Chapter 503: The Hidden Highness (I)
The Blinor River crashes into the rocky heights where the royal capital of the Gambis is located, and the choppy waters of the river divide into two main tributaries. One rushes eastward, then turns south, passes through the Chashua family's Waterdeep City, and finally joins the Jinshui River. The other flows westward, and after making a great circle, it turns south and flows into the Jinshui River as well.
The Gambis, the two largest tributaries of the Blinor, are called the East and West Nore rivers respectively. In the middle of them is the hinterland of the Kingdom of Gambis, the fertile plain of the Three Forks.
In order to connect the eastern and western borders of Gambis, the Auguste family built many ropeway bridges, pontoon bridges and ferries on two north-south rivers, but there were only two transportation hubs that allowed horse-drawn carriages to pass through, one was the deepwater city of the East Nore River, and the other was the town of Longbridge in the middle reaches of the Sinoer River.
A stone arch bridge more than 140 meters long spans the river, connecting the Sancha River Plain with the western border of the kingdom, hence the name of the town of Changqiao.
The main body of the long bridge is made of solid limestone, with a total of 30 bridge holes, and the bridge deck is composed of a group of ironwood suspension bridges and city gate guards, which reduces the weight of the bridge body, facilitates maintenance and repair, and also takes into account the needs of war. When the suspension bridge is lowered, the deck is 18 meters wide and divided into two lanes, left and right, allowing six heavy carriages to pass in parallel. When defending against the enemy, the soldiers pulled up the suspension bridge, and the long bridge became an insurmountable natural hazard.
As an important gateway to the hinterland of the kingdom, almost half of the materials exchanged between the royal capital and the western frontier had to be transferred through Longbridge Town. The large caravans and travelers on both sides of the bridge have large trading yards with shops, taverns, inns and other pastimes, and of course high-end inns for the aristocracy.
The town of Longbridge is densely populated and well-stocked, and it is one of the few prosperous towns in the kingdom, but it can always be boring after a long time. Especially, the little squires who followed Randall's master out of the house for the first time, they all looked forward to going to the royal capital of Blinor.
Nine days ago, the Randall family's convoy arrived in Longbridge Town, and the owner ordered the convoy to rest here for a day, replenish supplies, and then go to the royal capital for the winter. As the convoy departed, the garrison of Longbridge chased after him with a letter from the Kite Crow, asking Viscount Randall to stay in Longbridge for a few days, saying that a noble man was coming here to join the Randall family's convoy.
So, the convoy turned back to Westtown, and Randall's owner did not reveal the identity of the big man, but everyone could see that the owner was looking forward to it.
It wasn't until last night that Viscount Randall announced that Her Majesty the Queen Mother would accompany him on her visit to the Kingdom of Neville, and that the itinerary of the convoy would also be adjusted, starting from the west town of Longbridge, along the banks of the Sinore River all the way north, before the snow season, to stay in Minsk County, and then go to Neville after the ice and snow melted the following year.
Early this morning, the little attendants, who were in an agitated and anxious mood, took care of their appearance, adjusted their moods, and put on their best mental state, and prepared to greet Her Majesty Catherine Auguste, Queen Mother. In the afternoon, a troop of cavalry, escorting three aristocratic van horses with the crest of the kite, crossed the 100-meter-long bridge and stopped in front of the Randall family convoy. Two noble ladies dressed in ferretskin cloaks, hoods, and veils stepped out of the carriage, and Viscount Randall took the initiative to salute them, and after a few words of cordial and polite conversation with them, he led them to the main car of the Randall family.
Seeing this scene, Brandon's eyes were about to pop out.
The Queen Mother...... She, she, she got into her master's carriage and closed the door?
The vast majority of apprentice knights are not qualified to step into the circle of transcendentals, and the little squire of the Randall family does not know that the peerless Lady Sylvia is the most noble person today, and in the perception of these little guys, the king has the highest status, the duke and marquis are the great nobles second only to the king, the earls and viscounts belong to the middle nobility, and finally it is the turn of the barons and lords.
