Chapter 842 As the Husband’s Watcher
When he woke up in the morning, he covered his sleeping wife with a quilt, and Elsarion finished dressing alone.
The first thing the Watcher has to do every day is to fly twice around Tal Yris with the Stormwing. The prince is convinced that this will bring good luck to the kingdom.
I also firmly believe that maintaining training is necessary even in peacetime.
The gryphon is no better than the giant dragon. The former will still grow in strength even if it sleeps lazily in the cave for thousands of years, while the latter needs constant supervision and training from its master.
Only through decades of hard work can Knight Tal Gaiwo achieve such a prestigious reputation.
After the routine training, the watcher, who was soaked in the cold, returned to the Royal War Beast Management Center, took off his armor, and changed into the regular clothes worn by Prince Yris.
Just like the style of this country, it is not luxurious or exaggerated. The delicate wing pattern spreads along the chest, like an eagle that is still waiting.
He returned to the palace and found that his wife had been waiting at home for a long time. It was a hearty breakfast that Annabel must have spent some time preparing.
What is different from Caledor is that for a long time, the Tal Yris Palace has had a large number of private guards promoted from the people, also known as the Guardians of Esota Maha.
The prince is used to keeping in touch with these guards who are comparable to family members. The prince and his father do not meet often.
Under Annabel's strong suggestion, the two temporarily moved from the main hall of Yris to a more remote location and lived a normal life like a young couple.
The princess sat with her legs crossed, focusing entirely on the newspaper in her hand. When she noticed her husband's return, she only used her empty hands to greet him and hurry up for breakfast.
This very leisurely life made Elsarion feel very comfortable. He walked to the square table, pulled out a chair and sat down, picking up bread and wine.
If it were the former Elsharion, he would have put the food into his mouth immediately without saying a word, so as to satisfy this necessary survival need as quickly as possible.
But now, he has some peace of mind.
With some confusion, he asked his wife,
"What are you looking at? How can you be so thoughtful and ignore your husband who has returned from patrol?"
Annabell was not touched at all, even the newspaper was still placed in front of her, so that Elsarion could not see his face.
"If people knew that Prince Yris was actually a child who longed for attention at home, I don't know how many people would break their illusions."
Elsharion was not angry and responded according to his wife's words.
"If people knew that the elegant Ms. Annabell always liked to sleep with her quilt rolled up, like an insecure little girl, I don't know how many people's illusions would be shattered."
Annabell lowered the newspaper slightly, revealing a pair of bright and cunning eyes.
"Their illusions were shattered by the time I married you."
Eltharion did not respond directly and chose to immerse himself in eating and drinking. Although his family was not as good as the dragon tamer, if everyone uses the Lord of Caledor as a comparison object, I am afraid that only Malekith can stand up and say, my father Better than your ancestors.
It is also one of the oldest families in Ulthuan, and its reputation is far higher than that of the Dragon Prince who once pursued Annabelle.
Seeing that her husband remained silent, Annabel continued to read the newspaper. There had been a tacit understanding between the two in their lives for several years.
I really have to thank Rex for that troublemaker, otherwise the possibility of contact between the two would be very low. Who would make the prince think about using Iris as a war ally?
After breakfast, Elsarion was ready to pack up the tableware and go out, simply placing it on the table. When the couple was doing things, a servant would naturally come to wash up.
Seeing her husband about to walk out again, Annabell finally put down the newspaper and unconsciously hit the porcelain plate with the knife she was holding, making a crisp and rhythmic sound.
She seemed to be thinking about something, but made a decision quickly.
"There will be a big move in the Dragon Palace soon."
Elsharion stopped. Considering his wife's former identity, the truth of this news is probably very high.
"Why did Assanil tell you?"
"No, don't think too highly of my status in my uncle's heart. He is busy managing the Royal Navy and has no time to pay attention to a descendant of the family who is married to Iris.
His Highness has held several research meetings on productivity surveys, and his wife...Prince Adila has also returned to the palace. As expected, the prince should be preparing to issue a war mobilization order. "
"War mobilization order? Right?"
"Bad place."
Looking at Eltharion's disbelieving eyes, Annabell also knew that this answer was difficult for him to believe. Many people had evaluated Caledor's return for Operation Badlands, and without exception, they had fought with their predecessors who died in the Great Holy War. High King Erickson reached an agreement to retrieve the Phoenix Crown and the body of Caledor II for an unknown price.
But how should we evaluate this matter? Caledor II died in battle as the Phoenix King, not as the Lord of Caledor.
After the body of Prince Imladric was sent back to the country by the dwarves, the Dragon Kingdom lost a reason to call on Assur to regain the Phoenix Crown and the deceased monarch based on the Battle of Longbeard.
The reason for declaring war is very important. A war that is unpopular will definitely not end well. The consequence of accumulating public resentment is to consume the prestige accumulated by the Dragon Tamer family for thousands of years.
Subconsciously, Eltharion believed that Imric was planning to use his merits in regaining the Phoenix Crown to force Fenubar to step down in revenge for the farce-like outcome during the Great Council.
For such an important matter, he had no intention of paying attention to some trivial arrangements of the Mist Walker. He returned to his chair and asked his wife solemnly,
"Is it the Phoenix Crown?"
"I don't know." Annabell shook her head. Seeing her husband's confused eyes, she knew that Eltharion believed that he was telling the truth, but if it wasn't the Phoenix Crown, what else could it be.
The former Dragon Palace lady explained, "The reason for the palace's actions against the bad land has always been a big mystery. When I first learned about it, I thought that the noble council would definitely object strongly, but in the end, As a result, many important people volunteered to participate in the operation.
The prince must have told them something very important, but the specific content may only be known after His Highness issues a war mobilization order. "
Elsharion pondered for a moment. This matter was really strange when he thought about it. A large group of prestigious nobles in Caledor put aside their increasingly generous material conditions and voluntarily went to the harsh and cold bad land.
Even the Dragon Prince must give a satisfactory explanation to the nobles under his command, otherwise he would not work so hard.
"What do you think Iris needs to do."
The prince was very sincere, and his wife's judgment of the situation was very accurate, including the vague signs of division in the Great Council, and she had already predicted it.
These include the sudden revolt of an important kingdom, leading to earth-shaking changes in the situation...
"According to the past practice, even if Caledor announced his withdrawal from the War Council, Fenubar still did not dare to do anything to His Highness Adira. No matter what purpose the prince had for the bad land, I think as long as the result is achieved, Ulthuan The situation will undergo earth-shaking changes." (End of chapter)
