Hearing that the beautiful woman in front of him claimed to be Princess Catherine of Aleksand, Count Fuller did not dare to be careless. He immediately got off his horse and walked forward to perform a knight's salute.
The reason why Earl Fuller has such an attitude is because Catherine's mother is the cousin of Knight King Ryan of Batoria. When he was young, Earl Fuller met the sister of Knight King. It was really shocking.
people.
The Ekaterina in front of her is very similar to the sister of the Knight King back then, and her authenticity can basically be determined.
Second, he felt how powerful Ilosu was.
At this time, Ilosi had just stepped into the peak of the Holy Realm, and his own energy could not be well restrained. When he stood there, he was like an unsheathed sword, exuding power, making the gold-level Fuller
I felt great pressure.
This is also an important reason why he dare not make mistakes.
"It seems that this is a Holy Knight. Oh my god, he is so young and so talented." Count Fuller kept sighing in his heart. He was actually a little envious and jealous.
Third, he knew very well what kind of love Claire and Hughes were, and at this moment he had no idea of standing up for them.
So Earl Fuller no longer had any doubts and said respectfully:
"Your Highness, please forgive me for my rudeness. I, Fuller, as the Guardian Knight of the Empire, will definitely not let Your Highness suffer any injustice."
"It's nothing, it's just that your subordinates are too rude. They want to take me back to the military camp under the pretext of checking my identity. If I didn't have these loyal subordinates, I'm afraid my current situation would be extremely miserable.
.”
Although Ekaterina spoke in an understatement, her words contained accusations, which made Fuller immediately feel extremely angry towards Claire and Hughes.
"Someone, arrest Claire and Hughes, put them in a dungeon, and wait for their punishment."
After receiving the order, the knights immediately took off the weapons and armor of Claire who looked panicked, and tied him up.
"Where's that bastard Hughes? Why don't you see him?"
Fuller looked around but didn't see Hughes. In his mind, Hughes was the most heinous person. Claire was somewhat curable, but Hughes was completely hopeless. He just took this opportunity to eradicate Carcassonne.
This scourge.
Following Claire's revelation, the knights carried Hughes out of the tavern's fireplace, who was out of breath and out of breath.
Seeing the half-dead Hughes, Count Fuller disgustedly ordered his men to take him back and let him fend for himself.
"Your Highness, would you please come to my mansion to have a rest? Let me take care of you two and your retinue."
Although Fuller, as an earl, was not interested in politics, he also knew that Knight King Lane of Batoria must want to protect his niece. After all, Ekaterina's mother was His Majesty Lane's most beloved sister.
After sensing Ilosu's strength, Earl Fuller also showed great respect to Ilosu.
As a country that inherits the virtues of knights, they are not morally allowed to capture Ekaterina for the bounty. Of course, there are good people and scum everywhere.
"Then I will be disrespectful and I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Excellency."
Fuller performed another knightly salute and took Ekaterina and her party to the city lord's mansion.
The count's residence is not in the center of the small city of Carcassonne, but outside the city.
Fortunately, the town is not big and the Earl's residence is not far away. Everyone arrived at the Earl's residence very quickly.
"Your Highness the Princess and Your Excellency the Holy Knight, welcome to my simple little castle."
On the way, Earl Fuller already knew the origin of Ilosu and admired him greatly, even more enthusiastically than he did for Ekaterina. After all, in the kingdom of knights where martial arts prevailed, strength determined everything.
Count Fuller wanted to ask Iloth about the confusion in his practice and the method of promotion.
"It doesn't matter, I feel very good. After all, we have been sleeping rough on the road for a long time. Now having a house with a hot bath is considered heaven," said Ekaterina.
Earl Fuller looked at the sky and said: "It's lunch time. I've asked the chef to prepare some food. Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Paladin have come all the way. Let's try my chef's skills first! He made it
The pan-fried foie gras and smoked beef ribs are simply delicious!”
