Skeleton King

Ace is not in a good mood, and so is Princess Bernadette. Anyone who has an unexpected visitor at home will be greatly troubled.Lady Claudia was such an unexpected visitor.

Mrs. Claudia brought a gift from the Pansy Palace to Nou, saying that Prince Xiben asked her to pass it on without sending the greeting card in advance.It just so happened that Noel was going to Rose Castle, and Princess Bernadette left her behind, "Sir Claudia, would you like to stay for dinner?"

Sir Madam Claudia sat down at their long dinner table in a dignified manner.Princess Bernadette was so angry that she couldn't really drive her away, "My God. She looks more like the mistress of the Duke's mansion than me."

For some reason, Ace felt that Princess Bernadette was looking at him, as if he should also fight against the enemy.

Ace and Princess Bernadette took their seats in turn. After tasting the pre-dinner wine, the waiter quickly brought out today's main course, the third-level Steppenwolf from the Warcraft Forest.

Princess Bernadette smiled and said: "Sir Claudia, you can taste it. This Steppenwolf was just taken out of the ice cellar. I hunted it from the Warcraft Forest earlier, and it was the staple food of the castle during that time." But they are all my spoils. As a result, this year’s social season started earlier than in previous years. Before we finished eating, we came to the imperial capital, and my brother specially ordered someone to bring them. After all, you can’t eat such a strong meal in the imperial capital. Warcraft meat."

Princess Bernadette wanted to get through the dinner as soon as possible, as long as she talked about common topics that could not go wrong.

Too many unfortunate things have happened in the eastern plains of the Louisiana province these days, except for the day when she just learned the news of David Richter's death, she has no extra energy to feel sad for David Richter .But Princess Bernadette had heard from Noel before that Ace had a good relationship with David Richter. Regarding this news, Ace should be much sadder than her.

From Princess Bernadette's point of view, Ace is already a member of their duke's mansion, and taking care of her family is a matter of course.After Sir Claudia attended their dinner uninterestedly, she regretted that she had kept polite with Sir Claudia just now.

And soon, she became even more regretful.

Sir Claudia said: "I really envy Bernadette, who has a good brother like Duke Green."

Princess Bernadette was vigorously slicing the roasted wolf leg meat, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, as if she was slicing some annoying person, but she complimented, "The silver sword master was famous in the mainland 20 years ago. , my brother and I grew up listening to the name of the Silver Sword Master. When my father was still alive, he also taught my brother to learn from the Silver Sword Master. Mrs. Sir Claudia is also very enviable."

Sir Claudia said indifferently: "Not every brother in the Kericht family is so outstanding."

Princess Bernadette was slightly startled, and she was also a little annoyed.The Green family and the Richter family have always been on good terms, and they are not good at interfering in the internal affairs of the Richter family, but it does not mean that Mrs. Claudia can say these things openly at this time and in this place. Too much.

Ace didn't show any anger, he even said bluntly, "Is Mrs. Claudia talking about David Richter?"

Sir Claudia sideways took some salad from the plate held by the waiter, then looked up at Ace and Princess Bernadette, and said, "Yes. Can you imagine what my brother looked like when he was a child? The most famous weapon of the Hitt family is the long spear. Our family even has an inherited long spear, which was originally given to the elder brother by his father. When the elder brother Heinrich left the family to go to the World of Warcraft Forest, he deliberately kept the long spear.

Thinking about it now, Big Brother might as well take it away.

After David was born, his father wanted to pass it on to David.When David was young, his father let David hold a long gun several times, and every time he was frightened by the tip of the long gun and cried.This is the future patriarch of the Richter family.Gluttonous, cowardly, timid.If he hadn't inherited the family's silver hair and silver eyes, sometimes I would worry that my father had the wrong child in his arms. "

Ace's emerald green eyes are like the sea of ​​trees in the forest of monsters, and like the deep pools in the valley, it is impossible to see through.He looked directly at Mrs. Claudia, "I didn't expect Mrs. Claudia to be so worried about the family. You should be very happy when David Richter broke through level 4 last year. He was a coward when he was young , and now he has grown into a real man."

