The royal palace of the City of the Sun is far less massive than it looks because a considerable part of the land belongs to the temple side.
But even so, the palace is obviously not small... The guards followed Princess Yamanlana all the way, and it took about 20 minutes to complete the transition area between the temple and the palace.
During this period, Princess Yamalana didn't even turn her head to tell the guards behind her that she didn't know what to say.
Princess Yamalana is a person who likes to reflect. At this time, she is reflecting on her behavior just now, which seems a bit too reckless. Of course, if it was another royal family, it would probably not take such trivial matters to heart.
But Princess Yamanlana knows that if she wants to be a wise king, she must never abuse power... All power needs to serve the kingdom and its people, so that the country can last forever.
Princess Yamanlana governs the army very strictly, and monitors the ministers of various systems in the kingdom very strictly. She is even very strict with herself... She suddenly cared whether this guard would marry herself with arrogance because of this incident. right to connect.
It was probably because of the giant beast that messed up my energy-raising skills... Her Royal Highness quietly explained for herself.
"Iben, where does your family live?" Princess Yamalana let out a sigh of relief, then turned around blankly, and asked seemingly casually.
Let's start with the daily routine first... An approachable image is also a quality that a wise gentleman should need.
Her Royal Highness quietly gave sufficient reasons for her actions.
"It's quite far." The guard thought for a while and said, "It's in the east, far away from here."
Princess Yamalana nodded, "Is it the east wall... It's really far from the palace."
The air died in vain and was quiet for about half a minute before Princess Yamanlana, who was always good at speaking, said abruptly, "I like the market over the east city wall. I passed by it several times and wanted to visit it."
The guard blinked his eyes, with a look of [You continue to speak, I will listen].
"... Well, it's nothing."
As soon as Princess Yamanlana turned around, she strode forward... She couldn't help laughing bitterly. In fact, she was not good at words, and she rarely even had this kind of simple communication with people, not even her father in the kingdom.
She suddenly discovered that, except for the high priest, she never seemed to have a relaxed conversation with anyone in the City of the Sun... This guard probably wasn't because she was a princess, he was just a small guard.
"Since I've passed by it several times, and I want to go in and have a look, why don't you go in and have a look."
"I can't stop." Princess Yamalana stopped immediately, and the speed of reply seemed to be faster than the guards expected, "Once you stop, you will become slack! The kingdom is not what it seems Calm, we have always had a huge threat, if we are not careful, what awaits us will be the destruction of the country and family!"
"Is the princess referring to the giant beast in the desert?" the guard asked curiously.
Princess Yamanlana nodded, and said seriously: "These giant beasts are not only huge, they can even lurk under the desert, and some of them can even disguise themselves as rocks, and they will become their food if they are not careful. In order to wipe out these giant beasts Beast, how many young soldiers are sacrificed by the City of the Sun every year. Moreover, it is unknown when this kind of war will end... Maybe, maybe one day, the City of the Sun will cease to exist, and it is not certain. "
The guard turned around and glanced at the temple in the distance, and asked curiously: "Isn't the City of the Sun protected by the Sun God... Even so, it will fall?"
Princess Yamalana shook her head, as if she didn't want to say more, she took a deep look at the guards, and suddenly asked: "Iben, young warrior, when danger comes, are you willing to stand up for the sake of Is your country fighting to the death for your family? The day of the longest night is coming soon... are you ready?"
The guard shook his head directly.
Princess Yamanlana glanced at the guard Iben unexpectedly, then shook her head, and said with a complicated expression: "Actually, I wasn't ready either... the whole kingdom wasn't ready either, but few could see clearly. indivual."
Her Royal Highness seems to have misunderstood something.
But the guards had no intention of explaining.
He just thought for a while and asked, "What are these giant beasts?"
Princess Yamalana suddenly said: "Iben, you haven't seen these giant beasts intuitively, have you? I'm not talking about what you see through the city wall on the longest night every year... but standing in front of them, Touch their bodies."
