Chapter 179: Shocking Four
Princess Sibylla lifted the tablecloth to reveal a chessboard with three columns inscribed on it: "melee", "ranged" and "siege".
In the center, there is also a weather bar that resembles the "Chu River Han Realm" to apply various buffs.
In the original version of Gwent cards, the rules tended to be simplified, in order to make it easier to circulate and make it easy for the knightly class, who were mostly illiterate, to play.
Not only Lothar and Sibylla were playing cards, but also many of the knights and nobles below gathered together to drink and watch the game.
When it comes to entertainment, people always seem to have great wisdom and perseverance to overcome many obstacles.
The speed at which GWENT's cards became popular was beyond Lothar's expectations.
The two fought each other.
Contrary to Lothar's expectations, the princess's card skills were really as superb as she said, rather than relying solely on card values.
It seems that the self-proclaimed "senior witcher enthusiast" in her mouth is not just a political lie to deepen the relationship between the two, but contains some true feelings.
"Best-of-three, sorry, I won."
Sibylla took the Gwent cards back from her hand one by one, and a little pride appeared on her face: "I know you don't think I'm going to be a wise ruler from the bottom of your heart. But as it turns out, you're wrong. β
A wise man does not mean that he is a wise monarch.
Lothar said secretly in her heart.
His bad impression of Sibylla comes from the princess Sibylla in his previous life.
As soon as she and Guy ascended to the throne of Jerusalem, they put the country in a very dangerous situation.
But the princess of this world, Sibylla, seems to be really not as unbearable as Lothar originally expected, and she is quite unique in terms of governing places and controlling vassals.
Lothar had a long conversation with Princess Sibylla again.
As long as she gave up the idea of co-opting herself to be a thug in the past, Lothar was still willing to have a good relationship with Princess Sibylla.
He now adheres to the same principles of neutrality as Baron Gofrey.
The royal party couldn't be more suitable for him.
The current royal party is not as weak and bullying as it used to be, at least at the political level, it has been able to keep pace with the queen mother's party.
Whereas triangles are the most stable.
The situation of the confrontation between the three parties will enable the political situation in Jerusalem to be stable for a long time to come.
Princess Sibylla suddenly thought of something, and said, "Oh, by the way, I have a guest here, and you may be interested. β
"Your Highness, please?"
Sibylla picked up the silver wine glass and took a sip of fine wine before frowning and said, "A man who claims to be a witcher, he said that he came to the Holy Land to track down a wicked werewolf, I don't know if he is a liar or not, but if there is really a werewolf lurking in the Holy Land, it is a threat to anyone." β
Lothar frowned slightly: "Werewolves again - to be honest, it seems that there are a lot of dark creatures seen in Jerusalem recently. β
Sibylla nodded, "This is also the doubt in my heart, the witcher said, because the dark creatures are good at hiding, and many times, they pass us in the streets, and we still don't know it." β
Lothar remembered what the witch Anna had said to herselfβthere were more wizards than they could have imagined.
The two sentences have the same effect.
"A very reasonable explanation, I'll meet him after the banquet."
At this time, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became a little weird.
The noisy conversation suddenly became much quieter.
Lothar and Princess Sibylla subconsciously raised their heads, and saw Fryngila and Prajna, dressed in full costume, walking into the banquet hall together.
Praruo wore a bright red palace dress today, and the skirt was supposed to be able to mop the floor, but because she was extremely tall, she exposed an ankle.
This bright color appeared on her, which made Lothar feel extremely rare.
Like a delicate rose, it is dazzling and attracts everyone's attention at the first time.
On the side, Fringilla wore a pale green dress, which was diametrically opposed to her usual style, so it looked a little plain, but it was undoubtedly very outstanding.
Red with green...
Lothar couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the appearance of these two people was too outstanding, and they could control such a bad color scheme.
The slaves, knights, and nobles at the banquet seemed to have lost their voices collectively at this moment, and they could only hear the sound of swallowing saliva one after another.
