Chapter 400 Twilight of the Kingdom of Tilan
Sophia, who had a good time, was called back to have a family dinner by Abelson, but when she returned from 'home' to Fort Glamorgan, she had a tangled expression on her face.
"What's wrong?"
David looked at Sophia's embarrassed expression, as if the winter vacation ended today but he didn't do any homework, and he didn't know how to deal with the class teacher tomorrow.
Seeing David's question, Sophia hesitated to speak, stopped to speak and then wanted to, and changed her expression several times, but finally didn't say a word.
Seeing her like this, David knew it was inconvenient for him to ask.
Fortunately, there are many people around, whether it is Eva, Helen or Laura, they can ask Sophia instead of themselves.
About an hour later, David, who was drinking tea and reading a book in the office, got an answer from Laura.
"Sophia was pushed by her parents to have a baby."
"Huh?" David was stunned for a moment before he realized that Sofia was being urged to have a baby, wasn't it just a disguised form of urging himself to have a baby?
"This is also normal. Sophia and your identities are very special, especially at this point in time when you are about to inherit the throne. If Sophia can become pregnant at this time, Abelson may feel that his pressure will be much less."
No matter how many reasons he comforted himself in his heart and found for himself, it was an indisputable fact that Abelson would become the subjugated king of the Kingdom of Tilan.
If Sophia can give birth to an heir for David, then she can 'tell herself' that the Kingdom of Tiran still exists, but with a different name.
"I'm afraid I will disappoint His Majesty the King."
David spread his hands. Although he could understand the other party's thoughts, he really couldn't solve this problem by himself.
As his strength continued to improve, he became more and more aware of his physical condition, and David gradually understood why he could not successfully produce offspring.
But knowing where the problem is does not mean that he has the ability to solve it. According to the information he currently has, it is quite difficult and troublesome to create real offspring.
"Explain my situation to Sophia! Indirectly let Abelson stop thinking about it." David looked at Laura.
Although they just glanced at each other, the two of them have developed enough tacit understanding over the years that Laura immediately understood what David meant: "I'll just go and talk to Sophia...Speaking of it, do you want to tell her the truth later? "
"What do you want to do again?"
"Because Sophia's mother gave her precious daughter a good idea after hearing that you, the Duke, are gifted and powerful, and Sophia couldn't bear it at all."
Rosie learned from her daughter that it wasn't Sophia who didn't work hard, but that David was too beastly. If Sophia asked David to do those things every day, regardless of whether she could conceive a child, Sophia would probably be completely cold right now.
After careful questioning, and knowing that Sophia herself was not too weak in combat, Rosie finally understood why the Duke of Glamorgan was surrounded by several women, but these women could get along well without any conflicts breaking out.
It turns out that everyone can eat well without fighting.
After much deliberation, Queen Rosie came up with a clever plan for her daughter: Call friends and friends to attack, wait for the opportunity to grab the last blow, and strive to exchange the least consumption for the most results!
This kind of tactic is not unusual. It would be safer to use a trusted maid rather than an outsider, but presumably an ordinary maid would not be able to attract the Duke, so Sophia could only let Sophia win over other women around David.
After listening to her mother's suggestion, Sophia froze.
Deliberately refute that this method is too absurd, but can't think of a better solution.
At least my mother's suggestion sounds sound, as for being too ashamed...
Mother's sentence: "With David's quality, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, maybe it happened before you knew it." She couldn't refute.
So Sophia was in this kind of 'shall I fight it out? ’ returned to Glamorgan Castle, and told the situation to Laura, Eva and Helen who cared about him.
This is also my mother's suggestion. Anyway, everyone is not short of meat, so it's better to discuss it with those people, so Sophia directly explained the situation clearly, and she didn't even hide the idea from her mother.
"Don't say that I don't think about you, you can first... huh ~ and then tell Sophia the truth."
"..."
David looked at Laura speechlessly: You are so excited, I can hardly believe your words!
However, I have to admit, this suggestion is too attractive! Does this count as cheating on Sofia? Sigh~ It’s also a way for my family to make small jokes on each other and increase their relationship~
So from this day on, Sophia lived in David's room, and Sophia, who worked so hard every day until her stomach was bloated, didn't realize that all her work was wasted until the day Gwen came over.
Time also passed in this chaos, and when Sophia found out that the so-called revenge would only make her miserable and chose to let go of her grievances, the northern plains had already turned green.
