"Why, don't you want to?" Haraus, the king of Raldian, raised his head a little impatiently, some gray temples did not affect his image of a golden lion, and a powerful momentum belonging to the king rushed to his face, making Lidarchus, who was half-kneeling below, shiver

"This ...... This is His Majesty the King of Rui Erdian!"

Only then did Lidarchus realize how dangerous the disdainful expression he had just shown was,

Although the current Rui Erdian is declining, the precipitation of the continent's number one power for hundreds of years still makes this old supreme enough to shake the entire continent at any time, as for using some legitimate means to kill a little minion like himself, he can make up more than a thousand reasons, such as inappropriate words and insulting His Majesty the King...... Picking your nose in front of His Majesty the King or something. Wait a minute...... Anyway, it's going to make you die, and you're going to be scolded, "damn it",

Seeing that Lidakus was silent, King Harauth snorted coldly on his throne, "Isn't my genuine princess of the kingdom of Raldian as inferior to the daughter of a retainer? Or do you have some shady behind-the-scenes deal with that guy in Prais? Or will I directly order the execution of the two of you, so that this incident that disgraced the entire Raldian will end in blood? Before I give the order, you better think clearly, this is your only chance to live!"

“...... Is this a forced marriage?

Lidarchus, whose head was full of black lines, knelt underneath, his liver trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his head,

Now I can't understand the meaning of this majesty, then it is really a fool, between death and solar terms, Lidarchus did not hesitate to sell his lord after hesitating for 0.005 seconds,

"No...... "I'm just very pleased and honored that my lord can marry a princess of Ruierdian!, this marriage will definitely make our two countries prosperous......" Lidarchus is worthy of being a clever guy, under the despicable influence of the fat man, changing his face is like changing his mask,

He hurriedly put on a happy expression and saluted King Haraus on the throne, in fact, he had already made a plan in his heart,

Isn't it just a woman, marrying one is also marrying, marrying two is also marrying, not to mention that the princess of Rui Erdian is a genuine royal princess after all, in terms of identity and status, the Jedi is more in line with the identity of the Falcon Dynasty than the daughter of the Prais family,

As for the problem on the side of one's own sovereign, is that still a problem? For the dead fat man who has always liked to be greedy, this kind of one-to-two business is only afraid that he will be even happier

"I just hope it's not an ugly bastard!" Lidarchus muttered to himself,

Of course, it is impossible to bring this up in person, and you can't say to Her Royal Highness who has ruled Rui Erdian for 30 years, "I don't know how Her Royal Highness the princess looks, how much she has measurements, what her personality is, her height, and her weight...... The one that can't be let go of is open and so on."

Lidarchus believed that as soon as his words came out, King Haraus, who was sitting on the throne, would wipe his neck with a sword, but he didn't ask, if he really married back to an ugly monster, the dead fat man might have to wipe his own neck!

"It's difficult" Lidarchus's face was bitter, and he struggled inwardly for a while, but he still felt that the fat man was more terrible than Harlaus,

If you offend King Ruierdian, at most you will be reprimanded a few words, and as the executor of the marriage, you still have a great chance of surviving.

If he offended the dead fat man, Lidarchus had absolutely reason to believe that the dead fat man would retaliate with a means that made his life worse than death, and as for what kind of means, who knows, scrape his feet with feathers and itch to death...... As an old man born in the Samar era, he knows quite a lot about the despicable Cheng dù of the dead fat man.

Thinking of the tragic situation he might face, Lidarchus was completely defeated, and he could only ask boldly at the risk of being beheaded

"I don't know which noble and beautiful princess will marry our Falcon Dynasty this time? I might as well spread this good news back to China as soon as possible, so that the entire Falcon Dynasty will feel extremely honored for the marriage between the two countries!"

Lidarchus especially accentuated the noble and beautiful princess, the tone of these words,,

The meaning of these words is very clear, everything else is not important, the important thing is noble and beautiful, if you want the marriage to be established, Rui Erdian can't send an ugly monster to fill the number!

