Magic Sword

04 Heavy rain

Far away in Belsaas, Claudia, who sent them away two months ago, suddenly heard the news of the title of the Magic Sword City in Belsas City. Compared with the joking attitude of others, Claudia has been completely shocked to the point of almost losing her compulity.

The situation changed quite fiercely in the next few days. The Oga royal family issued an order to recall all available combat forces. As the Valkyrie of the Rorulos family, Claudia is naturally one of the top candidates.

On the way back to Banbo, he also received several consecutive orders, in order to readjust the convergence point and ask the knights to pay attention to the order to rest.

Then the old knights in the regiment easily said that Parsa probably did it first, so there was such a margin.

After rushing all the way back to Banbo, Claudia immediately took advantage of the privilege of the Valkyrie to apply for a trip back to Rorosburg. There is too little news that I can get when I am single. I have to go back to my father to discuss it.

October is full of fire, autumn is high, the wind is clear, and people come and go.

Claudia returned home through the bustling crowd, and the castle of Rollros was still the same. The thumping military boots pounded on the regular bluestone floor. Under the curious eyes of the servants, the young lady of the Rollros family went straight to the Duke's study.

Open the door, and every time he opened the door, it was exactly the same. Duke Rollros was still calm and peaceful, as if the continuous war outside had nothing to do with him.

It seems that he knew about Claudia's arrival in advance. He picked up a golden leaf beside him as a bookmark and put it in the book he had just read, and slowly raised his head:

"Dia, you're back."

"Father."

Claudia, who was out of breath, still knew the etiquette. She forced herself to hold her breath and bowed down to salute. The Duke nodded slightly and waved her to come over. Claudia had a lot to ask, but she stopped talking and sat in the ebony chair as the duke's signal.

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask now, but you have to answer my question first." The Duke took the lead in speaking. After saying this, he hesitated a little, "Well, it's actually very simple. Do you like the teenager named Sus?"

This sentence stunned Claudia, but after a slight pause, she still answered with a straight face:

"I knew that my husband had nothing to do with my own feelings from the moment I remembered."

"I'm asking if you like him?"

The Duke continued to ask, still in a casual tone. This made Claudia confused what her father meant, but after thinking about it, she still replied:

"I helped him in Belsas just because of his concessions in Crewe's affairs. That guy has a bad personality, lawlessness, doesn't do things in moderation, doesn't know how to restrain, and can't be seen as an aristocrat at all.

"But you didn't say you didn't like him from beginning to end."

The Duke broke the girl's defense with one word, and Claudia suddenly became dumb. She bit her lower lip and meditated for three seconds and then said:

"Everything is according to my father's arrangement."

"Okay, okay, I haven't decided on this matter yet. Just ask casually. Don't be too nervous."

The Duke said so, and he gently knocked on the mahogany table with his index finger, which was his usual action when thinking. Claudia, who was familiar with her father, knew that he was thinking, so she didn't answer any more. Time passed quietly for a minute in silence, and Duke Rollros suddenly sighed:

"Well, is the final problem still on yourself?" Claudia didn't know what her father was talking about, but she didn't dare to interrupt. She could only listen quietly. "You know that I have been seeking a change in the family. This family can no longer be supported by blood alone. It's really sad that the position of the head of the family has fallen on me as a man."

The girl was silent. Yes, the head of the Valkyrie family is a man, which started from his father's generation. The patriarch is not without the Valkyrie in their father's generation. Except for a collateral Kuran, there is only one aunt, but that aunt died early at the age of 14. If it hadn't been for this generation's awakening, the Rollros family would have basically existed in name now. Because this matter has passed safely, everyone has deliberately forgotten it tacitly.

But this matter has always been a thorn in my father's heart. Since I was a child, I have often heard from my father that it is impossible for the Rollros family to maintain this status quo. However, the current situation is that the empire has very strict restrictions on the families of the gods. Whether it is military and politics, business, and politics, the Rororos family has been very tly suppressed by the imperial nobles, and his father's efforts have all been in the ass. If it weren't for this castle and several manors, even livelihood would have been a problem.

