The accident happened so quickly that the two children were at a loss and didn't even know what to do.
They also discovered that acquaintances of the Knights were hiding near the door of their home that was surrounded by flames.
The two of them were condescending and could see the handsome figures hidden by the firelight. Will, who had sharp eyes, directly recognized a few people - they were all regulars of the Knights, standing nearby wearing armor and looking serious.
When Will wanted to seek advice and seek protection from the Knights with his sister, he received the opposite opinion.
"... Something's wrong." Kangna tried her best to lower her voice. "They are trying to defend themselves against a powerful enemy. Our rash actions may have interfered with their plans."
Their home is located in the living area of the city and is the safest place in the city. If it was just an ordinary fire, there would be no need to make such a big fanfare and dispatch so many elite knights.
Connor knew very well how the Knights acted, and with her, Will would not dare to act rashly.
"Then what are we going to do?"
"I'll go around to the back door and see what's different." Kangna pointed to the building next to her. "You have to be careful and don't run too far. I'll meet you when I come back. If there is really a danger that cannot be dealt with, what? Don’t worry about it, just call for help!”
Will nodded in agreement, and after his sister walked away, he quietly left the room and approached the direction where the Knights were stationed.
He didn't want to attract attention casually, nor did he want to do nothing and just wait for his sister to get the news.
There are also people from the Knights here. Their silhouettes often move around and overlap, and their silhouettes seem to be communicating with each other, which means that if you get close to them appropriately, you may be able to obtain information.
Information about the current situation.
Will approached the wall of the next door house and held his breath, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two knights.
"...He hasn't been found yet?"
"The captain seems to have said before that little Kangna trains outside the city every day and wants to join the Knights."
"What about Will?"
While squatting nearby, they were also sending people to look for Kangna and themselves?
Will continued to digest the information contained in these conversations, but before he could make up his mind, another conversation left him stunned.
"Maybe now, it's a good thing that I can't find it..."
The knight who spoke at first moved, revealing most of his body.
Even though he didn't often interact with people from the Knights, and his voice sounded dull under his armor, Will could still recognize him from his body shape. He was a knight who had a close personal relationship with his father. He was his father's deputy and often came to his home for dinner.
According to his father, this man's strength is almost the same as him.
"How could you say that?" scolded another.
The deputy team member leaned against the wall, feeling a little sad, "In this situation, even if we keep the two siblings in the Knights, we are not sure we can keep them. If they can fly far away, maybe go to the royal capital..."
"Isn't there everyone else..."
Although he tried hard to argue, the person he was talking to gradually lost his confidence.
Will found that the imagined situation was getting more and more embarrassing, and his heart was beating like a drum. But he didn't dare to neglect and was ready to return to the place agreed with his sister as soon as possible.
Kangna came back earlier than he expected, and was even waiting under the roof they climbed up to.
After hearing the news, Will was just about to formulate something to say when he saw his sister's face turned pale, even reflected in the distant firelight, as if she was unconscious.
"What's wrong?"
"We need to leave immediately." When Kangna saw her brother grasping at straws, she rushed over and held his shoulders, "Leave the city now!"
The sister's strength was unexpectedly strong, and the sudden lack of weight on her hand made it difficult for Will to breathe for a moment. If it weren't for the wall behind him, he would have even fallen to the ground, but he still nodded desperately.
He also observed that Kangna seemed to be deliberately suppressing some emotions. As the two of them left in a hurry, they would look at him from time to time halfway, as if they were hesitant to speak.
The two men took the swords obtained from the knights and left through a remote path.
After arriving at the city gate, Will and Kangna heard the sound, hid in the corner of the city wall, and saw a group of cavalry that they had never seen before.
Dressed in black, with black cloth covering their eyes, they rode dark-colored horses and broke into the unguarded city gate like ghosts - I don't know when, all the original guards at the city gate disappeared.
After witnessing some exchanges between the black-clothed cavalry, who seemed to be preparing to separate and climb the city wall, the two of them had no time to hesitate.
