His King was in tears.
These beautiful young female Rogue warriors were originally a group of pure and innocent girls. How did they all go astray after spending some time in Chambord City?
As for that shameless old swindler Gheed, Sun Fei simply kicked him out of the crowd.
"Good."
After a brief moment of being caught off guard, the Valkyrie quickly regained her composure, gently accepted the flower from Sun Fei, and resumed her usual elegant demeanor. She nodded decisively, uttering only one word, as if deciding on something very easy, and readily agreed.
However, Sun Fei clearly saw that Elena's hand, holding the flowers, was so forceful that it almost crushed the delicate bouquet of roses into tiny fragments.
Clearly, the Valkyrie's inner world was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
"Ugh--!!! That's too easy on him..." The girls unanimously booed at their leader's disappointing performance.
"Sigh, this is pointless, really pointless. I knew it! That silly girl Elena would agree without hesitation. It's too easy. Instead of wasting this time, I'd rather let this Old Man think about the problem of reversing the magic circuit of the third stage of the Divine Runes!" The lecherous old man Cain shook his head, with an expression that said he had known this all along.
"Now I finally understand why you're still a virgin at your age," the nun said calmly.
"Pfft... why?" Old Man Cain almost spat out his drink.
"First of all, you're... in Sun's words, very creative and courageous. Of course, that's not the key point. The main thing is that you're so clueless about romance, you deserve to be a virgin your whole life." The nun had a real talent for being venomous.
"Pfft!" Old Man Cain spat out in utter despair.
Sun Fei, meanwhile, happily and cheerfully took the Valkyrie's cold little hand.
Having meticulously prepared for so long, intending to surprise the Valkyrie, Sun Fei was somewhat annoyed by Elena's nonchalant reaction. However, upon reflection, he realized that for the Valkyrie, who was always so elegant, refined, and serene, to be caught off guard and experience such a fleeting moment of surprise was quite rare.
That's just Elena's personality.
She didn't even ask Sun Fei what he planned to do with Angela.
A simple "okay" represented a choice and will more resolute than a thousand words, so much so that when Sun Fei heard that word, he could feel the unwavering resolve in the heart of the beautiful and Valkyrie, who was as pure as an iceberg snow lotus.
When Sun Fei emerged from the Diablo World, he felt an unprecedented sense of excitement and relief.
The process of proposing to Elena took His King considerable thought and effort, far more elaborate than his proposal to Angela. This could be seen as a form of compensation for the Valkyrie, given that Elena's background was far more arduous than Angela's, and that she had always silently accompanied him through thick and thin, making far greater sacrifices.
People are in high spirits when they encounter happy events.
Sun Fei had the most restful sleep he'd had since transmigrating to the Azeroth Continent. He even woke up late for the first time in a long time, a rare occurrence. When he emerged from the royal tent, yawning, the sun was already high in the sky. The entire army of Chambord City had postponed its departure because of King Majesty's lazy sleep.
By noon, the army had finally entered the territory of Chambord City.
To be precise, it's the new territory of Chambord City.
Sun Fei won the championship in the Imperial Martial Combat Competition, and as a result, Chambord City was transformed from a small, sixth-class vassal state in a remote corner into a first-class vassal state with unparalleled prominence within the empire. Previously, five or six small states surrounding Chambord City, such as Kingdom of Black Rock and Laisi Kingdom, were all merged into Chambord City's territory. As a result, Chambord City's territory expanded more than four or five times compared to before.
The territory the army was now setting foot on had previously been part of the Kingdom of Black Rock.
The expansion of territory is a desirable thing for any vassal state. However, with the expansion of territory, effective governance has become the most troublesome problem for the royal family and ministers of Chambord City. Suddenly having so much land and people, there is simply not enough manpower to govern them. Previously, his father-in-law Best and the military leader of Chambord City, Brook, had sent letters to Sun Fei many times to report on this issue.
However, Sun Fei was used to being a hands-off manager, so his answer was always shameless—everything was left to these two important ministers of the kingdom to handle themselves.
But we don't know if these two have solved the problem yet.
Sun Fei also wanted to get a good understanding of the true situation in his country before returning to Chambord City, so after entering the border, the army temporarily slowed down its march and observed the situation along the way.
To Sun Fei's delight, he did not encounter the chaotic scene he had imagined along the way.
Before Sun that afternoon, the army arrived at the outskirts of a small farm town.
Kelun Town is a very ordinary farm town.
The town is located within the territory of the former fourth-class vassal state of Kingdom of Black Rock. However, nearly three months ago, after Chambord City suddenly emerged as a new power in the Zenit Empire, the King of the Kingdom of Black Rock family was stripped of its Glory by the emperor, and the entire country was incorporated into Chambord City. Naturally, Krun Town became a territory of Chambord City.
The ordinary serfs who had lived in the town for generations did not care too much about this change in ownership.
After all, for those struggling to survive, who rules them is not important. What matters most to them is whether they can get wheat seeds every spring, whether they can rent land, and whether they can pay less tax.
It was past seven o'clock in the evening, the Sun had already set, and twilight enveloped the town, with the sounds of chickens and dogs filling the air.
The men, already worried about the important matter of spring planting, gathered in the town's only tavern, sitting in twos and threes, waiting for the town's only nobleman to announce the latest tax and land lease information.
This little bar is quite old and worn, but it is the only entertainment venue in Krun Town, and it also often serves as a temporary council hall.
The wooden door to the wine shop creaked and groaned as it opened and closed repeatedly, making a sound like rotting wood rubbing together.
More and more thin, dark-skinned men, dressed in coarse linen clothes and worn-out black leather boots, with bitter expressions, walked in. They greeted acquaintances and then found a corner to sit down.
The town's only nobleman, Lord Babel, had sent word that he would announce the new year's seed distribution method and discuss the latest tax agreement with the farmers tonight. Therefore, all the men in charge of the town had come here, their faces filled with worry. This time of year was the most worrying for them, as Lord Babel would definitely take this opportunity to squeeze every last drop of profit out of them.
Squeak!!
The rickety wooden door of the wine shop suddenly opened, and several strangers walked in.
Leading the group was a handsome young guard with flowing golden hair, holding a strangely shaped longbow tightly in his hand. Behind him stood a strikingly handsome young king with long black hair and a delicate and lovely girl with equally dark hair and fair skin, as beautiful as a porcelain doll.
The appearance of these three people immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone in the bar.
Such handsome men could not possibly be found in a small place like Krun Town. They were clearly outsiders from elsewhere. Although Krun Town was remote, many caravans or mercenary groups passed through from time to time, so it was not surprising to see strangers. However, these three men were so extremely handsome that the people in the wine couldn't help but be stunned.
Behind the three were a young man with short chestnut hair and a knight-like warrior with short white hair standing on end.
The five of them looked around and found a relatively secluded spot on the right side near the window, where they sat down.
