Skeleton King

When Princess Muse left the villa of the Black family, everyone treated her with a much more respectful attitude.

Originally, in the eyes of many nobles, Princess Muse was just a smart woman, and she was more suitable for being a high-ranking person than Prince Bartholomew.When they sighed in private, they didn't have other thoughts.But now, Prince Bartholomew has passed away, and the old king is in a coma. The nobles of the Finger Empire can't help but rejoice for the strength of Princess Muse's character.

When this empire is in trouble, they need a strong leader who can hold up the situation.

Ace personally sent Princess Muse to the gate of the Black family villa.When Ace sent Princess Muse to the carriage, Princess Muse's hand gently brushed the back of Ace's hand.

The actions of Princess Muse are not secretive, at least many of the aristocratic lords and ladies who were about to leave at the gate of the Black family villa saw it.And the silly noble lady giggled.

Princess Muse stepped out of the carriage suddenly, and she seemed to have a new and wonderful attention.Princess Muse walked up to Ace and exhaled like blue, "Duke Black, there is a bottle of red wine from the 235th year of the Finger Empire in the palace. Do you want to come and taste it?"

At this time, the meaning of Princess Muse is self-evident when making such a request.

The close-fitting black dress outlines the figure of the muse princess Miaoman. Under the light of stars and magic lamps, the long black hair and eyes look mysterious and charming.Even putting aside the identity of the muse princess, she is also a very attractive woman.

"Why not?" Ace responded with a chuckle.

At the door of the Black family villa, apart from the attendants of the Black family, Art was also there.Ace took the umbrella from Alter, and it was rainy in summer, and said, "Tell Cousin Eugenia, I won't be coming back tonight." Then Ace followed Princess Muse and sat on the got the carriage.

This scene fell into the eyes of many people.

In fact, Princess Muse turns 25 this year, an age at which many aristocratic girls are mothers of several children.

But because the old king is in poor health and Prince Bartholomew has no interest in state affairs, Princess Muse has not been married yet.

Although there are rumors of Princess Muse as the guest of honor in the imperial capital from time to time, very few people have seen it with their own eyes.At this time, the nobles were not surprised when they saw Ace getting into Princess Muse's carriage, they just took it for granted.

Many nobles even thought that it would be best for Princess Muse to be with Duke Black.Unlike the Pansy Empire, in addition to the Keosi family, the Murphy family has also sat on the throne, and the king of the Finger Empire will always be named Finger.

Even with the existence of Princess Muse, the ancient concept of the Finger Empire is not so easy to change.

Today, Princess Muse is not only famous for her kindness, but also has the support of several major knight orders.

The nobles of the Finger Empire did not want Princess Muse to marry any big family.

If the future husband of Princess Muse is an ambitious guy, the civil strife will be enough to overthrow the current empire without waiting for the army of the Pansy Empire to come.

As for Duke Black, he is handsome, of ordinary background, without much talent, and has the title of Duke, which is perfect for Princess Muse.The nobles of the Finger Empire didn't think there was anything wrong with their thinking at all. It was not easy for an ordinary-looking and majestic woman like Princess Muse to find a lovable person.

……

Ace has been to the palace of the imperial capital of the Finger Empire three times, each time at night.The first time was when he followed the mission of the Pansy Empire and arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Finger Empire. On the first day, a grand dinner was held in the palace.

The second time was Fenfur's dark moon wedding, which was witnessed by the stars all over the sky.

Now is the third time.

Ace sat in the carriage, looking at Princess Muse calmly.

Since getting on the carriage, Ace and Princess Muse have been sitting on both sides of the carriage clearly.The ambiguous atmosphere at the entrance of the Black family villa disappeared like a phantom.

Princess Muse's eyes were slightly cold, but Ace smiled half-smile.

With the rumbling sound of the carriage wheels, the carriage passed the high tower of the palace of the imperial capital of the Finger Empire and headed deep into the palace.Princess Muse gently brushed her sideburns behind her ears, but she looked at Ace with no tenderness in her eyes. She said lightly, "I thought you wouldn't come to the palace with me."

Ace wondered, "Why?"

Princess Muse turned sideways, the carriage was not that big, so she got closer to Ace.But there was no charming atmosphere between them at all, Princess Muse said: "You are very clear, I know who you are?"

"Who am I?" Ace blinked his charming eyes, the long eyelashes seem to be able to touch the heart of a girl, "Phil Black, doesn't Your Royal Highness know?"

"Heh." Princess Muse sneered.

However, the tacit conversation between Ace and Princess Muse made the tense atmosphere between them disappear temporarily, like the dark tide under the deep blue sea never existed.

