Riding and Slashing

Chapter 303 You have to be careful

"Are you a relative of Princess Anna? What's your name?"

Li Ang turned around and asked one more question. He felt that this city gate official was really special.

Anna, this is the name of Ulrik's young and beautiful princess.

This name is very common, but the princess's surname is not common - her full name is Anna von Clancy, and it is said that she is a minor nobleman from Howling Castle.

Of course, maybe the princess is not Anna, maybe it's just some witch wearing the skin of the woman named Anna.

The reason why Li Ang felt that the city gate officials were relatives of the princess was mainly because this kind of newly appointed knight should only be the servant of the princess—the princess had just married the king for a few months, and it was the time when the power of the family was soaring. Yu Lidu will definitely appoint some new guardian knights.

Only the guardian knight of the princess can be the city gate official when he first received the imperial seal.

"No, not a relative. To be precise, I am a follower of Mrs. Anna. My name is Inna, and I have just been appointed Lord of Short Howl Village by His Majesty, Lord Leon."

The handsome guy who called himself 'Inna' nodded to Li Ang and saluted him. He was very polite, and he was very particular about his words—a princess can only be called a lady, after all, she is not a queen.

But the handsome man's name was somewhat at odds with the politeness—'Inna' was an odd name for a Sarleon nobleman, since it was a name often taken by pirates in Vanskerry.

The meaning of this name in Vanskerry is 'from the endless water' or 'possess the power of the sea'-this is a very typical pirate name.

But Li Ang had never seen such a polite pirate.

Moreover, this guy's appearance and demeanor are obviously nobles from the Sarleon Realm.

In recent decades, there have indeed been many Vanskerry pirates who have become nobles of Fierdsway—the current King Vidis of Fierdsway was once the leader of Vanskerry's pirates.

And this Howling Village, the territory that Ina just got, is the closest place to Filtzway.

But the Short Howling Village was completely destroyed by the drunkard group a few years ago. It stands to reason that the princess shouldn't seal a deserted ruin to her guardian knight, right?

And this is a person who serves as the adjutant of the Royal City Guards—the Royal City Guards are the security of the capital of the kingdom, and they are the king's personal army. No matter what Princess Anna wants to do, at least the person who will be placed in the Royal City Guards must be her hardcore. confidant.

——Inna's position does not match his fiefdom.

This is a guy full of contradictions.

Thinking of this, Li Ang walked towards Inna friendly with a smile: "Knight Inna, would you take me to the House of Nobles?"

Inna also had a smile on his face: "It's my honor... But His Majesty must still be resting at the moment, and may not be able to see the king, Lord Li Ang..."

"No, no, not the king. I asked you to take me to Mrs. Anna... I think you will let me meet the noble princess right away, right?"

The smile on Li Ang's face deepened.

"This……"

Inna hesitated.

It stands to reason that a little knight like Li Ang should not refuse a request or invitation initiated by a noble like Li Ang with such an attitude.

Besides, Li Ang obviously had something to say...

"Master Li Ang, may I ask if you have anything to see Mrs. Anna?"

Inna is a vassal of the princess. He wants to ensure the safety of the lord's family, so he does have the right to know why Li Ang is looking for the princess.

"I was entrusted... I have a friend named 'Auers von Clancy', I don't know if you've heard of it?"

Clancy, this is the surname of the princess—it is also the surname of Ors, the head of the Owl Knights.

And Aurs is the knight who looks very similar to Inna.

The same blue eyes and high nose bridge, the same brown hair, the same brown beard, and even the same body shape, but Aurs is much older than Inna.

"...Master Aurs must be a relative of Mrs. Anna? Has something happened to him?"

Inner frowned, as if he didn't know who Aurs was.

But he clearly realized what the last name Clancy meant.

"Nothing happened to him... However, he entrusted me to help him ask—why didn't His Majesty and Princess Anna invite him to participate in the wedding of his daughter Anna? Is it because His Majesty the King does not intend to recognize him as the father-in-law? Or is Mrs. Anna not intending to Recognize him as a father?... Knight Inna, who do you think I should ask about this?"

Li Ang stared into Inner's eyes, still smiling: "Should I ask Mrs. Anna, or His Majesty the King?"

