Chapter 111, Counterattack

The clouds in the sky are flakes, blocking the lazy sun, and they are cloudy and sunny.

This kind of weather is perfect for outings.

Chatting with Natalie, who was walking on horseback, Arthur soon made his way to the only estate that belonged to the Black Swan Gilbert family.

Compared to the north, it looks rough and focuses on practical style.

Most of the buildings in the South are elaborate and ornate, and the Gilbert family's estate, though small, is full of organs.

The servants were busy arranging food for the guests, and their hostess had only gone out half an hour before, and the sumptuous luncheon for the prince did not make the boy and the mercenary wait long.

In the banquet hall, feel Natalie's warm hospitality.

Because she doesn't like waste, the hare that Selena caught was disposed of by the cook here after arriving at the manor.

Then, bored, she quietly watched the two chatting non-stop!

Except for Anne, the mercenary has never seen Arthur talk to anyone so well, but she thinks that this naΓ―ve prince will definitely be calculated by this noble lady!

Of course, this calculation may not harm him, but will stick himself upside down to the young man.

But the identity of this young man is a prince, and Natalie is nothing more than a small nobleman who only owns a small estate as an inheritance......

Didn't grow up in Westeros, though.

Selena knows a lot of wars caused by the marriage of a great nobleman!

For example, Robb Stark, the young wolf lord, almost died in a bloody wedding to Twin Rivers with many northern nobles because he married Jenny Westerling.

If Arthur chooses Heinrikay, the emperor will acquiesce in their marriage, after all, the Wettin family has been loyal to the Holy Loren family for generations, and with the help of saving the driver, they are already qualified to marry the prince.

Royal selflessness!

Having chosen to follow the orders of Anne, who will swear allegiance to Arthur, to become her subordinate, Selena knows very well that she has already sat in Arthur Saint Lorain's chariot, and she will be both prosperous and lossy!

Moreover, the poems and distances that the prince and the noble girl talked about could not be understood by the mercenary who was only taught a few words by the old father!

"By the way, Miss Natalie, why don't you see your family?" interrupted Selena, impatiently, changing the subject.

The aristocratic lady who heard the words sighed, poured wine for the prince who had finished drinking the wine, and said sadly: "My father died of illness three years ago, and my mother died soon after due to excessive grief.

The Lannisters rebelled, the army from the north went south, and my brother was killed in battle because of the conscription of the puppet emperor Joffrey, who ascended to the throne...

And my sister-in-law has also returned to her parents' house......"

Listening to her sad words and looking at her pitiful look, the innocent prince next to her hurriedly comforted her, Selena regretted asking her this question very much.

At this time, the servant brings the prepared rich food.

I really didn't know how to warn the prince not to be emotional about this little noblewoman, so she simply opened it up and ate it.

But the prince around him is very eating!

During this time, he had no money, either by hunting, or by drinking the brown soup of the Seven Gods Church, and he had never eaten at all, sitting next to him, the female mercenary couldn't snatch this prince with her hands......

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm so hungry, I ate a little rudely, please don't see it. ”

Seeing the rough appearance of the prince in front of her, Natalie only shook her head and chuckled, "I've seen how His Majesty Robert is at the banquet, and you're okay." ”

"No, no, no, there's nothing to say good about. Thinking back to the vulgarity of the cheap daddy, Arthur shook his head repeatedly.

The windows let in soft sunlight, not too expensive, but the gorgeous seven-colored glass is illuminated in brilliant colors.

Under the light and shadow, the boy and the girl talk and laugh, looking like a couple in a love movie, such a picture makes Selena very unhappy, and she feels like her cabbage being arched by a pig!

The time of a meal, passed in the blink of an eye.

The caravan was still preparing to depart, and while there was still time, Natalie invited the study of the Prince's Road Manor to read a book!

This is acceptable to Selena, after all, she is not going to the boudoir of a noble girl.

However.

