Autumn is at the end of October in Mastar, when the warm air from the south and the slanting autumn sun make the climate cool and pleasant throughout the Massaria Plain. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the earth has just taken off its dark green summer clothes and replaced them with golden yellow dotted with red. The only thing that worries you is that the weather is a little dry at this time, which can easily cause fires, but with careful precautions, this dryness is actually one of the more pleasing factors of autumn.

The streets of Shurasa were filled with a festive atmosphere for the past few days, because Her Majesty the Empress who had just succeeded to the throne was about to give her a wedding, and the object that was the envy of all the Mastars was the Marquis of Leon Fieldes. Of course, by tonight, he will be the Grand Duke of Field.

The bustling Titus Street, the main thoroughfare leading from the north gate of Shurasa to the Imperial Palace, is also the liveliest street in Shurasa. The good harvest has kept the shops busy and busy these days, and this situation has affected a group of military personnel. On closer inspection, the mighty knight of the Northern Army escorted a heroic female knight, but this beautiful woman did not seem to be Mastar's fertile child.

China didn't secretly enter the ancient and bustling city this time, as she did last time, because the situation was different from a few months ago. This time her identity was public and official, and she came to congratulate Empress Mastar on her wedding on behalf of her homeland, the Farensi.

Because of this, Todd Lance sent her a full escort of 100 knights, although China was able to reach her destination intact on her own. The knights of Mastar had complained about the commander's arrangement, but when they saw the appearance of the escort, they immediately began to praise Thord, and pity their comrades who were not accompanied by them.

The procession finally made its way through the dense crowd to the main entrance of the Ed-Elysées, where the guards at the gate let the group in after examining the paperwork. Gina was finally able to take a good look at the palace this time, and although she had been there last time, she didn't observe much in the night.

The news of the visit of the envoy of Farenci was soon reported, and Atalanta, who had come out to greet Chenna. Due to the wedding to be held on this day, Atalanta, as one of the concubines, did not appear in a military uniform as usual, but appeared in a formal dress, which made China a little uncomfortable.

"Your Highness is waiting for you, please come with me." Atalanta didn't seem enthusiastic.

"Okay, thank you." Cena bowed slightly, and followed Atalanta, who turned and left.

Coming to the door of a room, Atalanta knocked on the door, and the voice of inquiry from inside was that of Cosette.

"The messenger of Farensi, Mademoiselle Lamfonte, is here."

"Please let her in." Sigrani commanded.

Atalanta pushed open the door and let Cena in first, and then closed the door and followed. Sigrani got rid of the female officers who helped with the makeup, and turned her head to look at China with a complicated look in her eyes. China felt uncomfortable staring at her like this, because it was a look that compared people to themselves, and anyone with self-esteem would feel uncomfortable.

Thankfully, Sigrani didn't last long, and she waved her hand and motioned for the ladies to go down. The ladies curtsy her obediently and exited the room one by one, and Atalanta stepped forward to close the door carefully.

"Cosette, you can do the rest for me." Sigrani turned her head and ordered.

"On behalf of our country and our Majesty the Queen, I wish you our most sincere wishes for such a happy marriage." China began with her diplomatic rhetoric.

"You ought to be happy about this marriage, shouldn't you?" Sigrani replied unceremoniously.

"We are truly delighted." China understood what Sigrani meant, but she had to pretend to be confused.

"Mademoiselle Lanfonte, I am glad to have you at my wedding. The Falencians have always been generous, what gift have you brought us this time? "Sigrani knows that it's not fun to talk to someone as smart as Chinna, and it's good for both parties to be direct.

"There is such a gift, but there are two owners in this house, and we as guests don't know what to do with the gift." China replied in accordance with the other party's words.

Sigrani sneered and said, "Miss Lanfonte is still so unlovable, and she doesn't take advantage of it at all." Okay, let's stop sparing the password. The Rossi family has always shed the blood of treason, and it is not surprising that they were able to betray the Griffith family more than three hundred years ago, and raise the flag of treason against us three hundred years later. The Heinels knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, so they had already prepared for the current state of affairs. ”

"You're saying victory must be on your side?" China interrupted Sigrani.

