Auston and I were stopped by the crown prince who arrived later in front of the Rose Palace.He wears a rain-proof cloak, platinum-blond hair and golden eyes that shine even on rainy nights.

"What are you doing, Ansair?" He said calmly, "Are you scared?"

I looked at him silently, and looked away: "...I want to go back and report to His Majesty."

"I don't need you." The crown prince covered my head with the cloak to block the raindrops falling on me. Now he was drenched by the rain, and his eyes looked at the chaotic scene through the heavy rain. Gaota, the voice was very weak, "He has passed out, you will live in the Rose Palace tonight. Go back tomorrow."

"Auston." He looked behind me, walked over and put his hand on his shoulder, and whispered something in his ear, Auston's eyes trembled.After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to me again, and ordered the guards who followed him to lead me to the arranged room.

"Your Excellency, this is your room." The guard said respectfully, "If you need anything, you can come out and call me."

I nodded and closed the door.The room is very spacious. Hot water for bathing has been placed beside the big dark green bed. In addition, there are new clothes on the bed. I thought it was the crown prince's own clothes, but after bathing the bed, the size changed. It fits just right.

The heavy heart made me unable to sleep. I walked to the window and looked out of the window silently.The rain outside had subsided, and fine rain fell on the bushes. After a while, there was the sound of stones being slapped on the leaves. I was stunned and looked at the sky, only to find that it was hail.If there is no accident, there will be thick snow outside the next day... No, that is snow, and the empire can only lay a shallow layer on it.

When can I go back to snow?I put my hand against the window, and the cold feeling made me withdraw my hand. I took a last look outside and drew the curtain to go back to rest.

A white shadow quickly passed by the window, and I opened the curtain again, but I couldn't see anything.

I smiled wryly, wondering if it was because of what happened tonight that I became a little sensitive.

"It's probably just another bolt of lightning."

On the second day, I got fully dressed and walked out of the room. The ground was covered with a layer of shallow ice and snow. I walked out of the corridor and bent down to touch the snow. Water droplets turned into red fingertips.I straightened up and looked at the tall tower in the distance. Under the cover of ice and snow, it was no different from the surrounding area, and the blood seeping underground was completely invisible.

The sound of stepping on the snow sounded from the other side, I turned my head, and Oston was crossing from the opposite side, Xue Yin was beside him, and when I noticed it, he flew towards me quickly.

"Gulu Gulu Gulu." Xue Yin said a series of words in a hurry, but it sounded like a language of another country to my ears, and I couldn't understand what it was saying at all.Probably understood my expression, it flew towards Auston again, and came to me with Auston.

"Good morning." I greeted him.

"Good morning." Alston looked at my hand and frowned slightly, "Is it too cold?"

I explained the reason to him, looked at the impatient Xue Yin, and asked curiously: "Does it have something to say to me?"

Auston's eyes fell on Xue Yin, and after a while, he lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about what to say to me.Xue Yin flew in front of me again, and screamed a few times.

"It was in your--" a small scream interrupted his narration, the voice was not far away, just behind the room where he lived last night.Afraid of another accident, I walked over quickly, and there was a bent maid outside the window, she covered her mouth with her hands, and was looking at the little dragon piled up with snow on the bushes.

My footsteps stopped, Oston followed in, and Xue Yin also flew in front of me. It pointed out the window with its wings, and the whole dragon exuded an aura of asking for credit.

"It built a snowman outside your window." Alston finally finished speaking, Xue Yin looked very excited and threw herself into my arms.It said a lot of words to De Amo. This familiar word is matched with the current scene, and I can vaguely guess its true meaning.

"...Is it saying that it likes it?" I looked at Alston and asked tentatively.

Alston looked at me fixedly, just when I thought he would not respond, he nodded and said, "It's asking if you like it? If you want to answer it, you can say the same, It will understand."

I looked at the little dragon in my arms again, kissed it lightly on the forehead, and said with a smile, "Let De Amo."

No matter how bad things happen, it is still very beautiful to get a wholehearted like at this moment.

"Ansair." Alston's voice was low, and I turned around to see him covering his forehead with his hands.Watching his movements, intense heat climbed up my face, and at this moment I finally remembered what Xue Yin had said to me.

Orston could feel the kiss, too.

I stood in the main hall, the turbulent enthusiasm on my face finally subsided a little.

Auston stood beside the crown prince, talking with the crown prince with his head tilted all the time. Without his intense gaze, my beating heart slowly calmed down, and I lowered my eyes to look at the ground.

