1366 Rather
Holnan seemed to be comforting Marina, but in fact he was secretly observing the other three. Hmph, if you want to get the support of the Weiting family, how can it be if you don't want to pay some price? Hornan just wants to show his attitude, if he wants to get the support of the Weiting family, it's not impossible, first help to defeat the opposition led by the Luke family. CuarΓ³n was the first to figure out the crux of the matter, and Royce and Moore then figured out Holnan's intentions. Moore is the most relaxed person, in contrast, Caron and Royce are a little entangled, can this help or not? Hornan is also too cunning to mention the alliance, and the Luke family's affairs are also said through Marina's mouth, and they don't talk about the alliance at all, and whether they help or not is voluntary. Caron has a headache, the Luke family and the Weilan family are also old forces in Merlin City, especially the Luke family, known as the evergreen tree in the southern country, and being able to be among the nobles of Merlin for a hundred years without falling is a kind of strength in itself. If Holnan agrees to the marriage, it is not a problem for the Frankish Kingdom to help defeat the Luke family, the key is that Holnan's current attitude is very subtle, what if he helps and still can't marry, isn't it a bamboo basket for nothing?
Caron and Royce were calm on the surface, but they were already thinking about it in their hearts, Royce was not as old as Cuaron after all, and the expression on his face became more and more anxious, he had never encountered such a. Caron looked very calm, and after a moment of thought, he put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "Lord Duke, you are a friend of the Frankish Kingdom, and your enemy is the enemy of the Kingdom. β
Mo looked at the words that were not painful or itchy, but they had already shown Caron's attitude, and Royce chuckled in his heart, regretting that he was too conservative. Seeing Holnan smiling and nodding to Caron, the sense of uneasiness intensified, and he couldn't help but stand up, take two steps forward, salute Marina, and then took out the luxurious box he was carrying, "Honorable Miss Marina, this gift is a little bit of the North Lorraine family, and I hope you can accept it." As a vassal of the regent, Royce swore an oath to Miss Marina on behalf of the Sosa family, and only needed Miss Marina's words, and the Sosa family would not hesitate to go to the soup. β
Royce's movements were too fast, Holnan was a little surprised, and Marina looked at the golden box in front of her at a loss, especially in Royce's words, which also hid a mystery. Hornan glared at Royce with some hatred, De Kler's son, who was really a bit of a hurry, was originally a difficult choice, but it was thrown into Marina's hands. At this time, what kind of choice Marina wants, no matter what kind of choice, it means that the marriage is tacit, because only the future princess of the Eastern Emperor can order the Sosa family. If there was no one around, Hornan couldn't wait to tear this young Royce with his own hands, this guy was simply too yin. Marina trembled as she took the box containing the Queen's Flower and looked at Hornan at a loss, she hadn't mentioned this situation when she had discussed it before. Royce, this guy, simply doesn't play according to the routine, if he has the opportunity, he must tattoo seven or eight holes in Royce's body, there is no such disgusting person.
"Okay, okay, it's a trivial matter, why bother you, since it's the North Lorraine family's intentions, Marina, you can take it first, as for the Luke family's affairs, we will solve it ourselves" Hornan was comforting Marina on the surface, but his voice was not small, and the people at the banquet could hear it clearly. At this moment, not only Royce breathed a sigh of relief, but even Caron breathed a long sigh of relief. Anyway, it's a good thing that everyone hasn't been cheated by Hornan. Moore shook his head in disappointment, there was no good show to watch at the moment.
After the feast was over, they returned to their lodgings, and when they entered the house, Royce was like a prostration, leaning directly against the door panel and gasping for breath. He finally saw what it means to eat people without spitting out bones, compared to Huo Nan and these people, he is too immature, if he is not in a hurry today, I am afraid that he will really be encircled. Similarly, Holnan's mood was not very good, he borrowed a knife to kill people, and was destroyed by Royce, a stinky boy, after the crowd left, Marina angrily played with the box in her hand, and her mouth was still unforgiving, "Father, that Royce is really hateful, with someone like Royce, it is estimated that the regent of the East is not much better." β
"Shhhh Hey... No, good girl, open the box and see what it is. β
I was a little confused just now, and it wasn't until this time that Huo Nan reacted, Marina didn't know why, she opened the box according to her words, and when she looked at it, she suddenly couldn't move it, "Ah... What a beautiful hairpin, what a beautiful gem...."
