Victor was speechless for a moment. Sophie's beautiful purple eyes turned to Anna next to her and asked, "Are you the daughter of Audair and Fred?"

Anna was taken by Sophia's bright light, and stepped forward slightly crampedly and saluted, "Aunt Sophia, oh no, Teacher Sophia, good day." I'm your student Angelina Branstätt York, and you can call me Anna. ”

Sophia smiled slightly, and said with a bow, "Since the convoy of Lady Sylvia and the Duke of York has left, there is no need for us to enter the city again. Anna, get back to your carriage and the convoy will set off immediately. ”

Anna lifted her skirt, gracefully saluted, and obediently boarded her carriage.

Sophia raised her hand to summon a middle-aged knight in full armor, and instructed Nelson: "Lord Nelson, Knight Nicholas will be in charge of escorting the convoy for the rest of the trip, and you can hand him over." ”

"As you wish, ma'am. Nelson nodded, and walked to the other side with the middle-aged knight to hand over the guards.

"Alice, the chores for the convoy have been handed over to my head maid, Dani. Victor rides in my carriage, and you ride in his carriage. ”

"Yes. Alice bowed and bowed respectfully. Facing the aura of the main mother, she was not as lively and cute as she used to be, and she didn't even dare to look up at Victor.

Sophia grabbed Victor's arm and said coquettishly, "Honey, are you still satisfied with my arrangement?"

"This is your authority. ”

Sophia naturally took over the control of the convoy, but Victor was not in the mood to care about such a trivial matter, and he politely said to the old butler: "Steward Morrison, let's go now, please go back." ”

"I wish you a smooth journey. Butler Morrison bowed with the attendants of Rose Manor.

Victor bowed his head and turned to walk towards Sophia's carriage. Caligula followed his master step by step, and Victor gently commanded before getting into the carriage, "Aka, go to Nelson." ”

"Oh. The big stupid man spread his legs and ran towards Nelson like a frightened rabbit. The first time he saw a barbarian taller than himself, Rigozzo had just frightened him.

Natalia, who was wearing a yellow dress, looked at Caligula wolf in amazement, and sneered: "The body of a giant, the guts of a mouse." My dear lord, you have found such a superb family servant from there. ”

Victor watched Caligula run away, shook his head in disappointment, and helped Sophia to the car of the Marquis of Wimbledon.

Pulled by a giant rhinoceros, Sophia's bronze carriage resembles a small cabin with lavish interiors, including a dining room, bedrooms, and lavatory. Natalia was the last to get into the car, she kicked off her high heels, first helped Sophia change into a loose and comfortable nightdress, and then took off Victor's travel suit, revealing the soft armor worn under the coat.

"What a delicate inner armor. Natalia untied her soft armor and gently hugged Victor in admiration.

Victor felt the fullness and softness of his back, and said proudly: "This is the Randall family's special rattan skin armor, sewn with takin leather inside and out, and the middle layer is glued with the leather of the swamp giant snake and the fine rattan armor, which is not only breathable and sweat-absorbing, light and comfortable, but also can resist crossbow shooting at close range." ”

"I've made three of these pieces of inner armor for you, too. ”

"Really?" Natalia's eyes lit up, and she said worriedly, "Does your cobbler know my size?

"I know your figure. Victor laughed, pointed to his nose and said, "I personally cut your inner armor." ”

"Honey, you're so nice. Natalia kissed her with joy.

"Alright, Victor, you flirt with my bodyguard knight as soon as you get in the car, don't I have a housewife?" Sophia stretched out her hand to her husband and said angrily, "What about mine?"

"Absolutely. Victor glanced at Sophia and added, "If there is more, there will be none!"

"Hmph, you let me in. Sophia pursed her lips, lifted the curtain, and was the first to enter the compartment bedroom.

Natalia smiled slightly, so that she would not worry about Sophia's jealousy. They joined the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce at the same time, and they supported each other all the way, and they have already formed a deep friendship. Sofia and Natalia make a vow that they will never be separated from each other and share all their secrets, including the same intimate partner.

At the beginning, Sophia insisted on sending little Victor to the centaur hills, and Natalia was ten thousand unhappy, but she did not go against her will. Sophia knows that her sister doesn't have much ambition and longs for a stable and beautiful family. Sophia felt a little guilty about this. Now that Natalia is meeting Victor, Sophia is sincerely relieved that she is not really jealous of her.

Victor changed into a loose and comfortable fine linen robe, lifted the curtains, and went into the living room at the back of the carriage, where he found a place by the window and sat down on a snow bear leather couch.

Sophia curled up her long snow jade legs, leaned into Victor's ear, and exhaled like a brandish ask, "Why did you make Sylvia angry?"

"Don't you know?" asked Victor lazily with his hands on the back of his head.

Victor has informed Rose Manor of Nelson's marriage to Lauvita, and Sylvia welcomes it. Therefore, the reason for her anger is that Lilia and Joffrey have personally exchanged the affairs of the two realms, or rather, she is unhappy with Victor for letting Nicole exercise the authority of the viscountess.

