Above the Seven Towers

When the sky was dark, the palace was brightly lit. Many people come and go in the aisle, reporting various news. Princess Laura, dressed in a formal dress, did not take care of her hair carefully, and hurried towards the king's room.

Accompanying her was the Minister Marquis Francisco who was in charge of the court ceremonies, and her martial arts teacher Salmelon. Because the guardian knight Tavares was seriously injured, her assistant Liu Pengfei was put in prison, and she suddenly felt empty around her. For a moment, she even thought that the brother who was upsetting her, if still at her side, fell It is also a good thing. At least they can face this moment together.

Master Salmeron seemed to feel the princess's emotions and said: "His Royal Highness, you should especially keep the peace in your heart at this moment. Just like holding the sword in your hand for the first time, some things seem to be a challenge, but the actual Just go face to face, and then it will be logical. "

"Yes, teacher." The princess replied, "I can only rely on you now."

"No, Your Highness, although I am willing to protect you forever, but I hope you can not rely on anyone. The path of the king is originally lonely. If you can't stand this loneliness, you can't take on this responsibility." This serious The middle-aged man gave his own warning, but did not make the princess feel better.

"I know." The princess nodded.

They hurried to the door of the king's room. The guard of the gate pushed the door open, and a strange smell of potion came across. The kingdom lies on a large bed, with three people standing beside it. They are Emily, the high-level wizard of the Healer's Tower, Finch, the priest of the Temple of Nature, and Isaac, the royal alchemist in the court.

The three saw Princess Laura coming in and greeted them together.

The Royal Doctor Isaac said: "I am afraid that the time is up. Your majesty's life has come to an end. His return to the embrace of the God of Nature is within an hour or two."

"Is this time finally coming?" Princess Laura's eyes were red, and tears appeared in her eyes. Although she had imagined this scene more than once, and hoped that she was as strong as a real queen, but She still failed to control her tears on her cheeks.

"Yes. Her Royal Highness, we have done our best, but there is no trace of life energy in the body of His Majesty the King. It is like a candle about to burn out, no matter what we do, we cannot extend that point. The flame has been around for a long time. In fact, even if it is dragged to the present, it is already a potion effect. "Emily of the Healer's Tower explained.

"Now you have a choice. That's whether to use the dying potion." Isaac pointed to the crystal bottle warmed by magical flames on a side table. There are some bright red potions constantly rolling.

"What is the role of this potion?"

"Pain brings sobriety. If you give this medicine to His Majesty the King, he may be able to get sober for a moment, but the price is that he has to endure the pain of the whole body during the whole process." Isaac explained.

"If he is not allowed to drink medicine, will he leave like this?" The princess confirmed again.

"His Royal Highness, leaving unconsciously in peace is not necessarily a bad thing," said Priest Finch.

The princess wiped tears with a handkerchief, took a deep breath, and then said: "Let him drink it. As a king, it is disrespect for him to die silently. As a father, at the last moment should give His daughter blesses and admonishes that as the passer of the throne, he should see who the crown is in the end. "

The Finch priest sighed softly.

Isaac said: "As you wish, Her Royal Highness."

He removed the crystal bottle from the magic circle, came to the king, put a funnel in the king's mouth, and put the dying potion into it.

After the potion was exhausted, he removed the funnel and waited for the potion to take effect with everyone.

After about a minute, the king's entire body began to turn red and hot. He suddenly twitched, leaving black blood in the corners of his mouth, and then uttered a low roar.

The King's eyes widened and his breathing became very rapid, and there was a cry after a cry.

"Can't you give him less pain? For example, let him feel no pain." Princess Laura asked.

"His Royal Highness, pain is an important part of the role of this potion. If there is no pain, I am afraid that your majesty will immediately fall into a permanent sleep." Isaac said regretfully.

After a while, the king began to adapt to the pain, and was able to concentrate. His eyes began to roll and then looked at the crowd standing beside the bed.

"I ... I'm ..." The king spoke, his words clear.

"Please go out. I think this last time should be reserved for me and my father." Princess Laura said.

The people exited the room according to their words and closed the door, leaving the princess alone in the room.

"It seems that we have no time to waste. Am I dying?" The king put his head up and looked at Princess Laura.

"Yes, father. Unfortunately, your time is running out."

"Only you are here. What about your brother Javier? Are you still alive?"

"Alive, he was taken away by Metatron. But I was not prepared to kill him. I just wanted him to stay beside me quietly."

"Is that true? Has he and his mother taken refuge in the Tower of Glowing Wings?"

"Father, many things have happened since you fell asleep. The tower of the winged wings was destroyed, the saint Sasso died. The queen was assassinated, and his brother's whereabouts is unknown."

A shocked expression appeared on the king's face, obviously the princess' words had exceeded the thinking limit of this dying old man, "cough cough, it seems that you can do a lot more than I thought. I don't know what you did specifically, and I have no time I know. I just want to give you a piece of advice. The balance of the kingdom is very fragile, and there is an empire outside ready to pounce on a piece of meat. You do n’t have so much money to play with fire. "

"You mean that the Empire will take the opportunity to attack us?"

"Ah, pain, I must kill the person who gave me this potion. Listen, the young emperor's ambitions will only be greater than you. Not only him, but also the **** nobles in the country. Sri Lanka, or anyone else. In short, my daughter, your way may be more difficult than mine. But this has nothing to do with me. I'm tired, I'm going to accompany my wife, that poor, by you The woman who killed. "

"Father, this is what you want to say to me last? Do you have any specific suggestions?" Princess Laura's mouth became a line.

"No, no, the king is a man who deals with mess all day long. You should learn this. You already have a very classic start, my queen, ha ha ha ..." The kingdom laughed here, as if choked. The same, suddenly staring at the eyes and disappearing, then everything went to silence.
