Chapter 1: Duke Green
"Do you have a fiancΓ©e?"
"Well, no. β
"Okay, from now on, there you have it!"
Before Green could come to his senses at all, he saw a heroic female knight standing in front of him, looking at him with burning eyes.
"No, I'm mistaken, there is. β
"Okay, then from now on, you have two!"
Green looked confused.
"Duke Green, I'm so sorry, the little girl is naughty. A gorgeously dressed old man walked over and pulled the female knight behind him, the corners of his mouth twitching.
"It's getting late, Duke Green, and we'll go back first. β
After saying that, the old man pulled the female knight and turned away.
And with the departure of the old man, the people in the castle also left one after another, and in the end, only Grimm was left, and the gifts on the table were almost piled up.
It was only then that Green realized what the situation was.
The first point is that I have crossed over, from the earth, to a world full of fantasy, how to say it, it is probably the meaning of the knight to the left and the wizard to the right.
The second point is that the identity of the person he crossed through is very unusual, he is a prince of the Andrei Kingdom.
However, it is a little embarrassing that his prince does not seem to be very favored, and he has just come of age, and he was divided into dukes, completely away from the power center of the royal city, and lost the hope of competing for the throne.
And I didn't get any compensation, the territory is small and remote, and it's a town where birds don't.
A duke's domain is just a small town, and that's probably the biggest joke the kingdom has ever seen.
Green couldn't figure out what kind of thing a prince did to get into such a situation, except for the small territory, there was not even a housekeeper, the escort team came, but it was already gone.
The old man who left just now was the Viscount of the nearby territory, Viscount Brown, the Viscount was two levels lower than the Duke, but the territory of Viscount Brown was three times larger than that of Green.
The female knight was his daughter.
As for the words of the female knight just now, just like Viscount Brown said, Green just regarded it as a joke, this world does not advocate any free love, and Green does not think that Viscount Brown will look up to himself.
Even if he was once a prince and is now a duke, he has no name and no power at all.
The reason why Viscount Brown came to the banquet today and gave a lot of gifts was just to give King Andre face, and Green was no longer favored, and that was also King Andrew's son.
The king's son, the king himself doesn't like it, but if others bully, then it's not okay.
Therefore, Viscount Brown gave Green this superficial respect.
But if you want Viscount Brown to marry his daughter sincerely and take refuge in his power, it will be a bit difficult for a strong man, unless King Andre reattaches importance to Grimm, there will be this possibility.
As for marrying his daughter and secretly controlling Green, this is also an unrealistic thing, it is too risky to control a prince, who knows what kind of character this prince is.
In case the means are too drastic and both sides lose, then what awaits Viscount Brown is only destruction.
Except for Viscount Brown's father and daughter, they were all nearby barons and businessmen, and Green didn't care much.
"Smack!"
A banquet plate fell to the ground, scattering fragments.
"Lord Duke, yes, yes, I'm sorry!"
Only then did Green notice that he was not the only one in the castle, but there was also a maid named Sally, a little maid, thirteen or fourteen years old, who broke the plate and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Sally was not brought out of the palace by Grimm, but bought on the road, and Grimm forgot whether it was three or four silver coins, in short, a bit expensive for a little maid.
At this price, you can buy a strong adult slave.
"It's okay, clean up the broken plates, and then go to rest, and the rest will be dealt with tomorrow. β
Green wasn't very comfortable with this kind of hierarchical environment, but Green didn't want to act completely different from the previous Green, and his intuition told Green that it was not appropriate.
"But what about these gifts, Lord Duke?"
"It's okay, this is the Duke's Castle after all, no one would be so bold to come here to steal things, and these gifts are also dispensable to me, so it doesn't matter if you lose them. β
Green is telling the truth, even if Green is no longer favored in the palace, he will get some rewards more or less, and Green's relationship with some princes in the palace is okay.
In addition, Green's mother left a lot of things to Green before she died.
With these things, Green is enough to be richer than a family like Viscount Brown that has struggled for hundreds of years, so it is normal to look down on these gifts that Viscount Brown specially selected.
With that, Green went back to his room.
After a while, Sally came in.
"Lord Duke, the hot water is already boiling. β
Green nodded, and suddenly asked, "By the way, have you eaten?"
"After eating, I secretly ate two cakes at the banquet, which were so beautiful that I couldn't help it. With that, Sally gave Green a timid look, because Green hadn't allowed her to eat at the banquet before.
Sally was afraid that Green would punish her, but she was honest.
"It's okay, I'm going to wash up, you can go and rest early. β
"Lord Duke, don't you need me to help you wipe your back today?"
"No need. Green shook his head, and although he wanted to pretend to be exactly the same as the previous Green, there were some things that Green couldn't bear, such as asking Sally to wipe his back.
After all, Sally was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
After washing up, Green returned to his bedroom, and in the deepest part of the hallway, Green was not too dissatisfied with his current state, because Green was not the real Green.
Green also has those memories before, but after all, they are other people's memories, and they don't have such real feelings, so naturally they can't experience the huge sense of disparity.
In comparison, it is easier for Green to compare his own living environment between time travel and the present.
In this way, Green can only be described by two words: satisfaction, from the middle and lower classes of society, to a prominent dog in an instant, this experience is like winning tens of millions of jackpots.
As long as you don't have any ambitions, it's not difficult to live a leisurely life for a lifetime.
After nightfall, Green closed his eyes, and in a short time, he fell into a dream.
And at this time, a small figure entered the room, timidly glanced at the sleeping Green, and then weakly climbed onto the corner of the bed, curled up, as much as possible not to occupy space.
Suddenly, Green's brows furrowed, and a sharp pain pierced his brain, making Green unable to help but struggle violently in his sleep, holding his head with both hands.
The little maid opened her eyes, gritted her teeth, and hugged the struggling figure, pressing her body as close as she could, as if she thought that this would reduce the man's pain.
