That night, all the nearby inns were full, and those who had money could still have a place to stay, and those who did not have money were miserable, and Salian once again felt the sense of loss that he was powerless as a public official. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, because Duke Koenigs was very anxious, Salian took his friends to the Archbishop's Palace with him to inquire about the situation, so that the crowd could increase the momentum. It's a pity that the doors of the Archbishop's Palace are closed, and they hit a hard nail.

"My lord, isn't it okay for us to ignore these people outside? They are all distinguished guests invited by the Earl of the Palace, and if there is a disturbance, it will be difficult to clean up. ”

"Hmph! It doesn't matter what happens to the village ladies in the countryside of Schwartenn and the profiteers in the north, and the Duke of Koenigs can't do anything to me, so I don't need to pay attention to them. ”

"But, my lord, if the road is impassable and affects the wedding, it will be difficult for the Earl of the Palace and Bruno's throne to explain it at that time. ”

"I know this, don't you want to fix the road quickly, and it must be completed by tomorrow. ”

"My lord, now the personnel have been arranged, but the road is too damaged, and you don't want to pay overtime, so their progress is very slow now, and it is estimated that tomorrow will be difficult. ”

Having said that, His Excellency remained unmoved, and he simply let his attendants rush the construction progress. I still want to let myself pay more gold coins, but there is no door.

Another day without progress, and Salian began to be a little impatient, and in the afternoon he consulted with the Duke of Koenigs, and felt that he should take matters into his own hands. However, they were unwilling to give up their Majesty for nothing, and many of their secret abilities were not allowed to be made public, so in the midst of distress, the clever Lorana Ise came up with a good idea for Salian.

That night, for some reason, probably due to the negligence of the servants, a fire broke out in the heavily guarded Archbishop's Palace, but fortunately the fire was not large and was quickly extinguished. The only place where the fire broke out was the archbishop's bedroom, and fortunately His Holiness himself was only slightly frightened and did not burn. When the damage to the fire was counted, it was found that only two boxes placed under the large bed had been burned, leaving only one wreckage. Everyone expressed their sincere regret for his loss.

But when His Holiness fainted when he heard the news, it turned out that only the archbishop himself knew that the two chests contained his most precious collections, but whose provenance was inconvenient to disclose.

The next morning, the people who were blocked by the road found that the boulders blocking the road in front of the checkpoint had suddenly disappeared, and the ground had been tamped and leveled by unknown well-wishers. The anxious crowd cheered, believing that the Holy Lord had come down and that a miracle had happened, and only Salian and his party knew the real answer.

In a gilded carriage painted with the coat of arms of a sailing ship, Salian, who had just woken up, lifted the curtain to look at the noisy crowd outside, and said to Miss Schönek, a beautiful woman who was held in his arms: "You are such a little goblin, Lorana Ise, that you have made my cousin Count of the Frontier a thief, a rammer of the Imperial Earl guarding the border, and a porter of the princess of the Kingdom of Commerce. ”

As a ray of light came in, Miss Schönek shyly pulled up the blanket to cover her beautiful body.

She blushed and said, "Hey, Your Excellency, you don't think I'm a vixen, how did I behave for the first time last night?"

"Oh, it's unforgettable for me! If a beautiful woman like you can make me fall in love, what can I be dissatisfied with? Especially your legs are impressive!"

"Hehe, I can see that neither Miss Anna nor Estherfaria let you succeed. Miss Anna is noble, not to mention that I know Estfaria's character very well, she is the most arrogant flower in our Hanxie Alliance on the surface, but in fact she is very shy inside, even if she has friendship with you, she will not show it. ”

"yes, I didn't hope to get her, do I still have a chance?"

"Haha, that's up to you. And she only wants to reorganize the prestige of the alliance, but unfortunately it is not a hundred years ago, the ignorant people in those remote places have awakened, and the surrounding powers have also strengthened their royal power, only our empire still has to choose what kind of ghost emperor. Under such circumstances, the decline of the Han-Shea League was inevitable without the support of a strong regime. ”

Hearing these words, Salian hugged Miss Schnecke tightly in surprise.

He excitedly said to her, "Whahaha, I've really picked up a treasure, cutie." What you said inadvertently is exactly what I want. I had told Estherfaria that she could be the Prime Minister of the Empire, and now that I met you, I realized that I was wrong. Lorana Ise, you have far more political insights than hers. You're right, she ******** only think about the development of the Han Shea League and want to make the business bigger, but she doesn't understand that the failure of the alliance is inevitable, and all the struggles she makes without a centralized government are in vain. ”

"Well, I tried to persuade her, but to no avail. ”

"But why did you choose to commit yourself to me?

"It's not because of Estherfaria, since I met her the day before yesterday, she has spoken of you the most, and she has spoken of you as the last example of the knights, the most talented of the children of the family he has ever met, and she is strong in martial arts, gentle and considerate to women, and you can see that she is completely infatuated with you. We have known each other since childhood, and she is always the leader when we compete for something. Hehe, but this time, I snatched her favorite thing!"

