return to the throne

"You have to consider your uncle's opinion." Adrian said tactfully in the letter to his sister, "Qiu Kern used to be his father's knight. You and I have seen him when we were young. He is not a traditional knight. Good guy, but not a bad guy, at least he treats women well, not the kind of sadism mentioned in the rumors. I don’t know Peter Sachs at all. I don’t know if he is as good as his father hinted, Maybe he's childish, rude and ignorant, he's only 17 and he's not good enough for you."

"Dear brother, you haven't heard any bad rumors about the Sachs family, have you?" Emily wrote back to him, "These two families are like wolves and tigers, they just want Dakdraken Bloodline, so as to get the right to inherit the Black Dragon Kingdom, at least I choose Pete, and when my child is on the throne, he will not have the opportunity to dictate to us."

Adrian frowned, could Emily really control that young man?He didn't believe it, he knew his sister very well, she wasn't a girl with great skills, if she wanted to control the next heir of the Sachs family, it was not enough to rely on her beauty alone, at least she had to pass the test of the other's parents - old Sachs didn't It's easy to deal with, he is notoriously protective of the calf, and he will never give Emily any chance to listen to him.

But no matter how Adrian warned, Emily insisted on choosing Pete Sachs. She still thought that her younger husband would be more reassuring for her. In the end, Adrian could only agree to the marriage proposal of the polar lion family. Instead, he rejected Chucken, and Ben Chucken was not angry. He wrote to say that although the marriage was unsuccessful, their family would still be loyal to the heirs of Dakdraken, and would never bow their knees to Pallistrin.

……

Back in time, looking at Eureka's unconvinced expression, Seyes remembered the request Adrian wrote to him, "When we lead the army to fight, we can ask Eureka to marry Emily, and then Hand over Black Rock City to Spark, Cousin Spark is smart and smart, and will be our strong backing."

He suddenly understood why Adrian sent Eureka away.

Eureka, his eldest son, the one he'd spent the most time raising, was such a disappointment.

"Father..." Eureka wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the impatient Seyes.

"You don't need to say any more, even if the princess doesn't marry the vassals in the north, she won't marry you." Seis interrupted Eureka's fantasy unceremoniously, "She will marry Pete next month Sachs, that is her carefully selected husband. If you want, I allow you to accompany other knights to escort the princess to her marriage. It will be the last farewell. After that, I will choose a good wife for you among the daughters of my vassals. , I hope you can treat your wife as well as I respect your mother."

Eureka didn't want to marry a woman he didn't love as his wife, but he couldn't ask Emily if he could leave with him. After he left in despair, Seyes called his most loyal guard, Ya Thur Grantham.

"Next month, when Prince Adrian comes back, he will meet Princess Emily and marry her." Seyes told Arthur, "I order you to be the leader of the wedding team and escort Emily all the way to Sachs. At the same time, Eureka will follow, take good care of my son Eureka, and don’t let him have a chance to mess around.”

"As you order, Lord Seyes." Arthur Grantham bowed and saluted him. "But if Eureka does something that endangers the princess..."

"You can do it to him," Seyes said, "It doesn't matter if you kill him."

……

Time passed by, and finally it was the day of departure.

Adrian and his party set sail from Sardinia to the port of Bayonna.

Compared to their panic before they came here, Adrian now has a bit more confidence, and Dillik is also very excited. They have long wanted to go back to the Black Dragon and fight a tough battle with Paris Sterling. Although Sardinia is good, it is not their native land.

There are also two faces full of curiosity about the future trip.

That's Ciri and Tommy.The former, as Adrian's attendant, has never been to a country other than Aragon, so he is full of expectations for this journey, while the latter, with the idea of ​​repaying his benefactor, wholeheartedly wants to help Adrian who saved him. Ann did something practical. He woke up two days ago and still couldn't get up. Ciri hid him in the carriage and brought him aboard, and then hid him in the cabin where the servants lived.

Carlos didn't bring many people. Except for the two guards belonging to the king, the only ministers he brought were Rika and Rika's wife Anne Castile.Annie was dressed in a military uniform, and her heroic demeanor was not inferior to that of a man at all. She asked Carlos for a job as the captain of the guard, and squeezed out Jessica who wanted to follow.

Anne is Carlos' favorite cousin. She is warm and generous, with a bold style, and she gets along well with Adrian.Although Adrian only asked Carlos to send [-] soldiers, out of consideration for the victory of the war, the army participating in this battle also included the local garrison in Anjou.

