"Haha, Rum, has your precious daughter finally suffered?" a calm and majestic voice sounded, which was the characteristic tone of a man who had been in a position of power for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"It seems that even your wild daughter can't please the Nords. "The speaker was on a sturdy brown horse, dressed in well-made and splendid plate armor that covered almost every part of his body, a purple cloak with a roaring bear tattooed on it, and a crown of pure gold set with three precious stones, symbolizing Rhodok, Swadia and Nord. Behind him was a uniform group of horsemen, spears in hand, standing silently, only the gasping of horses could be heard. This man is none other than the ruler of the kingdom of Svadia - Guardian of the Realm, King of the Mountains, Liberator, Beo Warrior, and King of Svadia, His Highness Hans Tablis.

"Well, I can't do anything about her. "Rum wore much lighter armor than the king's, except for a robe, with Falster's family coat of arms tattooed on it. "Ever since I heard that she had gone to Nord, I have made a bet to my knights that she will have an accident in less than a week. Rum burned the letter with a torch and said teasingly. Sir Wright won, and he said it must have been a week, for she was not alone. As soon as Rum finished speaking, he remembered something again, and then added. "She took the entire Knights. ”

"Who doesn't know that your Order of Knights is in vain, Lord Rum. On the other side of the king, a voice came. The man who spoke was dressed in iron armor, no different from the soldiers behind him, except for the boar insignia on his robe, which showed his identity - "Champion" Orug Pigram, the military minister of the kingdom. "I'm afraid that all the people combined, there are only a few people. ”

"Worse, I'm afraid it's only two people. Rum smiled at Orug, the "Gulf Man" from Azgod who always smelled of the sea - his ever-changing temper.

"Hmph, you've revived this trend, but you're treating it as child's play. Oruger said with a thorn, clearly unhappy with Rum's attitude.

"Well, I don't want to see my left shoulder and right arm arguing all day. Hans interrupted their conversation with a light smile. "Let's get back to us, Orug, how much time will you need to take them down?" asked Hans at Orug. Oluge proudly puffed out his chest and said to Hans: "It's just a group of remnants of the army, I only need an hour to wipe them all out!"

Hans nodded slightly, and the Kugits not far away were ready for the last moments. They were isolated, flanked, hungry and cold, and had not yet surrendered only because Hans had rejected them.

After a brief moment of silence, Hans drew his sword, raised it above his head, and roared, "Charge!" Immediately afterward, the iron cavalry of the Swadia cavalry condensed into a torrent and crashed into the Kugit who were blowing towards them like a gale.

......

"You can't do that to me!I'm the eldest daughter of the Falster family!I'm the only heir to the Earl of Falst!you can't disrespect my identity!" Eve kicked hard at the immovable oak door, she was under house arrest in a room that wasn't wealthy, at least Eve thought.

"We have our rules, even if the Chancellor of the Exchequer comes in person, you can only be taken away with ransom. Just when Eve was a little tired, Rueda suddenly pushed the door in and nearly hit Eve.

"Hey, you bastards, don't you know a little politeness?" said Eve, sneering, and knocked on the door of the lady's room first, which was the most basic courtesy.

"Do you still think you're a lady? I think you're more like a Valkyrie, and this is your nemesis. Ruda looked at the somewhat sunken door and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Eve looked around to find out what could be used as a weapon, but unfortunately found that after paying the price of three maids and two guards, Rueda had ordered anything that could hurt people out of the apartment.

"Calm down, calm down, I've been through the fight today, let's stop fighting for a while, ma'am. Ruda saw Eve like this, and quickly stopped her, this little girl was more noisy than she had imagined, not at all like those ordinary aristocratic ladies. "I'm here to invite you to dinner, ma'am, and if you can refuse, I'll have someone bring it here. ”

"Why should I refuse? Of course I'm going to have dinner with you, that's my right. To Ruda's surprise, Eve did not refuse to have dinner together, but readily agreed. "Even if you're a Nord, you won't deprive me of my right to be entertained, will you?"

"Well, of course, that's what I'm here for. Ruda couldn't figure out what medicine was in the little girl's gourd, but he still brought her to the reception room.

"What is this?, grilled eel?" said Eve, who made everyone look sideways as soon as it was served. "Why does it look like some kind of excrement?" she exaggeratedly covered her nose as she pushed the eel away from her, and in the distance an old man silently spat out the half-eaten eel in his mouth.

