As I approached Desmond Castle, I saw more and more familiar people and sights. Naturally, the mood of the knights of Desmond gradually became cheerful, even though the North Sea was already tense and full of smoke. But Desmond was still peaceful, and his heart, which had been burned by the flames of war, began to relax.

And when he saw the three husky wolves running wantonly on the large meadow outside the castle, a certain knight could no longer hide his excitement.

"Sif !

Ruziano, who was standing at the end of the line, shouted, and the little wolf, who was playing with his brothers, heard the familiar voice and hurriedly turned back. Seeing that it was indeed his owner, the immature wolf cub swung his little short legs hard and ran towards his master's place with joy.

"Hey, don't lick, don't lick"

Looking at the young wolf who kept licking his master's cheek, Xinluo also felt some emotion in his heart. These little creatures who have been soaked in magic have grown up so fast that they can only stay in the arms of the girls, but now they can run happily on the grass. And the previous worries were also unnecessary, these stupid wolves seem to think of themselves as dogs. Between the behaviors, it is completely like a dog. Even if you put them directly on this unattended grass, you will never think of running away.

Sinlos admits that his first impression of Ruziano was not good, and he always felt that this guy had a kind of anger in him. And when I saw him for the first time, the rebelliousness on his face also lowered the impression score very much. But after getting along for a long time, I will really find out that this guy is actually the same as Gino. Just a big boy. However, Ruziano prefers to protect himself with indifference to the sunny Gino. Many times even if you want to help people. But he won't admit it.

To put it simply, it's dead tsundere. Though. It's not cute at all for a man to do this.

"Sieph, what have you eaten. Why is it growing so fast, I can't hold you. Ruziano said as if complaining, but kept touching the wolf's head. And the young wolf was also very happy, and kept wagging his big fluffy tail.

Hey, you're a wolf! It's not a husky!

If at the beginning, Ellie gave Sif to Ruciano, with a slight compulsion. But after a few months of getting along, Ruziano has come to regard her as his partner. Even going out to fight. I didn't forget to bring gifts back to the little meat ball at home.

However, a good wolf was raised by him to be a husky. I don't know what went wrong when I raised it, the wolf's ferocity was gone, and the stupidity was exposed.

I saw Ruziano look in the pocket of the war horse and dig out a small iron jar. And a familiar smell began to waft into the air.

Sinloth sniffed, a frightened expression on his face. Could it be that the young wolf with its ears raised high tilted its head? Lovely looking at their own hosts. His nose, which was sharper than Sinloth's, also smelled the smell. But out of trust in her master, she didn't make any moves, just looked at Ruziano curiously.

"Come on. Siff, this is a stinky herring made by Madame herself. I left it for you."

Bastard, why do you still have this thing. Aren't you afraid of being spoiled? And, even if it's outdoors right now. You can't just open this thing!

Smelling the growing stench, Cynroth's heart. Almost collapsed

"Sir, you're back."

Claude's face was calm, and the meticulously dressed butler took Cynroth's coat. A bland gaze crossed the lord and looked at William behind him.

"This is the Duke?"

Claude was a little surprised, you know, the empire does not have a king. Therefore, theoretically speaking, from the emperor down to the emperor, the most honorable are naturally the dukes - although the governors of the six provinces have incomparably great power, and before the ancient empire, they could even be called emperors. However, in the legal sense of the empire, they were still only dukes.

Of course, no one would really think of these uncrowned kings as dukes.

"Well, yes." Sinlos nodded and said to the butler, "This is the Grand Duke of Normandy, Lord William. At my invitation, come to Desmond as a guest and don't lose the courtesy. ”

The duke, in ancient language, was "the leader of the warriors", "the respected man", and "the right and left hand of the king". Even if he is not a fiefdom duke, he should not be underestimated. Besides, the other party obviously has its own fiefdom.

Fanzhuo is such a terrible fellow.

Judging by the Hebrew intelligence, this is the first generation of Vandzo. And Sinloth was not a descendant of a nobleman before. However, less than a year after he arrived in Desmond, he had already been promoted to viscount and invited a duke to his domain. Fanzhuo's growth is really terrifying.

However, he is now Van Zhuo's butler. Van is strong and strong, and he will only be happier.

"Is that so? I understand. Claude nodded, smiling confidently at his master, "It's a sudden challenge, but please leave it to me." Fan Zhuo's housekeeper, how could he not even do this little thing. ”

"I'm looking forward to your watch."

