"Oh?!" After hearing Link's answer, the head of the Pamper family finally relaxed a little bit from his tense body. He looked at Link with a hint of smile on his face.
He looked like he was smiling but not smiling: "I can't believe that Lord Link can be such a passionate young man!"
"Um...hehe..." Link rubbed his hands in embarrassment. He didn't say anything, he just kept giggling.
Of course Link now has a good impression of the little princess, but for Knight Link, who is really a bit underdeveloped in this area, it is really unclear to what extent this good feeling can affect him.
It's easy to talk about. After all, from the earliest little girl Elen to the current little princess, although Link seems to have a vague feeling more or less, he always seems to be missing such an eye in his heart.
I don’t appreciate the overly delicate expressions of girls.
In fact, the reason why Link chose without hesitation to prevent the marriage between the two empires and to help the little princess escape from the inherently unhappy second half of her life was simply because
Link's character of a true knight makes it impossible for him to just sit back and ignore the fact that he is about to send a girl as cute as a little princess into a pit of fire. It is more of a Link
Since he was a child, he has firmly believed in the responsibility of a knight to protect fairness and justice on the earth, not because of the vague feelings between him and the little princess, even if it is not the little princess who is facing this situation, but another person.
Whoever he is, Link feels that he will make exactly the same choice as he does now without hesitation.
But Link also understands that if he speaks his true words when facing the head of the Pamper family, or other guys from the aristocratic class on the mainland such as Lord Perigo,
, will only make these guys laugh out loud and increase their doubts about their true purpose.
For the top figures in the aristocratic class on these continents, although their families and their ancestors must have circulated the same creeds, principles, and standards that are similar to the standards that Link adheres to now.
It is the iconic character that a knight should have. However, after so many years, after their families have risen to the top of major empires generation after generation, and faced so many struggles for power and intrigues from generation to generation, these nobles
The guys here no longer believe in these things. Although they are by no means unfamiliar with these basic requirements for becoming a knight. They must have learned and recited them before, but for them now
For them, it is really unimaginable for them to believe that there are still people who truly agree with these creeds and act according to the guidance of these creeds.
Therefore, before Link set out to meet the head of the Pamber family, of course he had already thought about what kind of answer he should give if the head of the family asked a question like this.
Now looking at the reaction of the head of the Pamber family, his answer seems to have a better effect than he expected.
"Lord Link should also know that thanks to your majesty's trust, our Pamber family has been able to preside over the post of Minister of Military Affairs of the Sakara Empire for generations!" The head of the Pamber family pondered for a while, not knowing what was going on.
He was thinking about something, but suddenly he spoke and said something that didn't seem to fit in with the topic just now.
"Yes!" Although Link was confused, he still bowed politely and said: "I have often heard people mention the reputation of the Pamber family before, and I have always admired it very much!
"
"I don't deserve the admiration, but I have been in charge of the affairs of the Saqqara Empire's military department for most of my life. To put it bluntly, these eyes can be said to read countless people, but the young man I have seen in these decades
Among the heroes, there really is no one who can compare with Lord Link." The head of the Pamper family said, staring at Link with a cold light: "With someone as outstanding as Lord Link,
As a young man, he was born in a powerful family. Even if he directly requested marriage from any royal family of any empire on the mainland, no king of any empire would choose to refuse so ignorantly, would he? Lord Link again?
How could you abandon the near and seek the distant, follow you all the way to the Sakara Empire with such hidden strength, and think of using an outside force like our Pamber family to prevent this marriage between the two empires?!"
In fact, when Link put forward that reason just now, the head of the Pamper family basically believed it.
After all, he was once young and romantic. Although as the successor of a wealthy family like the Pamper family, his family responsibilities prevented him from freely choosing his own path, but this did not mean that this
The head of the Pamper family has been like this from the beginning, developing a character that only considers everything from the perspective of profit. In fact, such an old fox's temperament is more of this.
Being among the top political leaders of the Sakara Empire for many years, it was just a survival instinct that had to be cultivated.
