I have a shelter
Chapter 245: Pride and Respect
Layton covered his head and said: "You underestimate these guys a little too much. Although these lords of Luoye City were all latecomers, they also participated in the subsequent encirclement and suppression battles. If you could have seen their bravery at that time, I’m sure I wouldn’t say that.”
After saying this, he looked at Volp not far away and the silent black-armored knight beside him, with an extremely complicated expression in his eyes.
Those knights were extremely arrogant, so arrogant that it was unreasonable! Even the Griffin Knights seemed like they were just chickens and dogs in their eyes. As for those lords, in the eyes of these knights, they didn't even bother to show their disdain.
As for what is noble or not - they are just like watching a bunch of bull shit performing in front of their eyes.
I am afraid that only the Black Pearl knights around Elizabeth would despise other nobles so much - in the eyes of the real Black Pearl nobles, other nobles are all countrymen.
Looking down on each other is a common problem. But the Black Pearl Knights do have such arrogant capital.
"Of course, it is indeed incomparable to the Black Pearl Knights, but how many people in the world can guard the mines like my cousin, be vassals and be brave and good at fighting? The Earl of Black Pearl's army is comparable to the Royal Corps in every standard."
Earl Leiden's tone was slightly sour, remembering that when his uncle was here, the knights and vassals under the Earl had indeed left a deep impression on his mother-in-law's family, the nobles of the Kingdom of Elda. .
The valley borders Eldar, and there is often some friction at the edges. The Lord of Bianhe decades ago was very famous.
Looking at the equipment equipped by these three thousand people, there was a hint of envy in his eyes - compared to these soldiers, the colorful noble private soldiers walking in front were indeed like a group of country bumpkins.
He said: "I know that compared with the real elite troops, these lords' armies are still far behind. However, Robert was turned over by me. After his griffin knights arrived, the other elite troops of the kingdom also came quickly. Tower Nia, that’s quite a coincidence.”
At this point, what Layton wanted to say was already beyond his words. He looked at his sister with a smile: "You two have grown up. I remember when we were children, you two followed me and Jagger all day long. What else did Robert say at that time?"
"Don't mention this to me." Tanya's face darkened, her eyes filled with extreme disgust.
Indeed, childhood is the most beautiful memory. It would have been true if the Duke had not asked her to marry Robert's father
So no matter what happened in the past, Tanya was extremely disgusted and repelled by having to marry her father first and then her son - even though Robert, her childhood playmate, was a person who was hard to dislike. .
After hearing Tanya's words, Leiden sighed. The three brothers and sisters had felt more 'awe' than warmth from their father since childhood.
Duke Eagle has always hoped that his son would become a great knight and his daughter would become the perfect queen. But these arranged paths are indeed very unfair to some children.
It's a pity that among these many children, he is the most rebellious. Tanya's wish since she was a child was to become that great knight, not a political bargain.
"Tanya, we didn't feel at ease until Grand Duke Yongfeng mentioned to us that you were at my cousin's house." At this point, Leiden suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked with something strange in his eyes: "Is cousin Tanya there?" Mentioned the matter of adoptive inheritance?"
‘Elizabeth Burton’ is five or six years older than Leighton, and more than ten years older than Tanya. When they were children, they often went to this cousin's house to play, and the newlywed couple almost regarded them as sons and daughters. After Elizabeth was widowed, Tanya even lived there for a few years to ease her sorrow. It was not until he was about to reach adulthood that he returned home.
She regards this little sister as her daughter in her heart!
In this fog, people would fall ill at any time, and many nobles died suddenly. Many people have made funeral arrangements. This eldest cousin may not have thought of this! And if the valley has the firm support of the two dukes, it will definitely become the strongest area of the Rodenk Kingdom in this disaster! (It is quite normal for nobles to have fiefdoms abroad)
So this is very possible!
Maybe my cousin has arranged an in-law marriage for Tanya with the Bolton family!
As for the credit for regaining the royal capital, Elizabeth did not come in person, but asked Tanya to receive the credit on her behalf. Is she really planning to pass the inheritance rights on to her favorite little sister? !
After hearing the words from Leiden's mouth, Tanya slowly closed her eyes and remembered Elizabeth's last wish that she had heard before when her blood was burning. She had a sad look on her face and didn't speak for a long time.
Layton didn't know that Elizabeth was actually dead, let alone the complicated things between blood descendants. Seeing my sister's face, I thought she was disappointed about the inheritance. The expression on his face became a little complicated.
He didn't know whether to feel sorry or to be grateful - which one was better, the King of the Valley Country or Queen Elda?
Emotionally, he hoped that Tanya could have a future of her own. But Robert himself was not at fault, and in his opinion, they should be a couple. It was only because of the sudden accident that my father made that decision.
And if both her cousin and her father want to arrange a marriage for her, then which young man in the Seven Kingdoms can be younger and more promising than Robert?
The Battle of the Black Tide has proved everything. Among all the candidates for the throne, Robert has stood out. Duke Wingwind, His Majesty Philips and King Landry have all begun to consider the suggestions made by the old King Elda after seeing this young man.
This is extremely unfavorable to the Campbell family.
