A strange world

Chapter 302 Chapter 155. Summons, disputes and commissions

"Don't feel pressured, my brother is jealous and lazy, but after all you have brought news about the rat people."

Princess Sails had just returned from the palace garden, and Annan realized that the royal summons was because of her.

The trip to the Garden of Tomorrow will not be smooth sailing... Annan thought. The royal family removed the wanted order and asked Faru Barros and the legendary mage to personally invite her. However, Princess Seles had been away from the royal capital for too long, and wrong information would lead to wrong judgment.

The current royal capital feels like a large hive to Annan, and you don't know which one you encounter is a ratman.

Annan suddenly asked the princess: "Why did you come back?"

Princess Seles' red lips pursed slightly: "Because...everything has passed."

There seemed to be some hidden secret, for the old maid showed sadness. Annan guessed that it was related to Princess Sails' dead husband: "Have you ever felt anything strange after coming to the royal capital?"

"What do you want to say?"

"The royal capital gives me an unusual feeling..."

"Because you are a foreigner to the nobles."

Princess Seles and Klein agreed that it would not matter if one-sixth of the kingdom fell. As long as the royal capital was still there, they could get it back at any time. This idea is also the epitome of the royal capital.

The premise is that they are still them.

Compared to their natural trust, Annan has a natural distrust.

Annan was one of the few people who knew that the Skaven were infiltrating the kingdom. But Annan could not speak out about this conjecture that would cause turmoil and danger. So, the eldest prince who killed his own brother...what is your identity?

"You should know that I was wanted for rebellion before, and this is related to my own safety..."

"I will intercede for you." Princess Sails said that she would go with Annan.

During the conversation with Olmedo that night, she thought Annan should go to the palace gardens. If the speculation is true, the Rat Man doesn't know that Annan knows. The speculation is false and Annan can still clear his name.

The next day, at dawn, Annan, who was awakened by the old maid, came to the restaurant, dined with Princess Sales, then got into two carriages and headed to the palace garden around the mountain.

The shock of the snow-capped mountains comes from nature, while the shock of the palace gardens comes from human traces. When the first morning light falls on the palace, the dreamy luster makes people immersed.

It is said that dwarves are involved in the garden? After returning home, I asked Yili to also design one...

Two carriages stopped at the entrance of the palace, and Annan and Princess Seles walked into the corridor of the palace.

Princess Seles, who was wearing a rose-red fluffy skirt in front, was elegant and elegant. Annan followed behind, looking at the historical decorations displayed on both sides of the road, but he couldn't recognize any of them.

After passing the two giant guard statues, Annan and Princess Sails came to the hall.

Annan saw ministers, counts, knights, and the eldest prince on the throne. Different from the coldness in his imagination, the rather handsome prince's complexion was pale, with sleepiness hanging on his face.

Their arrival only attracted some attention, and some eyes fell on Annan.

Annan is not the protagonist, at least not yet. The eldest prince leaned lazily on the throne, yawning and listening to the ministers reporting on government affairs... There was no news about the southern rat people.

The eldest prince on the throne waved to call the guards and gave a few instructions. After the minister finished speaking, he said: "A few days ago, Tusk County sent an exotic horse. I want to show it to you."

The guards led a stag to the hall, and the eldest prince's words rang out: "What do you think of this horse?"

The officials and nobles in the hall all said, "This horse is too strong!" Among them, Faru Barros shouted the loudest. Princess Seles and some real nobles remained silent.

"Annan Reeves, what do you think?" the eldest prince suddenly asked.

All eyes in the hall were focused on Annan.

I said Rat Man. Annan secretly said that Princess Seles had no intention of helping her, but fortunately Kerberos's magic scroll warmed people's hearts.

"I come from the remote northern border, Xingyue Bay, which is a place where birds don't have shit. I have never seen it..."

"You can take a guess." The eldest prince was very interested.

Annan vaguely guessed something because of the officials' obedience: "Horse and deer are just names. What it is called depends on us."

"Then why do you want to rebel against my brother?"

The atmosphere in the palace changed. Princess Sails still didn't say anything. Annan had no choice but to explain the misunderstanding: "I didn't rebel, and I don't know the second prince. I just accidentally knew that the Rat Man was going north, and the second prince was once the acting minister. News of the Ratmen invasion was sent over, but they were inexplicably slandered as treason, and the knights were sent to attack Xingyue Bay... Fortunately, the misunderstanding was cleared."

Annan told the truth. He was not plotting rebellion, and he did not know the second prince at that time.

"It seems that I misunderstood you... So, King of the North, what reward do you want for revealing the whereabouts of the Rat Man?"

"It's bitterly cold in the north, and my territory needs money and supplies."

"This is what it should be..." The eldest prince rapped his knuckles on the armrest, "But it's not enough... You haven't married yet, right?"

Annan was keenly aware of what the eldest prince wanted to say next and interrupted him in advance: "I take the idea of ​​reviving the family as my idea, and I don't think about anything else."

"I remember you have two sisters?"

Thinking of the quiet Itilia and the noisy Layla, Annan knew that they must hate the marriage.

"So does my family."

"You rejected me again..."

The figure on the throne looked down at Annan with disappointment, and the atmosphere in the hall became solemn.

"Your Majesty, the King of the North can only play its role in the north. It's a good thing that Annan wants to guard the border for the kingdom!" Faru Barros stood up to speak for Annan.

One beggar on the street is enough.

Princess Seles also spoke at this time: "Sister Winter was full of praise for Annan. There is no need to worry about his loyalty. Rather than staying in the royal capital and becoming a noble, guarding the north is more suitable for him."

The eldest prince's eyebrows softened as he thought of something, and he looked at Annan: "You really don't want anything?"

"I need money and supplies," Annan said.

Even the eldest prince felt annoyed when his sister spoke for him. Why does this guy only know about money: "Other than that?"

"...I want to know the war situation in the south."

The frequency of tapping on the armrest of the throne became more frequent, like weak water droplets echoing in the hall: "No matter how much I tell you, you won't believe it, so go to the south and see for yourself."

The next government affairs had nothing to do with Annan. After standing in the hall with Princess Sails for more than ten minutes, everyone dispersed. Princess Seles asked Annan if he wanted to visit the garden, but Annan refused - there were many royal family members living in the garden, and with their arrogant personalities, they might use force, which would allow the elusive prince to succeed.

Annan has received permission to go to the south to find out. Compared with the news sent to the royal capital, seeing it with your own eyes is more credible...and dangerous.
