Shirley, who didn't know that she had been targeted by many nobles, was enjoying her breakfast at this time, a few slices of toasted bread that was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and a few pieces of marinated very delicious smoked chicken.There is also the vegetable soup that Fuya specially made for her.After eating this meal, she was in a happy mood, and even yesterday's annoyance of being picked on by others dissipated.

"Sister Fuya, how about we go out for a walk after dinner, I passed by yesterday and haven't had time to take a look around seriously."

Although the sanitation on the streets was poor, it was the capital of a country after all, so it was really lively.

The Little Duke: Chapter 3 Comes

The wind is sunny, the sun is shining, and the temperature is just right. It is a good weather for going out and having fun. Xueli, who had breakfast, naturally thought so, and asked Fuya to help her dress up for going out, so she was going out for a while .

The door was pushed open, and the girl jumped out of the door with a happy mood, and a series of crisp and happy laughter came out.

"Miss, slow down, don't fall." The maid who opened the door worriedly looked at the girl who jumped out of the door, but found that her laughter stopped abruptly for some unknown reason.

With a solemn and displeased expression, Fuya walked out of the room worried and curious, and saw a carriage parked at the gate of the mansion, and a middle-aged man was about to get off on the carriage. car.

"That's the current husband of the Countess Du Jialinsi."

"The incumbent, does she have a predecessor?" Fuya's words almost made Shirley laugh out loud, but she finally endured it. It is not difficult to say that she is the incumbent, after all, the countess' reputation is well-known even in the aristocratic circle. Yes, there is no need to cover up.

The only thing she was curious about was that the earl looked healthy and strong, why couldn't he control his wife and let her attract bees and butterflies everywhere?

"Duke Shirley." Although it has not been officially confirmed that she will become the duke of a principality, many nobles have already begun to call her duke.After all, she will become a new principality on the mainland.And this principality is much stronger than other principalities.

The cumbersome etiquette, which Shirley has not learned until now, but it also proves that the Earl who came at this time attaches great importance to Shirley.

"You didn't come here specifically to find a place for your wife, did you?"

She couldn't learn such cumbersome aristocratic etiquette at all. When Fuya asked her to learn it, she didn't even think about it. Now when others use this etiquette to salute her, she doesn't even know how to return the salute. have no idea.

"Master Earl Stries, my lady is still young, and she is not good at such complicated etiquette. She is a guest from afar, so let's go into the room and talk about it."

She naturally saw the embarrassment of her own lady. She was asked to learn some aristocratic etiquette, but she was unwilling to learn it when she saw the complicated ones. However, sometimes you can ignore it because you are strong in force. Just stand still and watch, stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person. The other party respects you, but you don't respect others. This can't be justified anywhere.

"Ah, yes, you must have something to do here, so come in and talk about it."

Fuya gave her the steps, so she naturally has to hurry up to follow. As for going out to play, let’s wait until Earl Stries is delivered. By the way, why is her wife called Countess Dujalins, but he is Stries? Earl.Is this something wrong.

Earl Stries, who was invited into the mansion, knew that he had taken advantage of the etiquette that had been put in place at the beginning, so he didn't care about talking about him, and got straight to the point as soon as he sat on the reception chair in the hall.

"My lord, my wife did something wrong yesterday. After she returned to the mansion, she was also extremely annoyed by her words and actions last night. She didn't know why she suddenly came to trouble you so violently, and she couldn't understand Why did she choose to do it directly afterwards, as if her brain was manipulated by someone at that time. She didn't have any thinking at all."

"Of course, I'm not defending my wife, it's just that I can't understand why she would do such unbelievable things there."

Indeed, what happened last night really cannot stand scrutiny. Countess Du Jialinsi is also a beautiful woman. How could such a woman offend a rising nobleman so easily.

Especially this nobleman was not the slightest threat to her. Why did she come to trouble her? There must be a reason for this.But once there is no reason, and even slapped her maid in front of her, this is even more incomprehensible.

Is that hitting the maid? That's hitting her in the face. If you don't hit her back, wouldn't others think she's easy to bully? Since this is normal aristocratic logic, why does the countess think she can not What about revenge?

It doesn't make sense at all.The reason why she didn't stay there yesterday was because she felt that it felt weird to her. In order to prevent any accidents from happening again, she also chose to leave there quickly.

"Can your wife still recall who she talked to yesterday?"

"Her memory of that time is very vague, and she can't recall it at all."

