Chapter 182: Beautiful Queen Caranser
"I came all the way from Virginma, but I didn't expect to see you in prison, Geralt, you always surprise me!"
After rescuing Geralt and Dandrion from prison, Wayne seized the opportunity and immediately said in a teasing tone:
"As a demon hunter, the famous white wolf Geralt was caught by the city guards who rushed over when he was fighting with ordinary people."
"Hehe, if you tell Lambert and Askell about this, the two of them will definitely be interested."
As a senior, being teased like this by the juniors he brought out, even Geralt, who was very thick-skinned, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he looked at Dandrien, who was whistling, as if it was none of his business, and immediately shook the pot and said:
"It's all Dandrien, after this guy got into trouble, he came to drink with me, but someone else came with a group of people to make trouble, but he was already drunk like a dead corpse, let me take the pot."
"I can't leave him and run, and the city guards will surround us."
Wayne guessed that this was probably the case, so he glanced at Dandrien, who had been in prison for three days and looked rather embarrassed.
Facing the gaze of the two witchers, the poet was also a little embarrassed, he pretended that he still had a lute in his hand, and after playing it a few times in the void, he defended himself and said:
"I can't really be blamed for that, Madame Livita didn't expect her husband to come back in the afternoon, and although I explained to her husband that we were just practicing opera, the rude man didn't believe me at all."
"No one could have imagined that he would find a group of mercenaries to harm a bard, how barbaric."
When Geralt heard this, he didn't save face for Dandrion at all, and said in a mocking tone:
"If any man comes home and sees his wife practicing opera in bed with a bard, and doesn't beat you to death on the spot, he's already sane enough."
Dandrion knew that he was wrong, and he blushed a little, but he still defended:
"We are for art, we are discussing opera, artists, ordinary people don't understand."
Sure enough, this guy had a married woman, Wayne didn't bother to complain, he took the two back to the hotel Geralt rented, and was imprisoned for three days, both of them were already hungry enough, and no matter how rough the food in this hotel was, he immediately ate and drank a lot of food.
After a full meal, Wayne also formally asked Geralt about the details of this commission.
As a result, Geralt shook his head and said:
"I don't know the specifics, Yennefer and I have been staying in Novigre for the past few months, but suddenly I received an invitation from Queen Caranser of Sintra, saying that there is a commission that I need to execute, and the content is to ensure the normal holding of a banquet."
"Ye Naifa did not prevent me from carrying out this royal commission, and asked me to invite you to carry it out together, so I sent you that letter before I left."
Speaking of this, Geralt glanced at Dandrion rather helplessly, and continued:
"Who knew that after coming here, Queen Carantor was not going to see me at all, and let me enter the castle where the banquet was held on the morning of the day."
"As a result, when I was wandering around the city, I ran into this guy Dandrien, and you know what happened next."
Wayne nodded when he heard this, tilted his head to look at Dandrien, I don't know how this guy came to Sintra, I have the impression that in the original story, he participated in this banquet. There was indeed a bard, but it was not Dandrien, who had not even graduated from college.
When the poet's classmate saw Wayne looking at him, he immediately smiled at the corner of his mouth, picked up the lute that the innkeeper had put away for him, and Balabala talked about the prelude to a piece of music, and without waiting for Wayne to ask, he took the initiative to say:
"I heard from a noble friend that the beautiful princess of Sintra, Princess Pavita, was at the banquet."
"If any man is lucky enough to be chosen by Princess Pavita, then he has a good chance of becoming the king of Sintra directly and ruling this powerful country."
"How can I be absent from such a grand occasion."
When Dandrion finished speaking, Geralt immediately said mockingly, saying:
"Dandrien, this Princess Paveta's wedding banquet is not an ordinary party held by a noble family."
"The venue for this banquet is in the royal palace in Sintra, and you can't get in without an invitation to the banquet."