"This ......"

King Haraus is worthy of being a sophisticated figure, with a long nasal voice in his mouth, his domineering eyes squinting slightly at Lidakus, and his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest of the throne,

This made Lidarchus a little speechless, he could see that the affection for the supreme of Rui Erdian was a whim at all, and he hadn't even decided on a candidate

"Internal Affairs Officer!"

King Haraus shouted to the side door next to him, in fact, King Haraus himself doesn't remember how many princesses he has, princesses are not a scarce but very important resource, and they are used to attract retainers, national marriages, and even armistice agreements, so the royal family's management of princesses has always been special

With a creak, the side door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with curly hair on his head and a big red button-down uniform came out of the side door, his figure was emaciated, and he stopped next to King Haraus and bowed deeply

"Your Majesty, what do you command?"

The internal officer's voice was a little shrill and his face was a little fake, and it could be seen that it was coated with a layer of white powder, which was very reminiscent of some unfashionable special people,

"How many princesses are there in the royal family who are of marriageable age and are not engaged?" Harlaus asked, waving his hand at him

"14-year-old Princess Pojeanent, 16-year-old Princess Liwight......" The internal officer almost did not hesitate to say the names of several royal princesses who were at the appropriate age for marriage, listening to these series of princess names, not only Lidarchus felt a little dizzy, but also King Haraus himself was a little impatient

"Stop!" King Harlaus waved to stop the officer, who was familiar with the business, and asked directly, "which one is the oldest now?"

"It's Her Royal Highness Princess Haraudian!"

The internal affairs officer, who looked like a eunuch, said in his own characteristic shrill voice, "Originally, Princess Haraudian had already made a marriage contract and would complete the marriage in May of this year, but because of the Northern War, the marriage contract was unfortunately killed in battle, and her fiancé died before she could get married, and it was during the funeral, so no family dared to ask for a marriage contract......

"Well, is it Haraudian? It's been two months since that incident, and she's still haunting it......" King Haraus's fingertips tapped on the hard handrail, and his always strong face flashed a hint of hesitation, and at this moment, he was more like a sad father than a king who decided the future of the kingdom

If King Haraus, who has always been busy with state affairs, remembers the appearance of a princess, it is this Princess Haraudian who is most like herself, brave and resolute, fearless and resolute, but unfortunately not a man! This is Harlaus's evaluation of this princess

"It's her" After a long silence, King Harauth's fingers tapping on the armrest stopped, stood up from his throne, and said with determination, "Convey my order, in view of the friendship and stability between the two countries, Princess Haraudian of Raldian is about to marry King Dustan of the Falcon Dynasty, and I ruin her marriage, then give her a man that all women in the continent want to marry, and it can be regarded as a kind of compensation from a father to his daughter!"

"This ...... Isn't it a little too hasty, in any case, Princess Haraudian is the third heir of His Majesty!" The internal affairs officer was a little flustered in surprise,

Haraus gave him a cold look, "Are you going to disobey the king?"

"The subordinates will go and prepare for this matter immediately" The internal affairs officer's face was as frightened as dirt, and he quickly turned to leave

"Yes, it is the honor of our Falcon Dynasty to be able to marry Princess Haraudian!" Lidarchus finally breathed a sigh of relief, the name of Haraudian, the most beautiful princess in Ryordian Kyoto, can be heard even in the upper nobility of Vecchia,

The carrier pigeon with the marriage treaty fluttered its wings from the sky over Parabun and flew through the sky in the direction of Dvalin

Lidarchus was at last able to be at ease, and during the time he received the reply from the dynasty, he went back and forth between his residence and the mansion of Prais on a completely routine basis to discuss matters relating to marriages.

Along the way, there are hundreds of royal knights of the Ruierdian royal family, heavy war horses, and heavily armed heavy armor, which shows the importance that the Ruierdian royal family attaches to this marriage.

