I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

The next day.

Xu Siling rode her horse slowly away from the hillside manor.

People from the two major families in the manor were very happy and excited about Xu Siling escorting Mayfair north to Paris.

But Xu Siling didn't bring any family soldiers on the trip, which made them a little worried.

The people in the manor escorted him out of the hillside, while Ella watched Xu Siling leave with a blank expression. After Xu Siling left, she silently returned to the main house, not knowing what she was doing.

For Xu Siling, he was extremely relieved to have Ella watching over him at home.

Especially since the Adler family has moved to Raya Town and is under his name, this matter will only spread more and more widely. When he comes back from Paris, I believe that many executioner families will join the manor.

Regarding the selection criteria for the executioner family, Xu Siling was not involved. He just left it to Ella to make her own decision.

In other words, he can only rest assured if he leaves such an important matter to Ella.

But I don't know if it was his imagination. Before going out, there were a lot more witches in the manor.

Were there so many witches in Raya before?

Xu Siling did not wear a chainmail robe, but a leather suit, which made it easier to ride a long distance.

Important armor and weapons were all hunched over on another horse.

With elite level reconnaissance, he is no longer afraid of ambushes on the road, or some hidden dangers that are invisible to the outside.

Wearing leather armor is enough to cope with most situations on the road.

But he still wears a burqa over the leather armor, with the coat of arms of the Raya family embroidered on it to indicate his identity.

Ride to the gate of Raya Town.

There are two carriages at the city gate, one is the transport carriage and the other is the noble carriage. It seems that Mayfair has also been prepared.

I rode over and took a look, and found that Enri was wearing armor and had a sword on her waist. She was standing in front of her horse, stroking it wildly and muttering something about what she was doing.

"Nervous, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Let's communicate with the horse."

Enri looked slightly embarrassed and patted the horse again, her eyes pleading.

This trip was going north, but she was with Miss Raya. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of anyone, but she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Miss Raya.

"Miss Raya, are you ready? Get ready for us to go."

"We're ready, but there's something Miss Raya asked me to tell you." Enli mounted the horse and saw that the horse didn't resist much, so she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Raya asked us to take turns leading the way, so Traveling will not be too tiring.”

Xu Siling couldn't help but worry: "Can you do it alone?"

"I'm sure I can do it! As long as there's nothing wrong with my horse." Enri drummed up her confidence and patted her chest, "Give me the horse and get in Miss Raya's carriage."

"Is this appropriate?"

"What's more, Miss Raya also wants us to take turns accompanying her to relieve her boredom, otherwise it would be boring to be alone in the car."

Seeing this, Xu Siling was too lazy to say anything. After handing all the horses to An Li, he specifically told her not to be brave and to call her if there was any problem.

He still remembered the unexpected situation when Enli was riding a horse last time he went to Tamubao.

Enter the noble carriage.

Mayfair did not wear a dress today, but wore a slim-fitting robe with exquisite embroidery.

The shawl hangs on the body, and the blond hair is tied with a scarf on the head, giving him a childish and yet strangely mature look.

His blue eyes were slightly lazy. Seeing Xu Siling come in, he subconsciously felt happy and yawned lightly.

After Xu Siling got on the bus, An Li led the way, and the group officially set off north.

"You didn't get a good rest yesterday."

"This is the first time I have to travel far away. I have spent most of my time in Raya Town before. Especially... this is different from going to Tamubao. This time I go to Paris. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time."

"You're worried again."

Feier sighed slightly, her childish face showing pain: "I listened to you carefully, but after all, I can't trust so many things to them. Whenever I think about it, as long as I am not in Raya Town, Raya Town When faced with some problem, these people might make the wrong decision, and I just can’t sleep.”

"You said it's possible, so maybe they will do a good job." Xu Siling couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Besides, it's not terrible to make mistakes."

Feeling the bumps of the carriage, Feier's little hand touched Xu Siling's chest, and then patted it gently.

"This leather armor is hard and feels really uncomfortable to the touch."

"The topic of yours is just like doing the splits, it changes the subject so much."

"Humph, I have nothing to do. I was so bored along the way. What's wrong with you?"

Xu Siling coughed lightly: "Next time, use less words like this."

