Dang Dang Dang! Dang Dang Dang!
The gong was continuously sounded by the imperial proclamation messenger, and all the townspeople who heard the sound of the gong came to the bulletin board, although most of the large announcements that alarmed the empire did not mean much to ordinary people like them. But as a rare wise king in the mainland for thousands of years, Alexander will be supported by the people even if he farts, so these people are also very curious and concerned about the king's new announcement.
"Good news has come from the imperial capital! Good news has come from the imperial capital!" After seeing most of the townspeople gathered, the announcer also began to tell the story personally. He pointed to the announcement posted on the wall and said loudly: "Harm the empire and the common people. All the strongholds of the dark force - Sombra have been breached by the Imperial Army. The leader of the Sombra organization, the Daughter of the Curse, has been captured and is scheduled to be beheaded in public at Merindel Plaza in Melindel on October 23. Sombra is The last and most powerful force that resisted the empire. Now that their leader, the Daughter of the Curse, has been captured, the Black Shadow is finished. The empire will usher in complete peace and tranquility! Citizens of the empire, enjoy this rare peaceful age! Praise the King!"
"Praise the King!" Zhenmin also sent out sincere blessings. They took a brief look at the notice, and then returned to their homes while cursing the cursed daughter who brought harm to the empire and massacred mankind.
But there was one person who stood in front of the Empire's bulletin board for a long time. If the people around him hadn't pulled him away, he would have stayed there staring at the portrait on the bulletin board for a long time. That person is Regnar.
"Uncle, what happened to you just now? You feel very ugly standing there." After pulling Regna back home, Clodes asked strangely.
"..." Regnar's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He was silent for a while and then asked: "Claudus, I remember you mentioned the force called Black Shadow. Can you tell me more in detail? ?”
"Black shadow?" Clodes was stunned.
"That was the anti-imperial force that suddenly appeared eight or nine years ago." Flanda replied: "According to the empire's analysis, this force was basically composed of southerners who did not recognize the unity of the empire. And their leader was Called the Daughter of the Curse, she is said to be a female necromancer whose whole body is filled with the aura of death.”
"Eighty or nine years? How could they persist for such a long time in front of the huge empire?" Regnar asked.
Clodes thought for a while and said: "Actually, this is not surprising. The empire was severely damaged during the Civil War, and later experienced the disaster of the wave of death. The empire and humanity that survived the disaster needed a lot of time to recuperate. . Therefore, the royal family has no way to deal with this anti-imperial force that has not been around for a long time. In addition, they have basically set their bases in the south of the continent where undead creatures are rampant, and the empire has no power to control it. But in Just one or two years later, this force began to gradually flourish. It was not until that time that the empire really paid attention to this issue. In the following years, the empire and the black shadow fought several local wars, and the black shadow began to collapse. However, It is said that the reason why the black shadow has been able to persist for so long is because the leader named the Cursed Girl has the ability to control some of the undead creatures left on the continent."
"So both the empire and ordinary civilians are quite hostile to the black shadow, right?" Regnar asked in a low voice.
"..." Flanda and Claude looked at each other, then nodded: "Yes, although our northern continent has not been much disturbed by the black shadow, it can be seen from the news in those imperial newspapers, That dark shadow is indeed up to no good."
"Doing all kinds of evil?" Regnar was stunned.
"They not only attack official forces such as the imperial army, but also attack ordinary villages and towns." Clodes said: "The empire's newspapers have reported many times before that the black shadows massacred villages and towns. They will kill Everyone in the villages and towns, even women and children, will not be spared."
Hearing these things, Regnar closed his eyes in pain. He was silent for a few minutes, then opened his eyes again and asked, "Do you... hate her?"
"who?"
"The cursed girl."
"..." Flanda and Claude were silent for a while, and finally Claude spoke first: "Actually, it can't be said that we hate her. After all, no matter how evil that person does, it has nothing to do with us. She has done no harm after all. My family. So, since there is no personal pain, how can there be deep hatred?"
