Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 60 Di Ya III (1)

"How long are you going to keep this look?" Vigrich asked her.

Just after dawn, the oak leaves in King's Forest swayed in the wind, and the breeze blew through Dia's long hair. The midsummer day was extremely cool in this northern morning.

"What expression?" Di Ya asked coldly without looking at her husband.

The servants of each family lead the hounds and start preparing for today's activities before sunrise.They had already set up a big tent yesterday, and temporarily built a competition venue with wooden piles.

"That's the expression." Vigrich sat on the seat next to Dia. He was wearing a black silk robe and a warm wool cape, "If you have something on your mind, you can tell me, there is no need Keep a straight face there."

Dia looked at her husband with an impatient look on his face.

"You don't want to hear it at all," Dia said.

"If it's about what I said in the drawing room, it's just a bluff," Wigrich explained. "I'm not going to divorce you anyway."

Dia closed her eyes and shook her head, she wanted to cry now, but what was the use?She doesn't want to win the sympathy of others, and no one will sympathize with her.

She originally thought that she could rely on her husband, even if he didn't love herself that much, but at least he would protect his queen.

But she was wrong. In Vigrich's eyes, she would never be as good as his wife, Violet, who had passed away for more than 20 years.She was sure that her husband would not build a shrine to her in Madkalin after his death, and visit her every year to remember her.

"People are watching us," Wigrich sighed, "if it's just a show, don't let other people see how upset you are."

Before the martial arts arena, people began to gather slowly. With the help of his handsome attendant, Marius Jagron the Dazzling, fastened his breastplate. He had a calm expression and a smile on his face, whispering something to his attendant.

Kondrade Welker the "Ruggy Bear" stood in his own camp, gulping from a leather decanter as his squire put his leggings on.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Di Ya agreed to him, because she knew that Vigrich would never let him go until she fulfilled his request.

Monty and Zok also joined Vigrich, Zok ready for the hunt in a tight leather vest, and Monty in his usual black silk tunic and red cape.

"Father, mother." The two greeted each other.

Dia put his eyes on the bear's white beard and bald head, pretending not to hear them.

After meeting in the living room, Zhuo Ke didn't come to her to apologize, and what made her even more sad was that Monty didn't even ask her to say anything. It seemed that he was also on Zhuo Ke's side this time.

"Where's your brother?" Vigrich asked the two brothers.

"He's right there," Chuck replied.

As soon as the words fell, Allen, who was wearing a light blue gown with gold patterns, walked over unhurriedly and sat on Monty's left.

This vast forest was once the favorite of his father Izdor.He would always take his family and his vassals out hunting in the autumn, because that was the mating season for wild boars, and they would be more aggressive. My father liked these long-toothed and whining guys to bring Come challenge.

He and Rudomir would corner a lone boar, provoke it, and kill it with a single blow from their spears when it rushed up.

Dia, Leo, Lozaria and their mother Isabella walked in the forest with the hunting troop under the protection of their followers. Although she couldn't hunt, she saw other people's happiness, She also followed happy.

"My dear sister."

Lozaria came, accompanied by Sigmund and other retainers, and sat on her right.

The younger sister wore a gown of dark silver velvet and a black wool cloak, and she wore a golden lily crown set with red, blue and green gems and pearls.

"Sister." A rare smile appeared on Di Ya's face, and she put her hand on Lozaria's left arm.

It's ridiculous to say that she wanted to find a sense of security in her younger sister. Obviously, as an older sister, she should protect the young queen from harm.

Di Ya didn't dare to ask her sister if she had already thought about her husband, she no longer knew what she expected.

She doesn't want Lozaria to marry Zhuo Ke who killed Leo, but if she rejects Vigrich, God knows what his husband will do.

"What's the matter, sister?" When Di Ya came back to her senses, her right hand was firmly grasping Lozaria's slender forearm.

"It's nothing." Dia quickly let go of his hand and took it back, "I'm worried about Lord Marius Jagoron."

Lozaria looked at Dia with her sapphire-like eyes, and said with a little helplessness: "This is his own challenge. Since Duke Conrad Wilke has agreed, I have no way to refuse."

Except for them who were facing the arena built with wooden stakes, the crowd had surrounded at least three circles on the other three sides.

Marius Jagoron had already put on his armor, which was painted gold, and the breastplate was carved with patterns of wheat, shining dazzlingly in the soft light of the early sun.

His silver-white helmet had a beak-like beak with round holes for ventilation and a slit for his eyes.

He took the long sword from his attendant. The blade was about five feet long and slender, with a golden handle on the cross-shaped hilt.

Kondrade Welk wore armor painted dark blue, with white horseshoes tattooed on his breastplate.He was a full circle larger than his rival Marius Jagron, and he wore a black helmet decorated with a white hood and horns.

What he held in his hand was a giant steel hammer with a wooden pole, about six feet long, with spikes on the top and tail of the hammer.

"I like the weapon of the Duke of Crowfield," Zhuo Ke said excitedly. "Although the rapier has no blade, it can bypass the defense of the plate armor and attack the weakest point."

"You mean, Duke Marius has a chance of winning?" Monty asked Zhuo Ke.

"Well... not nothing." Zhuo Ke said hesitantly, "But Duke Konrad Wilke's warhammer can smash armor with force, and it is longer than that rapier, plus the difference in physique between the two, I don't think Ma Lord Leus Jagoron can win."

"Why is everyone optimistic about that reckless bear?" Monty said with some disappointment.

"But this guy is really arrogant," Zhuoke said. "Who would fight with a helmet that big and two horns?"

"It was passed down from his ancestors," Sigmund Miriam introduced to Zhuo Ke, "The Wilke family once defeated the most vicious tribe in the moldy forest, and these two horns are on the helmet of their leader His ancestors took a fancy to the horn, and brought the helmet and head back to Ironcrown City."

Di Ya pursed her lips, she couldn't appreciate this barbaric way, she just found it intrusive.
