The city of Nirru.

This ancient city with a long history is even older than Ashtidon, the capital of Yaqui. As the capital of Palchi, once Yaki's sworn enemy, its name has been written into the annals of history along with Parchi's centuries-long war with Yaquina. It was the largest city in the powerful mountain country of Palci, and it was also the most prosperous and fortified. However, with the eventual defeat of the Yaki War, Palci lost control of the Tiers Mountains and was forced to tear down the famous fortified walls of Nirru, which are now just the walls of the royal city used to defend the king. As a result, one of the peculiarities of the city was that all the people and trade fairs were outside the city walls, and over time, even some of the officials' residences were moved outside the city due to overcrowding. The current king, Airul IX, took advantage of this situation by building the mansions of officials outside the city in a semi-circle along the northern part of the city of Nirru, using the walls of the mansions to form a small wall, which did not violate the agreement with the Yaqui kingdom, but also served a certain defensive role.

But all the calculations that Airul had done were in vain. Since the rebellion in the Tiers Mountains three years ago, the Yaqui army has been defeated and finally completely abandoned the Tiers Mountains, and now Palch is no longer under the supervision of Yakhi, and no one will care if it is necessary to rebuild the walls.

Without the restrictions of Yaqui, the development of the city of Nirru began to grow faster, especially after Miss Arina, the head of the Count of Lorraine's house, became the governor of Port Portsmo, and goods from all over the country were continuously sent to Palchi, so that the prosperity of Palchy's commerce in this year far exceeded the development results of the previous ten years. The abundance of supplies greatly enriched the pockets of the people of Palchi, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

At this moment, in the flow of people who come and go. There was a pedestrian with a sad face pacing slowly. This man was Prince Ayuka, the younger brother of King Qadir III of Yaki.

Immediately after his arrival in the kingdom of Palchi, he met the king. and proposed that he wanted to marry Princess Affret. But the situation did not go well, and after saying a lot of ambiguous words, Arul IX finally brought up the reason why his daughter's personality was too stubborn, and then deduced that Princess Alfret declared that she must marry a handsome and dashing man who is both civil and military, and must also be a hero who is invincible all over the world. If you want to talk about the first two, Aiyuka is not too worried, after all, he himself is a living portrayal of these two. But the third article is inevitably difficult for some strongmen. The phrase "invincible opponents all over the world" is just the words boasted by martial artists, looking at the world. There are people outside the world, there is heaven in the sky, who dares to pack a ticket and say that they are invincible in the world? Even if he is one of the best in the subcardial number, it is too difficult to prove that he is invincible in the world.

For this reason, Airul decided to convene a jousting tournament for the princess in the name of the king, and summoned all the warriors of Palci to participate, and whoever won the victory would be awarded the title of the first brave man of Palci. If Ayuka can defeat all the Palchi warriors, then he will prove that he is invincible.

In the face of Arul's prevarication, Eyuka can only accept - Yaki is no longer the suzerainty that can interfere with Palci like he used to be, and after being cut off by the thief army, Palch has obviously begun to seek cooperation with the thief army. And it has effectively escaped the control of the subunit, and now whether the alliance can be re-established depends on whether the marriage is successful. This is not only related to Yaki's national fortunes, but also related to Aiyuka's personal destiny.

Aiyuka also has his own calculations in mind. Airul IX's biggest problem was the lack of an heir, and his only surviving heir was Prince Bard. It is a pity that this prince is congenitally deficient, and according to everyone's opinion, it is difficult to live past the age of thirty. This year, the prince is celebrating the twenty-ninth year of his life. If nothing else, the throne of Palchi is bound to fall into the hands of the princess Alfrite. So who can marry Princess Alfrite. And if he had a male child with her, that child would become the future king of Parci. That's what you want to do. As long as he can get to this point with the princess, then the actual control of Palci will fall into his hands. Before he could do this, he had to establish his place in the princess's mind, and at the same time prove himself to the princes and nobles of Palci. Now that the princess has made a request, it is also necessary to accept the challenge in order to prove herself, not to mention that Aiyuka himself is confident that with his martial arts skills are the same everywhere, and his superior martial arts skills and his flexible mind are not out of reach to win. And once he became the first brave man in Palchi, then his reputation in Palchi was naturally greatly improved.

After agreeing to King Arul's terms, Ayuka moved into the mansion that had been prepared for him. In the days that followed, Ayuka was busy. On the one hand, he actively visited the important ministers and nobles of Palci, and on the other hand, he sent Shagoras to investigate the famous warriors of Palci. But the outcome of both of these events was frustrating for Ayuka.

The first is that his activities against the nobles did not go well. Although he was greeted with great hospitality wherever he went, there was an invisible wall beneath the polite surface of all people. No matter how valuable a gift or how friendly he is, all he gets is polite treatment, but it's hard to see a genuine gesture of friendship.

The second is the results of Shagora's investigation. If you want to talk about the strongest samurai in Palci, then the first to recommend are the three captains of Palchi. Due to the restrictions imposed by the Yaki nation after the defeat, the maximum number of Palci's armed forces was 35,000. Among them, there were 30,000 infantry, each commanded by three commanders; There were also 5,000 cavalrymen, commanded by the king himself. Therefore, the captain was equal to the three supreme commanders in Palchi, and their strength was beyond doubt. Fortunately, the two captains are older, and they already have wives and children, so they will not be competitors, and only the youngest captain, Hector, is a threat.

This captain is two years younger than Aiyuka, and he is only thirty-one years old this year. Being able to hold the position of captain at the age of 30 shows his strength. And it is said that the captain seems to have a longing for the princess, so he has never been married.

In this regard, Aiyuka really has a hard time. This young military commander should have been an important force he would rely on in the future, but if he had any extravagant expectations for the princess, he would have become an enemy of love. In this way, I have made a strong rival for myself, and how to deal with this relationship in the future is really a headache.

The worse news was that the strength of the king's cavalry was not to be underestimated, even if Hector was not counted, and that the jousting decree issued by Airul IX was not only issued to the whole of Palci, but also to the tribes of Nubia, a vassal state further south. Nubian men are said to be born warriors and are still in an uncivilized state, and are known for their belligerence and bloodthirstiness. If this group of barbarians joins, God knows if there will be a terrible opponent inside?

Faced with all the bad news, Aiyuka was upset and finally decided to go to the market to relax. With two retinues appointed by the Palchi State (in Aiyuka's opinion), Aiyuka wandered around the market for a long time, but his mood was still low.

In fact, in addition to these uncertain factors, there is another unspeakable annoyance - that is, after a long period of sea drifting and the torture of the journey, once he settles down, the impulse that belongs to the primitive instinct of a man in Aiyuka begins to become difficult to suppress. But now is the eve of marrying Princess Palci, and he can't cause some dishonorable affairs. Due to the geographical location of Palcibiaki in the south, the folk customs are also different, so the clothes on the women of Palchi are also more revealing. In particular, the female slaves were almost completely naked, and the piles of wonderful curves and the faint smell of sweat made Aiyuka horny and miserable. Considering that the princess was still a little girl who had just turned fifteen, I am afraid it was difficult to expect anything from her in terms of sensuality.

Just as he had to slow down and shift his attention, a familiar figure swept out of the corner of his eye. (To be continued......)
