The Little Duke: Chapter 1 Finding faults at the dinner party (two chapters published together)

The hot water slowly flowed down the round shoulders, and the girl behind her back poured the basin full of warm water onto the girl's back carefully, so that the hot water could flow along the girl's snow-white snow without a trace of blemish. The back slowly slid down.

"Miss, will it be more comfortable now?"

"Well, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. I can use the hot water in the bath myself. You have worked hard along the way, so don't serve me anymore."

My young lady still cares about me, but as she grows up, I can no longer help her, so I can only provide her with some convenience in life.

He poured warm water on the girl's back again, "Miss, this is what I should do. You suffered from motion sickness along the way, and you were commanding battles. It is also my duty to help you relieve your fatigue."

The water was very comfortable, and Fuya's moderate force on her back with her fingers made her feel even more comfortable.Let her close her eyes slightly and make a sound that she will be banned if she writes it out.

"Miss, don't fall asleep, you'll catch a cold."

"Well, who made it so comfortable." Shirley, who was hugged by Fuya, soon came to her room. The luxurious princess bed is so soft that people just lie on it and feel like they want to sleep. .

"Hmm, it smells like sunshine. It seems that the king still used refreshments. It must be very comfortable to sleep here."

"You rest first, I'll go outside and help you do something..."

"The bed is quite big. Let's rest together. I've been very tired these days. I'll take a vacation for myself today, and I'll have dinner later."

She knew that she was going to attend King Stendahl's dinner, but what did it have to do with resting with the young lady? However, looking at the luxurious bed and the slender hand that was as white as jade, she knew She knew it was presumptuous to do so, but she still wanted to get over it.

"Miss, I have other things to do, and I will wake you up later, please allow me to leave first."

Blinking and blinking, my invitation was rejected this time?Obviously this bed is big, and it is very comfortable to lie on.Her little face rubbed against the pillow, and the smell of the sun made her feel very comfortable.

The time passed quickly, and Shirley felt that she hadn't slept for a long time, but the sun outside had already set in the west, and the night hung over the entire sky as it set in the west, dyeing the earth with a dark color.

She was wearing the white dress that Fuya specially prepared for her, but it was different from the backless dress she thought, after all, she didn't need to wear such clothes at her age.Taking the carriage, we soon came to the castle of King Stendhal, which was even more luxurious than the emperor's palace in the imperial capital.

The two huge statues of unknown animals on the outside of the castle are plated with a layer of gold, and inside the castle, there are many decorations made of gold, silver and other precious metals.

"Aha, Duke Shirley, your arrival has made Delinburg shine. The Duke is here, why didn't you tell me, instead let the Duke come in by himself."

The front is to Xueli, and the back is to reprimand the maid who led Xueli in.Seeing that the maid was trembling after being reprimanded by King Stendahl, Shirley patted her on the back lightly.

"I asked her to bring me in. The host of this kind of dinner must be very busy, so I just wanted not to disturb you. It's just me and Fuya anyway."

"Hey, that's a long way to go. Here, you are our most respected guest."

Even though he said that, he didn't punish the maid any further. After all, Xue Li pleaded for mercy in person, so he wouldn't continue to pursue it in front of Xue Li.

Leading Shirley into the banquet hall, this kind of banquet is completely different from the kind of banquet Shirley knows. Before at the royal family, the dinner was just a simple meal, but it is different here. It is not so much a dinner. Say it's a prom.

"The Duke..."

"Your Majesty, you can call me Shirley. It's always strange to call me the Duke."

Shirley's words made Stendahl slightly taken aback, and then he smiled and said, "Since Duke Shirley said so, then I will call you by your name directly. Don't you like the jewelry I gave you?"

Before, he gave the duke a lot of jewelry, which were all made of gold and silver, and all of them were made by the best jewelers in their kingdom, but he didn't expect that she didn't wear any of them.

"Your Majesty was joking. I like jewelry very much, but if I wear those jewelry, I don't think I can even lift my head. It's too heavy."

I have to say that this place is really willing to give gold, gold crown, gold necklace, tiara, earrings and other jewelry, she doesn't like these very much.But according to etiquette, she should wear one or two to show her preference.

