After the Legend

Chapter 182: The Prince of Melancholy

Views:

Anlong discussed with Hebie and other guards the security arrangements for the princes in the future. Considering that the disclosure of the matter would indeed have adverse effects, they decided to only notify the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Fortress and the Northern Intelligence Department of the Security Agency, and asked them to report it to the king secretly, and Send a team of elite soldiers to protect you. The eldest prince Hyatt's injury is not suitable for movement, so they have to temporarily stay at Viscount Mayton's Mansion.

Beryl later came back accompanied by Dora, still with a straight face. When she heard the results discussed by the men, she stared at Hyatt and asked: "Does His Highness also agree?" The latter hesitated. He nodded and said softly: "Beryl, Herbie is loyal and loyal. Viscount Mayton is also a person trusted by my father and your uncle. They will not harm us."

Beryl's eyes were red: "You will regret it! You have no idea how despicable those people are..." She glanced at Selig, bit her lip, and did not continue, but just regained her arrogant expression.

Selig's face darkened and he stood up suddenly: "Now that the matter is settled, I will go back to the room first! Brother, please have a good rest." After that, he nodded to Anlong and Hebie and walked out. Manda glanced at her sister complainingly, and when she saw that she was indifferent, she stamped her feet aggrievedly: "Beryl! Serig has long said that he will not hurt His Highness, why don't you just refuse to believe him?! "

"I don't believe him." Beryl said calmly.

"But you just clearly..."

"Hey, why are the two sisters quarreling?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Dora immediately intervened to stop their quarrel, "I believe Beryl trusts the second prince. No matter what, he will also be her relative in the future, Man Da must have misunderstood.”

Beryl didn't comment, Manda just stared at her angrily. Upon seeing this, Anlong hurriedly said that he still had official business to deal with. Ming Na took the first step, and Ming Na quickly left, but Dora stayed and asked the guests enthusiastically whether they were comfortable, what else they needed, whether they were used to sleeping in the bed, what dishes they liked to eat, and whether they needed anything. Send a few more skilled maids...wait. He also quietly asked sisters Beryl and Manda if they needed some new clothes because they were so tired. It seems a little embarrassed.

Hyatt expressed his gratitude, and although Herbie didn't say anything, he looked very satisfied. Manda was directly moved. She quickly became intimate with Dora, and as for Beryl, no one knew what she was thinking.

In the next few days, she was relatively content and did not cause any disputes. She just locked herself in her room all day long. In addition to visiting Hyatt's room regularly to take care of her, Selig is conducting her "magic research" in Manda's company. I smiled again because it was inconvenient to go out. The young couple was tired of spending time in the garden every day, and sometimes Serig would do so at the suggestion of his sweetheart. Afternoon tea with Dora. Manda loved getting along with Dora and said she felt relaxed and happy. Dora felt proud. He became more caring and kind to her, and planned to use this incident to stimulate his arrogant sister-in-law when he wrote back to Ito next time.

Mingna continued to pull Alex to study the contents of the legendary book on potions, translating, discussing, and doing experiments at the same time. However, she also had to prepare potions for the wounded, because after the family doctor's diagnosis, he believed that his medical skills combined with her potions could speed up the recovery of the wounded.

Alex comes only half a day each day. Left before dark. And resolutely avoid meeting those guests. Minna felt strange. He explained: "Strictly speaking, our Mandheling family is related by marriage to the Kado family, the Francis family, the Chulov family, the Heda family and the Sablin family (the family of the late Queen Miranda). Our ancestors have all been married to the royal family. Although our Mandheling family is not what it used to be, we still have some friendship with those families. However, my family has different opinions on the issue of the heir to the throne. The eldest prince is on his side. I'm afraid the locals won't be happy to see me here. And the second prince may also have scruples. Rather than being embarrassed to meet, it would be better not to meet."

Ming Na suddenly realized. Thinking of Beryl's wary eyes. She thought it would be better if Alex didn't get involved.

