Skeleton King

Prince Xiben asked casually, and Nou answered simply, "His Royal Highness knows that Bernadette lived in Rose Castle when she was very young, and she is not close to me. I heard that she wanted the title of Red Rose, so I collected it." Some information about Mrs. Caroline, I want her to like it."

Prince Xiben raised his wine glass again with a smile, and said, "Nuoou is really a good brother, but his sister must be obedient and well-behaved to be worthy of favor."

"I owe her a lot." Nuoou shook his head, picked up another wine glass on the table, and clinked glasses with Prince Xiben, "Whatever wish she has, I always try my best to achieve it."

Prince Xiben laughed again, wondering if he thought of Princess Fenfur.

Nuoou and Prince Xiben drank two more glasses before leaving the conference hall.

The wind at night is a bit cool, but also very quiet.Prince Nishimoto didn't like too many attendants outside the meeting hall, in his opinion no one was completely trustworthy.The more people know what they're talking about, the greater the potential for leaks.

After Nuoou left, no one closed the door of the conference hall, and cold wind kept pouring in from the outside.It was already late spring at this time, the temperature was just right, a little wind would only make people feel refreshed, but Prince Nishimoto felt that his hand holding the wine glass was cold.

In the reflection of the red wine, a figure gradually grew bigger, but it was extremely blurred, and her appearance could not be seen clearly.Prince Xiben didn't look back, and said flatly, "You're here."

Marina Homer, although everyone said that she looks like her father, Earl Homer, but at the moment she is standing behind Prince Siben, people have to say that Marina Homer does have the Kooser family of blood.

Look, Marina Homer looks a lot like her cousin, Prince Sibbon.

Prince Xiben turned his head to look at Marina Homer. She was like a red rose on the edge of a cliff, beautiful and thorny, and could easily attract the attention of all men; she was also like a flawless moon, cold and indifferent.

When Prince Xiben saw Marina Homer, his eyes were calm and he was not moved by her beauty. He put the wine glass back on the table and asked, "Have you found what you wanted to check?"

The reason why Marina Homer left the fief and returned to the imperial capital was to find out the cause of her father, Earl Homer's death. "There are only a few clues. My mother doesn't seem to want to cooperate with me very much. A lot of information is at the bottom of the box. I don't know if it's all cleared up." The year of the monkey is the month of the horse.”

Prince Nishimoto had always known the tricks of this cousin, and advised: "After all, Princess Mary is your grandfather's most beloved daughter, and also my aunt."

Marina Homer said: "Yes. Princess Mary is not only the most honorable princess of the Pansy Empire, but also my mother." Even Prince Xiben could not say against his will that Princess Mary is a qualified mother.Although noble wives usually entrust their children to nannies, they are less notorious and dissolute than Princess Mary.

Marina Homer's voice is deadpan, "I'm not going to treat my mother badly, she's a very tough person, though she's pampered. I'm just going to put Jonah Flynn in a dungeon Few people may know that there is a dungeon not inferior to the Imperial Prison under the dreamlike Rose Castle. The expression on my mother's face at that time was even more sad than when I personally locked her in the dungeon."

By the end, Marina Homer's voice was full of sarcasm and a hint of subtle sadness.But Prince Xiben, who was as thoughtful as he was, didn't even hear it.

When Marina Homer said this, Prince Xiben was sure that Princess Mary was fine, and Marina Homer wanted to clean up Princess Mary's favorite male pet, so it was not easy for him to interfere too much.

Marina Homer threw the yellowed parchment on the long table in front of Prince Xiben.Prince Nishimoto opened the parchment, "The record of staying in April 993 in the imperial calendar, what does this mean?"

Twenty years ago was the time when Rose Castle was at its peak, and even though Earl Homer was still there at that time, Princess Mary played much more crazily than now.The Rose Castle held dances day and night, regardless of the people outside the castle fighting in the dark, and everyone was drunk and dreaming, as if they would be the ghosts of the sword in the next moment.There are often people who get drunk and pass out at the banquet. Rose Castle has many guest rooms, and they will be arranged to stay overnight.

Marina Homer's red eyes flickered with a cold light, "In the last month of the Rebellion of Kings, even my grandfather, Prince Andreas, had most of his hair gray, and His Majesty Ludwig IV will have more It doesn’t make sense to spend 1 days in Rose Castle for leisure, right?” The parchment scroll clearly records the record of His Majesty Ludwig IV’s visit to Rose Castle.

Prince Xiben seldom went to the banquet at Rose Castle, and he knew how messy the banquet at Rose Castle was. He looked at the parchment with a smile, "It's like the kid from the Adam family, Baron Adam is about to be exiled by my father because of corruption, He is also passionately in love with Baroness Dana, running with Rose Castle every day..."

The expression on Prince Nishimoto's face became stiff for a moment, and he repeated it again, "Passionate love..."

Marina Homer pointed to the last date when Earl Homer appeared in Rose Castle, "For almost two months, my father did not leave Rose Castle. It happened to be on the third day of His Majesty Ludwig IV's accession to the throne, the imperial capital When he started to settle down, he was assassinated. The Homer family stood behind my grandfather, Prince Andreas, and was one of the few families not directly involved in the chaos of the kings. Cousin Xiben, tell me, he What did you die for?"

Siben Coother looked at Marina Homer fixedly, "Do you suspect that Earl Homer knows something he shouldn't?"

