On the southwest side of Vail, Kingdom of Swords, there is a large four-story building that is several times more luxurious than ordinary wooden houses. Most of the overall structure is made of cement, and the windows are specially made. The center of the house is painted with Kingdom of Swords The representative "sword pattern", the roof is designed as a sloping roof to avoid heavy snow in winter, the whole house is a square design, and there is a large area of ​​grass and wooden fences outside the circle.

On the turf that the servants are tending, you can also see a few wild horses raised by the family eating today's freshly baked green grass and special beans.

You don't need to think about it to know that it is a building belonging to the nobles. From the many years of oil stains that cannot be washed off on the walls and the slight scars from the wind and rain, it can be understood that the owner of this house has occupied the noble position for a long time.

In appearance, it is almost the same as a high-level noble. The problem is that the owner of this house is in a very special position in the country. It does not refer to the strength of force, but relies on other things to grasp his unshakable position.

Intelligence, this is the biggest weapon of the owner of this house. With the support of the leader and the praise of everyone, the family's reputation has always been maintained at the forefront of the nobility.

This house has a name, the House of Information, also known as "The Treasure House of the Empiri Family".

A woman with light brown hair, smooth and long hair that has become a lot dull after a storm and hard work, bright green eyes haggard a lot due to the devastation of daily travel, but the cold aura that gives people is not diminished in the slightest, wearing normal clothes When they saw the master of the family, many servants and housekeepers stopped working in astonishment. After a few seconds, they came back to their senses and rushed in front of the future owner of this room.

"It's been a hard day for everyone."

Empirifou lightly expressed his gratitude to the crowd who had gathered more than a dozen servants at once, although his expression did not change much, his tone was even more cold and unchanged, it sounded like he was trying to perfuse the joy of these crowds.

But everyone knows that the eldest daughter in the family, this is already her greatest gratitude.

Although Feng Ao was already very familiar with him, several servants still insisted on personally leading Fu Ao to the residence. If it wasn't for the strict orders from the "head maid with the highest authority", these people would look unwilling to return to their jobs.

During the time of going to the residence, Feng Ao constantly used the corner of his eyes to observe whether there was any change in his home.

The grass in the surrounding turf became more lush, and it seemed that a small wild horse had grown strong enough to be ridden by a child. These subtle changes and other things that did not change made Fengao feel indescribably moved and delighted.

Entering the building and stepping on the ground in the corridor on the first floor, the shoes inevitably make a "tapping" sound, and a dedicated servant behind him also moves with his feet.

The footsteps of the two resounded through the whole house without hindrance, as if they were saying "there is someone here".

The Empiri family is an expert in intelligence warfare, so the defense against assassins sneaking into the house is the ultimate. The ground is deliberately made to make a loud sound when you step on it. In addition, breeze, rain, etc. Such weak fluctuations will make the house produce different sounds, but they have the same meaning.

There are any changes in the dwelling.

The normally tense voice gave Feng Au a familiar kindness at this time, creating a sense of reassurance that "I am indeed back home".

"Sister, long time no see."

Probably because the voice was too loud, after walking less than [-] steps, there appeared at the corner ahead a woman who appeared to be slightly stronger, but her shoulders and lower body were ingeniously balanced. It has a body full of strong and sexy lines. It has the same hair color as Feng Ao, but the hair is short and about the length of the shoulders. The bright green eyes are more energetic than Feng Ao. On the contrary, those eyes are the aura released Is full of softness and warmth, perfect for bright green eyes.

The clothes are the work clothes often worn by the craftsmen of the Kingdom of Swords. It should be said that they are similar to the "exclusive clothing" of craftsmen. The hands wear thick iron gloves with protection from sparks, and the feet wear very revealing blue tights. , completely revealing her very proud sexy long legs, and her upper body is wearing gray-black clothes, but the hem of the clothes is all rolled up and wrapped around, so that her belly button and shoulders are all exposed, only the upper body is enviable The double-peak curve of is covered.

Even so, the sleeves are very thin, and with the way of deliberately winding, the whole body has long been completely exposed, which is a standard and daydream-inducing clothing.

"You're still the same, you don't have the self-awareness of being part of the Empiri family."

Standard sarcasm, hearing this cold warning, Feng Ao's younger sister squeezed out a smile without hesitation.

