The Master of the Strange Realm

Salhi II wore a dress decorated with medals, a red cape, and a cane with a bear head gold ornament in his left hand. He strode onto the red carpet without anyone's help, and nodded to the citizens who were stopped by the police behind the cordon. Following him were the Stuarts with different expressions wearing the same gray cape, and behind them were other nobles and officials in the delegation.

Similarly, the silver-haired Queen Isabella did not let anyone help her, and led the royal family members and local nobles behind her to greet them.

Behind the queen, Jenkins looked at Sallot Stuart behind Salhi II in surprise. His left arm was cut off in the ice festival accident, and Jenkins asserted that he had lost his heir status. When he met the prince in Rune not long ago, his left arm was always empty, but at this time, the left sleeve was not empty.

"Wooden prosthesis?"

He saw the part outside the cuff clearly, but looked at Salhi II in confusion. Since Salhi brought Salhi here, it means that he thinks Salhi is still qualified to inherit, that is to say, the king does not seem to mind that his heir is missing an arm.

Chapter 1615 Chapter 1590 Excited Welcome

"Hail to you, the guardian of Fidictli."

The two kings walked towards each other at almost the same speed, looking at each other as they walked. When they were still ten feet apart, Salhi II spoke respectfully first, using Hampawo, and the translator behind the queen immediately translated in her ear.

Salhi II is younger than Queen Isabella of Fidictli, and as a junior, he should be the first to say hello.

"Nice to meet you, the lion of the north, you look so much like your grandfather~"

The silver-haired, round-faced old man was full of smiles on his face, taking off his gloves as he spoke, and Salhi II did the same. After a few seconds, the two hands were clasped together, and then they looked at the densely packed cameras set up on one side of the red carpet at the same time.

The flash that followed turned the entire auditorium white in an instant. This scene will probably be remembered by people for hundreds of years.

The two kings met and exchanged simple greetings, but did not leave immediately. In the auditorium, Salhi II and Queen Isabella sat together and had a brief talk in the presence of the public, reporters and noble officials of the two countries. The two expressed their views on the current situation on the continent, reiterated their respective claims on the bordering territories, and recalled the friendly exchanges between the two countries in the past history...

In short, they were all very boring official content, and Jenkins lost interest halfway through. He raised his head to look at the princes and daughters behind Salhi II, and happened to see Dolores, who was full of excitement, looking over on tiptoe.

Her Royal Highness immediately caught Jenkins's sight, winked at her playfully, and was then reminded by her eldest sister to be polite. Jenkins smiled and nodded in response, looking forward to the reunion with Dolores and Alexia.

In fact, as Queen Isabella, she didn't have to come here in person to welcome Salhi II. Both of them were kings, and she was very old. Even if she was waiting in Cold Spring Palace, it was understandable that she only sent representatives and confidants.

There was only one reason for coming in person, that is, before the arrival of Cheslan's delegation, to create a false impression of close relations between the country and the North, and to show the king of the North his friendship and expectations.

In any case, during the war between the Kingdom of Fidictli and the Kingdom of Cheslan, the attitude of the Kingdom of Hampavo in the North was very important.

After a brief but unusually grand welcome ceremony, the convoy returned to the city with the sound of the royal orchestra. Salhi II and Queen Isabella shared a carriage, while the members of the royal families of the two countries still rode separately. Jenkins sat with Miss Windsor and Miss Capet and returned to the city again after a shaking and bumpy journey.

Considering that the North Country delegation had traveled a long way, the formal banquet will be held tomorrow evening. Therefore, after returning to the city, they only arranged the hotel for the North Country delegation to stay, and today's affairs were temporarily over.

After saying goodbye to Miss Capet, who seemed to have something to say, and Miss Windsor, who was a little tired, Jenkins excitedly rushed to the residence arranged by the North Country royal family with the cat.

It was a large manor of the royal family near Cold Spring Palace. It was carefully cleaned and tidied a week before the delegation arrived, which also indirectly proved that Her Majesty the Queen knew the scale of this delegation.

