Now that Princess Sylvia has come to the Rock Castle, Lorist has no choice but to leave the large army behind and hurry back to the family territory. It's just that he was surprised that Princess Sylvia knew so quickly that she had rejected the request made by the Grand Duke Fesabrun and the news that the marriage of the two families had failed. Didn't she come here this time to ask the teacher for a crime
Amidst Earl Kenmes, Baron Shaheen, and Baron Felim's gloating and self-seeking blessings, Lorist took Reddy, Schwader and a dozen guards on a two-horse day and night journey, and it only took three In the next day, I returned to Rock Castle.
Just when she jumped off the horse and hadn't dusted herself off, she saw Princess Sylvia rushing over and hugging Lorist, crying like pear blossoms, Lorist hurriedly apologized: "Sylvia, you're right. . . . "
Before he finished speaking, he saw Princess Sylvia crying loudly: "Woo... woo... Brother Locke, Horix thinks about him, he's just gone, he's less than ten years old... woo... woo..."
kindness? No, who is Horix? It sounds so familiar... It took Lorist a long time to think about it. Horix, isn't he the little prince of the Kingdom of Iberia? It is said that the second prince and queen were imprisoned in the tower by using a fun potion. The product of inheriting the great cause of the kingdom's reproduction, but unfortunately also because of the booster medicine, the little prince was born with a heart defect, that is to say, the heart is not well developed, and the pharmacist said that he would not live to be twenty years old...
After the little prince was born, he was thrown to the Grand Duke Fesabrun, who was not favored by the second prince and queen. The Grand Duke regarded him as a treasure at first, but when he found out that he was terminally ill, he was discouraged and no longer regarded him as his own. Good card. Instead, Princess Sylvia has always brought him by her side and raised him as her own younger brother.
Under the consolation of Lorist, Princess Sylvia finally explained why she didn't go to the knight tourney, weeping. Because Horix died, he left suddenly. The servants thought he was sleeping, and no one knew that he left in his sleep. Until the evening, the servants thought he had slept too long and wanted to wake up When he was there, he realized that he was already cold and lifeless.
Princess Sylvia was devastated when she heard the news in Windbury. She asked the Grand Duke Fesabrun to postpone the knight tourney for two or three months. After all, he is also the orthodox heir of the Kingdom of Iberia. Unexpectedly, the Grand Duke Fesabrunn rejected her request. The Grand Duke Fessabrunn believed that the dead Horix was just a useless little prince. The future, especially the marriage related to Sylvia, must proceed as scheduled. As for the dead Horix, just ask the steward to bury him as a family knight.
Princess Sylvia was very angry, and was deeply disappointed by the indifference and heartlessness of the Grand Duke Fesabrun. After a big fight, she went to her aunt, the queen of the Kingdom of Iberia, and informed the little prince Horix news of his death. Unexpectedly, the queen was even more ruthless. She said indifferently that she did not have a son called Horix. Princess Sylvia was furious, and made a big fuss. She brought her bodyguards and Sandy Great Swordsman back to the family territory of Eastern Wilderness Province, and held a funeral for poor Horix.
But Princess Sylvia, who returned to the Eastern Wilderness Province, found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not give Horix a decent funeral for the prince, because even in the Kingdom of Iberia, the existence of Horix was a taboo term , the queen didn't want to hear this name at all, and most of the nobles thought he didn't exist. Now that he is dead, for the queen and the nobles, it is a sigh of relief, and no one cares about how to deal with the funeral.
Princess Sylvia had no choice but to deal with the funeral of the little prince Horix. During this period, she continued to receive messengers from the Grand Duke Fessabrun, asking her to return to Windbury King City immediately to participate in the knightly competition. Showing up at the conference... Princess Sylvia was very angry and simply ignored the messenger. Only the messenger who came at the end said that if Her Royal Highness doesn't go back, the Grand Duke will personally come to take you back to the royal city.
So Princess Sylvia didn't do anything, and ran away from home. In this way, they came to the Rock Castle in the territory of the Norton family. Because she felt that only her grandfather, Grand Duke Fesabrun, could not bring her back here.
Lorist heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Princess Sylvia didn't come to her door to accuse her because she heard that she had rejected the request of Grand Duke Fessabrun, but for another reason. But soon Lorist began to struggle again, should he tell her that he had rejected the request and could not get the Duke of Feisabrun to agree to the marriage? Seeing Princess Sylvia's emaciated and sad face these days, Lorist wisely closed his mouth, and wait until she is in a better mood before talking about this disappointing and disappointing thing...
