The climate of Mercia is milder than that of Northumbria, and the population is larger and wealthier, which has long suppressed this northern neighbor.

Berry's heart is old in the north, in addition to Scotland, Vikings, and even Northumbria.

One of the most important reasons for excluding this innate superiority and the fact that he has fought against each other is that Berry is now the new "Lord of Lincolnshire."

Orlan killed the governor of Lincolnshire, and although he was finally settled by the king and Amon the penitent of the palace, his notoriety was still not small.

He absorbed the retainers of the former Lincolnshire magistrate and part of the estate, and turned his head to get involved with the son of the White Eagle, which was to shoot himself in the foot.

Otto has no cultural superiority, and he has nothing to do with the Lincolnshire prefect,

But there are very few people in the Perry family, and as a parent, he originally hoped to marry the "widowed sister" to an older prince of the kingdom.

And Kunsang has a low status, a terrible appearance, and a reputation for murder.

Aside from that, during the time of King Aphar, there was an unwritten rule that anyone who married a foreign nobleman was required to pay a marriage tax to the king.

This was a ploy by the King of Offa to suppress the nobility so that they would not collude with foreign countries excessively.

And recently, in response to the Vikings,

King Burgred not only collected the atonement, but also initiated the tax law.

In this marriage, the benefits are not conspicuous, and the disadvantages are a bunch.

Of course, the Orlan camp is not without good candidates, such as Gliese, Nanding and the like.

But it's this Kunsang!

When the two magistrates came to the king and the princess, they humbled each other.

But the king intended to pay a marriage tax, which must be set within a day regardless of who married.

Berry asked someone to give the king a box of heavy goods overnight.

It is a "coin" issued by King Bergred himself.

looked at his avatar, accepted it with joy, and directly named Sister Otto to marry Kunsang, a demon with a terrible appearance and a bad reputation.

In this way, he can collect taxes again.

And this behavior quickly raised Otto's dissatisfaction.

Night

In the temporary manor of the nobles outside the royal court, Otto looked at his weeping sister and wanted to send her away, but he was afraid of attracting the reproach of the king and the other nobles.

"Brother, send me to the north, I'll die, that person is too terrifying!"

"Don't cry, I can't think about it."

Otto himself was at odds with Berry.

Mercia once held a jousting tournament, and the poisonous tongue Berry won and spoke.

Laughing at Otto's strength is less than that of a woman, the seeds of hatred begin to be planted.

With a good face, he thought of losing to Berry again this time, so he angrily drew his sword and slashed down the trees in the yard.

The knights beside Otto also fanned the flames, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with the king and the courtier.

"When the former king of Northumbria died in battle, His Majesty said to us nobles that if we donated, we would receive the right to mine minerals in the three southern counties, and if anyone resisted, the kingdom's army would clear the way.

As a result, I joined forces with Orlan and King Ella on my backhand, and all the money I paid went into his treasury!

Now he still wants to weaken me, and he doesn't want to think about how my father will help him when he succeeds to the throne!"

"Your Excellency, why don't we go to Sir Amun?"

"He wanted to get my 'Chester County' and wouldn't help us at all."

Otto was angry, and simply pointed to one of his subordinates, "You come to marry my sister, and I will immediately find the priest to witness and write down the paperwork, so that I can see what other people have to say?"

People are selfish, and just now they were standing beside the lord, filled with righteous indignation.

But when it was Otto's turn to marry Otto's ordinary, widowed sister without a title, and possibly in the face of the king's wrath, he was afraid.

"You bastards!"

Amid the insults, end the meeting.

The next day, at the dinner of the king and the princess,

Oran, Kunsan, Otto, and his sister Hirsch were all in attendance.

Oran sat at the rectangular main table, flanked by Princess Vivian and King Burgred.

Vivian is dressed up and has a seductive floral scent on her body.

During the meal, under the cover of the tablecloth, he also hooked Oran's feet with his feet.

He seemed to laugh but not laugh during the conversation, and even started to move his hand at the end......

Princess Vivian, this woman Orlan inquired.

He was the cousin of Alfred, Crown Prince of Wessex, and the cousin of King Æthelred.

It was a political marriage between Mercia and Wessex.

