Burris vaguely sensed that the atmosphere was a little strange, and the previous conversation seemed to touch something they had never talked about. He was hesitating whether he should ask or not. At this time, Esther hesitated and said: "Teacher, I know the Otarot believers can’t get along with us. But... But Sir Naler’s situation is rather special, I didn’t want to tell. Yours, but since that's it..."

Burris slammed the table to stand up, shocking Lott and the dog. "What? What do you mean?" The mage stared at the raven on the bookshelf, "Are you pregnant?!"

"No!" Esther almost screamed, "Why do you think that?"

"Then what do you mean? What is a special situation?"

"That's it. Ten days later, it was my mother’s birthday, and there was a banquet in the palace as usual. Those few days happened to be the day when Sir Naylor returned to the capital to report on his duties. I received a letter from him not long ago. He usually doesn’t talk much. But as soon as I wrote a letter, it was sour and numb...In short, what he meant was that he would carefully prepare a gift for my mother, and he might ask me...that...propose to me..."

"You want to agree?" Burris asked.

Maybe Esther was a little embarrassed, so she didn’t answer directly: "I am the first heir to the throne. According to the ancestral system, I cannot marry outside. Sir Naylor is the second son of the family. He happens to be able to join the royal family. This is also mentioned in the letter, and it can be seen that he is indeed very sincere... Now what I worry about is that Black Cliff Castle is remote. Sir Naylor probably hadn’t heard those rumors when he wrote. In the royal capital, there must be some little nobles buzzing around him... What if he believes the rumors? If he really thinks that I will have a private meeting with the'son of the necromancer'... It’s a trivial matter whether he asks or not. More importantly, he won’t trust me anymore. He might even pursue my uncle’s daughter Tarina...in case he and Tarina get engaged. , My uncle’s power will expand further..."

"You think so much. As far as I know, your cousin is only thirteen years old."

"My mother was engaged to my father when she was fourteen."

Burris thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean. Esther, I may be able to help you clarify the rumors, but I need you to do me a favor..."

"Should I still need the access permission of the security guard of the large library? No problem, tutor."

"Long-term multiple access permission."

The princess thought for a moment: "This may be a little troublesome, I will try my best. So, do you plan to come to Wangdu to attend my mother's birthday party?"

"Yes, the more open and honest you are, the less the rumors have a foothold. Just recently I was thinking about the future. I can't keep hiding like this. Sooner or later, the outside world will have to get acquainted with my new identity-Krav Gelshaw , Just call it this name. Esther, help me get an invitation letter. I will prepare a gift for your mother, as a gift for the "Mage Burris" who cannot be there."

"Two invitations!" Lot said immediately, "I want to go too."

Estie didn't speak, waiting for her instructor to give her final instructions.

"Okay, two copies. Lord Lott go with me." Burris sighed. Anyway, he didn't worry about leaving the Bone Maharaja alone in the tower.

After discussing everything, Esther bid farewell to her mentor, and the metal raven flapped its wings and flew out of the tower. Lott looked at the bird’s back and asked, "Did she always use the sound-transmitting construct? Why didn't she use teleporting spells, crystal balls, etc.?"

Burris said: "The metal structure has the least fluctuations in magic. There are also spellcasters in the palace, and Esther does not want to be found out as a mage."

Lott still didn't understand: "I know that nobles in the past would not be contaminated with secret arts, but now that there are mages in the palace, why can't the princess understand spells?"

"Because the princess can't be contaminated with all'indecent' things," Burris replied, "For example, there are carpenters, tailors and cooks in the court. There is nothing wrong with these professions, but if the princess does carpentry, sewing, and cooking by herself Fans would be considered very disrespectful. What's more, Esther was involved in the study of the necromancy system like me, so she had to be more cautious in terms of hiding power. Now most people still think that necromancy is equivalent to It is manipulating the soul, desecrating the corpse...Even in the caster community, some people only admit elemental research and sensory illusion, and oppose necrology and alien studies."

Luo Fei nodded and thought of another question: "By the way, why do you hate Otarot believers so much?"

"You know why," Burris smiled bitterly. "Do you remember the knights around me sixty years ago? They have the holy emblem of the **** of silence on their black armor. In fact, they have been quite gentle with me. It's polite, at least they still treat me as a human... If it were more than a hundred years ago, the followers of Outrot would kill all necromancers."

"Now? They don't kill the spiritualist anymore?"

"They will also kill, but they will not kill casually. Now they will investigate you first, then file a lawsuit, and proceed to trial... The verdict is very negotiable, with the death penalty being severe and fines being lighter. In the past, studying death Spiritual spells are the original sin. Later, the Confederation of Ten Nations and the Austrian Federation of Laws issued a set of regulations that banned hunting without trial, legalized necrology, and also prohibited several types of necromancy. Type. Anyone is not allowed to use, study, teach, or carry related storage items. As long as you do not violate the laws, you will not be convicted. Of course, this set of laws is full of loopholes. Some mages They will be arrested for personal enmity, and some mages can use their connections and power to escape supervision."

"You are the one who escaped supervision?"

Burris pursed his lips: "Sometimes... In fact, most accomplished wizards are."

After a few seconds of silence, Lott asked again: "I thought about it carefully... You are actually not particularly opposed to Esther and the knight? You said disagree, but I can see you His attitude is not very tough at all."

Burris said helplessly: "Because Esther is a silly boy who really likes Sir Naylor. Sir, do you remember what the princess looks like?"