There were guards at the door of the manor, but Jenkins didn't care. He got permission to enter with a small lie. There were patrolling guards and escorts inside the manor, as well as visitors who came to visit in a hurry, but Jenkins didn't care. The flower beds, plants and fences in the courtyard provided him with the best cover.

As for the people walking in the manor building, they couldn't see Jenkins either, because Jenkins climbed directly from the back wall to the third floor, and then knocked on the glass of Dolores' room-he could see the aura directly, and it was very simple to confirm the location of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Oh, Alexia~"

Julia helped open the window, and Jenkins jumped into the room nimbly, then opened his arms and hugged Alexia who was sitting in front of the desk.

"Why are you so excited? We just met two days ago."

The short lady said with a delighted smile. She wore a brown short coat with decorative buttons over a white women's pleated sleeve shirt. This made her look particularly energetic and she did not seem to be tired of the long distance. Tired from traveling.

"This is different. How long has it been since the last time I hugged you in Fidictle's territory?"

He looked at his beloved girl with a smile and asked again.

"You have never embraced my body in this land."

The short lady said playfully, "The people who hugged here before were projections."

Behind the two of them, Julia, who had just closed the window and tightened the curtains, turned around and saw her princess and Jenkins' cat sitting on the bed. The expressions on their faces were exactly the same.

Jenkins was so excited about the arrival of Alexia and Dolores that he completely forgot about the fact that they would definitely meet Hathaway Britney.

After ending his hug with Alexia, he happily talked about his plans for the next few days. Jenkins planned to accompany the girls for a serious stroll around the city of Beldiran. Although he was not a local, he knew that the ladies from the North were coming, but he actually made preparations. This was probably the most exciting thing recently. things.

"We can talk about the travel later. There are more important things now. The steam airship has landed several times on the way. We learned from the newspaper that your queen has officially recognized the relationship between the royal family and your family? "

Alexia is still so rational.

"Yes."

He then introduced the changes that had occurred in Beldiran in just a few days, and explained his plans and preparations without reservation. Alexia was very happy that Jenkins could make up her mind, and Dolores and Julia also felt that this was the right choice.

As for the treasure outside Belduran, Dolores said that she could mobilize enough manpower to participate in the excavation, and thought that it would be a good thing to cooperate with the local nobleman, Miss Windsor.

"After all, we are not locals. If we want to support your actions, we will encounter many obstacles. But is that Miss Windsor really trustworthy?"

Dolores asked.

"Very credible, no one can lie to me."

Jenkins said.

"Then what's your relationship with her?"

Alexia asked again.

"Friendship."

Jenkins can swear on chocolate and it's absolutely true.

Chapter 1616 Chapter 1591 Where the Soul of Ice Is

"Just friends? If you really want to cooperate with her, maybe it would be good to take the relationship further."

The short lady suggested casually. When Jenkins looked at her doubtfully, she chuckled and said:

"She must have similar thoughts. Cooperation with a mere verbal agreement will not be reliable. You are worried that she will have other ideas. Why wouldn't she be worried that you will not pay attention to her when you have more supporters? That Miss Windsor Since in your description, you are the kind of woman who is decisive and courageous in doing things, she will definitely look for opportunities to break through the current relationship with you, even if she knows that you cannot marry her. "

"This is politics."

Dolores added that she was not worried about women who suddenly jumped out and threatened her status. She knew that Jenkins was not essentially a playboy.

"Meow~"

Chocolate thinks that young people are young people, which is too simple.

Jenkins didn't quite agree with their views. He only formed an alliance with Miss Windsor because of the throne, and had no particular thoughts about the lady. But that is also a matter for the future. The top priority now is to arrange a meeting between Dolores and her party and Miss Windsor to formally confirm the cooperation. This is also because Jenkins is not the kind of person who is good at planning large-scale events or long-term plans, so he is also happy to have someone to help him accomplish those things.