"Elder Sister is still the same, but she speaks so sharply when she comes back."

This sentence made Feng Ao faintly smile, the child has not changed much just like in memory.

The hair color and eye color of both of them show that they are blood family members in the family, but the length of hair, clothing and the breath released from the aura all present completely opposite styles.

"Huh? Why didn't I bring the fiberglass sword that I spent several months on my body?"

Bending his upper body, he quickly searched every part of Feng Ao's body with his eyes, and finally raised Feng Ao's hands directly.

"Why hasn't father come back yet?"

"The meeting may not end until early in the morning. Now is the time for the monarchs to meet. Let alone this, so where is my steel sword going? How? Is it useful?"

Facing his sister who was chasing after him, Feng Ao maintained his usual cold expression, without the slightest nervousness, and without guilt.

"Sister, did you spend a long time making that steel sword?"

"Yes, that is the top three masterpieces among all my works, and it is a specially made long sword. It was given to you as a reward for being honored as a hostage team. My heart is bleeding, so what? ? There should be many advantages in dealing with the enemy, right?"

Probably because no one answered my sister's experience, those bright green eyes released a hungry expression eager to get the answer, and the eyes were as happy as seeing the prey.

From the time I left the Magic Kingdom to the time I came back, the number of times I used it in actual combat can be counted with my fingers. The last time I used it was completely broken, and it was destroyed without leaving any residue.

No matter how I think about it, I can't say it.

"Second Miss, the Eldest Miss is already very tired, why don't you let the Eldest Miss go back to the room first?"

The servant next to him suddenly said that, the younger sister who was a craftsman showed a puzzled expression, and Feng Ao nodded slightly with a cold face.

Then, at a speed that surprised even the servants, he sprinted to one of the rooms on the third floor while maintaining a walking posture.

"Second Miss, I will notify you when the Eldest Miss is in good condition."

"Well, that's the only way to go. Remember to help me tell her that you must return it and let me take care of it!"

"OK."

Watching the second lady who looks very similar to Fengao leave, Fengao's exclusive servant lowered his head and sent the second lady back to the original room. It should be said that he watched the second lady go to her favorite room, the "basement of soldiers".

After confirming that she had left, the girl in standard maid attire moved back to Fuou's room.

Kaka.

"Miss, I have already sent Miss Er back."

"Thank you, please come in."

Open the white wooden door easily, and there is an exclusive dressing table and wardrobe in the endless huge space. The two big windows illuminate the starry night sky full of stars above. As the owner of the room, Feng Ao still has some scruples and just lies on the side of the bed .

"Miss, I suggest you take a shower first, and then go back to bed when you feel comfortable."

"Do not."

Negating this proposal, in order to strengthen his determination not to sleep, he deliberately used his hands as supports to prop up his upper body.

"I need to get information about Father's meeting in the meeting. Before that, please tell me the information of the past few days."

"I don't know what the lady wants to know?"

"First of all, why does everyone already know that we will come back? And their fear and indifference are not just the reaction of rumors."

"Miss is perceptive."

The maid sincerely admires the eldest lady's observation ability. Unlike the second lady's hobby of making weapons, the eldest lady's interests and nature are very in line with the characteristics of the family, and she will undoubtedly be the pillar of the future family.

When this thought came up hundreds of times, I took out a shelf with several sets of tea drinking utensils from the side of the dressing table.

It is a utensil usually used by servants and housekeepers to pour tea for their masters. If any master needs to drink tea, he only needs to push the "mobile dining cart for tea drinking utensils" to move quickly and conveniently. In this room, appearing in "the room of Feng Ou who just came back today", undoubtedly means that Feng Ou's deduction is correct, and everyone in the kingdom of swords knows that the hostage team will return today.

"Miss, please allow me to go to the kitchen to get hot water."

"Please."

As he said that, the man had prepared the ratio of black tea leaves, coffee beans, etc. "for refreshing" in advance, and pushed up the dining car and moved quickly outside the door.

Feng Ao couldn't help but recall childhood memories of the exclusive maid who had become proficient through several years of experience.

At that time, the person who was sent to serve Fengao was still very young and clumsy. He had to look around just to make a cup, and finally asked the master for help with tears in his eyes.

This memory has indeed become a memory.

"Elder sister, hehe."

