Skeleton King

Until the social season came and Ace left the Black Manor, his communication with Nou remained uninterrupted.

Ace:

The Green family is in business with other places.But it's not the Finger Empire, it's the Territory of Chaos.There are only simple weapon shops in the Prin Mountains, and most of their utensils flowed from the Green family's fief.

We do business with them, and they will default to not coming to the eastern plains of the Louisiana province.Unless the winter can't go on, they only loot food and rarely kill innocent people indiscriminately.If they invade the eastern plains of the Louisiana province many times, we will also unite with the Finger Empire to clear the land, then they can only go to the Warcraft Forest to grab the stone bowl from the Warcraft.

I hope you have no plans for the Territory of Chaos.Both the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire have thought about eradicating this cancer and occupying the Territory of Chaos.But their vitality is terribly tenacious. Every time we feel that we have killed them, they reappear like weeds in spring.

I don't know if your work in the Finger Empire is over.Looking forward to your return.

Noel Green

……

After receiving the letter, Ace quickly sent a reply to Nou——

Noah:

Asking you about the Territory of Chaos is because Karl Caesar and I want to do some business, to ship some of these trinkets to the Finger Empire, to corrupt the will of the Finger Empire.

For example, the ale produced in the province of Westphalia, people in the Finger Empire like this very much, but I heard that drinking too much ale will make people stupid.

Although I think our plan is great, the knights of Prim Canyon may not agree.They have been banned from alcohol for many years, and Carl Kaiser and I are worried that the ale will be stolen and drunk by the knights of Prine Canyon on the way to the Finger Empire.This runs counter to our plan.

So we want to open a passage through the Territory of Chaos.We'll bring crates of wine to the Lord of Chaos as a reward, in the hope that they'll be a little bit dumber too.Don't worry, I won't add magic potions to fine wine.So they should not be able to discover my "good intentions".

I heard that you have a habit of drinking now.The eldest daughter of the old Earl Richter——Claudia Richter is very good at brewing wine, and she is very famous even in the Finger Empire.Or maybe it's because compared to her younger brother, Claudia Richter is more like a member of the Richter family, a long-haired beauty with silver hair and silver eyes?I heard that you often taste wine together?Oh Nooo, I hope you didn't get too stupid when I got back.

Claudia Richter may be a stunner, but if I remember correctly, she's a few years older than you.I don't think it's a good idea to be David Richter's brother-in-law.

Ace Neumann

……

That night, Ace received a reply from Nou——

Ace:

You talk so much about ale, just to remind me not to be stupid?Rest assured, although I will not become a scholar, I believe that among the ancestors of the Green family, I will be an excellent lord.

By myself.

So I don't need marriage.

Yes, old Count Richter wants to marry me his eldest daughter, but Bernadette doesn't like her.Bernadette said that no girl would like to be in the same room with a beautiful woman every day, that would only compare her to a tomboy.She hates bondage.I also want her to live a more willful life.

Moreover, the perfume on Countess Claudia Richter was too strong.We may not be a good fit either.

Speaking of social season is coming, will you go to the dance party in Finger Empire?I am very curious.

Noel Green

……

Ace wrote back to Noou slowly and happily——

Noah:

You don't have to say so much about Claudia Richter, she's not important.

In the Finger Empire I will go to the ball, because my identity has changed, I am no longer a scholar, but Duke Black. (In the previous correspondence, Ace had already told Nou about Karl Caesar and his plan in detail. Although Nou disagreed with this, Ace's confession did greatly offset Nou's anger.)

It's not like a duke to turn down a social season ball, especially my first social season after my succession.It doesn't do me any good to arouse suspicion.

Funny how we have the same title now, albeit not in the same empire.

I will be leaving for the imperial capital in a few days. No one should recognize me. When I followed the mission to the imperial capital last time, I only participated in the welcome dinner and Princess Fenful's wedding. (Ace is still not used to calling Fenfur the princess.)

At the welcome dinner, I sat among you, and it was not my turn to chat with the dignitaries of the Finger Empire.At Princess Fenfur's wedding, because I was going to be a guide, I had to put on a lot of powder on my face, and Lady Caroline would not recognize me when she was alive, let alone anyone else.Also, I'll never forget how hard you laughed the last time you saw me putting powder on my face.

I also look forward to seeing you as a guide for Bernadette.Be sure to let me see it first.Don't worry, I'll try not to laugh so hard.

Ace Neumann

……

Nuo Ou was very dissatisfied when he saw the beginning of Ace letter, obviously Ace mentioned Claudia Richter first.However, Nou didn't tell Ace that after he returned to Green Castle this time, more and more noble ladies appeared at the banquet held in the Louisiana province, but when Fannou was there, the perfume smell at the banquet was particularly strong.

Nou thought that Ace would appear in the imperial capital of the Finger Empire again, and he began to quickly recall the information they collected in the imperial capital of the Finger Empire last time, hoping to help Ace.

