Blood Dragon

Chapter 170 Five Enemies

Under the demonstration by Aunt Mary, Xing Ke and Xing Jian bowed down to pay respects according to the etiquette requirements.

As a queen's room, this place is quite simple, and the surrounding furnishings are not particularly luxurious, and the area is not very large.In short, this place is very different from the "Queen's Room" that the two sisters originally imagined.

But on the other hand, the queen herself is pretty much what they expected.In fact, there was nothing extraordinary about her appearance.There are rumors in Falcon City that the little queen's appearance is different from ordinary people, and even that she has a very enchanting appearance, but in reality, it seems that these rumors are either groundless or wrong.

It is the strange woman next to the little queen who can really be regarded as "enchanting and charming".As mentioned earlier, Countess Marianne has been active during this period of time, and she already has some understanding of the various forces in Falcon City, so she also knows that this tall and attractive woman is Rodia, a woman with a mysterious origin.And there are legends that this woman was once a prostitute.

But other things can be put aside for the time being, because the hostility in the little queen is very clear.

To say that women's intuition is really very strong, this sentence does not come from the fiction of the poet.Because at this moment, the two sisters clearly felt the hostility from the little queen.Although this kind of hostility has not yet been expressed through words, expressions, and actions, this instinct derived from female instinct does not require any evidence, and the two sisters can already feel it.

Having said that, as a queen, she took the initiative to summon two squires and nobles, which is very unusual in itself.And Aunt Mary is well-informed, so when the two sisters set off, they basically knew what kind of situation they were going to face.

The little queen nodded arrogantly, signaling the other party to get up, and then she pointed at the chair prepared beside her, signaling the other party to take a seat.

She didn't even say a word during the whole process.Under other circumstances, such insolent behavior would have caused outrage, but she was queen.No matter how rude she is, others can only endure it.

"Countess Marianne," the two parties sat down and introduced each other briefly, and the little queen finally spoke formally.Just like her previous attitude, her tone was extremely arrogant. "You seem to have been in Falcon City for a while, what do you think of it?"

"Your Majesty the Queen," speaking of it, if the little girl wanted to use this attitude to force the other party to show weakness, or to arouse the other party's anger, she had found the wrong person.Aunt Mary's age is not in vain, not to mention that she was once a famous figure and has seen all kinds of scenes.So she replied neither humble nor humble. "For me, Falcon City is the same as before, only the passage of time, new people replace old people."

Perhaps the little girl failed to achieve her goal, so she turned her attention to the twin sisters next to Aunt Mary.After all, today was summoned by the queen, so the two sisters came here after dressing up carefully.Their beauty is not the kind of mature and charming, but the kind of youthful youth.Although there are differences in beauty, if one stands on a completely objective standpoint, one can praise the two sisters as "beauties".

But there is no completely objective position in the world.As the saying goes, the ass decides the head. In the eyes of the little girl, she has already devalued the twins to nothing.It's a deep-seated ailment of the human psyche.When you hate a person, you will automatically ignore his good points and focus on his shortcoming.

"These two are my nieces," Aunt Mary said immediately, seeing where the little girl was looking. "One's name is Palla, and the other's name is Katyua. They are the daughters of my late brother..."

"Deceased? Did you raise them?"

"I see it as my own," answered Aunt Mary.She knew that the situation of the two sisters was a bit special, and it was best not to let the Queen know about their special experiences.Especially not to let her know that the two sisters had studied magic in the church.Of course, since the green skins destroyed the holy capital before, it is unlikely that this matter will be exposed.But just in case.Aunt Mary knew very well that if a little girl at the age of the little queen fell into love fantasies, anything was possible.Everything from poisoning to framing.

"They... your elder brother, doesn't he have the right to inherit the title?"

"I'm sorry," said Aunt Mary.

The contempt on the corner of the little queen's mouth intensified a bit.Although it is said that titles without hereditary territories cannot be inherited, but out of a custom, the descendants of these nobles can be crowned with an honorary title of nobility as a comfort.From this point, it can be seen that the parents of the two sisters were not serious nobles.Although they do belong to the Griffin family.

Having said that, the Griffin family is indeed a big family.There are high-ranking officials and eunuchs in this family, as well as ordinary people who live on a small amount of income.To say that the grade of the two sisters is not bad.In fact, in such a big family, there must be those paupers who have been reduced to nothing, but they are not known to the public.

"It turns out that he doesn't even have the title of nobleman." The little girl said bluntly.

