return to the throne

Carlos was distressed to find that Adrian suddenly ignored him.

Although he can still have a normal conversation with Seyes, Anne and his two maids, he refuses to talk to Carlos, and always turns his back to him when he sleeps at night.

Carlos felt guilty, and tried his best to reduce his sense of existence these days.

After about two days of calm, Adrian told May, Ivanka and Ciri about her pregnancy.

It's not that he doesn't trust other people, but he's afraid that if he tells his knights about this, those who have believed in the God of Light all their lives will regard themselves as heretics. Adrian has always been very careful about such uncertainties, after all There is only one life, and there is no room for him to take chances.And Mei and the others are Adrian's servants, and they are one with the master. Adrian honors them and they are honored. Adrian is unlucky and they are unlucky. Even if it is for their own lives, they dare not betray Adrian.

Besides, he may want these people to serve him personally.

Ciri carefully looked at Adrian's stomach, "Your Highness, you are pregnant."

As an Aragonese, he has long heard that male couples can go to Sardinia to pray for the birth of their children if they get married, but that is just hearsay, because he has never had any examples around him to prove it.But now, he finally saw a living example, and besides being surprised, he also felt a sense of honor.

Ciri likes little babies. When he was adopted by Old Locke, he often took care of other adopted babies. Many children didn't like those children, thinking they were noisy and eating too much, but Ciri was different. He always Very patient, he thought, after the little master was born, he hoped that His Royal Highness Adrian would allow him to take care of him, instead of disliking himself for being clumsy and humble.

Unlike Ciri's surprise, May and Ivanka were taken aback, "Really? Your Highness, are you not kidding us?"

Adrian smiled bitterly, "I hope it's a joke too, but unfortunately, it's not a joke, it's true."

Ever since he knew he was pregnant, he seemed to feel that there was really something in his stomach, which was heavy and full of vitality.Adrian has been able to calmly face this fact from the initial discomfort, anxiety, and irritability. He consulted Annie and confirmed that pregnancy will not affect his activities, because Adrian often exercises and his body Not as weak as those noble girls, so this child has always been healthy in his stomach.

Adrian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that being pregnant would not affect his going to the battlefield.What he was most afraid of was that due to physical reasons, he had to stay in the rear, waiting for the final result after the battle. If a prince couldn't come to the battlefield in person, how could he order the soldiers to fight for him?Therefore, Adrian was extremely unwilling to keep him in isolation because of the child.However, after he knew that he didn't need to leave the front line, getting pregnant didn't seem to be so repulsive. Some knights could still fight for the kingdom when they were sick, so he could just treat it as if he had a tumor in his stomach.

However, he still had to let the people around him know about it.

May and Ivanka looked at Adrian in confusion, with complex expressions on their faces.

Both of them are loyal believers of the God of Light. In the program of the Church of Light, although same-sex unions are not officially listed as a crime, they are always rejected and condemned.To be honest, when Adrian said he was pregnant, they were both shocked by what the other party told them.For a moment, May and Ivanka suspected that Aragon's people had done something to their prince, making him mistakenly think that he could conceive and give birth like a woman, but Adrian repeatedly explained that all this was true, they Had to believe it.

Adrian is the master recognized by May and Ivanka. The two have long sworn that their entire lives belong to him. At this moment, they will not betray their prince. May and Ivanka glanced at each other, and immediately Without hesitation, they knelt down and swore their loyalty to Adrian again.

After taking care of the people around him, Adrian finally felt relieved, and prepared to join forces with other troops to attack Lancaster.

At present, the entire Black Dragon Kingdom is divided into two. The north is ruled by Paris Sterling. Only a few nobles have expressed that they will not submit to the rule of the traitor. The South, starting from Phoenix City, still belongs to the Kingdom of Black Dragon, because King James died in battle. , Queen Margaret died in love. It was supposed to be Prince Adrian who ascended the throne, but in order to get rescued, he married the royal family of Calostilla next door to Aragon in exchange for a covenant, so now he is the regent. Identity, waiting for the birth of Princess Emily's son.

At the same time, Princess Emily finally arrived at the Pole under the escort of the knights.

Seyes' eldest son, Eureka, was also a member of the escort team. He was sullen and drank a lot during the journey, which made the leader Faye Newcastle very unhappy. For something irreversible, I couldn't help but warn him again and again not to mess around.

