Skeleton King

Nou stayed in the room for 2 days, no one knew what he did, or even if he was really in the Duke Green mansion.Ace often does the golden cicada's shelling, but he has never found it so annoying.

Ace could have used the eyes of the undead to see if Nou was in the duke's mansion, but since Prince Xiben already suspected him, Ace would not use undead magic unless he had to.

Ace wanted to go directly to Noou, but was blocked at the door by the housekeeper of the Duke Green's mansion. He was a seasoned old man. Ace respected him very much and didn't want to make him unhappy.

The old butler told Ace: "The Duke is dealing with things on the eastern plains of the Louisiana province. There are too many things. The Duke has not closed his eyes for a long time. Master Ace, if you have anything to ask the Duke, I can help you first." Tell me."

"It won't take much time, I just want to say a few words to Nou." Ace felt that he was like a little noble who came to the gate of the Duke Green's mansion every day and hoped Nou would help him, or a wealthy businessman with some connections , which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The old butler stopped Ace, "Master Ace please wait patiently."

Ace looked at the old butler, and was about to bypass the old butler and go directly to Noou.Suddenly, he noticed that the old butler was also wearing black clothes today, and his face looked older than a few days ago.The butler of the Duke Green's Mansion pays great attention to appearance. Is there something he doesn't know about the Duke Mansion?Ace asked concerned, "What happened?"

The old butler said: "Back to Master Ace, my youngest son, he is the owner of a small farm in the eastern plains of Louisiana Province. He went out to milk the cows in the morning and met the Skeleton Knights. He, and Dozens of cows are gone."

The old butler's words were flat, but Ace could feel the sadness hidden deep inside.

Ace couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment, "When did the news come?"

The old housekeeper said: "Last night, all the letters from the province of Louisiana arrived. The rest of the family in the Duke's mansion is still safe, but the livestock and crops on the grassland have nothing left. Fortunately, it is early summer, and the people in the eastern plains People are better off than other places, whether they buy food or go to the World of Warcraft Forest to dig some bark, they can survive."

After the old butler finished speaking, he turned and left.There is no one blocking the room between Ace and Nuo Ou, but now he doesn't want to go to Nuo Ou.

……

afternoon.Ace was playing chess with Princess Bernadette in the living room, and saw Nou passing in front of the living room. "Nou." Ace walked quickly to Nou's side and called him.

Nou turned his head in doubt and looked at Ace.His eyes were a deeper blue than usual, deeper than the sea.

Ace asked him, "Where are you going?"

When Nou heard Ace's question, he didn't look at him anymore, but lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, "I'm going to Rose Castle, the last banquet of this year's social season, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs is also there, I have to meet him. "

Ace breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Noou was not going to the palace. He said, "I'll ask the old butler to prepare hangover tea for you at night. I have something to tell you."

Nou looked up at Ace, stared blankly, before Ace noticed something was wrong, he said, "Okay."

Ace watched Noou walk through the long corridor and leave Duke Green's mansion.He noticed that Nuoou was still wearing the Dragon King's dagger on his waist.The Dragon King's dagger can ignore all magic defenses and is indestructible.Seeing that Nou was carrying it, Ace felt relieved.

……

The outskirts of the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire.Rose Castle.

"Are you okay?" Red Rose Marina Homer put a glass of red fruit wine in front of Nuoou.This kind of fruit wine tastes sweet and is loved by noble ladies. Usually, Marina Homer would not entertain guests with it, but now they are in the back garden of Rose Castle, which is not liked by noble gentlemen. sake.

When Marina Homer first saw Nou at the banquet, she thought he was looking for the Foreign Secretary.The Minister of Foreign Affairs was originally sent to the Principe Mountains by Prince Xiben. Later, he heard that something happened in the eastern plains of the Louisiana Province. On the way back, he went to the fiefdoms of the Green Family and the Richter Family. More comprehensive messages than Messenger.

Keno Ou came to Rose Castle to find Princess Mary.

Marina Homer naturally didn't want Noah to see Princess Mary. Since she returned to the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire, Princess Mary has become reclusive and has not even talked to anyone alone.

Marina Homer invited Noel to sit in the back garden of Rose Castle.

Few people can refuse Marina Homer. She has a complex and charming temperament. She looks like her dead father, Earl Homer. Although the lines of her face are rougher than girls, her bright red eyes The eyes are particularly touching.When she laughed, she looked like Princess Mary again, with blurred eyes and lazy smile, no one could easily walk into her heart.

No matter how high-end the banquet is, whether it is in the Rose Castle or the Pansy Palace, she regards the dress code as nothing and often wears knight clothes, but her gorgeous facial features and exquisite figure can still easily attract everyone gaze.envious, greedy...

Marina Homer never thought of using her beauty for anything, but she never underestimated its value, for example, few men could refuse her an invitation.

But now it seems that Duke Green is not so happy.

Marina Homer looked at Nou's obviously tired expression. She sat on the stone bench beside the round table in the back garden, quietly tasting the fruit wine.She is also a good listener when necessary.

It's a pity that Noel still doesn't want to talk to her, "Lord Homer, I want to see Princess Mary. I have something to ask her."

The smile on the corner of Marina Homer's mouth disappeared, and she said, "Nuoou, didn't I tell you? My mother has contracted a cold and has no strength to see people recently."

