Grand Duke Feisabrun kept his word. When he arrived at the south gate of Windbury King City, with the blowing of another welcome horn, the city guards who had been standing guard at the gate and the city wall quickly gathered. , then turned around and ran away following the password, leaving only three city guards standing by the road at the gate of the city waiting for everyone to arrive.
"Lord Norton, you can send your family soldiers to take over the south gate. Those three are guides. If you need anything, ask them. They know the defense facilities of the south gate very well." Grand Duke Feisabrun Holding the horsewhip, he pointed to the three city defense soldiers waiting at the gate of the city.
Lorist smiled and said, "Thank you, His Royal Highness is really too polite."
Pat brought a thousand guards up, and under the leadership of the three guides, he quickly took over the defense of the south gate.
"By the way, at noon today, I will host a banquet to welcome Little Prince Doc of the Duchy of Forondo, Earl Dalek of the Duchy of Sabaji, and Earl Churchwick of the Duchy of Handra. If the four of you are willing to give me face Please join us. Holding this knight tournament can be regarded as draining my family’s treasury. If I can save a little bit, the four of you will never let me hold another welcome banquet…” Grand Duke Fessabrun invited with a smile road.
"How can you bother His Royal Highness so much, we are very happy to make new friends." It was Earl Kenmes who said this. He glanced at Lorist before speaking, and Lorist nodded slightly.
"It's better to meet each other than to meet each other. We have always been remote in the north. I heard that the four principalities in the middle of the country were the most prosperous lands in the former empire era. Talents came out in large numbers. It just happened to let us nobles in the north see the nobles and romantics from the middle of the empire. Please His Royal Highness introduce you."
"Hehe..." The Grand Duke Fesabrunn looked at Earl Kenmes very happily: "The introduction is natural, and I never thought that holding a knight tournament would attract the attention of the four central duchies and make them go all the way. That’s why I had to change the banquet welcoming you into entertaining two parties, it’s great if you don’t mind the blame. Walk around, the banquet is ready, and I’m just waiting for a few guests to come.”
The place where Grand Duke Fesabrun stayed was the Rose Palace where the second prince used to be, and the place where the banquet was held was in a side hall on the left side of the main hall. When Lorist and the others arrived, there were more than ten people waiting in front of the side hall to welcome the arrival of Grand Duke Feisabrun.
The little prince Doc of the Principality of Forondo is very young, only about twenty-four years old. The aristocratic dress trimmed with gold silk was worn beside him, which made him more energetic, dignified and personable. Lorist had to admit that this little Prince Doc was much more handsome than himself, young and handsome, although he didn't ride a white horse, he was still the model of the prince charming in those girls' dreams.
There were two behind Little Prince Doc, one was a red-faced old man. Lorist glanced at him carefully. He was a second-level great swordsman, but it seemed that his cultivation level was similar to that of the Hughes great swordsman who was beside him. The other was a three-star gold knight, so Lorist didn't pay much attention to it. As for Little Prince Doc, Dou Qi is only one star of silver, and he seems a little proud.
"This little white-faced prince seems to want to rely on his looks and demeanor to attract Princess Sylvia. If he really had a chance of success in the world of face-seeking in his previous life, it's a pity that this girl Sylvia is looking for her." The first prerequisite for this man is to be able to defeat her, this poor boy should be out of the game..." Lorist muttered in his heart while showing a hypocritical smile that he had admired for a long time, and paid tribute to these waiting nobles very friendly and politely.
Earl Dalek of the Principality of Sabaji is a tall man, estimated to be in his thirties, with two gold stars, and he speaks and smiles casually. Although he saluted with Lorist and the others in a serious manner, Lorist was sensitive to the look of contempt shown in Earl Dalek's eyes when the Grand Duke Fesabrunn introduced that the four of them were from the Northland. .
Earl Churchwick of the Principality of Handela is more like a younger version of Earl Kenmes, but he is better than Earl Kenmes because he is a golden one-star knight. He is eloquent and has a good demeanor. The Grand Duke Fesabrun treats him even more intimately than he treats the little prince Doc. When Lorist was introduced, the Earl of Churchwick asked with some surprise: "My lord, is Hilovas Island also the territory of the Norton family?"
Lorist smiled and nodded, and then turned to the next person following the introduction of Grand Duke Fessabrun, but he noticed that Earl Churchwick's gaze stayed on him for a long, long time.
In addition to these nobles from the four principalities in the middle, there are also three nobles from the Kingdom of Iberia accompanying them. Lorist only thought they looked familiar, but Earl Kenmes was very familiar with them, and even hugged them. After introducing Lorist, he found out that these three nobles had dealt with him before. When he captured Windbury last time, these three nobles negotiated with him on behalf of the queen. No wonder they looked familiar.
The last two who were introduced by Grand Duke Feisabrun were two golden knights from Feisabrun's family, one with three gold stars named Brudo, and the other with two gold stars named Losov. These two seem to be the right-hand men of the Grand Duke Fesabrun. On the contrary, Viscount Christopher, whom Lorist wanted to see, was not here. Grand Duke Feisabrun said that he was currently sitting in Jinchuan Province.