Salian smiled and kissed the young girl in her arms on the forehead.

"You should see that I have a lot of feelings, and I have several girls with me now, and you should know Miss Teresa. If I were to get married, the Count of the Empire would be more suitable than me. ”

"You love to joke! First of all, the honest appearance of Count Achelin is not my thing, I just like your handsome but cunning type. ”

"Can I think you're praising me?"

"Haha! Secondly, I believe in Estherfaria's eyes, and what she likes must be the best. ”

"You think too highly of me, there are so many heroes in the world, I'm just a small nobleman in the countryside, think about three generations ago, our family was just an imperial knight. ”

"You don't have to be too modest, I am extremely optimistic about the future of your family, unlike Estfaria, she has a younger brother who can guarantee the continuation of the family, and does not have to worry too much about her marriage. And my father only has me as a daughter, if I marry, then everything in my family will become a dowry, since I will definitely become a victim of politics in the future, then wouldn't it be better for me to find a favorite object first?"

Salian comfortingly hugged the beautiful woman in his arms again.

"You've worked hard, too, Lorana Ea. Born into the life that this kind of family inevitably has. ”

"So since I met you, you must not miss it, although Estfaria is also working hard, but she can only give you financial support, and I can give you everything, including myself!"

"But you should be well aware that there is basically no way I will officially marry you. ”

"I understand this, it doesn't matter, I can be your mistress for the rest of my life. One day my father dies, and I take charge of the family, everything in our family will be yours, and the city of Lyubikai will give up its status as a free city of the empire and join the Neumark Territory!"

"Oops, that's impressive. You're actually the same as Estherfaria, thinking about your family and allies, albeit in a different way. I understood that if we had children, I would make him Baron Leubiquet, and that he would continue forever as a branch and integral part of Hohenstelingen. ”

"Thank you so much, Earl of the Borderland, I didn't look away!" Miss Schöneke took the initiative to kiss Salian.

Salian slapped his head suddenly.

"Whew...... It's so tiring to fall in love with you girls from merchant families, it's all about political negotiations! I just found out that you actually value my new mark territory the most, and now you are half the master. You've achieved your goal!"

The girl smiled slyly.

"Haha, Earl of the Borderland, don't you go back! I trust you completely, and I myself am the best proof. ”

"I promise you that you are now far away from Estheria, but since I got into your carriage yesterday, I was mentally prepared, and I will pay the price for tasting the sweetness. Are you satisfied?"

"Great, at last I won over her! Turn around, Lord Earl, I'm going to get dressed." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, dear Lorana Esi, you should comfort my wounded heart again, with your beautiful legs, oh, there are so many shoes in your carriage that I can't stretch my hands and feet to make movements, and I must find a comfortable bed when I have the chance!"

"Oops, help!"

While Salian was at ease, everyone else did their own thing. Anna had been in exactly the same state since she got the armor as Teresa had been when she first got the magic crystal, and she had never come out since she hid in the carriage where the armor was kept, wiping her treasure with a fine linen cloth all day. Yulia, Teresa, and Hilda got together and became a magical summit forum, and since Salian told Teresa who Hilda was, she had treated Hilda as a mentor like Yulia, and discussed strange things all day long. Miss Witt, though she sensed what was happening between Salian and Schönek, and knew that her good friend was digging into her own wall, was well cultivated, and though she was bitter in her heart, she ostensibly acted as if nothing had happened. He's a groom now, looking after nightmare beasts for his cousin.

As for the two chests of treasures that almost caused the heart attack of His Excellency Archbishop Kney, they have been divided according to everyone's preferences, and there are a few things that will be very helpful to Salian and them in the future.

In this way, everyone rested until noon in order to wait for Salian, and after lunch, the group finally continued on the road. Of course, the convoy is much larger now than it was when they started from Schwartenen, with the addition of vehicles from Duke Koenigs and Lorana Is.

Along the way, Salian and the two eldest ladies of the Hansa League stayed in the carriage, carefully summarizing the progress of the project so far, so that Miss Schönek could join in. Now that Salian has two investments, the only downside is that his stake has to fall. During this time, Salian observed Miss Witt closely, and felt that she had not changed in either the tone or the look of her speech, except for the circles under her eyes that were slightly reddened, for Estfaria had drawn a thicker costume than usual, and perhaps he had mistaken it.

When Lorana Ise was finally introduced to Duke Koenigs, the usually calm Duke was also shocked by the addition of a new harem to Salian in just one day, and he could see that the two young men were in a state of glue. After Salian and the others left, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking that the son of his former dream lover had completely inherited the "fine" traditions of the Hohenstlingen family, and might go one step further.

After two days late, the convoy finally arrived at its destination, the capital of the Palatinate of the Counts of the Palace, Palatinate. The economic and political center of the western part of the empire, built by the early generations of kings of the empire, was already quite large, and now it is even more prosperous under the rule of this skilled court count.

Salian also made a point of telling Hilda that it was also famous for its white wines. The ones that appeared at the wedding banquet must have been treasured by the Count of the Palace.
