The Billo family castle, Sandra's room, the atmosphere is unusually dignified.

"How could he have died so suddenly? What happened?" Sandra was shocked, and quickly let his brain work, Count Oduno is only 36 years old this year, and his body has always been very healthy, often hunting with his vassals, plus his knighthood, it is very easy to live to 80 years old if there is no accident, how can he die so quickly, and even they have not even received the news of serious illness.

"I don't know, nothing is written on it, just the death of Count Oduno, and the advice to return to the county of Saluzzo as soon as possible. ”

The letter in Jung's hand is very obvious, it was not from his own vassals, but from the Count of Il, and there are only a few lines written on it, and the cause of the death of the Count of Odunno is not clearly stated, and in Il's account, it seems that his uncle died as if he had died suddenly, without any warning.

"Nothing..."

Sandra obviously thought of something bad, Count Oduno couldn't have lived a good life and died so suddenly, there were only two possibilities for him to die violently, his son couldn't wait to inherit his father's inheritance and become the Count of Montferrato, although this conjecture is possible, but it is unlikely, because according to the information Sandra got at the ball, Count Oduno is still dedicated to his children, although there are countless illegitimate children, but they have not been given legal status, and they have not even given them a penny, so Oduno's son does not seem to have any reason to kill his father。

And the second possibility is Il.

Compared to the former, Sandra prefers to believe that her lord did it, after all, as soon as Oduno dies, then the vacillating nobles of Saluzzo will completely fall to the side of Il, and the new Count of Montferrato will no longer be able to recover his power in Saluzzo.

Not only that, Il, but Il could even take advantage of the new lord of Monferratto to succeed to the throne and annex Montferrato when the sovereignty was not stable, so that the territory of the Alramici family could be unified in the hands of Il.

Even, it is not impossible to create a duke title and become another duke of the Holy Roman Empire.

Oduno's death was so important to Il, Sandra had to wonder if it was Il who killed Oduno, or rather, it was Il who provoked some people to kill Oduno.

Sandra shook her head, there is too little information now, she can't judge the cause and process of this incident through the existing information, and she can't predict its outcome at all, which is extremely dangerous for a small family like Ruger.

"Stay here, my dear, the message is too far away, you must rush back to the territory now. Reach out to the nearby nobles and see what else they know you don't know. ”

Sandra hesitated slightly, and then said that Jung should leave quickly and return to the territory, where the transmission of news was too inconvenient, even in the shortest time, it would take 2 days for a letter from Saluzzo to reach the Piedmont Birlo territory, which was enough to make things unexpected.

Even if the Ruger family is involved in the Earl's War, it is very important for her family, and it is a matter of life and death, and Sandra has to propose to her husband to return to the territory alone.

"Okay, I'll go back right away. ”

Jung pondered for a long time, and felt that it was most appropriate for him to go back alone, his wife and children were far away from the strife of Piedmont, so that he could be free of his hands when facing the situation.

Jung opened the door, said to the servant standing next to him waiting for the order, asked the knight of Decker to come, and then walked back to the room, went to the bed, and gently hugged his wife, Jung looked at his wife who was already on the verge of giving birth, and felt a little sorry in his heart, he could not see the birth of the child this time.

"Sandra, my dear, if our child is a girl—" Jung said halfway, and before he could say the name, he was stopped by Sandra's outstretched palm.

"Jung, the name of the child will be told by you in your arms, not as hasty as now, I'm fine here, this is my father's territory, and where I was born, I'll be fine, don't think too much, just take care of yourself. ”

"Okay, let's wait until the baby is born. Jung smiled, he didn't understand his wife's thoughts, but as a nobleman, there were some things that could not be escaped.

"Also, if you run into Nader and them on the road, let him go back with you first, I'm more relieved that he's by your side. Sandra suddenly thought of the fact that she had asked Nader to come to Piedmont, and quickly told Jung that only Nader could suppress her husband's impulsive personality in his absence.

"Okay, I got it. Just as the voice of Knight Decker came from outside the door, Jung let go of his wife's hands and walked to the door.

"My lord, is there anything wrong?" Decker asked as he saw Jung walk out, first with his right hand on his chest, and bowed.

Isn't it supposed to be in love at this time, what are you looking for yourself?

"You go now, gather all the people in Viscount Ruger's domain, and we'll go now. ”

"Let's go now!Is something going on?" Derk was a little frightened by his lord's tone and face, and was even more confused by this order, they just arrived yesterday, and they will leave today, and Miss Anna, Young Master Andreas, and Young Master Leo have not yet returned.

"There's something big going on in Saluzo, let's talk about it on the way, you go and let everyone gather first. It's a long story, and Jung clearly didn't want to see an explanation at once.

"Yes, at your orders. Deck bowed again, turned and walked out of the castle to gather the people of the Ruger family.

Although the specific situation is unknown, as a knight of the lord, Delk must abide by his own rules of knighthood.

Seeing the knight who had already gone to carry out his orders, Jung knew that he was running out of time here, and walked to his wife's side, looking at Sandra's still beautiful face, Jung's mind clearly felt for the first time that between the war and his wife, he was actually more inclined to his wife's love.

The two of them hugged each other like this, and after saying a few words, Derk rushed back, walked into the room, and saw that his lord was parting with his wife, he was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, his embarrassment did not last long, Jung got up from the bed, looked at the knight, and said, "Are you ready?"

Decker nodded quickly, he really didn't want to be a part of the scene in front of him.

"Okay, let's go. ”

Jung took one last look at his wife, his eyes full of reluctance, but after turning his head in farewell, reluctance had already flown away with tenderness, and all that was left was an endless desire for war.

He was destined to be a warrior.

Sandra watched Jung's departing back until she walked out of the room and heard the neighing of horses outside the castle, and the tears finally flowed.

This is the case, and there are many crises.
