Chapter 121
"Oh? Hmm~What about the world~~", Gus sighed as he played with the true red Behlet in his hand, and then flipped the raised side back with his fingers.
But the moment he turned, the behlet's confused protrusion suddenly changed, and the top eye opened one after another, and the bottom eye opened, and the color of the pupil was similar to that of Griffith, and he looked at Gus fixedly after a few rolls.
Oh——!!! Gus was caught off guard, and threw it up directly as if reflexively, and then unsteadily fell out of the railing behind him, and even his beloved weapon was put down by him.
Seeing this, Griffith, who was next to him, hurriedly reached out and took the Behlet, and then saw Gus staggering and falling backwards, and added to stabilize it.
With a bang, Gus, who turned around, swung a sharp swing and grabbed the hilt of the fallen sword, and then breathed a sigh of relief in a cold sweat behind his back.
"Well, heh, hahahahaha~~", Griffith on the side couldn't help laughing, holding his stomach and standing on one foot with laughter.
This made Gus look at him with a complaining face, "It's disgusting, don't scare me!" ”。
"Hahaha," Griffith laughed, but quickly reduced his momentum, looked back and suddenly smiled brightly, and squeezed the Behelet in his hand to smugly speak.
"Not bad~", this guy already knew.
…… Gus looked at him a little blankly, but after a moment the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
"Really, you really won't change in this regard~~"
Hearing this, Griffith leaned back against the railing, "I won't become ......", the autumn wind blew, rolled up the fallen leaves melodiously hovered in the air to draw a relaxing trace, and for a moment the wind sang delicately and gently in the ears, a kind of calm spontaneously arose.
"Why ......", Gus continued the topic just now, but let Griffith, whose silver hair fluttered in the wind, slightly "Huh? He turned his gaze.
"Why did I come to save only one of my subordinates?"
Griffith froze, turning one hundred and eighty degrees to face the view on the other side of the railing.
"There's no reason, do I need any more reason to stand up for you~~", Griffith said leisurely with one hand on his cheeks as the wind blew through his silver hair.
The next moment this sentence came out of his mouth, there was a kind of silence between the two of them, only the sound of the autumn wind and falling leaves, echoing continuously.
Oh, Griffith's blue eyes looked at Gus, and Gus also looked at him, and after recognizing the serious pure friendship in the other party's eyes, the friendship between men, Gus couldn't help but panic with his eyes.
I was embarrassed to stumble, "That's... What, I..."
"Are you ...... from your injuries?" but at this moment an old voice suddenly interrupted Gus's unspeakable words, accompanied by the soft sound of the guard of honor as it landed.
The two of them hurriedly looked at the source of the sound, but not far from the top of the stone steps, a queue of the highest level of ceremonial honor surrounded a middle-aged and elderly man with majesty and bearing.
A graceful and luxurious atmosphere, such as a substantial face, accompanied by royal nobility and elegance, edelweiss tense edges, sapphire blue big scab will be tightly wrapped around the body.
The middle-aged and elderly man was like an Aryan race, with a high forehead, a meticulously combed black and brown hair and beard, and a kind but dignified complexion, which was the king of the kingdom of Mirante.
He was followed by the powerful Grand Duke in ornate aristocratic armor, as well as clergy with Mediterranean hair, and scholars with a strong bookish atmosphere.
And in the middle, two young boys, who knew at first glance that they were children from aristocratic origin, looked innocent and cute, but deliberately walked forward side by side with serious expressions, holding the crown at the same time, and walking forward with the treasure box.
There were a few people in the back, and they couldn't be seen clearly from the angle of Griffith and Gus, but it didn't matter, because Griffith had already found the other party, so he leaned down and squatted down to strictly observe the etiquette to show respect and submission to the other party.
But Gus was not, he grew up on the battlefield, he didn't know much red tape, and he had no concept of status in his mind, so he pestled his big sword on the ground, like a man who had nothing to do, and looked straight at the people who were getting closer and closer.
However, Griffith, who was beside him, soon noticed that his friend was wrong, and exclaimed very quietly but aggravatedly: "Hey! Gus—"
And at this moment, because his honor was covered up, his incompetence was highlighted, and he was the younger brother of the king of Griffith, who had always looked down on the pauper, that is, the white dragon general who had always regarded the Eagle Regiment as a thorn in his eye, his eyes flashed evilly, and his face trembled directly.
"You barbarian, you are rude in front of the king!!!"
However, Gus still stood there without care, and in the eyes of cultivated people, he was indeed as ignorant and fearless as the mountain villager.
