Province of Prior.

In a big battle, all the lords' banners around the mountain fort - Benla city were replaced,

Although the city of Benla has not changed its lord, the original Grey Eagle Banner has disappeared because the lion and the eagle cannot coexist in the territory of Adolf.

The golden lion is the patent of the lord, so the city lord "Ebullming" obtained the permission of the "silver lion", the size of the lion is only half of the lord, the background color and the surrounding pattern can be selected, and finally the totem is changed to the silver lion low golden sun (golden lion), there are several lily leaves arched under the golden sun.

Time flies, after the New Year, it will be May immediately, this year's rain, more abundant than in previous years, there is no pest, the ears of wheat are very robust, many plains rich in grain, the wind blows, the wheat is like waves, the ears of rice are full of sweat, it is very spectacular.

If the people do not die of hunger, there will be few things.

Compared to the jubilation of the country, Gaul was slowly regaining its strength, and more than half a year after becoming a lord, Afkana finally waited for Ebulmin to reply and invite her to the city of Benla.

During this time, Afkana has changed from being unfamiliar with the management of the territory from the beginning, and has become presentable, rearranging the lord's house, selecting smart and diligent people from the people, and establishing a mini management team.

.

Beekeeper, Mountain Ranger, Forest Keeper, Executioner, Priest, Midwife, Gardener, Steward, Treasurer, Infantry Captain...... , and the "Law of the Lords" written by her own handwriting.

After months of hard work, she had to put on a thick layer of white powder at the corners of her eyes to cover the dark halo at the corners of her eyes, and her extremely white skin was also dyed with a few traces of bronze.

She walked, and her steps were not as cautious and graceful as before, but generous and fast.

After receiving the notification letter, the text on the letter made Afkana read it for a long time, whether it was written in Saxon language, or in her sister's own handwriting - because it was her sister's habit to have a hook at the end of each paragraph.

On this day, she rarely put down her territorial labor, gave herself a breather, and prepared a gift to go to the city of Benrah.

Recently, there were more weavers in the territory, and Afkana had asked them to hurry up and get a woolen suit to give to her sister, who loved to wear it.

At night, the maid lit the oil lamp, Afkana looked in the mirror, and when the maid helped put on the skirt and silk dress that she hadn't worn for a long time, it was smooth and tender to the touch, and the skirt that would be lifted when the wind blew made her a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't figure out how she liked this kind of clothing before.

"You're beautiful, sir. The maid applauded.

"I prefer to be praised for greatness in the future. ”

.

The next day, she left for the city of Benrah, where she met her sister, Ivers, and her brother-in-law, Ebourmin, who had been separated by several years.

"Welcome, Sir Swordflower. Ebrumin said with open arms. In recent months, the nobles of the province of Prije have addressed her with the banner of Afkana, and Afukana herself has preferred it.

But Ebourmin's secretary, Danle, immediately made a look of the eye to make Ebburn lower his arms, and he almost forgot the strange rumors about the relationship between the eldest sister-in-law and the young master.

After the welcome dinner, it was the two sisters' turn to be alone, and Ivers was annoyed that the third sister would become so stupid, because of Afcana, the two did not say a word, and they did not see each other until months after the message, and it was also because Ivos, who was still angry, delayed, but after Afkana cried, the two sisters hugged - they were the only relatives.

After the reconciliation, Ivers looked at her sister carefully and found that she was different, she was still a great beauty, but she was far from her impression of the beautiful image of an angel, and she was more heroic.

My sister's hands were rougher, and there were fine scars, and her figure was a little more fleshy, and her long hair, which she cherished very much, disappeared, and her body looked very upright, like a knight in military uniform, and she didn't show it at all...... The window of the soul is also different, it looks dim and unrecognizable, and it no longer shines.

"Raul Dan Cyncia" - The same is true of the eyes of the father of the two daughters, Ivers once asked her father Raul, and the father replied to her, "Son, some people have seen too many things, and their hearts have changed, and their eyes will be like this." ”

"So how can it be restored?"

"Have you ever seen black paper stained white? ”

......

......

Speechless for a while, Afkana took the initiative to speak, telling a lot of interesting stories about the two when they were young, and slowly mending the relationship between the two sisters.

During her seven days in Benla, Afkana learned all about the fort and how the other lords built fortifications, governed their territories, and adjudicated their affairs, especially the training of soldiers.

Half a year ago, after she began to hold a sword and dig with the peasants for a few days, she found that the former could accumulate the strength of the territory more quickly and reduce the strength of the enemy.

Especially her fief is far away from the province of Grad, in case the lord turns against the royal family again, the first person to bear the brunt must be herself.

Ebelmin will not make money, and can even be said to be a loser, but he is a fighting nobleman, and he has a very good strength in martial arts.

Ebmin was keen to impart his combat experience, which taught Afkana and the soldiers she brought with her a lot. During this time, she held three meetings with Ebelmin, and said a set of long-winded cooperation plans, in the name of helping each other, but in fact she wanted to use the power of others to expand her own territory.

Dangle hinted many times, but Ebor did not allow it.

The flag was changed, and Ebring Ming's bold personality was still there, and when he went to the Moonlight Palace to meet Randall a few days ago, the young master also instructed himself to let himself cooperate well with Afkana, so he obeyed his words, and even more boldly lent twenty people to this beautiful sister-in-law, and the expenses of these soldiers were also borne by himself.

A few smiles from Afkana were exchanged for a financial expenditure that made "Dangle" miserable.

The cartload of gifts she had prepared when she left for the city of Benla was only half of the money that could be used by Avkana, and when she returned to the territory, she had twenty more sturdy soldiers with armor and swords, four horses, and a box of gold and silver coins.

"My good sister Ivers has followed such a fool, and sooner or later she will suffer, and it is ...... right choice that Benla City should be managed by me. "Money is power, and the light emitted by the coins makes Afkana feel very good, and she wants to ask the blacksmith of the fiefdom to forge a few more swords and shields.

Last month, she sent a convoy to do business, and all the goods were robbed, and if others could rob her, she could also take it back, and she also had to take advantage of the conflict with the neighboring lords over the forest boundary and the distribution of water.

When he returned to the territory where he lived, it was in the afternoon, and the scorching sun forced the lords to end their day's labor, and seeing so many new soldiers entering the territory, the lords immediately bowed down to the lord and did not dare to raise their heads.

That's right, "nobles and commoners, just the division of labor is different", Randall, a nobleman born with a golden spoon, of course he doesn't understand, yes, he is naïve to say this kind of, he himself is not a little hard, there are chariots and horses with him, and he eats delicious and delicious ....... ”

Two months ago, when Afkana returned to the city of Peon on business, she met Randall, who had been vomiting for a few days after taking a new drug for the lower pull-down method, but it did not work, so he had a very bad temper and had no good words for her.

A month and a half ago, Afkana used Randall's intelligence money to buy other things, and when the funds were insufficient, she re-applied and attached the good development of the territory, wanting to ask Randall for a reward, but finally got a "reprimand" letter from a caravan passing north from Peon, which included Randall's seal to make her more frugal, which made Afkana very unhappy.

From Randall's point of view, he doesn't need the territory of this thousand people to be prosperous, just do the duty he assigned.

But Afkana's heart is getting bigger and bigger, especially after she is more and more able to ride horses, she always likes to gallop on the fields of the territory when the sun is about to set, chasing the sunset, the wind is howling in her ears, at this time, in this small world - "I am like a god".

Every word she utters can become law, and if she doesn't want to see on the ground, then a word of mouth, in a few days, there will not be a single chicken feather in the four villages.