However, after the family leader calmed down, he still thought of the only thing in Link's answer that seemed a bit unreasonable.
That is, he has already determined that the family that Link comes from is definitely stronger than the Pamber family, and even a family like the Pamper family that has inherited the position of imperial military minister for generations,
It can be regarded as the absolute first-class aristocratic family on the mainland. With the status and strength of the Pamber family, it is completely possible to ask the imperial royal family for a princess to be used as a marriage partner.
Something happened.
Moreover, in the mind of the family leader, Link, who has already reached the level of a Paladin at a young age, can already reach the core of power with his own strength, no matter where he is in any family.
Within the circle, a person who can achieve such a level of cultivation at such an age, no matter which family he is in, must be treated as a treasure and the person to be trained as the successor of the next generation.
In the concept of the head of the Pamber family, it seems that there has never been such a young paladin on the mainland. If this Link is from the Pamber family, he can achieve such an achievement, then
Even if the Pamber family devotes all their efforts, they will fulfill such a wish for him.
It's not that the head of the family is too suspicious, it's just that in his opinion, the complete skills left by the sage Garkana are too heavy, and he really can't understand the person behind Link.
How could the mysterious family not take some proactive actions at that time, but wait until now to allow Link to use such a costly method to prevent the marriage of the two empires?
There are always some ulterior reasons behind anything that is unclear, and if you don't figure it out first, you are likely to fall into a trap set by others.
Therefore, although the head of the Pamber family has basically believed Link's statement and hopes to successfully exchange the complete skills of the sage Galkarna on such terms, he still stops.
There, he stared at Link with bright eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Well..." Link still had a sincere smile on his face, but he was cursing secretly while thinking of a reasonable reason to fool this difficult old fox.
"With the strength of the Pamber family, I'm afraid our whereabouts have not been hidden from the eyes and ears of the family master from the beginning, right?!" In just a moment, Link had already thought of the answer and asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" The head of the Pamber family didn't know what Link meant by this question, but he hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"The head of the family must also know that I did not appear in the Bavarian Empire's envoys from the beginning." Link looked at the head of the Pamber family and continued: "I am
It wasn't until Lord Weil took His Royal Highness the Princess to Fort Colo, which borders the Sakala Empire, that he caught up with them and joined the team!"
"Oh..." The head of the Pamber family nodded thoughtfully, and said a little uncertainly: "What Mr. Link means is..."
This marriage between the two empires was kept secret very well, especially for the Bavarian Empire. Before arriving at Castle Collo, even when did the mission escorting the princess set off?
The Sakakara Empire was not informed of the route they followed. It was the people of the Sakakara Empire, including Norton III, who did not tell them how fast or slow they were until Link and the others made their official appearance at the Fourth Military Council.
News of the arrival of this Bavarian imperial envoy was received.
Although as the head of the Pamber family, he had received information about the marriage between the two empires from his own channels from the beginning, his system for collecting intelligence, especially the intelligence in the Bavarian Empire, was
In any case, it is impossible to compare the acquisition methods with the intelligence system built by the whole country of the Sakala Empire. Therefore, regarding the situation in the Bavarian Empire mentioned by Link, the head of the Pamber family is still temporarily unable to obtain it.
It's really not clear.
However, for the Pamber family, having already paid enough attention to Link, it is indeed not a difficult matter to verify this matter, but now that the Pamber family
The head of the family already had such a preconceived view of Link and the so-called powerful mysterious family behind Link that existed in his imagination. Even if he later verified the situation, it clearly recorded that Link had been growing up since childhood.
After all the experiences of growing up in Colo Castle, I am afraid that the head of the family will only feel that the mysterious family that Link came from has done a perfect job of hiding Link's identity, and no one can find out anything from it.
Just a flaw.
Link had correctly guessed the mentality of the family leader, so he gave such an answer with such confidence. After all, even if he did not mention the place of Fort Colo, with the strength of the Pamper family, once he faced
If he pays enough attention, he will track down everything about him sooner or later. It would be better for him to tell everything openly and openly now, which will have the effect of making people unable to argue between the truth and the truth.
