I, Lich, Can Raise a Dragon [Western Fantasy] - Chapter 29
The next morning, the maid outside the room gently buttoned the door: “His Royal Highness, the Queen ordered us to bring something.”
Sang Ni was still analyzing the ashes of the scroll, and when he heard the movement, he quickly put the things in the storage ring, messed up the duvet on the bed a little, and then sat on the edge of the bed and looked like he had just gotten up: “Come in.”
Several maids came in with all kinds of dresses and jewelry: “His Royal Highness, look at…”
Sang Ni glanced at random, and was startled by the dazzling array of gems and crystals for a second, and then pointed to a gray-blue silk dress. Except for the two broken diamond chains around the neckline and waist, it was not as pure as a princess. Dress.
The maid praised her while helping her to change her dress: “His Royal Highness has a very good vision. The Lamir diamond on this one was newly picked from the Southern Dwarf Kingdom the year before, and the palace designer cut the diamond into a hundred diamonds. , The largest one is used to inlay the hair crown, the others are used to make this dress… You see, the dark lines on the skirt are all outlined by diamond powder.”
Sang Ni: “…” Okay, what you say is what you say.
After changing her dress, she sat in front of the vanity mirror and watched the maid fix her hair into a complicated bun, put on a diamond crown, and then took a box of pearl powder and was about to throw it on her face.
Sang Ni quickly stretched out his hand to fend off: “No need…I’ll do it myself.”
Although others could not see that there was anything wrong with her face, they could still feel that two things were missing when they directly touched her eye sockets.
The maid didn’t insist: “Yes, you don’t need to use these to be noticeable enough.”
Sang Ni: “…Choose a lipstick for me.” This kind of uninterrupted praise is really easy to make people float.
The light red on her lips makes her look more lively, but adds a bit of natural weakness. With the support of the beautiful decorations, she seems to have changed back to the appearance of the dawn of the empire. Sang Ni looks at the mirror I was in a trance for a while.
“The emperor…what is her plan for the empress?” Sang Ni asked.
The maid replied respectfully: “His Royal Highness said that if the princess is in good spirits, she can have breakfast with her.”
Sang Ni nodded: “I’m fine, let’s go.” She didn’t want to disappoint the queen’s kindness.
The maid was divided into two groups, some stayed to clean up the room, and a few walked out surrounded by Sang Ni.
In front of the long table in the hall, the emperor and the queen were there, but they didn’t see Murn and Ravenli. Sang Ni didn’t ask much, and walked over to salute: “Sorry, father and queen, I was late.”
The queen took her to the seat next to her: “It’s okay. We got up a little earlier today. We originally wanted to let you rest, but the president of the Magic Association and your grandfather will come to see your body later. That’s why you are called.”
“…I make you worry about it.” Sang Ni was not used to being held by the Queen, and asked embarrassingly: “How long do they come?”
“Before lunch.” It was the emperor who answered her. He knocked on the table: “Evans, let Sang Ni have a good meal. She will have time to talk to you in the future.”
The queen was a little embarrassed and let go of her hand: “It’s also… I told them to make your favorite tea.”
Sang Ni knowingly picked up the teacup and took a sip: “Thank you, empress.” Although she didn’t taste anything.
Under the eager attention of the queen, the next omelette, bread, dessert, and salad did not fall. Sang Ni usually stuffed it into her mouth to chew after completing the task. She put a small corrosive spell in her mouth. Food disappears in no time.
After a breakfast that was like chewing wax in all senses, the emperor went to deal with things, and Sang Ni accompanied the queen to choose jewelry—the queen still thought she looked a little cleaner.
Sang Ni: “…” Okay, well, she hasn’t completely corrected her attitude. As a livelihood to show the imperial financial resources, her simple style is nowhere for her. Fortunately, she has not officially announced her return to the royal family. Otherwise, the people you want to meet today are not limited to the Magic Association. Not to mention the many nobles in the capital, even those in the fief will send envoys.
“I want to schedule the banquet in two months.” The queen picked out a box of golden pearls and planned to let the court jeweler make a necklace for her: “This way we can invite more people, Bright Holy See, Luonan Federation, Long The Empire of the Kingdom, the Southern Dwarf Kingdom, the Elf Sanctuary, the Western Druids… the invitation letter is already being prepared.”
Sang Ni was startled by the queen’s generous hand for a moment: “So many?” This is to invite all the forces from all over the continent.
The queen touched her hair affectionately: “Silly boy, this can be regarded as an adult gift for you by the father and the queen.” As a mother, she feels that her daughter deserves the best.
The corner of Sang Ni’s mouth twitched, and she couldn’t answer for a while. If it wasn’t for the queen to treat her sincerely, she would have regarded it as a cheer.
After choosing the jewelry, the queen called the royal tailor to measure her size, and said that she was going to order a few sets of dresses for her quickly. Sang Niqiang resisted the impatient, her wooden face obediently cooperated all the way, rolling through countless black magic spells in her heart. .
Finally two hours later, the waiter came to inform that the two from the Magic Association had arrived.
