Watching Downton's leaving figure, the scene fell silent. The nobles were really frightened. Some of them opened their mouths, but found that they had no idea what to say.
Even Prince Rhine and Prince Stark would not have the courage to depose two heirs of a third-rate country at once. You must know that this is an act that will trigger a war.
"Shall we leave?"
Finally, after a few minutes of silence, someone made a suggestion, and he even noticed that his voice was trembling with fear.
"Yes, who knows what kind of conflicts will happen if you are with this lunatic?"
Half of the nobles agreed, but the other half didn't say anything, not because they objected, but because they were worried about being looked down upon for leaving.
Then, everyone's eyes turned to Sansa, after all, she was the core of this circle.
"Don't you think you will gain a lot from traveling with such an interesting person?"
After Sansa finished speaking lightly, she turned and walked towards the tent, leaving a sound of surprise.
"Princess, you have offended Downton..."
The bodyguard of the Dragon Slayer stopped talking.
"I understand, aren't you just saying that you can't protect me when danger occurs?"
Sansa's words made the two dragon slayers extremely embarrassed, but they couldn't deny it. In fact, they couldn't even see the limits of Downton.
"This guy will either become a dictator and rise to power, or he will be crushed by other countries. I don't know why, but I always feel that it will be the former, so I must stay!"
As the eldest daughter of the Stark family, Sansa has great ambitions. She wants to replace her eldest brother, become a duke, and then control the entire north.
A lunatic like Downton is exactly what Sansa wants.
"Hmph. Even if you are a mad dog, you will bow down under my princess dress and willingly let me wear a collar for you!"
Sansa's self-confidence was very high, but it quickly dwindled during the journey that followed.
"Hunting? Not interested!"
Downton bit an apple and got into the carriage after he finished speaking. Only a well-dressed princess was left angry on the spot, almost crushing the riding crop in anger.
After three times in a row, the nobles couldn't stand it anymore and felt that Downton was too stupid. If they saw Sansa taking the initiative to send him to their door, they would definitely be happy.
The ladies are very happy recently, because Sansa is deflated, and they decided to make it known to everyone.
"Are you too cruel? Sansa is at least a beauty. Let's have a chat without suffering any loss?"
Madeline teased.
"I'm not interested in messing around with a scheming bitch!"
Downton was sitting in a large carriage, looking at the map of the north spread on the carpet, deducing various possible scenarios of the war and taking notes.
Rosicky accompanied him. Although he was dissatisfied with Downton's reckless behavior, his subsequent performance still made the prince praise him and nod.
In the past few days, Downton has completed the basic deployment and passed the secret order back through the letter falcon, asking Batty to strictly implement it.
When the green grass on the roadside disappeared and turned into hard frozen soil, and fine snow powder floated in the sky, Downton and his party entered the territory of the Snowman Kingdom. It was not long before the start of the Northern Parliament, so
He ordered to speed up the march.
After all, Downton had become prominent, and he no longer kept a low profile. He didn't want to be underestimated, so he switched to the Fiery Nightmare and asked his subordinates to polish their armor and weapons, and put on the most elite military appearance.
Five days later, the royal city of Xueman Empire appeared in the snow!
This is a majestic city with a majestic layout. It is located on the Silver Stream Hills, with clear edges and corners, like an eagle flapping its wings and about to fly.
The holy snow falcon, the king of raptors with its pure white feathers, is the national bird of Xueman and its symbol. It represents the arrival of raptors and all beasts will obey!
Looking towards the end of the field of view, if the weather is clear, you can vaguely see a city wall covered with ice and snow, which is the Great Wall of Despair that is famous throughout the Western Continent.
“What a beautiful city!”
Hutao rode a ray and stopped next to Downton. He put up an awning with his hands and sighed sincerely.
This main city is gray in the wind and snow. Although there are some signs of decay and failure, they are all suppressed by the tens of thousands of years of history. Here, it is a rich history, exuding simplicity.
, the smell of staleness.
