After being occupied by Swadia, the reconstruction project of Serendil has been basically completed. Under Byron’s loose rule, Serendil’s economy has returned to normal and the land has been redistributed. I occasionally complain about the rising crime rate, but they basically praise the benevolent rule of Baron Byron and His Excellency Fatis, although the whereabouts of the Baron himself is currently unknown.

When Fatis and Jamila first returned to Serendil, he was accompanied by only a few dozen cavalry. At that time, the soldiers who fell to Alain already accounted for two-thirds of the garrison in the town. The squires and dignitaries also showed their favor to Elaine. It is difficult for outsiders to shake Elaine’s current control with the arrival of Fatis, and the rumors he brought are not necessarily credible. After all, King Harous Everyone thought that Byron had died in the battle, and even the funeral was held.

But at this time Fatis’s usual reputation in the army, Jamila’s eloquence and the dinar in hand came into play. For a week, Fatis had been eating and living with the soldiers. Jamila constantly lobbied among the local dignitaries. Eleon was not ignorant of this, but when he squeezed out his energy to send people to Serendil to have a conversation with Fatis, Serendil's situation had already undergone an astonishing reversal.

The entire town’s garrison, mercenaries, and private soldiers provided by local powers all fell to Fatis. With the addition of Desaiwei’s troops, Elaine’s statement about himself as the new lord is naturally not affected. accept. Two of Byron's best knights were facing each other in his territory at this moment.

In the ruling hall, the heroes and officers who still insisted on being loyal to Byron held a meeting again. Like the previous meetings, they were still discussing how to deal with the current relationship with Elaine.

But just like the previous meetings, they did not discuss why this time. They are confident of defeating Eleon, but they dare not really do it, fearing that the royal family will take this attack, so there is no progress in an hour.

"The messenger we sent to Pegunde is back. Elaine is still the same thing. He does not believe that the adults are still alive, nor does he fall to the prince completely. This neutrality is really intriguing."

After the people dispersed, only Fattis and Jamila were left in the house. The previous meeting was actually more of a show, and it was the two of them who really made the decision.

"It seems that he still believed our words. He wants to keep the status quo and continue to wait and see. This is correct, but the current situation probably does not allow him to remain neutral like this." Yamila sat in a chair, her face was not very small, traveling. Her hard work and high-intensity work recently made her very weak. Fatis persuaded her to take a good rest, but she still did not let go of her work. She knew that Serendil could not be without her in this situation.

"Yes, the Lords of Rodok are all building up their strength. According to our scout's report, there have been about a thousand people gathered in the mountains to the west. The Lords of Jelkala have assembled a larger force. Wait for them. There will be at least three thousand people ready, and there are many heavy infantry and crossbowmen supported by King Griffith. The war in the north is about to end, and the armies of King Harous and the other earls will return soon. At that time, it was even more difficult for Rodok to regain the territory, and they would definitely not be able to prevent overloading this opportunity." Fatis looked at the flags representing Rodok forces on the map seriously. "If we continue to confront each other like this, once Rodok's army reaches us, none of us can run. We must end this state as soon as possible."

Jamila nodded. She also understood the current situation, but there was one thing she didn't tell Fattis. She was more worried about Eleon than she was worried about the current situation. Both of them are now at war, but she has been looking for a peaceful solution. She was loyal to Byron, so she tried her best to publicize the news that Byron is still alive, and constantly persuaded the Serendil squires who had fallen to Elaine. But she still loves Elaine, although Elaine’s feelings for her are not so strong...

"It really can't... Let me go to Pegunde, maybe I can move him." After Yamila thought about it for a while, she bit her lip, made up her mind, and stood up with her chair.

"Although it is a way, but I have to prevent you from doing this." Hearing Jamila's words, Fattis frowned and shook his head. He made an emotional mistake, but this does not mean that he is a piece of wood that does not understand the emotions of men and women. , He could see Jamila's true intentions at a glance. "Yamila, maybe in your opinion Eleon is a handsome knight, brave and elegant, and treats ladies very gentlemanly. But you have to know that he is a self-righteous guy, and you get along very well, but that's nothing but It was a noble showing kindness to her potential mistress. Forgive me for saying this, but I am sorry that this is true. When not with you, do you know how many women he hooked up with, and how many noble ladies expressed love? Once he almost got into trouble with an aristocratic daughter of Uxhal, and Lord Byron gave him a beneficiary. Besides, he took the status and identity of the aristocrat so seriously, I really think you should not choose He, let alone think that he can change his mind with his own power. He is too aristocratic. If you block him from chasing power, he will step on it without hesitation. This is how he is now."

After Fatis finished speaking, the room fell into an awkward silence. After a while, Jamila sat down with tears in the corners of her eyes, lying on the table and sobbing softly.

Fatis blushed when he realized that he had spoken too much. He felt very guilty, not only because he made Yamila cry and broke a young girl’s illusion about love, but also because he accidentally vented the resentment he had accumulated when he killed his brother for a woman in the first place. Body. In a modern term on the earth, he was a little uncomfortable eating dog food just now and broke out.

"Maybe we can go there together. I mean.. Tell him clearly about the relationship, maybe he will agree."

Fatis had to step forward to comfort Jamila, but even he himself felt that the way he comforted him was too bad. But there was no way, he had a lot of words in his heart to comfort her, but he couldn't say it because he caused the fault.

"No, Fatis, really don't need it." A bitter smile appeared on her face. "We all know that this is useless, the problem is not here. As long as Lord Byron is still alive, Elaine will not fall to our side. If we go, I am afraid he will be locked up by him. After all, it is gone. Both of us, both the troops and those who support us, will change our positions again."

Having said this, they both sat down and looked at the floor without saying a word.

But at this moment, cheers suddenly came from outside the house, and the soldiers seemed to be shouting something, gathering together, getting closer and closer to them.

"What's the matter?" Fatis opened the door curiously and just hit the excited soldiers. At this moment, they were surrounded by a sweaty and smiling messenger with a letter tightly clutched in the messenger's hand. .

"Your Excellency Fatis, this is the handwriting of Lord Von Byron. Your lord has already set off from Dehrim and will return to his territory soon!" The messenger passed the letter and said loudly.

"Have you heard, Lord Byron is still alive!"

"I knew that our head could not die!"

The soldiers and mercenaries cheered, and their laughter was so happy that the joyful atmosphere swept the whole town at once.

"It's him! It's his word! Great, soldiers, our adults are back! Jamila, have you seen it? Don't worry, Byron is back!"

Fatis was stunned for a moment and thought he was dreaming, then he eagerly opened the letter, and when he saw the bitter gourd face inside it became a beautiful flower. He held up the letter and chanted Byron's name to the soldiers, and the tear-stained face of Jamila in the room regained her beautiful smile.

But this smile lasted for less than ten seconds~lightnovelpub.net~ Then she frowned again, covered her mouth and leaned forward.

"vomit..."

Fatis, who was happy, suddenly froze for a while, and then he immediately shouted at the people: "Everyone, go and prepare. In order to welcome the adults, we have to prepare a party."

Dismissed the excited soldier, and threw another gold coin to the messenger. Fatis hurriedly returned to the house and leaned over to support Yamila who was about to vomit.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, with a hunch in his heart.

"It's nothing, it's really nothing." Jamila held back her breath and moved her hands down to support her lower abdomen.

"You and Eleon..."

Fatis' expression became a little stiff, while Jamila's face was flushed, and her head was almost buried in her chest.

"Stop talking, Fatis. We...just did everything we needed..."
