Chapter 181: The Besieged Capital
"Yes, Her Royal Highness has told me that she would like a daughter. At that time, the young Karl was dedicated to the Great Temple of Ulric by the Lord of the White Wolf for his oath, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was quite disappointed...... In fact, the Lord of the White Wolf has broken the heart of Her Highness the Princess too much, and he is not worthy of the love that Tyrier's most glorious jewel has for him!"
Suddenly, Old Loren's voice grew heavy, and his fist slammed uncontrollably into the wooden box that served as the wine table, the crackling of the boards and the overturned bottles.
"His Highness the Wolf Lord is too constrained by the ancient rules of Midland...... In fact, the generalissimo of the empire was not a free man! The wounds in his heart were only deeper than ours! For sixteen years he had never forgotten the noble princess, and many times I could hear Her Highness calling the princess's name while I was at his pillow......"
The beautiful lady of the court whispered in defense of the Elector of Namidland, her slender eyebrows drooping with inner trouble, her hands wrestling meaninglessly. The mighty champion warrior of Sharya now seemed to be a confused little girl, and even her voice had become choppy.
"Besides, don't you know the great battle that surrounds the sea and the harbor off Mariaburg, and how His Highness the Wolf Lord was the first to jump onto the deck of the Black Ark...... He and the champions went straight to the Dark Witch Priest in that battle, and you don't know why he did it! After that battle, he could never ride his griffon again...... Don't you know what this means to Prince Midland......"
Lisa's voice grew agitated, fiery tears flashing in her emerald eyes, her hands pressed against her chest, her heart beating violently.
"Lisa, I know the exploits of the Lord of the White Wolf, and no one will erase the exploits of the Lord of the White Wolf. The great Lord of the White Wolf will always be the legend of the Empire, but the Lord of the White Wolf has failed the heart of the Princess of the Martial God again and again! The Lord of the White Wolf has failed to live up to Her Royal Highness Hyde, the most beloved of the Princess of the Martial God, his own biological son! I am sixty-three years old, I do not have a few years to live, and I am destined to die on the battlefield, I am not willing to hide my feelings, and I will always say what I think to my comrades in arms with the Iron Hand! In fact, if it were not for His Highness Hyde, I would have died a long time ago, and there is nothing to fear from death. ”
Old Loren stood up suddenly, his voice echoing like thunder through the narrow tent. The white-haired, red-armored old knight was as angry as a beast ready to roar.
"Uncle Loren, you are serious, and if I offend you, I will make amends to you. I know that His Royal Highness the Wolf Lord is ashamed of the princess, but after all, the wolf lord was once the princess's favorite person in her life! I know that His Royal Highness the Wolf Lord is ashamed of Hyde, but the wolf lord is his biological father after all! No matter what...... I want to explain to you the heart of His Highness the Wolf Lord that I feel, because it is the rule of the iron hand not to hide or lie to my comrades. ”
Lisa also stood up, her gentle voice tinged with sadness and determination. The roaring fire shone on her black dress, casting traces of light and shadow on her beautiful face.
"His Highness Hyde's grace shook the entire Middenheim court, and his exploits made his name known to the royal court. Although His Royal Highness the Wolf Lord didn't say anything about it, the appearance of Midland's elite soldiers here already said everything. You know the strength of the Second Wing, and there are also the core guards of the palace castle and the three hundred knights of the White Wolf Temple. In fact, there are more regular cavalry who have gone north because of His Highness Hyde's achievements than there are cavalry who have followed His Royal Highness the Prince to the south, and I think this can see the heart of His Highness the Wolf Lord. ”
After a brief pause, the beautiful champion warrior of Sharya continued to pour out her voice, her gentle voice tinged with a hint of hoarseness with excitement, and the warrior's momentum involuntarily overpowered the maid's clothes.
"Lisa, let's stop arguing, there are very few old people in the Iron Hand, and even fewer people around the princess, as long as you always remember the heart of Her Royal Highness, that is enough. ”
Old Loren let out a long sigh, took off his hat, and took a step back to put an end to the heated argument. The smell of alcohol on his body was gone, and his old eyes seemed to be fogged.
"Yes, I follow your advice, my Uncle Loren. ”
Lisa bowed softly to old Loren, her movements graceful as a gust of wind. So the heated argument came to an end for the time being, and the two people sitting opposite each other picked up the wine glasses again, but the taste of the wine no longer seemed to be so sweet, but with a deep bitterness, indescribable, whirling bitterness......

The winter nights in Kislev are long, but the night always has to dissipate. The belated sun slowly rose brilliantly over the edge of the eastern skyline, casting a golden morning light on the deep blue sky, and the vast plains were covered with endless snow, glowing pure white in the reflection of the sun. The sun swept away the darkness of the night, and generously swayed the rare light and heat.
The city of Kislevgrad ushered in another morning, a precious morning, and a beautiful morning, with a light blue canopy covering the white earth, crowded wooden houses and rich buildings, red brick walls covered with bullet holes, and black arches outside the city------ relics left behind by the failure of Chaos' attacks. Give them a touch of irreversible shock. In fact, the brave Lady Kethry has thwarted the onslaught of the Chaos armies six times, guarded by the glorious walls of their ancestors and their supreme faith in the three gods.
