Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 296



[Chapter 296 Feeling Fat]

Looking at the little girl in the image, David’s increasingly powerful memory quickly found the corresponding identity. This was obviously Sansa Stark, the Stark family known as the Three Idiots.

“Good guy, are you putting up a new flag for me before leaving?”

In any case, since everyone is here, the necessary procedures must be followed. Since I am on the plane, I have to give the work of explaining various basic issues to Sansa Stark to Eva. In fact

, even if I stay in Winter City, I will let Eva do this kind of work, because Sansa is just a little girl, and letting a woman explain the situation to her can make her let down her guard faster.

“Is this a newcomer?”

Although David’s actions were very covert, as a lord, no one would deliberately eavesdrop on his conversations, but Laura was next to him, so she still saw it clearly.

“What’s the origin?”

Now it’s not just Laura, many people in Winter City have this consensus: if a newcomer comes, if you don’t know the other party’s identity, just ask David directly, and David will most likely give a reliable answer at the first time.

“The eldest daughter of Ed Stark, Lord of the North of Westeros and Duke of Winterfell.”

“…” Laura was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then began to complain: “This identity is very interesting!”

Fortunately, Winterfell and Winterfell are not homophones in the common language of Brunnia, otherwise it would be more “interesting”.

Laura then asked David what information he should “search for” to better understand the information of this newcomer? As a result, he got the name of a novel.

“Got it!”

The Quinjet flew across the sky at high speed, and the scenery on the ground moved and changed rapidly. Not long after, they saw the capital of Tiran appear on the horizon and approached it rapidly.

“It’s coming.”

David signaled Floyd to remind Baron Soken, who was riding another Quinjet, that they had arrived at the capital of Tiran and were about to land on the open space in front of the gate of the castle fortress, and asked Baron Soken to get ready.

As for David, he stood up and adjusted his dress, and then looked at Princess Sofia, who had been standing next to the driver’s seat and always kept a lookout.

“Your Highness, we are preparing to land.”

“Oh!” Princess Sofia also knew that there was nothing to see next, so she had to quickly check her clothes and appearance to avoid being scolded by her father and mother.

“What are the arrangements after landing?” Laura looked at the people around her. The Quinjet was mainly David, Laura herself, Princess Sofia and her personal guards Magnolia, Sylvanas, Jaina, and Floyd.

Elias accompanied Baron Soken in another Quinjet, and another fighter was carrying soldiers from the Winter Knights and Pastor Casillas.

There was also the logistics mechanic Michaela, who was there to ensure that the power armor and fighters could be repaired in time when they malfunctioned.

“Baron Soken will report to His Majesty the King. Princess Sophia and I will report to His Majesty the King. You…” David looked at everyone. Even if he was a count, he couldn’t go to meet the king with a group of fully armed people. “Wait for me on the fighter plane first!”

If they took a car to the city, they could find a place to stay first, settle everyone down, and then report to His Majesty the King.

David and his team flew here directly by plane and landed directly in front of the fortress.

“Let Magnolia take everyone to the old house of the Stewart family.” Princess Sophia tidied her appearance and said that she could help: “The mansion has been empty, but there are servants cleaning it every day.”

That was the house her mother inherited before she married her father. After marrying her father, no one lived in the mansion. In the past two years, she transferred it to her name, saying that it was one of her dowry: If Sophia married not far away, or even married a descendant of a noble family in the capital, this mansion would become her new home, or her residence when she returned to the capital to visit relatives.

In other words, Sofia is the current owner of the house, so she can arrange David’s companions and subordinates to go there without asking her mother.

“That’s it!”

David didn’t bother to be polite with Sofia. During this period of time, he was sure that Princess Sofia had already recognized him and Winter City, and it was impossible for her to choose anyone else.

Seeing that David did not refuse and accepted her suggestion straightforwardly, Princess Sofia was also very happy and gave David a sweet smile.

While the two people were discussing the next arrangements, Baron Willy-Sorken was still in a daze on another Quinjet.

When he learned that the Earl of Glamorgan had confirmed the departure date, he was very happy. He could finally enjoy the soft and comfortable bed and have a good sleep.

But when he woke up the next day, he was reminded that he had to wear the formal dress to meet His Majesty the King.

At this time, Baron Soken was still confused.

Under normal circumstances, it would take a lot of time to travel from Winter City to King Dilan. Although it was not the coldest time of the year recently, you certainly couldn’t wear formal clothes when you were sleeping outdoors.

