Blue Sword

Asker chatted with Mao Zhongwei and others for a while, and decided to go to the fortress to rest first. After all, Academician Shao Gangang was old, and his body couldn't bear it just after coming down from such a high mountain.

As a group of people entered the fortress, a call was made from inside to Count Frederick of the Sauron family.

Of course Frederick knew the importance of this matter. After all, Her Royal Highness Sophie had told him to pay attention to Mont Blanc in the south of the territory and notify her immediately if anything happened.

The Chatel Fortress in the south was also built for this reason. Now he actually met the leader of the Blue Sword here... and Frederick immediately realized that something was wrong.

Since Her Highness is already the eldest princess of the empire, she should have left the mercenary group long ago. No one knows what grudges the two sides had before.

Therefore, Frederick did not dare to neglect and quickly called the Imperial Knights.

Now that the upper limit of the magic tide has been raised to Level 40, the Holy See's technological products are no longer at risk of being burned. Thanks to the good relationship between the Saint of the Vatican and His Highness the Empire, things like electric lights and telephones have become widely available in the Empire.

Soon the knights notified His Highness, who personally talked to Frederick on the phone, which made him quite excited.

His Highness sent the highest instruction: these people should be pacified and must stay in the Chatel Fortress.

So the order was passed down layer by layer, directly to the middle-aged noble in charge of the fortress.

The nobleman quickly asked people to prepare the best food and wine for a banquet tonight, and got the four people drunk. If they wake up tomorrow and want to leave, we will organize another hunting trip... In short, we will do everything possible to hold them back.

However, before the banquet started in the evening, a stream of light flew from the northeast and took the form of Eleanor in the fortress.

"Ask!" She rushed into the castle hall, saw Ask sitting on the chair in shock, and immediately ran over in surprise.

"Eleanor?" Ask was slightly startled.

The knight who was still a little green back then has now matured like a peach: her golden wavy hair is coiled on her chest, supported by towering mountains. Under the close-fitting white-backed black cross knight's robe, there is a curvy figure that cannot be concealed, as well as super long legs that are extremely pleasing to the eye.

She neatly took off the cloak behind her back with one hand, threw it on the table next to her, and hurriedly rushed to Asker, as if she was about to throw herself into his arms, but stopped in front of him, feeling a little uncomfortable. He twirled his hands in amusement and showed a gentle smile:

"Are you back?"

"Well, I'm back." Ask also smiled and stood up from the chair.

The middle-aged nobles and attendants nearby, as well as Mao Zhongwei, Yu Ziwen and others, could not see the eagerness with which His Highness rushed in, and the tenderness and sweetness in his eyes at this moment... almost turned into sugar water.

It looks like he is deeply in love.

Mao Zhongwei silently looked at Yu Ziwen and communicated with each other with their eyes:

Is this His Highness from the Holy Solomon Empire?

Yes, it should be, that's right.

Shinra is also the largest force in this world. We must have a good relationship.

Do you still need to make friends? I feel that as long as our comrade marries her, the diplomacy of the Shinra Empire will be rock solid and impregnable, and it can immediately rise to the level of our country's "all-weather strategic partner" in this world. I am looking for a foothold on this trip. Even if the goal is initially achieved.

"Hey, let me introduce you." Asik didn't leave the others alone for too long and began to introduce them to Eleanor.

"This is Viscount Graf, who warmly invites us to attend his dinner today."

"Your Highness, I feel extremely honored to receive your visit." The middle-aged nobleman was overjoyed and quickly made a noble salute. Eleanor smiled and nodded in response.

"These are all people from my side of the world. Comrade Mao Zhongwei, from the Ministry of Security, is similar to the profession of the Blade Warrior secretary here; Comrade Yu Ziwen, from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is similar to the emperor's spokesperson here; Academician Shao Gangang, from the Academy of Sciences, is similar to your imperial archbishop."

"Hello." Eleanor greeted each one politely.

Several people on Mao Zhongwei's side also behaved very politely. Although they are all big guys on the earth, here... they really have nothing to offer or status. If it weren't for Asker's relationship, let alone His Imperial Highness, he would not even be in charge of the fortress. Even Viscount Graf was not qualified to see it.

"Have you seen your mother since you went back?" Eleanor retracted her gaze and looked at Aske again with a smile.

"See, she's in good health." Ask replied.

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Eleanor's blue eyes looked at him lovingly.

"It's hard to say, I'm still thinking about it." Asik smiled.

"Why don't you leave." Eleanor took the initiative to hold his hand.

Asker:? ? ?

He was slightly caught off guard, and the people next to him, whether it was Viscount Graf, Mao Zhongwei, Yu Ziwen and others, were almost all excited and winking at him crazily.

Promise her!

Of course, the people present were all older people. It was definitely impossible to shout "Promise her!" "Promise her!" like young people, but they only showed anxious expressions that they were eager to help Aske agree immediately.

"Where do you live now?" Asked.

"It depends on the situation. Sometimes I stay at Weisbach Palace, and sometimes I go back to the Grand Palace in Aachen." Eleanor replied, "By the way, I formed a knighthood."

She pointed to the black cross coat of arms on a white background and said with a smile:

"I designed it, does it look good?"

Well, it's big, and the curves are nice... Ask smiled and nodded.

So Eleanor took his hand and walked out. Viscount Graf quickly stopped the remaining three people, preventing them from following him like light bulbs.

"You have been gone for almost six years." Eleanor whispered as she walked in the leaf-covered courtyard of the fortress.

"Yeah." Ask nodded, "Actually, I only spent 6 days there."

"The flow of time is inconsistent?" Eleanor pondered slightly.

"Hey, you guessed pretty quickly." Ask said in surprise.

"Why don't you go back, or bring your mother over?" Eleanor suggested, "Since you can bring someone over now..."

"It doesn't matter." Asik said easily, "Even if I stay here for thirty years, it will only be one month for my mother over there. Just go back and see her occasionally."

"That's true." Eleanor nodded.

After a while, she said with some resentment:

"You don't even ask me if I've been doing well these past few years..."

"So how are you doing?" Ask asked awkwardly.

"It's not bad." Eleanor said with a smile, "I lead the knights around the empire, mainly to solve and pacify the civil wars and rebellions in various principalities. It is similar to the mercenary group in the past."

She paused and continued: "Well, I have been the leader of the Knights for a long time, and sometimes I always have the illusion that I am a man. But the family and ministers in Aachen are very annoying, and they have been trying to encourage me in the early years. Sitting on the Iron Throne, it is now obvious that I am not interested in the emperor, and he is urging me to get married all day long, probably because he wants to create an heir for me."

"Oh, I've been waiting for you for too long. They probably don't understand. They always introduce young noble men to me and add them to my knights one by one. They always say, 'I would like to start with my knights' retinue.' ,hehe."

Eleanor smiled slyly and kicked away the pebbles on the roadside: "I will arrange for them to serve as retinues for the knights in their 40s."

"It's too bad of you to be like this." Aske joked, "I'm here for you, but I don't really want to be a retinue for the great man."

"Yeah, I think so too." Eleanor nodded seriously, "But there's nothing I can do. I'm your knight. I have to at least communicate with you when I take a personal retinue, right? But you're not here, so I can't bring anyone here. Let me show you, they are all handsome aristocratic pretty boys, what if you come back and get jealous?"

"Well……"

"How about this." Eleanor showed a beautiful smile, "In order to eliminate these people's thoughts, the best way is to confirm my marriage and let them give up completely."

"Let's get married, Ask." She stopped and suggested seriously.
