"You don't need to worry. I said, put him in a small room, don't worry about anything. The two places are so far apart, and there is a baron noble family crest that I can't recognize at all. Are you afraid that he is the king?" Ethel Red's illegitimate son?
If Æthelred, who was in his early twenties, had such an old son, he would probably marry a wife when he was five or six years old. "
Æthelred - now King of Wessex.
Among the Seven Kingdoms, who has the most power, even counting the church bishops, he can be among the top three.
Æthelred also has "a younger brother" who is also very famous, and the two brothers currently rule the kingdom together.
After these government affairs have been dealt with, the afternoon is supposed to be the time for sword practice for the lord. However, in this era when injuries can hardly be effectively treated, there are two best ways to "avoid battle injuries."
One is to make yourself the strongest warrior, stronger than the Vikings.
One is that if you don't take personal risks and go to the battlefield, you won't be easily injured.
As a wise and wise lord, it is obvious to choose the latter.
Olan just needs to keep his body from getting fat.
For a "little thing" like taking risks in battle, just let your men charge.
The knights control the brave warriors, and he himself stands on top of the knights' heads and dominates everything.
The open-air training ground in Shicheng is not large, and there are blacksmith shops nearby.
The sound of soldiers training was often muffled by the sound of the stove.
Oran practices swordsmanship to strengthen this weakness and maintain it at a proper physical level so that he won't get sick easily, that's all.
The soldiers who fought with him were the personal soldiers assigned by Nanding. They would pick up Olan's sword as he stabbed with it, and would say from time to time, "My lord's sword skills are quite outstanding."
I've heard too much nonsense, Orlando said,
"Then tell me, how do I compare to King Arthur, the British hero from ancient times?"
The soldier was speechless for a moment, but then he thought, "A little person like me has no chance to see such a great king, but if you see him in your dream, my lord, you will definitely be able to pick up many swords."
As an ancient wise king and a symbol of England, King Arthur has often become a unit of measurement for nobles.
Just like the Frankish nobles would often talk about the "Charlie (Man) the Great" who founded the "Frankish Empire" a hundred years ago.
In today's Eastern Rome (Byzantium), the goal pursued by the nobles is the Roman god "Justinian the Great" who established the Code and regained the empire's lost lands.
"The imperial order is law."
"Frugality is the mother of all virtues."
“Heresy is rampant, I am here to fulfill Christ’s unfinished ambition!”
…
After practicing enough, Olan stopped to rest and watched a dozen soldiers slashing at each other with swords.
Nanding was at his side correcting their movements.
"Whoever can fight Nanding the most, I will reward him with a pound of silver coins and a maid to let him sleep for three days."
Today, Olan earned trial fees and increased rewards. As for the criticism, he is not afraid of it. Soon he will provoke a war and plunge the entire region into war.
By then, it will either be famous or infamous.
Hearing the maid sleeping with him made the soldiers more willing to train.
The maid here refers to a woman in the castle who has lost her husband and specializes in "some kind of trade" to live her life.
These maids had no chance of entering Oran's room.
Because they have the opportunity to eat the lord's food and live in a better-than-average house, these women also look better than ordinary peasant girls.
Being able to sleep with the lord's maid, even if it is an ugly girl, is an honor, and besides, these soldiers are not picky.
"Sir, if I win and want to choose..."
Among the list of soldiers who wanted to sleep, a maid with the best figure was selected. She was also the one sent by Oran to take care of Sangkun.
"let's start."
Oran sat quietly on the chair brought by the servant, watching these people wink and wink like bulls in heat, vying for inferior women.
"Wealth and women" can both make people crazy, but when the two are added together, it is magic, which can win over the hearts and even "beliefs" of most people.
The soldiers fell down and got up again, covered in mud, and some even lost their honors. The victors were like proud lions, while the losers sighed again and again.
"Soon, you will all be able to get everything you want. Be loyal to me with your lives!"
At the end of the day's competition, these words spread throughout the castle
Olan waited for another two days and finally got the good news that Kunsang had successfully snatched the man back!
The name Adisha became a topic of conversation, and a day later, Kunsang's team appeared on the walkway in front of the castle.
When Adisha entered the castle, all the residents inside and outside the city rushed out to watch as long as they were free.
This woman became the focus of Stone Castle.
As a former lord, Kunsang got a red cloak for her to wear before she came in to maintain a certain degree of elegance. Otherwise, the clothes she wore were dirty and tattered, which would really be beneath her status.
Oran didn't go out to pick her up. A woman who lost her territory might become his own goods and sell them to other nobles at a good price.
Just a piece of cargo.
…
After Adisha entered the hall and waited for a long time, Olan appeared.
Kunsang stepped forward and saluted, forcing out that ugly smile, "What you ordered has been completed."
"How many people did you rob?"
"I also looted a manor, probably..."
Kunsang said that in Baron West. A friendly exchange of all that happened in the Moorish land.
"Well done!"
Oran patted the cushions on the chair and motioned for him to come over.
After Kunsang came closer, he looked at her like a loyal dog.
"Sir, Mrs. Adisha has suffered a lot along the way. I didn't even listen to her asking me to go slower, just so that you can come back early so that you can have a long talk all night long. By the way, she still has a little scratch on her arm. You can help with some 'deep treatment', I think she will be grateful to you."
"After you go down, I will give you as much wine as you want, and take your people to have a good time. In a few days, I will send troops to attack our neighbors. You will get more in the future. I will give you the 'Knight Leader', which belongs to Your own land.
You will start your family, and I will find you a 'noble woman' in the future.
In your territory, you are the master of everything. "
Hearing this, Kunsang's expression rarely changed. He lowered his head deeply and kissed Oran's lord's ring.
This is what he wants.
The Vikings destroyed everything for him. From now on, he must live happily and smoothly!
After Kunsang went down, he drank and had fun, and even found a young man to have fun with a prostitute. The inhuman experience in the Vikings made his cruel and lustful side appear...
…
At this time, the Lord's Hall was quiet, with only Oran and Adisha looking at each other.
Adisha sat on the chair and held her red cloak tightly.
As a widow, she had seen many men, so she was not intimidated by Olan's eyes.
"Long time no see, Lord Oran. Your father was still here when we last met. I am very grateful to you for saving me. I will always remember your kindness, and..."
"Ms. Adisha, I feel that when a person thanks you, the more she says, the less she may receive in return. Of course, I am not talking about you, I just suddenly felt this way."
