Chapter 115 inaugurated A fiery red cloak was like a blazing fire, and the riding boots made a crisp sound on the ground of the corridor, like a rapid gallop of war horses.
The four servants followed tremblingly, unable to keep up with the Archduke of Butanny at a trot.
He has just returned from the army, and now the domestic situation is so tense, and he must appease the bigwigs in the army, and all kinds of contradictions that continue to arise must be suppressed by the army.
The sound of footsteps stopped at the entrance of the palatial dormitory, and the floor inside was covered with a long carpet, and even if you stepped on it heavily, it would not make a sound.
The handsome face of the Grand Duke of Butani was full of anger that could not be concealed, and his cheeks were so blue that the maids who came in and out were afraid to bend down in fear, until the Grand Duke disappeared in front of him like a gust of wind, and did not dare to raise his head.
In the dormitory, a charming woman is sitting in front of the delicate dresser combing her hair, she has just come out of the bath, barefoot, wearing a soft and snow-white robe, the whole delicate body is wrapped in a soft robe, and the seductive curves are looming.
Her beauty is the kind of stunning sex appeal that is revealed at first sight.
Her beauty is the water droplets on the instep, which makes men willing to lick it off with the tip of their tongue as luscious dewdrops.
The fresh and charming melon seed face, with thin willow eyebrows, is half-hidden by fiery red bangs; The beautiful nose as straight as jade, as well as the tender little mouth, makes people can't help but want to kiss it; She was Elizabeth Susu, Queen of the Kingdom of Apia, and now Grand Duchess of Butani.
She is already a young woman, but she is like a girl with exquisite curves, and her pink carved skin is a little less plump than a young woman, but she has a girlish sense of bones.
In the soft and half-open placket, the delicate pigeon milk is like half an upside-down jade bowl, soft and white, and the peak is two points of crimson, like a crimson agate on the snow ball.
Her lips are slightly upturned, her expression is a little lonely, and she is full of arrogance, which is easy for men to conjure and destroy while having pity.
The Grand Duke of Butani had already rushed behind her, still carrying a horsewhip in his hand, and his iron-blue face made people shudder.
His figure had been projected into the mirror, but Queen Elizabeth continued to comb her fiery red hair slowly as if she hadn't seen him.
"I hope you will let the people of Appia know who is the master of this country," said the Grand Duke of Butani coldly.
"What is wrong with my people, who have always been kind and meek, like mules, who always know how to give and not to take, and I do not know how to rebuke them."
Queen Elizabeth said lazily, without looking back.
The combination of Archduke Butany and Elisabeth Susu was praised as a match made in heaven for the golden boy and girl, and some time ago, von Her's army approached the capital, and it was the queen who guarded Kyoto who called on the whole people to fight the war and strongly supported the military campaign of Archduke Butany.
Although the countries are now deeply wary of the ambitions of the Grand Duke of Butani, they still have deep admiration for the tacit understanding and affection between the couple.
But now it seems that the relationship between them is not as good as the outside world legend.
"Is that so, they are as insidious and cunning as you," roared the Grand Duke of Butani angrily, and the loud voice echoed through the inner sanctum, and the frightened maids fled one after another: "I am fed up with their impotence and yin, and they have violated these damned pariahs, who have evaded taxes and passed the buck to my decrees, and now, they have refused to allow the inflow of Butanny's currency, and the whole duchy has been in a depression, which is a good thing they have done. ” The delicate eyebrows frowned, the ivory comb was placed under the dresser with a snap, and Queen Elizabeth turned around elegantly, facing the Grand Duke of Butani, with a pair of clear eyes with a mocking smile: "The Butani currency can now be depreciated eight times a day, and to buy a chicken, you need to hold a Butani banknote the size of a cow."
Anyone with a bit of brains will refuse to accept this currency.
The people of Appia are kind, but they are not stupid, and I would do the same if I had them. ” She stood up and drifted past the Grand Duke of Butani, ignoring him.
The angry Grand Duke jerked her arm and roared, "Stop me, your husband hasn't finished his sentence yet" "Let go of me" Elizabeth Susu suddenly shouted, she shook her hand, and the slender arm broke free from the palm of the Grand Duke's hand.
With this force, the straps of the nightgown were torn open, and the robe was swung open, revealing a graceful and fragrant body inside.
The delicate neck curve of the girl's body and the small but firm twin peaks are enough to make the mouth water, not to mention the delicate willow waist, the slender legs like pink carving, and the well-proportioned and firm round buttocks like a virgin.
She was only wearing a small dress like a gauze, and her appearance was very attractive.
