"Locke, take a break, you see you're sweating all over." Princess Sylvia thoughtfully wiped the sweat off Lorist's forehead with a linen towel.
When Lorist insisted on marrying him and did not hesitate to fall out with the family's important ministers, he even held a meeting to scold those civil officials and family knights who expressed disapproval of the marriage, and strongly suppressed all objections within the family. , and then passed it to Princess Sylvia's ears through the mouths of the maids in the castle. Princess Sylvia was so moved by Lorist's friendship for her, as if she was rejuvenated. , swept away the decadence and sorrow when I first came.
With the change of mood and normal diet, Princess Sylvia's sleep condition has also improved a lot, instead of requiring Lorist to stay by her side and watch her every day to fall asleep as before, and to hold her her hand, otherwise she would panic and had to see Lorist to be at ease. After all, she has the foundation of the golden two-star dou qi. When Princess Silvia found out that her lover loved her as always, she really let go of her heart. Once the psychological problems were gone, her body seemed to be healthy every day, and she quickly recovered her amazing beauty.
However, Princess Sylvia's obsession with Lorist is still there, which makes Lorist hate himself for being in a cocoon. It wasn't that he didn't have the chance to have a good time with Princess Sylvia. One night Lorist kissed Princess Sylvia so passionately that his eyes were blurred and he was willing to fall in love with Lorist. It's just that Lorist's mental retardation restrained his desire, and said affectionately that he would eat her slowly after the big wedding. The best moment should be saved for the most important and memorable night in their lives...
So, Lorist asked for trouble, and had been holding back for more than two months after returning to Rock Castle. Although Diliana and the two concubines who returned from the family's New Year still lived in the castle, the problem was that Lorist had no time to steal. He is currently living in the room next to Princess Sylvia's, and he has neither the same room nor the same bed, but the two beds are facing each other. Princess Sylvia had to say good night to Lorist every night before she could sleep peacefully, and she slept very lightly, and would wake up at the slightest movement to seek comfort from Lorist.
Once an urgent military situation came in the middle of the night, and Lorist went to the study to deal with it. But it was a false alarm. A newly formed town defense team in Hongheyuan went to the Black Forest for training and strayed into the forest and lost its way. It was reported that it might have been attacked by mountain barbarians. As a result, Rock Castle prepared for battle overnight. In the end, after waiting for an hour, the garrison came back out of the Black Forest by itself. Lorist, who was relieved, left the study only to find that Princess Sylvia was huddled in a nightgown and her maid in the small reception room outside the study. The maid said that Princess Sylvia woke up in the middle of the night and found that Lorist was not there. She was very panicked and insisted on looking for him. When she got outside the study, she knew that this place was a confidential place and no one else was allowed to enter, so she waited in the small reception room until now.
Looking at Princess Sylvia's eyes that were both terrified and delighted to see him, Lorist had no choice but to give up the idea of taking the opportunity to find two concubines, and accompanied her back to the bedroom to watch her fall asleep again. rest...
Every morning, I saw Princess Sylvia's smiling face. After having breakfast with her, I went to the study to handle official business. During this period of time, the family is reorganizing and expanding the four guard regiments. Even though the two barons Farea and Berunek are in charge and in charge, the promotion and transfer of some family knights, the new guard battalion commander, and the list of candidates for the head of the regiment Lorist's approval is still needed for other important matters. And Lorist also needs to meet these family knights who have been appointed to new positions to understand, in addition to the construction of the Golden Ridge Fortress and the progress of gold mining, the planning, adjustment and construction of the entire transportation and road facilities in the Northland, etc., he is very busy. Sometimes Lorist doesn't even bother to eat lunch.
But no matter what, Lorist still had to have dinner with Princess Silvia every night. And accompanied by Diliana and two other concubines Daisy and Maria. There is also Fenna Galli who went to the new territory of Baron Dina in Dremke Province with her sister Aridoli and has not returned yet. Diliana already had a one-year-old son who was nearly two years old, so she focused on the little baby and didn't care much about Lorist. And Daisy and Maria looked at Lorist with resentful eyes. It has been more than two months since they came back from the family, and Lorist has never patronized them...
Lorist also had hardships, and he was also uncomfortable, but he really didn't have time to steal. He was very busy during the day, but he was so affectionate with Princess Sylvia at night. Save a moment for the big wedding day. Now even Princess Sylvia has become more reserved. When Lorist couldn't help taking off her clothes even touching and kissing her, she would always ask with tears in her eyes: "Loke, you don't love me?" Didn't you say you'd wait until the best day for the two of us?"
