In the dense woods, a stag with horns like a crown on its head is eating fresh grass with its head down, the plants in midsummer grow very luxuriantly, which gives the deer a rich source of food, the buck does not forget to raise its head and look around vigilantly when it grazes with its head down, as the leader of a herd of deer it shoulders the responsibility of protecting the deer, but between the branches and leaves of the woods, a pair of eyes are carefully staring, staring at this stag like a king.

"Xiuxiu~~~." The buck seemed to feel threatened, it raised its head, a pair of big black eyes looked around in alarm, its slender four legs stepped on the ground restlessly, making a clattering sound, and it made a sound uneasily, and when it heard the warning of the stag, the other deer spread their hooves and ran through the woods.

"Whoosh, whoosh~~~." From between the dense foliage of the forest, two arrows flew out, one of which pierced the stag's neck accurately, and the frightened stag ran after the herd with the arrows, as if trying to escape from its pursuers.

"Wang~~~." Suddenly, out of the grass came two hounds, one black and one of colour, barking wildly and rushing towards the stag, followed by a group of horsemen, and the riders on the mounts shouted and chased their prey.

"Lord Earl, caught, Ban and the flower bit the prey." The leading rider ran as fast as he could, and he saw the two hounds biting the stag's backwards and pulling them desperately, the stag made a miserable roar, and the deer's blood spilled on the weeds on the ground, but no matter how much he struggled, he could not get rid of the hound's fangs.

"It's pathetic, let me fix it." Arold on his horse. He was dressed in a noble shirt, with a bow in one hand, and on the left side of his mount was a leather bag containing arrows, which had just been shot by Arrod, and he rolled over and got off his horse, drew a sharp short sword from his waist, and plunged it into the heart of the stag, which spewed out from his mouth and nose, and stopped struggling after a moment's breath.

"We'll take care of the rest, Lord Earl." When Arold stood up. The two young squires jumped off their horses with agility. They were selected from the academy of the Angry Lion, and the very good young men served as squires, originally only slaves from other countries, but Arold freed them. And let them have the opportunity to be cared for and learn in the school inside the fort.

"Oh. Do you know how to cut venison? Arold watched as the two teenagers delicately tied up the deer. Then a stick was passed through the deer's bound hooves, and the two lifted the deer up and followed Arold's side.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl, we have been trained as knights of the Order of St. Jom. Know how to use a knife to cut prey and cut meat. The two little attendants said happily to Arrod.

"Lord Earl, I didn't expect your interest to be so high." At this moment the bush behind Arrod was in the middle of it, and the monk Elwitt sat on a docile mare, and the thorns of the bush hooked his monk's robe, and he was in a hurry.

"It's because Duke Mason gave me a hound, and I can't resist giving them a try." Arold reached out and stroked the two hound tails that waged their tails to invite merit to their masters, and they were definitely a good pair of assistants when these two hounds hunted, although Arold was very strange that Duke Mason not only did not blame himself for disobeying his orders, but gave himself a pair of hounds to show goodwill, but Arold was secretly relieved to be able to ease the relationship with Duke Mason.

"But your archery skills are really superb, and you only need two arrows to hit a deer." Brother Elvet managed to break free from the bushes, and with the help of his squire, he dismounted from his mount and walked towards Arrod, one foot deep and one shallow, and exclaimed with admiration.

"Two arrows were shot, you're saying my archery skills are not good, haluha." Arold jokingly pulled the arrow off the deer, but the other arrow flew under a tree, a dozen paces away from them, "Elvet, can you help me pick it up?" ”

"Oh, yes." Brother Elvet felt very strange, but the attendants were busy carrying the deer shot by Arold back to the camp, so at this time there were only two of them in the forest, and when Arold, as an earl, did not want to pick up the arrows, only Brother Elvet in front of him could do it, so he unsuspectingly pushed aside the grass and bushes and walked in the direction where the arrow fell, and behind him Arold's gaze became strange, and he took his bow and drew an arrow from the leather pouch of his horse.

"Squeak~~." The arrow rested on the bowstring, and the bowstring made a slight sound as Arrod's arm exerted force, and the sharp arrow was aimed at the unsuspecting Elvet Monk's back.

Duke Mason stared at the wine glass in front of him, this is a silver wine glass, there are several Lomwa gods on it, the wine glass is very exquisite and can be seen to have a long history, this is one of the Lomwa treasures that Arold gave him as a gift from Duke Mason, I didn't expect the Slavs to have so many treasures, why didn't I find out before Duke Mason couldn't help but think in his heart, he actually cheapened that young boy for nothing, but can he really keep that land? Or as Count Lauzitz said, but an occasional lucky fellow.

"Father, what are you thinking? Are you dissatisfied with the gift from Count Arrhod? At this moment, a sweet voice came from the side of Duke Mason, and Duke Mason, who rarely smiled at this voice, couldn't help but smile on his gloomy face, and only his lovely daughter Josie could bring him joy in this cold court.

"Now it's as you wish, that ignorant kid offended me, but I let him go so easily, the nobles of the entire empire will laugh at me." Duke Mason wore a golden crown on his head, a red robe trimmed with mink fur, and his hands were covered with rings of various precious stones, among which the most ordinary iron ring was indeed the most precious, the ring representing the duke's seal, and Duke Mason leaned on a high-backed chair wrapped in red flannel cloth from the south, his hands rested comfortably on the smooth armrests, while a pair of white and soft jade hands held his left hand.

"Count Arold will be your most powerful assistant, and it is indeed a very abrupt thing for you to send an envoy to ask him for military service, and his answer is not wrong." Princess Josie rested her head on her father's arm, and she sat on the carpeted floor, the large windows inlaid with stained glass that shone the sun on her, making her as beautiful and pure as an angel.

"Hey, my daughter, you haven't married yet, how can you talk like a member of someone else's family, completely biased in favor of that kid, and forget your father's majesty." Duke Mason jokingly stretched out his finger and scratched Josie's small nose, Duke Mason was very dissatisfied with Arrod's offense, but it was precisely because of Josie that the Duke gave up revenge and instead showed favor to Arrod, and the Duke also saw that his little daughter's mind had already flown to Arold's body.

"Hu~~." While the Duke and his daughter were enjoying the warm sunshine and family fun, a small crack appeared in the bedroom door, and a pair of eyes full of jealousy and resentment flashed, and then disappeared into the dark corridor. (To be continued......)