"My people provide you with food for your soldiers; My people pay your taxes for thee, and forsake thee to forge weapons; When you were attacked by someone and led the enemy into the country, causing people's hearts to fluctuate and the morale of the army to change, it was I, relying on the resolute support of the people of Appia, who made you have no worries.
Now, you blame them for the defeat."
She was petite, but she was not afraid of the tall and known lion Archduke Butani, her pretty face was flushed, and she roared loudly with a pair of pink fists.
The Grand Duke's tone softened, and he said, "Susu, it's not that I want to accuse you, but the Apia Territory is actually constantly making trouble for me.
They have so far refused to believe in the Cult of Light, and the nobles of Butani have complained about it, and if it were not for my mediation, they would have condemned the Cult of Hope as a heresy.
Now they refuse to accept the currency of the principality, and trade between the two places has come to a virtual halt.
They were in the north, and my Duchy of Butani bordered the Normans and Croia, and now the only outward port of trade was to the north, and they refused to trade, and even if the merchants of Butani passed directly through Apia and went to and from the northern countries, they would have to pay huge checkpoint taxes along the way, and no one could afford such a high cost. ” "I'm sorry, my husband, but as a hereditary Grand Duke, you should know a thing.
A vassal of my vassals, not my vassals.
As the queen of Apya, I also cannot restrict the lords and lords from exercising their rights within their realms."
The good-looking eyes narrowed: "Grand Duke, when you are victorious, all the scenery belongs to you; When you fail, all the reasons belong to someone else, and that's where you fail the most.
In fact, put down your domineering shelf, with your ingenuity, you may not be able to think of a solution.
Don't blame me for the blame. ” After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, "Stop, you haven't once listened to me gently."
The Grand Duke of Butani could not listen to the accusation, and although Queen Elizabeth had a point, he was still furious, and when he reached out and grabbed it, he ripped off his nightgown.
The Grand Duchess was now wearing only a close-fitting coat as thin as a cicada's wing, but she walked out without looking back.
She could see that her figure was extremely graceful when she was wearing her dressing gown, and now that she had removed her dressing gown, she was sure of it.
The pants are white, and because they are soft and close, they look beautiful on the buttocks, and the two charming mounds of flesh appear very protruding under the slender waist.
There are many women with graceful postures, but there are really not many extremely perfect gourd curves like her.
The most conspicuous thing was on her shoulder, where a rose the size of a bowl was tattooed, bright and dripping, lining her delicate skin, which made her delicate body full of a wild charm, and that feeling was indescribable.

"What else, my Grand Duke, I have done all my duty as a wife?"
This sentence somehow angered Butani, and a sharp scream sounded, and he raised the horsewhip in his hand, and with a "snap", the horsewhip whipped down on the crystal clear skin without hesitation.
Su Wang's delicate body was clever, his clothes were torn, and a blood mark was visible, and blood quickly seeped out.
The blood soaked the garment and flowed onto the roses, which seemed to become alive.
The Queen's fists clenched, and two angry flames ignited in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, just gritted her teeth, and continued to walk forward, only on her lips, revealing a sneer of incomparable resentment, but the Grand Duke of Butani never saw it.
Grand Duke Butani couldn't bear it anymore, he walked around the room for half a circle, and suddenly flew up with a kick, kicking Jindun up and hitting the mirror with a "bang".
A few cracks suddenly appeared in the mirror, and his image in the mirror became hideous.
The Grand Duke whipped another whip on the carpet in hatred, and then walked away.
Returning to his study, he sat down heavily in his chair, and the Grand Duke held his forehead in annoyance.
He has not suffered any setbacks since he was a child, and after succeeding to the position of Grand Duke, he has always been invincible, and he is always accompanied by flowers and applause, and he cannot bear the blow of defeat.
But this time he was defeated, and he was struck hard by von Her, who pushed him off the altar, and heard that von Her had now been framed to death in the internal strife of the Norman Duchy.
Once von Hull died, he would never be able to recover this shame.
The operation of the government needs money as a lubricant, and now he wants to make a comeback after the initial defeat, and it is the time when he needs money, but the economy has encountered great difficulties.
The whole principality is his country, and he can't rob it, and it is not his forte to manage the economy, which really bothers him very much.
If this goes on for a long time, it is better to say that the most fearful thing is the mutiny of the army.
Butani has long abolished the knight service system and implemented a conscription system, which is difficult to maintain without military pay, and the bigwigs in the army even refused to accept Butani coins.
He rubbed his brow annoyedly, and unexpectedly remembered Cardinal Christopher's words: "Your Excellency, I know your plight very well.
I am also willing to grant your request to help you solve your current troubles.
But you know, it's not easy to get Christians to come up with money willingly.
