Chaos Crown

Chapter 29, The Woman on the Throne

Aaron found that he was not far from the princess, he was only about five steps away from the woman on the throne, so he was able to glimpse the moving appearance of the prestigious regent princess through Mansha.

Aaron vaguely knew that there was a reason why he was so close to the princess.

There are many unwritten rules in Susar's palace, one of which is a very hidden rule is the kneeling position of the visitor during the audience.

This is a favorite routine of the head of the inner court and his attendants.

If an aristocrat with good popularity, high prestige and willing to give a lot of rewards comes to see him, the attendants will place the mat close to the throne, so that the king's voice will be much clearer, and the two sides can not only maintain etiquette, but also be able to communicate with each other. Get closer.

If it is a nobleman with poor popularity and low level who is unwilling to give rewards to these servants in the inner court, the servants will place the cushions far away, so that it will be very embarrassing for the king to hear the words of the noblemen, and it is not easy to amplify the voice Affecting etiquette, the difficulty of communication between the two parties has risen sharply.

If the king couldn't hear what the nobles were saying, it would be easier. He could ask the nobles to say it again or ask the attendants to ask again, but if the nobles couldn't hear what the king was saying, it would be very troublesome.

Could it be that in front of the throne, the nobleman wants to say "Pardon?"

The Duke of Kayneth helped Aaron solve this problem. The Duke greeted the inner court attendants in advance and made the cushion as close as possible to the throne so that Aaron could answer questions. After all, this was his first time entering the palace, and he needed Behave better and impress the regent princess.

After Mansha, the beauty's demeanor can be vaguely seen.

Alice Sel-Obeschiel, the youngest daughter of the former King Asan IV, the regent daughter, a strong woman who has mastered the power of Cormyr, she has been fighting with her father since she was a teenager, and has a great reputation , a daughter of war.

Yasan IV has only two daughters, the eldest daughter Tenarasta and the youngest daughter Alice Searle.

After Yassan IV died in battle, since he had only two female heirs, the eldest daughter Tina Rasta naturally became the first in line heir, so she won the title of "Crown Princess" and prepared to be in the appropriate place. Time to inherit the throne of Cormyr.

However, the crown princess died of dystocia only after leading the kingdom to end the goblin war.

At this time, Cormier had a big problem, that is, the question of inheritance law.

According to the law of Cormyr, if the queen dies, the prince as her husband will automatically obtain the regency. If there is no heir, then a blood heir can be adopted from the side branch of the clan.

But the Crown Princess did not officially succeed to the throne, and according to Cormyr's law, when the Crown Princess has no heirs as the crown prince, the youngest daughter Alice Searle naturally ranks first in the succession to the throne.

Therefore, it became a loophole in the law of succession whether the princess consort Duke Caspar came to the regent court to adopt a child as the crown prince, or Alice Searle inherited the throne.

And this steel princess doesn't care so much, she has no time to quarrel with the Kingdom Council, and debates in the royal court with Caspar, who only has the title of honorary duke and has no real power and no real ground. Alice Searle relies on Zilong The Knights and Battle Mages directly took over Suzar in a thunderous manner, and acted as regent without the permission of the Kingdom Council.

The nobles pinched their noses and reluctantly recognized her, but they were still very dissatisfied with her iron fist, abusing the queen's blade all day to bypass the kingdom's parliament to issue decrees, and severe punishments. His regency was seized illegally, and he ran around seeking foreign aid support.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to raise his head, Aaron seized the time to gaze at the face of the Regent Princess.

The mind of the Son of Chaos suddenly became a little confused.

With just a quick glance, a mature royal lady wearing a purple-gold color-matched Youcao Xiyue Princess dress appeared in Aaron's sight. She had blond hair like a waterfall and was as cold as ice, and a pair of wine-red phoenix eyes revealed a Her breath was cold, as chilling as a steel knife. When Aaron's face fell into her gaze, sister Yu's eyes flashed, and there were strands of glamorous light in her beautiful eyes, but they were immediately put away.

Aaron didn't dare to look too much, he lowered his head.

He remembered that Alice Sale was several years older than him, but he couldn't remember whether it was seven or eight years old.

"Aaron Salian?"

"exist."

"This seems to be the first time you have entered the palace alone." The regent princess said softly: "You have awakened the charisma, and you are completely different from the previous you. When I heard the news from Hendry, I knew it was necessary to see you Once."

"It is my honor to be summoned by His Highness."

"How is your family? Aunt, uncle, cousin, and that ten-year-old cousin?"

"Everything is fine."

Aaron was very calm, and at the same time, he also faintly had a different kind of weird feeling.

He felt two completely different powers from the princess in front of him.

The first is Longwei, which is the same as the heirloom dragon scale full-body plate armor at home. From Alice Searle, Aaron felt a touch of Longwei!
This is not difficult to explain, the regent princess participated in the goblin war with the ancient dragon, and it is said that those who participated in the dragon slaying would get the "dragon's legacy".

