The Kingdom of Karut was attacked. The royal family members were attacked by foreign races such as dwarves and elves while conducting a hunting party. Except for Prince Andres and a few cronies who survived, at least half of the important people in the royal family and nobles were there. Killed in attack!
When this news was revealed, the Kingdom of Karut almost exploded. After the kings of Belrama were invaded by demons, and then the royal family members of the Kingdom of Karut were attacked at the royal hunting ground in the suburbs. At that time, scholars and analysts from various countries in the mainland were bombarded with waves of heavy news, and many people started talking about it and even believed that this was the prelude to a great turmoil in the eastern part of the mainland.
After the attack, the Kingdom of Karut almost entered the highest alert state. The alert level usually appeared during war. Both the royal family and the Senate had the intention to block the news, but they were suddenly transferred from the hunting grounds. There were too many witnesses to the incident involving the Guards and it was impossible to hide it. When it was said that many important royal family members and nobles were killed in the attack, and these nobles were booed by the group because their family members were killed, they wanted to block their mouths one by one. It is simply more difficult than reaching the sky, not to mention that there are some speculative forces behind it during this period.
At first, because most of the attackers were foreign nationalities headed by dwarves and elves, intelligence agencies from various countries believed that this was just a retaliatory attack against the royal family. After all, the Kingdom of Kalut has persecuted foreign nationalities in recent years relying on its dependence on the Holy See. However, the situation continued unabated. During this period, the lords of the Karut kingdom except the central royal family and the nobles of all sizes under their command had embezzled the property of foreign nations on various unfounded charges. However, just when some people suspected that this time Karut When the Kingdom of Te's vigilance was too lax, the information obtained from the follow-up investigation of the Kingdom of Karut made some royal families in the eastern part of the continent panic.
Devil-worshipping cultists!
Providing a large amount of military equipment to foreign nations, and even dispatching mages to use teleportation spells to transport foreign nations into the sealed royal hunting grounds at all costs. It must be said that this generous move has exceeded what ordinary assassin organizations can do. Even the lords of some countries may not have enough strength to mobilize so many resources. It is better to describe it as a frontal invasion than an assassination in the dark.
Recently, these cultists, who were once only regarded as scabies and leprosy, have become more and more destructive. Especially after the demonic invasion of the Kingdom of Belrama, cultists in various countries can no longer be regarded as just a rebel force organized by ordinary people. , but a real threat that can completely shake the foundation of the royal family and even destroy a country.
┉┉┉┉
This attack in the Kingdom of Karut caused turmoil, especially for the royal family, which not only lost many members of the family, but also lost all face because of it, even His Royal Highness Prince Andres, who finally escaped and returned in shock. There was no time to rest, but they were immediately involved in this sudden political storm and could not escape. However, the Karut royal family was fortunate that the envoys from neighboring countries were unharmed in the attack.
Of course, not everyone was safe. At least one of the two knight captains who followed Celine and Leonas to the hunting party died heroically.
In the VIP hotel used by the royal palace to receive foreign envoys, Celine finished bathing and walked out of the bath with the sound of water. The accompanying maid immediately began to wipe the body of the princess. Her smooth and smooth skin, which was originally as white as jade, was stained by the traces of running away. There were inevitably some scars caused by stumbling and stumbling. Although the best medicines have been used to treat them, there are still some light marks left on them that have not yet completely healed.
The personal maid who had served Celine for many years couldn't help but feel distressed: "Your Highness, please let us apply medicine to you later."
"I'll wipe it later. Next, I have to meet with the emissary of the Holy See."
After wiping her body clean, Celine put on a casual dress. To be honest, she didn't really want to meet people from the Holy See. However, the current situation in the Kingdom of Karut and the future situation in the eastern part of the continent will become even more important in the Holy See in the future. In front of the life-saving giants from all over the world, even the king may have to lower his dignity, let alone the princess himself.
What the Holy See wanted to ask them was not about the attackers and cultists, but information about the dragon Mikael who had left the hunting ground.
Celine couldn't help but sigh as she walked to the visitor hall. Although Mikael and Zero left quietly, they left too many traces, whether it was huge claw marks or piles of mountains under the rock wall. The animal carcasses all told it all, and the most troublesome thing was that the knights of the Holy See happened to be present when the mage used the flying spell to rescue himself from the cave. I originally thought that meeting the legendary dragon would be a secret to myself, but it seems that the goddess seems to be very concerned about the dragon appearing in her 'kingdom'. I didn't expect that the inquiry would come so quickly without even thinking about it. No time for myself either.
