Liam looked at William carefully, his eyes scrutinizing, and he didn't speak.

William was a little hairy by Liam's eyes, why did he suddenly look at himself with such strange eyes, did he say something wrong just now?

"What's so nice on my face, am I the legendary Adonis."

William relieved the strange atmosphere at this time and said half-jokingly.

Adonis is a beautiful man in Greek mythology, so handsome and handsome that the goddess of love Aphrodite (Venus) and the queen of the underworld Persephone have fallen in love with him, the two goddesses in order to compete for Adonis, the handsome and beautiful man, each other did not give in, once quarreled in front of Zeus.

Eventually, Zeus decreed that Adonis should live with the two goddesses for four months each year, with the remaining four months to be arranged by himself.

Although William the little blacksmith is not too bad-looking, he cannot compare with the handsome appearance of the princes, the protagonists of the fairy tale, saying that he is Adonis, William wants to ease the atmosphere at this time.

What a person looks like is really not up to him.

"I didn't look at your face, but at your head." Liam replied.

"I don't have any flowers on my head, so what's there to look at."

William was puzzled, if he was stared at by a beautiful woman like this, he would only be ashamed, but if the object was converted into a tall and mighty muscular man of 1.9 meters, William would feel a little creepy.

Scary, scary, scary.

"The gold coin of destiny on your head is turning, and the favor of fate continues." Liam said with a frown.

"Really?" William raised his head and looked up at him, but he never saw any trace of the Destiny Gold, he knew that the power of the Destiny Gold seemed to maintain the trajectory of Destiny, so it helped him a lot.

"Your words are very reasonable, but if they make sense, they may not be correct, and they may not be beneficial to me, so it's good to let you join in, have a competition, and find out information for me, but it also means that you have changed from my servant to my competitor, and you want to take my wife with me."

Liam shook his head and said, "You know what? When I accept you as my servant, it means that our master-servant title has been established, and you cannot betray me, and I must respond to your loyalty with loyalty. ”

William's heart sank and he said, "What are you suspicious of?" Your Highness, Liam, you are doubting that I will rebel and question my loyalty. ”

Although the identity of the master and servant of the two is determined, both Liam and William made a contract in good faith, which is an exchange, just like the knight provides military service for his monarch, and the monarch must protect his knight's territory and protect the interests of the knight, which is the relationship between the monarch and the minister in this era.

William may not have a high level of loyalty to Liam, but loyalty is only an act, a code of business ethics that the entire knightly class pursues.

The English knights never wanted money to fight for the king, and they brought their own weapons and dry food, and if the king asked the knights to pay their salaries, the knights not only disagreed, but also thought it was an insult to their knightly glory.

In fact, the knights and nobles did not want money but land at all, and if they fought for the king, they could get at least half of the territory, and once the king infringed on the interests of the nobles at will, then the nobles would be justified in rebellion.

The kingdom of the Middle Ages was a system of lords and vassals, and the king was only the lord at the highest level of the private allegiance system, not the supreme ruler of the power system. The king is only the first person among the nobles, and the state belongs not only to the king, but also to all the feudal nobles, and everyone owns shares, and even the nobles have more shares than the king.

This was true of the relationship between the king and the nobles, and the same was true of Liam's relationship with William.

"Miss Lily, you are not my wife yet, both you and I can participate in the jousting tournament, as long as you become the final victor, you can marry Miss Lily, I am your monarch, so I give an order that you are not allowed to participate in the jousting tournament, you cannot compete with me. If you weren't my valet, you could have taken me down and taken Miss Lily against my orders, but because you're my valet, you can't disobey orders. I decree that you shall not be allowed to participate in the tournament. ”

Liam explained that the words were realistic, but in his words he was full of sincerity, that the king's name was decided, and that many times both parties had to obey the relationship.

For example, Knight Lane, if he is not a vassal of Baron Andag, then Knight Lane as an imperial knight canonized by the emperor, his identity is actually equal to that of the baron, and even a dispute between the two, Knight Ryan directly led the troops to kill Baron Andag, and no one can say anything more if he took away the baron's territory, but Knight Lane is a vassal of the baron, and he made the above behavior, which is an out-and-out rebellion.

The birth of a new king is often the fall of an old king.

As the "goddess of kingship", Eliu is always instinctively in favor of the younger and more powerful king, the king of Ireland is her mortal husband, as an immortal, when her mortal husband is old and decrepit, from wise to mediocre, no longer suitable to be a king, the goddess Eliu will abandon her original husband, will choose a youthful and energetic, wise and wise young partner, make him king, so that Ireland will regain prosperity and stability.

Eliu's goddess nature is like this, and whether Miss Lily, as her adopted daughter, will have such habits to a greater or lesser extent, Liam can't guarantee.

Thinking of this, Liam simply ordered William not to participate in the tournament, William was in a state of fate, although Liam boasted that he was also a man of good luck, but he did not dare to take risks in the tournament.

The choice of the goddess Eliu in history is not without a turnover, she incarnates a mortal woman, who has become the object of competition between the old king and the new king, she favors the new king, gives the new king the legitimacy of royal power, and overthrows the old king.

However, sometimes, the new king that Eliu likes cannot become the real king, because the identity of the "new king" is the knight of the old king, even if he falls in love with the king's woman, the honor of the knight requires him to be loyal to his monarch, and in the end, the hero of the story can only be miserable.

"Do you think I'm going to be tempted by someone you like?"

William frowned, feeling incredulous, "You are far stronger than me, why do you have so little faith in me, and in you." ”

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Liam took out a gold coin from his pocket and said slowly, "I will throw this gold coin into the sky later, this is also a gold coin of fate, it will not decide the fate of you and me at this time, but it will weigh the fate of you and me on the same golden scale, and finally come to the prophecy of who will have a better chance of winning the tournament and who will be able to marry Miss Lily." ”

The Gold Coin of Destiny was tossed lightly by Liam and tossed into the sky, emitting a golden glow.

The gold coin of fate was turning, emitting a golden light and turning, and a golden balance phantom suddenly appeared between William and Liam, and the gold coin fell in the middle, like a seesaw, and the gold coin of fate landed on the tray where William was.

The Gold of Destiny made a prediction of the future based on the fate of the two, and William was more likely to win the tournament and win Princess Lily's favor than Liam.

William opened his mouth, not knowing what he should say, and wanted to apologize, but he didn't do anything wrong at all, Liam said with a dark face, "Sure enough, now you have to fight against the evil dragon, so you are deeply favored by fate, and it is the best for me not to let you participate in the martial arts competition, and sure enough, I am the protagonist of the story." ”

William was speechless for a while, am I a trick that was robbed of the opportunity by the "protagonist"?

Prince Liam must be the protagonist of the fairy tale world.

William thought to himself, and didn't mean to object, just watched Liam turn away, a chill ran down his back, and a familiar feeling came over him inexplicably.

It seems that when the brave Francis said that he could slay a dragon and go to heaven, he felt the same way that Liam said that he was sure to win.
