Alex always maintained a polite smile on his face, elegant and distant, but Jada felt his confidence and ridicule from it, and she couldn't help but feel furious.
But he is not an impulsive and reckless boy. Looking at Ming Na's familiarity with the young magician, he knows that their friendship is unusual. A conflict with the other party will only make Ming Na angry with herself and will do no good to herself. The marriage is not a foregone conclusion yet, everything is still possible.
So he ignored Alex and just smiled and said to Minna: "Princess Sarah and I both have our own ideas about this marriage, so... we decided to think about it again. No matter what, I have to go back to China first to calm down. Only when there is turmoil can we talk about anything else.”
When Minna heard what Jada said, she thought of his situation and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "By the way... I heard that Nomonka's situation has changed. Is your Majesty's condition serious? Is he poisoned? Variety?"
A sad look appeared on Jida's face: "I heard it's quite serious, but your king has promised to send several potion masters and doctors to me, and Van'a will also send people to help. After all, my uncle's matter is related to the Demon Realm. , the monks need to solve it." He mentioned the names of several potion masters and doctors, which were just told to him by Alfred III. After hearing this, Ming Na felt very relieved: "That's great. These are all very outstanding masters. There are two potion masters who are the best at antidotes. With them here, your Majesty will be fine." "But she remembered that there were two doctors who seemed to be from the Security Administration Medical Hospital? But she didn't say it.
Jada breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Then I'm relieved. Look at you, what did you do just now? Why are you so embarrassed?" She glanced at Alex's dress again, "I heard that magicians Able to take care of yourself in an instant, Mr. Magician...your name is Alex, right? Aren't you Minna's friend? Why don't you help her take care of it?"
Alex smiled happily: "This is a heroic medal, of course I must keep it." He winked at Ming Na: "If it is too clean and tidy, it will be too unconvincing."
Ming Na glared at him, but couldn't help but smile. Of course she understood what Alex meant, but she couldn't explain it clearly to Jada, so she had to say: "I can also grow magic, but Alex thinks other Everyone is covered in blood, but I am clean, so I am so out of place, so I was allowed to just...enter the palace."
"Others? Full of body?" Jada opened her eyes wide, "What on earth did they do?!"
"Go catch the demons!" Ming Na laughed. "The whole city is mobilized. Even several knights, out-of-city garrisons and security agencies have gone. We have purified all those who were affected by the darkness of the demons. The demons also killed one. Only one woman was missing. No trace of her has been found. However, our wanted map has been distributed. She can’t escape!"
Alex quietly echoed: "I heard that the people in the temple have dealt with her. Now the monks are trying their best to eliminate the remaining dark power in the Demon Realm. By the way. Duke Jada ~ Exit. I heard that you My cousin was also seduced by the demons. The monks of the Temple of Light are taking action today. They will definitely go to the Nuojia Embassy. Don’t you go back and see her? Although those who were tempted have woken up, their physical injuries are very serious. .I’m afraid it will be difficult to recover.”
Jada was shocked. But I thought it would be sooner or later. He no longer has extravagant hopes for that family. Maybe after Stella undergoes purification. On the contrary, it will get better. He said something casually to Alex. Then she turned to Ming Na. There was silence for a while. Then he said slowly: "I... am going back to China."
Minna blinked. Suddenly I felt a little sad: "Oh..."
"Will you go and visit me?" Jada's eyes were filled with longing. As long as Minna is willing to go. He will definitely convince her!
Ming Na hesitated: "This..." She now works for the Security Agency. After school starts in the fall. It’s time to go to class again. Where do you find the time to travel abroad? Wait until the college is on vacation. Mallory didn't have a job to give her. Maybe there will be some free time. But she still has to go home. Even if you go from Mayton to Nomonka via Maicheng. I also have to go to more than ten worlds.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Jada's eyes: "No? I thought... we could still be friends."
Ming Na hurriedly said: "Of course we are friends, as long as you don't do anything bad to East! Well, wait until next month..."
"Didn't you say you were going to travel next year?" Alex suddenly interrupted Mingna. Mingna was a little confused: "What?" She just thought that she would have enough time to go to Noga at the beginning of the school year, and she could also take the trip. Give Jada a hand, but when did she tell Alex she was going to travel next year
Alex smiled: "Have you forgotten? Didn't Mallory ask you to leave for a while? It's just for traveling. Time is too tight next month, and His Excellency the Duke will be very busy, right? He won't have time I might as well wait until next year to accompany you. You will definitely have the opportunity to go there." He blinked his right eye. Although Mingna didn't understand his intention, the tacit understanding she had always had made her nod, and then she said to Jie Da said: "I will visit your land next year, but don't tell others."