Just as drowsiness was gradually eroding my thoughts, the white door was opened again, and what came out was not the cute and capable face, but a young girl with a dynamic smile on her face.

Seeing this familiar smiling face, Feng Ao's drowsy consciousness was immediately swept away, and he stared wide-eyed at the intruder who didn't even knock on the door.

"It's really rare. My sister actually showed a frightened expression."

Reminded by his sister, Feng Ao withdrew the change of excessive release of emotional turmoil, and quietly looked at the sister who was advancing towards the toilet seat with a blank face.

"You should have knocked first."

"That's right, because this is the basic etiquette of nobles, right?"

Still wearing an excited and lively high-spirited smile, he sat directly on the wooden chair with white bird feathers as the cushion, with toner and stained gloves thrown on the back of the chair, and his hands were crossed so that his chin could be held securely.

Already accustomed to his sister's attitude, it was a kind of helpless compromise, Feng Ao didn't care too much about this unreasonable and barbaric, and sat quietly by the bed with a faint smile on his face.

"How to get to me through the corridor, and why come to my room?"

"Well, anyway, I've lived for so long, so of course I know how to avoid making noises, and then I came here for my steel sword, of course, because I wanted to surprise me so I hid it?"

"..."

"That steel sword should be amazing, right? It took me a lot of painstaking efforts, especially using the invisible divine sword as a model, and its hardness is not inferior to ordinary weapons at all. Hehe, I'm not boasting , That’s really the weapon I spent the most effort on!”

A pride that exploded with confidence as if he had completed a certain major event, he raised his head more and more happily as he talked, and finally turned into a state of looking at people with his nostrils, completely presenting the so-called humbleness clearly.

"It's a great sword."

This was indeed my first thought when I first saw it. Besides, it was a weapon made by my sister after several months of painstaking efforts. I am really embarrassed to complain about it, let alone mention the facts.

Otherwise, this arrogance-filled appearance might immediately change into a mournful face, and run back to the quilt in his room and cry for several days.

"Right right! Hey, then quickly take it out, I want to take good care of it, and make it my latest and greatest work again!"

"Instead of this, tell me the current information."

"intelligence?"

Seeing this innocent and innocent face with his head tilted showing doubts, Feng Ao couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly even though he was in a tense atmosphere.

"I want to know why the people are indifferent to the hostage team recently."

"Hmm, why do you think Elder Sister is planning to change the subject?"

I don't know if it's because they grew up together for a long time or just guessed, the sudden words made Feng Ao's heartbeat stop, but the expression on his face still didn't relax because of it.

"Intelligence is the number one priority in anything."

Keep a deadpan attitude and respond in a very decent and family tone.

"Okay, I understand, it really is my eldest sister, but if you want to know the information from my mouth, I don't seem to know any information?"

"you know."

"what?"

"A craftsman must buy consumables and spares to make weapons. Coal mines, iron, hammers, etc. are all items that need money to buy. Just tell me the situation on the road and on the street."

"Eldest sister is really amazing, she actually reasoned from my career direction!"

Without any precautions or doubts that should be there, with an adoring and happy smile on her face, this is the sister Feng Ao knows very well.

He is also someone who needs to be worried from time to time.

"let's start."

"Well, first of all, I only go out once every three days, so let's start from the last time I went out. At that time, our country learned about the Magic Kingdom holding a special game of rights. The hostage team also got tickets for the battle. At that time People across the country are very excited and proud of your efforts."

As for the pure matter, Feng Ao's impression of this game is also very impressive, but this sentence has clearly revealed a big problem.

But Feng Ao just narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to listen.

"But yesterday, when I went out to buy materials again, almost all the people were discussing a certain topic in whispers on the street, and everyone showed expressions of worry and fear, so I couldn't help but ask the question out of curiosity. I went forward and asked."

"..."

"It's okay if I didn't ask, but I really scared me when I asked. The topic they were discussing turned out to be the outrageous content that there are traitors in the hostage team... Elder sister?"

Speaking of this, Feng Ao completely opened his eyes, even if his sister gently reminded him, he still didn't open his eyes, and stretched out his hand to signal his sister to continue talking.

"Well, to be honest, this topic is really weird, and then I continued to ask out of curiosity. It turned out that something happened in the finals, and the mercenary group was harassed and forced to stop. Arresting him as a criminal is equivalent to insulting the honor of the swordsman by the captain of the hostage team."

