Noble Emblem

The second princess was busy strengthening the defense of her manor. In addition to sending more manpower, she also strengthened the hidden magic circle in the manor.

Of course, Beta also provided a lot of suggestions.

After working hard all afternoon, as night fell and looking at the slightly glowing magic circle that became more complex, Shasha was finally satisfied.

Then when she returned to the room, she lay weakly on the table. Beta smiled slightly and said, "There's no need to be afraid of being like this."

"I don't want to be filled with ashes." Shasha sighed: "After the eldest sister killed Liu Mei's mother, Liu Mei's grandparents didn't even leave a word. The whole family moved out of the royal city, leaving only Liu Mei. She left a few guards behind and lied to her that her mother had left them for her. Although Liu Mei never knew that her mother was dead, she knew subconsciously, so she never called out for so many years. I’m going to go find my mother.”

Beta frowned when he heard that. Seeing that Shasha's mood became not good, he changed the topic.

"Besides your real eldest sister, I also discovered something very strange."

The second princess turned sideways and looked at Beta, indicating that she was listening.

"In order to compete for the throne, you royal children are indeed... fighting in a small way." Beta asked very strangely: "There are not twenty big aristocratic families in the French city, but there must be at least ten. Why? Not involved."

But Shasha smiled softly: "As for this issue, it is actually easy to explain. The succession of our royal family will be resolved internally, and no one is allowed to interfere, not even the Temple of Light."

"Is there such a rule?"

Shasha nodded: "Well, it seems to have been implemented more than two hundred years ago. Anyway, it is recorded in the books. As long as someone uses external force, he will be targeted by all other people with inheritance rights."

"But it's hard to define whether to rely on external force or not." Beta said lightly: "Like the sixth princess, her grandfather's family sent three powerful professionals to protect her. Does it count as using external force?"

"It doesn't count, it's useless if we say it." Shasha said slowly: "Father has to say it."

Beta just listened... The interests involved in the matter of the throne are really too great. It is impossible that no nobles will stand in line, and it is also impossible that no one is willing to support a certain princess or prince, unless the nobles of the Kingdom of France They are all crazy.

After all, people are driven by profit. For the sake of profit, those nobles dare to trample all the morals and laws in this world.

Therefore, Beta did not believe that the nobles would really be so good.

Of course, Beta would not say this in front of Shasha. He could see that Shasha was very proud and satisfied with the rules of the royal family.

While the two were chatting, the sixth princess Mu Lin walked down from above. Although she looked weak,

When she saw Shasha and Beta, her face was full of wonder: "I remember that I seemed to be following Cook to chase the criminal who stole the body. Why are I suddenly at the second sister's house? And it's dark."

Shasha gave Beta a 'you know' look, and then continued: "When you were chasing people, you suddenly fainted. It was Cook who sent you back."

Um?

Mu Lin immediately checked her clothes and body, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding no abnormalities.

"By the way, why would I..."

Beta suddenly interrupted the other party: "I'm not so hungry that I'm interested in a tomboy."

Beta grinned, with a rather mocking look on his face.

Mu Lin was so angry that her face turned green, and she immediately quarreled with Beta, forgetting to ask why she fainted.

Sasha was behind, casting a grateful look at Beta.

After arguing with the Sixth Princess for a while, Beta went back to his room to rest. The next day, he went to the magic shop to buy some materials as usual, but on his way back, he was blocked in front of him by a middle-aged bald man.

I've seen a lot of bald betas, but this middle-aged bald one, I don't know, will give him a "bald head plus critical attack" temperament. Maybe it's the square face shape, or maybe it's the other party's calm yet sharp aura.

The opponent was followed by three professionals who were obviously elite soldiers, but Beta did not sense any malice from the opponent.

"Cook Green!" The middle-aged bald man smiled slightly: "If you don't mind, can you come to the side with me and have a chat?"

Beta nodded.

The two sat on the second-floor balcony of the nearby pub. The other party looked at Beta and said, "You are more handsome and powerful than the intelligence said."

Beta was not surprised and just asked calmly: "Have you investigated me?"

"Of course. A man suddenly appeared next to the second princess and the sixth princess. We have to investigate it no matter what." The middle-aged bald man said with a smile: "This is the basic conduct of being a lackey of the royal family. By the way, let me introduce myself. I am Lizzie. , the former guard commander of the palace."

