In the morning, overnight dew accumulated and rolled down from the olive leaves. The frightened bird flew up from the forest, the sound of horseshoes went from near to far, and on the avenue near Greys Castle of Maggietan, a gray knight rushed away.
The castle lowered the suspension bridge, pulled up the gate, the knight broke into the city gate, then turned over and dismissed the horse, sweating it, handing the mount to the guard, unbuttoning the cloak, walking up to the tower, and handing a letter To the clerk sitting there. After the clerical officer verified that the seal was correct, his complexion changed, and he stretched out his bell, then got up and pushed the door behind him and hurried out.
The urgent documents were passed between the towers, and soon fell to the waiter in the inner court. Under the leadership of the two female officers, the attendant knocked on the heavy wooden door of the Losargar Palace in Grey Pines Castle.
A few people inside the door stopped talking, and invariably looked back over here.
"Is this news from Lantoni Ran?" Antinina asked, looking at the blue laces on the instruments rolled into a cylinder in the tray on her housekeeper's hand.
"Yes, Ms. Antitina, Her Royal Highness, is news from Rantoni Langa."
Freya looked at Princess Griffin, and the half-elf girl had an uneasy look on her face, so she went down the stairs and took the tray.
After Levin Ornessen returned to Sifah, the process of unification between the North and the South has in fact put on motion, but the aristocrats in the South still have doubts about this, and many have stated their hopes that before the peace talks between Ampelsel The royal family communicated with each other.
Although Baba is suspicious of this because he brought Dennell too close to Golan-Elson, pagan activity is becoming increasingly active in this southern province.
But she also understands that the situation in the south has reached a boiling point, and the royal family's stance is necessary to ease the increased tension. Fortunately, due to the fact that Denell has always had the White Lion Guard, and since the end of the Second Black Rose War, Brenhild and her Valkyrie have also struggled here, and it seems to be quite satisfactory.
Therefore, after a compromise, Bai Yan asked Freya, who had just returned to China, to accompany Antietina and Princess Griffin, and this time allowed Denel to make the trip.
Her Royal Highness's team set off for the Birantoniran envoy to leave Vlada-Pez for a week at night. It wasn't until the end of the sleeping moon that Jean Jean was born. At this time, the local area was already around the New Year, but after several baptisms of war, there was no New Year atmosphere.
The situation in the southern part of the country seems to be more serious than expected, just after the end of the year. There was a pagan turmoil in the Winomare area, and the news of the shallow water town of Lantonilan was suddenly interrupted, once diverting the direction and attention of the White Lion Guard's defense to the east.
This aroused the vigilance of Miss Staff, and under her suggestion, Brenhild and her Valkyrie riders had moved to the garrison three times in a row. It is now very close to the north of Grey Pines Castle.
However, the tense situation and the silence of Lantonilan made Princess Griffin worry more and more about the safety of her younger brother, Herouin, the future king. These days, she has fallen asleep less and less.
And this rush document from Lantoniland seemed to dimly reveal something, which silenced the entire high hall of the Losargar Palace.
The air seemed to be perturbed.
Antitina's gaze shifted between the instrument and Her Royal Highness. She pursed her lips, thinking something in her heart. Freya supported the tray with both hands and walked back to Her Royal Highness. Griffin nodded to her. Although she tried hard to show no signs of undulation, her slightly frowned brows had shown the inner fluctuation.
She picked up the paper and opened the paint. The real secret letter was shaken from it, and only two lines were read, and the hand was shaken slightly, and he unexpectedly overturned the gilded cup on the table.
A thump sounded, the cup rolled down to the ground, and jingled all the way to Freya's feet, and the valkyrie reached down and reached out to hold it, stopping the sudden noise in the empty hall.
Griffith's face was like white paper, and she tilted her head almost backwards. Fortunately, Antitina's eyes were fast. Rushed up and supported the former.
"your Highness?"
Freya picked up the cup and raised her head, only to see this scene, could not help but startled.
"your Highness!"
The female officer and the housemaid also exclaimed.
But Antitina sternly reprimanded these people: "Retreat. Tell the Lord Master to come immediately, remember to keep your mouths under control!"
The lady of the staff is no longer the nameless princess of Prague, who was born in Prague, and her head was made a few months ago by the heads that let Denell roll to the ground. Her servants and female officials did not dare to disobey her orders, immediately Quietly retreated.