When the others heard Sir Madam Claudia's words, they responded to her, and lamented that it was fortunate that the Richter family was not destroyed by David Richter.These days, no one would refute her openly.Mrs. Claudia could not understand Ace's position. She asked: Ace scholar, do you know what the foundation of the Richter family is? "

Ace smiled at her with great interest, and said, "All ears."

Mrs. Claudia said: "The Richter family's fief and the Green family belong to the same province of Louisiana. Unlike other provinces, it is a plain. The Richter family has been firmly stationed in the Louisiana province to this day. , because of the wise patriarchs of the family, the invincible Richter Knights, and successive strongmen. Ace scholars may not know that my nephew Sykes will return to the imperial capital soon. He is He came back with the strength of a holy rank."

Mrs. Claudia is indeed proud. In the entire Pansy Empire, apart from Prince Xiben, only the Richter family has two sword masters.Moreover, these two sword masters are not only loyal to the Richter family, they have silver hair and silver eyes, and they are from the main branch of the Richter family.As long as they are still alive, the Richter family cannot be destroyed.

Ace asked curiously: "Is Sir Madam Claudia so sure that Sykes Richter will help the Richter family wipe out all enemies instead of cleaning up the family's traitors?"

"Father sent a letter to my elder brother before asking Prince Xiben for me." If the Silver Sword Master disagreed, there would be no Mrs. Claudia today.

Sykes would naturally not object to his father's decision.

Mrs. Claudia reminded Ace, "Scholar Ace can pass the exam in the Millais library at this age. Have you read a lot of history books? In fact, the birth of a king is not as difficult as we imagined. Being an old king When he dies, a new king will be born. The empire cannot be without a master, and so is the family. The person who survives to the end is the master of the family. In order to maximize the interests of the family, some trivial matters will not be recorded.

Not in people's memory, not in family history. "

Ace smiled at Mrs. Claudia, "Perhaps Sykes Richter wouldn't mind these unrecorded little things, but does Mrs. Claudia think he can be your talisman?"

Sir Claudia felt a little displeased with Ace's words, but she still maintained her demeanor, "I think so."

Ace handed the wine glass to Mrs. Claudia, and said, "Let us wait and see."

Sir Claudia also picked up the wine glass, paid tribute to Ace, and said, "We'll wait and see."

Princess Bernadette clenched the knife and fork in her hand. The intuition of small animals gave her an extremely bad premonition. She couldn't tell what it was, but she seemed to smell blood.

She hurriedly changed the topic, and even quietly asked the old housekeeper to skip two desserts, hoping that today's dinner would be over early.

It would be very rude to ask the guests to leave just after the meal was over, but Miss Bernadette no longer wanted to flirt with Sir Claudia, "I'm sorry, Sir Claudia, I feel a little tired."

Although there is still Ace in the Duke Green's mansion at this time, and Ace is a scholar, but he is a young man after all, and it is not appropriate to receive Sir Claudia alone.

But Mrs. Claudia seems to be very interested today, "I heard that there are some very rare books in the Duke Green's mansion. Can I borrow two books, and wait for the Duke Green by the way. Prince Xiben still has something to ask me to bring him the Duke Green .”

Princess Bernadette said: "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Claudia. My brother may be coming back late tonight. If you have any books you want to borrow, you can tell the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper will find them out. Someone will send it to you tomorrow."

Mrs. Claudia was about to say something, but Princess Bernadette interrupted her, "There have been too many things happening in the family recently, and the Duke of Green's mansion doesn't really welcome visitors." Then she turned and hurried to the building.

The old butler Richter led Sir Claudia away from the Duke Green's mansion.

Ace went upstairs to find Princess Bernadette. She was standing by the window angrily watching Sir Claudia leave the Duke Green Mansion. Seeing Ace coming up, she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ace , I shouldn't have kept her for dinner."