"Do you have any doubts about that?" Sigrani stared at Cena again, and what Chygrani saw in her eyes was an unwavering conviction, or rather an all-encompassing hope. This didn't surprise Chenna, in fact she knew Sigrani's abilities and ambitions just as well as Sogrend.

"If I had to say, it's normal for gamblers to bet on either side until everything is finalized."

"That's true." Sigrani didn't care if she didn't convince Chyna.

"However, I think we can handle things better, at least objectively fair to all three sides, and as for who we are more inclined to subjectively, then let's not go into details." Chinna's answer was clear, and Farensi's sincerity was obvious.

"Stay for my wedding, you won't be without a dress."

"I don't have a lot of luggage, but it's enough for a military dress."

"It's a pity, since you left last time, many people have asked me about you."

"Oh? What did Your Majesty say to them? ”

"I told you the truth."

"Really?"

"It's really uncute to say you're not cute, can't you show a little surprise? Anyway, today is also my wedding day, and it won't be a loss for you to satisfy the bride's competitive spirit. ”

A grand scene, a grand wedding. In the temple of the goddess Juno, who presides over the marriage, the main aisle is covered with a brand new Pamis red velvet carpet. The last flowers of the year were scattered from the ceiling of the temple to the bride's head, and the whole scene looked like a celebration in heaven, and people couldn't help but be obsessed with such wonderful fantasies.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds and the newlywed couple sailed through Shurazak in a horse-drawn carriage. Everywhere they went, the crowd sang their heartfelt praises. The gilded carriage carrying the newlyweds was drawn by four beautifully dressed white horses, whose fur was not in the slightest variegation, so that, when they were fitted with silver headdresses, they looked exactly like unicorns. The newlyweds looked so compatible, with happy smiles on their faces and friendly waves for the people. equally bright blonde hair; the same handsome face; The same elegant temperament makes people think that Minerva and Mars came to the world at the same time.

"The people of Mastar had a pretty good dream today." Cenna remained a calm observer.

"Miss Lanfonte, are you leaving?" Hayes, who is both a minister and a security officer, asked.

"Yes, I hope to be able to attend your wedding next time, and I say goodbye." Chyna drove the newly prepared horses for her, picked the direction of the sparse crowd, and hurried out of the city.

"I didn't expect Miss Leonara, the playboy who made Mastar one of the best, to be a Pharian." Redknapp leaned over to his friend and sighed.

"Don't you feel tired of saying such a long sentence in one breath?"

"Bavar, you owe me three gold coins." Redknapp said with a serious face.

"When? How did I not know? ”

"The last time we bet on His Highness Fields if he would get married within the year, it was the day the sword tournament ended. You said it yourself, if you are willing to bet three gold coins, he can't settle it. ”

"I'm just talking about it......" Hayes apparently remembered.

"Actually, you don't have to give it to me."

"Really? Frank, you're my best friend. ”

"I won't give you and Atalanta's bride price, so it's a tie."

"You want to be beautiful!" The bride price can be more than three gold coins.

"Imagine that if I marry after you, then Cosette and I will have to give two bride prices combined, and then you will only have to give me one. No, I have to prevent that from happening. Redknapp suddenly realized something important.

"Then why don't we bet on who gets married first, and the bet is three gold coins?"

"Just what I want." So the two began the Nth "bet of three gold coins" between them.

(Four days later, Nabrus)

Marquis Rossi was discussing many matters related to the Northern Expedition with his staff, when Berlusconi, the captain of his personal guard, walked in and whispered to the marquis: "Lord Marquis, the envoy of Falunsi is already outside, and she said that she has come to negotiate a deal with you." ”

"The Pharansy barbarians still want to join in the fun. Well, let her in. "The Marquis of Rossi was not a man of all scheming, and he had sent someone to watch the movements of Shurasa early in the morning.

After a while, Berlusconi ushered the visitor into the conference room. When Cizer saw someone coming, he gasped, it turned out to be Chenna. The door to the conference room was open, and the guards crossed their spears to stop China from moving on.