This made the two little boys on the side couldn't help but stiffen their faces at the moment, and they looked at each other and snickered.
As if he had discovered something in the child's laughter, Gus quietly glanced at Griffith beside him, but at a glance he saw his friend's blue eyes glaring at him viciously.
With a sigh, Gus had to compromise at the insistence of his friend, and with the light sound of the big sword grinding against the ground, Gus's tall and muscular body leaned down and learned to kneel Griffith on one knee.
"Well...... It's okay, raise your head~", the king's voice sounded inclusively, and leaders are always full of mercy for meritorious officials.
Then Gus and Gus listened to each other's words, and raised their heads with a brush, and looked at the king, who was high up and set off by a gorgeous costume.
"Griffith! The Eagles led by the Emperor have always been invincible—", the king complimented with great appreciation.
"Thank you for your praise......," Griffith said humbly.
However, the general of the White Dragon Knights on the side, the king's younger brother didn't like to listen to it, he had long been holding back the fire, and he couldn't bear such a "pariah" like Griffith, and he couldn't hold his head up when he pressed his White Dragon Knights down, how could he be happy to hear his brother praise him like this.
"Your Majesty, such a compliment ...... a new regiment leader", this guy with a full face deliberately added an accent to the word "mere and bad", and created a hint of "such a loss of majesty" in his tone.
However, his brother, His Majesty the King, who is also his monarch, waved his hand, "It's okay......
Then he looked at Griffith, as if encouraging, and said, "There are indeed those who do not like you who are of common origin, but by virtue of this prestige and form, you cannot win on the battlefield, but it is better to repay the expectations of you who are not bound by form. ”
From then on, he was also reminding General Bailong behind him, and reminded him to be more restrained.
And because of this, his younger brother, who was full of flesh behind him, also remembered that after he was captured and ransomed with a large amount of money, those ministers talked among themselves about how far inferior to Griffith of the Eagle Group, and his face was ugly and unpleasant.
Obviously, in this era with a background similar to the Middle Ages, these aristocrats have a serious aristocracy, and they have unreasonable jealousy and even disdain for those who are better than them, as long as they are not well-born, and their existence is also a cancer of a country and a burden of the times.
However, this king is a wise and shrewd fellow, deliberately cultivating talents like Griffith who cannot be compared to those corrupt aristocratic classes, and cultivating emerging forces that can balance those noble classes.
Griffith was not a fool either, and he probably understood the twists and turns, and he glanced at the disdainful Duke without a trace, and humbly and politely responded to the praise that the king on the other side had just received.
"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, I am happy and convinced ......"
"Oh? ~", but when he looked up, he saw behind the pillar of the gate shaft a little farther away between the bodies of the king and others, a delicate and lovely, pure temperament, dressed in a delicate Luo skirt, full of gold ornaments, and a girl with a princess hair, timidly and cautiously peeked at him, and was shy after his gaze.
"The lady there......," Griffith couldn't help but read as he marveled at the other's beauty and temperament.
"Huh? ~", the king was also puzzled by his cold words, and looked back at his younger brother behind him.
Then the girl was even more shy, her snow-white face was covered with a layer of tender powder, and her petite body froze there, and her eyelids with beautiful eyelashes lowered shyly.
Then the king let out a burst of happy laughter, as if to show off his most precious treasure to Griffith, "Oh, hehehe~ This is my daughter Charlotte, because she doesn't like serious warriors, so she rarely shows her head." ”
"Ah~Charlotte~", the king beckoned to his pearl dotingly, but the little girl let out a delicate and shy sound.
This made the king a little embarrassed in front of his most admired courtiers, "Because she is an only daughter, she is a little overindulgent, please forgive Griffith......"
Griffith bowed slightly in understanding.
"Let's go, Charlotte." The king shouted, and walked away.
And Her Royal Highness the Princess, holding the hem of her skirt with her delicate and lovely hands, hurriedly followed, as if she couldn't wait to leave this place that made her ashamed.
However, Griffith did not pay attention to the princess's shy appearance, but looked at the two people who were unexpectedly followed by the duke who snorted coldly at him.
A woman who is charming and charming, and a woman who tightly wraps her hot body, and another scholar-like, but tall and strong, glasses man who only looks at the woman.
"How are you ——!!?" Gus seemed to be about to burst out and was about to shout angrily, but was stopped by Griffith.
The two guys were indifferent, but they were very polite, but they indifferently gave a slight salute and left with the team without saying a word.
