Chapter eight hundred and nineteen in front of the palace
With Miss Ethel's leadership, everyone entered the city without any inquiries.●⌒, but it was not so convenient when entering and leaving the palace gate.
Originally, the person in charge of the Yongchen Palace was usually a forbidden palace guard led by senior officers from the Knights of the Saint Laurent or the Knights of the Aurora, with about 3,000 people. However, the newly ascended Ikon "Emperor" or the "Queen" born in the Lancaster family did not trust these great guards very much. Perhaps it was because the officers of the Legion who were "lawless" and "unofficial kings" were also colleagues born in the Knights of the Saint Laurent and the Knights of the Aurora (or the same military academy). They were all loyalists of the Sun King, and they were also likely to turn into loyalists of the "rebels". To sleep peacefully among the guards of these people, the "Emperor" and his wife were not yet so lenient.
So, within a month, the guards of Yongchen Palace were replaced by the guards brought by Emperor Iken from his own Sezel territory. The original Forbidden Palace Guard was disbanded directly. Some of these people left the imperial capital and went to the garrison of the army outside the city to ask for an errand, while others simply went directly to the north and simply surrendered to the "rebels".
Of course, their actions made the emperor more sure of his "wisdom", which was a sad story.
It’s a pity that compared to the previous group of guards, this group of newcomers is too far behind in terms of spirit, appearance and height. They are either rough men as brave as gorillas, or reserve robbers with ruthless and cunning eyes like wolves. Unfortunately, under the feudal system, the "elite soldiers and generals" are often composed of these two types of people. The tall and handsome, heroic, handsome, elegant and noble perfect knights praised by legendary stories, naturally have some perfect knights. Unfortunately, they are all rare.
The gap between soldiers in the feudal military system and soldiers under the modern military system is actually comprehensive.
Therefore, although the guard members brought by Emperor Iken have been replaced with silver imperial guard armor and spring blue cloak, they always feel like they are soaked in a monkey.
Miss Ethel enters Yongchen Palace twice a week, so naturally she is an acquaintance of these guards. Of course, even if these soldiers who are young and humble and have no brains or discipline, they dare not make things difficult for a royal family teacher and a high-level priest in the Great Hall. However, this time, this goddess, the first time, brought two young nuns with her two young nuns. The soldiers wearing imperial armor couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"They are my assistants." Miss Ether pointed to the two "little nuns" who were holding a large number of book scrolls behind her, and replied in a lukewarm tone: "Today's course involves changes in the territory of some mainland countries and requires a lot of map materials. I can't get so many things by myself."
"But... we did not receive such a notice! Lord Ethel!"
"Then let your boss know immediately. Your Highness and my time cannot be wasted." Miss Ethel said in a calm tone. But it was clearly such a young lady with a baby face, who was so calm in her tone, but it contained an aura that these veterans could not look directly at.
"That... sir, we need to check it out." said an officer who looked like a squad leader.
"It's okay to search."
One of the "little nuns" trembled at the right time, obviously being shocked by the word "search", but the goddess said in a deep voice: "Since you decide to serve the gods, gender and body should not be obstacles to your piety and determination. Don't forget how the nanny educates you when you were studying in the seminary."
The "Little Nun" lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head with pleasing eyes, and stopped trembling, but it was not so much that she had been dispelled by the goddess's doubts. It was better to say that she was so scared by the other party's majesty that she dared not tremble any more.
The team leader looked at the two little "nuns" with some embarrassment. Although they both lowered their heads and had conservative heads. They couldn't see their faces clearly, but they could obviously see that they were beautiful women. They immediately felt a little reluctant.
Why did such a good girl go to be a nun for no reason? It's such a waste of resources! Uh... Look at this thin dress, it doesn't look like a weapon that can hide... It's better to let them pass like this.
Just as he was about to say this, a voice came from behind him: "Okay, hurry up and call a few female soldiers? The guards around His Majesty the Queen and His Highness the Princess are all female soldiers. Isn't it enough to ask them to send a few of them here?"
"This, this...uh, obey the order, Lord Cornelia." The captain gave the goddess a helpless look and then hurried to go.
It's really too rude. Lord Ethel, but rules are rules, and I have no choice." The voice said to the goddess again, and his tone was very respectful and polite, but it was full of unquestionable tone: "But I think, since it is your assistant, there is naturally no problem. Just check it casually and go through the motions."
Ether nodded lukewarmly and said, "This is your rule, so of course you have the final say." Her expression was not ups and downs at all, as if nothing the other party did had nothing to do with him. From this point of view, Miss Goddess' acting skills were definitely at the master level... However, she still glanced at Lu Xi with a hidden look, and was still a little worried.
She was not worried at all because the two "nuns" did not carry any weapons. But body searching was a close job after all. If one of the "nuns" was found to be him instead of her, wouldn't it be a big deal?
I would have dressed up as an ordinary priest if I had known it... Uh, but an ordinary priest would have been more conspicuous in his appearance. Miss Ethel sighed in her heart and became nervous.
Ethi was nervous, but Lu Xi kept lowering her head and continued to perfectly play the role of the little "nun" with a low eyebrows. The corner of her eyes swept across the person who had just entered, and her heart sank, and then she was delighted again.
This guy is a young knight with silver hair, handsome appearance, tall and heroic figure, and looks only in his early thirties. He is also wrapped in silver armor of the Forbidden Palace Guard. He is wearing a water-blue cloak and a sword pressed on his waist. Of course, the armor has been slightly improved in some subtle places, not only adding patterns representing status and class, but also engraving magic patterns in important positions such as chest and elbows. In this way, his arms have become an excellently improved alchemy armor.