Jiu Nuoou on the table didn't move at all. He respected the lady as much as possible and didn't show his sarcasm. He felt that Princess Mary's wind chill was probably infected by His Majesty Ludwig IV, because they taught their children All lack some wisdom.

Marina Homer smiled at Nou, she looked like a red rose in the garden when she smiled, beautiful and thorny, "Nou, I heard that Cousin Xiben took the power from Uncle Ross I gave it to you, you should know, everyone in Rose Castle listens to me now, right?

There are some things you can ask me directly.You should know that my father and the old Duke Green are good friends. They once said that they would be married to each other's first child. If my father hadn't left too early, we should be a fiancé couple now, or even married . "

Noou naturally knew the origins of the two families, and he had also heard how Marina Homer was decisive in the northern fief. He said sincerely: "Earl Homer, everyone has something they are good at. Just like we are all good at managing fiefdoms, and we are both patriarchs of the family. For us, marriage is not a good choice. Princess Mary is good at handling the affairs of Rose Castle, but you may not be happy here."

Being rejected bluntly, even Marina Homer couldn't bear it on the face, but the most important thing for her to come to the imperial capital was not her marriage, "But my father's blood feud, do you want me to pretend that it didn't happen?"

She also changed her address, "Duke Green, I know why you came to Rose Castle. You don't need to go to your mother, I can tell you why my father died. That is the best evidence that can solve your doubts.

He's right here, right where we're sitting, watching the future His Majesty Ludwig IV having an affair with the red rose Caroline Attlee and then being assassinated by the newly enthroned His Majesty Ludwig IV died!How could anyone think that I wanted the title of Red Rose!And my mother—the most honorable princess Mary in the empire—she knew it clearly, but for her brother, her best sister, she watched the murderer of her husband go unpunished and was not punished until his death!"

"But it's not Ace's fault." Noel already knew, Marina Homer didn't want to let Ace go, and neither did Prince Xiben.

People from Rose Castle often hang around outside Duke Green’s Mansion these days, and there may be people from Pansy Palace, but the people from Pansy Palace hide more secretly, and even Nou has not found it.But such a secretive action can better reflect the importance that Prince Nishimoto attaches to him. He will not startle the snake, as long as he makes a move, he is absolutely sure that Ace will not escape.

"I gave you a chance." Marina Homer turned her head away and said, "Don't tell me that."

Nuo Ou seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and looked towards the end of the garden. Prince Xiben was wearing a long black gown, with a large pansy pattern embroidered on it with silver thread, and Angelica was standing behind him.

Prince Xiben probably came to Rose Castle to see Angelica, and he happened to meet Nou.

……

"So you already know?" Prince Xiben sat in the living room of Rose Castle, and Nou sat on the chair next to him.Angelica and Marina Homer were sitting on the sofa a little far away. Angelica was embroidering, and she wanted to embroider a handkerchief for Prince Nishimoto.Marina Homer was cleaning the dagger, which glinted brightly in the sun.

Everyone sitting here is focused on what they are doing, and no one knows what everyone else is thinking.

Nuoou looked at Prince Xiben and said calmly, "Yes."

The corners of Prince Xiben's mouth turned up slightly, but he didn't smile at all. He asked, "Then what do you think about this matter?"

"I've known Ace for a long time, and I'm sure he doesn't have the pansy mark on him." Knowing that they had exposed too many flaws before, he said something selectively, "Maybe before we came to the imperial capital, Ace also doesn't know his background, so he will take the scholar's exam."

"Heh." Prince Xiben sneered.

The anger in his eyes seemed to burn the land, this is not an exaggerated metaphor.

He is already a Juggernaut.If he wanted, he could turn the outskirts of the imperial capital into the eastern plains of a second Louisiana province.

Nou sat in front of Prince Xiben, facing his coercion.

If it wasn't for Angelica in the living room, she wouldn't know any martial arts or magic. Prince Xiben was afraid that the leaked coercion would hurt her, and Nuo Ou endured far more than that.

And what angered Prince Xiben the most, "Did you know, Nou? It was me. It was me who personally declared that Ace Neumann had passed the knight's examination and awarded him the knight's badge."

Those who did not pass the assessment of the knight training camp, like Princess Fenfur and David Richter, lost their qualifications to inherit the title.When he was in Port of Nice, Ace scored too many 5 points, and the conditions for passing the Knights' assessment became extremely harsh. It was Prince Nishimoto who made an exception and gave Ace a chance to become a knight in order to win over Nou.

Later, Nou did swear allegiance to him.Ace changed suddenly, but became the illegitimate son of his father.In the Pansy Empire, the one who is less likely to inherit the throne than an illegitimate child is a person without the title of honorary knight, and this title was given to Ace himself!

How could this not make Prince Xiben go crazy with anger!

As a matter of course, Nuoou, an indirect participant in this incident, was also affected by Prince Xiben's anger.

Nou is a level 9 swordsman, but Prince Nishimoto is already a sword master.Those below the holy rank are all ants, not to mention that the identities of the king and vassal make it impossible for Nuoou to resist Prince Xiben.

Nuoou sat on the chair. He was like a boat in a storm. He was always in danger of being blown over by the wind and waves, but he still supported him firmly, and said firmly: "Your Highness, I know Ace, he only likes Studying, traveling, and indulging in pleasure. Ace has even become a scholar, he has no interest in the throne, and has lost the qualification to inherit the throne."

Prince Xiben said again: "Nano Green, do you dare to swear with your life and the honor of the Green family that Ace Neumann has no intention of taking the throne?"