Lorist slapped himself hard, well, don't say anything, just turn off the fire first. Seeing that he couldn't eat, Lorist felt itchy, and sometimes when he saw Princess Sylvia fell asleep, he wished he could climb into the bed of the two maids next door. If he hadn't been afraid of waking up Princess Sylvia, he might have really done this.
This day can't be passed. Lorist counted the days on his fingers, why was he so stupid, he chose November for his wedding day, and now it's only July, yes, he still has to endure.
However, it was rare to be free today. After having breakfast with Princess Sylvia in the morning, Lorist went to the Back Mountain Training Ground. Today is the first day of Shi Huade's official retreat here to practice Danhai Yinqi Art. Because of Reddy's example, Lorist was able to teach him very well. He taught Schwader some key points of cultivation before leaving after confirming that his cultivation was correct.
Now following Lorist is Genorio, the eldest son of Sambawood, the commander of the Marine Corps. The promise he once said to accept his son as an apprentice. Schwader has been taking him for a month, making him familiar with what to do as Lorist's attendant.
Although Genorio was only sixteen years old, he was very tall. Lorist was around 1.86 meters, but Genorio was 2.06 meters, a full twenty centimeters taller than Lorist. And not thin, with thick bones, the whole person looks very strong. This made Lorist a little unhappy. Schwader is just under 1.8 meters, and he sometimes expresses his appreciation for the convenience of stroking his hair and patting his shoulder. Damn, Genorio is so tall, do you have to lift your feet if you want to touch his hair
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Genorio, who looked at the thick and thick, could write extremely beautiful handwriting, which directly overturned Lorist's previous suspicion that the letters he wrote to Schwader were all ghostwritten by his mother, and It was only after taking the test that he discovered that his literary level was very good, so good that even Lorist felt ashamed to be inferior.
Lorist asked him curiously how he learned it, and the honest Genorio told the truth, it was his teacher who taught him. In fact, it was very simple. When Sembawood was serving the Norton family loyally, he remembered Lorist's promise to accept Genorio as his apprentice. Of course, he also knew that Lorist said these words to reassure him. However, he knew that he was a pirate, and he was afraid of being looked down upon by others in the family, so he set his mind on his son. Semba Wood thought very shrewdly, as long as his eldest son really became Lorist's apprentice, then his position in the family would be truly secure.
So Sembawood wanted to train Genorio to become a talent so as to get Lorist's favor. It can be said that it has taken a lot of effort to exercise his body, sharpen his will, and train him in traditional knight etiquette since he was a child. It wasn't until when Genorio was twelve years old that he heard Bodfinger brag about how his son Schwader loved reading and learning when he was a child at a family knight gathering in Sambawood, and he discovered his love for Lorist. In addition to his physical fitness, his son is also at the level of literacy.
No, Genorio has to be a man of both civil and military skills, not inferior to Schwader, in order to please Lorist, so Semba Wood began to look for learned talents to teach Genorio. It's just that I haven't found the right one after choosing for a long time. Either too young or too old. Too old and not well-known, Semba Wood thinks that they have no talent to make a living, and too young Semba Wood can't believe that his wife is a beauty. Looking at these young fair faces makes people feel uneasy. As a The captain of the Marine Corps will go to sea for a month or two. It is too dangerous to ask these young boys to be his son's private teacher to spend time with his wife at home...
Finally, Sambawood found a female teacher for Genorio, who was only eight years older than him, very young and very beautiful. It is said that her father was a well-known academician, but unfortunately died of illness during the imperial civil war, leaving orphans, daughters and widows to depend on each other. Sambawood was moved when he heard that the girl was probably as knowledgeable as her father, and hired her with a high salary to become Genorio's private literature teacher.
The level of the female teacher is really high. She taught Genorio for four years and made him a well-trained literary talent. Four years of getting along has made Genorio from respect to admiration, and finally fell in love with his teacher hopelessly. For example, his ability to write elegant and beautiful calligraphy is due to imitating the calligraphy written by his teacher for a long time.
"Your female teacher is really good. She can teach you like this. By the way, Genorio, do you really like your female teacher? In fact, it is not a problem to be eight years old. I am your teacher now , I can help you think of a way." Lorist was teasing him.
Genorio smiled wryly and said, "Thank you teacher, no need, she has become my father's concubine..."
Uh... This is such an unexpected ending, Lorist was speechless and could only pat Genorio on the back to express his comfort.