The emperor was supported by his attendants to sit on the throne, and he tapped the ground again with the scepter in his hand, but this time the sound was much quieter, obviously without much strength.A faint sense of sadness welled up in my heart, and the emaciated face of the emperor broke into my mind again last night.

The sun hanging over the empire is about to end.

The emperor coughed lightly, and reluctantly said: "Aldrich, tell me what happened last night."

The crown prince took a step forward and said calmly: "Last night there was an accident in the tower prison, the poisonous concubine and the third prince fell down the tower together, the third prince died on the spot, but the poisonous concubine survived because of holding the third prince down. "

Everyone was in an uproar and asked about the details.

"Please calm down," the crown prince sighed, with a sad expression on his face, "I think the poisonous concubine used her identity as the mother of the third prince to force the third prince to release her, and after she was rejected, she took the third prince to release her." The prince jumped off the tower together."

The crown prince lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was really heartbroken, but the third prince and the poisonous concubine did not jump down from the floor where she was imprisoned, but from the top of the tower.The poisonous concubine obviously had the chance to go out, so why did she have to drag the third prince to commit suicide?

Thinking of the third prince's deteriorating complexion and spirit in the past few days... My heart skipped a beat, and I vaguely understood what was going on.It wasn't that the poisonous concubine dragged the third prince to commit suicide, the fact was just the opposite.

Duke Garcia groaned and asked, "What are the guards under the tower prison doing? Why did the third prince go in?"

The Duke of Adelaide who was beside me answered this question: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince is only going to visit his mother. Presumably His Highness will not stop him." Most of the people agreed with his words, and the Crown Prince's expression became even more remorseful. , but I looked at him as if I were looking at a puppet covered in layers of shells.

He is really good at using people. The letter incident that he used to the end last time was obviously the culprit, but he was able to portray himself as a person who stayed out of the matter, and even drew the Cook family even deeper.

Besides, when I got there, I saw no guards except Auston and the two fallen men.Would the crown prince make such a low-level mistake?I couldn't think about it any further, I lowered my eyes, I was afraid that when I recalled carefully, I could see the smiling face of the crown prince in the corner, even closer, he might also be standing on the top of the tower, looking at the The two fell, and then came out of the shadows, sending a smile to all those who looked at him through the window, and then a tearful and sad expression.

Just imagining such a picture makes me shudder.

People in the hall were talking to each other, I could even see the lowly baron taking out his handkerchief and starting to wipe away his tears. My gaze passed over to the Marquis of Field a little ahead, but there was no false sadness on his face, he frowned , gritted his teeth, as if annoyed.

Maybe someone was staring at him, and his gaze was looking this way, but I retracted my gaze in time, without letting him see it.

The emperor knocked on the ground with his scepter again, interrupting his communication, he cleared his throat: "Hilary has already—"

"No-no-" A sharp female voice came from outside the hall, like thunder exploding on a rainy day.

His words were interrupted abruptly, and a drenched figure ran in, her beautiful finery was firmly attached to her body, and the rain made her thick black hair tightly attached to her body On the head, on the cheeks are winding hair.The beautiful imperial concubine looked crazy at the moment, and she rushed straight at the emperor, startling everyone.

I was the first to react, and stepped forward to clamp her down. Her arms still had the rain from last night, and the touch felt like two snakes just crawled out of the gutter.Alston came over right away, grabbed her for me, and was about to take her out.

The poisonous concubine's eyes were fixed on the emperor, her tone was high and low, she seemed more delirious: "Your Majesty—I, I have something to tell you!"

The emperor seemed to want to say something, he tapped the ground lightly, but the voice was too low, and the crown prince who was closest to him didn't seem to hear it, so he still said coldly: "Drag her out."

"Aldrich! You are scared!" The poisonous concubine laughed, her voice gradually became sad, she began to sob in a low voice, and when she was about to be pulled out of the palace, she suddenly shook her head and was Her wet hair hit her eyes unexpectedly, I involuntarily withdrew my hands and lowered my head to cover my eyes.

Auston supported me, and he whispered: "It's all right."

I shook my head, barely opened my eyes, trying to catch the poisonous concubine.

But the poisonous concubine who had lost her restraint had already run far away. She quickly ran to the emperor's seat, waving her hands as if she was singing a song.

"I want to report on the queen, she has an affair with the Duke of Campbell!"
