Chapter 207: Freedom of Confinement

"I swear in honor of a warrior:

From now on

Combine your sword with life

Dedicated to the princess of the middle of summer, Vanessa

I will pay regardless of the cost

Blood spared no expense

Under the leadership of the princess

Travel through a dark swamp

I swear to live and die

Strong enemy currently

Fearless

until life burns out

Blood-dyed red Sultan. ”

Vanessa sat on the highest throne in the arena, listening to the knights at her feet swear to herself, the princess at this moment finally has a sense of security with armor on her body, two hundred and twenty carefully selected mercenary knights, of course, there must be no shortage of undercover spies sent by Terrence during the period, but at least Xue Lanwei has taken shape, and he finally has the first corps, they are the cornerstone, they are the capital, from now on, he is no longer a lonely beggar princess, with them by his side, he is like a traveler with gold coins in his purse, he can do things freelyand no longer subject to others.

"Nice oath," Vanessa turned her face to Terrence standing, the smile on her face blurred by the midday light, followed by three or two squires, who seemed to be holding something in their hands, "So, your squire is finally finished?" ”

The Prince sat down beside her, and Vanessa couldn't help but be alert, she sat up straight, and nodded to her future husband, "Yes, Your Highness." "What are you doing here? The princess narrowed her eyes.

"It's a great blessing, and I should always celebrate it with the most precious gift of all."

The prince's smile gnawed at the princess's brain like a poisonous snake, and she saw the tray of red stones in the hand of the attendant, no! The princess screamed in her heart! "What is this?" Vanessa almost jumped out of her seat. No, no, no! Don't ban magic stones!

"Give your new knights a little discipline," Terrence put his hand on the back of Vanessa's hand, and the princess retracted her hand as if she had been stung by a sand scorpion, glaring at the prince's face, "rest assured, my princess, when they are fully accustomed to the rules of the palace, I will naturally set them free." ”

"You know it's imprisoning their freedom." Vanessa struggled to keep her voice from trembling with anger, "When you announced the selection of guards to the world, you didn't stipulate that you should wear the Forbidden Demon Stone for a while. ”

"And you didn't reveal that there were so many mercenaries among your guards." Terrence sneered, "Do you think I don't recognize them, don't forget, Othar has been working for me since I set foot in the Burning Realm. ”

"I'm just trying to regain my long-lost sense of security, and you're not going to grant even this little request, right?"

"I have tolerated your nonsense, and selected the guards during my brother and sister's funeral," Terrence said gentlemanly, "I cannot tolerate you placing a sword by my side that is only faithful to you, and I do not want to be shot as if I were physically wounded to you on my wedding night, when I claim my right to be a husband." ”

"It seems that Queen Deanna is not enough," since the direct dissuasion was unsuccessful, she had to use the radical method instead, and Vanessa changed her face to contempt, "Her Kingsguard can scare our good prince a lot." ”

"Indeed, my dear princess," Terrence nodded and smiled without the slightest disapproval, "I suppose my brother's ghost is not far away, and his death is still in sight, how can I not guard against it?" ”

"Do you want all my guards to be in chains like death row inmates, and to be the laughing stock of others wherever they go?" Vanessa stood up and glared at the Prince.

"Yes." Terrence smiled calmly.

For a moment, the princess saw in the prince's smile the joy of schadenfreude.

He was watching my reaction and see how I would respond to the unfair treatment. It turned out that this was another test, and only those who had perfect access to guΓ² were eligible for promotion.

Well, you forced me.

"If this is the king's suspicions, I can understand that, but your list of distrusts is so long that it seems that even your fiancΓ©e should be counted." Vanessa didn't restrain her angry expression, and her tone was scathing, "Okay, I respect the customs of the Flame Royalty, and I can give in to your unreasonable demands," the princess glared at the dark red forbidden magic stones in disgust, and she reverted to her stomach as she remembered how hard she had worked to find the keys for Reina and Brant, "Even if you want to wear them, they don't have to be so obvious, I have built the guards to wear them on their wrists, and there are human veins, which have the same lethal effect as the neck." ”

"The point is that you can cover it with wrist armor and not show a trace," Terrence twisted as he skewed on the throne, "Woman, the technique of concealing ugliness is as good as the technique of makeup. ”

yes, sooner or later, this technique will be used to you.

"Whatever you want, that's the maximum I can accept." The princess beckoned impatiently, "Bring the key." ”

"The key is in the custody of my people." The prince did not budge.

"Impossible." Vanessa scoffed, "You mean your 'drunkard'?" A small bottle of bourbon can be exchanged for all the keys on him. You're using such a fool to keep the freedom of my personal guards? Don't even think about it. ”

"Well, I can assign others," Tellus, apparently not very much of his disgraceful porter, "other reliable ones. ”

"I think it's just the two adults behind you." Vanessa spoke suddenly.

Terrence was stunned, he didn't expect the princess to be so happy, he looked back at the squires who followed him, although they were all knights, they were low-ranking knights closer to squires, only knightly qualifications, but never won their honor on the battlefield. In the court, such a knight had a very low status, not much stronger than a eunuch who cut the male roots.

The first young knight with fluffy blond hair falling like a waterfall over his shoulders was handsome, but it was clear that Vanessa was not referring to him; The second knight was stout, with a big beard, a rhizome-like red nose covered with cracked veins, and rough hands like hams, and his name was Geralt, from the small lord of the South, and Terrence could not even call his surname; The third knight was small, with a twisted smile, a fox face, a pointed nose, and a shaggy orange beard standing on end. Hood, a distant relative of Terrence.

"I divide the Xue Lan Wei into three teams," Vanessa finally regained the initiative, "The first team is under the command of the captain I have chosen, and the other two teams will be handed over to you," she turned directly to the two low-level knights who were eager to try without asking the prince's consent, "You are the most trustworthy people in the Burning Flame Country, I believe that the three guards of Xue Lan will be of the greatest effect under your command, right, dear?" The princess turned to Terrence and smiled like a flower.
