Claire squirted out a sip of wine directly, aren't a few old men talking about beautiful women, how can they have something to do with themselves, and they are also shot while lying down.

Besides, he is just a little baron, but he is the princess of His Majesty the King, even if he has an idea, the princess may marry him?

Don't be kidding, princess and baron, this identity gap, not to mention equal to barons and commoners, at least it is similar to counts and commoners.

In the eyes of ordinary people, you are a baron, but in the eyes of the royal family, a baron like Claire who only has a small territory is no different from someone who asks for food.

"You can't say that." Baron Ian shook his head, patted Claire on the shoulder, and looked at him drunkenly. "At first glance, you don't know much about the history of the kingdom, let alone a baron, even commoners have the experience of marrying a princess. Young people, don't underestimate yourself. ”

"Really?" This is not Claire, but Vic, as a young man, he and Claire are the same age, young man, hearing the beautiful princess naturally can't help but feel awe.

"Yes, yes, but heh." Norman smiled and shook his head, did not speak, and drank another glass of wine.

"There's such a thing, but they're not ordinary civilians, but high-level magicians." Bart apparently knew about it too, and replied with a smile.

's words made Vic's heart, who was originally a little distracted, instantly cool by half.

High-level magicians, that's civilians? Just kidding, that identity, the average earl is not as high as him, well, the big guy who is really held everywhere he goes, this can also be regarded as a commoner, then he is not equal to a slave.

"Hahaha, Vic." Eden happily patted Vic on the back, almost scaring him to a stumbling side. "Don't be discouraged, to be honest, commoners are joking, as a nobleman, there is still the possibility of marrying a princess, and the royal family still values talents.

In the history of the kingdom, the royal family marrying a princess does not care about the identity and status of the other party, only whether you have the ability or not, and many knights and barons have married princesses. ”

Norman interrupted mercilessly when he saw the hope on Vic's face shine again.

"Yes, those knights are the champions of the national jousting tournaments, barons, or at least the young heroes of the kingdom.

Although the royal family has much lower requirements for marrying a princess than a prince marrying a wife, it is not something that can be married casually.

I said, Baron Eden, don't tease the two young men, it's boring. ”

At this time, Eden was not drunk, his eyes returned to clarity, laughed, patted his nephew on the shoulder again, and encouraged:

"Boy, if you want to marry a princess, you have to show some skills, let alone you, even Baron Claire next to you is not qualified in the eyes of the royal family.

It's good to have dreams, but don't be ambitious. ”

Hearing this, Vita silently clenched her fists and did not speak.

Claire watched Weta being teased, and she didn't make any movements or expressions, after all, he didn't care about the so-called princess at all.

I don't know which onion the other party is, how there are any mood fluctuations, and I don't have such a strong sense of substitution. Besides, he, Claire, is also loved by everyone in Three Rivers City, and there is no shortage of beautiful girls.

"But maybe you two have a chance." Leonard, who was the most silent in the banquet, suddenly spoke, and his words were shocking.

"It is rumored that the knightly competition will be held again after many years, and it is said that the champion will marry the eldest princess. The appearance of this eldest princess is not an exaggeration to say that it is the crown of the kingdom. ”

"Indeed, I was fortunate enough to meet once, and it was indeed amazing, it was so beautiful." Bart chimed in.

Good guy, Claire glanced at Bart without moving, it turned out that it had been done for a long time, and it was you who was the one at the banquet.

"How old is the eldest princess?"

"It's only 21 this year."

"21, I'm getting older, forget it."

"Poof." Norman squirted out a sip of wine, almost squirting on Claire's face, but Claire had already prepared and dodged away in time, and Vita, who was sitting next to Claire, suffered, and her exquisite robe was drenched with wine.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing that the innocent was hurt, Norman hurriedly apologized.

Weta didn't care about such small details, but sighed in his heart that Claire's reaction was so fast, this can be passed a lot, and he is worthy of being a genius boy who can leapfrog the challenge.