"Go and see if the door is closed, Freya." Antitina sat down, holding her pale Princess. Then told him.
The Valkyrie understood it, and she immediately checked if anyone was overhearing, then turned her head and shook her head.
"Go and inquire." Antitina winked at her.
Freya nodded, and then opened the door and went out.
After Freya left, Antinina asked, "His Royal Highness?"
"Haruze is in trouble ..." muttered Princess Griffin.
"what happened?"
"A rebellion broke out in Bernichel, the mob occupied the city, and the army of the Archduke Lantoniland now surrounds the city, but has not invaded the city.Since this letter was sent, Haruze and Duke Eco have lost Contacted for three days. "
"So," Antitina let out a sigh of relief, at least the worst she had imagined hadn't happened: "His prince may not have suffered misfortune, but where did these thugs come from, Lantonilan is not stationed in a large number Was n’t the Highland Knight and Black Tower Wizard also invited to the ceremony? "
"I don't know," Griffin finally regained some of his mood at this time, and seemed a little calmer. She carefully recalled the contents of the document, then shook her head weakly: "The letter was written by Lord Count Rogdia. According to the highland knights, the old duke has not yet figured out the identity of the attacker. It is said that It's quite possible that they are local pagans, but there are a lot of wizards in them, so the highland knights and Lantonilan's coalition will be attacked and frustrated. "
"The Duke of Lantoniland is really confused. How could the local pagans have such strength, there must be outside forces behind it," Antitina concluded. "When did this happen, Her Royal Highness?"
"It's been a week from the time the letter was sent," Princess Griffin frowned at this moment. "Strange, why is this letter delayed for three days on the road, and the knight delivering it?"
"We will know soon."
The lady of the staff raised her head, and her frowning frowns seemed to reflect the same uneasiness in her heart, but even so, her answer was still determined.
As if to testify to her words, but for a moment, Freya, who was also worried, pushed the door in again. The horsewoman carefully backhandedly closed the heavy wooden door of Losargar Palace, until the huge maple door made a 'click', and the lock springs were fastened together.
Then Freya turned back and said, "My Highness Princess, Antietina, I've asked clearly. This letter was sent to Maggietan only after it was sent to Courque."
"Why the letter from Lantonilan to Maggietan was forwarded to Fort Kurk," Her Royal Highness frowned, questioning slightly dissatisfied: "The closest route between the two places is not through the dwarven ring Is it a mountain trail? Who deliberately delayed it? "
The female knight shook her head.
"Because its first messenger was dead, the unknown army blocked the road north of the Misty Forest, and the knights who sent the letter broke through their blockade before sending the letter to Kurk, and then via Lord Silman there Corvin's people delivered it to us. "
"In fact," Freya frowned, "we may be in trouble, Her Royal Highness."
Antitina could not help but interjected: "Freya, you said that an unknown army was inserted north of Maggietan, are you sure that the messenger was telling the truth?"
"I have confirmed his secret code, and the magic method used is exactly what Lord Lord taught to Ke Wen."
The lady aside took a sigh of cold air: "Why didn't the White Lion Guard know anything?"
"Because the movements of the believers in Manowell's return to life have attracted our attention," Freya apparently clarified her thoughts. "So this can only be the army of Archduke Golan-Elson, and the South The Legion, apart from that, cannot find another army of this strength in the South. "
She thought about it and said, "This is obviously a premeditated move. The other party may collude with the rebels in Lantoniland, and they can order all things in Eruin to return to believers. What is more important is that they can The hiding of marches under our noses means that they have at least the help of local nobles. "
Antitina felt that her scalp had exploded, and the nobles of the South colluded with each other. This was one of the last things she wanted to see: it almost meant coup and treason.
But now there is no fluke at all, such a large-scale movement of the other party in the southern border is certainly not just as simple as an armed march. And when she felt the coldest in her heart, Valhalla's military and administrative forces were completely blinded in this incident. This is by no means an explanation of intelligence oversight.
This can only show that the other party's organization is more efficient and stronger than Valhalla. This may be forgiven. After all, Valhalla's intelligence system was only gradually established after the joining of King Silman, although There is some support from Bugatti, but after all, the time is short.
