As time went by, Krober's cheeks slowly calmed down, and the slight blush on his face disappeared, returning to his previous state.
As if he realized his own gaffe, he quickly turned his gaze away from the Grand Duke.
I muttered to myself:
"What the hell, how could I have stared at the Grand Duke in such a trance just now?"
If the Grand Duke really investigates, I'm afraid I'll be severely punished.
Fortunately, the Grand Duke did not care about these details, which made Krober secretly relieved.
On the other hand, Veronica noticed that her "little rose" no longer dared to pay attention to her because of shyness. She couldn't help but feel that it was getting more and more interesting, and the desire to play a trick on her became stronger and stronger.
But there was still important things to do right now, so she decided to finish the official business at hand first.
In the face of national affairs, even teasing Little Rose has to be filmed afterwards.
(After all, he became a dragon knight on his own and founded a country. As a founding monarch, he still needs to have this basic quality.)
When I opened the second letter, it was, by chance, a letter from Earl Daniel, which said that a letter had arrived from the border territory.
The content is roughly like this:
Nobles from all over the country responded to the Grand Duke's call for conscription like a tide. The vast majority of them had already completed the war mobilization work, and they only needed to wait two to three days before they could all gather in the two earldoms in the border areas - the Moonlight Mushroom Family and the Golden Rose Family.
At this moment, everyone was waiting for the Grand Duke to give orders to determine the final assembly point.
When Veronica glanced at Krober, who was standing on her right and pretending to be diligent in his duty, she also rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking of something.
She waved the quill in her hand without hesitation, and quickly and decisively set the gathering place at the Crown City of the Golden Rose Family.
From here, the army will advance westward along the Rose Avenue, eventually reaching the Hilde Fortress and directly approaching the Moi Forest.
Before long, a military order detailing the marching route and assembly point appeared on paper.
After carefully checking that everything was correct, Veronica put the letter into the envelope.
Then she reached out and took down an object that looked like an exquisite seal hanging around her waist.
With a soft "bang" sound, she pressed the stamp on the envelope forcefully.
In an instant, a lifelike fire seal carved with a golden dragon head appeared clearly on the surface of the envelope, symbolizing that it was a handwritten letter written by the Grand Duke.
She placed the letter on the table and instructed Krober on her right:
"Xiaomei..."
Veronica seemed to feel that this was not a good way to say it, so she finally chose a more formal title.
"Sir Krober, take this letter to the steward of the fort and have him deliver it to the Flower Crown City of the Golden Rose Family."
"yes!"
Krober accepted the order immediately. He wanted to leave the hall quickly because the atmosphere was too weird. He felt like some monster was staring at him.
After taking the letter, Krober almost ran out of the throne room.
But he didn't notice that there was a pair of smiling eyes watching his back.
After leaving the hall, Krober still chose to wear his helmet. Although Saint Gold Castle was extremely safe, the sense of security after wearing the helmet was incomparable to anything else.
In the butler's room in the barbican.
"You mean to say that this is the letter the Grand Duke himself asked you to deliver?"
The butler asked the knight in front of him with a look of surprise. You know, usually the Grand Duke's office is taken care of by only a few personal maids, and usually they are the ones who convey the Grand Duke's orders on his behalf.
Krober nodded and pointed to the fire seal on the letter, which was engraved with a golden dragon head.
"Look at this symbol. It symbolizes the Grand Duke himself. You've been in the castle for so many years, don't you even know this?"
The butler shook his head. How could he not know? He just didn't know why it was Krober who came to deliver the message.
You must know that the Dragon Breath Knights all have important responsibilities and perform their duties.
On weekdays, they are either busy patrolling the surroundings or standing guard at their posts, but this definitely does not include delivering messages!
Now, a Dragon Breath Knight has appeared to be in charge of delivering messages, and I heard that he just took up the post yesterday! How could this not be surprising?
This servant, who had worked in the castle for many years, had already developed a unique and accurate intuition with his keen insight and long-term accumulated experience.
After all, the Grand Duke also pays great attention to the way of governing his subordinates. The servants are responsible for the materials, finances, and intelligence of the castle, while the Knights are only responsible for military operations such as patrolling and standing guard. The Grand Duke will not allow the Knights to get involved in intelligence.
It's not that we don't trust the loyalty of the Knights, but we need to maintain a balance and avoid risks. After all, not everyone comes to St. Gold Castle with the idea of swearing allegiance to the Grand Duke.
At this moment, facing this somewhat mysterious Dragon Breath Knight and the message behind this incident, he secretly thought in his heart:
"The Grand Duke must hold this young man in high regard, otherwise why would he send him to deliver the letter?"
Thinking of this, the butler showed a smile of understanding on his face, as if he had found the key to solving the problem, and he became relaxed and happy.
"This way, Sir Krober. The messenger ravens are kept here by the tower. I will select for you the ones that normally ply the Crow Road in Flower Crown City."
After saying that, the butler found a cage from a pile of carrier crows and placed the letter in a feather-covered area between the crow's wings.