They are devout in their faith, which is the only viable aspect that allows them to help the government of the principality.
If you can ban the existence of the Cult of Hope, of course, it may provoke a violent revolt from a small number of radical opponents in the area, but I am confident that the Grand Duke's army will be able to quell the civil strife quickly, or that the matter will be left entirely to my Knights. ” The Grand Duke rubbed his forehead in anguish, and let out a sigh like a trapped beast.
When he heard that Tagore the Great wanted to recruit him as a concubine, he hurriedly married Queen Elizabeth, thinking that by killing two birds with one stone, he would conceal his personal affairs and increase his own power.
Unexpectedly, the little Queen Apia is not so easy to manipulate, the hasty union of the two countries has left so many troubles, and Elizabeth Susu's delicate and petite body hides an unruly heart that is not inferior to him in the slightest.
Is it really the use of force, but in that case, Bishop Kristof must take the opportunity to arrange for his people to be involved in politics, and in order to gain the support of the religion, he has made enough concessions, and he must not let these gods and his own ruler be on an equal footing, as the Rus Empire did, and dictate everything to him.
"I am the one and the most noble" Grand Duke Butani lowered his hands, and a fierce light gradually appeared in his eyes: "You forced me, stinky bitch, there is a limit to my patience, if my difficulties cannot be solved, then let Appia bleed." ” "Dear Evelyn, I'm troubled again," a pair of hands put on his strong shoulders, then slid to his broad, white forehead, and caressed affectionately.
The Grand Duke's study was the place where he usually handled state affairs, and there were often mountains of files on the table, and he was very diligent in his administration, so he also built a bed next to him, and sometimes slept here late at night when he was dealing with official business.
So this is actually the place where the Grand Duke spends most time in the palace, and even the Grand Duchess is not allowed to enter without permission.
Now that someone had barged in without notice, and dared to affectionately call him by his nickname, the Grand Duke of Butani knew at once who was coming.
He sighed deeply, straightened up, leaned back in his chair tiredly, raised his face and said: "The Principality of Butani has been passed down for thousands of years, and each generation of Grand Dukes is called Grand Duke Butani, and then they die and disappear in the long river of history, and the new generation will continue to use this name forever.
I want to have my own name, and in a thousand years, everyone will remember me as long as I mention it.
But this is so difficult, I can quickly cheer up after losing a war, and the domestic problems that cannot be solved with a sword are the problems that give me a headache.
I'm sick of sanctimonious politics, Zeni, I'm really tired. ” Standing behind him was a burly and handsome palace guard, with a gorgeous uniform and a scarlet trim of golden tassels, and it seemed that his rank was not low.
He also has thick blonde hair, godly eyes, sexy lips, and is full of the charm of a mature man.
"My sweetheart, you should have a few competent ministers to assist you, so that you can save some thoughts."
Zeny said, kissing the Grand Duke of Butani lightly on the forehead, which was extremely sweet.
Grand Duke Butani smiled, stood up and hugged him, and said softly: "No, like the Norman Grand Duke, all power must be in my own hands."
My Zeni, I will only forget my troubles when you are by my side. ” The two men embraced each other and kissed passionately, and gradually retreated to the bedside, and then the Grand Duke of Butani fell on his back.
Zeny kissed him tenderly and unbuttoned his shirt as if he were to the woman he loved.
Grand Duke Butani looked at him affectionately, and as soon as his snow-white and full chest was exposed, he passionately hugged the guard Zeni, and the two of them became entangled again in a burst of "babbling".
"Welcome, Captain Picasso, Captain Jedi" Elliot, a fourth-rank knight, smiled excitedly as he ushered them into the headquarters of the Blood Rose Knights.
He had been stabbed by the Radiant Knights in the Battle of the Outskirts of the city, and had witnessed the two young knights of the Cult unleash their might, bringing the invincible Cult of Light to the ground.
Elliot was very happy that they had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Blood Rose Order.
Jedi retains the title of Paladin, the result of a joint discussion between the three Paladins and the High Priest Garfield.
Aside from Jedei's credit for bringing a large amount of gold to the country, his martial arts skills and his performance in political officialdom also show that he is definitely a first-class talent, and what the Blood Rose Knights lack most now is a talent who can become a soul figure.
This paladin must be made up of mistakes regardless of whether he is qualified or not, and the dying Goddess of Hope Cult now needs a hero and a role model to boost the morale of the army and attract more young people who admire heroes to join, so as not to be overwhelmed.

Because he was given the title of Paladin, he became the first lieutenant commander, and Picasso was the second lieutenant.