"What do you Nords make cheese from?, boar milk?" Eve sniffed a piece of cheese and put it back with a frown. "I can't believe you eat this stuff all the time. The two samurai chewing cheese paused, then shrugged and continued to eat the unpalatable cheese.

"Do you just eat the smoked fish?Why didn't you wash this apple?Oh my God, don't you eat cabbage??," Eve's offensive continued, and she tirelessly criticized every dish on the table, until at last, except for the two samurai, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her in embarrassment.

"......" Ruda also blushed, holding the "bread that can smash through the plate armor" in his hand at a loss. What Eve doesn't know is that in Nord, poor hospitality is a very humiliating thing. She's just trying to find fault.

The dinner party was supposed to be very long, because Eve's presence was soon over, and most of them went back hungry to do their own things, and Eve waited for everyone to leave the table and stood in front of Ruda.

"I don't know how much ransom you're asking for, you greedy man, but you can ask for double at any time, if you promise me to walk around this castle as much as I want. Eve said confidently that since things have developed like this, it is better to adapt to the situation and use it flexibly.

Ruda had mixed feelings, this was the most unconscious prisoner he had ever seen. "Remember who you are, Lady Eveluna, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. Ruda said this, and prepared to leave, but Eve blocked his way.

"Triple the price! I have a way to get you to triple the ransom! But you'll have to do me a favor. Eve said that this was her true price.

“...... Alright, alright, what do you want me to help you?" Ruda weighed in his heart, at least he had to get the money back for the oak door. "I'm not going to let you move around, don't even think about it. ”

"Of course not, I want you to tell me about the 'celebration' and about Bishop Hakan. As soon as Eve's words came out, Ruda's expression became serious. "Why do you want to know this?"

"My prisoner, a wandering merchant from Swadia, has been taken illegally by the man named Hakan, and I don't know what he wants to do, but he has no right to take anyone in the territory of Kelredan, let alone mine. Eve said hatefully that she worked so hard because of this man named Hakan.

Ruda groaned for a while, his face changed several times, and it wasn't until Eve was a little impatient that he said, "Follow me." He took Eve to his room.

“.................. Therefore, the Mafilia Celebration is a triennial event of the Nord people, and in the past, the whole country would celebrate it, and the carnival lasted for three days. This is the year of the celebrations, so in recent days the various lords and churches have been preparing for it. Ruda gave a brief introduction to the Lower Mafelia celebration, and then talked about Hakan. "As for what you said about Bishop Hakan, he is a perfect saint, at least on the surface. Ruda's tone was somewhat complicated, mixed with emotions other than disdain. Legend has it that his pleading attracted the favor of the gods, allowing him to master miracles. I'm tempted to say that this is just another religious legend, but I have seen with my own eyes that he does have a power that ordinary people do not have. Speaking of this, Ruda couldn't help but clench his fists. "The power of fear. He added, full of frustration and annoyance. "He passed by a few days ago, and I personally entertained him, and he did not say anything about the kidnapping, but said that he had brought an excellent gift for the Pope. Ruda recalled the scene when he met Hakan a few days ago, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. He was followed by a stranger, neither a soldier nor a saint, who smelled of copper from head to toe. ”

"That's right, I'm sure it's them. Eve also fell into deep thought, she didn't understand what role Francis played in between, it was just human trafficking, did she need to follow all the way to Nord territory?

"That's all I know, according to the agreement, you have to tell me how I can get my father to pay me three times the dinar. Rueda interrupted her thoughts, reminding her of her own needs.

Eve took out her brooch and said, "Send this to him, and he'll pay you three times the price." ”

"Is it that simple?" Ruda suspiciously reached for the brooch, which was nothing special except for Falster's insignia. "Trust me, I have no reason to deceive you. Eve repeatedly reassured Ruda that Ruda reluctantly believed her.

"By the way, where are my companions?" Eve suddenly remembered that Orlando and Arthur didn't know what had happened, and quickly asked.

"The poet had paid enough dinar for his ransom and had been released. Ruda said. "On your own lute. ”

"As for the stunned young man, because he hurt the lord, he must be judged. Ruda touched the scar on his face, which had just healed.

"Judge, how are you going to judge him?" Eve asked worriedly, confident in Arthur's abilities, who was only a commoner until the official ordination ceremony, and that injuring a nobleman was a crime worthy of beheading.

"What else, my lady, let God judge him whether he is guilty or not, of course. ”