Looking at the sincere earl in front of him, I can't find any sign that he is lying. The words are here, believe it or not.

"This is really interesting. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing just after I came here. It seems that this place is more complicated than Fafnir."

"This is natural. The central region is a buffer zone between the Fafnir Empire and the Saint Leadman Empire. There are many kingdoms here, and there are countless independent counties. Each of these regions has its own relationship. Tit for tat, but there is me in you and you in me. This is the reason why we have lived in peace for so many years."

"Then, what kind of power is the Fudaril Kingdom?"

"This can only be regarded as a neutral kingdom. The Kingdom of Fudaril is rich in gold and silver, and is one of the main sources of currency for various countries. Many forces do not want to provoke this place, so they make it a neutral country in the center of the mainland. Of course, this In the past dynasties, the kings of the Fudaril Kingdom have also married families of various major forces in the name of marriage."

"That's it. I didn't expect that." Unexpected, but also reasonable, no one wants to fight by himself, the money is gone, after all, the gold is in the other party's hands.

As for the need to control the export of gold, that is even more interesting. The two empires are watching, and some small forces want to jump up and cut off the source of gold. This is not cleverness, it is death.

"Miss, the First Prince has arrived and said he wants to meet you."

Before the two parties finished their conversation, Xueli was a little surprised to hear that the eldest prince came here. She had never seen the eldest prince come to see her on his own initiative before. You must know that the eldest prince had not come here yesterday, he must have just arrived De Limbaugh came to see her.

"Let her come in. Maybe the princess sister has something to say, or a letter for him to deliver to her."

Fuya got up, but her eyes glanced at Earl Stries who was sitting at the side. Seeing the other party's gesture, Stries immediately understood, got up but did not say goodbye, but walked out of the living room with Fuya.

The Little Duke: Chapter 4 Comes After Another ([-])

It was still the same as before. Anyway, Shirley didn't have any affection for the two princes of the Fafnir Empire. She not only caused trouble for her, but also always bullied the princess for their own benefit.If it weren't for the princess not wanting to be emperor, she would have openly supported Princess Adalia.

"Haha, Earl Shirley, oh no, it should be Duke Shirley. Back then, my father was really astute..."

"Your Excellency, if I remember correctly, I was taken in by His Majesty in the royal family because of my father's remote transfer. I was fortunate to grow up with Princess Adalia. You say that, but you want to change the gift of His Majesty to me. It was a deliberate investment."

Looking at the embarrassing eldest prince in front of him with a sneer, the emperor was willing to take her in because of her father's loyalty to the royal family, and it was because of her pity that a child would follow his father to a bitter cold place when he was still a child.

In his mouth, it turned out that the emperor did this on purpose because he knew she would rise in the future?Such words are too utilitarian.

After the embarrassment, the eldest prince never thought that Shirley would be so disrespectful to him. In fact, after thinking about it, he could understand that since Shirley fought with the Principality of Friedland, they never gave her any help. The royal family refused to give her any help that could be offered.Now he came to get close to her again.

"It's my fault. There is something wrong with what I said. Royal father is indeed very kind to you. Unexpectedly, Duke Shirley is so upstanding."

Sitting on the sofa opposite Shirley, the eldest prince was smiling, as if no matter what you said, I would stay, which also made Shirley lose his temper for a while.

What can I do, the dog skin plaster is stuck on, I can't drive it away, and I can't say too harsh words, after all, he is the emperor's uncle's own son, if he doesn't give him face, the uncle's face should be given some.

"Your Highness, this is black tea, please take it easy."

Seeing the black tea that Fuya brought her was poured into the first prince's cup, Shirley felt very unhappy and pouted, but Fuya chuckled lightly and asked the maid behind to bring two different plates of snacks to her. up.

"Miss, I made this with my own hands, you can taste it."

"What about that plate?"

Seeing that there was also a plate in front of the First Prince, Xue Li still couldn't help asking.

"That plate was made by the maid here, and I didn't participate in it."

He whispered to his own lady, seeing her turn from anger to joy after hearing his explanation, Fuya resisted so much that she didn't reach out to rub Xue Li's head in front of others.

It is said that the dim sum made by Fuya is not inferior to that of the imperial family, but the First Prince did not eat the delicacies worthy of his reputation, and the dim sum he had in his mouth was not even as good as his cook.

Although he wanted to ask, he still didn't open his mouth. After all, his purpose of coming here was obvious, that is, to hope that Shirley, the future duke, would have a heart for him, the eldest prince.