But she really doesn't want earrings. After all, she is young and doesn't have pierced ears. Of course, she doesn't want to have her ears pierced. There is a rhetoric pushed out.

Of course, some people may say, I'm good, so I don't have to wear it, and if you don't accept it, I will hit you, emmmmm, although she is good, it's understandable why you don't hit the smiling face, and the other party is also within the scope of etiquette.You can't be given gold and silver by others, and then you not only don't wear it, but you have to beat someone up.

"That's why I didn't think carefully."

While talking, several people had already entered the hall, and the originally noisy hall was quiet for a moment with Xue Li's entry, and then some noble children couldn't help but blink their eyes.

The plain dress, the snow-like long hair draped over the back of the girl like a waterfall, her wonderful eyes looking forward, flowing with pity.Although she is still a little young, she has already begun to look like a beauty. In a few years, she will become a rare alluring beauty in the world.

If she was just a beautiful woman, she wouldn't let these noble children do this. After all, behind her, there is a powerful principality that is about to rise, and that is her greatest value.

love?In the eyes of nobles, interests are the greatest. As long as they have enough interests, such as love, they can have enough time to find it by themselves.For example, at the current ball, how many little nobles hope that they can look at their children, or even their wives.

Seeing that several nobles were about to come forward, Stendahl was the first to stop them, "Miss Shirley has just arrived, so let's talk about it later, let Shirley go around the ball and eat something."

Stopped by the king, although these people were not nobles of the Kingdom of Fudalil, they did not dare to approach any further, so they could only leave in resentment, preparing to meet the future duke later.

Some people will care about the king, but some people will not care about the king. The lady in a black evening dress is swaying with a slender snake waist, standing a pair of huge evil, holding a glass like blood. The red wine went to Shirley who was tasting the venison.

"I heard that venison is delicious, but I didn't feel much after eating it. It's better to roast lamb chops at home."

"Miss, all venison tastes like this, mainly because adults like venison..."

"It's really a little girl from the countryside. Venison is a nutritious food. It is the first-class meat that we nobles deserve to eat. You actually despise venison. Seeing how poor you are, you are worthy of eating those untouchables." Bitch."

The cheap meat here does not refer to pork, beef and mutton, but offal. In other nobles' places, many common people can't afford real meat. The most they can eat is liver, offal and so on.Don't say that no one ate it in Europe in the Middle Ages. If you look up the history, you will find that their dark dishes are simply unbearable.

"This is the Countess Du Jialinsi." Fuya whispered in her ear, knowing that her lady did not know the woman who appeared suddenly.

"Countess?"

Is a countess so brave?There must be hundreds of earls pressed by her, and they dared to jump out to trouble her.

"This countess cannot be compared with ordinary counts. There are dozens of counts and knights behind her. Miss, don't underestimate her."

What I said, if Shirley still doesn't understand, then she is really a stupid loli, but even if she is very beautiful, it is somewhat exaggerated to be able to do this.

"Miss, do you think you can't believe it? Have you seen the bald man dressed as the earl who is chatting with someone over there? He is one of the guests who entered the scene, and..."

Snapped. . .A crisp sound fell not far from Fuya's ear, and a slender hand tightly pinched the other hand, which was obviously as white as snow, but it didn't make Xueli feel good about it.

"My person is not something that anyone can move."

"A country girl, how dare she do anything to me."

Being said to be so embarrassing, Countess Du Jialinsi raised her eyebrows upright, and her pair of gem-like blue eyes revealed a monstrous anger.

"The people under your command owe a lesson. If you don't know how to teach, I'll help you."

Although many people knew about her situation, who would dare to reveal it in front of her? Besides, I was doing this for her husband's sake, and it was because of her activeness that her husband's family was thriving.Whether it is economic or military, it cannot be underestimated.

However, today, this little girl from the country who came from outside dared to slander here. This is not the northern border of Fafnir, and she is not allowed to act wild.

"My people owe education? Isn't it your Excellency who just came to me to talk nonsense? Why, don't you do it in the first year of junior high school, and I can't do it in fifteenth?"

