After taking a bath that made him feel physically and mentally happy in every sense of the word, Ryan put on the baron's standard clothes. He picked up the soft dark elf and took him back to his bedroom. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to the third party.
Find Morgiana in the prayer room upstairs.
The Lake Witch is the religious leader of this country and the first spokesperson of the Lake Fairy in the mortal world. Although she is very weak now, she still has strong control over the Order of the Holy Sisters and the Knights of the Holy Grail.
The castle smelled of being carefully repaired. Ryan noticed that in addition to his own guards, there were also more than a dozen Sulia's family guardian knights stationed. When they saw Ryan appearing, they all bowed to show respect. This was both respect for the Holy Grail Knights.
But at the same time, it is also a sign of respect for the young lady’s future husband.
In addition, many young knights errant looked at Ryan with eager anticipation and enthusiasm for the Holy Grail. Perhaps they believed that getting close to Ryan meant getting close to the Holy Grail.
Walking outside the door of the prayer room on the third floor, the white walls and wooden door made Ryan hesitate, but he still knocked on the door: "Your Highness Morgiana? I am Ryan."
"Ryan? Are you back? Please come in." Morgiana's cold voice sounded in the room.
Opening the door to the room, the furnishings in the room are very simple. A simple round table, a soft bed made of cherry blossom wood, a few wardrobes, a few chairs and some simple books make up the entire life of Morgiana. According to Sulia
, the Witch of the Lake God rarely leaves the castle and spends most of her time resting in her room. Occasionally she will walk around the castle, and there will be at least eight Holy Grail Knights protecting her.
Ryan felt that there was some depression between Morgiana's eyebrows. After seeing Ryan, the situation eased. Today, the Lake God Witch was wearing a champagne-colored sleeveless dress, and her delicate ivory skin exuded a faint light.
, her green eyes looked at Ryan, and after seeing that he seemed uninjured, Morgiana stretched out her hand: "Lian, you are back, you did a good job, you once again defended the kingdom, and ended
All the atrocities committed by the Red Duke over the past hundreds of years.”
"This is not my fault alone. If we hadn't worked together to sneak into Mousilon and finally learned the location of the vampire's siege camp, this war might have continued." Ryan helped Morgiana.
When he got up, the Lake God Witch leaned against him naturally. Ryan helped her sit down behind the round table, then pulled a chair with a backrest and sat beside her.
Morgiana's eyes followed the man's movements. There was a touch of warmth in her expression, and her mood seemed much better. In this way, under the warm afternoon sun, Ryan slowly told what happened.
He told Morgiana the story, and the Lake God Witch also listened quietly.
"Hoo~" the wind blew outside the window, and Ryan spent about half an hour describing what happened in detail.
Sneaking into Mousilon in disguise, defrauding information during the summer special, evading Mathubad's detection, dealing with Old Dyke, leaving the city and going straight to the siege camp, Veronica summoned a meteor, and then killed the Blood Red Duke, leaving behind
After the break, he fought hard with Manfred and finally escaped.
Ryan's eloquence was good. He told his experience very clearly and stopped the whole time. Morgiana just nodded and smiled lightly. She conveyed the recognition from the fairy in the lake and praised Ryan's performance, but the whole story
After listening, the Lake God Witch didn't have much joy on her face, only sighed.
"What's wrong? My Highness?" Ryan keenly sensed that Morgiana was not in a good mood, so he asked proactively.
Morgiana stretched out her hand towards Ryan and motioned for Ryan to hug her.
So Ryan gently held Morgiana's little hand, picked her up and put her on his lap: "My Royal Highness?"
"You shouldn't have taken such a big risk." Morgiana leaned on Ryan and said quietly: "This war shouldn't be like this, it doesn't need to be like this, I should be the one to unite the dukes.
The army quickly destroyed the vampire army, but..."
Morgiana didn't say much else.
As the first choice of the Lake Fairy and the mortal spokesperson, she was plotted because of her carelessness. Now she is seriously injured and is like a disabled person. She can only hide in Ryan's castle to recuperate. She can hardly do anything, even daily life.
Life requires people to obey
Attendant, Ryan, Bo Derek, Francois and others led the army to fight fiercely with the vampires, but Morgiana could only get a few pieces of information from the mouth of the messenger. This made the Lake God Witch, who had always been proud and strict with herself, how could she
accept?
A pair of jade feet wearing white stockings are exposed under the long skirt. The thin stockings wrap Morgiana's delicate insteps. The small ankles are as crystal clear as jade, swinging gently under the long skirt, with crystal slippers with a little heel.
