Chapter 62 Mossak: I have two pieces of news. One is good news...
"I don't know when Mr. Geralt came to Sintra last time. Sintra has changed a lot in the past few years. I will take you to places you have never been to before."
" The last time I came here was about ten years ago, when Pavetta was still there."
House said in surprise: "Ah... have you actually seen Princess Pavetta?"
Swader patted House and said: "Don't let the topic go too far. There is a new place called 'Rose Garden' in Cintra in recent years. How about we take you there to have a look?" Geralt looked at the
two attendants and said, "They all know it." "Looking at the familiar money bag embroidered with vines and leaves, he hesitated to speak.
"Then, let's go!"
.........
Cintra Palace, Ciri's expression was disgusting.
There was a dull pain in her butt, but now her whole body was forcibly pressed to the chair and unable to move.
A few days ago, Mossack and Ciri opened the portal back to Sintra, and met Queen Calanthe and her husband King East who had been waiting for a long time.
Let's review again, what is Queen Calanthe's nickname?
——"Lioness".
This is a metaphorical title, and it does not mean that Queen Calanthe is really like a lioness.
In fact, she is much better than the lioness.
Has anyone seen a lioness hunting?
Shirley saw it.
I believe that the people in the palace will not forget the fear that day when their ears were dominated by Ciri's screams, even many years later.
After teaching Cili, who had escaped from marriage, Calanthe made plans to betroth the little princess to a prince from another country.
This isn't just about finding allies against Nilfgaard.
Queen Calanthe, who is more proud than a lioness, will never admit that her country will be defeated by Nilfgaard; but as a wily politician, she knows the truth of the cunning rabbit's three holes.
As a grandmother, she prefers to find a way out for her granddaughter.
So Calanthe ordered the court painter to paint a portrait of Ciri called "Cirella, Princess of Cintra". I plan to send the painted portraits to other countries.
However, Xili was not in a beautiful mood after having just been beaten; her mood was even less beautiful when her butt was spanked and had to sit on the stool for a long time; after knowing why she was still sitting on the stool for a whole day after being beaten, Xili The expression...how to put it...
do you know the expression of a ten-year-old girl who is owed five million crowns?
The artist who painted Ciri's portrait saw it and painted it.
After reading the first version of "Cirella, Princess of Cintra", Queen Calanthe, who has a bold personality, laughed at Ciri loudly all morning.
No one in the palace saw the painter again.
Now, the second painter was facing Princess Cirilla, who seemed to be owed ten million crowns, with a frown on her face.
Ninety percent of the content on the canvas in front of him has been completed: the magnificent palace is the background, the dignified and elegant dress is the embellishment, and the petite and cute figure has already been laid out on the paper.
Only the princess's face was blank.
If you can't draw it, the painter really can't draw it.
Mossak sat aside and watched the excitement with a smile. Since he refused to use magic to heal Ciri's butt, Ciri didn't pay much attention to him.
At this moment, a guard at the door sang loudly: "Earl Lannister has arrived!"
Ciri's eyes suddenly lit up.
Lan came in from the door. He was wearing a gorgeous and slim-fitting court dress, and he was holding a finely carved sword box packaged in the style of a gift box in his arms.
Xili jumped up happily: "Lan!"
The gloomy painter was stunned and suddenly became excited.
This is the smile, this is the smile!
Mossak stood up cheerfully and said to the painter and the servants and nuns in the room: "You have been busy for so long, please take a rest." The waiters all bent down and said yes, but the painter lowered his hands
. stop.
Lann looked at Ciri's awkward walking posture and tried not to laugh too much. We couldn't talk about butts in this situation.
"Did you get beaten?"
Xili pursed her lips.
"A gift." Lann reached out and handed over the sword box.
Ciri wanted to jump for joy.
Opening the sword box, lying quietly inside was the small stabbing sword that Lan had planned to give to Ciri. It was recast from the steel sword of the Cat Faction Demon Hunter, and the decorative crystal fragments embellished on it were the crystals that Lan had absorbed the magic power from.
No one ever considered a sword a suitable gift for a young lady. But Xili was obviously not a "lady" in the traditional sense. Facing this stabbing sword, she was fascinated, and joy almost overflowed from her eyes.
"I want to name it 'Swallow'!"
Xili couldn't put it down and hugged it, while Lan looked on with a smile.
"Let me tell you, this sword turns out to be a steel sword used by demon hunters to slay demons, and the crystal on it is..." The
story is not thrilling, but it also made Ciri, who was raised in a boudoir, have bright eyes after hearing it. Several times I couldn't help but really jump up, grinning in pain but not daring to scream for fear of interrupting Lan.
After the story was finished, Ciri excitedly pulled out the little sword, stretched out her little finger and touched the sword curiously and timidly.
"Okay, okay." Mossack stepped forward and said, "Xili, you have to tell grandma that you have received the gift. I will tell Her Majesty the Queen to keep it with you, but you must also promise not to leave it with me." Is it okay to pull it out when no one is around to watch it?"
"Yes!" Xili hugged the swallow sword and refused to let go.
Smiling and touching Ciri's head, Mossack turned to Lan and said, "I'll take you to see the Queen and King first. They guessed that you would definitely come to see Ciri and told me to meet him." Just take them over there."
Lann nodded, and the two of them walked out of the room together.
After less leaning.
"It's done, "Cirella, Princess of Sintra"!" the painter shouted, "This is my best work!"... This was
not
the first time that the two of them walked in the corridor of the royal family together, and occasionally met each other in front of them. One or two generals who were in a hurry would pass by and whisper hello to the two of them. Lann and Mossack also returned the favor.
"Isn't the situation not optimistic?" Lan asked tentatively.
Mossak nodded solemnly: "The North has not encountered a war of this scale for a long time. The four kingdoms despised Nilfgaard and were unwilling to send troops, or they were happy to see Cintra, who was faintly threatening to them, in the war. We have lost all our troops."
"Fortunately, we still have reinforcements from Skellige."
Lann's face was solemn, time was really running out, and the Sword of Damocles hovering above his head was already shaking and about to fall.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's impossible for the queen to let you go to the battlefield anyway." Mossak shook his head with a smile and said to Lan, "Speaking of which, I have two good news for you." "First one
: I asked my fellow druids in Toussaint, and they finally discovered the remains of Thomas Moreu's secret laboratory in the Sansredo River in the Valley of the Nine. At first, they wanted to continue exploring, but who knew that suddenly A portal was opened, and a large number of water ghosts and drowned ghosts poured out of it. In the end, we had to let it go."
