Naleta's words made Emma extremely surprised, but then she felt very normal.
Such things as political struggles can be seen everywhere in the palace. She has seen many of them before, so it is not surprising. The mother and daughter finally got out of the mess of the palace, and they didn't want to fall into it again.
Just thinking about her elder brother still lying in bed, Emma felt that it was still necessary for her to stay here and wait, and she had to take in Naletta, after all, she was very likely to become her sister-in-law.
Maybe the eldest brother can disregard family affection for the sake of the throne, but Emma feels that she can't be so heartless.
"Okay, no problem."
Seeing Emma readily agree, Naletta showed a relaxed expression. Although she heard that Princess Emma was a kind and gentle princess, she still had no idea. She knew exactly how bad the political environment in Wangcheng was now. She was born in a merchant family, and it was impossible for her to gain a foothold in this vortex.
The confidant of His Majesty the King is not willing to shelter her at all. Instead, they wanted to sell their daughters or sisters to His Majesty the King, and did not get rid of her. They were already very loyal to His Majesty the King.
And she also felt more and more that the danger in the palace was approaching. Two days ago, two maids beside her had disappeared.
Unable to stay any longer, in anxiety, she had no choice but to ask Emma for help.
Fortunately, Emma was willing to take her in.
Being dependent on others, Naletta naturally flattered Emma without any traces, usually talked and tried to please her from time to time.
Emma is not the kind of person who is very visceral, and it took only three days to establish a good relationship with Naleta.
At noon this day, the sun was just right, and Emma and Naletta were drinking afternoon tea and eating delicious pastries on the third-floor rooftop. On the grass of the manor in front of them, Sorilana was lying on her side, basking in the sun, obviously sleeping soundly.
In the eyes of the noble class, this is a very disrespectful behavior, but Naletta dare not take it lightly, she asked: "Ms. Sorilana, is it the golden dragon that those outside talk about?"
Emma nodded.
"I heard that you came back riding her. Are you a dragon knight?" Naletta's information source was obviously not good.
Now as long as anyone with a little strength knows that Solilana is Beta's mount dragon.
Emma shook her head.
"But as far as I know, the Dragon Clan will not allow anyone other than the Dragon Knight to sit on their backs."
"I have a pretty good relationship with Sorilana." Emma smiled and continued, "So there is no problem."
Naletta was very envious when she heard that, and she also hoped that she could have a powerful friend, a dragon, that is a dragon, with such a friend, she would not dare to walk sideways in the human world, but at least she would be safe and worry-free.
At this time, a guard came in from outside the door. He ran downstairs and shouted to the third floor: "Princess Emma, and Ms. Nalena, Your Majesty is awake!"
what! Naletta squealed with delight.
Emma also breathed a sigh of relief. She went downstairs and woke up Sorilana. The three of them sat in the carriage and walked towards the palace together.
On the carriage, Emma was surprised to find that the mercenaries on the street seemed a little excited, and were running to each other to tell each other something.
But now she felt that it was more important to see her elder brother's situation, so she suppressed her curiosity.
The commotion on the street at this time was caused by a very simple reason. The news of Wojin City's announcement of the selection of dragon knights came over.
After hearing that the selection conditions must be Woking believers, or priests of the God of Wealth, and temple guards, the mercenaries ran to the Temple of Wealth in various cities and asked: Is it too late for me to start believing in the Goddess of Woking?
It's no wonder they are so excited, that's Dragon Knight... the strongest profession in legend. Woking City was actually willing to take it out as a prize.
If my own dragon is a female dragon, wouldn't it be a joy to ride a dragon during the day and ride a man at night.
However, they thought too much. Among the several golden dragons in Wojin City, only Sorilana was a female dragon.
This is not a coincidence, but the Dragon Clan deliberately sent the male dragon here.
Emma entered the palace and saw her elder brother lying on the bed in pajamas. Although his face was still livid and he looked quite weak, he was at least awake.
Seeing Emma coming in, the young king sat up with difficulty with the help of the maid, and smiled: "Emma, I have heard everything, thank you for your help."
His Majesty the King knew very well that if he continued to sleep like this, within a month, something would happen to the throne. A king who can only lie in bed, even if he does not die from the curse, will gradually lose his majesty and control of the country.
"It should, after all, yours is my elder brother, and I don't want to see you in trouble."
His Majesty the King nodded gratefully, then looked at Naletta next to him, and said, "It's good that you didn't do anything."
Naletta walked to the edge of the bed, stretched out her hands to grab His Majesty's already somewhat thin hands, and her eyes were full of tears.
"You go out first. I have something to talk to Emma about."
Naletta left the room.
At this time, His Majesty the King looked at Sorilana beside Emma with some surprise. Although he knew that there was a golden dragon in Woking City, he didn't know what it looked like, so now he was a little surprised why this woman dared to keep calm in front of him and not go out with Naleta.
Emma looked at the expression on her elder brother's face, and understood what he was thinking, so she explained: "This is Sorilana, Beta's mount dragon."
Oh... The king narrowed his eyes slightly, then opened them, and said with a smile: "Welcome, Ms. Sorilana, I'm sorry I can't get out of bed to salute you."
Seeing Emma's face, Sorilana nodded slightly to His Majesty the King.
Looking away from Sorilana, the king said, "Emma, do you know what curse is in me?"
"The blood curse of the Zoroastrian Cult." Emma explained slowly: "If no one helps you to lift it, your blood will slowly heat up, and finally burn you to ashes like molten lava."
"What a vicious curse." His Majesty the King snorted coldly, and then said, "I know you don't like me very much, little sister, and I also know that you will leave the Royal City soon."
Emma didn’t refute, seeing that her eldest brother woke up, she really wanted to leave. This royal city was not a good place for her, and she didn't leave too many good memories here.
"After you go back, tell Beta to let him find a way to destroy the Zoroastrianism." The king's young face was full of murderous intent: "As a reward, I am willing to give half of the territory that the desert kingdom has conquered to the God of Wealth Cult." , to establish the kingdom of God on earth.”
Emma was taken aback: “You really want to?”
"Zoroastrianism must be destroyed." The king touched his heart. Even though he was in a coma, he was tortured by the curse. The feeling of deep darkness in the soul and severe pain all over the body can drive people crazy: "In addition , when you go back, bring Naletta to Woking City and help me protect her for a while."