Although Alex was unwilling to meet the princes. But he is very concerned about their affairs. She also asked Mingna to try her best to prepare a good potion for the eldest prince. If the material is not enough. He is willing to provide. Minna immediately poached most of his collection without ceremony. Alex felt deeply at a disadvantage. He insisted that she prepare a few doses of a potion for herself that was difficult and time-consuming to prepare. The two bargained for a long time. Finally an agreement was reached. Watching Alex leave with a frustrated look on his face. Ming Na couldn't help but snicker. This time she took advantage of it a lot.

There is sufficient material. She prepared better potions for the two princes and the mercenaries. Not two days. The scars on Selig's body completely disappeared. Two more days. The injured mercenary can already get up and eat on his own. The minor injuries of others were all healed. But Hyatt. Do not know why. Obviously after taking medicine the day before. The injury has improved. It got worse the next day. There were some particularly deep wounds. Always bleeding from time to time. No matter what medicine is used, there is no obvious effect. Ming Na changed several special medicines. Just barely, the wound healed. But after all this trouble. Prince Hyatt's body has not recovered for a long time. And he has been weak and bedridden.

Ming Na ignored Beryl's questioning gaze and cynicism. I was thinking hard about the reason. Hyatt was checked over and over again. She always felt that there seemed to be a strange power in his body. Preventing the potion from taking effect.

While chatting with Alex. She mentioned it accidentally. Alex was silent for a long time. Then she cast a series of door locking, soundproofing, anti-magic peeking and other spells on the studio faster than she could. Then Minato whispered a guess in her ear.

Ming Na was shocked, but thinking about it carefully, she found that this possibility was very high, so she immediately went to Hyatt and secretly added a detecting agent to his tea. An hour later, chronic poisoning clearly appeared on his neck. Characteristics.

Minna did not hesitate, and immediately asked her mother to invite Serig, Manda and others to drink tea. She also asked the maid at home to find an excuse to send Beryl away. Then she quietly pulled Herbie, closed the door, and cast Magic revealed the fact that Hyatt was chronically poisoned.

Hebie immediately couldn't sit still: "What poison?! Who did it?! How is His Highness... doing now?!"

Ming Na hurriedly pushed him back and sat back: "It's not life-threatening yet. This is a chronic poison that has been lurking in His Highness's body for at least a year or two. Because the medicine is not strong, His Highness is just weak and prone to illness, and is very susceptible to injuries. It is difficult to cure. It would take at least three or four years for ordinary people to kill a person using this kind of poison, and unless it is tested with magic potion while alive, there will be no abnormality. Everyone will I thought people who were poisoned died normally."

Herbie's eyes widened with anger: "That's so despicable! Who did this?!"

"Herbie, calm down." Hyatt acted surprisingly calm. "Miss Mingna, do you know how I was poisoned? And..." His tone suddenly became nervous, "I...can I still be saved?"

"Of course!" Ming Na smiled. "I know an antidote can detoxify you. However, your body has been damaged by the poison and is very weak. It may not be able to withstand the effects of the medicine. For your future health, it is best to remove the poison slowly. At the same time, more Take some replenishing potions. It will probably take a long time." After a pause, he added: "As for how you were poisoned, I don't know. This kind of poison usually enters the human body through food. And judging from the amount of toxins in your body, I'm afraid it's quite a lot. But luckily, you haven't ingested the same kind of toxins in the past few months, so it's easier to treat now."

Hyatt didn't know why. Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Really? Then I will entrust my life to you. Please heal me."

Compared to his ease, Hebi's request was more solemn. He actually knelt on one leg in front of Minna and begged her to save his highness. Mingna hurriedly helped him up and glanced helplessly at the prince who could only smile: "Okay, I will do my best."

She was about to leave, but was stopped by Hyatt: "Miss Minna, can you please keep this matter secret? Apart from the three of us, I hope no fourth person will know about it."

Ming Na was confused: "You didn't even tell your brother and Beryl?"

"Yes. Please, don't tell them."