After falling to the ground, Morgiana laughed at herself: "Look, Ryan, I can't even move my legs now. I've been resting for more than a month, and I'm still in this state."
The Lake God Witch raised her head, with two lines of clear tears on her face: "Ryan, look, am I useless? You are fighting for the ladies on the front line, but I am hiding in your castle, and I need to be specially mobilized.
A team of Grail Knights protect me."
Ryan smiled bitterly when he saw this. He was at a loss. After hesitating for a while, he could only comfort him softly: "My lord, you just need to rest for a period of time. You can recover in three to five years at most. You can rest well during this period. What's the matter?"
Leave it to me and I will help you."
Morgiana suddenly raised her head. She first glared at Ryan fiercely, then leaned her face against Ryan's chest and sighed: "Yes, fortunately, I still have you. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be there now."
Was he transformed into a vampire and sacrificed blood to Nagash? In that case, it would be a disaster for this country."
Ryan said nothing. He understood how Morgiana felt. The Lake God Witch sat on Ryan's body. The two of them were silent and maintained a calm atmosphere.
Almost five minutes passed, and Morgiana finally cheered up, and the gloom on her face gradually faded away.
Yes, as she said, fortunately, she still has someone to rely on. This is a new experience for the Lake God Witch, who has always been arrogant and cold, but she doesn't feel bad. On the contrary, there is something that can be discussed.
Man, it's good to have someone you can talk to.
"Okay, it's time for me to leave, my Highness, have a good rest." However, the good time is always very short, and within a few minutes, Ryan said that it was time to leave: "If you need anything, you can talk to me directly.
You can go to Orika and ask her to tell me."
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Morgiana's tone was very strange, with an indescribable strange smell: "Am I so uncomfortable?"
"Uh..." Ryan could only sit still. He gently stroked Morgiana's back and her long golden hair: "My lord, you are a bit too sensitive. I just returned to the territory, and there are many things to do."
I'll handle it."
The Witch of the Lake God also realized her gaffe. She murmured to herself: "I'm not feeling quite right lately. I'm sorry, Ryan."
"It's okay, I told you, I understand you."
"Thank you, I feel much better with you here." Morgiana leaned on Ryan's chest and continued: "Um... are you free tomorrow afternoon? My recent emotional instability may be because the poison has not been completely detoxified.
…Can you purify it for me again?”
"…………"
After he came out of the prayer room on the third floor, Sulia had been waiting for him for a long time. The female knight asked curiously: "Why so long? Does Her Highness Morgiana have any new instructions?"
"I reported all the details of the war to Her Highness Morgiana." Ryan said helplessly: "Her mood is not very high."
"Ah, this." Sulia nodded repeatedly with great understanding: "Ryan, Your Highness Morgiana is very disappointed in herself."
"Yes, I can understand." Ryan said he understood, and he sat opposite Sulia.
"No, Ryan, you only understand part of it." Sulia shook her head repeatedly, with a slight smile on her face and said serious things: "Her Highness Morgiana must be very disappointed, she can't
Personally participating in such an important war."
Ryan frowned slightly, and he motioned for Lidya Su to continue speaking.
"The authority that the Lake Witch has is unparalleled in Britannia. She has great power and can always ignore the law. About four hundred years ago, that generation of Lake Witch Marianne once and the King
'Young Man' Louis' court wizard showdown, it only took one minute to turn the wizard into
Frog, and the reason is just that she suspected that the palace wizard knew black magic." Sulia continued: "And as you know, twenty-seven years ago, Her Highness Morgiana led the Holy Grail Knights all the way into Kuro.
In the royal palace of Naina, he pulled John II the Cruel from the throne and announced that he would be deposed."
"Yes, I know all this." Ryan nodded. In this country, the Lake God Witch has more power than the king. This is something everyone knows.
"Therefore, every Her Majesty the Lake God Witch has extremely high requirements for herself. She not only has the ability to change the destiny of this country, but also must bear the heavy responsibility of protecting this country. She has the greatest ability and the greatest responsibility. Therefore, in front of others, Morgiana
Her Highness is always arrogant, cold, and moody, and no one knows what she is thinking." Sulia continued to explain to Ryan: "She has extremely high demands on herself, because any laxity may cause the kingdom to slide into the abyss.
.”
Arrogant and cold? Moody? Ryan frowned now, is this Morgiana? Why is it different from what I remember?