However, Elias Parker, the etiquette officer of Winter City, made a very formal request and told him: “If everything goes well, you can enter the royal city to meet His Majesty the King before noon.”

This made him full of questions, wondering if Winter City had some kind of teleportation magic that could allow them to quickly reach the capital?

Unexpectedly, after he was dressed and ready, the Earl of Glamorgan in Winter City led them to the Winter Camp.

What was he doing?

Baron Soken felt a layer of cold sweat on his back, worried that the Lord of Winter City was going to sacrifice him!

Fortunately, what happened next was not that bad. He just followed the etiquette officer Elias and entered the belly of a giant gray metal bird.

Looking to the side, he saw that the Earl of Glamorgan had also boarded one of the giant metal birds, and he was relieved: it seemed that this was a special vehicle produced by Winter City. He thought of the “flying dragon” mentioned in the intelligence, but he didn’t expect that this thing could also carry people.

After boarding this giant bird called “Quinjet”, except for a little discomfort when taking off at the beginning, Baron Soken didn’t feel any discomfort.

He could also walk to the unmanned driving seat and look at the scenery passing by quickly on the ground through the glass.

At this speed, no wonder he said that he could meet His Majesty the King before noon today.

Then, he was here, staring blankly at the fighter planes landing in front of the fortress gate that he was very familiar with.

Three Quinjet fighters landed in front of the fortress gate from the air. Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of many people. When the fighter planes stopped and opened the hatch, and many heavily armored soldiers walked out of them, the Tilan soldiers who had already surrounded them and were holding crossbows almost launched an attack first.

Fortunately, the guard knight in charge of guarding the main gate today recognized Princess Sophia and Baron Willy-Lakeen, and stopped his soldiers.

“Don’t shoot! Stay alert!”

When it was confirmed that these people were Baron Glamorgan from the north and his Winter Knights, the guard knight in charge ordered the soldiers to put away their weapons.

“I’m very sorry, Princess!”

The guard knight had nothing to apologize to Earl Glamorgan and Baron Socken. Who told you to ride this thing to the gate of the fortress without saying hello?

But the situation of Her Royal Highness was different. After all, she was going home!

“It doesn’t matter.”

The guard knight ordered the soldiers to return to their posts, and then glanced at the three gray giant birds that flew back to the sky, and the pink giant bird that had been circling in the air.

When the guard knight came to his senses, Her Royal Highness, Earl Glamorgan and Baron Socken had already entered the fortress.

And those heavily armored knights who covered themselves tightly and made dull sounds with every step, had also walked far away.

Swallowing his saliva silently, he doubted whether he and his soldiers could withstand the attack of these heavily armored knights: How strong a warrior must be to be able to move freely in such heavy armor? There is

also a giant bird that can carry so many people in the sky. These people came from the northernmost part of the Kingdom of Tiran, but they arrived earlier than many lords. This shows the speed of this giant bird.

“It would be great if the Guards Knights could also have such a giant bird…”

“It would be great if there was also a Quinjet in the capital.” Sophia and the Guards Knights had similar ideas: “This way my mother can visit me in Winter City at any time.”

“If His Majesty the King wants it.” David dared to give it to him, but he was afraid that His Majesty the King would not dare to sit on it.

Sophia also thought of her uncle, the Earl of Sutton-Stewart: “My uncle should also want one, but don’t give it to him for free, you can let him buy it with money.”

“…”

Is this for her uncle? Or is it to help David cheat his family? For a moment, David didn’t know which one was the correct answer?

At this time, the etiquette officer of the royal capital came to inform David that His Majesty the King asked the Earl of Glamorgan and Princess Sophia to wait in the back garden, and His Majesty the King would come later.

“I’ll take you there.” Sophia knew the way to the back garden, of course, and she didn’t need the etiquette officer to lead her. She led David to find the place by herself.

Sophia’s mother, the current queen of the Kingdom of Tilan, Rosie Stewart, was waiting for her daughter in the back garden.

The mother and daughter hugged each other happily at first, and then Rosie held her daughter’s face and looked at her carefully, as if she wanted to see if her daughter had suffered.

After all, Winter City is located on the northernmost border of the Kingdom of Tilan, which is not a good place. Even

though countless people told her that Winter City was well built by the Earl of Glamorgan, and many facilities in the city were even better than those in the royal capital, she still had to measure it with her own hands before she believed it: “It seems that you are living well in Winter City, and you have gained weight.”
