Chapter 400: Twilight in the Kingdom of Tiran
Sophia, who had a good time, was called back to the family dinner by Eberson, but when she returned to Fort Glamorgan, she was confused.
"What's wrong?"
David looked at Sophia's embarrassed expression, it was like the winter vacation was over today but the homework was not written at all, and he didn't know how to deal with the homeroom teacher tomorrow.
Seeing Davy asking, Sophia stopped talking and stopped, and changed her expression several times, and finally didn't say a word.
Seeing her like this, David knew that it was inconvenient for him to ask.
Fortunately, there are many people around, whether it is Eva, Helen or Laura, who can ask Sophia instead of herself.
About an hour later, David, who was drinking tea and reading a book in his office, got an answer from Laura.
"Sophia was urged by her parents to have a baby."
"Huh?" David was stunned for a moment before he reacted, Sophia was urged to have a baby, isn't it just urging herself to have a baby in disguise?
"This is also normal, Sophia and you are very special, especially at this point in time when you are about to inherit the throne, if Sophia can get pregnant at this time, Eberson may feel much less stressed."
No matter how many reasons you comfort yourself in your heart and find yourself a reason, it is an indisputable fact that Ebelson will become the fallen king of the Kingdom of Tiran.
If Sophia can give birth to an heir for David, then she can also 'tell herself' that the kingdom of Tiran still exists, but under a different name.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint His Majesty."
David spread his hands, although he could understand the other party's thoughts, but there was really no way to solve this problem by himself.
As his strength continued to improve, he became more aware of his physical condition, and David gradually understood why he was unable to successfully produce offspring.
But knowing where the problem is does not mean that he has the ability to solve it, according to the information he currently has, it is quite difficult and troublesome for him to create a real offspring.
"Explain my situation to Sophia! Indirectly, he told Eberson not to worry about it anymore. David looked at Laura.
Although it was only a glance, the two had developed enough tacit understanding over the years that Laura immediately understood what David meant: "I'll just go and talk to Sophia...... Speaking of which, should you tell her the truth later? ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Because Sophia's mother came up with a good idea for her precious daughter after hearing that Lord Duke is so talented and powerful that Sophia can't bear it at all."
Rosie learned from her daughter that it wasn't that Sophia didn't work hard, it was really David who was too a beast, and if Sophia asked David to do those things every day, whether she could conceive a child or not would be discussed, Sophia would probably be cold at this time.
After careful questioning, after knowing that it was not Sophia's own combat effectiveness that was too bad, Rosie finally understood why there were several women beside the Duke of Glamorgan, but these women could get along well without any conflicts.
It turns out that everyone can eat to their heart's content, and there is no need to fight at all.
After thinking about it, Queen Rosie came up with a clever plan for her daughter: call her friends to attack her, wait for the opportunity to grab the final blow, and strive to exchange the least consumption for the most results!
This tactic is not unusual, if it is safer to use a trusted maid than to find an outsider, but presumably ordinary maids can't attract the duke, so Sophia can only be used to woo the other women around David.
After Sophia listened to her mother's advice, she was stunned.
I have the intention to refute this method as ridiculous, but I can't think of a better solution.
At least my mother's advice sounded reliable, but I was too ashamed or something......
Mother's words: "With the quality that David shows, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, maybe it will happen long ago when you don't know it." She couldn't even open her mouth to refute.
So Sophia was in this kind of 'Do you want to get out of the way?' He returned to Fort Glamorgan, and told Laura, Eva, and Helen, who cared about him, about the situation.
This is also her mother's suggestion, anyway, everyone is not short of meat to eat, it is better to discuss it with those people, so Sophia directly explained the situation clearly, and even the idea was from her mother.
"Don't say I don't think about you, you can ...... first Uh-huh~ and then tell Sophia the truth. ”
“……”
David looked at Laura speechlessly: You are so excited, I can't believe your words!
However, I have to admit that this suggestion is too appealing! Does this count as a pit Sophia? Alas~ My family members make a little joke with each other, which is also a way to increase feelings~
So from this day on, Sophia stayed in David's room permanently, and Sophia, who worked hard every day until her stomach was bloated, did not realize that she had been working in vain for so many days until Gwen came over.
Sophia, who realizes that she has been cheated, says that she wants everyone to experience the 'suffering' she has suffered, so David and Laura are happier and happier.
Time passed in this chaos, and by the time Sophia found that the so-called revenge would only make her worse and chose to let go of her grievances, the northern plains had become verdant.
