Although Carl shouted such bold words under the impetus of the momentary atmosphere, it was still very far away to achieve that goal, and it was even a question of whether he could achieve it, but after all, there was a goal, and he could start preparing for it.

As always, in the early morning, Carl stayed in his study and pondered his own code, looking at his subordinates' reports on the territory, after all, he was not the county official of the Eastern Celestial Empire who had to deal with everything like him, so it was also idle.

"Lord Lord, no, a large army has appeared outside!" Just then, the guards rushed in with a look of horror on their faces.

"What? How many people are there? Karl's face also changed, and he hurriedly walked out of the study and looked out through the window of the hall.

The peasants in the territory had already taken refuge in their respective houses, and they were watching through the cracks, not knowing what was happening.

The opposing army was numerous, with hundreds of men, and on the opposite side of them were the Thorn Corps and the Hagrid Corps, which were urgently assembled, and the two sides were facing each other, and there was a posture of starting if they didn't agree with each other.

And Kevin and Sylvia were also staring at each other vigilantly, for fear that the other party would suddenly attack.

The flag was unfurled, and Carl looked at it, and his nerves tensed again, it was an incomparably familiar pattern, a red and white checkered flag, symbolizing a group of noble people.

"Everyone, lay down your weapons!" Karl feared that things would get out of control, so he hurriedly walked on.

"Lord Karl." Kevin and Sylvia felt a little more settled when they saw Carl come down, as if they had found their backbone.

The soldiers looked at each other, then lowered their weapons as well.

"Lay down your arms!" A young but audible voice came from the opposing army, and the Duke of Rizland's army no longer looked like it was tense.

"Are you a nobleman here? I remember it as if it was called ...... Carl Dias: yes. The young man asked, with a solemn expression.

"Yes, my lordship, I am Karl, and I am currently a knight under the command of Earl Lens." Karl bent slightly in respect.

"Very well, I'm the son of Duke Rizland, Frederick Rizland." Frederick's face maintained that innocent expression, which gave people a lot of pressure, and when he became the Duke of Rizland in the future, he would definitely be a duke who would make the vassals dare not resist.

"It is an honour to meet your honorable Lord Sir Frederick."

Frederick nodded, satisfied with Karl's attitude.

"Is this your army?" Frederick looked around, and he had a full view of the army on Karl's side.

"Yes, Lord Frederick, this is my army, and they are all warriors defending my territory." Carl smiled, feeling a little humble or arrogant.

He figured it out, anyway, the other party was not his own feudal lord, and he didn't need to act so scared, but he would fall behind.

In a word, my vassals are not my vassals, and the Duke of Rizland has no direct right to govern him.

"Yes, it is indeed an elite army, and it seems that your honor does not depend on luck." Frederick's face was approving, but his words were a little unpleasant.

"Lord Frederick, have you come all the way to do it?" Karl asked symbolically, though he knew the answer.

"Let's go to your house and talk about it later." Frederick obviously didn't want to leak the news of his sister's presence in this place, and it was true that the daughter of a duke and a young male nobleman had lived in the same place for so long that it was impossible not to make people think about it, and he had to stifle these rumors.

"Of course, Kevin, bring the army back to the barracks, Sylvia, and arrange a resting place for Lord Frederick's army." Karl waved his hand, and the two of them hurriedly went about it.

"Please come with me." Karl looked at Frederick and made a gesture of please.

"Hmm." Frederick nodded, and strode in with Karl, he had spent so much time on the road that he was so tired that he didn't want to waste any more nonsense.

Carl secretly slandered in his heart, worthy of being a nobleman of the duke's family, the good guy came out to pick up a sister and brought an army of several hundred people with him, I am afraid that he can fight a small war, and the food consumption is also an astronomical amount, and the other party is actually willing to give up.

However, this also made Carl see the importance that Duke Rizlan attached to Natalie, worried that something would happen to her outside, and even prepared for war.

"Big brother!"

As soon as Frederick entered, a figure had already run out with her skirt and hugged Frederick with a flattering smile on her face.

"My sister, you see it's really easy for me to find, do you know how worried my father is when you run away like this?" Frederick didn't delay her with a knife struck her in the head.

