"Your countenance is always so solemn and beautiful. Seviala muttered, reaching out to touch her daughter's cheek, but was bounced away by the circle set up in the coffin, she frowned and continued to whisper, "You were born for the Reagan family and the empire, I saw your efforts, you wanted to break through the shackles of fate, but in the end..."

The old man could not continue her words, and his cloudy eyes were filled with tears.

Phyllis also quietly looked at her sister lying in the coffin, her heart felt like someone was grabbing at the moment, and the feeling of suffocation made her speed up the pace of breathing.

At this moment, Phyllis finally believes in the fact of Penny's death.

"Why bother?" whispered Phyllis.

"yes, why bother?" Saviara suddenly regretted that she had sponsored Penny, "Why didn't I persuade you to let go in the first place, but..."

"I'm going to have a great funeral for you!" said Saviara to herself, as well as to the knights of the nearby kingdoms.

"Madame, in Your Majesty's announcement, Her Highness Penny has been killed in the war at the Lion Castle. Wren's eyelids jumped uncontrollably at Saviara's words, and although he knew very well that refuting the old lady would provoke the anger of the other party, his duty made him have to explain it bluntly.

Saviara stared at Wren with her eyes and was about to get angry, Phyllis stretched out her hand and dragged her mother to death, the old lady's anger was forced to explode by her, but the coldness in her eyes still existed.

"Even if you die in the fire, there should be a funeral. The old lady gritted her teeth and spat out these words.

"His Majesty has held a funeral for Her Highness Penny in Suker City, and everyone knows that Her Highness Penny is now buried with her deceased husband in the Imperial Royal Cemetery. Wren did not flinch from the old lady's anger.

"It's disgusting politics, my daughter was used by you when she was alive, and now that she is dead, she can't escape this fate. Saviara trembled with anger.

"Old lady..."

"I understand, I'm not going to make it hard for you. For some reason, the old lady's anger subsided suddenly, "Go and tell your king that I am going to buy the Golden Coastline, and that I am going to build a splendid palace for my daughter there." ”

"Your Majesty's order is to bring Her Highness Penny home..."

"I'll never step out of the Golden Coast again, it's my home and it's my daughter's home. Saviara had no intention of backing down, and her resolute attitude made Wren not know what to do for a while.

"Wren, go back and tell Brother Pedi that this matter is a joint decision between me and my mother, and we implore him to agree. Phyllis interjected as Wren was embarrassed, "You tell Brother Pedy that if he doesn't agree, I'll go to Suke City and lobby until he agrees." ”

Wren felt only a throbbing pain in his scalp, and as he looked at the coffin that had been reclosed under Phyllis's magic, he turned his head and waved at his lieutenant, Pikechi.

...

For most of the low-level civilians in Sukh City, since the Lion Castle's lion banner was lowered, they rarely paid attention to whose battle flag flew overhead, because from that time on, most people had to fight for their livelihood.

Yes, in the past five years, as the most prosperous city on the continent of Ailan, nearly half of its residents have not been able to eat enough.

With the exception of the insensitive low-class inhabitants, most of the middle class in Sukh City were actually very welcoming of the rule of the Kingdom of Kruria.

This is also the main reason why the Elven Kingdom ceded Suk City to the Krulian Kingdom at that time, but the nobles of Suk Plains once again walked into the abyss because of the wrong decision of the ruling class.

The city of Suke under the rule of the Giant Bear Battle Banner, because of the propaganda that McGonagall Tano spared in his last life, dispelled the suspicion of most of the low-level residents, except for the sporadic citizens who were brainwashed by the city council at the beginning to attack the Confederate garrison, the whole city was deliberately maintained by the former imperial nobles in the past few days.

Outside the Morning Market near the city gates, countless workers who had lost their jobs due to the war lined up to register, and in the countless meeting halls set up in several nearby buildings, the Kruling merchants, the Iruk Merchants, the Twak Highland merchants, a few goblin merchants, and the Orc Chamber of Commerce gathered to listen to the officials of the King's Office and read out the Royal Government's plan for rebuilding the economic system of Suke City.