In short, this is the typical perfect knight in a legendary novel, at least in appearance. And considering that it is called "Lord Cornelia" by the people below, his identity is naturally obvious.
"This should be one of the four kings, four monsters, and four spirit generals brought by Bartoli." Lu Xi thought to himself: "Well, a golden 6th-level horse thief? It seems that he should still be the leader of the four monsters. As a result, after wearing armor, he looks like a knight."
He glanced at Lim beside him from the corner of his eyes. In the eyes of others, this silent "little nun" with his head lowered, he did not have any presence, and naturally there was no harm, but Lu Xi knew that his three-no and four-sword doll sword hero had now completely entered the state of war. Although she was unarmed, she could knock down all the dozen defenders of this palace gate in 3 minutes as long as she picked up a few wooden sticks from the roadside, of course, the premise was that there was no support, and the guy who pretended to be a knight was not here.
"Don't be impatient..." Lu Xi said to Lim in a chanting voice.
If you are really taken to a secluded place and searched, you will definitely leak. However... an ordinary female soldier should not have any strong mental resistance. You can find a way to get away with it with the mind control technique. Well? There are too many sequelae of mind control technique, and it is possible that you may be noticed by those with scheming. It is better to use a small-scale illusion. Just be careful not to be discovered by that "Corilla". Although that guy is just a horse thief. But since his strength reaches the 6th level of the gold, at least his spiritual sense will be very keen.
While Lu Xi was planning, he heard the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels rolling from the avenue behind him.
What will ordinary little "nun" do when he hears such a voice? Of course, he looks around in a curious manner. Then he suddenly realizes that this seems rude, and he will quickly bury his head.
Lu Xi made this judgment and did this. In the moment he looked up, he had seen the team of people, more than ten guards, and a carriage pulled by four horses. Each guard was dressed in a furious horse, and the carriage was extremely exquisite, with a Holy Spring Emblem on it.
This is clearly the reliance of the Holy Spring Royal Family when traveling.
"Open the door! Give the way!" The leading rider sat upright on the tall horse and shouted loudly in a arrogant tone.
"It's His Highness Yuana's frame!" A guard was whispering.
"But...when did she leave the palace? Didn't Your Majesty have an order? Will the palace gate be closed during this period?"
"Don't you know that Your Majesty? When did you hear His Majesty's orders? Didn't you always do your own things?"
"Oh, this lawless aura always reminds me of that person... Uh, I haven't said anything!"
"Stop pretending, I know who you remembered, but I actually feel the same way. Which princess of the Royal Dimashia generation would be a rule-abiding lady? Are they all the ones who took the lead first?"
While Lu Xi was still thinking about the amount of information in the whisper, the carriage door suddenly opened. He felt a girl wearing a noble-style light hunting get off the carriage, walking over with elegant and a bit cool cat steps. He could still feel that the girl's eyes stayed on him for nearly a second, and then, she stopped in front of the palace gate and made a pleasant, healthy and lively girlish voice.
"Teacher Ethus, you came very early today! I thought I could rush back to the palace before you came."
"This afternoon should be Bachelor Olint's noble heraldry. You should have skipped class, Your Highness." Ethus replied in a plain but unretardant attitude. Her tone even had a helpless intimacy and pampering.
"Ha, because this course has no meaning at all." Princess Yuana sneered: "In two months, half of the nobles in Auckland will be killed by Sister Karin, so why should I learn that useless knowledge?"
...If others say this, it would be a typical disrespect. The royal guards even have the power to rectify the unrestrained madman on the spot without being judged. However, if it is said by the emperor's eldest daughter, it will only bring a very effective cold-scene effect.
"Your Highness..." Connelia smiled bitterly. She was about to say something, but was interrupted by His Highness the princess on the spot: "Are you showing up here deliberately making things difficult for my teacher? Connelia?"
"This... Your Highness, I have only inspected this, uh, by the way... But, Your Highness, as far as I know, you should have a lesson this afternoon, but why did you appear outside the palace?" Cornelia said with a smile.
"Is this something you can manage?" The princess interrupted the other party again coldly: "In addition to patrolling the forbidden palace, your authority also includes monitoring my studies and whereabouts? Since that's the case, you stood here to make things difficult for my teacher and delay my sisters' study time. What do you want to do? Cornelia, is this the courage your master Bartoli gives you?"
It was clearly the sweet voice of a flower girl, but it still revealed the condescending arrogance and inviolable aura of the superior.
"This, Your Highness, let you know that everything is in accordance with the court regulations stipulated by your father..."
"Bang!" The second half of Cornelia's sentence was blocked by a sudden blow-out whip. Lu Xi raised his head in shock, but saw the princess's back facing her, and her right hand didn't know where she took out the whip and swung it mercilessly on Cornelia.
If this golden level 6-level powerful man really wants to avoid or fight back, it will naturally be effortless, but he dare not act rashly. The whip slapped his chest hard and tore open the New Seal on his shoulders. So, the very cool water-blue cloak behind Conilla fell down like this.
If he was a knight with a sense of identity and honor, even when facing the royal family, such insults would be impossible to accept. Cornelia did not say a word, and still had a flattering smile. She hurriedly knelt down like a boneless person, begging His Highness the Princess to calm down. He really looked like a perfect knight on the outside, but he was still just a horse thief in his bones.
"Open the door!" Princess Yuana held her whip and shouted loudly: "I don't need to repeat it again, right?"
