Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“Please inform the Duke of Elmere that Viscount Richard of the Vareen family would like to ask to see you.”

In front of a manor in the noble district of Touraine, Richard, wearing a cloak of protection against the cold, brought two imperial cavalrymen with two imperial cavalry, standing at the door with a gift of his kindness, and said to the guards guarding him.

Listening to the words of the young nobleman in front of him, he checked his noble certificate intently, and then he showed respect, nodded and said: “Sir, please wait a moment, I will go and inform my Lord Sir.”

When the guard finished speaking, he gave lance in his hand to his comrades aside, and then turned to enter the manor. Richard waited outside for a while before seeing the guard dressed up with a bloated butler The elderly came out.

“Viscount Richard Vareen, welcome you.” The old man greeted him in a few steps, stroked his chest, and said: “I am Gus, the housekeeper of this manor, please follow me Come in.”

After saluting, he straightened up, his gaze seemed to inadvertently pause for a while on the two imperial cavalry in civilian clothes behind Richard, and then turned sideways casually and made an invitation. action.

Richard nodded, motioned for the two imperial cavalry to follow, handed the gift to the housekeeper, and then walked into the manor with the housekeeper.

The owner of this manor is the lord of Molinani Duchy in the eastern part of the kingdom. He lives in Touraine all year round and is active in the activities of the aristocracy. He is one of the nobles. Although he did not visit Fiefdom in person, eldest son was able to manage Molinani Duchy with the help of the butler and the courtiers.

It is worth mentioning that on the Trokia battlefield a few years ago, the old duke also fought side by side with Richard’s father. The latter was appreciated by him, and the relationship between the two was also More harmonious.

That’s why Richard’s old mother asked him to visit the Duke of Molinani as the first stop. As long as he can get the support of the Duke, plus the support of the families that he said before, Then Richard’s position is as stable as a rock.

Under the leadership of the butler, Richard walked all the way into the main building hall of the manor and met the Duke of Elmere sitting on the main seat with a bearskin cloak.

The Duke of Elmere is over half a hundred years old. He has a weather-beaten face and two deep-set eyes with blue pupils. They look very cloudy, but Richard can still perceive those eyes keenly. Shining light from time to time. His face with age spots is full of wrinkles, one after another, like carved trenches. Richard also noticed that although his hair and beard were dense, they were all dyed white by the years, and occasionally black hair appeared. It seems out of step with the surroundings.

The Duke of Elmere looked at Richard with a blank face. After entering the hall, the latter bowed his chest respectfully, saying: “Your Excellency, I am Richard of the Vareen family. , Come to visit you.”

“Mother? Are you Madame Margaret’s son.” The old duke asked Richard in a hoarse but full of air.

“Yes, my father is Victor Vareen, Earl of Holt.” Richard nodded and replied respectfully.

Hearing the name of Richard’s father, the old duke’s face eased a lot. He nodded, said: “Richard, I have heard of your deeds. You deserve to be Victor’s son and inherited his bravery. “

Richard pursed his lips slightly, and did not answer. The old duke continued: “I heard that you have become a canonization candidate for the upstart Niang. This is really a happy thing. I think If nothing else, you will become the lord of the future Meenner.”

Listening to him, Richard’s expression was stagnant. How could he not know the meaning behind Duke Elmir’s words? That proves that Duke Aylmere will support him in the Noble House. Richard quickly calmed himself down and slowly said: “Your Excellency, I am honored to have your support. I will remember your kindness.”

Seeing that Richard heard his unspoken implication, he was taken aback for a while, and he quickly set his mind. The Duke of Aylmere in the heart secretly nodded, he likes this kind of youngster that is not arrogant or impetuous, but he Also noticed that Richard’s self-proclaimed name is not the Vareen family, but “me”.

This means that Richard is the only one who owes him this favor, and has nothing to do with the entire Vareen family.

The Duke of Elmere didn’t care either, because all he needed was Richard that’s all.

He faintly smiled and said: “Richard, the meeting of the Noble House will be held in the morning of the day after tomorrow, and will end that afternoon. After it is over, I hope you can visit me again.”

“Understand, I will remember.” Richard nodded, agreed.

He knew very well in his heart that the next time he came here, I was afraid that he would accept the task of Duke Elmir—this was the price of his support.

But Richard is also very curious about what such a respected nobleman would need him to do. Generally speaking, as long as he announces it, there will be many nobles rushing to help. There is no reason for Richard to be the first. The little nobleman who met once did it.

Unless…

As soon as he thinks of that probability, Richard feels a chill swept through his body. On the surface, he was silent, and after a few courtesy words with Duke Aylmere, he left. To his manor.

After leaving the manor of the Duke of Elmere, Richard visited several aristocrats who were also aristocrats one by one according to the list given by Mrs. After the inquired information was integrated, Richard discovered something related to him.

After conquering the Nyon collar, the collar became a rich cake. The aristocratic faction and the royal power faction competed with each other. If they wanted to place themselves there, it was impossible for Richard to enter the aristocratic court. In the eyes, but under the hard-line attitude of the Duke of Olsson, and some people from the aristocratic faction saw Richard as a member of the Vareen family, he became one of the candidates.

Duke Olsson was squeezed out of this cake as a compromise to the aristocratic house. Otherwise, how could Richard, a member of the aristocratic family, be promoted from viscount to earl in just six months?

Moreover, because of the Duke of Olsson, Richard is also regarded as a person on his side. Elmir and some aristocratic people chose to support Richard, and some want to get the Duke of Olsson to join them. The reason for this is in it-this is called repaying the truth.

Niang leads the five kingdoms. After Richard leaves one, the other four will be competed by the nobles and kings. Richard can already foresee what the meeting will be like the day after tomorrow. and bloody rain.