The merchants were completely devoid of their usual culture and grace at this moment, and the sound of quarrels could spread to the nearby Central Street, and from time to time there was foul language scolding the mother.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the silent city slowly turned to a noisy city as usual, and countless laborers were busy rebuilding around the war-damaged ruins, and mages pushed monitoring devices equipped with pulleys to monitor the city for evil energy and repair the broken roads as they checked for the city's infection.

On the busy central street, a group of nobles in fresh clothes and angry horses, escorted by knights, slowly made their way to the south gate, the new ruler of Sukh City, his generals and new loyalists.

Pedi is definitely a unique and dazzling existence in Suke City now, he is wearing a golden crown on his head under the giant bear battle flag, and the cloak embroidered with the giant bear family crest is casually placed on his body, and his tall body and resolute face make the citizens on both sides of the road who hate him or revere him involuntarily bow their heads.

Staying indoors for five days and nights in a row gave Pei Di a special feeling of comfort at the moment, and on his tall horse, he could clearly see the pedestrians on both sides of the street and the busy construction site in the distance, and the wide vision and noisy sounds made the smile on his face unconsciously appear.

At this time, the city of Suk has regained its former vitality, and it is not as lifeless as it was during the previous war.

Pedi smiled and said to the people around him, "It's still more beautiful to be peaceful in Suke City." ”

"Under your rule, the city of Sukh will be at peace forever. Mondstadt-Jean was the first to chim, "I've had enough of war for the last five years, and it's been a long time since I've seen a home rebuilt in tranquility. His words were full of sighs, "War brings only endless pain." ”

During the war between the Empire and the Elven Kingdom, Mondstadt-Jean followed the advice of his advisors to kill his father in order to preserve the family's continuity, giving the Jean family a chance to survive in the cracks. But now he is standing in Suker City as a human duke, which is an absolutely difficult fact for young Mondstadt Jean to accept.

"Except for the cursed undead, no one likes war. "Andy Barrett looked at the peaceful city of Sooke, and his mind couldn't help but think of his father and brother who died in the Highland War, in a sense, he was also a 'patricide' and a 'brother killer'.

"From the beginning of the Orc War to the present, so much has happened on this continent in five years. Dean Celter, the newly arrived commander of the Mage Tower, glanced at the orc prince Ribalo beside him.

"You betrayed us three hundred years ago, otherwise there wouldn't have been the Great War five years ago. Ribalo retorted unceremoniously.

"You have used forbidden spells three times in a row in war, and you have even sacrificed spells with the lives of your own warriors. Dean Celt sneered, "Your priests will use these unseemly spells. ”

"Dear Lord Dean Celt, you'd better not challenge an orc's honor, or you'll pay dearly. "Orcs don't look down on people who are hostile to them.

"Hey, both. Andy Barrett looked at his cousin's look at him, and immediately turned his head to look at the two who were about to argue, "Now we are allies, we have a common enemy. He pointed to the south, "Now that an army of millions of undead is invading Feldland, your quarrel is indirectly aiding the undead legion. ”

The two people in the quarrel frowned one after another when they heard these words, and the accusatory eyes of the surrounding nobles and generals made them all subconsciously shut their mouths.

"I'm sorry, I'm too sensitive. The Orc Prince apologized first.

"I have no intention of destroying our alliance. Dean Celt followed suit.

"Our alliance was bought with the lives of countless warriors, think of the robes who fell in a pool of blood. Pei Di looked up at the giant bear banner flying in the sun, "Peace is not easy to come by, everyone!"

"Yes, it was not easy for us to be able to walk side by side today. Temple-Bob, who was on the edge of the line, took a deep breath, "The price we've paid for this is just too great. ”

"But that's all in the past. The smile on Pedy's face swept away the gloom as he pointed in the direction of the city gate, "Let's enjoy this hard-won peace today, a great hunt is waiting for us." ”

"And a bonfire in the evening!" Andy Barrett chimed in.