Marina smiled, but she didn't notice that Daddy's face had turned black to the bottom of the pot. Huo Nan stroked his forehead, there was a deep sense of powerlessness, sometimes ignorance is also a blessing, "My good daughter, you are beautiful, but do you know what this thing is?" Marina didn't care at all, playing with the hairpin, and couldn't put it down, "Isn't it just a hairpin, although it is more beautiful, but with the strength of our Weiting family, it is not difficult to build a branch." Father, what kind of expression do you have, is the child wrong? β
"You.... You really don't know, this is the Queen's Flower, and only the mistress of the Kingdom of Lorraine can wear it. This Royce is really a little fox, accept this hairpin today, and tomorrow our Weiting family will have to breathe out with the Sosa family in one nostril, "Hornan is much older than Marina, can the queen's flower be worn casually?" Isn't this tantamount to a disguised endorsement of marriage? It felt very uncomfortable to be tricked by someone, and Marina knew that this was the queen's flower, so she also felt a little hot, and even reluctantly put it back in the box, "This Royce is really too bad, I'll go find her!" β
Marina said to do it, grabbed the box and walked out of the hall quickly, Hornan raised her hand and opened her mouth to shout, but finally closed her mouth again, and soon a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Royce, Royce, after all, is young, not as experienced as De Kohler after all. Besides, Marina was so angry with Royce that she ate the Queen's Flower and went directly to the guest room on the west side of the manor, and when she saw that there was still light in the house, she pinched her waist and shouted loudly, "Royce, you bastard, get out of here, give you half an hour, if you don't come out, Miss Ben will burn you into charcoal." Hmph, if you dare to play tricks on Miss Ben's head, you are impatient. β
Royce was a little quick-witted, but he made a lot of calculations and missed Miss Marina, who was notoriously unconventional, no, as soon as Royce lay down, he was knocked on the door by the eldest lady. Listening to the shouting and scolding outside the house, Royce's head was full of sweat, should this aunt be so arrogant, the princess of the dignified Weiting family actually blocked the door of the guests and scolded, but Royce didn't dare to do anything to Marina, this is the future princess, unless she doesn't plan to marry successfully. Putting on his clothes, Royce hurriedly ran out of the house, and saw that more than a dozen guards had already lit up torches, so frightened that his face turned white, and hurriedly saluted, "Miss Marina, what's the matter, is someone messing with you?" β
"Yes, you provoked Miss Ben, are you really bold enough to take Miss Ben for a fool? What's the matter with the queen's flower in this box, it's up to you, I also want to talk about Miss Dongben's marriage, what is that Eastern Regent, if he wants to marry, roll over by himself, hum, won't that the regent be the same as Louis, he is too old to walk, right? Miss Marina was open-mouthed and said whatever she wanted, and Royce was half stunned to death. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is in his prime, and he is the most glorious age of his life, why is he too old to walk? Can Louis compare with the regent, Royce even rolled his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to reply to Marina, so he could only swallow his saliva and said very depressedly, "Miss Marina, the regent is noble, and the Saxon military situation is urgent, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to Merlin City for a while." β
"I can't bother you to come here, an unsightly thing, and I want to find Miss Ben to marry, oh, this thing will be returned to you, and I won't play with my heart in front of me in the future, and next time, I will break your legs" Marina raised her hand and threw the box over, it was the queen's flower, Royce was so frightened that he propped up his robe and covered the box. Whew, eldest lady, can you be a little more normal, if you break the queen's flower, wouldn't it be a joke? Marina didn't care about the queen's flower, let alone Royce's bitter gourd face, and when she finished her work, she turned around and left, even with a dozen family guards and a sympathetic look at Royce. Lord Royce is also a young hero, and when he meets Miss Marina, he can only sigh in vain.