"Yes." Link nodded honestly, sighed, and then said in a very helpless tone: "Although I have long been attracted by the beauty of Her Highness the Princess, but at that time, I
I always feel that a real man must have the courage to shoulder the responsibilities that come from the family, and always learn to put the interests of the family first before considering personal love or marriage."
The head of the Pamper family couldn't help but nodded slightly after listening to Link's words. Unknowingly, his guarded look had disappeared a lot.
After all, this was how he went through his youth. Perhaps it was not just him, but the heirs of every family in the aristocratic class on this continent, I am afraid, more or less, they had to go through something like this.
years.
So now that Link said this, the head of the Pamber family felt a bit sympathetic. He began to feel that the boy in front of him was not as careless as he looked just now.
It’s no longer pleasing to the eye.
"At that time, my fighting spirit training had just reached the most critical moment." Link secretly observed the reaction of the family head, and then continued: "I had always thought about how to practice fighting spirit at that time.
After I achieved a real breakthrough in my cultivation, I explained this matter to the elders in the family and asked them to come forward to propose to the royal family of the Bavaria Empire. However, I did not expect that I had just broken through the original realm and was so happy that I
When I wanted to go to Her Royal Highness the Princess to share the news, what I got was the news that Her Royal Highness had been regarded as the protagonist of this marriage between the two empires, and had even been escorted all the way to the Sakara Empire by Count Weir..."
Link told the story, looking like he was sighing, his face was full of emotion, and he was so full of emotion that even the head of the family was a little bit infected.
"That's why I rushed all the way here and chased them all the way here." Link looked at the head of the Pamber family and said, "As you know, head of the family, since the marriage between the two empires has already progressed,
At this point, unless something goes wrong with the Sakara Empire, our Bavarian Empire, no matter what the reason is, has no position to cancel this event after having escorted Her Royal Highness to your imperial capital.
A marriage between two empires."
The head of the Pamber family was silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly, indicating that he accepted Link's statement.
Link's statement indeed basically explained several of the family head's questions in a reasonable and reasonable manner.
In the opinion of the family head, in order to reach the level of Holy Knight that he thinks Link has achieved at Link's age, no matter how magical the fighting spirit training method is passed down in the family, no matter how Link himself
His talent is so extraordinary that it must require him to practice hard for a long time, and it probably requires a long-term practice that is unimaginable to ordinary people and goes beyond normal limits.
And for the head of the Pamper family, who also comes from a knight family, he can deeply understand that only true strength is the most fundamental and most effective way to ensure or improve one's status in the family.
Although the head of the family has long believed that the family that Link came from must be powerful, the Bavarian Empire can be regarded as the first-class powerful country on the continent, and he wants to marry the one he wants in a glorious manner.
The most beloved woman in the world, especially when this woman is the princess of the Bavarian Empire, I am afraid that only if she has been promoted to the level of a Holy Knight can she be absolutely sure to accomplish such a thing.
Under Link's hint, the current head of the Pamber family even vaguely believed that the reason why Link was able to reach the level of a paladin at such a young age may be because of his feelings for the princess.
That's why he was able to continuously break through his own limits, thus reaching the pinnacle of the knight profession on the continent.
"As long as I can prevent this marriage between the two empires, I would pay any price. So when I met Lord Perigueux, I chose to form an alliance with him, but what Lord Perigueux planned was
, is a bit too broad." Link looked at the head of the Pamper family, and then said: "For me, the success or failure of Lord Perigo is not too concerned.
The marriage between the great empires can finally develop in the direction we most want to see, so I found you and the Pamber family!"
"Of course." Link looked at the family head who seemed to want to ask something else, and quickly spoke first: "Before I came out this time, I had already informed the elders of our family and obtained their permission.
The exchange of the complete skills of the sage Erkana has been approved by the family elders, so the head of the family does not need to worry about this!"
"Okay!" The head of the Pamber family, who had made up his mind, also shouted loudly with a loud voice, "I didn't expect Lord Link to be so affectionate and sincere. He is such a good man, just like me back then.