Although she knew that this dinner party would not be that simple, someone came to make trouble just at the beginning, which was beyond Shirley's expectations. She scanned the surrounding nobles with her red eyes and found that the king who brought her in It has long since disappeared, and the corners of her lips are slightly raised.With a flick of her hand, the Countess staggered back a few steps.

"I am a nobleman, what is she, if you don't let her kneel down and apologize, don't blame me for being rude."

Fuya didn't speak, because Shirley had already raised her hand to tell her not to say more. Why Fuya said those words just now, wasn't it because the other party mocked her as a country girl.

One step forward of her petite body made the countess take a step back involuntarily.

"You asked my people to kneel down and apologize to you? What qualifications do you have? Don't say that Sister Fuya is my personal maid, just a random maid in my castle. They all have better green tea than you alone Honorable."

"What did you say, how dare you do that..."

"Shut your mouth and ask, how many people here today dare to stand by your side."

A poor creature who was pushed out just to test her bottom line. If she was a little weaker, then this duke canonization would not end so easily.In this world, nobility and power, in simple terms, are those whose fists are bigger.

Countess Du Jialinsi looked around and found that it was exactly as Shirley said, that even her husband who was discussing life with her yesterday was just hiding in the crowd at this moment, not daring to speak a word.

Does she know Shirley's situation, yes, but she doesn't know, what strength she has become the duke, no one told her, she just knows that this girl dances very well recently, the army is very strong, but what's the use of a strong army, They were so far away that it was necessary to be afraid of a little girl like that.

"Why, don't you talk anymore? How did you mock me just now? How about slapping my maid just now? Why didn't you come?"

One step, one step after another, approaching this woman standing among the crowd, who was obviously surrounded by familiar people but extremely isolated.

A small hand pinched her wrist that he had just pinched, and pulled it down forcefully, facing this delicate face that made her feel extremely disgusting and himself face to face.The breath of both parties can be sprayed on each other's face.

"Tell me, who sent you here."

Silent, because no one asked her to come, she just jumped out after listening to other people's discussion below, not knowing why.After she calmed down, she didn't even know why she jumped out.

"Duke Shirley, Duke Shirley, it's my fault that you came down late. Can you put her down first? I will investigate what happened tonight and give you an explanation."

King Stendhal, who came back from nowhere, had already heard his voice from the crowd before he arrived.Following the sound, the red pupils turned majestically, and with a wave of his hand, the countess was thrown out like trash.

The strong force and fierce wind pressure made none of the nobles along the way dare to reach out to pick them up.After knocking open a dining table full of food, the countess collapsed in embarrassment among the broken food and wine.

"Your Majesty Stendahl, you should give me an explanation for this matter."

Just this one sentence was enough, Xue Li turned her attention to Fuya, and gently caressed her delicate cheeks with her jade hand.

"Does it hurt?"

Fuya was dumbfounded by asking this question, she didn't seem to be hit.How to explain this pain.

"Miss, I don't hurt. Fortunately, you shot me just now, so I didn't get hit."

"Whether you hit or not is not the point. The wind blown by the opponent must have landed on your face. Does it hurt?"

This is looking for faults, this must be finding faults, the wind blowing up by the gods fell on the face, you are saying, no matter whether the other party hits or not, you have to count it as if you hit it ah.This is the life of Countess Du Jialinsi.

"My people were beaten, I'm here today, I hope there will be a reasonable explanation on my desk tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Shirley took Fuya's hand and walked out the door.Don't give the opponent any chance to use the backhand.

The Little Duke: Chapter 2 Waiting for Shirley to overturn

Countess Du Jialinsi was thrown several meters away by the Duke yesterday because she ran into Duke Shirley's maid.

What kind of person is Countess Du Jialinsi?Many nobles knew about her, but many common people had heard of her famous name. The beating of a countess like this really gave the people at the bottom some things to talk about after dinner.

Of course, this kind of thing is talk in the eyes of some people, but it is another matter in the eyes of a small group of people.

Open the curtains and let the sunlight shine into the room. The round table inside is already full of nobles dressed in their own colors.

"Let's talk, that little duke is not easy to mess with. It was just a temptation yesterday, and she almost made it clear that this kind of little nobleman is not easy to deal with."

Among the nobles, the first to speak was not a nobleman, but a man wearing a magic robe with his entire face covered by a hood.