Farmers started the new year's cultivation, and Mark Watney also began to wander around the northern plains to check the environment in various places.
The Knights of Tiran and the Winter Legion fought the elves in the Iron Tree Forest. As the battle progressed, the members of the Knights of Tiran gradually mastered the knack of fighting in the forest.
Under Cirvanas' high-pressure training, hunters who have mastered arcane energy began to appear in the Tiran Knights. Although the number is not large, this is a good start.
In addition to the new equipment that has been officially named as the North Wind Light Armor and the North Wind Heavy Locomotive, the Tiran Knights have begun to gradually penetrate into the Iron Tree Forest, and the battle situation has shifted from the initial 'stalemate' stage to the counterattack stage.
The number of paladins who have learned the holy light in the Winter Knights has exceeded half of the whole group.
Everything is going in a good direction. What surprised David the most was the envoy sent by the lord of Iron Tree Fort, Marquis Dudley Morgan. His Majesty Morgan swore an oath of allegiance.
At this time, there is still half a year before the autumn deadline, and Dudley Marquis Morgan seems a little impatient?
But as time entered the summer, more and more envoys from all over the Kingdom of Tilan came to the northern plains, and David discovered that Dudley-Marquis Morgan was not too long ago.
"Strange, are all the lords of the Kingdom of Tilan so aware of current affairs?"
Although these envoys from all over the world did not directly represent their own lords, they directly expressed their willingness to be loyal to David, but the meaning of flattery was still very obvious.
When David officially succeeded to the throne and began to take over the various territories, these lords will most likely not make any resistance when facing the army of Winter City.
“Speculators are not uncommon in any era.”
Sutton Stewart didn't find it unusual, because he saw through the situation of these people at a glance.
As a nobleman with high status and status in the Kingdom of Tilan, and the younger brother of the queen, Earl Sutton-Stewart is very suitable to be an envoy.
He was in charge of sending the announcement to the whole territory of Tilan Kingdom.
Sarton knew enough about the situation of the lords in the Kingdom of Tilan, and saw through that the envoys who came to the northern plain were sent by some weak and barren lords.
Among them, there are even down-and-out lords who lost their territory in a previous battle with their neighbors, and want to ask the new king to uphold justice.
Those lords with vast and rich territories, sufficient troops, or simply rebelled, did not personally or send envoys to Cold Winter City.
Even some lords of average strength but relatively far away did not take David, the Duke of Glamorgan who was about to inherit the throne, seriously.
To put it simply, even if all the envoys or lords who have come here swear allegiance to David, their territories are just a bunch of spots on the map. Not only are they of no practical value, but the map will also become very ugly.
"The only lord who is of great value to the upcoming Winter Kingdom is the Marquess of Dudley-Morgan of Iron Tree Castle."
The most important lords during the Kingdom of Tilan were the Marquis Dudley-Morgan, Marquis Prior-Otto, and Marquis Ingram-Fober who were in charge of guarding the border.
These three marquises sit in Iron Tree Castle in the north, White Rock City in the south, and Dragon Castle in the east.
As for the due west of the Tilan Kingdom, because there are no strong enemies and it is adjacent to the barren Lost Land, the land itself is not considered rich, so several earls and lords sit in town.
In addition, the few earls and lords around the capital are more important-these earls also did not send envoys to the northern plains.
White Rock City in the south has been captured by the Temple.
The Marquess of Dudley Morgan of Iron Tree Castle in the North has made it clear that he will pledge allegiance to himself.
On the other hand, the Marquis Faubert, who sits in the east, has never made a statement. I don’t know what he thinks?
When Sutton-Stewart delivered the letter, he didn't even see the Marquis. It is said that he went to quell the rebellion in the surrounding area.
"This Marquis of Furber, the rebellion he most wants to quell is me, right?"
Sutton smiled and said nothing. Although he often feels unreliable, he knows when to joke and when to be silent.
He can live to this day not only because of his birth and blood relatives.
Of course, for the sake of Sophia, it would be great if I let myself rest for a while.
It's a pity that it's impossible. Although he is called the deputy head of the Tiran Knights, and the actual commander, all members of the Tiran Knights who are currently in training must listen to Sylvanas. Sutton- Earl Stewart is no exception.
Next, he will return to the barracks for training.
Sutton is not going to be lazy, because the day when Winter City launches a counterattack against the Temple is getting closer, and he will be the first to rush into White Rock City.
