At that time, Benedict's little lover Tonya was pregnant with Rokka, and came to the unfamiliar city of Solo alone, although her uncle treated her well, and the child was born smoothly. But Tonya was still depressed. Half a year after giving birth to a child, in order to forget her past troubles, she often shuttles alone through the streets and alleys of Solo City to relieve her sorrows. Over time, Benedict had become so far away in his mind that he couldn't even remember what he was like. Tonya is still young after all, and she longs for a new love.

By chance, or rather, the clock was ticking, and the Duke of Borot once once saw this beautiful girl in his heart, and he was always worried about it, so he sent people to inquire around, and finally found her in Uncle Donya's blacksmith's shop.

Duke Borot begged for beauty, and asked people to bring a lot of money to the door to ask to marry Tonya as a concubine. The girl's uncle was at a loss, for the duke was so ruthless that if he did not fulfill his wishes, he would never live in peace. Tonya was still very calm, and she unexpectedly agreed to the duke's request, but asked the man to bring a message to the duke that he already had a child, and that if the duke wanted to marry him, he must treat this child as if it were his own.

When the duke learned about it, he agreed, after all, it was his most urgent wish to marry someone first. Tonya took this opportunity to obtain a written commitment from the duke, and then came to the duke's mansion with great fanfare.

Polygamy was not forbidden, and the prophet Cyril was more of a politically savvy old slipper than a missionary. He saw that in order for the upper echelons of society to support his religion, certain compromises had to be made with their living customs. Rather than making great efforts to reform the customs of this person's common feelings, it is better to let it go with the flow and make it easier to spread.

After the original wife of the Duke of Borot had two daughters, she no longer had children, so the Duke never had a male heir. Although the origin of the boy brought by Tonya is unknown, the duke has declared it his flesh and blood from the beginning for political purposes.

Seeing that the Duke cared so much for her children, Tonya was very grateful in her heart, and although the Duke was much older than her, she still had a lot of respect and affection with the Duke.

Tonya's child was a boy named Copperfield according to his agreement with Benedict. Duke Borot thought it was a good name, but for the sake of the future, he also gave the child a noble name - Albert. The people in the Duke's Mansion always called the little boy His Royal Highness Albert.

Duke Borot attached great importance to the education of his children, not only hired the best teachers from the principality to teach swordsmanship, but even paid a lot of money to invite magic monks from the best monastery in the empire, Sarat, to teach Albert magic.

Polymath, from the time of the prophet Cyril, has been known for its frequent occurrence of various miracles. Behind these miracles is mostly supported by magic. The most common are medical techniques to treat seriously injured people, acceleration techniques to make the elderly walk like flying, and speed up the frequency of movements. Ordinary believers sometimes do not necessarily understand the profound teachings, but after seeing the benefits that Esoteria can bring, they sincerely convert to him.

At present, the northern barbarian Dessert is overwhelming, and magic has become a key counterbalance on the battlefield. In order to make Albert successful in the future, Duke Borot paid attention to cultivating his magical cultivation early on.

His Royal Highness Albert's performance is also worthy of the Duke's high expectations, not only is he proficient in all cold weapons, everyone in the Duchy is amazed, and even the magic skills that require great talent are also improving rapidly, which makes the magic teacher from the Salat Monastery secretly surprised.

Several counts under Duke Borot praised Albert in unison, which made the old duke very proud. He had long regarded this child as his own.

General Iros had also heard of His Royal Highness Albert, and although Iros himself worked in his grandfather all the year round, he could always have a few words with His Highness every time he returned to the Duke's Mansion to report on his work.

After the Emperor sent Iros to the city of Greed, Duke Borot received a secret report that the general had already defected to the Emperor. In the future, if the emperor takes the six electors, Iros will have many secrets of his principality, and it will definitely be a disaster. Therefore, the old duke thought of the plan, and took the initiative to recommend his son to the emperor to go to Grid City to assist General Iros, first, to facilitate surveillance, and second, if the emperor wants to move seriously, he can take the lead to get rid of Iros.

......

While General Iros was pacing the courtyard, the person he asked to see outside was none other than His Highness Albert.

The general was a little surprised, His Royal Highness Albert was a long man with broad shoulders and strong body. He strode up to greet the general and showed the emperor's handwritten edict.

The general was a little unhappy in his heart, originally the mountains here were high and the roads were far away, and he could do whatever he wanted, but who knew that the emperor sent another person. Now it's not so freewheeling.

However, because it was the emperor's will, and because he was the son of Duke Borot, the general still had to be polite on the surface, and a very unnatural smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life, and asked: "Your Highness, did you come alone, without a single soldier?"