Royce sat on the grass, exuding a sense of powerlessness all over his body, knowing that marriage was a difficult task, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, Marina was simply an invisible mountain. In the study, Hornan drank sweet soup, which was originally a very tricky thing, and when he met a good daughter, he solved it directly, effortlessly, and sometimes he didn't play cards according to the routine, which is also beneficial, is this a typical wisdom and foolishness? Even if Marina was angry, that is, half a cup of tea, she had already put aside the previous things at this time, and chatted heartlessly with Hornan, with a smile on her pretty face, "Father, you don't know that Royce's face is as swollen as a pig's liver." β
"That's fine, teach Royce a lesson, save this kid from relying on De Kole's power to do nonsense in the future, but well, good daughter, you really have to think about the marriage" As soon as Holnan talked about marriage, he had a little headache, and the marriage was almost an ending that could not be changed. Even if he could agree to Marina's choice of her husband, the Red Grape nobles would not agree, and Marina's marriage was related to the future of the Red Grape nobles. Marina obviously didn't listen to it, and tilted her head nonchalantly, "Ah, you old man is really verbose, you better solve the trouble of the Luke family first." β
"You.... I have no conscience, I have raised you for so many years" Huo Nan could only smile and scold helplessly, as for the Luke family and the Wei Lan family, he had already dealt with it, no accident, there would not be much trouble.
There was an undercurrent surging in Merlin City, and in the distance, Umsburg finally kicked off the offensive and defensive prelude. After solving the enemy in the misty forest, Zhao Yougong began the attack and defense of Yumsburg, and now the offensive and defensive battle of Yumsburg has entered the white-hot stage, and tens of thousands of soldiers in front are fighting bloodily, Zhao Yougong is also planning the next step in the handsome tent, "I didn't expect Yumsburg to resist so fiercely, but it was a little unexpected, but according to the observation of the spies, the defenders of Yumsburg may not be monolithic." The current lord of the city, Yuliko, was originally a Prussian, but was later defeated and became the lord of Yumsburg, so we might as well put some effort into this. In the afternoon, Changk, you will withdraw the troops and horses attacking the southern city, and concentrate your forces on the western wall where the church soldiers are stationed. In addition, throw the captured captives under the city of Yumsburg, and the king will see that Yuliko does not care whether these captives live or die. β
Gao Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and soon after, the offensive and defensive situation of Yumsburg changed, and the national army was originally scheduled to attack on three sides, but now it was withdrawn on two roads, and most of the troops were concentrated to attack the western wall garrisoned by Turik. This change made the defenders of Yumsburg nervous, especially Yuliko, who was a little unable to understand the current situation. Towards the end of the day, there was another change, and a large number of Germanic captives were thrown under the city, which stunned the defenders at the head of the city. Looking at the captives under the city, Yuliko frowned, as if there was a knife hanging from his neck, and the commander beside him asked with some anxiety, "Lord Yuliko, what should we do, do you want to let these captives in?" β
"Don't, wait and talk about it, these are all captives of the Orientals, the Orientals have taken the wrong medicine, let these people go?" Jurico had to suspect that as long as he was a normal person, he would be worried about fraud. Of course, these people are all Hohenzollerns, and if they are all from Yumsburg, it would be a different situation, not their own people, and they really can't be trusted. The captives were frozen under the city, where could they stand it, and shouted and cursed at the city, "Don't let us into the city quickly, the orientals are far away now, and it will be too late to open the city gate later." We want to see Lord Turik, who is God's soldiers and deserves to be saved. β
Yu Like scolded his mother in his heart, the soldiers of the church are different, and they are confident when they are prisoners. Jurico wanted to let these captives fend for themselves, but the news soon reached the ears of Turik, who could not watch his soldiers being slaughtered, and immediately ran to the southern city wall, looked down, and said to Yurico, "Lord Jurico, the people in the city are all the people of the church, so there should be no problem. Regardless of whether the Easterners have any intrigues or intrigues, we must save these people, otherwise the army will be discouraged, and Yumsburg will not be able to defend it. β
