Crown of Chaos

Aaron found that he was not far away from the princess. He was only about five steps away from the woman on the throne, so he was able to get a glimpse of the charming appearance of the prestigious regent princess through the veil.

Aaron vaguely knew that there was a reason why he was so close to the princess.

There are many unwritten rules in Susar's palace, and one of the very hidden rules is the kneeling position of visitors during an audience.

This is the favorite little routine of the chamberlain and the attendants.

If a nobleman who is popular, has high prestige and is willing to give a lot of rewards comes to see him, the attendants will place the mat close to the throne, so that the king's voice will be clearer, and the two parties can not only maintain etiquette but also be able to talk to each other. Get closer.

If the nobles are unpopular, low-level, and unwilling to reward these inner court attendants, the attendants will place the mats far away, so that it will be embarrassing for the king to see the nobles, and the king cannot hear the nobles' words clearly and it is difficult to amplify the voice. It affects etiquette and makes communication more difficult for both parties.

It would be easier if the king couldn't hear what the noble said. He could ask the noble to say it again or ask the attendant to ask again before answering. But if the noble couldn't hear what the king was saying, it would be very troublesome.

Should nobles say "Pardon" in front of the throne?

Duke Kayneth helped Aaron solve this problem. The Duke greeted the chamberlains in advance and arranged for the cushion to be as close as possible to the throne so that Aaron could answer questions more easily. After all, this was his first time entering the palace, so he needed to Behave better and leave a good impression on the regent.

After the veil, the beauty's grace is faintly visible.

Alice Ser-Obeszil, the youngest daughter of the former King Assan IV, the regent, a strong woman who has taken control of the political power of Cormyr. She has been fighting with her father in the north and south since she was a teenager, and she is very famous. , is a daughter of war.

Assan IV only had two daughters, the eldest daughter Tenarasta and the youngest daughter Alice Searle.

After Assan IV died in battle, since he had only two female heirs, his eldest daughter Tenarasta naturally became the first heir. She therefore received the title of "Crown Princess" and was prepared to marry her at the appropriate time. The time has come to inherit the throne of Cormyr.

However, the Crown Princess only led the kingdom to end the Goblin War before she died in childbirth.

At this time, a big problem arose in Cormier, that is, the question of inheritance law.

According to Cormyr law, if the queen dies, her husband, the prince, will automatically obtain regency. If there is no heir, he can adopt a blood heir from a side clan.

However, the Crown Princess did not officially succeed to the throne, and according to Cormyr law, when the Crown Princess has no heirs as the crown prince, her youngest daughter Alice Searle is naturally the first to inherit the throne.

Therefore, whether the princess's consort, Duke Caspar, came to the regent's court to adopt a child as the crown prince, or whether Alice Searle inherited the throne, became a loophole in the inheritance law.

But this princess of steel doesn't care about so much. She has no time to argue with the Kingdom Council. She debates with Casper in the royal court who only has the title of honorary duke but no real power. Alice Ser relies on the purple dragon. The Knights and War Mages directly took over Susar with a thunderous force, and appointed themselves regents without the permission of the Kingdom Council.

The nobles pinched their noses and reluctantly admitted it, but they were still very dissatisfied with her iron-fisted methods and her abuse of the Queen's Blade all day long to bypass the Kingdom Council's edicts and severe punishments. The princess's consort, Duke Caspar, believed that she belonged to His regency was illegally seized, and he ran around seeking foreign aid and support.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to raise his head, Aaron took the time to gaze at the face of the regent princess.

The Son of Chaos' mind suddenly became confused.

With only a careful glance, a mature lady wearing a purple and gold color Youcao Xiyue Princess dress appeared in Aaron's sight. Her blond hair was like a waterfall, as cold as ice, and a pair of burgundy phoenix eyes revealed a sparkle. Her butt was as cold as a steel knife, as frightening. When Aaron's face fell into her gaze, Sister Yu's eyes flashed, and her beautiful eyes let out wisps of gleaming light, but she immediately put it away.

Aaron didn't dare to look more, he lowered his head.

He remembered that Alice Searle was several years older than him, and he couldn't remember whether she was seven or eight years old.

"Aaron Sallian?"

"exist."

"This seems to be the first time you have entered the palace alone." The Queen Regent said softly: "Awakening your charismatic charm, you are indeed completely different from before. When I heard the news from Hendry, I knew it was necessary to see you. Once.”

"It is an honor for me to be summoned by His Highness."

"How is your family? Aunt, uncle, cousin, and that ten-year-old cousin?"

"Everything is fine."

Aaron was very calm, and at the same time, he also had a vaguely weird feeling.

He felt two completely different powers from the princess in front of him.

The first one is dragon power, which is the same as the heirloom dragon scale full-body plate armor at home. Aaron felt a touch of dragon power from Alice Sayre's body!

This is not difficult to explain. The regent princess participated in the goblin war with the ancient dragon. It is said that those who participated in the dragon slaying will receive the "dragon legacy".

