The palace of the City of the Sun was not as large as it looked — because a considerable part of the land belonged to the temple.
But even so, the palace was obviously not small … The guard followed Princess Yamana all the way, and it took about 20 minutes to finish the transition area between the temple and the palace.
During this period, Princess Yamana didn't even turn around to say a word to the guard behind her — she didn't know what to say.
Princess Yamana was a person who liked to reflect. At this time, she was reflecting on her behavior just now, which seemed to be a bit too reckless — of course, if it were another royal family, they probably wouldn't take such a trivial matter to heart.
But Princess Yamana knew that if she wanted to be a wise ruler, she couldn't abuse her power … All power needed to serve the kingdom and the people, so that the country could last for a long time.
Princess Yamana was very strict in governing the army, and she was also very strict in monitoring the ministers of the various systems in the kingdom. She was even very strict with herself … She suddenly worried that the guard would associate her with the abuse of power because of this incident.
— Probably because of the giant beast, I messed up my self-control … Her Royal Highness quietly explained to herself.
"Ebon, where is your home?" Princess Yamalana heaved a sigh of relief, then turned around expressionlessly and asked in a seemingly casual manner.
— Let's start with the daily life … An approachable image is also a virtue that a wise ruler should have.
The princess also quietly gave a good reason for her action.
"It's quite far." The guard thought for a while and said, "It's in the east, far away from here."
Princess Yamana nodded, "Is it on the east city wall … It's quite far from the palace."
The air was dead silent for about half a minute, and then Princess Yamana, who had always been good at talking, suddenly said, "I like the market on the east city wall. I've passed by it several times, and I wanted to go and have a look."
The guard blinked, with a look that said, "Go on, I'm listening."
"Well, that's all."
Princess Yamalana turned around and strode forward … She couldn't help but smile bitterly. In fact, she was not good with words, and she rarely communicated with people like this, not even with her father in the kingdom.
She suddenly realized that in addition to the high priest, in this Sun City, she seemed to have never talked to anyone easily … This guard probably wouldn't either — because she was a princess and he was just a small guard.
"Since we've passed by it several times and want to go in and take a look, why not go in and take a look?"
"I can't stop." Princess Yamanlana immediately stopped and replied faster than the guard had expected, "Once you stop, you'll be relaxed! The kingdom is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. We have always been under great threat. If we are not careful, what awaits us is the destruction of our country! "
"Princess, are you referring to the giant beasts in the desert?" The guard asked curiously.
Princess Yamalana nodded and said seriously, "These giant beasts are not only huge, but they can also hide under the desert. Some of them can even disguise themselves as rocks. If you are not careful, you will become their food. In order to wipe out these giant beasts, Sun City sacrificed many young soldiers every year. Moreover, I don't know when this kind of war will end … Perhaps, perhaps one day, Sun City will cease to exist. Who knows? "
The guard looked back at the temple in the distance and asked curiously, "Isn't Sun City protected by the Sun God … Even so, it will still fall?"
Princess Yamalana shook her head as if she didn't want to say more. She looked deeply at the guard and suddenly asked, "Iben, young warrior, when danger comes, are you willing to step forward and fight against death for your country and your family? The day when the night is the longest is coming soon … Are you ready? "
The guard shook his head directly.
Princess Yamalana looked at Iben in surprise, then shook her head and said with a complicated expression, "In fact, I'm not ready either … The whole kingdom is not ready either, but only a few people can see it clearly."
— This princess seemed to have misunderstood something.
But the guard didn't intend to explain.
He just thought for a while and asked, "What are these giant beasts?"
Princess Yamalana suddenly said, "Iben, you haven't seen these giant beasts with your own eyes, right? I'm not talking about what you see across the city wall on the day when the night is the longest … But standing in front of them and touching their bodies. "
"Indeed, I haven't." The guard shook his head again.
Princess Yamalana suddenly smiled, as if she thought of something fun, "Come, I'll take you to a place."