Fei'er just liked to see Xu Siling pretending to be calm.

No matter what situation or crisis Xu Siling faced, he always looked calm and composed, as if the heavy rain would not make him frown.

And making Xu Siling's face move was Fei'er's favorite thing to do.

"Xu, tell me, have you slept with Ella?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Facing Fei'er's direct inquiry, Xu Siling coughed violently and could no longer calm down.

Does this bastard know what he is asking?

"It looks like she's asleep." Fei'er sighed softly, "Ella is very good-looking, and she is a wife who came to the door for free, so there is no reason not to sleep."

Xu Siling touched his face. He was not prepared to deny it. After all, it was related to Ella's dignity as a wife.

It would be nice if Farina was the only one at home who knew that he and Ella had not slept together.

Ai sees himself as a wife. Nothing has happened between him and Ella. Ella is actually thinking about it in her heart, but she just doesn't say it out loud.

But if other people knew that he and Ella had never slept together, everyone would just think that he looked down on the silly Ella. If this happened, it would definitely hurt Ella. Heart.

"Why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious, Xu, tell me, what's it like for Ella to be so boring in bed? Is she as boring as in life? Do you feel bored?"

Xu Siling felt her scalp numb and resisted the urge to hit Feier's head.

"Or is it that her life seems so boring, but she is actually very relaxed at night?"

Feier started thinking wildly and held her little face in her hands.

"I found that your mind just can't rest for a day." Xu Siling lectured, "It's not easy to go on a long trip. If you don't have to worry about the affairs of Raya Town, you can't let your mind rest."

"On the one hand, I'm curious. On the other hand, I also want to know your preferences." Mayfair's blue eyes blinked.

"My preference?" Xu Siling was speechless.

"I had a brief exchange with Ella earlier. Ella said that you like someone with a good figure, such as Farina."

Xu Siling rubbed her forehead helplessly. Were medieval women so open-minded in private? They talked about any topic. "But I don't think so." Fei'er smiled slyly, "I don't think you like people with outstanding figures. You just like people with petite figures like me, right?"

If allowed, Xu Siling's toes could hit Laya Town on the board of the aristocratic carriage.

What kind of talk are these?

"you"

Seeing that Xu Siling couldn't say anything, Fei'er didn't think that she was wrong, or she never thought that she was wrong in this regard.

She figured out the time when she, Ella, and Falina appeared, and found that she was the first woman to appear next to Xu Siling.

And she also believed that she was the first woman Xu Siling fell in love with.

Otherwise, Xu Siling would be so desperate, paying for her, doing so many things for her, and then not asking for anything in return, not asking for power or money.

Thinking of her canonizing Xu Siling as a knight in front of everyone, Xu Siling's expression remained calm, as if she didn't care about the identity of the knight.

You say that such a man doesn't care about money, status or power, so what should he care about?

Don’t you just care about yourself, like yourself, and love yourself as a person?

Mayfair was convinced of this answer and had never doubted it.

So Ella said that Xu Siling likes good figures, but Fei'er didn't believe it.

I don’t know when it started, but Mayfair, Ella, and Farina have developed a strange cyclic relationship.

In Ella's eyes, Farina is a threat between husband and wife, but in life, Farina is not a threat to her. Instead, Mayfair keeps Ella on guard.

In Fei'er's eyes, the only threat in her eyes was Ella. Farina could not enter her eyes at all, and now she did not get much sense of crisis from Ella.

The reason is simple. Fei'er is two years younger than Ella, and Ella's body is gradually growing. Fei'er feels that Xu Siling likes petite figures, and she is obviously more in line with Xu Siling's aesthetics.

So Ella is a threat in Mayfair's eyes, but this threat will not last long.

As for Falina?

It can be said that Falina is the most heartless of the three. Since returning from the cabin, she has not regarded anyone as a threat. She only feels happy to be able to live next to Xu Siling, and is more like a mediator in the relationship between the three.

Of course Xu Siling didn't understand what Fei'er was thinking, but he was helpless and didn't know how to refute.

He is not a lolicon!

"If you keep saying this, I'll get out of the car and Enri will come over to accompany you."

