Chapter 233, a Certainty
ps: Brothers, go to the front Kangkang, who canonized the protagonist as a baron, and who gave the protagonist a sword ceremony, is the king. In this case, of course, the king can theoretically command the protagonist (just in theory ).
ps2: The multi-heroine tone of this book is what I have set a long time ago. There is no need to ask the question of whether there is a harem or not. There are many books, and everyone will definitely find what they like.
"Ms... madam?" Earl Bonova called out almost subconsciously.
Although his face was obscured by the mist, as a believer of a lady, Earl Bonova would not fail to recognize the object of his faith since childhood.
For the knights of the Knight Kingdom, the belief of the Fairy in the Lake is engraved in their bones, and it is a belief branded deep in their souls.
"I don't agree!" The fairy of the lake came out from behind the castle with a dazzling light. Her cold and calm eyes made the king's special envoy kneel subconsciously. His hands trembled and he couldn't stop talking, hesitating : "I... my, female, ma'am?"
"I don't agree with any of these two king's decrees." The indifferent words of the fairy in the lake were like a biting cold wind blowing through Bonova's heart. She stretched out her hand, and the king's decree that fell on the ground flew into her hand: " Ryan is my champion, has Richard ever prayed to me? Asked for my opinion?"
In the eyes of everyone, the king's order was reduced to dust in the hands of the fairy in the lake.
The king's special envoy was pale, and he knelt like this, with his mouth open for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.
"Take your things back, Bonova, I need you to tell Richard that I personally allow what Ryan did." The fairy in the lake spoke coldly, and she said to the king's envoy lightly: "Or , Richard, he thinks I'm wrong?"
"No! No! Your Majesty has absolutely no such intention!" The king's special envoy was sweating profusely, and he knelt down in fear. Just for a moment, he seemed to see the anger hidden in the lady's eyes.
In this country, it is impossible for the king to deny the fairy of the lake, otherwise he would deny his own jurisprudence and the legitimacy of his rule.
The baron of Lane was conferred by Richard himself and performed the sword-holding ceremony. In theory, Lane is indeed under the direct jurisdiction of the king, but he is a subordinate of Duke Winford, and theoretically he is also under the management of Francois.
Kelian's most important identity is the God's Choice Champion of the Fairy of the Lake, which is the reason to make the Fairy of the Lake angry.
In the short contact, Francois immediately figured out the situation, everything was discussed with Ryan, but Richard still didn't understand,
He always thinks that Ryan is his vassal. As long as he issues orders, Ryan must obey, because gods belong to gods, and mortals belong to mortals.
The atmosphere in the hall was suffocating. The king's envoy was obsequious. His face was as white as paper and his body was soaked in sweat. Like a pug with a broken spine, he dared not say anything other than kowtow on his knees.
"Okay, you go back and tell Richard that he doesn't need to worry about Ryan's affairs. Doing his job well as a king is the best reward for me." The anger in the eyes flashed, and the fairy in the lake recovered. Seeing Gujing Wubo, she signaled Earl Bonova to get out.
When he came in, the haughty king's envoy withdrew like a stray dog. He could hardly walk clearly, like a drunken man. In the end, he almost crawled to the vicinity of the horses. His entourage supported him on the horse, and the earl's liver and gallbladder were broken. He tried to speak, but found that he could hardly make a sound, and he said angrily, "Let's go... let's go."
All the knights are eager to see a lady, but Earl Bonova never imagined that the first time he saw a lady was in such a situation. Thinking of the indifferent attitude of the fairy in the lake, the king's envoy felt that he was on the gallows. The neck was tightened by the rope, and then it shrank inch by inch, slowly walking towards death.
escape! run away! I never want to come to this place again in my life!
run away!
In this way, the strong horse led the king's special envoy and his party away in the evening.
An hour later, Baron Jean, the second floor of the fairy tower in the lake.
