Vlavich cared more about the welcoming ceremony than Duke had imagined.

As soon as he received the news from Joseph, he arranged the guard of honor a few kilometers away from the north gate early to wait for the return of his lord.

You must know that even the last time when the dwarves were welcomed with the highest etiquette at the south gate, there was no reason for the honor guard to run out of the city, which is enough to see how excited Vlavic was in his heart.

Ever since he learned of the strange mutation of Baron Rhine, Vlavic sent Joseph out and kept in touch almost every day, but only he knew how he had spent his few days.

After seeing Duke intact, he held the lord's hand tightly and refused to let go, a little afraid that what was in front of him was just a false bubble.

As an old minister who watched Duke grow from a young age to what he is now, Vlavic originally had a deeper concern for Duke.

In addition, the current Duke is the main object that inspires his old age dreams, he really can't imagine what kind of situation he will be if Duke has something long, two short, and it is estimated that he will soon die in grief and self-blame, he often thinks like this these days.

"It's okay Vlavic, I'm fine, I'll start getting back on track tomorrow when I get some rest. ”

After feeling the old minister's strange appearance, Duke smiled and patted the old man with tears in his eyes and said.

"No, no, no, you can rest for a few more days, I can still eat, you have to make sure that you are healthy first, I don't care. ”

Vlavic felt that Duke had not rested enough, and kept begging the lord to rest for a while longer, but Duke refused with a smile.

Letting the old man work for him and then running to fish for himself is something Duke thinks can't be done with his own moral bottom line.

"Hey, Lord Duke. Agnes also came up from behind, and suddenly said to Duke with some mystery: "I have decided to live in your castle in the future, you can watch and arrange it." ”

No!

Duke screamed in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "I have already booked a room for you in the hotel last time." Don't worry, it's definitely the best room, much better than my broken castle, can you think about it?"

Who knew that Agnes didn't listen at all, she patted Duke's shoulder very proudly, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I don't mind if you mind anything, it's settled." ”

"Don't, I still want to see you write a travelogue, I've been waiting for a long time, really!"

In order not to let this unfortunate saint live next to him, Duke can only say in good conscience that he likes to read the bad travelogues she writes, and only begs her not to live in.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can write a "Diary of the Observation of the Castle of the Poor Duke in the Country" for you, with quality and quantity!"

Agnes left one last word, and then walked around the crowd and entered the northern fortress first, leaving Duke alone in the wind.

Then Lenia stepped forward from behind and asked, "Lord, how do you arrange the celebration and reward?"

Originally, the lord would arrange some reward after every big victory or completion of some big work, and there was even a record of some soldiers rebelling against the lord's reward, and Duke also said that he would hold a celebration at the last minute on the return trip.

"Tell the first batch of team members to give each person ten gold coins, the second batch of five gold coins each, as for the celebration, let it be done after everyone has rested. ”

After carefully considering the extent of his vault, Duke would never again empty his entire small vault with a single reward from the beast tide. He had considered the reward in two batches many times, and as soon as Lenia asked, he quickly told him what he had already decided.

"I suggest exchanging the dwarves' bounty for the equivalent of fine wine, and the dwarfs like this, which is much better than the gold coins given to the hard states. ”

Joseph on the side interjected and suggested that the dwarf's money be exchanged for the equivalent of wine last time, and when Anvil heard it, he automatically ignored Joseph's impolite salutation, and looked at Duke with straight eyes, hoping that he would follow the correct advice.

"Okay, okay. Duke looked at the dwarves staring at him with some tears and laughter, and said to Joseph helplessly: "You profiteer must not be short of pounds and taels. ”

"You can rest assured!"

..............

When Duke woke up from his soft bed the next day, it still felt unreal.

In just ten days of marching in the dense forest, he became extremely luxurious and cordial to the daily life that he was accustomed to.

But no matter what, there will be no shortage of trouble, and soon a guard will come and knock on the door, asking if the lord has woken up, and there is a large number of people waiting outside to visit the Duke of the North.

In fact, in the past few decades, there have not necessarily been a few people who will come to visit the Duke of the North, and the Duke family in the North has been basically completely isolated, and naturally no one will come to greet him during the New Year's holidays.

Moreover, the successive generations of family heads themselves were not very good at managing relationships, and in the end, even the few remaining distant friends and families lost contact and became completely alone.

Nowadays it is not a special holiday or anniversary, but the return of the owner of the northern fortress to the castle is naturally impossible to attract so many people to visit.

These people all came to see Her Highness by name, but Her Highness had already said that she wanted to live in the castle of the Duke of the North and not come out, so these people turned their horses around and had a good relationship with the Duke who was once unpopular.

"What kind of people are out there, this is. ”

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, Duke saw that a long line had already formed outside, and suddenly had an intuitive understanding of the weight of the Holy Maiden of Light.

The bishops or representatives of the dioceses, the priests of the chapels, and most of the nobles sent messengers with them. ”

Vlavich provided an answer next to Duke, and at this time he was quite tired of the enthusiasm of these people, and he was a little annoyed that these people were affecting his normal work.

"Tsk, if these people had organized a rescue at such a speed as today, we would have nothing to do with it. ”

Looking at the representatives of the so-called church and the messengers of various magnates, Duke felt that it was too ironic, and the rescue team sent by the patriarch probably was still wandering slowly on the road without receiving the news.

And these sensitive political flies have long been prepared for the smell of the smell, and there is such a big contrast between the same thing before and after.

"When the order goes down, I occasionally feel cold, bedridden, and I don't see anyone!"
