Chapter 173 The meeting between the prince and the princess The recovery of the Royal City of Celia greatly enhanced the prestige of the Princess Irina. When she finally ordered all the troops outside the city to enter and station in various parts of the Royal City, and eliminated all traces of Duke Rono in the city, all the people in the Royal City Everyone realizes that this will be a new beginning.
These people in the city lined the streets to welcome the emperor's army, and celebrations were held everywhere in the royal city. The excitement was no less than the major festivals here.
The eldest prince Cortes was sent out in person. He was in an incredible state at this time. After all, from the time when Duke Rono mentioned him to the time when the princess Irina finally captured the royal city, it was only two days!
Cortes has not seen his sister Irina for nearly a year. The princess Irina entered the southern city to live, while the eldest prince Cortes led the army to fight against the rebels in the north. After the battle, until the sudden death of Emperor Mavia occurred, the two of them were involved in a huge conspiracy, and dozens of months passed in a blink of an eye.
It wasn't until Irina returned to the royal city with her troops today that Prince Cortez felt like it was dawn.
The eldest prince was sent to the castle. The man said that the princess Irina would arrive soon, but Cortes was somewhat uneasy.
At this time, he had become a cripple, with one eye blind and one arm missing. This made Cortes somewhat unable to guess what the princess would say after seeing him.
Maybe he will dislike his younger brother, maybe he will be sarcastic, maybe he will cry bitterly...
"Cortes!"
The eldest prince was in the midst of random thoughts, until a sudden voice came to his ears. He raised his head and saw the figure of the princess Irina flashing in.
"elder sister!"
Cortes hurriedly stood up, and the attendants beside him quickly came forward to support his body to ensure that he would not fall.
"Why are you like this!"
Irina immediately saw the missing arm and blind eye of Prince Cortez, and she was immediately heartbroken. After several seconds, she said fiercely: "Damn Rono, how could he die so easily?" He should have been tortured and then died of despair!"
When Cortez heard this, he burst into tears. In front of his real relatives, the eldest prince, who had always seemed to be resolute, finally took off his disguise. He just cried bitterly, and it took a long time to calm down. God came, took a deep breath and said: "Rono did not torture me to death, he wanted to keep me as a stepping stone for him to ascend the throne and become emperor..."
Irina signaled the attendants beside her to leave first, and she comforted the prince Cortes with good words. Then the topic changed and they talked about the cause of death of their father, Emperor Mavia II. superior.
"I once heard someone in the dungeon say that my father's death was a joint effort between Rono and some nobles with evil intentions."
Cortes said with a gloomy look on his face: "Rono is just a superficial presence among that group of people. Many nobles in the three independent countries before the Coman Empire formed the alliance are still looking forward to it." If Koeman splits again, it would be better for them to try to become the king of a small place..."
Irina patiently listened to her brother's intelligence information, and waited until he finished speaking before speaking out: "I already know some of this, and I have sent people to investigate these things. It won't be long before we have the answer. .”
Cortez nodded towards the princess Irina, then stared directly at his sister. After a few seconds, he slowly said: "Sister, there are quite a lot of calls in the city for you to be crowned emperor. .”
Irina seemed quite calm after hearing this. She smiled and asked, "What do you think?" "Of course I support the emperor's sister."
Cortes pointed to his broken arm with his only remaining arm and said with a sad smile: "The emperor of the empire cannot be a cripple. As the eldest prince, I have fallen to this end. This is my fate. Since this is the fate. The imperial sister has public opinion here, so it would be best to take advantage of the situation and ascend the throne as emperor."
"What about you?"
"I?"
Cortez shook his head: "Sister, please just treat me as a younger brother. I have understood life and death, and have looked down on fame and fortune. The identity of the eldest prince is just a burden to me. I beg the Queen to reward me by then." Just give me a few slices of thin land and let me finish my lower body safely."
Princess Irina stared at the eldest prince Cortes for a long time, and then sighed slightly.
"I have a good place to go."
Cortes looked at his sister in confusion and learned from her a place he had never heard of before - an outpost somewhere in the south.
Princess Irina slowly told her brother about her experiences in the past few months, from the time she was chased by orcs and crossed the mountains, from the time she was rescued by an army with strange weapons, from the time she entered the outpost The base saw all kinds of fantastic equipment and tall buildings rising from the ground...
The eldest prince Cortez was fascinated by what he heard. He never thought that his imperial sister had such a magical experience, nor could he imagine the appearance of those strange creations described by Irina. He only knew the words in Irina's mouth. That outpost is a place full of wonders!
"...If you go, you will definitely be welcomed by them. Then you can definitely learn their language and their advanced technology, and eventually you can continue to shine for the empire."
Princess Irina finished speaking with a smile, which really aroused Cortes' interest.
After being excited for several seconds, Cortez still looked at his arms and eyes with worry: "But I am in this state now..."
"The outpost has a lot of technology that is far beyond our knowledge. They call it 'technology'. They can easily treat seriously ill patients, even some magisters who are about to die due to the power of the magic curse!"
Irina looked at her brother with sharp eyes, "I believe there can definitely be some kind of technology there that can allow you to regain your left hand!"
Cortez hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded: "Then I will follow the imperial sister's instructions and head to the outpost!"
Irina responded with a smile, saying that she would personally talk to the outpost about this matter. She breathed a sigh of relief as if she had finished handling a major matter, and turned to Cortez and continued: "The outpost The relationship with us is extraordinary. You must not be arrogant and domineering after you go there. The punishment you will receive when the time comes is a small matter, but the relationship between the two places that affects us is a big matter."
Cortes agreed with a serious look on his face. He knew very well how the princess Irina got to where she is today. It was precisely because of the terrifying strength of the outpost that was kept secret! The reason why the princess was able to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops in Brest City was because it was absolutely impossible without the force of the outpost to deter them!
