"This...unknown gentleman..." Roger stopped and Montoya said coldly: "What else do you want?"
The second son of the dignified Grand Duke was actually called "Mr. Unknown". Roger's title made the already angry Montoya even more angry. He pointed at his bodyguards who were dead and injured and said loudly: "Sir Viscount, my
If one of the servants is dead or injured, what do you think we should do?"
"First of all, I want to correct your title. I am now a count." The angrier Montoya became, the calmer Roger became. He glanced at the two bodyguards on the ground and said, "They attacked and tried to kill me. This is not right."
What a good idea. Bonnie, according to local law, what is the punishment for assassinating the lord?"
Speaking of the law, the female knight immediately became serious and said loudly with a pretty face: "Hanging or beheading!"
At this time, two teams of patrolling guards had arrived at the scene. They were all stunned when they saw Roger, and then they all saluted the lord and said hello. After several months of training, the guards all looked like soldiers.
This can be seen from their neat queue and brave momentum. Although they cannot be compared with the soldiers trained by the Castle Hub, they are much stronger than ordinary soldiers. Chris has spent a lot of time in these days.
.
Roger nodded gently to his men with a gentle smile, then pointed at Montoya's bodyguard who was still alive and said with a solemn expression: "This man tried to assassinate your lord, now... he will be executed in accordance with the law.
Bar!"
"You're crazy!" Roger's words drove Montoya crazy. He shouted in disbelief: "I am the second son of the Grand Duke of Bordeaux in the Grand Duchy of Conté. These two are my knights. How dare you confront me?"
Their murderous attack is tantamount to declaring war on the Grand Duchy of Conté!"
In fact, Montoya is talking nonsense now. Declaring war is a big deal. Even if his father, the Grand Duke of Bordeaux, came in person, he would not say such words easily.
In fact, the Grand Duke of Bordeaux would never declare war on Kent Town just for the lives of two knights. When encountering such a thing, the Grand Duke's first reaction would definitely be to immediately distance himself and declare that the assassination of Roger by the two knights was their own.
This behavior has nothing to do with the Grand Duchy of Conté. At the same time, he announced that these two people would be revoked from their knighthoods. In short, he wanted to completely eliminate himself.
However, Montoya is just a playboy and does not have the political acumen of his father. Maybe he would not be so impulsive in normal times, but the way Roger and Bonnie were getting intimate at the moment angered Montoya and made him say it regardless.
Threat of war.
Roger is not afraid of the Grand Duchy of Conté. Not long ago, he made the Three Desert Kingdoms go crazy and got a lot of benefits. He is not afraid of another war. So Roger didn't even look at Montoya.
Without hesitation, he shouted: "Execute my orders!"
"Follow your orders!" The security team members didn't care who Montoya was, they only followed the orders of the lord. As Montoya shouted angrily, the injured bodyguard soon turned into a corpse.
After Montoya viciously cursed Roger and returned to the Earl's Mansion, it didn't take long for several stewards in the territory to get the news and come over. After returning to his residence, Roger could finally relax and sit in a comfortable chair in the study.
He sipped the drink served by the pretty maid Lisa and told Bonnie and others about his experiences in the past few months.
Of course, Roger also deliberately concealed his resignation as Minister of War and his worries about the Hamilton family. It was good for him to know these things himself, and others could not help him. Speaking of them would only increase everyone's troubles. In this case,
There is really no need to express the joyful moment of reunion after a long separation.
Everyone was very happy to hear that Roger almost single-handedly won the entire war and received the title of earl. As time went by, everyone felt more and more that Roger was a good lord. Roger was a good person.
He is kind and never speaks harshly to his subordinates, and is even kind to ordinary guardsmen; at the same time, he is also dedicated to building his territory and letting everyone live a healthy life.
In the past days, unlike some lords who frequently increased taxes and tortured civilians who could not pay the taxes; on the contrary, the lords taxed the residents in the territory very little, so little that it was almost negligible, but it happened
Even so, the income of the territory is still growing rapidly, which makes everyone very satisfied. When the lord mentions it, he gives a thumbs up and praises it.
It is a very pleasant thing to work under such a lord. What's more, Roger almost saved the lives of everyone present. This great favor will never be repaid in a lifetime. So in Kent
The loyalty of county stewards Bonnie, Chris and Phil is unquestionable, and they will naturally be happy with every achievement Roger achieves.
"Haha, your Excellency is already an earl now!" Chris grinned from ear to ear and said with a smile: "At this rate, your Excellency will be promoted to a duke before he is forty years old. There is no other king in the kingdom.
A nobleman can be promoted so quickly!"
The others also agreed deeply with Chris's words and burst into joyful laughter. Only Roger knew that being promoted too quickly was not a good thing for him. But seeing that his subordinates were so happy, he didn't want to discredit everyone.
