Lord Helanza

Surdak touched the ground on one knee, cupped the back of Mrs. Marianne's hand with one hand, and leaned to his mouth to kiss gently.

Mrs. Marian smiled and motioned to Surdak to stand up and speak.

"Are you Surdak Baron?"

When she laughed, some crow's feet appeared on the corners of her eyes. These are the marks that the years left on her face. When she was young It must be a beautiful woman.

Surdak replied respectfully:

"Yes, ma'am."

Marian said gently: "It's a little different from what I imagined. Strong like a northerner."

The Marquis Luther looked very happy. He stretched out his hand to signal Surdak to sit on the opposite sofa, and said, "The journey must be very smooth. You came earlier than I expected. One week."

"Yes, Lord Marquis. After receiving the letter from you, I rushed to the airport terminal of Helanza City. There happened to be a magical airship about to fly to Pena." Surdak sat embroidered. On the gorgeously patterned sofa, some restrained replied.

The level of luxury in the manor’s castle hall is a bit beyond his imagination. Many utensils are inlaid with gold wire, and there are crystal chandeliers on the ceiling. Even the tea table in front of it is carved from iron and wood. The tea sets on the table are all made of sterling silver, with red sapphires inlaid on them, and the gold guards are sharply polished.

After Surdak sat down, the maid who had been waiting aside hurriedly made fragrant tea for everyone.

He sits upright on the sofa, but the soft sofa is not suitable for this sitting posture. He said to the Marquis Luther in front of him: "My lord Marquis, without your strong recommendation, I might The greatest achievement in his life is the guard camp Knight in Helanza. For this, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you."

Said he stood up again and paid a military salute to Surdak.

The Marquis Luther wore a neat aristocratic dress. When he was not stern, the imposing manner on his body disappeared, but his eyes were still embarrassed and his hair was combed. The beard is neatly shaved, and his beard is cleanly shaved. He is at least ten years younger than he was in Vojmara.

For Surdak’s humble attitude, Marquis Luther was very satisfied. He waved his hand to Surdak and said:

"Hehe, it’s nothing, for a Knight who is good at Holy Light Technique. Sooner or later, you will enter the level of nobility. I just shortened the process a little bit, and played a little role in the process. I am very happy to be able to help a young and promising Knight like you."

The Marquis Luther picked up the teacup and took a sip before asking:

"Has your Baron been settled? If you don't find a suitable place, you can come to Pena. After all, the layout of Helanza City is still a bit smaller. Almost noble lords over there have private planes. It is difficult to have more fertile land for you to choose."

Surdak didn't expect Luther The Marquis will also help himself to expand the territory. He is about to say that he has selected a territory in Helanza. As far as the Marquis of Luther continues to say:

"Relatively speaking, Pena City is better than Helanza's territory. The choice is much larger. A good young noble like you should choose a more promising plane and set Baron on a wealthy plane. When everything stabilizes, you can expand your position in the plane. New territory, this is a step that every capable nobleman must go through."

'...'

Surdak didn't expect to be able to do this as well, he took the position as the master The land on the surface will be more valuable.

The Marquis of Luther said: “As long as you expand your territory to a large enough area and build enough merits on the battlefield of the plane, you can be promoted from a third-class Baron to a second-class Baron. In fact, this The process is very easy for you. First of all, the territory that needs to be expanded does not need to be very large, and the feats to be established only require a few enemy heads."

I heard Marquis Luther say this, as if A new door slowly opened in front of Surdak, and he asked with a look of surprise: "Marquis Lord, can I still be promoted?"

Marquis Luther and Mary Mrs. Ann smiled at each other and said:

"Of course, there is a high wall between the nobles and the common people. It is difficult for ordinary people to pass, but when you enter the aristocratic class, you can follow the rules of behavior of the nobles. , To exercise some of your power, you will find that the promotion of the title is actually not difficult. The only criterion for judging is the territory and merit. As long as you build enough merit, you can even reach my current position."

"Now that the Grimm Empire is breaking out in plane wars, it is far more difficult to build merits than imagined."

Surdak thought that the Marquis of Luther was one of the lords of Pena Province, and he naturally supported him very much. The young nobleman of the empire came to the battlefield, and he has two very famous Swordsman regiments. These are probably the confidence of the Marquis Luther to say these words.