But the second one is very strange. Aaron felt a strange force field similar to his own gift from Slaanesh from the orchid-scented body of the regent princess, and it also enveloped the surface of Alice Searle's body, because he and The princess is not far away, and he can feel the signs of the power of Slaanesh in his body being active, obviously resonating with the princess.

Why is that?
"Your mission failed this time. Walker and Hicks are both killed." The regent princess said softly. She adjusted her sitting posture a little bit, and changed her long and straight black silk legs unnaturally. Show beauty.

The jade feet wrapped in black silk stepped on a pair of black suede red-soled stiletto high-heeled shoes, the slender red-soled high-heeled shoes looked like two sharp long swords, and the delicate black spider silk stockings extended from a pair of beautiful feet to the dress skirt to cover The soft and elastic silk stockings at the knee position of moderate thickness are works from the dark area. Through the delicate spider silk surface slightly through the flesh, the faint flesh color emerges in the black haze. The knees showed the ultimate temptation.

Sure enough, stockings are like the ribbons on the Christmas tree, which are indispensable at any time.

Aaron thought wildly for a few seconds, and then began to "defend" cautiously.

"This is just a simple task, Aaron. No one asked you to slay the dragon. You were just asked to investigate the possible whereabouts of the Dragon Witch Cult in the King's Forest, but it cost two sacrifices."

"I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Highness!"

"Okay, I don't intend to punish you for this matter. I have read the report you wrote. You have indeed encountered a force majeure situation. On the contrary, I am happy for you. You are a charismatic sorcerer, so I specially summoned you here today." The tall slender lady sitting on the throne said leisurely: "Get up and give the seat to Viscount Salian."

Aaron's eyes moved, he criticized first, then affirmed, giving himself super honor and favor under the advantage.

The information is wrong, the court level of the tall and slender Yujie is not low!

The enemy does not move and I do not move. Aaron kept in mind the wisdom of his ancestors and his previous work experience of "kowtow more and talk less". He bowed his head again, and then got up from the mat to express his gratitude.

The attendant brought a small stool, and Aaron got up and sat on the stool, admiring the slender and smooth black silk calves under the princess dress and her pair of black suede and red-soled stiletto high heels.

"I heard people say that you are looking for a warlock mentor?" The regent princess is indeed a soldier. She doesn't like to talk in general, but directly names: "This is Cormyr, you are from the Salian family, yes Is it?"

"Yes, I am your loyal servant." Aaron understood Alice Searle's implication, and the regent princess was blaming him for playing tricks with the royal family: "It's just that I don't want to run into a man in a cloak in the alley again." male."

The voice of the woman on the throne was suffocated, she stopped obviously, and her sharp eyes came from behind Mansha like a cold north wind.

She also heard what Aaron meant.

"I know you've become a warlock now. It's a good thing to be bold and have a plan, but you have to use it in the right place." The regent princess took a deep look at Aaron: "You have to learn from Ms. Elastra, not Sasha. Master."

Alustriel-Silver Hand, the legendary archmage, the second-generation goddess of magic, one of the Seven Sisters of the Northland, the leader of Silvermoon City, rules Silvermoon City with her powerful magic and outstanding wisdom, and is loved by everyone. Love and respect.

As for Sammaster, Aaron doesn't know much about this legendary archmage. He only knows that he used to be the consort of Erastriol. It is said that he also had a romantic history with the second-generation goddess of magic, but he fell into darkness for some reason. , Began to be madly obsessed with necromancer magic, the famous evil organization Dragon Witch Cult was created by him alone.

What really let Aaron know the name was some online articles he read, that is, the battle between Sammaster and Losander, it is said that hundreds of priests of the Lord of Dawn ambushed when Sammaster was out He wanted to get rid of this source of evil, but they greatly underestimated Sammaster's strength. In desperation, the priests collectively sacrificed themselves to call the Lord of Dawn.

Lathander responded to the believer's request and sent an avatar to come to the mortal world to fight against Sammaster himself, and finally beheaded the fallen Chosen Goddess of Magic.

Some online articles said that this was an epic battle. Losander's incarnation thought he was sure of victory, but he was beaten by Sammaster until he bled all over the ground and nearly overturned.

However, what Aaron heard from the Lathander Church in this life was that Sammaster had no chance at all. His most powerful attack was useless against the incarnation of the gods. The only actual damage caused was due to magic. Losander's avatar's fingers accidentally tore a little bit of the skin of the remaining divine power of the goddess, that's all.

"Yes, the subordinates will keep in mind." Aaron continued to kick the ball.

His answer made the Queen Regent feel helpless. Her burgundy eyes looked at Aaron again, and her expression became more and more serious.

In the Salian family, there is such a character!

"You came from Shenhai Town, are you okay all the way?" Alice Searle started to make moves.

"Nature is good."

"I know, you have signed a contract with a group of mercenaries and acted together with them." The regent princess went on to say: "There is also that 'Flower of the Sunken Sea', Miss Eleanor Dinefur, they sent You are credited for escorting to Suzar."

