Heart of the Castle

Chapter 35 Side Story 12 Memories of the Green Lion

Returning to the hometown where he had been away for 20 years, he saw the beautiful scenery that once existed only in his dreams. Marquis Osiris thought he would toss and turn, unable to sleep. When he was on the bed of breath, the god of sleep seized his consciousness at an unimaginable speed.

It wasn't a sweet, dreamless sleep, however.

Although the scenery in spring, summer and winter of Moon Whisper Forest has its own characteristics, it is undeniable that autumn is the most beautiful season of the year in Moon Whisper Forest.The leaves of the aspen trees turn gold coins in autumn, and the leaves of the oak trees are as red as burning flames.Perhaps in other forests in the mainland, the leaves will also change color in autumn, but it is absolutely incomparable to the beauty of half of the Lunar Language Forest.

Of course, this may be just the stubborn prejudice of Elven Crown Prince Lothien. Anyway, in his 40 years of life, Lothien has never left the Moonwhispering Forest, or even within ten kilometers of the Evergreen Tower. .

From the perspective of an energetic human teenager, Lothien's life is undoubtedly very boring. Like every high elf, he casts the first ray of rose-colored dawn on the horizon of the east when the sun rises Wake up when he was young, and practice two-sword fencing with his fencing teacher, Unicon Fizeld, for a full hour.Then there was a short breakfast time, and he needed to consume enough fruit and bread to fill his stomach as soon as possible with the elegant demeanor that an elven crown prince must have.

After breakfast, there was the etiquette class taught by the Sun Chanter and the history class taught by the Elf Elder. These two courses were famous for being boring and long. An unbearable degree.Most of the elf teenagers who took classes with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were extremely bored with these classes, especially the lively and active Larry Moonbow regarded them as torture, but Crown Prince Lothian always showed a very serious attitude. Looking interested.

This is not to say that Crown Prince Lothien really likes etiquette and history lessons, but he has been taught since childhood that an elf crown prince must possess various virtues, and there is no doubt that elegant etiquette and upbringing are the The most important part of it.

Compared with the etiquette and history classes, the teaching of Elvish in the afternoon is the favorite course of Crown Prince Lothien. He is often immersed in the beautiful and melodious melody of ancient Elvish, until Unionicon Fizeld's The figure appeared in front of the door again.

"His Royal Highness, it's time to practice swords."

It was always such a peaceful voice, the battle dancer with the strange patterns tattooed on his naked body seemed to be as emotionless as a killing machine, and there was always a dull light shining in his black eyes.Crown Prince Lothien doesn't like this swordsmanship teacher, even if his double-sword sword fighting technique is indeed a well-deserved champion among the elves, he is too cold, too barbaric, and too unlike an elf.Sunsinger said that he was a wild elf, if not for the outbreak of the dragon war, the wild elves would be the eternal slave labor of the high elves.

But this slave worker is obviously not reconciled to such an identity, he won't use any elegant language to refute, and he doesn't need just the gaze of those deep eyes to make the voice of the sun singer dry and weak.

Unicon Fizeld's swordsmanship is as indifferent and ruthless as himself. When the two swords are swung, there seems to be a sigh from death. Strength, but still unable to gain any advantage in front of Unicon Fizeld, on the contrary, he is often held around his neck by the double swords in his hands.

Those two magical epees called "Nature's Fury" were probably the most valuable items in Unicon Fizeld's body, and they had always been the family treasures of the wild elves.Crown Prince Lothien has always wanted to obtain two swords that are not inferior to the wrath of nature. However, even with the magic alchemy technology of the top elves craftsmen, it is difficult to reproduce the batch of swords created by elves and dwarves before the Dragon War. The appearance of a legendary weapon.

Crown Prince Lothien has spent 49 years in this way. Since the life of an elf is very long, before his mother, the elf queen Sonata Alhana Arya... Her Majesty returns to the Golden Tree, he should still Will live the same hundreds of years.

If that hadn't happened.

However, on this night, the two strongest supporting pillars in his life suddenly collapsed. His mother, Her Majesty Sonata, Queen of the Elf, was sitting on the throne inlaid with rose crystal and green jade, her eyes were full of compassion, but But he said nothing; his teacher, the Sunsinger Solas Terenzu, stood in front of him, holding the Singer's Staff, smiling, but speaking as sharply as a knife.

It was a scene that Crown Prince Lothien had never imagined. The emotions in his heart were roaring and churning like raging waves, which made him unable to understand what the sun chant was saying at first.Even when the Sunsinger raised his hands high and announced that he would be sentenced to exile for his crime, he was still tongue-tied, his throat seemed to be clamped by pliers, unable to speak for himself.

Opposite to the rose throne of the Elf Queen was the green jade throne of the Emerald Dragon King. The incomparably noble Zhanqing Augustus stood up from the throne, said something indifferently, and then stared at the opposite side with piercing eyes.The elf queen seemed deeply tired and sad, and just waved her hands wordlessly.

Angry shouts swept through the entire hall of the Evergreen Tower in the next moment.

The elves waved their fists and roared at the Crown Prince whom they once bowed to pay tribute to. The words spit out from their mouths were vicious. No matter which culture or race, they would not regard it as a gesture of kindness.Crown Prince Lothian, who suddenly felt extremely lonely, was shocked by this sudden anger, and couldn't help but lose his mind. When he was brought back to his senses by the severe pain, there was a wound on his forehead that was hit by a stone and was bleeding. .

"You are a sinner of the elves!" an angry voice charged.

"Not only did you break into the forbidden area of ​​the elves, you also broke the dragon egg of the emerald dragon!" Another voice began to sob.

"I... I didn't..." Crown Prince Lothien's voice of defense was weak, he didn't know how to defend himself, Sun Chanter invited himself to the forbidden Emerald Dragon Cave, wanting to see the sword fight he had just learned surgery?This is true, but even he himself finds it unbelievable.

The Sunsinger sighed, "Be still, my brethren, and hear me!" His voice was so full of mournful emotion that the sobbing and howling Elves were silenced. "Our Royal Highness is still a child. He has no idea what an unforgivable crime he has committed. I believe in his character, because he is one of the best students I taught him! He definitely did not intentionally hit him. Broken emerald dragon eggs! Absolutely not!"

The Emerald Dragon King on the green jade throne let out a dissatisfied cold snort, but he didn't say anything, but a frightening cold light flashed in his golden-green eyes.

Sunsinger turned around, bowed deeply to the Emerald Dragon King, and then faced the crowd again. "As a sun chanter, I gave him a cruel sentence of exile, but as his teacher, I really want to replace him with my own body! But since I made a mistake, according to the law of the elves, I must accept the punishment! Lothien Baigrano Cedaron..." He called out the full name of the crown prince of Lothien, and then stared at the young elf crown prince with sharp eyes. "Confess your sin and accept the punishment of the law. This will be the only thing you can do to make amends!"