Xing, he also laughed a few times.
"Sir, there has been some unrest in the south of the territory recently." After everyone's laughter subsided, Phil, who had always been calm, said first: "We have been following your order to cut down trees on the edge of the Green Sea Forest, but the recent conflict with the elves has
It’s becoming more and more frequent, and if it continues like this, I’m afraid the lumberyard won’t be able to continue operating.”
"They are all those elves who changed their lives!" Speaking of this, Chris also said angrily: "They have been coming to sabotage our work these days! I have sent a team of security guards to the lumberyard, but those guys are too tricky.
, the boys couldn’t do anything to them, and several of them were shot and injured!”
In fact, Roger himself knew that if he kept cutting down trees in the Green Sea Forest, he would sooner or later conflict with the group of staunch environmentalists, the xenophobic and stubborn Crescent Moon Elves. What Roger didn't expect was that this conflict would come so far.
Come on, those elves are more determined to protect nature than he imagined.
However, Chris' words also aroused Roger's interest, and he quickly emphasized: "The security team was only injured, no one died?"
"Yes, they are all arrows from the hands and feet." When Chris said this, he felt itchy with hatred: "Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, and he can recover after a period of training."
"That's it..." Chris' words made Roger understand that the elves were just warning him and had no real intention to start a war. Otherwise, with their exquisite archery skills, the security team members would definitely have more than just a few minor injuries.
They and the lumberjacks had already been killed and their blood flowed like rivers.
"I will solve this matter." Roger, who was confident in his heart, raised his head and said to everyone: "I have changed a lot in Kent Town, and everything is developing in a good direction. I leave all matters in the territory to you, and I will leave it to you."
Please take care of yourself."
Seeing that the lord spoke so politely, everyone stood up quickly and said that they would do their best. At this point, everyone knew that it was time to leave, and they all said that they still had things to deal with, and then left the Earl's Mansion.
As Roger's chief assistant, Bonnie did not leave. After everyone else left, the female knight gently locked the door of the study room, and then told Montoya everything about her relationship.
Roger.
Of course Roger believed that Bonnie would not lie to him. In fact, just by Bonnie's performance in front of him and Montoya, Roger no longer doubted the female knight. Now after listening to Bonnie's words, Roger understood the matter.
The ins and outs, secretly glad that he did not tell the female knight before figuring out the matter.
Angry. Otherwise, even if the relationship between the two can be repaired afterwards, this matter will always become a heartache between the two. But the current situation is undoubtedly the best. The two of them can calmly deal with this matter.
Let's be clear, with Bonnie's character, she won't take this matter to heart in the future.
"It's great that we actually signed a cooperation agreement with the business giant Kongtai Principality." Roger smiled and said to Bonnie: "You are really my good wife, what should I do without you?"
Roger's words made Bonnie feel warm in her heart. The female knight suppressed her inner excitement and said to Roger seriously: "You must believe me. Now that I have you, I will never be tempted by another man!"
"Of course I believe it!" Roger stretched out his hand and pulled Bonnie into his arms. He was so forceful, as if he wanted to rub the female knight into his body. Bonnie also felt Roger's enthusiasm and excitedly
He hugged his sweetheart's increasingly strong body. The two hugged each other without any barriers, so tightly that they seemed to feel each other's heartbeat.
Both Roger and Bonnie felt that their and the other's hearts were beating at exactly the same rhythm. After that little misunderstanding was cleared up, at this moment both of them felt that they had truly entered the other's heart.
, and left an eternal mark there that will not disappear until the day the heart stops beating.
Roger and Bonnie hugged each other so tightly, neither of them willing to let go, as if letting go would destroy the intoxicating atmosphere at the moment. I don’t know how long it took, but Bonnie finally gently hugged Roger.
He twisted a little and said, "Let me go, my hands are all numb!"
Roger laughed and let go of Bonnie, picked her up and sat on his lap, then put his arms around the female knight's slender and strong waist and said, "Is this better?"
"Yeah!" Bonnie nodded slightly and said, "But today we have broken things off with Montoya, and that agreement..."
"Don't worry about it. It's best if the Principality of Conté is willing to fulfill the agreement. If they want to go to war, we will accompany them. Anyway, I don't regret teaching Montoya a lesson." Roger kissed Bonnie on the cheek.
After a while, he said: "Who dares to dare to take your idea? Next time I see this kid again, I will castrate him directly!"
"You're such a bastard!" Bonnie laughed at Roger's words and relieved her worries.
Looking at the female knight with a bright smile, Roger felt a fire burning in his heart. He suddenly smiled, picked up Bonnie and put her on the large desk, then leaned over and got down.
Although Bonnie was a little resistant at first, she soon began to gasp under Roger's enthusiasm, and her strong and slender legs quietly wrapped around Roger's waist...
