[Chapter 297 I don’t know if it counts as a family dinner lunch]

Rosie Stewart held her daughter in her arms, but glanced at the “maid” beside her.

This action was very covert, but it could not escape David’s perception. Even though the maid was placing drinks and fruit cakes for David at this time, blocking his sight, David could still “see” the “maid” gently shaking her head at Her Majesty the Queen.

Rosie seemed to be secretly relieved after seeing this, and then whispered something in her daughter’s ear, causing Sophia’s face to turn red instantly.

David didn’t want to eavesdrop, but his perception ability was too strong now. At such a close distance, it was useless to lower his voice.

“During the time you were in Winter City, did David treat you…”

“No.”

“Really?”

“Really!”

“Does this David look down on our Sophia?”

“Mom…”

David looked at the fruit in front of him carefully, pretending that he didn’t hear anything.

Soon, Her Royal Highness Queen Rosie Stewart finished greeting her daughter. She was relieved to know that her daughter had not suffered in Winter City and was living happily. At the same time, she also felt that Lord David Glamorgan looked much more pleasing to the eye.

“You have arrived at the capital so quickly. Lord Glamorgan must have had a hard time on the way.” As soon as

the queen finished speaking, Sophia leaned over to her mother’s ear to explain.

After hearing Sophia’s words, Rosie was very surprised. She couldn’t imagine what the so-called giant metal bird looked like? And how did it fly from the edge of the northern plains to the capital of the Kingdom of Tiran in less than half a day?

Sophia began to describe the various novel things in Winter City to her mother. Queen Rosie’s face was full of wonder. David continued to quietly act as a sculpture beside her.

This state lasted until His Majesty King Abelson arrived.

A simple greeting, followed by greetings between father and daughter, David continued to act as a sculpture.

It was not until the same process was repeated that His Majesty the King remembered that David was sitting next to him!

“The Earl of Glamorgan is here so quickly.”

Regardless of the reason, after his summons was issued, David, the most remote lord of the Kingdom of Tiran, arrived in such a short time. As a king, he would certainly be very happy.

No matter how many magical things there are in Winter City and how many inexplicable secrets there are, judging by the attitude David Glamorgan has shown so far, the new Earl has shown enough respect for the Kingdom of Tiran and his Majesty the King.

It is worth sending his precious daughter to Winter City. Abelson was in a good mood and directly invited David to stay for lunch. After a brief chat with Sophia, he even said, “We are all family.”

Abelson has been king for so many years and has a wealth of experience in observing and guessing the true thoughts of others.

Although he did not explicitly ask his daughter what she thought, after watching for a while and chatting briefly, he knew that his daughter had already identified the Earl of Glamorgan.

Sophia brought the Earl of Glamorgan directly to the royal city and placed the Earl of Glamorgan’s men in the old house of the Stewart family. It can also be seen that the Earl did not resist marrying his daughter.

In other words, it was only a matter of time before the Earl of Glamorgan became his son-in-law.

In addition, like many ordinary parents, Abelson was also worried that his daughter was at a disadvantage.

During the greeting, he took the time to look at his wife. The tacit understanding developed by the couple for many years allowed him to get a reassuring answer from his wife immediately.

At the same time, he also complained in his heart: Is my daughter so unattractive? This David didn’t do anything? Doesn’t the intelligence show that this young man has a rich private life? Is it because it is too rich?

He can only understand that although this young man is fickle, he knows the importance and knows what can and cannot be done.

This made Abelson’s evaluation of David even higher, and he began to consider whether to wait until the northern plains are stable enough to let David-Earl of Glamorgan stay in the royal capital?

“Is the threat of orcs in the Northern Plains still serious?” Because of this thought, Abelson began to ask questions about the orcs, wanting to know how far the war between Winter City and the orcs had progressed: “I heard that not long ago Winter City sent almost all of its troops to fight a great battle with the orcs.”

David did not report this battle to the capital, which means that Abelson got the information from other channels.

David was not surprised by this. He even knew that there were intelligence personnel in the capital of Tiran who wanted to sign up to join the Winter Knights. These people were basically on the surveillance list of the Winter City intelligence department.

“The army of Winter City is conducting a thorough cleanup of the orcs on the Northern Plains.” The Winter Knights and the Quinjet have been pulled out, so David does not need to hide it anymore and can show some muscles appropriately.

