Gray and his party arrived in Herion City at noon on the 19th!

More than four months later, when Gray saw the familiar gates of Herion City again, in a trance, he seemed to see his figure here more than four months ago. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, as the captain of the guard of the Earl of Lockton, he followed the army on the expedition and marched towards the Erni River.

An army of fresh clothes and angry horses, and spears towering, seemed to be visible.

"Gray?" Gray had been in a daze for too long, and Thor had to shout to the side to bring Gray back to his senses.

Because Gray sent fast horses in advance to inform Fort Herien of the whereabouts of his group, when Gray's team arrived at Herien City, Prime Minister Dale and Captain Pura personally greeted him at the city gate.

When Gray came back to his senses and saw his uncle, the joy on his face could no longer be suppressed, and he hurriedly dismounted and hurried to meet him.

"Uncle Dale!" Gray was the first to salute.

The smile on Dale's face couldn't be hidden, and he looked Gray up and down.

However, Dale did not talk to Gray like an elder now, after all, he was now greeting Gray on behalf of the Earl of Lockton.

Dale smiled gently, then looked at the pro-soldier team behind Gray, and said, "Gray, according to tradition, you go to my Prime Minister's Mansion to live today, and we will go to the castle again tomorrow when we get married!"

"Understood!" Gray nodded, looked at Pura next to him, and said, "Those of my own soldiers, leave ten people and those two knights, and let them take the rest with them in the barracks." ”

Pula nodded knowingly.

Immediately, Gray and Dale walked slowly towards the city.

......

The Prime Minister's Mansion is still the same as before, nothing has changed, except that there are a lot of soldiers guarding it today, Gray looked at the familiar hall, and he felt that everything that had happened for a while was like a dream.

As soon as Dale entered the Prime Minister's residence, he said to Gray, "Let's go to the study and talk!"

Gray nodded, as if remembering something, and asked, "Where's Cartli?"

Dale smiled and said, "She's in the manor outside the city today, don't worry, she will come to attend the wedding tomorrow!"

The study room at the Prime Minister's Office is still the same, and even in broad daylight in the summer season, it is still a little dim, but it is not too hot because of the good thermal insulation.

On the reception couch, Gray and Dale sat opposite each other.

Dale said softly, "To be honest, I still can't believe your success right now!"

Gray was in front of his uncle, without a mask, and he said lightly: "Everything is because of the wedding that will be held tomorrow, isn't it?"

"There's a reason for that!" said Ser Dale, nodding, "but your abilities are also obvious to all, son, you should be the lord of Harrens' realm now, and you should show corresponding self-confidence."

"Hehe!" Gray chuckled, "this wedding could have taken place in Harrence City, Uncle Dale!"

"Gray!" Dale's face changed, leaned forward, and said: "In the future, it's best not to say such things, in this game of power, self-esteem is too strong, it is very deadly!"

Gray laughed at himself, and he said, "I understand, Uncle Dale, I am just here to tell you, sometimes a lot of things are held in my heart, and it is really uncomfortable. ”

Hearing this, Dale sighed in his heart, got up and patted Gray lightly on the shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.

"Some time ago, I was very sad that one of my clan knights betrayed, and I don't understand, what the hell did he think, was it because I wasn't good enough, and I didn't even dare to trust anyone anymore!" Gray muttered.

Just like you and me, do you dare to hand over all the power you now control to me, and then ignore it yourself?" Dale said softly.

Gray heard Dale mean this, thought about it carefully, and was speechless for a while, and he said after half a sound: "I'm sorry, Uncle Dale, I don't know what's wrong with me!"

Dale didn't care, he kept a smile on his face, "No need to apologize, my dear nephew!" After a pause, Dale continued: "Actually, you don't have to think about how to trust others, you should try to make your subordinates have no choice but to trust you!"

When Gray heard Dale's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

"Alright, kid, let's not talk about these things, let's talk about your wedding this time!" Dale looked at the time, "Lord Earl wants to use this wedding between you and Miss Nesha to set up a big net, force those opponents to the light, and then catch them all!"

Dale faced his nephew and never spoke in a circle.

"Is this what the Earl himself said?" said Gray.

"Yes, Lord Earl told me personally, I think, he should want to tell you through my mouth, so that you can be prepared!" Dale lowered his voice, his face full of worry, "Your wedding this time, the movement is not small, just a few days ago, all the great lords of the Western Territory sent envoys to discuss the alliance!"

"Alliance?" Gray's face was full of surprise, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

Dale frowned rarely, "It's natural, but we can't say no!"

Gray looked down and thought about it, and collected the emotions just now, he looked at Sir Dale, then smiled, and said, "Uncle Dale, actually, we don't have to worry too much, haven't you noticed?

Gray stood up and walked over to the only small window in the study, staring at the crowd outside, his eyes surprisingly bright.

Dale was stunned when he heard this, his eyes moved with Gray's movements, and Gray now gave Dale the feeling as if the Earl of Lockton was standing beside him, and the childishness just now disappeared in an instant!

Gray looked at his uncle and asked, "What's wrong with you, Uncle Dale?"

"It's okay!" Dale patted his forehead, stood up as well, and said, "My child, you were right, and now it should not be us who is afraid, but them!"

"By the way!" Dale looked at the time again, as if suddenly remembering something, "If you may, after the wedding, can you bring Cartli to Harrence City? ”

Gray was stunned for a moment, then understood.

It seems that Uncle Dale's adopted daughter, his titular sister, is obviously still clinging to her dream.

Dale's meaning is to use Gray's current status and connections to find a husband for Cartli in the name of Gray's sister, and now, this family, only Gray has the ability to help her.

Gray didn't mean to refuse Dale, "If Cartli herself is willing, I don't have a problem, I will help her, after all, I am also her brother!"
