Although Grace is the only daughter of the former Danish king, she is quite prestigious among many Danes, and the nostalgic Danes believe that Grace is at least qualified for the royal lineage, and the children born to the Danish king Banuk and his sick and crooked wife all died, in the eyes of the Danes, this is cursed by the gods, and now Banuk is even more unlikely to have an heir, so some Danes began to privately discuss if Banuk unfortunately died, then who should inherit the throne?

"Please don't get me wrong, Lord Count Mecklenburg, I want to be able to redeem Grace, and of course the ransom is up to you." Danish King Banuk explained to Arold.

"Redeem Grace, what about after redemption?" Arold squinted his eyes at the Danish king Banuk, not knowing what the old king was up to, so he planned to wait and see.

"I'm going to marry Grace as my queen." King Banuk of Denmark proclaimed in a loud voice, and the East Francian nobles in the hall looked at each other, for they knew that Banuk had his own queen, who according to legend had been with the sickbed.

"Allow me to remind you that as a Christian you can only have one wife." King Henry of East Francia reminded King Banuk of Denmark that monogamy is one of the precepts of Christianity, even for noble kings, and that if you want to marry a second wife, you can apply for a divorce from the Holy See to get permission for divorce, which is actually very difficult.

"My queen is very weak, and my doctor said she might not survive this winter, so there is no problem at all." But the Danish king Banuk said in a slightly sad tone. In fact, now that his queen is in the hands of the Slavs of the Isles of Sealand, he does not bother the sick queen Julian too much, and gives her due care.

"Hmm." Arold's brows furrowed, this Danish king is really shameless enough, he remembered that there were descriptions of murder in the Middle Ages in later films or books, kings or nobles sometimes in order to marry a new wife, but because it is so difficult to apply for divorce from the Holy See, it often makes the death of the former wife an unknown shortcut, and in the history of England, Queen Elizabeth's father killed many wives for this, this bloody history is really barbaric and bloody.

The Danish king Banuk made Arjord a difficult condition. But in the eyes of the other nobles, this was really nothing. You must know that the exchange of a female slave for a piece of land is really a very cost-effective transaction, but Arold hesitates, and Grace is very helpful to Arold in the war with the Danes. and in contact with the only daughter of the former King of Denmark. Arold also admires Gracena's maverick and strong personality. It is like facing a modern urban woman in later generations, and she is not discouraged in the face of various difficulties.

"Allow me to think about it." Arold said that he would think carefully before replying to the Danish king Banuk, and at the following banquet he was absent-mindedly facing the various entertainments of Mecklenburg. Banuk's request for negotiation was soon known to Grace, and when Arrod returned to his camp to arrange for the German mercenary group to accept the mercenary, Grace blocked Arrod's way.

"Grace, what are you going to do?" Sir Ron stepped forward, and in order to prevent Grace from harming Arrod, Sir Ron, as Arrod's knight in the inner house, had the responsibility to protect the monarch's safety.

"I have something to ask Arrod, Sir Ron, get out of the way." Grace had an angry expression on her face, a sharp battle axe at her waist, and several hired Viking warriors standing around, and the atmosphere around her was a little tense.

"Sir Ron, stand down, Grace, come with me." Arold told Sir Ron to get out of the way, and Arold jumped off his horse, handed the reins of his horse to his personal attendant, Harlan, and motioned to Grace to follow him into the tent.

"I heard that you are going to sell me to the Danish king Banuk, how about my price is worth it." Gray followed Arold into the tent without any fear, and she looked at Arold and said in a cold tone.

"You know everything?" Arold took off his cloak and sword, threw it aside, and said to Grace with a calm face.

"Of course, the news is about to spread throughout the camp, are you going to hide it from me until you use the ribbon as a rope to tie me to Banuk?" Grace said angrily to Arrod.

"Well, indeed, Banuk made very tempting conditions, and to be honest, not only me, but even the other nobles were surprised." Ignoring Grace's annoyance, Arrold sat down on a wooden stool and spoke to Grace.

"You promised?" Grace's face turned pale, a little hope in her heart was completely shattered, the whole person seemed to be drenched in cold water from beginning to end, in anger she stretched out her finger and pointed straight at the tip of Arold's nose, the whole body trembled slightly, for Arold she not only fought for him personally, but even persuaded the Swedish raiders to maintain neutrality in the war, but Arold actually betrayed herself to repay this love.

"No, not yet." Arold waved his hand to Grace.

"For the time being? That means you're going to raise the price a little bit more so you can pack me up and sell it. Grace laughed angrily and said sarcastically to Arryd.

"No, I think you're mistaken, I didn't intend to betray you from beginning to end, Grace I'm going to break the slave contract between us, and from now on you're a free man." Arold understands Grace's anger, as a maverick woman, what she hates most is that men fiddle with themselves as commodities.

"What? You're going to set me free. Listening to Arrod's words, Grace was completely confused, what did Arrod want to do? Although Grace tried her best to resist being sold as goods by Arrod, she had little room for maneuver as a de facto slave, but now Arold said that she would let herself go.

"That's right, you are a good girl, there is no need to fall victim to this dirty deal, besides, Sealand Island is in the hands of my army, even if the Danish King Banuk is reluctant, I will not hand it over lightly, and you Grace should pursue your ideals and life." Arold looked at the tall Grace in front of him and said to her in a sincere tone.

"Are you really going to do that?" Grace listened to Arold's words and her anger suddenly dissipated, she didn't expect Arold to see herself like this, although Arold's army occupies Sealand, but as long as Danish King Banuk does not let go, then for Arold there is a question about the legitimacy of the rule of that land, it can be said that there is a deep disaster at all, and the Danes can send troops at any time without any reason, especially now that Danish King Banuk is still a Christian.
