Although Hao Ren already knew about Princess Knight's aggressive and rough style, he never expected that her problem would become worse after returning home—in fact, anyone who knows Veronica would not be so surprised, because everyone knows All the talent points of this princess with outstanding martial arts skills are added to marching and fighting and personal force. Once she leaves the battlefield, the turmoil she caused can almost fill every book in the Tower of Mysteries, even the kingdom's most powerful Wise scholars will not be willing to find out how many disasters this princess has caused since she was a child.
Standing among the flowers, Arnia immediately knew that her sister was confused again. This gentle girl who had exactly the same appearance as Veronica but had an almost opposite temperament smiled: "Sister, the imperial city is safe. —Can you stop thinking I'm lost every time you don't see me in the room?"
Veronica looked at her younger sister and then at Hao Ren, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Uh... mainly because I heard that you were sick, and if you still go outside under such circumstances, I'm worried about you." fainted somewhere."
"Thank you sister for your concern. I'm fine now," Ania smiled. "Mr. Aberton said that I can get out of bed and walk around, which is better for my health."
Then she nodded to Hao Ren: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, my sister has always been like this. In fact, I did get lost once when I was young, and she was very nervous about this kind of thing after that time."
Veronica coughed twice: "Ahem, that's all happened when I was a child. Master Guardian, let's go into the house to talk, and I will take you to meet my brother Andrew."
When Hao Ren heard this, he pointed curiously at the little boy under her armpit: "Uh...then who is this?"
The little boy who was caught under Veronica's arm was already blushing at this moment, struggling with dancing and whining, but our knight princess seemed to feel it at this time, she looked down and suddenly Shocked: "Andrew! Why did you run out?"
His Royal Highness continued to struggle, breaking Veronica's arm with his hands, and began to roll his eyes...
Veronica finally came to her senses, and hurriedly put the little prince on the ground. The poor prince was about to foam at the mouth at this time, and after falling to the ground, he wobbled for a long time before he stabilized, and then he flattened his mouth. He was about to cry, but in the end he forced himself to hold back, and replaced it with a series of violent coughs—he was recovering better than Arnia, but now he looked like he was the worst patient on the scene again.
The nearby royal guards all stared into the distance, their faces were flushed from the suffocation, and their necks were thickened...
After a series of ironic incidents, the three members of the royal family and Hao Ren finally entered the room. The maids brought tea and exquisite snacks, but maybe the embarrassment just now hadn't passed, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward .
Hao Ren also has the opportunity to take a closer look at Veronica's younger siblings at this moment—Ania doesn't need to go into details, except for her temperament and clothing, she is almost a slightly smaller version of Veronica. It's just that he looked a little thin because he didn't get involved in martial arts. Hao Ren was more concerned about the little prince: Andrew looked about ten years old. The man is actually ready to be on his own, but His Royal Highness has not shown the slightest ability in this area. He looks thin and weak, and his eyes do not have the bright light like Ania, just like an ordinary Like a little boy, he sat on the chair and squirmed a lot of biscuit crumbs on his gorgeous clothes. He held a snack in one hand and a straw in the other: this prince is seriously giving Blow bubbles in the tea.
As if noticing Hao Ren's gaze, Andrew suddenly raised his head, and then sat back rather cautiously.
Obviously, he still lacks the bearing and courage that the royal family should have.
At yesterday's banquet, Hao Ren happened to hear rumors about Rudolph III's children from the whispering conversations of some nobles. It is said that the king's twin daughters are the pearls of the kingdom, and Ania is extremely intelligent. There is also extremely high magical talent. Although Veronica has a troublesome personality, she is a talented warrior and is good at military strategy. Only the little prince Andrew is almost without talent—including any talent, and his personality is also good. Nothing to redeem.
Now it seems that the situation is really the same as the rumors.
It's just that the affairs of these royal heirs are not the focus of Hao Ren's attention. He is concerned about the health of Ania and Andrew. When Rudolph III mentioned this matter that day, Hao Ren keenly felt that the king's worries were not as simple as the children's illness. There was a pause when Arnia and Andrew were "sick".
These things have nothing to do with him, but they are Veronica's relatives after all, so he still wants to pay attention.
