The southern border of the empire, the county of Karazan, the city of Azuchi.

In the center of Azuchi's training ground, two knights are engaged in a fierce confrontation, they are armed with a bladed real sword but not armored, showing that the other is very confident in each other's strength and their own strength.

Their swordsmanship is unpretentious and unpretentious, not beautiful, but every move seems to have a thousand powers, swift and ferocious, this is a murderous swordsmanship, a move to fight on the battlefield.

In a circle around them, there were many soldiers like sea sand, who watched the knights in the field with full attention, sometimes amazed, sometimes shouted and cheered.

"Come on, Edgar people. ”

"Come on, Edgar people. ”

........

Edgar's prestige among the soldiers was clearly higher relative to his opponents.

But even so, there was no shortage of people who were shouting for the mighty knight who could match Edgar, and the knight's name was Fahan.

The Far-Han knight is the wandering knight that Julian met on his way to the imperial capital. The wandering knight impressed Julian with his strong will and unwavering faith, and before parting, Julian gave Fahan a handwritten letter that he could use to find Edgar in Azuchi, which is why Fahan was in Azuchi.

Fahan was a powerful knight, and so was Edgar, and the two were evenly matched.

The two steel swords struck each other, emitting a crisp trembling sound.

"That's it. ”

The two of them lowered their swords at the same time, and if the two of them were evenly matched, they would probably be difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat at sunset.

"Good work. ”

"Good work. ”

The two bowed at the same time, this was not the first time they had tried their swordsmanship, but they had never won or lost.

Edgar wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and his heart was full of emotion.

At first, when the shabby-clad wandering knight came to look for Edgar with Julian's handwritten letter, he even wondered if he might be a liar.

"It's worthy of the person that Lord Julian has taken a fancy. Edgar sighed.

There was no need for words between knights and knights, only the authenticity was confirmed with a sharp sword, and after a competition, the two formed a deep friendship.

"But the Edgars are also very good. ”

"Thank you, Miss Freya. ”

Edgar took Freya's water bag and gulped it down, his throat aching like a desert after a burning fire.

"If I keep trying, I'm afraid I'll lose. ”

"How is that possible!"

In Freya's eyes, Edgar is the embodiment of the knight, and the knight is also a flawless being.

She has an almost fanatical adoration and love for Edgar.

Edgar stared at Fa Han, who was still at ease after a few trials not far away, "I wouldn't lose to him if I talked about swordsmanship alone, but that guy is like a monster, and his abundant physical strength is like an endless sun, and he will never fail." ”

If the competition continues, Edgar does not have the confidence to beat Fahan.

"You are too modest. ”

How could Freya believe Edgar's words, which she considered a knight to possess as a virtue of humility.

Edgar smiled and didn't refute, annoyed by the Mogg lady's near-blind admiration for herself.

"Your Excellency Fahan, I'm going back to the Earl's Court to report to Madame on the affairs of the territory, do you want to go along?"

"No need, I just promised this group of boys to teach them swordsmanship. ”

"Alright, I'll say goodbye first. ”

Julian left Azuchi for the Imperial Capital, where he appointed Christine as acting lord and took charge of all affairs in Karazhan's domain.

Of course, Christine was just a peasant girl, so how could she know how to govern the territory, so Edgar was always by Christie's side on Julian's orders.

"That's all, ma'am. ”

Edgar handed over the paperwork he had put together on Christine's desk.

Christine hung her head wistfully, these complicated documents related to taxes, agriculture, commerce, and disputes between the people and the people, these are all things that are difficult for a peasant girl to understand, but fortunately, with Edgar's help, Christine gradually knows how to deal with these papers.

"I've already dealt with the paperwork, and I've marked the comments on it, you just have to decide whether to approve it or not. ”

"It's reliable, I don't know what to do if you're not around. ”

Christine smiled.

"It is my duty, and before I leave, Lord Julian, I will do my best to assist you. ”

Edgar, the exemplar of knighthood, the aggregation of virtues. He never despised Christine because of her origins, and always did his best to assist her, never going beyond rudely accusing Christine of ignorance.

"Julian, really, why would you ask me to do this. Christine said coquettishly.

"Because adults trust you. ”

"Trust me?"

"Well, maybe you are not noble enough and not good enough, but the Earl has given you the whole of Karazan, isn't that proof that he trusts you?"

Christine now controls the entire county of Karazan, which is no longer what it used to be, and is already one of the most powerful people in the entire South, and no one dares to underestimate it.

Maybe it's just his bad taste. ”

"No, the Earl may be absurd on the surface, but in reality every decision is well thought out. ”

"Thank you, Edgar. ”

A happy smile appeared on Christine's face, and she gently stroked her lower abdomen, and a new life was conceived in it.

At the moment, this woman is happy.
