Chapter 778 The Witch King’s Sacrifice


Chapter 778: The Witch King’s Sacrifice

"What did you say?"

After hearing the report from the valet, Queen Veronica, who was immersed in approving the budget, couldn't help but raise her head in surprise.

"Has the princess of the kingdom of witches been found?"

"Yes."

After quickly glancing at the letter in her hand again, and confirming that the contents on it were fully signed and stamped, and that it was indeed the original note handed over by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the female official, who looked only in her teens, nodded and said:

"The Princess Caitlin of Miphala Kingdom suddenly disappeared for more than a month and was found by the Wu Nuo Association under the Grand Witch Court. Apart from some fright, she did not suffer any harm."

"That's it..."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Queen Veronica put down the quill in her hand and took the initiative to ask:

"Is the source of the information reliable?"

"Reliable."

The young female official nodded and said:

"This news has been confirmed by the ambassador to Mephala. After he learned the news, he immediately used his connections in the shaman society to find a way to meet the princess from a distance and confirmed that it was the missing Kate. Princess Lin is right

As for the seventeen major associations under the Grand Witch Tribunal, although two major associations, the Prayer Association and the Divination Association, expressed doubts about the identity of Princess Caitlin, the other fifteen major associations did not raise any objections. The credibility of the message is very high. ”

"Where is the Great Witch King? What did His Majesty the Great Witch King of Miphala say?"

"His Majesty the Great Witch King did not appear."

After looking down at the letter in her hand, the young lady officer speeded up her speech and relayed:

"The Great Witch King, who is more than 130 years old, had already stayed in seclusion three months before Princess Caitlin disappeared. She even refused to drink water and food. Almost no one has seen her.


However, according to the guards of the Great Witch Court, the voice of His Majesty the Great Witch King can often be heard. It is clear that there is only His Majesty the Great Witch King himself, but she seems to have been talking to someone. As for the specific content of the conversation..."

When she said this, the young female officer paused slightly, and then said with confusion in her eyes:

"His Majesty the Witch King seemed to be repeatedly trying to dissuade a very lively child from messing around with his Uncle William's homework books, not to always accept pocket money from his aunt, and not to pry into his parents' books at night. Door.

And in addition to these, there are some weirder things. For example, don’t wander around in other people’s dreams when you sleep. When you see the soul of a dead person, don’t always want to reach out and grab it. Don't put it in your mouth, souls are actually not delicious..."

"..."

What is all this mess?

After listening carefully to what the young lady said, Queen Veronica couldn't help but frowned in confusion. She couldn't understand what the Great Witch King was doing. After reading this part of the nonsense, the young lady put the hand in her hand. He turned to the next piece of paper and continued to report:

"In addition, although His Majesty the Great Witch King has not come out to cooperate in identifying the authenticity of Princess Caitlin, she is old after all and may die at any time, so the presidents of the Fifteenth Association have reached a consensus.


Regardless of whether His Majesty the Great Witch King comes out or not, the Kingdom of Witches will hold the Witch King Ceremony for the succession of the throne in three weeks. At that time, all kingdoms will be invited to attend the ceremony. Formal notes and invitations are expected to arrive within three days. ”

Will the Witch King Ceremony be held in three weeks?

When Queen Veronica heard this, her brows suddenly furrowed more and more tightly.

The family behind Joshua's mother was a branch of the great witches of the Kingdom of Witches hundreds of years ago. When his father was young and powerful, he used this to do a lot of business with the Kingdom of Witches, so the two sides are related. OK allies.

It's just that after he took over the former finance minister and sent the former queen to live with his father in old age, the attitude of the country of witches became ambiguous. Although the relationship between the two countries has not substantially deteriorated, and there are even many official exchanges, it is obviously not as close as before. Private exchanges are only less than 30% of the original, and many cooperations have also stopped one after another, creating a somewhat distant feeling.

Therefore, this Witch King Ceremony is an excellent window. If a messenger with enough weight is sent to express one's attitude towards restoring old friendships, it is very likely that the distance between the two countries will be narrowed again, but this The choice of messenger...

"What has the Prime Minister been doing lately?"

"Just a moment."

After turning around and rummaging through the pile of documents, and taking out a thick stack of itineraries, the young female officer said with understanding:

"The Prime Minister is going to the Kingdom of Morna this month to discuss the cooperative development of the Golden Township. Whether we can win the rich mines there is crucial to the kingdom. I'm afraid I won't have time to attend the Witch King's ceremony."
< br>

Indeed...it seems that the Prime Minister will not be able to go.

When Queen Veronica heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.

There are only five or six people in total who are qualified to participate in this ceremony. Not to mention Joshua and the former queen. If they go to the country of witches, they will borrow troops and people to fight back and try to launch The possibility of a coup is greater than the possibility of doing things for yourself.

The Prime Minister of the House of Commons has no time, and the position of Speaker of the House of Lords is still nominally Lyon's. He also cannot send out important officials with sufficient qualifications. It is impossible for him to leave the busy kingdom and travel thousands of miles to attend the ceremony, so...


I guess it’s up to Prince Lyon to go!

After thinking about the people around her and realizing that apart from carrying the old king on a stretcher, Leon was the only one qualified to do so, Queen Veronica couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead.

Although I had expected it before, my marriage was really not an ordinary one where people get together less and stay apart more often.

After he muddled through the wedding, he didn't do anything that really needed to be done. His prince went directly on a mission, and when he came back from completing the mission of the Cleanup Bureau, he still had to "send" it to him. "Mission", immediately go to another cross-border viewing ceremony, this is really...

"Your Majesty."

After taking a sneak peek at Queen Veronica's expression, the young lady officer tentatively suggested:

"What do you think of Miss Anna?"

"Anna?"

"Yes."

The female officer reminded:

"In addition to being the sister of Prince Lyon, Miss Anna is also the heir to the Lane family, and is currently the highest-ranking heir.

So as long as you write a handwritten letter on behalf of Prince Lyon, indicating that he is willing to voluntarily give up the title of Duke, then Miss Anna will automatically succeed as Duke Lionheart and take over the position of Speaker of the House of Lords. In this case, she will be qualified to serve as an envoy. You can also be with..."

"No, don't talk about this proposal again."

After waving her hand to signal the young lady to stop, Queen Veronica couldn't help but glare at her.

"You have so many thoughts! I really want to spend more time with Leon, but the price must not be tormenting Anna! Besides, I shouldn't directly make decisions for Leon. It's not certain whether he wants to go to the Kingdom of Witches or not."
