The ruins of Bellomont are really scary. There was not enough food to eat along the way, I couldn't take a shower for several days, and I encountered monsters... But I suffered a lot, narrowly escaped from the terrifying ruins and monsters, and took a boat across the beautiful scenery.
After returning to the cool and comfortable home of the Tranquil Sea, Sonia missed the mysterious and ancient ruins again, the little bits of light in the cave, and the fossils hidden under the soil.
She was full of wonderful memories of the novel and exciting adventures that she had spent in those ten days. She even liked the maggots that tasted like small egg rolls.
If you don’t encounter monsters and life-threatening dangers, the ruins are really suitable as a honeymoon destination!
The Countess opened the door while fantasizing and came into the study of Countess Elena de La Mole.
"Mom, did you call me?"
This beautiful study room on the second floor is filled with a faint fragrance of roses. It can see the large garden downstairs and the count's head with many hairs missing behind the window of the independent office in the middle of the garden.
The countess was wearing a soft skirt, and her long blond hair was simply tied up on one shoulder. She was flipping through Professor Bell's notes, with the earliest batch of fossils and specimens on hand. She had a beautiful and mature appearance.
She became more and more charming because of her contemplation. When she saw her daughter coming in, she put aside her notes and specimens: "I heard that the little knight is going to Canaan in mid-August to perform a mission."
Her words were particularly tactful. In fact, Sidious's letter to the Earl's Palace had been delivered a long time ago and was placed on the table.
"Yes, he will send birthday wishes and gifts to Miss Villanoy on our behalf!" Sonia was excited when she thought of this and said happily, "I have prepared a wonderful gift! Let him bring it
superior."
"..." The Countess looked at her daughter and was silent for two seconds. "Sonia, do you know that it is particularly difficult to obtain an entry permit to Canaan? This is especially true for Bijelan's officers."
"Yes, Galadia will help Griffith handle it!" Sonia said confidently.
"Griffith did not enter the country on official business, but accepted a private invitation?" the Countess looked at her daughter and added.
"That's right! It's so smart. This saves you a lot of declarations and background checks," the countess said admiringly. "Garadia serves as the inviter and guarantor! It is said that this is difficult to apply for."
"Sonia..." The Countess couldn't continue for a while.
Sonia didn't think there was any problem and tilted her head curiously: "What's wrong, Mom?"
The countess looked at her innocent and romantic daughter, hesitated and said, "Are you sometimes confused?"

"Ah, mom, why did you suddenly attack me! I am the first in my grade at Homemon Watts!"
Countess Elena de La Mole raised her forehead, took out a document from the drawer and pushed it in front of her daughter: "Sonia, look at this."
This is a record and report about the noble family that has cut off its inheritance in the Western Territory - De Ravenel.
"This is?"
"As you can see, the ancient noble surnames have a tear-jerking story between their ancestors and a certain princess - for the sake of love, the princess personally begged the executioner for her lover's head for burial. This family now has no heirs.
, can be rewarded to our family's vassals and allies, allowing a young man to obtain at least the status of a superior knight, and even become a baron in the future." The Countess stood up and put the notes and fossils on the bookcase, "This is
One of William's share of the spoils at Verona."
"Can we designate someone to inherit it?" Sonia's mood suddenly brightened, "What a nice last name!"
"Yeah~ Do you have someone to choose?"
"Not yet."
"For the time being? Do you want to give it to the little knight in the long run?" the countess asked while curling her smooth long hair.
"How could that happen~" Sonia turned her head, touched the ends of her hanging hair, and then turned back after a moment, "Is that okay?"
The countess looked at her, covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's not impossible, as long as he has achieved enough military exploits and strength. Or..."
"Or?" Sonia immediately tilted her head.
The countess stood up gracefully, walked around the desk, came to her daughter, hugged her from behind, and asked in her ear: "Did you encounter some danger in the ruins?"
"Well, there are some."
"Did you lose some of your sanity and fall into a coma?"
"Ah, how did you know?" Sonia almost jumped up. She hadn't told her family about this yet, but her mother already knew about it.
The countess hugged her: "Professor Bell was brought back by the little knight with extraordinary characteristics. What do you think? Sonia, you are so stupid sometimes, you are the cutest."
"..."
"Then what? In that dangerous, crazy and dark place, the little knight was with you, right~" the countess asked softly in her daughter's ear, and then took a small bite on the soft earlobe.
