Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight leisurely early winter
"Yulius, from the first time I met your sister, I knew that you were my friend!" Ryan held the wine glass and jokingly nudged Julius's arm with his elbow: "Why?
,don’t you want your sister to marry me?”
"If I don't want to, do you think you can get engaged to Sulia?" Julius leaned on the railing of the courtyard, holding a wine glass in his hand: "But I still have to say, Ryan, you are really a person with bad intentions.
The soul is weak."
"If I can marry Lidya Su, I must have a weak soul." Ryan said with a cheeky smile.
"Can I throw you off the courtyard?" Julius became angry when he saw Ryan's smiling face. He really wanted to retaliate with a punch to Ryan's face that deserved a beating.
But the legitimate son of the Duke of Winford also knew that Ryan could be regarded as his immediate choice as his brother-in-law. At least Julius could not think of a better partner than Ryan. Unless his sister was sent to
If you become a nun in the Convent of Saints, you will definitely have to get married, and how could Francois be willing to send Sulia to become a nun? The Duke himself only has this one legitimate daughter.
The countess who became the divinely chosen champion has a good ending. Most of the Duke's daughters have unhappy marriages, because most of the Duke's daughters' marriages are political marriages.
"Sulia... I leave it to you, Ryan. I know that you are the chosen champion of the ladies. Over the years, countless enemies have died at your hands. Chivalry has been perfectly embodied in you.
, your feats inspired the knights of the kingdom, stabbing the terror into
into the hearts of my enemies, but I still have to emphasize that if you treat my sister badly, I will hold a sharp sword and demand a duel with you." Julius looked at Ryan and said bravely: "Here we are.
At that time, guess who Lidya Su will support?"
"This will never happen, Yuri." Ryan said seriously, holding the wine, "Never."
Julius nodded upon seeing this, and the two men stood together by the railing of the courtyard, looking at the rich Helen Hilde, the capital of the Principality of Winford. It was already late autumn, and there was a prosperous city under the withered yellow leaves.
For his future father-in-law, Ryan certainly does not hesitate to open trade routes. The dwarves' exquisite weapons, various wood elves' goods, and a large number of magic potions produced by Veronica's Dawn Wizard Tower can all be sold in Winford's market.
Seen above.
Julius looked at Ryan with his handsome and cold face for a long time, always making Ryan feel a little embarrassed: "What's wrong? Yuli, you look at me like this, I'm a little scared."
"Unknowingly, I have been pulled away by you." Julius sighed: "I am in urgent need of more training, but the whole kingdom has been very quiet recently, and there has been no war... I heard that you are planning to spend the winter farm leisure time.
Is it time to raise an army and prepare for a new war?"
"A small war aimed at clearing out the Beastmen and Greenskin tribes in the Sharon Forest. I will regain some lost land, then build villages and cultivate farmland." Ryan held the wine glass: "There won't be too many people.
, there are about a thousand troops and dozens of knights, and I will not personally participate in this war. My flag-bearer Armand will lead this army."
"Then please let me participate." Julius said seriously: "I need the war to temper myself."
"Yes, yes, but..." Ryan frowned.
"I will follow Lord Armand's command." Julius immediately added.
"Okay, be careful. I hope you live to attend my official wedding with Lidya Su."
"I will definitely do it."
…………
With several heavy rains in autumn, winter has arrived in Britannia. This year's winter has arrived extremely early. The cold wind is biting the earth. People have to wear thick clothes and animal skin cloaks to resist the cold.
, with the winter wheat completely sown, the serfs began to enter the slack time of farming again.
In the afternoon of early winter, it rained heavily. Ryan sat in his master bedroom and read quietly. He looked at the heavy rain outside the castle. Winter is here, and this heavy rain brings a deep cold that penetrates the bone marrow. Here,
On rainy days, even the knights would suspend their activities and hide in their rooms to warm themselves up by the fire.