While he was talking to the girls, he suddenly took out his monocle, and then turned to look at Dolores. Faced with the strange sight that seemed to penetrate people's clothes, Dolores did not dodge or avoid it. Instead, she raised her chest and faced Jenkins. Unfortunately, Jenkins' glasses did not have a see-through function.

On Dolores's chest, Jenkins saw a slender blue flame. That was obviously much bigger than the black flame on Miss Windsor's chest, which further proved that Miss Windsor was indeed the one who gave birth to the Dark Soul.

"The soul of ice is indeed in Dolores. There can be no one else but her."

He thought about putting away his glasses, and facing the doubtful glances of the ladies, he thought for a while and said what happened to Wang Hun. Upon hearing this, Dolores immediately said that she could give the ice soul to Jenkins now, but was stopped by Jenkins:

"The king soul represents the qualification to be king. Although only the four king souls are useful, [Uncrowned King] corresponds to the emperor of all mankind, and a single soul may indicate that you will become the king of a kingdom."

Jenkins patted Dolores on the shoulder:

"There is no need to worry now. Just keep this ice soul. When you ascend the throne, I have also found the other three king souls. It will not be too late to give it to me."

Alexia also agreed with Jenkins. When she was looking for information on the Difference Engine in the tower, she also saw legends related to the savior. Therefore, she thought it was best to let nature take its course and not to consciously use the emblem of the savior. passed on to each other.

After a while, Dolores has to clean up the room and go to Salshi II to receive training with her brothers and sisters. Alexia wants to return to Loen City to see the little princess Agelina Stuart. Whether the government handles government affairs well according to their arrangements.

Jenkins then wanted to leave first and come back early tomorrow morning. But before everyone could say goodbye, there was a knock on the door of Dolores' room. The owner of the useless room asked who was outside, and the voice of the eldest princess Yanni Stuart came in.

Jenkins frowned and turned around to look for a hiding place, and then spotted the closet in the corner. Alexia gestured to Jenkins to wait. After thinking about it for a while, she motioned for Julia to open the door directly.

Julia looked at Dolores, who trusted her teacher so much that she nodded and asked her to do it. When opening the door, the beautiful head maid deliberately controlled not to open the door wide, so that only the people standing at the door could see that there was a man inside, and people further away could only see the door.

"oh?"

The eldest princess of the Stuart family raised her eyebrows and said, recognizing Jenkins at a glance. But she did not scream or show surprise, but walked into the door. Julia immediately closed the door, blocking out the eldest princess's servants and servants.

Alexia casually threw down a silencing charm to ensure that the conversation in the room would not be heard by outsiders.

"Jenkins Willamt? No, you should be called Jenkins Middleton now."

She didn't care about her sister's wary gaze, and walked straight to Jenkins and stretched out her hand. It's not a handshake, it's a kiss.

Jenkins glanced sideways at Dolores, who immediately stepped forward, grabbed her eldest sister's hand forcefully and shook it hard. Jenkins saw that after she let go of her hand, there were obvious red marks on Her Highness Yanni Stuart's hand.

"My name is Jenkins Willamette."

He emphasized that none of his family had any intention of changing their surnames, and Queen Isabella did not mention it.

"Okay, but I really didn't expect you to appear directly in the room of my immature sister."

The eldest princess grabbed Dolores' hand again:

"I thought you would come back tomorrow, but it seems I underestimated your relationship."

"Okay sister, what exactly are you going to do?"

Dolores took her hand out impatiently:

"If there is nothing else, I suggest you go to the kitchen and ask for some hot tea, and then go to your room to rest with a book in hand."

"Of course something happened..."

She looked at Jenkins:

"I want to ally with you, yes, that's it."

Yanni Stuart is rumored to have collaborated with Tree House, and this is actually true. Only after the Loen riots, that is, after her father was seriously injured, did she realize the danger of that organization, so she told the church everything she knew, which to a certain extent helped the church to master the further development of [Tree House]. intelligence and eradicate their influence in Loen.