Farmers began their new year's crops, and Mark Watney began to wander around the northern plains to check out the environment.
The Knights of Tiran and the Legion of Winter fought the elves in the Iron Tree Forest, and as the war progressed, the members of the Knights of Tiran had gradually mastered the knack of fighting in the forest.
Under Sylvanas' high-pressure training, hunters with arcane energy began to appear in the Knights of Tiran, and although there were not many of them, it was a good start.
Coupled with the new equipment that has been officially named the North Wind Light Armor and the North Wind Heavy Load, the Knights of Tiran have begun to gradually penetrate into the Iron Tree Forest, and the battle situation has shifted from the initial 'stalemate' phase to the counteroffensive phase.
More than half of the paladins in the Winter Knights have learned the Holy Light.
Everything was going in a good direction, and what surprised David the most was the emissary sent by the Lord of Irontree Castle, Marquis Dudley Morgan, who made it very direct that Marquis Dudley Morgan would swear allegiance to the new king, His Majesty David Glamorgan.
With half a year to go before the fall deadline, the Marquis Dudley-Morgan seemed a little anxious?
But as the summer progressed and more and more emissaries from all over the Kingdom of Tiran arrived in the Northern Plains, David discovered that the Marquis of Dudley-Morgan was not too early to arrive.
"It's strange that the lords of the Kingdom of Tiran are so knowledgeable about current affairs?"
Although these envoys from all over the country did not directly represent their own lords and directly expressed their loyalty to David, the meaning of currying favor was still very obvious.
When David officially takes over the throne and begins to take over the various territories, these lords will most likely not resist when facing the army of Winterfell.
"Speculators are not uncommon in any era."
Sutton-Stewart didn't think it was anything unusual, because he saw through the situation of these people at a glance.
As a nobleman of high status and status in the Kingdom of Tiran, and the younger brother of the queen, the Earl of Sutton-Stewart is very suitable to serve as an emissary.
He was responsible for sending proclamations to the entire territory of the Kingdom of Tiran.
Sutton also knew enough about the situation of the lords in various parts of the Tiran Kingdom, and saw through the fact that these envoys who came to the northern plains were all sent by some weak and barren lords.
Among them, there are even down-and-out lords who fought with their neighbors and lost their territories, and want to come to ask the new king to uphold justice.
The lords who had vast and rich territories, had sufficient troops, or had simply rebelled, did not come to Winterfell in person or send emissaries.
Even some lords of average strength, but relatively far away, did not take David, the Duke of Glamorgan, who was about to inherit the throne, seriously.
To put it simply, even if all these emissaries or lords swear allegiance to David, then their territory is just a bunch of specks on the map, not only has no practical value, but the map will become very ugly.
"The only lord who is truly of great value to the soon-to-be-founded Winter Kingdom is Marquis Dudley-Morgan of Irontree."
The most important lords of the Kingdom of Tiran were the Marquis of Dudley-Morgan, the Marquis of Pryor-Otto, and the Marquis of Ingram-Forbel, who were in charge of guarding the borders.
These three marquis are located in the Iron Tree Fort in the north, White Rock City in the south, and Dragon Fort in the east.
As for the west of the Kingdom of Tiran, because there are no strong enemies and it is next to the barren Lost Land, the land itself is not rich, so it is controlled by several earls and lords.
In addition, several earls and lords around the royal capital were more important - these counts also did not send envoys to the northern plains.
White Rock City in the south has been taken by the Temple.
Marquis Dudley-Morgan of Irontree in the North has made it clear that he will be loyal to him.
However, the Marquis of Furbel, who was sitting in the east, never expressed his position, and he didn't know what he thought?
Sutton Stewart did not even meet the Marquis when he delivered the letter, supposedly to put down a rebellion in the surrounding area.
"This Marquis of Ferbel, the rebellion he wants to put down the most is actually me, right?"
Sutton smiled and didn't speak, and although he often gave people the impression of being unreliable, he knew when to joke and when to be silent.
He has survived to this day not only because of his background and blood relatives.
Of course, it would be great if it was for Sophia's sake and let herself rest for a while.
Unfortunately, that is impossible, although he is named the deputy head of the Knights of Tiran, the de facto commander, but all the members of the Knights of Tiran, who are currently in training, have to listen to Sylvanas, and Earl Sutton-Stewart is no exception.
Next, he was back in the barracks for training.
Sutton wasn't going to be lazy, as the day was approaching for Winterfell to launch a counter-offensive against the Temple, and he was the first to storm White Rock.