Even if some unsightly Paraven nobles want to come to find trouble, they will be quickly sent away by these fierce royal knights.

Lidarchus looked a little bored at the outskirts of Parabun outside the carriage, for in previous years, the plains of Parabun at the beginning of August were full of harvest land, and everywhere was filled with the jubilant atmosphere of harvest season.

In the fertile fields, there are busy people everywhere, the farmers harvest the mature wheat, concentrate on drying it, and return it to the warehouse, and at the same time gather the wheat straw in the field and pile it into a high straw stack, and every household will tie ploughing cattle under the wheat straw stacks, which is the foundation of the farmer's survival.

At this time, it usually rains, and this year, the torrential rain seems to have patronized the Ribogan, and there is not much rain in the entire Paraven Plain, as the wheat producing area of the highlands of the Ikadivar mainland, the towns of Lidi, which are basically not large, but there are many of them, and they are not far apart. It looks like a string of broken pearls,

The largest town has a population of about 100,000. Because this is a plain, there are not many industries other than rice, and all the commercial trade seems to be related to wheat, and the stable wheat production solves the most important problem for the Ruierdian people, but it also makes it a purely grain exporter, and the rest of the land industry has nothing to do with it, somewhat similar to the characteristics of a self-sufficient economy.

The wind blew through the wide and overgrown plains and lowlands, bringing a cold and lonely barrenness, but in August this year the Paraven plain seemed a little special, and it also seemed extremely deserted, except for a large number of horse-drawn carts transporting grain to the outside, all the fields looked very empty, very desolate, except for the scarecrows standing indifferently, and a large number of hungry yellow-faced and thin-skinned Ruierdian farmers,

"It's a dry season, and I've heard that in many areas in the south, there is very little rain!"

Lidarchus heard the whispered chatter of several accompanying knights beside him,

In fact, these royal knights had been designated as Princess Haraudian's guards to escort her to Dvalinburg, so there was not much resistance to this Falcon emissary

"Yes, I also heard that because of the lack of food, there have been peasant rebellions in some small territories, and the main force of the kingdom is now in Parabun, and there is almost no stationing in the local area, and it has spread to several areas in just half a month!"

Another knight replied in a worried voice, "I heard that the rebels will cook and eat the captured lord, because the lord has stripped them of their grain! But there is not much food in the lord's castle, so these mobs will run to other areas to grab food."

"Cannibalism...... It's disgusting!" said a young knight with some tiredness, "where is all the grain? If it weren't for the lord, wouldn't all the grain that had been harvested for less than a month fly away!"

"Hehe, you said that you can transfer food from the local lord, who else" For this young knight who is not familiar with the world, an older knight captain smiled mysteriously at the corner of his mouth,

"You mean the adults in Kyoto, they resell grain......" The young knight opened his mouth in disbelief, such a dirty thing seemed too unreasonable to him,

"Well, there are some things you need to know! Saying it will get you in trouble!" the old knight waved his hand at all the knights, and the conversation outside faded away

Lidarchus withdrew his gaze from outside the carriage, and the conversation of the knights just now made him feel a little emotional,

This year's southern part of Vekia has had a rare bumper harvest, plus a bumper harvest in the northern part of Salander, and the hoarded grain is enough for the current population for 2 years, not counting the livestock of the various ethnic groups in the Kugit steppe.

After several years of development and external expansion, I don't know when, the current Vikia has comprehensively surpassed the original number one power in the mainland, Rui Erdian, in terms of economy and materials, military and equipment

In a golden and beautiful sunset, Haraudian, the princess of Ruierdian, who was dressed in a chain mail long skirt, slowly withdrew the cold knight's sword in her hand from the scabbard, her cold and delicate cheeks were flushed, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in this last glow, like a legendary Valkyrie,

Retracting the knight's sword, Haraudian bent down to a woman in a white dress opposite with an extremely reverent expression, "I'm really sorry, Teacher Ritasaline, I still can't reach the calm heart of advanced swordsmanship",

True peace can often be the center of the least calm, and when you know what this sentence means, you can understand the peace of mind."

