Chapter 192: The confrontation with Princess Celivia
Chapter 192: The confrontation with Princess Celivia
In the morning, it was reported that Henneid had led his troops to take control of the city of Gildusk, and in the evening it was said that Henneid had become a prisoner, which was too much of a change. There was no way, Lorist ordered to immediately pull out the camp and march to the city of Gildusk overnight.
When they arrived at Gildusk, it was late in the evening of the second day, and Baron Philim, who had led the siege of the Grand Duke's palace, came to meet Lorist and Count Kenmeth, and asked one of Henned's knights to tell the details of what had happened:
The reason is that the Tabek Golden Knight owes his mouth, he was ordered to take over the Grand Duke's Mansion, and he happened to meet Princess Celivia, probably thinking that the second prince was defeated and the other party lost his backer, so he began to talk about it, and as a result, he angered the princess and immediately started to do it. No one expected that Princess Celivia would be vindictive, and she was still a golden rank, you must know that Princess Cilivia is only twenty years old this year, and the twenty-year-old golden swordsman is really appalling to say, which is no longer something that can be described by outstanding talent.
The poor Tabek knight never dreamed that the delicate and powerless beauty princess in his eyes would turn into a female tyrannosaurus, and he suffered a big loss because he was defenseless, not only restrained by Princess Celevia, but also beaten into a pig's head on the spot.
Henneid hurried to the news and negotiated with Princess Celevia, first apologizing for the Golden Knight of Tabek, and then hoping that the princess would return Tabek to him, and strongly promising that the princess would not disturb the place where the princess lived, and that Princess Celevia could come and go freely in the Northlands.
At first, it was said that it was good, but then the princess suddenly pulled out her sword, pointed at Hennet and said that she would only agree to release the person if she won the sword in her hand, and Henneid couldn't, so he had to compete with the princess.
Anyway, Hennerd is also a veteran knight with two stars of gold. Battle-tested, both skill and experience are not comparable to Princess Celivia, who has had the upper hand from the beginning and has always been at ease. Although she was a little restrained for fear of hurting the princess, after a long time, the princess would definitely be unable to support her first and abandon her sword and admit defeat. So the knights of Hennerd's family who were watching were very relieved.
But no one expected that when Henneid wanted to cut down the princess's saber with a sword to force the princess to admit defeat, he suddenly slipped his footsteps, and he didn't say anything, and the empty door in his chest was exposed, and Princess Celevia put the sword on his neck.
The onlookers were in an uproar, drawing their swords and trying to rush up, but they saw Knight Hennedt throw his sword and stop his own knights. Instructed them to go to Baron Philim and Lorist to support the overall situation, then shook his head and smiled bitterly and followed Princess Celevia into the Grand Duke's Palace.
Baron Philim was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly led his troops to the city of Gildusk, surrounded the Grand Duke's Palace, and demanded that Princess Celevia hand over Tabek and Henned. But Princess Celivia said that it was very simple to want the two of them, and that they would be better than the sword in her hand first. If she relied on the strength of the crowd to carry out the siege, she would have killed Tabek and Henneid first.
Baron Philim didn't want to fight Princess Celevia, first, he couldn't win. The second is that he was pulled by the knights under Henneid, if Baron Philim was also captured like Henned. Then there's no one to call the shots. After all, Henneid's failure was too weird, and such negligence should not be like the performance of a golden knight.
"Now that she is frozen, Princess Celevia has sent for some fresh fruits and vegetables, and she has been satisfied...... Baron Philim said with a wry smile.
Lorist tidied up the outfit on his body, turned around and left: "I'll go into the Grand Duke's Mansion to have a look." ”
Baron Philium and Count Kenmax were shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Lord Norton." Locke, don't be impulsive...... We think long-term......"
Lorist's figure flickered, and he flashed the hand that Baron Philim stretched out to block: "It's okay, Princess Celivia is a golden swordsman, and she shouldn't embarrass me, a ...... of the Black Iron Rank."
Count Kenmax, on the other hand, was pulled by Reddy.
Earl Kenmath angrily rebuked, "You just watched your family go to death?"
Reddy grinned and said, "Don't worry." Lord Earl, we have never been defeated so far, and the Golden Knight of Giovanny died after losing a duel with our lordship......
"Really?" Count Kenmax was stunned, and Baron Philim next to him pricked up his ears. They only know that the Golden Knight of Giovanni was ordered by Duke Lukins, Grand Duke of the Northlands, and the Golden Knight of Henneid, with 4,000 Northland legionnaires to invade the territory of the Norton family, but the whole army was destroyed, the Knight of Cevaney was killed in battle, and Knight Henned's was captured, but they did not know anything about the detailed battle.
Reddy pointed to the guards next to him, "Really, you see none of us guards are nervous, everyone has confidence in adults." In the past, adults took the lead in every battle, charging ahead, and we are all accustomed to the invincible scene of adults. When the adult captured Knight Henned, he used a trick, which is why Knight Hennend was so convinced by the adult......"
Lorist had already reached the gate of the Grand Duke's Palace, which was hidden and opened with a slight push.
