Chapter 108: Two Families (Part 3)

"General. A knight jumped off his horse from a distance.

The knight's badge depicts a sea eagle, and the green sea eagle --- noble and brave. This is the coat of arms of the Wright family, but this man is not Wright's family guard, and Wright has never seen him.

Years ago, when the Chanda Empire collapsed, the Wright family was on the wrong side. The Wright family, loyal to Emperor Chanda, was brutally attacked, and it was only under the protection of the Norman family that the Wright family was finally saved from destruction. But as the lord who once held a large tract of land in Suno, the Wright family's final fate may have been similar to destruction--- and the Wright family was relocated to the vicinity of the capital city of Parabun.

In the northern part of Paraven, the Wright family acquired a barren land around a swamp.

It didn't take long for the Wright family to take root in the land, but it was an incomparably slow process for a family to go from ruin to regaining its prestige. Generations of Wright have often put in more effort than others, but still have not been rewarded as they deserve. As time went on, the Wright family went from bad to worse. A few generations later, the once powerful family has been reduced to a small lord in a place--- and when there is a dispute between the townspeople, the Wright family can send a representative to attend the arbitration and receive some gifts such as agricultural products.

This right was often a good means for the lord to enrich himself, but the Wright family regarded it as a disgrace, an unforgivable disgrace for the pure nobility. Time hastened the decline of the family to Sloin. In Wright's father's generation, the family had decayed to the extreme. And Sloin. The untimely death of Wright's father undoubtedly made the family's situation worse.

At this time, Lay feels the pressure on his shoulders not only from his own life, but also from the expectations of his ancestors. Every time Wright closed his eyes, he could hear the call of his ancestors: the brightly armored and laurel-wearing ancestors watched Wright silently like the gods on marble.

Wright knew early on that he was going to restore the family.

For this, Wright had to find something to rely on. The aristocracy gave Wright hope, something that could be gained with inexhaustible power by virtue of honor and bloodline. For Wright, this is familiar territory: he has probably the oldest bloodline on the continent, and he has the courage to defend his honor. After the setbacks of his early years, Wright understands how to use his courage, which leaves Wright with only one chance to lead his family to a bright future.

Fort Lundia, Fort of Death.

For countless Swadian soldiers, servants, and craftsmen, Lundia Fort is a place full of sad memories. But for Wright, Fort Lundia is a desperate place for the Wright family.

Wright remembers looking back at Fort Lundia as he struggled out of the cellar in the night, and that feeling was nothing more than a question to God: "Why don't you revive my family when I've done so much?"

Soon, the fate of the Wright family began to change.

When Wright sat on the wooden steps and looked at the garden, he would not have thought that many maids in the distance were shyly reading his name;

When Wright received the envoys, he did not think of the crown prince and the officials making a final assessment of the power he contained;

As Wright was dressed up to the cheers of the crowd and surrounded by soldiers, he was just beginning to realize that the glory days of his family were coming.

The Ancient Souls looked at Wright, and the Wright family finally got the glory they deserved.

Wright was bathed in light.

Morale rises everywhere he goes on the battlefield, banquets are set according to his schedule, and the lords compete to show Wright their daughters.

Eventually, Wright rejected Sir Harlaus's niece in favor of a relative of Prince Frederick.

For these two women, from a utilitarian point of view, Wright knew that Prince Fiderick was the future emperor, so becoming a distant relative of Frederick represented the Wright family's reconnection with the royal family;

On the other hand, it is said that Fidel's distant niece is a wild girl who likes to disguise herself as a man and then take her servants around to defraud merchants or fool foreign officials.

By any measure, Wright had made a good choice--- if it weren't for Harlaus's eventual failure to submit to fate's arrangement.

The only sigh for Wright's wedding is that Harlaus's niece--- the woman named Rose, may be the most beautiful young lady among the nobles. But even so, no one was willing to propose to Rose.

Rose's grandfather died from an arrow carved with a sunflower, and he was known as General Tiha.

With the death of Rose's grandfather, Rose's family quickly declined. Rose's father was the youngest son of General Tiha, who was even younger than his brother's children--- and fled back to Parabon alone.

Rose's frail father became the last heir of the family, and the kind man had almost nothing in common with Rose, and if the two of them were to be replaced, they would be more like a pair of common-sense father and daughter.