When Dandrion heard this, he immediately smiled proudly, played a piece of music in the style of Skellig with the lute in his hand, and said:
"Don't underestimate me, Geralt, the main target of Princess Pavita's wedding banquet is the children of the lord's family of the Skellig Islands, or a prince of a subject of Sintra, and this is a political marriage for the sake of alliance."
"I've made friends with Skellig's group of young nobles, and they'd love to have a bard who can play Skellig's music to join them at this feast."
"If you don't have an invitation to the banquet, I can even take you to the banquet for a good meal."
Wayne shrugged his shoulders at this, Dandrion has always been very sociable, and he has always been able to make friends with many people, which is one of the reasons why he can appear on various important occasions.
After listening to the explanations of the two, Wayne looked at Geralt and asked bluntly:
"So, Geralt, when is the feast? And in what capacity are you attending this banquet? ”
Geralt squinted his eyes and took a sip of the tavern's inferior beer, his ability to spend money should not be underestimated, and after only a few months, he had already spent almost all the huge remuneration he received from Vane, most of which was contributed to the brothels of the North.
"Queen Claranther has arranged for me to be Lavix of Clarion City, an unknown nobleman, and you can be my attendant and join me at the banquet when the time comes."
As Geralt's voice fell, Wayne's ears finally heard the system prompt of the mission.
Bite! Quest trigger, [Princess's Wedding Banquet], Master, do you want to take the quest?
After hearing the system prompt, Wayne did not rush to watch the content of the mission, he looked at the surroundings of the hotel with some disgust, then stood up and said to Dandrien and Geralt:
"Let's go, let's get a better hotel, this kind of place doesn't look like a place where nobles would live."
………………
Not to mention, how the two of them led by Lord Wayne spent a night in Sintra City, and on the day of the banquet, Dandrien himself went to Skellig's noble group, partnered with Skellig's young nobles, and mixed into the banquet.
Wayne, on the other hand, followed Geralt and entered the royal palace in Sintra with the invitation to the banquet.
Because of the company of Wayne this time, the two of them had already cleaned up their image at the best barber shop and clothing store in the city before attending the banquet.
So even though the palace governor Haxel looked around them for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong, and finally just took out two exquisite and luxurious noble blouses and handed them to Geralt and Wayne, and on the chest of the blouse, a special noble badge was sewn with gold needle and thread, showing their noble status.
The royal palace of Sintra is a luxurious castle built on the remains of elves, and the overall reference to the style of human architecture is sturdy and beautiful.
When Wayne and Geralt, led by the governor Haxel, enter the lavish banquet hall, they successfully meet the most powerful woman in the country, Queen Caranther, from the main seat of the banquet hall.
This is a tall, beautiful woman, unlike most aristocratic ladies, even at this kind of aristocratic banquet, Queen Caransor still wears a fine armor similar to an evening gown, and every time she speaks, she will look directly into the eyes of her interlocutor, from her eyes to her manners, every move reveals a tenacious and confident temperament, and indeed lives up to the reputation of the lioness.
Although the queen is already a widow in her thirties, her beauty is still spread among the northern kingdoms, and is highly sought after by many nobles, and her beauty is also known for her bravery and iron fist.
It is said that when the queen was fourteen years old, her father died, Caranser ascended to the throne at the age of fourteen, and at the age of fifteen, she led her army to defeat Nasser's army at the Battle of Haucebuz, winning her first battle and earning the nickname "Sintra Lioness".
Unfortunately, there was no queen in the laws of the Kingdom of Sintra, and if a woman wanted to be in charge, she had to marry a man, and even with the strong and iron-blooded character of Queen Caranse, she could not violate the laws of the country, and at the age of seventeen, she married the handsome former king, Duke Rognar de Salme.
After that, although the Duke of Rogner became the king on the surface, the actual power of the country was still in the hands of Queen Caranser.