The woman in the white dress opposite smiled faintly and hung down the long sword in her hand, her body was slender and plump, revealing the charm of a young woman everywhere, a noble, beautiful, mature, plump woman,

All the people who saw her could feel a sense of indifference, and in the sweeping eyes, it seemed that they had no concern for the mundane things in the world.

The woman in the white dress named Rite Saline is about 26 years old, a full-time swordsmanship teacher for women at the Paravon Academy, and is responsible for the swordsmanship teaching of the royal women.

In Paraven, the kings were known as white tulips, and like Haraudian, they were also the would-be widows who died in the war after the marriage contract was signed.

According to the custom of the Ryordian people, if the person is killed, the marriage contract must be maintained for 3 years before it expires, and if other male members of the marriage family apply to the marriage woman, then the marriage contract will be fulfilled by another male member.

This is done to stabilize the morale of the soldiers fighting in the front, otherwise the thought of dying on the battlefield, their beloved will immediately choose to marry someone else, and no soldier will have the determination to fight, but if it is his own brother, it is still acceptable for the sake of family interests

This point is somewhat similar to the customs of the Kugit people in the northern grasslands, in order to survive in the harsh grasslands, the women of the Kugit are, in a sense, also the property of the entire tribe.

Their marriage and love, as well as the nurturing of offspring, are based on the supremacy of tribal interests.

If the man dies, the woman will immediately remarry with the child, and the man in charge of receiving the woman must also take on the life of the remarried woman and her child, and treat them as if they were his own.

The woman's existence is for the continuation of the tribe, and the man is the backbone of the continuation.

A strong man can have multiple wives at the same time, provided that he has the ability to take care of these women and their offspring, so the Kujiit style of war is extremely brave, because they know that even if they die in battle, their family and descendants will be borne by other people

For the free-spirited Kugit men, all they have to do is herd their cattle and fight bravely so that their women and children don't go hungry

"Well, I heard that your father has found you another betrothed person?" Ritatharen handed her long sword to the maid behind her, and unfastened the chain mail on her body.

"It stands to reason that you haven't had 3 years to get married," Rita Salin frowned slightly, and said lightly, "And although there are other male members of the marriage family, it is impossible for them to suddenly mention the marriage contract again for the noble royal family!"

"So I'm very strange!" Princess Harodian said with a shy face, "I only know that this marriage contract was suddenly decided by my father, and it may be a political marriage, as for which family, I don't know!

"Lu Lin" Ritesarin raised her sleeve hand, and a fair-eyed maid next to her hurriedly walked over, Ritesarin whispered in her ear for a while, and the maid hurriedly nodded and left,

"Teacher, what are you ......?" Princess Harrodian looked at her teacher with some curiosity, Rite Sareen is the daughter of the Rite family, a wealthy family in Kyoto, not only enjoys a strong reputation in Kyoto, but also has a deep connection with Kyoto's internal affairs, most of the royal family's procurement work is through the Rite family, otherwise, Rite Sarin would not be able to become the royal family's swordsmanship teacher

"Hehe, Lu Lin's brother is the internal affairs officer Lusalt, who is in charge of drafting the marriage contract for the royal family," Ryt Salin chuckled to his disciple, "I also want to see which family Your Majesty is talking about to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he can't wait to be so impatient, he must also be a young upstart who is extremely relied on!"

"Teacher, you're making fun of me!" said the brave Princess Harodian with a rare blush, and some determination

"I will not agree to this marriage, when the kingdom is in turmoil, the children of the royal family like us should focus their energy and attention on the revitalization of the kingdom, rather than on the so-called marriage, the glory belongs to us, this is the most important criterion that the children of the royal family should adhere to!"
