Chapter 209: Lady Susan

Lance didn't expect that the noble lady in front of him turned out to be the wife of General Joseph. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAlthough this lady Susan is in her 40s, she still has the charm. She must have been a beauty when she was young. Lance had to sigh that General Joseph was a blessing.

Lance also returned: "I didn't expect you to come and pick us up in person, Madame Susan, and I am really flattered by such a long journey. ”

"Count Reims is gracious. Lady Susan smiled and said, "It's not Lao Yuan, Longjiao Town also belongs to the Valrotto family, and Count Longjiao is my younger brother and a vassal of Joseph, so I should go back to my mother's house." Joseph had written to him that if a ship was coming, it must be the Count of Reims, and that I had come to greet him. ”

At this time, Lance was impressed by Joseph, who seemed loyal but not bad at strategy. He actually expected Lance to go to Dragonhorn Town. And knowing that this period of time was a war, all the warships of Idiris's went south with the warships, and the warships going against the current at this time were indeed only possible for themselves. He asked his wife to greet him here early. It can be seen that he is careful.

Lady Susan saw Veronica and smiled and said, "This must be the Countess, right?"

Hearing Lady Susan call herself a countess, Veronica couldn't help but laugh happily.

Lance introduced: "Well, yes, this is my fiancΓ©e, the Knight of the Healer of the Order of the Redeemer, and the successor of the Knight of Menise, Veronica Inlinger. ”

"It turned out to be the young lady of the Ringer family. Lady Susan took Veronica's hand and said, "I held you when you were born." It was just in time for the Siege of Idris 19 years earlier. Later, you didn't become Princess Eve's sister laurel. ”

Veronica nodded shyly and said, "Yes, Grandpa often told me about you and General Joseph 19 years ago. ”

Mrs. Susan held Veronica's hand tightly, like an aunt who had not seen her niece for a long time, and said kindly, "Yes, AndrΓ© was as old as Joseph now at that time. is in the prime of life, and he is extremely brave. It is also evenly matched with the demon slayer hero Ode. By the way, Veronica, I think you were born at the same time as Odd's son. ”

Veronica nodded and said, "Yes, I heard what Grandpa said. ”

"It's also fate, I thought that you, a man and a woman, were born at the same time and would make a couple, but I didn't expect that things are wrong now. The Odds family is also miserable, but fortunately Veronica is married to a good man. ”

At this time, the maid beside Lady Susan whispered, "Madam, first invite the guests to the lord's longhouse." ”

"Yes, yes, how do I forget about business every time I chat. Lady Susan then invited Lance and them to the Lord's Longhouse in Dragonhorn.

Although Longjiao Town is already a member of the feudal system, it still retains many of the imprints of the tribal era. The nobles on the continent of Veniante either lived in manors or castles. However, Idiris, who was late to break away from the tribal system, still lived in the so-called lord's longhouse.

The longhouse was just a common house that was one size larger than the other houses in Longjiao Town, and then stood at the door with two soldiers wearing dragonhorn robes.

At this time, at the door of the longhouse, a dozen people lined up to welcome him, and Madame Susan introduced Lance: "The man in his 30s, wearing a purple robe, is my brother, Dirk Dach. The Dahe family was originally the chieftain of the Longjiao region, and later became the earls of Longjiao after allegiance to Idiris. Next to him were my younger siblings and a few children. ”

As he spoke, Dirk walked up to greet him and said, "Sister, this must be the newly divided Count of Reims." ”

Lance also dismounted and said, "Count Dirk, fortunately." ”

"Come into the house quickly, I have prepared a feast for you. ”

The longhouse is actually not large, and it is very simple, but it is full of various specimens of tiger heads, deer heads, griffin heads, etc. It seems that this Lord Earl of Dirk loves hunting.

The customs of Dragonhorn Town are also diametrically opposed to those of Idiris and Clay City. Everyone had to dance around the fire in the middle of the feast, and Lance had barely eaten a few bites when someone proposed to dance to celebrate Lance's arrival. The chicken leg in front of Lance's eyes barely moved.

Madame Susan saw Lance's embarrassment, so she smiled and said, "Everyone, stop for a moment, let Count Lance and the Countess eat something first." They also worked hard for the day. ”

Lance breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Madame Susan said, "Don't be surprised by the Count of Reims, and the people of the south like to clink glasses to congratulate, but we in the Dragon's Horn region like to dance to celebrate." The customs were different, which made the Count of Reims embarrassed. ”

"Don't be embarrassed, not embarrassed. Lance put down the chicken leg and said, "Actually, I quite like this direct and straightforward way of congratulating." I don't really like drinking. It's better to dance. If I had drunk, I would have delayed the military plane later. ”

Madame Susan said, "The Count of Reims is still a clear distinction between public and private." However, I heard that the Duke of Aceh went south to pursue the remnants of the demons, and Lord Lance made an immortal contribution to the battle of Clay City, why didn't he continue the southern expedition with the Duke of Aceh and regain the lost territory. ”

Lance said: "We are short of troops, so I asked for reinforcements from the kingdom of Hitivite, and this is how I went to receive them. ”

"No wonder you have to pass through Longjiao. Mrs. Susan nodded and said, "Is Joseph okay?"

"General Joseph is better off than I am. Madame can rest assured. ”

Lance saw that Madame Susan seemed to be stuck in her throat, and had something to say, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Lance said, "If Madame Susan has any questions, just ask, she will know everything, and Madame should not be taboo." ”

Madame Susan smiled and said, "It seems that you have seen it by the Count of Reims." I've just heard that Count Lance first rectified Duke, the old prostitute of the Fitik family, and then offered a strategy to settle refugees, and then attacked the rear of the demons, contributing to the victory in the battle of Clay City. Countless nobles have been defeated by your men. You're so smart, and with what I know about Aceh, he may not like you very much, but he will definitely use you again. Why would a general like you be sent to do something like receiving reinforcements that anyone can do?"

Lance said, "Madame, please make your intentions clear." ”

Mrs. Susan said, "I'm just worried about Joseph. I suspect that Count Reims did not take part in the war of the Southern Expedition, probably because you saw the danger of the Southern Expedition, so you advised the Duke of Aceh. But the Duke of Aceh has always liked to take advantage of the victory. Therefore you have offended the Duke of Aceh, so you can only let it go later. So I want to ask the Count of Reims, is the Southern Expedition really dangerous?

Lance suddenly realized, "It turns out that Madame is worried about this. Since Madame has asked so, then I will tell you the truth. Madame was right. That's true, and I don't expect to win the Southern Expedition. But rest assured, Madame, that I have entrusted the measures to General Joseph, and if he does what I say, there will be no danger and the army will be saved. ”

"What?" Lady Susan's face changed dramatically at this time: "You handed it over to Joseph? )
