Reborn Ancient Western Europe

Gray got up very early the next day, and before the sunflowers in the garden bloomed, he had already washed up and put on a full set of aristocratic attire.The so-called complete set includes a white silk dress with emerald buttons, low-pile boots of the same white color, a platinum watch chain, a diamond-encrusted pocket watch with a rose gold case, a decorative saber and the top of the saber is also only for decoration crystal stone chain.

Molly even wanted to wear a pair of gemstone earrings for him. It is said that this is the most popular style among male nobles in the imperial capital this year, but Gray firmly refused.

He thinks he resembles a Christmas tree enough.

"You are more beautiful than Angel who fell into the world." Jon leaned on the bed, looked at Gray and sighed.After resting all night, his complexion improved a lot.But there was a strong wind in Demos today, and Gray felt that this kind of weather was not suitable for a patient to go out, so he insisted on letting him stay in the house.

But even so, Jon still has a lot of work to do.The plan for purchasing materials, drafting and revision of welcome speech, and personnel arrangement and scheduling.Gray sometimes felt that if Jon was born in modern times, he would definitely be a well-deserved elite-level management talent.

Gray's arrangement today is to visit the Sanctuary of Deimos at the Sanctuary of Deimos and discuss the specific matters of the reception.Gray has lived in Deimos City for so long, and he is quite familiar with the owner of Deimos City. If Gray himself came forward, it would be easier to talk about things.

Before going out, Molly shook off a long white cloak and surrounded Ge Rui tightly.The cloak had no straps, and Molly fastened it with a round obsidian brooch, and then carefully smoothed out a circle of fine fluff at the neckline of the cloak.

The carriage has already been prepared. Although the city lord's mansion is less than 10 minutes' walk away, the symbolic meaning of riding a carriage has long exceeded its actual meaning among those cumbersome noble etiquettes.

In fact, Gray didn't think there was any point in such a solemn dress, because the object of the visit was such an existence that exceeded the general standard of nobility.

Lord Dimos, in Gray's impression, is a person who has been vacillating in the definitions of evildoers, goblins, and monsters.But no matter which noun it ends up on, it is far from the category of normal human beings.

He felt that he would probably be laughed at severely.

The speed of the carriage was very slow, and the white horse was almost walking forward in small steps.But even so, Gray quickly came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's mansion faces north and south, and behind it is a slightly sloping sea defense dam.When choosing the site for the construction of the City Lord's Mansion, this place was the first to be excluded.Because it is too close to the sea, in the event of severe weather such as a storm, the City Lord's Mansion will become the first place where the entire city of Deimos will be flooded.

This has always made Gray sigh, betting on his own safety in order to gain the trust of the residents.In this regard, the Lord of Dimos is more effective than many modern image projects.

The city of Deimos is surrounded by the sea on three sides. About two-thirds of the residents here are engaged in occupations related to the sea. The architectural style of the city lord's mansion also reflects this very well.It has no gardens, no fountains, and no statues.All roads, including steps, are made of shells.And in a large open space in the center of the City Lord's Mansion, a deep puddle was dug.The puddle is filled with seawater and is directly connected to the sea. Whenever the seawater ebbs, there will always be various marine organisms staying here, waiting for the next seawater high tide, and then returning to the sea.

This is a very attractive cycle.

Gray himself has seen tiny pearl dolphins and giant sea turtles.It is said that some people have seen mermaids here.

Gray felt that the rumor of the mermaid was very likely because he happened to see the Lord of Deimos...

...is swimming.

"Hey, dear Gray, you look gorgeous today. If I didn't already have a Casio, I couldn't help falling in love with you."

On one side of the huge puddle, on a small platform paved with smooth black pebbles, a woman with fiery red long hair was lying there, laughing and greeting Gray.Her lower body was submerged in the water, and her two slender and straight legs were looming in the blue water.On the upper body, she only wore a piece of clothing that resembled a chest wrap. After the cloth was soaked in water, it was tightly wrapped around her body, fully revealing her proud figure.Her white and round shoulders and a slender waist were also exposed to the air.

That's right, the Lord Deimos is actually a woman.Moreover, she is a sexy beauty with a mermaid-like figure and appearance.

Gray couldn't help rolling his eyes. Every time he saw the city lord, he would always involuntarily think of those modern star artists living under the spotlight.Different from the excessive reserve and elegance of most women in this world, she is simply a burning flame, with a kind of unscrupulous and reckless beauty.

She smoothed her hair, and tied the fiery red smooth silk into a bunch behind her back, revealing a long string of onyx stone necklaces on her chest, and a bracelet of the same style on her right wrist.It matches her skin and hair color very well.Then she turned over abruptly and dived neatly to the bottom.

"Beth!" Gray exclaimed, he was so close to her that the splash of water wet him.Especially the boots on the feet, the decorative fluff was stained with water and turned into strands, which was extremely embarrassing.

"Sorry, sorry." Beth smiled and apologized without sincerity. She was very good at swimming and only resurfaced far away from the edge of the pool.She used her feet to maintain her balance in the water, put her hands together to her lips, and shouted to Gary: "Go to the hall, Casio is waiting for you in the hall, I will go there after I finish swimming."

Beth has the habit of swimming in the morning, so there won't be any waiters in the Santo's Mansion at this time.Gray walked into the hall, and Casio had already made black tea and was waiting for him.He looked at Gray's wet look in surprise, and then smiled knowingly.

He was a brown-haired, kindly man with amber eyes that Beth had admired a thousand times.He looked very young when he smiled, and Gray couldn't always guess his real age.

Casio is Beth's husband, and they are the most loving couple Gray has ever seen, but their marriage caused an uproar in the imperial capital.