Soon, the princess met her future husband's father, Peter Sachs, the lord of the polar lions.

This middle-aged man had an extremely gloomy appearance and a gloomy smile. If it wasn't for his nostrils that could breathe, he would have looked like a shriveled zombie that had been sleeping in a cemetery for hundreds of years.

Of course, it's not just Old Pete who feels suffocated, the entire castle is also very dark and dilapidated, incomparable to the wealthy Lancaster Palace, and even Black Rock City, which has an average economic level in the country.

A few days later it will be the wedding day of the princess and Pete. The polar castle has not been decorated at all. The maids are all wearing gray leaky skirts, thin and small, with disheveled hair, and the only few male servants are listless all day long, aren’t they? To be in a daze is to take a nap in a corner.

Everyone was extremely disappointed after seeing the situation in the polar regions.

But Princess Emily had no choice but to marry Pete under such circumstances.

All this makes Eureka hate Adrian even more.

In his opinion, Adrian just married Emily to Pete, who can't do anything, just to get 2 soldiers in the polar region. He is obviously better, and his family has contributed more to Dark Dracon. However, Adrian turned a blind eye and insisted on exchanging his sister for the support of other nobles. This kind of behavior is really chilling.

Sure enough, as soon as the princess was married, old Pete kept his promise, and he ordered the soldiers of the polar regions to set off for Phoenix.

The general leading the team was named Duke Ali, tall and rough, he was a typical northerner.Fay didn't have a good relationship with him. The two quarreled every day and looked down on each other, but it was undeniable that Duke was a good fighter.

He was also very cunning. He had people arrange signs of soldiers on the main road in advance, so that the people in the abyss swamp would mistakenly think that the people in the polar regions planned to attack their lair while they were not prepared. Naturally, Pallister would call in the army to return to the defense. , As a result, he came back to garrison for several days, but learned that Duke had already taken his men to detour and left the north from other places, and let them make a trip in vain.

Paris Stirling was so angry that he almost turned his guns and attacked the polar regions directly. However, the United Army was still watching closely in the south of Lanka, and Quinn's letter asking them for troops became more and more urgent. As a last resort, they could only Order the exhausted soldiers to quickly return to Lanka.

But the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The rebels who have been living in the cold north are not very good at fighting in summer. Before returning to Lanka, many soldiers fell ill with fever, vomiting and diarrhea, unable to move, and the knights could not move. They were not ordered to hurry with whips every day, but no matter how cruel they were and how ruthless they were, many soldiers still fell behind, fled, and died.

Of course, this is a story.

Back in time, after escorting the princess, the knights led by Fay decided to leave with the polar army and return to the south, but Eureka chose to stay and be the princess' guard.

Fay didn't care about him either. In fact, Adrian had ordered him in private to keep Eureka in the Polar Region no matter what, and absolutely never let him have the chance to return to Black Rock City.Now that Eureka stays so consciously, Fay is also happy to relax - after all, this guy is the heir of a noble lord, and Fay doesn't want to use force with him.

Without troublemakers, the team finally came to the territory of Phoenix City after traveling for half a month. Adrian went to the city gate to greet Fay and Duke himself.Duke showed respect to the prince, and expressed his willingness to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army, regardless of whether the other party was from the Black Dragon or not.

Adrian was very satisfied with Duke's understanding, and he thought about what to do if people in the polar regions were as arrogant and cowardly as Pete.He doesn't really want Carlos to show them off every time. This will cause conflicts among the knights. He finally brought in reinforcements from the north. If there is any more hostility, it will definitely not be worthwhile for an army. .

Fortunately, Duke has a beast-like intuition, knowing that the south is not their main battlefield, and the weather is difficult for them to adapt to, so he voluntarily chose to back down.This move was exactly what Adrian wanted, and he didn't want his allies from the north to take the lead at such a time.

Adrian couldn't help but pay more attention to Duke. It seems that this Sir, who looks rough and boring on the surface, is definitely not a rough person in his heart. On the contrary, he is very careful and knowledgeable about current affairs. It is their good helper.

That night, in order to welcome the arrival of these people, the people of Phoenix City specially held a grand dinner for them.

Fay has not been home for many years. For the past ten years, he has been living in Lanka as the prince's guard. After Lanka was broke, he and Adrian wandered in various cities. Now, he has finally returned to his father's fief. Very emotional.
