Warlord: King of All Clans

The southern border, the imperial capital, the largest city of the human race.

The griffin's huge wings flapped suddenly, stirring up a strong wind, and then it glided hundreds of meters in the air, passing over the sky above the inner city.

Its flight trajectory formed an elegant arc, and it finally landed outside the griffin's nest in the mountain behind the palace.

The magnificent Imperial Palace is located at the highest point of the imperial capital. From the observation deck of the Royal Garden, one can overlook almost the entire imperial capital.

At the highest point of the Royal Garden is the griffin's nest where the griffins are housed.

A nest of griffins has long lived here. At the peak of history, there were as many as a thousand griffins living here, which was more than the number in the griffin training ground in the southern province of Orlantiri.

But now, there are only about thirty native griffins left here.

Ever since Emperor Alexander I issued an edict three hundred years ago that griffins were no longer allowed to hunt civilians and livestock, the griffins domesticated in the Royal Griffin Nest have become weaker than the previous generation.

Today, almost all of the Griffin Knights' griffin war beasts come from the Griffin training ground in the Orantiri province.

The griffin nest in the palace became a griffin settlement, and the griffins native to the area became pack horses, flying messengers, and even royal ornamental animals.

The griffin rider jumped off his mount and handed the tired griffin to the royal trainer beside him.

When the hood was lifted, Noreen's dusty face was revealed.

Hidden inside her light steel armor were two letters and a small piece of clothing.

One letter was from Leo to Denise, and the other was from Leo to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The small clothes were short-sleeved tops sewn by Olivia herself, so that Her Royal Highness the Princess would not dirty her luxurious princess dress when doing housework in the palace.

Although Olivia's tailoring skills were not bad in Hewan, according to the eyes of the upper-class nobles in the imperial capital, the fabric and workmanship of this short coat were extremely rough, the kind that even the lowest-level maids would not dare to wear out of shame.

But Knight Norin thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess would definitely like to wear it.

It took her nearly half a month to finally get back to the imperial capital. The long-distance flight back and forth for nearly a month was so long that even the powerful griffin could not bear it.

Because of her status as the captain of the princess's personal guard, Norin had no obstruction in walking all the way to the princess's bedroom.

But she paused slightly in front of the door of Her Royal Highness the Princess' bedroom.

The desperate look in Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes flashed through her mind again.

A normal person, even a low-level transcendent, wearing armor and falling from a height of hundreds of meters into a valley, would almost be smashed to pieces even if he landed in a pool of water.

But Leo didn't die. Not only that, when we saw him next time, he was alive and kicking and running off to fight again.

Are all the people in the North so tough?

The blood of both the north and south, the heir to the empire, Princess Gulveig, also has the blood of the northern barbarians.

Because he survived a disaster and behaved unusually, his reputation has spread widely among the people.

Gulveig, the immortal witch!

In addition to misjudging Leo's life or death, Noreen had done something even more guilty that she didn't dare tell Leo and Her Royal Highness the Princess.

The number and elite level of the assassins who came from Hewan Territory to kill the princess are not something that ordinary forces can possess.

And just as Noreen left, the assassin arrived.

If it weren't for the strong will of the Rose Knight and the mid-level extraordinary, even she herself began to doubt herself and wondered if she was the traitor.

Including on the way back later, the high-level assassin was always able to track the griffin's whereabouts, which made her even more suspicious.

After sending the princess back to the palace, Norin immediately went to the Grand Mage Tower in the Imperial Capital to beg for help from the Holy Mage Francis.

Under the detection spell of the Holy Mage, Norin's guess was indeed confirmed.

An extremely secret dark magic mark was planted on her body.

Even the high-level detection array at the entrance and exit of the palace could not detect the dark magic mark!

Under her organization, the other six former members of the Order of the Rose who were responsible for finding the whereabouts of the princess all had magical marks on their bodies.

In "The Adventures of Firefly", Dany, an adventurer with extremely rich adventure experience, once said to the wandering swordsman Odin: There are too many crooked ways in this world, which are hard to guard against and people can fall into the trap inadvertently.

In other words, whoever found the princess in the past two years would have brought news to the assassins of the hostile forces and would have brought new disaster to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Unfortunately, that person is her.

Fortunately, Her Royal Highness has an adoptive father who is willing to die for her.

He was a true knight - although not gentle.

After reporting the matter to the emperor, the ruler of the empire, Charles VII, did not punish her.

Instead, he canonized her, the daughter of a court earl with no right of inheritance, as the new Viscount of the South.

She was promoted to deputy commander of the Order of the Rose, responsible for reorganizing the Order of the Rose, and served as the captain of the personal guard of the princess' bedroom, closely protecting the princess' safety.

The whole imperial capital was singing the praises of her achievements, but only she herself knew that what she had gained far exceeded her efforts.

Then, for Leo, protect the princess well!

Noreen paused for a moment before opening the bedroom door.

The princess of the empire, the little mouse of the river bay, still hides under the bed and counts money day after day.

The four personal maids and four Rose Knights all stood in the corner, pretending not to notice the princess's unusual behavior.

The princess secretly sold all the decorations, utensils and jewellery in her bedroom, leaving her home almost penniless and with only money left.

In order to satisfy his daughter's little hobby, Charles VII specially formed a purchasing team, which was responsible for purchasing his property from the princess at a reasonable price in a way that would not arouse the princess' suspicion.

Knight Norin walked over, knelt beside the bed, bent down, and looked at Princess Gulveig under the bed, "Your Highness, Mr. Leo Mondo is still alive!"

The little mouse who was hiding under the bed and counting gold coins was stunned when he heard this, and the gold coins in his hand fell to the ground.

She looked at Noreen in disbelief, and after she repeated it twice, she screamed, raised her head suddenly, and slammed her little head heavily on the bed.

Noreen reached out a hand and dragged the little mouse out from under the bed, hugging her and stroking the top of her head to soothe her pain.

Feeling the Princess's thin body trembling with excitement, Noreen's eyes were filled with tears.

The only drawback was that the damned Leo Mondo was too homesick and refused to come with her to the capital.

But at least the ending is happy!

The little mouse, who received the good news, regained his vitality, like a dying flower that suddenly blooms again.

She stood there blankly for a moment with the big bump on her head, and suddenly ran to the swordmaster Algernon's dojo, "Master Algernon, please teach me swordsmanship!"
