Arold couldn't help but be proud that he had mastered an unexpectedly good card, when he learned that the shield girl Grace was the daughter of the former Danish king, although according to the Viking tradition inheritance is not according to the way of blood inheritance, but according to the strength of the strong, just like the ancient tribe to choose the leader, of course, if the shield girl Grace's father continues to be the king of Denmark, then Grace may become the princess to gain the right to rule, but her father was beaten by Banuk, In other words, Grace has automatically lost her dominance.

However, nothing is absolute, when Grace's father was defeated, the vassals who were divided during his lifetime were removed from their fiefs and status by Banuk, even if they were willing to renew their allegiance to Banuk, they were also deprived of their fiefs by Banuk in the subsequent search for various reasons, this power struggle will inevitably leave scars in the hearts of the old ministers, which is an inevitable weakness in human nature, at this time, if there is an orphan of an old master, those old courtiers who were Grace's father may regroup.

"You're saying leave these Viking warriors in my hands?" Grace looked at Arold in disbelief, and when Arold nodded, she was sure it was true.

"Yes, aren't they your father's old courtiers? Wouldn't it be better to leave them in your hands? Arold raised her glass, and Grace poured the mead from the jug into it, and pouring it was also one of Grace's jobs.

"What are your intentions?" Grace did not believe that Arold would be merciful enough to put all the Viking warriors he had captured in her hands, and that the young count must have had some ulterior motives. Thinking of this, Grace looked suspicious and distrustful.

"Hey, why do you want me to throw all your people into the dungeon?" Arold took a sip of mead, looking at the Nordic girl with a distrustful expression, perhaps because she was in a better mood for winning the battle, he couldn't help but tease Grace.

"What to throw in the dungeon?" Grace frowned when she heard this, she didn't want her people to be thrown into a damp and smelly dungeon, it was even more terrible than killing them, so she closed her lips, but her eyes still revealed her heart.

"Ahem, what if I say I'm because I like you. Now believe it. Arold looked like a vigilant kitten-like shield girl Grace. I couldn't help but play tricks, stood up and put down the wine glass in my hand, and put my hand on Grace's waist casually, the tall figure of a Nordic girl. and a slender waist that is firm and tight due to exercise.

"What do you do?" Grace was startled by Arrod's sudden hand. In fright, he poured the wine from the flask in his hand on Arold's body. It was really a sensitive area for Grace, and she didn't expect that Arrod, who had always been more strict and majestic, would suddenly stretch out his groping hand.

"Why don't you believe me? There were two dozen Viking warriors, though not many in number. But it would be very dangerous to cause a commotion in Mecklenburg, and don't you believe me if you put them in your hands? "Although Arold was sprinkled with wine, he was not annoyed, and it was interesting to see a Nordic girl with a red face.

If anyone else dares to do such a thing, Grace will definitely look for an axe to cut off his hand, but in the face of the unfathomable Arrod, Grace is really a little afraid, in the process of communicating with her own people, she heard that Arold destroyed the fleet of the Danish king Banuk, and was able to shoot out ships as hot as lightning, and wiped out half of the Danish king Banuk's army on the sea. This ability is simply something that only legendary gods and heroes can accomplish.

Not only that, but after learning the Germanic language in Mecklenburg, Grace often talked to the people of Mecklenburg, and her generous personality made her very popular with the people, so she heard a lot about Arold, for example, in the battle with the Bohemians, he also summoned that terrible fire to defeat the Bohemian army, this ability has gradually become a legend and myth in the rumors, leaving an indelible influence on Grace's heart.

You must know that the culture of the Vikings is full of all kinds of strange and exaggerated stories, and the Vikings will listen to these stories when they are in the cradle, they have no words of their own, only the stories of the guò passed down from generation to generation, for the Vikings life itself is a story.

"Do you want them to be baptized and converted to Catholicism?" When Arrold finally became serious, he told Grace that she must be baptized as Christians before she could manage these Viking warriors.

"Yes, including you to become a Christian." Arold felt that the only way to subdue these fierce Viking warriors was to use religion, and when he submitted to Prince Ward's guard, he proved that only religious and cultural unity could make the other party feel identified with without the result of rebellion.

"Why should I become a Christian? I am a shield maiden who serves the Norse gods and will not rebel against them. Grace said angrily.

"Because you belong to me, don't forget that." Arold looked at Grace with both eyes, and said in a stern tone, under the pressure of his momentum, Grace couldn't help but retreat, seeing that Grace was silent, Arold continued, "According to your Viking tradition, after Banuk defeated your father, you have automatically lost the right to rule, but according to our Christian tradition, even if your father dies, your bloodline will guarantee your dominance. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Grace asked curiously, a little confused.

"Are you willing to watch your father's domain be usurped by usurpers?" Arold said loudly, his majestic voice echoing through the halls of the lords.

"But my father is dead." Grace explained.

"If you are a Christian, there is no such thing as zài, and I will help you reclaim your father's territory, how about this is a good deal." Arold interrupted Grace with a wave of his hand, he had a grand plan in his heart, it was no problem to occupy the land of the Vikings, but the question was how to rule there, Nordic had a very vast land and resources, how could it be easily abandoned.

"Retake your father's domain?" Grace pondered, the thought hadn't crossed her mind in years. (To be continued......)