Entering the gate is a small square, which used to be a place where the guards of the Grand Duke's Mansion patrolled and rotated as a whole team for training.
Lorist stood at the gate, took a deep breath, and signed up loudly: "Norton family, Earl Lord, Norton Lorist has come to visit Her Royal Highness Princess Celevia, please princess, come and meet!"
Lorist wasn't shouting, but his voice was like thunder, rolling and echoing over the Grand Duke's Mansion.
The Grand Duke's Mansion suddenly jumped like chickens and dogs, and a large group of people rushed out, facing Lorist alone, all of them as if they were facing a great enemy......
After a while, a shout came: "Kingdom of Iberia, Her Royal Highness Princess Celivia has arrived in ......"
This was the first time Lorist had met Princess Celevia, and he now understood what Count Kenmeth had said about Princess Celevia, a goddess-like being. Rao is Lorist has gone through two lives, and has seen countless beauties, and when he sees Princess Celevia, he also feels amazing, and a word appears in his mind: elf.
It is indeed as beautiful and elegant as the legendary elves...... Lorist sighed slightly, then gathered his mind and no longer paid attention to the face of the country and the city.
Princess Celivia was also looking Lorist up and down, curious about the Lord of the Northlands whom she hadn't met since she came to the Northlands, but Lorist was dressed very ordinary, and he didn't wear the latest Sid steel armor like his own family soldiers. Instead, he wore a very ordinary gray fine linen coat, a black undershirt, black trousers, black half-leg leather boots, and a bright silver steel wire soft armor on his upper body.
A height of more than 1.8 meters can only be regarded as a medium height in the generally tall Gallinthia continent. The person is not very outstanding, neither handsome nor ugly, can only be considered ordinary. Princess Celevia, who has seen a lot of handsome men and handsome guys, promises that if she sees the lord of the Norton family in the crowd, she will forget in a blink of an eye that this is purely the role of a passerby.
However, what made Princess Celivia feel a little unusual was that this Lord Norton's black eyes were bright, and he looked at himself very clearly, unlike those nobles who were respectful on the surface and obscene behind them. It was very comfortable. Her long black hair is tied behind her head, and there seems to be confidence between her eyebrows. It seems that he has a unique temperament, and it is a little strange to have an intuition that nothing can be difficult for him.
Lorist lowered his head, bent down slightly, stroked his chest with his right hand, and saluted the nobles on an equal footing: "Your Royal Highness Princess Sirivia, the Norton family of the Northlands, the current head of the family. Count Norton Lorist greets you. ”
"Daring, you are a nobleman of the Iberian Kingdom. Why don't you make a pilgrimage to Her Royal Highness, do you want to commit the following offense?" Princess Celivia could not reply, and one of the guards next to her became angry and shouted at Lorist.
"When did the Norton family become the nobles of the Iberian Kingdom? Why didn't the Norton family know? If the Norton family swore allegiance to the Iberian Kingdom, then please show the oath and the letter of allegiance to prove it, otherwise shut your mouth!" Lorist smiled brightly. But the anger in his eyes forced the guard to take two steps back, unable to speak.
Princess Celivia stepped forward and stood in front of the guard, her face was cold, and her tone was as cold as frost: "So Baron Norton doesn't recognize himself as a nobleman of the Iberian Kingdom?"
"Of course. Her Royal Highness the Princess. As the world knows, the Norton family of the Northland has been loyal to the Krisson royal family for generations, guarding the borders of the empire, and has been conscientious for three hundred years. It's a pity that the empire is in civil strife, and the three kings compete for the throne, which makes a strong empire separate and collapse. However, the Norton family still remembered their ancestral teachings and guarded the northern frontier for the empire, and did not want to participate in the internal strife of the empire. May I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, is this behavior of the Norton family worthy of loyalty?"
"But don't forget, the empire is gone, so the Norton family began to act recklessly, and the banditry that ransacked the Grand Duke's territory a few years ago was not done by your Norton family?" Princess Celivia sneered.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, although the empire is gone, the loyalty and courage of the Norton family are still there, and they are still responsible for guarding the border against the tide of demonic beasts. As for the unfortunate events that happened in the Grand Dukes a few years ago, it can only be said that Duke Lukins, the Grand Duke of the Northlands, is to blame, he should not have extended his greedy claws to the Norton family, we are just fighting back in self-defense. As for the people of the Grand Duke's domain, they voluntarily followed us to the Norton family territory to start a peaceful and peaceful life in order to escape the war. Your Royal Highness, you can understand if you think about it, have we in the Norton family forcibly taken an inch of other people's territory? No, we have been living in our own family territory. But even so, there are still people who refuse to let our family go, forcing us to fight back......" Lorist retorted loudly.
Princess Celevia's jade-like cheeks were stained with two blushes, which made her a little angry: "You are really sharp-tongued, Baron Norton, is it true that your Norton family relies on a sharp mouth to fight the tide of Warcraft?"
This is a bit of a big deal, but Princess Celivia is already angry this time, and she can't care about anything else.
