"The contract has been signed. They will stay here and decorate the castle according to your wishes until you are satisfied."
Elizabeth opened her eyes wide and asked Nadasty with some suspicion:
"Is it the same outside?"
"Um...."
Nadasidi rubbed his chin and pondered for a while before saying:
"As long as you don't tear down this castle, you can do whatever you want in other places————."
Elizabeth's eyes glowed brightly,
"Really?"
Facing the expectant eyes of his petite fiancée, Nadasdi smiled and nodded unequivocally.
"This castle will be yours from now on."
Bathory Elizabeth decided to revise her previous prejudice. Although her fiancée was not as heroic as the knight she imagined, he did not seem to be that bad.
All in all, Miss Elizabeth's first day in Chakhetis City was not that bad.
In the following months, Elizabeth led a large team of craftsmen through the newly completed city of Chakhedis every day.
*********
"ha--------."
The sleepy Elizabeth yawned and stretched out of her room.
Her long cherry red hair was spread casually over her silk pajamas.
In the past few days, she has been working hard to provide creative ideas for the renovation of Chakdis City.
Elizabeth was also very concerned about this matter, so she pretended to be the overseer of the Giza Pyramid every day - holding a whip to urge the craftsmen.
Why was he the overseer of the Giza Pyramids?
You have to ask the maid who told her stories in the Bathory family's territory.
The maids also told her many knightly stories.
There are stories about Charlemagne and his twelve warriors, King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, and the Crusades that happened not long ago.
Astolph's fight with the giant, Lancelot's challenge to the dragon, and the paladin Roland who was named Paladin.
In short, Elizabeth was extremely yearning for the various stories she heard from the maids, and wished she could become one of them.
She stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and yawned again. Rubbing her hazy eyes, Elizabeth came to the restaurant with her sleepy body in her arms.
At this time, Nadasdi had already arranged for the servants to prepare breakfast and had been waiting for a long time.
"Good morning."
Nadasdi gave Elizabeth his usual greetings.
However, his fiancée did not reply to him. Instead, he sighed and ate his breakfast.
Elizabeth was still a little depressed. Although her fiancée was a kind-hearted and good person, he was still very different from the image of a knight in her mind.
Although Nadasidi is not short in height, his weight is obviously lower than the normal level due to his poor physical condition, so he still looks very weak.
Elizabeth, who was only twelve years old, could not bear the depression of disillusionment.
Fortunately, Nadasdi was also used to the fact that his greetings for several days in a row fell to nothing, and his attitude towards Elizabeth was still full of tolerance.
He also doesn't intend to give up the habit of saying hello every morning.
After all, where else could he find such an excellent fiancée, and who else could he say hello to?
Elizabeth hurriedly finished her breakfast and called out to the hordes of craftsmen to start the day's renovation again.
In addition, she didn't know what to do in this castle, nor how to get along with Nadasdi Ferenc.
However, Nadasdi would be by her side almost every time he had free time these days. Due to etiquette, Elizabeth was too embarrassed to drive him away directly, so the two of them could only spend their time in awkward silence.
Although Nadasty enjoyed watching his fiancée, it seemed Elizabeth couldn't help it.
"Why? Why do you stay by my side?"
Elizabeth asked Nadasidi who followed her again.
"Do you hate this?"
"It's not really annoying...is it weird? Why do you have to stay with me every day?"
"Because we are an unmarried couple."
Nadasidi said matter-of-factly.
"No, no, no -"
Elizabeth shook her petite head and denied:
"Even a real couple wouldn't be like this, right? We're just a political marriage, right?"
"But I'm serious."
"Eh?"
Elizabeth was knocked unconscious by Nadasdi's sudden straight ball.
Although she has accepted that she is a tool for political marriage and has accepted her engagement, the twelve-year-old girl Bathory is still not ready to face her confession.
"Why?"
"Because you are very beautiful, in other words, very beautiful and very charming. I like you very much."
