It was not the first time I had been to the Prince James Mansion, and I had only glanced past the large drawing room on the second floor of the castle once in a while.Most of the time, the windows around the parlor are tightly covered with scarlet velvet curtains, and the ornate crystal chandeliers are rarely lit up, except for the big celebrations at Lakeside Manor, but it is rarely the home of the ball, and the guests usually dance on the dance floor in the lobby on the first floor.Prince James liked to invite guests into his study, where he could have a cup of tea or a casual conversation with him in the study with a strong smell of tobacco, and when I sat in the study and chatted with James, I had the illusion that James was not the commander of the million-strong army of the Grimm Empire, but a scholar in some higher academy, and there was something very special about him, gentle and subtle.Ying Li and I walked up the red-carpeted staircase to find that the living room on the second floor of the castle was brightly lit and the golden hall was full of guests.Prince James and Lady Manda sat in the gold-backed chairs of the main seat on the high platform of the hall.Two delicate chairs with gold ornaments on the high platform that symbolize power, and the relief on the back of one of the chairs is a spectacular scene of the capture of the Majaro Pass by the Angibald and the Northlanders at the beginning of the founding of the Grimm Capital.The relief on the other chair depicts the Grimm Empire's United Legion and the Elven Templars defeating the Archdemons of Hell at the edge of the Eternal Night Forest.Prince James spoke calmly to the Naga ambassador, I didn't know much of Cana, I could only understand a few simple greetings, so I didn't know what James was talking to the ambassador of Jahna at the moment.Lady Manda sat beside Prince James with a blank face, and seemed particularly quiet.Princess Ledie stood behind Lady Manda, dressed in knightly armor, her delicate face staring coldly at the group of Cana people in the audience.The Cana ambassador was tall and slightly fat, sitting at the bottom of the pedestal, closest to James, his whole body like a giant walrus, surrounded by a tricolor halo, and the whole hall resonated with him as he spoke.The cyan scales on his body had slowly turned red, and he was covered in a layer of armor, and his bulky body crunched the seat.At the side of the Ambassador of Cana were several warriors of the Cana tribe, carrying scimitars like scythes behind them.On a row of benches opposite the ambassador of the Cana clan sat the diplomat of the Geling Empire, an old man over half a hundred years old, wearing a red and white robe, sitting on the chair as if he was asleep.Several diplomatic adjutants sat side by side with him, and their faces showed embarrassment when they saw their chief officer sleeping soundly in the living room.Some of the senior generals in the South Wind Legion also stood around the red carpet, and for a while, it seemed that this reception hall was quite lively.I took Ying Li's hand and walked into this reception hall together, Mrs.
Manda seemed to be petrified before a look of relief appeared on her face, she stretched out her slender white arm and beckoned to the two of us, and Ying Li and I walked straight to Mrs.
Manda's side, at this moment, Ying Li and I suddenly became the focus of attention in the living room, and everyone's eyes fell on us.Including the envoy of the Gana tribe who looked like a huge mountain of meat, he stared at Ying Li expressionlessly, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.There was also a sleepy diplomat sitting in a chair who opened his eyes at this time, he was like a nobleman who had been hollowed out of his body by overindulgence, with wide dark bags in his eye sockets, and he looked like he couldn't wake up, after he woke up, the entourage behind him quickly handed him a teacup, he took the teacup accurately without looking at it, drank a large sip of tea, and looked at Ying Li with high spirits.I walked into the reception hall side by side with Ying Li, and all eyes in the hall were focused on Ying Li, and I was just Ying Li's foil.Ying Li's palms were cold and a little damp, but when she walked into the reception hall, her eyes seemed calm and indifferent, and we walked in front of Mrs.
Manda at the same time, and Mrs.
Manda pointed behind her and motioned for her to stand beside Le Die.Lady Manda gave me a kind look, pointed to the place beside Prince James, and instructed the maid in the audience, "Go and bring a chair for Giga." ”Then she turned to me and said, "Giga, sit there!"
”The person who can stand on the high platform of the living room obviously means that he is the owner of this lakeside manor.Mrs.
Manda asked me to stay on stage, which should be regarded as an acknowledgment that I was a member of the family, although her voice was still a little cold, but it made me feel the warmth in my eyes.The maid quickly brought me a chair, and I went up to Prince James and saluted him.Prince James's wise gaze fell on me, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he saw the crystal dagger of extreme cold that I had in my left waist, and there was a sharp gaze in the gap that seemed to have a needle prick, and then he saw the Hammer of the Temporal Breaker hanging from my right waist, and his eyes were full of intriguing thought.I sat down beside him.The envoy of the Cana tribe left his chair and stood in the reception hall, looking at Ying Li behind Lady Manda, putting his hands on his shoulders, and performing a Gana Sea ritual to Ying Li.Ying Li turned his head sideways to avoid it, and did not make any communication with this strong man of the Cana clan.At this time, James, who was sitting on the throne, leaned over to my ear and said to me in a low voice, "Hey, it seems that you are ready?"
”"What are you talking about?"
I turned my head to look at him and whispered.James's gaze fell on my waist, and he asked me pointedly, "Since you have these two most handy weapons by your side, if something happens today that you don't want to see, will you choose to resist?"
”I knew that there was something that could not be hidden in front of the master of the city of Haiyin, so I whispered to James, "I just don't want to see something happen against Ying Li's wishes, no matter what is involved. ”He propped his chin on his hand, leaned over and stared at me with a smile and asked, "So what kind of outcome do you want to see, or what kind of choice do you want to win?"
”I replied softly, "Whatever she wants." ”James's squinting eyes sharpened a little again, and there was a hint of questioning in his tone: "Did you think about it, or what she thought, is exactly what we don't want?"
”"Maybe!"
