Blue Sword

Aachen, the capital of the Principality of Lorraine, is also the territory of the Dragon Family.

The most classic scene must be the Grand Palace in Aachen. This palace built by Charles the Great is famous for its towering spire style, and the famous Iron Throne is located in it.

The Iron Throne is made of a large number of weapons and armor fragments. It is said that these metal fragments come from the enemies that Charlemagne defeated in his expedition to Jerusalem. The weapons and armor of the pagan armies that were shattered by the holy sword in the battle. There is no way to recycle it in the end.

So Charlemagne had it built into the Iron Throne, in order to warn his descendants about where the power of the empire came from - it came from countless wars, killings and conquests.

After Charlemagne ran away from the three planes and never returned because his level was too high, his descendants fully understood what their father meant and immediately picked up swords and guns to fight each other, resulting in the huge Frankish Empire being divided into three.

In short, it is very similar to the Cangqing Sword Mercenary Group. The people on top run away, and the bottom immediately falls apart.

The news that Her Royal Highness the Supreme Sword Holder, the Princess Royal, had returned to Aachen quickly spread throughout the Grand Palace, and nobles from all walks of life flocked to greet them: including members of the Saxon family, court officials, and local nobles in Aachen. of.

Then they were collectively stunned.

That person with upright character, although she was kind to her subordinates and civilians, she never showed any kindness to the attentive young noble men. It even made people suspect that she and the saint were the first sword holder of the empire, Her Royal Highness Princess... …

...At this time, he was holding a man's arm intimately and nodding warmly to the nobles who came to greet him.

Being teased by her in front of so many strangers, Asik tried to calm down, but actually he was feeling embarrassed, so he simply let Eleanor pull him away without looking away.

"This is my fiancé who just came back." Eleanor introduced Aske to the nobles attentively.

"Hello, Your Highness the Prince." The nobles quickly greeted Aske. The husband of Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Empire definitely deserves the title of Prince, and it would be embarrassing to hold him any lower than that.

"Hello everyone." Asik could only return the greeting.

The smile on Eleanor's face became brighter, and she hugged Asker's arm tighter, as if she was declaring sovereignty - it was her own sovereignty, so that other nobles would not continue to bother her about the marriage. .

Of course, this news will not be limited to Aachen, but will soon spread abroad.

For some obvious reasons, this news will undoubtedly bring great risks, so Eleanor must quickly advance the progress of the marriage and determine her and Aske's identity before external pressure reaches and rises to the critical point. Come down.

Although she couldn't do the kind of thing that Medea did when she was not married, Medea's decision to strike first and then show off undoubtedly taught her what it means to "strike first to gain the upper hand".

Soon, the nominal owner of the Aachen Grand Palace, Emperor Otto Jr., also arrived escorted by his attendants.

When the young man saw his sister holding the arm of a strange man, his face immediately darkened.

"Sister, this is..." Little Otto asked with an unhappy smile.

"Your brother-in-law." Eleanor smiled broadly.

"Oh, why haven't I heard of this, brother-in-law?" Little Otto said in a long voice.

"Because you hadn't grown up at that time." Eleanor said with a smile, "Early before you knew me, my dear, you had already accompanied me all over the continent and pledged each other to me."

When little Otto heard this, his face turned ugly and he insisted:

"But sister, after all, you are the regent of the empire, the grand master of the imperial knights, and the first sword bearer under the Iron Throne. Don't you think you should be more cautious in your choice of marriage?"

"I don't think so." Eleanor looked thoughtful, and then said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you have to know that before that series of so-called noble titles, I am first and foremost a demigod."

"For a demigod to take the initiative to choose another demigod to be her fiancé or even future husband, it is completely within the scope of her power, because the strength of the demigod allows her to transcend the original feudal class. Bondage relationship.”

Little Otto:! ! !

So angry! Why am I not a demigod? This emperor has no meaning at all!

"Since you have met your brother-in-law, as the owner of this place, will you arrange a room for us to live in?" Eleanor reminded him.

"Here..." Little Otto gritted his teeth and could only instruct the attendants, "Give my sister a room in the Golden Candle Room. As for my brother-in-law, please stay in the guest room of the Octagon Palace."

"No, Your Majesty." Eleanor squatted down as if coaxing a child, lowered to the same height as little Otto, and said patiently, "The Golden Candle Room and the Octagonal Palace are too far away, sister tonight I want to live with my brother-in-law."

Little Otto was about to cry but had no tears.

"Then...then you can live wherever you want!" The young emperor, who was brutally stabbed by his sister, left dejected and bruised, and hurriedly left to complain to his mother, the Queen Mother Theophano.

The imperial nobles present saw this in their eyes and thought that the young emperor was indeed no match for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and they became more determined on whose side they should stand.

After all the surrounding nobles had retreated, Eleanor drove away the palace attendants and took Asker to the nearby Octagon Palace in a familiar way.

The Octagonal Palace, also known as the "Chapel Palace", is a palace with an octagonal dome.

"Did you know? The architectural style of this octagonal palace was basically brought over by the Solomons of the Fourth Age." She held Asker's hand and introduced as they walked, "Because the Solomons were very fond of public bathrooms and bathing. They are very fanatical, and Aachen is rich in hot springs, so they deliberately built the palace where the hot springs are located in an octagonal shape to distinguish them from the public baths that boil water."

"In the fifth century, Charlemagne chose Aachen as the location of his palace to spend his last days in this world, also because he loved the hot springs here."

"Then I kind of want to give it a try." Asike followed suit.

"Hmm, you take a dip here first, and I'll get you the bathrobe prepared for the guests." Eleanor took him to the hot spring room, then closed the door and went out.

Ask looked at this hot spring room, and it was indeed different from the Solomon-style public bath:

The ancient Solomons liked public bathrooms with neatly laid ceramic tiles, with copper faucets for hot water; if it was Dongluo, the ceramic tiles were usually in the form of colorful small square mosaics, as well as flowers that could be moved flexibly in the hand. sprinkle.

The hot spring room on Frank's side is more like a groove carved out of a large stone for people to lie down and take a bath. It is already filled with steaming water. The water outlet is carved into the shape of a faucet. Compared with the public bathrooms of the Solomons, it has a somewhat less industrial and formal style, but more wild and natural charm.

He took off his clothes on the stone bench next to him and put his feet into the water to test the temperature.

Well, not bad.

So he slowly soaked his body into the hot spring, found a relatively gentle stone wall to lean against, and lazily enjoyed the charming warmth.

About five or six minutes later, the hot spring room door was opened again.

Through the hazy mist, Asik saw Eleanor's unique long legs that could not be covered even by the hem of a loose bathrobe, stepping in from the door. .

Wait, there doesn't seem to be a "gender" mark on the outside of the hot spring room!
