The Amber Sword - 884. Chapter 884 Act Forty Two Two Letters VII

The breeze blew over the treetops, and the leaves rustled like a small song in the afternoon.

“All of this will start from your grandfather’s time.” Her Royal Highness’s soft voice seemed to echo the song, “It was almost sixty years ago, when King Anson XI was still on the throne, and the kingdom still had Sword Sage Darus, Master of Mythril Fort, Touraman, that was the year of thunder, Eruin just issued the militia training decree, and the Ridenberg-Vanmir defense line began to be built, since the Sifah dynasty The most glorious period of this ancient kingdom, and in that era, your grandfather was the most dazzling name among them.”

Brando was silent. He looked at the direction of the field. The clouds were floating over the stag forest. The faint undulating shadows of the mountains to the south were the mountains of Yu Song.

The sword sage Darus is indeed a legend of that era, the strongest sword sage in the history of the Eruin kingdom, and the only kingdom general who has served as the marshal of the flame temple coalition forces.

However, the light of this star did not last forever. Soon after the end of the holy war, he inexplicably disappeared from history. Some people said that he was dead, some said that he was just missing, and there were even rumors that when the kingdom once again faced a dead end. At the time of danger, the Master Juggernaut will return to this land to save Eru from danger. But Brando understood that this was just a good wish after all. In another period of history, these legends were buried in the dust with the fall of the kingdom. Perhaps thousands of years later, no one will remember.

If he did not have the current experience, he would not understand that Darus had never left the kingdom. He was born in this land, died in this land, until the last moment of his life, still incognito at the edge of the kingdom. city.

No one would have thought that outside the city of Braggs, in this humble mill by the Buči River, the once heroes of the kingdom lived and buried.

“Princess Griffin,” Brando said. These things have nothing to do with his current situation, but he faintly feels that there is something to do with him. “You want to tell me that my grandfather is the last What happened and what prompted him to leave the center of kingship and live in seclusion. I know, this must have something to do with the highland knights of Captain Bund, or maybe it is also related to the royal family of Eruin. This is where you are now appearing. The reason, right?”

“You always have an unusual keenness for the development of things, Mr. Cavalier, you seem to be able to see the past and the future. I have always admired you in the past, and it is still true today,” Griffiin whispered, but she He shook his head again: “But, I really never deceived you. I really don’t know what happened to your grandfather. I only know that after that the kingship has declined, the kingdom has become weaker day by day, and the glory of Eruin As if gone forever, after the death of my father, my brother and I trudged through a dark and desperate wilderness until you appeared in front of us, Mr. Cavalier.”

Brando seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heartbeat. He didn’t understand why His Royal Highness would suddenly say this to him. He looked at Princess Griffin. There was a breeze in the afternoon, and the wind in the late summer crossed the field gently. The half-elf girl’s silver hair was flicked, and the skirt swayed in the wind. Griffith stood in the wind with her slender hands pressing the guard of the long sword, without any expression on her face, as if she was just mentioning these casually, so that people could not guess what she was thinking.

But Brando pressed his lips. He understood that Princess Griffith invited him to come here with a letter, even avoiding the eyes of the royal party and her grandfather. He must be telling him something. He was not in a hurry, so Also calm down and wait.

Sure enough, after a while, Griffin continued: “But you can rest assured, I can at least assure you that in the turmoil that year, the party at fault was not your grandfather, or even any of your family members. A person, your grandfather took the responsibility for some reason and chose to live in seclusion together with your family. Although I don’t know what happened at that time, the secrets of the royal family have been passed down from generation to generation. I One thing my father told me is that the Corcovado family will always owe a favor to the Cardiloso family.”

She glanced at Brando with silver eyes: “Of course, maybe there are two now…”

Brando was almost dumbfounded.

But this did not prevent his thoughts from turning rapidly. The information revealed by the princess was quickly assembled in his mind and gradually pieced together a rough outline. In other words, everything that happened in the Alkhash Mountains that day, his grandfather, the sword sage Darus, did not have any fault, and it can even be said that he took responsibility for someone or every force. A thread gradually became clear in his heart. No wonder that the Temple of Flame did not continue to pursue it after his grandfather lived in seclusion. It was just a statement made by the Temple of Flame.

