Chapter Seventy-Six: Lance's Envoy (Part II)
'How could he come in person?' Juana felt a little uneasy in her heart, and the arrival of any powerful man or nobleman at this juncture was an indication of a certain political position. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Her Royal Highness understands that the arrival of Charles Navarre Bourbon is not just an ordinary visit, but that his arrival is the best manifestation of certain political tendencies in the Reims Empire.
The blue maple leaf banner fluttered in the wind, the blue armored royal guards lined up on both sides of the carriage, and the people on both sides of the street looked at the foreign knights freshly, knowing that this was probably a great 'big man' without prior notice.
The people spontaneously stood on both sides of the street, and some of the gentry recognized the blue maple leaf banner and took off their hats to the carriage. Most of the people watched curiously, and some naughty children wanted to join in the fun, but they were all blocked by the royal guards.
At this time, I don't know where a naughty child ran out, he wanted to squeeze to the front row to observe the 'big man' in the mouth of the adults, but he was accidentally squeezed outside by the crowd, and the little boy fell in front of the carriage with the blue maple leaf flag before he could stand firmly.
"Pilot, pilot!" the carriage was about to hit the fallen child, and the driver of the car hurriedly braked suddenly.
"Hmm, why stop?" said the Archduke of Burgundy, who was in a meditative state, slowly.
Before the coachman could answer, the knights on the side had already hurriedly dragged away the 'obstructive' child. "My lord, we didn't protect you well, and a child crashed into your carriage, so let's educate the undisciplined child. ā
The chief knight had already answered for the coachman, and at the signal of his eyes, two royal guards in blue armor walked towards the child who had just fallen, and they decided to teach this little creature a little lesson.
The little boy closed his eyes in fear, he felt the anger of the two knights, and just as the knights were about to slap the little boy in the face, a pair of calm and powerful thick arms stretched out to relieve the little boy from being beaten.
"If you collide with an adult, the small sin deserves death. The struck knight knelt down on one knee at the carriage, and all the knights with him knelt down on one knee before the carriage.
"Forget how I taught you, the strong never take pride in bullying the weak. The arm that had come out of the carriage was slowly retracted, and the Grand Duke of Burgundy only used a little force to block the little boy's slap.
"Yes, my lord, we take your teachings to heart. All the knights spoke in unison.
"Let's go, we have more important things. A calm voice came from the carriage, and all the knights returned to their horses, and the procession moved slowly again.
The knight's face flushed, for he had given the order to teach the imp a lesson.
"Robert, if you really feel ashamed, then experience more about the lives of the poor. The Duke of Burgundy opened his mouth to his men.
"Yes, sir. Robert bowed deeply to the carriage, and had followed the adults for several years, but he sometimes had some aristocratic arrogance, and he always had a sense of superiority in the face of commoners, just like this lesson to a child, which was his instinctive reaction. He knew that the Duke didn't like him very much, so he had been working hard to change, really trying to change.
"Get on your knees. "An old man who came running over in a hurry was reprimanding his grandson.
"But the old man is far away. The little boy said unconvinced.
"Let you kneel, you will kneel, not every lord has such a good temper, child, you have to remember that the nobles are different from us commoners, and their forgiveness of you is your great luck!"
The little boy was still a little unconvinced, but he still listened to his grandfather and knelt down.
Immediately afterwards, the little boy's grandfather also knelt down, and he and his grandson kowtowed heavily to the luxurious carriage with blue maple leaves fluttering in the distance.
"Thank you, merciful noble lord. It wasn't until the carriage disappeared around the corner of the street that the grandfather and grandson got up and left.
"Rotten system, rotten country. The Duke of Burgundy looked at the pair of grandchildren in the distance, and his eyes gradually became confused.
"The Duke of Burgundy is here!" the guards of the Duke's castle slowly opened the gates, and they welcomed the Grand Duke from a foreign country with the highest courtesy.
Her Royal Highness Juana sits firmly on the throne in a pink dress, and in the lower right corner of her is the Duke of Sintra, the owner of the ducal castle, Hebrew Bethrichen, while the seat on the left hand side of Her Royal Highness is vacant, reserved for the visiting Grand Duke of Burgundy, Charles Navarre Bourbon.
"Your Highness, you are as beautiful as the rumors. The door slowly opened, and a sturdy man walked as fast as the wind, and before Her Highness Juana could stand up, her jade hand was gently kissed by the man.
"You're not a small boss, why are you still so unserious?" said Hebrew Burlihingen, who coughed deliberately.
"Why, you're old, I'm still very young!" The middle-aged man in the purple dress was obviously very uninteresting.
"You, aren't you?" Juana's expression was very exciting, wasn't the mysterious man in front of him who saved him that night?!
"Shhhh The middle-aged man in a purple costume made a gesture of silence.
"This is a little secret between me and Your Highness, and that old fellow. ā
"Who's the old fellow!" said Hebrew Brichingen, striking his marshal's cane.
"Haha, old man, don't come unharmed. The middle-aged man in the purple dress went up to give the old duke a bear hug, which made the current atmosphere a little embarrassing.
Juana looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with interest, which seemed to be slightly different from the rumored strongest person (one of the strongest people in the Western Continent).
That's right, this seemingly old and unserious guy is the Grand Duke of Burgundy of the Reims Empire, Charles Navarre Bourbon, oh yes, although he doesn't look old, but in fact he is an old guy of the same generation as the old duke, but he has advanced to the holy level, and his vitality is much more surging than ordinary people. Of course, even if the old duke is a knight of heaven, he is still just an 'ordinary man' in the eyes of Charles Navarre Bourbon.
Juana made a gesture of please, and the eyes of the Grand Duke of Burgundy swept to Her Royal Highness, and the young man made him see a vigorous vitality.
When Charles Navarre Bourbon took his seat, the old duke, the owner of the ducal castle, waved his hand, and all the idle people retreated, and only the three of them were left in the huge hall.
"I've created an enchantment, you can rest assured. The Duke of Burgundy banged his hand on the chair.
"Looks like you're making progress again. The old duke looked directly at the man opposite, they had been dealing with each other for decades, and they were not so much friends for many years as they were 'fierce rivals' for many years.
Juana's face was expressionless, and she sat quietly on the main seat, knowing that she was not 'qualified' to interject yet.
"Are you here on behalf of the Empire, or on your own behalf?!" the old duke fell silent as soon as he spoke.
