Chapter 153 Orson Arrives

Chapter 153 Orson Arrives

After Lulans told Roning that Princess Blanche would come to Wushan Castle, this matter spread like a gust of wind throughout the castle.

Although Blanche has a bad reputation outside, she has the royal blood of Alduin flowing in her body and represents the royal family wherever she goes.

So, when the nobles first came across this information, they anticipated it and speculated on the intentions of the royal family and His Majesty Bruno.

"Father, welcome to Wushanbao."

At the head of a luxurious convoy, Earl Orson Hyde of Black Python City arrived at Wushan Castle on the evening of the 26th. After receiving the report, Lady Diane immediately greeted him with Breton.

"Grandpa, welcome to Wushan Castle!" Bretton also followed.

"Haha, long time no see, dear!"

Orson strode over and stroked Brayton's head affectionately.

"Compared to last time, you seem to have grown taller. Your growth is a continuation of the glory of the Wushan family, not bad!"

He is already seventy years old this year, but unlike Lu Lans, he is in a very good mental state and looks no different from a middle-aged man.

"Diane, Wiggins is not able to move around easily now. As his wife, you must do your best to host this banquet. You must not lose face for the Hyde family, and you must not lose the etiquette of Wushan Fort."

He walked up to his daughter and hugged her, patting her on the back and saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

Dai Anni smiled and said, "Don't worry, father. Everything is arranged here. It's getting dark. Please follow me into the castle."

With the heavyweight figure Earl Orson's arrival, all the nobles in Wushan City who were supposed to come had arrived.

"grown-ups."

Knight Laurent, following Breton, walked to Orson's side and said, "Not long ago, the Marquis revealed that Princess Blanche will arrive at Wushan Castle tomorrow, and Roning will be in charge of the reception."

"Thank you for informing Sir Laurent. I already know about this matter."

Orson's expression did not change. "The Marquis's reputation is well-known, and his birthday has attracted much attention. It can be predicted that Wushan Fort will be very grand and lively the day after tomorrow!"

"Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to it!"

Led by Diane, Orson first visited Rulans, which was the etiquette that a vassal should follow.

He then stayed in an independent small villa, courtesy of Wushan Castle to Earl Orson.

Here, Orson had friendly greetings and exchanges with many nobles, which was lively.

"Ronin, why don't you go meet Count Orson? It's very lively there!"

McKinney sat on the swing in the yard, swaying gently as a maid pushed it slowly.

She couldn't quite understand her brother now. Wushan Castle was lively, but Luo Ning was alone in the yard waving his sword.

Even if I don't go to see Orson, at least I can communicate with other nobles.

"Why would I go see him?"

Roning swung the sword and practiced basic steps.

If McKinney hadn't insisted on chatting with him more, he would be learning those fighting skills and magic now.

"He and I are both vassals of my grandfather. If there is no interest or communication, I don't need to take the initiative to visit him."

Luo Ning thrust his sword fiercely with such speed that it made a sound of breaking through the air.

McKinney was shocked by the sword. "Your swordsmanship seems to be very good. Who did you learn from?"

"With my knights, Macon and Rydar."

McKinney couldn't help but look at the tall knight on the opposite side. From what Kabir said, this McKinney seemed to be no simple person.

She had been with Kabir for many years and rarely heard him make such comments about others.

It was rare for her younger brother to have two very unusual knight followers at once.

"You're right. I can't stand that old man either."

McKinney tilted her head to look at Roning as if worried that her brother didn't know what had happened in the past.

"In the early years, Orson was not Grandpa's follower. He lost to Grandpa in the Knights' Tournament only before the Battle of Misty City. According to the bet, the loser would be loyal to the winner, so he became Grandpa's follower."

Luo Ning paused, "Is there anything else?"

He carefully searched the memory in his mind and found that his memory of this incident was vague. He didn't know whether his predecessor had never tried to understand it or whether the memory of his predecessor had become increasingly faint.

"He's still not convinced in his heart!"

McKinney complained, "I've wanted to compete with my grandfather many times, saying that we must have a winner."

Luo Ning nodded secretly, but this was possible.

If it weren't for the reputation issue, he could become an earl of the kingdom.

And...

McKinney had already told him a lot about Count Orson. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was conveying a message to Ronin -

The other party is an enemy, and we must always be on guard and be prepared to respond.

The brother-sister relationship between McKinney and Rhonin is real and indeed good, but there is also a purpose behind their words and deeds.

"Sir, Butler Most is here." Tom came in and reported.

McKinney was a little curious. Why was the knight still wearing a mask on his face? Was it because the scar underneath was too hideous and affected his image?

"Come in."

Most walked in, followed by a male servant and a female servant.

"Master Luo Ning, this is the dress the master prepared for you. You can wear it to receive Princess Blanche tomorrow."

"Wow~"

McKinney jumped off the swing, ran over in surprise, and looked at the clothes anxiously.

"This fabric, these jewels, this pattern...it looks like Grandpa spent a lot of time on this dress?"

Most smiled and said, "Master did spend a lot of time preparing, just like Master Luo Ning prepared the silk scarf for Master."

Roning threw the sword to McKen and walked over to take a look.

This should be a dress made of Warcraft leather. It feels rich and delicate to the touch and is probably not inferior to the fur coat of the Storm Wolf.

"Thank Grandpa for me," he said.

Most handed Ronin another piece of parchment and said, "This is the itinerary the master has planned for you. You can take the princess on a tour in the next few days."

Lu Lans prepared very carefully, even arranging the itinerary.

Luo Ning took it and looked at it. It mentioned scenic spots such as parks and lakes and elegant places such as opera houses and concert halls.

What caught his attention was that there would be a wonderful beast fight in the Wushan City Colosseum tomorrow afternoon. It was said that the target would be a third-level magical beast.

"I see."

Ronin folded the paper and handed it to McKean.

"You have to work harder!"

McKinney encouraged: "Try to win the princess in one fell swoop and capture her heart!"

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Sister, this is an arranged marriage, not a free love relationship like you and Kabir."

After getting over his initial resistance to the marriage, Roning calmed down and looked forward to it.

It's not that he was looking forward to a wonderful love affair, but he was looking forward to meeting Princess Blanche as soon as possible and seeing what she looked like.

Time passed quickly, and a black spot appeared on the southwest horizon when the sun rose the next day.

The black spot grew bigger and bigger, and when it approached Wushan City, a loud cry pierced through the sky and reached Wushan Fort, attracting everyone's attention.

Luo Ning walked out quickly to the square in front of Wushan Fort.

The black spot in the sky has revealed its shape: it is a huge flying bird!

It swooped down quickly and suddenly spread its wings when it was only ten meters above the ground.

In an instant, a huge airflow spread in all directions; its speed dropped to the lowest, and it slowly fell.

Roning's eyes were always on the giant beast.

With the body and powerful wings of a lion and the head and sharp claws of an eagle, this creature's feathers shimmer with golden light, exuding an irresistible majesty.

Griffin.

It is an extremely brave and proud creature.

Its powerful strength and excellent flying ability made it once the invincible overlord of the sky.

At this moment, Ronin was moved - by this griffin.

He also wanted to have a flying mount like this.

However, the number of nobles who own griffins is said to be extremely limited, and only the royal family and some grand dukes are well-known.

Moster reminded him, "Master, this is the vanguard griffin knight of the Royal Sky Guard. His arrival means that the princess's team will arrive soon."

"Let all the nobles get ready to welcome us!" said Roning.

Roning looked down at his clothes, and McKinney helped him adjust the position of his collar and bow tie.

He strode forward.

Every Griffin Knight has a special status, and Wushan Castle must treat them courteously.
