There was a huge group of people when they came, but when they returned, there were a lot fewer soldiers behind Lena.

What's left is a pot of ashes. These clay pots were prepared by Leiner a long time ago.

There is no way to survive a war. In order to bring the soldiers home, Reiner prepared more than five hundred clay pots, but what he didn't expect was that five hundred clay pots were not enough...

Iron nameplates are tied to the handles of the clay pots, and Rainer will return these pots to their family.

Count Cholar's army is also next to Rainer, and they will return to the north together.

On November 15th in the 25th year of the Empire, after a month and a half, the march finally reached the edge of the northern border.

At this time, the northern border has entered winter and it has become extremely cold.

Rainer asked the soldiers to put on the cotton-padded clothes that had been prepared long ago, and Frant's body was also wrapped in a heavy shirt.

Riding on the horse's back, Frank trembling in the cold air.

Growing in the south, she had never experienced such a cold winter. She felt that her face was almost torn apart from the cold, and the bitter cold wind was blowing on her face like a sharp knife.

"If you can't stand it, go and stay in the carriage, it's too cold here, you may not be able to stand it!" Rainer frowned and looked at Frank.

"No need..." Frant shook her head. She knew that she would live here for a long time in the future and must adapt to this climate as soon as possible.

Rainer shook his head helplessly, and continued to move forward.

Suddenly, a blast of retching appeared in his ears, following the reputation, he found that it was Frank retching crazily on the back of his horse.

When Lena saw this, he frowned and got off his horse, and walked to her side.

"what happened?"

Frank retched for a while, then said intermittently: "No... I don't know..."

After thinking about it, Rainer's heart moved: "I'm afraid it's not morning sickness, right?"

Speaking of which, Rainer has not been idle during this time. Since he has been married, in the idea of ​​not having to use it for nothing, such things are very frequent.

Lehner felt it was very possible to go back and forth like this.

"Ah!" Frante exclaimed, and Lena pulled his body off his horse, hugged him in his arms, and placed it gently on the ground.

"What are you doing!" Frank looked at Rainer angrily.

"You might... are pregnant..." Rainer said hesitantly.

"Pregnant...pregnant??" Frank touched his abdomen subconsciously and looked at Lena in disbelief.

"Well, you go to the carriage and rest, I don't want any accidents with my child!" Rainer sent Frante onto the carriage without objection.

This child is too important to him, and his huge background has not yet a legal heir, which is a factor for him to cause instability in his territory.

Putting Frank into the wagon, Rainer stepped on the horse again and moved on, and he was in a very good mood.

There is an inexplicable sense of excitement in my heart when I think that I am about to welcome a child.

The inheritance of his own blood is a huge encouragement for any man.

Frank looked at the surroundings, feeling a little lost in his heart.

Sure enough, as she thought, the northern border was really a barren land. After walking for so long, she hadn't even seen a village. She was ready to survive in the barren land.

However, when she passed the first village the next day, her heart was full of shock.

This village is much stronger than the south in terms of buildings.

The houses looked so tall and big, and they were so different from the low shack in the south.

Residents in this north live in mostly wooden and stone mixed houses. Although the houses are not particularly beautiful in appearance, they are at least much stronger than those shacks.

And whether it is from a safety point of view or a comfort point of view, the houses in the north are definitely stronger than those in the south.

At this time, it was noon, and curls of smoke wafted from the chimney, and the smell of meat wafted through the village.

"Dear Lord Earl! Welcome to your successful return from the front line, everyone in Heixi Village salutes you!" When the village elder got the news that Rainer had arrived, he immediately asked all the villagers to walk out of the house to express his sincere heart to Rainer. Loyalty.

Villagers on both sides of the road took off their felt hats and placed them on their chests, bending over to salute.

"It doesn't have to be this, my dear subjects!" Rainer walked off the horse with a smile, and personally supported an old man in front of him.

Lena remembered him, this was an old man of the Moreland family, who was placed here as the village elder by Lena, who controlled the entire village.

"Because of my outstanding record in this war, I have been canonized by His Majesty the Emperor as the Great Duke of the North. From now on you are all subjects of the North!" Rainer said with a smile.

"Long live the Great Duke of the Northern Territory!" Everyone looked at each other, and becoming the leader of such a prominent lord like the Great Northern Territory was something to be proud of.

At this moment, after seeing the situation here, Frank thought slightly, and came to Lena's side, smiling at everyone present.

Rainer gave Frank a weird look, and then said: "This is Frank, the daughter of Earl Creek, my wife!"

"Ah! It turned out to be the Grand Duchess! Grand Duchess Good Day, Heixi Village would like to pay you the highest respect!"

When Frank saw this, he smiled and said nothing.

She saw that although the people around them still seemed to be in distress, there was a huge difference in their mental state and physical fitness.

From these northern residents, she could not see the same eyes as the southern serfs, helpless, numb, and could not see the hope of life.

What she saw in the eyes of these people was the incomparable admiration for Lena and the yearning for a better life in the future.

In addition, the biggest difference between them and the serfs in the south and central may be their bodies.

Compared with the skinny southern serfs, they are now quite strong, and even better than some of the soldiers under Frant's back. The physical quality of the low-level civilians is what shocked her most.

Leaving the carriage, her senses of the village became clearer~lightnovelpub.net~The series of huge meat pieces hung on the eaves of every household, and the huge grain stock piled in the courtyard, all of which showed The wealth of this village.

Back in the carriage, Frank couldn't help thinking.

The fanatical worship of the lords by the residents of the north is the only thing she has seen in her life. Although the lords in the other places worship the lords in most cases, it is absolutely impossible to reach the point of the north.

Moreover, although the South is much wealthier than the North, in the final analysis, only a few people are rich. The vast majority of people are serfs with low status and even freedom and property are not allowed.

In the northern border, Frant did not find a serf, and no one seemed to be a self-employed farmer with status.

Even when they were looking at them, they would not dodge cowardly, but instead looked at them with respect and affection.

Frank knew that this reverence and affection were not for himself, but simply because he was Lena's wife, that he would be treated like this.
