Adult fairy tale: Starting with social security black silk Little Red Riding Hood!

A casual sword strike would likely send them both packing.

Even guards should understand social etiquette.

Some people can be stopped.

But stopping others might lead to a future as abruptly ended as their footsteps.

Especially since this man is the Honorary Grand Knight of the Auston Kingdom. With that title, no one in the entire palace dares to stop him.

What does Honorary Knight even mean?

Looking at the Auston Kingdom, besides the King, whose status is higher than his, every other noble must bow to Rhode.

Even the Queen must give a half-bow.

Inside the study, Jesibel was looking at the tax registers with a headache.

Hearing the footsteps and seeing Rhode walk in, her expression didn't seem surprised.

"Not discussing the Honorary Knight matter with you was my...

"I didn't come here for that."

Rhode casually interrupted Jesibel's carefully prepared speech.

"Hmm? Not for that matter? Then what do you want?"

Jesibel was slightly stunned, her expression showing a hint of surprise. She thought this guy was coming to question her, and she had even prepared her excuses.

But Rhode didn't seem to care about the matter at all, which caught her off guard.

"Of course, it's about choosing the Queen. I happen to have time now, so I can set off."

Rhode said matter-of-factly.

He didn't have time to argue with Jesibel about these trivial matters. In his eyes, choosing the Queen was the most important thing right now.

After all, if nothing unexpected happened, he would be the one to have the first 'friction' with the Queen on their wedding day.

If he couldn't choose a suitable Queen, then he would have to consider running away.

He couldn't possibly sleep with someone he couldn't stand.

Whether he could find someone he liked was one thing, but whether he dared to go through with it was another.

Actually, he wasn't too worried about the future Queen's appearance.

After all, as a noble, marrying and having children meant he definitely wouldn't choose an ugly woman. Even if she wasn't exceptional, she would at least be of above-average beauty.

After generations of inheritance, even if an ancestor was a goblin descendant, they wouldn't be too ugly.

However, the private lives of nobles were a bit too rampant.

Calling it promiscuity and debauchery would be an understatement.

As long as they caught their eye, no matter the place or thing...

Animals, demi-humans, alien races...

As long as one had a strong tolerance, the complexity of those noble ladies' tricks and the boldness of their fetishes would definitely exceed your imagination.

The Queen he was looking for didn't necessarily have to be a virgin, but at least she couldn't be a common whore that even dogs would spit on.

Finding a chaste and pure virgin among the nobles was no easy task.

However, finding a clean-living, innocent young woman with not too much experience was possible.

What if he couldn't find one?

He didn't have that kind of dedication.

If he really couldn't find a suitable Queen, he would leave this headache to Jesibel to solve herself.

He would have to start thinking about how to run away and inherit his title and territory.

Just for this kind of thing?

Looking at Rhode's serious expression, Jesibel felt somewhat helpless. After all, she hadn't even taken the Queen selection seriously herself.

Marriages between nobles, though called marriages, were actually useless.

As long as conflicts of interest were involved, even if it was one's father-in-law or brother-in-law, they would still fight.

And perhaps fight even harder.

The Queen, in essence, exists only to produce offspring.

Her only use is to give birth to an heir to the throne for the King.

She might have a certain status, but it wouldn't be high.

The reason those Kings cared so much about the Queen was purely because of desire.

Things that have just been obtained are treated with great enthusiasm due to temporary hormones and passion.

Once the novelty wears off, the pearl once held in their hands is just a decoration.

Most Kings would rather spend a pleasant night in the bed of their minister's beautiful wife than spend an unforgettable day with their Queen.

Of course, empty Queens certainly have others to comfort them.

She was a woman, so she had no interest in Queens at all.

If it weren't to appease those ministers and nobles and avoid suspicion about her being a woman...

She wouldn't have chosen to marry a Queen at all.

Rhode, a powerful knight who could single-handedly kill giants, was so concerned about the Queen's matter, which made it difficult for her to understand.

"Could it be that this guy really likes women?"

Jesibel's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Rhode differently.

It's difficult to target someone without any flaws or weaknesses.

But if this guy also had weaknesses, then he wouldn't seem so difficult to deal with.