Æthelred sent her cousin to Mercia, but she betrayed her intelligence to her husband.

For a long time, it has been on both sides.

She lives a luxurious life and does not wear the same garment more than seven times.

Therefore, the women of the kingdom talk behind her back, "the woman whose wardrobe is never filled".

When the king got up to make it convenient, the woman stretched out her hand to Oran......

"Your Majesty, I love my wife very much, please take your hands away."

"Your Excellency, loyalty is the duty of commoners, debauchery is the nature of nobles, you don't like me to touch you, then you can touch me to retaliate back."

"You are the princess, the most beautiful and noble woman in the kingdom, your soul is incomparably holy, please do not tease me."

"Your Excellency, I am in need of a righteous soul that will enter the depths of my soul and make me feel the Seven Goodness, which is not a teasing, but a request."

In the royal court of Mercia, no matter how young and good-looking a knight is, he is worse than Oran.

He exercises day and night, his figure is straight, and just looking at it makes women look pleasing to the eye.

Vivian is naked flirting.

After all, it is the court of the king of Mercia, and no matter what Orlan does, he will not do anything to let the king of Mercia deal with him.

This woman is exciting...... But also dangerous, extremely dangerous.

Eventually, Oran gently pulled his hand away and squeezed the woman's palm.

act on the spot and give the princess some face.

Of course, if there is no one in private, many secrets can be inquired.

Then you can sacrifice yourself.

This is all for the sake of the "great cause" of Northumbria.

Seeing the king return,

Vivian retracted her mind and planned to find an opportunity to communicate with Orlan in the future.

As a princess with political ambitions, her importance is reflected in her "birth" and her ability to connect the two countries.

If you can hook up with Northumbria's "Vice-King Oran", it will be more beneficial to yourself.

If you think of Orlan's relationship with Vivian, you will see it as an "adulterer and adulteress".

Kunsang and Hirsch are the other extreme.

Hirsch never dared to look up, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Marrying his life to such a terrible man, he wants to die.

But the aristocracy is responsible for the family, marriage is an act of continuing glory, and love is shameful.

When Oran had full access to Otto's information, it was decided that it would be her.

Chester County is one of the most important cities in Mercia, close to the Welsh border, rich in copper mines, and separated from Ireland by the sea.

Above it was "Manchester", the current territory of Cartana.

Marriage with such an ally is tantamount to planting a nail in the eye, not to mention being able to spy on Katana.

It will be easier and faster to communicate with Wales by yourself.

Your own guild merchants can also use this route to expand their trading bases.

Not to mention that this woman is still a distant royal family.

To some extent, Hirsch is the daughter of a royal lord who is higher than an ordinary baron, the daughter of a small county magistrate.

Oran, who has always wanted to find a good partner for Kunsang, after careful calculation, this marriage is promising.

Now that it is an eventful season, after this meal, the gift wedding ring will be exchanged immediately.

When Hirsch was put on the wedding ring by Kunsang, he was so excited that he fainted when he saw her fierce face.

Otto wanted to say something, but Orlan said, "Your sister fainted with joy when she met her destined person, and it will surely be a very happy day in the future, and she will not be hurt or wronged in any way, this is the oath of the White Eagle." ”

At night, the princess sat at the window, and under the moonlight, her light clothes gracefully outlined the curves of her body.

When King Bergred came in, he was unceremonious, "You're thinking about that little white face." ”

"Pay attention to your cultivation, Your Majesty, that's an honorable guest, didn't he mean to make you the commander of the fight against the Vikings, but also to let Joan of Arc find the legendary sword in the stone for you? I'm just here to help you be kind to your guests. ”

】

King Burgred snorted, "You filthy...... Woman!"

"If your hands are dirty, wash them with water."

"The table is dirty, wipe it with a cloth."

"If your body is dirty, then take a few more showers."

"I'm most afraid of the heart, then it's hard to clean."

"Now 'Amon' can listen to you like this, all because I 'pajama' him, and you actually scolded me?"

After saying that, the princess pushed the king down with all her might......

"You are my husband, I must love you the most, don't make me angry."

When the souls collided violently, the princess said, "Amon is too old, and he needs to be replaced with a more capable and obedient one, and take back his land estate." ”
