The Amber Sword

The courtyard was terribly quiet for a while.

Apart from the clerk lady who gave a gentle ‘ah’ short syllable and the businessman lady from East Zhang Xiwang.

Princess Griffin stared at her brother as if she were staring at an object. Her face was so cold that she could not speak easily. Brando even secretly held the handle of the sword under his coat and stared at each of his brothers and sisters. He was somewhat suspicious that His Royal Highness Prince Wang was insane because he was overwhelmed, but in either case he was sure that, as long as the other dared to be slightly offensive, he would dare to send the black blade of the sword of the earth into the other's heart before then.

As for the identity of the Prince's eldest son, what does this mean in Brando's eyes?

But the eldest son did not do anything, he stood relentlessly at the crossroads of everyone's sight, his hair naturally drooped, his eyes closed, and there was no tension between the colors - as if he had beckoned a "good afternoon" that would normally no longer be normal, instead of saying, "Please give me the throne".

“Give me a reason, brother.” Finally, like the voices of the voices of the droplets falling into the bottom of the well, the princess said in this way breaking the death-like silence.

However, her face seemed to be covered with ice.

“The reason is simple, Griffin,” the eldest son is at peace, "because you need time to unify the South, and south of Ambethel, you can find many supporters, Mr. Brando - Count of Tonigal - who may soon replace Count Jeannel. The Grand Duke of Lantoniland and the Grand Duke of Vieiro, the highland knight, will also be on your side because of Mr. Brando, with a unified southern realm, when the North will no longer be your resistance. ”

“What about you,” Princess Griffin asked, "To be king of the North? ”

“You need someone to help you out without hurting the royal majesty. More than that, the aristocrats of the North are more receptive to me than you, because the Sifah family has natural leadership over them. Beyond that, Griffin, there is a war waiting for us in the north, and I, as your natural barrier, can be. A united South and a war-torn North, which has prevailed, is obvious to you. ”

Brando's heart moved slightly.

He couldn't help but look up and seemed to want to recalculate the eldest son of Eluin. Her Royal Highness was doing the same thing as her, and she looked up and asked seriously: "If this is a lie… it would be awkward, brother. ”

“There is a war between the North and the South, but it depends on when it happens. You and I both know that Griffin, even now in the North with an incomplete Black Blade Legion and a less obedient White Lion Legion, trying to defeat the South, is already impossible. ”

Levin replied calmly, then he listened to his side, as if to confirm that Lord Wood had gone far. “Will the Temple of Fire allow Eruin to have a civil war in such circumstances? ”

“No.”

“They want you to make such a compromise with the North, preferably Eruin, as it has been since the astrologer's year. ”

“But...”

“What if you have absolute strength to sweep the North? Before they have time to protest...”

Dead silence is like the dust that precipitates in the courtyard, leaving everything but that sound motionless on the ground.

“With all due respect,” Brando finally couldn't help but ask, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time: "Your Highness, although the Queen and the Grand Duke of Sifah regard you as a puppet, as far as I can tell, are you actually behind this' game '? ”

The columns turn back and face the direction in which the sound is emitted.

His eyebrows converged like a long sword, and the whole person seemed to grow absolutely tall: "You're better than I thought, Mr. Brando, and I'm glad you didn't have to be your enemy. Can you tell me how you came to this conclusion, speculation or intuition? ”

Neither. It's just the trees planted by the forebears and the later by the cold. His Royal Highness was recorded in the history of previous generations, but only in words, and even his whereabouts were unclear. But naturally curious players are very good at catching pictures, and there are not a handful of articles about analyzing Levin Orneson Sifah's personality and life experiences.

Some are empty agencies, some are speculations, some are rumours, but it is easy to draw conclusions by linking this information to the real Prince Wang himself before him.

“Because of ambition, an ambitious man would not be willing to be merely a chess player," Brando felt that he had never been so sensible for a moment, as if he had been blessed with a heart, and all the speculations he had seen in the past about His Royal Highness the First Prince formed the basis of his statement at this moment.

He stood on the shoulders of giants and raised his head and said calmly: "If you can find Lord Wood in such a desperate state, how could you have truly let him live? ”

“It's wonderful, but it is.” The eldest son sighed: “I stopped something, within my means. The Queen Mother did something I enjoyed, but I didn't quite agree with the method. ”

“Besides, there are private interests in anyone's heart, and I do not see it as a sin.” He replied.

Her Royal Highness wanted to speak, but suddenly she stopped. She glanced at Brando, indicating that he would continue to say, for such trust, Brando HeartLink asked, “So what is your personal interest, and which side are you on? ”

“I told you we were standing together. I, to be king of the North, and you, need me to be your barrier in the North.” There is peace between the colors of the king's eldest son.