But before Ace received Noou's letter and went to the imperial capital of the Finger Empire, a big event happened.

This great event not only changed the fate of many people, but also changed the current structure of the Finger Empire, shook the ruling and opposition parties of the Pansy Empire, and had an extremely profound impact on countless people in this and future generations.

From the Pansy Empire in the west, to the Finger Empire in the east, and then to the Dragon Island and the Magic Island, no one, no monster, or any force can escape this catastrophe.They are either drowned in troubled times, or reborn from the ashes.The giant dragon will once again soar above the nine heavens, and the fierce beasts sleeping under the sea will show their sharp fangs to this peaceful continent.

And the person who opened the prelude to this catastrophe was a person beyond everyone's expectations.

It was an uneventful afternoon.

Princess Eugenia has just returned to the Black Manor. She went to the field to talk to the farmers about the cultivation of wheat grains. At the moment, she is sitting on a deck chair in the garden, closing her eyes and meditating.

Carl Caesar has arrived in the Finger Empire, and Ace has just handed over the matter to him.Ace was playing with old Duchess Black's parrot in the garden at the moment, and he hadn't been this comfortable in a long time.

It was at this time that the old Duchess Black came to the garden, followed by the butler of the Black Manor.Ace had never seen the old Duchess Black walking in such a hurry, most of the time she was an elegant noble lady, and Princess Eugenia didn't even learn her mother's half demeanor.The old Duchess Black held the letter in her hand and was breathing heavily.

Ace and Princess Eugenia sat up involuntarily and looked at her intently.

The old Duchess Black looked at Ace and Princess Eugenia with pity.After a long period of peace, this continent will once again usher in a bloodbath, swords and swords.She is doomed to be mediocre, but the two young men in prime of life in front of her have to experience blood and fire that she has never experienced. They will go through hardships and never annihilate everyone.

But whether they will be like shooting stars after a short period of brilliance, or they will still shine brightly in the long river of history, she can't imagine, and maybe she can't see it.

The old Duchess Black breathed calmly, and her usual soft voice became solemn and serious.Ace opened his eyes wide subconsciously, and Princess Eugenia couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands.

"On His Majesty's birthday, Princess Fenfur gave Her Majesty and Prince Bartholomew the enchanting wine. His Majesty was poisoned and fell into a coma. Prince Bartholomew died. Princess Fenfur disappeared in the chaos. Princess Muse acts as the regent princess temporarily. , has declared war on the Pansy Empire."

Ace's first reaction was, "That's impossible."

The old Duchess Black didn't notice Ace's strangeness, she shook her head sadly, "This was a premeditated action, we were deceived. Her guardian knight Jonah, who disappeared at the same time as Princess Fenfur, The Pansy Empire has been plotting for a long time. Hundreds of nobles were present on His Majesty's birthday, and the evidence is solid!"

The development of the matter was completely beyond Ace's expectations. He subconsciously grasped one important point, "But where did Princess Fenfur get the enchanting wine? All her dowry was lost in the World of Warcraft Forest."

Charming wine does come from the royal family of the Pansy Empire.

This is the favorite story of bards, and even in the Finger Empire, few people have not heard it.The founding majesty of the Pansy Empire, Alexander I, was poisoned by the enchanting wine handed over by the queen.The queen of Alexander I was called the Queen of Charm by history books, saying that she could charm people's hearts, which is also the origin of the name of Charm Wine.

However, Fenfur's later dowry was temporarily bought by Ace and Nou in the imperial capital of the Finger Empire. At that time, Fenfur really had nothing but a skirt when she left the Warcraft Forest.Moreover, Fenfur's affection for Prince Bartholomew is not fake, and she is definitely not such a scheming person who can assassinate His Majesty the Finger Empire in front of hundreds of people.

"I didn't mention this in the letter, but I heard a long time ago that Meixiang wine is made of flowers, and it may have been developed by Princess Fenfur after she arrived in the palace." The old Duchess Black suddenly said firmly: "No, she Not our princess anymore."

Ace didn't speak to the old Duchess Black again.

No matter what, Ace feels that this matter is full of doubts. Even if it is not for the safety of Fenfur, in order to prevent the war that is in front of him as much as possible, he will now go to the imperial capital of the Finger Empire.

Ace told the old Duchess Black of his thoughts, and the old Duchess Black naturally had no reason to object. Now is the time for the empire to employ people, and it is also the best time for a man to make contributions.

But what Ace didn't expect was that Princess Eugenia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I'll go with you."

Ace looked at her, and Princess Eugenia's green eyes were undeniably firm.And it was not only Ace who heard her statement, but also the old Duchess Black.

The old Duchess Black begged: "Eugenia." Why do you have to go to the imperial capital?

The old Duchess Black tries to keep the last of her family.But Princess Eugenia just walked up to her and hugged her, "Mother, I will be back."