"Indeed not." The guard shook his head again.
Princess Yamalana suddenly smiled at this moment, as if thinking of something fun, "Come on, I'll take you to a place."
The guard said: "Isn't the princess planning to go to the banquet?"
Princess Yamalana said indifferently: "You can go to this boring banquet anytime... If you are hungry, I will ask you to prepare something for you."
The guard smiled and said, "I don't seem to have any reason to refuse."
Princess Yamanlana gave the young guard an angry look... Thinking of how the dignified princess of the City of the Sun seemed to be a prince, she probably hadn't encountered such indifference for a long time. She's a princess guy now.
"Eben, have you ever wondered what the outside world is like?" Princess Yamalana asked suddenly.
"Is there a place beyond the desert?" The guard thought for a while and said, "It is said that there is a place beyond the desert, but the giant beast blocks the way out of the desert."
Princess Yamanlana said: "The only thing blocking the road is the giant beast in the desert? The outside world..."
"The outside world?"
Princess Yamanlana shook her head, her serious expression returned to her expression, "It's nothing, we need to speed up... Although we don't have to be there on time, it will still be troublesome if we miss the banquet all the time."
She walked in the other direction, gradually picking up her pace... Along the way, she never stopped to talk to the young guard.
…
I'm going to die... This thought has been completely thrown away from Claudia's mind, replaced by [I'm going to die].
She probably underestimated Princess Yamalana's influence in the kingdom. Originally, she was only traveling with Mani, the son of the Minister of Agriculture, but the number of people in the team gradually increased.
They are all the sons of the ministers of the kingdom... I met them on the road, and then they stuck together like ants circling honey, and they sang praises beside Claudia.
Claudia didn't see how outstanding these minister's sons were, but the sweet talk of these guys was quite good... In school, Claudia had never experienced being surrounded by many men.
She has always felt that this experience of being surrounded by men feels like a monkey in a zoo.
But the real experience is...it's actually not bad, really fragrant.
Even in a kind of beautiful, sunny, or polite good skin, she couldn't help but feel a little blissful... Claudia even thought a little dazedly: Since I can meet here Princess Yamanlana, who is the same as herself, also met Iben, who was the same as Aria, would she also meet the same lost guy
As one of these minister's sons
"What are you looking at?" Mr. Otto, as the guard of Princess Jacques Mann (Laura) La (Di) Naya, came forward at this time and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything? ?”
"No...it's nothing." Mr. Otto's voice dispelled some of Claudia's strange thoughts, and he said quickly, "I was just checking to see if that guy came here... Really."
"Yeah." Mr. Otto nodded, looked at Claudia a little strangely, and then said, "You need to find a reason to get away from these young masters... you're going to the banquet venue soon, once you meet When it comes to the real Princess Yamalana, we're in trouble."
"I see." Claudia's face gradually became serious... If she just wanted to find an excuse, that was the only excuse.
"Everyone, I have something to do. Excuse me..." Claudia opened her mouth, but interrupted suddenly.
"Yamalana, pride of the kingdom, my son!"
Not far away, the pharaoh of the kingdom, surrounded by a crowd of followers, was slowly approaching... The sons of the ministers around Claudia gave way one after another.
Claudia's eyes darkened immediately, and she gave Mr. Otto a dead eye, and then watched the pharaoh of the kingdom finally come to her with a tingly scalp.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Otto lowered his head at this time, and took two steps back quietly... Claudia's pupils couldn't help shrinking a little, and she has never seen such a brazen guy before!
So angry!
"I thought you didn't plan to attend the banquet tonight." The pharaoh of the kingdom didn't notice anything wrong with Her Royal Highness in front of him, he kindly grabbed the palm of [Her Royal Highness], smiled kindly and said: "I'm looking for someone I went to your palace to look for you, but I didn't see anyone, I didn't expect you to come here, it really makes me so happy, my daughter."
Claudia had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "After all, it is a celebration banquet. If I don't attend, others will say that I don't respect you."