Ina was stunned for a moment, then smiled more humbly: "I'll take you to see Mrs. Anna right now."

Afterwards, he led the horse and led the way without delay, as if he was in a hurry than Li Ang.

Li Ang smiled - it seems that Amy's matter can be resolved through this princess.

In fact, this is why Li Ang asked Lisa Dilan to sneak to Sarleon City to wait for him first-Li Ang went to Trublen, where the Owl Knights have been stationed.

After all, the princess's surname is the same as Ors's, so of course she has to ask.

But what Li Ang said to Inner was actually bluffing—Aurs didn't have a daughter at all, but had an illegitimate child...

Or it is not called an illegitimate child, it should be regarded as a real son who dare not recognize, but it was born when he was not married.

During the period when Ors was first engaged, he met a group of gangsters who robbed the family village, so he led the Owl Knights to kill the gangsters.But then it was discovered that those so-called gangsters were basically nobles under the mad king.

So the Owl Knights were classified as illegal knights by the Mad King, and Aurs was also wanted.

At that time, the Mad King could do anything bad, so Aurs broke off the engagement with his fiancée and took the knights away to avoid hurting his lover.

But Aurs's fiancée was pregnant at the time... which was sort of a tragedy.

By the time Ors knew this, his son had been born and taken to the temple of the goddess of order—his fiancée became a nun serving the goddess Eunomia.

Aurs' fiancée obviously loved him all the time, and she never remarried under such circumstances, and she also unilaterally gave herself the husband's surname Clancy.

The nuns of the goddess of order need to swear to abandon all kinds of desires and serve the goddess wholeheartedly, which is basically equivalent to becoming a monk.

But becoming a nun is indeed the best place for unmarried women in the Sarleon Realm to go. After all, Eunomia is the official belief of the Sarleon Kingdom. Teaching some orphans - this is also the main job of the nuns.

Most of the "orphans" raised in the temple are the illegitimate children of nobles - this is a way for the temple to obtain offerings, and this kind of "offering" is generally relatively generous, and Ols himself often sends money to the temple ...

Probably the only problem is that after becoming a nun, it is not easy to get out of this status. After all, the temple is not where you can enter and exit as you want.

And that temple is located in Howls Castle, which is the hometown of Ors and the residence of the Clancy family.

When Ols mentioned this matter, he was full of guilt for this real and nameless wife.

He has been wandering around all these years, leading an illegal knight order to struggle to survive, but he can still maintain kindness and order, partly because of the woman who loves him deeply—he can't do evil, because in his eyes, his A lover is the goddess of order herself.

Ors' fiancée is also a minor nobleman. Although her child was born out of wedlock and is an illegitimate child, at least she is not a criminal and does not have to be a slave for the rest of her life.

If there is a chance in the future, the illegitimate child may still obtain noble status.

And Aurs himself is the leader of the illegal knights, and he is a wanted criminal—so Aurs has never recognized his son, nor visited him, so as not to delay the child's life.

This Inna looks exactly like Aurs, and Li Ang thinks this guy is the illegitimate son of Aurs.

But the problem is that Inner says he is not a relative of Princess Anna, but a follower—that is, his last name is not Clancy.

And Princess Anna claimed to be Clancy, but she must have nothing to do with Aurs...

It certainly wasn't that Als got the sex of his child wrong.

This can only be because Princess Anna doesn't know the specifics of her body at all!
If Princess Anna knew that there was Aurs in the Clancy family, then when she married King Ulrik, she should at least call this 'family' to attend the wedding, right?

And Inna - he may indeed be a follower, a follower of the Three Prophets!
The lord is basically sure that there is a high probability that the princess is one of the three prophets.

Inner's surname should be Clancy, but he really didn't know it himself, after all, he had never met his father.

And this Princess Anna, who might have been another orphan girl brought up in the temple by Orse's fiancée-so followed the nun and used the surname 'Clancy'.

This is probably just a small loophole that the three prophets have not noticed.

But for Leon, this loophole is enough for him to solve many problems-so he deliberately said that Aurers is Anna's father.

This is of course a lie, but the princess will probably believe it, because she certainly doesn't know who the father of this skin is - Li Ang is even sure that Anna is the skin that the three prophets deliberately found from the orphans in the temple. Because this can avoid troubles such as family relatives to the greatest extent.