The new earl was wearing casual clothes. He was leaning leisurely on a soft armchair. Ryan was not very afraid of the cold, so he didn't wear many clothes, but the same could not be said for Orika, who was sitting in front of the fireplace. It was dark.
The elf wore a thick maid's dress and breathed air-conditioning.
"The weather is really cold, Master." Olica focused her attention on the fireplace, and the dark elf carefully added firewood to the fireplace: "The firewood is almost gone. I'll go get some."
The sparks between the fireplaces made a crackling sound. Olica put on her white bear fur coat and went out to get some firewood for the fireplace.
The floor of the master bedroom was covered with fine wood elf carpets. Ryan stipulated that he had to change into slippers when entering his room. The earl breathed a sigh of boredom. Since he and Sulia were engaged, the female knight had the opportunity to meet him.
On the contrary, it has become less. One of the reasons is because Helen Hilde will close the mountain with heavy snow soon. The only few opportunities to meet, the fairy in the lake will immediately find an excuse to let Sulia go to her tower.
"Study before marriage".
She did it on purpose! Ryan thought with black lines in his head.
Although they are engaged, Ryan and Lidya Su will not get married so quickly. It will take at least two to three years to prepare everything for the entire wedding. If it were any other noble, it would take even longer.
"How are the preparations at Armand's place?" Ryan asked Olika.
"The army of 1,500 people has been assembled. Now we can set off after the rainy season ends. Miss Veronica is also ready." Orica nodded: "The dwarves and wood elves are also waiting.
, this is a rare opportunity for practical combat, and everyone attaches great importance to it."
"Very good." Ryan nodded and said with a smile, "If I guess correctly, she will be here soon."
"She?" When Olica felt a little strange, the door of the room rang.
"Ryan? It's me." The sorceress's voice sounded outside the door.
"Dear Theresa, please come in." Ryan put down the mug and said toward the door.
The door of the room opened, and Teresa's slim figure appeared at the door of the room. The sorceress had light makeup on her cold and charming face. She was wearing an evening apricot carved tulle light chiffon shirt, paired with a burgundy **
The skirt with a fine plaid collar and the perfect waistline are completely exposed in front of Ryan. The slender and straight legs under the skirt are wearing black stockings. The sorceress's shapely black stockings and beautiful black stockings make Ryan endure
I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Seeing Ryan focusing on her legs, Teresa's face turned a little red, but she still reached out and pushed up her black butterfly-patterned glasses: "Lian, are you looking for me?"
Ryan pointed at the wood elf carpet on the ground. Olica immediately gave Theresa fluffy slippers. Upon seeing this, Theresa bent down to untie the laces of her high heels and painted the toenails of her stockinged feet.
Wearing blue nail polish, the sorceress's careless movements show her endless charming charm. Teresa, who is just over thirty this year, is in the best time of her life as a female spellcaster.
"Olica, please go out first. I have something I want to talk to Theresa about." Ryan stood up to greet Theresa's arrival. The dark elf responded and exited the room.
"Lian..." Theresa saw Ryan's eyes lingering on her body, and the sorceress couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.
Without saying anything, Theresa thought for a long time when she heard that Ryan was going to see her, and decided to dress up specially.
"Teresa, sit down." Ryan gestured to the sorceress to sit down on the chair next to her. Two cups of black tea have been brewed on the small table, as well as the elf blueberry cake made by Ryan and the Fairy of the Lake: "Speaking of which, since
It’s been a long time since we chatted in such a leisurely way after the hotel in Nordmjordenhaven.”
"You also know, Ryan, I thought you had forgotten the time we had adventures together." Teresa looked at Ryan's half-smile with her silver eyes, and said unhappily: "I heard that this winter offensive
Are you arranging for Veronica and her apprentices to participate?"