But Sulia's explanation made him fully understand why Morgiana was in such a bad mood.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It is the responsibility of the Lake God Witch to protect the kingdom. She never escapes and faces it bravely. However, Morgiana is now seriously injured because of the vampire's plot. When the knights and vampires are fighting on the front line, when Ryan
She led people to infiltrate Mu Xilong and escaped death, but she could only sit on the sidelines and watch.
How torture and pain is this for the proud Morgiana?
Like the Emperor, sitting helplessly on the Golden Throne, watching his empire collapse but unable to do anything.
"I understand." Ryan completely understood. He had not been in the Kingdom of Knights for a long time. Obviously, his understanding of the Lake God Witch was far less profound than Sulia's.
Seeing that he understood, the female knight's sea-blue eyes flickered slightly, and then disappeared. She smiled again: "What do you want to eat tonight? I will arrange for the chef to do it."
"I want to eat tonight..."
…………
Five days later, Britannia, Kingdom of Curona, inside the throne room.
The old knight king Richard is reviewing official documents.
In the north of the kingdom, northern barbarian raiders from the northern wasteland are constantly harassing the kingdom's coastline. In the south of the kingdom, Duke Berleon and Count Tobalo of Estalia are fighting to regain their territory.
Another battle.
On the coastline in the west of the kingdom, the dark elf pirates have been relatively quiet recently, which finally made Richard breathe a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the gray mountains in the east of the kingdom, his already relaxed brows knitted together again.
The Duchy of Connet in Brittany owns a disputed territory of hundreds of kilometers long to Marienburg. This territory is called the "Road to Curona". The historical ownership of this territory
has always been unclear, because Britannia was once part of the empire, and under Charlemagne
Before the emperor established the empire, more than a dozen tribes migrated from the current territory of the empire to this side of the Gray Mountains, forming the Breton race. After the establishment of the empire, more people migrated from the Gray Mountains.
Living together, the bloodlines of the two parties have been mixed together, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other.
Therefore, both the Empire and Britannia have legal claims to this territory. Currently, the Brittanian knight general Roland Marshall, also known as Marshal Roland (Marshall means marshal), is leading three hundred men.
Knights and thousands of troops worked hard in this desolate swamp and forest.
Building castles and villages on the forest land, they wanted to take this large piece of land as their own, and the empire was not to be outdone. Emperor Karl-Franz sent his own capable general Kurt Heilberg, who also led the
The imperial army built castles and built villages here, forming a confrontation between the two sides.
At the southern end of the Gray Mountains, the border friction between Duke Casfan of Palavon and the Empire's Reikland has become more and more intense. Richard knew that Duke Casfan's character was a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment, so he had no choice but to go into the lake.
The fairy prayed that Casfan had better be sensible and stop causing trouble.
Next, it was the turn of the report on the battle of Turis Castle. The report was sent by Boderick, Duke of Bordeaux. In the report, Boderick proudly and angrily stated that Bordeaux had relied on his own
The power repelled the vampire army, and the king's support was no longer needed. At the same time, the report also pointed out that Baron Jean, the lady's chosen champion, and the Holy Grail Knight Commander Ryan completely ended the Blood Red Duke and brought this man to hundreds of knights in the Kingdom.
Years of painful vampire lords are completely wiped out.
"It's...Ryan again?" Richard frowned, and he said to an attendant beside him: "The Blood Red Duke has been completely eliminated. Armand, it seems that I am going to lose you."
"Yes, I once swore a poisonous oath to the lady. I will be loyal to whichever knight can kill the Blood Red Duke." A knight attendant with long black hair who looked about thirty years old said.
He is Armand de Aquitaine, the king's flag-bearer and the last descendant of Fredmond, the first Duke of Aquitaine.
"That's all, that's all. Everyone in the kingdom loudly applauded and applauded Ryan's elimination of the Blood Red Duke. Now the kingdom is surrounded by enemies from all sides. Since Ryan Malcador has accomplished such a feat, then... let's make him a count!
"Richard shook his head helplessly. The king really didn't like Ryan, but he could still distinguish the primary and secondary conflicts clearly. From the perspective of maintaining stability and inspiring people, he really should have expressed something.
"So, what kind of earl title would be better for him?" Richard moved his hand on the map, and finally set his sights on the interior of Chalon Forest, where there used to be an earl title, but it was abandoned later.
"I remember the ancient place name of this place... called Glamorgan?" (To be continued)