The guard said, "Princess, aren't you going to attend the banquet?"
Princess Yamalana said indifferently, "This kind of boring banquet, you can go anytime … If you're hungry, I'll let you prepare something for you."
The guard smiled and said, "I don't seem to have a reason to refuse."
Princess Yamanlana glanced at the young guard angrily … She was the princess of the City of the Sun. How could she treat him like a prince? Probably, it had been a long time since she had met a guy who didn't care about her status as a princess.
"Iben, have you thought about what the outside world is like?" Princess Yamalana suddenly asked.
"The place outside the desert?" The guard thought for a while and said, "It's said that there are places outside the desert, but the giant beasts block the way out of the desert."
Princess Yamalana said, "How can it be only the giant beasts in the desert that block the way? The outside world … "
"The outside world?"
Princess Yamalana shook her head, and her expression became serious again, "Nothing, we have to speed up … Although we don't have to be there on time, it'll be troublesome if we keep missing the banquet."
She walked in another direction, and her pace gradually quickened … Along the way, she didn't stop to talk to the young guard.
…
'I'm going to die …' This thought had been completely thrown out of Claudia's mind, and was replaced by 'I'm going to die'.
She probably underestimated Princess Yamalana's influence in the kingdom — Originally, she was only traveling with Moni, the son of the minister of agriculture, but the number of people in the team gradually increased.
They were all the sons of the ministers of the kingdom … Claudia met them on the way, and then like ants around honey, they immediately stuck to her — They sang praises beside her.
Claudia didn't see how outstanding these sons of the ministers were, but these guys were quite good at sweet-talking … In school, Claudia had never experienced being surrounded by so many men.
She always felt that this experience of being surrounded by men was like a monkey in a zoo.
But the real experience was … It was actually not bad, it was really nice.
Claudia couldn't help but feel like she was floating in the sea of handsome, sunny, or polite appearances … She even thought to herself, 'Since I can meet Princess Yamalana, who is like me, and also meet Ibben, who is like Arria, would I also meet a guy who got separated from me?'
As one of the sons of these ministers?
"What are you looking at?" Mr. Otto, as the guard of Princess Yamalana (Yamalana), leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Did you find something?"
"No … Nothing." Mr. Otto's voice made some strange thoughts disappear from Claudia's mind, and she quickly said, "I just want to see if that guy came here … Really."
"Yes." Mr. Otto nodded, looked at Claudia strangely, and then said, "You need to find a reason to leave in front of these young masters … We are about to reach the banquet venue, once we meet the real Princess Yamalana, we will be in trouble."
"I know." Claudia's face gradually became dignified … If she just wanted to find an excuse, then that was the only excuse.
"Everyone, I have something to do, please excuse me …" Claudia opened her mouth, but suddenly interrupted.
"Yamalana, the pride of the kingdom, my daughter!"
Not far away, the Pharaoh of the kingdom, surrounded by a group of attendants, slowly walked over … The sons of the ministers around Claudia all stepped back.
Claudia's eyes suddenly turned black, and she gave Mr. Otto a death stare. Then, she watched the Pharaoh of the kingdom finally come in front of her with her scalp tingling.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Otto lowered his head at this time and quietly took two steps back … Claudia's pupils couldn't help but shrink — I have never seen such a shameless guy!
I'm so angry —!
"I thought you didn't plan to attend tonight's banquet." The Pharaoh of the kingdom didn't find anything wrong with the princess in front of him. He affectionately grabbed the princess's hand and said with a kind smile, "I sent someone to your palace to look for you, but I didn't see you. I didn't expect you to be here. I'm so happy, my daughter."
Claudia had to bite the bullet and said, "After all, it's a celebration banquet. If I don't attend, others will say that I don't respect you."