The Queen Mother is called Your Majesty, and her status is equivalent to that of the king, but she actually got into the master's carriage in front of everyone?! The Queen Mother of Gambis is also the master's lover?!
No wonder the little squire was inexplicably shocked, even the garrison officer of Longbridge Town had an expression of disbelief, he didn't even bother to say hello, and turned around and left with his soldiers. Judging by his anxious appearance, he will definitely not see him off.
Someone poked him in the waist, Brandon quickly closed his mouth, turned his head to look, and found that it was Klaus.
"Brandon, is that lady Her Majesty the Queen Mother just now?"
"Well, I guess so...... I don't know. Brandon replied absent-mindedly.
"Or ...... Ask Lady Alina?" Klaus pouted Brandon as the first bird.
Brandon woke up, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Why don't you go?"
“...... "Klaus said tentatively.
Brandon suddenly came to his senses and nodded without hesitation, "Okay! ”
The little squire pushed Brandon and Klaus to Mrs. Alina's place, and saw her talking to several knights of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in fine armor from a distance, so he shrank on the side of the carriage and waited for the knights of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to leave before he stepped forward to greet her.
"I was about to send for you. ”
The red-haired and blue-eyed Lady Alina changed her usual gentleness and kindness, her back was straight, her chest was straight, and she looked solemn and majestic: "The convoy will set off immediately, and the next trip will be in charge of the maid with the sword of Rose...... You ride in the attendant carriage at the back, and do not approach the main chariot of the family at will without the call of the master. ”
"Ma'am, what shall we do?" asked Klaus.
A smile tugged at the corner of Alina's lips: "You have to remember that this is the Randall family's convoy. The master entrusted the escort to the Augur knights of Rose Manor, and I was in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the convoy. and ye shall be my heralds and assistants. ”
"Yes. The little attendants agreed in unison.
Klaus secretly pushed Brandon, and Brandon had to ask, "Madam, how are we going to deal with that...... Guest?"
Alina hesitated, and said softly but surely: "Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Countess Ariel have brought 4 knights of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 20 probationary knight attendants, and 20 court maids...... But they are not guests, but members of the convoy. As for Her Majesty the Queen Mother...... You will follow the etiquette of meeting the lady of the family...... She is not called by her last name, she is called Lady Catherine. ”
The little attendants looked at each other, and there was excitement and exclamation in the eyes that exchanged with each other:
Her Majesty the Queen Mother is indeed the master's lover!
Viscount Randall finally set off, and the convoy left Longbridge Town and made its way along the riverbank road. Catherine leaned in front of the crystal window, browsing the scenery of the riverbank, turned her back to Victor, and said with great interest: "This is my first long journey...... Come and see, my dear, there is a flock of blue-feathered swans by the river. ”
As soon as she got into the car, she kicked off her high heels, took off her cloak and veil, changed into a light and comfortable spider silk dress, and slipped into the lounge in the rear compartment. The flaxen-colored hair is draped around the waist, the pink dress outlines the graceful body curves, and the plump and round buttocks are cushioned on the delicate feet of snow jade, and the lazy and casual demeanor is extremely attractive.
Victor's eyes were hot, and his heart was hot, and he took the mistress of the kite castle into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her delicate red lips. Catherine exclaimed in surprise, fell softly into Victor's arms, closed her eyes, raised her delicate and bright pretty face, and responded enthusiastically.
The tongues of the two were entangled, as if dry firewood met a fire, and there was a great sense of being out of control. It wasn't until the sound of a soft cough from Lady Ariel outside the curtain of the compartment that Catherine opened her watery eyes, blushed, and pulled her hand out of Victor's robe, weakly refusing.
Among the high-ranking female knight companions, Victor has the most shallow feelings for Catherine. When they don't meet, Victor doesn't even miss her much, but every time they meet, the two of them are so enthusiastic that they can't help themselves.
Victor now knows that both he and Catherine have been affected by wizarding potions.