...

The royal hunting ground to the west of Sook City is very large, encompassing two jungles and a wide wild grassland.

After a five-hour journey, Pedi and his generals and new followers, as well as other Confederate officers and nobles, finally reached the outskirts of the hunting grounds.

While the soldiers and laborers were setting up barracks in the existing barracks, the nobles and the king rested for a while and then entered the hunting quarters, accompanied by their retinues.

Pedi also put down the majesty and reserve of the king at this moment, he wore a very ordinary hunting leather armor, ran wild in the grassland of the hunting grounds, and immediately raised his short bow to shoot without even aiming at the prey.

He wasn't hunting at all, he was venting.

Two hours later, when the horse was too tired to run and slowed down, Pedi stopped venting.

On a high slope with a wide view, Peidi looked out at the vast grassland, the endless grassland and the blue sky, which made him feel more comfortable.

"Rory!" Peddy called to his servant, "where's my wine?"

Rory Greda took a leather from the horse that carried the baggage and handed it to his king, and placed the new arrow into the quiver in the king's saddle.

"What about my prey?" said Pedi, who took a sip of cool highland ale and looked around at the guards to his left and right, only to find that each of them had empty hands.

"Your Majesty, so far you have not shot a single prey. Willie Jon shrugged.

"How is that possible?" Peddy's eyes widened, "I shot out of two quiver arrows. ”

"Maybe you should re-hone your marksmanship. Willie Jon had a serious expression.

"It's a fucking life. Pedi looked at the red sun that was falling in space and asked, "What time is it?"

"Four o'clock in the afternoon. Willy-Jon said with a blank face, "If you don't find a way to get some prey, we'll go home empty-handed." ”

"Isn't there a herd of wild deer up ahead?" said Pedy, gesturing to the herd of wild deer beside the steppe bushes ahead, "and it's time to pledge your allegiance to the King, Sir Jon... I need you to help me hunt a wild deer now. ”

"It is my pleasure, Your Majesty. Willy-Jon bowed and removed the bow from his saddle, calling the two knights to walk gently.

Pedi turned over and dismounted, moving his body, which was a little uncomfortable because of the long galloping of the horse.

"I need to rest here for a while. "When he has nothing to do, Pedi always tries to be lazy.

The knight immediately took the blanket from the baggage horse and spread it on the grass, put down the simple wooden table, skillfully placed the dried fruits, and finally took off the herb bag and sprinkled the herb powder to disperse the mosquitoes.

The other guards spread out under the orders of the squad commanders to form a tight cordon, and the mages found a place to place their magic devices to detect the fluctuations of magic energy around them.

Half-lying on the blanket, Pedi grabbed the dried fruit from the small wooden table and began to enjoy it with ale.

The afternoon rays of the sun and the breeze made people drowsy, so in order not to fall asleep, Pedi picked up his lookout and watched Willy Jon's hunt ahead.

Willy-Jon had jumped off his mount and lurked beside a bush, waiting for the moment to kill with one blow.

"Your Majesty, someone is coming. Ron Gredar whispered a reminder when Pedy was in high spirits.

"Gods above, don't these damn fellows give me any free time!" said Pedi grumbling as he threw his goggles aside, turning his head to look behind him.

It was Temple-Bob's and his bodyguards, who were stopped by two knights of the King's Bodyguard, trying to explain something.

"Let Marquis Bob come over... Just let him come alone. Pedy gave a word to his squire and picked up the lookout glasses, but by this moment Willy-Jon had already done it, and was instructing the two knights to drag their prey and use their spears to drive away the hyenas who were going to pick up cheap.

"It's boring. Pedi shook his head as he threw down his goggles, and Temple-Bob was close by the time he lowered them.

"Your Majesty. Perhaps because the king was seated at the moment, Temple-Bob was bent so that his head was almost level with the ground on the slope, and he did not dare to straighten up after saluting, but could only maintain the movement of bending.