After entering the side hall, Lorist discovered that the banquet held by the Grand Duke Fesabrun this time was divided into seats, and there were a total of more than twenty small long tables divided into two rows. This kind of small long table was a bit like what Lorist had seen on TV in his previous life. The difference between the desks in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is that the sides of the long table are not rolled up, but square, covered with a white hemp tablecloth. In addition, instead of sitting on the ground, there is a small round stool behind the long table.
The Grand Duke Fesabrun did his part to take the first place in the middle, and Lorist immediately chose the position on the left, and the next positions were Earl Kenmes, Baron Felim, Baron Shaheen, and the great swordsman of Hughes, Joe. ster. El refused to sit down, and went outside to be with the five hundred family guards who accompanied them. They were provided with hot soup, wine and meat by the Grand Duke's subordinates.
Standing behind Lorist was Shi Huade. At this moment, he found that the opposite little prince Doc was actually served by two beautiful maids. Rather, the Earl of Churchwick, whom he thought resembled the Earl of Kenmes, had no attendants or maids. Sitting alone, seeing Lorist looking at him, he also smiled and nodded.
After being seated, a large group of maids and servants quickly served food and drink for everyone, and a few strong servants with shirtless shirts moved onto a large shelf with a half-roasted calf on it. Roast and eat now, just say hello if you want to eat, and a servant will cut the roasted beef for you and deliver it to you. Then came up a group of maids holding various musical instruments, sitting in the corner of the side hall and began to play a very lively piece of music...
Grand Duke Feisabrun raised the golden cup: "Everyone, welcome to the Royal City of Windbury. This first glass of wine is my respect to all of you. It is Feisabrun who has come all the way to participate in this knight tournament. It is an honor and pride for the Lun family, and I would like to express my gratitude... Do it first, Gulu Gulu..."
Grand Duke Feisabrun drank the wine in the golden cup in a few sips: "Everyone, please feel free."
The nobles present stood up abruptly: "Thank you, Grand Duke..." "You are too polite."
Lorist also got up to pay homage. After finishing his polite words and drinking the fine wine in the silver cup, he just sat down when he heard the little prince Doc across from him ask: "His Royal Highness, Princess Jiumu Sylvia is the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Iberia. I don't know if I can invite you to meet me, I have admired the princess for a long time... "
Paralyzed, this kid made it clear that he was coming for Princess Sylvia!
"Hehe..." Grand Duke Feida Brunn laughed: "Your Highness, don't be impatient. A few days ago, something happened at home. The girl Sylvia rushed back to deal with it. She will be back in about three or four days. At that time, I will introduce the little girl to meet His Royal Highness. It's just that my little girl has always been spoiled by me, and her temper is not very good. I hope His Royal Highness can forgive me a lot."
The little prince Doc sat down angrily, with a disappointed expression on his face.
It was only then that Lorist realized that it was no wonder that he didn't see Princess Sylvia when he arrived in Windbury, and he didn't even see her at the banquet. It turned out that something happened at home and he went back.
Earl Kenmax stood up: "His Royal Highness, I heard that you held the knight tournament this time to find a good marriage for Princess Sylvia. Is there such a thing?"
Grand Duke Feisabrun sighed softly: "Yeah, time flies, and Sylvia has become a big girl in a blink of an eye. Think about how small she was when she was held in her arms. Delicate, but now she has become a heroic golden female knight. She is twenty-five years old this year, and I can't let her delay any longer. This knight tournament is held for her marriage. Who told this girl to have extreme vision Gao, so many suitors look down on her. As her grandfather, I can only take this method. I hope I can find a good husband for her at this conference... "
"His Royal Highness, Princess Sylvia is the most beautiful flower in our Iberian Kingdom, and also the most precious and dazzling gemstone. Naturally, her marriage must be carefully chosen. It is only His Royal Highness who chooses a husband-in-law for Princess Sylvia. I also need to see if Her Highness the Princess is satisfied. After all, Her Royal Highness has her own prejudices at the age of twenty-five. If Her Royal Highness is not happy with the marriage that Her Royal Highness likes, then even if Her Royal Highness is married by force, Her Highness Princess will not be happy..." Earl Kenmes talked eloquently.
Grand Duke Feisabrun nodded, but his eyes were on Lorist: "You are right, Earl. I promise this little girl Sylvia that she will make her own decisions about her marriage. I just want to see if the other party is sincere. Be married to our House of Fesabrun."
"Hehe, Great Swordsman Fesabrun, I don't agree with that." It was the second-level Great Swordsman sitting next to Little Prince Doc who spoke: "We are nobles, and the marriage of noble children has always been decided by the family. Only civilians, as the earl said just now, get together and get along with each other if they see the right way. Born as nobles, enjoying the glory and wealth of the family, their marriage is not their own business when they grow up , you must consider the family, and be prepared to sacrifice for the family's interests, and you don't need to care about your personal happiness."