But the second one was very strange. Aaron felt a strange force field similar to the gift from Slaanesh from the orchid-scented body of the Regent Princess, which also enveloped the surface of Alice Ser's body, because he and The princess was not far away, and he could feel the power of Slaanesh in his body showing signs of activity, obviously resonating with the princess.

why is that?

"Your mission failed. Both Walker and Hicks died in the battle." The regent said softly. She slightly adjusted her sitting position, and unnaturally changed her pair of slender and straight black stocking legs. Show your beauty.

The beautiful feet wrapped in black silk are stepped on a pair of black suede red-soled stiletto heels. The thin red-soled high heels are like two sharp swords. The delicate black spider silk stockings extend from the pair of beautiful feet to cover the dress skirt. At the knee position, the moderately thick, soft and elastic stockings are works from the dark region. Through the slightly translucent surface of the delicate spider silk, a faint flesh color emerges in the black haze, on the smooth jade-like insteps and The knee shows the ultimate temptation.

Sure enough, stockings are like ribbons on the Christmas tree, indispensable at any time.

Aaron thought wildly for a few seconds before he cautiously began to "answer".

"This is just a simple task, Aaron. No one asked you to slay the dragon. I just asked you to investigate the possible whereabouts of the Dragon Witch Cult in the Forest of Kings, but you paid the price of two people's sacrifices."

"I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Highness!"

"Well, I have no intention of punishing you for this matter. I have read the report you wrote. You have indeed encountered a force majeure situation. On the contrary, I am happy for you. Cormier has one more person starting today. You are a charismatic warlock, so I specially summoned you here today." The tall lady on the throne said leisurely: "Get up and give Viscount Salian a seat."

Aaron's eyes moved, he criticized first, then affirmed, giving himself an extraordinary honor when he had the advantage.

The intelligence is wrong, the tall lady’s court level is not low!

As long as the enemy can't move, I won't move. Aaron kept in mind the wisdom of his ancestors and his previous work experience of "kowtow more and talk less", and bowed his head again, and then got up from the mat to express his gratitude.

The attendant brought a small stool, and Aaron stood up and sat on the stool, admiring the slender and smooth black silk legs under the princess's dress and her pair of black suede and red stiletto heels.

"I heard someone say that you are looking for a warlock mentor?" The regent princess was indeed a soldier. She did not like to talk in general, but directly named her: "This is Cormyr, you are from the Salian family, right? What?"

"Yes, I am your loyal servant." Aaron understood the implication of Alice Serre's words. The regent was blaming him for playing tricks with the royal family: "It's just that I don't want to meet another cloak in the alley. He’s a man.”

The woman on the throne was choked when she spoke, and she obviously stopped, her sharp eyes coming from behind Mansha like a cold north wind.

She also heard the implication of Aaron's words.

"I know you have become a warlock now. It is a good thing to be bold and have plans, but you have to use them in the right place." The regent princess looked at Aaron deeply: "You must learn from Ms. Alustriel, not from magicians." Master.”

Alustriel-Silverhand, the legendary archmage, the second-generation chosen goddess of magic, one of the Seven Sisters of the North, the leader of Silvermoon City, rules Silvermoon City with her powerful magic and outstanding wisdom, and is loved by everyone. Love and respect.

As for Sammaster, Aaron didn’t know much about this legendary archmage. He only knew that he was once the consort of Alustriel. It was said that he also had a romance with the second-generation magic goddess, but he fell into darkness later for unknown reasons. , became crazy obsessed with necromancy, and the famous evil organization Dragon Witch Cult was founded by him.

What really made Aaron know this name was some Internet articles he had read, that is, the battle between Sammaster and Lathander. It was said that hundreds of priests of the Lord of the Morning ambushed Sammaster when he was out. He wanted to get rid of this source of evil, but they greatly underestimated Sammaster's strength. In desperation, the priests collectively sacrificed themselves to call the Lord of the Morning.

Lathander responded to the believers' request and sent an avatar to the mortal world to personally fight Sammaster, eventually killing the fallen chosen goddess of magic.

Some online articles said that this was an epic battle. The incarnation of Lathander thought he had a chance to win, but unexpectedly, he was beaten by Sammaster until blood flowed all over the ground, and the car almost overturned.

However, what Aaron heard from the Church of Lathander in this life was that Sammaster had no chance at all. His most powerful attack was useless against the incarnation of the god. The only actual damage caused was due to magic. The remaining divine power of the goddess on him caused Lathander's incarnation's finger to accidentally break a little skin, that's all.

"Yes, subordinates, keep this in mind." Aaron continued to kick the ball.

His answer made the Queen Regent immediately feel that there was nothing she could do. Her burgundy eyes looked at Aaron again, her expression becoming more and more serious.

The Sally family has such a character after all!

"You came from Shenhai Town. How was your journey?" Alice Serre started to take action.

"Nature is all good."

"I know that you signed a contract with a group of mercenaries and acted with them." The Princess Regent continued: "And the 'Flower of the Sunken Sea', Miss Eleanor Dineful, they put You escorted me to Susar, which is a meritorious service."