She didn't want to do anything to Rhode, she just wanted this powerful knight to become the sword and guardian of the Auston Kingdom.

If there was such a powerful knight who could slay giants to deter them, the surrounding kingdoms would certainly not dare to launch a war against the Auston Kingdom.

And she would have enough time to develop this not-so-rich country into a thriving nation.

So that all the common people could live happy lives.

However, where would she find so many women to win over this guy?

Did she have to gather the beautiful wives and daughters of those noble ministers into the palace and let this guy choose at will?

Whichever one he liked, he could spend a pleasant night with.

But did she need to do that?

Even without her, with this guy's charm and strength, and the title of Honorary Knight...

Wouldn't those widowed noblewomen who had been lonely for who knows how long eagerly flock to him for a wonderful and thrilling encounter?

Headache!

Forget it, think about it later.

Let's get rid of this guy first.

Jesibel took out a piece of parchment, then wrote and drew on it. A few minutes later, she handed the written parchment to Rhode.

"Take this. You can mobilize a portion of the palace guards. A minister will tell you the invitation list for this ball."

"You just need to deliver the invitations to those nobles, and then you can meet those noble ladies."

Rhode took the parchment, turned around, and left.

He gathered a team of knights and obtained the list of nobles to be invited to the ball from the minister.

Adding up the big and small, there were nearly thirty or fifty.

From the most ordinary baron, there were even two marquis nobles near the Auston Kingdom.

Although it was rare for a marquis to marry his daughter to a small earl, it wasn't impossible.

If there were no suitable nobles of the same rank to marry near the territory, they would have to choose to marry a lower-ranked noble.

So, it was never wrong to try one's luck.

Success was the best outcome, failure was no loss.

Rhode took the crude map, sorted out the locations of these nobles, and set a route.

He could deliver the invitations to all the nobles in the shortest amount of time.

"There are more nobles in such a remote place than I imagined."

Rhode muttered softly.

Don't underestimate his current status as a messenger delivering invitations. He represents the future King of the Auston Kingdom.

Theoretically, the King's first impression of these noble ladies comes from his words.

Therefore, those noble ladies who want to marry the King, in order to leave a good impression on the King, usually treat the messenger who delivers the invitations very warmly.

Including, but not limited to, using their bodies to conquer the messenger with their feminine charm.

Then, they would convey their strengths and superb skills to the King's ears through the messenger's mouth.

After all, the most important four keys for most Kings in choosing their Queen are figure, appearance, skills, and etiquette.

Without a perfect figure and appearance, it's not enough to attract the King's attention.

Without enough skills, they can't enjoy the best married life after marriage.

As for etiquette, no King wants to marry a commoner with no education or manners.

Therefore, in order to gain the messenger's praise, those noble ladies will spare no effort in entertaining the messenger.

If they encountered a noble family with more than one noble lady, or a mature and beautiful noble lady, the messenger would be in for a treat.

Believe it, a down-and-out petty noble would pay any price to make his daughter the King's Queen.

Of course, in addition to that, they also needed to follow a professional court painter to paint the faces of those noble ladies.

To allow the King to prepare in advance and choose his favorite noble lady.

To prevent hesitation at the ball.

So, his responsibility on this trip was heavy.

"I wonder if I can handle it."

Rhode muttered softly, his eyes looking at Jack beside him.

The reason he brought Jack here was naturally to share the workload.

If they encountered those noble ladies who weren't very clean or pretty, he could give him a chance.

It was also a two-pronged approach.

As for whether Jack would refuse?

Don't be ridiculous.

A poor boy born as a commoner, the most beautiful women he's ever seen in his life are probably the rustic serfs in the village.

Without a single clean piece of clothing, covered in dust all day, and their skin tanned by the sun because of labor.

Having the opportunity to contact such upper-class noble ladies, don't even mention refusing.

He'd probably laugh in his dreams.

The cavalry's speed was very fast, and in just half an hour, they had already left the territory of the Auston Kingdom.

They arrived at the territory of the first baron noble.

Rhode had someone send the invitation, glancing at the noble lady with fair skin but not outstanding looks.