Sang Ni’s back stiffened, and his heart said that it was finally on the topic of today. The president and her grandfather were both high-level mages, and it was not easy to hide them from them.
Although she had already figured out how to deal with it, she was still not completely assured of checking the magic fluctuations on her body. She couldn’t completely cover her death breath in front of mages of the same class, especially if the other party must use it on her. Various detection spells, so she simply went wrong and used the curse of exhaustion on herself-it is a kind of undead curse that will make people weaker and weaker, which corresponds to her weak state, and can be pushed to Erronil, who has no proof. .
After making sure nothing was wrong, she followed the queen to the main hall’s living room.
President Weiner is a very energetic old man, and Vice President Bakkenni looks more like a handsome and mature middle-aged nobleman, but in fact, as far as Sanny knows, the difference between the two is only about ten years old.
Looking at Bakkenni, and then at the queen, Sang Ni suddenly understood that this is the frozen age of blood inheritance.
“Sang Ni dear!” Bakkenni’s eyes flushed when he saw Sang Ni, “Bless God, I didn’t expect to see you again!”
Sang Ni: “…” Well, maybe there is also the silly white sweetness of blood inheritance.
Weiner patted him on the shoulder next to him: “Edmond, calm down, the princess can’t be too excited now.” As soon as he came in, he felt the faint trace of curse on Sanny.
Bakkeni was stunned for a moment. Without even thinking about it, he used a detection spell on Sang Ni. The breath of death suddenly overflowed, and the light of magic turned gray: “What’s the matter? Why is there a curse of the undead on you!”
The situation did not go wrong, Sang Ni silently breathed a sigh of relief: “This is a long story.” She was right about the time and began to make up a story: “I left the palace without knowing why I lost my memory, so I wandered all the way to the north. Kodak West City in the realm, was admitted to the magic academy there, and two years ago I graduated from there and started traveling, and found traces of necromancers in the elven sanctuary…”
Then she told her recent experience truthfully and falsely: “…After that, my companion and I destroyed the third main hall of the Dark Vatican, and unfortunately my companion stayed there forever…I am I fell into the bishop’s curse of exhaustion. Although I killed him in the end, the curse could not be solved.”
The queen began to cry when she heard it. Now her eyes were slightly swollen and choked and asked: “Curse of exhaustion? Why didn’t you say it yesterday? If I know, then…” She remembered the feature that the curse of the undead can only be lifted by the person who casts it. Feeling powerless.
Sang Ni reluctantly comforted her: “You don’t have to do this… My own magic can suppress most of the power of the Lord’s curse, but I will always be a little weaker than a normal human body.”
The queen just continued to cry and did not listen to Sang Ni’s comfort at all. She was also a mage anyway, even if she was not very talented, but the basic common sense was to understand-once the undead curse happened, how could it be easily moved over?
Weiner and Bakkeni were silent after listening. The incomprehensibility of the curse of the undead is recognized as common sense. They have no good way for a while, and it is a surprise that Sanny can suppress the curse. Usually, people who are under the curse, As short as a few days, as long as a few months, it will inevitably become exhausted to death.
However, the queen pinned all her hopes on them: “Your Excellency, father, do you know how to do it?”
Weiner used several detection spells on Sang Ni, and found that Sang Ni was not exaggerated at all. This is really a real undead curse, and the situation is even more serious than she said: “Your Highness, forgive me for the time being. “
He is also at a loss now. The original rhetoric is useless. He originally thought that the princess’s so-called poor health would be related to what happened twelve years ago, but she did not expect that she explained it to the Dark Vatican herself, and did not involve him at all. Relationship; I thought that the princess was deliberately showing weakness and planned to come back after gaining a foothold, but she didn’t expect that she was directly cursed by the undead—then rounding is a reprieve.
Bakkenney pondered for a while, and said, “I’ll try to find a potion to delay the onset of the curse as much as possible.”
The queen was completely panicked now. When she saw Sang Ni, she felt that she did not look right, but could not accept the result that the daughter she just found might not live long. Hearing Bakkenney’s words, she hurriedly asked: “Really Is it? Will Sang Ni be okay?”
“Let’s take a step.” Bakkenni felt uncomfortable: “I will do my best.”
Sang Ni didn’t dare to look at the two of them. She knew in her heart that even if she had to, it was wrong to deceive the people who really cared about her.
“I make you worry.” She lowered her head and said softly.
The queen hugged her: “Don’t think like this, it’s not your fault-by the way, father, look at why Sang Ni lost his memory back then?”
Bakkeni was taken aback for a moment: “Sang Ni, don’t you remember anything?”
“Yes.” Sang Ni nodded with a wry smile: “I forgot everything before, even… I don’t remember you.”
This is the only thing she can not deceive them.
sorry. She apologized silently.
Dawn is beautiful but short-lived, but she has gone forever, and now she is back with the indelible sun wheel in the dark.
The author has something to say:
President of the Magic Association: I feel she is donating me, but I have no evidence
Sang Ni: You are right to think so