As far as Princess Anna is concerned, if the 'father' of Ols sees the king, it is likely to directly prove to the king that she, Anna, is a fake...

If King Ulrik knew that there was a problem with the identity of the princess, or that there was a problem with the child in the princess' womb, then Amy's matter would naturally be resolved.

Aranric was dead, Malbert was a traitor, the king's youngest daughter was still young, and there was no such thing as a queen in the kingdom of Sarleon.

In this case, it is impossible for the king to designate Amy as a heretic, because he will most likely call Amy's brother Andrew as his son-in-law and become the heir to the kingdom.

But Li Ang also knew that it was impossible to testify directly, because Aurs had no daughter...

However, there are many ways to solve the problem, and sometimes it can be done in the opposite direction-it is entirely possible to coerce the princess to take the initiative to help herself, and let the heretical princess solve Amy's heretical grievances.

After all, Amy's matter must have nothing to do with the princess - since she is 'pregnant', as long as she waits a few more months, she will have the first heir with the highest legal principles, so there is no need to look for trouble at this time.

She only needs to let the child be 'born', without making such troubles, and she may even take the initiative to maintain the stability of the kingdom to avoid accidents.

For Princess Anna, before she 'gives birth to a son', the most important thing is not to let King Ulrik discover her identity, nor to kill the king, and even to ensure that Ulrik lives until then.

If the king died at this time, the inheritance would not fall on an unborn placenta...

Therefore, this princess will not mess around, she needs stability and time more than anyone else.

…………

Outside the gate of the noble house.

Li Ang got off his horse and took off his sword, and hung it on the sword stand at the gate of the Noble Court.

Of course, you can't bring weapons when you meet the princess, especially since this is still in the king's private house, and the guards can't bring it in.

Li Ang could only follow Inna alone.

Inna is obviously the concubine's confidant - after entering the gate of the Noble House, he didn't even need to report when he entered the high tower of the Noble House, he just opened the door and entered.

Li Ang turned his head to look a few times, and there were a few guards with low helmets standing on the outer wall. When Li Ang's gaze was directed at them, they lowered their heads, as if they were nodding.

So Li Ang made up his mind, and stepped directly into that quiet tower.

Inna took Li Ang directly to the second floor of the tower. This place seemed familiar to Li Ang—the last time he was cheated by Emperor Marius, he was taken to a secret room by the Lion Knight, and the stone on the wall of the secret room was basically the same as here. unanimous.

Of course, other environments are quite different, and it is estimated that the number of layers is different.

The second floor has a separate door, spacious seats, soft carpets, and various luxurious decorations, most of which are golden decorations.

This is a suite with a large reception room, surrounded by windows, and the windows are facing the wall of the Noble House - there are so many guards standing on the wall, this place does not look private at all.

"Your Excellency Li Ang, please wait here for a while, Mrs. Anna will come later..."

Inna was still very polite, and after speaking, she bowed slightly and was about to turn around and go out.

Li Ang grabbed him: "Are you sure I should meet the princess here?"

Indeed, this kind of place is not suitable for talking about secret matters.

"Anywhere, Mrs. Anna won't mind."

Inna smiled reluctantly, then went out, leaving Li Ang here alone.

"Your Excellency Li Ang... I didn't expect you to come here..."

Not long after, a 'maid' came in with a fruit plate.

This was not any of the three prophets he had seen before, but Li Ang was sure that this was one of the three prophets.

Because of the tone of this 'maid', it doesn't sound like a young man.

Li Ang felt a little nervous, but still pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "I came to seek the guidance of the prophet... However, I didn't expect the omnipotent prophet to become a maid..."

It seems that all the three prophets should have changed their bodies again, probably because they could not be recognized by the king.

"You know who I am? But you don't seem surprised at all..."

The maid sat across from Li Ang, and asked a question with a half-smile.

"Why am I surprised? This is the House of Nobles of Pendor. People have said that it is often haunted more than 100 years ago-it's not surprising that there are a few witches now, right?"

Li Ang also said with a fake smile: "However, I heard that King Ulrik hacked two maids to death in a row a few days ago... You have to be careful, maybe His Majesty saw something..."