"Of course, she is pretty good-looking. What's wrong?"

"Remember carefully, is there anything wrong with her face?"

Lott looked up seriously for a while, as if he didn't think of anything: "Perhaps her expression is too cold and arrogant... She always seems to be sullen, maybe the princess is like this."

Burris said, "That's it. Sir, she can't laugh."

"what?"

"She can't smile. It's not that she is indifferent, but that she really can't laugh. I told you that she was very toxic before she was born and almost lived to be fourteen years old. In fact, she hasn't been until now. She really recovered... She was critically ill several times when she was twelve or thirteen years old. I had to use some more extreme drugs to save her life. Toxins and drugs produced side effects in her body and affected her appearance... A few years later , Her condition has stabilized, but she has left behind unsmiling sequelae."

Thinking of this, Burris sighed deeply, and then said: "Among the nobles in the royal capital, she has long had the title of'unsmiling princess'. Many people regard'making Esther laugh' as It’s a challenge. Some people think that someone who can make her laugh is likely to be her husband-in-law... This is about Sir Naylor. The first time I saw him was when Esther was twenty years old. On her birthday, His Majesty Pasia gave her a ranch and a dozen horses, so her birthday party was moved to the palace outside the ranch, and Sir Naylor and his brother performed a round-to-point long spear contest. , I also prepared a small military parade for Estie alone...I found out at that time, Estee looked at him a bit wrong. Before the night of the ball, I found Estie secretly used a spell for herself … She used a manipulation technique, which allows the subject to make various expressions and actions, as long as it does not exceed the limit of the subject’s body. Usually we use this spell to control the corpse and let them do Normal postures and facial expressions can be used to disguise a living person...it can be used for real living people, but it is difficult to succeed, and the subject's face will be paralyzed and uncomfortable...I have never seen anyone use this to myself, Aisi Ti is the first one I have ever seen."

Lott listened very seriously: "Why did she do this? To chase that man?"

"You can put it this way," Burris said. "I saw Sir Nylor talking to her that afternoon. The two of them agreed to finish all the songs at the prom, so that no man would have the opportunity to invite Esther. No woman was allowed a chance to hold Naylor. After the prom began, Estie danced with Naylor one after another according to the agreement, and would show a faint smile from time to time. Although she smiled stiffly, all Everyone saw it, and she did laugh. Esther’s casting time is limited. She hasn’t finished the last song yet, and hurriedly escaped from the palace like Miss Cinderella in the story... Although she is actually The future master of the palace, that knight is the selected Cinderella. From that day on, people have assumed that they will join together in the future, probably this is exactly what Esty intended."

Lott has absorbed enough energy from the love story, and now the whole person has a lot of energy: "I understand. She has a deep affection for that knight, and their relationship is expected and blessed by everyone. You are very much. Clearly, no matter how you warn, they are unlikely to be separated... However, their relationship is indeed very dangerous. The knight and the princess are contrary to their beliefs, and the princess blindly gains trust by hiding... The result is a breakup. The worst result is a rivalry, and the worse result is..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and put the Count Hrolf, who was not sleeping well in his arms, on the carpet at his feet: "Whatever the result is... it will be difficult to end this way anyway."

"So I want to check it out," Burris said. "First, I do want long-term access to the secret floor of the large library; second, over-fermentation of rumors is not good for anyone. I use my current appearance. A fair appearance may actually put out those rumors; third, I want to get in touch with the Sir Naylor more, I need to confirm...whether he will become a potential enemy."

"That said, his relationship with the princess is the last thing to consider?" Lot asked.

"That's between them. What am I thinking about?" Burris's tone was a little impatient. "As long as there is no major accident, no life, and no impact on Esther's future, they love to be together and be together. If you love to break up, you will break up. If you let me tell the truth, I actually do not support the Master and laymen together. I have met many excellent young apprentices, many of them are delayed because of marrying laymen. Yes. Even if you don’t want to find a mage, you should at least find a pharmacist, a doctor or something... Otherwise, the businessmen of the spelling material chamber can barely... Anyway, laymen will restrain you, no matter how much they respect you , The same will restrain you. They can’t understand what we love for a lifetime, and even they don’t want to understand at all. They will persuade you that ordinary life is the real life... I don’t know this is because they can only choose A dull day. I don’t want to run, so I have to use love to make hooks to pull other people’s feet."

Burris's angry look made Lott find it very interesting: "I understand, because you have never been married, so you can become a well-known mage."

Burris immediately retorted: "Your causal relationship is not accurately expressed. I chose to devote myself to research and gave up getting involved in marriage, but it was not because I was not married to be a mage. The current speaker of the Austrian Law Federation has a happy family. She My husband is a historian."

"It's not uncommon to be unmarried, haven't I been married at this age. But... haven't you ever been in a relationship?"

Burris' cheeks twitched, and he stared at the parchment in front of him in silence for a while before repliing: "People are not interested in them when they are older. It's all about young people..."

"I'm surprised," Lott sat down on the table again, leaning forward enthusiastically, "When you were talking to your Royal Highness just now, I noticed you said such a sentence... "I lived more than eighty years old. , I have seen countless people fall in love'... This is really strange, why don't you say,'I have been in love so many times'? Why do you just watch others fall in love?"

"That's just casual, not the point of my conversation with her..." Burris felt dizzy and wanted to run away.

"The more casually you say, the more it reflects people's true thoughts." And Lot chased after him.