This is also the strategy his counselors proposed for him. At this time, Shirley's strength is the strongest above the northern border. the duke.

In fact, normal dukes don't need to be so troublesome, but Shirley's place is the most special. Her territory is not only in the northern border of the empire, but also partly in the northern continent where the Orc Alliance is located.

Therefore, many kingdoms and the St. Leadman Empire require Shirley to become an independent principality. Although it belongs to the Fafnir Empire in name, it is actually an independent principality.

This means that a large part of the territory of the Fafnir Empire will be demarcated, even though it is still part of the empire in name, but in reality it has already been ceded.

Many nobles feel that there is no problem with this kind of thing, but those nobles who are similar to Shirley feel that it is not possible.

In the end, his father, under the pressure from abroad and the influence of domestic nobles, agreed to this request, and even gave up the matter of being a duke.

These details were kept strictly confidential, not only Shirley didn't know, even her personal maid Fuya was kept secret.Did not let her know more about the inside story and reasons for this canonization.

"This is a letter from father and sister to you. Father is very satisfied with your current achievements. Although it will still belong to the Fafnir Empire in name in the future, it can actually be regarded as an independent principality. We can continue our current glory."

"Independent principality?" She stared round her almond eyes, and Xue Li couldn't understand why she became an independent principality. Didn't she just say that she was the Duke of the Fafnir Empire? Why did she suddenly change.

The first prince's words made Fu Yamao suddenly enlightened. She had always wondered why the canonization that could be done in the imperial capital came here.It turned out that this time the lady did not become the Duke of the Fafnir Empire, but made her directly become the lord of an independent principality.

"No, why is this happening? I now have a large amount of territory in the Fafnir Empire. Isn't this cutting off the territory of the Fafnir Empire?"

"Duke Shirley, I hope you can understand your father's painstaking efforts. No matter what, you are his child in his eyes, so he is willing to believe in you. In the future, you will still be the Duke of our Fafnir Empire."

After receiving the two letters from the eldest prince, Xueli did not open them eagerly as she imagined. As usual, Fuya got the letter from Xueli first, but under Xueli's gesture, she did not open it. Immediately opened the envelope, but put it away.

"Your Highness, I think you came to me this time not just to bring a letter and explain this. I wonder if you have anything else to do?"

"As expected of the future duke, there are indeed some things that I came here for. The Duke of Stugalbo of the Duchy of Friedland has been in frequent contact with the Duke of the West, Mokdre, and the Duke of Mokdre is also on the invitation list this time. Among them, it is likely to have an impact on your canonization."

He explained the "reason" for his visit this time to Shirley carefully, and saw that she was still calm.

"Of course, the mere Principality of Morald will not be put in your eyes, but there are faint signs of unity between the two principalities, which is already very telling, and it is said that there are some changes in the elves in the east."

The elves are changing?Xueli said that this was nothing to her. When Li Huamei first went to sea, she had already signed a peace agreement with the elves. They would not attack the elves, and the elves could not attack her territory.

However, during this period of time, the elves also had some small troubles, that is, many slave traders appeared to capture the women of the elves and sell them to the nobles.

How did she know? This is what she saw in the letter sent by Li Huamei. At that time, the elves hoped that she could block the sea, but at that time, all she could think about was reaching the east coast of the mainland. The surface of the sea is naturally not interested.However, she still told herself about it and made her prepare. At least in her territory, elves are absolutely not allowed to be sold as slaves.

The Little Duke: Chapter 5 Comes After Another ([-])

What is the purpose of the First Prince coming here? Xue Li somewhat understands, but she still has not understood the thoughts of Fafnir III. Such a large territory can be lost if it is lost. It is a principality with hundreds of earls Lead, just give up?

You said it was because of the pressure from the nobles and threats from other countries, but she didn't believe it. The Fafnir Empire is a powerful country on the mainland. Even if its military strength has declined now, it is not something that ordinary countries can threaten. , he must have other thoughts to hide.

The eldest prince was sent away, and before Stries came back, he saw a maid rushing over, and another nobleman came to visit, this is also a lord from an independent earldom near the Kingdom of Vdalil .

However, the lord didn't talk about any important things, but simply expressed his admiration to her, especially for her courage to conquer the orcs in the north, and even expressed his admiration.

Sending away this nobleman who is considered a fanboy, and some noblemen brought their children here. Needless to say, the purpose of bringing the children here is that this kind of behavior of thinking about peaches does not need Shirley, Fuya will help her. blocked.

