When the ugly black building in the horizon came into view, Stannis finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt home again.

"Hah, cosy chateau beautiful home. "The lord on the horse was so excited that he couldn't help but compose his own thirteen lines.

It was a pity that no one in the queue behind him stood up and sang with him.

Robert even gave him a blank look, because the pack horse he was carrying was only loaded with more arrows than when he went, and they had picked them up on the battlefield, and Stannis estimated that he would not have to buy arrows from Albert's profiteer for at least a year.

At this time, Bachelor Romon was already standing at the entrance of the castle early, waiting for their triumphant return.

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard this time. ”

When Stannis dismounted, the old man hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"It's okay, nothing big happened in the territory in the past few days since I was away, right?"

Master Romon shook his head, "No, the territory is as calm as the flowing water of the Compi River. ”

"Oh, so I'm relieved. Stannis then turned his head and ordered, "Okay, Kan Jiaotou, you can take your people back, and everyone can go to Cook's stall to eat, this meal is my invitation, there is no need to assemble for training in the next two days, so have a good rest." ”

The soldiers erupted in a brief cheer before scattering.

Robert and Korodov yawned and prepared to go back to rest, but Stannis ghostly appeared behind them on their shoulders, "You two don't run, there's a special meeting." ”

"No, boss, there's a meeting! how do you like this kind of stuff now!" complained to Robert,

But Stannis couldn't do so much, and he couldn't help but say that he had all his staff in the dark room.

When everyone was seated, Stanis repeated what Sean Bernard had said to him, including wanting him to become Duke of the Empire and remove the current Duke from power.

After listening to this, everyone did not speak for a long time, because this kind of thing is not something they can touch.

"Your Excellency, how do you reply to him? Master Romon asked cautiously.

Stannis waved his hand, "What can I say, it's not good to say yes or no, so I said I'll go back and think about it." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and their solemn expressions did not ease.

"My lord, with all due respect, the situation is complicated right now. Korodov frowned.

"How?" Stannis was surprised that such a stupid big man could understand politics as well.

"Now it's obvious that you can't go on without doing what he tells you to do. ”

"What's the situation!" Stannis was shocked, this sentence did not mean that he was tied to the chariot of the conspiracy, and he couldn't jump out of the chariot if he wanted to, "Why do I have to continue, it's a big deal that I report his treasonous intentions to the Duke, and then the Duke will reward me for not being a good thing." ”

Korodov shook his head and categorically rejected his words, "This is absolutely impossible, if you denounce him to the Duke, he will definitely call you for a confrontation, and he will certainly not admit it then, and no one will believe that an imperial envoy will help you ascend to the duke's throne as a powerless and infamous lord like a street rat." ”

Stannis nodded thoughtfully, "Knight, what you said makes a lot of sense, but the last sentence can not be said more tactfully." ”

At this time, it was the turn of Master Romon to say: "On the other hand, if you do not agree to his request to participate in this conspiracy, he can strike a blow back and immediately report to the Duke that it was you who took the initiative to propose to him to climb the throne of the Duke, and then I believe that the Lord Duke will be happy to imprison you and confiscate your domain, even if your territory is barren and worthless, and no one wants to give it away." ”

"Well, scholar, although you have a point, but the last sentence actually doesn't need to be said......"

"Anyway, you're in a dilemma now, and the boss shouldn't have gone out with him then!" Robert complained to him.

"How do I know, look at that old fellow's kind eyebrow! The eldest nephew is still screaming so affectionately, who would have thought of digging a pit and waiting for me to jump in!" Stannis was about to cry.

The three of them knew that it was useless to talk too much, and that the meeting in this little dark room could not go on, so they bowed and withdrew.

Standnis was left alone, sitting there confused and pondering.

At the end of the day, he wanted to go out for a walk to soothe himself.

Out of the castle, before the sun had set, he finally returned to his territory, which gave him a sense of security and relief.

He was going to go to Luga to thank her for the badge of courage he had given him, and to relax with a big sword.

But he had barely left the castle when he felt that something was wrong, for the circus-like caravan was gone, not to mention the red tents and beautiful girls.

"Huh?" Stannis walked briskly over to the place where Luga and the others had been camped, where grass had begun to grow, indicating that they had been gone for a while, could it be that they had left on their own feet after leading their own army?

He knew that the pedantic old man had always had a problem with the girls, thinking that they had corrupted the ethos of the territory, but when he thought of the woman of the territory who had claimed to be a virgin with her 'green juice', Stannis was really suspicious of the simplicity of the people preached here.

I will never see those wild and beautiful Isaisi girls again!Especially the gentle and lovely big sister Luga, Stannis was filled with a sense of loss, and he intervened and kicked the grass boringly, wandering back and forth.

It was a childish child's voice that came to mind from the side, "Your Excellency Lord......"

Stannis turned his head and saw that it was a half-man tall boy, who was looking at him with some fear.

He smiled, "What's the matter, little brother?"

The child took out a clean envelope from his bosom and handed it to him, "This is what Sister Luga asked me to give to you, and she said that you must be back here, and gave me a few pieces of candy to wait for you here." ”

Stannis took the envelope, which still had the woman's body fragrance on it, and he gave the child a few copper coins, "Little brother, this is for you to buy candy to eat, and let me ask you another question, when did they leave?"

The child sucked his fingers and thought seriously, "Well, those big sisters left six days ago. ”

That was the day I left. Stannis was quick to draw conclusions.

"Thanks, little brother. He waved his hand at the child, who happily took the money and ran towards the grocery store.

Stannis stood up and glanced at the envelope in his hand again.

What do you say to me, Luga?
