return to the throne

Carlos didn't let Adrian follow him to the north because Lanka was one of the most important supply warehouses for the Northern Expeditionary Army, providing them with food, weapons and horses. Carlos didn't want a stranger to sit in such an important rear base .

Although Adrian understands his approach rationally, he really doesn't want Carlos to leave in his heart. This is the first time the two have faced a long-term separation since they got married. He is very reluctant and even emotional .

Carlos smiled slightly, and gently kissed Adrian's forehead, "So unhappy?" He was actually very happy that Adrian was so clinging to him, but if his lover had been in a bad mood because of this, he would feel distressed.

At this moment, little James Yiyi started making noise, and Adrian came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, I'm too self-willed."

Carlos picked up his son and said with a smile, "There's nothing to apologize for, well, I understand what you mean, and I love you too."

Adrian blushed, stretched out his hand to tidy up his son's clothes, what I love you, he didn't mean that!

In the last week of August, the army of the Northern Expedition officially set off. Carlos led the army as the spouse of the Duke of Lanka, accompanied by Newcastle from Phoenix and Duke from the polar regions. Seyes stayed in Lanca. The card is stationed.Fearing that Duke would be disobedient, Adrian even had a long talk with old George. If the people in the polar region were ambivalent and wanted to replace them, Carlos' identity might not be easy to do, but old George has the right to deal with them directly. .

George Newcastle nodded.

When he left, he patted his son on the shoulder, "Fey, the Duke's safety is entrusted to you."

Fay immediately said, "Don't worry Dad, I know what to do."

George whispered in his son's ear, "Faye, I heard some rumors about the princess. During this time, she often went to Jianli to visit the prisoners captured by the Duke. Is this true?"

Fay said, "It's true, Dad. These people used to be friends with the royal family. Some of them are the elders of the princess. The princess has a kind heart and can't bear to let them suffer in prison." He paused, "I I heard people say that the princess seems to have a lot of complaints about Adrian's actions this time, and she thinks he is too harsh on these people, after all, they were forced to surrender to Quinn."

George frowned, "We have no right to comment on whether Adrian's actions are too harsh, but since he has already made his decision and even Seyes didn't object, it's best for the princess not to interfere too much."

In George's view, visiting the prisoner at this time is not sympathy, but a gesture of goodwill. Adrian has no plans to leave the Black Dragon, and he is still the most powerful person in the entire kingdom. Doing small movements under the nose, I really don't know what the little princess is thinking.

Fay also sensed something was wrong, "Dad, do you want to tell Adrian about this?"

George shook his head, "He trusts his sister, even if he says it, it won't do much." After a pause, he added, "Faye, no matter what, you have to protect the Duke, I don't want to hear anything later bad news."

Fay was puzzled, "Dad, what do you mean..." Suddenly he had an incredible expression on his face, "Impossible, now the princess's biggest reliance is Adrian, how could she..." How could she be herself? What about the broken arm?And with the relationship between brother and sister, it is impossible for her to murder her brother.

"I'm just planning for the worst." George said, riding away from home.

On the first day Carlos left, Adrian suffered from insomnia.

Even though the bed was as soft as a cloud and the environment outside was very quiet, Adrian still didn't feel sleepy. He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, and finally got up resignedly to write a letter to Carlos.

It turned out that without knowing it, Adrian had gotten used to having someone sleeping next to him, taking care of him, and protecting him, so much so that when the other party left, he was so restless that he couldn't sleep.

Adrian picked up the pen, briefly talked about his itinerary for the day, and then added some information about his family, focusing on his son——without Carlos' help, James is really difficult to deal with, as if he is just full of energy~ Sheng's little monkey makes noises all the time to attract the adults' attention.

"Everything is fine with James. He was very noisy tonight. He probably knew that his father was not there, so he tried his best to make troubles. I spent the whole night coaxing him to sleep, and I only calmed down now. I really hope you are here, so I You don’t have to deal with him alone.”

After writing the last sentence, Adrian blushed a little, and added another sentence at the end, "No matter what, I hope you will return quickly and safely. I wish you all the best. I miss you Adrian."

Immediately, he walked to the window and whistled to the big tree outside the window.

Rahman was flying in the woods near the palace, and when he heard his master calling, he immediately spread his wings and flew over. Adrian fed him a piece of fresh beef, and then tied the letter on his leg.

"Go to Carlos," Adrian said.

Rahman hesitated to take off.

"What are you doing?" Adrian thought it was funny. This falcon belonged to a bird of prey, and his attitude towards everyone was very fierce. Only when he saw Carlos, he was a little dizzy, and he didn't know if Carlos did it secretly. What, the bird trembled at the sound of his name.