Well, in the next month, in order to make Princess Sylvia feel better, Lorist took her to play around, and even went to Hilovas Island, so that Earl Kenmas and his follow-up troops returned to the rock Didn't even bother to greet the castle. Earl Kenmes was so angry that he specially wrote a letter to scold Lorist for being of the opposite sex and inhumane, for being ungrateful for sex and so on.
Lorist shrugged, not paying any attention to Earl Kenmes' accusation. To be honest, he feels deep guilt towards Princess Sylvia now, perhaps because he hasn't told her about his refusal until now, seeing her mood and complexion improve day by day, and her smile It was getting brighter and brighter, and Lorist really didn't want to talk to her about that ruinous thing.
The moonlight is like water, shining thousands of miles of blue waves. The towering bow of Beihai cut through the silvery sea, galloping across the endless sea.
After spending more than half a month on Hilovas Island, Princess Sylvia was finally ready to return to the Northland. During this time, Princess Sylvia was like a little girl who had just fallen in love, becoming more and more attached to Lorist, which also deepened Lorist's sense of guilt. People are not grass, Lorist knew very well that the Grand Duke Fesabrun was a mountain between him and Princess Silvia...
The silver moon is like a disc, hanging on the dark blue sky.
Princess Sylvia leaned on the side of the boat, looked at the sea and said: "Brother Locke, I never thought that the sea would be so beautiful. When I was young, my grandfather took me to a cliff by the sea. That was the first time I saw it." When I got to the sea, I only saw the turbulent waves beating the rocks fiercely with white foam. At that time, the sea was black, and the huge waves hit the shore. It was very windy that day, and I kept holding on tightly. I don’t dare to let go of my grandfather’s clothes. Grandpa said, this is the sea, the endless sea. So I always thought that the sea is so fierce, and going to sea is to risk my life...
Unexpectedly, I went to Hilovas Island with you this time, and I realized that the sea can also be gentle and calm. We can build castles on the beach, collect shells, catch crabs, and play in the water. Unexpected. Look, Brother Locke, the moonlight on the sea is shining like silver phosphorous, so beautiful..."
Lorist said with a smile: "Now it's July, which is the calmest period in the North Sea. If it comes to November, it will be like what you saw when you were a child. The waves are rough and raging. It really became an adventure with my life. Once I returned to the Northland at the end of November, the waves were so high that they hit the deck. Fortunately, our family’s sea ships are extremely strong, so there is no need to worry about being broken... "
Princess Sylvia's eyes were shining with stars: "Brother Locke, you are really amazing."
"Uh..." Lorist rubbed his nose in embarrassment, why did he always feel like he was turning into a strange uncle with a lollipop to lure little Lolita, but to be so beautiful as Princess Sylvia The girl's admiration and liking gave Lorist a very proud sense of accomplishment.
Princess Sylvia leaned close to Lorist, and Lorist's body stiffened in an instant.
"Brother Locke, you haven't told me how you went to the knight tourney..." Princess Sylvia said quietly.
Lorist gritted his teeth, and what should come will always come: "I'm sorry, Sylvia, your grandfather made three requests, and I can't agree to them."
Sylvia sighed faintly: "I knew it, otherwise you wouldn't have accompanied me around like this, would you? Can you tell me what those three requirements are?"
Lorist stated the three requirements without reservation.
Princess Sylvia turned around slowly, staring into Lorist's eyes with star-like bright eyes: "Brother Locke, don't you like me?"
Lorist immediately became hesitant: "Xi, Sylvia, I, I like you very much, really. But it's really not, it's not fair to exile them for marrying you, they are, they are mine. Women and children, I am their man and father, so, so I, I have to be responsible for them... "
Princess Sylvia leaned on Lorist's chest, and hugged him tightly with both hands: "I, I know, Brother Locke, your willingness to agree to my grandfather's first two requests shows that you value me. Very important, the first, the third request to me, I don't blame you, if you agree to it, I will look down on you instead, you are unwilling to be heartless, so you can take responsibility, I, I am really good, I envy them... "
"Don't, don't cry, Xi, Sylvia, yes, it's my fault." Lorist panicked.
