After hearing this, several people didn't understand why the competition held by the king was related to a female captive.

"Because, the strongest person in this competition will win this woman! Think about it, she is the fiancée of the eldest prince of the Principality of Jean! The future queen of the Principality of Jean!"

"..."

"..."

Anlis told the reason in a cowardly manner, and Gervais and others on the opposite side looked at each other in confusion. What did King Hayden want to do? Is he using a method to insult the royal family of the Principality of Jean? This is too childish.

"Are you wondering why the king did this? Very few people know this news, but I'm telling you now, don't tell it!"

When saying this, Anlis lowered his voice.

"A few days ago, the king of the Principality of Zeon sent a messenger saying that he was willing to exchange the captured vassals for Caroline. However, after losing so many war horses in White Rock City, how could His Majesty agree? Your Majesty asked the Principality of Jean to stop the invasion. In this way,

Only then will Caroline be released, and as for the vassals, they will be redeemed with gold coins as per previous years."

"As a result, the king of the Principality of Zeon refused to agree, and even used a trick to capture Maiye City and march towards the royal city. Therefore, in order to show his determination to fight to the death with the Principality of Zeon, whoever can win the competition will win the competition.

You can reach the future queen of the Principality of Zeon!"

As expected, Anlis was well-informed and even knew such secrets. Gervais estimated that Anlis had heard all this information from his uncle, the financial officer.

"Hey! Isn't that Caroline beautiful?"

After hearing the cause and effect, everyone present was eager to get started. No matter what Caroline looked like, the reputation of the future queen of the Principality of Jean was enough to make these people eager to try.

If you really win this competition and win the beauty, it will definitely become famous throughout the principality, and it may not even spread to the other two principalities.

For these aristocratic young people, fame and beauty are their life pursuits.

"I've never seen what that Caroline looks like, but think about it, the fiancee of the eldest prince of the Principality of Jean, a young lady from the Earl family, how bad can she be?"

Anlis shook his head and said that he had never met Caroline.

"Then I will also participate the day after tomorrow! Hehe!"

Although they didn't know what Caroline looked like, several people agreed with what Anlis said later. No matter how bad a noble lady from the earl family could be, she couldn't be any worse.

Only Gervais on the side was a little speechless. It was true that Caroline's misfortunes never come singly. King Hayden actually came up with this bad idea.

This has a huge blow to the face of the eldest prince and the Principality of Jean, and it also does greater harm to Caroline!

"Do you want to take part in this competition?"

Gervais is now in a dilemma.

Participate if you can!

Then his identity is fake. When he goes on stage in public, there is no guarantee that anyone who knows the Potter family will be involved, and he might even be involved.

If you don’t participate!

That woman, Caroline, would be in dire straits. Even if her life was still safe after the incident, her dream of becoming a queen would definitely be shattered.

…

Two days later, the square outside Hayden Palace was filled with people.

This square occupies a very large area and can accommodate 20,000 people to gather together. It is used to hold various celebrations in the principality. Civilians are not allowed to enter here under normal circumstances, and the same is true today.

Those who can come here today are all nobles or heirs of nobles.

Anlis' news was very accurate. Gervais and others did receive the herald's notice yesterday morning.

King Hayden will hold a youth competition in the square in front of the palace. As long as the unmarried heirs of the principality's nobles can participate, the one with the best score in the competition will win Caroline.

In addition to Caroline, there are also awards of knighthood.

The first place will receive the title of Viscount, and the remaining top ten will receive the title of Baron.

Of course, this title does not have a fiefdom, it is an honorary title, but it is also a huge attraction for the young people of the Principality of Alban.

Whether the second son or the eldest son of the family obtains this title, there are many benefits.

So this morning the square in front of the palace was already crowded, and all the young nobles rushed here, ready to try their skills.

Purple colorful flags were flying in every corner of the square, and Gervais and the six of them, Ted, also came to the square.

"Hey, Gervais, do you think that if we win first place, do we have to marry that Caroline? I'm afraid I can't afford to support the eldest lady of the Earl family."

Ted's look is a bit showy today. The original old leather armor has been refurbished. The iron pieces inlaid on the leather armor must have been polished to a shiny finish after a lot of effort was spent last night.

Moreover, he was holding a waist-high square shield in his hand. Gervais had never seen it a few days ago, so he must have borrowed it from somewhere.

However, the quality of this square shield should be good. The whole shield is made of iron bars as the skeleton. In order to reduce the weight, although the middle is covered with wood, both sides of the wood are wrapped with thick iron sheets.

This square shield alone weighs dozens of kilograms and can withstand even the chops of a titled knight.

"Of course it's difficult to make a living. The jewelry used by the countess is all made of pure gold and inlaid with various precious gems. A good set can be enough to pay the baron's tax for several years."

Anlis on the side was even more coquettish. He wore a full-body armor. This full-body armor was silver-white, with brass inlays and forged patterns, plus a fiery red cloak. This appearance directly outshined Gervais and the other six.

, although there are no strengthening runes engraved on it, the shape is definitely cool.

After hearing Ted's question, Anlis jumped in without waiting for Gervais to answer.

"However, the king did not say that he must marry this Caroline, hehehe! You know it!"

"Oh, we definitely can't compete with you. Come on, Anlis! It's up to you to compete for Caroline. We are only going to compete for one title."

Although they are all heirs of the family, if they compete for this title, they can give it to their brothers when the time comes. This is allowed by aristocratic law.

"Pfft~"

"You country bumpkins, I really thought you were from the countryside! You still want to take advantage of Caroline and the title!"

Just as Ted and the others were discussing happily, a sneer suddenly came from beside them.

"Who are you scolding?"

Although Traed is honest and honest, he is also straight-tempered. When he hears someone's sarcastic words, he immediately blushes and fights back.

I saw Gervais and the others arriving at some unknown time two meters away from five young men. Each of them was wearing full body armor.

Moreover, their full-body armor is different from that of Anlis, and the style is more beautiful and exquisite. At first glance, it looks like it was forged by a master blacksmith.

In addition, one or two strengthening runes are engraved on their armor. Although there are only one or two, they also represent strength and status.

"The country bumpkins are scolding you, what's wrong? You don't know your own abilities!"

The young man obviously didn't expect that these people would dare to reply. He looked over with interest and replied with a provocative face.

"Tred, forget it, those two are the heirs of the Kenny family and the Baisang family!"

Seeing that the two sides were about to have a conflict, Anlis quickly grabbed Trede, and then whispered something in his ear to persuade him.

These two are one of the six count families in the Duchy of Alban.

The earl family is indeed not something they, the little heirs of barons, can mess with.

Anlis was well-informed and knew the identity of the other party, and immediately had no intention of quarreling with them.

This is not timidity, but the rules of this world. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.

After hearing what Anlis said, although Ted's face was still red, he was not a brainless person. He finally endured it and did not continue to speak, but just turned his face to the side.

This made Gervais look at him with admiration.

Woohoo~

At this moment, the sound of a horn came from the palace wall, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"His Majesty the King has arrived!"
Chapter completed!