The knights' weapons were swords, and they had to face the battlefield. The butler's weapon is etiquette, and they have to face not only the big and small things in the castle, but also the reception of distinguished guests, which is also a very important part.

Sinlos motioned for the knights to disperse on their own, while he led the Duke into the study for a secret conversation. Between now and dinner, it's time for Claude's solo show.

Duke of Normandy, under the name of the Governor of the Demons. Then his eating habits should be closer to the Law Demon Province. If nothing else, if you look at the wine pairing, it should be the best wine, especially the wine of Burgundy. Even a duke would not refuse the blood of the gods. However, the Duke of Normandy is different from other French dukes after all. His ancestors were Normans. In that world of ice and snow, spirits are more popular. And look at what the Duke of Normandy looked like. Although young, Kong Wu is powerful. I don't think I will refuse spirits.

However, since it is a formal dinner, there is no reason to serve spirits. However, if you serve wine, it may not be popular. If the Duke made a bad impression on Desmond when he first came to him, it would not be in line with his aesthetics.

And

Aside from the wine pairing, the other party's preferred food is also completely unknown. Although the lobbyist is as he pleases, even if he is a respected guest. You have to follow the habits of your master. But the other party is a duke, and Sinlos is just a viscount, so he has to take care of his preferences.

It's really difficult, even though it's not afraid of any challenge. But Sinloth came back too suddenly, and he wasn't prepared at all. And the housekeeper who has a strict zhòng perfection tendency does not allow himself to be the slightest bit wrong.

Claude looked up at the sun, which had begun to set in the west, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

"Fanzhuo's butler, how can he not do it?"

William arrives in Desmond. Naturally, you can't just visit your friends. Regardless of what William and Sinloth discussed, judging from the expressions of the two, it should have been a very pleasant conversation.

"Sinloth, sometimes I really want you to come to me, how about I give you an earl's domain? I'll hand over all the finances of the realm to you."

William is more and more fond of this like-minded friend with him. The other party is not only beautiful, but also fresh and refined between words. Although he has always observed the ancient etiquette of the empire, there is a freshness in his words and deeds. At the same time, it makes people feel like a spring breeze, and their hearts are fascinated. Therefore. Although he knew that it was unlikely, William still offered his own price. And as a duke. The Count was already the highest price he could offer.

However, Sinloth didn't seem to appreciate it.

The viscount rolled his eyes at the duke, "Thank you." But it's useless for you to tell me this, go and tell Governor Louis yourself, and see if that guy agrees. ”

William shook his head and smiled wryly: "Okay, okay. When I didn't say anything."

Governor Louis called himself the Sun King, and his behavior was naturally as domineering as the ancient god king. God's grace is like the sea, and God's power is like hell. Whoever obeys Him will be rewarded by Him. And those who disobey him will naturally be punished. Louis already looked at Normandy unpleasantly, and now if William poached his people again, maybe this guy would do something out of the ordinary as soon as he was excited.

Either way, it's better not to touch his scales.

Speaking of the change, William had wanted to ask Sinloth some other questions. Although many of Sinlos's ideas were relatively empty, the Duke benefited from a completely different way of thinking. However, it seems that this is the only end for today.

"Excuse me, sir. Excuse me, do you need a meal now? ”

"That's amazing."

William rubbed his eyes, looked at the dining table, and sighed constantly. Although the dining table is a little weird, it is not the usual long table, but a round table. But what is on the table makes up for it perfectly. Even if you look at the things on the table, no matter how strict the etiquette teacher is, you can't say that there is anything wrong with it.

Porcelain, it turned out to be porcelain! And it's not a small cup, a small teapot or something that the nobles bought with gritted teeth and deliberately used to show off. It's a whole table! A whole table! A whole table of porcelain!

Because it was a formal dinner, there were many people in attendance. Luckily, the round table was big enough to sit down. And in front of everyone's seat, there are several pieces of porcelain of high value. Illuminated by dozens of candles, the porcelain and silver cutlery shone together, almost blinding William's eyes.

The porcelain produced by Seris has always been known for its high cost and beauty. Even the most precious sister of the Governor of Shinra, Shanaido, only took out some of them when she received Elle and Nanoka, which can be seen.

It's not that William hasn't seen porcelain, but he only knows today what a local tyrant is. Looking at the table full of porcelain, he sometimes wondered if he could buy such a set of cutlery, even if he exhausted the money in his castle warehouse. But the result was obviously not very good, as could be seen from the Duke's depressed face.

No wonder Sinloth doesn't care about the loot. It turns out that this product is so rich!