"My lord, the plan is that you interfered with that little lord's emotions last night. Is her rage also the result of your interference?"

Using magic to interfere with emotions, this kind of thing they didn't even dare to think about before, but in front of this man, they actually did it. It was under his influence that Countess Du Jialinsi became irritable. To trouble Shirley, as for why it was her, it was not because she was the best choice.

There is an intricate network of relationships behind her, and there are too many nobles who are her servants and guests. Her appearance is a great shock in itself, and it can even be said to represent many nobles. mean.

The class existed like this, but the other party threw it out after threatening without hesitation.Isn't she afraid of causing the indignation of many nobles in the central region?

The young nobleman really couldn't understand his behavior without hesitation or even thinking about the consequences. He could only attribute the occurrence of this incident to the influence of the adult in the middle seat.

"That's natural, but I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good, but now there is another problem, that is, the effect is too good, but the nobles were shocked, and finally let her leave in anger, let our future The hands are useless."

Was it really his hint?Mao, he didn't even have time to talk to the little lord, so how could he hint at the other party, but nobles, don't they all want to hear what they want to hear, it doesn't matter whether he really influences the other party.The important thing is that these nobles really believed that the little lord was so angry because of his influence.

"This time it was self-defeating, but we can also see that many nobles are now afraid of this little lord."

"Isn't that normal? Since its rise to the present, it has been able to win more with less, and now it is even more difficult to use the power of a principality to fight against the Beastman Alliance and lay down a large territory in the northern continent. This is something that human monarchs of all generations have never imagined. A feat never done before."

Regarding Xue Li's record, this nobleman spoke clearly and logically, even his tone was full of awe. After all, regardless of each other's positions, how could such a character not be remembered, feared, or respected by others? .

"Hmph, she is the only nobleman who has ever conquered the Northern Continent. What is there to praise for being able to defeat the orcs once or twice? Once defeated, the ocean between the two sides will be their burial ground, and there is nowhere to escape. .”

"Haha, that's right. Although the Northern Continent is close to her territory, after all, it is a battle across the sea. If there are too many people going there, there will be problems with logistics and supplies. In addition, the cultivation of the Northern Continent cannot satisfy the supply of the army at all. If there are fewer people going, the orcs only need a few repeated attacks to wipe out all these elite troops in the northern continent. I can only say that this little girl is still too naive .”

Do you really think war is a game?In the past, we fought casually on the mainland because there was no problem with the supply line, but there is a fundamental difference between fighting across the sea and fighting on land.How can it be compared with previous operations.

"It's a pity that those elite troops were buried in the northern continent because of the innocence of a little girl."

He said it was a pity, but his tone didn't reveal any pity, it was full of gloating.

"Anyway, because of her northern expedition this time, at least the orcs did not invade the south on a large scale, which can be regarded as a great help to us. Besides, she can effectively contain the orcs in the northern continent if she persists for one day. Not a bad thing."

No one is optimistic about whether Shirley can gain a firm foothold in the Northern Continent. After all, the strength of the orcs in the Northern Continent is obvious to all.

"Let's put aside the issue of the Northern Continent first. What we need to consider now is how to delay her becoming a Principality. As long as the troops in the Northern Continent are defeated, the Principality will not be able to be established."

Adding a principality to the Fafnir Empire seems to weaken the imperial power, which is beneficial to them, but there is another aspect to consider, that is, Shirley's own strength. If she is still an earl, at least when she is attacking others There will be some restraint, after all, there is still the royal family on her head.

If she becomes a duke, then she will become a family on an equal footing with the royal family in one fell swoop, and even have diplomatic rights between countries. At that time, who can guarantee that she will not be targeted by such a beast that has broken free from the shackles.

For their own sake, they can't let this little lord become a principality, and stop her development at all costs.

"Delaying time is very simple. Nobles don't have many things, but they have a lot of time. We have already contacted His Majesty Stendahl. What he means is that we should discuss it below. Put it on the meeting and pass it directly.”

"This is a good way. Many nobles have not arrived yet. We can just contact them in private. Then we can delay the time and let her Northern Expedition Army be completely wiped out in the Northern Continent."