Nadasdi had never studied how to win a girl's favor before, and he had never understood love poetry. He could only pick out these dry words from his own dictionary.
"Hmm...well...thank you for your compliment, I'm really touched..."
But it was enough for Elizabeth. After hearing Nadasdi's words, the girl's cheeks turned red visibly, and then her eyes wandered and the words in her mouth were unclear.
"Then, can I still stay by your side in the future?"
Nadasty asked.
"It's up to you!"
After leaving such words, Elizabeth left the room as if she was running away.
Looking at the girl's back, a smile appeared on Nadasdi's lips.
Although he still didn't know why Elizabeth felt depressed, Nadasdi felt that the distance between him and her seemed to be closer.
Suddenly, Nadasdi's expression changed and he looked at the craftsmen around him who had stopped working with hidden smiles.
"What are you looking at? Keep working. The contract is here!"
The cost of hiring craftsmen at Nadasdi is not cheap, and can even be said to be very high. I am afraid that this is the treatment for the King of Hungary to build the castle.
But it would be nice if his fiancée could be happy.
Subsequently, according to the girl's preferences, within a few months, Chakdis City underwent earth-shaking changes from the inside out.
If the current Çakhedis Castle is similar to the previous Çakhedis City, then only the geographical location is the same.
But the great design of the future Countess Nadasti has only just begun.
Nadasdi, who was only eighteen years old and had nothing important to deal with, naturally stayed by his fiancée's side every day and decorated the inside and outside of the castle with Elizabeth.
"Ah! Here!"
Elizabeth suddenly pointed to a series of storage rooms on the ground floor of the castle that was half buried underground.
At this time, Nadasdi was holding the design drawings of the castle's outer gatehouse and looking at them carefully under the oil lamp, but it was still difficult for him to see clearly the black drawings on the parchment.
Maybe there should be more window openings in the walls of the castle. The interior of Chakhetis City is too dark.
But his and Elizabeth's castle territory was on the border with neighboring countries.
It just so happens that the relationship between Hungary and its neighboring country is not so harmonious now. For the sake of safety, Nadasdy still dare not take the risk of changing the original military function of the castle.
All he had done in the past few months was try his best to maintain the safety of the castle under Elizabeth's 'creation'.
But right now, his young fiancée is his top priority.
"What's wrong? Eliza."
What makes Nadasdi more depressed is that since that day, the only breakthrough in his relationship with Elizabeth was the change in title.
Of course, being able to call Elizabeth Eliza is already very satisfying for Nadasdy.
There is still a long time between him and his fiancée.
"I want to tear down all the walls here and transform it into a knight training ground."
"Well..." Nadasdi thought for a while and said:
"But we don't have any knights."
"Wouldn't it be better to go recruit?"
"I'm just the heir of an earl, and I can't make a knight yet."
Elizabeth's face showed obvious disappointment, and her mood instantly dropped.
"That's it..."
Nadasidi hated this expression the most.
"You just want a knight, right? Then I'll be your knight, right?"
"Eh? You?"
The girl looked at Nadasidi's frail body with suspicion.
"There is no other way now, right? Let's make do with it for now. After I inherit the title, this place will be filled with knights."
"I heard what you said. You can't lie to others——"
Elizabeth held out her little finger to Nadasty.
"Don't worry, I never lie."
Nadasty responded by extending his little finger.
Their little fingers were tightly linked together.
"Then it's time to give you a title. How about God Knight?"
"That's too..."
"Um...Super Knight?"
"It also......"
"Ah, it's so hard to think about! Just think of it yourself."
It’s better to be more patient in this kind of thing...
Although he thought so, Nadasdi did not dare to express his feelings directly.
"How about the Black Knight?"
Nadasidi came up with his own idea.
"Ah, this is good. You will be my black knight from now on. The black knight, Bathory Nadasti Ferenc."
The girl nodded with satisfaction. This chapter has been completed!
