Kunsang's whole body was covered in blood, and in the vast sea of people, he looked at Orlan at first glance and walked over, his eyes getting closer and closer, but he had lost the breath of a beast, and only the loyalty of a sheep remained.

Oran is the only person in the world who understands and has great kindness to him.

Therefore, Kunsang was unscrupulous, but he also disregarded his life and honor and disgrace, and was loyal to Oran.

Mia, who was shaken awake, saw Kunsang coming and fainted again......

"I won, and no one can insult the arrogant White Eagle!"

Kunsang is like a child, after completing the task, he looks at the elders expectantly for praise.

Malmu also woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she shivered at the sight of Kunsang approaching, but Kunsang nodded and saluted her.

This is the wife of the Orlan, her own mistress, not the lover maid of the castle, who will be absolutely respected and loyal.

"In the future, in front of me, anyone who dares to insult you, Madame, will let him be taught a lesson."

Kunsang saluted, and countless eyes also looked at Oran.

The buzzing in Oran's ears was full of the questioning voices of nobles and clergy.

"If you are not convinced, then go to war!"

Orlan wanted to blurt out this sentence, but looked at the perimeter of the square, twice as many as his own defenders.

Young people, don't be too arrogant, otherwise the "white eagle wings" will be broken......

"Sneak attack on Karl Knight, avenge Karl Knight, do it!" William fished in mixed waters and scolded Orlan.

"Huh?" Nanding, who had just cut out the blood mark of the cross, held his sword and aimed it at William.

The "Blood Cross" was still very intimidating, and William changed his words, "Take Kunsang down!"

"Sals", who was a secret strategist, secretly came behind Ella at this time and said loudly, "Your Majesty ......"

The scene is about to erupt!

Oran kept thinking in his mind that if he could do it all over again, his peace-loving self would definitely say, "A small victory is enough."

The anger was about to detonate, Oran walked out and began his performance, the commoners had no right to speak, Oran spoke directly to the nobles,

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the shouting began, His Excellency the Bishop, who is the referee, shouted to stop?"

The scene fell silent, and he continued,

"Not really! This is the knight Karl, who has already gone to heaven, stopping himself and taking the initiative to remove his helmet. No one is forced during the whole process, the competition is like a battlefield fight, and the Vikings will let you pick it up first because your sword has fallen? Karl Knight has put himself in danger, he deserves to lose!"

"You're being unreasonable, Oran Vijay!" William is angry and doesn't need to be honorific.

"The Vikings are reasoning with you? When they are about to lose, they will say 'Valhalla' and pretend to be heroic and righteous while attacking you when you are not prepared. ”

Oran winked as he spoke, letting Nanding follow him.

With the Blood Cross warriors at his side, no one dared to actually rush up and swing his sword at Orlan.

Oran walked up to the Archbishop of Kent, who was the presiding judge, and whispered, "Your Excellency, God loves the world, and please do not give up on the lost Lamb, let us feel the kindness of our Heavenly Father and your mercy."

Your priest may come to County Durham at any time in the future, and I will make every effort to entertain you.

I will fill the territory with the gospel of the Lord, and you can send a priest to preach the gospel right away. ”

The Holy See is located on the Italian peninsula, and it is difficult for the Holy See to effectively govern the bishoprics that are too far away

Therefore, with the exception of some historical bishops, such as "Archbishop of England", which is canonized by the Holy See, the archbishops of other kingdoms in Britain must be supported by their local secular lords.

At present, among the archbishops of the seven countries, Archbishop Mercia is also the archbishop of England, and his status is the highest.

But he was already in his eighties, and for the Archbishop of Kent, if he could not go to Rome to become a "cardinal", it would be a good idea to become an Archbishop of England.

The Archbishop of England needs recognition from the Holy See, which means that a large "papal contribution" is needed to win the support of the Roman side.

This is also the reason why many clergy who want to be motivated, after running secular industries, use merchants more frantically to lend.

The little priest wants to be an abbot, a bishop of the county,

The bishop of the county wants to become a bishop of the region, a bishop of the kingdom,

The bishop of the kingdom wants to put on the red robe - to become a cardinal,

And even go one step further and become the incarnation of God on earth - the Pope.

The Holy See is regarded by the clergy as the "kingdom of God on earth", so one of the four ways in which the Pope is written is "Your Majesty".

This is one of the exclusive titles given to the Pope by the Roman clergy.

The Archbishop of Kent also wants to go to a higher position, better listen to the voice of God, and even be called Your Majesty!

Therefore, he went to Northumbria this time to expand his relationship with the monarchs of various places so that he could better raise funds in the future.

As Oran whispered to the archbishop, Sals's voice entered Ella's ears.

"Your Majesty, Knight Karl instigated the joust first, and according to the rules, he lost everything - including his life.

As a knight, he took the initiative to break the covenant, if he wins? Do you really want to give him a reward for His Highness Malm?