The offices of the two people are next to each other, which is an old church-like building, with colorful glass windows, and the room is huge and empty, and there is a serious lack of light.
There was a musty smell in the room, and the floor was no longer visible in its original color.
The statue of the goddess of hope is enshrined on the altar, and the everlasting lamp in front of the shrine is only two lit, and it is not very bright, it seems that the financial situation of the Blood Rose Knight is very unoptimistic.
"I'm sorry, two adults, this used to be the clerk's office, so it's a bit messy, your two offices are inside, on the left is the room of head Jedi, on the right is head Picasso, it has been cleaned."
The two of them walked into their own offices and looked at them, and they could see that this place was really cleaned with all their hearts, and the deputy head of the regiment's office was very clean and decorated well.
"Hey, that's not going to work, Eliot, come and see," Picasso called.
Elliot hurriedly ran in: "Commander" "You see, such a narrow window, blocked by such a thick glass, is too dim and green.
Shall there be candles on the table when the sun is shining?"
"Captain, this old style is Victorian".
"Not everything is progressing, the old style should be thrown into the garbage heap in the Victorian era, thousands of years ago, people did not brush their teeth, even bathed were afraid, a knight or a woman only bathed twice in her life, had to keep spraying perfume on her body, the more she sprayed it, the more it smelled, don't you take a bath now Remember, except for the eternal belief in the great goddess of hope, everything has to change from time to place, and those who are rigid will also be swept into the garbage heap by the times.
Give me thin, clear glass, and a skylight. ” "Yes, Captain," Elliot agreed.
"Tut-tut, the sofa and chairs are so old that I feel like a judge of the Inquisition.
What kind of file is this?"
Picasso picked up a thick dossier and opened it for scrutiny.
"Oh, no, this is about the teachings of the Goddess of Hope, canons, and other texts, and every knight of our Blood Rose Order must memorize and remember all the commandments of the gods and sages."
Elliot said proudly.
"It's horrible" Picasso looked shocked and said in disbelief: "We are knights, we are swordsmen, we are war horses, we are war songs, we are knights who defend the dignity of the gods by force, I think I know more than you, have you ever heard of the phrase "different paths lead to the same end."
There are many paths to practice, and the sword path is one of them.
Well, engrave this sentence on the door for me, so that every knight who walks in can see it, and write: A knight is a person who uses a sword to practice faith.
That's it, by the way, take this pile thicker than a dictionary for me."
"Yes" Elliot was just embarrassed for a moment, and then acted as ordered, because the nominal supreme commander of the Knights, Captain Garfield, was not very in charge of things, and since he had these two deputy captains, he had been drunk for three consecutive days, and Elliot knew that in the future, the head of the entire Knights would be the two captains in front of him.
Eliot struggled out with a stack of religious texts taller than his head.
Jedi crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile on his side, and as soon as Elliot left, Jedi immediately walked over and sat down on the couch.
With a "bang", Jedi immediately became a lot shorter.
Picasso hurriedly ran over and said excitedly, "What's the matter, have you found out what is the ancient cellar, the treasure, the magic scroll, the beautiful princess who has been sleeping for a thousand years", he said, and his saliva was about to flow.
Jedi smacked him on the head with a laugh: "Don't be delusional, it's just that the spring of the sofa is too old and has lost its elasticity" "Oh" Picasso was disappointed and sat down next to him with a "bang".
After the two of them pressed like this, the sofa was already close to the ground.
"Hehe", Jedi looked at Picasso with interest, the intriguing smile and gaze made Picasso, who deliberately pretended to turn a blind eye, gradually uneasy, he moved his butt to the side timidly, and said a little furiously: "Ahem, hea, Jedi, my sister has always liked you."
He moved again, already next to the handrail, and he continued with a dry smile, "I don't have any strange fetishes.
Don't look at me like that, people's hearts are weird. ” "Hahaha, you're a foolish connoisseur, a follower of Amstru, the god of deception," Jedi laughed out loud.
Picasso Van Doau was shocked: "What how did you discover such a big secret, I know, I know, women are unreliable, even if she is your sister" Picasso began to complain: "She is always only looking at her own pillow person."
Don't look at me like that, oh yes, you haven't had a fait accompli, and that's even more hateful. ” Jedi looked at him and smiled faintly, and Picasso's self-talk finally stopped.
Jedi then said, "I always thought that the dragon you raised was the reason why I valued you.
Actually, I should have figured it out a long time ago, in Ironforge Castle, you were thrown dozens of meters away, fell into such a deep hole, and actually only suffered a little skin trauma, I should have thought about it at that time.