"But you need long-term treatment, at least two months..."

"Then let's just say that my injuries are too serious and my health is not good, so I need a long time to recuperate." Hyatt stretched out his hand to hold her, with a pleading look in his eyes, "Please promise me. I...I don't want them to worry, I don’t want any more conflicts between them.”

Mingna suddenly understood what he meant and nodded. When she returned to the studio to prepare the medicine, she didn't tell Alex, but the latter didn't care. He just told her that she had discovered something in the book that she had never been able to understand. The truth about a recipe. Ming Na immediately put aside other things and devoted herself to this weird potion formula.

During dinner, everyone learned that His Royal Highness the Prince was seriously injured and needed to stay at Mayton for a long-term resting place. Anlong and Dora were a little surprised, but they both said they would do their best to make His Highness live a comfortable life. The former also secretly planned to send a secret letter to the General Security Administration so that they could prepare in advance to avoid adverse changes in the situation in Ito.

Beryl was shocked and couldn't help but feel irritable. She couldn't even concentrate on the magic study that she was most interested in. She simply dropped the book and ran to Hyatt's room to find out what was going on. However, outside the door, she heard the second prince Serig telling Manda that he planned to return to Ito first and complete the final trial of this trip. A mission.

She rushed in immediately: "You want to leave?! Why?! Are you going to leave your injured brother behind?!"

Serig glanced at her: "This is what my brother suggested. My trial mission still has the task of detecting crop varieties along the Bebe River, which will take a lot of time. We were already delayed for several days. , and I must return to Ito to submit the report before April, otherwise I will not be able to pass the test. My brother said that he is just resting here and there is no need to waste my time. "

"Your Highness said so, are you going to leave?" Beryl had some bad premonitions in her heart and instinctively wanted to stop him from leaving. "He saved your life, but you didn't even do anything to take care of him until he recovered from his injuries. Can’t get there?!”

Selig blushed suddenly, and Manda said anxiously: "No, sister. Selig just obeyed His Highness's words..."

"His Highness has always been a kind person, but you can't just not care about him just because he is kind, right?!"

"Okay, Beryl." Hyatt reluctantly stopped his sweetheart, "I asked Selig to leave. He failed the last test due to an accident. If he fails again this time, he will be severely punished. My injury cannot be cured in a short time, so why bother him anymore? Besides, I live a good life here. I am taken care of by Viscount Mayton and his family, and there are so many people protecting me. There is no need for Selig to stay. Come down."

Beryl gave him a disappointed look. Is this prince really so stupid that he can't see Selig returning to Ito first? Will it cause him any harm? She sat by the bed and held his hand: "Your Highness, you also have a mission. Why don't you ask His Majesty the King to postpone the time for you two brothers to submit the report?"

"That's not necessary." Hyatt smiled slightly. "I still have nearly half a year, which is plenty of time. And what I want to do is observe people's livelihood in various parts of the country. Mayton is also a good observation object. Beryl, I know you care about me, but I really think , there is no need to drag everyone here for me. And you, your graduation test has been completed. You only have to hand in the report, why don't you say it? If you can't graduate smoothly this year for me, then I feel so wronged to you."

Beryl was a little surprised. But he was also moved by his words: "It's nothing... I can't leave you here."

"But you have always been number one! Didn't you say that a competitor told you that she must be the one who graduated first? If you delay the time of submitting the report, you will have to postpone your graduation for a year. , wouldn’t she be laughed at?”

Beryl's face suddenly became serious. She couldn't sit still at the thought of that ugly guy showing off to her triumphantly, but she didn't feel good about leaving Hyatt like this.

Hyatt continued to persuade her: "Go back, graduate with first place, and don't give up your glory to others. Besides, my father must be very worried about me. When you go back, tell him my situation in detail." , please rest assured, okay?"