Nicole was indeed Sylvia's confidant, otherwise she would not have been canonized as a baronial lord by the House of York at a young age and placed by Victor's side. Most of Nicole's right-hand men are from the Rose Manor, and they may not be willing to break the existing interests of the two families, but it is purely routine for her to report sensitive events to the Rose Manor, and there is no hiding from it.

This is loyalty, the loyalty of the Squire of the Rose to the Queen of the Rose.

Victor even believed that Nicole had reported the incident herself, at least she knew about it.

Although the upper echelons of Barony Phinicos are reluctant to accept powerful outsiders, they cannot defy the will of their masters. So, Victor must bear the pressure alone and try to change Sylvia's mind as the male owner of the Rose Manor.

Speaking of which, the political situation between Randall and Barony Fenicos was entirely caused by Sylvia.

Victor's subordinates rely on Nicole's background politically and militarily, and are also descendants of Rose Manor. Nicole's vassals are heavily dependent on Victor economically. And Victor is Sylvia's only intimate companion, and is naturally close to the direct power of the Rose Manor.

The two sides are as close as a territory.

Sylvia divided Victor's territory and ordered Nicole to defend the southern fortress, so that the Auguste family had no excuse to intervene in the southern territory of the Centaur Hills.

Moreover, Victor and Nicole themselves are a couple, and the two face the threat of Ant-Man together, and they don't need a long run-in period. Without the need to worry about the south, Sylvia was able to concentrate on building the central and northern defensive lines.

On the other hand, Sylvia unleashed her lineage power, invisibly expanding the influence of Rose Manor within the York family.

She killed three birds with one stone in this arrangement, but she didn't take into account the compatibility with Sophia.

Sofia led the vassal knights back to Randall, which was unfair to Nicole. But from Sylvia's standpoint, her decision is understandable.

In the face of the family's interests, the two great knights, Trendon and Ulena, have not obediently contributed an excellent heir?

Nicole is Sylvia's man, and her concession is Silvia's concession, the sacrifice of the Spirit Knight for the benefit of the family.

However, Victor is qualified to protect Nicole, and with his status as an independent lord, the ancient and noble blood of the Moon Elves, and the emotional entanglement with Sophia have left the vassal lords of the House of York speechless.

Along the way, he had already figured out how to deal with Sylvia.

If Sylvia is angry because of this incident, Victor decides to go back, and it is a big deal to hand over Randall's collection of jaggery to the Two-Headed Lizard Chamber of Commerce to operate, so that Sylvia will turn her anger into joy first, and then slowly find a way to rearrange it. Anyway, the two-headed lizard chamber of commerce's monopoly on jaggery is also a predetermined step for Victor to develop the Golden Regiment.

Victor didn't expect Sylvia to leave him behind and walk away.

She seemed to be saying, "Nicole is your woman, am I not?" We said good things, and you suddenly want to change your hexagram, think about how to coax me!

I want to talk to you about business, but you're playing tricks with me...... Victor was stunned, and Sylvia reacted like an angry wife rather than a sane leader. This made Victor feel relieved and at the same time very remorseful.

Sophia reclined beside Victor, one arm on her cheek, quietly gazing at her husband's face.

Victor's slender and straight eyebrows, delicate and delicate facial features, and a pair of dark and deep eyes look mysterious, elegant, handsome and weak, which can always stimulate the woman's maternal instinct to care for him. The slightly pointed ears and the breeze that always haunts you highlight the rare and noble bloodline qualities, all of which form an unparalleled attraction to female knights, especially high-ranking female knights.

Victor seems to be showing signs of changing his mind, but that's all to Sylvia's surprise.

Before leaving, she tells Sophia that the High Knight is sensible and boring, and Victor is emotional, but this is precisely the loveliest thing about him. The process of high-ranking female knights pursuing male high-ranking knights is not interesting, while the moon elf nobles who chase ancient bloodlines are full of joy and trouble.

Therefore, Sylvia went ahead and created a chance for Sophia to be alone with Victor and let her try to change Victor's mind, which was a very rare experience regardless of the outcome.

Sophia knew what Sylvia was right. Only a handful of gifted Golden Knights remain single, and most of them go through love, marriage, and family on a regular basis, with partners and heirs, and don't think about impacting the Elemental Sea until after the age of 60.

Sophia progressed too fast and missed many important moments in her life. Victor is probably the only partner who can help her complete her life experience.

It's just that Victor's eyes are in a trance at the moment and there is no focus. Sophia knew that Victor was missing Sylvia, and she couldn't help but wonder: Did Victor ever miss me?

Self-esteem did not allow Sophia to ask the question, and she allowed her emotions to creep in, savoring the throbbing in her heart. After a while, she pushed Victor and asked with a smile: "Honey, I heard that you detained a batch of goods, which belong to me." ”

Victor chuckled in his heart, but said nonchalantly, "So what? Didn't your knights also take over Raven Town?"