I don't even know how to answer at this moment.In the reception hall of the castle, the diplomat in red and white robes muttered for a moment, and with a deep voice from the deepest part of his throat, he said to Ambassador Galle of the Canahai Clan: "Ambassador Galle, your wish to see Ying Li has been fulfilled, is this the purpose of your journey all the way to the imperial capital?"
”The tall Cana Sea Clan sat back in the chair, pressing the heavy ironwood chair to stagger, and the three-colored aura on his body kept shining around his body, looking like a three-series stone drum totem, maybe it was other totems of higher grades, and the great witches of the Cana Sea Clan also happened to have some elemental power in their hands.Ambassador Galle groaned for a moment, looked up at the diplomat of the Grimm Empire, that sharp eyes were a bit like two knives, even able to cut the soul in the other party's body, he didn't open his mouth to speak, the voice came from his pleura, like the ventriloquism of the lizard clan, this voice echoed in the hall, and it sounded like an indescribable strange feeling: "Since I promised you that I would never come into contact with Princess Yingli in private, then what are you worried about?"
”Obviously, the Galle ambassador was less polite to the diplomat, Master Kyle.Ambassador Galle sat in his chair, and he could still hold his chest high, and he could see that he was also in a high position in the Canahai Clan, and that feeling of superiority had long been ingrained in his bones.He said to Lord Kyle, a diplomat of the Grimm Empire: "I rushed to the Grimm Imperial Capital this time to bring a message related to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I swear in the name of the Supreme God Eva that the news I brought will never hurt Her Royal Highness Princess Win Li, and as for whether Her Royal Highness Princess Win Li wants to know this news, it is completely in accordance with her own wishes." ”Then, the Kana Sea ambassador's gaze fell on Win Li behind Lady Manda.Standing behind Lady Manda, Ying Li calmed down as much as possible, and then asked with a serious face, "Ambassador Galle, what if I don't want to hear anything related to the Cana Sea Clan?"
”Hearing Ying Li say this, the ambassador of the Kana Sea Clan did not have any anger, disappointment, shock, dissatisfaction, panic, etc., but decisively got up from his chair and said to everyone in the living room: "In this case, my mission is over, and I hope that one day I can see you again in the Endless Sea, and I will take my leave." ”After saying that, the ambassador of the Cana Sea Clan turned around and walked along the thick red carpet towards the outside of the castle, and the warriors of Cana beside him also followed behind Ambassador Galle.In the blink of an eye, Ambassador Galle was at the door of the reception hall, which was silent."
Wait, Ambassador Galle."
Ying Li's voice came from behind Lady Manda.At this time, I could even feel the sighs of Prince James and Lady Manda, and I could deeply feel how much the two of them did not want Ying Li to shout this sentence and let Ambassador Galle of Jhana just leave.Win Li shouted out to Ambassador Galle, but James and Lady Manda still did not say anything.On the other hand, the Ambassador Cana slowly turned around and asked Ying Li with a blank face, "Your Royal Highness Princess Ying Li, what else do you have to order?"
”Before Ying Li could speak, Le Die, who was standing next to him, suddenly opened his mouth and said loudly to Ying Li: "Sister, just let him go, what are you calling him for?"
Have you forgotten that these Cana Sea people are even cold in blood?
”Mrs.
Manda raised her eyebrows, and immediately interrupted Le Die's outrageous words, and scolded Le Die: "Le Die, shut up!
At all times, don't forget that you are a member of the royal family of Angelboy, and this honor does not allow you to slander others like this, even the Cana Sea Clan.Don't forget that you have the blood of the Silver Moon Elves in your veins," Prince James sat on the throne, looked down at me, and asked me in a calm tone, "Jiga, what do you think about this?"
”As Prince James spoke, the reception hall became much quieter.I turned my head to look at Ying Li, at this time her eyes just looked at me, our eyes met in the air, I saw the faint eagerness in Ying Li's eyes, I felt that I understood what she was thinking, so I said: "I hope to respect Ying Li's choice." ”"Well, Yingli, what else do you have to say to Ambassador Galle?"
Prince James said to Ying Li."
I would like to hear what Ambassador Galle has to say to me."
Ying Li bit her lip, she didn't speak loudly, but she spoke clearly.Before the envoy of the Kana Sea could speak, Lady Manda, who was sitting in her chair, turned back to Ying Li and said earnestly, "My child, although I do not know what the news brought by Ambassador Galle is at the moment, I do not want you to know about it. ”Ying Li looked up at James at this time and asked him, "James, do you think so too?"
”"Yes, I am of complete agreement with your mother on this issue."
Prince James nodded slowly, he sat down in his chair and rubbed his hands, and then said slowly: "Actually, I don't want anyone or anything to ruin your current peaceful life. ”Ying Li turned his head to look at Le Die again and asked her, "Le Die, what about you?"
”This fairy-looking princess Le Die obviously did not have the temperament and good temper of the elves, she was like a fried-haired lioness, her melodious voice contained an angry roar, and she even said hysterically: "If I could, I would simply kill these damned Cana." ”Lady Manda frowned again, very dissatisfied with the tone of Le Die's words, and accused: "Le Die, your thinking is too extreme, this is not what a future commander should have. ”At this time, the ambassador Jana was waiting at the door of the reception hall, neither wanting to leave, nor turning back, but just standing quietly waiting for Ying Li's decision, and I could feel that he seemed to be extremely patient with Ying Li.The senior generals of the South Wind Legion in the hall looked at the group of Cana Sea Clan very vigilantly at this time, and there was a tense atmosphere in the hall.Ying Li walked out from behind Lady Manda, stood on the stage, and looked at the Emissary of Jana with a calm face, and at this moment I knew that Ying Li had made a decision.At this time, Ying Li looked at Prince James again and said to him very seriously: "I want to hear him!"
