Archdemon

Time passed day by day.

On a tower, Huo Ling, wearing a palace wizard robe, was standing here, looking at the lively scene below.

Augustine's daughter was still going to get married, and the conditions negotiated by the envoy sent by the duke were not bad.

Augustine married a princess to a prince of the Ant Empire as his wife, although the prince was only ten years old and the princess was fifteen years old.

But no noble thought there was anything wrong with the age. The princess was five years older and had an advantage.

Although the ten-year-old prince was mentally retarded, so what? Even if he was mentally retarded, he was still a mentally retarded prince.

At the gate of the palace below, the wedding procession consisting of hundreds of carriages was ready. Outside the convoy, there were hundreds of elite palace guard cavalry, plus the infantry following the convoy, who would be the princess's guards this time.

The job of these guards was to escort the princess's convoy to the border of the Kingdom of Alto, where the guards of the Ant Empire would take over the guarding work.

Except for dozens of guards who will continue to follow as the princess's retainers, the other guards will return to the capital.

Huo Ling's excellent eyesight can clearly see a cute and lovely girl, who is crying in a luxurious carriage in a gorgeous dress.

She leaned on the window of the carriage, looking at her father not far away, and her tearful eyes seemed to want to beg her father not to send her away.

Her mother could only lie on the window of the carriage and cry with her face covered.

The nobles all knew the news, so how could the royal family not know it? A mentally retarded prince will be the princess's husband.

This is an insult to the Alto royal family, but Augustine swallowed this humiliation.

The court wizard Xili looked at this scene, and with some reluctance, he came to Augustine and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you delay the princess' departure... Anyway, we have to..."

"Enough! As my daughter and a princess, this is her destiny. Don't change our plan because of her... Teacher Xili, you shouldn't say this!"

Augustine's face was still as firm as a stone. The crying of his daughter and wife could not change his mind.

Xili looked at Afree again and sighed softly.

Xili served several generations of the royal family. Not only Augustine was Xili's student, but also his children, and even his grandchildren in the future, would probably be taught by him.

In Xili's dim and pale eyes, it seemed that Afree was a child, following him like a porcelain doll to play.

Her father Augustine was also like this when he was a child. The memory unfolded in front of Xili's eyes like a scroll.

Since when did Augustine become like this? It should be from the time when the crown of the Kingdom of Alto was placed on his head...

Augustine's youngest princess, Afrey, was still sent away. When she left, Afrey's tears had dried up and her eyes became red, but she did not change Augustine's will.

Huo Ling, who was on the high tower, looked at the tragic scene of the separation of flesh and blood below with a very calm look.

Everything in this world has been marked with a price in secret, and everything is just like this.

As a princess of the royal family, while enjoying the fine clothes and delicious food, she must also make due sacrifices when the country needs her.

Is Afrey's sacrifice worth it? It's hard to say, because the ambition of the Ant Empire has long been obvious.

Perhaps the marriage between the Ant Empire and Alto is to humiliate Augustine, and this short-lived peace may only last for a few months.

However, these few months are also very worthwhile for Augustine. With one more day, the power of his men will be stronger, and the speed of the increase of the power of the Ante Empire will definitely not be so strong.

After watching the excitement, Huo Ling turned and left. His tall and straight figure disappeared in the tower. The sun's light shone on his back, gradually lengthening the shadow.

...

"What! Aflei was robbed!"

In the palace, Augustine was like an angry lion. He smashed the things in his hand to the ground, and the huge force made the fragments fly everywhere.

Kneeling on the ground was a court warrior officer who was going to escort Aflei. This officer came from a noble family and was the second son of the noble.

At this time, the noble officer was kneeling on the ground and trembling. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not our fault. We have escorted the princess to the border and handed her over to the guards of the Ante Empire waiting there!

But they haven't left yetThe princess was kidnapped after driving for a while, and we dared not step out of the border..."

"Waste!" Augustine threw another object and hit the noble officer in the face. The huge force directly smashed his face.

Augustine was panting heavily. On the one hand, he was worried about the safety of his daughter, and on the other hand, he was also worried about the reaction of the Ant Empire.

Seeing this, Xili waved his hand and said to the noble officer in the audience: "Retreat and treat the wound."

Then, Xili looked at Augustine and said:

"Your Majesty, we have sent Afulei to the Ant Empire. Now there is a problem, which is also the problem of the Ant Empire. We should be the first to send an envoy to reprimand them and let them find the princess quickly! "

Augustine looked extremely tired. He waved his hand weakly and said, "Teacher Xili, you arrange it..."

...

Late at night, Augustine came to the demon army camp outside the city with his guards. In the dark night, he checked the soldiers here.

Feeling the strength of the soldiers here, as well as their equipment, and looking at the soldiers who were sleeping soundly, Augustine's face was unusually calm.

Soon, Augustine passed through the layers of demon army soldiers and came to the deepest part of the camp.

This is where Huo Ling practiced, and Huo Ling also noticed it as soon as Augustine entered the camp, and was quietly waiting for his arrival.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, why are you here?" Huo Ling looked at Augustine with a probing look.

"I hope you can help me search for Afulei's traces. This is a strand of her hair, which should help you find her. "Augustine took out a lock of hair tied with gold thread.

After Huo Ling took the lock of hair, he said with a hint of amusement: "After finding her, do you want to bring her back?"

"If it was done by the Ants, you bring her back. If not, you bring her back too..." Augustine seemed to be struggling.

"Do you really want to bring her back? The Ant Empire should start attacking. Whether Aflei wants to marry or not will not affect anything."

Huo Ling said to Augustine, who was carrying a lot for the country and the royal family.

"You make sense... If she doesn't want to come back, send her to the Kingdom of Tyr." Augustine took out a scroll and turned away.

Huo Ling opened the scroll, which recorded a coordinate, which seemed to be a backup plan arranged by Augustine.