This potion is not a low-level aphrodisiac, but a law related to bloodline reproduction. For otherworldly beings who have difficulty giving birth, the attraction caused by potions is very strong and especially important.
From the lord's point of view, the issue of the Randall family's heir has become Victor's heart. He couldn't get any of his partners to conceive offspring until his bloodline was secure, and once his bloodline was established, only the Golden Knight and Sylvia could give birth to his offspring.
Sylvia certainly wouldn't give the child to Victor. Among the remaining golden female knights, there are only three candidates who can have offspring with Victor. Whether they are willing to accept Victor's pursuit is not mentioned for the time being, and even if they give birth to Victor's child, they will not give the child to the Randall family.
The silver knight couldn't give birth, and the golden knight refused to hand over the heir, and Victor was at a loss for his predicament.
Of course, he could adopt a child as the heir to the Randall family. However, he is obviously an ancient golden bloodline, but he wants to cultivate an heir of the bronze bloodline, how can Victor be willing?
The secret method of the Spiritual Bloodline depends on the talent and luck of the practitioner, and the Knight Bloodline is the most stable and extraordinary power. It can be said that the knightly bloodline determines the stable lineage and future pattern of a family.
Suppose that the personal strength of the extraordinary knights is far inferior to the aircraft cannons and aircraft carrier nuclear bombs in the earth world, if the extraordinary knights appear on the earth, they may initially become the playthings of the powerful, but what about three generations later? With the beauty, longevity, eternal youth, outstanding wisdom and extraordinary strength of the extraordinary knights, their bloodlines will inevitably be sought after by the mortal nobles, and a new knightly aristocracy will soon appear in the earth world.
The highly civilized modern society still has to fall under the charm of the knight's blood, not to mention the soul warrior who has not yet skimmed the eight characters?
In the political system constructed by Victor, the knightly nobility remained at the top of the pyramid. This is an objective fact that cannot be shaken by the will of the individual.
If Catherine can conceive Victor's offspring now, it means that other silver knights can too, and the key is the mysterious wizard of the Kite Castle.
Victor was almost sure of this, otherwise the Castle would not have revealed the Queen Mother's intimacy with him! He wanted to take Catherine now, but beyond the veil sat the glamorous and charming Ariel Ariel.
In fact, the little baron was originally the companion of the high female knights in the Kite Castle, and the two female knights in the car had very close contact with him. It's just that Victor's life level has stepped into the transcendent realm, and the primary and secondary relationship between the two sides has been reversed. Kite Castle chooses Ariel to be Catherine's personal bodyguard, apparently not to let her hinder Victor, but to remind Her Majesty the Queen Mother that it is appropriate to stop.
The fruit is not yet ripe and it is not yet time to be picked.
Victor knew that Kite Castle wanted his golden bloodline. If this was a condition in exchange for a wizard's potion, Victor was willing to accept it. But he won't give up X-3 and human blood easily for the sake of the Randall family's heir.
Running X-3 slightly, the boiling desire quickly fell silent, and Victor's burning eyes returned to clarity. Catherine, however, caught a fleeting golden glint in his eyes.
"Your ......eyes, my dear," Catherine took Victor's cheek and examined his dark eyes, ignoring the hands that were broken in her skirt.
Seeing Catherine's slightly open red lips and snow-white neat teeth, Victor leaned in and pecked lightly, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with my eyes?"
Puzzled and surprised, Catherine offered a fragrant kiss, put her arms around Victor's neck, and whispered, "Just now, it shone with golden light...... I can't be mistaken. ”
"Really?" Victor quickly turned his head and looked at the mirror in the carriage, running X-3, but nothing happened.
Outside the curtain, there was a brief pause in the sound of breathing, followed by the coquettish voice of Lady Ariel, "Lord Randall, may I come in?"
Victor gathered his thoughts and replied in a loud voice, "Please come in, Lady Ariel." "Mobile phone users look at the extraordinary aristocracy, please browse, a better user experience.