Only their father and daughter know about this. Oh, before that, there was Claudia's deceased mother.

"I told you before that I saw a turnaround, that is, that is, the Sis. I think he can bring us a turnaround, but now it seems that this turnaround seems to be too dangerous."

When it comes to Sius, Claudia can't help but say:

"Father, what's going on with Xius Jianguo?" Seeing his daughter's frown, the Duke couldn't help laughing. The girl who was overwhelmed by her father couldn't help but be a little angry, "What's laughing, father, what's going on?"

"literally, he established a country and an empire, although the current territory is only half of the Broken Golden Mountains." The Duke turned over a dozen pieces of information from the table, and the side pages of the materials were obviously rolled up, which had been turned over many times. "This is the information sent by your uncle in Rutherburg. All I can say is that this young man is really crazy."

Claudia quickly took over the information and quickly looked through it. Looking at her daughter's serious expression, the Duke continued:

"He seems to have used a new system to integrate all the forces in that area and distribute all the fields to the people. In that country, there are no nobles, no laws, and no army. I really don't know how he ran this country. Of course, the point now is that he became emperor, and then when Oga was still laughing, the Palsa immediately began to attack him, as if he were afraid of something. Your Majesty also recalled you this time to fight against him. The superior forces in the Duanjin Mountains are very advantageous. Your Majesty probably intends to dispatch a little imperial dragon army.

"This bastard."

My daughter gritted her teeth when she looked at the information, and I don't know if she was listening to herself. In response, the Duke just smiled and continued:

"And now is a turning point. If I send you to him, then if he holds on, once his empire is established, I think the Rollros family will shine with his dynasty for dozens of generations. Of course, if he loses, then the Rollros family will be in a position to be raided.

The Duke casually said something that stunned Claudia, but Duke Rollros himself continued as if he didn't care about anything:

"It's okay if I continue to be my Oga nobleman, but now Oga is gradually declining. Whether it is destroyed by Parsa or by that Sius, the Rororos family will not fall behind. So this gamble is huge!"

Listening to the words of Duke Rollros, Claudia feels very incredible. No matter how you look at it, Xius is bound to lose! Is there still a country in this world that can survive under the attack of the two empires Oga and Parsa at the same time? The girl shook her head puzzledly:

"Father, what are you talking about? Isn't he bound to lose? If these words are heard, it would be a great thing!"

"No! He can win, he can definitely win!"

Suddenly, the side door of the study was pushed open, and Claudia's younger brother, Crud, suddenly broke in. In this regard, the Duke's expression was very flat and probably knew it before, while Claudia was scared and quickly scolded:

"Cru, don't be so rude in front of your father!"

The teenager who was reprimanded by his sister not only did not bow his head, but retorted loudly:

"Sister, you don't understand, you don't understand how powerful their spirit is!"

"K Crewe!"

Claudia has always been good to her brother, but this is also limited. Just as she was about to get angry, the Duke interrupted the quarrel between the two:

"Cru, sit down and don't say anything for the time being." The per year-old Jiwei is still useful. After a little hesitation, Crude still sat obediently in the chair opposite his sister, just looking up, as if he still had something to say. Duke Rollros took a long breath and said in that unhurden tone, "That's why I made the above assumptions. I don't know what the child came into contact with in that place, which can make a child who has received more than ten years of aristocratic education as stubborn as those crazy believers in the church. If he really has a way to make all the people maintain his rule so crazy, then he will defeat Parsa and O. It's just a matter of time."

Speaking of this, the Duke paused for a moment, "So as soon as he came back, I kept him locked in the study. If he goes out and say something nonsense now, probably there will be soldiers to surround Rollrosburg tomorrow."

Claudia was shocked when she came out of her father's mouth. She was now thinking about what the bastard did, but when she saw her brother's stubborn eyes, she was helpless, but before she thought much, the Duke said such a sentence.

"My original plan was to send you there quietly if you want to. If you don't want to, then let's wait and see what happens. That's why I asked you if you really like him. So, what about your decision now?
