Chapter 10 To His Highness the Princess (3)

After sailing on the sea for a few more days, the ship arrived at the port of Bordeaux.

This is an extremely important port in the Almani Federation. It was already very prosperous as early as the reign of the Qiqiu Empire. It connects Iberia to the south and Great Britain to the north. It is an important shipping hub sandwiched between the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. In normal times, you can see busy people with different accents in the port, and you can see ships anchored on the shore in rows, white sails erected from their masts, and even covering the sky.

However, due to the Black Death, the port was depressed a lot. Several ships were floating alone with the waves, and the number of ships that the Count of Ile de France was to reach ten. There were no few people on the port, and the same was true on the street.

But the Earl of France didn't care about this. As soon as he got off the boat, he took Princess Navarra to a street stall. He brought a plate of small and exquisite cakes in the shape of bells, which looked very delicate and delicate.

"Koroli, a specialty of Bordeaux. You have to eat this when you come to Aquitaine." The Count of Ile-de-France opened the "Red Knife" and reached out his hand that wanted to grab the snack, pushed the plate in the direction of Princess Navarre, "Try it?"

"When will you fool me?"

The princess of Navarra tightly grabbed her skirt. She only brought out this set of clothes. Every time she was wet with tears, her handprints and mud marks were left on it. After a few days, the clothes had become very dirty, as if they were picked out from the garbage dump. Looking at such clothes, her eyes felt sore and tears fell down again.

"I'm your pet, day by day, every day, Is it your pet? Or is it a pig that is fattened and slaughtered?"

"No, it just looks like you are in a bad mood. When a girl is in a bad mood, she has to eat some snacks."

"Why do you think I'm in a bad mood? You killed my whole family!"

Princess Navarra roared, and the table next to her looked at him. The Earl of France, however, pushed the plate with snacks at Princess Navarra again: "Then, come and taste the taste now? You haven't eaten much these days, and your stomach should be very uncomfortable, right? If you starve to death here, how can you seek revenge on me?"

"You will be punished by God."

Princess Navarra gave the Earl of France a blank look, grabbed a piece of dessert and stuffed it into her mouth.

A sound of gongs and drums came from afar, which was quite festive, but for the quiet streets, it seemed a bit too noisy. The sound of gongs and drums became increasingly dense, and it seemed that a grand performance was being carried out in the distance, and even the leaves were shaken and fell a few pieces.

The music stopped, and then there was a cry: "Great victory! Great victory! The Duke of Aquitaine defeated the Tianfang Empire army that harassed the border and returned triumphantly!"

A row of artists holding musical instruments passed through the street, and followed them was a group of about a hundred soldiers. They either waved musical instruments, waved flags and weapons, and greeted the people on both sides of the street.

"The Tianfang Empire harasses the border?" Hongdao seemed surprised, "When did this happen?"

"Not surprising. But it's mostly just a vassal state of the Tianfang Empire." The Earl of Ile-de-France said, "Before leaving Paris, I had received a war mobilization order from Isfahan, and it is said that all countries responded one after another. Among the vassal states of the Tianfang Empire, the only one who has not yet made a position is probably our Almani Federation."

"You are actually resisting such pressure?" Bai Gong was surprised. "Every messenger of the Tianfang Empire is not a good person. The one who came last time, the black flat Ping said it was worth 2 silver weights, right?"

"One medium silver weight plus seven small silver weights, less than two." Hei Tou Ping said, "But the scary thing is not him, but Gregory, who could not feel the magic at all. I used three small golden weights to suppress him. At that time, the number of weights I carried with me was not enough to measure his value."

"Gregorian is not here. They did not bring any king's head this time, so why should I be anxious?" said the Earl of Ile-de-France, "I want me to express my opinion, and I will talk about it when they can't sit still."

The black balance lifted the balance and headed towards the guards passing by. As he chanted the spell, the balance began to tilt to the left. He put a large copper weight into the right side of the balance, but the balance was still pressed tightly on the left. So he began to add medium copper weights, one, two, three to the right side of the balance... He became more and more surprised, and the balance was barely flat until the medium weight was added to the tenth.

"It is obviously just a light armored infantry, but it is worth more than two large copper weights." He exclaimed, "Generally speaking, the army of this type of equipment is only worth about one large copper weight, and the training degree is higher, and it will not exceed one and a half. How did the Duke of Aquitaine train his army? How could it be so powerful?"

"I wonder how many Duke Aquitaine holds in his hands like this army?" Bai Gong lowered his head and drank the drink. "He has always been rebellious. If the power grows bigger, your position will be difficult to protect."

"It's okay, he wants the position of the consul, so let him take it. I will be the Duke of Burgundy by myself." The Count of Ile de France grabbed a piece of Keluli from the plate as if nothing had happened. "It just so happens that I don't have to worry about the affairs of the Tianfang Empire."

"The consul is the co-lord of all the lords of the Almani Federation, the supreme leader, and even the king of Bohemia will salute him." Hongdao looked at the Earl of Ile-de-France with dissatisfaction, "We just give this position to him?"

"Have you ever seen the supreme leader of an empire that is worth only two medium silver weights?" The Earl of France only tucked Keluli into it one by one. "I will give it to anyone who wants this position. I will not be a dog in the consul of the Federation of Almany."

Just as they were talking about this, the large army came over with the Duke of Aquitaine. They immediately stopped discussing and began to eat.

"The Duke of Aquitaine is your vassal." Princess Navarra, who had been listening to their conversation silently, suddenly put down her snacks and looked up at the Earl of Ile-de-France, "Don't you go out and say hello?"

"Look down," Hongdao raised his eyes and glared at her, "Don't talk much. You can't be discovered by the Duke of Aquitaine to us here."

Princess Navarra smiled crookedly, as if she understood something. She obediently lowered her head and continued to eat snacks. However, just as the Duke of Aquitaine passed by them on a horse, she suddenly lifted the plate in her hand and smashed it towards Duke of Aquitaine. Then, she took out a dagger from somewhere, ran out before everyone could react, and rushed straight towards Duke of Aquitaine.

She had no strength. A soldier only kicked her and immediately made her kneel on the ground. Then, two knives were placed on her neck.

She turned her head slightly, and her dark eyes looked at the Count of Ile de France and her group with a smile. But she heard her shout at the Count of Ile de France:
