My Pokémon Player

Just as Freya was talking to the Flame Lion King, a young noble in gorgeous armor rode a Flame Lion to Freya's side.

He looked at Freya affectionately, with undisguised admiration on his face.

"Miss Freya, we are about to arrive at Firefly Town. Should we send someone to inform Baron Ryan of Firefly Town in advance?" the young noble asked in a gentle voice.

Freya glanced at him and a decent and distant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"No need, the king's envoy did not make this request, so we naturally cannot interfere."

The young noble understood and said, "I see, you are still thoughtful."

"Baron Gray is too flattering, I just don't want to cause trouble for my father."

Freya said softly, her voice as sweet as a silver bell.

Gray shook his head: "How can this be an exaggeration? Just based on your filial piety to the Marquis, you deserve all the praise in the world."

Freya's eyes flashed a barely perceptible chill. She didn't want to say anything more, but just nodded slightly to Gray.

Any noble who had a little insight knew that Freya was hinting that she didn't want to talk anymore.

However, Gray may not have seen through it at all, or he may have pretended not to see it, and continued:

"In fact, even if we didn't send someone to notify, the nobles who know etiquette would go out of the city to welcome us, and some would even go out of the city three miles to welcome us."

"But we are almost at Firefly Town, and we still haven't seen the welcoming team. It seems that Baron Ryan doesn't know much about the etiquette between nobles."

"It's normal. His family is just a small noble family in the countryside. He doesn't have any family background. The highest title he has seen is probably Viscount."

"If it weren't for his good luck, I'm afraid he would never see the envoy of His Majesty the King and the most beloved Gaoling Flower of your Lordship the Marquis in this life."

Freya couldn't keep her smile after hearing this. She looked Indifferently said:

"Baron Ryan did not rely on etiquette to obtain the King's reward and the recognition of his father."

"Moreover, the etiquette of the nobility only stipulates that when welcoming the king's envoy, you must go out of the city to welcome him, but does not stipulate the distance of going out of the city."

"We haven't arrived at Firefly Town yet, how do you know that Baron Ryan doesn't know etiquette?"

"Even if he really didn't go out of the city to welcome him, the King's envoy will handle it, and you don't need to worry about it."

"What? Are you going to rebuke Baron Ryan on behalf of the King and my father, and then declare war on him?"

When Gray heard this, he panicked and stammered:

"I... I don't mean that."

"Oh, I don't think you dare."

Freya said in a cold tone, with a disdainful expression on her face.

"In addition, Baron Ryan's family is not well-known, but his father had fought with my father and was deeply appreciated by my father."

"If Baron Ryan's father had not been reluctant to give up his territory and was unwilling to follow my father back to Lion City, perhaps his family would have long become the backbone of Lion City."

After deciding to match his daughter with Ryan, Marquis Cross sent someone to investigate Ryan's family, and then he heard the familiar name of Baron Nord.

When he summoned the noble coalition, he was impressed by this baron who was not coerced by merchants and fought against the mercenaries of Guanhai City alone. He once thought of bringing him back to Lion City and cultivating him as his confidant.

But Nord declined his invitation on the grounds that he could not bear to abandon his subjects.

Although Marquis Cross felt a little regretful at the time, he did not take it to heart.

After all, at that time, he was suppressing the rebellion and summoning the noble coalition, and he was at the time of complacency.

Baron Nord is quite outstanding, but he has no shortage of talents under his command, so he didn't force it.

Who would have thought that Baron Nord is not only outstanding himself, but also has a son who is better than him.

If he knew that Nord's son had unlimited potential and could become the hope for the survival and development of Lion City, he would have tied Nord to Lion City even if he had to.

Unfortunately, there is no if in the world. He could only regretfully tell Freya about this matter and repeatedly reminded his daughter not to repeat the same mistake and to tie Ryan to the chariot of their Flame Lion family.

Freya agreed on the surface, but in fact she was more disappointed with her father.

When did the Flame Lion family need the help of outsiders to continue.

They are lions galloping on the grassland, not paparazzi who need human protection! (Paparazzi:???)