William withdrew his depressed gaze and looked at the cutlery in front of him. Jealousy doesn't solve anything. Instead of envying here, it is better to take a second look now. Same as those porcelain I've seen before. The eyes of the Duke are also like the skin of a virgin, white and flawless. Just looking at it like this, it is even unbearable to touch. I am afraid that my roughness will ruin this perfect whiteness.

However, unlike the porcelain seen before, the porcelain of the Fanzhuo family has added some cyan patterns. The white vessels are decorated with cyan patterns. Or flowers, birds, fish and insects, or mountains and rivers. Although it is very different from the aesthetic of the Empire, William, a cultural idiot, can still experience an inexplicable interest in it.

This thing is much more expensive than those white-glazed porcelain!

"What's wrong. William, seems to be very unhappy? Sinlos fiddled with the knife and fork in front of him, and looked at his duke friend suspiciously. From the moment he sat down, this guy was weird. Sinlos, who was not a person of this era at all, did not find the meal in front of him strange at all.

Nanorka's movements are quite fast.

"No, nothing."

The Duke was naturally embarrassed to say that he was in a deep envy and jealousy, and seeing William shaking his head, Sinlos did not continue to ask. During the time they spoke, people had come one after another. Even the two cute little angels ran in laughing.

I saw the delicate appearance of my two daughters. Sinloth hurriedly stood up and spread his hands.

"Come, Ellie, Nanorka. Daddy hug~"

It's a little strange today, though.

Nanoka was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her father to come back today. But the little girl was excited. Laughing and throwing himself into his father's arms, his little face rubbing against his chest. And Ellie is very strange. The cute face was flushed and writhed. But he didn't pounce happily as before.

Seems to be shy?

This girl also knows how to be shy? Didn't you have to take a bath with Robert when there was no Robert before? Why don't you even want to hug it now?

Could it be that the role of the school? The little girl finally knows that she is embarrassed?

The Viscount didn't think much of it, although Ellie didn't stick to him as much as she used to, and there was some regret. However, Xinlos still touched Ellie's little head, felt her smooth blonde hair, and smiled softly, "Okay, Ellie." Hurry up and wash your hands, we're having dinner. ”

When the two little ones came back from washing their hands, they found that everyone had arrived. Taking advantage of the time when the food was not served, the vassals who had not seen each other for a long time kept whispering something to each other. Although the military life is hard, it is a little interesting to look back on it now. And this has obviously become a good talking point. It was also nice to enjoy the depressed eyes of the guys who stayed in the castle.

Although it is incredible, the sudden appearance of the ice and snow fleet, the crazy and bloodthirsty Normans, and the two dragons fighting in the air, are indeed seen by hundreds of thousands of people at the same time. Even if Shui Jue had already issued a gag order, and limited to the communication ability at this time, the impact of the incident had not yet been fully distributed. But everyone knows that such a big thing can't be hidden at all. In this matter, some emperors have a headache.

None of this has anything to do with Desmond, though.

After washing her hands, Ellie bounced up, intending to sit on her father's right hand - Ellie had grown up and now rarely sat in Sinloth's arms. And Sinloth's right-hand side has gradually become her exclusive seat. But today, there were suddenly a few strangers at the dinner. And her throne is also occupied.

Marianna, with long black hair, sat down to the right of Cynlos with a smile, and she was in the best years of a woman, even if she was wearing a simple long dress, she looked beautiful and moving. Just sitting there attracts most people's attention. Even the equally beautiful Arian Heard looked a lot dull because of the old-fashioned heavy armor. It's just that between the sparkling waves of the woman, it all fell on Xinluos's body, and she didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

Ellie was upset, Ellie puffed up her bun face, and Ellie tugged at the corner of Xinluos's clothes.

"Daddy!"

"Huh? Ellie, what's wrong? Xinluos, who had just relied on a little joke to make Mariana laugh a lot, looked back and saw the cute bun face of his beloved daughter. Sinloth chuckled. pinched her smooth and tender little face; "Why are you suddenly angry?"

Elianu pouted and pointed at Mariana. Although Sister Mariana looks good when she laughs. But that's where Ellie is!

Even if the little girl is domineering, she is so cute. Sinloth read her daughter's thoughts. I was amused by her. The viscount thought about it, this matter will be said sooner or later anyway, just while everyone is there, let's just say it directly.

Helmint, who was lying on the bed and chirping, was once again ignored.

Thinking of this, Sinloth clapped his hands. And the vassals and dukes also quieted down, waiting for his speech.