"I dare say that among the main cities in the entire continent, this Saint Xueman can be ranked in the top ten in terms of name and appearance!"
Sansa rode an ice purebred horse unique to the Arctic frozen soil, walked up to Downton in dressage, and announced proudly, as if this main city belonged to the Stark family.
.
Downton glanced at the princess. At this time, the princess straightened her back and thrust her plump breasts forward, as proud as a swan!
She wore a violet hunting suit worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, tightly wrapped around her body, allowing her toned lines to be seen at a glance. On her feet were a pair of over-the-knee boots, which were placed in stirrups, shaking gently to the beat.
.
Seemingly noticing Downton's gaze, Sansa deliberately pushed out her breasts and made her buttocks appear more upturned. However, as soon as she finished this action, she found that Downton had looked away and looked at Rosicky.
prince.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Looking at the city she had been away from for more than three thousand years, Celes could no longer bear it and cried bitterly.
Rosicky's expression was ever-changing. There was nostalgia, pain, and appreciation in his eyes, but in the end they all turned into deep attachment. This city was his lover and his home!
"Father, have you seen it? The unworthy descendants are back!"
Rosicky dismounted and knelt on one knee on the ground. The death knights behind him also made the same move. Amidst the collision of armor and weapons, they all fell to their knees.
The dark and solemn atmosphere made Sansa stunned.
"You want this city?"
Downton asked in a low voice.
"Don't you want to?"
Normally, Sansa would never tell the truth, but looking at Downton's handsome profile, she didn't know why, but she asked a question out of nowhere.
"Haha, Celes, stop crying, let's go home!"
Downton did not answer. He stretched out his hand to the Death Banshee, and after waiting for her to hold it, he used force to pull her behind the horse, then clamped the horse's belly with his legs and ran towards the city gate.
"Oye. Go home!"
Little Walnut cheered, and chased after him on an air ray, overtaking for a while, and then turning back while performing difficult aerial maneuvers, leaving behind a series of crisp laughter in the flying snowflakes.
"go home?"
Sansa frowned, but then she felt relieved. From the accent, Celes seemed to be from Snowrun. So the word "going home" made sense. After all, she never dreamed that the Death Banshee would be the Princess of Snowrun.
"Princess, let's hurry up!"
In the past few days, some nobles have left one after another, but more of them have remained, all in pursuit of Sansa.
"Um!"
Sansa waved her riding crop.
Several signal flares were raised on the city wall and exploded into gorgeous fireworks. This immediately expressed welcome and also served as a messenger for the officials responsible for the reception to prepare and not to neglect.
As a main city, there is naturally a lot of traffic in front of the gate every day. Although there is no congestion, you still have to queue up to enter the city gate.
"Xue Man also collects city taxes!"
Hu Tao muttered, although he didn't mean to belittle, but it did make Rosicky's face look awkward.
"Have these incompetent bastards actually brought the empire to this point?"
Rosicky looked at the clothes of the civilians and businessmen. He weighed the quality of their lives, and his expression gradually changed. The city gate officials not only collected taxes, but also charged them very high taxes.
"Xue Man is lonely too!"
Chadley lamented that these taxes could increase the national treasury. However, they also removed Xueman's fig leaf. You must know that a wealthy and powerful empire would never set up this kind of tax.
"Dear gentlemen, I will keep quiet now and let them move out of the way. The embassy is ready to alleviate the fatigue of the journey!"
A chubby receptionist ran out. From the clothes and temperament of the group, they knew he was a noble, so he did not dare to neglect him.
"No need, let them go first, we don't lack this little time anyway!"
Sansa's face-saving skills are absolutely outstanding. With just one sentence, she gained a lot of favorability points.
"As you command, Your Highness!"
Not to mention that all receptionists are people with quick hands and eyes. Even if he didn't know Sansa, when he saw so many nobles surrounding her, he knew that she was the central figure, so his attitude was very respectful.
When the princess spoke, everyone naturally did not lose face. They all suppressed their eager sightseeing mood and waited for the common people to enter the city gate.
