Crown of Chaos

Strange, where is Xia Lu?

Aaron held Alice Ser's arm. He searched around the banquet site and did not see the eldest lady.

Xia Lu? She followed her mentor to Arabelle to attend Ms. Raul's celebration party. Alice Sayre felt very uncomfortable when she saw Aaron thinking about other women around her, but the eldest lady came first after all. They were good friends, so she couldn't say much.

Damn it, according to the information from Queen's Blade, that little half-elf priest of Sullen was the first!

Charlotte is her best friend, and Alice Searle can still barely accept it, but what happened to the little priest?

Well, Aaron is too closely integrated with the Church of Our Lady of Silver, and it’s really hard to let her get out.

The Silver Chamber of Commerce can provide Cormier with a lot of tax money a year.

It seems that I need to find an excuse to teach her a lesson, or at least let her know that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority.

While the princess made up her mind, Aaron felt nervous.

The eldest lady was transferred away like this? He had not received any news before, and he should have been suddenly taken away by the old mage to attend Ms. Raul's banquet in the north.

Charlotte's transfer has aroused Aaron's alert, but the delicious food at the banquet took away the princess's attention.

There was something like a milkshake on a buffet plate, with bright red strawberries on top, and a milky white gelatinous substance underneath that had lines like fish scales.

What is this? Looks like dessert? Alice Searle pointed at the dinner plate.

There were originally many successful people gathered around, but when they saw the princess coming, no man tried to strike up a conversation. They all bowed politely and hurriedly avoided her, staying far away.

Well, this is a famous dish called Moon Man Fermented Fermented Fish Pattern Bobo. Aaron said with a smile: It is said that back then, the Silver Virgin Mary came to Deepwater City and opened a small shop in Deepwater City. One day, the Silver Virgin Mary was I prepared the cheese, but found that the cheese had deteriorated for some unknown reason, becoming loose and soft, with patterns like fish scales on it.

Our Lady of Silver was unwilling to waste food, but she was afraid that it would go bad and make people uncomfortable if she ate it. While she was hesitating, a male visitor smelled a fragrant aroma and came here admiringly. He offered to taste what it tasted like.

After he tasted it, he said that the fermented bean curd was really delicious and had a slightly evocative sourness. The Silver Virgin Mary was very happy. In order to thank this male customer for his help, he named this dessert Yue Nan Bean Curd Fish Pattern Pop. Bo.

Alice Ser tasted it and nodded repeatedly: Well, it is really delicious. In addition to the rich milky flavor, it also has a little sourness that is so refreshing.

As long as His Highness likes it. Aaron also tasted a little: His Highness seems to like sweets?

Before bathing in the ancient dragon's blood, I used to have a body that was prone to obesity. In addition to my military career, I rarely had contact with sweets. Alice Serre said casually: But how did you know that I like sweets? Xia Lu told you ?”

Xia Lu once told me a very interesting topic, about how she and you just met. Your Royal Highness, when you go shopping in the city, you act like a country girl from the countryside. Aaron joked: No. It’s such a shame to see it with my own eyes.”

The princess's slender golden eyebrows quickly raised a terrifying arc: Xia Lu, this traitor! Do you really like to laugh at me in front of you? It seems that next time we meet, I will kill her first... She can do it anyway. Get away.”

The first sword you get ashore is to kill your best friend first, right?

Aaron couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

The two of them had a little pre-dinner dessert, and Aaron saw Norrington, his former Paladin of the Oath of Vengeance of the same period, and the knight Fiorena who had changed clothes and entered the banquet. He and the princess After a confession, the two separated temporarily.

The princess also has a visitor, a businessman wearing a bowler hat, a single gold chain original glasses on his face, a mustache, a tuxedo, a gold pocket watch on his body, a small pipe and a gorgeous magic cane arrived. In front of Alice Searle.

Alice Searle recognized him, Walter Krueger, one of the richest local businessmen in Susal.

Your Highness, can you listen to our appeal? Kruger, whose hair has turned gray, said very humbly.

