Although Blanche has a bad reputation outside, she has the royal blood of Alduin flowing in her body and represents the royal family wherever she goes.

So when the nobles first came across this information, in addition to their anticipation, they also speculated on the intentions of the royal family and His Majesty Bruno.

"Father, welcome to Wushanbao."

At the head of a luxurious convoy, Earl Orson Hyde of Black Python City arrived at Wushan Castle in the evening of the 26th. After receiving the report, Lady Diane immediately went forward to greet him with Breton.

"Grandpa, welcome to Wushan Castle!" Bretton also followed.

"Haha, long time no see, dear!"

Orson strode over and stroked Brayton's head affectionately.

"Compared to last time, you seem to have grown taller. Your growth is a continuation of the glory of the Wushan family, not bad!"

He is actually already seventy years old this year, but unlike Lu Lans, he is in very good mental state and looks no different from a middle-aged man.

"Diane, Wiggins is not able to move around easily now. As his wife, you must do your best to host this banquet. You must not lose face for the Hyde family, and you must not lose the etiquette of Wushan Fort."

He walked up to his daughter and gave her a brief hug, patting her on the back and saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

Dai Anni smiled and said, "Don't worry, father. Everything is arranged here. It's getting dark. Please follow me into the castle."

With the arrival of the heavyweight figure Earl Orson, basically all the nobles in Wushan City who were supposed to come had arrived.

"grown ups."

Knight Laurent, who had been following Breton, walked to Orson's side and said, "Not long ago, the Marquis revealed that Princess Blanche will arrive at Wushan Castle tomorrow, and Roning will be in charge of the reception."

"Thank you for informing Sir Laurent. I already know about this matter."

Orson's expression did not change. "The Marquis's reputation is well-known, and his birthday has attracted much attention. It can be predicted that Wushan Fort will be very grand and lively the day after tomorrow!"

“Like everyone else, I’m looking forward to it!”

Led by Diane, Orson first went to pay a visit to Rulans, which was the etiquette that a vassal should follow.

He then stayed in an independent small villa, which was a courtesy of Wushan Castle to Earl Orson.

Here, Orson had friendly greetings and exchanges with many nobles, and it was very lively.

"Ronin, why don't you go meet Count Orson? It's very lively there!"

McKinney sat on the swing in the yard, swaying gently as a maid pushed it slowly.

She couldn't quite understand her brother now. Wushan Castle was so lively, but Luo Ning was alone in the yard waving his sword.

Even if I don't go to see Orson, at least I can communicate with other nobles.

"Why would I go see him?"

Roning simply swung the sword and practiced basic steps.

If McKinney hadn't insisted on chatting with him more, he would be learning those fighting skills and magic now.

"He and I are both vassals of my grandfather. If there is no interest or communication, I don't need to take the initiative to visit him."

Luo Ning thrust his sword fiercely with such speed that it made a sound of breaking through the air.

McKinney was shocked by the sword. "Your swordsmanship seems to be very good. Who did you learn from?"

"With my knights, Macon and Rydar."

McKinney couldn't help but look at the tall knight who had been standing not far away on the opposite side. From what Kabir said, this McKinney seemed to be no simple person.

She had been with Kabir for many years and rarely heard him make such comments about others.

It was rare for her younger brother to have two very unusual knight followers at once.

"You're right. I can't stand that old man either."

McKinney tilted her head to look at Roning, as if worried that her brother didn't know what happened in the past.

"In the early years, Orson was not Grandpa's follower. It was only before the Battle of Misty City that he lost to Grandpa in the Knights' Tournament. According to the bet, the loser would be loyal to the winner, so he became Grandpa's follower."

Luo Ning paused, "Is there anything else?"

He carefully searched the memory in his mind and found that his memory of this incident was vague. He didn't know whether his predecessor had never tried to understand it, or whether the memory of his predecessor had become increasingly faint.

"He's still not convinced in his heart!"

McKinney complained, "I've wanted to compete with my grandfather many times, saying that we must have a winner."

Luo Ning nodded secretly, this is possible.

If it weren't for the reputation issue, maybe he could just become an earl of the kingdom, right? And...

McKinney had already told him a lot about Count Orson. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was conveying a message to Ronin -

The other party is an enemy, and we must always be on guard and be prepared to respond.

"Sir, Butler Most is here." Tom came in and reported.

McKinney was a little curious. Why was the knight still wearing a mask on his face? Was it because the scar underneath was too hideous and affected his image?

"Come in."

Most walked in, followed by a male servant and a female servant.

"Master Luo Ning, this is the dress that the master prepared for you in advance. You can wear it to receive Princess Blanche tomorrow."

“Wow~”

McKinney jumped off the swing, ran over in surprise, and looked at the clothes with envy.

"This fabric, these jewels, this pattern...it looks like Grandpa spent a lot of time on this dress?"

Most smiled and said, "Master did spend a lot of time preparing, just like Master Luo Ning prepared the silk scarf for Master."

Roning threw the sword to McKen and walked over to take a look.

This should be a dress made of Warcraft leather. It feels rich and delicate to the touch, and is probably not inferior to the fur coat of the Storm Wolf.

"Thank grandpa for me," he said.

Most handed Ronin another piece of parchment and said, "This is the itinerary that the master has planned for you. You can take the princess on a tour in the next few days."

Lu Lans prepared very carefully, even arranging the itinerary.

Luo Ning took it and looked at it. It mentioned scenic spots such as parks and lakes, as well as elegant places such as opera houses and concert halls.

What caught his attention most was that there would be a wonderful beast fight in the Wushan City Colosseum tomorrow afternoon. It was said that the target would be a third-level magical beast.

"I see."

Ronin folded the paper and handed it to McKean.

"You have to work harder!"

McKinney encouraged: "Try to win the princess in one fell swoop and capture her heart!"

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Sister, this is an arranged marriage, not a free love relationship like you and Kabir."

After getting over his initial resistance to the marriage, Roning has calmed down and is even now looking forward to it.

It's not that he was looking forward to a wonderful love affair, but he was looking forward to meeting Princess Blanche as soon as possible and seeing what she looked like.

Time passed quickly, and when the sun rose the next day, a black spot appeared on the southwest horizon.

The black spot grew bigger and bigger, and when it approached Wushan City, a loud cry pierced through the sky and reached Wushan Fort, attracting everyone's attention.

Luo Ning walked out quickly and came to the square in front of Wushan Fort.

At this time, the black spot in the sky has revealed its shape, it is a huge flying bird!

It was swooping down at a very fast speed, and suddenly spread its wings when it was only ten meters above the ground.

In an instant, a huge airflow spread in all directions, its speed dropped to the lowest, and it slowly fell down.

Roning's eyes were always on the giant beast.

With the body and powerful wings of a lion, and the head and sharp claws of an eagle, this creature's feathers shimmer with golden light, exuding an irresistible majesty.

Griffin.

It is an extremely brave and proud creature.

It possesses powerful strength and excellent flying ability, which made it once the invincible overlord of the sky.

At this moment, Ronin was moved - by this griffin.

He also wanted to have a flying mount like this.

But it is said that the number of nobles who own griffins is extremely limited, and only the royal family and some grand dukes are well-known.

Moster reminded him, "Master, this is the vanguard griffin knight of the Royal Sky Guard. His arrival means that the princess's team will arrive soon."

"Let all the nobles get ready to come out to welcome us!" said Roning.

Roning looked down at his clothes, and McKinney helped him adjust the position of his collar and bow tie.

He strode forward.

Every Griffin Knight has a special status, and Wushan Castle needs to treat them with courtesy.
