As the sky dawned, Catherine awoke from her deep slumber and opened her eyes to find herself alone in the soft and comfortable bed. She hugged the soft rabbit down blanket and lay lazily on the bed, reminiscing about the passionate indulgence after reuniting with her lover after a long absence last night. Duchess Catherine Osveld's cheeks gradually became a layer of bright color, but thinking that Victor didn't know when to sneak out of bed, she complained a little in her heart, and couldn't help but purse her red lips and scolded softly: "Bad guy." ”

Catherine put on a silver spider silk nightdress, tied a thin belt around her waist, and stepped on the wool carpet with her snow-white slender feet, and walked to the baby room next door.

Curtains obscured the morning light, the smell of cat's eye amber and night corn filled the room with a sense of tranquility and tranquility, and Victor wore thin pajamas, half-kneeling motionless in front of the little bed, looking intently at the little pink one.

She had the same black hair as Victor, her eyes closed, sleeping soundly, her round face, chubby hands and feet, and her eyelashes were densely curved. This delicate little creature was the Creator's greatest masterpiece, and Victor stared at her as if he saw a miracle, a treasure, a gift, and his eyes were reluctant to blink.

Randall held his breath, slowing his heartbeat and controlling the airflow in the room, for fear of waking the little baby from his sleep.

Catherine saw that her lover's back was like a sculpture, and her heart swelled with warmth and sweetness, and she stood on her tiptoes and prepared to walk quietly over, when she suddenly felt the dense air actually make the spider silk nightdress stick to her body. She realized that the entire nursery was now in the realm of the furious winds, and the intimate companion who made her happy and content, the father who doted on his daughter, and the top Sanctuary powerhouse of the current generation suddenly overlapped.

Raising her hand and tapping lightly on the door frame, the moment Catherine stepped into the room, the resistance in the air disappeared instantly, and a stream of air gently wrapped her, making her steps lighter.

"Honey, how long have you been watching?" asked Catherine, kneeling beside her lover, holding him from behind with her hands on her shoulders and her graceful chin resting on his shoulder.

"It didn't take long. Victor didn't look back, and said casually.

".......Liar, you see that I fell asleep, left me alone in bed, and secretly ran to see my daughter by myself, right?" Catherine bit Victor's ear and said in a somewhat sour tone. There was only Linobia in her lover's eyes now, and it made her feel a little jealous.

Victor didn't seem to hear Catherine's complaints, and muttered, "She's so small...... I remember Nana is now 1 year, 9 months and 14 days old, but she doesn't seem to be able to walk yet......"

"Our Nana is not an extraordinary person, her father is a noble Fury Wind Sword Saint, born with a golden bloodline, and of course her growth is slower than the average person. Catherine chuckled and said proudly.

"Be quiet, don't wake her up. ”

"It's okay, she's going to wake up soon......"

"Aren't children supposed to snooze?" asked Victor, frowning and looking confused.

"Well, Nana usually sleeps until the morning...... Today is special. ”

"Why?"

“...... What do you say?" said Catherine, grimacing.

Feeling the softness on his back, Victor finally looked back at Catherine, weak, and defended in a snort, "I didn't ...... I don't know ......."

Seeing His Royal Highness Randall's face flushed and helpless, Catherine's heart instantly blossomed, tilted her head, pursed her lips and smiled: "Fool, I'll tease you." ”

The palace is heavily guarded, with three Silver Knights, including Catherine, who are the Secret Knights of the Interior and the Faceless's most elite Secret Guardians, who are responsible for protecting Rinobia's safety. The Marquis of Goron lived in a villa not far from the palace, and he and the Prince Regent Williams, who had just been promoted to the gold rank, took turns on duty, and could rush to the palace at any time.