If you must. Alice Ser nodded. She glanced at Aaron one last time and motioned for Mr. Kruger to move.

Norrington, Fiolena, are you ready?

Aaron was behind the fountain pool, explaining things to the paladin and the knights of the guard: If you stay for a while, you will change your armor and wear it according to the established plan, and be ready for battle at any time.

Fiolena didn't speak, she just nodded to show that she understood.

Paladin Norrington's attitude was different. When he learned from Aaron that something might happen to the banquet, his entire mental state changed and he began to get excited.

After completing his revenge against the orcs, Norrington's heart was filled with emptiness. He once didn't know what he should do.

Now, Aaron has given him a goal, a new goal. The paladin has seen the direction of life again. How can he not be excited? Aaron is the Arabel Five, the heroes of the kingdom!

Everything is ready.

Very good. Aaron nodded.

Next, let’s see what Duke Caspar and Son of Bane plan to do.

At the same time, in the small garden of the manor, Duke Caspar was chatting with several young officers.

This chat was arranged by Manakorn, and the manuscript was prepared for him in advance. As Duke Caspar recited the manuscript from his stomach, it was filled with dignity, freedom, unyielding, glory, ancestors, nation, The manuscript with the keyword country quickly won the applause of these young officers.

Gordon, the eldest grandson of Duke Marelli, is also among them. If you still remember, this brother once had a big fight in the Dragon Tooth Bar because of a street fight between Cat Girl and Aaron's group of Purple Dragon recruits.

Duke Marelli supported Duke Caspar, but he did not support him directly. Instead, he sent Gordon to support indirectly.

Recovering Arabelle is just the beginning. Now, the country needs you. As soldiers, we should never forget that it is our duty and task to protect our country. We will definitely make all the people proud of us.

Duke Caspar felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at the enthusiastic appearance of these young soldiers and knew that Manakorn was inciting their warlike emotions again. Therefore, even though his friend repeatedly told him not to say anything, If there were any unnecessary words, Duke Kasper still added in a strange way: In short, there must never be another unfortunate soldier like his former Majesty Assan IV!

The other young officers were still immersed in enthusiasm, but Gordon's heart skipped a beat.

?

What does the Duke mean by this sentence?

He intends to deny Assan IV’s countless conquests since he took the throne, to deny the golden age that thousands of soldiers fought with blood, and to deny his choice to fight the evil dragon for the sake of peace in the kingdom. The glory of dying together?

Gordon's expression was gloomy and uncertain. The former king was his idol, and he himself was a fellow nobleman with the country!

Caspar, are you planning to dig up Cormier's roots after taking over? Deny these nobles?

The Duke's grandson quickly hid his doubtful expression and clapped along.

…………

impossible!

In the guest room, Alice Searle crossed one of her long black stocking legs. The regent crossed her arms and shook her head calmly: This is impossible, Mr. Kruger. It is impossible for me to lift the curfew. It is impossible for me to lift the curfew. Relaxing inspections will make it even more impossible to disband Queen's Blade.

Your Highness, the war is over. It has been more than a year. How long do you plan to continue this kind of control? Kruger tapped the ground with his cane: This has seriously affected trade. Now that Arabelle has been recovered, It’s time to lift these bans.”

It's not time yet. There are still some problems within the kingdom. Alice Serre continued to shake her head: When the time is right, I will lift the ban.

Your Highness! The endless ban will only bring about the decline of this pearl on the shores of Dragon Lake! Let our business be taken away by the red robes of Cyre, the Seven Suns Chamber of Commerce, and the business princes of Baldur's Gate and Amn. Let’s go! Also, I don’t know why an organization like Queen’s Blade exists. Is it the job of these people to search our warehouse all day long, look through our goods at will, and issue us fines at will?” The big businessman became more and more angry as he spoke: You will be punished once. Have you taken enough?

Alice Searle was silent. She was also aware of the problems of the Queen's Blade and had rectified them before, but the results were not very good. This kind of organization had too much authority and was only responsible for the princess. She understood everything.

Your Highness, Assan IV has passed away for a long time. We all deeply regret their death, but how can something like the Queen's Blade continue to exist openly?