"Is this the hospitality of the ancient Rossi family, the glorious descendants of the Articut Empire?" China said quietly, "I thought Your Excellency would be more polite to Madam. "Stupid little trick, China unceremoniously deducted a number of points from her evaluation of Rossi's family.

Marquis Rossi waved for the guards to let him go, leaned back in his chair lazily, and replied, "Please don't be surprised, they are just a little nervous when they see the beautiful woman." Among the Mastars present, with the exception of Cizer and Berlusconi, they all laughed.

"Alright, young lady from afar, let's hear what kind of deal you have brought."

"Then I'll get straight to the point," China didn't let her disgust affect her expression, "Sigrani and His Excellency the Marquis are bound to have a vigorous battle to the death, and Falunsi just wants to see the outcome in his favor." ”

"Let's talk about it." The Marquis lifted his chin.

"The help we can give you is this, the Count of Reims of the Northern Army is your greatest trouble, and our country is the closest to them. If necessary, the Farensi could attack at any time to contain them. Of course, we may not have the manpower to take care of them because of the rebellion that has just ended. ”

If the Northern Army can be nailed to the wall of Falunsi, then the Southern Army and the private forces of the Rossi family will attack Shurasa with a superiority of 250,000 to 60,000; On the contrary, there is no such advantage at all.

And the Eastern Army's Trapattoni is not strong enough, he will only lose himself if he joins, and at the beginning of the year, the Eastern Army lost nearly two wings in France. And most of the ransomed wings have already given their allegiance to the one who should, and with the influence of the Fields family, it is best for the Eastern Army to stay still. The Parmis army stationed in Scalan was enough of a headache for old Maldini of the Western Army, who had neither the heart nor the ability to participate.

"Sounds good, but we can't necessarily afford it." The Marquis is not a fool, and he is still very clear about the fact that pies will not fall from the sky.

"The price is a little bigger, the land north of Campeña plus 200,000 gold coins, pay half of the gold coins first."

"It's interesting," Marquis Rossi rubbed his hands, "but do we have to cooperate with your country?" You know, we have a lot of troops and resources. ”

"Farensi does what she can, and what we ask is a drop in the bucket for you, and what we do is far greater than what you give. If the Marquis is not willing to pay this price, Shurasa has a good family, and we can also help the one who is Shurasa deal with you. ”

"I'm afraid your country doesn't have any weapons that can threaten me." The Marquis said conceitedly.

"Oh? yes, you can go and look it up. Our Lord Leus, who sent him back to land from the Iswana Sea. China replied with a pretended profoundness.

The Marquis of Rossi was puzzled, he didn't understand what this meant. The Marquis looked at the staff with an inquiring gaze, but unfortunately they were also inexplicable. At this time, Cizer leaned into the marquis's ear and said, "Let's do this today, although the Phalensins may be playing tricks, we must also investigate the cause before we can make a correct judgment." ”

Marquis Rossi nodded and replied, "Your Excellency's proposal is indeed very attractive, but wouldn't it be beneficial for everyone to make a resolution after we think about it carefully?" ”

"Indeed, His Excellency the Marquis has made a wise decision." China doesn't seem to care if she can negotiate the deal.

"Berlusconi, please go and arrange a good place for this young lady to stay."

"By the way, I haven't asked for Miss's name yet." Berlusconi saluted Cena as a knight.

"Cena Lanfonte."

"Well, then, your country's Admiral Shapur Lanfonte ......" Berlusconi was taken aback.

"It's my father."

Berlusconi was surprised at the same time, but also felt a chill behind him, obviously someone didn't want him to have too much communication with the young lady in front of him. As an upright knight, he also felt that he was asking too much, so he respectfully said to Chenna, please come with me.

Cenna packed her few belongings and sat down by the window. She was placed in one of the most luxurious hotels in Nablos, with a good orientation and a prime location that made it easy for guests to enjoy the best of the city from the comfort of their rooms. Nablos at the beginning of November is covered in the red of mid-autumn, but unlike Shurasa, evergreen trees still occupy half of the city's walls; At this time, Kawenescu should have already drifted the first light snow of the year.