There happened to be two avenues heading out of the city to the royal capital.
They didn't know where the foreign cavalry in black came from and which path they should choose.
"Sister, let's go separately!" Will suggested urgently without having time to relay what he heard, "As long as one person goes straight to the capital and reports the matter to Her Majesty the Queen, the knights will be able to get support. If the other one encounters someone else, The cavalry can also escape without any burden and finally meet up in the capital!"
As the sons of conscientious knight captains, both children have a strong sense of responsibility for the safety of the city.
The influence of tutors and parents also gave them unconditional admiration and trust in the queen.
"good."
Kangna didn't ask for too much explanation. She just took a deep look at her brother and said a few words before leaving.
Will chose a relatively far road, but it was sparsely populated and should be safer.
He arrived at the royal capital on foot in two days. Using the sword he carried with him and the local knights' sword engraved with the kingdom's seal as a link, he found a royal knight with whom he could communicate directly and met with the queen.
"Nova City."
Mogan looked focused, tapped the window edge with his fingertips, and slowly said the last place name.
"You are Will Mirandi from Nova City, the son of the Knight Captain. This is exactly the complete story you told Her Majesty the Queen yourself. So, Frank...or Will, what are you doing for? Leaving the Earl's Villa arranged by the Queen for you without authorization and running to such a remote place?"
"I……"
Will opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"The count is not treating you well, or are you unable to adapt to the rural environment?" Morgan looked into his eyes, "If I knew nothing, I might choose one of the two. But you are different, 'Frank' is a A hard-working and considerate kid, I can see that.”
"None of them!" Will hurriedly denied, "The count treats me very well, and the environment is also very good and safe. I just, just want to come out on my own..."
Morgan raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell the truth."
He could tell at a glance that the child wanted to lie.
"Kanna also said something before we parted." Will took a deep breath, "'If Her Majesty the Queen can't solve the problem, we will meet at the Sea of Miracle Flowers, where there may be the answer we want.'"
Morgan was stunned for a moment.
This sentence is really not suitable for repeating, after all, it puts the Queen in a failed position of "unable to solve the problem". The two didn't have time to exchange their experiences, so Will naturally didn't know what the words really meant, so he could only take it literally.
Is it simply questioning the Queen's ability, or is it a more extreme result - doubting the Queen's position?
Will stayed in the earl's villa in the countryside for a long time with the retired earl who was retiring quietly, but he never waited for his sister's arrival or any relevant clues. This sentence became more and more intense in his mind.
So he took some of the bounty that Her Majesty the Queen had previously given and set off lightly.
But having grown up in the city, Will obviously didn't understand some of the worldly things during the journey. After traveling for more than ten days, he became increasingly vigilant and was defrauded of all his money, and finally ended up in poverty. Lightsman Mountain, coming to the vicinity of Port St. Ron.
He almost became dizzy and became the little thief he usually least wanted to be. Recalling those days, Will felt like he had been under some strange spell.
The port is a place where people gather, and everyone needs to take advantage of it.
The Queen asked him to remain anonymous and change his name to "Frank" first. Will did not dare to reveal his true name and identity at will, but he had been looking forward to waiting until his sister would join him here.
Until the day before yesterday.
After hearing the cause and effect of these things, Mo Gan still had something to ask.
"You are the son of the knight captain of Nova City, so do you know the name Albert Talanik?"
Not only did he undertake the task of helping Her Majesty the Queen find the siblings, this unusually subtle and completely unexpected strange connection was also the most important reason why Mogan became more and more involved in investigating the whole story.
Duke Albert Talanick was the man he was trying to seize the funds from.
Nova City is exactly that unlucky city. It is one of the most prosperous cities in the Kingdom of Cole, but it has been manipulated by the people behind the puppet duke, and countless high-ranking officials have been infiltrated.
Compared with other important families that were completely wiped out and no one survived, the Mirandi siblings may be considered a group of both lucky and unfortunate victims.