The church did not make things difficult for her, and the eldest princess did not give up her fight for the throne because she lost the support of the tree house. It's just that during Jenkins' stay in Loon, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been avoiding direct confrontation with Dolores. Therefore, except for seeing her a few times at banquets, this woman's presence in Jenkins's eyes is quite low.

But I have to say that the children of the Stuart family should not be underestimated. The eldest princess never gave up the throne, even when her brother, the biggest obstacle, stood in front of her. Therefore, she wanted to find some partners to jointly fight against the eldest prince, and she was interested in Dolores, who had been praised by Salhi II recently for the kingdom's financial reform.

"So what happened to your eldest brother? His arm... I originally thought that your father had given up on him. I remember that when I was still in Loen, Salote was a little depressed, even very depressed. It’s hard to meet him socially.”

Only then did Jenkins remember that he still had this doubt.

"My father and my brother had a detailed discussion, and the general idea was that as long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter if you lose your left arm."

Yanni Stuart paused, obviously having something to say, but in the end she did not comment on her father's opinion.

"But in short, with big brother standing in the way, I will definitely not be able to compete with him. How about it? Do you accept my proposal?"

Chapter 1617 Chapter 1592 The gunman outside the door

On the surface, Dolores also has a great advantage in the fight for the throne, but she is also restricted by her eldest brother due to her age. Now that the royal family members have all left Loen with the king, this is a very good opportunity, especially the temporary alliance with Dolores, which means that she can also draw on the power of this country's "prince", Yanni Stuart. Quite optimistic about Jenkins.

The alliance she wants is of course not to jointly prepare an assassination plan. This is the stupidest behavior. Yanni Stuart knows that her father's body will not last long. This trip will be the last show of the Stuarts. own opportunity.

Alexia showed great interest in this cooperation, but Jenkins remained silent throughout the whole process, standing at the window and listening to the women discussing politics. He held the cat in his arms and thought about what he had experienced during the week he came to Belduran.

The area has become a political whirlpool, attracting more fishermen and fish. Everything he experienced will have a profound impact on history. The last major political event of the eighteenth century must have been what was happening at this time.

But the tragedy and comedy of this scene has not yet reached its climax, because the third protagonist of the play, the king from Turin, is still on the way.

It was already late at night when we said goodbye to Alexia and Dolores. Considering Dolores's feelings, Jenkins did not stay at Alexia's place, but planned to return to his house to rest.

Although this is still a night walk, Jenkins is not worried about encountering danger. Now that Beldiran's hidden dangers have basically been eliminated, the murder against him cannot happen at this time, because no one knows that he went to the mansion where the Northern Royal Family stayed.

He returned to his house safely, intending to read the divination notes given to him by the ancient soothsayer girl for a while before going to bed to sleep.

Sitting in front of the table in the study room, lighting the gas lamp, imprinting the words in the "Book of Memories" on a blank notebook, holding the notebook up and reading the beautiful words on it carefully. After a while, a black shadow rose from behind the notebook. Jenkins looked up and saw his cat standing on two legs, lying on the almost vertical cover of the notebook, with its head and little paws exposed above the notebook.

"Meow~"

It greeted Jenkins and slapped the notebook with its paws.

"I'll play with you later, I'm reading a book."

As he spoke, he forcefully "picked" the cat off the notebook and put it on his lap. Chocolate was a little dissatisfied, but was quickly suppressed by Jenkins' left hand.

When the time came to eleven o'clock, he planned to end this tiring day and go to bed. While I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom in my pajamas, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The house in Belduran is an apartment-style building facing the street. It does not have its own garden or yard. The door is directly outside the door, so there is no way of ringing the door.

"Who is it so late?"

He thought in confusion, squinted his eyes and looked downstairs, but saw no aura.

"strangeness."

He put down the water glass and carried the cat to the bedroom window. He leaned against the wall and raised the gap in the curtain with his fingers to look down. Under the dim street light, he saw a man in a black hat standing against the door.