Princess Muse grabbed Ace's sleeve with her hands, she leaned forward, and whispered, "What does Phil come to the palace for?"

"Didn't Her Royal Highness ask me to come?" Ace said without moving, "In fact, I not only appreciate red wine, but also have good medical skills."

"I believe it." To Ace's surprise, Princess Muse agreed with Ace's statement, but she said some things that Ace was not sure about, "But my father is not only poisoned. Fei Blake, you don't think that the Coase family's Charming Wine has been famous for thousands of years, and the Finger family still doesn't know anything about it, do you?"

When seeing Princess Muse at the banquet, Ace understood that Eugenia Black and Princess Muse already knew his identity, at least that he came from the Pansy Empire.

Eugenia Black's explanation was too pale, and only real mercenaries—people who had no knowledge of the lives of nobles would believe what he said.And Ace was exposed too early. As early as in the Black Manor, when the Duchess of Black talked about the 45th birthday of His Majesty the King, Ace blurted out "Princess Fenfur" enough to arouse Eugenia Black. doubted.

Ace originally only thought that Eugenia Black was an unobtrusive noble lady in the social circle of the Finger Empire, at most she had some business talents.But at the banquet, Ace saw the familiar gazes of Princess Muse and Eugenia Black, and thought of Eugenia Black's calm expression when she came, he understood that women are born actors, and he will always be an actor. They should not be taken lightly.

Ace doesn't need to hide many things anymore.Moreover, many things he guessed can only be confirmed by Princess Muse.

Ace thought of how a few months ago, in the imperial capital of the Finger Empire, sitting in a restaurant under the warm afternoon sun, he saw Prince Bartholomew inserting delicate roses into Fenfur's bun with his own eyes.

"The Charming Wine is made from hundreds of flowers. Each of these hundred kinds of flowers is very fragrant, but when mixed together, it becomes colorless and tasteless." Ace never knew that the gentle and kind-hearted Prince Bartholomew would be like that Calm and cold heart, "Since we returned to the imperial capital of the Finger Empire, Prince Bartholomew will put fresh, specially processed flowers on Princess Fenfur's bun every day.

Day after day, month after month, until I got the 'Meixiang Wine'.

At that time, as long as Princess Fenfur's hair gently brushes the sake...

It just so happens that the 45th birthday of His Majesty the King is the 100th day since Princess Fenfur arrived in the imperial capital of the Finger Empire, and even the time is right. "

Such a layout, not to mention Fen Fuer who has no plans, no matter how smart a woman is, she would never think of it.Unexpectedly, all the tenderness and sweetness of the lover will be turned into a murderous dagger, and he will use her to prepare poison for himself every day.

The Charming Wine was indeed made by Fen Fuer, but she didn't realize it.

As long as Fen Fuer still has a hair left in the martial arts competition, she will return to the world of death, and the grievances on her body will not be washed away.And how could Princess Muse lose such important evidence.

"Why?" Ace asked.

No normal person can plan his own death so calmly every day.

Ace's spiritual power quietly spread out, except for the unknown tower of the Imperial Palace of the Finger Empire, there was no breath of Prince Bartholomew's soul fire in any corner of the palace.

The carriage had already stopped somewhere in the palace, and it was so quiet that Ace and Princess Muse could clearly hear each other's breathing, as well as the goodwill and love that were hidden or placed in front of people. malicious.

Princess Muse did not answer him, but asked, "Why did you come to the Finger Empire?"

"In order to make money." Ace and Carl Caesar did not expect such a major event to happen to the Finger Empire. They thought that the two empires would maintain superficial peace as they did in the previous hundreds of years, at least until Prince Xiben came to power. peace can be broken.

"...We have hired thousands of mercenaries in the northwest of the Pansy Empire to dig herbs, and then use the name of the mercenary regiment to transport them to the Warcraft Forest. There will be no danger on the road." Ace said: "Isn't there a saying in the Finger Empire that [-]% of the profit can allow businessmen to take the risk of being beheaded, so it is the same for the Pansy Empire Be applicable."

Although Princess Muse didn't fully believe Ace's words, she didn't find anything wrong either.

Ace asked again: "Why? Why did Prince Bartholomew lay out this situation at the expense of his life?" This is what Ace has not connected with so far.

"Because he was about to die." Princess Muse's voice was faint, with an unknown dead silence.

But this was the first time that Ace saw the mocking and indifferent expression on Princess Muse's face tonight. It was no longer superficial, but a black desperate flower that bloomed from the abyss.
