In the early morning of the next day, several orioles flew to Arold's windowsill, chirping non-stop, waking up Arold who was still asleep, he opened his eyes and found that his chest was a pair of white and slender arms on his chest, Princess Josie's hair was scattered, her cheek was attached to Arold's left arm, there was a trace of tears in the corner of her eyes, and she looked like she had been destroyed, but Arold secretly smiled bitterly, although last night at the beginning, the progress was a little narrow and tight, but when the natural barrier was broken, Thinking of this, Arold slowly put Princess Josie's arm into the futon, sat up and tried not to wake up Princess Josie.

"Ah~~~." Arold put on his clothes and walked to the window, stretched a big waist, he looked out of the window at Mecklenburg Castle, at this time the people had already begun their hard work for the day, the soldiers of the German mercenary regiment in the barracks of Mecklenburg Castle entered the training, and outside the castle, the army of the Duchy of Mason also set up a bonfire and began to make breakfast, more than 4,000 soldiers set up a bonfire, and the smoke rising from the bonfire surrounded Mecklenburg Castle like columns.

"Squeak~." Arold walked lightly to the bedside, looked at his delicate new wife, her face like a sleeping beauty, and the blonde hair spread out like a waterfall, and kissed her lightly on the cheek, and then left his room, as the Count of Mecklenburg Castle, he not only had to deal with the affairs of the entire realm, but now he had to work with the Duke of Abel and the nobles of Mason to make plans to attack Denmark.

"Bring breakfast to the princess." When Arold walked out of the room, his personal attendant Harlan was leaning against the wall outside the door and holding his sword. Hearing the noise, he quickly stood up, and Arold said to him.

"Oh, yes, Lord Count." Harlan hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, as a personal attendant, he must always follow Arrod's side, even when he is sleeping, because Sean is recuperating from a leg injury, so Harlan has to take on more responsibility.

After Arrod had finished his instructions to his attendants, he strode to the cloister while the servants of Mecklenburg Castle cleaned up the halls, sweeping up the leftovers and broken flasks. The maids carried heavy barrels and coarse cloths to wipe the soiled floor. Several dogs were licking the vomit of the nobles, and it seemed that the hall of lords was unusable, so Arrod leaned over the wooden fence on the second floor and looked at it, and walked down the steps to leave the hall of lords.

"Scandium. Scandium~~~~. "Arjod walked out of the tower. Immediately, Xia Zuo and Harun followed him. As an earl, he had to take his retinue with him at all times, and Arold arrived at his barracks in Mecklenburg Castle, where he heard the sound of the swords clashing against each other as the soldiers trained.

"Oh. Good morning, Lord Earl, how was you resting yesterday? John Berg was holding his arms and guiding the training of the soldiers, when he saw Arrod coming and hurriedly greeted him.

"Well, how is the training of the soldiers?" Arold smiled and nodded, and then asked John Berg that Arold was trying to transform the spear phalanx of the German mercenary group into a combination of spear and crossbow formation, so he needed to communicate with John Berg, who had a lot of experience in warfare.

"There is no problem with the spear phalanx, but our crossbows are a problem, the rate of fire cannot keep up, and if you shoot about ten rounds, the soldiers will get tired." John Berg said to Arold.

"Are most of the crossbows we use now still pedaling?" Arold asked, the crossbows currently equipped in the Arjod army are obtained by two methods: self-made and purchased, but they are not very powerful, and the Germans are used to using bows and arrows instead of crossbows, because they think that crossbows are something used by cowards, and there is no technical content, as long as a peasant can fight with a crossbow, so it is regarded as an inferior weapon, these concepts limit Arrod's development of his own long-range military power.

"That's right, even the farmers who were recruited were limited in their strength." John Berg had to tell the truth, as if it was possible that he would rather conscript the squire landlords who had their own land, who had their own land and who were better off and better able to adapt to the battlefield in all respects.

"It's okay to train more, as for the crossbow, I will order the smelting base to improve it, add a pulley and attach it to the belt with a leather strap, so that when the soldier pulls, he can use waist strength instead of simple arm strength, we must vigorously develop the application of the crossbow, this is the only weapon that can fight against the Viking knight's longbow, our people can only make up for it in weapons without the arm strength of the Viking knight." Arold looked at the peasants who were shooting crossbows at their targets in the barracks, and he was more concerned about the discipline of these peasants than with weapons, but when the song of the lightning troops sounded as they marched, Arold knew that the sense of group honor had been established in the German mercenary regiment.

While Arold was inspecting the construction of her army, Princess Josie woke up from her sleep, she opened her hazy sleepy eyes and looked around but did not find her husband, the swelling and pain in her lower body made her a little sad, and uncovered the futon on a piece of white cloth specially laid by the maid, a red mass was clearly visible, which showed that she was pure and immaculate before she got married.

"Your Royal Highness, have you woken up?" At that moment the maids pushed open the door and entered, and they brought over a small wooden table, which lay directly on the bed, while the other maid placed a pillow filled with goose feathers behind Princess Josie so that she could lean against it.

"Where's my husband, Lord Earl?" Princess Josie asked with some uneasiness.

"Don't worry about Your Highness Princess, Your Excellency Earl has a lot of things to deal with, but he has arranged a qiē for you." At this time, a beautiful Slavic woman walked up to Princess Josie and said to her gently, Princess Josie knew this Slavic woman, and her name was Shirley, the physician in Arold's court.

"Oh, I see." Although Princess Josie was a little disappointed, she also knew that Arold was currently facing the threat of Viking warriors, but Arold was able to send so many maids to arrange food and drink, and a doctor came to wait for her, which showed that she was very important in Arold's heart, and Princess Josie's heart was full of sweetness when she thought of this.

"Are you satisfied with your breakfast?" The maids sent to serve Princess Josie put fresh milk and fruit and smoked fish on their plates, and said to Princess Josie.

"So much? It's the first time I've had breakfast in bed/on it. "Even if Josie is the princess of the Duchy of Mason, it is the first time that she is surrounded by so many people, sitting on the bed and eating breakfast.

"From now on you will be the mistress of this castle, and it will be our duty to serve no matter how you serve." The maids bowed their heads and said respectfully to Princess Josie, henceforth this noble princess was the mistress of Mecklenburg Castle. (To be continued......)