Rose's father once told Rose how her family had been hung from a tree by the Nord barbarians, and the fear of death had gripped Rose's father's life. When Rose was seven years old, Rose's father jumped from a lighthouse on the pier in Paraven. Rose hugged his father's shattered head, red blood staining her white clothes.

From that day on, Rose's childhood was over.

After the decline of Rose's family, Haraus didn't care much about this niece anymore. Rose's personality made her disgusted by the dignified royal family, and even among ordinary nobles, Rose was only known for her beauty and love.

Perhaps the most excesses Rose did was when she took her servants to Nord to pay homage to General Tiha. In the midst of all the dangers, Rose managed to place a bouquet of lilies in front of the stone statue of the goddess that General Tiha had built--- which General Tiha had the craftsmen carve in imitation of his wife.

On the way south, Rose has a whim in an attempt to deceive a greedy foreman. But in the end, Rose was completely defeated by a young man with a disabled leg and lost face. If it weren't for the veil, the young man would have seen Rose crying, and the moonlight was bright that night, and Rose looked at the watery young man again in the carriage, and then ran away with his accomplices.

For a long time, Rose would occasionally think of the young man. In fact, there is nothing special about that young man, but Rose always unconsciously feels that young man is very different.

"He must have some kind of story to tell."

The era of girly fools soon came to an end.

When General Wright was in the limelight, Harlaus suddenly remembered that he had such a niece, so Harlaus ordered his men to recruit Rose. When Rose heard that she was going to be betrothed to a young man named Wright, she didn't say anything against it, and she didn't even care. Those who know her well may notice that after returning from the North Sea, Rose has changed, becoming somewhat calm and gentle. However, Rose's changes were not enough to earn her reputation, and she was ultimately not favored by Wright--- who soon learned that Wright was going to marry, the daughter of a nobleman that Prince Frederick was looking for.

Once again, Rose became a laughing stock, leaving Harlaus in a gloomy face. Haraus didn't know how to speak when he saw Rose. Rose's face was expressionless as she untied the girdle she had been trying to endure all these days. She tossed the roll aside and said to Harauth, "Rose still doesn't want anyone." Then she left Parabun and went on to live a wandering life.

Recently, Harauth found Rose and said to her, "Honey, you're so old. What I owe you, I'm going to pay you back soon. ”

Rose's face was calm: "Oh? What is it. ”

Haraus smiled, "I'm going to give you a wedding." ”

A hint of turmoil appeared on Rose's face, "You don't think I'm going to promise you like that, do you?" ”

"Of course, of course," Harauth gently straightened the crown on his head, and on it was a circle of jewels, one of which was a little dim, and these gems seemed to be quietly listening to the conversation between Haraus and Rose, "but what if you marry him?" ”

Harauth softly gave Rose a name.

Surprise finally appeared on Rose's calm face, a face that had been perfected many years ago and had become more attractive over the years.

Rose smiled, "Sounds weird." ”

Haraus sighed, "Isn't it?" ”

South Suno.

Wright looked at the knights and lifted his mask.

"Are you General Wright?" The knight looked at the soldiers around Wright and asked the question without humility or arrogance.

The soldiers around here are all cavalry that Wright has brought with him all the way from Frost Castle, these people have betrayed the Vecchians because of Wright, and they are happy to take another risk with Wright if they need to.

What about Uhru? He may have died in a forest south of Alberon, where he would be surrounded by six times his number of soldiers.

As for the Salander Mamluks, they were tough to deal with, but they were the most elite Imperial cavalry waiting for them.

Wright suddenly felt a shiver that had been with Wright for more than a year. Wright's face has always been pale, but it has never been the same as it is today.

"I," Wright's voice was hoarse, "Sloin. Wright, the viscount of the royal family, the general of the Empire, I am here to await my guests. ”

The knight looked left and right at the soldiers around him, and these easterners looked like elite people who could fight. And Wright is a hero that every emperor is familiar with, and for this knight, this may be the most legendary moment he has ever seen in his life.

He snatched a backpack from his saddle and pulled out dozens of battle flags with lions embroidered on them, the one without flames--- the lion of the emperor of Paravon.

"Change the flag, General," the knight knelt down on one knee, "the Emperor welcomes you back." ”