In the gorgeous and elegant inner room, the fairy of the lake sat on the main seat, and the holy grail that countless knights pursued all their lives was placed beside her. show in front of people.
There were only Ryan and Suria in the prayer room. The appearance of the goddess made Ryan's subordinates feel unbelievable. All the subordinates immediately knelt down to express their obedience. Come with her.
The Duke's daughter was a little uneasy. She wanted to kneel down, but the fairy in the lake smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, Suria, sit down."
"My lady, I..." The female knight was still very disturbed.
"Sit down, there is no need to be so restrained between me, Ryan and you, we are just like friends, drink tea, have some snacks, try it, I made it myself." The fairy in the lake smiled brightly. Lighting the inner room, she brought a plate of pastries with her own hands, and honey tea from the high elves.
"Sit down, Surya, it's okay." Ryan also held the hand of the female knight, and the champion of God's Choice said softly.
Only then did Surya settle down, the female knight held Ryan's hand tightly, and the two sat on one side of the table.
The moonlight outside the window entered the inner room, and the magic lights in the room showed a light yellow halo. Ryan put a piece of pastry into his mouth. After thinking twice, he said slowly: "A conspiracy, my lady, if it wasn't for you, I've now entered a dilemma."
"If I choose to agree, then my previous series of efforts will be in vain. My efforts to secure the territory, my efforts to build an army, and my efforts to recruit dwarves will all come to naught. I will lead an army of no more than a thousand The human expeditionary force went to the desert to chew sand and play hide-and-seek with those skeletons, and they might not be able to return for several years or even ten years."
"If I choose not to agree, then Richard has a direct reason to go to war with me." Ryan said in a deep voice: "Then I will definitely not be caught without a fight. The only answer is war. The Duke of Forte will be on the side of the king, and His Excellencies François and Boderick, who support me, will be on my side, so as long as there is a little accident, the civil war in the entire kingdom will begin."
Suria nodded silently. She looked at Ryan worriedly, and at the same time carefully looked at the fairy in the lake, wanting to hear what she had to say.
"Yes, this is Richard's plan, but I would like to add one more thing, that is Richard's personality, he will not want to start a civil war, he will continue to put pressure on you, I hope you can give in and admit your mistakes." The fairy in the lake stretched out a jade finger and pointed at Ryan: "At that time, because your confrontation alone caused the entire kingdom to fall into a crisis of civil war, my champion, Ryan, you will bear great pressure. When you admit your mistake and subdue Richard, you have achieved your goal."
Ryan nodded bitterly. He knew that if that happened, even if he won the civil war, the country would be ruined.
This is not what he wants.
After a moment of silence, Ryan continued: "I still don't understand why the king would target me like this."
"Richard is not targeting you, he is afraid of change, he is old, and his thinking is like a man in a cover." The fairy in the lake pulled her long golden hair back, held up her teacup, and said He gently tasted the honey tea of the high elves: "These people are hiding in their cages like frightened birds. He closes the door and locks the windows. Any movement will make him fear and uneasy. Ryan, your behavior has already It touched Richard's sensitive nerves, and they dare not act rashly with me here, but if you really plan...you'd better prepare early."
"I understand." Ryan has already thought about the way forward.
At this time, Suria spoke cautiously, and the female knight said sadly: "Actually, His Majesty Richard is the same when it comes to father's matter..."
The fairy in the lake looked at Suria who was sitting next to Ryan with interest. The female knight's appearance was outstanding even in the eyes of the goddess. She was even a little jealous, because the daughter of the duke in front of her had received Ryan's unreserved love.
As soon as the blue eyes rolled, the fairy in the lake knew that some things had to be settled as soon as possible. There were already a lot of women around Ryan. The Garland Council sent two witches. This was an obvious signal. Now Ryan is rising very fast. Fast, and the improvement in strength is eye-catching.
It's best for her to push forward many things quickly, and make sure that they are settled as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.
"I have a question, my champion, when do you and Surya plan to get engaged?" The fairy in the lake changed the subject and said with a smile on her face.
