Bran thought about it alone for a while, and decided to meet Gana, who was in the same valley.

As the elder sister of the valley lord, in the mountain castle, there is a quiet room, which belongs to her place.

Bran asked Berkman and, knowing that the two were in the same hill fort, he set out to meet them.

Gana was looking forward to Bran again. But she understands that Bran is definitely not here to marry herself.

But despite this, her heart was still happy.

The first time I speak, there is a relationship between a man and a woman, and this is the second conversation.

The two looked at each other, Gana was very generous and enthusiastic, even close to Bran, "Can I touch your face again I know you're leaving, you come to see me again, I'm really happy, yesterday will be a dream in my heart." ”

When Gana stretched out her right hand to touch Bran, Bran took her right hand and said, "Do you like that mountain master?"

"Nobles don't talk about liking, family first." Gana reached out her left hand and touched Bran's chest, feeling his temperature.

"Four months, if you have my blood, I will take care of you for the rest of your life."

"What did you say?" Gana thought she had misheard, "Are you going to marry me?"

"No, but the dragon slayer bloodline doesn't become a mountain dweller. I will leave three mercenary guards behind, all loyal to me, at your disposal and to protect you. ”

"Is this surveillance?"

"You can also say that if you are with other men, then they will leave you and come back to me and report back to me. If not, after a few months, your belly is bulging, then you have to be my lover. ”

Gana thought this was outrageous. But Bran didn't give her a chance to refute either.

"If you say that the interests of the family are paramount, then Berkman will agree to my offer as a trading partner. I'm going to make him have to agree, and I think you have a certain affection for me, so you'll come to see me that day. ”

Bran really left the three of them behind, and explained that if any man was alone with Gana, then even if he had blood, it had nothing to do with him.

As for Gana's marriage contract, Bran was irrational for a while, secretly offering Berkman a special purchase price, and was willing to help him propose to the Acting Father that he should be granted the claim of domination over the "Alps".

Bran deceived Berkman once as a member of the Knights and as a personal guard of the Father.

It was to the effect that I had a good conversation with the cardinals of Rome......

Berkman was skeptical, but at least he knew about Bran's influence in Florence, so he agreed to Bran's proposal not to let his eldest sister Gana marry first.

After everything was done, Bran took Duren out of the valley.

Durham was reborn, so he answered all the greetings to Bran on the way, and even told Bran a secret story, or "dragon smell". (See Chapter 7)

Bran had heard of this in the church in 1290, 26 years ago.

Bran asks Durren, has there ever been a knight in the North who pretended to be a dragon and snatched the princess?

Being able to transform into a human form is a white dragon, which is the same as the white dragon feather cloak on his body, and Bran is very interested.

"Your Excellency, you have helped me, and I am willing to tell you this secret, but I hope to get the people around me to leave and not spread the word."

"Stop and rest, everyone is a hundred meters away from me."

Bran shouted, and the group found a stop on the outside of the forest.

"Now only snakes, insects, rats and ants can hear, you name it."

Duren slowly spat out the secret......

"My uncle, who was one of Scotland's royal bodyguards, was involved in this. At that time, there was a princess in Scotland named Qiel, and my father was the princess of protection.

Princess Kiel was promised to Thoslo, the eldest brother of William the Conqueror, and one day she met a badly wounded white dragon and fell in love with him. ”

Duren glanced at Bran and saw that he was not surprised, and continued.

The white dragon still had different scales on it, but the affair still happened, and the princess informed Sothro about it. My uncle reported that after my father's death, he took care of our family. ”

Thorthro was a true knight and was willing to give up the marriage, but William did not want his brother to take advantage of the marriage to Scotland and in turn make their family the masters of England and even the north again, so he rebelled and killed his brother to the White Dragon and Qiel, and my uncle was bribed and killed among them.

They took advantage of Sothro's farewell to the princess and the white dragon, poisoned the food, and then launched a killing.

William promised a good pay, and thirty-six samurai took action, all but my uncle were killed in battle.

My uncle still had a breath left, and the place where he had fallen was close to the princess and the white dragon, and he heard the princess and Sothro shouting at William no, but the sound soon stopped, leaving William's laughter echoing.

My uncle, who was afraid to return to the palace with a sigh of delay, knew that William would kill him, and he wandered all the way back to England, and died shortly after informing me of this.

Then the seventeen-year-old William married the queen, who was twenty years his senior, and became the male ruler of Scotland...... He also gave birth to an heir to the queen, and now he has launched a war for the unification of the northern border......"

Ruthless, for the sake of the throne, even his own brother can be killed, and Bran wants to meet this king.

"The enmity of relatives is there, so you support England?"

"Yes, and intellectually, I don't think William can dominate Mishima either, and he ceded a quarter of the northern territory in order to win the support of those Viking warriors. I heard that he also made a deal with Frank and handed over the sea power, and if he succeeded, the north would be even more torn, and he was not the real king. ”

"The true king?"

"Yes, have you heard the ballad of the North?"

"That one?"

"The sword appears from the lake, he is the prince of prophecy, and his song ......"

"I've heard that when the sword in the lake, one of the five swords, reappeared, a prince held this sword and restored the glory of Arthur's time."

"Since the year before, William has been calling himself this one, and has declared that he is the prince."

"And is he recognized?"

"That's not it, in the north, for many years there have always been lords who have called themselves so, and His Majesty Edward has called himself this after the Second Crusade......"

……

After about five days of walking, Bran's convoy met his grandfather again.

Both sides are not walking fast, and after the rendezvous, continue on their way.

As can be seen from the German text on the adjacent pass, it has entered the Swabian border.

Bran had the documents of the Order in his hand, and after handing them over at the gate, the sentry officer was not embarrassed to check them, and quickly let them go.

Bran's purpose was East Swabia, which was very close to Bavaria and where the castle of the Knights was located.

It is said to be a castle, but in fact it is more like a cottage, dilapidated.

The information in the account books is also inaccurate, and if Bran really wants to recover the taxes, he is basically dreaming.

The castle of the princess is close to the capital of Middle Swabia, and if you want to go to East Swabia, you will pass through first, and Bran will stay directly in Central Swabia, and send his subordinates to collect taxes, and if you can't collect it, you can post it yourself, as long as you can negotiate a marriage with the royal family.
