A few days after Shibao's wedding, Allen sat under a big tree at Shibao's training ground, holding the petals and wandering around: "She loves me, she doesn't love me, she loves me, she doesn't love me, she
……love me?"
He raised his head and sighed. Does Fiona really love him? Or is she just using him as his father Ivan said... Allen shook his head. What's the use of worrying about this now? He already hates him.
Elizabeth is married.
Continuing to shake his head in despair, he stretched out his hand to pick another delicate flower and slowly destroyed it. There was already a layer of petals on the ground.
Attendant Xia Tian came over and asked, "Your Highness is worried about Fiona?"
Xia Tian is the orphan who picked up the stone castle when Allen was a child. He is five years younger than Allen and has been growing up with Allen. He is considered Allen's confidant. The untouchable has no name and no family name. Because he was picked up by Xia Tian, he was named Xia Tian.
.In addition to Xia Tian, Allen also has a maid, Spring, and a bodyguard, Winter. These two people are slightly different from Xia Tian. They were picked up by Duke Ivan and thrown to Allen.
Allen nodded sadly towards Xia Tian, and said quite puzzledly: "Women...why do they have to be frivolous? Shouldn't that kind of thing be done only when we love each other? She is so casual, I can't figure out whether she is sincere or not.
Pretend, do you really love me..."
Xia Tian thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, what does it matter whether she loves you or not? Just like her."
Allen frowned and said, "What's the explanation?"
Xia Tian: "You are the heir to the title of Duke and the future Lord of the Southern Territory. Having three wives and four concubines is quite common. It doesn't matter whether she likes you or not. As long as you like her, wouldn't it be enough to let her serve you well?"
Allen thought about it carefully... Xia Tian was right! Is this the truth!?... But he immediately recalled the way his father Ivan scolded him severely, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset in his heart.
He said in frustration: "My father always taught me to stay away from the virtuous and the villain. If Fiona was a morally corrupt and dissolute woman, we wouldn't be able to be together."
Xia Tian pondered. "If you are worried about this... please come with me."
Xia Tian led Allen to Cézanne's residence and watched Fiona from a distance as she helped her father sort out the hay. The hay was already piled five or six meters high, almost twice as high as hers, but she was still struggling to pile it up.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Fiona was slightly tanned and had many minor injuries common in physical work. Her skirt was rolled up to expose her calves and one thigh, which gave Alan a different kind of charm in his eyes.
"Your Highness," Xia Tian pointed to Fiona and said, "The old man with gray hair and no arms is Fiona's father, and that small house is where they live."
Allen nodded, "They actually live in such a crude and crude place..."
Xia Tian said without joy or sorrow: "Because they are the servants of human beings."
"People's servants?"
Xia Tian said: "Fiona's father used to be an assistant to the affairs officer, raising horses for the local area and running long-distance jobs. Not only could he feed the three children, but he also had spare money to buy lambs and build chicken coops with bricks.
But now, he has lost his home and also lost
He lost an arm and became a cripple. He was disabled and had no ability to work. This was the most fatal thing at the moment. Many people simply did not regard him as a human being. Even the twelve or thirteen-year-old children in the city came to bully him. How could he survive?
It’s all thanks to his daughter Fiona.”
"Fiona?" Allen's interest aroused.
Xia Tian: "Your Highness, a weak woman cannot do heavy physical work, cannot go to the battlefield, and has no fixed income. How can she take care of her father?"
Allen fell into deep thought, thought for a while and shook his head.
Xia Tian sighed: "She can only show off her body."
Allen was shocked.
Xia Tian said: "She can only climb into the beds of one man after another and use her graceful body to prolong the life of her disabled father. Your Highness, do you think she did something wrong?"
"You don't need to say anything..." Alan felt guilty in his heart.
"I still blame her for being so frivolous. In fact, it's because I don't understand anything."
He walked straight towards Fiona, and under Cezanne's surprised eyes, he hugged her from behind.
Xia Tian nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave. He opened his money bag on the way out. There were five gold coins in the money bag. These five gold coins were the fees Fiona paid when she asked Xia Tian to introduce herself to Allen.
As a native of the south, Fiona would not dare to disobey the Duke, so she was basically honest when facing Duke Ivan, but some people would not be honest, such as Xia Tian...
"A woman who spends generously~! A woman who is not stupid~!"
Xia Tian smiled brightly like the sun. "She is a valuable woman~!"
…
Living in the same city, Duke Ivan couldn't see his son Allen and daughter-in-law Elizabeth. He couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. He sent his servant to inquire about the situation, and the information fed back made him a little confused.
"Alan and Elizabeth don't sleep together at night and live in two separate places?" Ivan frowned. The newlyweds don't live together?
"Elizabeth followed her affairs officer to the Brave Station at dawn. This... can barely be justified. What!? Allen is fooling around with that slutty Fiona all day long? This is unreasonable!"
In anger, Ivan was about to "completely" solve the matter, but soldiers came to report in panic.
The main force of the orcs appeared, the flags of the four major tribes appeared, and there was also a lion flag that had never been seen before.
Ivan had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and summon all parties to discuss the matter.
Ivan explained the situation to everyone.
"The real main force of the orcs has appeared, with a total strength of approximately 140,000 to 200,000."
There was a hissing breath in the hall.
Sage Ronis frowned, there were only sixty or seventy thousand fighting men in Stone Castle, and the enemy's strength was two or three times their number.
Bedwell, the deputy leader of the Titan mercenary group, felt extremely frightened and unconsciously said: "It's over, the orcs have conquered the southern territory..."
Gaheris clapped his hands and laughed and said: "All the orcs' effective strength is here, right? This is an epic task that has never happened in a century~! Hehe, Sir Duke, you have to pay more~~!!"
Bedwell became furious, pointed at Gaheris's nose and cursed:
"Money, money, money, what else do you think you have besides money? Why do you need money when your life is gone!?"
Everyone frowned upon hearing this, and Bedwell realized that he had made a mistake. Just as he was about to correct himself, Gino and Kai of the White Owl Knights stood up and said in unison: "For the honor of the White Owl Knights, we are willing to fight side by side with the Duke.
Till death do we rest!"
The other two representatives of the Titan Mercenary Group, Kambo and Boris, also quickly stood up and spoke: "Our Titan Mercenary Group is also a famous battle group in the mainland. We will carry out the mission to the end and will never betray it.
Employer’s business.”
Baron Danlish stood up: "Danlish is willing to advance and retreat together with the Duke."
The local governor Mogared also expressed his position extremely cautiously. "I am willing to listen to your orders."
Duke Ivan was relieved.
Gaheris suddenly laughed: "Why are you all looking so tragic? The brave men blessed by the gods are here with us. We can't lose. Don't look at the large number of people on the other side. They are all trying to sell.
First of all, you are rushing to give us meritorious deeds~!"
These words calmed everyone's emotions. Xing Jun stood up, looked around at everyone, and said confidently but mysteriously: "The trump card has arrived. We will win this battle."