"Can you serve some light food? These subordinates have a relatively light diet." Yekaterina's words made the young people of the War Eagle clan feel warm and considerate of them. Her Royal Highness is really a careful person.
"Of course, I'll have someone prepare it right now."
Earl Fuller glanced at the guards of the War Eagle Clan. He had been paying attention to Eloise and Ekaterina along the way.
He discovered that although the equipment of these guards seemed to be extremely well-equipped, there were actually both men and women in the team. It seemed that there were only a few warriors, and the rest were more like armored spellcasters.
From the hairstyle and clothing style, they look more like barbarians in the Rocky Mountains. Could it be that these are druids? The druid who has disappeared for nearly a thousand years has actually become loyal to this princess?
However, Earl Fuller was not a particularly curious person. He knew that his position was not suitable for questioning, so he just made a mental note and led everyone into the castle without asking any more questions.
All the furnishings in the castle are heavy, simple and sturdy. There is a large red pine dining table in the dining room. The walls are not painted, and the huge bluestone is exposed. It is simply decorated with a few tapestries, swords and a huge bear head. A few branches of rosin
Torches provide dim lighting.
Catherine looked at everything in the hall calmly. It seemed that the count was not rich, she came to the conclusion.
He should be an upright knight and aristocrat, without a fish and meat village, otherwise the big men in the tavern would not dare to confront Claire's group of knights.
It's just that this knight doesn't know people well, hires people without checking them, and doesn't care about political affairs. Otherwise, how could he let people like Claire and Hughes dominate the market?
Catherine made a judgment about Count Fuller in her heart.
The cuisine of Batoria is much richer than that of Ableix. Even in Carcassonne, a remote count's castle, a wide variety of dishes can be prepared.
There are honey-glazed ham, smoked beef ribs, pan-fried foie gras, baked snails, and several types of vegetable salads and fruits provided to the guards of the War Eagle clan. There is also Batoria's special dish: blue
Patterned cheese.
There are also two types of wine. One is the specialty of Batoria: spirits, whiskey and wine.
There is even a dessert after the meal - milk pudding.
This made Ilosu and Ekaterina twitch their fingers. They had not eaten such delicious food for a long time. Everyone immediately turned into rice cooks.
Ekaterina was already seventy percent full at this moment. As the top royal noble, her deep-rooted etiquette prevented her from eating until her belly was full no matter how hungry she was. Seventy percent full was considered the limit.
After everyone had had enough wine and food, Earl Fuller finally spoke.
"Your Highness, why did you suddenly come to my remote territory? Is there anything you need me to do?"
"We were hunted and assassinated in Cyril, so we had no choice but to flee into the Rocky Mountains and came to Carcassonne. We plan to go to Colon and seek asylum from His Majesty Ryan. Do you have a magic communication array here? Can you?
Where's the news to Column that I'm seeking asylum?"
"Of course it's not a problem. I'll have my men summon Coulun in a moment."
So Earl Fuller immediately ordered his men to send the message to the imperial capital Coron through the magic communication array.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess, there will be results from Kou Lun's side soon."
While Count Fuller comforted Ekaterina, he asked Ilosu about cultivation issues. Ilosu also started to give some advice due to his warm hospitality.
The other knights and warriors of the War Eagle clan also pricked up their ears to listen. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to hear the paladin's instructions.
Not long after, Count Fuller's men returned to the restaurant and whispered the reply from Coulen to him.
At this moment, Count Fuller, who was listening to Ilosu's explanation but still had some unfinished business, couldn't help but report the news about Column to Ekaterina.
"Your Highness Princess, Your Majesty Ryan has learned about your arrival in Batoria. He will immediately mobilize the nearest Holy Grail Knights and Knights to escort you to Korun. However, mobilizing the army will take time. For your safety, during this period, the most important thing is to
It is better to wait in Carcassonne for the arrival of the Holy Grail Knight. We, the city defense army, should also protect you."