Beryl didn't hesitate for long before she nodded. She suddenly thought that if Selig returned to Ito first, the people who supported him would definitely spread rumors to attack Hyatt. If she returned earlier than him, wouldn't she be able to take precautions first

They set off the next day, splitting into two groups, Manda and Selig. Since the mercenaries were unwilling to escort Beryl back on the excuse that they were still injured, she had to borrow a few followers from Anlong. . Herbie and others continued to stay in the Viscount Mansion to protect Hyatt.

Manda bid farewell to Dora and her daughter, and repeatedly invited them to visit Idong. Finally, Prince Selig became impatient and dragged her onto the horse. Beryl was very straightforward. She said hello, said a few polite words, and left. Anlong didn't say anything, Dora muttered a few words in a low voice, and Mingna turned her head in disdain, but accidentally discovered that the window upstairs had opened a corner, and Hyatt was leaning against the window with the support of Herbie, watching. Beryl went away, feeling quite lonely.

Is he reluctant to let his sweetheart leave

Minna thought this might be true. Because in the next few days, His Royal Highness the Prince had been in a low mood, and even the antidote and healing medicine had to be persuaded by Herbie for a long time before he was willing to drink it.

When Alex learned about this, he sneered: "It's a common problem among nobles to say one thing with their mouths but think another in their hearts, but it's rare to be so unwilling as him! Just go for what you want. ! He did it and then regretted it. He felt sorry for himself every day. I really look down on him!"

Ming Na blinked: "Huh? Are you saying that he actually doesn't want Beryl to leave? Then why did he persuade her to leave?"

"Who knows? Maybe he is deliberately testing?"

Test? Test what? Minna felt even more confused.

However, she also agreed with Alex's view. Hyatt was really disappointing. He seemed to have suddenly lost his motivation. He was listless all day and had nothing to do except stare out the window in a daze. And Herbie and the others didn't seem to know how to persuade. Often when he got tough, he wouldn't dare to interfere anymore.

This situation lasted for more than ten days. Mingna finally couldn't bear it anymore. She stopped the cold potion that Herbie had sent back, rushed to Hyatt's room, threw the tray in front of him: "Give it quickly. I'll drink it! The medicine I worked so hard to make is not wasted on you!"

Hyatt looked at her blankly, and Herbie and others hurried in from the door: "How dare you! How can you be rude to His Highness?!"

Ming Na put her finger on his nose: "I'm going to scold you! How dare you say that you are a loyal guard?! You know clearly that his life will be in danger if he doesn't take the medicine, but you still let him continue as he pleases?! He refuses Drink, just drink it! Like this!" She held Hyatt's neck with one hand, picked up the medicine bottle with the other and drank it hard, and wiped his throat. Hyatt felt a chill in his throat and swallowed the potion, but he was so shocked that he didn't know how to react. No one had ever treated him like this since he was a child.

Hebie pointed at Minna in surprise, his whole body trembling: "You, you, you..." His two companions carefully pulled on his clothes: "Herbie, she also means well..."

Ming Na raised her head indifferently: "What? Not convinced? Do you want to fight? Come on!" She raised her little fist, "I tell you! I won't take anyone like you seriously! Let me do it next time When I see you bringing the medicine back, I will beat you up! A guard who only blindly obeys and has no judgment has no value in existence!" She snatched the tray back and turned away. When she passed the door, she punched the side. The empty bookshelf, the sturdy wooden board shattered to the ground with a loud bang. She glanced at the stone statues in the room, snorted coldly, and strode out.

As soon as she reached the stairs, she suddenly froze. Dora stood there staring at her in shock, murmuring: "Oh, my God of Light..."

Ming Na coughed lightly and immediately put on a shy smile: "Mom, why are you still at home? Didn't you say you were going out to a tea party?"

Dora ignored her words and said to herself: "It seems that learning at home is not enough. There are rough people here. There are no real ladies except me. Mingna needs to know a real lady friend..."

Ming Na asked carefully: "Mom?"

Dora straightened her expression and said seriously: "Mingna, your uncle wrote a letter asking you if you want to go to the Magic Academy in Ito to study and learn the etiquette of upper class society. What do you think?"