She didn't know that Arthur, who was a librarian in her previous life, just liked this kind of literary style......

Because of the death of a family member, most of the books in the manor's study are poetry collections, biographical novels, love stories and other books that girls like.

When he came to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, Arthur didn't have much contact with this kind of books, and the books he read were basically reference books, practical books, and history books, and he rarely read miscellaneous books.

But in his previous life, he would have read no less miscellaneous books.

Westeros's novel story is too monotonous and boring in the eyes of a teenager with memories of his past life.

"Love story? I'm going to tell you about Romeo and Juliet......"

Before I knew it, the sun was approaching, and the caravan of the Gilbert family was ready to depart, and the food servants for the dinner party were brought to Natalie's carriage.

Depart Gilbert Manor.

The small caravan composed of more than 30 people sparsely stopped on the small hillside, with the setting sun as the backdrop, and a cool breeze slowly blowing.

Under the canopy, Arthur and Natalie sat opposite each other.

Obviously, the young man who had only known each other for less than a day, chatting with a noble girl, at this time, the two acted as if they had known each other for many years, and they were even about to talk about everything when they sat together!

As a time-traveler from another world, Arthur is actually very lonely here.

Anne doesn't talk about talkative, Heinly has a venomous tongue, and Selena hates and doesn't have much in common with him, so there really isn't much around him to talk to.

Unlike other places, the most prosperous area of Westeros is full of nobles, villages can be found every distance, close to the royal capital King's Landing, and there is even a town every fifty leagues.

Because of the war, there is no problem at all with the imperial army that is stationed in the imperial garrison, and there is no problem at all.

But even so, Selena looked at the aristocratic girl at dusk and my prince, and she couldn't help but open her mouth again to disturb.

"Your Highness, when you're full, pack your things and continue on your way!"

"Uh... All right. ”

Knowing that the mercenary was interrupted from chatting with Natalie for her own good, Arthur shrugged helplessly and immediately helped clean up the table and food.

The aristocratic girl returned to the carriage in understanding, and originally invited the prince to share a ride, but Arthur thought that he was now very close to the school city, so he spent a lot of time chatting after getting down to business first.

Then, the rush became the theme again.

Such behavior is numbing.

Every time he rides a horse for too long and his fart*, his legs hurt, Arthur misses the trains, cars, and motorcycles of his previous life, and even the bicycle feels much better than the horse!

The mercenary Selena did not follow the horse at the front of the group.

Instead, he slowed down his horse to the carriage where Natalie was sitting, and said to the noble lady in the carriage, "Miss Gilbert, can you talk to me?"

"It's Ms. Selena, what do you want to talk about?"

Soon, in the carriage, by the light of candles, the girl who wrote the story told by the prince pulled the window of the car, with a friendly and kind smile on her face.

Selena ignored her charming smile and said in a deep voice: "I have defected to the emperor and been loyal to the prince, but to become a knight is to swear an oath to Lady Anne Claudius and Lady Heinrikai Weting.

They had read through the tribulation with the Prince, had taken His Majesty out of the coup city of King's Landing, fled to Essos across the Narrow Sea, and returned to Westeros across the Sea of Dothrak.

His Majesty Robert, His Royal Highness Ryan, His Highness Varian, and Prime Minister Ed are all very optimistic about Lady Heinrikay, and I hope you don't make a mistake about yourself. ”

"Lady Anne Claudie and Lady Heinrikai Weiting?"

Hearing the mercenary's warning, Natalie's smile remained unchanged, she didn't take her words to heart, and even a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

"You swore an oath to them to be knights, and the two ladies are my idols, can you tell me about them?"

Selena: "You're smart and won't understand me." ”

After a moment of silence, a look of helplessness appeared on Natalie's face, and she said, "Lady Selena, I am just friends with His Royal Highness, and you are too worried. ”

"No, fellow woman, I know your ambitions very well. ”

"But I will not hurt His Highness Arthur. ”
