Three griffins stopped opposite the royal griffin team. They spread their wings to each other and made low chirping sounds, which seemed to reveal threats and warnings.
Fortunately, these griffins are professionally trained mounts, and they are not like buffaloes who have the urge to fight when they meet.
A tall man jumped down from the back of the leading white griffin.
He was not wearing armor like the two knights behind him, but was wearing a well-fitting and gorgeous dress.
With golden brown hair and lavender pupils, there is no doubt that this man is Jesus, the younger brother of His Majesty Bruno.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect it to be so lively here.”
Jesus strode forward, his voice extremely loud and hearty.
"Just now when I was looking up from the sky, I thought everyone was here to welcome me. Now it seems that everyone is here to welcome my niece."
Roning took a step forward, and Blanche let go of her hand just in time.
"Wushan Castle also welcomes you, Lord Earl of Moonlight Valley."
Jesus glanced at Roning and the smile on his face turned into displeasure.
"I say, Wushanbao is a marquisate family after all. It's too rude to arrange a young man like you to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess for such a big occasion, isn't it?"
Jesus actually questioned Roning in a lecturing tone in front of all the nobles. This was unexpected not only to Roning, but also to many nobles.
You know, in many occasions, especially large public occasions, nobles maintain etiquette.
However, as the saying goes, "mind your own business", most people, in addition to being surprised, looked at Roning with amusement as if they were watching a show.
Faced with such a situation, how would this baron from the mountains respond? In fact, Lu Lansi could come forward to welcome the princess, or he could not.
Although Blanche is a princess and Ruland is a marquis, there is not much difference between their status.
You can answer it or not.
Luo Ning smiled slightly and explained in a leisurely tone: "Grandpa said that young people can talk about more things together, so he arranged for me to receive you. If the hospitality is not good enough, please forgive me, Lord Earl."
"Even if a young person is arranged, it should be Breton who has the right of inheritance, right?"
Jesus followed up Ronin's words and said, "Is Lulansi going to violate the laws passed down by the empire and establish two heirs at the same time?"
Suddenly, an inexplicable atmosphere of tension spread, and many nobles looked sideways, wondering what on earth was Count Jesus doing here?
In the crowd, Bretton wanted to rush up to defend Roning, but was stopped by Dai Anni, "You can't help Roning in this situation."
She had no idea what was going on. In the past, when Lulans had birthday parties, Jesus would never make a special trip to come.
After all, the other party is the King's younger brother. Even if he doesn't go to the palace on days like the New Year, there are still many things to take care of in his territory.
She was really surprised that Jesus came here.
Luo Ning was naturally unhappy. If he were on Earth, he would have started to fight back long ago.
Only now he couldn't.
He now represents Wushanbao and Lulans. Even if he is provoked, he must try his best to maintain his proper demeanor and etiquette.
"Breton is still young, so it is more appropriate for me, who is about the same age as Her Royal Highness, to greet him."
He looked at the other person straight in the eye, without any nervousness or fear on his face, and said in a low voice, "Count Jesus, you and my grandfather are both vassals of the kingdom. There are some things that cannot be said casually, even as a joke."
Jesus' eyes were slightly cold. What did this kid mean by that? Threatening him? "I heard that you have changed a lot. Today I see that it is true."
At this time, Princess Blanche said, "Uncle Jesus, please follow me into the castle."
The atmosphere became relaxed.
Jesus laughed and walked past Ronin, "Dear Blanche, I didn't expect to see you here."
"The last time I saw you was about six years ago. At that time, you were only as tall as my shoulders. Now you are almost as tall as me."
The two men greeted each other cheerfully, and then Jesus said hello to the nobles on both sides of the road, and entered Wushan Castle surrounded by a group of people.
Roning still stood beside Blanche, but this time he paid more attention to Jesus. His intuition told him that this man came here to cause trouble.
From the moment he landed, Jesus had an attitude of usurping the throne. Not only was he arrogant in his attitude towards Ronin, he also gradually stole the limelight from Blanche, as if he had become the protagonist of the day.
If you don’t know, you might think that this welcome party was hosted for Jesus.
Roning thought about the possibility of the other party coming here.
Count Jesus's territory, Moonlight Valley, is located in the southwest of Wushan Territory. To its west is the Royal Territory, to its north is the Howling Sea, to its south is a relatively chaotic area, and to its east is adjacent to the Pointed Horn City of Wushan Territory.
His Majesty King Bruno has two younger brothers: Jesus and Ferrens.
Surprisingly enough, Ferens was the master of the Duchy of Ferensburg and the Grand Duke; Jesus was not only not a duke, he was not even a marquis, but only a count.
Although the scenery of Moonlight Valley is very nice, it is hard to believe that there is no reason behind such an arrangement.
In addition to this information, Roning also noticed that the Polante bandit group that seemed to be troubling Wushan Territory was active in the southwest area.
Is Count Jesus behind this gang of thieves?
After the unexpected episode, the team successfully arrived at the newly decorated auditorium.
Here, Lu Lan Si personally met with Her Royal Highness the Princess and announced that Wushan Castle would hold a banquet tonight to welcome Blanche.
As for Jesus, ever since he entered the auditorium and met Rulands, this guy has behaved very restrained, completely losing his previous aggressive attitude.
After the excitement, Rulans took the other nobles away, leaving only Roning and Blanche in the huge auditorium, and even the guards stayed outside.
In his two lifetimes, Luo Ning had never even been on a blind date, let alone an arranged marriage. To be honest, he felt a little nervous and quite embarrassed.
"that……"
He didn't want the atmosphere to become dull, so he took the initiative to say, "Let me introduce myself again. I'm the eldest grandson of Marquis Wushan, the Baron of Shanlin Town, Luo Ning."
"I know your story."
The corners of Blanche's mouth raised to just the right angle; her smile was neither too ostentatious nor too restrained, making people feel relaxed at a glance.
In fact, only she knew in her heart that she was embarrassed and nervous at the moment.
Ever since the partners of her previous two arranged marriages had both died of illness, rumors had spread that she was unlucky in marriage. In addition, since no one had come to her house to propose marriage in recent years, she had fallen into anxiety and inferiority.
She was obviously a princess of the kingdom, so why did she end up being despised? So this time, when she heard her father say that he was going to marry her to a baron who had been deprived of his right to inherit the title of Marquis, although she was reluctant in her heart, she agreed to come and take a look.
What she didn't expect was that the young baron in front of her was much better than she had imagined. His demeanor, bearing, and on-the-spot reaction were all very good.
"Hillwood Town, what kind of place is that?" she asked.
Luo Ning thought about it seriously and replied with a smile: "It is a remote and barren place, but it has great potential."
This statement may seem quite normal, but it actually explains Roning's situation.
What value does a baron from a remote, barren area have? As for the claim that it has huge development potential, anyone with normal judgment knows how much water this statement has.
He thought Blanche would be surprised or even unhappy when she heard this, but there was no change on her face.
"I believe that with your wisdom, you can definitely bring about tremendous changes there." Blanche smiled.
