"Dear sister Tanasa, you have also seen that that rude guy is not a king with glory and grace? I think he is a bold, rude and arrogant barbarian at all... He actually left us alone. You didn't take the majesty and dignity of our monarchy, the Zenit Empire, into your eyes..."

The little prince Tolbinski tremblingly came to the north bank of the Zuli River from the temporary broken bridge built with ropes and planks. When he entered the gate of Chambord City, he was still relentlessly speaking ill of Fei. Whether it was the first image of Fei knocking himself and his followers away from the horse at the beginning, or the unreasonable behavior of throwing the imperial entrusted mission on the riverside and ignoring it, Tolbinski was very fond of the king of Chambord. very dissatisfied.

In fact, the little prince Tolbinski is not the only one who harbors such dissatisfaction. For the high-ranking knights of the Zenit Empire, they came to this remote village as the canonized mission of the monarchy, which is already a big deal for Chambord. Cheng Tianda's charity, as a little king of a sixth-class dependent country that has not yet been officially crowned, actually put on airs and rolled out to greet him without a fool. This attitude made many people not very dissatisfied, if not Her Royal Highness Princess Tanasa did not express her position, and many of them even wanted to rush into the palace to teach this rude king an unforgettable lesson.

"Jimmy, the code of chivalry tells us that when we accuse others of being rude, we should reflect on what we have done."

The weak voice in the carriage didn't listen to his brother's complaints, and it was still the soft and unhurried tone. As the ambassador representing the Zenit Empire who came to Chambord for the canonization of the king this time, the Empire Her Highness the Eldest Princess Tanasa unexpectedly did not pay attention to all the cold reception the mission had received before. No one knew what the Eldest Princess was thinking. She had never shown up in the carriage.

Under the gate of Chambord.

Mr. Best, the royal butler who was previously dressed in rough linen robes as a groom, now changed into a set of gorgeous black robes. .

Seeing the princess's carriage approaching, Best hurriedly saluted and explained: "Your Highness, Your Highness, our king was seriously injured in this battle, so he couldn't come to greet the two Highnesses in person. I'm very sorry, but we have already prepared the embassy's residence and feast for the mission."

To be honest, in the past three or four hours, this handsome old man was too busy.

The young and energetic His Majesty Alexander focused all his attention on sympathizing with his soldiers and subjects, so Best had to brace himself to deal with the canonized mission of the Zenit Empire. The broken stone bridge outside Chambord was exactly what he arranged for people to rush The prestige of Butler Best in Chambord City has dropped to the lowest point because of the "run away with money" incident. Few people are willing to sell the face of this cunning and greedy "old boy", but the old fox is worthy of being an old fox. Said, "If the stone bridge is not repaired in time, the canonized mission will revoke the coronation of Alexander." The soldiers and civilians in Chambord City immediately devoted their energy to the repair of the stone bridge, and even some Soldiers who were slightly injured volunteered to join the project, and soon countless cables connected the two sides of the broken bridge, covered with solid wooden boards, allowing carriages and knights to pass through.

Best twitched his tongue when he saw it.

The whole process was even two hours faster than he expected. Alexander's prestige in Chambord was unmatched, far surpassing that of the old king. It seemed that these soldiers and civilians were even willing to die for the king if necessary.

"Lead the way."

After hearing Best's words, the voice of Princess Tanasa, who had never been seen in the carriage, came out. She was still soft and indifferent, and no one could get any information from such an answer. Her Royal Highness, the Station Master Princess of the Zenit Empire, seems to have been in the same mood all along, without any change.

Best nodded, bowed gracefully, turned around and led the way.

He is not surprised by this, all the way from St. Petersburg, the capital of the Zenit Empire, this mysterious princess Her Royal Highness has always had this attitude, Best has been calm from the initial curiosity to the present - in fact, he I'm completely used to it.

After entering the city, the royal canonized mission was settled in the mansion of the military judge Kongka.

Because the military judge Konka was killed by King Alexander himself for treason, this luxurious and huge mansion was confiscated and became the property of the royal family of Chambord. Best had selected a large number of servants to clean the entire mansion before. , and even slightly redecorated it, this arrangement satisfied the fussy and complaining Prince Tolbinski and the high-ranking knights.

The royal mission brought a large number of servants and maidservants with them. Best didn't have to worry too much about this, but this old handsome guy still played his administrative expertise. No matter what kind of cold eyes he received from these high-ranking knights, he was never humble Treat each other with courtesy, without showing the slightest neglect or disrespect.

