In the evening three days later, the huge ship slowly entered the port and moored in the harbor of Frauyton, the capital of Abil.

Yabil is located on the west bank of the Ripas continent, its territory extends to the Rosen Plain in the east, and the Bitus Canyon in the north. It has just won a battle in the south, and its territory will expand again. Its capital, Fran Eaton, is not only the national political, economic, cultural center and the most important transportation hub, but also a world-famous big city.

Even on a night covered by dark clouds and the moon, the sky of Fran Eaton will be golden with brilliant fireworks and city lights. Darkness can never cover its brilliance, so it is also praised by the world as "the city where the eternal sun never sets".

Before getting off the boat, Ye Miao had already changed into Yabil's characteristic tunic dress, which was off-white, with a royal blue shawl on her shoulders. Going to the countryside to do as the Romans does is one of the etiquettes when traveling to other countries. Moreover, the temperature in Yabil is lower than that in Kadan, and staying outside after the sun goes down will still feel a bit bleak and cool. Such layers of clothes are also suitable.

Several knights in silver armor who came to meet her were already waiting at the port.

When they saw Ye Miao, they were obviously a little dazed.

It's not that they don't know that Princess Kadan, who came from afar this time, has an oriental appearance, but because of the difference in victory and defeat, they will be somewhat contemptuous and displeasing to this princess. Unexpectedly, this princess is far more beautiful and noble than they imagined, and her posture is also graceful. A dozen face-to-face meetings made them feel a little embarrassed for themselves who held prejudices early on.

The leading knight was the first to come to his senses, stepped forward and kissed Ye Miao's hand, and said politely: "Your Highness, I am Matthew Hurosse, the Knight Commander of the Holy See who came to greet you at the Queen's order. ,this way please."

Huloss? What a mouthful of a surname, it's better to call it a carrot - Ye Miao thought of such a slander, suddenly felt a little funny, relaxed her tense mood, and accepted his hand kiss with a smile.

Just behind the port, a row of soft-seat carriages with high bases has been parked. In front of each carriage, it is not the horses that are responsible for pulling it, but the slender and vigorous silver unicorns.

Compared with creatures such as mermaids and sea monsters, unicorns can be regarded as the most harmless alien species. Especially silver unicorns, they are a species that existed in the age of elves, and their nature is very pure and docile. They love clean and warm souls, and they also like to be close to children.

As the saying goes, positive and negative attract each other, the more clean and holy a creature is, the easier it is to attract the covetousness of demons and monsters. Therefore, in the perilous wilderness, unicorns are often the ones being preyed on, and it is difficult to survive on their own.

It was also the first time for Ye Miao to see a live silver unicorn. When she was looking at the smooth and smooth fur with amazed eyes, the flowing cloak on her body suddenly tightened, and the unicorn on the left grabbed a corner, Chewed.

Ye Miao: "..."

The knight commander's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward to free the corner of the cloak from its mouth. The unicorn didn't resist, opened its moist black eyes, and obediently let go. Obviously just for fun.

The knight commander explained: "Please forgive me, Your Highness. This unicorn has just grown up, and its self-control is not very good, but please believe that it has no malicious intentions. It should just like you, so it wants to play with you."

Ye Miao blinked in surprise, waved her hands and said "It's okay", and stroked its hair before boarding the carriage. The unicorn obediently let her touch it, very cooperative.

The convoy moved along the straight road, and the outline of Fran Eaton was enlarged inch by inch in Ye Miao's pupils. The city wall made of huge stones is 30 meters high and 8 meters thick. The two sides extend infinitely, and there is no end in sight. The heavy city gate slowly opened to both sides, and the carriage got into the entrance hole, and it was dark for a few seconds before "seeing the light again". After entering the city, the unicorn slowed down significantly, and a bustling and busy street scene spread out in front of Ye Miao's eyes.

Is this the place where she will stay for several years?

