Chapter 467： Natasha's Engagement (2 in 1)

...

Next, there were no waves on the way to retreat.

On the way, they met Boris and Rael, who had been waiting here for several days.

The two guys had indeed waited for Narant at the stone bridge for more than ten days.

But later, the Northern Principality found that the team crossing the desert had not arrived, so it sent spies to check.

After Boris and the others discovered that there were spies from the Northern Principality, they had no choice but to evacuate with the thousands of prisoners.

When these captured guards appeared, there was another uproar in the army.

Especially when they heard that most of the prisoners of the guards belonged to Narant, the little nobles were even more angry.

It can be said that the few vassals of the Tulip Family are the only ones who have made a lot of money this time.

Of course, they didn't know that there were more than a dozen of the enemy's noble descendants in Narant's hands, otherwise they would be even more jealous.

Because the evacuation was in a hurry this time, the exchange of prisoners had to be postponed.

And this kind of thing doesn't need to worry about Narant, when the time comes, it will be enough to leave a few subordinates and guard a few noble children.

After the war, the Northern Principality and the Onyx Principality will exchange prisoners of war. After all, many nobles in the Onyx Principality were arrested in this war.

...

Time flies, and at noon that day, the retreating army of the Onyx Principality finally arrived at the Fire Dragon Fortress.

When they arrived at the Fire Dragon Fortress, the Fire Dragon Fortress was only able to gather an army of 20,000 people.

Therefore, if there is no appearance of Narant, it is estimated that the end of the autumn expedition team is that all members are captured, and only the nobles and elite knights have a chance to escape.

The king was naturally dissatisfied with this speed of support. The first time he came back, he dismissed the garrison commander of the Fire Dragon Fortress and prepared to bring it back to the capital for accountability.

The army rested for two days in the Huolongbao fortress. Except for the King's Iron Guard Cavalry Regiment and the elite guards who stayed to prevent the invasion of the Northern Principality and the Church, all the vassals began to return to their respective camps one after another.

Narrant left two storm knights and a dozen barbarian guards behind to collect the ransom from the Northern Duchy.

Of course, the ransom Narant has already thought about it, the price is equal, that is, three green elves that are more than eight years old for each noble child.

Of course, because of the success of persuading the descendants of the four nobles, including Ryan, who was first captured by Narant, Narant will not charge them any ransom as agreed, and will automatically let them go when the people from the Northern Principality arrive.

After the account of the captive was completed, Narant followed Bernard towards the capital.

Originally, as a little knight, he naturally did not have this honor.

However, Narant's exploits were too dazzling, so he was fortunate to be invited to the capital by the king himself.

Of course, when he went to the capital this time, the prisoners naturally couldn't take them with him.

Therefore, he handed over the captives to Raymond and Big Stone, and he only brought a few lucky daughters and the Knights of the Storm.

As for the safety of the team, he doesn't have to worry about it either.

Because most of the Count's army, and his father will also help him take care of the prisoners.

In this way, after Narant parted with his subordinates, he rushed all the way to the capital.

This trip to the royal capital will not last too long, and will return within a week at most.

"Narant, your meritorious deeds in this autumn war are so outstanding, what kind of rewards do you want?" On the way to the capital, Stella had already taken off her battle armor and changed into a gorgeous long dress. , reverted back to the gorgeous and holy noble lady's dress.

However, her attitude towards Narant has not changed.

At this moment, Stella was riding in the carriage, chatting with Narant through the window.

"Stella, this should be chosen by the earl, I'm afraid I can't choose it!" Narant rubbed his hands, in fact, he was looking forward to it.

"It's okay, tell me, maybe I can help you mention it in front of my father!" Stella smiled slightly

"Is that so?"

Narant thought, yes, Bernard loves Stella so much. If Stella can help him blow air in his ear, then the reward he wants will definitely increase the possibility.

Thinking of this, Narant immediately said boldly: "Stella, actually... Actually, I want a hereditary baron title!"