"Well, what the great swordsman Limad said is very reasonable." Grand Duke Fesabrun nodded while stroking his beard.
Earl Kenmes spoke again: "His Royal Highness, if Princess Sylvia likes it herself, and can take into account the interests of the Feisabrun family, so that the Feisabrun family can have another strong support, then such a marriage is the most important thing." Even if it is perfect, Her Royal Highness will feel happy."
"Hahaha, what the Earl said is so right. In this way, the best match for Princess Sylvia is our little prince. Your Royal Highness, look at our little prince, who is handsome and handsome. Bravery. His Royal Highness the Prince personally led the troops to the city of Federica in the Kingdom of Ridleys before our Allied Forces of the Four Principalities dispatched troops last year, and finally conquered the strong city and wiped out the remnants of His Royal Highness Ogesello. Our little prince immediately Made a lot of achievements.
If His Royal Highness is willing to get married with our Forondo Kingdom, then our four central duchies have always been one, and the Feisabrun family will have four more reinforcements. This marriage can be said to be the best arrangement for Goddess Silver Moon. As for Princess Sylvia, I am sure she will fall in love with our little prince after meeting her. Although our little prince's talent in fighting spirit is not as good as that of His Royal Highness, our little prince's literary talent is very famous in our principality. I believe that after getting in touch with Princess Sylvia, she will definitely appreciate and admire the talent of our little prince... "
Well, no one expected that Limad, a second-level great swordsman, would say such flattering words in public without blushing at all. Even Grand Duke Feisabrun was a little stunned. But the little prince Doc who was praised took it for granted and looked complacent, with his head held high, his eyes tilted up at a 45-degree angle, and he didn't know what was worthy of his attention and study on the zenith of the side hall.
Lorist laughed dumbfounded. This is just a spoiled kid who is used to flattery and doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.
Sure enough, a heavy snort came from the side of the little prince Doc: "The little prince still kissed the front line? No way, why didn't I see a side of the Forendo family when I looked back and called for reinforcements when I was soaked in blood and captured the city?" flag?"
The person who said this was Earl Dalek of the Principality of Sabaji. Although the four principalities were allies, as the Earl of the Principality of Sabaji, he didn't need to give the little prince of the Principality of Forendo any face. If the great swordsman Limad was just flattering Little Prince Doc, he would be too lazy to say anything. But the Great Swordsman Limad exaggerated too much, especially when he brought up the battle to capture King Federica's city, he was not happy.
"Hehe, Brother Dalek, you bravely won the three armies in the front, and the feat of being the first to attack King Frederica City will not be forgotten. But your Principality of Sabaji is mainly attacking the North City, and our Principality of Forondo It's normal for you not to see us when you are at the South City Gate..." This is the golden three-star knight who came with the little prince Doc and stood up to make amends.
However, Earl Dalek of the Principality of Sabaji looked at him very strangely: "South City? Isn't that the territory that the army of the Commercial Alliance is in charge of? Why are you running there? No wonder we cleared up the resistance in the entire Royal City and opened the South City Gate to release The army of the Business Alliance came in and saw your troops from the Duchy of Forendo... ",
"Pfft..." Baron Felim and Baron Shaheen couldn't bear it, and spit out the wine from their mouths.
The three-star gold knight, whose face was flushed red by Earl Dalek's words, was worried that he would not be able to get off the stage. Seeing this situation, he quickly shifted the target of his anger. He glared at Baron Felim and Baron Shaheen angrily, and shouted, "What are you laughing at?"
"Huh?" Baron Felim's eyes flashed coldly. He was not afraid of the Duchy of Forendor. He was about to speak but was robbed by Baron Shaheen beside him: "Oh, so we came to participate in the Grand Duke Fessabrun Whether you want to laugh or not, you still need the consent of the Duchy of Forendor to hold the knight tournament..."
As soon as the yin and yang words came out, the three-star gold knight suddenly came to his senses. This was a banquet hosted by the Grand Duke Fesabrun to welcome them, and it was not in the Duchy of Forendo. This was not a place for them to run wild. Taking a sneak peek, I saw that the face of the Grand Duke Fesabrun sitting at the top was sinking like water, and then looked at the two golden knights of the Fessabrun family at the bottom, also staring at him with angry faces...
Fortunately, at this moment, the great swordsman Limad stood up and relieved him: "If you drink too much, be honest, even if the wine His Royal Highness gave us is really delicious, don't drink so much and lose your temper. It's a shame. As a Golden Knight, you should go to the martial arts tournament to practice what you have, instead of just showing off your tongue here. Grand Duke, I am very sorry... "
Grand Duke Fesabrun waved his hand: "Forget it, it's okay. But I heard that you captured King Federica last year and wiped out the remnants of His Royal Highness's troops. Can you tell us the details of this battle?"
"Very happy, His Royal Highness." said the great swordsman Limad.