The sword you slashed people on the outskirts of the city is really because your sword is sharper Master Canire's sword, and it is really Picasso that you happened to turn around and ask questions to avoid, I can be sure that you have no ill will towards me, our friendship and conspiracy are completely dominated by me, but I am really curious about your strength and real ability, can you tell me something" "What did you always think I was a piece of crap before" Picasso blinked and smiled: "Hehe, of course not, to be the most outstanding liar, you can't really be better than others, so how can I be on this difficult and lonely road to practice and walk alone, the hardships" "But now it seems that I have seen the dawn of success, you begin to believe that a liar is not actually a liar, it is not unusual to be able to deceive people, to let people know that you are a liar, and not believe that you are a liar, that is the highest level of deception" Looking at Picasso's smug expression, Jedi shook his head and smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, no matter what, we are in the same boat now, you may not be very clear about my purpose, I do have a reason that I can't say."
And you, supposedly, are for my good reward.
Well, even if the reason is true.
I have secrets that I can't tell you now, and you can keep the truth that you can't tell me.
Everyone has his own self-interest, I just want to tell you that now I regard you as a friend and brother, and I hope that we will always be friends and brothers.
If one day we have to be enemies, then I hope you can tell me that I can respect the enemy, but my revenge on my betrayed brother is like a volcano."
Picasso's gaze suddenly became deeper, there was an inscrutable mysterious light in his eyes, his lips moved slightly for a moment, and the brief shaking on his face disappeared, still a cynical smile.
He patted Jedi on the shoulder and smiled half-truthfully: "Don't say it so scary, how can we be enemies, you are a mountain of gold, and I never fight against money, hahahaha".
Jedi laughed too, and the two of them laughed at each other, really feeling like they were cheating.
"Well, let's work hard for the endless rewards."

"Of course, wait, what do you mean by making me work hard to be the deputy head of this shabby sect," Picasso suddenly asked with a "shrewd face".
Looking at his stupid look, Jedi really wanted to punch his handsome face of a fascinated woman into a rotten persimmon, but he remembered the erratic way Picasso had turned to avoid the paladin Garnier, and doubted that he could actually hit him in the nose with a punch.
He subconsciously touched his nose and replied, "You don't need to care about the purpose, you just need to find a way to build the Blood Rose Knights into a real army." ” "Then what should I do" Picasso became more and more stupid.
"That's your business," Jedi replied unequivocally.
Picasso said with a bitter face: "You have also seen that the Blood Rose Knights are actually quite poor, and they are doing very badly with the Light Holy Sect now.
And the Bright Holy Religion is the state religion, and this kind of regime that is almost theocratic and religious is the most difficult to handle, so how can I deal with it?"
"Come on, brother, aren't you determined to be the best liar you know who the most Jedi liar of all ages is, who did what he did" "I really don't know about this, let's hear it" "Stealer" Picasso's eyes flashed with a sharp light, but it quickly turned into a look of confusion.
Jedi smiled, with a victor's smile, he stood up leisurely and said, "Okay, as the first deputy commander of the Blood Rose Knights, I will now go around the regimental headquarters to get to know the main personnel of the regimental headquarters and understand the general situation.
Regarding the feasible plan to improve the financial situation of the Blood Rose Knights, strengthen the internal management of the Order, and enhance the external competitiveness, I hope to appear on my desk early tomorrow morning, Picasso Fando, my second deputy head of the Mission, please start the work, do not disturb. ” The door slammed shut, and Jedish walked out, swaggering out of the hall.
Picasso sat on a leather couch almost close to the floor, his long legs sticking out, and he sat half-demented for a long time before he muttered, "This guy is really excessive, obviously his business."
Alas, it turns out that playing stupid is not my patent".
In frustration, he raised his hands behind his head, and after only half stretching his waist, the sofa flipped backwards with a thud, and with a "bang" buckled him down, leaving poor Picasso with only a pair of twitching thighs exposed.
"It's so unbelievable, this antique sofa is even older than this house" Picasso crawled out in embarrassment, patted the dust on his body, and cried out loudly: "Elliot Eliot, I need a description of the formation and roster of the Knights, the number of people, the configuration and the properties owned by each branch.
And bring me the account book."
As Jedi walked out of the gloomy, dark and empty cathedral with his hands behind his back, Picasso's mournful howl floated in echoes, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he couldn't help but show a very sunny smile.
Althea and Sally walked towards this place and saw Jedi in a brand new Blood Rose Knights robe, black robes, white blouses, and a bright red rose on his chest.
He stood in the sun, with a sunny smile on his face, and his long blue hair fluttering gently in the wind.
Miss Sally looked at it all the time, and the heart suddenly began to melt like a handful of snow in the sun:
