Chapter 1139 Questions and Requests
“How do you know, Silent Prayer?”
Her Royal Highness the Princess with clear sky-blue eyes met Ji Xiaodao’s eyes and placed them on her knees. Her hands were tightly clenched at some point, her thin cherry lips pursed slightly, her soft and lovely face was slightly pale, but there were two faint rosy glows on her cheeks.
At this moment, Gaweier Logan is like a drowning person trying her best to reach out for a life-saving straw before completely sinking. Her eyes when looking at the dark elf girl in front of her are almost full of pleading. , there is even a subtle morbidity in it.
This Highness, who can break through the pattern of the Southwest Continent from scratch in a short period of time, is not clumsy, and there is no reason for her to be clumsy, even from a genetic point of view, with someone like Chiwetel Logan With a talented and ambitious brother, and a sister like Eliza Logan who is full of scheming and elusive, the probability that Gaweier will be unable to do anything is naturally infinitely close to zero.
In fact, the eldest princess does have excellent talents and talents, at least in terms of overall perspective. She has been carefully taught by Mo Tan, who has a "chaotic neutral" personality, for several months. Now she is able to handle many trivial matters independently. The Sun Priest Ai Fanye could not compare with Gaweier who had only 'studied' seriously for half a month.
Of course, this is not entirely due to talent. After all, no matter how hard Gaweier lives in an ivory tower, she is still the supreme princess of the Griffin Dynasty, even if she does not care about political affairs. , under the influence of years of experience, her starting point is also very, very, very high.
On the other hand, one of the first two Ma Zai who got the role of 'Tan Mo' is our classmate Xiao Ai. Her conditions and environment are much worse than Gaweier's. Well, to be precise, before leaving Pato City with her husband, Xiao Ai was just an ordinary village girl passing by. At best, she was a village girl who knew the three-legged cat magic.
All in all, Gaweier Logan may not be an outrageous genius, but when she made up her mind to no longer be a flower in the greenhouse, the energy she unleashed cannot be underestimated.
For example, she was able to forcibly integrate some small forces that were not very inconspicuous without leaving home, and secretly mastered a powerful force under the eyes of [Lion Eyes], although it was far away. Not a powerful one, but a force that should not be underestimated.
For example, although she was a few beats slow, she still guessed that Brother Chiwetel and Elisa might want to take advantage of Arthur's death to set off a storm that Griffin was destined to not have the last laugh in, trying to combine all the years of All efforts ended in one battle, completely dragging the Southwest Continent into the quagmire of war.
For example, although she was in a state of agitation, she still keenly caught the problem in Ji Xiaodao's words just now, and noticed something strange in it.
Gaweier clearly remembers that the time when Arthur knew that she actually heard his 'vulgar joke about goblins, murlocs and ogres' was during the Frost Moon Chant not long ago. On the 9th, the location was the second floor of the [White Lion Mansion] where I often stayed. At that time... I had just promised Arthur that he would find opportunities to come to the Chauvin Empire to play in the future, and both he and Arthur knew very well that that was not the case. More than a simple 'come and play' promise.
In fact, from that moment on, Gaweier Logan had made up her mind to entrust her life to the prince with a beautiful smile.
【How sloppy~】
After that, every time I think about how seriously I said to that guy, "I have to investigate," I feel my face get hot, and I feel that I was definitely possessed by a ghost at that time, and that's why I said such inappropriate words. Come.
There is absolutely no reserve that a princess should have!
It’s a pity that at that time, I had almost made it clear that I was willing to be with him, and I didn’t mind letting him accompany the man for the rest of his life. On the same day, which was the Frost Moon of 9571 in the Holy Calendar. On the 9th day of the chant, he was assassinated in the Scarlet Palace.
I have no chance to regret it.
Because he can no longer hear it.
From that day on, Gaweier Logan regarded herself as Arthur Bohe's lover. During this period, except for the night of Arthur's death and the rare ten-year period at the Sin Lord's Mansion where she was able to let herself go. Apart from crying twice a minute, the eldest princess actually did not follow everyone's conventional thinking and shed tears all day long. Instead, she has been working hard in her own way to try to track down the real culprit who killed Arthur.
