Just as Yu Chen and Juana were practicing swords, Daisy received a letter, and that letter came from the family, and the seal on its fire paint represented the most powerful will of the entire Western Big 6. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Knock, knock, knock. The maid knocked softly on the door.

"Miss, your lunch. The maid of the Duke's castle pushed the door open after asking Daisy's permission, and quietly stepped back after arranging the delicate ingredients, and there was no fault in the whole process. And the old duke's castle also gave Daisy this feeling, although it was not luxurious, and it was far from even enough compared to her own family, but here Daisy saw everything she wanted to see, and here there was all that an ancient noble family had.

Daisy didn't fiddle with the knife and fork in front of the exquisite ingredients on the table, and her eyes never left the letter that she had just opened.

――――

The dust of the knights could be seen in the distance at the top of the city, and the neat procession undoubtedly told people that this was an elite army, and that Belinda Berlisingen, the red rose, had entered the city with a handful of relatives, and that she felt that she needed to return, and that her father needed her to come back now.

In the castle hall, the old duke is simulating on the sand table, and it can be seen from his expression that the simulation results are not satisfactory.

"Here, send a squadron. "As soon as the old duke's order was issued, there were soldiers who put up their military cards.

"Here, and here. The old duke's voice was calm and powerful, with every movement of his fingertips, the generals around him would show thoughtful expressions, whether it was seniority or ability, no one present could compare to the old duke, so absolute obedience has long been the instinct of the northern generals, and this instinct has been proven to be absolutely correct in countless battles.

"Here!, two brigades!" the old duke skillfully gave instructions, but his head never lifted, which was a habit that the old duke had cultivated over the years, and few people dared to disobey the orders he had personally given. It's not that the old duke is domineering, but his long-term delicate grasp of the battlefield has made his subordinates completely trust him, and over time, the original military meeting has become the old duke's 'one word hall'. But this time, the badge did not fall to the place indicated by the old duke, but turned it one hundred and eighty degrees and placed it in a very inconspicuous position, and it was such a position that made the old duke's eyes suddenly brighten.

"Good!" said the old duke, and when he looked up to see which general's 'masterpiece' it was, he realized that it was not his own daughter.

In fact, Red Rose had been in for a while, and she had been watching her father's formation, a habit she had developed over the years.

"Father, I'm back. A gentle hug, a gentle kiss on her father's cheek, Belinda, who was half Lance blood, treated her father as enthusiastically as ever, even when he was in armor. The soldiers in the castle had already seen the surprise, and some of the generals present had unnatural eyes drifting away. IT IS NO WONDER THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE KINGDOM WITH MORE CONSERVATIVE FOLK CUSTOMS HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY ACCEPTING THE OVERZEALOUS CUSTOMS OF LANCE WOMEN, AND MOST OF THE KINGDOM PEOPLE EVEN THINK THAT THE LANCE PEOPLE ARE TOO 'DANG'. BUT NONE OF THE PEOPLE PRESENT WILL THINK THAT BELINDA'S BEHAVIOR IS TOO 'DANG', WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER RED ROSE IS THE DUKE'S DAUGHTER OR NOT, AS A WOMAN, IT IS ALREADY VERY TELLING THAT SHE CAN BE IN SUCH A HIGH POSITION, AND IN THE EYES OF THE NORTHERN GENERALS, BELINDA IS A REAL ADMIRATION, AND THE PHRASE TIGER FATHER WITHOUT DOG GIRL IS SUITABLE FOR THE OLD DUKE'S DAUGHTER.

The appearance of the old duke's daughter made the military meeting that had been somewhat silent interesting, and the people who could mobilize the atmosphere on the sand table in the entire Northern Army could only be counted on one hand. The generals present were naturally divided into two teams, one team playing the role of the duke's northern army, and the other team playing the role of the kingdom army led by Red Rose. It can be said that the battle is very fierce, the two sides have back and forth, in general, the old duke's tactics are excellent, but there are too few hole cards in his hand, and he has been at an overall disadvantage in terms of strategy, if nothing else, as long as Belinda is given some more time, this game can win his father.

The battle on the sand table lasted for a long time, and the four-hour confrontation ended in a draw, although Belinda once had a great advantage, but the rhythm of the battle was always controlled by her father, she did not dare to split the forces, and the step-by-step style of play was finally a protracted battle, and the tenacity of Sintra, the first fortress in the north, can be imagined, and Belinda was forced to finally stop under the old duke's treacherous fighting style.

"Father, I still can't win against you. Belinda wiped the sweat from her forehead, although this is just a game of wargames, the situation on the real battlefield is much more complicated than this, but this is still very draining, although the old duke's face is light, but his heart is now unable to do Gu Jing Wubo.

"Go down, old man, and I'm going to rest!" said the old duke, like a kind rich man, while his men were meticulous, saluting in unison and then leaving in a neat procession.

After everyone left, only father and daughter were left in the halls of the Duke's castle.

