Augustus led His Royal Highness Sophia all the way to the room he had prepared in the castle, and there was no exaggerated carpet on the way like Baron Obilla, and his attitude was not cold but not enthusiastic, but he arranged two maids for Sophia, he said simply, the two of them will be responsible for Sophia's daily life for the next time, if there are other needs, she can go to Alfred's old butler at any time, as long as it can be satisfied, I believe that the old butler will definitely find a way to meet her requirements, other needs are mentioned here, Augustus is more serious, God knows if this princess from the empire has other alternative fetishes。 Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Don't you hear that the children of the nobles of the empire have some unique and exquisite little hobbies?

Sophia bent her knees, a beautiful dress salute, and despite wearing a knightly white tight blouse and black hunting pants, her posture was still elegant and impeccable.

She didn't speak, but that didn't mean it was rude caused by her excessive arrogance, more often than not, it was just her usual cold personality.

Augustus returned the salute and turned to leave, seemingly considering that His Royal Highness Sophia needed to rest after running all the way, but in fact, this can also show Augustus's attitude towards Sophia's arrival from the side, although from beginning to end he did not say that Alfred did not welcome you, but whether intentionally or not, he did reveal this meaning.

To Augustus' surprise, however, His Highness Sophia, who had never spoken, did not seem to care about his unfriendliness, neither showed the arrogance of the Imperial noblelady, nor did he ask Augustus about the tragic scenes she had seen on the moorland road - it must be admitted that Augustus did not welcome the arrival of Her Highness, and a large part of it was due to the fear that Sophia would either have an overflowing sympathy, or an almost ironclad youthful stupid self-desire.

Leave Sophia's room.

happened to meet the old butler who went forward to arrange for the 4 white-robed priests of the Holy See of Light to turn back, and learned that the 4 'redemption' magicians under the Fourth Law were also arranged, Augustus thought about explaining to Old Vernon, to pay close attention to Sophia's every move, especially once she left Alfred Castle, her movements should be carefully watched- This is another reason why Augustus did not welcome Sophia, although he could guess that the Bishop of Mass should arrange for someone to protect Sophia's safety in a place he could not see, but if Sophia really came to the wasteland to hunt for curiosities, as Augustus guessed, then in this environment where the whole wasteland is in turmoil, who can predict what kind of trouble Sophia will bring him?

Old Vernon bowed down and asked Augustus if he wanted to prepare a dinner party to show his apparent welcome to His Highness Sophia.

Augustus flatly refused, very busy.

It is indeed very busy, the lich has appeared in the Siberian taiga, under normal circumstances, it will be in the wasteland in 3 days at most, which means that Augustus still has 2 days to prepare for his death, during these 2 days, he first needs to ensure the smooth transition of Alfred's territory, which has poured into a large number of foreign civilians, and secondly, he also needs to make detailed statistics of the current power of the Alfred family, including the gathering of Alfred's servants. A swordsman with level 3 fighting power, and at the same time, he needs to properly coordinate Alfred's reserves, in addition to supplying foreign civilians, he also has to prepare for the upcoming war, and most importantly, the lich is coming, but Augustus has not yet decided how to use his limited power to resist the surging lich.

This kind of imminent big event, coupled with the fact that he occasionally had to meet with the fiefdom servants who visited him in the past two days, and all kinds of small things, it is conceivable that Augustus was busy with work, and how could he have time to prepare any dinner.

He drove his wheelchair back to the castle study.

The old butler did not follow, and in the same way, old Vernon also had his job, just like his lord Since his attitude towards His Royal Highness Sophia was not friendly enough, then as a butler, Old Vernon needed to make His Royal Highness Sophia feel the implicit sincerity of the Alfred family through various details, which was really not an easy and simple job.

In the study.

Elizabeth was buried in the vast papers, and all in front of her were the grain reserve documents reported by the various fiefs of the Alfred family, although the nobles of Alfred's fiefs would certainly be meticulous in distributing food to the foreign commoners according to Augustus's orders, but there were some details that Augustus still needed to decide. For example, the city of Saya is relatively rich in food reserves, while the town of Green is relatively poor, so when the number of civilians pouring into the city is roughly equal, how to ensure that the two towns will not have a shortage of food in a short period of time, this needs to be decided by Augustus, because if this kind of matter is left to the lords of each town to deal with themselves, even if they do not go against Augustus's will, there will inevitably be friction and disputes.

This is the original sin of mankind and cannot be changed.

Augustus sat down across from Elizabeth and met Elizabeth's smile at him, and he smiled the same and did not speak.

I really feel sorry for Elizabeth to work with him, but considering the workload of these 2 days, and Elizabeth, who has handled all matters in Alfred's territory for 3 months, does have a deeper understanding of Alfred's towns than Augustus, Augustus really has no reason to refuse Elizabeth, besides, if all the details have to be handled by Augustus, then I am afraid that no matter how efficient it is, Augustus will not be ready to welcome the lich when he steps into the land of the wasteland.