"Yes, this war will not be too dangerous. The beastman tribe and the greenskin tribe in the Chalon Forest have been cleared many times by my brother Angron. In this cold season, the beasts
The combat effectiveness of humans and green-skin tribes is very low, which is why they have enough
A good opportunity for practical experience." Ryan put down the tea cup and turned his attention to Theresa: "Speaking of which, Theresa, taking this opportunity, I want to ask you what your plans are? Do you really plan to do it?
Do you want to build a wizard tower in my territory? What about the Gloria Council?"
Teresa's beautiful eyebrows were raised, and she knew why Ryan was always worried about him.
Veronica has always been single. She can devote herself to Ryan without any scruples. But Theresa is different. She is the daughter of Elder Aurora. Ryan is a little worried about whether she is three minutes hot.
.
"Mother and Speaker Margarita have reached an agreement on certain issues." Teresa raised her head, her plump softness swaying behind her shirt: "Gallan will build a branch here. From now on, Veroni and I will
The card will stay with you forever."
Ryan thought to himself, aren't Aurora and Speaker Margarita two different factions?
"Ryan, you have grown up too fast. The parliament once deduced that you should be promoted to earl within ten years, but this is only your third year in Britannia." Of course Theresa saw Ryan.
question, the sorceress said softly: "Believe me, Ryan."
"Of course I believe you, dear Theresa. We sneaked into Mousilon together this time. If you hadn't resisted Manfred desperately, we would all have died there. I have always believed in you." Ryan shook his head gently.
The count saw Teresa's dedication to him, "But I still won't let you go with the army on this expedition, because I have other arrangements for you."
"What else?" Teresa asked curiously.
"This winter, you will live in the guest room on the third floor." Ryan handed a thick book to Theresa: "In the past few months, I will teach you Gothic, my female courtier.
If you don’t speak High Gothic, it will be difficult to do many things in the future.”
"Who is going to be your female courtier?" The sorceress's face turned red at Ryan's sudden words, but she said mercilessly: "Before I met you, I always thought you were a gentleman, but you turned out to be a playboy.
Guy."
"Didn't I say before, I have always been a 'gentleman'." Ryan complained: "Don't ask me for the 'universal values' of those church pastors. I must be single-minded. I must be a rigid good man. I am not
, I don’t have it~ There are always many people like this in the world. They first create a loyal and honest image for the Knight of the Holy Grail, and then forcefully use this image to match me. When they find that it is not the same, they are disappointed, but I have never, never been
That kind of person."
"It is true that the Knights of the Holy Grail are living saints, but the only standard for our actions and actions is our own understanding of the eight virtues of the Knights. Many people like to impose their superficial understanding on us, but the Holy Grail never lies."
"Pfft~" The sorceress couldn't help laughing. She couldn't help laughing: "So you repeatedly rejected my partner's proposal during the trip? At this time, you are single-minded again? Will you be engaged to the Duke's daughter later?"
"Abide by the spirit of the contract are two different things. Please don't confuse them." Ryan said with a smile: "So, you can stay here with me for the next few months. When you have completely mastered the High Gothic language, we will talk about your wizard.
Tower Construction.”
"Yes, but I also want to get your full support like Veronica!" Teresa thought about being able to stay with Ryan throughout the winter, and she felt a little excited, and her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings shook gently.
, she made her own conditions: "With all your strength, without any reservation."
"Of course, I promise." Ryan nodded: "In these few months, I will teach you a lot of things, some you know, some you don't know, and even some things you can't imagine, Theresa,
Let me ask you one last time, have you really made up your mind? Once you learn these things, you can only be my female courtier from now on."
"If I didn't want to, I wouldn't chase you to your territory." Teresa said quietly: "You know how much it takes for a proud Congresswoman of Gloria to chase a man's territory.
Courage?"
"Is that for you?" Ryan said softly: "I understand, I understand everything."
"And...I want that too!" Teresa's tone changed, and her always proud and cold face was filled with crimson: "Veronica told me that you can give your own woman to her
A kind of 'spiritual pattern' is engraved on the body..." (To be continued)
