For the next ten days, the mountain was covered with heavy snow, the road was difficult to navigate, and the town of Wind Chime, located in the col, was almost isolated from the world. Although the Church's Ravens and Paladins were still delivering letters, Victor did not ask questions in the name of recuperation.

During the war, the lords of the kingdoms joined forces to fight against the centaur army. The war was won, the close comradeship came to an end, and all forces were ready to compete for interests. In particular, the throne of the Sasangian Empire is undecided, and now whoever sits on the throne has the right to speak in the distribution of the development territory, which is a new territory that is wider and richer than the empire itself. The two royal families of Barcelius and Frederick have no way out, and the kingdoms must be extra careful if they want to eat melons and watch dramas at this time, and they will be dragged into the pit if they are not careful.

Looking at the big picture, the struggle for the throne of the Sassanian Empire is actually another clash between the secular power and the theocracy of the church, and no one can be left alone, and both sides must find a new balance. The highnesses of the kingdoms must take every step of the way, and it is easy not to take a stand.

His Royal Highness Randall, the powerhouse of the Sanctuary Realm, has made extraordinary achievements in this war and has a very high reputation. The wrestling parties are still in the tentative stage, and they have a tacit understanding not to alarm him.

The Kingdom of Gombis is also in great trouble, and although Roland handed over the command of the Knights of Glory to the Marquis of Goron in advance, the younger generation of knights in Blinor City are the strongest supporters of the eldest princess. Roland means that they will fall, and they will inevitably find out what they have done, and bring great twists and turns to the political situation in Cambys. The Marquis of Goron and the Regent Williams need time to reorganize the structure of the Knights of the Swift Dragon and the Praetorian Guard to keep possible unrest to a minimum.

Putting aside the question of the fall of His Highness Augustus for the time being, the main reinforcements of Gombis fought a tough battle on the eastern defense line of the Sassan Empire, thwarting the centaur counterattack and protecting the people in the eastern hinterland of Sassan. Both the Sassanian lords and the Church also offered rich rewards, moving hundreds of thousands of displaced people to Gambis, and guaranteeing a food supply for more than three years.

With this population digested, Gombis's southward expansion strategy could be accelerated.

Of course, the Sassangian Empire now needs to organize a large number of people to open up new territories, but they will not be able to intercept the remaining more than 100,000 displaced people.

The Earl of Goldeneye is based in the town of Wind Chimes in western Sassan, and in the spring, he will see the remaining outcasts continue their migration south through the Wraith Forest Frontier.

With no one to disturb and a beautiful woman to accompany him, Victor is happy to be idle.

Andrea has something to do, and she spends her days wondering how to compete with Charlotte and ask her lover for favor.

Bloodline strength, status, beauty and appearance, Andrea has the upper hand, but in terms of gentle means, she is too far behind Charlotte, and she is not a level at all.

Although Charlotte is soft, it depends on who and what is right. Andrea wanted to occupy Victor alone, but offended her scales, and several clever tricks made the arrogant countess deflated in a row. Andrea uses the mental power of a high-ranking knight to oppress Charlotte, trying to make her back down and give in. But Charlotte is, after all, a senior female knight who resonates with 24 elemental positions, with a unity of body and mind and tenacity. Andrea's threats were not effective, and Charlotte took the opportunity to complain to her master in a very clever way, regaining her rightful place and blocking the countess from the bedroom door.

Andrea has never experienced such a thing, she and her husband are in a foster marriage, and the marriage and love are natural, and they are on the strong side. Courtship, she also enjoys the pleasure of being pursued. Victor doesn't eat her, he is also a transcendent person with an affinity for the wind element, he can completely dissipate the arrogance of the Wind Female Knight with one look, how can he sit back and watch her use extraordinary power to oppress his favorite concubine?

However, Andrea has a strong back-up group behind her, and the court ladies of the Barcelius royal family advise her. She changed her cold and arrogant style, laughed and behaved intimately with Charlotte, openly referred to as sisters, and made full use of the home advantage behind her back, setting up a lot of trouble for her rivals.

For example, Charlotte went to the cellar in Wind Chimes to get a bottle of wine, and the servant in charge of the cellar had to look for a long time, and by the time Charlotte took the wine back to the castle, Andrea had already locked the door to the master bedroom.

Victor can see that Charlotte is really jealous, and Andrea is enjoying the drama of inviting pets.

Happy times are always short-lived, and the troubles of the outside world have finally found His Highness Randall.

On this day, Victor was outside with the girlish Countess Wimbledon to build a snowman, and Nelson came over and reported: "My lord, Baron Margaret Wellington asks to see you." ”

"She's the only one?, and the royal family of Cambis didn't send an envoy?" asked Victor, placing a fake nose on the snowman's face.

“...... There are no envoys of the royal family. Nelson shook his head and added, "Baron Wellington only has two knights with him, and I recognize them...... They were all knights of House Wellington. ”

Victor nodded, turned to a smile at Andrea, who was flushed, and said, "Honey, I'm going to miss me for a while." ”

Andrea turned her bright eyes, took Victor's arm, and said with a little coquettishness: "Your Highness, I want to go with you...... Miss Wellington fought side by side with me, and I hadn't seen her for a long time. ”

She expanded the object of the intrigue to Margaret, Victor secretly amused, thought about it, and still felt that he should take Andrea to meet the eldest lady of the Wellington family, after all, he and Andrea are now legal partners, and Andrea also needs the nobles of Cambis to recognize this.