"Daughter, you've grown up. The old duke spoke slowly, his voice slightly tinged with a hint of melancholy, in fact, he still had a sentence in his mouth. The daughter in front of him has not only grown up, but her heart has already gone elsewhere.

"Father, I am still inferior to you, I cannot defeat you. Belinda had prepared a lot of words, but when she saw her father's slightly rickety body, she forcibly swallowed all her preparations.

His father is a knight of heaven, he shouldn't be so old. But in front of Belinda, her father in her eyes seemed to be dozens of years old, and it should never be the father in her impression. Suddenly, Belinda understood that her father had guessed everything, and that the reason why he was so old was all because of herself.

"Do you like him?" the old duke didn't talk about why Belinda transferred troops privately, nor did he ask Belinda what kind of force she belonged to, his question was so 'unexpected'. This kind of childlike thing, no matter how you look at it, doesn't seem to come out of the mouth of the old duke who has been Rong Ma all his life, but it is precisely at this point in time that it feels even more strange.

What's even more strange is that the old duke's question shocked Belinda, she never thought that her father's question was so direct. In fact, there is nothing strange about it, the old duke is just this one daughter, although it is not doting, but it can definitely be regarded as spoiled, even if it is a small thing such as whose ball the daughter has been to, the old duke still remembers it clearly.

Belinda didn't answer, she didn't know how to answer, she wanted to say a lot to her father, but the words seemed so pale and weak when they came to her mouth.

"Father, go back, it's still too late. "I had a lot to say to my father, but what I finally said looked like a political game.

"That's enough!" Hebrew Brechingen broke the wine glass on the table, as the most loyal soldier in the kingdom, he was still angrier than he had imagined when he heard his daughter's words.

The old duke stroked his forehead with his hand, his daughter's words were like a knife in his chest, how could his daughter, who had worked so hard to raise her, be so decisive!

Belinda's heart was bleeding from her father's appearance, but she knew she had her own choice, and all she could do was try to keep her father on her side.

"His Royal Highness Aldrich is a man worthy of assistance, and he will definitely not be held accountable for his father's current behavior. Belinda's voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

'Is this stupid girl, can someone like Aldrich be trusted?' The old duke wanted to tell his daughter so loudly, but he still didn't say it, because he was too young, and the old duke knew that if he really said that, he was afraid that it would backfire.

A woman in love will become stupid, and this sentence is not an exaggeration even if it is applied to the red rose, which can be regarded as a heroine among women.

"Kid, a man's promise doesn't always come true, Aldrich may just be taking advantage of you, you know he has a lot of women out there. The old duke's words can be described as serious, and he has considered every word for a long time, for fear that his daughter will make the wrong choice.

"Father!" Red Rose's tone became quick.

"His Royal Highness Aldrich is really good to me, and he is the person the kingdom needs! It is impossible to protect the kingdom with Juana's weak nature!" Belinda's every word is a sincere expression, when she mentions Juana, she is disdainful from the bottom of her heart, that weak prince, no, it should be a weak princess now, but what difference does it make? Her Royal Highness Juana is a flower in a greenhouse in the eyes of the red rose, and she thinks in her heart that Juana is not qualified to be a king at all!

"His Royal Highness Aldrich has had many women, but he was young, does my father dare to say that he didn't have a few romantic affairs when he was young?"

"He's really good to me. The last sentence was as small as the buzzing of mosquitoes, no matter how many women there were in His Highness Aldrich, she could not care, Belinda only knew that she loved him.

The old duke almost lost his heart at his daughter's words, and Hebrew Berlisingen felt that his daughter was no longer his own.

Belinda's last sentence was so light, but in the old duke's heart, he already understood that his stupid daughter had fallen hopelessly in love with that hateful man.

"Father, turn back, as long as we—" Belinda was already in tears, and she knew very well that she had made a choice, between her father, who raised him, and the man she loved.

"Get out, get out, I don't have your daughter!" the old duke said very fiercely, and in his impression it was the first time that his daughter had cried in front of him, and yes, it was the first time that Red Rose, known for her strength, had shed tears in front of her father. (Of course, newborn babies don't count, oh, the author maliciously sells cuteness, come and kill him.) ）

At that moment, the old duke's reason seemed to be drained, and an indescribable emotion hit his heart, in local slang, like the cabbage planted by the farmer's uncle himself was arched by a big black wild boar...... Something seems wrong, but don't worry about the details.

The old duke locked himself in his room, and at this moment he seemed to feel that his world had collapsed, and the iron-clad tough guy didn't expect to have such a vulnerable side.

"Knock, knock, knock. At this very unfortunate moment, the old duke heard a knock at the door.

"May I come in?" Juana tapped gently, treating the old duke with obvious respect from the bottom of her heart.

The old duke wiped the moist corners of his eyes without missing a trace, and it only took him a short time to reorganize his mood, at least when facing His Royal Highness Juana, he could not miss a trace.

The door was slowly opened by the Duke, and on the other side of the door he saw a 'real' heir.