The Marquis of Luther said: "After this Maca battle, it is estimated that I will take a rest for a while."

"It’s just that the majority of Pena Legion’s military power is currently trapped on the Warsaw plane. Although the war situation has improved some time ago, but recently it has fallen into a passive battle. The main force of the Bushman family’s structured Knight was blocked by those devils in the mountainous area of ​​the eastern part of Gandaul. The Kempato River defense line also declared a crisis. But Duke Ryan Busman offended Angel Boulder’s Imperial Family, and the Imperial Family Knight regiment has been completely withdrawn from the Warsaw plane."

"The Pena Supreme Council is now facing the Warsaw plane. There are several different opinions on one-step strategic deployment. No matter which opinions are finally decided, Pena Province will send new troops to you to change defenses."

"My next defense zone will not be on the Warsaw plane, when the time comes I hope you can go with me."

Marquis Luther looked at Surdak expectantly.

Although Surdak doesn’t want to participate in the war of planes, his unpleasant memories are related to the war of planes, but he knows that he can never say it at this time, and can only brace oneself and say: "i Hope to follow the lord’s march."

Hearing Surdak’s statement, Marquis Luther felt very satisfied. He liked a young nobleman with backbone like Surdak very much. Youngster should have a harder bone.

At this moment, he seemed to be thinking of something. He looked at the empty seat and gave Mrs. Marianne a little impatiently.

Mrs. Marianne was slightly nodded to him, beckoning him to be patient and so on.

At this time, the curtain of the arch next to the living room trembled slightly.

The two maids lifted the curtains hanging on the arches, and several noble ladies in the dresses of imperial court dresses filed out from the corridor.

There was a faint smile on the blonde's face, and Surdak's eyes were dazzled by his snow-white arms and chest.

This kind of palace dress style long skirt waist can be narrowed down, the design style of the chest is large, although it is decorated with some white lace, it is still Surdak seen The most unrestrained long skirt, the exquisite collarbone, and most of the breasts are almost unobstructed.

Hathaway walks behind the three noble ladies in a white gauze dress. Her dress is slightly elegant, not as gorgeous as her three sisters, but she is pure and pure. The white lilies are as beautiful.

She deliberately walked at the back, and when she walked, she also appeared depressed and unhappy, a little absent-minded.

These aristocratic ladies walked out of the corridor and saw Surdak sitting on the sofa. Seeing Marquis Luther talking to him happily, they looked at Surdak curiously and whispered to him. Looks.

Surdak's appearance may not be considered as handsome, even thrown into the crowd, but it is a little ordinary, but he is a kind of imposing manner that can only be possessed through countless killings on the battlefield. After countless wars, baptism People who are far more masculine than those young aristocrats raised in a greenhouse.

The noble lady walking in the forefront is holding a small folding fan with one hand. When she sees Surdak, her big twinkle eyes become bright, and the smile on her face becomes more natural.

The reaction of the Marquis Luther to the daughters motioned them to sit over.

Four noble ladies came to the Marquis Luthor's side, one by one looked gorgeous.

Only Hathaway was lowering her head, looking at the toe of her shoe exposed under her skirt, constantly stirring a ribbon in her hand.

While introducing them, the Marquis Luther said to his daughters: "This is Surdak Baron, the bravest Knight who was in the battle of Vojmara on the plane of Maca. These are My daughter is usually so spoiled that she doesn’t know aristocratic etiquette..."

Hearing the first sentence of Marquis Luthor’s introduction, Hathaway Luther lifted the head a little absent-mindedly, only to realize that Surdak looked towards himself with piercing eyes, with a faint smile in his eyes.

He is wearing an aristocratic dress that is not too decent, standing in front of the sofa with his waist straight.

Hathaway immediately stared wide-eyed, and the joy in her heart instantly climbed to her face. If she didn’t have a little sense of reason in her heart, she might have to pounce on it at this time and give Surdak a big hug .

She didn't expect anyway. The young nobleman whom the Marquis Luther wanted to introduce to their sisters was Surdak.

At this moment, she remembered that when she was in Handanal County, Surdak was only a warrior in the heavy armored infantry regiment. Later, she met Surdak again. He had become the Knight of Helanza City Guard Camp. , And it was Surdak Baron who stood in front of him now.

