Come to another world and become a lord

The night breeze blew gently, the flags outside the tent fluttered in the wind, and the neighing of war horses could be heard faintly. The dim lights swayed in the tent, and the animal skin decorations on the wall rose and fell like shadows. Akitila leaned on the couch covered with thick blankets, his face pale, but still exuding a sense of majesty. He slowly raised one hand, his voice weak but unquestionable.

"You all go out, I want to talk to my daughter alone."

His eyes swept across everyone present, and even though he looked weak due to illness, his eyes still carried an oppressive force that brooked no disobedience.

"Yes, Great Khan." Hassan bowed his head first, saluted, turned around and walked out, his steps briskly and without hesitation.

Talbat frowned and looked at Akitila with complicated eyes. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but finally chose to remain silent, lowered his head slightly, and slowly walked out.

As the curtains were gently lowered, the room returned to silence, leaving only Akitila and Noura. The light from the oil lamp reflected on the tips of Noura's snow-white hair, swaying as she approached.

"Daddy, why did it turn out like this?" Nura knelt beside the bed, looked up at Akitila, her voice filled with suppressed anxiety and worry.

Akitila smiled bitterly and waved his hand, as if trying to shake off some unnecessary emotions. He raised his hand and gently patted Noura's shoulder, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone:

"I was careless. It's true that old people are useless."

Noura's brows furrowed even deeper, and anger welled up in her eyes:

"Was it Talbot?"

Akitila shook her head gently, her eyes calm but with a hint of fatigue:

"Don't think too much, it's my own problem."

"But his men stopped me and wouldn't let me in!" Nura gritted her teeth, a hint of accusation in her voice, and her hand subconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword.

Akitila raised her weak hand and waved it, her tone more soothing:

"It's understandable that they are dissatisfied with the Great Wall, but you have to remember that they are all members of the tribe, and I don't want any rifts to arise within the tribe."

"Daddy has good intentions, but they may not appreciate it!"

Akitila just shook his head and then smiled:

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. Go find Karl right now."

"But Dad, you need to rest now..." Nura looked at her father hesitantly, looking at his weak face.

But Akitila put on an unquestionable look:

"This injury is not a big deal. This is a serious matter. Go immediately."

Noura still stood there, her eyes full of hesitation. Akitila sighed and softened her tone:

"Don't worry, Hassan is here, I'll be fine."

Noura was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and stood up, with mixed emotions in her eyes. She looked deeply at Akitila, then turned around, opened the curtain, and strode away.

The night wind blew in her face, blowing the girl's long white hair. She galloped on her horse, crossed a hillside, and then saw the construction camp not far away. The lights flickered sporadically, but no work was done. There seemed to be guards around. Looking at all this, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and the ice sword hung on her waist, making a slight clash sound with her footsteps. She took a deep breath, spurred her horse again, and galloped to the edge of the camp.

The lights around the construction site were bright and noisy. The soldiers seemed to have just started preparing dinner. As Noura approached, the noisy sound gradually became sparse, until it disappeared completely. The soldiers stopped what they were doing, lowered their heads and gave way. No one dared to stop her.

The sound of Nura's horse's hooves was particularly clear on the flat ground. She came straight to Carl's tent, dismounted, and walked in directly. Carl was not seen in the tent. Instead, Solgar was sitting around the table with several subordinates, discussing something. Seeing Nura's intrusion, the discussion stopped abruptly, and Solgar's face was full of surprise:

"Your Highness, why are you here..."

"I should be the one asking you this question. This is Karl's tent. Why are you here? Where is Karl?" Nura's voice was full of majesty.

Sogar was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. In the end, he could only say:

"Your Highness, this matter is very complicated. I am here on the orders of the Great Khan..."

"The order of the Great Khan? I just came back from my father, and it was my father who asked me to come to Karl. Which order of the Great Khan did you hear?"

