Chapter 338 Starfall IX(1/2)
In fact, Afifa feels a little depressed by a series of recent events.
The sister’s affairs and the disturbing atmosphere in the palace – especially today, it is obviously an annual celebration, but I don’t know if it’s because of her sister, the father doesn’t allow her to attend.
It was very lively outside, but she could only walk alone into this quiet forest. She originally wanted to relax, but she didn't expect that a sneaky figure suddenly appeared behind the tree not far away.
"Who is there!"
This scared the little princess. There was no one around, and she herself did not bring her servants here because of a bad mood. If there were any bad people, she would not think that the assassin who dared to sneak into the palace could handle it alone.
Afifa's first reaction was to meet an assassin - after all, there were many opponents among the princes and nobles in recent years. She subconsciously took a step back and wanted to shout.
But Fang Zhu hurriedly pulled off the headscarf and spoke first: "It's me, Miss Afifa."
So Afeifa opened his mouth wide and swallowed the sound back into her stomach at the last moment. In the darkness, her eyes were shiny and she asked incredibly: "Captain Ed?"
Fang Yu nodded quickly and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Fortunately, the other party recognized him.
He was also worried that the other party would pretend not to know him because of the last time he had a conflict with them; he didn't even have to pretend that he looked sneaky and didn't look like a good person.
A Feifa's eyes were like "Why are you so bold?", and hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice: "Are you here to find my sister?"
Fang Yu's heart moved. It seemed that the rumors outside were not false, and the eldest princess was indeed under house arrest.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have asked that.
He nodded again.
Afifa was silent for a moment, but soon, she seemed to have made up her mind. "I'll take you to see her."
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel happy. Of course he understood that his plan was actually somewhat unreasonable. Although the outer area of the palace was clearly investigated, there was still a blank in the forbidden palace. How easy was it to find the place where the eldest princess was confined?
The defense of the outer periphery of the palace is so strict, how can he relax in the forbidden palace? As long as there is a negligence or a little bad luck, a mistake will occur, and it may cause big trouble. But this celebration is a rare opportunity after all, and he cannot give up. Even if he doesn't find the eldest princess in the end, he must at least go around the palace to conduct on-site inspections to facilitate the next action.
To put it bluntly, the actions tonight were somewhat of a bit of a bit of a sense of grit.
But he didn't expect that he didn't know if he was too lucky, but he actually met an acquaintance as soon as he came in. In this huge palace, the people he knew and the eldest princess were only two or three people. The chance of this one in a thousand actually made him bump into it. This should be considered as having a huge luck.
Afeifa looked at him with a complicated expression and whispered: "Bring a headscarf and don't talk, just pretend to be my servant. My sister is on the other end of the palace, so we have to pass through here. Fortunately, there are not many people in the inner palace tonight."
Fang Yu nodded to show his understanding.
He looked at the little princess again and couldn't help but think of another Afeifa he had seen.
Of course, if you want to be cute, Afeifa is much more cute. The last time this little princess got along with the Qihai Brigade was not pleasant, but probably because of her sister's affairs, she didn't have the heart to care about these things - of course, there are also many factors in this.
Fang Zhu thought.
He asked in a low voice: "Afifa, is the rumors about His Highness the Great Princess outside true?"
Afeifa nodded with hesitation.
She sighed and lowered her voice and said, "I don't know what my sister did to make her father unhappy, but after she was ordered to return to the palace, she was sentenced to abstinence. Apart from the few people around my father and sister, there were not many people who knew about this. How did you know?"
"We are entrusted by the eldest princess to help her do something." Fang Yu replied.
Although his news actually came from Bishop Faris, of course he could not involve the Temple of Marland, so he could only answer this question with ease.
Fortunately, Afeifa didn't seem to care too much. "Oh, I know this."
She shook her head gently again: "Okay, actually I don't care what you are doing, but I think my sister should be responsible. I guess... she should want to see you at this moment, but you can't stay in the palace for too long-"
Fang Yu was slightly stunned, realizing that the little princess didn't know what her sister was investigating. But he nodded immediately because he didn't plan to stay here for too long.
But Afeifa thought further.
The other party said that she was doing things for her sister - she was indeed aware of this. Her sister had also sent a letter to her before, and the letter mentioned that she was in contact with the Qihai Brigade. Afeifa understood that the reason why her sister mentioned this was because of her previous relationship with the Qihai Brigade, and her sister always respected her opinions.
But she is not a fool.
Even in Istaniya, the convener is very common, and the royal family often deals with the convener of the Adventurers Guild, but the two are just a relationship between employment and the employer. Just ask about the employment relationship, will the other party risk his life to sneak into the palace and meet his employer?
This is a bit fantastic.
After she ruled out those incredible possibilities, she was left with only one possibility. Although she had heard some rumors in the past, although this was nothing to a princess in Istaña. Are there still fewer such things among nobles?
It's true that's the relationship.
But, after all, it is the caller...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of this, Afeifa turned around and looked at Fang Yu with a strange look. The latter was slightly stunned, and he didn't understand what her look meant in his heart.
However, Afeifa did not speak anymore. He was embarrassed to ask again, and the two had to walk in silence one after another.
But as he thought, with this little princess leading the way, the way was very smooth. Most of the guards in the palace were transferred outside to maintain order, and the rest were just some servants. How could these servants doubt that Princess Afeifa would bring an outsider into the inner palace?
The two of them only asked a question or two for the guards when they entered the place where the eldest princess was confined. However, Afeifa said that they would come to see his sister, and the other party did not stop them and let them in.
