The protection of all his men made Oran ignore the others. He brought his face close and whispered intimately to the trembling Malm, "In the kingdom, you are your highness, in Durham you are the female county concubine, and in my bed, you She is Olan's wife. From now on, as long as I hold your hand, in addition to the Holy Cross shining in the sky, there will also be white eagles flying, so there is no need to be afraid.
As a king and subject - you must obey me, as a lover - you must admire me, and from now on, you must respect me like a god and dedicate your life to me, do you understand?"
Oran's words made Malm feel even more scared under the white gauze, but also had a sense of shelter that a woman would like to hide in.
Oran and Ella belong to two different nobles.
Ella is strong--but ruthless.
Olan is strong - but protective of its shortcomings.
After speaking, Olan suddenly took out a small silver ring in a small gift box.
This silver ring does not have too much craftsmanship or anything. It can even be said that it just has the shape of a ring with a very small line of words engraved on it - "Love is Eternal".
Oran continued to use an elegant aristocratic accent to tell the story his father told him, confusing the woman in front of him.
"My mother is from the Franks. She left her privileged life as a court lady, declined the pursuit of nobles, and followed my father to Northumbria. When winter came, her hands were always red and stiff from the cold.
When my father's territory was seriously invaded by the Vikings and the territory was in ruins, my mother and her servants rolled up her sleeves and went to the fields to fetch water and light fires.
She sold all her accessories and had nothing on her hands. She dressed like a peasant woman and didn’t have any powder on her face for three years!
After three years of hard work, I finally helped my father raise the funds to revive the territory and collect the funds and equipment for a team of 20 people!
Afterwards, my father gathered his men, fought back to the castle, and hung his grandfather's portrait in the hall again.
This ring was a silver trophy that my father received when he went to help fight off a group of Viking bandits for the first time at the request of other nobles.
The blacksmiths were all killed by the Vikings. Finally, a blacksmith apprentice was found to make it out overnight. Because he was in a hurry, half of the words on it were accidentally blurred, leaving only 'eternity'.
Before her mother went to see the Lord, she took the ring back to her father. She said weakly on the hospital bed, "From now on, this ring will be given to the mistress of the Vijay family..."
You see, this ring is not outstanding, but it contains countless thoughts. It is the love of a father for his mother, and the love of a husband for his wife.
To me and my father, 'it' is more precious than all the wealth of the Vijay family combined.
This is my life, and now I give my life to you, wear it in my hand, and become one with you. "
Two in one!
Without waiting for permission, Oran took off Malm's white gloves and put the ring on forcefully.
When he finished and was about to leave Malm, he deliberately lowered his head and blew a breath on her earlobe to flirt with her.
Oran felt Malm's excitement, the rise and fall of his chest.
The ring experience just now was true, but Olan's feelings were not completely true.
He is not the father. If the ring is lost, he cannot replace it with the wealth of his territory.
But he knew that if he said it in a sincere and sensational tone, the woman would be moved and give up.
Everyone longs for recognition and demand, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Then Oran raised his eyebrows and said to the red-haired knights who were rushing to help him, "If you dare to pull out the broken sword in your hands, if you pull it out halfway, you will be trampled by my knights. If you pull it out completely, , the head will be inserted into his own sword."
"Then let me see it!" The red-haired man was completely irritated when he saw the ring being put on. With a swipe, the knight's sword came out of its sheath!
The fellow knights beside the red-haired man were obviously frightened by Olan's tone and did not dare to move.
By doing this, the red hair has seriously violated Oran's face and reputation. As the king, Ella will naturally have to bear some of the disrespect.
Ella was furious, but he tried to suppress it.
Olan looks calm, but wants to expand the incident!
The people around Nanding felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and the riders brought outside shouted in unison, "Protect your lord."
Then someone started to take action, whether it was the princess's men, the red-haired retinue, or the Oran soldiers outside who couldn't hold it back, but the king's men quickly intervened and ordered to stop.
Hearing the familiar shouts, Olan walked out to check under the protection of his men.
He saw the castle's first apprentice, Titan, with a painful expression and a wound on his body. Two of his soldiers were also injured.
"My lord, when someone insults you, the Titan defends your reputation with the buckler in his hand." someone said.
"Boy, you have lived up to the honor of being the 'flag bearer' this time." Kunsang gave the young man a thumbs up.
Titan smiled, even though blood was left on the ground. But Uncle Nanamp is here, Master Oran is here, and the Kunsang Knight, who is always scary and makes people have nightmares when he smiles, also praises himself. It feels so good to not be bullied and to be recognized...so good...
Oran comforted him, "Take all the injured down and go back to the camp outside to recuperate. If Titan wakes up, he will be fed until he feels like vomiting every day!"
The fire of anger overwhelms reason.
Life is so short, and Olan spends his time constantly scheming others and being plotted.
The "arrogance of the monarch" has taken shape.
Dare to come to Dan City because of three things:
He is ruthless enough, protects his shortcomings, and has many subordinates!
You have a lot of people, so what are you afraid of?
If you tolerate everything, you will destroy yourself and show this group of nobles of the kingdom. I will kill you today and even call your king a discourteous person!
Oran walked back and stepped into the church door again. His feet stepped out of the flames of war, and murderous intent enveloped the cross.
When entering, the Archbishop of Kent on the steps spoke out holy words to everyone, "Those who believe in the same faith should not fight. In the witness of God, let us lay down our weapons and reconcile together."
Olan didn't want to give up, when he walked past the red hair, about one body away.
...
...
"Today, no one can protect you, not even the 'His Majesty', I - Oran Vijay said so!"
After speaking and walking, Oran approached King Ella again.
Nanding, Kunsang, and Ulf followed Olan to avoid anyone rushing over.
He walked back to the steps where Ella and the Archbishop were standing, and glanced at his wife beside him.
Oran said loudly, "The church draws its sword, and a mere knight dares to humiliate a 'county' and a 'king's daughter'. Such evil deeds have not been seen in the five hundred years since the Great King (King Arthur) unified England. No, it’s really appalling. For the sake of fairness and justice, and for the dignity of the nobility, I agree to the competition!”
"don't want!"
Malm's eyes were full of pleading. He was afraid that Oran would be hurt. The words he just said broke her cold heart. She put the ring on but did not take it off, which meant that she had accepted this husband.
Husband and wife are one, and Olan cannot be put in danger. This is all because of herself, so she can end it by herself. She will plead with the redhead to stop.
She is willing to accompany Oran back to the territory. Even if there is nothing, she will learn from Oran's mother, lead the people, work hard to reclaim land, open up wasteland, and give birth to the blood of the Vijay family... to be a good woman, a good mother, and a good wife.
Oran seemed to understand what she was thinking. He stretched out his finger and tapped Malm's small lips to signal for silence.