Of course, with Carlos' cunning character, such a thing is not impossible.

"Could it be that you were shot down by him?" Adrian couldn't help touching the soft feathers of the falcon in his hand. He didn't know that what he was thinking now was the truth, and he thought that Rahman refused because he didn't know Carlos very well. Serve him, but Adrian will not condone its laziness. "Okay, don't dawdle, go and deliver the letter."

Rahman wailed pitifully.

Adrian patted it perfunctorily. "Another piece of meat?"

It's a pity that Rahman couldn't speak, and couldn't tell Adrian about his grievances. He dawdled by the bed for a long time, and it took him a long time to spread his wings and fly away.

Adrian watched the falcon fly away, lay on the bed~, and finally fell asleep.

On this side, Sidney gritted his teeth with hatred when he heard that the Northern Expedition Army had set off.

This time, the Holy See will no longer help the north, and the family allied with Pallister is ambiguous. The Abyss Swamp is now in a dilemma. Their situation is precarious. If they are not careful, they will be wiped out.

Then, he discovered a terrible fact.Quinn's death was no accident at all!It was his good son who joined forces with his vassals to do it!

The angry Sidney whipped his son for the first time, but he didn't expect that because he loved Mark, the girl who disappeared, the time passed in a mess. He fell ill after being whipped twenty by the soldiers, with a high fever. Retreat, lying on the bed ~ dying.

Sidney immediately regretted it.

Affected by internal and external troubles, Sidney also fell ill. However, if no one stood up to lead the soldiers at this time, the entire Pallister family would be in danger of being destroyed, so he supported his illness and assembled an army to plan Against the Union Army.

However, they had another problem.

No food.

Of the 3 troops stationed in Lanka, at least [-] are soldiers from the abyssal swamp, and most of them are farmers.The abyss was originally barren, and so many people were transferred, the abyss swamp soon fell into a food shortage situation.

And winter is coming.

This winter is going to be very tough.

Originally fighting in winter in the north was the advantage of the Abyssal Swamp, but because there was no food, the soldiers had to fight hungry. Compared with the well-equipped and well-stocked Northern Expeditionary Army, the Abyssal Swamp was almost powerless.

Fortunately, in the end, there were finally two families who chose to support the Abyss Swamp.

The other northern nobles, just as they did not support Lanka at the beginning, did not stand up to fight for Sidney this time.

Sidney rallied the soldiers of the three families.He also took out the food for the whole city to survive the winter, and prepared to fight with his back.

And as far as he knew, Carlos' footsteps were very close, very close.

Carlos can be regarded as a spring breeze recently.

The husband is married, and the child is smart and cute. Although little James can't even turn over, he can only babble, cry, laugh and drink milk, but Carlos believes that his son must be a genius, and he will be as smart as him in the future It was powerful; the attack on the north seemed to be going smoothly, and none of the lords dared to resist along the way. They contacted Old George and were willing to return to Dark Dracon, as long as Adrian didn't mind their past behavior.

The north is vast and sparsely populated, and each city occupies a large area, but there are few soldiers stationed there, and the people are poor. Even the noble ladies pampered by the lord may wear ripped skirts, and some lords even have only a hundred guards , There is no way to resist the menacing Northern Expeditionary Army.No wonder they chose to surrender without even having the heart to resist. Carlos asked people to send these surrendered nobles back to Lanka, waiting for Adrian to decide, because they had never supported Paris Sterling, nor sent them Money and food, I think Adrian will not kill them.

And there are also some families, because they haven't been pardoned by Adrian for a long time, and because they were Quinn's lackeys, they decided to take the risk out of anxiety and resisted to the end.As a result, it happened to be used by Carlos to practice, and the hares adapted quickly. This kind of cool weather was much more comfortable for them than some hot seasons in the south. Everyone was full of energy, and even the speed of travel was faster. few.

In just ten days, they drove most of the way, including two small-scale conflicts, which cut off Sidney's ambition to double-team the Northern Expeditionary Army. Now there is no lord in the entire north who dares to block the path of the Northern Expeditionary Army , They huddled in their castles, hoping that the Northern Expeditionary Army would not pass by them.

During this period, Adrian wrote several letters to Carlos. Every time Carlos received a letter, he treasured it and put it in Henry's luggage. Because he traveled very fast, he seldom replied to Adrian. , but every time Carlos caught Rahman, he would put something into the pouch on his paw, sometimes it was leaves, sometimes it was dried wild flowers. Pine cones on the head.Adrian was dumbfounded when he received it, but he kept it well.