"So, Mr. Lizzie, what do you want from me?" Beta picked up the cloth bag in his hand, which was filled with magic materials: "I have to rush back to conduct magic experiments."

"Then I won't beat around the bush." ​​Lizzie's expression changed, from the gentleness just now to the formidable one now: "I will convey the next words on behalf of His Majesty the King."

Beta's mind moved, and then he made a 'please' gesture.

Looking at Beta's calm expression, Lizzie nodded, a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes: "The king asked me to ask you, second princess or sixth princess, which one do you want to choose?"

The king of France is actually promoting his own daughter?

As the most powerful human empire in the world, the princess of France should never have to worry about getting married, and if she wants to get married, it should be mainly a political marriage. Now the king of the most powerful country in the world actually sent someone to marry her. He promoted his daughter in front of Beta.

Beta felt that if he hadn't heard wrongly, then there must be something fishy going on.

If there is no problem with the above two and they are both facts, then there can only be something wrong with the king's head.

"Sorry, I am only the teacher of the second princess, and I have no interest in the sixth princess." Beta smiled and said: "Since you have investigated me, you should know that I have a very beautiful alien in my manor in Lago County. woman."

The middle-aged bald man nodded: "Although I have never seen her, the report says that she is as beautiful as a goddess who has descended into the mortal world."

Beta chuckled and said, "Judy is not only beautiful, but also very gentle. With such a woman by my side, do you think I will be interested in other women?"

"Do you think Princess Shasha is not as good as your foreign woman?" Lizzie's face was a little gloomy, as if he would immediately turn against Beta as soon as he admitted it.

"It is what it is."

Lizzie exuded heavy pressure and momentum, and it could be seen that he seemed to be in a bad mood. But within ten seconds, he suddenly smiled: "Although I think there are few women in the world who are better than Princess Shasha and more suitable to be a wife, but since you are not interested, forget it. The king doesn't have one anyway. What to force?"

"Although the king did not force anything, as an elder who watched Princess Shasha grow up, I hope she can find a good man." Lizzie smiled: "It is rare to see her willing to get close to a man. The sixth princess is also... Although I heard that you two often quarrel, but you are the first one to sit down and chat with her after the quarrel."

Beta said: "Should I feel very honored?"

"If they were ordinary nobles, it wouldn't matter if two sisters married you." Lizzie didn't mind Beta's secret sarcasm: "But they are the princesses of our country of France. It is impossible for both of them to marry the same man. .We Frances also want to save face.”

"If one day you change your mind and are willing to marry Princess Shasha, you can come to me again. Of course, you can't think about it for too long."

After speaking, Lizzie left.

Beta carried the magic materials and walked to the second princess's manor. Along the way, he looked at the bustling streets, the people coming and going, the sea of ​​people, and listened to the hawking and noise along the street.

Frank City is very prosperous, lively, and rich.

But Beta felt more and more that there seemed to be many things wrong in this city.

Except for Kalle, who was a rather out-of-the-way noble, the other nobles in Fran City were simply good citizens.

I didn’t see them killing people in the street, nor did I see them bullying men and women, nor did I see them torture and insult civilians at every turn.

This is wrong... If one or two nobles can reach this level, Beta believes, but if... almost all nobles are like this, then there is a big problem.

Is it because the pressure of the King of France is too tight and they dare not express their opinions casually? Or perhaps, as Princess Shasha said, they did not dare to participate in the battle for the throne, so they were cultivating their moral character.

Beta returned to the manor and saw Princess Shasha dressed up, wearing a bright red robe, and getting ready to go out.

"Don't you bring two or three guards?" Beta said with some worry: "You have been assassinated before, so it is always good to bring a few people with you."

"No, I'm going to the palace this time." Shasha said softly, "Father has something to summon me."

"Then I'll wait for you to come back in the manor." Beta waved his hand and left first.

A maid who came out of the palace said: "Second princess, please get in the car. The eldest princess and His Majesty the King have been waiting for you for a long time."

Shasha got on the carriage, and not long after, she entered the palace, which was guarded by many checkpoints.

Looking at King Fran who was sitting on the big chair in the palace, Shasha's expression did not change much, but her voice and tone of voice were obviously weak and even a little scared.

Next to the gray-haired king, stood a woman in black.

The face of the woman in black is very pale, and there are thick dark circles under her eyes, which look like two panda eyes.

"Sister, when did you come back?"

Shasha's voice sounded extremely frightened.