Princess Sylvia raised her tear-stained pretty face: "Kiss me..."
Under the silvery moonlight, Lorist and Princess Silvia embraced and kissed each other tightly. In the shadow under the berth, Great Swordsman Sandy let out a deep sigh, and after a while he said: "Sylvia, it's already late at night, it's time to go back to sleep. The sea breeze is very cold, be careful of catching a cold .”
The two parted with admiration. Princess Sylvia's face was flushed from Lorist's painful kiss. She was shy and ran back to the cabin covering her face. Lorist couldn't stop thinking, and cast a displeased glance at the Great Swordsman Sandy in the corner, only to get two chuckles from the other party.
After returning to the Northland, Princess Sylvia said to Lorist: "I'm going back to the family territory. Brother Locke, you agreed to the first two requests of Grandpa, and that is for the Feisabrun family. The three requirements are about my vital interests, and I should make the decision, and I will go and explain it to my grandfather. This requirement should not be an obstacle to our two marriages."
After Princess Sylvia left, Lorist relaxed and inspected the family's territory by the way, before returning to the Rock Castle unhurriedly.
Fatty Shi, who was so busy, rolled his eyes and said, "Traveling with beauty, you are at ease."
Lorist smiled and said, "With you here, I can relax. Tell me, what's important in the family territory now?"
Fatty Shi put down the folder in his hand: "El is getting married, have you forgotten, August 10th is his big day."
That's right, Lorist patted himself on the forehead: "Well, he told me in Windbury King City that after he was promoted to Gold Rank, he would marry the daughter of the Mancheni technician who presides over the glass workshop in the family territory. Wife, the wedding will be held in the knight manor in Hongheyuan issued to him. After the wedding, El will take his new wife to Morente City to visit his uncle and those younger brothers and sisters. I promise Give him three months off."
Fatty Shi grinned grinningly and said: "Very well, we have to give him a generous gift. In addition, when I got married, this guy made such a big noise that I almost couldn't get off the stage. I have remembered this grudge until now, and finally I have a chance to get revenge. Haha, let's see how I can change Bengalli and make him regret it."
Lorist wiped the sweat from his brow, this fat man is enough to hold grudges, the child is eight or nine years old, and he still remembers being embarrassing when he got married! But he didn't intend to take care of it, it was just a joke that everyone had their own measure, and he wouldn't really let El down from the stage.
"Is there anything else?" Lorist asked.
"There are two good news and one bad news." Fatty Shi said.
"What?"
"Ovekis and Doles successfully promoted to the golden rank, my lord, the remaining two knight manors in Hongheyuan also have owners. This is two good news. The bad news is that Jim failed to be promoted, and the pharmacist said that he must at least stay in bed to recuperate It will take half a year to recover."
This... It is a good thing that Ovekis and Dolles have been promoted to the golden rank. important task. Being able to advance to the gold rank now is considered a further step.
As for Dolles, he followed Lorist northward from Dawn Academy and became the builder and leader of the chariot team. He has made great achievements in the past ten years, but it is only because of his silver-level cultivation that he has become more and more formal in the family armed forces. less and less outstanding. Now he has finally been promoted to the golden rank, becoming one of the sixteen golden knights of the current Norton family. As one of Lorist's most trusted people, he will definitely be reused by Lorist.
It's just that the joy of Ovekis and Dolles' success in promotion was diluted by the news of Jim's failure in promotion. Fatty Shi sighed: "Jim is too eager to get it right. He suffered a serious injury in the Kingdom of Haneyabada, and he is ready to be promoted as soon as he recovers from his injury. If he lays a solid foundation in another half a year, he will be more likely to be promoted. Some. My lord, you go and see him, when I visited him the other day, he looked very depressed."
Lorist nodded, and was about to say something when he heard a rush of footsteps outside, followed by Tagle's voice: "My lord..."
"Come in!"
Tagle was a little out of breath: "My lord, my lord, there is an urgent report from the Kingdom of Iberia. On June 30, the four central principalities and the Fesabrunn family jointly sent troops to the Principality of Melein. Due to the blockade of road traffic, half Our intelligence investigators in the Kingdom of Iberia only got the news a month ago, but now the news is that the coalition forces captured the Meishan Castle on July 23, and the Grand Duke Meilein led the army to break through and died in Lyfad. Mount Ma, the Principality of Melain is destroyed."
