"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
"Hahahaha, you look like you've lost a lot of weight from hunger. You didn't eat on the way here, okay? It's almost time for lunch, so you can stay and eat with me, and tell me about the dragon by the way.
"By the way, did you go see Queen Heloise just now? No matter what bad things she said about me in front of you, don't believe it.
"There's something wrong with that woman's brain. She knows how to play with her broken flowers all day long, and it's art to open and close her mouth. I don't know if all elves are like this.
"I was just deceived by her face. If I had known this, I shouldn't have married her back then."
"No, Queen Heloise told me that you performed very bravely when hunting." After the female lord finished speaking, she found that His Majesty the Emperor in front of her was staring straight at her.
"That woman really said that to you?"
"That's right."
"You're lying. Every time I go hunting and ask her to accompany me, she makes all kinds of excuses, such as the elves are the children of the forest and can't bear to see the forest bleeding. But when I bring back wild boar from hunting, I don't see any.
She took one less bite.
"Forget it, let's not mention that disappointing woman." Edward II waved his hand.
"I heard you brought me a gift?"
"Well, that's right. You gave me your sword as a gift, and I also brought you some souvenirs from the Western Region."
"Oh, bring it up quickly and show it to me."
As the emperor spoke, he walked to the door and shouted again, "Where are you, bring Sir Ilea's gift."
"Your Majesty, we haven't opened the box for inspection yet," the royal guard said.
"Is there anything to investigate? Sir Ilea is a hero of the empire, and she is not a suspicious person. Please bring me the things quickly."
Within a short time, the two boxes brought by the female lord were placed in front of Edward II. One of them was slightly smaller and could be brought by a guard of the royal forest, while the other box was much larger.
It took six people to lift it.
The female lord first opened the small box and took out a stack of white paper, "This is weekend break... uh, the best-selling product in my territory now."
"Is this paper?" Edward II took it and played with it for a while, and soon discovered that this kind of paper was unusual.
"Such a sturdy papyrus?"
"No, Mei... We have used new formulas and technologies to allow this paper to be stored for a longer period of time, and can be folded repeatedly for easy portability."
"It's interesting." The emperor commented, "If it's really useful, I'll have people go to your territory to buy more."
It can be seen that he is somewhat interested in the white papers in his hand, but not very interested.
However, the first gift was just an appetizer, and Ilea brought it out mainly to help Shuangxiujiao develop a market in the royal capital.
Although Li Yu's white paper is currently not worried about being sold in the Western Region, there are some things that might as well be prepared for a rainy day. The most important thing is to get the endorsement of the emperor in front of him to prevent some people in the royal capital from trying to get this property again.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, the female lord quickly opened the second box.
When he saw what was inside clearly, Edward II's eyes suddenly lit up and his breathing became rapid, "This is..."
"That black dragon's skull, I brought it from the Western Region and dedicated it to you!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" His Majesty the Emperor said five good words in a row, and then circled around the huge dragon head.
He reached out and knocked on the keel and said, "What a ferocious beast. With the hardness of its bones and these fangs, it must have been extremely ferocious during its lifetime. It was definitely the top predator on this continent."
"What does that stupid woman Heloise know? This is a fucking piece of art, a unique piece of art, the prey that every outstanding hunter wants to challenge!"
Edward stroked the dragon skull with a look of intoxication on his face.
After a moment, he opened his eyes again and looked at the female lord with bright eyes.
"And you, my knight, have done what all of us have failed to do. I can't wait to see you show off your skills in the tourney.
"Uh..." Miss Rabbit felt that she couldn't delay it any longer, otherwise the misunderstanding would get deeper and deeper.
So she said bravely, "Your Majesty, I need to clarify something for you."
"whats the matter?"
"I'm actually not as powerful as you think. In fact, it took a lot of people to kill the dragon that night.
"In addition to the warriors of the Arias family, there is also the helping hand of Sir Ferdinand of the Bathory family. In addition, the most important thing is that we also received some special... help."
"I didn't contribute that much. I played more of a commander's role. I only joined everyone in the final charge."
The female lord finished speaking in one breath and felt a sense of relief.
This is the case with many things. When you keep worrying about gains and losses in your heart, it will make you feel much more relaxed if you talk about it.
And the most important thing is that there is no need to worry anymore.
The worst thing that could happen is that she loses her title, and Miss Rabbit also has the sword that His Majesty the Emperor gave her with her, and is about to take it off and return it to Edward II.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the latter spoke again, "Humility is one of the important virtues of a knight. You are indeed the person I like. You really have both ability and political integrity. You are very good, Ilea, you are really very good."
The emperor patted the female lord on the shoulder and praised her.
"This is what a true hero should do, he knows how to share his honor with others, and when a crisis comes, he will step forward without hesitation and turn the tide."
The female lord was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, and almost blurted out, "Did you not hear what I was saying at all just now?"
Edward II then winked at the girl again, that means, how could you possibly hide it from me?
Seeing that Ilea was still a little confused, the emperor decided to remind her a little, "Yesterday afternoon, outside the camp of the Second Knights, did you encounter three young people who were not good-looking?"
"ah?!"
"Those bastard boys are in need of punishment. They all rely on their good background, have higher ambitions, and are pretentious. But then again, they still have something real on their hands.
"The training of the Royal Knights is very strict. Even if some people get in based on their family background, they won't be able to last for a few days. Those who can complete the training are not bad at all, and there are three of them."
"The problem is that I didn't hit three, either?" Ilea blurted out.
"Because I know that the remaining two escaped." Edward II said proudly, "Although I don't leave the King's Landing Tower very often, nothing happening outside can escape my ears."
"They said that you only took a few breaths to deal with the first challenger, and beat him to the point where he knelt down and begged for mercy. You are more powerful than I thought."
"No, I didn't!" Miss Rabbit was so anxious that she almost jumped up.
"Hey, Sir Ilea, just be humble. There are no outsiders in this place. Who are you acting for? We are all warriors. Don't imitate those scholars and poets who speak in convoluted ways. It's boring.
