"Alfred, Flamel. Bob, Nachvelt. I am very touched and delighted by your outstanding combat ability and determined chivalry." Countess Orinna suddenly put on a very formal and solemn look. This gesture made Baron Hank on one side feel extremely uncomfortable at once. Just to hear Orinna open her mouth and say, "Two noble knights, are you willing to protect my side and become a member of the Order of the Aries Knights?"
The baron's face suddenly changed dramatically! Just as he was about to roar to stop this farce, the doppelganger on one knee took a keen look at the baron and said, preemptively, "I, Alfred, Flamel am willing to bless my lord and protect her side and become a part of the Order!" The Baron's words were swallowed back as he looked incredulously at the smiling doppelganger and muttered with an expression of utter disappointment, "Alfred, you." The doppelganger poked Bob behind him unnoticeably. The latter immediately woke up and followed and agreed: "I, Bob, Nachvelt. Willing to be a part of the Aries Knights."
"You two..." There was already anger on the Baron's face. These two guys had sworn that they were already irrevocable. Compared to which Dredd is nothing? This is a naked betrayal! Count Orinna, however, was very happy, especially seeing Baron Hank's look of daring to speak out in anger. Looking down, she saw the doppelganger kneeling on one knee in front of her, with the soft red hair and the rigid face. Suddenly she saw him raise his head and his eyes straightened to meet her own!
For a moment, this battle-tested countess, surprisingly shyly turned her head away. Pretending to be calm, she took the ceremonial longsword from the table and drew it, and a smile appeared on that fierce face. Longsword point on the shoulder of the doppelganger three times. Suddenly said solemnly:"Now, in the name of Orinna, the first-class Countess of the Principality of Kasmi, the head of the Aries Knights, and the heir of the White Orchid Clan, I bestow on you the fourth captain of the Aries Knights, Sindep Baronship!"
"I protest!" As soon as the exasperated Baron Hank heard that he had even enthroned his doppelganger as a baron, he immediately couldn't bear the anger to voice out his protest. But Countess Orinna immediately interrupted the baron's protest with a wave of her hand and stated with a lofty look, "I am an Countess, and I am also the head of the Order of the Aries Knights! It is my right to ennoble a baron, and even the Grand Duke himself cannot stop it!"
After finishing speaking, she glared at the baron who had nothing to say, put the ceremonial sword back in her hand and said, "Alfred, don't take offense. Now it is war time is so simple. When the war is over, a real ceremony will be held in my castle. By then many nobles will have returned to observe the ceremony." The doppelganger immediately bent, suddenly once again one knee on the ground to kiss the count's rough hand back. It made Orinna blush. But heard the doppelganger say: "Lord Count, your beauty enchants me. Unlike those vulgar noblewomen. You are a rose that blooms on the battlefield. The sharp thorns make me afraid to touch you! Oh, praise Enos, you are so beautiful!"
When the baron on the side heard these words, he was so frightened that he opened his mouth and couldn't react. But the Countess's performance later made him feel that he had misjudged Alfred. He saw that the countess, known for her sternness and coldness, was miraculously blushing at this moment. She couldn't even speak in a row: "Ah...uh, please, please get up."
The doppelganger stood up as instructed, and the flickering love in his eyes made the count immediately tremble, and the blush on her face deepened. Associated with those myths and biographies, the heroic knight adored the mistress, the romantic feelings. At once, Orinna's heart and liver fluttered and jumped up and down. Because compared to those noblewomen who spend all day with men, Orinna never had this experience. Don't believe it? Just look at her fierce face. But for the sake of the future, and the value of this doppelganger. Even if it is an old sow, Paladin can only endure.
And at this time, the eyes of the five squires behind that are not all unbearable excitement! The Knights of the Aries! One of the three most powerful knightly orders in the Principality. Now Alfred has become one of the captains of the Order, and even got the status of a baron, so as long as you follow this nobleman, it may not be long before they can realize their dream and become a knight! So they didn't hear a word of the conversation between the doppelganger and the count. Completely silent in the beautiful fantasy of the future.
And Bob, who stood up, although at the moment there was a smile on his face, but if you look closely, the smile is very forced. Yes, Alfred saved him and saved the team. It was also by his bravery that he was able to enter the Order of the Aries Knights. But vaguely, a voice in his heart told him: "You are a knight, he is also a knight. Now he has become a baron, and you have become a knight who takes orders from him! Is it fair? Is it fair? Are you willing!"
Yes, Bob's steel teeth were clenched and he was uncomfortable. Thinking he hadn't been paid what he deserved. Perhaps that baronetcy should have been his! Count Orinna shouldn't like such a thin-skinned little white boy. He himself is the knight who really does great things and can do his duty! At this moment, Bob's eyes narrowed slightly, and a beast called jealousy raged in his chest, tearing his heart and liver, eating his soul.
But at that moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and a priest in a gorgeous robe came in sharply, calling out nervously under his breath, "Brother, brother how are you!" The crowd subconsciously raised their eyes to look, but saw a young priest with black, somewhat disheveled hair rushing in. As soon as he saw Alfred, who was kneeling on one knee, he immediately squatted down with great tension. This person is Paladin who came through the bilocation. "You, how come you came in! Get out!" The two guards outside the door immediately trailed in, under the sight of the countess, forehead immediately emerged cold sweat. He was clearly guarding the door, but just felt a flash before his eyes, this priest went in. The count should not blame him.
Slightly dissatisfied Count Orinna glanced at Paladin, and then glanced at the doppelganger and said, "Baron Sindep, this is your brother?" The doppelganger bent down to the Count with an apologetic face: "Lord Count forgive him. This is my brother, Paladin, Flamel. Now he is the auxiliary bishop of the Church." After saying this, he looked at the body of the Paladin and chided: "Brother, this is the Count's tent, shouldn't you be in Count Torch's camp? Why did you run in?"
"I heard that something happened to you." Paladin said so with a tense face, and looked up and down the blackened blood on the doppelganger's armor. Tears were immediately rolling in his eyes: "Look at the blood all over your body! You said it's okay!"
After all, ignoring the baron and count who were present at the moment, he took off the shoulder armor of the doppelganger's shoulder, revealing a big hole. Although the blood has dried up and the wounds are scarred. But he thought there must be a big problem with the operation of the arm. Paladin was pursing his mouth, like a very innocent younger brother who only worried about his elder brother's injury, gently stroking his hand on the wound. Immediately, a very soft golden light flickered in the palm of his hand. In just a few seconds, Paladin took the palm as if nothing had happened, and the wound on the shoulder disappeared completely like a dream! It's just that the blood on the side of the armor proves that this is not a fantasy, but a real superb healing technique!