When the attendant opened the door to the visitor's hall, Celine also roughly considered what to say and what to conceal. However, the moment she stepped into the room, Celine immediately found that her eyes were deeply attracted by a figure. , a woman with dazzling blond hair like herself, her delicate appearance is particularly eye-catching among the people sitting around her, and she carries a noble and elegant temperament that is even higher than the princesses and queens of various countries, even if she is just sitting upright It seemed as if she was telling others about her pride.
"Hello, Princess Celine, please take a seat." The leading Vatican priest stood up and waved slightly.
Celine suddenly came back to her senses and sat on the empty seat reserved for herself, but her eyes still did not leave the blond woman directly opposite.
"I apologize for disturbing your rest after such a big event." The priest of the Holy See said quietly after sitting down: "But the dragon appeared in the secular kingdom, and after the attack by the cultists, the Holy See No matter what, we must not let go of any new threats that may arise again, so we hope that Your Highness Celine can provide us with as much information as possible."
"There, this is my duty as a believer of the goddess."
After some polite words, the blond woman who made Celine's eyes light up said straight to the point: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Berling Sa. I have some questions about the unidentified dragon." Just a moment┉┉”
Soon time began to pass little by little, and Celine discovered that Berlinsa's questions were more rigorous than she had imagined. Although each question seemed simple and direct, they all got to the center. And more importantly, Berlinsa seemed to be... Like an expert in dragon research, she is very familiar with the behaviors and life patterns of the legendary dragons. There are some issues that even Celine herself ignored subconsciously, and only recalled them inadvertently after Bellingsa asked. stand up.
Gradually half an hour passed, and Celine found that she was completely guided by Belinsha and could not take the initiative at all. However, none of Belinsha's questions were objectionable. She cleverly avoided herself in the use of words. The sensitive part, like the conductor of a band, prevents the person being questioned from feeling any displeasure or impatience, as if it doesn't matter if the inquiry goes on forever.
"┉A giant dragon with white dragon scales. Then, Your Highness Celine, did you feel cold on the dragon's body?"
"Isn't that true? It was very hot at noon."
Celine said clearly that there was no hidden value in these questions. On the contrary, she also needed to learn as much knowledge about the dragon as possible from Berlingsha.
Berlingsha thought for a moment and clapped her hands, then she said with a smile and an intellectual temperament: "Then let me summarize a little bit, when you encountered a crisis, the dragon with a more child-like mind brought you to its place. In a temporary lair, where you met another girl named Jieluo who was getting along with the dragon. Judging from the verbal conversation between the two parties, it does not rule out that she is the mother of the dragon. However, the cultist who later arrived in the cave turned out to be the mother of the dragon. The great mage Segel of the Kalsemmen Empire called the girl named Zero the chief of ceremonies, but the other party denied the title and drove Segel away┉┉"
"Then Zero and Mikael left me in the cave and left after noticing that the Knights had arrived." Celine also added.
"I have to say it was a thrilling experience."
Berlingsha said thoughtfully: "According to your description, Your Highness Celine, the giant dragon is very big. According to visual inspection, it is at least about 20 meters long and about five meters high. It can speak, and its tone is roughly like that of a little girl." The scales on the back are mostly white and the belly is black. Your Highness, can you think of any more peculiar features of that giant dragon? "
"Well┉this┉┉"
Celine couldn't help but think about it, but what she was thinking about was not Mikael's characteristics, but the somewhat intriguing attitude of Ms. Bellingsa. Apparently, Ms. Bellingsa paid more attention to the giant dragon rice than to the cultist. For Kyle and Zero, it seems that the cultists are nothing to mention in front of the dragon, and the dragon that saved them is even more of a huge threat.
"Can you give me paper and a brush?" Celine said after thinking for a moment, a subtle luster flashed in her eyes.
"certainly!"
Soon the attendant brought paper and brushes. After receiving them, Celine pondered for a moment and then began to paint quickly. Seeing this, Bellingsha also smiled calmly and asked the maid to make herself a cup of black tea and waited patiently. The important ministers of the Karut Kingdom on the side were sweating profusely and began to call their attendants to give some instructions. They were obviously frightened by the bombshell news that the dragon had run near the capital of the country. After all, the Karut Kingdom once had It has been invaded by dragon lizards. As a subspecies of dragon, the dragon lizards have a beast-like mind and can bring considerable losses to the Kingdom of Kalut. What extent of damage will a real giant dragon cause if it gets angry?
This is really a chilling thing just thinking about it.
After about ten minutes, Celine stopped writing. For a moment, everyone in the room who was originally thinking about it all focused their attention on Celine. After a few more glances, Celine seemed satisfied and handed over the drawing board. past.
After taking it, Berlingsha took a look, and a look of confusion suddenly appeared on her delicate face. (~^~)
