Jenkins didn't leave for a long time, and the cat under the moon and His Royal Highness only waited for ten minutes before seeing Mr. Writer trotting over from the other side of the path outside the wall:
"what happened?"
Dolores asked hastily, seeing the surprise on Jenkins' face that hadn't completely disappeared.
"Your father... is really a very powerful person!"
Jenkins sighed, then called out the [Book of Memories], and showed Dolores the scene he saw just now on paper through memory engraving.
It was the living room of the mansion. The Duke and another middle-aged man were sitting in armchairs and chatting. Although the other person has only one side face, Dolores will never recognize that side face:
"Father?"
Sitting with Duke Rodbyer is the king of the entire country, Salhi II.
In order to determine what was going on, after returning to Alexia with Dolores, Jenkins made a special trip back to Nolan to take a peek at Salhi II to confirm that the king was indeed in Nolan.
"It was so much fun."
He sat around with the two Stuarts and Alexia:
"I can confirm that Nolan's is a real person, and Ruen's is a clone made by extraordinary power."
This can be seen by virtue of aura.
"But I don't understand how this is done. Although there are some special items that ordinary people can use to make them exert their power, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person's consciousness to manipulate two bodies. This is absolutely impossible."
After Jenkins entered the Duke's mansion just now, he overheard the conversation between the Duke and Sarhi II. During the conversation, Sarhi II mentioned Nolan's current situation. Obviously, the king of Loen and Nolan's king have the same memory .
"Is Dolores' father the giver?"
Alexia asked Jenkins.
"Absolutely not."
There is nothing aura about Nolan's king.
"That is to say, there must be a gifter involved in this, and a gifter with quite superb means..."
Alexia pondered, "I know there are some methods that can achieve a similar effect, but the materials required are expensive, and the ritual requirements are very demanding. For ordinary people, it is almost certain that they will die after the effect ends. .”
Dolores pursed her lips and looked out the side window, preventing her teacher and Jenkins from seeing her expression. Adelina fiddled with her hair with her left hand, looked down at her shoes, and couldn't see the expression on her face either.
The two princesses knew their fathers well, and they knew that if the method Alexia said really existed, their father Salhi II would not refuse it. But this means that their father will definitely die in the near future. Although it is doomed because of a tumor in his brain, Dolores once thought about asking Jenkins to try to help after she succeeded...
Even if the relationship with their father is weak, the princesses don't want their father to really leave. No one wants to be a child without a father, especially if they are young.
Alexia saw the mood of the princesses, shook her head, stood up and walked out of the room, Jenkins followed.
"It's impossible for the organization called Tree House not to be interested in [King Soul]. I remember you once said that they appear in almost every battle for the emblem of the savior."
Alexia directly expressed her opinion. The two stood side by side in the corridor and looked at the bright moonlight outside. The red and blue double moons made their shadows entangled and reflected on the wall on the other side.
"You mean, Salhi II got the help of the tree house? It makes sense. I was a little confused a few months ago, why the people in the tree house would want to help Dolores' sister fight for the throne. It obviously does not match their purpose, after all, from the point of view at that time, controlling the secular kingship has nothing to do with the struggle for the savior of the world."
He at least confirmed that among the children of the Stuart family, two of them had definitely been helped by the tree house. Among them, Yani Stuart "repented of evil and turned to good" and has already separated from the tree house, while Lark Stuart died in the riots of the Snow Festival. The tree house has a strong willingness to participate in the development of the Hampawa Kingdom The battle for the throne.
"It makes sense to say that. The reason why the tree house is interested in secular power is because they learned about the ability of the savior of the [Uncrowned King] in advance, so they made arrangements in advance, and wanted to find the world by controlling the three kingdoms. Owners of the king soul, after all, they cannot directly see the king soul like me."
Having said that, Jenkins narrowed his eyes:
"I have received news from the church that there are traces of treehouse manipulation in the upper echelon of Cheslan Kingdom, and there are shadows of treehouses everywhere in the battle for the throne of Fidektli. It turns out that what they care about is not power, They are also looking for the king's soul. But why, the tree house actually learned about the [king's soul] so long in advance... "
"The difference engine in Nolan's underground, shouldn't it just wake up recently?"