Little Hutao couldn't calm down, so she flew up to the city wall on an empty skate. When she came back after sneaking around, she had already picked up a large bag of ice cheese smeared with honey.
"Try, Xueman's specialty!"
The little loli distributed it to everyone in Celes.
"Haha, be good!"
Rosicky touched Hu Tao's forehead. Who said that little Lolita is ignorant? It is this kind of care from the heart that is even more valuable.
“Not as good as ice cream!”
Celes said it tasted bad, but her tears kept falling and she couldn't stop them.
Just as Downton was about to persuade her, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Everyone turned around and looked over the heads of the civilians. They saw a girl wearing a gorgeous red magician's robe. After approaching the city gate, the folded wings of the horse under her crotch suddenly spread out, leaped up, and climbed up the city wall.
.
"It's Your Highness Hannah!"
"So beautiful, no less beautiful than Princess Sansa!"
"This temperament, tsk tsk, I heard that she is already helping the Duke of Bordeaux with official affairs!"
The nobles looked at Hannah, who was full of grandeur and elegance, and couldn't help but praise her. Compared to Sansa, who only knew how to play tricks, she had a strong aura during her childhood, which made people unable to resist.
Dare to look.
"Hannah, are you here to pick me up?"
Sansa waved her hand and spoke in a friendly tone, showing off her connections to everyone without leaving a trace, "Downton, are you interested? I can introduce her to you!"
A smile emerged from the corners of Downton's lips and he shook his head.
"Long time no see, I miss you so much!"
When Hannah landed, Sansa immediately greeted her. The Principality of Porto is one of the allies of the Principality of Winter, especially her father Mourinho, who is known as the number one person in the north in terms of governance ability and strength. If
It's not because too much energy is wasted in managing Porto. Some people say that Mourinho may have become the youngest legend in mainland China.
"Sansa, long time no see"
Hannah was stunned for a moment and glanced at Downton in surprise. She didn't expect that they would be walking together, but she quickly adjusted her mood and stretched out her hand.
Sansa frowned and had a bad feeling. Could it be that these two people knew each other?
"Downton, I haven't seen you for more than two years. You gave me a big surprise!"
Hannah smiled generously and stretched out her right hand.
"As long as it's not a big surprise. Where are Vieri and Fanny? How are they doing?"
Downton joked.
The nobles are all good at observing people's emotions. Although Hannah spoke to Sansa first, she was obviously not as enthusiastic about Downton.
Generally speaking, the first person to answer is an important person, but in Hannah's case, she obviously regards Downton as one of her own. That's why she puts it behind. This can be seen from the hands they are still holding.
Get clues.
"Do you know each other?"
Sansa's expression was ugly. When she thought about the introduction she just made to you, she felt embarrassed and wanted to leave.
Some female nobles obviously heard this whisper and couldn't help laughing. Sansa's face was very embarrassing.
“We’ve known each other for a long time!”
Hannah's words made Sansa curl her lips. The other party made it clear that she didn't want to say more.
"Downton, are you trying to laugh at me?"
"What joke?"
Downton would not be stupid enough to answer yes. Since he became the Duke of the West, he has established trade relations with Porto. He could provide Barak with enough goods at that time, but he was inseparable from Hannah. Otherwise, he would not let him
The tauren sold their goods across half of the Sunset Prairie in a short period of time.
"You've been worrying me for so many days!" Hannah rolled her eyes before Sansa could speak, and then her tone became solemn, "Anyway, congratulations on becoming the Hand of the King in Frankfort!
"
"Thanks!"
Downton joked, "Do you feel that your original investment has exceeded the return?"
"Um!"
Hannah nodded, with a smile on her face. She was very lucky that she repaired her relationship with Downton in time after he showed his potential, otherwise she would not have such a strong ally.
Sansa watched the two of them chatting and laughing, and their relationship was harmonious. She felt a warning sign in her heart. Did she know how proud Hannah was because of her abilities? There were only a handful of men who could be attracted to her, and she could lower her profile like this.
