What to do if your crush is the Earl

The war lasted for half a month.

Martin's arrival protected the political core of the empire, and also created space for the imperial war that would have been defeated in one blow, and bought time for the arrival of reinforcements.

Among them, the reinforcements sent by the Marquis of Boris gave the empire a boost.

In the original plan of the Yingpang Empire, the marquis who had been staying out of it would not participate in the battle, but he didn't know that the wind moved him.Actually sent [-] reinforcements.

Other civilian militias and armies also joined the imperial resistance.

This time, the Yingbian army couldn't stand it anymore.

After a month and a half of tug-of-war, the army of the Eagle Empire retreated exhausted.

Major General Nona, together with other generals, drove the Yingbian army to the border strait.

The fighting finally stopped.

Although the empire was temporarily stabilized, it suffered heavy losses.

The king and the national teacher passed away one after another, which caused great shock to the empire.

The British nobles with titles and fiefdoms who came this time gathered in the royal meeting hall to listen to the cabinet discussing the future direction of the empire.

His Royal Highness the Prince sat on the main seat, and the blows he suffered all day seemed to have no effect on him. If there was any difference, it would be that the expression on that face became more calm, and it was hard to guess what he was thinking. What.

The final decision of the meeting was actually not different from what was expected.

As the sole heir of His Majesty the King, Briman will complete the enthronement ceremony on the full moon day fifteen days later.

The king's funeral will also be completed within a week.

No one knows what happened in the inner chambers of the Crystal Palace at that time.

Including His Royal Highness Breman himself.

Perhaps the news that the king was in the dungeon was wrong in the first place.

In order to protect their own safety, the rebels tied the king together early in the morning.

But in the end, the real spy of the enemy country was not caught, and the national teacher died.

It is conceivable that the current calm is also superficial.

The people just saw that the war was won, and the imperial army beat the enemy to the border and returned to their lair, so they clapped their hands to celebrate and felt angry.

But Breman felt that he had punched cotton, and no one behind the scenes had ever appeared on the stage, and the eagle side only lost a little force on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that one person is still missing.

"Has anyone been found yet?"

The blond man walked over from the side. He was dressed in a noble jazz dress, with blond curly hair. He was tall and straight, and his handsome face was full of unpredictable mystery and unreachable nobility.

"Odin?" Bremen sighed beside the tower, "You're here."

"Hmm." Martin followed his gaze, "Antoine hasn't found it yet?"

"After that day, it was as if he had disappeared from the world." Briman stroked the wall of the tower with his fingers.

"If... I mean if," Martin said, "you found him, what would you do?"

His Royal Highness, no, maybe it should be called His Majesty the Quasi-King of the Empire, his brows were slightly frowned, but he did not speak for a long time.

The view from the tower is very wide, and you can see the distant skyline of Fancheng.

This is really a very bustling city. Apart from the forest stretching for several kilometers behind the palace, on the other side, the scattered houses stretch to the place where the sky and the earth meet, forming small squares one by one, which look very small.

"Remember, when we were young, we often came to look at the tower." Breman narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that it happened not long ago."

Martin did not speak.

After some things happened, remembering the past became a way to relax a little in reality, and Martin didn't want to stop it.

"It looks so different now." Breman smiled lightly, then looked at his friend beside him, "Odin will stay until the succession ceremony before going back, right?"

Martin caught his gaze, seeing the deep emotions hidden there, his original hesitation was suppressed, and he nodded.

----

An unnamed rural village of the Empire.

A strange man came.

Over the past ten years, the population of the village has been increasingly removed, so there are not many people left.

Basically, they are old people who miss this place very much.

There is a large wheat field at one end of the village, and tall scarecrows are tied in the field, and the skirts of their clothes flutter with the wind.

There is a small cluster of grape racks in the village, and some old people are busy picking ripe grapes.

The atmosphere is very peaceful and quiet.

When Xiao Sheng walked into this scene, he felt very strange.

It's not like the autumn season in the manor, where servants in white robes come and go.Here, there are very few people in sight.

Fortunately, he wrote to Na Lisha in advance.This young lady has been taking care of his father since Fancheng.Xiao Sheng paid her Shilang's salary every month.

At this time, Narisa was waiting under the oak tree at the entrance of the village. Seeing him approaching, she waved a handkerchief and waved to him.

The home is still where it was 20 years ago, but it has been renovated.

It can be seen that Nalisha is a very capable girl.Supervising the workers after Xiao Sheng ordered them to do a good job.

It is a two-storey building with a small attic on the roof.

Father Xiao was sitting in the back garden cleaning up the vegetation in the garden.

The old man's state seems to be much more sober.No longer as weak as when he first came out of the camp.