Elizabeth was responsible for the rational allocation of the grain reserves in the towns, while Augustus needed to ensure that the food in the towns could be maintained for a month, and the food from the towns was used for war supplies.

"Brother, at present, the two cities of Dehe and Saye alone have poured into nearly 10,000 civilians, I am worried that once the news of the Holy See Knights Cathar stationed in Alfred Castle spreads, the number of civilians will swell rapidly in the past two days, and at that time, I am afraid that to maintain it for one month, a huge amount of materials will be needed. Flipping through the documents in her hand, Elizabeth suddenly raised her head and frowned.

Augustus didn't look up, he kept writing something with a quill pen, and replied casually: "What is expected, don't worry, old Vernon is already counting the castle vaults, I will find a way to buy a batch of supplies from the empire as soon as possible and come back for emergencies, as long as I hold on for a month, when the lich retreats, I will find sufficient supplies." ”

"A month, but how do you know that the Lich will leave as long as it lasts for a month?"

Augustus looked up and smiled: "Yes, one month is enough." ”

Elizabeth was stunned, but then squinted and smiled, then lowered her head and continued to give instructions and record the documents in her hand.

Of course, she believed in her brother, so she wouldn't ask Augustus how he could buy emergency supplies from the Empire, let alone why Augustus believed that the Lich would definitely retire in a month.

So on the first day, Augustus and his sister focused all their energies on supplies.

The next day, Augustus began to sort out the information of the swordsmen with level 3 fighting strength gathered by various families, and when he was looking through these materials, he inevitably thought of what Arthras said, Alfred's current strength was not enough to resist the lich, so he put these materials aside for the time being, Augustus sorted out his thoughts, and wrote a letter to Count Christopher and Count Donald, and handed it to the old butler to deal with, asking that it must be guaranteed that Donald and Christopher could see the letter within 2 days anyway。

For two days and two nights, it can be said that apart from dining, Augustus and Elizabeth almost locked them in their study and never went out.

These 17-year-old Alfred siblings, the other only 15-year-old, stood stubbornly and tenaciously in the face of the lich and the nobles of the entire wasteland.

......

By the third day, Augustus could no longer remain in the study, and with the efforts of him and Elizabeth, he and Elizabeth had laid out a clear outline, and only the last and most important question left before Alfred was how to use the power he had in his hands to successfully resist the Lich's invasion.

The shadow of the Lich should have loomed over the wasteland.

Since Augustus no longer intends to leave the decision of the war entirely to the two of them since he knew the so-called knightly beliefs of Arthras and Katiene, it is of course necessary for him to find a person who can decide the war to direct and deploy the forces in his hands, and this person is currently living in Alfred Castle.

Augustus drove his wheelchair alone to the inexplicable middle-aged man's room.

On the way, he passed by the room he had arranged for Sophia, and it seemed that he finally remembered that the little princess of Constantine also lived in his castle, and he hesitated at the door of Sophia's room, and finally walked directly.

He came to the middle-aged man's door, and was about to reach out and knock on the door, when he heard a crisp voice from the room that he was familiar with, but the tone did feel unfamiliar.

And when he listened to a few words of conversation between the two people in the room in amazement, he suddenly looked strange.

In the middle-aged man's room, the little princess of Constantine wore a gorgeous pink dress, and instead of sitting on a chair, she sat on the desk in the room, with her feet crossed and shaking.

"Albert, even Mass said that you are the real first knight of the continent, so you really can't beat Carthage? ”

"It's not unreasonable, Carthage is the most dazzling undefeated god of war on the imperial stage, it's normal that I can't beat him. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll think you're being humble, but then again, Albert, you've been in this little devil's castle for so many days, and that little devil hasn't even come to see you, don't you mind at all? Are you sure you'll help him?" Speaking of this, it seemed that the cold-blooded little devil also snubbed her, the princess of Constantine, for 3 whole days, Sophia quickly said again: " Forget about this damn devil, Albert, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you, but I haven't been able to find a chance, and I have to tell me, many people in the Empire say that when you went to Mocha Mountain, you really ran into that dragon, and you used your spear to blind the dragon in one eye, is this true? Were you scared when you faced the dragon? Is the dragon really as terrible as the legend?"

The middle-aged man, who was very happy and had the image of a farmer, scratched his unkempt hair and smiled, but did not answer immediately, as if it was because the series of words of the little princess Constantine was too informative.

Then he said: "The real situation is like this, I went to Mocha Mountain, but I didn't meet the dragon, but I heard a roar at the foot of the mountain, and my legs were weak, how can I still have the strength to climb up the mountain, not to mention the shadow of the dragon, even the dragon's tail I can't see, speaking of which, I remember going to Mocha Mountain when I did bring a spear that I liked, but unfortunately, the roar scared me to the fart and urine, I can't even remember where the spear was lost, I'm afraid I can't find it back in this life." ”