The spacious streets are paved with neat and flat stone bricks, and the houses with red tiles and white walls are scattered at different heights. The fireworks that rose into the air ignited the night of Fran Eaton, which was no less lively than the daytime. There are voices of conversation, hawking, snorting of horses, and grinding of wheels. Squads of soldiers with swords and shields patrol the streets. Elephants that are higher than the roof have ten or eight boxes of goods tied with ropes on their backs. The merchant sits on top of them and drives them with long sticks and passwords. In the corners and alleys, bards play the piano while flirting with a dark-skinned sexy girl, in exchange for a smiling cheek kiss...

A culture that is completely different from Cardin and exudes a charming style.

Ye Miao watched for a long time before leaning back in the seat, closing her eyes and resting her mind.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, it was completely dark.

The royal palace of Yabil is like a huge stone fortress, which is gorgeously sheltered, with deep layers and high outer walls. It is not too much to say that it is a small city.

The towering and thick stone pillars are engraved with exquisite patterns, and the golden crystal lamps are hung on the dome, which are dimmed by the shaking beads. There are many dark green plants planted in the courtyard, lush and lush, criss-crossing corridors lead to the atrium, and behind the atrium is a new palace, endless, it is simply a maze.

The knight commander handed Ye Miao to the head maid in the palace, and went to report to the queen.

Although it is impossible to predict the arrival time, Ye Miao also knows that they are a bit late, it is already past ten o'clock in the evening, even if the Queen has not rested yet, she will not receive the dusty outsiders at this time.

The head maid was a woman in her forties. She led Ye Miao through the eerie and quiet corridor to the rooms that had been prepared, and briefly introduced the distribution of the palace along the way.

The size of the room prepared for Ye Miao was comparable to her bedroom in Kadan. The interior is gorgeously decorated, with high ceilings, and beside the bed hung with dark red curtains, there is a tall and wide floor-to-ceiling window. Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a large semi-circular terrace hanging out, where you can see the lush vegetation in the courtyard. The whole room was cleaned very clean, and even the flowers in the vases were freshly picked.

Marge continues to serve as Ye Miao's personal maid. In addition, the head maid also specially assigned a little girl named Shana to help serve her. She will live with Marge in the servant's room. There is a small door in this room, which is connected to Ye Miao's room.

Rather than serving her, it would be better to say that he came to help monitor her movements...

Ye Miao was a little helpless, but it was inevitable, so she nodded and thanked her.

The head maid's face was a little slow, as if she was satisfied with Ye Miao's cooperation, she pointed to a mechanism on the small door, and said: "If you need anything, just ring the hand bell on the wall, and the person on the opposite side will You can hear it. You are new here, and you are not familiar with the palace, no matter where you go, it is best to bring Shana to guide you."

Ye Miao glanced at Shana who was standing aside, saying that she understood.

"Then, please rest well, Your Highness, you will have an audience with Her Majesty the Queen tomorrow morning." Before leaving, the head maid seemed to have thought of something, paused, and smiled slightly: "By the way, Your Highness, usually anywhere in the palace You can go there, except for the northernmost palace and tower, please don't rush."

Palaces and towers to the north?

Although it was an inadvertent reminder, it was fine if she didn't say it, but Ye Miao felt a little bit of doubt and curiosity when she said it, like a little bug scratching at the tip of her heart. For a moment, she also thought of the legend about the monster.

However, the head maid obviously had no intention of explaining. Ye Miao couldn't show anything, so she had to watch her leave.

As soon as the door was closed, only she and two maids were left in the huge palace.

After traveling and traveling for more than half a month, and being haunted by nightmares so that she didn't have a good rest, Ye Miao just wanted to sleep well tonight. After taking a quick shower, she threw herself onto the big soft bed.

Margot dimmed the oil lamp for her, and took Shanna to leave together.

Ye Miao was used to reading for a while before going to bed, leaning against the oil lamp, and only turned a few pages when she suddenly heard a very soft and sharp "cha" sound from the ceiling above her head. It seemed that something was crawling on it, and there was a screeching sound when the sharp nails dragged and scratched on the old wood.

Ye Miao has good hearing, raised her eyes sensitively, and frowned.

what sound? Mice wouldn't be nesting in the ceiling, would they?