Marina Homer said: "When His Majesty Ludwig IV first came to the throne, it was the time when my grandfather, Prince Andreas, had the highest reputation. Even for the sake of my grandfather's face, my mother should not let my father be unknown. He died in vain." This is also the core of the conflict between Marina Homer and Princess Mary for so many years. She can understand Princess Mary's romanticism, but she cannot tolerate her indifference to her husband's death.

But today, Marina Homer has to admit that Princess Mary is a sensible person.Princess Mary had already guessed who Earl Homer sent someone to assassinate, and even why he died, but she was cold-blooded and indifferent.

Prince Xiben doubted: "Earl Homer met my father and his lover?"

Marina Homer said: "There is no more reasonable guess than that."

Earl Homer, as the husband of Princess Mary, almost all places in Rose Castle are undefended to him, but this does not mean that he knows the secrets of Rose Castle.But so many years have passed, and there is still no news that His Majesty Ludwig IV had a lover in Rose Castle in the imperial capital. It can be seen that this matter was really kept secret by His Majesty Ludwig IV.

Prince Nishimoto asked, "Who is she?"

Marina Homer said indifferently: "I don't know. Mother won't tell. But she must have been a frequent visitor to Rose Castle back then, and even lived in Rose Castle."

"Caroline Attlee." Prince Xiben said slowly.Marina Homer looked at him in shock, although this was also Marina Holden's guess, she didn't know how Prince Xiben knew.

Prince Nishiben had seen His Majesty Ludwig IV countless times standing on the tower of the Pansy Palace and looking to the south. In addition to the lush trees, there were also extremely gorgeous red roses.Queen Celia once wanted to build a palace there, but was directly rejected by Her Majesty Ludwig IV.Prince Xiben originally thought this was a way for his father to rest, but now he understands that His Majesty Ludwig IV is missing his deceased.

Prince Xiben said: "There are records in the palace. After the father ascended the throne and before marrying Queen Celia, Mrs. Caroline lived in the palace for a while. Moreover, Mrs. Caroline's experience in Rose Castle, you also know Didn't find it."

……

It was already late when Nou returned to Duke Green's mansion, and the old butler was still waiting for him at the gate of the mansion with a magic lamp.Nuo Ou took off his coat, handed it to the old housekeeper, and asked, "Where's Ace?"

The old housekeeper hung Noou's coat neatly on the hanger, and said, "Master Ace is in the room. He just brought tea in, and he probably hasn't slept yet. Do you want to call Master Ace out?"

Nuo Ou said again: "No need. Please come to the study to meet me, a scholar from Mellon University."

The old housekeeper wondered: "Scholar Mellon must have fallen asleep at this time."

The Mellon University scholar is distinguished and knowledgeable, but he is an ordinary old man.Mellon University scholars are at this age, although their brains are still flexible, their spirits are definitely not as good as when they were young.

Nuo Ou walked quickly to the study and said, "Now, make a cup of hot tea for Mellon University scholar and invite him to see me."

Nou returned to the study.

Nuo Ou sat behind the desk, opened the drawer, rummaged through it several times, and finally found a few thin parchment rolls in the innermost part, with information on "Caroline Neumann" on them.Nuo Ou read it word by word, and before he could finish it, the Mellon scholar came.

The Mellon scholar sat on a chair with hot tea in his hand and a thin woolen blanket on his knees.He looked at the handsome young man sitting behind the table, thinking of the little carrot head he saw in Green Castle many years ago, and lamented how time flies.

The Mellon University scholar knew that it was definitely not an unimportant matter for Nuoou to find him at this time, "Nuoou, have you encountered any problems?"

Prince Xiben always thought that the Mellon scholars were still in the fiefdom of the Green family.Therefore, Prince Xiben asked Nuoou to invite Mellon University scholars to the imperial capital.

But the fact is that Mellon University scholars have been working as gardeners for the Duke Green's Mansion in the imperial capital these days, and have never left.Even the deepest spy who penetrated the Duke Green's mansion didn't know that the old gardener in the garden was a well-known Mellon scholar.

"I have a problem and I want to ask the teacher." Nuo Ou didn't hesitate, and said directly: "I want to ask the teacher about the Star University."

The Mellon scholar smiled at the teacup.The clear tea in the teacup reflected the white beard of the Mellon scholar.The Mellon scholar said: "I thought you wouldn't ask. Do you want to know who the Star University scholar is?"

Nuo Ou said: "I know who the Star University scholar is. I think the teacher knows too."

After Nou and Ace returned from the port of Nice, the scholars of Mellon University paid more attention to Ace than usual.Nuo Ou originally thought that he was about to inherit the title, and the Mellon scholar was worried that he made friends carelessly.It wasn't until Ace told him about the University of Stars that Nou realized that the University of Mellon already knew about it.

The Mellon scholar gulped down half a bowl of tea and felt a warm current pouring into his stomach. He sighed comfortably and said, "Since you know everything, why don't you ask him, but put my old bone Pulling up from the bed, what are you trying to do?"

"I asked, he was always vague, I don't want to go around with him anymore." Nuo Ou asked: "I want to know how a scholar becomes a great scholar? And how does he become a titled great scholar?"

The Mellon University scholar said: "The former is related to the history of the Millais Library. Now few people know it, so it has become a secret. As for the latter, I have some guesses, but I am not sure."

"Nuoou, I told you because it was you." Mellon University scholar looked at Nuoou and smiled, his long beard also raised up, "Star University scholar may be too shy to Hesitant to tell. But I don't think you'll mind."

Nuo Ou felt his heart beating fast, and he asked, "What is it?"