"His Royal Highness Princess and Prince, King Alexander will hold a celebration banquet at the Palace of Chambord to celebrate the victory of the defense of Chambord City. If you two can appear at the banquet at that time, it will be our greatest honor. "

Before leaving, Best extended the invitation in a very gracious manner.

In fact, Fei himself did not intend to invite the members of the royal entrusted mission to the evening banquet, but in the eyes of the handsome old man Best, this banquet might be a good opportunity to increase the relationship between the two parties and resolve the previous estrangement, so he made it his own. Claimed to have extended the invitation.

"What? Celebrating? Ha, he still has the nerve to celebrate? All the enemies in black were wiped out outside the city by our cavalry... If the brave Zenit Empire cavalry hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid he, the king, would have been killed by others." Caught in a cage and become the king of subjugation? Haha, okay, tell you that foolish king, I will definitely participate at that time, but I want to see how that cheeky guy beat other people Take the credit for yourself!"

Upon hearing this, the little prince Tolbinski replied angrily...

The sunset is like blood.

Surrounded by mountains, Chambord City is bathed in golden light. Against the background of the surging river outside the city, it appears a different kind of tranquility and serenity, just like a beautiful landscape painting, which is intoxicating and intoxicating.

On the stone streets in the city, there are many pedestrians going back and forth.

Although the King's Defense War has been won, and King Alexander has done a lot of aftermath work, for the subjects of Chambord City, there are still many things that need to be done. The door panels, stones and heavy objects of the rolling stone need to be moved back home, the corpses of the dead soldiers need to be restrained, and the corpses left by the enemy under the city and outside the city must also be incinerated to avoid rotting and smelling and causing plague diseases... The end of a battle, Means the beginning of another tedious project.

No one noticed that new guests were ushered in on the streets of the city.

A mysterious woman hooded with a black scarf walks casually under the protection of a heavily armed female knight, and behind them, a tall, smiling blond warrior has been silently following.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect this small city to have a nice view, and the streets are spacious and tidy. Although it is not as good as St. Petersburg, it is already very rare for a mere sixth-class dependent country."

The female warrior observed the buildings on both sides of the street from time to time, looking very curious, but when she saw the king's palace in the distance, she frowned: "However, I guess the king named Alexander must be a very greedy and extravagant guy , otherwise, how could he build such a magnificent and huge palace for himself."

"Susan, my opinion is the exact opposite of yours..."

The mysterious woman in the black veil shook her head lightly, and said slowly: "Someone in the imperial capital previously rumored that the king named Alexander was a fool with only three or four years of intelligence. Now it seems that this kind of statement is obviously extremely stupid. Look at the street. The civilians on the road, although they have just experienced a tragic war, and some even lost their relatives, the smiles on their faces are a manifestation of happiness from the heart. Is that so loyal to a fool king? As for that magnificent palace... If you look closely at the color of the stone, it has been built for at least eighty years, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with this king named Alexander …”

Having said that, the mysterious woman in black veil paused for a moment, and then said, "Susan, I'm suddenly interested in the celebration banquet tonight. You go back and make preparations, and join me tonight."

"Hee hee, Your Highness, it seems that this is the first time you are willing to take the initiative to participate in this kind of banquet. I will immediately notify the butler named Best and ask him to send someone to pick him up..."

The young female swordsman Susan seemed a little surprised.

"You don't need to inform him, let's go and take a look quietly... Doesn't it mean that there are no invitations for this banquet, and everyone, whether poor or noble, can participate? We can pretend to be ordinary people."

The mysterious woman in black veil said.

"Ha, it's better this way, at least I don't have to deal with those annoying nobles at the banquet, hee hee... By the way, Your Highness, what about this annoying guy?"

The female swordsman said, pointing to the blond samurai who had been silently following behind the two of them.

"Knight Commander Roman, you can go with us too."

The content of the black-veiled woman's words seemed to be a suggestion, but her tone carried an undeniable sense of refusal.

The blond warrior with a smile on his face nodded, "It's my honor, Your Highness."

The sun went down, and night began to cover the earth.

The lights in the city were lit up little by little, and the king's hall in Chambord was brightly lit, and more and more residents began to gather in the king's hall. In less than half an hour, except for the soldiers guarding the city wall, almost everyone in the whole castle died. Appeared in the King's Hall.

The celebration dinner is about to begin.