"However." The regent's daughter changed the subject: "The priest of the Virgin of Silver is trustworthy, and you should be more cautious about adventurers. You should also know that these mercenaries who are licking blood often only look at the benefits, not the slightest Many times, we need these people to serve the kingdom, but you should not learn from them, you are different from them.”

This is an admonition again.

Aaron also decided to get some real products. As a warlock, he has no temper!
"Your Highness, look at our Suzar, our royal city, is a pearl by the Dragon Lake. It is magnificent and magnificent, carrying the glorious history of Cormyr for thousands of years. It is so beautiful, so solemn and majestic... ..."

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the tall slender beauty on the throne, what did Viscount Salian want to say?
"But, what does this great, prosperous city have to do with the mercenaries? They are nothing more than accepting tasks - completing tasks - taking money and leaving. No matter how great this city is, no matter how historic our royal city is , has nothing to do with them. No matter how powerful our army is, no matter how prosperous our market is, it has nothing to do with them, because no matter how luxurious the mansion in the upper city is, it is not theirs. Why do they have nothing to do with something that does not belong to them? What is it that produces a sense of duty and honor? You are wrong."

Aaron paused just right, just when the regent princess was about to rebut, and expressed his thoughts in sonorous and forceful words:

"I'm different from them, Your Highness, there really is my mansion in Uptown! I also firmly believe that in the near future, the royal library will have a room for me!"

After Aaron finished speaking, Man Shahou remained silent, but those wine-red eyes were always locked on Aaron.

In just a dozen seconds, the mood of the Regent Princess changed dramatically, as if she had been on a roller coaster.

From doubt, to anger, to surprise, to thinking.

With the ups and downs of her heart, a strange comfort and satisfaction rose in the heart of the Queen Regent.

In this case, there is no need to say more!

"The last Salian, if you really think so, Obesthyr will definitely not wrong you." The regent princess's voice did not change much, but there was already a hint of approval in her tone: "You don't have to do anything about the mentor. Look again, I have already found for you a mentor who is absolutely suitable to teach you, you wait for two weeks, and the royal family will pay for you on learning magic."

"Yes!" Aaron was excited. Sure enough, the resources of the royal family were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He needs a magic teacher so much now!

He also appropriately showed some excitement for the princess to see.

Alice Searle nodded in her heart, and she went on to say the second big news.

"Even though you are a warlock now, don't let the Purple Dragon Knight down. Yesterday, three knight instructors expressed their willingness to take you with them."

"Here is their information. You choose one as your knight instructor to participate in the six-month purple dragon knight training."

"But... if you fail the final formal assessment, the qualifications and fixed salary of this knight's supplement will be withdrawn!"

"You are eager for an opportunity, and I am willing to give you this opportunity, the last Salian, cherish it."

"...Yes." Aaron felt cold in his heart.

It's not beating anymore.

He only has six months, and the princess only gave him six months!
He won an opportunity from the princess, but he wanted to use everything he had as a bargaining chip.

Sure enough, no matter how mature and beautiful she is, no matter how steady and polite she is, she is a soldier at heart.

Army, don't raise waste!
This is the Queen of Steel.

At the end of the interview, the Queen Regent's burgundy eyes stared at Aaron's handsome face as deep and bright as the sky. Of course, she noticed that Aaron had been staring at her calf.

After all, she was just an adult... Alice Searle found an excuse for Aaron not to punish him for spying on her in her heart, and signaled that he could quit.

Coming out of the palace, Aaron realized that it was past ten o'clock in the morning.

This trip to the audience actually took more than an hour!

I remember that I didn't say a few words to the princess either?
Not long after he left the palace, Aaron happened to meet the Duke of Kayneth picking out goods in a nearby shop, and the Viscount quickly walked up to the Duke: "Your Highness!"

"Come out? It seems that our Viscount Salian has gained a lot from this meeting this morning." Kayneth-Ireth joked with a fake humor: "If you stay longer, I will doubt His Royal Highness. It's you."

Seeing the Duke actively laughing, the elite guards around him also laughed along with him.

Aaron could only laugh along, but there was no smile in his heart.

Six months, only six months!
"It just so happens that I've already arranged lunch!" Kayneth hooked Aaron's neck directly: "Red Scarf Restaurant! gogogo~"

Aaron naturally had no objection. He broke free from the Duke's arm with a little force, and asked an interesting question on the way: "Your Highness said that His Royal Highness has taken a fancy to me? Doesn't Her Royal Highness have a boyfriend?"

"Where did Alice Searle get her boyfriend?" Duke Kayneth is indeed one of the few people in Cormyr who dares to talk about the royal family casually: "She fought with the previous king at the age of 14, and she has been here for more than ten years. of the last few months."

"That's it."

Aaron had a bold idea.

Big big big ~ big bold!
The Power of Slaanesh is alive and roaring like never before!It is roaring!

The ultimate hunter application to play!

I found my prey!

　My fucking ground is cracked.

　　I must not have woken up, it must be so!
　　A water!rhubarb!God damn it!I'm going to kill you! ! ! !
