Chapter 431: Prize Caroline

Several people didn't understand why the king's competition was related to a female captive.

"Because, the strongest in this contest will win this woman! Come to think of it, that's the fiancΓ©e of the Grand Prince of the Duchy of Jean! The future queen of the Duchy of Jean! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Anlis said the reason in a sloppy manner, and the Gervais people on the opposite side looked at each other when they heard it, what did King Hayden want to do? Is it a way to insult the royal family of the Duchy of Jean? It's too childish.

"Isn't it strange why the king did this? Few people know about it, but I'm telling you now, don't tell it! ”

As he said this, Anlis lowered his voice.

"A few days ago, the king of the Duchy of Jean sent a messenger saying that he was willing to exchange the captured small vassals for Caroline, but after losing so many war horses in White Rock City, how could His Majesty agree, His Majesty asked the Duchy of Jean to stop the invasion, so that Caroline would be released, and as for those vassals, they were redeemed with gold coins according to the custom of previous years."

"As a result, the king of the Duchy of Jean did not agree, and even used trickery to capture Maiye City and come directly to the royal city, so His Majesty is determined to fight to the death with the Duchy of Jean, so if anyone can win the competition at that time, he will be the future queen of the Duchy of Jean!"

Anlis was so well-informed that he knew all about it, and Gervais estimated that it had been heard by Anlis from his uncle, the treasurer.

"Hey, hey! Isn't that Caroline pretty? ”

After listening to the cause and effect, the discomfort present was unexpected, no matter what Caroline looked like, the reputation of the future queen of the Duchy of Jean alone was enough to make these people eager to try.

If you really win this competition and win the beauty at that time, it will definitely spread to the entire principality, and even spread to the other two principalities.

For these aristocratic youths, fame and beauty are their life pursuits.

"I haven't seen that Caroline look like either, but do you think about the fiancΓ©e of the Grand Prince of the Duchy of Jean, the young lady of the Earl's family, how bad can she be?"

Anlis shook his head and said he hadn't seen Caroline either.

"Then the day after tomorrow, I'm going to participate too! Hey! ”

Although they didn't know Caroline's appearance, several people agreed with Anlis's later statement, the noble lady of the Earl family, how bad could it be.

Only Gervais on the side was a little speechless, this Caroline is really a disaster, King Hayden actually came up with this bad idea.

This is a great blow to the face of the eldest prince and the Duchy of Jean, and it also has even more damage to Caroline!

"Do you want to participate in this competition?"

Gervais is now also in a dilemma.

If you participate!

Then his identity is fake, and when the time comes, he will appear on stage in public, and no one who knows the Potter family will be allowed to get in.

If you don't participate!

Then Caroline's woman is miserable, even if she still has no worries about her life afterwards, but her dream of being a queen is definitely going to be shattered.

……

Two days later, the square outside King Hayden's palace was filled with people.

The square is so large that it can accommodate up to 20,000 people, and is used for the various ceremonies of the Principality, which is normally off-limits to civilians, and is no different today.

Those who can come here today are the heirs of lords or nobles.

Anlis's message was very accurate, and Gervais and the others did receive a notice from the herald yesterday morning.

King Hayden will hold a youth contest in the square in front of the palace, which can be attended by the children of the nobility of the principality who are not married, and the best person in the contest will receive Caroline.

And in addition to Caroline, there is also a knighthood reward.

The first place will receive the title of Viscount, and the remaining top 10 will receive the title of Baron.

Of course, this title is not a fief, it is an honorary title, but it is also a great attraction for the young people of the Duchy of Alban.

Whether it is the second son or the eldest son of the family, it is a lot of benefits to obtain this title.

So the square in front of the palace was packed this morning, and all the young nobles had rushed here to try their skills.

Purple flags fluttered all over the square, and Gervais and the six Tred came to the square.

"Hey, Gervais, you said that if we were to get the first place, would we have to marry that Caroline? The eldest lady of the Earl family, I'm afraid I can't afford it. ”

Tred's appearance today is a bit sassy, the original old leather armor has been refurbished, and the iron pieces inlaid on the leather armor are estimated to have taken a lot of effort last night, and they have been polished to a shiny finish.

And in his hand, he was holding a waist-high square shield, which Gervais hadn't seen a few days ago, so he should have borrowed it from somewhere.

However, the quality of this shield should be good, the whole is made of iron bars as the skeleton, in order to reduce the weight, although the middle is covered with wood, but the wood is wrapped with thick iron sheets on both sides.

This shield alone weighs dozens of catties, and even the slash of the title knight can be prevented.

"Of course, it is difficult to feed, and the jewelry used by the Countess is made of pure gold, and it has to be inlaid with all kinds of precious stones, and a better set is enough for the baron to collect taxes for several years."

Anlis on the side was even more sassy, and directly wore a full-body armor, which was silver-white all over, with brass inlaid forged patterns, plus a fiery red cloak, which directly compared Gervais and other six people, although there was no inscription of strengthening runes, but the shape was absolutely sassy.

After hearing Tred's question, Anlis interjected without waiting for Gervais to answer.

"However, the king did not say that he must marry this Caroline, hehehehe! You get the idea! ”

"Alas, we definitely can't compete with you, Anlis, come on! It's up to you to fight for Caroline, we're only going to fight for a title. ”

Although they are all family heirs, they can give it to their brothers when they compete for this title, which is allowed by the law of the nobility.

"Puff~"

"Hillbilly, I really think it's you countrymen! I also want to check in with Rowling and the knighthood idea! ”

Just as Tred and the others were happily discussing, a sneer suddenly came from beside him.

"Who are you scolding?"

Although Tred is honest and honest, he is also straight, and when he heard someone's sarcastic words, he immediately blushed and fought back.

I saw Gervais and them two meters away, I don't know when five young men came, all of them wearing full body armor.

And their full-body armor is different from that of Anlis, the style is more beautiful and exquisite, and it looks like a master blacksmith forging.

In addition to this, there are also one or two strengthening runes engraved on their armor, although there are only one or two, but they also represent strength and status.

"What's wrong with the hillbilly scolding you? Bite off more than one can chew! ”

The young man obviously didn't expect these people to dare to reply, so he looked at it with interest and replied with a provocative face.

"T it, Terred, those two are the heirs of the Kenny family and the Bosan family!"

Seeing that the two sides were about to clash, Anlis quickly grabbed Treid, and then whispered a word of persuasion in his ear.

These two were among the six countly families of the Duchy of Alban.

The Earl's family is indeed not something that these little baronial heirs can mess with.

Anlis was well-informed and knew the identity of the other party, and immediately had no intention of arguing with them.

It's not cowardice, it's the rule of this world, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

After listening to Anlis's words, although Tred's face was still red, he was not a brainless person, so he finally endured it and did not continue to speak, but just pinned his face to the side.

This made Gervais a little impressed with him.

Woo woo woo~

At this moment, the sound of trumpets came from the walls of the royal palace, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"His Majesty the King has arrived!"

"His Majesty the King has arrived!"
