Béral stopped his horse.

In the distance, at the end of the field of vision, a team of centaurs can be seen stopping on the main road. It was a large contingent of brightly armoured soldiers with flags fluttering, instantly recognizable as regular troops.

"Lord Beller, that's the Ryan troops! what are they doing here?" Robin's sharp eyes recognised the other party's flag.

"I want to ...... Could it be...... Come and welcome me?" Beleur smiled. He gestured to one of the guards beside him, who immediately mounted to meet him. Robin watched as the guards quickly approached the group, then turned around and ran back.

There was no need for anything else, just by seeing the movements of the guards, Beller had a conclusion.

"Looks like I'm really welcome. Belle Ha laughed. "Leto, that guy looks like he's really good at being a human being. ”

It was indeed a team that welcomed Beller, and it was Leto himself who led the team. Looking at Leto's amiable and laughing appearance in front of Beller, Robin felt very relieved. He still remembers the first time he met Leto, when Beller, as the acting governor of Mill City, greeted Leto very politely, while Leto treated Béller with lukewarm and extremely arrogant attitude.

Then again, whoever is a hero like Lord Belle has to admit his abilities, and whoever is there is to put down his shelf and be polite to him (at most, sooner or later). Although Robin had never seen Bayral command an army galloping across the battlefield, he had seen more of a strategy and victory than anyone he knew.

In this short period of one or two years, Robin has learned far more than he has learned in the ten years he has been at the Noble Academy.

"So, everything is already clear?" Beller asked.

"Of course, the magicians have already reported back what happened on the battlefield. Everything was indeed expected by General Bayral, and Damon, the great elder of the Bin tribe, defected, which directly led to the annihilation of the Bin tribe's entire army. Leto replied. He smiled heartily. "It seems that the preparations I prepared before have not worked at all, and it is really a waste of work. ”

"What about Kadasa? I miss that fellow, stupid and greedy, and there aren't many people who can combine these two good qualities. ”

"Ha Luha, I'm afraid Your Excellency General is going to be disappointed. According to the news, the guy seems to have been captured after the last resort, and when he begged the vampire for mercy, the vampire directly tore his throat and drank blood. ”

Leto was very happy, and his joy was palpable. This is true not only of him, but of the retinue and officials around him. This is a very big victory for the Ryan people. It didn't take them a single soldier to completely wipe out the long-standing trouble of their henchmen. If they had known this, they would have begged to deliver Sivania to the vampires, even if it was something else.

"Your Excellency," suggested one of the nobles who followed Leto, "let's hurry up." The Duke has prepared a table of good dishes for you in his castle, and at the same time congratulated you on your great success and successfully solved the great trouble of the Bin. ”

The guests and hosts marched sideways in laughter, laughing and talking about the stupidity of the Bin, while advancing towards the castle in the distance.

This feast was really sumptuous. Although Robin was not qualified to serve at the main table, he still enjoyed an extremely sumptuous meal in the place next to him to entertain the servants. He propped his belly up with gravy, sausages, fish and bird pies, and leaned against the railing to watch the clowns, bards and dancers put on a show.

The best show in the audience was a dwarf acrobatics. The dwarf, who was only half the height of Robin, actually stepped on the empty barrel that was rolling around under his feet, and threw fifteen oranges in his hand without landing on the ground. This wonderful performance won the long-lasting applause and generous rewards of the nobles on the field.

The last show of the banquet was a dancer dressed in a light veil dancing to the music. The dancer's movements are not fast, and her dancing posture is not difficult, so it stands to reason that she is far worse than a dwarf. But there is a kind of attraction in her that Robin can't explain, can't contain. Looking at the woman's figure wearing only a light veil and teasing and exaggerated movements, he couldn't help but blush and heartbeat. Robin obviously lowered his head and didn't dare to look, but he couldn't help but keep sneaking a few glances.

The feasts and revelries continued until dark. After a long day of partying, Robin was tired, but when he lay in his room, he was surprised to find that he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, and his mind was full of scenes, either the words Bayral had said to him, or the time in the barracks, and the graceful dancer today.

Robin climbed up. This is a method he learned a long time ago, if he can't sleep on something, he will go out for a short walk. This has always been his magic weapon.

Beller didn't live next door to him, but in a distant room somewhere Robin didn't know what to do. The reason for this is that Robin is visiting the castle for the first time and is very unfamiliar with it. Leto, whether intentionally or unintentionally, arranged his room from Beller's at a great distance.

Without a clear goal, he strolled down the aisle at random. Robin remembers very well that at the end of this walk was the courtyard. The castle is not a military fortress, but the kind of livable castle that flaunts the wealth and taste of its owner, so the courtyard is a large garden. As he passed by during the day, he saw several rare local flower species.