It’s just that he was still a little puzzled that his grandfather was responsible for whom, from the princess’s words, it seemed that he was responsible for the Eruin royal family, but it was somewhat illogical, because the Eruin royal family was fundamentally responsible at the time. No one participated in the holy war, and it was impossible to have anything to do with the battle in the Alkhash Mountains. But if it is someone else, it seems that the Corcovado royal family has no need to owe a favor to the Cardiloso family. What kind of person or power can make their grandfather and the Corcov family make such a big sacrifice for it? .

Brando knew very well in his heart that if his grandfather did not leave the center of the kingship at the peak of the sky, Eruin’s kingship would not decline so quickly; of course, this ancient kingdom might one day be ruined, but it would never be from the blooming flowers. The year of summer leaves begins.

Is it for the temple of flames?

He immediately shook his head, and the attitude of the Temple of Flame would not be what it was afterwards.

“His Royal Highness really didn’t know anything about everything at that time?”

“Mr. Cavaliers, these have already become history when I was born, and the only words I know are only what my father and my history teacher told me. I am as curious as you about the history of that era.”

“No,” Griffiy shook his head slightly: “I’m actually more reconciled than you. I don’t understand why the first king Ansen made such a choice. If not, the kingdom will not be as weak as it is today. Butcher.”

Brando saw the light flashing in the eyes of the princess, and his heart softened slightly. It was not his question, and it was not his wish.

May the black pine evergreen, may Eru live forever; may the faith shine as before, and may the sword be as sharp as ever——

The ancient ballads of the kingdom are the hope in the hearts of everyone who is nostalgic for this homeland.

But he stopped, and suddenly remembered what the real purpose of the princess was. She invited him to come here and left him to meet alone. Is it just to tell him this? She said that the Corcovado family would always owe a favor to the Cardiloso family, but she probably didn’t have to tell him this. If she still missed the relationship between the Corcov family and the Cardiloso family, then the royal family The relationship with Tonigel will never look like today. However, Brando knew in his heart that the princess had never believed in herself wholeheartedly.

She always carefully maintained the relationship between him, her and her younger brother, even though she had always understood in her heart that she was the grandson of Sword Saint Darus.

“Mr. Cavalier, I still remember that you described the future of this kingdom with me in your letter. The ideal Eruin, shining with a belief that is different from today, was once the most yearning hope in my heart.” Like the fluctuating wind in the afternoon, Princess Griffin suddenly changed the subject. She said softly: “Now Earl Dernell has been defeated, and Anlek is already dead. Now there is no obstacle in the South. The enemy before you, can you tell me now, the story after the future you described?”

Brando was startled slightly.

He looked at this soft and weak half-elf girl, standing there with her sword in both hands, she was as straight and sharp as a sword, she just showed off to him like this, as if to ask him, have you eaten at noon, so simple The problem is the same.

Brando was silent for a moment.

“What do the princesses think?” he asked rhetorically.

Griffith was a little disturbed in her heart because she didn’t speak. She once thought that there were many trustworthy people around her, striving for that like-minded belief, until she completely changed the face of this ancient kingdom. But she immediately discovered that these were only her wishful thinking. This kingdom may have many different futures, but the one she wanted was just one of them.

She looked at Brando, there was almost no emotion in her silver eyes, she just wanted to see this person through.

“A while ago, my brother Wang wrote me a letter, he intends to betroth his sister to you.” Princess Griffin said quietly.

Brando seemed to have been hit hard.

In that instant, he understood the thoughts of the princess.

Tonigel is now full of wings. In the battle with Madara and Jean Denel, the army from Valhalla has shown terrible strength. Anleck and Jean Denel have fallen. It seems that there is no army in the south that can stop him, the rising Count Lord. The Lantonians are his best allies, the Vieiro army is old and vulnerable, and the highland knights of Karasu are even more impressive. Only on his side, Princess Griffith looked around and suddenly realized that there was no reliable force around Brando that could contain Brando.

She tossed and turned every night, as if suddenly found that she had another Anleke next to her.

Although Brando once promised her to give her an ideal Eruin, what should she use to trust him? Perhaps the knight had really had such an idea, but people will change, like Mr. Lewoods, like Macaro, when a person is in a high position, his thoughts will gradually deviate from the original intention. She was born in the royal family and experienced the betrayal of the royal party. She knew everything about it all too well.

She now has only one way to tie Brando to her chariot.

