[Chapter 250 Princess Sofia]
With the formal establishment of the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment in Winter City, even Helen’s two brothers Castor and Pollux came to Winter City for training.
The connection between the Kingdom of Sparta and Winter City has become closer and closer.
In this case, David hopes that the Kingdom of Sparta can develop steadily, and it would be best if it could become the most powerful country in the world, so that it can continuously provide population resources and high-quality soldiers for Winter City in the future.
As for growing tea in Sparta? That’s all by the way!
After confirming that the tokens he made can allow “ordinary people” to obtain the qualifications to come to Winter City, David simply tested “whether the same tokens made by others have the same effect?”
He also tested whether the tokens “made by himself with authorization” and “made without authorization” would have the same effect?
After testing, it was found that only the tokens made by David himself could make people qualified to come to Winter City. Other people in Winter City, even if they were “permitted” to make tokens, did not have this effect.
“Well, that means only I can issue this kind of token.”
David did not rush to make a lot of tokens and then give a few to each person.
He needed time to sort out his thoughts. He couldn’t think about these things when Helen was spreading olive oil everywhere and performing ancient Greek Olympic culture for him…
“Who gave you this idea?”
Although David didn’t know much about ancient European history, he happened to know about the birth of the Olympic Games. There is a saying that it was held to commemorate the sacrifice of Achilles, which means that the Olympic Games came into being only after Achilles died.
Helen is very young now, not married yet, and she didn’t elope with Paris to Troy. Achilles didn’t know which palace he was in as a cross-dresser, so there should be no Olympic Games in her world at this time.
“Laura!”
Looking at the hair soaked with sweat and olive oil, David reached out to help Helen tidy up the hair stuck on her forehead, and felt amused and helpless at Helen’s answer.
This woman was really anxious. She actually ran to ask her “rival” Laura for advice, wanting to know from Laura how to quickly take her down?
“Her method is very effective.”
Helen lay in David’s arms, feeling like she was falling apart, and it was hard to move a finger, but she was very satisfied in her heart, and the physical fatigue and discomfort turned into spiritual satisfaction.
“…”
David resisted saying anything. With Helen’s figure and appearance, even if she didn’t play those fancy tricks, normal people couldn’t stand it. He just gave Laura a heart in his heart!
As for why Helen was so anxious suddenly, it was all caused by Sofia’s arrival!
Although the connection between Sparta and Winter City is getting closer and closer, Helen is not satisfied with this.
She dreamed of becoming David’s wife. Previously, she could manage it slowly, and even felt that she had a little advantage: because she could accompany David for a long time.
As a result, the king of the Kingdom of Tilan in this world suddenly wanted to marry his daughter to David, which made her feel a crisis.
In a hurry, she didn’t care about anything, and ran directly to Laura for advice, to take David down first!
She was a little skeptical about Laura’s suggestions, but after confirming the effect, she suddenly understood why Laura was willing to give her advice.
She thought of a book she had read not long ago, in which the demigod Hercules once knocked over forty-nine girls overnight and made all of them give birth to sons.
In Helen’s opinion, David was also like this, but she didn’t know if he was pregnant with a son?
If so, did he take the lead?
Thinking wildly, the tired Helen fell into a dream. David looked at Helen, who was smiling and sleeping sweetly, and just acted as a human pillow.
When it was bright, David gently got rid of Helen’s entanglement, got up, washed and dressed, and after tidying up his appearance, he went to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia and Earl Sutton-Stewart.
The welcome ceremony and tour activities prepared for Her Royal Highness were arranged from noon to evening today, and all day tomorrow.
As the lord of Winter City, David certainly could not be absent.
Not only David could not be absent, but all the senior people in Winter City had to appear at the welcome party – the welcome party was held in Glamorgan Castle, but David had to go to the Winter Hotel to pick up the princess and the earl in person. Even if it was just across the street, he could not be lacking in etiquette.
Elias Parker, who had gone to the capital to deal with personal affairs and returned with the delegation this time, had been waiting outside David’s bedroom door early.
As soon as David finished tidying up and walked out of the bedroom door, he saw his etiquette officer waiting here quietly. “
Have you dealt with everything?”
“Yes, my lord!”