Swordsman glory, what a noble and important word, sounds even harsher now.

"Later, all members of the hostage team escaped and successfully escaped the pursuit of the Magic Kingdom. The price was to attract great dissatisfaction from the Magic Kingdom and warn our country. This series of actions is simply like the hostage team caused huge trouble for the Kingdom of Swords. The next thing is random speculation biased towards the people, some people began to think that the hostage team was actually bought by the Magic Kingdom to create an excuse for the Magic Kingdom to send troops to attack us.”

Feng Ao couldn't help admiring this kind of thinking. In fact, this series of chain reactions and results are all imagined possibilities.

Just didn't expect what happened to be the worst possible possibility.

"Ah, of course, I absolutely believe [-]% that Eldest Sister will not be a traitor in the hostage team, you must be framed by others!"

Probably insisting on believing in her sister's position, and immediately comforting her sister who had released a little sadness after speaking, but in fact, it only made Feng Ao feel more stinging and sad.

Emotionally, Feng Ao and everyone in the hostage team have a certain degree of understanding and communication. Even if he points a weapon at Noser, Feng Ao still thinks that the relationship between the two has not completely broken down. On the contrary, it is a real emotional exchange. .

The idea that there were traitors in the hostage team was a possibility that Feng Ao had thought about, but considering personal and emotional factors, this possibility was ultimately rejected by Feng himself.

Because she can't imagine that the teammates who have been together for nearly 100 days are disloyal people.

Even Feng Ao, who has a cold expression and is rarely willing to show emotions on his face, is unwilling to believe that there is a traitor.

"There are traitors in the hostage team. The people have doubts about this team. The war experience made them fearful and pointed this timidity to the hostage team. We just returned to China at this most sensitive time, isn't that right?"

"Sister, are you really okay? Do you want to wait a while and have a cup of black tea together? Recently, I found out that there is a kind of tea that does not have the astringent taste of tea leaves. It is delicious!"

"I'm fine, it's just that there is a big problem with this information."

It's not that Feng Ao didn't think of the doubts, but he hoped that his sister's answer would make the shadow he had already thought more clear.

"Yeah, it's strange. Our family is famous for information flow. I don't like this kind of action, but both the father and the housekeeper are very good at this kind of rules and methods, and they hate to instill them in me, so I still understand some of the strange points in it, for example, why is there a lot of rumors among the people that the confidential information that our family does not have?"

"Sure enough, you still have family genes."

"Huh? Elder sister is really good at making fun of me. How could I not have discovered this question."

A little chatter still did not resolve the tension and anxiety in Feng Ao's heart, on the contrary it made him more tired and painful.

"The secret that the family doesn't even know is spread among the people. There is only one possibility."

Compared with Feng Ao's tighter cheeks, the younger sister sitting on the dresser chair shook her head from side to side with a relaxed attitude, not thinking that this was something important to her.

But it doesn't mean she didn't think - the proof lies in her immediate response to Feng Ao's words.

"Some nobles secretly spread relevant information to the people, and then announced that there were traitors."

Unfounded but reasonable inference, Feng Ao could feel a powerlessness eroding himself.

Undoubtedly, it is the issue of the monarch of the country, especially in this sensitive situation with the Magic Kingdom - if some nobles are ignored and let the Magic Kingdom come in to attack, the Kingdom of Swords is likely to return to the collapsed and disintegrated state state of destruction.

"But it's only the weaker nobles who want to make trouble? It doesn't have much influence like this. It seems that there is no need to worry too much. Rumors are just unfounded guesses. People can only have negative impressions at most, so they shouldn't be really stupid. take action?"

According to normal logic, the old-school aristocrats with relatively rich rights, military strength, and territory are in a stable situation, and it is unlikely that they will want to use everything they own to fight against nobles with higher rights.

Only the aristocrats who bear the name of nobility, but are actually no different from commoners, want to give it a go and engage in wagering struggles when they have nothing to lose.

"No, this is something to be aware of."

"Huh? I'm not as powerful as big sister and can think so far. Could it really have a huge impact?"

In front of the nobles who have stabilized their power and the foundation, whether they are ordinary people or the nobles who have just risen, they all look small, and even a glance is enough respect for the other party-the nobles who have experienced it for a long time, it is impossible not to have this Subconscious arrogance.

