On the day when Sheen met Ai and welcomed Ai into Razahad's house, in one of the noble residences in the royal capital, a meeting that was about to be closely related to Sheen was also going on.
This aristocratic mansion is the villa of the Sterling family in the capital.
Sterling is a duke family of the Mithra Kingdom, and a nobleman whose power and power are recognized as relatively large in the duke family.
Its territory is in the north of the kingdom, on the border, and borders with the neighboring Ragnar Empire. As the border nobles, they have always guarded the territory for the kingdom. In the past, the Ragnar Empire’s several offensives were defeated. , Quite capable.
In addition, the Sterling family is still the duke's family, and the royal family's collaterals. Although the blood relationship has been very indifferent, there is no doubt that Sterling's ancestors were once members of the royal family.
Therefore, even the current king has to be called the elder brother of the Patriarch of the Strim family. Of course, the power of this family is completely needless to say, even if compared with the Razahad family and the Elbein family, it is not much better. .
Under such circumstances, Barry, the owner of the contemporary Sterling family, has a very good son.
His name is Limjo Strim. He is twenty-five years old this year. However, he came to the royal capital two years ago through the recommendation of the Strim family, joined the Knights of the Guards, and became a A guardian knight who guards the royal family and the kingdom.
To join the Knights of Guards, you must either be invited by the royal family, or you must have a rank higher than seventy, and be strongly recommended by the nobles.
In other words, as early as two years ago, when he was only twenty-three years old, Limjo had successfully promoted to level seventy.
In the past two years, there are rumors claiming that Limjoo's level has exceeded seventy-five, and that he has acquired the [Magic Sword] skill, and has become one of the best players among the guard knights.
With this talent, Limjo was even called the "Second Alidia" by some good people.
In other words, in the eyes of some people, Limjoo's future achievements are likely to be able to catch up with Alidia and become the strongest legendary knight in the kingdom.
This villa is actually owned by Limjo, but it is not used very often.
After all, the base camp of the Knights is in the North District. Even Limjoo usually lives in the Knights' Camp in the North District. The chances of this villa being used naturally become very few.
But today, the heavily armed Limjo appeared here.
Because someone told him that his father had come to the royal capital from a remote border territory and was going to see him.
At this time, Limjo appeared in the villa and walked in the direction of the study.
He is a tall and robust man with a height of more than one hundred and ninety centimeters, blond and blue eyes, and a handsome face, like a prince.
Such a look, coupled with his own achievements, makes Limjow a great reputation in the Knights of Guards, and his popularity in the royal capital and the Duke of Stirrim is also very high, not the kind of Rosie. If the popularity is outside the specification, Limjo's popularity can definitely be ranked in the top five of the entire kingdom.
In this way, he was even called to be the next head of the Knights of Guards, and he was a hot talent in the royal capital.
Now Limjo came to the study room of the villa and saw his father.
"It's been a long time, father."
Limjoo saluted his father, who was standing by the window, with his back to this side.
"coming?"
The other party turned around, letting his whole picture be exposed in front of Limjoh's eyes.
A neat military uniform without the slightest wrinkle.
The back is straight, and the posture is extremely tall.
His appearance is only forty or so. Although he has a beard, his beard is neatly arranged.
This is the contemporary Patriarch of the Sterling House-Barry Sterling.
"Do you know what I am looking for you for?"
Barry didn't have any muddle-headedness, let alone the slightest sense of coldness. Even if it was his own son, he and his son hadn't seen each other for a long time. He went straight into the subject as if he were on business.
Limjo looked at his father who hadn't changed anything, a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes.
His father was like this. He had never talked about personal affair with his children. Even the marriage partner was the daughter of another nobleman who was chosen by the family without any emotional foundation. After the two got married, they gave birth to Li as a routine matter. Mjo, then separated in two places.
Therefore, there is basically no relationship between Limjo and Barry, some are just called father and son, but the way they get along is no different from that of ordinary superiors.
It's the same now. The father didn't talk about any personal affair with his son, and went straight into the subject. The son didn't have to look at the father with his father's eyes, just treating the person in front of him as a superior.
Therefore, Limjo knows the purpose of this father who never talks about emotions.
"Is it because of His Royal Highness Rosie Rusty?"
Limjo mentioned so.
"That's right." Ba inside said blankly: "Remember what I sent you to the royal capital to let you join the Knights of Guards?"
"Of course." Limjoo said without hesitation: "The purpose is to get close to His Royal Highness Rosie Rusti, and finally get married with His Royal Highness."
Yes.
Limjo will be here, just for this purpose.
"His Royal Highness is the only one who has been recognized by the Holy Sword in thousands of years, and has also been blessed by the goddess of destiny among the three goddesses. His talent and potential are no less than the descendants of the brave ancestors of the founding ancestors." Barry said coldly: "Her talent, even Let her be hailed as the supreme and modern brave of the kingdom. If she can become the husband-in-law of her Royal Highness, the bloodline of the brave brave of my Strim family's gradual indifference will surely be recovered and returned to the center of the kingdom."
The so-called dukes seem to be the highest-ranking nobles in the kingdom at first glance, but strictly speaking, they are actually a group of losers.
Because they were defeated in the battle for the throne, they could only become a sideline of the royal family, were kicked out of the royal family, and became the so-called duke.
The same is true for the family of the Duke of Sterling. His ancestor lost to the king at the time more than 700 years ago, and was given a new surname. The family of the Duke was established, and the territory is also on the border.
Therefore, it seems that the Sterling family seems to be noble, but in fact it has been kicked out of the central authority of the capital for many years.
Such a Strim family has an obsession.
That is, sooner or later, they want to return to the center of the kingdom again, back to the royal capital, and establish a foothold here.
For this reason, since the moment when he was sent to the royal capital two years ago, that is, when the princess was an adult, Limjoo had a mission entrusted by the family.
Marry the princess, combine the blood of the two families, re-enrich the blood of the brave who gradually became indifferent after hundreds of years of dilution in the Strim family, and compete for the kingship.
This is completely feasible.
"With the position of Her Royal Highness Rosie, as long as you perform well enough, the position of the next king, even if it can't fall on your head, can still fall on His Royal Highness Rosie's head. At that time, your two heirs will be With the orthodox royal family, our Strim family can be regarded as returning to the royal capital, regaining the rights and status we lost in the past."
Barry still made a blank statement.
"And you, in the end, no matter how bad you are, you can strive to become the commander of the Knights of Guards, and end the rule of the Knights of Guards by the Elbein family for thousands of years. At that time, whether it is the kingdom or the knights, it will be our Sterling Mu’s."
This is Barry's wishful thinking.
It is a pity that Limjoo has found nothing for two years.
That's all.
Although nothing was gained from the princess, Limjoo has at least established a foothold in the Knights of Guards in the past two years, and Barry does not have much opinion on him.
But it's not working anymore recently.
"I heard that someone in the way appeared."
Barry mentioned a name that all the nobles in the royal capital hated these days.
"It seems to be called Sean, right?"
Hearing that, Limjoo's eyes flickered.
