Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

She saw a row of small black dots appear on the horizon, and then the scout shouted: "There are cavalry from the north, and they are ours!"

Feite blinked and murmured:

"Yo, are you back?"

Chapter 28: Princess Teves is informal

Seven days after Leoric robbed the camp, the capital of the highlanders, Wangbei City, the king's palace—

Wearing a gorgeous gown, Princess Teves is walking in the "royal steps" of a princess, walking gracefully, dignifiedly, and slowly in the corridor.The royal family has a royal lifestyle, which must be distinguished from commoners and even nobles.This is the rule since ancient times.Her Royal Highness Princess Tevis has a set of etiquette, as long as she is outside, she must abide by it.

She held her head up like a peacock, and her jewels gleamed like a mobile jeweler's business.The exaggerated eldest son dragged on the ground, requiring two servants to carry the princess from behind to walk.It was long in the back and short in the front, just to show off her straight white legs with lace leg rings and the jeweled high heels on her feet.

Even when the princess is walking in the palace, she still embraces her front and back. Behind her are four servants, two carrying the basket and two spares; the two castrated guards with swords in front, and the "ruler ruler" in charge of etiquette and rules in front of her. mammy".It looked like she was going to fight a war, or to participate in some important ceremony at the national level.

But in reality she was just going to the bathroom.

At this moment, Mammy opened the curtain to invite her in, and the two maids went in to wait on her, while the rest avoided. After a while, Princess Tevis came out and asked, "What time is it?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it's 09:30, and you should go see His Majesty the King next."

Tevis nodded and said, "Okay, take me to change clothes."

This suit was for servants and nobles, but when meeting the old king, he couldn't wear it like this, so he had another set of suits.The princess changed into a relatively simpler white outfit, and changed the seven pieces of gold jewelry on her body into silver ones... The servants were nimble and helped her complete the change in a few minutes.

Then the princess came to the king's room.

Today morning is over, the old king is resting in his room, the princess came to massage his shoulders and accompany him.

The old king is 65 years old this year, which is considered a long life in this era. He is deaf, dazed, mentally unclear, and has all kinds of problems.In fact, the old king had been in poor health since he was a child. He was a premature baby with congenital deficiencies. It is a miracle that he can grow up.This also caused him to have no heirs. When he was 30 years old, he gave birth to a son, but the son was as weak as he was, and died of illness not long after. When he was 40 years old, he gave birth to another daughter. Princess Tevis.

Fortunately, this girl is not only healthy, but also smart, and she is not inferior to the man in all aspects.The king raised her as an heir, and Divis was determined to take over the important task within a few years. Later, the king's health deteriorated day by day, so he handed over all the government affairs to her, and she only occasionally asked about the two. sentence.

Today, 25-year-old Tevez is nominally a princess, but is actually the queen of the country.Because she has a pair of emerald eyes, and her beautiful face is as dazzling as jewels, people also call her "Princess Emerald" or "Princess Jasper".

At this time, Princess Tevis was talking to her father about some recent interesting events, while recalling some government affairs in the early days in her mind, and occasionally writing and drawing on the palm of her hand.Princess Teves has extensive knowledge and strong memorization, and has the ability to use one mind and two tasks, and is handy in dealing with various complicated things.

At this time, my father gradually closed his eyes, and his body gradually tilted on the bench full of cushions. Looking at the even breathing, he seemed to be asleep.

The old king suffered from severe insomnia, and could only sleep for a while by relying on choking incense and strong wine.However, if those things are used too much, they will be harmful to the body, and they dare not use them frequently, so the old king suffers from insomnia most of the time.

Today, the father rarely fell asleep, and Teves was overjoyed. She gently moved her hands away, and quietly pushed a soft cushion under the father's neck, allowing him to sleep in a more comfortable position.The old king clicked his lips twice, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump!" Suddenly there was a heavy running sound in the corridor.

With the sound of running, the old king's eyes that had just been closed opened again.

Tevis was furious all of a sudden—which bold and crazy person is making noise in the bedroom?

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, good news, good news from the front line!"

Princess Tevis was about to get angry, but when she heard what the man said, she immediately suppressed her anger.

The old king frowned and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the noise outside?"

"I heard good news," said the princess.

The old king's turbid eyes flashed brightly. He leaned on the armrest with trembling hands, supported his body to sit upright, and said, "Come on, let him in!"

"Come in!" Princess Teves shouted.

