Volume 2 The Iron-Blooded Baron Chapter 113 Promoted to Baron
Thank you. Please call me the monthly ticket of Skirmisher. Thank you!
Balian doesn't know now that his criticism and education of the two attendants today will save his life in the future.
Of course, these are all things for later.
After this small episode was over this morning, Balian, Rochiel, and Greenberg discussed the next arrangements and asked them to pack up and prepare to check out the rental.
This was because Balian planned to return to Fort Norandenburg in the next two days. After all, it had been almost two months since he had left. If he didn't go back, and he was delayed for another month, it would be the snowing season.
The next day, Balian and Jesses met at the beach outside the city. Without the control of the old nun Murat, Jesses moved much more freely.
This morning, she told her mother and went out with Puli and a few guards. After arriving at the beach where they had agreed, Jesse ordered the guards to wait here while she and Puli
Then he walked through the woods on the side and came to a beach.
Balian himself was standing there waiting, wearing the clothes that Jesse had made for him. As soon as Balian saw them coming, he hurried not to step forward.
The two looked at each other and smiled at each other, but they didn't know what to say. At this time, Puli, who was by the side, said teasingly: "Hey, it seems that I am really a redundant person. What a waste of time here."
You two, I'd better go and stay aside."
When Jesse heard Puli teasing her like this, she blushed and pinched her, then pretended to be sulky and said: "Damn girl, if I don't teach you a lesson for a few days, you will be disrespectful! What are you talking about?
See how I can deal with you after you go back."
"Okay, my eldest lady, you take this thing, I'll go and wait for you first, bye!" Puli teased again sourly, and after stuffing the cloth bag to Jesses, she jumped
And left.
After Puli left, there were only two people left on this quiet beach. The air suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of two people breathing.
I don't know how long it took, but Jesse's face returned to normal. She opened the cloth bag in her hand and took out the suit of clothes inside. She said shyly: "I...I...I made it for you again."
You can keep this piece of clothing and wear it."
After Balian took it, he touched the fine stitches on the clothes and embroidered the double-headed eagle emblem with colorful threads. He couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart. This was the first time in his two lives that he was attracted by a girl.
He treats his son with so much care and is so lovingly cared for by the girl he likes, so he is so happy.
Balian stared at the clothes stupidly for a while, then looked at Jesses, smiled, and said, "Thank you, Miss Jesses, I will cherish this dress."
"No, you can just wear normal clothes. Puli knows your businessman friend Ganji. I will prepare it for you in the future and let his caravan take it to your Nolandenburg." Jesses
When she spoke, her voice was very gentle, and her beautiful big eyes blinked a few times, which made Balian's heart melt.
"It...isn't it nice to trouble you so much?" Facing the gentle and lovely Jesses, Balian's IQ was completely off-line. He was like a fool and didn't know what to say.
"Phew!" Seeing Balian's silly look, Janis covered her mouth and laughed. Her smile made Balian even more confused.
Jesse laughed for a while, and then said firmly: "Just take what I give you. If you feel embarrassed, just seize the time and work hard. You should understand my feelings for you."
Balian looked into Jesse's eyes and replied firmly: "Don't worry, before you turn eighteen, I will definitely give your father a reason that you cannot refuse."
"Okay, I believe you, my brave Knight Balian." Miss Jesses made her attitude clear the moment Balian's words fell.
After Miss Jesses said this, she smiled and continued: "Actually, you don't have to feel too much pressure. Let me tell you some good news first. This is what I heard from my father. Do you want to know it?
?”
Balian nodded, "Of course, my beautiful girl."
"Who is your girl!" Balian received a look from Jesse.
Jesses walked to a big stone on the beach and was about to sit down. Seeing this, Balian quickly stepped forward and laid the cloth bag containing clothes on it.
This clever move won Miss Jesse's eyes of approval. She smiled and said to Balian: "I heard from my father that you are going to be promoted to baronet."
Balian's eyes widened when he heard the news. The news was too sudden and unbelievable, because there is a huge gap between ordinary low-level knights and nobles with titles. Many knight families have struggled for several years.
For generations, no one has been able to bridge this gap.
The Balian family has struggled for five generations and is still stuck in the lower class of knights. They have not even become a baron. Although they are just barons, they are actually nobles with titles and can have knights in the palace.
Balian was just made a knight at the end of last year, and he was promoted to baron this year? This is simply impossible. After he came to Nolandenburg, he sent people to deliver gifts to the Minister of Security twice.
It was extremely valuable, and the total amount was less than 2,000 dinars. You should know that the title of baron usually costs at least 30,000 to 50,000 dinars.
Janis looked at Balian who was stunned by his news, raised his leg and kicked him to wake up the stunned guy.
Jesses looked at Balian with a smile on his face and said, "Looking at your silly look, I really don't know what I like about you."
"Maybe it's because he's handsome!" When Balian said this, he couldn't help but puff up his chest, and his face also had the look of a man with the best looks in the world.