Beth's father had only one child, Beth. He was the Duke in charge of military affairs, and later died on the battlefield because of the war.In order to show his loyalty to the empire, the emperor himself bestowed the title of Lady Bess.But this also means that Beth's marriage will no longer be free.

The nobles of the empire generally considered marriage and love completely separately.The three empresses owned by His Majesty the Emperor were all combined due to political factors.And most nobles have their own lovers.In this regard, there is no pressure from public opinion.

However, Beth fell in love with Casio deeply.She wanted to lie in the same cemetery with Cassio after she died, and then go to God holding hands together.

She begged a young priest to officiate their marriage and witness their union before God.The kind and young priest could not refuse her begging, so he agreed to secretly open the back door of the church for them in the middle of the night so that they could have a formal and complete wedding.

But, they all forgot to guard the church doorman, the drunkard who was always drunk.

As a result, the young Beth was expelled from her family, but the emperor, considering her father's achievements in the battlefield, sent her to Demos, a remote city, as the lord of the city, exiled her from the imperial capital forever in disguise.If there is no legitimate reason, she will never be allowed to step into the imperial capital.

"Beth is messing with you again?" Casio came forward with a smile, and helped Gray take off the cloak. Fortunately, the cloak was thick enough, so the clothes inside didn't get wet.

"You're so cute today." He kissed Gray on the cheek and stroked his hair, reassured that only the outer layer was wet.

Casio and Beth have been married for so many years and have not had children. Therefore, when Casio faces Gray, he will always subconsciously pamper him, and sometimes Gray will even feel embarrassed.

"Do you want to add sugar?" Casio asked Gray as he poured a cup of black tea.

Gray shook his head, picked up the white porcelain teacup carved with shell patterns, and took a sip.Casio looked at him with a smile, pushed a small plate of cake sprinkled with chocolate powder in the tea tray towards Grey, and said, "Come here so early, you must not have breakfast yet? Have some snacks."

"Casio, I remember, that seems to be prepared for me?"

Beth strode into the hall in a robe that trailed to the floor.She looked at Casio with dissatisfaction, and then laughed out loud again, wrapped her arms around Casio's neck, and gave him a passionate kiss.

Gray lowered his head to study the pattern on the cup, pretending he couldn't see anything.

"Okay, now let's get down to business." Finally satisfied, Beth let go of Casio, picked up the plate of snacks, picked a piece with a fork and put it in her mouth.She swallowed the piece of snack under Casio's disapproving gaze, and then said to Grey: "Have you read the reception regulations from the imperial capital? Did you find the problem?"

Gray put down the teacup.After thinking for a while, he replied: "We can't form a guard team."

That's right, one of the key points of the reception regulations is that Beth and the others must send the prince and princess to the imperial capital safely.Therefore, Deimos City must form a guard, among which cavalry is a must.

However, Deimos is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the main military power of the city is concentrated on the navy.On the land side, less than ten kilometers away from Dimos, there are mountains and forests, and it makes no sense to form cavalry.Therefore, in fact, there have never been cavalry in Deimos City.

"It's too late to buy horses from now on. It's hard to find people who can ride horses in Deimos City. Besides, I don't plan to spend that money, so." Beth spread out a map and pointed The location of Dimos City on the map, said: "We plan to change the solution."

Gray looked at the map, suddenly startled, and blurted out: "You guys plan to go by water!"

Casio glanced at him appreciatively, took the map and continued: "From Dimos to the Imperial Capital Wharf, it only takes seven days by sea, and this route is all within the sea area of ​​the empire, we can get along the coast. The support of the city is more reliable than the safety of going by land."

"We can lease the ships of the caravan, which will not prevent them from storing goods in the bilge, so they will be happy to accept the asylum of the Deimos Navy for free. There is no need to worry about the source of the ships."

"Besides, Deimos definitely has the most powerful navy in the entire empire." Beth said proudly: "At sea, no fleet can pose a threat to us."

Gray thought for a while and asked, "So, what about the weather conditions at sea?"

Casio smiled. He traced the coastline on the map with his finger, and said, "This sea area is very calm in autumn. Moreover, we can drive along the coast in the offshore. In this way, even if encountering We can also make landfall in time for the storm."

Therefore, the only remaining problem is to seek the consent of Prince Grace and Princess Haina.As for this issue, Gray's side, who was born in the Tislandi family, is obviously more suitable for this job.Presumably they would also be very happy to sell the face of the Tislandi family.

"I will try my best to persuade Jon to agree, I think he should be able to do it." Gray thought for a while, then nodded and agreed.

Beth whistled once, and sighed, "My dear, it's very good of you to understand me, and your wisdom makes me really close to love you."

She leaned over, but Gray couldn't dodge in time, and was kissed firmly on the face by her.Casio gave her a pull, and said with a smile, "Stop messing with him, Beth."

Gray stood up helplessly and said goodbye. He needed to discuss the solution proposed by Beth with Jon first, which involved many aspects that needed to be dealt with.Jon's plan also needs some revision.

Casio also knew this, so he didn't do much to keep him.He sent Gray out of the city lord's mansion, and sent him to the carriage, before returning to the hall, picking up the cold tea again, thinking silently.

"What are you thinking, dear?" Beth wrapped her arms around Casio's neck, and her whole body was rolled up on him, her cheeks rubbing against the hollow of his neck.

Casio took Beth's waist, held her in his arms, sighed and kissed her forehead.

Beth looked up slightly, into his face.Her most beloved pair of amber eyes were covered with a layer of haze at the moment, showing that the master was very preoccupied.

"Is it because I can finally return to the imperial capital openly?" Beth looked into his eyes and asked.

"Beth..." Casio closed his eyes, hugged her tightly, and pressed close to her ear, saying her name one after another.

Beth also hugged him tightly, looked down to find his lips, and kissed them.