“Oh! After the orcs are cleared out, does the Earl of Glamorgan have a detailed plan for the development of the Northern Plains?”

“I haven’t thought about it in detail, but we can build a port city in the easternmost part of the northern plain.” David will definitely build a city there. Just for the outlet to the sea, he has to build a city there.

“Port?” Abelson didn’t know that the Winter River next to Winter City could also lead to the sea. From this, it can be seen that the upper echelons of Winter City still have a very good blockade of information. The fact that the Winter River can go to the sea is still only known by the top leaders: “It seems that the Kingdom of Tilan can finally get its first seaport

.” The Kingdom of Tilan is an inland kingdom that has never been able to get an outlet to the sea. It once had the opportunity to annex part of the territory of the Sodurunma Empire and then obtain a coastline, but it was unfortunately driven back to the inland by the Sodurunma Empire.

This happened during the reign of Abelson’s father, so he has a little obsession with the seaport.

Then Abelson asked David how many people he brought to the capital this time?

When he learned that David brought ten winter knights, Abelson showed great interest: “I heard about the power of the winter knights from Sutton. I am looking forward to seeing the scene of the winter knights representing the Kingdom of Tiran going to war.”

“You will see it soon, Your Majesty.”

Abelson smiled. He found that he still underestimated the Earl of Glamorgan. The young earl was much smarter than many old lords.

“Actually, I am not so anxious. It’s okay to come a little later.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

After a few simple conversations, Abelson began to talk about crops, livestock and other issues in Winter City, and asked what special crops were there in Winter City?

At this time, Sophia, who had been silent all the time, became energetic in an instant and introduced various delicacies in Winter City to her father.

In addition to high-yield crops such as potatoes, Winter City also has a crop called corn, which has an equally amazing yield. Sophia has recently become fascinated by rice, a staple food.

Originally only planted in small quantities, mainly crops that the lords prefer to eat, it has gradually been placed on the tables of most people and has become one of the main foods for the people of Winter City.

As for fruits, since Sophia had only spent one winter in Winter City, she didn’t know how many kinds of fruits there were in Winter City. But even in winter, there was no need to worry about not having fruits to eat in Glamorgan Castle.

Listening to his daughter’s constant talk about the novel dishes she had eaten in Winter City, Abelson smiled and said, “No wonder you’ve gained weight!”

“…”

After being repeatedly told by her parents that she was fat, Sophia began to doubt whether she had really gained a lot of weight. She pressed her cheeks with her hands, and then pinched her waist with her hands, as if she wanted to try to pinch the meat. As a result, she was glared at by her mother, so she had to put her hands away and sit there obediently.

After a meal, David’s work of reporting to His Majesty the King was also over. Normally, he could leave the palace and go directly back to his own place, and then wait for the arrival of other lords and the next order from His Majesty the King.

Sophia should stay in the palace, but she stood up and prepared to leave, which surprised David: “You’re not staying?”

“Do you know the way to the Stewart’s old house?”

It sounds reasonable, but the palace can send anyone to show him the way, right? Even if His Majesty the King doesn’t send anyone, won’t he ask himself?

But Sophia is willing to lead the way. Judging from the looks of the King and Queen, it seems that they are not ready to leave their daughter behind.

He didn’t say anything, bowed to the King and Queen, and left the palace with Sophia.

Walking out of the main gate of the palace, there was a carriage waiting here. After helping Princess Sophia get on the carriage and sitting on it himself, David looked at the blushing princess and said, “I thought you would stay in the palace and talk to your parents more.”

“I will stay in the capital for a while, and I can come and chat with my father and mother every day!”

Although they haven’t officially married yet, Sophia’s posture seems to have treated herself as a spilled water.

The carriage swayed towards the Stewart family’s old house. David found the surrounding environment a little familiar through the car window. It seemed that this place was very close to Earl Sutton-Stewart’s house?

“Just opposite my uncle’s house.”

“…”

The two manors were separated by a road, which made it convenient for the family to move back and forth.

Now it was also convenient for Earl Sutton-Stewart to come and watch the fun. When David arrived, Sutton-Stewart was curiously looking at the blizzard power armor on Floyd.

After seeing David coming back, he didn’t even say hello to Her Royal Highness the Princess. He walked over and patted David’s shoulder heavily: “When you were in Winter City, the heavy armor you showed was not the one you have now, right? Is there a better one hidden in Winter City?”