In order to be able to maintain the power of the country in the hands of her family, Queen Carransor has always wanted to give birth to a son, but God did not do what she wanted, and after giving birth to Princess Paveta, Queen Caranthor had two miscarriages and finally lost her fertility.
And because of this, King Rogner began to pursue other fertile women, which put Queen Caranthor's position in jeopardy.
As a result, it didn't take long for the King of Rogner to die suddenly, and it is unknown whether it was due to an accident or a man-made death.
And it was precisely because of the struggle for power between the noble council and Queen Caranther that Princess Pavita was forced to hold a marriage banquet at the age of fifteen to re-elect a male king for the country.
Recalling the information they had received from the well-informed Dandrien, Wayne and Geralt arrived at Queen Caranthor under the guidance of the palace steward.
After a slight salute, Queen Caranther withdrew from a few of her attendants, first earnestly Geralt for a few seconds, and then looked at Wayne behind him, and then asked with some confusion:
"White wolf Geralt, I should have invited you alone, who is this young man behind you?"
When Geralt heard this, he still said in a hoarse voice with the paralyzed expression of his face when he was doing normal business:
"This is my companion, Wayne the Witcher, who is also a skilled and powerful witcher."
Queen Caranther frowned slightly, looking at Wayne's handsome and somewhat immature face, as if she didn't trust Wayne's strength a little.
But soon, the queen eliminated the superfluous thoughts in her heart, nodded to Wayne and Geralt, and then pointed to the two seats beside her, and said:
"Two witchers? It's also safer. ”
"As soon as the banquet begins, you two will sit next to me and act as I command you to do at any time."
"When I tell you to do it, do it right away."
When Geralt heard this, he was not afraid of Queen Caranther's power at all, and said directly:
"We witchers have our own standards of conduct, and we don't follow other people's orders."
"If your order is contrary to our principles, please forgive me for not doing so."
Listening to Geralt's tough answer, Wayne, who was standing behind him, almost couldn't help but cover his forehead and laughed.
Geralt deserves to be Geralt, I am afraid that in this Middle Ages, when the aristocratic power was the most powerful, only a person like him dared to openly disobey the king's orders, and did not hesitate at all.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of the principles that White Wolf adheres to in his heart that he has always been able to make the right choice and become the protagonist of the story that many people like very much.
If it were him to do it, even if he wanted to refuse, he would not choose such a blunt and conflict-prone way at all.
Sure enough, after listening to Geralt's hard answer, Queen Carranthor glared at her beautiful eyes, and a trace of anger appeared on her beautiful face, as if she were an enraged lioness, and said:
"You're off a royal nobleman, a witcher, and your body will be carried out by my guards at the first command."
"I pay, you do things, you don't need to care what I tell you to do, this is the attitude you should have in the face of employers."
If it was facing others, maybe she would be frightened by the queen's momentum, but unfortunately she was facing Geralt, who ate soft and not hard, and the famous white wolf just shrugged his shoulders and said in an indifferent tone:
"Then you should invite a mercenary to this banquet, not a witcher."
"Only those who take the money to do things will be like dogs, obeying the orders of their employers."
After hearing Geralt's answer, even Wayne behind him felt that this guy was indeed underbeaten, not to mention that there were never many people who dared to resist her Queen Caranthor.
Seeing that the queen's plump breasts were lying together, and she looked very angry, Wayne, who was afraid that she would suddenly kill her, immediately walked up to Geralt's side, smiled and said to the queen:
"Dear Queen Caranse, please forgive Geralt for her rudeness."
"As a witcher, it's our duty to protect the good guys who are hurt by monsters."
"As long as this principle is not violated, many things are negotiable."
Hearing this, Caranther carefully looked at the young and handsome witcher in front of him again, and then glared at Geralt fiercely with his eyes, and was about to open his mouth to continue speaking, when the guard guarding the gate of the banquet hall suddenly shouted:
"Friends of the royal family of Sintra, King Easter Turseck of Skellig have arrived."
