"Theodora..."
It is obviously impossible for Jiang Qi to inform Eurydice and the others of Jiang Qi's decision and behavior in advance—or rather, even the third prince would suddenly stand up and tear all her face, It was all beyond their expectations, let alone such an absurd request in public?
But before they could even find a way to create free time to discuss one or two, how to deal with and deal with this matter, Jiang Qi had already taken the initiative to take over this matter.
In all fairness, if you don't consider the time magic involved in this matter, but just take Jiang Qi's response, this is already a perfect answer. Without the slightest timidity, it was a reaction that a qualified king should make, and she did not fall into the prestige of Periandel's rose.
For this item alone, it must be given full marks.
But as long as you think that since Jiang Qi has already agreed to this matter as Theodora, then naturally she will need to perform the use of time magic in full view. Eurydice's, there is no way to let go of the heart.
That's time magic... and since the third prince would bring it up like this, he must be fully prepared.
Simple deception is bound to fail to hide the truth from the other party, but now where do we go to find a magician who can use time magic to help in an emergency?
But when Eurydice looked towards Jiang Qi anxiously, she found that the girl's face was still calm and composed.
She doesn't seem to feel that there is anything wrong with her words and actions. Infected by the girl's aura, Eurydice's nervousness, as if she was walking a tightrope, gradually relaxed.
She looked at Jiang Qi, although she knew it was impossible, but a certain idea that was so ideal that it was almost absurd took deep root in her heart, and it began to flourish more and more.
If, she means if the time she was in the Adventurer's Association, she was lucky enough to give out a unique award. This girl who is still thinking about where she should change her job in the future, does have the talent and ability of time magic...?
Eurydice took a deep breath, raised her hand subconsciously, and pressed it on her chest.
The heart was beating too fast in the chest, as if it would pop out of the throat in the next second. But Eurydice didn't have the heart to care about these at all, she just stared at Jiang Qi without blinking, and there was some kind of prayer and expectation in her eyes that she might not even be aware of.
If things can really go on like that...
Eurydice didn't dare to continue thinking about it, but her heart had already violated her reason, and she began to have some kind of secret expectation. Jiang Qi looked at the third prince in front of her, and smiled softly.
Theodora was originally graceful and luxurious, with an extremely flamboyant appearance like a rose in full bloom. When she laughed like this, the whole hall suddenly seemed to be illuminated by a girl's smile.
"How do you want to see me use?" Jiang Qi asked.
With her easy attitude, the Third Prince hesitated instead. He didn't respond immediately, but looked at Jiang Qi with some suspicion, as if he wanted to see some sternness on her face.
But none.
No matter what the third prince thought, the princess standing in front of him didn't have the slightest flaw. This did not match the information he had received previously. The third prince's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes gradually became serious.
Theodora clearly should have been hurt to the origin of magic, not to mention casting magic, thinking about it, it is not easy to barely maintain such a look that is still good enough to attend the banquet.
But why, he didn't notice even the slightest panic and uneasiness from her?
The third prince faintly realized that things might have been completely out of control and originally preset at certain times that he didn't know The development route, while rushing towards another track all the way.
However, the matter has developed to this point, like an arrow on a bowstring, whether it will be fired or not is no longer under the control of the third prince himself.
Therefore, even though the third prince's heart has begun to wander and he has reconsidered this matter, he still can only bite the bullet and continue all this.
"Of course I can't let the imperial sister be wronged for nothing." The third prince said it better than he sang, "So, I specially invited the Holy Master Kavadiki to witness." Originally, she stood quietly with Jiang Qi Behind him, with eyes downcast and silent, An Qi, who was as quiet as a statue standing here, suddenly raised her head.
Although she has worked very hard to manage the expression on her face, in the eyes of this personal officer of the empress dowager who is in charge of all the big and small matters in the entire palace, there is a certain kind of shock and anger written all over her eyes. color.
And Jiang Qi also has some impressions of the name "Kavadiki". If she remembers correctly, it should be...
The originally crowded crowd gave way to both sides like Moses divided the sea,
it seems because of the arrival of a certain great being, they all spontaneously made way for him up the road.
Coming through the crowd was an elderly-looking elder. Although he still looks hale and hearty because of the magic, there seems to be some heaviness that cannot be concealed between his actions and eyes.
"It's the holy mage Kavadiki..."
"Why would you be standing with the third prince? If so, how should Your Highness Theodora deal with herself?" "Shh... just watch."