When he arrived outside the hall, Afeifa stopped and stopped, "My sister is inside, you can go in and find her alone."
"Don't you go in together?" Fang Yu was a little surprised when he heard this.
Afeifa blushed and said angrily: "What am I doing when I go in?"
Fang Yu was stunned, and then he realized that the other party was going to stay here to let him go, but why did he blush?
He didn't think too much, but he couldn't help but remembered the misunderstanding with the little princess before. The place he saw in Istaniya afterwards did have a strict hierarchy. Although this does not mean that the other party's idea is right, it is impossible to say that the little princess is wrong.
It should be better to say that Istaña itself is like this, and it will take time for such a trend to change subtly in this place.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but apologize: "What happened before..."
"snort."
Afeifa snorted softly, frowned and interrupted his words.
But after pausing for a moment, she asked softly again: "...By the way, is Luo Yu okay?"
Fang Rong didn't expect that the little princess was still obsessed with this matter, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Then she mentioned that Luo Yu was not in Questak at the moment, which made the little princess look disappointed on her face.
...
When I entered the hall, because I was under house arrest, it seemed that there were not many people left by the eldest princess.
Perhaps Afifa knew this for a long time and when he brought him in, he automatically avoided the eyeliners left by the king of sand Babartan.
In short, Fang Zhuo did not meet any servant when he entered the hall. He walked through the hall and the corridor and came to a courtyard behind. Until he saw the eldest princess, the other party was enjoying the flowers alone in the courtyard.
The celebration outside the palace seemed to have begun. The noisy sound came from afar, until it reached the depths of the Forbidden Palace - looking in that direction, you could see a faint light of fire. The eldest princess was wearing plain clothes, standing under a courtyard corridor, staring at a cluster of plain flowers in the courtyard in a daze.
The snow-white flowers reflect the silver moon, and the white courtyard corridor under the tree and the girl in the courtyard corridor form a unique picture. The great princess heard the sound and turned around, so she saw Fang Zhu walk out from the sparse shadow of the simple square tree. She was slightly stunned and her beautiful eyes lit up:
"Mr. Ed, why are you here?"
Fang Yu looked around and said to the truth: "It was Afeifa who brought me here."
The other party pondered for a moment and then reacted: "Mr. Ed came for his friends, right?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but be amazed when he heard this - although his purpose might not be difficult to guess, the other party was in a difficult situation and his thinking was completely unaffected. He still grasped the center of the problem so quickly, which was what made him sigh. If it were someone else, he would probably sigh first how he sneaked into this place or how he met Afeifa?
If he reacted a little slower, he might even ask him this question on his own initiative.
But the other party had no such intention at all, and even showed the same keen insight when they first met them.
Fang Yu did not deny it and nodded.
His Highness the Princess said, "Thank you."
"Why did you say this?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment: "Don't the eldest princess know what she is going to do?"
The eldest princess smiled slightly: "Mr. Ed sneaked into the palace for his companions, I know that this is. But leaving Bein is to perform his duties and obligations, right?"
Fang Zhu was really surprised.
"How did Your Highness the Grand Princess know that I'm in Bein?"
"Let's talk about the Qihai Brigade first," the other party smiled but said, "Mr. Ed would definitely not be me who cares more, right?"
Fang Yu was silent, but did not deny it.
The eldest princess then slowly told everything that had happened before:
"I was ordered by my father and had to return to Questak, and since Mr. Ed was missing for my commission, I thought I should take this responsibility."
"More importantly, I don't know what the sages are, and whether they will attack Mr. Ed's companions again, so I dare not leave the others in Tansnier. When my father ordered him to arrive, I had no other choice but to take Mr. Ed's companions back to Questak."
Fang Yu didn't expect that the Seven Seas Brigade was not forced to come to Questak with His Royal Highness, but she took the initiative to bring it back.
However, the other party's reasons are reasonable, and he could not express any objections for a while. After thinking about it, he only asked: "Where are they now?"
"Don't worry," said the eldest princess again. "My father's goal is me. I asked Achilles to place them in the city without any concerns about safety. However, Mr. Ed's companions were not all in Questak, and Tansneer left some of the manpower."
She paused: "This is because the Qihai Traveler is still there. Mr. Ed's companion proposed to keep someone to guard. After weighing the pros and cons, I agreed."
"What is left is the Mr. Paladin of Rotao and an elf lady. I deliberately blocked the shipyard before I left. If they don't leave the shipyard, there will be no safety problem."
Fang Rong heard that the people who stayed should be Miss Aitela and the Big Cat Man. If these two people stayed in Tansnier, there was no big problem. Moreover, he probably understood at this moment that the target of the esoteric warlock was not the Seven Seas Brigade. With the reliability of Miss Aitela and the Big Cat Man, there was naturally no problem staying in Tansnier.
But everyone else should have arrived at Questak, the head of the house here...
At this time, the eldest princess also spoke again: "Although I was under house arrest in the royal palace, I did not completely disconnect from the outside world. I would occasionally learn about your people's situation through Achilles. Now in the capital, the main person in charge is your shipmaster. Her name is Silvede, right? She is such a capable person."
"In fact, it's all up to her excellent abilities. On the second day after Mr. Ed disappeared, we figured out the relationship between this matter and the wise man and found out their movements. Therefore, we guessed that Mr. Ed might be in Bein. If it weren't for the sudden dust storm, we might have started rescue work."
Speaking of this, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