Jada held back the jealousy and sourness in her heart and twitched her lips.
I won't, you must come, I...I'll wait for you. "
Ming Na looked at him and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "You don't have to be like this, I...I can also tell when I will go." She began to feel that continuing to meet Jada seemed to be a bad idea.
Jada just stared at her for a while, then said, "I'll wait for you to come."
Minna became even more uncomfortable. Alex smiled and said for her: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will remind her to go. Please take care of yourself. I also wish you all the best and a safe journey."
Jada nodded lightly, took another deep look at Ming Na, and said, "I'm leaving. You must come." He took a deep breath, strode forward, and kept staring at Alex when he passed by Alex always smiled into the other person's eyes. Jada quickly returned to the queue, got on her horse surrounded by a large number of officials and members of the mission, resisted the urge to turn around, and ran straight ahead.
The sad parting time has passed, and there are still many things waiting for him to do.
Mingna watched him leave, feeling a little uncomfortable, so Alex comforted her: "I haven't seen you for several years, and I haven't seen you missing him. Why are you so sad today? Anyway, we will meet again next year, so be happy." .”
Ming Na gave him a confused look: "Are you really planning to ask me to meet him next year? How can Mallory agree? And I don't have time next year?"
"This is easy." Alex smiled slightly, "Although His Excellency the Duke said that the engagement has not been finalized, he is always very cautious about this kind of marriage between the two countries. By the time he returns to quell the civil strife, it should be winter, and the northern wind If the road is snowy, Princess Sarah will have to get married, at least until next spring. I think there will be no shortage of people from the Security Administration in the wedding party. You are familiar with Noga, tell Mallory, he will probably Promised."
Ming Na suddenly realized it, but as soon as Sarah was about to marry Jada, she felt weird and felt uncomfortable. She curled her lips and said: "I don't want to marry her! She will definitely cause trouble for me!"
"Then don't participate in the wedding ceremony." Alex said, "We can do it secretly and collect information on the way. If you don't want too many people to know, don't tell others. Let's find a place to stay in Nomonka. Quietly send a gift to the Duke at the wedding to congratulate him on his wedding. He will be very happy."
"Really?" Ming Na was very doubtful, and was quickly attracted by a word in Alex's words: "You said 'we'?"
"Of course." Alex smiled, "How can you travel without me?" He spread his hands and sighed: "I had a fight with my father because of him, and he was furious. , I’d better go out to avoid the limelight, and it’s best not to even go back to the Green Room. Is there any room available in your rose garden? Please take me in!”
Ming Na saw his pitiful look and smiled: "It depends on my mood." She tilted her chin and raised her eyebrows, making Alex sigh, and she was amused again.
"Why are you still here? You are obviously walking faster than us?" Bevin's voice came from behind. Minna and Jada looked back, only to see him looking at them doubtfully, followed by several people who attended the morning meeting. A high-ranking knight in the demon-killing operation.
Ming Na smiled and said: "I'm delayed because of something. Are you going to enter the palace now? Let's go together!"
In the main hall of the palace, in addition to ministers and officials, many nobles who were invited were also present. The second prince Serig accompanied people from Xiao... Ka's family came in, shook Manda's hand, and happily Standing beside the brothers.
Everyone held their breath and listened quietly to the king's announcement of several major events: "Hyatt is my eldest son. He has been studying government affairs for many years. Although there are still shortcomings, his ability has been proven. I plan to give him more Give him more training and let him learn other aspects of affairs. Ministers should also help him and guide him more."
After a moment of silence, the ministers responded "Yes." The queen was anxious and was about to express her objection, but the king preceded her and said: "Hiatt has been an adult for a long time, and his marriage should also be put on the agenda. I repeat After considering and asking for the opinions of Hyatt and relevant people, we plan to hold his wedding before the end of this fall."
As soon as he said these words, others were fine, but Beryl, who came with her parents, was shocked and looked up at Hyatt in surprise, but the latter just lowered his head and did not look at her.
A minister cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, which family's daughter did you choose for the eldest prince?"
"She is the daughter of Marquis Delman." The king seemed not to hear the exclamations of everyone in the hall, and just smiled and said, "Antonia is very beautiful, I believe she will become an outstanding queen."