"Me?" Sogar wanted to say more, but he saw that Nura had already drawn the Ice Sword and pressed it against his chest. The blade glowed coldly blue under the light.

Sogar was stunned for a moment, his lips trembling slightly, his eyes dodging in panic, and he didn't know how to answer. Finally, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Princess, this matter is very complicated... I came here on the order of the Great Khan..."

Nura's eyes were stern, and her tone was cold: "The order of the Great Khan? I just came back from my father, and my father personally asked me to come to Karl. You heard, which 'order of the Great Khan' is this?"

Sogar's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out. After a moment, he was about to explain, but suddenly he saw a flash of cold light, and the ice sword had been unsheathed, and the sharp tip of the sword was against his chest.

"Sogar," Noura looked down at him, her voice as cold as ice, "Are you planning a rebellion?"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Sogar's forehead. He waved his hands repeatedly, his eyes filled with fear: "I don't mean that! Princess, please understand! This is definitely not what I meant!"

"Very good." Noura narrowed her eyes and pushed the sword forward slightly. "I'll ask again, where is Karl?"

Sogar swallowed his saliva and said in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "He...he is in the wooden cage..."

"Wooden cage?" Nura's pupils shrank slightly, and her tone became colder. "He is a distinguished guest invited by my father himself. How dare you treat him like this?"

“This…this…” Sogar’s eyes were filled with struggle. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “This was Talbat’s idea, not mine…”

"Enough!" Nura sheathed his sword, snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the tent. The ice sword at his waist made a crisp clash sound, "Take me to find him."

Under the light, Noura stood in front of the wooden cage, her eyes looking through the bars, fixed on the figure trapped in the cage. Karl leaned against the corner of the wooden cage, his hands tied behind his back with thick hemp ropes, his head slightly lowered, but his expression was as calm as ever, even with a hint of composure.

"Karl!" Noura shouted, her tone revealing undisguised worry.

Karl raised his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: "Nura... I heard that the Great Khan was injured, how is he now?"

Noura stared at him for a moment, and was relieved to see that he was fine. She walked up quickly and whispered:

"Daddy is awake, he wants to see you."

Karl nodded gently, with a hint of comfort in his eyes:

"Really? I understand."

Noura frowned and looked at him:

"Are you OK?"

Karl shook his head, his voice still calm:

"Don't worry, this little thing can't hurt me."

Then he saw Nura draw his sword and slash at the wooden cage that imprisoned him. As the cage shattered, he regained his freedom. Then two soldiers came up and untied him.

Karl rubbed his wrist, stood up calmly, looked at Noura, and said in a relaxed tone: "Let's go, don't keep the Khan waiting for too long."

Noura looked at him deeply and nodded. Just as they were about to leave, they heard Gorwin in another wooden cage behind them shouting:

"I told you two not to forget about me!"

Then Noura looked at Sogar with extremely cold eyes.

The latter swallowed his saliva and then shouted:

"Release them all!"

In the Great Khan's tent, Akitila was half leaning on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was lost in thought. Hearing the footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Karl, and a relieved smile appeared on his face:

"Karl, you're here."

"Great Khan." Carl stepped forward and bowed his head.

Akitila nodded weakly and asked again:

"How is the construction of the Great Wall going?"

"There are some obstacles regarding the Great Wall, but it's not a big problem," Carl replied.

Akitila nodded, a look of satisfaction appeared on his weak face, and then he said, "That's good. No one will make things difficult for you during this period."

Karl was about to answer, but heard Noura speak first:

"Sogar has detained Carl and the entire construction team."

"Ah~ Sogar?" Akitila nodded thoughtfully, "Sure enough, they just don't want to be honest."

"It's just a misunderstanding. It's been resolved. It's no problem." Carl replied calmly.

But I heard Ajiti come and say:

"After all, it is the tribe that owes you. Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you."

Then he thought for a moment and said slowly:

"How about this, my daughter will marry you as compensation?"
