Princess Fenfur is not your fiancee yet!"

Officials of the Finger Empire will certainly not have as much trust in Fenfur as Prince Bartholomew, even if Princess Fenfur has deep roots in her lover like Prince Bartholomew.She is not at the embassy station now, and she was taken away by Queen Celia, who is known for her wisdom, so it is very likely that she cannot hide this secret.

That's when Prince Bartholomew had an accident in the Pansy Empire.As far as the Pansy Empire could tell, they didn't know the identity of Prince Bartholomew, so they didn't send enough protection.

Unless the Finger Empire decides to go to war with the Pansy Empire, it will have to suffer from this dumb loss.

If this is the case, it is better to disclose the identity of Prince Bartholomew and make the Pansy Empire more scruples.Moreover, Prince Bartholomew is still on a hunger strike, and they will be punished when they return to the Finger Empire.

……

Nou didn't tell Ace about it until dinner.

Bernadette was on the sidelines, "Wow! Prince and princess!" Her eyes were filled with pink bubbles.

Nuo Ou ignored her. After knowing the identity of Prince Bartholomew, he investigated the maids at the mission station and got a lot of useful information.Nou said: "I have to suspect that Prince Bartholomew is really an artist as he appears."

He is really sentimental, sensitive, and affectionate.

Nuo Ou had to speculate maliciously: "I even think that the officials of the Finger Empire really want to have an accident with Prince Bartholomew, so that they can change the crown prince."

Prince Xiben and Prince Bartholomew stood together like a big bad wolf and a little sheep.It's hard to imagine how Prince Bartholomew would prop up a huge empire after the current Majesty of the Finger Empire passed away.

Ace smiled and said, "What do you say in the palace?"

Nuo Ou: "Two brigades have been sent from the Royal Knights Guard. Tomorrow, they and I will jointly escort Prince Bartholomew into the palace."

Ace: "Do you think His Majesty Ludwig IV will agree to Prince Bartholomew's marriage proposal?"

Nuo Ou suddenly took a pen from the waiter, wrote two words in his palm, and clenched his fist again.Ace did the same with a smile.Then they spread their palms simultaneously.

Nou and Ace looked at each other and smiled.

The two words on their palms are exactly the same, "No."