Ace comforted, "It's not your fault."

Princess Bernadette felt a little uneasy in her heart. She wished that Noel was in the Duke's mansion at this time, so that she would not have to worry about anything.At the dinner table just now, what Sir Madam Claudia said was different from her blatant admission that she had killed her own brother David Richter.

But as Mrs. Claudia said, David Richter has been in the training camp of the Georgia Knights all these years, and he has not accumulated enough force in his hands. He is willing to die for him and assassinate Claudia Mrs. Ya's.

The old Earl Richter was confused again, he was confused by her rhetoric, or he knew it in his heart, but he wrote to the Silver Juggernaut, but the Silver Juggernaut had no intention of returning to the family, so he punished Sir Claudia Madam, it will only make him lose the last relative by his side.

For Prince Siben, David Richter, who is full of variables, and Sir Claudia, who has sworn allegiance to him, let alone David Richter is dead, even if he is still alive, Prince Siben Only standing behind Sir Claudia.

Is it necessary to watch Lady Claudia get away with it?

But what can they do?thought Princess Bernadette.

Princess Bernadette was worried that Ace would be frustrated by this, so she changed the subject far-fetchedly, "Sir Claudia wants to see my brother so much, I doubt that she wants to be my brother's lover. In Louisiana Province She used to come to Green Castle frequently.

She probably felt that since she became the heir of the Richter family, my brother had no reason to reject her anymore.But she underestimated the Green family too much, my father and my grandfather are very dedicated, and my brother will be like them..."

Princess Bernadette talked to herself for a long time before she realized that she hadn't heard Ace's reply.

She looked up and saw Ace looking out the window at the end of the road, as if he didn't hear her at all.

There was a night wind blowing, and although it was early summer, Princess Bernadette still shivered.For a moment, she felt that Ace was like a lich from the dead world, with a little gloomy, but she put that illusion behind her in the blink of an eye.

"Go back to sleep." Ace turned and left, heading for his bedroom.

"Yes." Princess Bernadette also nodded, not thinking about it anymore.

Sir Claudia is so annoying.She planned to ask Nuoou if their family could stop cooperating with the Richter family.

Ace returned to the room and sat on the bed until midnight.

No magic lamp was lit, and the room was too dark to see.

He took the Bone Staff out of the space bracer and stroked it slowly.

Prince Xiben must have suspected his pansy blood, but it doesn't matter.Even if they are full of people outside the Duke Green's mansion, they can't block the passage of the dead world.

The sky is darkest just before dawn.

Ace got off the bed, and took a step forward when the entire Duke Green mansion fell into a deep sleep.A dark door appeared in front of him, which was the door to the dead world.

In an instant, countless magical elements of dark attributes leaked from the gate of the dead world.

This is why Ace does not allow Bill and General Arnold to come back to the world, because they have no way to dissipate these dark magic elements, but Ace can.

Unless someone stood by his side and watched him perform undead magic, no one would know his identity as an undead mage after he practiced the water magic of the light attribute.

Ace thought of what Nou had advised him before, "The justice you want to uphold is not justice for the old Earl Richter."

Maybe that's right, he thought.

Old Count Richter didn't want to, and Lady Claudia didn't want him to preside over this justice, but they couldn't represent David Richter's thoughts.Was David Richter willing to be his sister's stepping stone?

No, not David Richter.Otherwise he would not have paid the price with his life.He also doesn't have to work hard to attend the Georgia Knights' training camp again.Birth pushed him to this position, and if he doesn't move forward, his life is a failure.

Ace still remembers David Richter's wish to this day, "I am the man who will become the Juggernaut!"

Their justice, not David Richter's justice.

Slowly but firmly, Ace stepped into the gate to the dead.

The moment the gate of the dead world disappeared, the doorknob of Ace's bedroom was slowly pressed from the outside.