Immediately, she straightened up, looked around the ceiling, made sure that there was no gap, and slept until midnight without any mice falling, before continuing to read in peace.

Half an hour later, sleepiness slowly invaded her eyelids. Ye Miao yawned, put the book beside the pillow, and lay down with her back facing the French windows.

The moon stepped out from behind the gloomy clouds, and the entire courtyard was sprinkled with a silvery glow. The dark gray tree shadows are speckled and sway in the wind. The window panes of the floor-to-ceiling windows were dimly projected on the ground, climbing up Ye Miao's unsuspecting back like a snake.

Ye Miao was already asleep, so naturally she didn't see it. Among those swaying gray shadows, at some point, there was an extraordinarily huge shadow, which huddled motionless in the corner of the window.

There is no protrusion on the outer wall of this room to step on, and a pale thing hangs quietly upside down in the corner of the window on the upper right. Its twisted and slender limbs were stuck to the stone wall, its abdomen was bulging, and it was covered in loose mud. Its crooked head was pressed forward against the glass, slightly deformed, and a sticky water stain leaked out. A pair of beadless eyes stared straight at the back of Ye Miao's head, as if she was listening to the sound of her blood rushing, and a hungry gasp came out of her throat.

Just when it finally couldn't hold back and wanted to climb down a few more inches, the faint candlelight from the oil lamp on the bed cabinet suddenly flickered, and the golden light flickered on the glass.

This weird thing seemed to be very afraid of light, so it let out a low howl unwillingly and resentfully, with an extremely sharp tail, and suddenly dodged and retreated behind the corner of the window.

The leaves stopped shaking, and this night, the illusion of tranquility and beauty was barely maintained, and was not torn apart by malicious minions. The lead-colored clouds quietly obscured the moonlight, Ye Miao was immersed in a sweet dream, she hadn't realized her situation, and was quietly drawn into the shadows of the buildings.

The next day, when Ye Miao woke up, it was already dawn. She rubbed her eyes, stretched herself, and found that the oil lamp on the bedside table had not been extinguished all night.

Perhaps because of entering the new environment, last night, even though the nightmare that kept recurring on the boat did not appear, she still felt that she did not sleep well.

In terms of perceiving danger, human beings do have a gift-like intuition. It's a pity that after waking up, people tend to regard the sense of threat that they perceive in the half-dream and half-awake as palpitations caused by excessive fatigue, and forget about it, so that they miss many opportunities to wake themselves up.

Ye Miao washed her face, walked out of the balcony and stretched her sore body.

Today is the day to meet the Queen, and Margot and Shanna got up early to dress her up. In the end, Ye Miao changed into a one-shoulder dress that was much more solemn than yesterday, and took off her cloak. Her long black hair was tied behind her ears with a bird-shaped headdress.

When Shana turned to leave, Marge approached Ye Miao's ear and whispered: "Your Highness, I chatted with her yesterday, it turns out that the palace and tower to the north are the palaces of the previous king and queen of Abil. It has been in ashes for many years now, and it has not been used for other purposes. It is said that in order to mourn for her deceased brother, the queen wanted to keep the palace as it was, so she ordered it to be sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will."

The previous king of Yabil died of an accidental illness in a battle fifteen years ago, leaving no heirs. According to the Yabil system, the princess and the prince had the same inheritance rights. The younger sister of the former king became the new ruler after being baptized by the Holy See, and has been sitting firmly on the throne until today.

It is normal to leave the palace as it is in memory of loved ones. But what makes Ye Miao feel a little weird is that the queen seems to have directly sealed off that place, and then ignored it, allowing it to fall into disrepair... completely contrary to the purpose of "preserving the traces of relatives' life".

Forget it, no matter what, this answer is much more reliable than her wild thinking yesterday.

Ye Miao took Lamargue's hand and told her to stop there and not to ask any more questions.

Anyway, she didn't intend to break into the forbidden area to find out what happened knowingly. The trivial curiosity has been satisfied, why bother to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, to delve into these things that have nothing to do with me?