The result of the pretense/competition was naturally earned a blank stare from Jesses.
After the two had such a quarrel, Jesse said to Balian solemnly: "According to the usual practice, you will definitely not be able to become a baron, and you have been promoted too fast this year. What can other lords do?"
Look.
However, such an unreasonable thing actually happened. The news from my father must be reliable. The decree that you were promoted to Baron should arrive in the direct county soon."
"I want to know the reason. Why is this? Is it just me who is being promoted?" Balian asked curiously.
Jesses nodded and replied: "You are the only one, and the reasons for promoting you can be complicated or simple.
It's complicated because your promotion is the result of a dispute between three parties. Our monarch, the southern nobles, and the northern nobles. Their current situation is that the monarch and the northern nobles stand together, and the southern faction has temporarily ceased its activities.
The reason why the northern nobles won the support of the monarch was your outstanding performance in the battle to recapture Maple Leaf Manor and your outstanding military exploits in annihilating the three major gangs on the south bank of the Carr River.
Although everyone dislikes the young men who were pushed forward by the Minister of Military Affairs and the Minister of Public Security, they have a really good eye for people. They were able to find such an outstanding knight for the Principality of Brick. Of course, our monarch favors them.
Already.
They have received the love and support of the monarch, so they will not treat you badly. According to the usual practice, if you make great achievements in battle, you can be promoted to a noble title, so they made some adjustments and promoted you to the first level."
"So that's how it is." Balian nodded and sighed.
Jesses looked at the sea in the distance and continued: "It's simple, but it's actually simple, because the Valenti people have declared themselves from a principality to a kingdom, and their monarch has also become king. Our monarch is also anxious.
In addition, the Valenti people have recently crossed the Blue Mountains to provoke a war. He hopes that the palace will be unanimous and support him in sending troops to fight the Valenti people. As long as the Valenti people are defeated, our monarch can logically
Become the king.
That's exactly what it is, he needs something to let everyone know his attitude, and you, the lucky guy, are just in time."
Balian smiled helplessly and responded: "You are indeed lucky. I didn't expect that the wish that my grandfather and father struggled for so long to realize would be realized so easily when I came here."
"It's not easy, but you are still good at it. You won this result. My father told me before that a person's luck is very important, but when luck comes, it is also important whether the person has the ability to grasp it.
And you, a person who has accomplished so many great things in half a year, solved the problem that the previous county magistrate and many leading knights racked their brains and failed to solve. You are awesome.
Moreover, you still have a group of newly recruited soldiers in your hands. You can do so many things with these recruits. When you have an elite force in your hands, it will be even more incredible." Jesses is like a little kid.
Like children, they gesture and talk at the same time.
Seeing Jesses's happy expression, Balian felt a flash of pain and sadness in his heart, because if he wanted to be promoted to a noble title, he had to go to the front line and make great contributions in the battle with the Valenti people.
The Valenti people are powerful in combat, especially their Valenti heavy cavalry, which can be called the strongest force in the Valentin continent. The heavily armored knights ride tall and also heavily armored horses, holding long spears.
When they meet together on the battlefield, there is almost no army that can compete with them.
If Balian wants to fight with such an opponent, he may lose his life if he is not careful. At that time, Miss Jesses will probably be very sad.
Thinking of this, Balian hesitated for a moment, and then said frankly to Jesse: "I have been promoted to a noble title. Next, I will definitely use my spearhead on the battlefield. The Valenti people are not that easy to deal with."
.
If anything happens to me, you have to take good care of yourself and find someone who loves you and spends your life with you."
Before Balian could finish speaking, Janis reached out and covered his mouth, and then she said with tears in her eyes: "You are not allowed to say that. I believe you will come back to see me safely. I'll wait."
you."
After saying this, Balian's eyes were moist, his throat was a little choked, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
But Jesses suddenly laughed. She smiled for a while and said: "Actually, you don't have to work hard on the battlefield. If you live well, anything is possible. If you don't live well, everything will be illusory.
"
Listening to his sweetheart's instructions, Balian nodded firmly and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself, and you must take care of yourself too. Now that the world is in chaos, who knows that Yang Weixuo has no idea in the city?
There are bad guys who want to harm you."
"I know, don't worry." Jesses replied with a smile.
At this time, Balian remembered the gift he had prepared for Jesses. He quickly took out the small wooden box from his arms and handed it to Jesses.
Janis curiously took the small box containing Balian's body temperature. She opened it and saw a delicate gardenia garland brooch on the red velvet lining.
This brooch is made of thin gold bars in the shape of a wreath, the green leaves are carefully ground from natural green crystals, and there are twelve small flowers composed of pearls of different sizes, which are very delicate and beautiful.
"Wow! This is so beautiful!" Jesses couldn't help but exclaimed, then she carefully took it out, put it on her chest and gestured, feeling very satisfied, she looked at Bellion very happily and said: "