Sibylla clenched her fist slightly, her sharp nails poking her palm.
This calmed her down a little.
"I'm sorry."
"I've had to be with you for a while."
Lothar said with a smile.
Sibylla pretended to be indifferent and said, "It's okay. β
Lothar got up and walked down, feeling that if he didn't stand up in time, the wouldn't be able to make a jealous farce of his accosting people.
β¦
Fringira took Prajna's arm and said a little proudly, "Well, I just said that I have to change into a beautiful dress - look at the jealous eyes of those women?" β
"Silly big man, you have to thank me well, this princess is not willing to be a green leaf foil for others at all times."
The corners of her mouth pursed slightly, she didn't plan to dress like this.
It was Frigila who took the initiative to take her to the guest room to change her clothes when she heard that there was a banquet.
This little girl loves stinky beauty, and all the luggage she carries with her is beautiful clothes.
"Thank you indeed."
Prajna whispered.
Fringira is unusually atmospheric:
"It's okay, in short, this time I must greatly temper the arrogance of that princess Sibylla, so that she will be disgraced and no longer have unrealistic thoughts about adults."
Although Lothar had promised several times that she would not marry Sibylla politically, Fringira remained wary of it.
After all, it was a great opportunity to climb to the top, and even Frigila herself found it tempting.
Lothar walked up to him: "You two were mysterious, just to change your clothes?" β
Frigila snorted softly, "Yes, does the look of those men full of envy satisfy your vanity?" β
"Heh, am I the kind of vain person in your eyes?"
Lothar asked rhetorically.
His gaze quickly fell on Prajna, and he couldn't move it.
This bright color, lining the white and snowy skin of Panruo, looks even smoother as jade, and greatly dissipates her cold temperament.
Praruo turned his cheeks slightly, and the silky black hair fell down on his shoulders: "Is it good-looking?" β
"Beautiful!"
He said softly, "Miss Prajna, may I ask if I have the honor to invite you to be my partner at the banquet?" β
After a hesitation, Frigila preemptively said, "My lord, she doesn't want to, so I'll come!" β
Lothar stretched out her hand and ruffled Frigila's long white hair: "Good, next time." β
Frigila was about to speak, but Pranya nodded with a smile on her lips.
"Yes."
β¦
On the side, some knights who were about to move were stopped by their companions: "Don't die, fool, these two are the ladies of the Count of Lothar's family, which turn will you go up to join in the fun?" β
"Both?"
A look of astonishment appeared on the knight's face: "This Count of Lothar is too greedy, right?" β
"Don't think of these two ladies as ordinary people, they, one is a mysterious witch, the other is the famous 'Iron Knight', people like you and me, it is enough honor to look at them from afar."
"No wonder, these two are the legendary Iron Knight and the Scarlet Witch."
The legend of the witches under Lothar's command has never been a secret in the Holy Land, and people are keen to spread such rumors, especially those knights who have served under Lothar.
Otto looked at Lothar, who was holding her hand and walking towards her, and couldn't show the slightest smile on her face.
He had to admit that he had broken his defenses a bit.
Originally, I thought that Lothar also paid the price of "not being able to marry a wife" for the sake of the family and in order to expand her power.
He also made up his mind to return to Aargau to complete his marriage contract with the second daughter of the Duke of Lower Lorraine after completing the pilgrimage.
But now it seems, that's the price of a fart!
"This is Otto, my brother."
Lothar introduced in turn: "These two are Prajna and Fringilla, they are my most trusted comrades-in-arms. β
Otto smiled wryly: "It's an honor to meet the two ladies, I've heard Lothar talk about it, because of you, he can't marry a wifeβbut I want to say that if you can be with a beautiful woman like you, it doesn't matter at all whether you marry a wife or not." β
Furringira was very satisfied with this result, but said, "I didn't ask the adults not to marry a wife, this is the adults' willingness. β
Otto didn't doubt it, he showed a look of "I understand", if he knew that Lothar was really voluntary, he would definitely be even more suspicious of life.
