In the middle of winter, the Berto estate is still beautiful, and there is no snow even in winter. There are still occasional sunny clouds in the sky. Compared to Kislev, it's a paradise. Tallinnam remembers that the first time he came to the estate was autumn, when the farmers were busy harvesting the wheat, the women were busy making wine, and the machines in the garment mill were constantly running, and everything was alive and orderly.

He'd grown to like it, and in the heart of the realm, not even a Beastman or Greenskin had appeared. Tallinnam came back alone, without asking the local farmers for any compensation or "conservation money", and at the same time, he did not spend a day in the town for nothing.

When he returned, civilians continued to greet him along the way, and a large number of people gathered at the gate of Berto's manor. They had come to welcome him and praise him. It's been a long time since there has been a man like Tallinnham in this land who is truly selfless. Sacrifice life for civilians.

Berto stood in front of the gate and greeted Tallinnham in person, his eyes as loving and warm as a father's.

"Tallinnam!"

The crowd cheered enthusiastically. This scene is like welcoming the return of a hero, Tarynham is stunned by the sight in front of him, he never wanted to be a hero, to become a knight in the narrow sense of the people's hearts, however, the people regard him as a real knight. If it weren't for the fact that the system didn't allow it, Berto really wanted to promote him as a knight. However, everything in this country is up to the goddess of the lake, and Berto knows that even he has no power to promote Tallinnam.

......

In the beige room, a large book is sitting on a white table. This was specially prepared by Bertto for Tallinnam, and it is a history book about Bretonnia, which records the many major events that have taken place in Bretonnia from the founding of the country to the present day.

The first half of the book is a chronicle-like narrative, concise but very dry. Except for those exciting big battles, everything else is something that runs the books. The second half of the book is a biography of the people, the personal story of each king, his life and deeds, and so on. The rhetoric is gorgeous, like an epic. However, Tallinnham knew that such biographies could only be looked at, and that they were at least half fictional, and that no king would allow the recorder to blacken him.

Tallinnham couldn't help but thank Rhodes, who forced him to learn to read and learn the Chinese language. By Rod's side, he didn't practice martial arts like he did by Berto's side, but he learned a lot of knowledge.

"Tallinnam. ”

A familiar voice came from behind him, and Tallinnham turned to look. Berto's wife, Anna, was standing in the doorway, staring at her with a strange gaze.

"Ma'am. ”

Tallinnham hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

"The Narrow-Minded - Tallinnam, the Beastman Buster - Tallinnham. Heroes of the Vale of Valin. Big hero, shall we have a drink?"

Berto's wife, Anna, said. She wore a delicate and soft fine velvet robe, with white wool brocade hanging from her shoulders, and light makeup on her face, which made her look graceful and luxurious.

Tallinnham knew that Anna had come to her, not for a drink. She must have something to say.

"No, ma'am, Lord Berto has commanded that I shall not drink in the castle. ”

Tallinnam prevaricated.

"Now that he's gone, you can drink with confidence, don't worry, I won't tell him. ”

Anna said. Her voice was cold, and her face was haughty.

"Still no, ma'am......"

Tarlinham refused again.

"If I let you drink, you will drink. In Berto's absence, I'm talking about it here. ”

Anna couldn't help but reprimand loudly. With disdain in her eyes, Tallinnham had no choice but to take the glass and drink the red wine inside. Love me

"Ma'am. ”

Again, he said humbly.

"Very good, still obedient. ”

Anna jokingly said that Tallinnham was very upset, but she was the mistress of the manor, the wife of Berto, and Berto loved her, and everyone had to listen to her......

"Tallinnam, how long have you been here?"

Anna then asked.

"It's been four months, ma'am. ”

Tallinnam replied.

"Oh, four months, neither long nor short. Anna raised her glass and took a sip of wine, "In four months, you have become the spokesperson of Berto, do you think you are particularly powerful?

"Madame...... I never said I was the face of Lord Berto. ”

Tallinnham explained.

"Well, you didn't say that, but they think so. ”

Anna said, staring at Tallinnham with a strange gaze. Tallinnham knew that Berto's wife had never liked him, and that Anna hadn't looked at her since she first entered the estate. But he didn't care, Tallinnham swore to follow Berto, not saying that he would also follow Berto's wife.

"Who?"

Tallinnham asked, feigning puzzlement.

"Who else? Your reputation is very loud now, the narrow-minded, and if you could, I wonder if the commoners were going to call you a knight in the narrow-minded?"

Anna continued to ask. She placed the glass on the large, heavy book and tapped the glass with her delicate fingers, making a crisp sound.

"Madam, please forgive me, that's their business, and it's not up to me to control what the people think. ”

Tallinnham bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"But that's what you think. Anna did not have a hint of questioning, but said in an affirmative tone. "You may still be thinking that Berto and I have no children, and in a few years, you can be his heir and rule the land. ”

"No, ma'am. I've never thought of it that way!"

Tallinnham retorted. He was indeed a little annoyed, isn't it wrong to help the civilians? Why do people come to trouble him even if he does something to help the civilians? He just did what he should do, why did Berto's mean wife do this to himself? True hero, Legendary Lord Berto, what do you really love about her? Tallinnam asked himself in his heart. However, no one gave him an answer.

"Hehe, you'd better not think like that. Tallinnam, remember your identity, you are a refugee from Kislev, and beyond that, you are nothing. Everything you have now is given to you by Berto. Moreover, He will not give you any more. You can never be a real knight in Bretonnia. Because you have the blood of civilians in your veins, it is destined to be a civilians for the rest of your life. Got it?"

Anna scoffed with harsh words.

Tarlinham just kept silent, he knew that here, he categorically did not have the right to tear his face with his mistress Anna. And he couldn't tell Berto all about today. Berto loves his wife and tolerates everything about her, and if he lets him know that Anna can't get along with him, it will be tantamount to making Berto feel embarrassed. For the sake of the original vow, Tallinnham endured, he nodded silently, and watched the proud Princess Anna leave the room. The big book with a cowhide cover was stained with a few drops of dark red wine juice that Anna had just shaken the glass to drip from......
