Rise In Calradia

The flag of the black lion on the red background was flying outside the city of Suno. The sideline of the royal family, the lord of Suno and the Earl of Craggs, one of the most powerful vassals of Swadia, officially returned to his territory.

As a guest and the new earl of the kingdom who is about to be awarded, Byron personally rides with the earl's guard to greet him. Byron was full of spirits at this time. He was wearing a new dress, a velvet hat, and a satin robe. He had recruited several companions from aristocratic backgrounds. They brought a lot of gifts and boxes full of silver as Byron's proposal. Dowry.

Byron has already imagined what will happen next. He will have an in-depth exchange with Count Craggs and formally propose a marriage to him. He is very sure about this, because since he took down Fort Amira, he The relationship with the Earl of Craggs quickly warmed up. In the previous letter, the Earl had clearly stated in the letter that he was considering finding a good man for his daughter. It is best if he is young and promising and has a good relationship with his daughter. . That's why Byron dared to propose to Nelda, because he doesn't have to be afraid that things won't happen afterwards.

After confirming the marriage contract, he will go to Palavin with his prospective father-in-law to attend a grand banquet held by the king. He will pledge allegiance to King Harous in a costume, and then formally accept the title of Earl and declare that he and Chennai Erda’s marriage, dine with everyone amid the blessings of the lords. In the next few days, he will try his best to pull in relations with the lords at the banquet, conclude transactions, and consolidate his position and rights in a decent way. Finally, he will attend the Cavaliers Tournament, not as a participant but to appreciate the game with VIPs, and award the champion after the competition. This imagination was so wonderful that he suddenly felt a little grateful for King Harous. Of course, this feeling lasted only about two minutes. After all, Byron would not forget the cruel reality that the king had wanted to kill himself.

"Byron, how grateful to be here? Is it more comfortable than the South?" Earl Craggs rode a horse in front of the team, waved to Byron a dozen feet away, and Byron immediately returned the salute. Horse and Craggs walked together, and now the two sides are no longer a relationship similar to superiors, but elders versus juniors.

"My lord, it makes me very happy to see you. I have a request and I hope you can agree to it." Byron, who was rarely impatient, also went straight to the subject, intending to explain his intentions directly, and save a lot of words.

"I also have news to bring to you, Byron." Earl Craggs took out an exquisitely decorated scroll with a roaring lion on the ink pad and a crown on the lion's head. , On the paw. In the entire Swadia area, only two people have the right to use this seal. One of them is still in Veluga, and there is only one possibility for the identity of the owner of this seal.

"Your Majesty's order is more than anything else, my lord, can I accept it now?" Byron saw the king's scroll, and he estimated that it was officially announcing that he was going to Palavin to accept the canonization order, and he was naturally happy in his heart.

"Not yet, Byron, we have to wait until we get to the castle. However, I suggest you be prepared. Some things... are more complicated than you think." Earl Craggs saw that Byron was already there. The joy expressed on his face, but he kindly reminded Byron.

"You are right." Byron nodded, but still had great expectations. After all, this matter is almost known to the whole country now, and it is too late for the king to regret it. If you want to come, His Majesty the King has made a bunch of conditions, but it doesn't matter, it's all at this point, and Byron can't refuse, right?

On the next journey, Byron didn't say much. While thinking about the restrictions that the king might put on him, he chatted with the earl. Naturally, he had to put aside the proposal for a while and wait until the king's order was announced.

Soon, they returned to the castle, and Mrs. Anna and Nelda came out to welcome them. The earl happily followed them upstairs to change clothes, making Byron a little embarrassed. Change your clothes before announcing the king's order. Is this order important or unimportant? Byron didn't understand, but he also resisted without asking. Just making a gesture with Nelda, the other party also smiled, and a little shyly followed his father upstairs.

But the wait was an hour later. Byron was a little bored sitting in the hall. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure out what the king wanted to do, and the earl's strange attitude.

When the earl went downstairs, the situation was even worse. The Earl of Craggs wore a brocade gown that was only used during major ceremonies, with a gold crown, and a gilded ceremonial sword inlaid with gems on his waist. The thick velvet cloak was half a slap as thick as a quilt. I feel heavy when I look at it. Byron recognizes this form. It is a gorgeous dress worn by powerful and wealthy earls only on the most important occasions in the kingdom. But I only heard that Byron has never seen any earl wear such a dress. Solemnly. Not only that, both Mrs. Anna and Nelda also changed dresses, followed by a whole team instead of a few Suno City knights. Chinese uniforms are very heroic.

"Did Nelda talk to the earl? That shouldn't be it, let alone the engagement, even the wedding doesn't have to be so formal~www.wuxiaspot.com~Byron is a bit puzzled, can't think of it right now. What major event is worthy of the earl's fight.

"Could it be that we are leaving for Palavin today? The earl came back to change his clothes?" Byron thought, and walked a few steps forward, but a guard suddenly walked over from the side and gave him a piece for Byron. The light red cloak painted with delicate golden peonies is much better than Byron's usual wear.

Byron suddenly understood something at this time, put on a cloak and sorted out his clothes, thinking in his heart that what he was thinking was not true, looking at Earl Craggs, and waiting for his speech.

"Baron Von Byron." The earl walked into the hall, faced Byron, broke the sealing mud, and opened the scroll.

"The lawful ruler of Swadia, the noble King Harous, has bestowed upon me a high honor, and I will grant you the title of earl in the name of the king. I will witness your oath to the king and replace the king with the title of earl. Power is given to you.” Craggs unrolled the parchment scroll and showed Byron the letter written by His Majesty King Harous, as well as the scepter and sword given to the earl on the plate in the hands of the attendants (from the time of Varangia) tradition of).

"Damn it!"

The moment Earl Craggs finished speaking, Byron scolded King Harous harshly in his heart.