"My dear sister, wait until this black tide passes and go home with us. You can become a great knight in your cousin's place. Your cousin may even confer a title on you, but what about the future? A dignified Campbell, is he going to be another retainer of Bolton? And you can't be like her, lonely all your life. Father already knows he is wrong."
Indeed, the sickly child did not die, but survived the serious illness and became a powerful griffin knight. On the contrary, his father is bedridden and dying. As for the King of Elda, who should have died ten years ago, he also had a little accident with the appearance of the fog and has lived to this day. This has changed all the political trends. But what has not changed is the interests of the Campbell family! "Tanya. This is the best era, the era of our generation's rise. When Jagger and Robert return triumphantly, we will return to Elda together." "Go home? No, Leighton." Tanya suddenly opened her eyes and said, "My mistress, Lady Elizabeth, has given everything to me. How can I leave the valley?" Leighton suddenly widened his eyes. He wanted to ask in depth about the marriage-it is very likely that there is a collateral descendant of the Bolton family. Because this is related to the surname! (According to the laws here, the wife can take the husband's surname or not. For the nobles here, compared with the surname, they are actually more concerned about the inheritance of blood. Some people may directly change their surnames to start a new era for the family, and this surname may be due to the territory or other meanings). The question flashed through Leighton's mind, but he held it back.
This matter cannot be rushed.
"No matter what, Tanya. As long as you can have a happy and beautiful future, no matter what your final choice is, your brother will sincerely bless you." Leighton's words came from the heart. After all, this is his sister who he has watched grow up. If possible, he would like to see his sister have a real future of her own.
Of course, if things can be done in both ways, it will be beautiful.
At the same time, he also believes that love can change everything.
He changed the topic and began to ask Tanya about her well-being with concern.
Tanya responded with hums and ahs, but her mind had already flown to the horizon.
She is no longer the original 'Tanya Campbell'. The moment her 'mother' gave her a new life, she had completely bid farewell to everything she had before.
And now, the new leader of the 'Blood Elves' also has a new life and a new mission.
What does it matter whether she is an earl or not, a king or not, or a queen or not? At the beginning of the new century when the old world collapsed, all this was just like a passing cloud. It was ridiculous! !
So their focus was not on the same thing at all.
Triumph
This sounds so harsh!
Under the crazy enthusiasm of the nobles, the so-called counterattack has become a foregone conclusion
These people, as well as her two brothers, may die in this war
Regarding this matter, Tanya felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart
I am afraid that even Grand Duke Yongfeng felt powerless against the nobles' recklessness. The only thing he can do now is to leave a part of the main force to defend the Bishui City under the pressure of several majesties, and reinforce it according to his and Vic White's plan.
The future seems to have become a foregone conclusion
But she believes that there is one person who can change all this!
Thinking of that figure, Tanya's heart became firm again. Her eyes began to search aimlessly on both sides of the street.
‘I ended up being a human trafficker, and I let Martin, that bastard, clean up my mess. George, that bad guy, must have expected this, otherwise the ‘black-hearted’ guy wouldn’t have come to my house from the wilderness in the middle of the night to give me a warning. He must have been waiting to see me make a fool of myself.’
The banquet held by Earl Leyden at noon to welcome ‘Robert’ was hastily suspended, and then resumed in the evening.
But the protagonist has changed. After all, even Robert claimed that this ball should be held for this lady.
Although the protagonist and those arrogant knights did not arrive at the end, everyone accepted wine.
Tanya actually felt the same way about wine, but when she thought of the faces of those nobles who were immersed in joy and even celebrating their victory in advance, she couldn’t get excited.
So after perfunctorily doing it, she returned to her room to drink alone. But the empty silver wine pot made people feel upset.
After a round of strolling, Tanya came to the "half-study room". This open study room, in fact, in addition to handling official business, receiving guests and leisure, is also used for collection and showing off.
So there are always good wines carefully collected by the owner here.
Seeing that it was the Black Lake Knights instead of the Judgment Knights guarding the door, they guessed that Martin had come first.
After seeing Tanya coming over, the two Black Sea Knights bowed and opened the door. Unlike the soldiers of other regiments, most of the people in the Black Lake Regiment came from aristocratic families. And Tanya has led the Black Pearl Knights to resist so many monsters in the north in the valley for so many years, killed so many blood nobles and even blood demons that endangered one side, and later led the army to fight against the ogres. So in their hearts, this lady has a very high status.
In addition, George later vindicated Elizabeth, which made many people in the west of the valley respect Tanya very much.
So the old soldiers and old knights were respectful to her from the heart.
As expected by Tanya, Martin was sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace drinking. But today, he was not holding someone's daughter in his arms, but the old boy Aji.
Not only Aji, but Rona was also there, and beside her, there was a strange old man who was telling her something. (Alexander and Dan are arranging soldiers outside)
Wolpe is also here, and many Judgment Knights and Black Lake Knights are even in the room. They seem to be playing with books or antiques leisurely, doing this or that thing casually. But they are all centered on the person opposite Martin's sofa, and from time to time they cast their admiring eyes over him.
Today, the system platform was cut over, and it was already past twelve o'clock when I came back. I originally wanted to ask for leave, but these two words really couldn't be said.
Then let's work hard!