The Marquis of Delman he mentioned is also an ancient and famous family in East. Although it is not as old as the eight major Duke families of the founding of the country, it is still a family that has lasted for hundreds of years. When Nicodemus the Great invaded East, the first head of the Delman family was just an ordinary officer in Ito City, but he showed his prowess in the battle to defend the city. After the war, he assisted in the reconstruction of the capital, made great contributions, and was named Viscount, hereditary. The demonic invasion more than a hundred years ago,
Viscount Delman is the general of the northern fortress, leading his soldiers in bloody battles in the misty wasteland. The king named him a marquis, and his eldest son inherited the title. But not long after that, the Delman family left the army and returned to the territory. Few of their descendants joined the army. Even if they did, they only left after a few years of experience without seeking high positions.
This family is very low-key and has a unique style. It can be said that it is incompatible with the entire East aristocratic circle. Their territory is located on the southeast coast, between Gutenberg and Manado. It is about the same size as Mayton and has very good conditions. It is said that their family also participates in shipping lines in several major ports, and their annual income is countless. But their whole family, no matter men, women, old or young, insisted on living in a manor in the countryside. There were only a few servants in the house, and the family members had to cook, make wine, clean, and feed the horses themselves...
But a simple life does not mean that the people in their family are not decent nobles. Every child of the Delman family will go to Ito for a study tour when they are eighteen years old. Their talents, learning, and demeanor are no less than those of the children of any great nobles, and they are even more capable and sharp than them. Most of the people they marry are from families with a low-key style, especially families with a strong academic atmosphere. The current dean of the Ito Noble Academy has a wife from the Delman family, and the former vice dean of the Magic Academy married his daughter to a descendant of his family.
Some people say that each of the men of the Delman family is a good hunter and horseman, and is also proficient in several talents. The women of the Delman family, whether they are noble ladies or peasant women, can be competent and happy.
This generation of Delman has only one daughter... Miss Antonia. Not only is she beautiful, she also had excellent grades during her study tour in Ito and was given the opportunity to study in Shaonan. Her ability to manage a house is outstanding. Because her mother passed away, she took over the entire family's housekeeping at the age of twelve and managed it in an orderly manner. Even though the noble ladies of Ito would sarcastically say "noble farmers" when talking about the Delman family, they had nothing to say about her.
Miss Antonia has just turned twenty-one. Since she has never appeared in Ito's social scene, the noble ladies have never thought that she would be a candidate for the future crown princess. But as soon as the king said her name, everyone in the venue was impeccable. At most, he only thought that her family was not "noble".
The king said: "I just need to use the good family tradition of the Mann family to bring some changes to Ito. Now Ito has undergone very bad changes, and I feel deep pain in my heart." He glanced lightly below. After one glance, I couldn't help but shudder, but someone still asked reluctantly: "Miss Delman's conduct is impeccable, but regarding her family's unique style, do you think it is really suitable for East?"
The king sneered: "Then what kind of style do you think is suitable for East? Jewelry and fine clothes, dances and tea parties, or women's whispers spreading gossip, or men's gambling to compare the number of lovers?! All of these! East! No need!" He stood up suddenly: "I know better than you what kind of queen East needs! Antonia is the most suitable, and Hyatt also agrees with me. You don't need to express your opinion. !”
Hyatt smiled and bowed to his father: "Yes, father, I am very happy."
After hearing their words, no one dared to say anything. On the other hand, Beryl's originally pale face became even paler. She stared at Hyatt blankly and did not keep asking questions about her mother in a low voice. She didn't understand why he didn't choose her. Hasn't he always been obsessed with her? Her appearance, talents, and family background are all no less inferior to Antonia's, and she has known him for many years!
Hyatt seemed to feel her =:light and turned his head. Her eyes lit up and her expression became even more eager. But to her disappointment, Hyatt said nothing and turned back calmly. She swayed and looked at her sister who suddenly became radiant. Her heart felt like a knife.
The reason why Manda is happy is that the king has announced her marriage to the second prince Selig. They will be engaged on Selig's birthday in November, and the wedding will be held next spring. Selig turned his head and looked at each other. The two looked at each other, feeling extremely sweet.
The queen sat there with a livid face and her hands shaking slightly. She had a bad premonition, and sure enough, she immediately heard her husband say: "Selig is married, even if he is an adult, I have already decided the location of his territory. There is a fertile land in the middle and lower reaches of the Bebi River, named For the sake of Coras, I gave this land to my second son, hoping that he would protect it well.”
Selig had known about this for a long time, and he went out happily and bowed to his father: "Please don't worry, father, I will definitely..."
"Wait a minute!" The queen stood up excitedly. She couldn't bear it anymore. She stared at her husband fiercely: "I have objections to this matter!" She quickly looked at several ministers and motioned for them to speak.
The ministers looked at each other and their expressions became serious.
At this time, Guoyue frowned, picked up the cup next to him, and wanted to drink the wine inside.
