The queen visited the second lady of Howard's house so frequently that even Fernando couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong. But fortunately, the crown prince came here in secret every time, and Howard was secretly protecting and helping. Even if the new king was suspicious, he could not find the loophole for a while.

At the same time, under the queen's plan, the "dignified five-star character" was successfully arranged by Howard to the Knights' residence, and all subsequent meetings were also changed here. The crown prince has a better swordsman teacher, it's just that the teaching process... doesn't seem to be going so well.

After disarming the blond prince for the third time in just ten minutes and forcing him to let go of the rapier, Eugene looked at the queen and said in a language only two people could understand: "He's not good at this."

It's just a question of not being good at it, but after several fights, Durand has been forced to retreat again and again, and he looks very embarrassed when he is out of breath.

Seeing this, Yu Yuan was also a little helpless, "Let's take a rest first."

A sentence has to be said twice in two languages, which can be said to be a very competent translator.

Taking advantage of this gap, Eugene went to wipe his sword. Yu Yuan could clearly feel that for this foreign youth, when he had a good sword in his hand, he seemed to have a different temperament. Thinking of the previous title of [Storm Rider], I don't know how this person came to their country as a slave.

Durand sat down next to him, with a hint of decadence in his brows.

"Durand, it's alright." As a gamer, Yu Yuan can see Durand's talent value. The little prince is indeed a shortcoming in terms of force. On the contrary, his strategy, intelligence, etc. are higher. Fernando.

But since there are shortcomings, you can't leave it alone. You must know that Yu Yuan learned to check the talent level for the first time. When he saw Howard's "force value: S" and Durand's "force value: B", it really formed a sharp contrast. .

He couldn't let the little prince go on like this, at least he had to get to the A grade, then he could be considered a qualified monarch.

Of course, Durand will not be easily defeated like this. He has been taught by many swordsmanship teachers since he was a child, but he is not proficient in this way, and rarely uses swordsmanship. Now he suddenly encounters such an opponent. assigned to his teacher. For Durand, there was only one thought on his mind: He had to bridge the gap.

The queen was still comforting her with kind words, for fear that her method of "throwing people directly into the water to teach swimming" would dampen the enthusiasm of the little prince, and she still shared her "parenting experience" with Lin Ling in her head.

"Am I going too fast like this?" Now Eugene and Durand have fought back and forth a few times since he pressed their heads to recognize each other, and it took less than half an hour in total.

"This is a game, my friend, stay awake, let's not say that you are not really raising cubs - the data of your little prince is slowly rising little by little." In reality, Lin Ling was chewing the afternoon tea provided by the company. The milk tea pearls in the room were slurred, "Don't worry about dim sum, son."

"...you shut up."

In fact, Yu Yuan can also see the various values ​​of the little prince, and the completion degree of "1/100" in [King Stage 1] has now risen to "10/100", which is the ability required by the monarch. The numbers are slowly rising.

Not long after Eugene came back, the two fought again.

As the leader of the Knights, Howard often stayed here. At this time, he was watching not far away, and then he came to the Queen's side.

"Are you sure you want to keep teaching like this?"

From his point of view, although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with this black-skinned mouse, he has to admit that the other party is indeed powerful, and compared with the crown prince, it is even more heaven and earth.

"I'm very sure."

Of course, Yu Yuan knew better than others that Eugene's statistic was "force value: S", which was already the highest value. Even Fernando had the same S as Howard. If the little prince can persist, it will not be difficult to improve over time.

However, Yu Yuan also ignored another factor: Eugene himself.

This "rare five-star character" is not as peacefully a good teacher as he imagined and instructed to accompany students.

Although this foreign visitor is not proficient in the local language, there is no big problem in simple dialogue and communication, especially one-sided. Every time you hit the sword of the prince in front of you until you let it go, you will inevitably say "I suggest you give up learning swords early".

It can be said that he is a teacher who is very good at persuading him to quit.

He didn't know that the person in front of him was the crown prince of this country, and he didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in the royal family. He only thought that the prince was the queen's own child. Seeing that Durand's tiger's mouth opened and a wound began to bleed, he said the longest sentence so far in a very awkward voice, "Your mother should care about you very much, but I think you might as well give up early. Let me bully you. That level really doesn't make sense."

No sarcasm, just frankly expressing my most intuitive feelings.

The words were stumbling and mixed with wrong syllables, but Durand still understood it, and only the two people here heard this sentence.

The smell of blood seemed to fill the nostrils.

Durand's eyes narrowed and he picked up his sword.

"Come again."

One day passed like that.

That night, as soon as he returned to the palace, before the new king summoned any new orders, the king came first.

In this regard, Lin Ling commented: "I often doubt who the two of you are the king and the queen."