Suria's little hands tightened, and the female knight was almost shy. She was a devout believer of the fairy of the lake. When the fairy of the lake brought up this matter, she didn't know what to do. The white skin was flushed all over, and the sea-blue eyes were flustered: "That...my lady, I haven't told my father about this..."
"So what? Do you really think that Francois, your father, doesn't know? If he doesn't agree, you can run to Lane's castle all day? If he doesn't agree, Lane can go to Helen Hilde every time When I was there, I swaggered and went directly to the inner castle to find you?" The fairy in the lake had a serious face on her beautiful face: "I mean, you should make sure as soon as possible."
"Since it is a lady's oracle, I have no objection." The female knight lowered her head with a blushing face.
"What about your opinion, Ryan?" The pressure came to Ryan.
Suria immediately set her sights on Ryan. The female knight's expression was a little worried, but at the same time she couldn't help looking forward to it. From Marienburg to Britannia, the two have experienced a lot together, and they also express their feelings to each other. With her own mind, she is confident, especially with the support of the Fairy of the Lake.
"I have no objection, my lady, it's my honor." Ryan hardly thought about it, he and Suria smiled at each other and interlocked their fingers.
"Then put your engagement ceremony next year, and I will participate at that time." The fairy in the lake is very satisfied with the result: "That's it for today, Surya, I will stay here for a while, welcome Come and sit down at any time, my oracle will be sent out soon, and I will send Morgiana to arrange these things."
"Thank you very much! My lady!" The female knight saw that Ryan agreed, and her face could not stop emitting a moving brilliance. The female knight immediately stood up and bowed deeply to express her gratitude. She could hardly control herself. With the stability and dignity cultivated in the court education since then, Su Liya barely lost her composure, but her slightly trembling body exposed her thoughts.
The matter between her and Ryan has always been seen by Francois. The Duke himself is in favor of this marriage, because no matter from which point of view, Ryan is a temporary choice. In age and appearance, he was a perfect match for Suria.
François was particularly pleased that Lane was an orphan.
His adoptive father is far away in Nord, and his godfather is in the empire. Obviously, his daughter will not suffer any grievances if she marries, because Ryan does not have any elders here.
Don't underestimate this, it's very important, both the empire and Brittany are feudal countries, the nobles in the country are generally married, often forming an extremely complicated blood relationship and family network, intricately intertwined The marriage of nobles not only leads to generational confusion, but also easily causes the internal forces of the family to suppress foreign marriage partners.
Ryan has no problems in this aspect at all. He himself can be said to be a lord in Brittania alone. Ryan's territory is near the capital of the Principality. The Duke who loves his daughter can often see his daughter and support her. , Surya's life must be happy.
Why there has been no engagement, the main reason is that the duke still has some ideas. Francois has the idea of recruiting a son-in-law and wants to completely "incorporate" Ryan. He once asked Ryan if he would accept the recruitment and change his surname from Malcador aintree.
Ryan flatly refused: "My Duke, if you really understood my origin, you wouldn't ask this question."
Francois, who hit a soft nail, died down. Because of this, the Duke did not rush to propose an engagement, at least until the embarrassment of this matter passed. In recent months, female knights have rarely come to Ryan's side. reason.
Surya was almost certain that as soon as the lady issued the oracle, her wily father would take advantage of this heaven-sent opportunity to directly agree to it. She knew her father just like a father knew his daughter's mind.
…………
Coming out of the fairy tower in the lake, Su Liya almost fled on the Pegasus and galloped away. Ryan only thought it was a little funny, and at the same time, there was a burst of warmth in his heart: Indeed, there should be a home, a wife up.
The happy mood did not last for a few days, and the ranger Dais who defected to Ryan brought bad news two days before the Winter Veil Festival.
"My baron, Mu Xilong's vampire has changed, and the Red Duke is slowly and firmly building an army!"
"Call everyone here and start a meeting immediately!"