Hathaway couldn't believe it.

During this time, the Marquis of Luther said many times at the table that he met a very good youngster on the plane of Maca... Hathaway never thought of Surdak, now Surdak suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. This surprise was indeed a bit big. I knew it would be like this. I wouldn't have to venture out of the manor private meeting Surdak the night before.

Thinking of this... Hathaway's face turned red.

Everyone present, including the Marquis of Luther and Madame Marianne, could see that the noble ladies walked out of the corridor, Surdak’s eyes fell on Hathaway who was walking at the back, and they kept staring. He kept her and never left.

Obviously this situation is what the Marquis Luther wants to see most. He stood up and said to Mrs. Marianne: "Perhaps we should let the youngster talk together..."

Mrs. Marianne stood up and left the living room with the arm of the Marquis Luther.

Several aristocratic ladies are like cats full of curiosity, surrounded by Surdak, vying to introduce themselves, and then they chatted with him with one sentence from the left to the right, but their topic Surdak is not very different. Understand, Hathaway, who was sitting on the side, didn’t interrupt her mouth from start to finish, but sat quietly on the side with a faint smile on her face. At this moment, she just wanted to pass the good news to Beatrice behind. .

Obviously, Hathaway’s elder sisters are also very good at Surdak's first impression. They tried their best to make themselves more feminine.

"I don't know the name of this lady yet..."

For some reason, the more Hathaway kept silent, Surdak wanted to tease her.

"Hathaway."

Hathaway's eyebrows raised, staring at Surdak and said.

She saw the distress in Surdak’s eyes. She probably didn’t want to sit here to deal with her boring sisters. She felt a little bit proud in her heart and said, “There’s still some time before dinner. Or I will take you around the manor..."

"I can't ask for it!"

Surdak quickly got up from the sofa and followed Hathaway out of the magnificent hall .

The three noble ladies stayed on the sofa and looked at each other, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Why does everyone like Hathaway?" Hathaway's elder sister complained.

Looking at the two walking out of the hall side by side, another elder sister exclaimed: "Why do I think they seem to have a tacit understanding?"

"Should we follow?" The youngest sister squinted her eyes and raised her proud chin very resentfully, and asked the moved towards elder sisters.

When they followed out of the hall, they saw Hathaway and Surdak ascending the stairs of the castle watchtower through the side door, and immediately said with a little discouragement:

"Forget it, don’t you? Want us to climb such high stairs in crystal shoes?"

The frowns of Hathaway's elder sisters who stood by the door whispered:

"Father is too partial to Hathaway …She obviously had a fiance before, so why should I call her this time…"

Hathaway and Surdak moved towards the top of the observation tower side by side. She chose this tower deliberately, Only here is more than two hundred steps to block the three half-sisters behind him. Although Hathaway and them live in a castle, their life circles are hardly overlapped, and they are not favored by the Marquis Luther. You can't even go to the restaurant Hathaway frequents for breakfast.

Seeing that there were no other people around, Hathaway turned around, jade-green fixed her eyes on Surdak and asked: "How could it be you?"

"You But I never told me that you are the daughter of the Marquis of Luther. I came to Pena this time and I received an invitation from the Marquis of Luther. Speaking of which world is really small... or the aristocratic circle is not too big. !" Surdak said to Hathaway with a smile.

Hathaway turned her head and looked towards the window, leaving Surdak with a perfect profile. The pearl necklace on her neck and the milk-colored skin complemented each other.

Ascending to the high platform, Hathaway leaned against the wall of the observation deck, and saw that the ball was being set up in the garden below. Some tables were already laid out with neat and clean tablecloths. There were already some The fruit plate was placed on it, and the maids were busy around. There were a few barbecue grills on the outermost periphery, and several chefs were cooking delicious food.

"Should we have these for dinner?" Surdak asked curiously, looking at the barbecue on the grill below.

Hathaway shook the head and said: "Of course not, these are specially prepared for the prom, and the dinner is prepared in the kitchen!"

After that, she turned and looked up Raising her pointed chin, when she raised her head, the delicate collarbone showed deep dents, and a gust of wind blew her cheeks. She stared at Surdak who was curiously looking at the back garden, and her lips curled up like water chestnut slightly. The upward arc...