He gave you a problem, and now that he is dead, it is a solution. ”

"Then let them go like this, and kill three royal knights in a row?" The military governor, Gure, also leaned over and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"There is no precedent for this kind of contest, it is just a farce, and the last one is regarded as a private fight, as long as Your Excellency Oran shows his attitude and punishes Kunsang, so that your prestige is not affected.

Also, they proposed earlier that if you bet everything, although Lord Orlan wins, it doesn't mean that the knight's fiefdom manor can be sent, if this precedent is set, then the next time one of your border knights fights with the knights of Mercia and loses the territory with the sword, won't it make our border line retreat?

Therefore, the knights of Karl who broke the covenant of the sovereign had to take back their realms - to be placed under the direct jurisdiction of the king, and all the knights who participated in the competition, as long as they died, were sentenced in the same way.

As for the Knight Cobain who won, it depends on his victory and glory, and there will be no reward or punishment. ”

This proposal is very pragmatic.

As Sals spoke, he observed Ella's reaction, and when he sensed that Ella wanted to say something, he continued to persuade, "Since the warriors of the White Eagle Leader are so ferocious, then turning them into spears and swords, and you will hold them against the southern rebels and the Vikings, will be of the greatest help to us." ”

When convincing a person, only talk about the good and hide the bad (Oran is difficult to control).

And don't give the other party a chance to think, so that they can make a decision that they regret in a short time.

Gulie, William and others are all against it, but in other words, it is just the reason that Orlan is too rampant, and in fact, Sals's words are more reasonable, can Carl win the battle and marry his eldest daughter?

Carl only had a fiefdom manor with less than 100 people, and his family was weak and nameless.

The Vijay family, on the other hand, was the hands of Ella's great-grandfather at the hands of the king a hundred years ago, and the county of Durham and Jeree.

"Your Majesty, when I return to Wales, I will advise the Archbishop to finance your fight against the former king, and offer to come north to deal with everything, and then I will go to the border of Durham for you to monitor Your Excellency Oran, and repay you for your kindness to me."

After approaching William to get close to Ella, Sals faked a false story that he had been rescued by Ella in a town that had been sacked by the Vikings a few years earlier when he was traveling as a knight's apprentice.

Before becoming king, Ella was also a brave warrior, often leading people to expel small groups of Viking thieves from the periphery of the kingdom, as well as supporting nobles from other regions.

Therefore, it is difficult to carefully examine Sals's words, and think that he is really kind to him, and this boy admires and comes to repay the favor.

At Ella's court, Sals was a loyal and brave knight, and even offered to deprive the clergy of their rights and finances for the revival of the kingdom.

This is something William or Gurley would not do.

Seeing Sals so young and loyal, Ella instantly thought about marrying an illegitimate daughter to him......

After Sals finished speaking, he was silent, while Gullet and William were like sparrows, chattering.

"Enough, shut up."

When Ella saw the Archbishop of Kent and Oran coming and invited her to come over for a consultation, she stopped her men.

The three "adults" ignored this group of "children", walked around the square and negotiated, and finally negotiated.

In the end, the contest was ruled invalid, and because Oran's knights were too cruel to the knights of the royal court, Oran bathed himself and prayed in front of the archbishop and the church (but this was not carried out with Orlan's departure the day after tomorrow).

Kunsang was ordered to be imprisoned and whipped by Oran (but Orlan did nothing, and put him in a tent where he ate, drank, and slept for a day).

Oran gave Gila a a face, and the wedding ended before the sun went down that day.

Early the next morning, after the Orlan troops finished their training, they said goodbye to Ella and wanted to go back to annex Durham immediately.

After a few days here, Orlan inquired a lot of information, and even instructed Ulf to bribe a royal knight, and also learned about Malm's long imprisonment.

Orlan didn't want Malmu to stay, but he couldn't take it with him, and he was only engaged at the moment, and Ella couldn't let him go, so he asked Nanding to leave eight people as personal soldiers to protect him, and asked Ulf to stay and take care of them.

Ulf fears that Orlan won't be able to raise the money to come back, and wants to refute it.

But Orlan didn't give him a chance, and replied, "You have been busy with this matter for so long, and it is best for you to follow up, and soon I will bring more soldiers back, Bishop Ulf." ”

"What do you call me, my lord?"

"Bishop, as the chief priest of the county, you will be the county bishop of Durham County in the future, find a time to get a priest's costume and cloak suitable for your status."

When Ulf received this promise, he was blinded by his interests and rejoiced.

Before leaving, Oran spoke with King Ella and told him that the next time he returned, he would bring Lady Adesha over and serve as a liaison between the two (in fact, Ella's lover).

Relying on this, he asked Ella for the equipment of twenty people.

If Oranli's IOU is not repaid on this trip, it will be earned even if the equipment he borrowed from Ella is counted.

On the morning of his departure from Dan, Malmu was led by the maid and Ulf to the outside of the castle tower to escort him out of Oran.

Now that she has changed her status, she can go out, but she has the king's guards by her side, and she can't leave his side without Ella's orders.

Marm wore a veil and was surrounded by maids, and did not dare to approach.

