Chapter 541 Ketonia (First Update Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Lucian hugged Natasha horizontally, and walked steadily towards the guest room at the end of the corridor, such a posture, such a gentleness, even if the tip of his nose smelled a strong smell of blood and a slightly sour smell of toxins, he was very satisfied, and his smile could not be hidden.
And Natasha's emotions are quite complicated, whether it is self-perception or actual expression, she is undoubtedly a brave knight, but a heroic and determined knight like herself is held by Lucian like this, there is really an indescribable weakness and shame, but it is Lucian who holds herself, his heartbeat, his taste, his chest, are all so familiar, that makes him feel warm and sweet, so he is both happy and embarrassed, and he tries to restrain himself so that it is not shown on his face, and he is ridiculed by Lucian.
In this contradictory feeling of being uncomfortable and a little unwilling to leave, Natasha didn't notice that there was also a smile on the corner of her mouth that could not be concealed, until Lucian stopped at the door of a guest room.
"Duke James's guest room also has a magic array?" Lucian was a little surprised.
Natasha tried to divert her attention from the princess's holding position, looked at the room and said, "The rooms on this floor are used by Duke James to receive royal family members and other nobles, so the magic circle is independent of the overall defense of the manor, giving guests a private space from prying eyes."
With her answer, she saw Lucian push open the door and walk in with mental power.
The guest room was very spacious, with a living room, a bedroom, a study, a piano, a bar and other things, as Lucian closed the door and activated the magic array, the entire room was suddenly isolated from the manor, quiet and peaceful, like a private space for the two of them.
Natasha knew that Lucian was just in case, he must have been a little distracted when he guided herself to use the "Health Belt", if he neglectfully did not open the magic circle and encountered some enemy attacking, it would be a big trouble.
Suddenly, she felt a soft and comfortable touch on her back, and then she realized that she had been put on the velvet quilt in the bedroom by Lucian, while Lucian was half-kneeling on the edge of the bed, looking at her with dark eyes and deep concentration.
Lucian's voice was slightly lower: "You ...... just now."
Before she finished speaking, Natasha interrupted Lucian and smiled: "We don't need to be thankful, this is my guardian philosophy as a knight and wife, if it were you, I think you would make the same choice.
Without being shy or flinching, she generously and frankly said the word wife.
As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand and held Lucian's palm, her fingers intertwined, her palms facing each other, and a faint warmth reached Lucian's heart.
No need to say anything more, don't do anything more, Lucian held Natasha's right hand tightly, feeling the warm and timeless atmosphere between the two, then looked at her silver purple eyes, slowly lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
Natasha blinked her eyelids, slowly closed them, and enjoyed the kiss, but the clasp of her right hand never let go.
Everything was slow and gentle, but it intoxicated the two more than passion.
After a while, her lips parted, Natasha's eyes were slightly blurred, and she regained her clarity, and said with a smile: "Help me suppress the 'powerless kiss'......"
"I'll help you suppress the 'powerless kiss'......" Lucian smiled at the same time, and then the two stopped abruptly, looking at each other and smiling, with a faint tacit understanding lingering between their eyes.
"Hurry up, if we delay recovery because of romance and are attacked and killed by subsequent enemies, it will really become one of the top ten stupid ways to die in Alinge." Natasha was still able to recognize the situation as always.
Lucian smiled and said: "There should be no follow-up enemies." If he hadn't received a secret message from his teacher Fernando, he would have helped Natasha suppress it without delaying time in the secret room, and now, it is not common to encounter Her Majesty the Queen without strength.
Natasha raised her eyebrows: "Granny Hathaway, Your Excellency the Storm Lord has arrived?"
She believed that Lucian was prepared to come to a private party, so as soon as she heard Lucian's words, she tacitly and keenly thought of "reinforcements".
"I'll talk about the specifics later, and I'll help you recover first." Lucian nodded, considering that Duke James would notify the "Heart of Time" to arrive after dealing with the scene, and he couldn't stay for a long time, so he used magic such as "neutralizing toxin" to help Natasha suppress the "Weak Kiss".
Natasha withdrew her attention and began to gather her will when the "Powerless Kiss" was briefly suppressed, and after a few tens of seconds, a sharp and cold light appeared in her silver and purple eyes.
Seeing this, Lucian's spiritual power spread to Natasha through her right hand, which was still clasped together, guiding her through the heavy magic barrier of the "Health Belt" to reach the core, and then directly erasing her mark.
Natasha was slightly surprised, but she didn't care about thinking so much at the critical moment, and quickly left her imprint on the central magic circle.
The health belt around her waist lit up with a soft white light, and the passive ability of the toxin below the immunity legend was exerted, and a little bit of dark green gas was highlighted and dissipated.
After more than ten seconds, Natasha suddenly waved her left hand and said with emotion: "It feels so uncomfortable to have no strength."
Then her eyes moved to Lucian: "How did you erase your mark?"
"I have the 'Ring of Congers' on me, the effect of the health belt seems very repetitive, and you don't have such good immune toxins, diseases and negative energy invasion items." Lucian said with a smile.
Although the Holm royal family is wealthy, and Natasha also has a great arcanist, high-end items, especially high-end items with special functions, have always been rare, even a vampire prince like Rhine who doesn't know how many tens of thousands of years he has lived, so Natasha has equipment to guard against toxins and other damage, but she doesn't have a good health belt.