In addition to this, the court priest who was resident in the Kite Castle of Blinor Cathedral was also transferred to the palace of Catherine's mother and daughter. They are the children of the side branches of the four princely families, because of their close relationship with the royal family of Cambes, there is no hope of promotion within the church, and they can only act as liaisons between the Holy See and the royal family, and their position is naturally biased towards the royal family.

Victor even believes that the sorcerers of the Kite Castle lurk in the shadows.

Linobia is taken care of by the Kite Castle, and Victor has no worries about her health and safety. Behind the other door of the nursery was a team of maids on standby, and when Victor and Catherine left, they would come in and take care of Linobia, never starving.

Victor, who was a father for the first time, saw that his daughter couldn't put it down, and he didn't respond to Catherine's teasing, he thought about it and said uncertainly: "It's better for babies to drink breast milk...... It shouldn't have anything to do with whether it's a golden bloodline, right?"

Catherine cupped Victor's cheek, looked at her lover carefully for a while, and said seriously: "Your Royal Highness, you are still the same as before...... Lovely. ”

The former Queen Mother, now Duchess of Ausveld, giggled. Victor had to pick up his wife's waist and legs, and carry him out of the nursery horizontally, for fear of waking up Princess Nana.

That's right, Catherine gave birth to Linobia, and she was automatically promoted to wife in the eyes of His Highness Randall, and her status was only below Sylvia.

In the morning, an unmarked aristocratic carriage stopped at the edge of Blinauer Cathedral, and His Royal Highness Randall and his wife and daughter prayed in the church, and drove directly back to their residence in the kite.

The family of three had a warm, romantic and interesting lunch in the palace, Catherine was responsible for feeding Princess Nana, and Victor was responsible for feeding Catherine snacks and fruits. This is not a difficult task for him, and there is so much to learn from the little baron's will. If it were the other way around, the mighty Raging Wind Sword Saint would be going crazy.

As soon as lunch was over, an attendant came in to report that King Edward, Queen Anna, and Prince Regent Williams had come to visit His Royal Highness Randall.

Victor was going to coax Nana to take a nap first, but the little guy seemed to like him very much, and he stuck to his body and refused to sleep. Catherine wanted to hold Nana down, she immediately hung Victor's neck and cried, tossing several times to no avail, Catherine, a mother, began to be jealous of Victor who met her daughter again.

There was no way, the complacent Highness Randall had to hold his baby daughter and greet the royal couple and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent.

I haven't seen each other for two years, Edward and Anna both resonate with 12 elemental positions, and are promoted to the rank of junior bronze horseman, one is handsome and tall, the other is beautiful and generous, both of them show the grace of a king, and they look more mature and stable than Victor.

However, Edward is the blood of the Auguste family, innocent by nature, and his attitude towards Victor is a little awkward.

After all, Victor barely had a place as an elder brother in his mind, but King Edward was overwhelmed by the fact that his former childhood friend had become intimate partners with his mother and gave birth to a daughter. Even if the Golden-Eyed Earl and Roland came together, Edward could happily accept it, but His Highness Randall returned to the Kingdom of Gombis as a powerhouse in the Sanctuary, but his sister did not return.

Fortunately, Queen Angelina was born in the York family, was nurtured by the Divine Knights, and lived in Silvermoon Manor for more than half a year, so she understood the majesty of the Raging Wind Sword Saint that could not be slackened. She took advantage of this relationship, laughing and cleverly defusing the awkward atmosphere between her husband and His Royal Highness Randall.

Curiosity was another of August's qualities, and Edward was soon drawn to the wars that Victor experienced. In particular, Victor and Master Ron went deep into the wilderness and booby-trapped the legendary monster Manticore, which made the young king very envious, and sighed at the fall of Master Ron.

Edward kept asking questions, hypothetical deductions, as if he had joined the adventure party himself. Both sides deliberately avoided the topic of Roland, and everything that Kite Castle should know was already known anyway.

"Your Majesty, what do you think is the root cause of this orc war?" asked Victor softly, holding his precious daughter who had finally begun to yawn.

