Another world, Banshee Castle. The core city of the Butch family.
This is a city built on the edge of a mountain range. The city wall divides it into two parts: the inner and outer parts. Inside the city are nobles and wealthy businessmen, and outside the city are civilians and farmers.
The city is so large that it blocks the road from the north to the south. Countless merchants need to pay business taxes here, which makes the family extremely wealthy.
Within fifty kilometers around the Banshee Castle, there are farmland and water conservancy projects that took hundreds of years to cultivate, which is quite rare in the North. Relying on the relatively abundant food, the Butch family has a very strong voice in the North.
With money and food, Banshee Castle's territory, population, nobles, and army are all greater than those of Cold Wind City, which is close to the Black Forest.
As long as they occupy a few more cities to expand their scale, the Butchi family can become a principality, and the family patriarch can become a king.
Inisa stood on the wizard's tower in the city, overlooking the city square not far away. The square was large and beautiful, and there was a market every three days. There was also an execution function in the corner.
Just next to several stalls selling fruit, the executioner was pulling up the guillotine. The stout soldier pressed the struggling guy under the guillotine.
The citizens in the square are used to this, and only a few people watch. Should most of the citizens do business or business? At most, they ask each other who is the person who is going to be executed?
"It's a messenger sent by the Lehman family in Cold Wind City."
Knight Naser appeared behind the princess and reported back: "The Butcher family's harassment strategy did not work. Instead, it gave Victor the opportunity to clear out the powerful people in Cold Wind City. He completely controlled the city and had greater power than any previous family.
"
The princess rolled her eyes and sighed lonely: "Why should the messenger be executed?"
The old knight also sighed, "According to the news from the businessman, Victor launched a strong attack half a month ago, an unexpected but overwhelming attack.
The Allard family was finished, and the Lehman and Mills families escaped from Cold Wind City. They hoped to get the same treatment as the Long-Legs family in Banshee Castle. But Phils Long-Legs strongly opposed it.
The Buchi family also felt that the defeated people were too useless and did not accept their surrender. They sent a force of thousands of people to attack north.
The troops are led by Baron Bishop and assisted by Lord Exon of the Longlegs family. They plan to first kill the nobles of Coldwind City who escaped, and then defeat Victor Hugo."
Hearing the familiar name, Inisa felt a little confused. It had been a year since she left the Black Forest, and she had almost forgotten the man's face.
But the other party's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached a point that cannot be ignored.
There were many people standing behind the princess. There were wizards, knights, and priests. They were all nobles and exiles from the Principality of Os.
The principality was occupied by rebels, and the royal family was mercilessly massacred. But a emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. After all, the principality of Os was a country with a population of one million and more than a dozen cities.
Zhou Qingfeng had to fight to the death in Cold Wind City to gain a certain degree of power. Inisa showed her princess flag, and countless relics from the principality brought their own food and territory to join her.
In the past year, the princess's power relied on the Banshee Castle to fight several battles with the rebellion in the south, with both sides winning and losing without falling behind at all.
This allowed more Aus nobles to recognize Inisa's identity, and more people joined her.
People in the North regard Ynessa and Victor as two newly rising forces, and bards are fabricating legendary stories about them. Especially since they are a boy and a girl and are still very young, rumors and rumors continue.
.
The greater the reputation of Her Royal Highness, the more people will pay attention to her.
Over the past year, there has been an endless stream of people proposing to her. At first, they were just ordinary little knights and little lords. They felt that there was nothing special about people who had lost their country. Although there was no dowry for marrying a princess, she still had fame and good looks.
But as Inisha's power grows, the powerful people in the North are more and more interested in her. The status of her suitors has also increased, ranging from high lords to high-ranking nobles. Recently, I heard that the Butch family is also very interested in her.
interesting.
The merger of territories through marriage is common throughout Faerûn. The nobles make no secret of their coveting of the Principality of Os, hoping to easily annex it through the transfer of inheritance rights.
The elders and children of the Principality of Os also believe that it is urgent to choose a suitable partner for the princess. They are openly discussing the property, territory, power, and family genealogy of a certain suitor, and are actively seeking matchmaking with Innis.
Of course, Victor Hugo's name is not included in this. This is because the 'monster from the Black Forest' has no noble status and may be killed by the Butchi family at any time.
Inisa was uneasy about the proposal. She just wanted to return to her country and avenge her family and relatives. His only thought when he woke up every day was how to kill all the rebels who destroyed her family.
As for marriage, she doesn't want it at all.
perhaps......
She once thought about it, but the person who walked into her heart seemed to be getting more and more distant.
Victor Hugo massacred the nobles, despised the church, stripped away privileges, treated businessmen and civilians well, popularized knowledge, and promoted a large number of low-level officials to officials.
All this is completely contrary to the current system.
Inisa admired Victor Hugo's talents very much. She was in an extremely depressed state in Harmony Village, but she also implemented his policies. Her life at that time was really simple and happy.
But when she came to the Banshee Castle, when the legacy of her motherland surrounded her, and when Inessa once again became the princess respected by everyone, she felt that the policies implemented by Victor were too extreme.
The superior person does not act like the superior person and fails to distinguish himself from the inferior person.
even......
Victor is very similar to the rebels who overthrew the Principality of Os.
Two young men and women met in the wild, but they were like intersecting lines. Their fates were once intertwined, but after they separated, they drifted apart and could never look back.
Every time I think about this, I feel extremely sad.
"Your Highness, Baron Bishop would like to see you?" An attendant walked up to Inisha.
Bishop?
A picture of an arrogant middle-aged man appeared in Inisa's mind. The man had recently tried to pursue her, and would come to flatter her whenever he had the chance. She couldn't help but not because the man's status was not low.
After a while, Baron Bishop appeared in a fancy dress, like a courtesan. He wore pointed boots, tight pants, lace cuffs, a rapier hanging from his waist, and was powdered.
The baron did not come alone. There was a rumble of footsteps behind him, followed by a group of nobles with high status. These were all officers who were about to go on an expedition with him and were about to wipe out the rebels in the north.
Seeing the luxuriously dressed Princess Aos, a group of men showed their fascination.
Even if Inisa ordered with a straight face, ‘Stop, don’t get too close to me,’ they still deeply liked this cold nobility. No matter how beautiful other women are, they don’t have this taste!
Baron Bishop came within three meters of Inisha, and the strong smell of powder made people cover their noses. He knelt down on one knee and shouted with what he thought was affectionate: "My love, my beauty, the light of my life...
....”
Inisa felt like she was going to feel sick to her stomach. If she had any dissatisfaction with the nobles, one of them was the pretentious words. She shouted sternly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I am about to go on an expedition to eliminate evil, save suffering, and restore order in the world. I also want to defeat my biggest love rival, the boy named Victor Hugo.
I know that your heart belongs to Victor Hugo, but I am not discouraged, but more excited. I will prove to you who is the real man!"
The baron had learned an aria from somewhere, and the two short paragraphs were spoken in ups and downs, as if he were in a drama. Inisa was really bored by listening to it, and couldn't help but taunted: "Baron, what gave you the confidence to win?"
"It's you!" The baron in his forties raised his head like a young man, "My love for you makes me fearless. I hope to get your blessing."
vomit......
I really can't stand it.
