Chapter 315 The Ending of Mrs. Ada(1/2)
Roger thought Boschymond would be angry at hearing someone talking about his father being captured.
However, Bosimund's brain circuit is different from that of Roger.
He said proudly: "Only heroes like my father are worth so much ransom.
"You think everyone is like you, only worth 50 pounds of gold."
Roger, who was eavesdropping outside the caravan, realized that his way of thinking might be too oriental.
He thought of the fact that when Count William was captured by him, he once mentioned that he should not pay the ransom too low.
It seems that for Westerners, it is not a bad or shameful thing to have to pay for themselves after being captured.
For those with status, it is an insult to paying too low a ransom.
Alice smiled and said, "I'm not cheap either, at least worth 50 pounds of gold."
"What about you, how much can you be worth?"
Bosimmond said proudly: "Of course I'm not cheap.
"I have accepted the enthronement of the new Prince Antioch by John, the deputy emperor of Eastern Rome. How much do you think I am worth?"
"Wow, it turns out you are the prince."
"Of course, my father is the prince, so I am the prince."
"Then my father is an earl, why am I not an earl?"
"Because you are a woman."
"Can't women be counts?"
"That's not necessarily true, but it's more of a countess."
"Must be a countess? Can't you be the prince's wife?"
"Then you have to find a prince first and then marry him."
"So that's it, that, do you think I'm suitable to be the prince's wife?"
......
Next, Roger heard a lot of words of love and affection, and finally heard the sound of kissing, and he took back his sensitive ears.
Back at Tassus, Roger accompanied Boschmond Little and sent Alice to his father Baldwin.
Alice's mother shed tears excitedly, held Alice in her arms, and then took her into the inner room.
Before entering the door, Alice turned around and looked at Little Bosimund, who had been looking at her reluctantly.
Then, Baldwin accompanied Roger to the market with gratitude and negotiated with the merchants about the distribution of war horses.
Roger was very proud. This "business trip" made him full of rewards.
He got the right to buy 300 war horses as he wished.
And there are also 50 pounds of gold seized as funds for horse purchase.
The money was seized by Roger's men from the pirates, and he could use it with confidence.
As for whether we should share a part with the leader of this operation?
Roger glanced at the absent-minded little Bosimmond and asked casually:
"After the seizure, your part is considered part of the commission, is that OK?"
Xiao Boximond said "ah" and asked as if he had just woken up, "What? Uncle, what did you say?"
"Just ask if you can?"
"What?"
"If you don't say it, I will just pretend you agree."
"Ah, oh, okay, then uncle, please do whatever you want."
Baldwin, Earl of Edsa, left quickly after buying the horse.
Roger accompanied Little Bosimund to the city gate to send him off.
He could see that his nephew was obviously in love.
Roger can only hehe.
He would not object. In this era, marriage is generally early, and there is no saying that there is a premature love.
He was not qualified to object, and this happened in this world when he was at the age of Boschmond.
He hasn't forgotten Angelica until now.
What's more, Roger thinks that Boschmond and Alice are quite compatible.
Although the prince married the second daughter of the earl as his wife, he was a little out of grade.
But considering the geographical environment in which Edsaber and Antioch's Principality are mutually in a way that makes it reasonable to strengthen the ties between the two sides.
But Roger knew that children's emotions change quickly. They liked them today and might forget them tomorrow.
So he didn't feel at ease with this matter.
In contrast, he was more concerned about the state of his soldiers.
Back at the house, Danny came to report to Roger, and he said:
“Living in a house with tiles is much more comfortable than living in a tent.
“The morale of the soldiers is very high.
"The wounded soldiers have also recovered well, and the recovered people have returned to the team.
"It is the cavalry who have newly obtained horses, who are still adapting to their war horses."
Shana teased from the side: "Danny, you said you would become a commander-in-law. Look, you don't even have a swordsman now."
At this time, Odin, who was on duty, came to report, and he said:
"Captain, Prince Toros invites you to his palace and says something urgent is happening."
So Roger brought Henk and several personal guards to Tassus's main castle.
After entering the hall, Roger saw two acquaintances.
Duke Welf and Count William.
And several jazz and guards whom he had seen but could not remember the names.
But he didn't see Mrs. Aida who had been with Welf and William.
Duke Welf and Count William both looked very bad.
One is like a candle in the wind, and the other is like a deserted refugee.
They were wearing valuable clothes that were obviously Armenian.
Obviously, this was given to them by Prince Toros, who was full of pity on his face.
These people were eating wine and food voraciously.
Roger did not interfere with them, he found a seat to sit down and watched silently.
After they could no longer eat, and after another glass of wine, Duke Welf and Earl William, the two of them, intermittently, supplemented each other and described the story.
Duke Welf said: "We finally chose to go to Heracria City.
“When we were halfway through, there was a riot in the army.
"There are some mud legs that robbed our wine completely regardless of their superiority and inferiority.
"The cavalry were stopping them, but later, they joined the robbery.
"Almost in a moment, the wine was gone, so we were in a dilemma of no water or wine."
Duke Welf said as he began to roar: "It's all those mud legs that don't know the magnanimity that have caused us to fall into trouble."
William and several other jazz also agreed: "Yes, those people should go to hell."
Roger's expression remained unchanged, but he was slandering in his heart.
He thought, when did you nobles who only know their enjoyment treat those 100,000 followers walking as human beings?
When living in luxurious tents, you won’t think about whether followers can only lie on the open-air mud.
When you have wine to drink, you won’t consider whether those followers have been tortured by thirst for a long time.
What does it mean to "make you fall into trouble?" When you still have wine, those followers outside may have already struggled on the verge of life and death.
Those cavalry may not be able to hold on.
In this case, who cares about the superiority and inferiority?
After complaining for a while, Duke Welf continued:
“We have suffered severe thirst, and all people, both humans and livestock, have become weakened by their inability to bear the thirst.
To be continued...