"Today, I am honored to have the Duke of Normandy as a guest in Desmond," Sinlos nodded at William, who smiled back. Sinlos pondered. continued: "While everyone is here, I have something to announce. But before I do that, I'd like to introduce you to two people."

"This is my own brother, Andiel. Lesenbra"

A handsome man in a black robe gestured to everyone, and everyone nodded in response. Seeing this, Sinloth continued to introduce: "This is Xanalot. Sasansan. At my invitation, I came to Desmond as a history teacher at Sunday School. ”

Sasansan?

The famous Sassanid of Persia?

Like the Salians of the HRE, the Sassanids were once royal families of an empire. But Sassanid did not become a governor of a province, and the Sassanid dynasty is still completely history. The Sassanids were no longer prominent.

Everyone knows the great name of the Sassanid Empire. As one of the few empires that fought to the end against the ancient empires, the Sassanid Empire was undeniably strong. But what I didn't expect was that it was today. Are there any descendants of Sasanians?

The green-robed witch didn't have the consciousness behind the famous family at all, and just waved her hand in response.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to introducing these two. I have also decided to announce one more thing. I, Sinloth. Fandro. Will marry Mariana. Lampeluki as a wife! ”

"What?!"

The knights who accompanied him naturally knew about it. But all of you who are left behind. Obviously, it's going to be a lot more exciting. Roland, who had just poured himself a sip of wine, didn't even hold back, and a sip of wine sprayed on Gino's body. They didn't receive any notice at all, why did they suddenly announce that they were going to get married?

Although Mariana was indeed beautiful, although Mariana sat on the right hand side of the lord, they already had some guesses. But when Sinloth did announce it, it was still a little surprising to them.

Why are you suddenly getting married?

Mariana is beautiful, everyone admits that. But she is a nun, although she is a clergy on the surface, but the status of a nun is somewhat special, and Mariana has not been in Desmond for a few months, so she is in a hurry to marry? You know, as people who serve the gods, nuns are logically not allowed to get married. Although Mariana is Orthodox and is not subject to this restriction, but this is also

Sinloth said that he was married! Although Fan Zhuo's reputation is not obvious, he is still a serious viscount family in the end. And the wife of the viscount family must be a nobleman, right? What's the deal with a nun?

However, this is a private matter for the viscount after all. And with the duke present, if you question it in public, it will inevitably embarrass both sides, and Bismal, who doesn't know the reason, cast a puzzled look at Sinloth.

Sinloth chuckled and patted Mariana's little hand. Mariana smiled sweetly at her lover, and the bright golden anger burned through her long dress.

it, Sunshine Knight!

Roland's eyes widened, a little incredulous. However, everyone present is knowledgeable, and the golden light that cannot be faked at all has already explained a problem. Several vassals glanced at each other and retracted their thoughts of admonition.

Although the other party is a nun, it doesn't matter if it's a knight of the sun. From the point of view of the retainers, a strong mother is more likely to give birth to a strong child. Although Ellie is nine years old, and Nanorka is eight years old. But for the nobles of this era, it is better to have more children than the danger of extinction.

As soon as the doubts in his heart disappeared, under the leadership of Bismalko, the vassals applauded one after another.

The vassals had apparently agreed with Mariana, and Sinloth was overjoyed. Although Ellie seems to be a little unhappy, but the little girl, it would be nice to coax more.

Xinluo touched Ellie's head, his eyes were extremely gentle: "Ellie, Mariana will be your mother in the future." You have to cherish the motherly love she gave you, don't be willful. ”

Hearing Sinloth's words, Mariana also smiled softly at Ellie.

"Whew"

Ellie's two golden ponytails seemed to have lost their spirits and hung down. Seeing that her sister seemed to be sad, Nanoka pulled her sleeve with concern.

"Sister"

And no matter what Ellie's mood is, dinner still has to go on. Xinluo also saw that his daughter was in a bad mood, so he hugged her in his arms and sat on the main seat. However, Ellie never got happy.

"Everyone, please try this beer from the Shinra Black Forest. Although it is not as strong as Norman honey, the mellow aroma of dark beer is also famous in the empire. And this bottle in my hand"

Faithful Claude is still dutifully announcing the names of the drinks to his guests, and there will be no problem with the drinks he has carefully selected. His eldest lady, however, was not interested, just staring at the silently burning candlelight.

Dad, it was snatched away. (To be continued......)

ps: She's not wrong with Sif either, in addition, I originally wanted to write Karen, but I suddenly felt that Sassanid was more domineering, so I temporarily changed it to Sasanan However, the name of the Sabbath Empire is also very good, what a pity
