Chapter 318: Slave Girl (16)
He smiled sweetly and asked, "Awake?" ”
Ye Xinlu nodded "um". Although she hadn't gotten off the car yet, her soul power had discovered that there was another carriage at the post station, and the people in the car...... Huh.
Segal went to arrange accommodation problems.
The coachman of the carriage that had arrived before them saw a handsome young man disembarking from one of the carriages of the procession on this side, and immediately greeted him with joy, and called, "Master Andre! ”
Andrei was not surprised to see him: "Scharlt, why are you here?" ”
"Festina was very worried about you when she saw that you had not returned for so long, so she begged me to take her to the North Caucasus to find you. ”
"Nonsense!" Andrei snorted.
Schart hurriedly said: "I also advised her that the North Caucasus is too dangerous, and now that the war is coming to an end, I believe you should go home soon." But she just wouldn't listen...... Master, Festina may be too worried about you, so she has to go to the North Caucasus regardless of her safety, you ...... You must not blame her. ”
Ye Xinlu felt that the heroine probably heard of her prestige, so she was worried that Andre would empathize and don't fall in love, haha!
Andrei said: "Fortunately, we bumped into each other here, otherwise if you really took her to the North Caucasus, I can't imagine how dangerous it would be." How did you do it, she said she would take it out if she wanted to come out? ”
Ye Xinlu had already gotten out of the car with Peter, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but lightly raise his lips and smile disapplausively.
Peter asked curiously, "Testina, what are you laughing at?" ”
Ye Xinlu: "It's nothing. ”
Peter was depressed, "You lied. What's the matter that you're still hiding from me? ”
Ye Xinlu had no choice but to whisper to him: "Don't you think it's strange what the serf in Duke Andre's Mansion said just now? ”
Peter pondered for a long time, then thought of something, and said, "This serf was ordered by a young lady named Festina to take her out of the house. However, how could he call that young lady by her first name, without adding an honorific title.
That young lady...... Could it be that she was a slave girl who was particularly favored by Andre, so she was pampered and arrogant, and the serfs in the house did not dare to disobey her orders at all. ”
Ye Xinlu: "You are smart, you can guess eight or nine at once." However, I think Festina's background is not so simple, she must have noble blood in her body, otherwise the old Duke Ivanov would not raise her as a noble lady. ”
Peter nodded abruptly, and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that there are always many strange things in these nobles' mansions, and it seems that I will have to visit the mansions of my friends in the future." In the past, I stayed in the palace and rarely went out, which really limited my knowledge and ideas! ”
Andre followed Schart and walked quickly to the post station, and happened to see Ye Xinlu and Peter's heads together, the two seemed very intimate, an obscure look flashed in his eyes, and he always felt like something important was missing in his heart.
But he quickly suppressed this thought. He didn't have the ability to compete with Crown Prince Peter for anything. Moreover, with Testina's talent, if she marries an ordinary knight, the emperor is afraid that he will be worried about the future ownership of imperial power.
Therefore, he quickened his pace and followed Scharlt to find Festina, but a voice kept echoing in his heart: "I didn't expect Testena to be such a strange woman, using soldiers like a god!" ”
He thought that it might be that Lemon White had kept telling him this sentence during this time, which had made his ears callous, and it had made it reverberate like a spell planted in his head.
He felt that as long as he stopped listening to this sentence after a while, he would forget this sentence, and he would also forget the miraculous military art and military skills that he had seen in the North Caucasus during this time.
Within a few days, the team had arrived safely in the imperial capital. Emperor Charles himself greeted him outside the imperial capital, and soon after, he decreed that the Duchess of Testena Fenning could be hereditary viscount.
Who knew that within a few days, someone from the palace summoned Ye Xinlu into the palace to face the saint, saying that the crown prince Peter had directly stated to the emperor that he wanted to marry Miss Testena. Fenning had long guessed that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect Peter to be so composed, and now he stood up.
Now it is only now, the military merits established by Testena are only the war in the North Caucasus, and more military merits are needed, and the emperor needs to believe in Tersthena's military talents like a god, and the emperor can agree to what Peter proposes.
After Ye Xinlu entered the palace, the emperor didn't see any joy or anger on his face, and asked her: "Testenna, Peter asked me to promise you a marriage contract with him, what do you think?" ”
Ye Xinlu: "It is an honor to be loved by His Royal Highness Peter. ”
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, revealing a smile that seemed very sunny, and said: "However, you also know the identity of Peter, he is the only heir of my Chuchar royal family who can inherit the throne, and his marriage must help my Chuchar Emperor."
I had previously compared my thoughts to Princess Acelia of the Koster Empire, which borders my country in the southwest. She is the only heir to the throne of the Koster Empire, and after marrying Peter, she has a child who will definitely be able to inherit the throne of the Koster Empire. ”
"Father, the Emperor......" Peter called eagerly, but was stopped by a cold eye knife from the Emperor.
Ye Xinlu smiled lightly, was silent for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty has a vision." Although the territory of the Nakoster Empire is far less vast than that of our Chuchar Empire, its products are extremely rich, and it is said that the grain output of every inch of land can be three times that of our country. If my Chuchar Empire had such a 'granary of the world' as the background, what would I be afraid of a stalemate? ”
Peter's face flushed, and he didn't know whether he was angry or shy, and asked, "Testenna, why, you also agree with your father's proposal?" ”
Ye Xinlu: "The minister wants to say that it is a good thing that the son of His Royal Highness Peter can inherit the throne of the Koster Empire in the future, but it is far less pleasant than directly incorporating the Koster Empire into the territory of my Chuchar Empire, what does Your Majesty think?" ”
The emperor was stunned and then laughed.
Peter worried: "Although the Koster Empire is not as vast as our country, it is the richest of the nearby countries, and their military strength is not inferior to ours, if we forcibly send troops to invade, I am afraid that we will not be able to win easily." ”
The Emperor asked, "What do you think, Testenna?" ”
Ye Xinlu: "The minister only hoped to include the Koster Empire in the territory of my Chuchar Empire, and he never thought of starting a war, let alone an invasion war. ”
The emperor said curiously: "Oh? If we don't start a war to invade the Koster Empire, how can we include it in the territory of our Chuchar Empire? ”
