When Al saw the banner unfurled, he knew that it was the heir of the North, Rontide Reinhardt, and Al was also wary of this guy because of the affairs of the Auston family.

As always, he has a distinctly military temperament, and he rides on a horse like a general who is about to lead an army. And this time he brought a different person, unlike the other nobles who brought their slave families, this time he came with dozens of well-armed and well-armed young hunters, and Long Taide led them as if he were really leading an army.

"Marquis Reinhardt is so imposing, it seems that you are bound to win the first place in this hunt, unlike me who is alone. Al said jokingly.

"Although Shenghui City is good, I still miss my hometown very much, I took my guards into the mountains to hunt when I was very young in the north, and there are not many such opportunities in Shenghui City. These are good hunters, and the ones I met in the nearest woodyard were my good brothers of Ronted Reinhardt. Dragontide stretched out his hand to introduce Al.

Hearing the Marquis Reinhardt say the word "brother" himself, the young people all blushed and held their heads high, obviously calling the Marquis of the famous Falcon family brothers, and they were all proud and honorable.

Al watched coldly from the sidelines, and he had to sigh at the mastery of this marquis's skill in buying people's hearts. Whether he is just talking or sincere, at least these dozens of good men are dead to him, serving him, as the old saying goes, "If you treat me as a soldier, I will repay you", in a world that values blood and class, this is especially valuable to be able to do this, and for this alone, this Dragontide Reinhardt is superior to the vast majority of the nobles of the Kingdom of St. Teresa.

After chatting with Al for a few words, Long Tide immediately asked, "Your Excellency the Marquis is different, you are the only one who came to the hunt this time, are you confident that you will come out on top alone?"

Al shook his head, "To tell you, I'm a withdrawn person, which is far inferior to you, I just want to bring people, but it's only two or three kittens, it's better to be alone." ”

Long Ted looked at El, who hadn't even raised the flag, and nodded thoughtfully. The two walked without saying a word for a while, and the atmosphere was very awkward, and suddenly Long Tide asked: "I don't know if you are free, I want to talk to you a few words." ”

"Aren't we talking?", Al was a little confused, but he understood when he saw the look that Long Tide gave him. The two slowed down their mounts, gradually gaining some distance from the group.

"Now there should be no problem, you can speak your mind without scruples. Al was the first to break the silence and said, he was also a little curious, what did this person want to say to him?

"I like Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia. Long Tide's first sentence startled El, such a private thing was said directly, should it be said that he really deserved to be a soldier with a straight intestine?

"Your Excellency Reinhardt's intentions for Her Royal Highness the Princess are known to the entire Shenghui City, and I would like to congratulate you on your success and return with a beautiful woman. Al said dryly, but his tone was really not congratulatory.

Long Tide glanced at Al and shook his head, "I grew up in the military camp since I was a child, so I really don't get used to the way the nobles speak in the clouds and around, and I can't learn anything. In my opinion, liking is liking, hating is hating, if it is my beloved, even if it is broken bones, I will dedicate myself to her, if it is my enemy, I will do my best to defeat him, and I will not hesitate to use all means. ”

Al listened in silence, he still didn't understand the meaning of what Rontide said, did he still feel that he was his rival?

"Her Royal Highness is fighting her brothers for the throne, as you know. Long Tide continued.

"The battle for the throne has stirred up the entire Shenghui City, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has never hidden her ambitions, even if I am not well-informed, I still know a thing or two. ", Al replied.

"I hope you can help Her Highness the Princess and make her wish come true. "I like Princess Sophia, so I can do anything for her, even if I bow my head and beg for someone." ”

Long Tide's straightforwardness really caught Al a little off guard, "Why did you find me? To be honest, this is Shenghui City, not the Western Realm, and the help I can provide is extremely limited. ”

"But after all, you are the heir of the Western Realm, as long as the two of us join forces, it is equivalent to the union of the Western Realm and the Northern Realm, which can cause a very big momentum and increase the chances of victory for Her Royal Highness the Princess. ", Long Taide said step by step.

Seeing that Al still didn't speak, Long Tide said directly: "In any case, you are also a friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and as far as I know, you have been avoiding meeting Her Royal Highness the Princess for a long time. I can understand that you don't want to get involved in this right and wrong, and I have no position to accuse you or order you anything, but I just want to ask Your Excellency: Do you like Her Royal Highness, and will you do something for her?"

Al opened his mouth in the face of Ron Ted's questioning, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his throat, Al found that he had nothing to say, "Can I just agree here, can I bear the consequences of getting involved in the battle for the throne?", Al asked himself silently in his heart.

Seeing that Al had not replied, Long Tide shook his head in disappointment and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I am being amorous, I originally thought that you were my rival, it seems that I have thought too much." Such a request is indeed reckless, please forget what I said. He saluted Al, pulled the reins and rode away, returning to his ranks.

Looking at Long Tide's distant back, Al remained where he was, and for some reason, he looked like a defeated general who had fled from the battlefield, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Long Tide's sentence "I thought you were my rival in love" stung Al deeply, did Long Tide think that he was wrong, or did he think that Al was no longer qualified to compete with him at all?

Whether it's a bloody battle with the orcs in the Snow Fortress or a failed spell in his study of magic, Al never gives up his desire to win. But this time, facing Rontide Reinhardt, Al felt that he was a loser for the first time.

On the battlefield called the love field, he lost completely.