Feng Ao understands that this is an idea that must have been brewed over time, and the younger sister in front of him is an obvious example.

"Saplings that can be seen everywhere will die as long as adults step on them. After being nourished by soil, rain and sunlight, they will grow into giant trees that cannot be shaken by adults."

"Well, do those rumormongers have such a great ability?"

"One day you will understand."

"Don't worry big sister, I'm a craftsman by profession, so it's good for big sister to deal with those troublesome things, and I, hehe, will help you with weapons behind your back! If you have any problems with the weapon, you can come back to the house to find I."

After speaking, he stretched out his thumb to his elder sister and showed a big innocent smile.

Seeing this sister who has completely become a craftsman, Feng Ao could only respond with a faint smile.

He didn't intend to preach to his younger sister any more, Feng Ao knew that his younger sister was no longer in the family business, regardless of her talent or interest, and her focus was on developing weapons.

Of course, there have been many twists and turns in the process, such as parents' opposition or rejection, and negative words such as being unsuitable for women to do extremely labor-intensive rough work.

She still persisted in herself and survived. Although she is not yet a great craftsman who dominates the country, she is indeed moving towards her goal and dream.

Unlike myself, who can't let go of the burden of family pressure, can only carry the "talent" in intelligence like a curse, and keep moving forward without end.

"If this inference is correct, how likely is it that Big Sister thinks there are traitors in the hostage team?"

"Nothing is impossible in this world, but I believe in my companions."

"Well, it's really strange that my eldest sister would say such a thing, are those people really so good?"

Facing difficulties and discussing solutions together, trying to survive in a hostile life circle together, sharing joy with each other... These memories of incredible experiences are close to a year.

"They're the best of friends."

"Wow! Eldest sister really likes them, huh? Is it possible that there are characters that eldest sister likes in it? This is big news! The eldest princess of the Empiri family has someone she likes!"

"Quiet."

Thanks to the provocation of his sister's words, Feng Ao immediately jumped up and sprinted in front of his sister, stretched out his fingers and grabbed the fair cheeks to deform the whole face, making his mouth unable to speak smoothly.

"Ah, I was wrong, I said, wrong, sorry!"

"Stop telling me who I like."

"Well, okay, okay, I understand, I won't talk nonsense."

When Feng Ao let go, the younger sister took a few deep breaths and responded perfunctorily, thinking in her heart "What did what I just said definitely arouse my elder sister".

"But it's really a pity. If the Empiri family and the youngest and most prestigious Dun reunite, the two families will definitely be able to stabilize their positions in the country."

"Shut up."

"Wow! Elder sister, calm down, I will never mention marriage...don't do it!"

Wang Xiangfengao stepped forward step by step, with a gloomy face, low and heavy steps, and a dangerous aura like a ghost exuding from behind. As a sister who has known him for several years, the memory of the past immediately emerged—the memory of being severely whipped.

His face turned blue with fright, and he jumped onto the chair, waving his hands in the hope of getting away from the beast.

Tap, tap, tap, boom.

A few steps of footsteps sounded quickly and frequently from the corridor outside, and then the wooden door sounded rhythmically to the strength and frequency of knocking that formed some kind of signal.

"Miss, I brought you black tea back."

The exclusive maid who went out to make tea a few minutes ago came back.

If in front of the maid, he lifts up his sister's butt and hits his hands hard several times, not to mention the younger sister, even Feng Ao himself would look a bit ashamed.

Out of face considerations, the two immediately sat back to their original positions.

"Please come in."

"Yes."

Click.

Opening the wooden door, I saw another master staying in the room besides Feng Ao. The maid did not open her eyes in surprise, but calmly dragged the dining car to an open space in the room and began to pour the teapot that had already brewed black tea into the glass. Inside the teacup.

If you take a closer look, you can see that the size of the teapot that the maid was holding was different when she went out and when she came in.

It is not the size for single use, but a large teapot with a relatively large capacity for sharing with multiple people—as early as the beginning, it was discovered that Feng Ao’s younger sister sneaked into Feng Ao’s room, even if the footsteps were deliberately eliminated to enter the room room, still being noticed by the maid who just left.

"Second Miss, how is the progress of your seventh weapon?"

