Chapter 31: The Queen

"Count Claude, it's a pity that you don't join the royal army, if a smart person like you can join the army, he will definitely be able to make more contributions to the Kingdom of Gilgias..." Standing in front of Meng Fan was the defense officer of the Thundering Fortress, Carmenor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"General Carmenor, you think too highly of me, I just came up with a good idea by chance, I can't do such a thing as leading troops to fight..."

"But this good idea, Count Claude, you came up with by chance, and it was you who saved His Majesty the King by chance and suffered a defeat for the first time on the battlefield of the Bretain Army, Count Claude. Camino smiled and patted Meng Fan's arm and said.

After chatting with himself for a few words, Carmeno left, Meng Fan breathed a sigh of relief, there were already more than forty guests at tonight's banquet who came to greet and talk to him, some of these people were royal ministers, some were nobles, and of course, there were also royal army generals like Camenor.

When dealing with these people, Meng Fan not only had to accept the other party's compliments and praise with a humble attitude, but also had to pay careful attention not to let his words and manners appear vulgar and rude.

The guests in the banquet hall tonight were all the top figures of the Gilgidian Kingdom, and it was the first time that Meng Fan had dealt with so many people of such a prominent position. If you hadn't contributed to the war, and had not been given earls and lands by the king, I'm afraid that these people wouldn't even give you a straight eye when they met me in the banquet hall.

"Claude. Someone behind him pressed his shoulder, "Big brother." Turning around, Meng Fan saw his brother Bogula.

"Claude, you've been talking to the royal ministers and nobles tonight, and now you're finally free. Bogura shook his brother's thin body and smiled.

Meng Fan rubbed his nose with the back of his hand and smiled, "Claude, to be honest, I can't believe that the strategy of diverting the water of the Verne River into the col and then using the flood to crush the Bretan army came up with this little head of yours. Bogula rubbed Meng Fan's head.

"Big brother, people always grow. Meng Fan touched Bogula's hair, "Yes, people always grow, but Claude, your growth is a little too fast, I'm all..." Bogura originally wanted to say that he was almost unrecognizable, but in the end, Bogura still looked at his brother in front of him and didn't say anything.

"Big brother, why isn't Parker here?" Meng Fan looked around and asked, "Claude, this is the palace banquet hall, not anyone of any status can come in, I am your brother and can be allowed to enter, but Parker..." Bogula said with a regretful face, the royal banquet has strict reception standards, and people who are not included in the guest list are not allowed to enter the banquet hall, Parker is only a friend of Meng Fan, and he is not qualified to be invited.

"That's right. Meng Fan sighed when he learned that Parker had been stopped outside the banquet hall and could not enter. "Claude, Parker told me that he just doesn't want to attend a banquet like this, and in this banquet hall, he can't even find anyone to talk to, so he might as well go to the tavern of the royal capital and have a few drinks. Bogula leaned into Meng Fan's ear and whispered.

"Hehe, that's also..." Meng Fan laughed, Parker is right, what kind of identity you have, what kind of life circle you will have, this truth is not only on the earth, but also on this foreign continent, if you don't make a great contribution in the war and are not knighted by the king, then I'm afraid there won't be so many people who take the initiative to come over and talk to you tonight.

"Lord Claude. Just as Meng Fan was chatting with his brother Bogula, a soft and beautiful voice sounded in his ears, and when he turned around, Meng Fan saw a blonde woman come to him, and when he saw this woman, Meng Fan seemed to have been petrified, and the whole person fell into a stupor.

Standing in front of Meng Fan is a blonde woman wearing a white evening dress, a delicate figure set off by a white and elegant off-the-shoulder evening dress, long golden hair coiled into a noble and elegant round bun tied behind her head with a blue hairband, smooth white and tender fragrant shoulders, that suffocating beauty, if there really is a goddess in this world, it must be based on this blonde woman.

"Lord Claude?" the woman standing in front of Meng Fan whispered her name again, "Oh, hello you..." Meng Fan woke up from his sluggishness and nodded to the blonde woman in front of him in response.

"Claude, she's Her Highness the Queen. The eldest brother Bogula on the side rubbed Meng Fan with his elbow, and then bent down and saluted respectfully.

"Your Royal Highness, I am Claude's elder brother, the commander of the seventh battalion of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, Bogula. "Hello, Commander Bogula, thank you for your contribution to Purple Sun City. The blonde woman smiled slightly.

Meng Fan's mind was confused, Meng Fan had long heard that Landry Pars, the king of Gilgias, had married Freya Nolan, the daughter of Lewin Nolan, the lord of Purple Sun City, eight years ago.

But Meng Fan didn't know that the blonde woman in front of him was Queen Freya, the wife of King Gilgia. "Your Royal Highness, I... I really damn it, I didn't know you were..." Meng Fan apologized to the blonde woman in front of him with a panicked face.

"It's okay, Lord Claude, I also asked the Prime Minister to find out that you are the hero who defeated the Brettans on the battlefield of the Red Flame Plains, Lord Claude, no one can detect the identity of the other party at a glance, can they?" Freya's azure eyes were filled with tenderness and kindness.

"Her Royal Highness Queen Xie. Meng Fan bent down and bowed deeply to the blonde woman in front of him, "Lord Claude, I came here to thank you personally, if it weren't for Lord Claude's contribution, His Majesty Landry might not be able to return to the royal capital unscathed, Lord Claude, thank you for everything you have done for the Kingdom of Gilgias." Freya softly expressed her gratitude to the dark-haired man in front of her.

"It's my responsibility. Meng Fan hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Lord Claude, you used to be an ordinary soldier of the territory army, but you are much more capable than those generals and nobles, when His Majesty Landry was besieged, only Lord Claude thought of a way to defeat the Brettan army and rescue His Majesty." Freya's azure eyes looked at Meng Fan.

The voice of the blonde woman in front of her exuded a gentle and charming aura, "Your Highness the Queen, I only thought of that plan in a flash of inspiration, and it is not my credit to be able to rescue His Majesty the King alone, Duke Dulaika, Lord Cicela, they have also made a very great contribution..."

Freya looked at the black-haired man in front of her, an ordinary man who couldn't be found in the crowd, it was such an ordinary soldier who defeated the commander of the Bretan Army, Voncis Valuan, who was known as the "undefeated god of war", the Bretan who was hated by her husband to the extreme.

"Lord Claude, I admire your humility, and I believe that Lord Claude will be able to become an outstanding nobleman, a lord who can be trusted and respected by the people..."

Meng Fan watched Queen Freya return to King Landry Pars. "Her Royal Highness is such a beautiful woman, isn't she, Claude. Bogula, the eldest brother beside him, spoke.

Nodding dumbly, Meng Fan had never felt this way, the moment he saw Queen Freya, his soul seemed to be sucked away, Meng Fan's heart was captured by this blonde woman, and he was willing to do anything for this blonde woman.
