Rise In Calradia

Even in the midst of a war, neither the continuous land competition between the South and the Rhodok nor the large-scale melee with the Nords in the north has affected this ancient and prosperous city, and the residents of Suno are still there. It was the same life as in the past. The knights who returned from the war also restarted their battles and hunts, and everything seemed to be restored to the time of peace in the past.

Of course, as soon as people see the ridiculously high prices of those imported goods, they will immediately understand that the war is not over.

After returning to Suno and holding several banquets, Earl Craggs began to thank guests behind closed doors, rarely stepping out of his castle. He had some conflicts with the king before, and led his troops back in anger, but he had no intention of betrayal. In order to restore the relationship between the two sides, the earl sent a large amount of supplies and hundreds of reinforcements to the king's army, and reduced his outings to express his stance to the king.

However, after Byron's troops arrived at Suno and submitted a request to enter the city, Earl Craggs not only agreed to his request, but also invited him to enter the castle for a banquet. Few people were invited to this banquet, and they were all members of the local family of Suno, including Fatis' father Benoit.

Byron went to the castle for a banquet, and the others wandered around the city. In order to prevent the Nord forces and the pirates from conflicting with the locals, Matild, who could have gone with them, voluntarily stayed with them.

Not many people attended the banquet, but because of their status, the banquet was of high grade. The earl’s family attended the banquet. Table Mountain was filled with venison dishes that were also delicacies even in the Swadia noble banquet, and High-end wine from Veruga.

The protagonists on the table are food and wine, and the protagonists in the crowd...even without introducing guests.

Being able to survive the war, return from an enemy country, and organize a battle group comparable to a standing army of earls, this experience is comparable to the heroic stories passed down from ancient times. As the protagonist of this story, Byron became the focus of the crowd very naturally.

The guests came over to chat with him, listening to him telling his own story, and commenting or complimenting him from time to time. Byron said this for almost an hour, constantly answering the questions raised by Suno's dignitaries, and his voice went hoarse. At this time, he very much hopes that someone can help him cope, but unfortunately the heroes are not around.

But what made him feel a trace of relief was Nelda's eyes from time to time, the expression of listening carefully to the story, and the smile from time to time, that was the motivation for him to continue. As the host of the banquet, Earl Craggs rarely spoke during the banquet, and all kinds of things were answered by Mrs. Anna. This made Byron feel a little flustered. The count's attitude is now a bit unclear, and the other party is very important to him, whether it is his support or the recognition of the relationship between him and Nelda.

At the end of the banquet, Benoit came over and talked to Byron alone for a long time. Most of the content was about Fatis. He always insisted on his loyalty to Byron, which made Benoit feel very much. Proud, but also worried about his current situation. He hopes that Byron can rush back to the south as soon as possible, so as not to change the form and put his son into crisis. In addition, he also handed Byron a parchment scroll, which contained information about the South now, none of which contained good news for Byron. He also advised Byron not to fight against Rodok’s army. If there is a problem, immediately abandon the land near Pegunde and Veluga. It is impossible to retreat with the prince to Fort Gruenwald, as long as the Rodoks. If he couldn't capture Gruen Wardburg, he would have the opportunity to regain his territory.

After bidding farewell to Benoit, Byron was left by the earl for the night, which made Byron flattered and puzzled. You know, although he has successfully returned, but after a big failure, he has realized that he is still very weak compared to the old nobles. The earl had already taken a banquet when he arrived, let alone being left to talk alone. At this critical time, the earl's clear gesture must have its purpose.

Byron stayed, but his heart was still uneasy. When the servants began to clean the banquet hall, Mrs. Anna and Nelda returned to the room, and he was taken to the guest room. He was taken by the count’s attendant as soon as he knew where his room was. Brought to the earl's room.

"Sit down, Byron, it's time to have a good chat."

Seeing Byron's arrival, the earl pointed to the seat that had been placed opposite him, and pushed him the red wine that had already been poured.