She simply wanted to avenge Arthur, and had no other thoughts besides that.
This time, she took the initiative to propose to the imperial brother that she wanted to go on a mission to Chauvin with the envoy. On the one hand, Gaweier wanted to visit Troon, who raised Arthur, and on the other hand, she wanted to You must reach a consensus with 'potential allies' who have the same purpose as yourself, such as Arthur's good friend, Lord Sin, who must also be eager to find out the real murderer.
No one knows better than Gavel, who is a member of the Griffin royal family, how terrifying an enemy that always hides in the shadows and darkness can be. In fact, the opponent has the ability to hide in plain sight. Killing Arthur Bohe, the chauvinistic prince, then when his investigation reaches a certain level, in other words, when it is enough to pose a threat to the 'murderer', he may be solved neatly one day.
However, Gaweier was not afraid. She even felt that if one day came, it would be good to seek an explanation from someone who had taken the first step.
Failure and death did not scare her.
If you are lucky enough to succeed, then fight the murderer to the end. If you lose, you will die at most. If you win, maybe it would be good to become a nun in the Kaguya Sect or the Holy Alliance in the Northeast Continent.
This is what Gaweier thinks.
Very simple, pragmatic, generous and naive.
But for a girl who has just stepped out of the ivory tower, it is actually quite good to be able to complete this level of planning.
Then, impulsively, Gaweier sent an invitation to Silent Prayer, who she should have tried her best to persuade to help find the real murderer, hoping that the other party and the sin lord, who was quite influential in the Chauvin Empire, would put their lives first.
As expected and reasonable, the other party refused.
Then, Gaweier finally turned the topic to the blind spot that she had deliberately ignored in order to maintain a clear mind!
She knew very well that after the question was spoken, she would not be able to remain calm no matter what.
As far as he knows, Arthur knew about that incident less than half a day before he was assassinated.
During this period of time, although I was not with him the whole time, the time I spent apart was very few.
So, why exactly, why did the Silent Prayer Society know about this?
Gaweier stared at the pair of steady eyes just a few feet away, not knowing what she was expecting.
In fact, the most likely and reasonable explanation is that Arthur knew that Gaweier heard his 'vulgar joke' a long time ago, and just pretended not to know that Gaweier knew it. It wasn’t until recently that I suddenly realized what I was doing when I walked down the stairs.
Under this premise, it is not surprising that Mo and Silent Prayer, who have a close personal relationship with Arthur, know about this.
If Ji Xiaodao gave the above answer immediately, it would not be difficult to deceive Gaweier.
But, she was silent.
Ji Xiaodao was silent for nearly five seconds. He was so silent that when Aesop and Danni, who had gone to buy drinks, were about to walk back to the two of them, he said softly: "Let this question remain. Until the next time we meet.”
“Silent Prayer?”
Gaweier’s eyes widened.
"Then, the question time is over."
Ji Xiaodao ended the topic unilaterally rather arrogantly, and then smiled at Gaweier who was standing there blankly: "If I remember correctly, you should still Do you have a request?"
Gaweier took a deep breath, calmed down, nodded slightly and suddenly raised her little finger to point to Aesop who had just walked back: "Can you let him take off his helmet? "
Ji Xiaodao blinked: "What? "
The tall guard wearing the standard armor of the Tsarist Knights and looking like an airtight iron can was also stunned, and then stayed. Pointing to himself blankly: "Huh?"
"Your Highness?"
Dany also showed a particularly confused expression, looking very confused.
"Yes, I hope Mr. Aesop will take off his helmet." Gaweier repeated her request and said calmly under the astonished gazes of Ji Xiaodao, Danni, and Aesop: "This is my request."
After a brief silence...
"I understand."
Ji Xiaodao nodded and smiled helplessly: "If you insist, okay..."
"Mistress?!"< br>
Aesop was holding the iced drink blankly, and turned his head to look at Ji Xiaodao at a loss.
"Take off your helmet, Aesop."
Ji Xiaodao turned to look at him and said in an unquestionable tone: "This is the order of His Highness Gaweier."