"When I overthrow him and the little prince becomes the king, I'll be honorable, hey, should be the queen mother?" Yu Yuan didn't understand what it should be in the Western context, but it was a fact that he would have killed two kings by then. .

Fernando is coming over now for something, and as soon as he comes up, he cuts to the chase, "You're meeting Durand."

He deliberately prevented the two from meeting, except for some selfishness, but also did not want the queen to be involved in the issue of the crown prince. The royal city is constantly fighting in secret, and it is not as calm as it seems on the surface.

"How is that possible, Your Majesty." Of course Yu Yuan would not admit it, "I just went to the suburbs to relax, and Miss Wendy from the Howard family was with me."

The peers are really peers, but after arriving at the place, he quietly finds an opportunity to go to the knights station. The two knights arranged by Fernando were blocked by Captain Howard for various reasons. In this regard, thanks to the fact that the Howard family has always been neutral, the knights only serve the royal family and are not biased towards anyone, and the new king cannot be found. reason to doubt.

But even if he said this, Fernando still noticed the problem long ago, and left with a sentence, "You better not let me find something and lock you in the palace" before leaving.

He still had to think of a new way.

After a while, the maid Nancy knocked on the door, "Your Highness the Queen, Princess Madeleine wants to see you."

This time, Yu Yuan suddenly had inspiration and hurriedly let Madeleine in.

If he took Madeleine to the suburbs to relax, maybe it would be a cover to reduce the risk of being discovered by Fernando.

Little Madeleine walked in with her skirt in hand, her face flushed, "Your Highness the Queen."

"What's the matter with coming to me so late?" Yu Yuan reached out and rubbed the princess' soft blonde hair, and said warmly, "Just call me Edith."

The little princess looked a little hesitant, but he understood at a glance, and motioned Nancy to go out first.

Madeline breathed a sigh of relief and blinked her big watery eyes, "Queen, no, Edith, would you like to accompany me to a place?"

"Where?"

Looking at her like this, Yu Yuan felt that he might have unintentionally triggered some task link. Perhaps as Lin Ling said before, as long as the main NPC that can actively appear in front of the player cannot be set for no reason, there must be a corresponding purpose.

"You agreed?" Madeleine nodded when she saw the queen, and immediately grabbed the other party's hand, "Come with me."

After several gates, two figures walked through the palace under the darkness.

The road became more and more familiar as he walked, Yu Yuan looked at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Madeline, where are you taking me?"

The little princess still didn't speak.

"Isn't this kid going to take me to the cemetery?" Yu Yuan's target this time became Lin Ling.

The scenery along the way is too familiar, it is exactly the same as the direction he went to the cemetery on the first night of the game.

"On the bright side, maybe she just misses her father." Lin Ling said, "By the way, take your 'mother' to visit her father. Your ex-husband will definitely be moved."

"...Ex-husband, don't make it up."

"Tips, little prince, pushy, ex-husband, black-skinned mouse, I have to sigh with emotion that being a queen really attracts male NPCs." Lin Ling was still counting the numbers over there, "Of course, the little princess also likes you very much. , or your personal charm."

The key NPCs involved in the plots of different characters are different. If the relationship between the Minister of Finance and the head of the Knights is a nod to the beginning, there are even other characters who will become enemies. Not necessarily every identity has such a good popularity as a queen. .

Yu Yuan directly and selectively ignored him.

At the end, as expected, Madeleine took him to the cemetery.

"What's here?" Yu Yuan patiently said to Madeleine, "Just tell me what you're looking for, and I'll find it for you, so don't go in, okay?"

It's not that he thinks too much, it's really because this is a cemetery after all, and the night wind blows gloomily at night, so it's really not good for a child to go there.

But Madeleine shook her head very firmly, "Let's go in together."

Yu Yuan had no choice but to continue to hold her hand.

The cemetery under the night was unusually quiet, perhaps because there was not much moonlight tonight, but the atmosphere was more gloomy than the first time I came. Some crows stood on the dead branches and made a hoarse cry, as if their throats were being choke.

Madeleine wore a white dress and her eyes were blank. At this time, Yu Yuan suddenly recalled the Princess Daisy she saw that night, who was also blonde and also had a white dress.

Because he had doubts about the cause of the princess's death before, he also deliberately checked the information in the royal archives in the library. Princess Daisy indeed died of a sudden illness last year, and her health was not good since she was a child. Wells I have also found many famous doctors from all over the world for this daughter.

But why did Princess Daisy's soul reappear in the cemetery? It's not that Yu Yuan hadn't considered this reason, or he wouldn't have delved into the truth of the other party's death. It is impossible for an important NPC to be set up without cause and effect. It would be a waste to just provide a clue and disappear.

Now Madeleine takes him to the cemetery again... Could it be because of the ghost Daisy?

Going further and further, and soon arrived near the tombstone last time. Yu Yuan remembered that location, where the King of Wales was buried.