The leader is called Laurie Blue Lantern.

He is an old nobleman.

He was the most trusted subordinate of King Lawrence, and he was always famous for his madness on the battlefield. When he was fighting with Lulik, Laurie killed hundreds of nomad cavalry and hung their heads on his horse.In the end, the horse couldn't even bear the weight, and he broke the horse's hoof directly. He fell to the ground, and he was able to get up and chop down the enemy who came to attack again.

Laurie brought his eldest son and second son, and an army of 7000 people to support the king. At the same time, he quarreled with the hare knight Joch. Ross rushed over with only a part of his own soldiers. Carlos, Adrian, Rika and Anne were the most honorable people in the country, and no mistakes could be tolerated.

In view of the contradictions between the old and new nobles from the beginning to the end, this quarrel is not unusual. There is nothing that wine can't solve. After dozens of barrels of wine have been drunk, Yoh and Laurie have become good friends who can live and die together on the battlefield. friend.Anjou's army had already entered the Sharp Mountains half a month ago, and earlier, craftsmen and gunpowder had been transported to Blackstone Castle by horses. During the time when Adrian and the others returned to Long Sai, Seyes Stepping up the digging of the tunnel, he buried the black powder on both sides of the tunnel as Adrian asked.

When Adrian and his group arrived in Longsai and the tunnel in the Sharp Mountains was finally completed, Adrian was in a mixed mood. He hoped that his act of building this tunnel was not to lure wolves into the house.

"If you are worried, we will press iron doors made of fine steel on both ends." Seyes whispered in Adrian's ear, this day was too unusual for him, first of all, the newly married Derian returned to the Black Dragon Kingdom from Sardinia. He looked all right, and he was even a little fattened by Carlos—of course, this state did not damage his beauty. He was too thin before, and now he looks like this It’s just right, so even as a picky uncle of the natal family, it cannot be said that he has not been well taken care of. Secondly, this is the first time that Seyes has crossed the Sharp Mountains and stood in Anjou. No, it is now Aragon’s On land, this is a milestone event, and history will remember it.

"Of course the iron gate must be installed," Adrian said. "It needs to be made of twenty thick iron bolts, even if thousands of troops arrive, they will not be able to inflict serious damage on it."

Seyes nodded, "I will arrange for someone to do it."

After a pause, he looked at Adrian complicatedly, "How is your life in Sardinia?"

Adrian said, "I'm fine, Uncle, don't worry about me."

"You have always said very well in your letters, but I will never be at ease without seeing it with my own eyes." Seyes sighed.

"Carlos is good to me." Speaking of this, Adrian's face became a little hot, "He respects me very much and treats me like a queen. He is a good husband, but it's a pity that Emily didn't marry him."

Seyes seemed to believe his words, but after Adrian left, his brows frowned slightly again.

Thirty thousand hares, plus 7000 Anjou troops, passed through the tunnel and entered the territory of Blackstone. Adrian is now the prince of Aragon, so he and Carlos walked together. People on horseback walked in the middle of the procession.

"Homesick?" Carlos asked him.

"I think about it all the time." Adrian looked at his land with nostalgia.

"I don't mind you coming back often, my dear." Carlos said, "Anyway, through the black mud, the whole of Aragon is unimpeded for us. As long as you come back to me in the end, you can go wherever you want."

Adrian bit his lower lip, "What if I don't come back?"

Carlos smiled slightly, "Then you won't like my answer." Although he spoke with a smile, Adrian keenly felt that there was no joke in Carlos' tone, maybe his leaving , would really make this man do something terrible.

"Where else can I go besides you." He looked away, staring at the approaching Blackstone Castle in front of him, the dark fortress was cold and hard, just like what he felt at the moment, "I'm not already your husband? "

"Yes, dear," Carlos said.

"Brother!" As soon as he entered the city gate, Emily came galloping, and Adrian also jumped off the horse and hugged his sister. Although he hadn't seen her for a few months, Adrian felt that he hadn't seen his sister for many years. up.Emily's eyes were red, and she wept silently in her brother's arms, and Adrian quickly wiped away her tears.

"I'm back, sister..."

"Yes, you're back..."

Carlos was obviously displeased with the closeness of the siblings. After all, Emily was already a well-developed, mature and beautiful woman. Even siblings should keep a distance between men and women, but it was inconvenient for the siblings to reunite after a long absence, so he turned around. Went to chat with Seyes.