"How old are you?" Leonard glanced at Claire without emotion.

"It's barely 20 today." Claire held her head up, quite contented.

"It's really good to have your cultivation at the age of 20. It doesn't matter if you don't like the eldest princess, the second princess may come to the eastern part of the kingdom this year, and if there is a chance, it is not impossible. ”

Leonard's news once again surprised everyone.

Claire looked at the other party suspiciously, wondering if the other party was found by the royal family, why didn't she speak for a long time, and when she spoke, she introduced the princess, did she do such a thing?

Even Baron Eden looked sideways at Leonard, and his speech was a little uncomfortable.

"Your news channels are really well-informed, I don't even know about the second princess."

Leonard turned his head to look at Eden, stared at him for a second, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, it became.

"Oh, I have a good relationship with one of her grandfather's guards, and I know that her grandfather is seriously ill, so I guess the second princess will come."

"The old earl is seriously ill?" Norman was also refreshed, and the two sides let out a fine light. "Interesting, the kingdom during this period of time is really interesting, first the millennium war can be truce, and then there is the contradiction between the royal family and the grand duke of the west, and the west is restless.

Now, the old earl is also seriously ill, how long can the undercurrent in the eastern part of the kingdom be suppressed, there is no successor to those families, and there is a powerful figure in the Grand Duke family. ”

Norman seemed to be muttering to himself, but then looked at Baron Eden and asked softly.

"So the Mitchelsons decided to take refuge in Erdo Castle?"

Norman's words made Baron Eden feel uncomfortable, and he squinted his eyes to meet the other party's eyes.

"The Mitchelsons don't need to take refuge with anyone."

"Really?" Norman was a little unforgiving, and his expression was serious. "So how did the Mitchelson family's army end up here?"

"If my Mitchelson family members have a fief here, they will naturally appear here, but it is Three Rivers City, why did you capture my Mitchelson's land, do you want to start a war with my Mitchelson's family?

I'm curious when the well-known Norman captain ate with Trois-Rivières Mixed Rice. ”

"Ah, no, no." Norman smiled and waved his hand. "It has nothing to do with me, I'm just curious to ask, joking with you."

"Really?" Baron Eden's face changed quickly, and he smiled as well. "I'm joking, too, it's no secret that I'm here, I'm going to tell you about Trois-Rivières.

Anyway, sooner or later, I'll tell Baron Claire, I'll just tell you, because the family has a small deal with that Baron Walter, so they need my troops to help.

But don't worry, the Mitchelsons don't want to be enemies of Trois-Rivières, and they're just putting on a show, so I'll stay in Vita for a month, and when the time comes, I'll leave immediately, and we don't have to fight and kill each other, so it will affect our relationship a lot." ”

Walter, trade, a month, Claire chewed on the words and didn't speak, for him, he had a decision to make right now, and that was whether to believe Baron Eden's words or not.

Although there was some speculation before coming, the Mitchelsons may not want to be enemies of Three Rivers City, but now Baron Eden said it directly and openly, which made Claire a little suspicious.

Because in a month, there are too many variables.

Within a month, enough reinforcements from Erdo Castle had arrived in Virtar and maintained the occupation of Vitaland.

If a month later, Baron Eden is gone, in exchange for the main force of Erdo Castle, Claire will want to cry without tears.

Seeing Claire's silence, Baron Eden also understood Claire's concerns, and immediately said.

"I will never break my promise when I withdraw in a month, and not only that, but I assure you that the territories I occupy will not be handed over to the people of Erdo Castle, and that I will return them to you when I leave."

"What about the original territory of the Mitchelson family members, don't you want it too?" Claire was still hesitant.

"It seems that you don't understand it at all." Eden shook his head and patiently explained to Claire.

For the territory of the Mitchelson family in the Tilling River Valley, with the temperament of a big nobleman like Trois-Rivières, there is a high probability that they will compensate their family a large amount of money in the end, which is enough to buy a territory that is better than the original territory.

