The corners of Lemoste's mouth curled up slightly.
He couldn't control the throbbing in his heart.
Riding a horse, humming a tune, with a confident expression on his face that he is determined to win.
"My lord, you seem to be in a very happy mood!"
The attendant used a flattering tone to please him.
"Of course, Armaan!"
Lemoste laughed and waved the riding crop in his hand.
"I am about to merge into the noble royal bloodline of the Bradley family. This is such a significant thing."
A longing expression appeared on his face.
"As long as I can marry Princess Catherine, my chances of becoming the heir of the Bradley family will greatly increase. No! That position must be for me. If I give birth to a descendant of royal blood, I will What qualifications does that so-called brother have to compare with me?”
Because he is surrounded by his cronies, Lemoste now has no scruples.
The attendant just smiled. He had always known about his master's ambition.
Lemoste is not willing to submit to his eldest brother, but wants to seize the highest power in the family.
But unfortunately, because he is the second son, the power he controls is far inferior to that of his brother who is ten years older than him.
His father, Archduke Bradley, has always been eager to marry into the royal family. If he has a descendant with Rodney blood, the legitimacy of the Bradley family to break away from the earth and become king will undoubtedly be much higher. ——Although this kind of behavior is still a kind of rebellion in normal times, any careerist can see that these are abnormal times.
Unfortunately, this wish has never been realized.
Having no descendants of royal blood cannot stop the growth of Archduke Bradley's ambition. He is still determined to use the power of the orcs to rebel.
What surprised him was that Princess Catherine actually led the troops to the land of loess in person.
What a God-given opportunity, could it be that the Lord of Light is finally going to realize his wish for the sake of his many years of piety?
When the Archduke captured Catherine and handed her over to Lemoste, the second son of the family was simply ecstatic.
His father promised that if successful, the princess would be betrothed to him.
Will the dream you have had since childhood finally come true?
Lemoste is glad that he has some moderation in his daily life.
He knew very well that the reason why this great luck fell on him was because his brother had broken his body due to overindulgence when he was young.
Unfortunately, my brother already has an heir, and his physical condition does not prevent him from inheriting his father's position.
So I did a better job and gained a higher status in my father's heart.
Of course, the father's sons are not the only ones. He also has a younger brother, but he is just a little kid.
With miscellaneous thoughts, Lemoste led the convoy to the small town of Maun again.
A heavy carriage drove toward the town, and the supplies inside were all real.
This is a fringe area after all, and Lemost's idea is to let the princess's army continue to penetrate deep into the loess land before taking action.
At the entrance of the town, he saw a figure.
A knight, and also a heroic female knight.
Her smooth black hair flutters in the wind, exuding a wild beauty. Her fair face is embedded with a pair of black eyes as deep as the sea, revealing perseverance and determination.
Lemoste recognized her, Countess Aufina, Princess Catherine's best friend and close assistant.
“Thank you for your hard work, Sir!”
The magnetic voice of the female knight made Lemoste dream about it.
After you succeed, what should you do with her?
Perhaps I should give a reward to an important subordinate to win people's hearts? An aristocratic woman from the royal capital has great appeal to the "country bumpkins" from outside.
Oh, no no no!
Lemoste looked at Ofina's graceful figure and changed his mind.
She is also a beautiful and elegant woman, how could she be left to those rude guys?
Maybe he should keep it as a side room. Catherine shouldn't mind. After all, they are good friends.
Lemoste still maintained a respectful look on the surface, and pointed lightly with his riding crop at the convoy entering the town.
"This is the supply I gave to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please check it."
With a smile on her face, Ofina ignored Lemoste's gaze that looked her up and down, and stretched out her hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"There is no rush to check. Your Highness has already hosted a banquet. Everyone hopes to have lunch with you."
"Your Highness the Princess is really too polite. This is my greatest honor. It's an honor."
Lemoste pretended to be extremely honored.
“Please follow me!”
Aofina smiled, clamped the horse's belly with her legs, and the horse raised its hooves, slowly walking towards the town.
Lemoste and his attendants followed.
The streets of the town were very quiet. Ofina explained: "Because the princess is here, we let the common people avoid it!"
"The rules of the nobles in the royal capital are really real. "More!" Lemoste thought to himself, "Maybe when I become the king, I should have such dignity! There should be a distance between the upper class and the lower class."
Gradually. On the ground, a group of people and the convoy arrived at the center of the town, where public buildings such as churches and town offices were located.
"Thump thump thump!"
The sound of intensive horse hooves suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, countless people wearing armor and holding weapons poured out of the alleys in all directions.
Something is wrong!
Seeing this posture, Lemoste's head buzzed and he froze on the spot.
Ofina took advantage of Lemoste's brief absence and the panic of his men, and patted Mahara and stayed away from them.
"What does this mean? Your Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness!"
Lemoste finally came to his senses and shouted loudly.
Clang!
The servants of the Bradley family drew their swords one after another, trapping Lemoste in the middle.
"Catherine! Catherine!"
Lemoste called out the princess's name directly.
"Hmph! Lemoste, do you still have the nerve to bark here?"
The eldest princess of the Kingdom of Aldo had a cold face and came to the other side surrounded by many generals. as far as the eye can see.
The princess seemed too lazy to talk, but her subordinates couldn't help but spray.
Although Lemoste had already guessed eighty-nine percent of the reason in his heart, he still kept insisting.
"Why is this? Your Royal Highness, I need an explanation!"
Katherine's golden eyebrows frowned tightly, and finally said:
"You Do you think you have done a perfect job? Who would have thought that the Bradley family has become a shameful traitor and even colluded with the orcs?"
She almost said the second part through gritted teeth, which shows her. The hatred in my heart.