Natasha regained her strength, and while cleaning up the blood stains on her body with magic items, she joked with a smile: "What a precious gift, worthy of Mr. Evans, who is known as the 'Moving Treasure'."
This is what Gwell said just now.
"You are my wife, my queen, and nothing is more precious than you." Lucian found that he also had a talent for talking about love.
Natasha laughed, she was very helpful to Lucian's words, but she deliberately said: "You picked three items from Mr. Rhine, and gave them to me except for one scroll to use.
When she said this, Lucian realized that almost all the items he got in Mr. Rhine's treasure house that time were given to Natasha, but it was very worth it to be able to be happy with each other, Mr. Rhine was really a good person, I don't know when he said he would go to the bottom treasure house to pick an item?
"By the way, didn't you have something to say just now?" After Natasha knew that Hathaway was nearby, her mood relaxed and she almost forgot about it.
Lucian carefully cast several spells again to prevent prying eyes, and then said to Natasha through a psychic connection: "The driving force behind this is Sald, and he wants to ......."
There is no need to hide this kind of thing from Natasha, she is the Queen of Holm, and she can't get around her at that time, and the tendencies in her heart are also very obvious.
"I don't trust Sald too much, he's always been too mysterious and difficult to guess." Natasha expressed her opinion.
Lucian nodded: "No one knows what secrets he has obtained in the necromancer, so it is difficult to judge his true purpose, we must be prepared for his conspiracy and not blindly believe him."
"His Excellency Ketonia was won over by him...... What were the test results of the flesh and blood you were going to go to last time?" Natasha asked solemnly and solemnly.
Lucian thought for a while and did not hide it: "The necromancers of the pale hand have studied cells a lot, and they used magic based on this knowledge system to test the age of His Highness the Prince at the time of his death, although the error is about half a year, but there is no doubt that the true age of His Highness the Prince at the time of his death is two to three years older than he should be, you can confirm it from His Excellency Hathaway."
This test result is of great importance, and Lucian is not good at using electromagnetic communication, so this time he came to the banquet to meet Natasha, which also included the purpose of conveying the news.
Natasha listened expressionlessly, and then sighed for a long time, showing a bit of sadness: "I don't believe in Sald anymore......"
Then, she restrained her emotions, looked at Lucian's worried expression, and smiled like a real queen and knight: "Don't worry, I will not be reckless and impulsive, charging head-on and defeating the enemy also requires skill and rhythm, I will fully cooperate with them, and wait until the region here is divided before I try Ketonia on this charge.
After knowing the cause of her relative's death, she really made up her mind that this matter was definitely not something that Salde could make her own decision, and it must have been approved by the Pope and the College of Cardinals.
"At that time, the council and I will be on your side." Lucian reached out and touched Natasha's hair, making her a little uncomfortable, deliberately changed the subject, and laughed: "By the way, Lucian, tell you a secret......"
After hearing this secret from the psychic connection, Lucian couldn't help but have a smile on his face: "This is very good, I am a lot relieved."
After a pause, Lucian walked to the window, looked at the nobles who were already a little commotionous below, and said softly: "I should inform Ketonia soon, it is inconvenient for me to meet him, so leave here first. When you face him, don't worry, Your Excellency Hathaway is nearby, watching everything."
"Okay." Natasha suddenly showed a smirk, "There should be a few minutes, Lucian, my strength has not fully recovered, you can help me take off this dress and put on a new one."
Her hunting outfit was a high-end knight's suit, without it, it might not have been able to withstand Gwell for so long before, but under the corrosive damage of curses, toxins and other corrosive damage, this item was completely damaged, full of cracks and holes, and could not be repaired like the violet guardian armor.
Lucian's heart beat faster, and his breathing was a little rapid: "I don't have much time......"
"You think too much, you just don't have much time to let you change it for me." Natasha said with a bright smile, "This is a 'reward' for you holding me like you just now."
Lucian's smile suddenly froze on his face.
…………
Duke James opened another secret room of the magic circle, Natasha's long purple hair was pulled up again, and there was a faint flush on her face, which could not fade for a long time.
At this time, Duke James led a tall old man with gray hair in, his dark blue eyes seemed to contain an endless river of time.
"Your Majesty." Ketonia saluted heavily, "The Duke of York made a big mistake and was involved in the assassination of you, and must be severely punished, but please look at the specific situation where he is just watching and urging without real planning, and in view of the Ketonia family's loyalty for hundreds of years, give him a certain amount of leniency, and I and the Ketonia family will be more loyal to you."
He had already obtained a confession from Davy, so he went straight to Natasha to confess and seek compromise and exchange.
Natasha said majestically and strongly: "If you can even compromise and back down in the act of assassinating me, wouldn't that tell others that even if you come to assassinate me, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will not suffer severe punishment.
Ketonia wanted to speak, but was stopped by Natasha with a gesture:
"So, York and Baladei must die!"
"According to the charge of treason, the mastermind Baladi family will be stripped of their title and their territory will be recovered, while the Ketonia family will only trace individuals and not affect the family because York is only slightly involved."
"Your Excellency Ketonia, do you think this is a good way to handle it? I don't think there is only one great knight in your family, right?"
Unprincipled, easy and easy compromises and concessions will only make compromises and concessions worthless.
It's close to 4,000 words again, asking for a monthly pass~
