Crusader Kings: Prisoners of War

After leaving Orville, Tia did not go to find her staff and adjutant, but went directly to Domxia's house not far away. Then, regardless of Domxia's curious questions, she fell on the bed in the middle of the courtyard. After a long time, she reluctantly looked up at her sister with a slightly red face.

"I probably said it according to your words, it should be successful, but doesn't it seem a bit too frivolous and indecent? How can a woman take the initiative to say these things."

"It's okay, sister, it's just like encountering risks in marching and fighting. You have to make a choice. Hesitating is the most meaningless behavior."

"I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be taught by you." Tia raised her arms slightly, rubbed Domxia's long golden hair vigorously, and then quickly collapsed, buried her face in her arms, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Domxia was also a little speechless about her sister who was extremely conservative and didn't know how to adapt. This was the only place where she was confident that she would surpass her sister. After all, she still had the most basic sensitivity and delicacy of a girl.

Although she was still a little immature at the age of 13 or 14, people of this era generally married and had children early, so they knew what they should know, at least not completely ignorant. In Domitia's opinion, Tia was an older leftover woman in every sense.

She was almost 26 years old and still not married. Even in modern times, if she was born in a conservative family, she would probably be urged to get married, not to mention at this time. If nothing unexpected happened, Domitia felt that her sister would be single for the rest of her life if she ran for the Vestal Virgin.

Domitia didn't know how her father was going to deal with Orville. She originally thought that he would be engaged to her sister, but after so long, there was still no news. Vesper was not so cautious that even her family members were on guard. She herself tended to think that this matter had not been determined yet.

Domitia might not understand those very complicated political issues. Her current understanding was that "Orville might not be her sister's husband."

For a short period of time, Domitia actually had some doubts about Orville's sexual orientation, because although he was very nice to her sisters, it was basically the kind of niceness that the family got along well with, not the pursuit or courtship, and in Orville's life trajectory, apart from the two of them, there were no other women if the servants in the house were not counted.

If he was a married man with a family, this could be explained as being responsible for the family. If he was simply not interested in women and didn't like to interact with people, that could also be understood. The problem was that Orville also ran to the sweaty military camp every day, and he insisted on working day and night. When Domitia was not familiar with him, she once thought that he really had some elegant hobbies, but later she found that he was really not interested.

Thanks to this, she was not too anxious about this matter, but after Jeanna Darker appeared, things became a little subtle.

When Domitia was writing the "Diary", she clearly felt that Orville was very interested in Jeanne d'Acre. This interest was very strong, obviously more than Orville's interest in his right-hand men. Belisarius, Procopius, Stilicho and others did not have this situation.

If Domitia knew that Jeanne d'Acre was the Chosen One, she might understand this, but only Orville and Vespa knew about this matter, and at most Tia. She was not old enough to be exposed to these things. Without this information, and naturally without any sentimental bonus for the name of Joan of Arc, she would naturally consider other directions.

According to the few love knowledge she heard from her friends or learned from Greek dramas, a person's interest in the opposite sex is the beginning of falling in love with each other. This statement is not necessarily accurate, but it is enough to arouse Domitia's vigilance.

Among her sister's possible marriage partners, Orville is the most likely one, and the only one that Domitia doesn't dislike. She even has a good impression of Orville, so she naturally doesn't want Tia to be caught in a trap at this time.

That's why she urged Tia to move to Orville, and also told Tia about Jeanne Dacre's affairs in an exaggerated way, just to stimulate Tia a little.

The effect is quite significant, but looking at Tia, who has basically been sunk by shame and is in a rare state of lying dead, she feels helpless and relieved at the same time.

Tia's performance was too perfect before, and having such a sister was really stressful for Domitia. On the one hand, she was unwilling to be silent and wanted to catch up with her sister, and on the other hand, she couldn't catch up with her sister in any direction. Now, looking at her sister who is troubled by emotions like a normal girl, she is relieved and feels a little closer to her sister.

Orville was typical and didn't think too much. He just cleaned up the venue according to the other party's requirements and asked the chef to make an extra meal. Everything else was the same as usual.

Indeed, the final result was similar to his estimate. Because Tia's work and rest time was too regular, the two of them basically didn't bump into each other when they got up in the morning or went to bed at night. Moreover, neither he nor Tia was reckless or had any quirks that were not known to outsiders. Those welfare scenes could only be imagined. Fortunately, Orville didn't have any expectations from the beginning, so he was not disappointed.

Back to the point, he was quite happy that Tiya moved in, because someone could accompany him for three meals a day, and they could talk about something relaxing during meals. There was no essential conflict between his and Tiya's three views, and their knowledge reserves were not bad, so it was a very pleasant thing to chat with each other.

After all, people are not machines. After suppressing the tedious political and military affairs, they always have to relax for a while, and Orville felt that he was in a much better mood these days.

Time passed uneventfully for more than ten days until Tiya issued an order to reorganize the Gaul army.

There were about 40,000 to 50,000 Gallic troops who surrendered or were captured. Tiya issued an amnesty to them, pardoning their crimes, but also put forward requirements and a notice to recruit soldiers.

She wanted to recruit archers from the Gauls, about 2,000 in number, and would give priority to recruiting from Gaul soldiers and experienced hunters. It was not forced conscription or compulsory service. Tiya took out something that was enough to make the Gauls excited, so there was an endless stream of people coming to apply.