"Ahh Natalie covered her head, looking aggrieved.

"I almost thought you had lost your position as heir, Natalie, you were so naughty that you would dare to do such a thing." Frederick had the heart to preach, but when he saw Natalie's pitiful expression, he couldn't help but soften a little.

"Forget it, how can I have a sister like you." Frederick sighed and shook his head, but stopped teaching Natalie a lesson.

"Hehe, I know that big brother is the best!" Natalie smiled and shook Frederick's hand.

"Natalie, you go to the side first, I have something to talk to about this Lord Sir." Suddenly, Frederick seemed to think of something.

"What? Let me hear it too! Natalie blinked, reluctant to leave.

"Obedient!" Frederick's face fell again.

"Oh......" Natalie pouted, but walked away, only occasionally turning her head to look this way, and the look was indescribable.

Frederick made sure Natalie couldn't hear the conversation anymore and looked at Carl.

"Sir, may I ask what is the matter?" Karl asked, spreading his hands.

"Your Excellency Karl, I am now asking you a very serious question, and you must answer me truthfully!" Frederick's expression was serious, and he even changed his title to Your Excellency.

Carl also looked solemn, nodded, and said, "Excuse me, I will definitely not hide anything." ”

"Are you ...... Is there a break in Natalie's chastity? Frederick's words were so striking that Carl almost squirted the tea he had just drunk into his mouth, forcing him to swallow but coughing incessantly.

"Lord Sir...... You can be so humorous. Carl smiled wryly, this kind of joke is not funny.

"No, it's not humor, now please tell me if there is or not!" Frederick didn't mean to laugh at all, he just stared into Carl's eyes to see if he was dodging.

His sister was as pure as jasmine, and so beautiful, this was the first time he went out alone, he had no idea what had happened during his absence, he was afraid that the nobleman in front of him would seduce Natalie to do something unspeakable because of Natalie's beauty, in that case, not only him, but his father would also go crazy, and the nobleman who did it in front of him would be sent to the cross by the Duke of Rizlan to be burned alive.

Seeing the other party's expression, Carl also put away his smile, and just said seriously: "Lord Sir, I guarantee with the honor of the Dias family that I have not done such a thing, and during the time that Her Royal Highness Princess Natalie was here, I managed to keep a sufficient distance and provide protection." ”

Frederick stared at Carl for a long time, but Carl's eyes were always pure and open.

"Whew......" Frederick breathed a sigh of relief, if that was the case, then it was fine, he didn't worry about whether Natalie was caught doing something like that on the way, because if there really was, Natalie wouldn't have been able to get to Carl's territory.

"You are a knight of the light, I toast you." Frederick raised his glass.

"Cheers."

Without worries, Frederick was not as serious as when he came, and the two chatted casually, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

"Natalie, you're going to come here even if you run away from home, so do you already see what you want to see?" Frederick, who seemed a little drunk, looked at his sister and asked.

"Of course, I see a lot of different places here than Rizlandburg, all kinds of things, and I love it here!" Natalie smiled happily, like a blooming jasmine, which made everyone who saw this smile feel good.

"Oh? Is it really that amazing? Why don't you tell me about it? Frederick smiled slightly, maybe it would be a good idea to pass the time this way.

Natalie was overjoyed to hear Frederick's request, like an excited child who wanted to share her cherished story.

Frederick listened to his sister's innocent story with a smile at first, but as he listened, his smile did slowly retract, and the drunkenness that seemed to be faint before was gone, and that serious look returned to his face again.

He silently put down the glass in his hand, and his eyes fell on Carl's face again.

"Your Excellency Karl, could you please lend me a copy or two of the code you have compiled?" Frederick made his own request.

"Of course, Sir Sir, it's my pleasure." Carl readily agreed, and he didn't plan to keep this kind of thing privately.

As Frederick read the heavy codex, his expression became more solemn and serious.

After a moment, he flipped it over, and finally exclaimed, "Sir Karl, you are indeed a genius. ”

Even he didn't notice that his title had changed three times, and his tone became more and more admiring......