The envoy was wearing a battle armor and rushed in, exuding an earthy smell all over his body.He saluted and said, "I have met His Majesty the King! I have met Your Royal Highness Princess! May you two..."

The old king pointed at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense! What good news?"

The man picked up a letter written on a roll of parchment and read: "Good news from the front line, our army raided Wild Wolf City in late February..."

"Don't lay the groundwork, just read the key points!" The old king's cheeks flushed with excitement, and the dry skin on his chin trembled with his movements.The princess hurriedly comforted him and said, "Father, please don't get excited..."

The old king pushed away Princess Tevis's hand and shouted: "I'm fine, hurry up, keep reading!"

"Yes!" The messenger skipped the previous part and picked the one in the middle and read quickly, "...the barbarian army of one hundred thousand was vainly trying to retake the Wolf City, and the centurion Leoric made a surprise plan to attack the enemy at night. That night, with iron cavalry Colonel Growin is the main general, centurion Leoric, warlord Shia is the deputy general, and the three of them led eight hundred iron weapons to attack the barbarian camp at night..."

The old king shouted: "Wait, where did they get the cavalry?!"

The envoy said: "It was mentioned earlier in the letter that it was a war horse brought by Centurion Leoric."

The king nodded again and again, and said, "Oh, read it to me again later, finish first, and then?"

The messenger said: "The three of them each led a team of cavalry that night and raided the enemy's left, center, and right camps. The barbarian coalition forces were caught off guard and were killed so that they threw away their helmets and armor and fled. The barbarians were killed in the first round of charge. More than a hundred people."

"it is good……"

Before the king finished his words, the messenger continued to say excitedly: "Afterwards, three fires were set off, and all the barbarian camps and siege engines were burned down."

"Okay!" The old king slapped the table excitedly, "Bang!" Princess Teves was startled, not because of the loud voice, but because she did not expect her father to have such great strength.

"Speak slowly." Princess Teves was afraid that the old king would be too excited and his body would not be able to bear it.

The messenger nodded silently, and continued: "Afterwards, Centurion Leoric and Captain Growin withdrew first, but Warlord Shia's troops were surrounded by reinforcements from the barbarian Raven King, and failed to withdraw as planned."

The Crow King is notorious, even the king in the swamp knows him.He nodded, his face became serious, and said: "It's the Crow King again. Twenty years ago, he led a group of horse thieves out of Wild Wolf City, went south to fight the autumn wind, slaughtered two villages, and even set fire to Qingni Town. , Akkad took three thousand elites to capture him, but he didn't even catch a single hair. Thinking of this guy now, I still feel... cough cough cough cough!" The old king coughed in pain.

"Father, drink some tea." Divis handed over a cup of warm black tea.

The old king drank a little and said, "Continue."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The messenger continued, "Afterwards Leoric found that Sia had failed to withdraw, so he handed over his [-] cavalry to Growin and asked him to bring them back to the city, and then killed them all by himself. Rescue Warlord Shia.

"This……"

The king and princess looked at each other without speaking.

The messenger continued to read: "Leoric broke through the enemy's line of defense alone, killed fifty barbarians, and beheaded the barbarian general Kiora in the midst of the chaos. So Leoric led the rest of the knights out of the barbarian camp safely, and there were no casualties in the follow-up..."

The messenger was chanting, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he felt that he had no confidence.

The king and princess were also dumbfounded. The king shook his head and said, "Although the good news is good, it is too outrageous. He rushed into the [-] barbarian army by himself, killed fifty of them, and killed them all." A general of the wild beasts, and then left with a cavalry regiment? Although I have never personally led soldiers, I am not an idiot. Did the Northern Expedition think that I was old-fashioned and foolish, so they just wrote something to deceive me?"

Princess Tevis also frowned, and asked, "Is there really no moisture in here? Are you serious?"

The messenger thought for a while and said, "Uh, there shouldn't be any, because it's written by General Akkad himself, and Warlord Shia is there as a guarantee. Oh, by the way, there is another trophy, but it's a bit dirty, I'm afraid Her Royal Highness was shocked."

"what?"

"The eyeball of Kiora the Orc."

The king frowned immediately, and said: "Don't that thing..." At the same time, the princess shouted excitedly: "Bring it up!"

Then the father and daughter looked at each other, and Princess Tevis said awkwardly: "Well, father, what I think is right, I... I will grow up sooner or later, and I may go to war or go to the execution ground Presiding over the ceremony, these are the things I want to see sooner or later, so..."

