Chapter 344： go home

Familiar corridors, familiar gardens.

Irene opened her eyes wide and looked at everything she was familiar with. After being away from home for more than a year and a half, there was basically no change in the palace.

She took Liya and hurried through the corridors, rushing towards the queen's bedroom.

"His Royal Highness?", "His Royal Highness Irene?", "Thank you Father!"...

The palace servants met along the way all showed surprise expressions. The princess disappeared suddenly. The public law was to live with Gabela’s relatives. What happened. Irene treats her servants very gently and kindly on weekdays, and they naturally don't want anything bad to happen to the princess. Seeing her reappear in the palace safely, everyone who meets her is heartbroken. in one breath.

Irene smiled at every servant who saluted her, but her pace didn't slow down at all.

Finally, she came to the palace that haunted her in her dreams, and a woman's figure appeared at the gate.

"Mother!" Irene cried and threw herself into the arms of Queen Phyllis.

The queen hugged the princess tightly, without saying a word, two lines of clear tears on her cheeks showed the excitement in her heart, and the surrounding ladies and servants also wiped away their tears.

After Velos landed, he sent people to report to Jingyao day and night, so Queen Phyllis already knew that Irene had returned. However, in order not to cause any side effects, no one told the queen and his party that they almost encountered pirates.

"Irene... my baby... why are you so cruel..."

"I'm sorry, mother, I should have come back sooner."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time before they separated under the persuasion of the surrounding people.

The female guard Liya suddenly knelt down on one knee to the queen, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please punish me for the crimes I committed."

Queen Phyllis stared at her for a long time, then shook her head: "No, you are not guilty. Liya, Irene is the lord you serve, and it was she who decided to run away from home, not you - although I don't want to see this That sort of thing. And you... have faithfully fulfilled the duties of a knight."

"Your Majesty the Queen..." Liya still did not raise her head, her voice choked with sobs.

Queen Phyllis helped the female knight with both hands, "Get up, loyal knight, and see who is coming to see you."

Liya looked over the queen, and a pair of figures came into her eyes.

"Father! Mother!"

Surprised, she yelled out.

"Lia!" "My daughter!"

The family of three hugged each other tightly.

…

In the side hall of the palace, King Rodney was discussing the specific matters of the Northwest Fleet with Abbott and his son.

"Your Majesty, the Northwest Fleet is equipped with powerful weapons, and they have rich experience in dealing with pirates. When I first arrived in the Northwest Gulf, there were also ravaged by pirates, but they were wiped out within half a year. Ah...Of course, This time, of course, we still have to rely on the regular army of the kingdom under His Majesty's command, and those Northwesterners will surely bow down under His Majesty's majesty."

Hansel is talking eloquently. It seems that as long as the two armies work together, the defeat of the pirates is already certain.

"Well, I also know something about Earl Greyman's extermination of pirates."

The king was thoughtful, "Oh, although he is young, he is indeed a capable lord. By the way... Hansel, it is said that Earl Greiman invented a fire-breathing weapon, which is very effective. Do you have any idea about it? understood?"

"Uh... this... Your Majesty, in fact, the official name should be Artillery and Musket, one big and one two. It's just...just..."

Hansel hesitated: "Earl Greiman's comparison is very strict. He is not a member of the Arda army, so it is difficult to know the specific situation."

"Hmm... alright." Rodney didn't ask any further. The older nobles don't have their own secrets, and there are some things that even the king can't force the other party to reveal.

At this moment, an attendant hurried over, and Fu whispered a few words in Rodney's ear.

Hansel felt it very clearly. The majestic king just now suddenly lost his composure, and his facial expression became agitated. It can be seen that most of them are happy, but there is also a bit of... anger? This is a bit confusing.

"cough…"

King Rodney cleared his throat and regained his previous majesty and composure.

He said to Hansel's father: "Sir Abbott, come here first, your son has done a good job."

Old Abbott quickly stood up modestly, "Your Majesty has praised you."

The king turned to Hansel again: "I will give you a written order tomorrow, and you will take it to the port of Kiel to find the local administrator, and he will cooperate with you in handling the repair and supply of the Northwest Fleet."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hansel replied respectfully.

"Then, go back and rest first."

The king stood up and ended the interview. Abbott and his son watched Rodney leave the side hall through the side door.

As soon as King Rodney was out of the sight of Abbott and his son, he quickened his walking speed, and his bodyguard hurriedly followed him.

He didn't stop until he came to the queen's bedchamber, slightly adjusted his attire, and then walked in slowly.

Entering the living room in the dormitory, he finally saw the person he wanted to see—Irene nestled next to her mother, and the mother and daughter were talking to each other.

"Your Majesty, you are here." The parents of the female knight Liya noticed the king coming in, and immediately went to see him.

It was only then that Irene noticed that her father had come in. She hurriedly stood up, but she didn't dare to look directly at Rodney. At a loss, a bit like a child who did something wrong—in a sense she did do something wrong.

Queen Phyllis hurried to her husband, glared at him, and said "warning": "Don't scare the child."

"I know," the king muttered.

He came to Irene's side, looked at the anxious daughter who lowered her head, put his hand on her head and stroked it gently, and said in a tone of blame and guilt: "You silly child, why did you run away without making a sound?" Now, do you know how worried your mother is these days?"

"Father." The king's touch made Irene let go of all the grievances in her heart. She rushed into her father's arms, and the long-lost warmth returned to her body.

"I was scared." Irene choked with tears, "I was scared, I was really scared at the time."

"That kind of fear is not the fear of being punished by you for doing wrong things in ordinary times, but a fear of not coming up."

"I know...I know..." the king repeated slowly, feeling more guilty in his heart.

"I will never again..." He just thought of this sentence, but he didn't say it. When the national interests and the happiness of his daughter are weighed in front of him again, what choice will he make in the end?

"Father God! Punish me." Rodney said silently in his heart.