But Brando watched his expression carefully, and he had a hunch that His Royal Highness had not revealed all his true feelings. He looked subconsciously aside and saw the maid next to Levin Orneson slightly frowned.

She seemed to want to say something, but the eldest prince reached out and stopped him.

“It's all just a shadow. Do you know how it ends, just to be king of the North for a year and a half, worth your life? ”

“Brother.” Princess Griffin finally couldn't help but talk.

Prince Wang smiled and replied, "Griffin, have you ever tried to feel like you can't control your own destiny? I swear, one day I'll have to master my own path, even for a minute or a second —— remember what I told you during the winter hunt? ”

“… Eruin is a black forest, and you say that if you were the wolf, your choice would be the same…” Princess Griffin remembered the clip that fell into the snow at once, as well as the blood stained with red vision.

In astrologer's years, the scenery still feels a little chilly when the cold winds sweep over the plateau.

“Even if I bite my own leg off, I must be free, because the wilderness is where I live," replied Levin, revealing Whitesen's teeth. “Besides, I don't necessarily have to fail. The North, though challenging, always has a chance. The search for a chance to survive in despair is exactly what I am best at. ”

“Griffin, if you can't defeat me, I will defeat you mercilessly. I, like you, will not allow Ambethel to remain divided for long, not for a day.” Cold voices echo back in the vestibule.

Even the businesswoman was frightened, and she turned back and looked at the madman with open eyes.

The eldest seemed crazy, but at least he was an elegant lunatic. He gave a gift to his sister, making no mistake.

Her Royal Highness thought cold for a while before calling him, “Do you think I dare not kill you? ”

“Yes.”

“… but I will not accede to your request. ”

“And then what?” Prince Wang was not surprised and asked with a smile.

Her Royal Highness watched him quietly.

……

The two carriages fish out of the estate and many wait in the courtyard to board the carriage.

“He didn't tell the truth.” When Antittina boarded the car, she whispered to her lord: “At least not entirely. ”

“I know. What part are you talking about?” Brando, as always, lifted his own lady staff onto the carriage, a move that made him look unusual. But Brando turned a blind eye to the strange eyes cast by those who came down, and looked up and asked.

“I don't know, but I think he's hiding something, intuitive. ”

“Intuition? ”

“Intuition is also an experience, Lord.” Antitina replied seriously.

Brando thought about it and thought there was a point. He turned around and looked at the other carriage. The dark crest on the carriage was almost invisible, and he had the same doubts in his heart. His Royal Highness Prince Wang was definitely the most stable man he had ever seen since he crossed. Such a man was unlikely to tell the whole truth.

But the key is exactly what he's hiding.

He turned back and pinched Roman's nostrils and let the latter ‘oops’ fall back. Then he boarded the carriage and asked the little prince and Her Royal Highness, the princess with a cold face, to say hello before sitting next to Roman.

Princess Griffin frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.

Only about Brando here understands what she thinks. But he didn't say much, he just lifted the curtain and looked out the window. The view of Ambessel outside the window is gradually falling into twilight.

Starting today, Levin Orneson Sifah, her brother, is no longer the Crown Prince of the Korkova family, under the joint appointment of the Princess and the Temple - he will have a legal, brand new title, a new family of Sifah families.

The new Grand Duke will be appointed to prepare the North for the war against the Lions, but in fact he will be promised the King of the North, and everyone will know that.

Although this has not yet been finalized, Brando can already guess what Her Royal Highness's reply is.

It looks like a royal compromise.

But only a few of them understood the truth.

It may be argued that Her Royal Highness should be tougher, but it may also be argued that this is a more mature political instrument. But what really puzzles Griffin is that his brother looks confident.

Nobody knows if this is a wrong choice.

But in Brando's opinion, it turned out pretty good. Eru does not need a great name, but just the right amount of time, and with just a little more time, he is capable of saving the kingdom.

And what Prince Wang gave them today is exactly what he dreamed of. As long as the aristocrats of the North are no longer foolish. The princess can free her hands to clean up the turmoil in the south.

More importantly, three years of peace, three years from now, the enemies Eruin can face will no longer restrict these cocksuckers.

Prince Wang has plans. Why didn't Brando try them himself?

Valhalla was the cornerstone of all this, and he was absolutely convinced of it.

He finally looked out the window at Sunset Gold, a gleaming beachfront in that direction, as if he could see a spectacular view of the rings of the wind through a golden cloud. Then he dropped the curtains and stopped thinking about these things.

As for what Prince Wang really wants, such a history is left to the future to judge.

At least for Brando.