"How can it be called occupation?" Sophia pursed her seductive red lips slightly, and said in a coquettish voice: "Raven Town lacks a stable water source, so I will pay for it and ask the barbarians to help you dig 300 acres of stream reservoirs." Didn't Butz inform you in advance, and you yourself agreed?"

The territory under the jurisdiction of Raven Town is nearly 1,000 square kilometers in size, and water has always been the main factor limiting the development of the territory.

On the west side of the town is the Lark Mountains, which stretch for thousands of kilometres, and every year during the water season, the torrents flow along the natural waterways into the low-lying areas to the north, forming a large lake, but that is the domain of the Viscount Negus. Victor personally surveyed the terrain around Raven Town and designed a plan for the construction of a large stream reservoir, but due to manpower problems, construction could not be started for a while.

At that time, Raven Town had a population of less than 3,000, and a mountain stream and a few small green brick cisterns could meet the town's daily water supply. But now, the Templar Army under the command of the Knights of Radiance has 2,000 Horned Wolf Paladins stationed in Raventown, and the Horned Wolves need fresh meat, and the Church and Sophia must raise thousands of livestock on the spot in order to reduce transportation costs. Victor also sent 800 young hired men to Raven Town to expand their houses and repair the castle and roads.

Raven's people and livestock were immediately strained with water. Butz and Old Hamm had to arrange for a large number of people to travel to the lake more than a dozen kilometers away to fetch water.

Sophia's knights have taken over Raven Town, so naturally they have to solve the town's water problem. They consulted with the leader of the Paladins to donate 10,000 gold soles to the Templars, asking them to dig up a large stream reservoir designed by Victor.

The holy warrior is also idle, digging a stream and reservoir for daily cultivation, and he can also get a lot of donations, why not?

The two sides hit it off, but the Templars made another request, asking Sophia to ask the barbarians to help prevent them from running around in the Skylark Mountains. In fact, the Knights of Radiance wanted to test the attitude of the barbarians through joint labor, and in this way, to bring the two sides closer.

Elder Harald agreed!

Watching the barbarians sweat along with the Templars, Viscount Negus, who represented the royal family of Dord, was restless, and under the pretext of helping his neighbors, he sent a group of hired men to assist the paladins in their work. Only he knew how many of these Dordor agents were proficient in the language of the barbarians.

In just two months, four artificial waterways and a 300-acre stream reservoir have been built in the northern part of Raven Town.

Victor was happy to sit back and enjoy it, but if the Saber-Toothed Tiger Knight had other ideas, it would be a different matter.

The Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce suffered a heavy setback in the trade of the Kingdom of Dord, which was a good thing that the powerful lords of Dordor joined forces to do. The northern neighbors of Raven Town are all newly canonized royal nobles of King Dord, and the six lords of all sizes have close ties with the royal family of Dord, and their influence on His Majesty Friedrich is considerable.

On top of that, they especially need trade.

If Sophia can take them down, it may be a way out of the deadlock.

Raventown, on the other hand, has enough territory to crown two lords, and its location on the border is an important trading port between Victor and the Kingdom of Dordor, which has unparalleled commercial potential in its own right. Sophia, who started out as a trader, couldn't fail to see this, and her passion for Raven was so great that she didn't return to Randall for two months.

If Sophia's plan to save herself fails completely and she has to return to the Randall family, the knights of the Sabertooth Tiger Merchant Order are eager to find a fief in Raven Town and continue their old business.

Victor would never canonize Raventown to anyone! not even Randall was ready to canonize a new vassal lord.

It is really necessary to canonize the land on the south bank of the Jinshui River!

However, Victor was unable to question Sophia, the saber-toothed tiger merchant group's various actions in Raventown. This will expose his true position to the table, make the two sides lose room for maneuver, and also appear to be narrow-minded, shallow and selfish.

Victor was silent for a moment, then frowned and asked, "The barbarians are willing to build a stream reservoir with humans, is Elder Harald learning human technology?"

Sophia hated her teeth, if before, the two of them were separated for half a month and were alone in the same room, and Victor would have pounced on them a long time ago, then would she still pay attention to these bad things?

How could I possibly lose to another woman besides Sylvia?

Sophia stroked her hair lightly, pursed her lips and smiled: "My dear, you used to like to pester me and listen to my business experience. Do you want to know what I've seen in Arret?"

"Of course I want to hear it! I better teach me to speak barbarian......"

Victor excitedly tried to sit up straight, but Sophia threw herself on the snow bear's skin, her limbs tangled and full of warmth.

"Honey, have you forgotten what we will do before listening to the story?" Sophia's purple eyes were watery, and her delicate red lips covered Victor's mouth.

The giant rhinoceros let out a low roar and pulled up the heavy copper carriage and drove forward, the bells outside the carriage emitting a series of crisp bells.

The Randall family's convoy finally drove to the royal capital of Gambis, Blinor.
