Chapter 110 The first person to defect
After coughing twice, David closed the gift box again with a normal expression. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Sharron was still staring at the gift box, so he pushed it over: "You seem to like it very much. Sending you a treat." gone."
Sharon put it away happily, not being polite to David at all.
As a girl who loves cleanliness, after doing a lot of exercise every day, she hopes to take a good bath. This kind of orb is very suitable for her needs.
Meanwhile, that vibrating orb is great for relieving muscular problems after a heavy workout.
"Have you received any gifts?"
"It's all jewelry and sabers and things like that, and those things are still piled up at Earl Stewart's house." David paused, and seeing that Elias hadn't left, he asked by the way: "Hire someone to help." It shouldn't be difficult to transport these things, right?"
"It's not difficult. There are many people who take this kind of transportation." Elias asked by the way: "Do you need to buy a carriage for the Baron and Ms. Rogers?"
Elias already knew that Sharon's surname was Rogers, and with Sharon's appearance and temperament, it didn't look like she was from a commoner family. Down and out.
However, this Miss Rogers is expected to change her future, and it seems that this should become the Baroness of Glamorgan.
Actually, it is not surprising that Earl Stewart misunderstood the relationship between David and Sharon.
David ran to the capital from the remotest part of the Kingdom of Tilan, hoping that he could cross that threshold and join the noble class. In this case, he was accompanied by a beautiful young girl, and anyone would compare the two of them. Relationship misunderstanding.
If it was not related to her own interests, why did this Sharon accompany David so far to the capital? Still want to make sure your future is bright?
Earl Stewart thinks so, and now Elias thinks so too, including the pharmacist Cordell who came to report the next day, and the personal guard knight Gareth Stanton also thinks so.
They never imagined that David brought Sharon because she was good at fighting!
It's just that these people have seen all kinds of things in the capital, and they're not dumb people who don't understand anything. They won't make their own claims until the baron really introduces "this is the baroness". Calling her indiscriminately, just maintaining due respect, and calling Ms. Rogers is over.
In the next two days, Elias successfully completed various procedures, and David can leave at any time as long as he wants to.
It's just a slight delay on Gareth Stanton's side.
It’s not that at least ten excellent soldiers cannot be recruited, but that Gareth Stanton, the personal guard knight, is rushing to consider the factors considered by the Lord Baron Glamorgan, and choose young, outstanding, and elites without families as much as possible, and Rejected Earl Stewart's suggestion to help.
This made David a little surprised. This Gareth Stanton, who became his personal guard knight because of His Majesty's order, is still very dedicated to his duty!
In addition, the ten guard cavalry sent by the king have already greeted David. These ten guard cavalry will protect Baron David-Glamorgan until they safely arrive at the territory of Cold Winter Town.
The ten kingdom cavalry guards are already quite a force, but the real deterrent is their formation and the exclusive armor that symbolizes the royal family of King Tilan.
These ten cavalry guards actually showed an attitude: Baron Glamorgan is directly loyal to His Majesty the King.
Those nobles who have bad ideas, it is best to put those thoughts away honestly.
In addition, Earl Stewart directly arranged a carriage and guards to help David transport those gifts, and discussed with David that after the team arrived in Cold Winter Town, it would be good to decorate the special potatoes of Cold Winter Town as a reward, no extra Pay for shipping.
"The drawings you gave me called high heels and maid outfits are the best reward." At the end, he reminded David: "By the way, have you seen the drawings I drew by myself?"
"Illustration?"
"It's in the box! I think you can think of it even without any prompts, because I can feel that we are the same kind of people!"
"..."
David, who understood immediately when he saw the gift, was a little flustered. Could it be that, as Earl Stewart said, he was actually the same kind as him?
But after we parted this time, there shouldn't be many chances to see each other in the future, right?
Three days later, Gareth Stanton finally selected ten elite soldiers. These ten soldiers will be led by Gareth Stanton himself, and they will serve as Baron Glamorgan's personal guards to protect the Baron and the Baron. Return to Cold Winter Town together with the property.
The team of more than 30 people was ready to go. After Elias confirmed again that Lord Baron Glamorgan did not plan to continue recruiting more people, he began to notify everyone to set off.
Just then, an unexpected visitor came to visit Lord Glamorgan.