Conversation, she had never seen it before.
"Hannah, why didn't you wait for me?" Fanny at least arrived. When she saw Downton, she immediately restrained her posture. After adjusting her clothes, she saluted and said hello, "Long time no see!"
"I haven't seen you for several years, and you have become more mature!"
Downton nodded.
Looking at Downton, who had hard lines, handsome eyebrows, and was as cool as the most perfect statue of David in the Renaissance, Fanny suddenly became speechless, her lips moved a few times, but she couldn't say anything.
"Oh, what have I been doing?"
Fanny was extremely depressed. Needless to say, Downton must have had a terrible impact on her.
Because Fanny doesn't have to worry about gains and losses, the current Downton is no longer the commoner boy he met in Crow Hill, but the hand of the king who rules over Drankfurt, in charge of the lives of millions of people. In one word,
He can raise hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for him!
"I'm still the same Downton as before, don't mind!"
Downton's behavior is gentle and gentle. With his current status and broad-mindedness, he no longer cares about Fanny's original offense.
"Dear gentlemen, please come into the city?"
The city gate became empty, and the receptionist hurriedly walked up. He looked at Downton, his eyes searching. He could make Hannah keep such a low profile. What is the origin of this boy?
"Let's go!"
Normally, Hannah would definitely walk side by side with Sansa, but today, she landed next to Downton without hesitation.
Sansa made a mistake and was so embarrassed that she didn't want to stay any longer. Just as the receptionist answered, she immediately went ahead.
"Damn it! Damn it! You made me look stupid again, Downton, I won't let you go!"
Sansa cursed, and less than thirty meters away from the city gate, she heard a deafening sound of horse hooves, like thunder, like an avalanche, and powerful!
A group of cavalrymen wearing green light cavalry armor and white capes rushed through the long street. The leader was a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and an androgynous look, but he had an afro haircut.
"Fellaini, where are you going?"
Sansa took the initiative to talk. This was the second son of the Grand Duke of the Rhine. In terms of status, he was not much worse than the prince of the Rhine, because it was said that the Grand Duke of the Rhine valued him particularly and even planned to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger son, giving him the hereditary title of duke.
"Sansa? I have something to do now. I will come find you after I finish solving the problem!"
Fellaini said hello and rushed past Sansa. With his status, he did not have to cater to Sansa.
"Downton, you are finally here!"
Fellaini rushed out of the city gate and saw Downton standing not far away, riding on the Green Goblin's saddle, and his expression suddenly became ferocious.
"Um?"
Downton was confused and looked at Hannah, asking her to introduce him.
"You killed my brother, how are you going to settle the debt?"
Fellaini had already arranged for his servants to memorize Downton's appearance and wait for him at the city gate. Once he arrived, he told himself that he could not wait to defeat this guy.
The brightest new star in the north, the youngest scepter, these titles should all belong to you.
"Since I haven't had a chance to become famous yet, I'll just step on you and become famous!"
In addition to avenging his brother, Fellaini also wants to use Downton as a stepping stone to become famous.
"Your Mightiness!"
The receptionist rushed over. These people were all here to attend the Northern Congress. No matter who they were, they were important figures. If they died, it would cause international disputes.
"Go away, do you have a role to speak here?"
Fellaini didn't even look at the receptionist and whipped him in the face.
boom!
The twisted whip exploded directly on the receptionist's face. Not only did it scatter, but it also left a deep bloody mark, which made the nose collapse and make the nose bleed.
"How do you calculate it? I helped you deal with the first heir and improved your ranking. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Downton shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"It won't start fighting again, will it?"
"Do you think Downton will cut off Fellaini's hands and feet this time?"
"What to cut? Gwent and Samosai combined are not even 10% as powerful as the Lion Empire!"
When the nobles saw the conflict breaking out, they immediately started talking, but they quickly shut up because they heard Fellaini's words about Downton killing his brother. (To be continued...)