Hao Ren glanced over the faces of the prince and princess, and noticed that their faces were slightly pale, their lips were a little dry, and although their eyes had recovered, they were still a little tired. But this is a normal situation after recovering from a serious illness, and there seems to be no abnormality.
Veronica also just spoke at this time: "Why do you suddenly get sick when you're fine?"
Arnia shook her head: "Probably the recent weather changes have infected the wind and cold. Mr. Aberton said that many people have been sick recently, all of which are related to the weather. Although the dark side of Karnos cannot be projected inside the barrier of order, but After all, it will affect the climate of the world of order. Recently, there have been frequent strong winds and sudden rain and snow on the plains, and the mages are already trying to find ways to artificially adjust the weather."
"I heard His Majesty the King say it's very serious. A cold can cause you to stay in bed for so many days?" Hao Ren interjected, "Are you two often sick?"
After Arnia heard this, she couldn't help but glanced at Hao Ren, and slowly shook her head: "I have been weak since I was a child, but Andrew is very healthy. He hasn't been sick in the past few years."
"Actually, I know a little bit about medical skills," Hao Ren said nonsense, "especially some ancient diseases. Can you tell me about your symptoms? I'm worried that you are infected with some ancient infectious disease."
Veronica frowned: "It can't be so unlucky."
Arnia hesitated for a moment before slowly saying: "The illness is very common, that is, fever, weakness, general weakness, so severe that I don't have the strength to get up at all, other than that, there are no signs of disease on my body. The warlocks once thought that we It was cursed, but this possibility was also ruled out after inspection, and the magicians also ruled out the possibility of being corroded by elements. In the end, the special medicine prepared by the alchemist played a role."
"Special medicine?" Hao Ren asked with a frown.
Arnia casually took out a crystal bottle from an exquisite small box on the table: "This is it."
Hao Ren took the crystal bottle and found that there was still about one-third of the bottle of colorless transparent liquid in it. After unscrewing the bottle cap, a wonderful fragrance of flowers wafted into his nostrils. Putting a little in his mouth, there was no abnormality.
He returned the crystal bottle to Arnia: "The alchemist is the Mr. Abaddon you mentioned just now?"
"Yes, he was recommended by Grand Duke Rune. It is said that he is best at refining various medicines for curing diseases."
"Grand Duke Luen?" Hao Ren frowned. He was not interested in the noble system of the Talos upper class, not to mention the large number of nobles in the Kingdom, and their relationships were intricate. To figure out who the son is, it's even more impossible for him, a newcomer, to figure it out.
It's just that this Grand Duke Luen sounds like a high-ranking person, and there are probably few people in the upper echelons of the kingdom who can compare with him. He should have some impressions, but at this time he can't remember it at all.
Hao Ren thought about it carefully, and felt that the main reason was that he ran away just after the opening ceremony of the banquet last night, and didn't participate in the second half of the link of forming cliques and identifying relatives...
"It's normal if you don't know," Ania smiled. "He is my father's most trusted right-hand man and the kingdom's leading official. You should have many opportunities to meet him in the future. He is not easy to get along with. people, but they have always acted fairly, maybe you can talk about it."
"Oh, oh..." Hao Ren nodded perfunctorily, and asked again, "Have you touched anything before you got sick? For example, food you haven't eaten before, or unfamiliar utensils."
"These questions have been asked many times, of course not," Ania shook her head, "We eat and use the usual things, and even the people we come into contact with every day are acquaintances, which is unlikely to be the case. reason."
At this time, even the slow-witted Veronica felt the weird atmosphere lingering in the question and answer between Hao Ren and Ania, she frowned nervously: "Wait, Lord Guardian, do you doubt..."
Ania glanced at her sister with a smile. She waved the attendants in the room to retreat, and then said flatly, "He suspects that someone is going to murder me and Andrew."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the only person on the scene who didn't know what happened was Andrew who was eating a snack with his head down. Noticing that no one was talking, the little prince raised his head to take a look, then lowered his head and continued to deal with the pastry in his hand.
Hao Ren looked at Ania quietly: "It seems that even you have thought about it." (To be continued~^~)
