Chapter 173 The meeting between the prince and the princess
The recovery of the royal city of Selia greatly enhanced the prestige of the princess Irina. When she finally ordered all the troops outside the city to enter and station in various places in the royal city, and After all traces of Duke Rono were eliminated, everyone in the royal city realized that this would be a new beginning.
These people in the city lined the streets to welcome the princess's army, and celebrations were immediately held everywhere in the royal city. The excitement was no less than the major festivals here.
The eldest prince Cortes was sent out personally. He was also in an incredible state at this time. After all, from the time when Duke Rono mentioned him to the final capture of the royal city by Princess Irina, the time It’s only two days!
Cortes has not seen his sister Irina for nearly a year. The princess Irina entered the southern city to live, while the eldest prince Cortes led the army They fought with the rebels in the north until the sudden death of Emperor Mavia. Both of them were involved in a huge conspiracy, and dozens of months passed in a blink of an eye.
It wasn't until Irina returned to the royal city with her troops today that Prince Cortez felt like it was dawn.
The eldest prince was sent to the castle. The man said that the princess Irina would arrive soon, but Cortes was somewhat uneasy.
At this time, he had become a cripple, with one eye blind and one arm missing. This made Cortes somewhat unable to guess what the princess would say after seeing him.
Maybe he will dislike his younger brother, maybe he will be sarcastic, maybe he will cry bitterly...
"Cortez!"
The eldest prince was thinking wildly until a voice suddenly came to his ears. He raised his head and saw the figure of the princess Irina flashing in.
“Sister!”
Cortes hurriedly stood up, and the attendants beside him quickly came forward to support his body to ensure that he would not fall.
“Why are you like this!”
Irina immediately saw the missing arm and blind eyes of Prince Cortes, and she was immediately heartbroken. , and after several seconds, he said viciously: "Damn Rono, why did he die so easily? He should have been tortured and then died of despair!"
When Cortez heard this, he burst into tears. In front of his real relatives, the eldest prince, who had always seemed to be resolute, finally took off his disguise. He just cried bitterly, and it took a long time to calm down. God came, took a deep breath and said: "Rono did not torture me to death, he wanted to keep me as a stepping stone for him to ascend the throne and become emperor..."
Irina motioned to the attendants beside her to retreat first. Next, he comforted the prince Cortes with good words, and then changed the topic to the cause of death of their father, Emperor Mavia II.
“I once heard someone in the dungeon say that my father’s death was a conspiracy set up by Rono and some nobles with evil intentions.”
Cortes had a gloomy look on his face, He spoke out: "Rono is just a superficial presence among that group of people. Many nobles in the three independent countries before the Coman Empire formed the alliance still hope that Coman will be divided again so that they can live in small places. The plan to become king..."
Irina patiently listened to her brother's intelligence information, and waited until he finished before speaking out: "I already know some of this, and I have sent people to do it. After investigating these matters, we will have answers soon.”
Cortez nodded towards the princess Irina, then stared directly at his sister. After a few seconds, he slowly said: "Sister, there are quite a lot of calls in the city for you to be crowned emperor. "
After hearing this, Irina seemed quite calm. She smiled and asked: "What do you think?" "Of course I support Sister Huang."
Cortes pointed to his broken arm with his only remaining arm, and said with a sad smile: "The emperor of the empire cannot be a cripple. As the eldest prince, I have fallen to this end. This is my fate. Since the emperor has public opinion, it is best to take advantage of the situation and become emperor."
"What about you?"
"Me?"
Cortez shook his head: "Sister, just pretend that I don't have this younger brother. I have understood life and death and belittle fame, fortune and status. The identity of the eldest prince is completely irrelevant to me. It’s just a burden. I beg you, the queen, to reward me with a few slices of land so that I can rest in peace.”
The princess Irina stared at the eldest prince Cortes for a long time. Yes, then he sighed slightly.
“I do have a good place to go.”
Cortes looked at his sister in confusion, and learned from her a place he had never heard of—— An outpost somewhere in the south.
Princess Irina slowly told her brother about her experiences in the past few months, from the time she was chased by orcs and crossed the mountains, from the time she was rescued by an army with strange weapons, from the time she entered the outpost The base saw all kinds of fantastic equipment and tall buildings rising from the ground...
The eldest prince Cortez was fascinated by what he heard. He never thought that his imperial sister would have such a magical experience. I could never imagine the appearance of those strange creations described by Irina. I only knew that the outpost in Irina's mouth was a place full of miracles!
"...If you go, you will definitely be welcomed by them. Then you can definitely learn their language and their advanced technology, and eventually you can continue to shine for the empire."< br>
The princess Irina finished speaking with a smile, which really aroused Cortes' interest.
After being excited for several seconds, Cortes still looked at his arms and eyes with worry: "But I am in this state now..."
"The outpost has a lot of technology that is far beyond our knowledge. They call it 'technology'. They can easily treat seriously ill patients, even some magisters who are about to die due to the power of the magic curse!"
Irina looked at her brother with sharp eyes, "I believe there can definitely be some kind of technology there that can allow you to regain your left hand!"
Cortez hesitated for a few seconds, and then Nodding: "Then I will go to the outpost as the imperial sister said!"
Irina responded with a smile, saying that she would personally talk to the outpost about this matter. She seemed to have finished handling it. He breathed a sigh of relief as if it was a big deal, then turned to Cortez and continued: "The relationship between the outpost and us is extraordinary. After you go there, you must not be arrogant and domineering. The punishment will be small. The biggest thing is what affects the relationship between our two places.”
Cortez agreed with a serious face. He knew very well how Princess Irina got to where she is today. It is the secret and terrifying strength of the outpost!
The reason why the princess was able to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops in Brest City was because it was absolutely impossible without the force of the outpost to deter them!