"What about the vampires?" said a voice from a room on the side. The word "vampire" immediately caught Robin's attention, and he couldn't help but look towards the room, just in time to see a ray of light leaking through the crack in the door.

By this time it was late. Because of the day's drinking and revelry, the host and guests in the castle were tired. Except for the outliers like Robin, who can't sleep, only a few sentinels on duty should still be awake. It should be. But the light revealed in the crack in the door and the sound of the conversation just now indicate that the people inside are not insomnia, but have something to discuss.

It's so late, what are you talking about?, Robin stood on tiptoe curiously, walked cautiously, and leaned against the door to listen. At this time, there was silence all around, and although the voice of the person talking was not loud, Robin at the door could hear it clearly.

“...... Details are unknown. But according to the news brought by our eyeliner, it is clear that there have been considerable losses, and the losses are all elite troops, not useless zombies and the like. ”

"It makes sense...... But he did not kill the Bins to replenish his forces...... Is there any particular reason for this?"

The speaker's voice was familiar, and the next second Robin remembered who the speaker really was—it was Leto, the owner of the castle, the prince and duke of the Ryan Kingdom. And judging from the sound of breathing and other small noises, there was not just one or two people in the room, but a meeting with a considerable number of participants.

“...... Judging from his disposition of the Bin clan afterwards, this may have been a means for him to buy people's hearts...... According to our spies, Damon and several of his allies have indeed saved their tribe. They will migrate as vampire subjects and subordinates to the lands reserved by the vampires. ”

"I thought the vampires would take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the Hama Clan. Leto seemed to say casually.

"Your Excellency, you are wrong about this. The vampire is not so crazy and unreasonable, and the defenders who surrendered to him before have all survived. The mercenaries even turned to his hiring. Someone replied.

"Looks ...... It's not easy...... That vampire is cunning enough and powerful enough......" Leto's tone and content were diametrically opposed. His words seemed to have some scruples about vampires, but his tone was full of arrogance and contempt for vampires.

"But if you can defeat the vampires and reclaim Sivania, you'll be a great hero that everyone in the country knows about. When the time comes, it's about you...... The fact that the two Lesser Dukes inherited your different titles and territories is probably not something to be disputed. ”

By the way, Lord Béral said that Leto was the king's cousin or cousin, and that he was already a certain distance from the royal family in terms of blood, and his descendants should not be able to get the title of "prince". It is important to know that the title "Prince" actually represents the right of inheritance. When the king has no direct descendants to inherit the throne, the "prince" is the successor to the throne. Robin pondered. Leto sounds ambitious, wanting one son to inherit the title of "Prince" on the one hand, and another son to inherit the title of Duke on the other.

"Actually, if you just stop like this...... "I don't know who suggested it. "Sweeping away the Binzu at a small price has solved the trouble of our country's henchmen. Your credit is already great enough to go down in history. ”

"Nonsense, victory is at your fingertips ahead, like fruit hanging from the branches of the roadside, how can it stop at this time? Now that the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf has been successful, the Binzu have perished, and the undead army of vampires has also suffered a major blow. On the contrary, our army has been recuperating. This is a great fighter plane that is hard to find in a lifetime......" someone encouraged with the effort of a lotus flower.

"I'm afraid that His Majesty the King won't necessarily have the Duke as commander in this battle. Another voice said. "I'm afraid this matter will have to be considered in the long run. ”

The others were talking, but Robin didn't listen any further, he now reckoned that he was at the back door of one of the castle's conference rooms. A secret meeting was being held, and he was lying here eavesdropping. It wouldn't be nice if someone found out. Although it will not cause any diplomatic turmoil, it will definitely make Lord Bayral unable to step down.

Robin tiptoed away from the door. Now he realized that this conference room actually had more than one side door, and there was a door in front of it, so he could infer that there were one or two doors on the other side of the room.

He inadvertently took a few steps around the corner, where there was no door, but a large window...... Wait! What is that? Robin clearly saw a dark figure lying by the window.

Robin rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then he recognized the identity of the dark shadow who was eavesdropping at the window—it was dimly lit, but the familiarity of the years of contact told him the truth. It was Béral who was eavesdropping there.

Why is Lord Bayral here?, Robin didn't have time to think more, and immediately walked towards Bayor's side.

He moved too fast, and he didn't hide it, so that Bayral, even though he was eavesdropping, immediately noticed him.

"Robin?!" Beller exclaimed in a low voice.

"My lord, what are you doing here?"

"I'm in a hurry to find a toilet!" Belle took a few steps back, away from the window, and into a safe position. "Passing by here...... That's all. What's the matter, Robin, what's the problem?"

Sometimes Robin couldn't figure out whether Baylor was open-minded or shameless.