Qiang!

A flash of cold light flashed, and Kruger immediately fell silent.

Before he finished speaking, Aliceser's sword was already pressed against Kruger's forehead. The sharp and cold blade touched the big businessman's skin, making him shiver.

I won't allow you to insult father. The princess's voice was as cold as a thousand years of night: This is the last time, Kruger.

get out.

The big businessman was lifted up like a teacup by Alice Ser and thrown out of the room.

Kruger got up from the ground. He adjusted his top hat and hung up his gold chain monocle. The anger in his eyes was almost uncontrollable.

I gave you a chance, Princess of Steel!

Go tell the Anaheim family leader that our Kruger Chamber of Commerce agrees to his conditions and will fully cooperate. After calling his subordinates, President Kruger said coldly.

yes!

Manakorn, who was hiding, soon got the news.

Benn Shenzi replied calmly, I know.

After his subordinates left, Manakorn firmly grasped the dragon head bottle in his arms.

Now, everything is ready!

It's time to go to the banquet.

On the other side, after Aaron explained everything, he finally got the news about the strange Xiling.

He has done everything he can, and has prepared everything he can. Now he is waiting for everything to happen naturally.

It's time to go to the banquet.

The formal banquet was held in the restaurant in the manor, and the main table included only a few people, including the princess, Aaron, Duke Caspar and Manakorn, and the owner of the place, Mrs. La Villette.

My sister and brother-in-law haven't had dinner together for who knows how long. Ever since they started fighting for the regency, the old family relationship has disappeared, and there are only differences between them.

In this way, Aaron and Manakone met unexpectedly at the door of the restaurant.

Seeing each other, both of them were stunned.

I didn't expect that we would meet here after all. Manakorn stopped first and sighed.

We are destined to meet here. Aaron also stopped: You obviously know that.

Divine Son Ben sighed again. He looked at Aaron's face with some reluctance, which was not like a mortal, but as handsome as the stars and the distant sky, leaning on the railing: I really don't understand.

What don't you understand? Aaron also leaned against the railing.

Why are you so stubborn? Look at how you have lived your life. You are a son of God, but you are so immersed in a name, a glory and a love that you can't extricate yourself? This is a disservice to you. What a blasphemy of the amazing talents you possess! Why don’t you want to create a future with me?” Son of God Benn said angrily: “A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time?”

Aaron Salian, do you really want to be a subordinate to the princess? Are you really willing to be dominated by her? Why do you like being a subordinate so much?

Hahahaha~ Aaron smiled loudly, raised the corners of his mouth, and shook his head under the gaze of Son of God Ben: Why are you so confident? Why do you always think you can do it, just because you are the Son of God? There are so many things in the kingdom. , he is just a son of God, what’s the big deal? And... not everyone wants to be a lord, not everyone only has conquest and rule in their mind. There are many things that I cherish, and power is only part of it. You and I The paths are different.”

Oh, then we can also choose a different path! Manakorn took out a gold coin from his arms: I can promise that you can leave with that woman. I will not hunt you down. In the name of Ben, I will I swear, you can take her to the territory to become a vassal, and you can take away all your supporters, your family, and your friends! I can promise that you will be your sunset baron!

When I finish borrowing this country's army, return to the sea of ​​​​the moon, ascend my father's throne, and ascend to the sky, I can give you this country, all of it!

How about it? Do you agree to this condition?

Hahahaha~ Aaron smiled even more happily: What loan country? What loan victory? What loan throne? Do you really think you can do it? To ascend to the throne requires unique conditions, strong strength and good luck! You, a son of God who is not even a legend, how dare you say that you can succeed? How many years do you plan to lie dormant? How many lives do you want to die for this?

How do you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it? Why do you say it can't work? My father sacrificed the lives of two million people in order to become a god. I am also prepared for this realization! And only you, a person without dreams, can start from the beginning. Deny this great goal from the beginning!”

Seeing that Aaron's expression did not change, Manakorn knew that he didn't need to say anything anymore, it was meaningless.