Albert looked into the general's eyes and smiled faintly: "These Imperial Guards you brought are enough to support the defense of this city, and Your Majesty asked me to assist you, not to divide your military power." ”

The general laughed and said, "Your Highness, what you are talking about, you are the son of the duke, and I am a commoner. Since you have been appointed here by Your Majesty, you should share the military power with me......"

"The general is too worried, I am not used to mundane affairs, and the general is still responsible for the affairs of the army. "As I traveled, I found the city so desolate that the sound of chickens and dogs was almost extinct in the city, and there were only a few people in the streets. There is a very dazzling restaurant that I am very curious about......"

"Ah, that restaurant!" the general hurriedly prepared to explain, "Your Highness, that restaurant is a ploy of contemptible people. ”

"Sure enough, it's the general's strategy. Albert looked the general in the eye and said, "The owner of that tavern is a necromancer!"

"Your Highness, I was about to explain. Albert's fiery eyes embarrassed the general, "There are people in this city who want to rebel, and these Janissaries sent to me by Your Majesty will also have to bear the important responsibility of guarding the mausoleum." It is clear that it will be difficult to spare people to suppress the rebellion. If we wait for them to unite, we will definitely not be able to parry, so I preemptively nip them in the bud. ”

"Your Excellency, I don't have to guess to know that you killed all these people, but why did you install a necromancer to open a tavern in this city so ostentatious?"

Iros took great pains to explain his plan, of course, he would only say that it was all for the good of the empire, and the real little Jiujiu would not confide in.

Before Albert left, he was secretly instructed by Duke Borot that the treasure under the city of Gred must not be swallowed by Iros, and he must try his best to protect it.

The general's clever plan made Albert secretly curse the old fox in his heart, and his handsome face showed a look of joy, as if he was satisfied with the general's plan.

Albert was intrigued by a few adventurers and asked the general to take him to the dungeon.

Iros agreed, and accompanied His Highness all the way to the dungeon.

......

At this time, the dwarf Kegun, the thief Best, the monk Benedict, and the elven druid were still discussing the steps to escape. Suddenly, there were footsteps from above, and all four of them stopped talking.

The lighting of the dungeon is basically based on the natural gap overhead, and although there is artificial lighting, it can be basically ignored.

His Royal Highness Albert was dressed in military uniform, but General Iros was dressed in civilian clothes.

Kagen yelled at Albert, "Straight thief, your grandfather is here, come on!"

Best secretly complained in his heart that this dwarf was always going to die.

Benedict looked closely at the heroic young man in military uniform in front of him, and the old man noticed the bag around his waist, but the light was dim, and it was difficult to see it.

Albert said to Iros, "Your Excellency, these people are extraordinary, and they all seem to have some skills, so you can be regarded as the right person." ”

The general laughed and said, "I am not afraid to be praised." "He's from the monastery of Fort Salat, and that's a real big fish!"

"Sarat?" Albert hesitated.

"Exactly. The general's face was full of spring breeze, and he couldn't help but brush up his beard.

The general didn't know where Albert's magic teacher came from, and Albert also pretended to be silent and said, "General, this person must know some magic, and it is very dangerous to be imprisoned here." My father had hired some magic monks to teach me, so I knew a few spells. This man asked me to take it for careful interrogation, and I was sure that I would get something beneficial to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Iros didn't think of this, and he also knew that His Highness Su Ri's magic cultivation was good, so he readily agreed.

Albert took Benedict to his temporary residence, and in order to avoid people's eyes, he first reprimanded Benedict severely, during which he scolded the Pope for his shamelessness, and demanded that Benedict tell the truth and that it was not the Pope himself who was behind the tomb robbery.

Then, when the heat was almost over, Albert suddenly whispered, "My lord, are you really from Fort Salat?"

Old Benedict was aware of everything, and he had long realized that Albert's actions just now were hiding people's eyes, so he did not shy away from his true identity and nodded.

"That's where my most important magic teacher comes from. His Highness lowered his voice and continued.

Benedict's eyes were all focused on the bag around Albert's waist, and this time he was able to make sure that it was embroidered with a wine barrel, and of course, most importantly, the date on it.

The bald old man's heart was tumbling, and he didn't dare to say what was on his mind, because after all, this person's current identity was so noble, and if he rashly recognized it, he would definitely be regarded as a psychopath.

More than twenty years later, Benedict had become a bald, hunchbacked old man, looking much older than his actual age, both because he had practiced magic for many years, and because he missed his lover and the child in her womb.

Albert noticed the strangeness in the old man's eyes and asked him if he had anything to say.

Benedict cleared his throat and revealed a secret that Albert hadn't expected.