"Yeah! The hereditary baron is really needed, so you don't have to worry about the decline of the family in the future!" Stella nodded in agreement, thinking that Narant's idea was normal.

"Isn't it too much?" Narant looked at Stella, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

Although he has long been concerned about it, it should be no problem to improve the title with his own credit, but he is worried about what happens.

After all, if it wasn't for the Baron, then the Storm Territory could still be taken back by Bernard.

But if he was given the title of baron, the large land of Stormland would belong to him forever in Narant.

To save others by himself, facing this temptation, even Narant needs to think carefully.

This is also why the nobles like to be knighted, but the lords above the baron are stingy.

"Narant, is there any other reward you want to get?" When Narant felt that the baron title was stable, Stella spoke again.

"Do you still want a reward? Will it be too greedy?" Narant murmured in his heart.

After all, the king and the counts did not receive anything this time.

Instead, they lost a lot of equipment and manpower.

But he made a lot of money.

However, since Stella asked, he also boldly continued to say, "Actually, apart from the title, it would be great if I could get another development order!"

"My south is an endless blazing grassland. If I can get a development order, and when I am strong enough, I can take that grassland down, and then I can raise horses for pasture or reclamation and planting!"

"Stella, what do you think?" Narant said his wish.

"Well, very good!" Stella's expression was slightly unnatural, as if there was a hint of annoyance. .

However, this trace of emotion was immediately hidden by her.

"I feel good too!" Narant laughed out loud.

However, there is not much hope for this development order, because it still needs the permission of the king.

More importantly, this matter about land has never been a trivial matter, so the big nobles must not let go so easily.

Seeing Narant smirking, Stella was even more angry, so she bit her red lips and continued to ask, "Then... Narant, do you have any other rewards you want?"

"What else? Miss Stella, I'm afraid this is too greedy! It is estimated that the count will ask me to be held accountable by then!"

People should know how to be content.

puff!

At this moment, there was a sneer from the carriage, which was issued by Stella's personal maid, Lina.

"Seeing this, Stella was immediately annoyed, and pulled up the curtains and ignored Narant.

"Huh?" Narant was a little baffled, wasn't it fine just now?

How to say turn your face, turn your face!

"Women's heart, needle in the sea!" Narant sighed secretly.

At this time, an exclamation suddenly came from the front of the team. It turned out that the city wall of the royal capital had already appeared on the horizon.

Seeing this, Narant simply urged the white dragon to move forward.

"Lina, you little maid, is it because the lady hasn't disciplined you for a few days, and your courage has grown again!" After Narant left, Stella gnashed her teeth in the carriage.

"Miss, Lina knows it's wrong! However, you might as well tell Sir Narant directly and ask him to go to Lord Earl to ask for a marriage contract. If you let him guess now, he will definitely not be able to guess, after all, this is the second son's test. The first year!" Lina immediately begged for mercy.

"Hmph, how can I say that!" Stella's white face was flushed with blush.

"Miss, why don't you let Lina talk!" Lina's eyes flashed when she saw this.

If her own lady married Ser Narrant, she would be willing to do so, because she, a maid, was also dowry.

After that, I looked forward to looking at my lady.

"No, this kind of thing must be told by Narant himself, otherwise, where will my face be, miss!" Stella bit her red lips and refused, with a trace of anger at Narant on her face.

...

At the same time, in the main hall of the King's Palace of Onyx.

At this moment, the hall is empty, both the maids and the guards have been dismissed, and only the second prince, Jagger, sits alone on the throne.

His hands trembled slightly as he stroked the ice-cooled and delicate handrails of the dragon's claw, which represented supreme authority.

Although he has sat on the Iron Throne no less than three times in the past few days, each time he can ignite the desire for authority in his heart.

"If it weren't for my big brother, I hope he won't come back this time!"

dong dong dong!

"His Royal Highness, a herald has returned to report that His Majesty is about to arrive at the capital, and the team is less than ten miles away from the capital!"