At this moment, both of them became quiet.

So, we understand each other. Divine Son Benn finally said: Go in, the time is almost up.

Yeah, it's almost time. Aaron nodded meaningfully.

The two of them walked into the restaurant together. At this time, the banquet officially started. Alice Sayre finished her speech as the regent. When she saw Aaron finally arrived, she grabbed his right hand and pulled him to sit next to her. Next: You sit here.

Opposite the princess sat Duke Caspar and Son of Benn, then Manakorn's deputy Dönitz, and the knight Fiorena sat under Aaron. The six of them sat at both ends of the long table. , at the end sat Madame La Villette, the mistress of the manor, and as for the main seat, the vacant king's seat was left.

The two parties sat down, and Duke Caspar took the initiative to smile and said: Alice, how long has it been since we sat down to eat together?

Probably, three years. The regent princess couldn't help but sigh as she recalled the past. Her father was gone, her sister was gone, and she, Charlotte, and Aaron were the only ones left.

Guys, I'll mix the drinks. Manakorn stood up and took the initiative to mix the drinks. He took the ice cubes and poured the brown wine into the glass bottle.

Manna's bartending skills are first-rate. Duke Caspar smiled.

Please~ Manakorn poured the wine in the glass bottles and divided them into seven cups for everyone to help themselves.

Alice Searle did not reach out, but Aaron took the initiative to reach out and take a cup, and he tasted a little with his lips.

so spicy!

The wine is extremely hot in the mouth, very pungent, and goes straight to the forehead.

Such strong wine was used at the banquet?

Aaron thought that Duke Caspar was so bookish, but he didn't expect that he also liked to drink strong alcohol.

The poison was not poisonous, and the power of Nurgle in his body did not respond.

After confirming that it was non-toxic, he handed the wine glass to Alice. The princess took the wine glass and glanced at the mark left by Aaron on it, without caring: Here, cheers.

cheers!

After drinking strong wine, Duke Caspar and Madame de La Villette couldn't help coughing, and it seemed they couldn't bear it.

The toast ended and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Today was originally a celebration banquet to celebrate the recapture of Arabelle City. With the band, dancers, delicious food and just the right topics arranged by Duke Caspar, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became intense, as if A psychedelic dream.

After Manakorn confirmed that Alice Searle had drunk at least two glasses of brown liquor, he nodded with satisfaction and felt much more relaxed.

The show is about to begin!

Only then did he notice that his deputy, Dönitz, hadn't eaten much.

What's the matter, Erich? Stop looking so grim and come have a drink.

Godson Benn filled up his deputy's wine and then focused his attention on the princess.

Amidst the melodious music, Dönitz picked up the wine glass and drank all the liquid in the glass. He suddenly stretched his hand to his waist and shouted at God Son Ben: Master! You don't support the Duke, why don't you... Who’s going to do it?!”

The atmosphere at the main table was broken, with shock, confusion, and curiosity. Even the band playing nearby stopped.

Except for Aaron, none of the five people at the main table, including Manakorn, understood what Dönitz was about.

Your Highness, how can we rebuild the glory of Cormyr when we are with these insects?! Dönitz suddenly seemed to be crazy. Although he was clearly unarmed, he suddenly pulled out a double-barreled firecracker from his waist. , he pulled the trigger on Alice Sayre: You evil dragon, suffer death!

Bang! The bullet hit the princess on the shoulder unexpectedly, scraping off a piece of her skin.

The sound of gunshots passed through the entire banquet hall, and everyone was stunned.

Erich, what are you doing? Godson Ben immediately stood up and tried to control his adjutant. He was simply stunned.

What is this person doing?

Want to rebel? Duke Caspar also stood up quickly.

Bang! Dönitz fired again, hitting the Duke in the abdomen!

Duke Caspar did not have the physical fitness of the princess. A hole was immediately opened in his stomach, bleeding profusely, and he collapsed on the chair.

Everything happens in the blink of an eye!

The scene was chaotic!

After watching the Taobao competition, my heart hurts and I have difficulty breathing. Let me take a moment, take a moment~