Aesop coughed slightly awkwardly: "But, I am the one who added The bodyguard sent by Marshal Rahat to Lord Sin... "
"Your Lord Sin is not here"
Ji Xiaodao glanced at Aesop coldly and said softly: "I have the final say now."
"Okay..."
After struggling to no avail, Aesop reluctantly raised his hands and surrendered. Then, under Gaweier's steady gaze, he sighed quietly and slowly took off the pure black helmet made of rare metal.
The next second, a face that looked about thirty years old and seemed to have suffered extensive burns came into the eyes of the three women.
“Alright, your wicked princess.”
Aesop casually smoothed his sweat-soaked gray hair and glanced coldly at the dumbfounded man standing beside him. Gaweier Logan, who was in front of me, curled her lips impatiently: "Are there any other requests? Maybe you want me to spin around twice? Learn a few more Nikachu sounds? Nika ——Ni Ka Ni Ka—Ni Ka—Qiu?”
Dany immediately took a step forward and stared at the slovenly knight in front of her: “Watch your words, guard. What is in front of you is..."
"A princess with a bad character."
Gaweier tugged on Dany's sleeves and sighed as if all her strength had been taken away. She bowed slightly to Aesop in front of her: " I'm sorry, Mr. Aesop, I was too willful. As compensation..."
"Can you let me get off work early?"
Aesop answered quickly before Gavel finished speaking, shrugged and said: "To be honest, this is Troon. As long as you don't attack the palace on a whim, there is no danger at all, and that person Miss Dani is much stronger than me, so even if I am here..."
"No"
Ji Xiaodao said lightly.
"Okay, then there is nothing to compensate for."
Aesop rolled his eyes and asked rudely while playing with the helmet in his hand: "Then I can give this Have you put the gadget back on? Your Highness’s curiosity should have been satisfied, right?”
“Of course, Mr. Aesop”
Gaweier bit her lower lip. , with a slightly red face, said: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous, it's really...well...I..."
"Aha, you don't need to explain. After all, it's really strange to still wear this thing in this weather."
Aesop lazily interrupted Gaweier and put the helmet back casually. , said angrily: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it."
Gaweier: "..."
"Okay, ladies, no matter how impatient this person is, Mr. Ji Xiaodao stood up with a smile, took the drink from Aesop's hand, and clapped his hands gently: "The pleasant break is over, we are still here." It’s a full half-day trip.”
......
Game time PM19:47
The Chauvin Empire, the royal capital Troon, the Sinlord's Residence
After a sumptuous dinner, Ji Xiaodao personally sang the song Weier and Danni arrived at the door of the mansion and watched them board the carriage heading to the temporary mansion. They paused for a long time in the warm evening breeze before turning back to the courtyard where they rarely had the opportunity to bathe in the starlight.
"To be honest, sister-in-law, I really have no idea what you are thinking at all."
Not long ago, he showed himself as 'Aesop', but now he has returned to his handsome face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and short brown hair. He sighed softly and tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly.
He is wearing a style that is completely different from the Tsar's Sword standard knight armor. The whole body is made of some kind of invisible material, which seems to be made of some kind of synthetic material. He also wears this gorgeous full-body armor around his waist. A silver sword about three feet long, with wind always flowing around it, was completely different from his rustic appearance during the day.
It's not that he intentionally wanted to look more cool, it was because everything about him, including the armor, was part of 'White King Arthur'. It was fine to be separated from his body for a short time, but in Merlin Before the [Independent Body] project is completely completed, Arthur's existence itself will be in danger if he leaves this equipment for a long time.
That’s why he had to reappear in front of Ji Xiaodao in this fully armed appearance.
“In fact, many times I don’t know what I am thinking.”
Ji Xiaodao calmly looked at the lonely figure in front of him under the moonlight, and said lightly: "But I remember you seemed to have said that you wanted to take her for a walk in Troon yourself."
"Should I thank you?"
"There is no need, I just did what I wanted to do."
"Seriously, sister-in-law, you..."
"I am not suitable for this place. I'm tired of hearing this."
"..."
"So please stop stressing about this kind of thing."
