Chapter 556: Counterattack (8) (Second Update)
It was none other than Baldwin Donkray, who looked like he had just come down from the ring, his chain mail and his helmet in his arms, and he frowned slightly when he saw Gülen, but said nothing, just walked over and kissed each other on the cheek with the princess Leona, and then he walked to a door that connected to the reception room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoAlthough Birdwin's movements are fast, and Glenn can't look at them openly, who can escape the eyes of a thief, it seems that it is not only him and Memmy who have achieved good things.
Connecting to the living room was a small suite, the innermost was the bedroom, and the outside was a small living room, Berdwin hung his helmet next to Leona's cloak, and took off the broadsword, leaning it against the princess's flaming sword, the heavy chainmail was carried by Baldwin in his hand, he opened a chest and placed it on a piece of soft velvet, the enchanted velvet would clean and polish the chainmail, so that each small ring could be made visible, and Leona's chainmail was also on the side, which had been taken care of, emitting the characteristic shimmer of Mithril。
Berdwin stepped into the bedroom, and now, apart from the fact that he was not engaged, he and Leona were like a real couple - Baldwin swore that he had not thought of it, in fact, he always felt that the princess did not love him, but an incomprehensible infatuation, which came and went just as quickly, and for all these years he had waited for Leona to show a look of apology or boredom - although he was angry at Leona's betrayal of him on the Dragonfire Islands, there was always a "Ah, it's finally here." Even now it turns out that Leona still admires him, but Baldwin doesn't try to explain or waver about it.
So for Leona, he had to admit that the woman he loved, Berdwin didn't approach her as easily as he did with a woman like Mei Mi, and before leaving the Dragonfire Islands, their most intimate behavior was just a passionate kiss.
What prompted him, and Leona, to change, Birdwin thought, he didn't know what Leona was thinking, but he did feel the danger - even the most rigid knight had to back down when the Norman royal family in the Highlands withered and only Leona was left with a lone flower, not to mention that Norman's law of succession had been revised more than a year earlier. Leona would surely become the king of Norman in the future, and the first queen, and her status could be said to have jumped from the mud to the morning light, and people bowed to her humbly, calling her Your Highness, and perhaps still shouting "Your Majesty" in their hearts From silver platters with arms outstretched to gold tiaras encrusted with precious stones, from white bearskins to ivory wine glasses, from rich silk to smooth and fine linen, gold and silver coins quickly accumulated in the empty vault, turning from hills to peaks.
And beside Leona appeared more young lords and knights, who were personable, courteous, without the cracks and wrinkles of the weather, vigorous and gentle, and if you were to ask them if they were brave, one or two of them, fellow followers of Tyre, could compete with Baldwin, they had squires, servants, armies, dancers, pianos, and poetry, they had all the advantages of Birdwin, but not the disadvantages of Birdwin. Not to mention Leona, or any girl, even Berdwin, if he was a woman, would have chosen one of them instead of remaining with an old, irascible fallen knight.
When Leona hugged Berdwin tightly on a cold night, the former Lord of Thundercastle gave in for the first time.
As the relationship became more intimate, they almost regretted it a little—not that they did it, but that they didn't do it sooner, as if their hearts were just as plain in front of their lovers' eyes after they bare their chests. They curiously explored each other's bodies and hearts, and were surprised to find that they were so stupid, so stupid that they did not deeply appreciate the trust that the other person gave them, and such sweet love.
Like now, Berdwin could understand why Leona would use someone like Gülen, like she used the Baroness, even though he had objected, just like people need cats to catch mice in the night, so you can't blame cats for stealing fish and jerky—you can't let dogs catch mice just because they're so loyal.
He opened another small door that connected to the bedroom, behind the small door was a room made entirely of alabaster, and in the bathroom there was a magic tub, the water in it was always clean and steaming, Birdwin untied his long underwear and sat down slowly, the boiling hot water suddenly soaked into his chest, and their heat seeped into his skin, making Birdwin shiver slightly—he heard the door open and closed, the footsteps of someone familiar to him, it was Leona.
The princess walked over to the tub, which was just as high as her chest, and she put her hands in the bath water, and when they were warm, she applied the oil to the palm of her hand, massaging Baldwin's tense neck and shoulders.
"How many are today?"
"Seven," Berdwin replied, smiling, not only because he still had the strength and agility he had been able to win even if he had challenged seven knights in a row, but also because he remembered a little story about a black-haired spellcaster who had killed seven flies with one palm, and who had embroidered it on his coat in honor of the occasion. But people mistakenly thought that he had killed seven giants at once...... By mistake, he was not exposed, but was loved by a country and a princess...... How similar, and how different.
Leona also remembered the story, her smile widened, and the princess leaned down and leaned her lips against Berdwin's ear, "I have something to tell you about as well. ”
"I'm listening, I love. Baldwin grabbed her hand and said contentedly.
"Memmy is pregnant, and she has Gülen's baby. ”
Child...... Berdwin's heart throbbed a little, and with a hint of pain, he remembered how Penny had been overjoyed and eager for their child, but had betrayed him because of another man's child, no, it was all over, and he would have a child of noble blood, who was destined to inherit a powerful and vast nation from birth.