"Ah——! It's not good!" Sonia shouted softly with a blush on her face, "He is very upright!"
"Hey~ It's so boring. How can you be like William?" The Countess hugged her daughter in disappointment and squeezed into a chair with her. "De Ravenel kept it a secret from the little knight in advance. Let's talk about business."
.
"What's the business?"
"Well~ that's it," the countess raised her head and thought for a while, "your brother is old enough and has a marriage, and so and so~"
…
At the party on the last night of Qiming Town, maybe it was because of the singing, maybe because he was moved by the crying Roland, or maybe for other reasons, Griffith felt a strong and strange touch. It was as if someone reached out to him.
, but misty and distant.
He stood up and looked around, but saw nothing. This feeling of loss was as if his treasure was left nearby, but he didn't know where it was.
Then, he noticed silver flashes and movements in the streets not far from the venue, and wanted to go there to check, but an extremely strong premonition of danger stopped him. Somehow, he had a feeling that he would just go and explore there.
, everything will change, and the most terrifying danger and future are dormant in that shadow.
He didn't dare to be careless, so he took Roland, who was crying and almost rolling on the floor, and went with him. However, when he got there, he found nothing.
The two sentries in charge of perimeter security left their posts and could not remember what happened. Griffith alertly asked Roland to investigate, but the brave man wandered around the scene and found an excuse to send him away.
After returning to the Earl's Mansion in Beyeland from the Bellomont ruins, Sonia was called by the Countess for a few days of isolation and observation. According to her, a sacred item will be prepared for the increasingly powerful Griffith in the near future.
device.
Therefore, there is no need to accompany the countess to dinners and dances or tasks during this period. In addition to homework and training, Griffith spends most of his time practicing shooting every day, or spending time in the library with Secretary Sauron.
Pass.
The bookshelves here are as tall as the cliffs on the seaside of Beyeland. There are various monographs and reports, the latest novels and poetry collections. The editors of the publishing house will send new books that have just been published every Friday. There are also books from all over the world. Collected information. Beyeland's explorers sent reports from the far south, diligently reporting their discoveries in remote forests and ruins to the count's family, asking for some financial support, or sending Beyeland soldiers to beat up the locals. people.
One of the reports from Odessa Territory caught Griffith's attention.
According to the reports from the head of the count and the commander, a beloved saint appeared in the northern border of the kingdom. She mainly visited various places in the Odessa region, and also went to the Sebasto region for some time.
She is called the girl of Anjou. She is about 16 years old. She is a believer in the Holy Light. She often wears a hood and reveals her beauty like the tip of an iceberg. Her elegance and holiness make all beautiful words pale. Nobility and Common people loved her. Everywhere the saint visited, local farmers would swarm into the homes where she stayed and take home everything she touched to treasure.
News about her suddenly appeared in local newspapers, along with the intensifying border armed conflicts between northern border towns and orc tribes.
The residents of the border areas followed the banner of the Angevin Maiden and drove out the orcs who were constantly harassing her. The social circles and streets of Odessa were praising her bravery and miracles.
Border area, saint? Hasn’t the Holy Light Church abolished the saint selection system? Orcs, why are the orcs starting to conflict with us again? Griffith tapped the table and fell into thought.
The power of the orcs is distributed in the north and east, surrounding the land of Beyelan in an arc. This is a holy alliance composed of hundreds of tribes, sometimes loose, sometimes united, and engaged in uninterrupted war with Beyelan. war.
Griffith fought against them during the war on the Eastern Front. After the war on the Eastern Front subsided, he had not heard of the border conflict between Beyelan and the Orc Alliance until this information appeared in front of him.
The news of the battle had been carefully concealed before, but at this moment it appeared together with the saint. Is it a coincidence?
After the Raven incident, Griffith learned that the Holy Light Vatican's new canon reform had abolished the saint selection system in 1427. This reform should be the result of consultations between various factions. The Holy Light Vatican based on certain reasons A certain degree of concession was made.
The Holy Light Holy See has a strong influence in Odessa, and the area is a more independent region than Verona, controlled by the Grand Duke of Odessa. People from all walks of life in Beyeland must not be happy to see this saint. information.
At this time, the postman came to the library, interrupted his thoughts, and delivered a stack of letters.
This is a promotion order and a dossier.