The old man looked at his daughter with complicated eyes, then nodded and said, "Then bring it up."

Then the messenger turned and left. After a while, he came over with a big wooden box and said, "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty the King and Your Highness the Princess."

The box was so big that the king thought a locket for rings would suffice, but it was as big as a jewel box.

"Open."

"Yes."

The courier opened the box, and a fishy smell came over his face. The old king and Princess Teves looked at that eye, and they stopped breathing immediately.The princess is fine, but the old king touched his chest in fright and said, "Such big eyes? What kind of animal are these?"

The messenger said: "Report to Your Majesty, this is the left eye of Kiora the wild beast. It is said that Kiora the wild beast is more than three meters tall and his head is bigger than the strongest bull."

The king nodded and looked away.And the princess said, "Bring a bigger clip."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The courier took the clip, and Princess Tevis walked towards the box with the long hair, and used the clip to hold up the giant eye.The old king let out a low cry and said, "Devis, what are you doing?"

"I want to see if this thing is genuine."

The eyeball had undergone some embalming treatment, but it had a certain degree of decay.Tevis looked at the thing carefully, and then said: "This crack should be left by Leoric." Then she nodded, and put the giant eye, which was bigger than a goose egg, back into the box.

She turned her head and saluted, and said, "Father, these are not the eyes of any beast. I can be sure that they are genuine."

"That's true..." The king nodded and repeated, "It's true."

The old king looked forward blankly, like a statue.The old man had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't express them with words and demeanor.The princess beckoned, indicating that the messenger could leave.After a while, the old king suddenly said, "How should I reward him?"

"Who are you referring to?"

"Leoric! I've heard Leoric's name three times in a row. Oh, of course other people should also be rewarded, but their achievements can be rewarded according to the usual practice, but he... can't be found in history. This precedent. If the Northern Expedition can defeat the Crow King this time, I will at least confer him an earl and entrust a hundred miles of land, but the land of the kingdom has already been almost entrusted. If we continue to split the land from the royal family Feng Wang, then there will be even less land left for you, daughter."

Teves laughed and said, "How could there be no land to seal? The Northern Expeditionary Army just went to expand the territory and occupied new land. Isn't there a place that can be divided into them? When they beat down the wild wolves The land within a hundred miles of the city is our country, and the land that the soldiers of the Northern Expedition conquered by themselves should be entrusted to them! Whoever conquered it will belong to them, it is very fair."

"Oh, yes, yes!" A smile bloomed on the old king's face, "I'm so confused, I only thought that I could win a few battles as a victory, but I forgot the purpose of the Northern Expedition. Ah, child, You may not understand how much the plateau people are afraid of the barbarians these years, we have been beaten so badly."

Of course Teves knew about these things. She had lived in the shadow of the barbarians since she was a child. Every autumn when the barbarians were strong and strong, they would cross the Wolf City and come to the swamp to beat the autumn wind, rape and plunder, and commit all kinds of crimes.The battle reports that Tevis heard the most were where villages were burned again, a city was robbed again, or the army suppressing bandits was suppressed.In the war against the barbarians, the plateau people have almost never won, let alone annihilating or defeating the enemy army head-on, as long as they can hold the city every year, they will be considered victorious.

Suddenly the king said, "Son, get me something to eat."

"Yes, Father!"

Tevis hurriedly asked someone to make arrangements—the old king had been losing his appetite, and he hadn't offered to eat for a long time.

Then the king ate some fruit, a pancake, a small bowl of roe custard, and drank two small glasses of wine.He re-read the battle report while eating, laughing out loud from time to time.After a while, the king returned to his room with the help of Teves. He lay on the bed and started snoring lightly within a few minutes.Divis stepped forward on tiptoe and took a look, and saw that her father was sleeping as soundly as a baby.

Thank goodness!Tevis's eyes were sour, and she thought: How long has it been since my father slept like this?In the past few years, he has slept less than two hours a day, isn't it because he is always thinking about the war in the north?

It seems that victory is the best medicine, and good news from the front line is better than doctors.

Seeing her father's recovery, Tevis's mood also improved.She was walking slowly in the corridor, and the singing of birds came from outside the window, and Princess Tevis couldn't help humming a little tune.