Twenty days earlier, Queen Margaret had suddenly ordered her to send Marstar again. Margaret seemed to be trying to cover up something, and hurriedly sent her south, not even letting her say goodbye to Sogrande. At the thought of Sogrend, China immediately thought of the wedding that had taken place in Shurasa a few days earlier. Fate was a trick, and the Higrani who had done everything in his power to get Sogrande ended up marrying someone else; And she, a woman who doesn't even expect her biological father to marry, has a marriage contract.

From the perspective of an onlooker, her marriage contract with Sogrand is more of a union of interests. As a woman, if you want to get more space in the army, then you have to be a backer for an influential figure like Sogrande; As a superior person who is labeled as an alien race, it is also quite beneficial to the future if he can make his position clear through marriage.

Is that really the case? Gina thought that maybe she should ask Sogrend what he thought, but she knew that Sogrend would definitely reply: "It's an objectively beneficial outcome, don't you think so?" ”

"Knock--" A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

Chyna got up to open the door, it was Cizer, and was about to let him eat the closed door, but Cizer rushed in first.

"Your Excellency Bertrand!" China was a little annoyed. But Cizer didn't care, and casually closed the door behind him.

"Chenna, how did you end up here?" Cizer expressed concern.

"With your wisdom, I don't think it's necessary to explain it to you." Cenna replied lukewarmly.

Cizer actually knew what Cena was here for, but he didn't care about that. Now that Gina was once again within reach of him, he wouldn't let her escape, at least Cizer thought.

"If you don't have anything else to do, please go back." Cena was about to open the door to chase away the guest, but Cizer took the opportunity to enclose her on the door panel, and Chyna smelled the uneasiness, "What do you want?" ”

"Chenna, I won't let you run away again this time. You are the sun in my heart, and I will marry you. Stay, stay with me, and give me at least one chance. Cezel whispered in her ear in a voice that swept many women, mixed with words that no one else had ever heard.

"Thank you for your favor, but I'm already engaged." Cena was almost unmoved.

"Who? With whom?! Saugland Leus?! Cizer almost growled, "Damn it, I knew it." This guy scared Leon first, and now it's my turn. ”

There was a dead silence, but Chyna didn't want to break it, she didn't have any sense of obligation to Cizer.

"I don't care about that," Cezel's eyes turned to gambler's madness, "you're driving me crazy, Cenna." Anyway, now that you're in my hands, I have to do what I want. With that, he leaned over to Chinna.

"Your Excellency Bertrand......" The weakness in Ginna's tone made Cizer even more confused.

"Call me Cezel." Cizer breathed warm breath in Čina's ear.

"All right, Cizer." Chyna must admit that Cizer has a knack for dealing with women, but she can still force herself not to sink into it, "If I marry you, just if, what can you give me?" A life of abundance, is it an indulgent love? ”

"What could be better for a woman to enjoy?" Cizer frowned, Ginna's difference puzzled him and fascinated him even more. "I'll make you forget everything with happiness, I promise."

Chyna smiled inwardly, and after listening to Cezel's answer, she finally understood why she would agree to Sogland's proposal.

"Poets like to compare women to birds and flowers, right?" Cizer felt that he was about to fail again, and hurriedly tried to seal Cenna's tongue with a kiss, but was easily stopped by the other party.

"Cizer, you and Thorgrand, you shouldn't say what is the biggest difference between most men in the world and Thorgrande, you know?" Ignoring his reply, Cenna continued, "If you compare me to a bird, you are a gorgeous birdcage that wants to keep me in your little world; Thorge, on the other hand, is the sky that allows me to soar freely. If you compare me to a flower, then you want to take it home because the flower is beautiful; Thorge, on the other hand, is a gardener who gives more sunlight and water to the flowers. I can't stay in your birdcage, for I'm not a canary, if only a tea falcon; I can't let it be brought back and put in a vase, because I'm not a rose, if it's just a daisy on the side of the road. ”

The silence lasted for a moment, and Cena didn't care about it, because she knew her words had worked.

"Chenna, I'm a selfish guy, I won't say anything like 'bless you', you'll regret it sooner or later." Cizer let go of his encirclement, "I'll wait for you to come back crying and beg me." After saying that, he opened the door and left without hesitation.
