Jonas crawled out from under the bed and asked in embarrassment.
"A servant considers himself a butler. If my good-for-nothing husband hadn't promoted him, he would be nothing more than a beggar. I don't know where he got it from."
Anne walked to the bed and said with an unhappy look. She sat lazily on the bed and started staring at the poet's handsome face again.
There was a comfortable velvet mattress under her butt. She pressed the bard on the bed and covered his chest with one hand.
"Waste is waste after all."
Jonas laughed.
"That's it, okay, ignore him. Let's continue. Where did we 'chat' just now?"
Anna said, with a wicked smile on her face and stretched out her hand to ***
Jonas could only agree gently...
…
Talinnam sat at the table and carefully looked at the lock of hair left on the account book. The hair was too short for Lady Anna, but too long for the male servants. Inside the Berthold Manor
, male servants must have short hair, which is Bertolt's request. Talinnam just felt strange why there were these hairs on Anna's clothes. Also, the smell on her body was wrong, it was an indescribable smell.
The perfume mixture smells of the frankincense cream she uses on daily basis, as well as the smell of other perfumes. In the entire castle, the use of perfume can be said to be Anna's privilege. So, are there others around her?
Talinam frowned and pondered. If he was a common friend, why did Anna hide it and didn't tell him? If he was a common friend, why did he never see this person? Or is Anna hiding something from him?
Talinnam was just deep in thought. He originally wanted to ask Anna's servants, but think about it, these servants are all people who have followed Mrs. Anna for more than ten years. If Anna deliberately concealed something, she would never let them know or reveal anything. And he
If you ask rashly, you may expose yourself. Therefore, after careful consideration, Talinnam chose to remain silent.
He was just observing carefully, observing the mistress of this castle, and what she was doing. Is there any ulterior secret behind that door? Talinnam knew that he could not knock on the door to investigate, Berto just
He gave himself the power to manage the castle, but did not have the power to search Anna. Anna was the woman that Berto loved deeply, and Talinnam knew that he had to be extremely careful with her.
…
In a gray land, mist shrouded the morning. Just after finishing camping, the Kislev army heading north packed up their luggage and continued on the road under the order of Grand Duke Landao. Their destination was Erengrad. Since Rhodes was in the north
After becoming the king of the world, the Snow Queen Katarina was undoubtedly most worried about the safety of the important northern town of Elengrad. Although there was a powerful naval fleet there, the army was very sparse, with only more than a thousand people, which was not enough to defend it.
New Elengrad City. Therefore, the real purpose of Katarina asking Lando to go north was to reinforce Elengrad, and the northern expedition was just a gimmick.
The Land of Gray is a mixed area of forests, swamps, and hills. It is rumored that Rhodes ambushed the greenskin army here and angered Ironhide. Landao did not know much about the terrain in this area. He came from the south of Kislev.
, I was not familiar with the northern border.
However, he was not worried. Because before going north, the northern lord, Volkuf, had already taken the initiative to contact him. Stone Split Castle sided with the noble alliance during the original Erengrad rebellion, and thus suffered a blow from Ice and Snow.
Due to the Queen's cruel suppression, the new lord Volkuf was actually Queen Katrina's son. Therefore, when Rhodes became the Queen in the north, he went directly south to inform, and as the Queen's informant and guide on the northern front, he stood firm
Split Stone Castle. Now, this leader has ushered in his first mission and the first batch of friendly troops from the south.
When Volkov emerged from the woods riding a brown war horse, the Confederate army almost regarded him as an enemy. Just as they were about to take aim and shoot, Volkov shouted his name in the fog. The castle flag was in the wet.
It hung feebly in the air and hung on the shoulders of the flag bearer. Volkov, wearing fine armor, rode to the side of Duke Landau.
They looked at each other and smiled.
"They are preparing to attack Oerengrad."
Riding on horseback, Volkov said confidently. It was as if no one else in the world knew this information except him.
Landao just squinted his eyes and took a look. This was the purpose of coming here. Why did the northern lord say that.
"How many men has your King in the North gathered? Does he have any siege weapons?"
Lando asked in a mocking tone.
"Your Majesty, please do not associate me with such a traitor. I am the lord of Split Rock Castle appointed by the Snow Queen. I am loyal to Her Majesty the Queen and to this country. If given the opportunity, I am willing to dedicate everything I have to repay you."
I will repay the kindness that the Snow Queen has shown me to my motherland!"
Volkov turned his head and returned with a serious expression.
"Don't be so serious, I was just joking."
Lando returned with a smile.
Volkov lowered his head and said nothing. The rain fell on his fine armor, making a ticking sound. It seemed like sweet music. However, this music was not a good sign for the soldiers from the south.
.The climate here is so cold that the frozen air stings their skin and bones like thousands of cold needles. It doesn’t snow, but it is colder than when it snows. This is the climate in the north. Once autumn arrives,
It is equivalent to entering the cold winter. In the area north of Stone Split Castle, the temperature is at freezing point for half of the year, which is equivalent to the cold winter in the south.
"You haven't answered me yet, do they have siege weapons? I mean Rhodes and the others."
Landao asked next.
"There are...as far as I know, there are. Moreover, they are not ordinary siege weapons. They have siege cannons, catapults, siege rams, siege towers, etc. It is not uncommon."
"So, Elengrad is dangerous."
Lando frowned.
"Hmm... But isn't your legion already here? Following this road, we can reach Elengrad within a week. As long as we join the defenders, Rhodes's northern coalition forces will be unable to do so for a while.
Capture Elengrad. As long as time is delayed long enough, our hope of victory will be greater."
Volkov said confidently.
"It's not that we hope to win, but that we must win. Regardless of military strength, economy, or population, Rhodes has no chance of winning."
The Grand Duke corrected.
However, just as the two were talking confidently, the sound of countless arrows flying rapidly came from the woods. In an instant, hundreds of soldiers of the Kislev regular army were killed by hidden arrows.