She lowered her head, her neck was dyed with a faint blush: “In order to repay the favors owed by the Corkova family, the former king Anson once wanted to marry Princess Gloria to your father, but at that time Scott Your husband has a marriage contract and is your mother. After Emperor Ansen, his brother Obergus VI succeeded to the throne. The marriage contract until the time of my father Obergus VII—every descendant of the Highland Knights had a noble lady of Cadirego to marry her, but do you know why you didn’t, Brando.”

Griffiy called Brando’s name for the first time, and she whispered: “Because your engagement party is me, Head Bund knew this a long time ago.”

Bran took a heavy breath.

He felt a confusion in his mind, but he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to say that he didn’t have the slightest vision for this princess. But what he likes is the strong, independent, and never give up the princess, not to repay the favor, or to tie him to the chariot, and easily promise to marry him Princess Griffin. What did she think of him, and what did she think of Roman?

He stared closely at the silver eyes of the princess, as if to see some clues from it.

But he was finally disappointed.

“I’m not Anlek, Your Royal Highness.”

Griffith blushed, as if she had been greatly insulted. She clenched her fists in anger and raised her head to look at him: “Mr. Cavalier, I never thought about it that way.”

“But you did that. You knew that there was a paper marriage agreement between you and me, but why did you say it today? Because you understand that this paper marriage agreement has its value until today. It’s just a dispensable verbal agreement, right?” Brando felt cold in his heart, and only felt that his beliefs had collapsed. He replied with great anger: “You have disappointed me too much, Princess, you should understand. Everything I did for you before was not for such a superficial purpose.”

He took a deep breath and replied incoherently: “Well, I admit that I have longed for you before, but what I long for is the princess who has the same ideals and beliefs as me, not a request for perfection. Woman. Do you remember the ideal kingdom described in the letter I wrote to you, Your Royal Highness, everything you are doing now is putting it to shame.”

Princess Griffin’s face was pale, she almost shook slightly, looking at Brando in disbelief.

“But you said so righteously,” tears came from the half-elf girl’s eyes instantly, and she clenched her fists, almost crying: “But what did you do to me in Ampersel that day, do you remember, knight? grown ups!”

Brando felt a sharp sword passing through his heart.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say a word.

He finally understood why Princess Griffin had trusted him before Amperthel, but after that she carefully built a strong wall. He always thought that she was guarding her full wings and endangering her. Eluin’s future kingship. But at this moment he finally understood that his irrational behavior at the time had cast a deep shadow in the heart of this girl who was only seventeen years old.

Brando could hardly wish to slap himself severely. What did he do? He stood there, blushing like a soldering iron.

“sorry……”

“your Highness.”

“sorry.”

For a while, it seemed that he could only find such a sentence to express his thoughts.

Princess Griffin bit her lower lip and looked at him with tears on her face. She almost shivered with anger, but finally calmed down. Her Royal Highness wiped her tears and turned her head away, as if she was saying something irrelevant: “…Then, can I still trust you, Mr. Knight.”

Brando also calmed down.

The two stood in the yard, the breeze still blowing across the clouds, and there were only fine insects in the countryside. In Brando’s eyes, several elk were jumping through the forest in the direction of the stag forest.

There seemed to be a moment of silence.

He finally nodded.

“You said before that everything you did for Eruin was not for such a superficial purpose. You are still moving towards that ideal, right, Mr. Cavalier?” Princess Griffin also looked in the direction of the forest, her face Some were red, and the voice was pitifully small.

Brando nodded.

Princess Griffin opened her mouth, as if this affirmative answer made her feel a little suffocated: “I’m sorry, I blamed you, Mr. Knight.”

Brando replied very embarrassedly: “I should be said to be sorry, Your Royal Highness.”

Griffith turned her head and saw the legendary Lord Earl with such an embarrassing expression, and couldn’t help but sneered into a smile; the smile on her face at the moment was like that day, warm and bright in the afternoon. In the sun, she sat by the arched window, listening to Overwell telling her the story of the young knight with exactly the same smile. Because in that story, the flag is so shining, as if returning to the ancient kingdom.

“Mr. Brando, do you remember the story of your grandfather that I told you just now?”

“Um?”

“Do you really want to know the truth?”

Brando was startled slightly, he looked at the princess in doubt. But Griffin shook his head: “Don’t look at me like that, Mr. Cavaliers, I didn’t lie to you. But I know that there are still a few things that happened during the First World War in the Alkhash Mountains at that time. People are alive.”

“Who?” Brando moved in his heart, as if grasping a ray of light in the darkness.

“The Silver Queen, the Wind Elf King, and His Majesty the Pope of Faenza.”