“You will live in Winter City from now on.”
“That’s my luck, my lord!”
“How are the preparations for the welcome party going?”
“Everything is ready.”
These are the work of the etiquette officer. Elias got up early to check all the details.
The venue, layout, and food were all checked. Some hot dishes would not be prepared until the right time, but Elias knew Jonah’s cooking skills and was not worried about any problems with the food.
A large group of people, including Political Officer Weatherby Swann; Sheriff Elizabeth Swann; Floyd and Jack Krauser of the Winter Knights; Navy Commander James Norrington, were already waiting in the banquet hall.
David was going to take Elias, Gareth Stanton, and some of the Winter Knights to pick up Princess Sophia and Earl Sutton-Stewart.
“The car is arranged by…”
“It’s Dino.” Elias had never seen Dino before, because Dino had just come to Winter City recently, and he happened to go to the capital.
But this did not affect him to choose the most “appropriate car” after understanding all the information clearly.
“Oh, but as for Dino…” Dino transformed into a Ferrari sports car, which can only seat two people, right?
“The Earl will take the second car with Gareth.” Although Sutton-Stewart is the leader of the delegation, the real protagonist of this delegation is Princess Sophia, and everyone knows this.
As they talked, they walked out of Glamorgan Castle. The car had already parked here, and David got into the red sports car that Dino had transformed into.
“This is such a boring job.”
As soon as David came in, Dino began to complain about this job. It was really unpleasant that he had to make a special trip to cross the road.
“I can’t help it. You are handsome enough!”
“That’s right.”
The convoy set off. David noticed that the winter knights riding heavy motorcycles were leading the way in front. Looking at these people wearing gorgeous “ordinary armor for ceremonial use”, David thought of the motorcycles that could be transformed into battle armor. Could a batch of similar equipment be made?
Because the distance was too close, he didn’t have time to think about more things, and the team had already arrived at the door of the hotel.
Go and greet Princess Sophia, pick up Her Royal Highness the Princess and get in the sports car together, and then drive back to Glamorgan Castle.
The whole process was cumbersome. David thought that if he really married the princess, he might go crazy if he had to go through so much trouble to meet her every day.
Now he can behave normally and perfectly show the etiquette that a count should have. The most important point is that he does not need to maintain this state every day.
All the way to the banquet hall, David personally introduced the main officials in Winter City to the princess. This is the normal process.
There was nothing special about the whole welcome party. The only special thing was that Sofia was a little surprised that there were female senior officials in Winter City.
But she did not say anything during the banquet, showing the most perfect side of the princess of the kingdom in front of everyone.
Until everyone dispersed one after another, the princess expressed that she wanted to take a good look at Winter City. When David was alone, the princess breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tired?”
“Yes!” Sofia glanced at David and winked playfully: “You are also pretending to be very tired!”
The two of them came out this time, and they were no longer sitting in the Ferrari transformed by Dino. In order to facilitate Sofia to have a better view of Winter City, they were riding in a pickup truck transformed by iron sheets.
“Not bad!”
“Are you worried?” Sophia stared at David with her big round eyes, as if she had seen through everything: “Are you worried that you will have to live this kind of life every day in the future?”
“Yes.” David looked at the princess next to him, who still had a little childish face. He suddenly realized that this young princess was probably not as “childish” as she looked on the surface.
“Don’t worry, in fact, when my father and mother are together, there are not so many messy etiquettes.” Sophia looked at David and realized that these words seemed inappropriate to say: “Well, I mean, you don’t act like this when you are with your close people, right!”
“No!”
“That’s right!” Sophia looked like “I’m right, right!”, but her face was obviously a little disappointed. David’s answer clearly revealed a message: he already had someone close to him.
David’s straightforward statement actually hoped that Princess Sophia would “back off when faced with difficulties”.
Although His Majesty the King announced that he was going to marry the princess to the Earl of Glamorgan, if Princess Sophia herself expressed her resistance to this marriage, it would not be a problem for His Majesty to take back his previous words.
It was the princess who took the initiative to reject the marriage, and it would not have any impact on the dignity of the royal family. At most, the earl David would be ridiculed by other nobles for a while. What
bothered David was that Sophia was not prepared to reject the marriage.