Alexia cautions that she agrees with Jenkins' analysis:
"You also said yourself that the tree house and the gearsmiths are now allied. With the ability of that difference engine, it may not be possible to accurately predict the specific direction of the emblem of the savior, but at least it can be calculated that it may be related to the throne. It Since it is the source of all omnics, it is possible to have such abilities."
If the analysis of the two is correct, then Salhi II now has a "clone", and it must be the people in the tree house who are causing trouble. They still remember that earlier this year, after the Ice Festival riots, King Salhi II drove all his children out of the palace and lived alone in it, not knowing what he was doing.
Jenkins didn't believe that he was just recuperating in the palace. Something must have happened during this period of time, which led to the current situation where the royal family members are far away from the country and the king's avatar is controlling Ruen.
"It was so much fun."
But some challenges are fine. If things really go smoothly, Jenkins will suspect that he has fallen into a trap without knowing it:
"At least we know the cards of Salhi II. It has to be said that those who can sit on the throne for a long time cannot be underestimated."
He sighed to the short girl, and Alexia thought of the queen who had reigned for fifty years. Salhi II's contamination with extraordinary power obviously violated the "High Tower Agreement". Although the agreement restricted the church from interfering with the royal power, it had stricter regulations on the royal family's involvement with extraordinary power.
Since Salhi II can do this, Queen Isabella of the Kingdom of Fidgetli does not look like the kind of person who is willing to abide by the treaty honestly, especially in the current situation, she does not It's not that I like Jenkins, but I have other plans.
Dolores was depressed and didn't want to deal with other things tonight. And after discovering the secret of the dying king, Jenkins and Dolores didn't want to make a move tonight and startle the snake.
So after saying goodbye to the little princess, the three returned to Nolan. After comforting the depressed princess, Jenkins even hugged her with Alexia's gesture. Afterwards, he drove the maid back home, and by this time the lights in the house had already been turned off.
He went back to his room and changed his pajamas, feeling the heat in the bedroom, so while thinking about what happened tonight, he used [Ice Condensation] to condense the moisture in the air to cool down.
The cat happily jumped to the bed, and then suddenly let out a threatening "meow~" sound, which was like the sound it made when it "wrestled" with those squirrels trying to provoke Jenkins in the evergreen forest .
Jenkins turned his head to see the blond girl in her pajamas lying on the left side of the bed, then smiled and patted the right side of the bed. When I walked into the bedroom just now, I was so absorbed in thinking about things that I didn't even notice that there was someone in my room.
"Did you come home so late?"
Britney asked with concern while lying on her side, her blond hair was loose behind her, making her look extra slender.
Hathaway, who heard Jenkins coming home next door, showed the same expression as Chocolate at this moment.
(Finnie is praying... )
Although Salhi II's preparations and arrangements were beyond expectations, in the end it was nothing more than a clone made with extraordinary power. Dolores' plan would indeed be affected if the clone stayed in Loen, but Jenkins didn't think it was a very troublesome thing.
The next day was Saturday, and when they met in the morning, Dolores seemed to have accepted the fact that her father had borrowed the power of the Bestower at the cost of her father's death. It's just that although she behaved normally and was open-minded about her father's imminent death, even the stupid Jenkins could tell that Her Royal Highness was not in a good mood.
He had planned to take Dolores to the theater at night as a way of relaxing, but he heard a big news at Papa's antique shop in the afternoon.
"It's confirmed, the Three Kings' meeting will be held next Wednesday, which is the 19th day of June!"
Dad walked in quickly from outside the store with a newspaper, waking up Jenkins and the cat, who were drowsy together because of the warmth of the summer afternoon.
"Next Wednesday? So soon?"
Waking up suddenly from sleep, Jenkins leaned his head on his arm and tilted to the side, and his whole body almost fell into the chocolate that was sleeping next to his elbow. Chocolate let out a horrified cry, then curled up in Jenkins' arms and let Jenkins hold it for comfort.
The hazy drowsiness was dispelled, and he quickly understood what the old man meant. Holding the cat in one hand, he took the newspaper in the father's hand with the other hand. After glancing at the page, Jenkins showed a puzzled expression on his face:
"Why did you suddenly make a decision? Neither Miss Windsor nor Dolores mentioned this matter. I thought that this kind of matter should be explained at least half a month in advance."
Uncle knew that Jenkins was preparing for the throne, so he had no doubts about the two names he proposed.
PS: Ask for tickets at the end of the month, if you still have any.