"What, I came back so soon, didn't I mean I was besieged?"

"Also, why didn't you notify in advance?"

The second prince, Jagger, stood up from the throne like an electric shock, and then his eyes showed expressions of disbelief, surprise, and doubt.

Immediately, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly said to the outside: "Let the maids immediately clean the hall and His Majesty's bedroom again. His Majesty must make him feel comfortable and clean when He comes back!"

"Also, summon the nobles in the city and go out to meet me immediately!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

...

If you haven't seen Jusen City, Narant must be shocked by the grandeur of this agate king's capital.

But he immediately wrote words outside Jusen City, which also has a population of one million, so now he is only a little curious about the scenes in the city.

When the army arrived at the gate of the royal capital, the second prince, who had already received the news, had been waiting for a long time with a group of honorable nobles in the city.

When the nobles and the second prince saw King Culver's empty left shoulder, they all showed their horrified eyes, and immediately stepped forward to ask questions.

However, the king's attitude towards these two princes was a little indifferent, as if the second prince had done something that made him dissatisfied.

The returning team didn't stop at the gate of the royal capital, and went straight to the palace in the city.

Narant followed Bernard towards the palace, and was finally placed in the welcome area of ​​the palace. This is a manor with a beautiful environment, which is several times more luxurious and spacious than the manor in the Tulip Castle. .

After staying in this manor, Narant didn't have any intention of going out for a walk, because he had seen it on the way, except that there are more people in this capital, but there is not much else in it.

Especially in this royal capital, Narant didn't know a few people at all, so he started to cultivate in this royal palace with peace of mind.

At noon that day, Stella knocked on the small building where Narant lived.

"I've seen Miss Stella, Miss Stella, the lord is in the living room, my mother is still cooking food, and lunch will be opened in a while!" Little girl Shirley opened the door, and immediately after seeing Stella, she was like a family member. The situation in the building is reported.

"Well, okay, Shirley!" Stella responded to Shirley in a soft voice, then went straight to the living room, and Narant just quit her practice when she heard the movement.

"Stella, you are here!"

"Ok!"

Stella smiled slightly and sat casually across from Narant.

The arrogant and cold expression of the past has never appeared in front of Narant since Qiu Zheng.

"Narant, there is big news from the capital today!" Stella said immediately after she sat down.

"what news?"

"The king announced his marriage to the Frank family!"

"Oh?" Narant was taken aback.

"According to my father, the king exchanged a fiefdom of a viscount with the Frank family in exchange for Natasha's engagement with the eldest prince!"

When she said this, Stella's beautiful eyes stared at Narant without blinking, trying to see a little clue from Narant's expression.

However, apart from frowning, Narant didn't have any other major emotional fluctuations. Stella was a little relieved when she saw this, and her smile became even brighter.

"Did Natasha agree?" Narant naturally wouldn't have a big reaction.

Natasha is indeed beautiful, and she and Stella can be called one of the most beautiful noble ladies in the Onyx Principality. Their looks are naturally indistinguishable.

The only difference is that Stella gives the impression of being aloof and sacred, like a snow lotus that cannot be desecrated, while Natasha is charming and enchanting, like a fiery red rose.

And Narant also has self-awareness, knowing that it is impossible to make a love for others by saving them once.

Therefore, his attitude towards Natasha now is the same as that of some female stars in his previous life.

Although there was a commotion in his heart that he wanted to possess it, his reason told him that it could not belong to him, and he was unable to obtain it at present.

On the contrary, it is like Stella, he has already faintly felt a little bit of Stella's heart, so Stella is the existence that occupies more of his heart now.

"I don't know this, but I think Natasha is definitely unwilling, but now that His Majesty and the Frank family have announced the news, Natasha must be powerless to resist!" Stella shook her head and paused. He added: "Otherwise, the king and the Frank family would not be so impatient, and they will be ready to complete their wedding the day after tomorrow!"

"So soon?" Narant stuttered.

(Tauren? That's impossible, the author is not such a person!)
