After bidding farewell to the elves and returning to Loen, the ladies also came back. Dolores looked tired, but Alexia looked radiant. Of course, chocolate is the most spiritual thing. Although it has maintained the same routine as Jenkins since it was adopted by Jenkins, cats are nocturnal creatures after all, and chocolate sometimes sneaks out for a few laps at night. Jenkins Know.
Alexia, Dolores, and Julia were not injured, but the situation in the city was not optimistic. And because of this incident, all the private soldiers that Dolores had deployed in the city to prevent accidents were exposed, and the club she used to gather followers and hold meetings was also exposed, all of which were troublesome things.
Of course, most of the other Stuarts also encountered this situation, so Dolores was not the only one who was troubled.
Jenkins conveyed to Dolores the admonition of Mr. Rosière, the demigod of the church, and Dolores also expressed her understanding with a bitter face. When Jenkins asked if it might really be related to her brothers, Dolores thought about it and replied hesitantly:
"My older brothers and sisters all know about the bestowers and supernatural beings. There is no doubt about it. Everyone will hire supernatural beings, but it's hard to say where those supernatural beings come from. I used to know that my elder sister, Yani Si Tuart has connections with [Tree House], accepting their help and giving money and some rights in return, but since the riots two weeks ago, she has distanced herself from that organization, which the church should also know .”
So now other than the eldest princess, everyone else is also suspected. The exhausted Julia sent new information while everyone was talking. The intelligence stated the forces and locations where these exposed private armed forces belonged. After a simple analysis, the power of the prince's faction was the least exposed.
"But it doesn't mean that the demigod of the tree house this time has something to do with the eldest prince. There are too many possibilities, and it doesn't seem to be good for anyone to do so."
Jenkins agrees, says Julia.
Probably because there was too much commotion at night, while Jenkins was still reading the newspaper early on Wednesday, the herald who came once last week came to the manor again, but this time to let Dolores and Agelina enter the palace .
"All princes and princesses have been summoned by His Majesty. You must be prepared. Your Majesty is very angry this time."
After receiving the banknotes that Jenkins put in his palm when shaking hands, the herald said carefully, and then left.
Because he was worried about Dolores, Jenkins did not go to Nolan this morning, but stayed in the manor with Alexia and waited for the two princesses to return. They didn't go for long, and returned in a carriage at lunch time.
"It's nothing serious. My father scolded us one by one, scolding us for causing trouble everywhere."
Dolores said with an unhappy face, and the little princess behind her also had the same expression.
"It's been a long time since I saw my father's expression like this. I think he's probably really angry."
In addition to reprimanding these young people and gathering his children together again after two weeks, Salsi II also announced some important things, such as succession to the throne.
"Father told us very clearly that he will choose someone to inherit the throne at the end of this summer. He wants us to understand what kind of rights and responsibilities we have as a king, and he also hopes that we can face up to rights, so—everyone Chances are, that's what my father said."
Hearing what Dolores said, Jenkins and Alexia looked at each other, almost knowing what would happen next.
"So father asked us to settle down a bit. If you have the intention to fight for the throne, you should concentrate on being in charge of your current government affairs, and then wait for his review and summary in a few months; if you don't have that intention, just stay at home honestly." Come on, don't meddle in other people's affairs."
These are probably the original words of Salci II. It sounds normal, but anyone with a little bit of historical knowledge knows that the struggle for the throne has never been so simple. Even if the current king clearly stated that the final result will be determined by the level of government affairs, Jenkins does not believe that no one will use off-site means.
"How does his physical condition look?"
Alexia asked again.
"It's the same as Jenkins' description when he entered the palace a few days ago. He looks very energetic and speaks with confidence. He scolded us for half an hour, but there was no change in his face."
This reprimand probably left a deep impression on the princess and the princes.
While this conversation was enough to change some important decisions, the big priority now is disaster relief. At least on the surface, the Stuarts would cater to what their father called "concentrating on government affairs", so the performance of disaster relief is extremely important.
Dolores was in charge of the finance department with great responsibilities, so after a rest at home, she went to town again with her sister and Julia. Alexia was going to stay in the manor to study the books she got from the royal library and look for clues about the mad poet. She asked Jenkins what he was going to do today, and Jenkins dragged her to the study mysteriously, and then It shows the slab with a depression filled with white gems.
Alexia keenly noticed that his action of taking out the slate was not like the usual [reading and writing], but rather like the action of bringing up the mechanical beauty of the miner's lamp.
"Jenkins, what does this mean?"
"I also really want to know what's going on. Last night I read and wrote this slate in the church. I wanted to study it again, and then this white gemstone appeared. And there are more serious things. Remember the tree root we ate in the secret place where the silver cube was sealed, I got a new blank bubble because of it, but now that bubble is filled."
"Have you obtained [Son of Calamity]?"
Alexia asked in surprise.
"No, I encountered a situation that I have never encountered before. This is a semi-finished ability, but I can't even get any information about it."
As Jenkins spoke, he summoned all his abilities, of course, only he could see them.
"I have no way of knowing what kind of ability this is. After activation, the effect is only to summon this slate... Sit down, let me tell you what happened last night. That potion is not a potion. I went to the World Tree At the very bottom of the wreckage of the past, met a politely spoken memory there...”