This style of doing things is in line with the style of dealing with the powerful baronial families of the great nobles.

After all, although you are a big nobleman, the relationship between the powerful baronial family is too complicated, and no one can figure out what will come out in the end.

Such examples abound in the history of the kingdom, and the most exaggerated one was the involvement of the three dukes and many members of the royal family. If there were no foreign enemies back then, and the king at that time was still wise and powerful, I am afraid that the kingdom would have disintegrated long ago.

With such a lesson from the past, the average nobleman will be very polite to the powerful baronial family. After all, the fact that someone else's family can always be strong as a baron family can only show one problem, that is, the family has many talents, and it is better to have one more enemy than one friend, so why bother to offend the other party.

Only Claire, who does what she wants, is not afraid of offending people.

After thinking about it, Claire decided to trust Eden. First, Eden has always had a good reputation, and he can't afford to ruin his reputation for such a trivial matter. Second, it is also the judgment that Claire insisted on before, the Mitchelson family does not want to go against Three Rivers City, otherwise the other party will have too many opportunities to expand the results of the battle, and they will not just stand still.

"Yes, I promise you, but you have to sign a contract with me."

Even if she chooses to believe the other party, Claire has not forgotten to be on the safe side.

"Contract? If we sign a contract and you expose it, what will the other nobles think of us in the future? ”

Baron Eden naturally refused to agree, and refused.

"Your Excellency is unwilling to sign a contract, is it trying to trick me?"

"What's the point of coaxing you, if I want to fight, at least half of this area is now in my hands."

"I don't know what contract your family has made with the Walter family, so if there is no contract, I can't trust you."

"Are you questioning my credibility?"

"No, I just believe in contracts more."

"Good!"

After a simple verbal exchange, Baron Eden readily agreed, and this scene was not expected by everyone present.

No, why did you agree so quickly, you want to say yes so quickly, why are you so serious just now, why do you say so much?

Claire took out a pen and paper from the storage ring, wrote quickly, and when she was done, handed the pen and paper to Baron Eden.

"Your Excellency, please take a look, and if there is no doubt, then sign it."

Baron Eden took the pen and paper, glanced at the contents, signed his name and handed it back to the other party.

"Satisfied?"

Baron Eden smiled unabated.

Claire didn't speak, and after carefully checking Baron Eden's signature, she carefully put the contract back into the storage ring and stretched out her hand towards the other party.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Baron Eden shook his head and continued to smile.

"What a realistic young man, happy to work with."

With the main event of this banquet completed, the time of this banquet has gradually come to an end, and in its place, Claire can already see some of the knights on both sides approaching.

It seems that this relatively long banquet has caused many people in the camps on both sides to worry, and soldiers have been sent to check it out.

The commander met outside, and if he was killed without knowing it, he was likely to be killed.

It's just that the worries of both sides are superfluous, Claire and Baron Eden are actually happy, and there is no unpleasantness, and the fire that some people imagine does not exist.

"It's not too early." Baron Eden got up with a smile, and as he moved, the other two followed suit.

Seeing the other party's movements and hearing the other party's words, Claire and the others didn't understand the intention, so they naturally stood up.

"It's really not too early."

"It was a great night."

"It's an honor to meet Baron Eden."

"Don't say that, I think you have a lot more potential than I am, maybe it's my honor to know you."

“......”

After another standard commercial blow, both sides went to their armies at the same time.

"Claire, a very interesting young man." As he walked towards the soldiers, Baron Eden commented.

"Your achievements in the future will not be low, and maybe your previous jokes will come true." Leonard also gave a high rating.

"So good?" Baron Eden was a little surprised.

"Dual-professional, intermediate-level, leading soldiers at such an age is not leaky, what do you think?"

"Dual-professional, interesting, there is an amazing talent in Three Rivers City."

"This is not necessarily a blessing for Trois-Rivières."

"Well, it's really rare that you just said this a little bit all night."