The spring breeze in April was already hot and humid, the princess wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and then she walked faster and faster in the corridor, until she almost ran at a trot in the end.The servants also hurriedly followed, and the nun shouted: "Your Highness, watch your manners!"

The princess ignored her, pushed open the door of her room and broke in.

Mammy sighed, told the others to stay outside the door, and only brought the two closest maids into the house, and then locked the door behind her back.

At the same time, Her Royal Highness has stripped herself down to a pair of underwear.

The gorgeous clothes were thrown on the ground in a ball, and the old mother picked up one and shook it, saying, "Your Highness, this dress will be damaged."

The almost naked Princess Teves leaned back on the sofa and said, "It's all right, this dress should be thrown away anyway, it's been worn three times, isn't it, Mammy?"

"Yes." The princess's clothes can be worn three times at most, and they must be discarded after three times. If someone sees a piece of clothing worn four times, it is impolite.I'm also afraid that it will make people wonder if the royal family has no money, otherwise why would they not give Her Royal Highness new clothes?

At this time, Tevis threw off her high heels, put her sore and stuffy feet on the table to breathe, and took out a sharp knife from nowhere to pick up the knotted hair rope. She shook her head to let her long hair loose Open, it looks like lush weeds, full of hair.

"Water, big glass, add ice." She waved to the maid beside her.

"Yes, Your Highness." The maid handed over a big wooden cup for drinking draft beer, and the princess picked it up and drank it together, and then hiccupped.

"This damn weather can fucking kill people. No wonder the savages use the word 'swamp people' as a swear word. This place is really not for people."

Devis stood up from the sofa, then took off the last piece of cloth on her body, walked to the window naked, opened the curtain with her left hand, and pushed open the window with her right hand, a gust of cool wind came in and wrapped her body. Every inch of her skin.

"Ah, it's so cool to roll your eyes..." she sighed.

"Your Highness can't do it!" The nanny who was arranging her clothes screamed and ran over, and quickly stopped her unrestrained behavior.Mammy closed the window, drew the curtains again, and said, "Don't say it's a princess, even a girl from an ordinary family can't do this! If people see this..."

"Oh, it's okay, my window faces the back mountain, and that place is private territory..."

Mammy was about to cry, and shouted, "That's okay! If anyone sees it, I'll lose my head!"

Divis folded her arms and laughed, "You lost your head? Huh! If that happens, I'll run naked immediately!" Then she patted the old nun on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

Looking at the noble and beautiful face of the princess, and her rude posture that even the barbarians can't help but sigh, Nanny Jiechi couldn't help but sigh—how did this child grow up like this? Could it be that I am not strict in discipline? ?

It is said that the princess was not like this when she was a child. She was a well-behaved girl before she was ten years old, and she was very afraid of the ruler.

Why are you not afraid when you grow up?

Because Mammy can't beat her!

The eldest princess is in good health, eats a lot and grows fast, and she doesn't attack hard. Ever since she found out that she is stronger than the nuns, she has gone crazy-it is not too late for the princess to take revenge for ten years, and I will take those years. All the bullying is back!

Although the law stipulates that Madam Ring Ruler has the right to punish the princess physically, but the law does not say "if the princess fights back", what should Madam do?If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, what else can you do?Could Mammy still shake people?Then she can't shake the princess.

From then on, Madam Ring Ruler felt that her fate was too short. Later, the princess's etiquette lessons became more and more overwhelmed, and finally became this virtue.Fortunately, she knows the general situation and can tell the difference between the inside and outside of the house, otherwise the nanny would really be unable to do it.

At this time, Mammy said to her with a straight face: "If someone sees you being so rude, they will be disappointed with you and the royal family."

"Then I can't wish for it!" She picked up the big cattail fan that an old man would use to fan it, and said, "The royal family always f*cking with these vain things, there is a purpose, a lot of energy It’s all spent on this, why not read more memorials, or practice horseback riding and archery.”

Sister Ring Ruler widened her eyes and said, "Riding a horse and shooting arrows? That's not something a lady should do."

The princess picked up a tender cucumber soaked in sugar water and took a big bite. While chewing, she sneered and said, "Look, when I become empress, I will abolish all these red tapes! Who dares to object?" , I'll let her go."

Sister Ring Ruler was silent, her face almost dropped to the ground.

The eldest princess pointed at those people with half a cucumber, and said, "You guys, don't be convinced! I am a reasonable person. Let me ask you, what is the long-cherished wish of the highland royal family?"