In the process of pouring tea from the teapot into the cup, in order to avoid making the room too silent, the maid took the initiative to talk to the second young lady who was closest to her.

"Currently there are still some difficulties. The hardness and bending degree are not in the range I want. I plan to ask the master about this part in the near future, but I can guarantee that this weapon will definitely be a masterpiece, and it can even reach Excalibur. the height of!"

This high-pitched appearance caused the maid and Fuou to smile wryly.

"I wish you success in the production. Please drink tea, ladies."

After pouring two cups of black tea, the maid moved to the wall and stood there with her waist straight, like a piece of wood that no longer spoke much.

"By the way, let's ask the head maid to chat with us, I think she must also be curious about the members of the hostage team, how about big sister?"

"no problem."

Feng Ao glanced at this standard-looking maid from the corner of his eye, stood up straight and moved to the dining car until he got permission, and continued to pour tea for the two ladies at any time.

Although she is a very kind and competent maid, as long as there are more than two masters in the same space, she will insist on her demeanor and behavior as a maid.

Feng Ao didn't think that these actions were special or bad before. In fact, it was just that the maid was trying to stick to her own rules.

However, after a long period of observation in the Magic Kingdom, Feng Ao has obvious thoughts and attention to this detail that he did not pay attention to at first.

If it is too pedantic in the rules and models, it is likely to become like the nobles of the Magic Kingdom, treating civilians with rudeness and disrespect, including serving their own servants and housekeepers.

What's even more outrageous is the secret struggle for power and the mutual irony of rules with his closest sister.

Feng Ao, she didn't want to treat her servants and dearest sister who took care of her like this in the future.

"Peach, let me say something."

Fuou blurted out "the name of the exclusive maid" softly, not only the maid who was handling the tea was so surprised that she almost dropped the whole tableware to the ground, but the younger sister's center of gravity shook violently and fell directly to the ground.

"Yes, miss."

"When it's just us, don't restrict yourself too much."

"Elder sister really surprised me. I never thought that I would hear the day when elder sister called the maid's name. I'm sure it's not a dream, right?"

He returned to the seat from the ground, but when he thought of the scene where his elder sister blurted out Tao Zi's name just now, he still couldn't bear to shake from side to side.

"You're sober."

Not intending to argue with his sister, Feng Ao sat quietly by the bed, drinking the seasoned black tea that exudes the warm tea aroma, closing his eyes and immersing himself in the nourishment of the taste even more.

"My eldest sister is really different. I couldn't see it at first, but now I am very sure that my eldest sister is really different. The Magic Kingdom is really a magical country, and my eldest sister has been transformed into this. Hmm! Look carefully Look, the sharp aura on my body is not as stinging as before."

Speaking of sincere sighs and admiration, I did not forget to ridicule my sister at the end, evoking an exaggerated smile that was happy for my sister.

"I do not deny."

"Hahaha! My God, it's really different, you can marry, no, I didn't say anything!"

Sensitive words resurfaced again, and the helpless and gentle gaze immediately released a ferocious gaze like a wild beast, and one could even see a deep and terrifying color full of darkness from Feng Ao's eyes.

In order to prevent Feng Ao from rushing up to spank his sister's butt, Tao Zi picked up the teapot and poured tea for the young lady again.

"thanks."

It's not as arrogant and demeanor as the master to thank, but to thank the maid equally and sincerely.

At this time, a flush appeared on the face of the maid, and she nodded vigorously a little bit shyly.

"Big sister, what about the other members of the hostage team? You haven't finished talking yet, ah, there must be handsome guys, right?"

"You didn't come to see us when we left?"

"After saying goodbye to my eldest sister, I continued to focus on making weapons, so I didn't look at it."

My younger sister has such a personality, focusing on one thing, and everything else that is not of interest will be ignored or directly ignored.

"Peach, what's your impression?"

Before Fuuuu, the younger sister spoke to Fuuuu's exclusive maid first, and deliberately used the name "Peach".

Feeling the eyes of the two masters focused on her, Tao Zi coughed softly to let her throat open slightly and said softly.

"Bavi Noser, who is a member of the same team as Missy, is a representative of a standard commoner. His swordsmanship in school is at the top of the class, and his knowledge of the Magic Kingdom is weak. However, relying on temporary supplements in the library, he made some progress before departure. There are top few elites in the Kingdom of Swords.”
