Although Hornworm Bay is very important to the Principality of Xisai, no town has been established here. Not to mention that it can rival the four major cities, there is not even a wall.
However, businessmen who have lived here for a long time all know that apart from the favorable living conditions, this place may appear safer.
At the boundary of the coast of Jiaoworm Bay, there are three stone towers. One is the station of the Cisse cavalry, and the other is a huge warehouse for processing official documents and supplies.
As for the last stone tower, it is the residence of the garrison. There are only men, their women, and a few servants inside.
"Dad, look, the waves in Qinhai are very big today, and the sailboats are shaking like fallen leaves." The little girl wore two ponytails and was only ten years old.
"Put on your coat, it's going to be winter soon. Be careful not to catch a cold." The man always had a smile on his face, and his doting look was palpable.
This person is the principal garrison at Hornworm Bay. He is so powerful that Grand Duke Grylls is reluctant to kill him, but he is also a big joke known to everyone in the Principality of Cisse.
Three years ago, his daughter held a birthday party in the High Court. Although not many people came, they were all good friends who could be called by their names.
The most surprising thing is that Natasha, who is the financial officer of the principality, also came to the scene in person. The two are students of the same grade in the Douqi branch of the principality, but one has a prominent family background, and the other is just an heir to a baron.
In this world, not everyone is a mercenary villain. His friendship with Natasha is very simple, and he simply appreciates each other's personality.
"Financial officer, it's such an enviable position. I'll give you some dragon crystals when I celebrate my birthday from now on." The man took a sip of wine and joked to the other party.
Although today is his daughter's birthday, he is the one who seems the happiest. Because after his wife died due to childbirth, his daughter became everything to him.
"Don't laugh at me. These are just the wishes of the family. If I were asked to choose on my own, I should continue to practice fighting qi like you."
Natasha punched the man without any image, and there was a faint gleam of fighting spirit on the punch. But the man was unmoved and even yawned.
The two chatted and laughed. At this time, only they and a little girl were left in the room. As for the other guests, they had already left.
"Are you really planning to leave Highgarden? You must know that there is no place like this in the Principality of Cisse. What's more, you are about to reach the peak and become the only blessed knight of our Cisse Principality."
Natasha changed the topic and the smile on her face gradually faded. Although these words were very hurtful, they were the most straightforward advice.
As a good friend at the same time, Natasha really didn't want her to leave Highgarden. Because there was only one result of doing so, which was to offend Grand Duke Grylls and offend all the dignitaries who had high hopes for him.
The problem of lack of fighting spirit professionals in Cisse is well known to the world. This is the heart problem of Grand Duke Grylls, and it is also the pain point of all the strong men in Cisse.
As a rare local hope in a century, how can he just leave if he wants to? Perhaps as long as he dares to show any sign of this, he will be shattered into pieces by fighting spirit and magic power.
"My daughter likes the sea, and this is also the birthday gift I plan to give her." The man heard this and shook his head, indicating that he had made up his mind to go.
In his heart, it is important to reach the top, because that is the lifelong wish of every professional. But his daughter's wish is even more important, even if it requires him to give up everything he has gained now.
Seeing this situation, Natasha no longer tried to dissuade her. Today she had said everything she had to say. As for the other party's choice, she could only leave it to her own devices.
She envies the other party's "willfulness", which is something she will never be able to feel in her life, and will always be out of reach.
"This long sword was given to me by the Grand Duke two years ago. Please return it to the original owner later." The man took out a long sword from the storage bag, which is the best in the royal family's treasury.
The man lowered his head and touched his weapon, which was like a farewell between old friends, and like a sigh when there is no more chance to come. Natasha did not speak, she stood up and left gently, slowly blending into the night.<
/p>
Three days later, Grand Duke Grylls was sitting in the palace, his face looking extremely unhappy. Natasha was lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"The things I sent out will come back in only two cases. One is that the other party betrayed Cisse, and the other is that he betrayed me. Now that your sword is in my hand, which reason does this belong to?"
Grand Duke Grylls asked in a cold tone. In his eyes, the other party is the future of Cisse, and he is a being who has high hopes.
But he did not expect that the other party would choose to leave Highgarden. In Grylls' eyes, this was already an act of betrayal to the Principality of Cisse.
If a strong person cannot be used by him, he is a potential enemy. In this case, every king will choose to strangle him in the cradle.
"I am from Xisai, and I will never leave Xisai in my life. But my daughter plans to live by the sea, and as a father, I cannot refuse."
"Grand Duke, you are a smart man. If I really wanted to defect to Cisse, I would not wait until today, let alone return my sidearm."
The man bowed and saluted, then randomly looked up at Grylls on the throne. There was no evasion in his eyes, and he looked very sincere.
However, Grand Duke Grylls was still furious. He did not expect that this person would act like this and be so disrespectful of the development of the Principality of Cisse.
"How about asking him to guard Hornworm Bay? It's very chaotic there, and it's a landing place for countless spies, and it's located between the Ice Sea and the Qin Sea."
"It is extremely stupid for us, Cisse, to kill our own Knight of Glory, and this person should have no intention of betraying and escaping."
Natasha looked at Grand Duke Grylls with a smile, her expression full of amusement. She was his lover, how could she not know what he was thinking.
These words were just for the ears of the dignitaries present. If Grylls really planned to kill him, why bother?
"Well... it's a good idea. Then go to Hornworm Bay. You're not allowed to return to Highgarden privately until you become a Knight of Divine Blessing."
The matter ended there, and the man took his daughter to Hornworm Bay that night, but before leaving, he met Natasha again.
"If the Grand Duke plans to assassinate me, will your strength be too weak?" The man jumped out of the carriage and asked with a playful smile.
"Be careful in the future. Hornworm Bay is very chaotic. This is your weapon. Grylls asked me to return it to you." Natasha smiled, then turned and left.
Time returned to the real world again. At this time, the man was holding a letter in his hand, which recorded Natasha's itinerary. There was no signature, no reason, and no extra words.
"Daughter, do you want to go somewhere with me? You haven't seen Aunt Natasha for a long time, right?" The man put the letter away and asked with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I haven't traveled for a long time. Dad is the best." The little girl jumped into the man's arms and looked very happy.