David, who had already made preparations and even returned the room, saw this visitor in the lobby of the hotel. It turned out to be Flo, the Knight of the Tilan Knights who was defeated by him when countless nobles gathered in the capital of Tilan. Ed.
"Yes, Lord Baron." Floyd was wearing the standard armor of the Tiran Knights, without a helmet, and the hair on his head was meticulously arranged, but he could still see a little haggard upon closer inspection.
"Do you need something from me?"
"Yes, Lord Baron." Floyd paused, as if thinking about words in his mind: "I want to swear allegiance to Your Excellency."
One sentence clarified his purpose of coming, and at the same time attracted the attention of everyone around him.
There are currently no people in the hotel lobby, and most of them are people who want to follow David to Cold Winter Town.
Including the etiquette officer Elias, the pharmacist Cordell, the guard knight Gareth Stanton and the four guard soldiers, as well as Sharon and Newton. Other than that were the innkeeper, the waiter, and two people who were talking to the innkeeper.
Now everyone is silent, including the Royal Cavalry Guard who just walked in and was about to notify David that he can leave, they kept looking at Floyd.
"You want to pledge your allegiance to me?"
"Yes." Floyd answered simply and neatly, completely ignoring the scrutiny, curiosity, and wonder that kept shooting at him from around, 'Is this person out of his mind? ’ Wait for the eyes.
"Why?" David immediately added: "I am very clear about my situation. I can't even recruit the most third-rate mages and ordinary knights. As the teaching knight of the Tilan Knights, you have no reason to join me. A small country nobleman?"
David's question is also a question of everyone present. Everyone present kept their mouths tightly shut, wanting to know what the **** is going on with the teaching knight of the Tiran Knights?
"I am no longer the teaching knight of the Knights of Tiran." Floyd tried his best to control his expression, but still showed a little bit of bitterness.
"Oh~"
Only David made a sound, but Floyd seemed to hear everyone here "oh~".
"Have you left the Tiran Knights?"
"No, but I am no longer going to stay in the Knights."
David looked at Floyd, finally looked at the expressions of the people around him, and made a decision: "I accept your allegiance."
He didn't know why Freud chose to leave the Tiran Knights to join him under his command based on what considerations; he also didn't bother to investigate what trouble this Freud encountered in the Knights.
There is only one reason why David decided to accept Floyd's service: this is the first person who, in the true sense, voluntarily chooses to join him.
No matter what troubles he has encountered now, the identity of the Knights of Tilan is there. David has no reason to push this talent out, especially when there are so many spectators present.
Spreading his hands slightly, Elias took out the saber that was originally in the box when David spoke, and then handed the hilt to David's hand.
David took advantage of the opportunity to hold the magnificent saber presented by Stuart, and pulled out the long sword. With the melodious sound of the sword, Freud knelt down in front of David on one knee.
He lowered his head, resting his hands on the knees in front of him, facing Baron David Glamorgan to whom he would be loyal, and then recited the oath of allegiance in a loud and clear voice.
"I swear in the name of Floyd, a knight of the Knights of the Kingdom of Tiran, that from today onwards, I will use my sword and shield to expel all enemies that stand in front of Lord David Glamorgan... (omitted)...Here, I dedicate My loyalty!"
The people behind David avoided to the sides in a very timely manner, and watched quietly. After Freud finished his oath, David put the back of his long sword on Freud's shoulders on both sides. .
"I, the baronial lord of Coldwinter Town in the Kingdom of Tilan, David Glamorgan, accept the allegiance of the knight Floyd."
The ceremony is simple and uncomplicated, but for Freud, it means that his life will go in another unknown direction from now on.
After David signaled that he could get up, Floyd secretly let out a sigh of relief.
No matter how much entanglement and hesitation he had before, he has already taken this step, and he hopes that his choice is not wrong!
He raised his head slightly, wanting to look at his future lord, but collided with David's eyes.
David looked at the flustered Floyd and said softly: "You made the most correct choice."
The voice was very small, but the quiet environment made David's words clearly heard by everyone. The innkeeper, the two people who were talking to him, and the cavalry guards standing at the door all showed disapproving expressions. It was obvious that they didn't agree with David's words in their hearts.
"Take care of your own affairs, and then catch up with the team after finishing."
Instructed Freud to deal with the follow-up matters of the Knights, David led the people out of the hotel, stepped on his horse, and officially embarked on the journey back.