Hearing Xiao Sheng's call, the old man turned his head and saw him, a joyful smile appeared on his slightly ravine face.

Fancheng.

Succession ceremony.

Even though it was mid-autumn, the whole city was still full of flowers—the people took out their own thread, cloth and silk, and made them into flowers.

The entire Mizi Avenue is like a flowerbed covered with flowers in spring.

A tall flower platform was built in the center of Fancheng.

It is as high as a floor and as big as a square.

In fact, it occupies the famous T-shaped fountain square in the Acropolis.

Pigeon flats, statues, water springs.

The sky is high and the air is crisp, the clouds are bright and the wind is clear.

There were beaming smiles on everyone's faces.

Because their heroic prince, His Highness, is about to inherit this great country.

The foreign enemies have been repulsed, the country is about to take on a new look, and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment again. Who can not be happy.

According to the usual practice, the one who wears the crown for His Royal Highness will be the most beautiful little girl in Fancheng.

Dai Li is lucky to be this little girl today.

She was studying at the Imperial Saints Academy, and when the dean said that she wanted to elect a flower presenter and a saint, she signed up without hesitation, and finally she was chosen.

The little girl's face was flushed with excitement, and she didn't sleep the whole night before the ceremony. Until before the ceremony, her little hands were trembling slightly with excitement.

Who doesn't know that His Highness the prince of the empire is handsome and dignified.The brilliant face is like the golden sun on the scepter of the statue!

How honorable and lucky it would be to be able to get along with this golden sun at close range! ! !

The red carpet leading to the flower bed is long.

It took 78 artisans a month to weave it from carefully dyed Earls wool.

Only for the grandest celebrations.

According to the tradition of Fancheng, Prince Breman took a float to the flower platform early.

Ordinary people are a little far away from him, and they can only see the complicated and noble robes worn by His Royal Highness from a distance.

The whole big square is bustling with people.

"His Royal Highness is really pretty."

"I don't know which girl will marry him in the end."

With the promotion of freedom of speech in the cabinet, the public does not refrain from talking about many things, and even enjoys talking about them.Everyone chatted in whispers.

Martin sat far away on the high platform, watching the scene in front of him.

It was obviously a festive and lively scene, but for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.

It seems things are going a little too well.

A small guard stood beside him.Martin beckoned him to lean his head.

The little guard was a little puzzled, but obediently moved his head closer, and heard the count whispering in his ear: "Go and invite Major General Nona over."

Major General Nona, as a member of the military, is in charge of duty and public security in Fancheng today. She should not be too far away for His Highness's grand ceremony today, probably in a street not far away.

The little guard heard this and ran away quickly.

Almost at the moment when the little guard left, Martin found someone.

He hid in the crowd, wearing an ordinary felt hat, which was pushed down very low.

But Martin could still recognize him by the blue strands of hair slightly protruding from his ears——that was Antoine! ! !

What does he come to do?

Is it good or bad? ?

Martin's expression was tense, and his hand was unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

However, the man seemed to have noticed his tension, and his eyes turned around quickly, seeming to stare at Martin's face for a few seconds, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

When I looked again in the next second, the man had already disappeared in the crowd.

Martin stood up abruptly.

"Lord Earl?" The people around looked over in confusion.

The celebration was in the middle, and the beautiful little girl stepped onto the red carpet step by step, holding a golden crown in her hand, and walked towards His Highness the Prince in the flourishing float.

Now is not the time to leave, if he gets up and leaves without authorization, the grand ceremony will definitely be interrupted.Martin could only hold back, expecting Nona to come over earlier, while paying attention to Breman's movements.

The little girl put a crown on His Royal Highness.

His Royal Highness smiled on his handsome face, and kissed blessings on the little girl's hair wearing a colorful garland.

Everything seems to be happy and healthy.

Martin tightened his strings, listening to the ceremonial officer recite epic poems and blessings over and over again.The parade has finally begun.

The little girl sat on the prince's float, and together with the prince, received the admiration and blessings of the people.

In the past practice, the little girl who became a saint would either become a princess or a queen in the future.Therefore, accepting the blessings of the people together seems to be in line with etiquette and laws.

Ten steps, nothing unusual.

After fifty steps, people gradually gathered around the floats.

One hundred steps.There was commotion in the crowd in front of the float.

The cars of the dukes followed.

Martin was the first to jump off the carriage and run to the front.

The crowd was pushing and panicking, until some gaps and clues were finally revealed.

Martin saw a young man in a felt hat covered in blood lying on the ground a dozen steps away in front of the float.

Because of the crowd's pushing and shoving, some "flower" debris fell on him, and the young man seemed to be asleep, unconscious, lying quietly on the ground vacated by the crowd in panic.

Martin:? !

His Royal Highness Breman:?
