In the backyard of Fort Kawar, gravel paths dot the yard among the dense clusters of flowers, and in the middle of the night, in the faint light of the fire, two young men and women stroll hand in hand on the paths between the clusters of flowers.

"I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful place inside this cold city wall. Erin Fielder's eyes narrowed, greedily breathing in the faint scent of flowers in the air.

"Is it true that in your eyes nobles only look at armor and swords?" Pedi turned his head to look at the woman beside him, with a dreamy mist in his gaze, and he only felt that it all seemed so unreal now.

At this moment, the engagement has become a fact, and if there are no accidents, the woman in front of him will become his wife in the near future.

Wife?

Although Pedi had several women in his previous life, he had never been married, and the word 'wife' was very foreign to him, and he didn't even think about what his family would be like.

In the Locke Empire, from the imperial family to the ordinary poor, they all attached great importance to the family, and even many aristocratic families in the empire regarded 'family and responsibility' as their family motto.

Family Responsibilities?

There was a bit of confusion in Pedy's mind.

Just as Pedi was thinking nonsense, Erin Fielder pulled out her arm and walked two quick steps to one of the densest flower clusters, she took a deep breath of the floral fragrance and said, "Isn't it? By the way, you call this 'honor', war is the most direct way for nobles to gain honor. ”

Pedi was momentarily speechless for Erin Phil's words.

Elein continued: "Within the Empire, nobles would even wage war against each other over a momentary quarrel to plunder the wealth of each other's territories and kill each other's people... You, on the other hand, would call this a "defense of honor," but in my opinion, the nobility is nothing more than a bunch of robbers with legal status. ”

"Very special remarks. Pei Di was not angry, but looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, he could hardly imagine that those words would come out of the mouth of the princess of the mage tower just now, "If you don't want to be cursed by those nobles in the days to come, it's best to let these words be limited to you and me,"

A strange glint flashed between Erin Field's blue eyes as she looked at Pedy, and she wondered that Pedi would talk to her calmly after hearing such remarks, in fact, she had already regretted those words as soon as she said them.

The enchanting scenery and comfortable air made her unconsciously relaxed, and after relaxing, she spoke much more casually, so she blurted out words that shouldn't be said.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" said Pedy, gently holding the most dazzling white orchid in the flower cluster.

"A lot of people say you're a genius, a natural commander. Erin Phil stared at the ice orchid that Pei Di was gently holding, "You are indeed a little different... A high-minded but calm and peaceful attitude makes people feel reassured, but at the same time, it can be very scary and scared. ”

"So, what about you, are you relieved or afraid?"

"Huh. Erin Phier chuckled, "I can imagine what your vassals are doing every day. ”

"Haha. Pedi laughed, "I think I can understand what you mean, your words remind me of a sentence, as if it was... By the way, 'the smile of the ruler is accompanied by fear'. ”

Opening words of the prologue of the General History of the Empire. Erin Phil and Pedi looked at each other.

"Have you read The General History of the Empire?" Pedi was surprised, after all, girls don't usually like this kind of book.

"You seem surprised?"

"Of course, it was very unexpected... I was surprised that we were able to share a common hobby. ”

"Haha. Eileen Fil suddenly felt a little funny.

Pedi didn't know why Erin Phier suddenly let out a strange laugh, and he continued: "If you know about the nobility through the General History of the Empire, then I am not surprised by what you just said, after all, the author of this book is full of preconceptions about the Empire, and if it were not for the broad mind of Archduke Partved, The General History of the Empire would not have been published at all. ”

Eileen Phil shook her head noncommittally: "We owe it to Archduke Patveld for keeping Alfes Rodon's book alive so that we can read it three hundred years later." ”

"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the General History of the Empire, I just think you should be more objective about what the nobility does. Peidi subconsciously retorted: "None of us can decide our own fate, I don't deny the greed and selfishness of the nobles, but we never shirk our duties, and you..."

Speaking of this, Pei Di suddenly closed his mouth, because, if the two of them continue to talk, the conversation between the two may end here!

And Erin Phil was smart enough not to ask about it.

Then, the two began to fall into an awkward silence.

"Gollum"

In the silence, a soft sound was particularly abrupt.

It was Erin Field, who was a little hungry, after all, she had barely eaten anything from morning to now except for that glass of wine.

The scene was even more awkward.

"Maybe we should go to the gazebo next to it and rest for a while. "As the owner and a man, Peidi naturally needs to take the initiative to take the 'burden' of resolving the embarrassment.

"Is the scenery as beautiful as it is here?" said Erin Filler, who naturally needed to take advantage of the situation.

"Of course, I swear. Pedi nodded, "But you're more beautiful, Miss Erin Field." ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Erin Fil smiled and took Pedy's arm again, "So, what are you waiting for, I'm just trying to rest for a while." ”

The embarrassment was easily resolved, but the differences in the two philosophies took time to resolve.

By the time the two of them wandered the gravel path again, the sky above Fort Kawar was already full of stars.

In the southeast corner of the flower cluster in the backyard, there is an arched stone pavilion... The environment that had been changed by night was later restored by Pedi and Erin Field.

Of course, not only was there a bright fire, but at the same time, at the beckon of Pei Di to the maids in the surrounding corridors, fragrant black tea and various pastries were soon placed on the stone table in the pavilion.

"This is the best dessert I've ever had. When a piece of brown sugar pastry was served, Erin Phier sincerely appreciated it.

Pedi just smiled, he waved the maid away, and then personally served a cup of black tea on Erinfeel's Island, "Mother said that this black tea tastes good, although I can't feel it." ”

"This fragrance is supposed to be the special Sulu black tea of the Klicker Islands, which only goblins have. Erin Field's blue eyes sparkled, "This black tea goblin is rarely exported for trade, and now is the time of war, it is almost impossible to appear here." ”

"This is my trophy. Pedi shrugged.

"Poor goblins. Erin Phiel chuckled, "But I owe a debt of gratitude to the 'poor goblins'. ”

"Goblins don't deserve pity, they..."

"Brother Pedi!" a crisp voice suddenly remembered interrupted the conversation between the two.

Peddy was familiar with the voice, it was Phyllis, his youngest sister.