The Pharaoh of the kingdom opened his mouth and looked at his daughter with some surprise, then suddenly laughed and said, "Others said that Princess Yamalana's achievements overshadowed her master's, and she never put me in her eyes … Look, look at all of you! The people who said this can be executed! This is my good daughter! The pride of the kingdom! Hahahaha! "
Everyone kept quiet out of fear, cold sweat dripped down, and they all agreed.
The Pharaoh of the kingdom didn't care about this. He pulled the princess's hand and walked towards the banquet area, and said loudly, "Let's go! My princess! Let these people see how good the relationship between us father and daughter is! "
[Princess] … Claudia's wrist was grabbed by the Pharaoh of the kingdom, and her heart suddenly beat fast, and her breathing became rapid … Her legs became weak.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die, this time I'm really going to die!
Claudia's neck stiffened and looked back, but she saw that Mr. Otto didn't say anything at this time, and quietly mixed in with the Pharaoh's servants and guards … She was more or less relieved.
Unexpectedly, after a short while, Mr. Otto, who had blended in with the servants, had disappeared … Claudia immediately cursed, "Men are all trash!"
"My son, who made you angry?" The Pharaoh of the kingdom was shocked at this time, "Did these guys offend you? You must tell me! I will execute them for you! "
How much do you like to execute people …
"Yamlana?" The Pharaoh asked again with concern.
Claudia suddenly remembered that before entering the palace, Ibben had said that this banquet was for the Pharaoh to choose a husband for Princess Yamlana. She suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Tonight, there will be a person who can spend the rest of my life with me, but I like to give this person some tests."
The Pharaoh of the kingdom couldn't help but ask curiously, "Tests?"
"I need to prepare …" At this time, Claudia said seriously, "In order to be fair, only I can know the test questions."
The Pharaoh of the kingdom heard this and immediately waved his hand, "This is easy … Come, prepare a room for the princess!"
Just like that, the [Princess Royal Highness] walked into a separate room in the banquet hall under the watchful eyes of the crowd. However, in order to keep this test a secret, the Pharaoh even sent more than ten warriors to guard the room to ensure that no one would be able to peek into the room.
In the room, the princess sat paralyzed in front of the door, and muttered to herself, "Why did I make such a request, isn't this … reaping what I sowed?"
Since outsiders couldn't enter, the [Princess] naturally couldn't leave either.
…
This place didn't look as luxurious as the other places in the palace, but it was definitely not shabby — and there were many soldiers guarding this place.
The soldiers looked like elite soldiers, and they didn't smile much. Even when Yamlana came in person, she didn't make much noise and just quietly opened the door.
"What is this place?" The young guard asked curiously at this time.
"A place to study the giant beasts." Princess Yamlana said indifferently, "This place collects some of the giant beasts that the kingdom has killed over the years. The best scholars of the kingdom are all here, and their only purpose is to study how to kill the giant beasts more effectively … Come, I will take you to see the giant beasts' bodies. "
Unlike the indifferent guards outside, they had to go through a lot of guards to enter the research institute. When the people working here saw Princess Yamalana, they all came up to greet her warmly.
The young guard took advantage of the time when Princess Yamlana was talking to the scholars here and began to look around.
This place was like a museum, and there were shelves around the huge bodies. Looking at the shape of the bones left, it seemed that one could already imagine the appearance of these giant beasts when they were alive.
The young guard gradually walked to the front of a pool, and a pungent smell suddenly came into his nose. In the transparent liquid in the pool, there was a huge and ferocious giant beast's head.
"Very shocking, right?" Princess Yamlana had come behind the young guard without him noticing, "This is the giant beast's head, we killed it two years ago. We spent a lot of effort to cut off its head and transport it to this place. "
The young guard blinked his eyes and suddenly asked, "What's the thing that's soaking this head?"
"Formalin." Princess Yamlana said casually, "It is a kind of potion used to prevent the body from rotting. Most of the giant beasts' bodies and internal organs here are soaked in this potion."
Formalin … solution.