"However." The regent princess changed the topic: "The priests of the Silver Virgin Mary are trustworthy. You should be more cautious when dealing with adventurers. You should also know that these mercenaries who lick blood with their swords often only care about profits and have no trace of anything. A sense of responsibility and honor, many times, we need these people to serve the kingdom, but you don’t want to imitate them, you are different from them.”

This is another admonishment.

Aaron also decided to have some real stuff. As a warlock, you can’t have a temper!

"Your Highness, look at our Susar, our royal city, which is a pearl on the shore of Long Lake. It is magnificent and carries the glorious history of Cormyr for thousands of years. It is so beautiful, so solemn and majestic... …”

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the tall beauty sitting on the throne. What did Viscount Salian want to say?

"But, what does all this greatness and this prosperous city have to do with the mercenaries? They just accept the task - complete the task - take the money and leave. No matter how great this city is, no matter how historic our royal city is , it has nothing to do with them. No matter how powerful our army is, no matter how prosperous our market is, it has nothing to do with them, because no matter how luxurious the mansion in the upper city is, it does not belong to them. Why should they pay for something that does not belong to them? What about the things that create a sense of responsibility and honor? Your view is wrong."

Aaron paused just in time, and just when the regent was about to retort, he spoke his thoughts in sonorous and powerful words:

"I'm different from them. Your Highness, I really have my mansion in the upper city! I also firmly believe that in the near future, there will be a room for me in the royal library!"

After Aaron finished speaking, there was no movement behind Mansha, but her beautiful burgundy eyes were always locked on Aaron's body.

In just ten seconds, the Queen Regent's mood changed drastically, as if she was on a roller coaster.

From doubt, to anger, to surprise, to thinking.

Under the ups and downs of her heart, a strange sense of comfort and satisfaction arose deep in the heart of the Princess Regent.

In this case, there are some things that don’t need to be said!

"Last Salian, if you really think so, Obeschier will never wrong you." The voice of the regent princess did not change much, but her tone already contained a hint of approval: "You don't have to do anything about the mentor." Look again, I have found a tutor for you who is absolutely suitable to teach you. Just wait for two weeks, and the royal family will pay for the cost of learning magic for you."

"Yes!" Aaron was excited. Sure enough, the resources of the royal family were not comparable to those of ordinary people.

He needs a magic mentor so much now!

He also appropriately showed some excitement for the princess to see.

Alice Ser nodded in her mind, and she went on to tell the second big news.

"Although you are a warlock now, don't be left behind by the Purple Dragon Knights. Yesterday, three knight instructors expressed their willingness to take you."

"Here is their information. You can choose one as your knight mentor and participate in the six-month Purple Dragon Knight training."

"But...if you fail to pass the final formal assessment, the knight's supplementary qualifications and fixed salary will be withdrawn!"

"You long for an opportunity, and I am willing to give you this opportunity. Last Salian, cherish it."

"...Yes." Aaron felt cold in his heart.

This is no longer a knock.

He only had six months, and the princess only gave him six months!

He fought for an opportunity with the princess, but he had to use everything he had as a bargaining chip.

Sure enough, no matter how mature and beautiful she is, no matter how stable and polite she is, she is still a soldier at heart.

The army does not raise waste!

This is the Queen of Steel.

After the interview was over, the regent's burgundy eyes stared at Aaron's handsome and extraordinary face, as deep and bright as the sky. Of course, she noticed that Aaron had been staring at her calves.

After all, she had just grown up... Alice Sayre mentally found an excuse for Aaron not to punish him for spying on her, and signaled that he could retreat.

After coming out of the palace, Aaron was shocked to realize that it was already past ten in the morning.

This visit actually took more than an hour!

I remember I didn’t say a few words to the princess, right?

Not long after he left the palace, Aaron happened to encounter Duke Kayneth selecting goods in a nearby store. The Viscount hurriedly walked up to the Duke: "Your Highness!"

"Come out? It seems that our Viscount Salian gained a lot from his visit this morning." Kayneth-Ireland mocked with pretense of humor: "No matter how long you stay, I will doubt that Her Royal Highness is watching." Fuck you."

The surrounding elite guards saw the Duke taking the initiative to laugh, and they also laughed together.

Aaron could only laugh along, but there was no smile in his heart.

Six months, only six months!

"By coincidence, I have arranged lunch!" Kayneth directly hooked Aaron's neck: "Red Scarf Restaurant! gogogo~"

Aaron naturally had no objection. He broke free from the Duke's arm with a little force and asked an interesting question on the way: "His Highness said that the Queen is interested in me? Doesn't the Queen have a boyfriend?"

"Where did Alice Sayre get her boyfriend?" Duke Kayneth was indeed one of the very few people in Cormyr who dared to talk about the royal family casually: "She followed the late king to fight when she was fourteen. She has been doing this for more than ten years. She became the regent. That’s just what happened in the last few months.”

"That's it."

Aaron had a bold idea.

Big, big, big, big, bold!

The power of Slaanesh is active as never before, and it is roaring! It's roaring!

The ultimate hunter applies to fight!

I found my prey!

My fucking ground is cracked.

I must not have woken up yet, that must be it!

A water! rhubarb! Sales day! I'm going to kill you! ! ! !