It was Perry the court mage enshrined by the royal family of the Principality of Ander all the year round, one of the few strong men among human beings. Even in the entire Arcadia continent, they can be ranked among the first-rate. A level 93 holy mage is already a realm that many people can't reach in their lifetime.
On the continent of Arcadia, the player's current maximum level limit is only 90.
What is even more different about the holy mage Kavadiki is that he is also a user of time magic, and because of this, he became the teacher of the crown princess Theodora. The relationship between teachers and students has been maintained for more than ten years.
In the eyes of everyone, the holy mage Kavadiki should stand in the camp of the crown princess Theodora with a clear-cut stand... But at the moment, he actually went to the side of the third prince, and vice versa helping to suppress Her Highness Theodora, where did this come from and why?
All of a sudden, in the entire banquet hall, people were flirting with each other, exchanging all kinds of messy eyes that only they could understand.
Jiang Qi's eyebrows moved slightly, looking at the respected elder who had already walked in front of her, she lowered her head and chuckled softly.
"Teacher." The princess turned the goblet in her hand, watching the beautiful, clear and bright red wine slowly turning along the wall of the glass, "I never thought that the person standing opposite me would be you."
Jiang Qi is very professional. Even though it was only seven days, she still managed to understand and remember some important people and things around Theodora. Therefore, Jiang Qi knew that for Theodora, the other party was not only a teacher, but also a respectable elder like a grandfather.
If it wasn't her standing here today, but Theodora herself...
Jiang Qi thought, that princess must be hit hard and very sad.
Facing Jiang Qi who seemed to say nothing, but seemed to have said everything, the noble holy mage obviously couldn't resist it.
"Theodora." He said, "I'm here just to be a witness."
This holy mage obviously has some kind of persistence of his own, and he may not think that helping the third prince find out about whether Theodora can still use good time magic is an act of betrayal.
"Periandel can't have a queen who can't use magic."
"Your Excellency Kavadiki...!" the female officer Angie couldn't help calling him, with a restrained anger in her voice, "You if you do this, have you ever wondered where Her Royal Highness will end up?"
The teacher who taught her magic since she was a child, like his grandfather, suddenly stood with a clear-cut stand. There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties, and only one person can live on the side of the sworn enemy.
If the person standing here today is really Theodora who has not recovered from her serious injuries and barely propped up her body to attend and host the banquet, seeing this scene in front of her, even the strongest princess would find it difficult there is no inner touch.
The so-called killing and punishing the heart is nothing more than that.
But standing here is Jiang Qi.
She just raised her hand calmly, signaling An Qi to calm down her emotions, and she didn't need to get angry because of such a thing. The girl raised her eyes, looked at the holy mage in front of him with a faint look of guilt, and the third prince standing behind him, and showed a very calm and powerful smile.
"It's okay." She said, "Let's get started." "It's just that I also hope that the third prince can understand."
Those rose-colored eyes looked at the third prince, which should be a hot and strong color, but I don't know. Why, the third prince had the illusion that he was in the sea of ice in winter, and his whole body was almost frozen.
"What you are doing now can be regarded as an offense to me. After everything here is over, I will naturally clarify with you one by one according to the laws of the principality." The third prince
complexion immediately turned pale.
Because they all know that if the laws of the principality are strictly followed, the third prince's offense against the empress dowager may not cause him to be immediately demoted as a useless person, but he will also be forced to leave politics from now on center of.
At the same time, this kind of behavior that is almost forcing the palace, if the third prince wins today, then naturally there is nothing to say; but if the empress dowager still stands firm, then what awaits the third prince in the future will be thunderous revenge.
... His power could not be compared with Theodora in the first place, and now he just seized such an opportunity in front of everyone to force
Theodora to stand up, forcing the other party to agree.
The third prince naturally understood this in his heart.
He staggered his gaze at Jiang Qi, put on his face again a smile that seemed to be very friendly and polite, and said to Jiang Qi: "I don't need to bother you, Miss Huang."
The third prince winked at the holy mage Kavadiki.
The great magician of the palace sighed, but he still came forward, and said to himself, a student who had taught him everything and expected more: "Your Highness Theodora, my request is not complicated."
He took out a bare branch from the storage props.
This branch looks lifeless, and the section exposed on one side seems to be all dry fibers. Anyone who comes to see it will only assert that this thing has no hope or possibility at all.
"This is a branch that fell off from the Mother of Life tree of the elves. Its time has come to an end, even if it is soaked in the fountain of life for a long time, it can no longer be rejuvenated."
Kava Master said this, his eyes lowered unconsciously.