Byron took a deep breath and sat down a little uneasy. He suddenly felt a sense of meeting his girlfriend's parents. Although their relationship has not been recognized, it is difficult to say whether Nelda's love for him has reached that point.

"I have to admit that you are beyond my imagination." He raised his glass and said lightly.

"You mean I came back alive?" Byron also took a sip of wine. This wine may be of better quality than the wine he hid in Pegunde's cupboard. That bottle of wine was the spoils of the occupation of Viruga. He was reluctant to drink it when he went north to King Qin.

"I know you have a good opinion of Nelda, but I really didn't like you before. You are not a nobleman and have no background. Although you are canonized by the king, your relationship with the royal family is messed up. Count Cles and Old Benoit. I’m very optimistic about you, but I don’t think so. I made an agreement with you before, but the reason I say this is because the king doesn’t want you to live. I think you’ll live soon."

Count Craggs paused when he said that, and found that Byron did not have an expression of anger or dissatisfaction, but nodded slightly, seeming to agree with him.

"But if you can tell me this, it proves that you don't look at it like that now, do you." Byron did not feel dissatisfied or angry. Although the earl's words are a bit uncomfortable, it is indeed true. He did a little bit before. Inflated, and did not correctly estimate his own strength. And since Craggs told him the truth, it meant that he planned to improve his attitude towards him, and it would be a huge change.

Hearing Byron said this, Earl Craggs was a little satisfied. Compared with the last meeting, Byron’s city has improved a lot. This really proves Byron’s potential. Only in this way can he have the value of investment. . .

"Being able to survive on the battlefield, and even go back to Swadia through Nord and Vicia, organize an army to return to your fief, I think you should know how attractive you are. When Hrim set out, I knew this, I am afraid that His Majesty the King will know it earlier. This is why I will tell you these things, because His Majesty does not intend to do it to you, but the premise is that you have to guarantee Loyal to him and his heirs." The earl put down the half-drinking glass, leaned back in the chair, and focused his eyes on Byron.

"My family attendants were separated from the royal family. After King Haraus took the throne, our rule in Suno stabilized. I had always wanted to marry my daughter to Harau, but neither the king nor the arrogant child. I refused! Therefore, I must find a more suitable son-in-law. He is best from a long and powerful family, but he can also be a humble but promising young lord. I have been thinking about this."

Byron immediately sat upright when he heard this, and tried to take the words in a respectful and confident tone: "You are right. You need to find someone who has enough gold, an army, and big ambitions, but also knows how to judge the situation. The lord of, he does not have much background, but has a group of loyal subordinates and soldiers, and is very willing to join your family and form a strong alliance with you that other families cannot reach. Please trust me, give him a little confidence and expectation, You can get unimaginable rewards." Byron licked his face to promote himself, although it was a bit exaggerated, but it was in the ear of the earl.

Count Craggs' eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth slightly cocked.

"After careful consideration, I agree that you—Baron Von Byron will meet with my daughter in private, as long as the behavior you do is my permission. But I have to remind you, Byron, I will not marry my daughter. A country lord who doesn’t even have a castle, a tall fortress is the basic to ensure my daughter’s safety and happiness~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is also a need for family expansion

"Of course, my lord, that is necessary. Maybe the Rhodok castles in the south will change hands in the past two years." Byron naturally agreed to the count's request, as long as he and Nelda If his relationship can be recognized, even if he is allowed to take a city, he will agree. This is not to say that he is really capable of occupying the city in a short period of time, but as long as the relationship is in place and the strength he has accumulated, he holds the existing territory in his hand. The Earl of Swadia will be tempted.

"In addition, you better improve your relationship with the prince. Most of the king’s grievances against you are due to our young little prince. As the sole heir to the royal family, he is now suffering from a headache because of Rodok’s army. Gaining his trust at this time is tantamount to winning a place in the future king's court. At the very least, it will allow King Harous to divide you into your own "person."

"What a wise suggestion. I will definitely show my sincerity before the temple. I believe Prince Harau will forgive me."

The two smiled at each other and raised their glasses to touch each other. And the girl who was eavesdropping outside the door also flashed a blush on her face...
