Oh! ? So there is a reward, then you should remind me of this kind of news more often in the future, oh my, you too, why didn’t you tell me about the reward earlier?

Hearing that there was a reward, De Lassel was overjoyed.

[System prompt: I have been wanting to tell you for a long time, but who knew that you, a useless fool, have not yet found a good partner with a friendship level of 100. I have also been suffering from the lack of a good opportunity to explain.]

You... well, okay, very good. This time, the system's attack left De La Serre no room to retort.

While chatting and laughing, the two of them were still on their way. At this time, they had arrived at the central capital of the Kugit Khanate, the main entrance of the Lord's Hall of Turga.

I have to say that the style of the lobby here is very different from that of Uxhall and has a unique feel.

Here are round towers, narrow windows, semicircular arches, low domes and door frames that are raised layer by layer for decoration.

The extensive use of columns and vaults of various shapes achieves an aesthetic effect that is solid, heavy, balanced, stable, and powerful.

The narrow windows form a sharp contrast with the vast space inside, making the interior of the castle dim and extremely deep, giving people a sense of mystery and darkness.

This is the richest and oldest town on the grassland. Just when the baron was still admiring the scenery of Turga, the central capital of the Kugit Khanate, the words of Queen Ronnie brought him back to his senses.

"Baron, put away your silly expression, now we are going to get down to business. We still don't know what happened here and why the flag was changed, so when we go in, I will speak first, and you don't say anything yet."

"Just as I wish, I will keep quiet." De La Serre nodded honestly and respectfully.

When the guard at the Lord's Hall saw that it was the Emperor Lonnie who came with his men, he opened the door and greeted them:

"Good afternoon, honorable Ms. Ronnie, welcome back."

Queen Ronnie did not reply, but nodded slightly, then walked in with the baron.

Soon, the Valkyrie Tianyan and several ministers appeared in front of the two.

De Lassel looked around cautiously, but did not sense any man in the hall with the aura of a king or dressed elegantly.

At this moment, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the speculation of the Emperor Lonnie came true? Did the Valkyrie Tianyan really get the throne of the king?

At this time, the Pumping Queen Ronnie took the lead and said:

"Sister... ahem, uh... Lady Valkyrie, I'm back, and I brought a lord from the Kingdom of Swadia with me. I think you know this baron."

She instinctively called her sister, but then she realized that this was a rather solemn moment. After all, several ministers of the kingdom were present, so it would be better to address her in a more rigorous way.

Different from her usual cold and aloof image, the Valkyrie Tianyan now had a smile on her face and replied:

"Well, more than just knowing him, a while ago, I thought about him day and night, and I wished he would appear in front of me so that I could torture him."

"In that case, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Lord Valkyrie. He came here to surrender to us. I don't think you will mistreat your future subordinates, right?"

Chuchu's words shocked all the ministers present. At the same time, the Valkyrie Tianyan was also very interested and continued:

"Oh? That's new, De La Serre. Why surrender? Weren't you quite arrogant when we last met at Uxhall?"

"Because he..."

"Alright, I want to hear what he has to say."

Chu Chu was about to defend the Baron but was interrupted by the Valkyrie Tian Yan.

Therefore, De La Serre could only speak for himself:

"I am an honest man. I have come all the way here to surrender, which is enough to prove my sincerity. I can also tell you the truth, Lord Valkyrie, but only to you."

The baron meant that there were too many people here, too many ministers and confidants, and such important news could not be talked about casually.

The Valkyrie Tianyan understood what she meant, and made a gesture to several ministers, then said:

"Everyone, please withdraw now. As for the decree I just issued, I want to hear your response at the meeting tomorrow morning."

"As you command, Your Majesty the Goddess." Several ministers looked solemn, and it seemed that the task was arduous. After replying in unison, they hurried away.

Now, in the huge lord's hall, there are only three people left: Chuchu, Valkyrie and the Baron.

After the crowds had left, De La Serre also relaxed, found a chair to sit down, and talked to himself. He drank the coffee next to the chair and spoke slowly:

"Your Majesty, this title is quite noble. But I am still used to calling you Valkyrie. Well, I will tell you the truth. I surrendered because I was forced to do so. I was forced by the King of Swadia."

"From what I know, the King of Swadia, Harlaus X, doesn't seem to like men and doesn't have a preference for men. What is he forcing you to do?"

"Valkyrie, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your mind has become dirty! Why do you think in that direction... He forced me to hand over the dragon, otherwise he would kill my whole family."

"So hateful? He seems to be a bad old man. But... De La Cel, I like your dragon very much, too. How do you know that I won't force you to hand it over after you surrender to me?"

Hearing what the Valkyrie Tianyan said, the Baron's face darkened, and he immediately replied:

"I'm sorry, but I won't give it to you. I would rather lower my status and give up my title of earl and become a villager than give up my dragon and my family. It seems I came to the wrong place. I didn't expect my sincerity to result in such a result. Goodbye."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

"De La Serre, you take yourself too seriously, don't you? You can come here as you please and leave as you please? Someone come here!"

As the Valkyrie Tianyan was speaking, she was about to order the guards to surround the baron.

At the critical moment, the Queen Luo Nier stepped forward and said:

"Sister, don't be so reckless. Just think about it, if it were you, you wouldn't be willing to hand it over. If De Lassel went to another kingdom, it would be a loss for us."

The Valkyrie Tian Yan snorted coldly: "Even if he surrenders to another kingdom, he won't be forced to hand over the dragon!? I don't believe that he can live in peace with someone else."

"Sister, you are right. Anyone on this continent would covet his dragon. It is the most feared fighting force. But with De Lassel's strength, he can definitely reach some kind of contract with others."

"What kind of contract?" Valkyrie Tianyan was a little confused.