The Pharaoh of the Kingdom opened his mouth, looked at his daughter in surprise, and then laughed out loud, "Others say that Princess Yamanlana has made great achievements and never put me in their eyes... you see Look, you all look! Those who say these things can be executed! This is my good daughter! The pride of the kingdom! Hahahaha!"
Everyone was silent like a cicada, breaking out in a cold sweat, echoing again and again.
The Pharaoh of the kingdom didn't care about this, he took [Her Royal Highness]'s hand and walked to the banquet venue, loudly said: "Go! My princess! Let these people see how good the relationship between you and my father and daughter is. !"
[His Royal Highness]... Claudia was grabbed by the wrist by the pharaoh of this kingdom, her heart was beating wildly, her breathing was rapid... her legs became weak.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die, this time I'm really going to die!
Claudia glanced back with a stiff neck, but saw that Mr. Otto was silent at this time, quietly mixing among the Pharaoh's servants and guards... she was somewhat relieved.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Mr. Otto, who had been among the attendants, had disappeared... Claudia immediately cursed, "There is nothing good about a man!"
"My son, who has offended you?" The Pharaoh of the kingdom was taken aback at this moment. "Did these guys offend you? You must tell me! I will execute them for you!"
How much do you like to kill people...
"Yamalana?" Pharaoh asked again with concern.
Claudia suddenly remembered that before entering the palace, Iben had said that this banquet was for Pharaoh to choose a husband for Princess Yamalana, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, "Tonight will give birth to a man who can spend my whole life with me. man, but I like to give the man some tests."
The pharaoh of the kingdom couldn't help asking curiously: "A test?"
"I need to prepare..." Claudia said seriously at this time: "For the sake of fairness, only I can know the test questions."
When the pharaoh of the kingdom heard this, he immediately waved his hand: "This is simple... Come here, prepare a room for the princess!"
Just like that, [His Royal Highness] walked into a separate room in the banquet hall under the watchful eyes of everyone, but the pharaoh even sent more than a dozen soldiers to guard it in order to keep this test absolutely secret. Around the room, make sure no one can peek.
In the room, [His Royal Highness] sat slumped in front of the door, muttering to himself: "Why should I make such a request, isn't this... self-inflicted?"
While outsiders can't get in, [Her Royal Highness] naturally can't get out either.
…
This place is not as luxurious as other parts of the palace... but it is definitely not simple and it is full of soldiers guarding it.
The soldier was the kind of soldier who looked like an elite soldier. Even when Yamanlana came in person, there was not much movement, she just opened the door silently.
"What is this place?" The young guard asked curiously at this time.
"A place to study giant beasts." Princess Yamarana said indifferently at this time: "This is a collection of specimens of some giant beasts killed by the kingdom over the years. The most outstanding scholars of the kingdom are here, and their only purpose is to study Find out how to kill the giant beast more effectively... Come, I will take you to see the corpse of the giant beast."
Different from the indifference of the guards outside, the inside of the research institute was entered after heavy guards. People who work here will warmly greet Princess Yamanlana when they see her.
Taking advantage of the time when Princess Yamalana communicated with the scholars here, the young guards began to look around.
This is a museum-like place, surrounded by shelves to erect the huge corpses. Through the shape of the remaining bones, it seems that some of the appearances of these giant beasts can be imagined.
The young guards gradually came to a pool, and a pungent smell came over them immediately. In the transparent liquid of the pool, there was a huge and ferocious head of a giant beast.
"Shocking, isn't it?" At some point, Princess Yamalana had come behind the young guard, "This is the head of the giant beast, which was hunted two years ago. It took us a lot of effort to get it The head was chopped off and brought to this place."
The young guard blinked and suddenly asked, "What is soaking this head?"
"Formalin." Princess Yamalana said seemingly casually: "A potion used to prevent corpses from decomposing. Most of the corpses or internal organs of giant beasts here are soaked in this potion."
Formalin… solution.