The scene in front of him was so familiar that he felt in a trance that he was not standing in the magnificent banquet hall, but it seemed that he had returned to a few years ago, when Theodora had just broken through the [Black Iron] level threshold, with a kind of the day when she came to report to him with a seldom exposed joy on her body.
"Theodora. When you were promoted to [Bronze], I once taught you a spell. As long as you can reproduce it here today, it is enough to prove to everyone that there is no mistake in the origin of your magic."
He handed the dead branch to Jiang Qi.
"Let time begin to flow again on this broken branch, let the greenery be dotted and the flowers bloom." The court archmage said, "You just have to do this..." You just have to prove that you are still eligible to stay If you are in this position, then the teacher will naturally settle the rest for you. Jiang Qi didn't say yes or no.
She just stretched out her hand and took the dead branch. After playing with it for a while, she immediately gave a low laugh. "Is this enough?" She sighed softly, "You can even ask for something more."
The girl picked up the dead branch and raised it up.
I saw that during this process, greenery began to glow from that stump, and the phantom of the golden time dial loomed behind the stump, as if it was the most gorgeous background board in the world.
As a result, visible to the naked eye, new green shoots sprouted from the broken branch, and white flowers with golden edges bloomed on the top. , all can be smelled.
This is indeed a branch of the Mother Goddess of Life from the elves. Just the fragrance of the flowers already makes people feel extremely refreshed, as if the stubborn ailments on the body have been gently caressed by an invisible hand, so the whole body All were able to relax.
The flower just touched the girl's lips. I saw her lower her head, with a very faint smile, gently kissed the pure white flower, then raised her eyes again, looking at the third prince and the holy mage Kavadiki in front of her.
"What do you think?" Jiang Qi asked, "Is this enough proof?"
However, although she asked this question, all the discerning people present knew that the origin of the magic of Crown Princess Theodora did not appear without a doubt No matter what the problem is, she is still as strong, beautiful, and noble as before. She is the well-deserved heir of the Principality, and she is about to be crowned as the king who will lead the entire country.
The holy mage Kawadiki bowed deeply towards the girl in front of him to salute.
"Yes, I think this is enough proof. Your Royal Highness."
He knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to be forgiven for his actions today. From then on, the teacher-student friendship between him and Her Royal Highness Theodora will no longer exist. He is the court archmage, and that girl will become the new master of this country.
But the court archmage obviously didn't regret his actions, and didn't even think it was a wrong and treacherous move.
Because compared to "teacher-student harmony", he hopes that this country will have a suitable and powerful monarch, even if he will be hated and resented because of it.
The holy mage Kavadiki left soon. It seemed that he came here just for this one thing.
The black-haired and black-eyed boy in the form of Cornett stood among the crowd, hiding his achievements and fame. Because the appearance he used was too ordinary, no one noticed his existence.
Naturally, no one noticed that in the boy's eyes covered by the messy forehead hair, the blue splendor like jewels was fading rapidly.
Jiang Qi casually handed the branch with green leaves and white flowers to An Qi, the female officer standing behind her, and then looked at the third prince.
Her gaze is calm, like a pool of water under a new moon without any fluctuations. But for some reason, the third prince felt that he was aware of the mockery.
...No, to be more precise, it shouldn't be called mocking.
It was because of the unwillingness and anger that came from realizing that I was like a clown from the beginning to the end, even after I was not put in the eyes of the other party at all.
"Third Brother." The girl's voice rang in his ear, "So, do you have any objections?"
Eurydice had already ,she didn't know when she led the guards of the palace to surround the place. Seeing that the matter was settled, she stepped forward and looked at the third prince coldly .
"Your Highness the Third Prince." She said, "Please come with me first."
Even if you are of royal blood, you need to go to court to attack the new king who is about to ascend to the throne for no reason.
Before the court verdict comes out, his identity is a criminal and he should naturally be arrested.
The smile that the Third Prince had always put on his face finally couldn't be maintained any longer.
His face was cold and terrifying, he slowly looked around at the guards surrounding him, finally stared at Jiang Qi, showing a sinister smile.
"My dear sister." The third prince hooked the corners of his lips and drew a strange arc, "Do you really think this is the end?"
There was too dazzling light bursting out from his body, in a In the light, the Third Prince laughed loudly.
Those lights turned into countless lines, extending and converging in all directions, and finally formed a huge cage that sealed off the entire banquet hall.
Under the dazzling white light, the third prince looked sinister and scary.
"If I hadn't been fully prepared, how could I dare to bump into you in such a reckless way today?" "
I should be... the king of Periandel."
