Chapter 771 Zhu and the Crown Prince
To reach the Wolf Pack Hall from the backyard of Wolf Castle, one has to cross a suspended covered bridge.
On the snow-covered covered bridge, a group of young wolves were talking about the mysterious "Mr. Lothar" who came riding on a dragon.
"I remember that Elemer always mentioned this name. It seemed that he was a member of the tribe who died alone with the entire Yakshi liquidation team."
"How come we have no impression of such a big shot?"
"Who knows? Maybe due to pressure from Yaxi, the family hid the news."
"I heard that he was the one who transported the weapons of the Texans on his dragon. It is said that he emptied an entire British arsenal, as well as a British airship. He destroyed half of them with just one dragon!"
"real or fake?!"
"Look, who's coming!"
"Nina!"
The fair-skinned and beautiful wolf girl, who was talking excitedly about "Mr. Losa", twitched her ears and then rushed over excitedly with a scream.
But Cherinina just turned slightly to avoid it. The wolf girl pouted a little aggrievedly, "We haven't seen each other for so long, what's wrong with a hug?"
Cherinina pursed her lips, unable to help but smile and open her arms.
"Long time no see, Lina."
The wolf girl leaned into Nina's arms with a satisfied look on her face: "It tastes so good, familiar. But after so many years, how come you haven't grown any bigger?"
A crowd of people gathered around and said, "Nina, you've taken good care of yourself. You look almost the same as before. We all look older."
"We brought you a lot of candies this time. They are all new Christmas products recently launched by your favorite candy shop across from the Sunset Bar. I heard that they are handmade by a professional dessert master."
"Why haven't you written back a few letters in all these years?"
Those present were the "reinforcements" of the Saluzzo family, a total of forty-five people, all of whom were centurion-level fighters, and were considered all the elites of the younger generation of the Saluzzo family.
Their equipment is also excellent. They use magical weapons, and their firearms are all hand-made customized magical firearms. They have different styles and even calibers, and are all made by professional master craftsmen.
At this time, Valentina brought so many elite troops to the New World, which showed her sincerity.
"Everyone, long time no see..."
Cellinina spent most of her childhood at the Saluzzo family. A Basilicata among a group of Saluzzos would be somewhat excluded, but it would get better over time.
They trained together, ate together, practiced martial arts together, and assassinated enemies together. How could it be possible that there was no friendship between them?
She looked at every companion she had spent every day with. Of the assassins who had walked out of the training camp together, only one-tenth of them were still in the team. She didn't know if they stayed in Saluzzo or...
Although the wolf clan is an immortal species, it does not mean that they will not grow. Over the past twenty years, their former companions have changed a lot.
The scars, wrinkles, and gloomy aura of the assassins are like the growth rings of a tree, making the young generation hiding in the shadows appear much more prudent.
As her eyes swept across these familiar faces, her memory was unconsciously dragged back to twenty years ago - even though the gap of twenty years was not that long at all for her, and her mood became particularly complicated.
When she left Saluzzo, she had no idea that it would be the last time she would see many of her companions.
"Everyone, welcome to New Basilicata."
Her voice paused, as if she was not used to this kind of occasion. She unconsciously thought of her own parents, and her tone became much more confident.
"I will treat you all well tonight. Thank you for coming from afar to help us. The people of Basilicata, the New Wolf Tribe, and Texas will remember your righteous deeds."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The wolf girl called Lina said faintly, "Although you can't tell from her appearance, Nina has grown up. She can even say such meaningless polite words as the young lady often says."
This happy scene made Viviana, who was standing on tiptoe to peek at the other side of the bridge, a little envious.
Miss Judge came up behind her and gently placed her hand on her long platinum curly hair: "Are you missing home?"
"A little."
Miss Fallen Deer nodded first, then shook her head and said, "But I don't know who I should think of. I don't have any friends, and I don't think anyone will think of me."
The Hohenzollern family is also quite large. In addition to the most prominent Brandenburg family, the Sigmaringen family in Romania, the Prussian and Baltic Knights family are all important branches of the Hohenzollern family. The total number of the four branches can reach thousands.
The judge was a little curious: "Do you have a brother?"
"Yes, I am the eldest princess of the Hohenzollern family..."
Miss Fallen Deer smiled and said, "But everyone and I don't have a good relationship, especially little William. To be honest, I don't understand why he is so hostile to me, even though I can't threaten him at all."
When Queen Maria Theresa, who founded the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty, came to the throne, the Golden Bull still led to a War of the Austrian Succession. The Elector was a very realistic person and obviously would not risk passing the position of Elector to her.
She said with a self-deprecating tone: "Since I was born, I have always been surrounded by servants of all kinds. Everyone was polite to me, but kept me at a distance and didn't even dare to chat with me privately. I seldom saw my parents. At that time, I always thought that as long as I was outstanding enough, I could win their favor."
"But in reality, no one can make them happy. My mother always thinks that the Margrave of Brandenburg is a poor and remote place, the court rules are strict and complicated, and there is nothing good in literature and art."
"As for my father, he preferred to emulate his great-grandfather and be a 'soldier king', living in a military camp, and he treated every child as harshly as he treated his soldiers."
Lavinia was startled for a moment, then reached out and stroked Viviana's smooth white-blonde hair.
As if she had opened the conversation box, Viviana couldn't stop: "In fact, little William is also a poor child. He was born with a disability in his left arm. He couldn't learn the family swordsmanship, and his talent in magic and psychic power is also mediocre."
"My father always accused my mother of bringing the royal family's disease to the Hohenzollern family, and little William hated my mother. In fact, she tried to make up for it, such as attracting lightning to infuse her body, taking a lot of magic potions, and using iron rods to bind her arms to correct it."
"cough!"
Lavinia couldn't help but cough loudly: "I think your mother's way of making up for it is worse than nothing."
Viviana sighed softly: "I think so too. Maybe this is why little William's personality has become so extreme."
"My father always said that His Majesty the Emperor was Emperor Franz, and that he was an indecisive, weak and incompetent emperor. But in fact, I think that when it comes to being a father, His Majesty the Emperor is much better than him."
Lavinia could only remain silent.
She was born into the Bologna family, which is considered to be of noble birth. However, due to the influence of the industrial age and the unremitting selling of official positions and titles by European monarchs of all generations, the gap between the nobility has long become greater than the gap between pigs and humans.
Most of the royal secrets sounded like heavenly books to her.
But she did know something about the old Emperor Franz's ability as a father.
After all, the Apennine Peninsula has been the back garden of the Habsburg family for quite a long time. The suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf for love caused an uproar in Turin.
"Niya, I miss the days in Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, and I also miss His Majesty the Emperor. My father always said that His Majesty's kindness to me was all fake and ill-intentioned, but do I have any other relatives to miss and rely on?"
Miss Judge reached out her hand, put it around Viviana’s shoulders, and sighed softly.
The Candle Knight who is shining brightly outside is actually just a little girl who lacks love.
"It's okay. We are here. If you feel depressed in the future, you can always come to me. Losa always says that we are very similar. Although I think he is average at judging people, I find that we are actually quite compatible."
In the distance, someone was running towards them.
He stopped in front of Cherinina who was about to enter the Wolf Pack Hall and muttered to himself for a while.
Then, Cherinina came flying like the wind and said solemnly, "Ms. Viviana, there is a group of cavalry outside. They claim to be escorting Crown Prince Ruprecht and hope to meet with the Candle Knight."