"Claudius is right." Frenda also nodded: "The cursed daughter may be very hateful, but if strictly speaking, she has nothing to do with us, why should we hate someone who has nothing to do with us? What about irrelevant people?”
"Very hateful..." Regnar murmured and repeated. Then he stood up and said, "I have been awake for more than a month and my body has almost recovered. I think it's time for me to leave now."
"Okay, I will prepare things like food and dry food for you." Flanda nodded. She hesitated before saying, "Regna."
"kindness?"
"Did you leave because of the cursed girl?" Flanda asked.
Regnar nodded and admitted frankly: "Yes."
"Is she the one you miss?"
"Yes." Regnar did not deny it. He said, "Maybe to you, she is a hateful murderer. But to me, she will always be that idiot who can't even grow big breasts. It’s just a little girl. She is my cutest little girl!”
…
The capital of the empire, in the palace of Melinder.
"Your Majesty, the defense of the imperial capital is fully prepared." Alfred said to Alexander, who was reviewing official documents. Although such trivial matters as the defense of the imperial capital were not under the prime minister's control, this time the situation was special, so Alexander specifically told Alfred Delai personally arranged the defense.
"Very good, I can rest assured that you are doing the work." Alexander said calmly. He put down the quill he used for marking, and then asked Alfred: "Do you think he will come?"
"I don't know either. He was seriously injured back then and might have died long ago." Alfred replied.
"In a few days, we will be able to verify his life and death." Alexander said: "As long as he is alive, he will definitely come over. I know that person's character very well."
"..." Both Alexander and Alfred were silent for a while, and finally Alexander nodded: "You have been tired these past few days, go and rest first."
"Yes, I take my leave." Alfred saluted Alexander and then left. After walking out of the study, Alfred saw a figure that surprised him. But the old prime minister was so naughty. As usual, he bowed slightly to his luggage and said, "Good day, Her Majesty the Queen."
"I am not married to the king, so Prime Minister, please don't call me queen." Lisanna replied coldly.
The old prime minister smiled ambiguously, and then said: "His Majesty the King is in the study. I think he will be very happy to see you coming."
"Yeah." Lisanna responded, then opened the door and walked into the study.
"What's wrong? Al..." Alexander was stunned midway through his words. He looked at Lisanna who arrived unexpectedly for a few seconds, then quickly threw away the official document in his hand and stood up: "You... that... you Here you go. I'll review the official documents again... Just wait a moment... Oh no! I won't read it. It's rare that you come to me, so I'll just stay with you."
"Your Majesty the King does not need to waste more time on a commoner like me." Lisanna shook her head.
"What are these words?" Alexander said as if he was a little angry: "You have been unwilling to see me for so many years. Today you finally figured it out. Of course we have to have a good talk. Come on! I know there are some misunderstandings between us, but I think these can all be solved through verbal communication.”
"But can language communication bring Annie back to life?" Lisanna said coldly.
"..." The smile on Alexander's face froze. It took him half a minute to slowly calm down his expression, and then asked softly: "Is this matter really so important?"
"That is the daughter of my mentor and my best friend." Lisanna reminded.
"But she really shouldn't have saved Regnar at that time! That man must die!" Alexander seemed a little excited. He spread his hands and said, "I have told you many times that Regnar is carrying the wave of death again. The possibility of coming, only by destroying him can we ensure the safety of the continent, but Annelotte stopped us, there is no way! Yes, Annelotte is your friend, and I am your husband! Do I still Not as important as Annelotte?”
"You are just my fiancé, not my husband." Lisanna corrected.
"So? You have been fighting with me for ten years because of an insignificant woman who is already dead?!" Alexander scratched his hair in annoyance.
"It's insignificant?!" When Lisanna heard Alexander say this, surging anger appeared on her face, but she finally controlled herself. Lisanna took a deep breath to calm down, and then said: "I'm not here to argue with you on this issue. What I want to tell you... No, it's what I'm asking you to do. The cursed girl you caught is Is it Xiao Yi Ni? Can you let her go?"