Thinking of this, Freya's mood became a little bad. She said to Gray with a bad expression:

"Don't underestimate any family. The ancestor of our Flame Lion family is just a knight."

"The title of your family's previous generations was only a baron. If your grandfather and father had not made great military achievements, you might not even be a knight now."

"Finally, I hate the title of 'Flower of the High Ridge' very much. If you mention it again, go back to Lion City!"

After that, Freya no longer paid attention to Baron Gray with an ugly face, and gently clamped her legs, signaling the Flame Lion King to speed up.

After receiving the signal, the Flame Lion King slapped the lioness who was posing under Gray's crotch with a claw.

What is your identity, you are worthy of mating with me!

"Roar!"

The Flame Lion King roared and then ran towards Firefly Town.

The other Flame Lion Knights saw Gray being defeated in front of Freya, and their expressions were different.

Some people were gloating, some were scornful of Gray, and some were smiling meaningfully.

All nobles who can be selected into the Flame Lion Knights are either the descendants of Marquis of Cross's close associates, or knights who have made military exploits and are recognized by Marquis of Cross.

The former has a special status, and the latter has the Marquis of Cross as his backer. Even if Gray is backed by the Iron Guard family, they don't need to be too afraid.

Therefore, they did not hide their expressions. Some nobles who also had a crush on Freya even laughed out loud and said in a sinister way:

"Why was Baron Gray so stunned? He quickly caught up and continued to circle around Miss Freya~"

"Hahahahaha, after hearing what you said, I suddenly felt that Baron Gray looked like a Pokémon."

"Could it be a coyote dog that comes and goes away as soon as you call it?"

"Hey! Don't say that. I am a popular person in front of the Marquis, and he is highly valued by the Marquis."

"Hmph, what's important is just relying on the protection of the family. He still has the nerve to say that other people's families have no foundation. His family is also a nouveau riche."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and follow Miss Freya!"

The leader of the knights frowned and interrupted everyone's ridicule.

This knight commander has been fighting with the Marquis of Cross since he was a child, and is the oldest of the group of Flame Lion knights.

Even this group of young nobles with eyes above their heads did not dare to ignore his orders. They all leaned forward to accept the orders, and then drove the flaming lions to chase Freya.

They passed by Gray, most of them with sarcastic smiles on their faces.

Only a few knights stopped for a moment and comforted Gray, telling him not to take this matter to his heart.

When Gray heard what they said, he forced a smile on his face as black as coal:

"I understand that Miss Freya scolded me for my own good."

"That's why I want to prevent Miss Freya from being deceived by that lucky country noble!"

"I want to prove to Miss Freya that Baron Lane is just in name!"

After Gray finished speaking, he confidently rode the flaming lion and chased the large army.

The remaining Flame Lion knights looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?"

"It looks a bit like it to me. His family is also the Lion Guard after all. Don't they have any outstanding descendants? We have to push him out."

"Never mind him, no matter how hard he tries, he will still be the Lion Guard in the future. Miss Freya can only say a few words about him."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Iron Guard family, it would be great if my family was also one of the Iron Guards."

"In my dream, the Gray family made an exception and became the new Iron Guard family by standing on the right side twice in succession. If you want to become the Iron Guard, you and your descendants must also successfully stand on the right side twice."

"Forget it then. The competition in the Flame Lion family has always been cruel. If you don't pay attention, the whole family will be ruined. I don't want the family inheritance to be destroyed in my hands."

"In this case, don't envy others the status of Iron Guard that they obtained through family inheritance. This is what they deserve."

"That's true, but the Gray family's luck will not continue to be good. At least this Baron Gray can't maintain the glory of the Iron Guard family."

"Maybe"

——

Soon, Freya and her group arrived outside Firefly Town.

When they saw the huge welcoming team outside the city, they all subconsciously looked towards Baron Gray.

Didn't you say that Baron Lane didn't understand etiquette? As a result, the welcome ceremony was made so grand. Didn't your face hurt?