After returning from the Houshan training ground, I had lunch with Princess Sylvia and strolled around the garden, and soon it was tea time. Princess Sylvia likes the son Diliana gave birth to Lorist very much, and has been teasing this little one. Lorist was very happy that Princess Sylvia got along well with his concubines. The three maids also knew that it was a foregone conclusion that Princess Sylvia would become the mistress of the Norton family, and they were all happy to establish a good relationship with her. It's just that she has been bullying Lorist to prevent him from getting along with the three concubines in private, but it also caused Lorist a lot of headaches.
As nothing happened, Lorist asked Genorio to practice some basic swordsmanship, and pointed out some of the deficiencies, satisfying the teacher's addiction. I personally went off to demonstrate a few times, sweating all over.
"My lord, Lord Baron Kedan, please see me." Just as Princess Sylvia was affectionately wiping the sweat off Lorist's head, a guard came to report.
Since Director Hanske became the governor of Xilovas Island, Director Kedan took over his statistics department, and together with the personnel supervision department that he was originally in charge of, they have always been busy non-stop. Come to see Lorist today, could it be that something happened in the family territory
Director Hanske, Director Speer, and Director Kedan are all old people from Maplewood Villa, and they are the three major administrative talents trained by the former Norton family chief Kress for the family. After Lorist took over the family territory and title, Director Kedan was the first to express his closeness and loyalty to Lorist.
Director Kedan was also the only one among the three directors who did not express any objection to Lorist's decision to marry Princess Sylvia. After paying homage to Lorist in the study, he showed a wry smile and a helpless expression: "Your Highness, Mrs. Irina asked me to remind you not to forget the promise back then..."
kindness? What's the matter with Guan Yilinna? Is it worth Director Kedan's trip in person? Lorist thought for a moment.
In the past two years, the relationship between Lorist and Elina has deteriorated rapidly. As the only maid who was carried to bed after Lorist returned to the family territory, she was also the first maid who gave birth to two sons for Lorist. Concubine, Irina should have been trusted and favored by Lorist, but unfortunately Irina has a quirk, she refuses to leave Fenglin Villa even if she dies. While Lorist has been running around to expand his power and develop his territory, the importance of Maplewood Villa in the Norton family's territory has also continued to decline. Up to now, the original castle manor in the Norton family territory has almost become a forgotten corner, and it has also become Elina's private domain.
The reason why Lorist and Elina fell out was because of their eldest son, Leskett. The eight-year-old Leskett had been doted on by Elina and became a lawless bully. Lorist was so angry that he beat him up, took him away from Maplewood Villa and threw him to Malek's house to be taught by his wife, but Elina cried loudly and refused to stop, and was severely warned by Lorist Only by depriving Leskett of her qualifications as the first heir did she restrain herself.
Then Elina shed tears in Fenglin Villa, hating Lorist for taking her precious son away from her, and at the same time overeating, she became twice as fat in less than two years. Last year, Lorist went to a Went to Fenglin Villa, only to find that she had become a big ball.
"Your Highness, Elina's father is also a knight of the family. He took good care of us when we were young. After he died heroically for the family, the family adopted her. Because of this friendship, Baron Hansk was so active this time. You took the lead in opposing your marriage with Princess Sylvia. I was entrusted by her to remind Your Highness that the promise I made back then will not change Lesket’s ranking as the first heir." Director Kedan Helplessly explained.
Lorist suddenly understood everything. The reason is that Elina was worried that after marrying Princess Sylvia, she would deprive Lescott of his inheritance rights after marrying Princess Sylvia. After all, her identity was Lorist. Although the concubine of his concubine, like Lescott, is recorded in the genealogy, compared with the children born to his main wife, his status is much lower...
"Ah..." Lorist sighed, what's the matter, I'm still alive and well, someone is already concerned about the inheritance. You must know that if you become a Juggernaut, you will only live longer than your son. To put it bluntly, it is not surprising that the Juggernaut gave his grandson in his seventies and eighties to die.
"Go and tell Elina to let her stay in Fenglin Villa and stop thinking about it. At the end of this year, at the New Year's celebration, I will make her a baron for life, and Fenglin Villa will become her fiefdom, waiting for her a hundred years later Then it will be taken back by the family. I hope she can live happily in Fenglin Villa for the rest of her life. As for the son, the older one has changed a lot now. When he is twelve years old, I will send him to Nicole Academy. He went back to Maplewood to reunite the mother and son. Now she is with the younger one, and I hope I won't be spoiled like Lescott again. So be it, Baron Cordan."
"Yes, Your Highness."