Seeing this, Orlan stretched out his finger and gestured...... Malmu finally mustered up the courage to come over.

Today's Malmu is dressed in gray, like an ascetic nun, or a woman who is in repentance of her sins.

"Your Excellency Oran...... I thought about it for a long, long time. ”

"Huh?"

"This ring is so precious...... I don't deserve it. ”

"Why?"

"I'm ...... Sinners, in order to survive, go around the Viking world, and your reputation will be discredited......"

Whenever he remembered the past, Malmu felt embarrassed and his body even trembled.

The prospective hostess's tears were dripping, and Ulf, who was her personal bodyguard, saw this, and immediately asked the servant to step back and let the two masters talk in detail.

The king's guards refused, and Ulf said angrily, "This is the order of His Excellency the Count!"

Ulf had lost to the old knight Coben the day before yesterday, and he was not very powerful in speaking, but there was Kunsang standing beside Orlan, and the devil "snorted", and the king's guard immediately retreated many steps.

The terrible scene the day before yesterday, the guards would have made a fuss just thinking about it.

Ulf and Kunsang also retreated, and only two masters remained.

Growing up in the royal palace, Malmu has seen and heard countless conflicts between men and women, most of which are caused by "suspicion".

Before "that incident" happened, or even any marriage contract, her heart had already decided that she wanted to treat her husband without reservation.

The day before yesterday, Oran's words in the church moved her deeply, so at this moment, she came to see Oran herself.

"Are you a sinner?" Oran asked.

When Malmu heard this, his body trembled even more, and he was ashamed to look up at Oran.

"I like women to obey me, but now I want you to stand upright!"

Malm's gaze reconnected with Oran.

"Have you ever hurt anyone?"

"Nope."

"Do you want to hurt anyone?"

"I was angry...... And this is sinful. ”

"Fool."

"Huh?"

"Did the Danish Vikings turn you into this?"

"Yes......"

"Denmark is now in charge of the white-shirted Hafdan with his half-brother, Snake-Eyed Sigurd, I don't have the strength to help you get it back, wait for me for a while."

"You...... What do you want to do?"

"I want to send this group of people back to the kingdom of God that they have in their hearts, 'Valhalla'."

"Your Excellency!"

"Why do husbands and wives use honorific titles?"

"You said you should be honored as a god......

"You don't need to be honored in casual conversation, just respect me from the heart."

"Yes...... Good. ”

"You have a good sister."

"Mia?"

"She secretly sent a letter to Ulf to tell me that you were caught by the Vikings at the expense of your stepmother and stepsister in the first place, and that 'they' failed you."

"Orlan-sama!" Malmu used honorific titles again.

"Just a name." Orlandau.

"Åland ......"

"Malm, I was captured by the Vikings, and after being ransomed, I practiced my sword desperately. In the summer of the thirteenth year, my father sent an old knight with me to Kent with thirty men to train me......

When we passed by a convent, I saw hell there!"

"Ahh A terrible picture flashed through Malm's mind.

"I can't imagine a beautiful aristocratic woman falling into the hands of the Vikings.

You don't care for your loved ones - this is bravery, weakness is so, but you can escape - this is wisdom.

I tell you, I have a female elder who was also captured by the Vikings, but her husband did everything to get her back, and his love for her was undiminished for the rest of his life. ”

Orlan Huzou gave the names of the two elders and deceived Malmu with a white lie.

Redeeming her herself!

"You're good to be honest with me, I like that. You have to protect yourself, I have heard a lot of things before and after I came, your relatives are not much better than the Vikings, they are more likely to bite you. ”

Malmu did not dare to listen to this, and suddenly covered his ears with his hands, but at the thought of such rudeness, he let go of his ears for a while, and then let them all go under Orlan's gaze.

"I saw it, your heart is in turmoil, see you next time, I will let you understand what it should be like to be a woman."

With that, Orlan approached and hugged Malmu's nervous body.

Nanding had lined up his soldiers and was ready to get close to ask Orlan when he was leaving.

Seeing this scene from afar, he waved his arm, and all the hundreds of soldiers turned their backs.

From stiffness to gradual submission, Malmu did not know where to put his hands, and finally ...... Hold Orlan forward.

The two are so close that affection is spreading.

After the hug, the overlapping figures pulled away slightly, but Orlan placed his hand on Malm's shoulder.

At this time, the eyes are facing each other......

"Where do you guess my heart is?"

"Left?"

"Wrong."

"Wrong?"

"On your side."

A sentence in Orlan's memory of his previous life, ordinary flirtatious words, but at this moment, Malmu burst into tears.

It was the chaotic Middle Ages, where men and women cheated and seduced.

It was also a loyal Middle Ages, where men and women kept their oaths.

The white eagle flag in the queue was blown by the wind, the early morning sun shone on the two of them, and the cold heart finally melted.

Oran's smile was remembered by Malm for the rest of his life.

She touched the silver ring in her hand - love is eternal - and slowly watched her husband leave......
