Chapter 324: Snatching Kisses
"Who are you?" Uraca was not afraid, this was the capital of Castile, Burgos, the eldest daughter of Ferdinand I, Emperor of Spain and Kingdom of Colora.
"I'm William of Normandy, and you must be Miss Uraca." The man came out and replied.
"It's the bastard." Uraka reacted and replied without thinking.
William's face turned red as soon as he "Teng", he subconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, no matter which man mentioned this word, he would be hit head-on.
"I formally propose to you, in my capacity as Duke of Normandy and future Norman King, and invite you to join me in Rouen to attend my coronation, and you will share this glory with me as my fiancée and queen of the future Norman King." William deliberately accentuated the words Duke and King.
"Your Excellency, and my future Majesty the King, may I ask you a question?"
"Please!"
"If I marry you, will I have an illegitimate child?"
William was stunned, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the collar on Uraka's chest, and lifted her up with a little effort.
Uraka's words before William can regard it as a child's words, after all, in his opinion, what does Uraka, who is only ten years old, understand.
But when William met Urakar himself, in just a few words of conversation, he already knew that this princess of Castile was a mature and assertive person, so when she said again that William was a 'mongrel', William was really angry.
Urakar's guards drew their swords and prepared to rescue their master, but William glared at them and they were too frightened to move.
"Uraka, today you will regret your words." As soon as William let go, Uraka also fell to the ground, and she staggered, did not stand firmly, and sat on the ground with her butt on her shoulder, covered in mud.
At that time, the roads were not as good as they are now, and most of them were loess and gravel roads.
Anyone has a bad habit of watching the excitement, not even the Castilian people of Burgos, who come early to watch the commotion here.
When the onlookers saw Uraka's awkwardness, the crowd burst into laughter.
Uraka's face was flushed, and she got up, ignoring the muddy water stains on her body, and raised her arms to fight William.
But where is Uraka's opponent, Uraka, who is only ten years old and one meter three tall, is William's opponent.
In front of William, who is 1.8 meters tall and 15 years old, Uraka does look like a child.
William stretched out his hand, grabbed Uraka's arm, pulled her a few steps, and carried her on his back, no matter how she shouted, to his horse, and it was obvious that William was going to take Uraka directly.
Urraca's guards stepped forward, but William's guards drew their swords to stop them, and the tall Normans were outnumbered, and the few Spanish guards were no match at all, and they were all put to the ground.
William helped Urakar to his horse and turned over himself.
"Let go of me, you let me go! I'm not going to marry you! Uraka struggled and screamed, and she was furious at William's abduction, which was not a gentleman at all.
"Drive!" William completely ignored Uraka's scolding, kicked the horse's belly, and galloped.
It seems that William is planning to snatch Uraka home, snatch back Normandy, lock her up, and force her to get married, which is a bit like a demon imprisoning a princess.
In Europe, snatching relatives is a traditional project, which has existed since ancient times, such as the story of the Trojan horse, which was caused by the robbery of the beautiful Helen, such as the future Noelle of Aquitaine, the duchess and young widow who owned Aquitaine and Poitiers, were robbed by the future Plantagenet founder of the Plantagenet dynasty, the Duke of Normandy and Henry II, Count of Anjou, and since then most of the territory of France has belonged to England, which is the beginning of the Hundred Years' War between England and France in history.
In order to expand their strength and seize the territory, the age gap and the quality of appearance were not a problem at all, at that time, Noelle of Aquitaine had just divorced her monarch, King Louis VII of France, and only a few days later, she was robbed by Henry II on the way back to Aquitaine, and the age difference between the two was more than ten years at that time.
There was quite a phone call between the nineteen-year-old young duke and the thirty-year-old mature queen, and the two frowned, as if Louis VII did not exist.
At that time, King Louis VII of France decided to divorce because he believed that Eleanor could not have a son, but he lost the entire Duchy of Aquitaine, and Louis VII suddenly became the laughing stock of the whole of Europe.
Because Queen Noelle only gave birth to Louis VII a daughter, this child died at the age of three, but Eleanor gave birth to four sons and three daughters for Henry II after that, which is undoubtedly a great insult to Louis VII.
After putting down all the guards, William's guards also got on their horses, and they ran to the side: "Your Majesty is indeed Robert's own child, it seems that this time he is going to have an illegitimate child again." ”
Someone had reported to Ferdinand I that William had snatched Princess Urakar.
"This William is officially a madman, and he dares to kidnap my daughter on my territory!" Ferdinand I roared out of the castle and quickly overtook William, who was unfamiliar with the terrain, with his army.
"William! Put down my daughter! I can make sure you get out safely. "With his daughter in William's hands, Normandy and his most important ally, Ferdinand I was in a dilemma and could not make up his mind to use force.
William glanced around, there were no less than five hundred people on the other side, and there were only less than two hundred people after some of the guards and knights were gathered on his side, reason told him not to think about breaking out unharmed, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
"William, if you admit that you are a knight, let your daughter go, and how about we duel one-on-one?" Ferdinand I continued.
Ferdinand I looked furious, but William understood what he meant, and he wanted to use the duel to consummate their marriage, leaving Uraca speechless.
After all, William was already his son-in-law, and the alliance between Spain and Normandy was very strong, and the cause of this incident was just Urraca making trouble, as long as she used this duel to gag Uraca's mouth, she couldn't go on willfully.
William rolled over and dismounted, and picked Urakar down, "Miss, you can go back to your father." ”
Uraka trotted along with her skirt to Ferdinand I's side.
Looking at Uraka's embarrassed appearance, Ferdinand I said angrily, "Daughter, you wait, see how I avenge you!" ”