Edward looked at Anna and received a sweet smile full of adoration and encouragement, and he replied confidently, "Listening to the experience recounted by His Highness, I feel that the Knights of Radiance seem to be leading this all-out orc war, because from any point of view, it is not a wise decision for the Sidon Centaur clan to attack the defenses of the Sassan Empire...... No matter how stupid the orcs are, their conflict with the human kingdom has lasted for thousands of years, and they have their own survival experience and ways to win. ”

Victor nodded in appreciation, then shook his head and said, "The root cause of this war is actually the goblins...... Centaurs rely on goblin minions, and the greater the number of goblin minions, the stronger the clan. However, centaurs are capable of fighting and are natural mobile cavalrymen, and they are supposed to wander around, chasing prey and trampling enemies. However, the obedience and suppositing of goblin minions changed the nature of centaurs, and as the number of goblin minions grew, the centaur clan needed a larger territory, more resources, or managed to reduce the number of goblin minions. If you want to reduce the goblin minions and slaughter them yourself, it is better to take them with you to attack other opponents. ”

"The total number of goblin servants in the Sidon Khanate has accumulated to the tipping point of war, and it just so happens that the army of the Sassanian Empire is expanding eastward, and the centaurs of the six tribes finally have a common need for joint operations. ”

By this time, Nana had fallen asleep, and Victor kissed her daughter's chubby little cheek, handed her over to Catherine and took her back to the nursery, and continued: "The human kingdom has always faced the same problem, and the overpopulation has overwhelmed the kingdom's cultivated land. How easy is it for the king to send a decree to the lord to disperse the exiles and freedmen who are staying in the realm? The freedmen and exiles come from the families of the lords, and they have a close connection with each other, which may be husband and wife, or they may be relatives. Decrees to disperse the surplus will be met with resistance from below, and the resentment of the people will be like an invisible poison that will be returned to the king and lords. ”

"The love and support of the people is precisely the reward for kings and lords...... The favor from the power of fate gives you more opportunities to advance to the pinnacle, and even to the legend. ”

Victor sighed, his gaze deep and distant, "When it comes to the topic of the power of fate, no matter how much I explain, you can't understand it with your current realm...... This needs to be experienced firsthand. In short, you must remember that the knightly aristocracy's enthusiasm for secular power is of great importance to itself, and the kingdom is strong, the royal blood is ennobled, and the decline of the kingdom leads to the downgrading of the bloodline. ”

"I look forward to the day when my two Majesties will discuss with me the power of fate. ”

While Edward was still pondering, Anna picked him up and bowed solemnly to Victor, "Thank you, teacher. ”

Victor nodded and said indifferently: "You guys go down first, I still have something to discuss with the regent." ”

When Edward and Anna left the meeting room, Victor's dark golden eyes turned to Williams, who was silent, and said, "The power of fate is wonderful, and I now see that the vassal system proposed by the noble lady of Arya has a new perspective...... The knight family has gone through the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the Bronze Age, and if the golden bloodline is solidified, then how can the ancient golden families marry each other down to silver until the bronze?"

"Arya proposed the vassal system to stabilize the situation of the human kingdom losing and retreating, and also stabilized the bloodline level of the knight family. ”

Williams laughed, "The Angry Wind Swordmaster's insights are worth paying attention to. ”

Victor tapped on the armrest, thought for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "Roland had a deep understanding of this before me...... The royal power is not only an opportunity for promotion given by the power of fate, but also a heavy shackle of fate. Roland used the authority of the eldest princess of Gombis to promote the legend, and threw the opportunity and shackles to you...... But how risky would it be? I wouldn't be surprised if she fell because of the risk. ”

"In any case, I respect Roland's choice. I will no longer pursue the mystery of her life and death. ”

Victor stood up from his main seat, bowed to Williams, and said:

"Your Highness, I'm sorry I lost Princess Auguste. ”