However, if she tried to use this sentence to provoke the other party, it would have no effect at least on the surface.The two sisters and the old woman still had smiles on their faces, and they didn't seem to be disobedient at all.

At this time, several people's attention was on each other, so that no one noticed that Rodia's eyes were looking out of the window.

"I heard that the two of you are the fiancee of Count Ashruft?" The little girl continued to ask in a defiant tone.

"Your Majesty," Aunt Mary interrupted.The old woman's face was full of smiles, but her gaze was like a sharp knife. "I'm afraid it's not just 'heard'?"

The eyes of one old and one young are facing each other.Although the little queen showed a very strong posture, Aunt Mary did not flinch in the slightest.This dark contest of wills ended in a draw.Both sides looked away in unison.

Having said that, the fool also understands that the little queen's words are all fake.When they came to Falcon City, they were arranged a place to stay, and at the same time, they were deliberately avoided the opportunity to meet Ashuruffat.No matter how you look at it, this is not normal. In fact, since they came to Falcon City, they haven't seen Ashrufat face to face.

When Ashurfat came to see Shirley before, the three of them happened to be absent.From this point of view, their every move must have fallen into someone's eyes.There is no such coincidence in the world.

"I want to ask about Ashuruffat's background." The little girl said. "He said he had lost his memory and couldn't remember many things in the past."

A small, inconspicuous smile flashed across Aunt Mary's face.

She began to introduce it in detail.During this period of time, Aunt Mary has not wasted time in vain. She has made thorough preparations in all aspects, one of which is to fabricate the story of the origin of Ashuruffat's identity.After joint research by many people, even if this story is not compiled perfectly, it is not something that mortals can trace.

In this story, Ash Rufat was born into a knight family who was not particularly rich.Then one day, because of a chance encounter, Ashuruffat's father (of course, this non-existent character is called Thomas) and the parents of the twins met.Because of mutual affection, the two parties become friends—and then, as in such stories, the friends marry each other with their fingertips, and a marriage is arranged for the next generation.

What follows is a typical story development: After many years, for some reason, the parties have passed away.Only Aunt Mary, the witness of the incident, is still alive.Aishuruffat's family has fallen even more, and he has become a mercenary.Then, when Aunt Mary herself felt that the marriage contract was worth keeping, Ashuruffat came to Brasian and demanded that the marriage contract of the year be fulfilled.After being confirmed by Aunt Mary, Ashuruffat accidentally fell off the cliff because he didn't know the way, was injured and lost his memory.

In short, in this story, all kinds of details have been carefully considered.Everything seemed flawless—not even a man with infinite curiosity and infinite money could find the flaws in this story.All those parts that may be verified and held accountable have been blurred by Aunt Mary.She cleverly used ambiguous words such as "I heard", "I remember" and "seems to be" to erase all the flaws.

Obviously, the story was perfect, at least the little queen seemed to believe it.Because she looks silent.

"You also said just now that you are all shaken and want to give up this engagement." Luo Diya who was next to her interrupted suddenly.

"It's just shaken." Aunt Mary replied calmly. "After all, at that time, we once thought that Ashurfate might... encounter an accident. After all, in the life of a mercenary, any accident is possible. I believe His Majesty also understands that in this case, it is meaningless to obey However, since Ashurfate has appeared, this possibility no longer exists, and this marriage contract must be fulfilled, otherwise it will violate the ancestral precepts of the Griffin family."

"I think, if Ashuruffat was a poor poor man, you might not be so active." Rodia said with a light smile.

Aunt Mary looked at the opponent who suddenly appeared.There is no doubt that no matter what the origin of this woman named Rodia is, she must be the little queen's staff.Having said that, if there is no guidance from the brains behind this matter, the little queen will not be able to play any tricks.At least it won't be like it is now, and they won't have a chance to meet Ashuruffat once.

"My two nieces are nearly 30 years old this year. If it wasn't for some down-and-out pauper, would they have waited so long? Women and children of their age could have a marriage contract."

Luo Diya smiled, but did not continue.

This time it was obviously just an ordinary temptation.Their topic returned to Aishuruffat, especially what happened after Aishuruffat lost his memory.Aunt Mary had nothing to hide about this.They chatted for a long time, until someone informed Prime Minister Ellynn to see him.

Aunt Mary also took the opportunity to bid farewell, and then left with the two sisters.

"This old woman is really annoying!" As soon as the figure of the guest left, the little girl immediately cursed.

"It's not the old woman who is in trouble, but also the pair of sisters... My sister gave me a special code just now."