"Please...... You're the master of Wind Chimes. Victor raised his hand in invitation.

Andrea took Victor's hand, and regardless of whether Nelson, who was walking in front, could hear it, her red lips leaned into Victor's ear and whispered, "Your Highness is my master." ”

Victor's heart fluttered, and Andrea became more and more indulgent, always thinking about tempting him, and even flirting with Wen Cun's private words.

“...... There is progress. Victor looked down and laughed.

The Countess of Wimbleton, who was in love, suddenly browled her eyebrows and covered her mouth and snickered.

Back at Bellbell Castle, Victor and Andrea change their clothes and walk into the reception room side by side, where they meet Margaret Wellington.

The two sides exchanged courtesies, and Margaret looked at Andrea, who was sitting next to Victor, and asked with a cold expression, "You are partners now?"

Her way of speaking was still as cold and direct, but those clear and pure eyes did not make people feel embarrassed by her words.

Andrea took one of Victor's arms in her arms, skillfully displayed the Mithril ring on her finger, and said with a provocative and obvious coquettish smile: "Sister Wellington, you are right. His Highness Randall and I are married. ”

How's that for jealousy of me...... Andrea gave Margaret her smugness with her eyes.

Margaret and Victor obviously don't have any ambiguous relationship, but Andrea deliberately treats her as a rival in love, obviously indulging in a game of competition for favor and erecting an imaginary enemy for herself.

Margaret, who was as cold as ice, actually thought about it and said seriously: "I do feel a trace of jealousy. ”

Andrea furrowed her slender eyebrows, not knowing how to answer.

These two high-ranking female knights are superb...... Victor resisted the urge to cover his face and asked Margaret, "Is there anything wrong with you coming to see me?"

The ice and snow beauty looked into Victor's eyes and asked lightly, "What I am going to say next, does Your Highness agree to your partner to listen?"

In the past, the Countess of Wimbledon would only snort coldly and get up to leave the room. Andrea kissed Victor lightly on the corner of her lips and smiled, "My dear, I'm going to prepare a dinner party to welcome Baron Wellington to our Castle of Wind Chimes." ”

With that, she walked out of the room with a graceful gait, and before leaving the door, she turned back and smiled at Victor.

"Say, I'll listen. Victor leaned back on the couch and raised his hand to Margaret.

Margaret asked expressionlessly, "Where is Her Royal Highness Princess August?"

This was not a question, nor was it Margaery's turn to ask Victor, who was apparently asked by Kite Castle to give Victor a formal account of Roland's affairs.

Victor sighed in his heart, walked to the window with his hands in his hands, looked at the snow outside the castle, and asked, "Why did you come to Wind Chimes?" ”

"They all refused, they didn't dare to come to see you, only me. Margaret replied behind Victor's back.

"What about Gillian? does she know about Roland's fall?"

She didn't know...... She was now busy reconciling accounts with Frederick's eldest son. ”

The fact that Gillian didn't involve Gillian in the matter is itself a reflection of her attitude of controlling influence.

Victor was silent for a moment and said, "His Highness Goron should have a letter to me. ”

Margaret stepped forward and handed over a piece of letterhead.

Victor unwrapped the letterhead and quickly skimmed through it. The letterhead only said that the Marquis of Goron led the Knights of the Swift Dragon and the knightly generals of the Imperial Guard to hold a month-long winter hunt training in the Minsk Mountains, and the winter hunt has now ended. In addition, King Edward and Queen Anna invited the five lords of the kingdom to the Winter Banquet in the Kite Castle.

Margaret whispered again: "His Royal Highness Golon's envoy asked me to tell His Highness Randall that the Regent Williams successfully attacked the pinnacle realm and was promoted to the Golden Knight ten days ago. His Royal Highness Williams August is in the process of establishing his realm, and it is not convenient to write to you. ”

Victor was not surprised, and said in a deep voice: "That legendary centaur leather, please bring it back to the kite castle as a ...... My congratulatory gift and that of His Royal Highness Roland are dedicated to His Royal Highness Williams August. ”

"Where is His Highness Roland August?" asked Margaret insistently.

After a long time, Victor said indifferently:

"His Royal Highness Roland August has unfortunately fallen on the Wharton prairie in order to save my life by mobilizing the Void Elemental beyond the limit...... I, Victor Wyn Randall, Lord of the Garbis and Guardian of the Kingdom, will take the place of His Royal Highness Roland August and protect the royal family of Augustus and maintain its bloodline until Auguste has a new Guardian. ”

The proclamation and oath of the Raging Wind Sword Saint followed the wind into the church of Wind Chimes Town, and then the bell rang, dozens of red-eyed letter crows flew out of the Raven Tower, and the prepared holy warriors rode the horned wolf out of the church's animal pen and rushed into the reckless snow field, bringing the self-declaration and oath of the Raging Wind Sword Saint to the human realm.

Margaret gave a salute and retreated, even with the promise of the powerhouse of the Holy Realm, her expression did not fluctuate at all, as if she had expected it before she came.

Victor stood alone in front of the window, and suddenly noticed a deep regret in the dark golden eyes reflected in the crystal window.
