As a royal princess, Celine has not been a show-stopper since she was a child. Although she does not have an excellent physique to become the legendary knight, nor does she have a good magical talent to become a magical princess, she has great talents in music, dance, art, In terms of learning etiquette and other skills that a real princess should master, Celine has always worked very hard and achieved amazing results.
For example, the current sketch of Celine is very well done. Both the flying dragon Mikael and Zero are depicted vividly on the drawing paper. If a great painter's highest score for sketch is 100 points, then this sketch You can get at least 90 points when writing about Celine. Even Berlingsha, whose identity is quite mysterious, has to admit that Her Royal Highness, the princess of the Kalsemmen Empire, is indeed outstanding at least in terms of art.
For Berlinsa, this sketch gave her an immediate new understanding of the dragon named Mikael. If Mikael can speak and has clear self-awareness and wisdom as described by Celine, Then such dragons can indeed be classified into the domain category of giant dragons. The biggest difference between giant dragons and subspecies of dragons is that the former are intelligent beings while the latter are beasts that act on instinct.
As for appearance┉┉
Judging from the painting, Berlingsha felt that although Mikael's head did have all the characteristics that a giant dragon should have, its front claws were fused with the wings. Hmm~ It's more like a pair of wings than a wing. The glider wings of bats and some subspecies of flying dragons, no matter how they look, look a bit like giant dragons but not at all like them. To speak, they are like subspecies of dragons that have not completely transformed into giant dragons but have the characteristics of giant dragons. Wisdom is even dragon power.
Is it a new variety? Or is it the descendant of the Archosaur left over from the second generation
Berlingsha was also a little puzzled.
There is a bust of a woman on one side of the drawing paper. It is obviously the girl named Jieluo who walked with the dragon. Judging from her age, she seems to be younger than Celine, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Of course, this does not rule out that it is a transformed posture. After all, as long as the dragon is willing, it can change from an old woman to a young girl at will. In addition, Berling Sa also noticed the flower on Zero's right eye in the portrait. However, according to previous inquiries, Celine said that she did not know anything about the flower and did not know whether it had great significance or was just a decoration.
"It seems that you care about this girl, Your Highness Celine." After watching for a while, Berlingsha suddenly asked with a smile.
"Hey~ why do you think so?"
Celine stared at Berlingsha with a calm expression, but her heart felt as if someone had stabbed her hard and her heartbeat accelerated.
Berlingsha looked at the drawing paper again: "I know many painters. For painters, they will unconsciously put heavier strokes on the things that they appreciate when painting, and they will subconsciously focus on the description."
These words made Celine slightly surprised. She did have some special thoughts about the girl named Jero. Perhaps she involuntarily added a few strokes when recalling her figure, but there was something hidden in the sketch. It was difficult for her to see the few strokes of the painting. Berlinsha took the painting and looked at it and discovered some secrets hidden in it. Her powers of observation were too strong.
"Probably there are indeed some." Celine caressed her chest and said calmly: "After all, the first impression she gave me was too strong. When I was chased by the cultists and was desperate, she just said Qinghe made the cultists have to retreat. Even though they knew that she might be transformed into a dragon, it was really unforgettable to see a woman younger than herself with such a powerful aura. "
"Just like the knight who saves the princess in a critical moment, right? Your Highness Celine!"
Celine, who was watched by the smiling Berlingsha, secretly complained: "But this knight is a woman."
“┉┉┉┉”
I don’t know why Celine always felt that Belinsha didn’t completely believe her words. On the contrary, she still maintained a skeptical attitude towards herself and believed that she had concealed some important information. This made her feel very uncomfortable when she was being watched. Uncomfortable, although I did hide something.
After a moment, Berlingsha withdrew her gaze and regained her gentle temperament: "Then that's it for today. I'm really sorry for disturbing your rest."
"It's okay Ms. Berlingspa."
"Well~ Your Highness Celine, can you give me this picture?"
When the accompanying Vatican recordkeepers were packing up the relevant documents, Berlingsha held up the drawing paper and asked. Celine felt that this was completely knowing. Can she still say no at this time? Of course, Celine still extended her hand to indicate that Berlinsa could be taken away.
The staff of the Holy See are really difficult to deal with!
Celine, who is definitely not a pious person in terms of faith, was finally able to return to her room. However, Celine did not rush back to her room. Instead, she went to visit the injured Leonas immediately and talked with herself. After meeting his former mentor, Leonas had a battle with him, but in the end Leonas was still defeated. Sergel was so anxious to catch him that he ignored the former student who escaped. This time Jean Leonas managed to escape and was eventually found by the searching guards of the Karute Kingdom.
"Your Highness Celine!"