But he seemed destined to be disappointed, nothing happened tonight, the land was very peaceful. No one showed up, let alone a ghost, just Madeleine wanted to be here.

Madeleine took him and stood in front of Wells' tombstone.

Just as Yu Yuan wanted to comfort the little princess not to be too sad, she heard Madeleine say, "Father is looking at me."

"He will always be watching you, Madeleine, and he will always be watching you in the sky," the Queen comforted.

"No." Madeline said firmly, pointing to the location of the tombstone, "Father is standing here."

This sentence is a bit surprising when matched with the current situation. Even Yu Yuan was taken aback by surprise, but quickly realized that the little princess just missed her father, so she continued: "Madeleine, I can understand that you miss him very much. I am also willing to accompany you to visit here often, but you also need to learn to accept that your father has passed away."

Madeleine seemed a little anxious, "Edith, you can't see it, but I can see it."

"He's smiling, looking at me, no, now he's looking at you." Madeline pointed to somewhere in the air, as if someone was really moving, and the direction her arm was pointing moved with it, Little by little, from the direction of the tombstone... in front of the Queen.

It was as if what she called "the unseen ghost of the king" had stopped before the queen.

"Madeleine, this kind of joke is really unnecessary." Yu Yuan couldn't help feeling angry and funny, just as he was about to continue, Madeleine interrupted.

"It's true, you believe me. I've seen my father here since the day he was buried at the funeral." Madeleine was a little aggrieved, but also knew that this kind of thing was not easy to believe. "Edie Si, what do I do to make you believe me?"

While speaking, her eyes kept glancing to the side, as if someone else was really communicating with her there.

"Let's go back first, you should have a rest at this time."

Madeleine bit her lip and kept her eyes fixed on somewhere in the void before she said, "Father said, there is a mark on your back."

"......what?"

A gust of night wind blew, and the air seemed to have a hint of coolness.

Madeleine paused again, and then continued: "He said he had seen it, while you were asleep... more than once. The trace is in the middle of the back, a circular circle, a hexagram. In the center is the pattern of the eyes..."

Not bad description, Yu Yuan even changed his face now.

"You have to turn all the dead NPCs into ghosts in this game?? Haunted every other day??"

Lin Ling was very calm, "Xihuan, brother, you've seen vampires and werewolves, what's wrong with more ghosts?"

Madeleine saw the dull expression on the queen's face and said again: "Father is standing in front of you now."

Yu Yuan seemed to really feel a gust of wind rising from the soles of his feet. God knows whether the death of the old king has anything to do with the queen.

First, the little princess brought him here inexplicably, and now the other party said that he could see the ghost of the old king - the most terrible thing is that this sentence is actually true.

"Wells—he asked you to bring me here?" Yu Yuan asked.

He quickly did a good job of psychological construction to clarify the current situation. If you think about it carefully, there is not much to be surprised. Even the ghost Daisy who appeared before, if you push it down carefully, it may be the ghost of the king. hint.

Madeleine nodded, her eyes stopped in the void from beginning to end, "Father said there was something to tell you."

Sure enough, there is information.

Yu Yuan nodded.

"He said, let you go to this place in the library." Madeleine reported the number of the bookshelf, "There is a book, and my father said that you would recognize it when you saw it, and let you do it according to the content... ..."

After finishing a series of complicated content, at this time, I heard Madeleine say again: "Father is very close to you, uh..."

"What's wrong?" If Madeleine hadn't been there, Yu Yuan would have wondered if the king was going to ask him for his life.

"He kissed you." Madeline pointed to her forehead. "Kiss here."

"..." Yu Yuan felt that he had never encountered such an outrageous scene in the game until now.

Madeleine's pale face blushed, "Kiss again."

"..." Yu Yuan's ruthless voice sounded in his mind, "Technician Lin, come out and die, what are the settings?"

"First of all, I didn't participate in the dungeon program." Lin Ling was wronged. "Secondly, your identity is the queen of others, and your ex-husband has turned into a ghost. What's the matter with kissing you both? Besides, you can't feel it."

Too.

But the more he thought about it, the more Yu Yuan felt as if there was a cold touch on his forehead.

Madeleine, who is responsible for communicating between ghosts and people, said:

"Father also said that he was very happy to see you, twice in a row."

"He misses you too."

"Edith, he asked if you had anything to tell him?"

Yu Yuan thought for a while, and stared at the void that Madeleine had been looking at. There was indeed nothing to be seen there. In fact, only tombstones could be seen, but Madeleine had already convinced him of the existence of Wells' ghost. .

"...I wish your father good health for me." He didn't know what to say anymore.

Madeleine smiled sweetly and said yes, and then she delivered the last sentence.

"My father said, I look forward to the day I see you again."

"Also, stay away from Fernando."