Lorist smiled calmly: "Don't forget, Your Highness Princess, I have fulfilled your request to see the Monsters, you should have seen those Monster corpses with your own eyes, and know how our heroic soldiers of the Norton family fought against the Monsters." I would like to remind Her Highness that the Norton family is now an earl, because of the hard work of generations of ancestors to guard the borders of the empire, so the orthodox blood of the Christian royal family has been canonized by the royal family of Antinac to canonize our family as earls, and we accept it, and we deserve it. ”
Princess Celivia was speechless at first refuted by Lorist's words, but when she heard the back, she snorted softly from her nose: "It turns out that your Norton family is in collusion with the Andinac royal family, no wonder you will not hesitate to refuse his requests to the king of our Iberian kingdom and repeatedly refuse his requests......"
Lorist laughed dumbly. He took out a piece of paper from his bosom: "Your Royal Highness, maybe you should listen to what your Majesty the King has asked of the Norton family. ”
Lorist read aloud the three harsh requirements mentioned in the second prince's letter, only Princess Celevia's face turned red and white, such three conditions, no lord would agree, it was simply sending his family into the abyss. At this time, Her Royal Highness the princess instinctively lost face and lost her hair.
"I don't listen, I don't listen......" Her Royal Highness the princess gave a little girl temper. Stomping his foot and smiling angrily.
"It's over, Your Royal Highness Princess, regardless of the grievances between me and the second prince, anyway, he led an army of 100,000 to attack our Norton family, this will be over, and even he doesn't know where to flee. I have now come to discuss with you the question of your restriction of the personal liberty of the Tabek knights and the barons of Shahin. What are you going to do to give them freedom? You know there's a lot of stuff to do after the war, there's a lot to be done...... "Lorist said.
Speaking of business, Her Royal Highness the princess also regained her composure: "Simple, better than the sword in my hand, I let them go." ”
Looking at Lorist, Princess Celivia pursed her lips and said contemptuously, "Count Norton." Don't join in the fun with your black iron rank, go back and exchange for your Golden Family Knight. ”
Lorist laughed, stretched out his hand and slowly drew his sword: "I want to try..."
"You're so bold!" the guard beside Princess Celivia just now pounced, and the long sword in his hand flashed with a white sword that shone more than an inch.
"Plop" the silver guard fell at Lorlist's feet.
"Poof. Scold. "It was the other two silver guards who drew their swords and rushed forward......
Then the same one fell to the ground.
When a dozen or so guards fell at Lorlist's feet, Lorist became impatient: "Your Royal Highness Princess, how many guards do you have, just ask them to go up together, I sent them away early......"
Princess Celivia's face was solemn. While drawing his sword, he waved his hand to stop the remaining guards who wanted to rush forward: "You are not his opponent, let me ......"
"You're no match for me either. Her Royal Highness Princess Celevia, let the people behind you come out, don't think that no one will find out if you hide in the shadows of the shadows. Lorist said unceremoniously to the princess, and then turned to look sideways at a large tree beside the courtyard wall.
"I've never seen your swordsmanship like this, and I don't know how you found me. All I can say is that your swordsmanship heritage is very strange......" A slightly hoarse female voice came from under the tree, and a figure wearing a hooded and a wide black robe appeared in front of the tree.
For the first time, a nervous expression appeared on Lorist's face. His natural dynamic vision couldn't capture the real location of this figure in a black robe, it seemed to be under a big tree, but it seemed that there was no one in the black robe, just a piece of clothing.
Lorist licked his lips: "I think you should be the nurse of Her Royal Highness the princess, the great swordsman Xiandi." No wonder Henneid missed out on the fight with Her Royal Highness the Princess, it turned out that you were there to help...... I think it's strange, no matter how amazing the princess is, how talented and talented she is, but after all, she is still young, but with the rank of a golden star, how can she defeat the battle-hardened golden knight?......"
"You dare to look down on me, hum, look at the sword!" Princess Celivia on the side got angry, and when she stomped her foot, a golden sword flashed on her sword, and she rushed towards Lorlist.
"Stop!" the black-robed figure was shocked, not knowing whether to tell the princess to stop or let Lorist not resist, obediently don't move and let the princess stab a sword to dissipate her anger.
Lorist naturally ignored the cry of the black shadow, and as soon as he was short, there was an iron bridge in place, and the princess's dash failed. Like a spring, the body bounced up, and it was already close to the princess, almost in a state of hand-to-hand combat.
The princess was shocked, whether it was blocking or dodging, she had the next step to prepare, but she didn't expect that although Lorist was dodging, but the person was in place, and she sprinted to the location where Lorist was, this time Lorlist's body bounced up and was already close to the body, the poor princess has never been so close to a strange man, and she was in a hurry at the moment, only to know that she reached out and wanted to push Loris so close......
Lorist's figure shook again, and the person had reached the back of the princess, grabbing the hand of the princess's sword with one hand, and the blade of the sword in the other hand was close to the princess's white jade-like face, and the cold sword aura suddenly made Princess Celivia stiff and immobile.
A cold light flashed from mid-air, but it was Princess Celevia's pale face that was facing the cold light......