Leonas, who was resting in bed, wanted to struggle to stand up after learning about Celine's arrival, but Celine pushed him back down again.
"Stop being polite, how is your health?"
"I've almost recovered. It's just that the fatigue caused by over-casting spells that seriously consumed my energy will not be recovered for a while." Leonas rubbed his temples. His brain was still very tired. It felt like he wanted to sleep, but But I couldn't fall asleep.
The magic power was almost exhausted, and there were soft tissue contusions everywhere on his body. Fortunately, Leonas escaped the fatal attack on his internal organs when Segel distorted the space. Now he only has some muscle damage on his hands and feet, which is a blessing among misfortunes. . After being sent back to the Kingdom of Kalute, the pharmacists and doctors immediately treated Leonas. Fortunately, the priests of the Holy See were also present. With the help of divine magic, Leonas' body recovered in just a short time. Within half a day, he had almost recovered.
"That's good~"
Celine nodded and then asked with some concern: "Have you sent any news back about what happened in the Karut Kingdom?"
"I have arranged for embassy personnel to pass the message back, but so far I have not received a reply from the country."
"This trip was really unlucky. As soon as we left the border, we encountered all kinds of bad luck." Celine sighed and asked meaningfully: "Then, dear Chief Mage, what are we going to do next? Should we continue the journey as planned or wait until we receive a reply from China?”
"┉Continue the journey, Your Highness Princess, our ultimate goal is the Kingdom of Saxony, and the Posati family is also ready to respond." Leonas said with certainty after a moment of silence.
Celine looked at Leonas with complicated eyes. In fact, after being ordered by her brother Augusta to go to the Kingdom of Saxony, although Celine agreed on the surface, she still had some grudges in her heart. Her brother would not give up for no reason. He was visiting a small country in the far north that he had no contact with before. Something important must have happened in the Kalsemmen Empire, so big that his brother had to take a move similar to exile to protect himself.
Yes ~ protection!
Celine, who has had a close relationship with Augusta since she was a child, knew her brother's intentions very well. If it wasn't to protect her brother, why would she let her most trusted confidant go on the journey with her? Celine also knew that Leonas must also know about it. Although he knew that he was only following his brother's orders, Celine still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that the two of them always kept secrets from him.
Seeing Celine's somewhat indifferent expression, Leonas sighed and continued: "I just learned the news that the Holy See seems to have asked Your Highness, right?"
"That's right."
"Have the members of the Holy See made things difficult for you?"
Celine found that Leonas' tone was a little surprised when he spoke about the Holy See. She already had some clues in her heart, but she still said truthfully: "It didn't embarrass me much, and all the inquiries were focused on the dragon."
Although the attitude of the woman named Berlinsa was vaguely arrogant, the other party still maintained enough respect for her after the inquiry began. In fact, the Holy See has always been careful to maintain a positive image among the secular world. Under Celine's In my impression, except for using violence at all costs when arresting cultists, the Holy See almost always upholds the image of a good old man who says 'everything is easy to negotiate' in other aspects.
Even if you want to play dirty, you have to do it in the dark, and you have to wrap yourself in a shell of justice first. Except for organizations like cultists who are afraid that the world will not know their bad reputation, how can any country and force be stupid enough to do it in public? He shamelessly openly tarnishes his own image!
"The Karut Kingdom cannot stay for long."
Leonas sat up on the bed: "In fact, I have got some news from the embassy staff. Because of this attack, the long-term friction and conflict between the Karut royal family and the Senate may break out in advance. ”
"Why? Is there someone in the Senate colluding with the cultists?"
"The Senate must have vetoed it, but in this attack, a noble family that originally belonged to the Senate faction was blamed for being involved in the attack by the cultists." Leonas said here. Several people sneered with a mocking attitude: "A cultist altar was also discovered in the Kingdom of Saxony before, and after investigation, one of the cultist leaders came from the Kingdom of Kalut. After the Holy See in the Western Holy City sent the news, the Holy See They immediately launched an investigation together with the royal family. However, because the family belongs to the faction of the Senate and has considerable influence, the Senate, which is afraid that its rights will be weakened and its reputation will be damaged, has been secretive about the investigation of the family and seems to want to deal with it privately. Lose."
"However┉┉" Celine smiled bitterly.
Leonas shrugged and said in a disdainful tone: "However, because of the long delay, the cultists took advantage of the opportunity and launched this large-scale attack. Now the royal family is naturally trying its best to blame the elders in order to shirk responsibility. The hospital colluded with the cultists.”
"It seems we really need to leave, and the sooner the better."
When Celine said this, a glimmer of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her red lips inadvertently raised a subtle arc. (~^~)