"Hey, come on, I won't tease you anymore."

Fei'er covered her mouth and laughed happily, her eyes were crooked. In her eyes, Xu Siling was not angry at all, he was obviously trying to save face.

Xu Siling sighed and rubbed his eyebrows.

Fei'er looked at the family crest robe on Xu Siling and couldn't help but said.

"If you have the chance, make a family crest for yourself. Your manor will grow bigger and bigger, and you will need it sooner or later."

Xu Siling couldn't help but be stunned. He remembered that knights could not put up their own family flags.

"I think your family's coat of arms is pretty good. Why do you want to change it?"

"Stupid, of course you can use my coat of arms, but in the future you will have more and more vassals. Your vassals should use your family coat of arms instead of mine. You always don't care about this aspect. , how outrageous, be careful of others laughing at you. And I only have you as a knight, and I don’t have them."

Xu Siling didn't know much about this and couldn't help but be curious.

"Mayfair, when I heard an official reading an official document before, he called you a knight. What is your noble title? Does a knight count as a noble?"

"Me? Of course I am Viscount Raya." Mayfair blinked and explained, "A knight can barely be considered a noble."

After Fei'er's explanation, Xu Siling understood clearly.

As an authoritative title, the viscount originally existed in France during the Middle Ages. The identity of the viscount was mainly associated with the land. After the split of the Garin Empire, the viscounts of the West Frankish Kingdom could become vassals.

However, the number of viscounts is less than that of earls.

The title viscount was once used to refer to the county governor in England.

But this has nothing to do with France.

It is worth mentioning that women can also inherit Duke, Marquis, Earl and Viscount, but the titles are distinguished by suffixes.

"There are currently four main types of noble titles in the kingdom, top titles, senior titles, mid-level titles and low-level titles." Mayfair said slowly, "Viscount is a mid-level noble title, while knight is a low-level title, so knights are barely considered nobles. One column. But Xu, you are a noble, but not a knight."

Xu Siling was stunned: "I'm not a knight?"

"Correct."

It turns out that there are three low-level titles, namely, squire, knight, and knight of square banner.

Enri belongs to the retinue category.

As for when the retinue was classified as a class of medieval nobles, Mayfair couldn't remember clearly. She only knew that the nobles had already acquiesced.

A title of squire lower than a knight, its Latin name is Scutiferi.

It means shield bearer, warrior.

Nowadays, retinues usually refer to those noble children who have not been knighted, or those who have been specially selected by the nobles for training.

Enri is definitely the latter.

Enri was brought to the Raya family as a child and became Mayfair's playmate. She also received various military trainings and provided various services to Mayfair and the family nobles.

Retinues also fight on horseback on the battlefield, and their equipment is not much different from that of ordinary knights.

Xu Siling always thought that he was a knight, but that was not the case. He was a knight with the square flag.

Strictly speaking, the Banner Knight in Europe is not a hereditary title, but a hierarchical title in the knight army.

However, in England and France during the High Middle Ages, those who held the title of Knight of the Square Banner were recognized as belonging to the nobility, and their status was naturally higher than that of ordinary knights.

At first, the Banner Knights carried their own flags on the battlefield and led their companions to fight.

His banner was usually square, unlike the triangular banners carried by knights below him.

The difference between France and England regarding the Knights of the Banner is this.

In France, as long as the noble title is viscount or above, you can appoint your subordinates as knights of the square banner.

In England, the canonization of banner knights must be controlled by the king.

As an important member of the medieval army, Knights of the Banner required not only personal strength but also bravery in battle.

Moreover, they will lead their vassals to fight and are the grassroots leaders of each territorial noble fighting team.

In France, there is a more important way to distinguish between knights and knights of the flag.

It just depends on who has the canonized territory on both sides.

Ordinary knights had no territory and had to rely on nobles for support, so it was impossible to have their own vassal troops.

On the contrary, the Banner Knights will have territories granted by nobles and have certain economic strength, so they will have vassal knights and troops.

In addition to being related to the lord's family emblem, the flags and robes of the Knights of Square Banners will also have the characteristics of their own family.

That's why Fei'er asked Xu Siling to take the time to get his own family crest. (End of chapter)