Gray was naturally aware of the knights' peripheral vision. His face was expressionless, but his hands tightly holding the reins still revealed his inner irritability.

The king's envoy looked at the large welcoming team in front of him and felt his face light up. He cheerfully said to Freya beside him:

"I thought that Baron Lane would be a little arrogant after becoming famous at a young age, but I didn't expect that he would put down his dignity and go out of the city to greet us in person."

If it had been before the decline of the royal family, Ryan's behavior would have been normal.

But now that the royal family has declined, not only has its power been emptied out by the four major families, but it has also lost its local rule, and its prestige has been greatly reduced.

Coupled with the intentional or unintentional suppression by the four major families, even the nobles in the royal capital did not respect the royal family much, let alone the feudal lords.

Some lords will still do superficial things, while others will disdain the so-called king's messenger.

The four major families also know this. Every time the king's messenger is ignored, they will publicize it to weaken the respect of the common people and nobles for the royal family.

The method of propaganda was to punish the humiliated messengers of the kingdom.

Therefore, the status of the King's envoy, which was originally very popular, has become a hot potato. No one wants to travel all the way to be humiliated and have to accept punishment after returning.

The king's messenger was also marginalized, so he took over this hard job.

Fortunately, Baron Lane still showed some respect and made the welcome ceremony extra grand.

Although I don't know if it was just superficial, at least it gave him a decent face, and the envoy could make an explanation after he returned without being punished. How could he not be happy about this?

Freya smiled happily when she saw that the king's messenger was just coming out of the city to welcome them, and sighed sadly in her heart.

It seems that the royal family is really lonely. If the royal family chooses the wrong heir, it will decline, and the Yanshi family will naturally be no exception.

No! She will never allow the Flame Lion family to be destroyed by her brothers!

Freya's eyes gradually became firm, and then she responded with a smile:

"Yes, it is because of you that I can let the famous Baron Ryan go out of the city to welcome him."

The envoy's smile became brighter when he heard this: "Don't say that, maybe I am grateful to you, after all, I have heard of Miss Freya's reputation in the capital."

Freya said calmly: "It's all spread by the subordinates, sorry to make you laugh."

"Hahahaha, Miss Freya, don't be modest, I believe that Baron Ryan will also be amazed by your beauty."

"Let's go, don't let Baron Ryan wait anxiously, I also want to see what kind of welcome ceremony he organized."

As soon as the envoy finished speaking, there was a sound of gongs and drums in front.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the welcoming team was divided into several parts.

Some people held some kind of copper instrument and drumsticks, playing a piece of music that they had never heard before, but it sounded particularly cheerful.

Others waved two red cloths and performed a simple but beautiful dance.

There were also a large number of people holding colorful flags, waving them and shouting:

"Welcome, welcome! Warm welcome!"

The messenger looked at the strange and lively welcome ceremony in front of him, and asked Freya in confusion:

"Miss Freya, please forgive my short-sightedness, is this a unique welcome ceremony in your Southeast Province?"

Freya retracted her gaze and said with a wry smile:

"No, in fact, I have never seen such a strange welcome ceremony."

"Then what are they doing..."

"Maybe it's a local feature. Although it doesn't meet the reception requirements of the nobles, it feels good."

The messenger nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this welcome ceremony mixed with music and dance has a different feeling, which makes people want to participate in it."

"But I still don't understand one thing, why do they dress up as two pigs fighting for tree fruits?"

"Those are not pigs, they are two lions!"

A clear voice interrupted the conversation between the messenger and Freya.

The two turned their heads and saw a handsome young man in a black suit walking over.

His steps were calm and firm, and the aura he exuded could not be ignored.

He looked like a gorgeous sword that had just been unsheathed, which made people want to admire him, but also afraid of being hurt by the sword.

Of course, it would be better if he didn't have that awkward smile on his face.

The messenger knew that this young noble should be Baron Ryan, but just in case, he still asked:

"You are Ryan"

Before the messenger finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded.

"How dare you insult the Yanshi family!"

Ryan frowned when he heard this, wondering where this clown came from? (End of this chapter)