With yesterday's own protection, Fuya is not something ordinary nobles can offend at will.Although these nobles were blocked, they could only dare not speak up and leave angrily.

Finally, the last wave of nobles were sent away, and Earl Stries could finally return to the living room to see the slightly tired little duke again.

"These people have been negotiated, so why come one after another, and they don't even miss the lunch time at noon."

With her mouth pursed, Shirley felt that there was something wrong with the minds of these nobles, and there was no one who came here as a guest at noon.Moreover, among the people who came today, except for the eldest prince and Stries, the others basically had no business.Either come here to sing praises, or come here to talk to her irrelevantly, but they have other plans.

What I hate the most are those boys who are a little older than her. They are simply outrageous. They are obviously naive, but they still have to pretend to be mature. If they want to attract people's attention, they should at least make some preparations. Want to come here to gain her favorability without preparing anything?In the end, not all of them were retreated by Fuya alone.

"Miss, now your status is different from the past, so I don't need to have any close communication with you, as long as I know you by face, it will be excellent for those nobles."

I have seen such aristocrats a lot, and Fuya is not surprised. As a former princess's personal maid, politely rejecting others is her forte.

"Earl Stries, let's continue what we said earlier."

Speaking of those nobles, Shirley was annoyed, so she simply skipped over the group of nobles, and continued what Earl Strathley hadn't finished talking about before.

"Earl Shirley still needs to get used to the behavior of the nobles, especially in our central region. Some weak nobles are sandwiched among many powerful forces. If they can't judge the situation, they may have been annexed long ago."

At this point, he saw that Shirley was obviously lacking in sex and had no interest in those nobles, so he didn't continue talking. Instead, after thinking for a while, he continued his previous story.

"You mean, your wife was cheated by someone, but you can't recall who cheated her?"

From the mouth of Earl Streese, Shirley probably had an understanding of this matter. Although the logic was not very clear, explaining it with a conspiracy did not make her trustworthy.

"Your Excellency, with our central region as the border, although the Fafnir Empire took longer to establish, it is far inferior to the Saint Leadman Empire in the east in terms of magic. And because we are close to the Saint Leadman Empire, we are more or less It will be affected by that side. You may not be able to see it when you just came here, but many of our nobles have had one or two magicians."

Speaking of this, Xue Li will not be sleepy anymore. Her father was killed by a magician's sneak attack. When talking about the magician at this time, Xue Li's eyes faintly burst into light.

"Do you have any other clues about the magician?"

"Although it's unbelievable, some weird magicians have indeed begun to infiltrate the countries in the middle of our country. They use their powerful power to win the favor of various nobles, but these magicians will not take the initiative to serve any force. Instead, with the assistance of money, they will help those nobles solve difficult problems. Moreover, I found that there is more than one such magician."

"You mean, these magicians and the nobles behind them have also formed a huge network of relationships, but if so, won't they conflict? After all, these nobles can't give up on themselves because of those magicians Interests."

"If there is a conflict, it only needs a magician to dispatch it to resolve it."

Shirley fell into deep thought at Stries' words. Indeed, if disputes could be resolved without resorting to force, many nobles would make this choice.However, once there is choice dependence, is the real lord a nobleman or a magician?

###################

On the Northern Continent, although it is the spring of spring for all things, this is not a time for the Goblin Kingdom to be lucky. At first, they thought that the human race was not a threat, and they could take it away with a single wave.

As a result, they were indeed taken away in waves. They were taken away by the human troops. The terrifying attack, like the attack of magic washing the ground, prevented them from forming an effective counterattack at all.In the end, he could only retreat to the mountains, relying on dense forests and mountains as the last barrier.

"Who told me back then that the human race is a bunch of cowards and there is nothing to be afraid of. Now, why are everyone silent?"

By retreating to the mountains, they can sit back and relax?At this time, the human race is still encroaching on their territory little by little, and a large number of soldiers are marching in the mountains.

They originally planned to use the cover of the forest and mountains to continuously attack the troops of the human race entering the mountain, but the general of the human race did not give them any chance at all.

Not only did they march step by step without any flaws, they also actively sent scouts to investigate the surrounding environment, sneak attack?How to sneak attack, one to one ratio to sneak attack the enemy, is that still called sneak attack?

In just a few days, many caves in the mountains have become a credit for the opponent's credit book, and those human troops are still sweeping the goblins in the mountains.

"Damn, is there no way, is there no way at all?"
