The young Guards Cavalry officers listened attentively and were amazed. , Lyudmila smiled and said nothing.
Roland's praise for the Kitlanders was not excessive, but he did not reveal the important role he had played in the battle against the Grande two months earlier, and he did not mention that it was only thanks to the large reconstruction loan he had raised from Baigull Harbor that the war-torn city of Kitlander was able to quickly regain its prosperity driven by money.
As he traveled, Roland's narration was often interrupted.
For the sides of the avenue were as crowded with welcoming crowds as outside the city, and from time to time a brave girl would come out of the crowd, throw off her slender legs and catch up with the trotting horse, and raise her hands to offer him a bouquet of flowers.
Roland still smiled and accepted the bouquet, raised his hand to salute and thank, the charm beyond the mortal world naturally blended into the sunny smile and just the right demeanor, which caused great damage to all the audience regardless of gender and age, especially for those girls who successfully presented bouquets to him, Roland's slight smile is destined to leave an eternal mark in the depths of their memories.
"Vanka, guess how many bouquets of flowers Master Roland can receive in total."
"I can't remember, what about you?"
"You know I have a good memory, and I don't forget it, and he has received a total of ninety-three bouquets of flowers so far today."
"Ha there is such an exaggeration that I only received three bunches, which are only a fraction of the young master Roland" Ivan, who was pretentious and handsome, was deeply shocked and asked Alexander: "How much have you received" "Just like you."
Alexander was content.
At this time, Lyudmila turned back from the horse and looked at them with disdain: "You two are really useless, even if you can't compare to Roland, the bouquets you received don't add up to me."
Now Lieutenant Ivan was desperate, "My god, what's going on, eldest sister has received more bouquets than us, is it possible that in the eyes of those girls, you are more attractive than a young talent like me?"
"Of course," Lyudmila smirked.
"Alas, even women can't compare, my life is gray" "Just now you said that spring is coming, and now it is gray again, Vanka, my poor brother, although you are neither as attractive to girls as Young Master Roland nor as Sister Mira, but fortunately you still have a sensitive and fragile heart like a girl."
Alexander was merciless in mocking his friend.
"Bastard, you don't comfort me and I still talk cold, I don't have a hateful friend like you" "Alright, well, I've got a way to make you happy," Alexander smiled a little slyly, "you see, it's almost three hundred yards from the gates of the city now, and I bet Young Master Roland will eventually receive a three-digit bouquet." ” As soon as Ivan heard the "bet", he immediately refreshed himself and touched his chin to calculate.
"It's very difficult to have seven bunches left."
"Hehe, it's only six bunches left, do you want to bet with me" Alexander's smile was clearly provocative.
"Bet on ten gold coins, bet that Master Roland will receive a maximum of 99 bouquets of flowers before we get off the horse."
"No problem, I bet he'll receive at least the hundredth bouquet of flowers."
Two poor and bored young officers made a bet on Roland's charm, and Lyudmila was also idle, and came together and offered to be a notary for them.
Ivan and Alexander each took out 10 gold coins and gave them to Lyudmila for safekeeping, and then stared at Roland sneakily, and whenever an enthusiastic girl came out of the roadside, Alexander whistled excitedly, and Ivan slapped his forehead in annoyance.
"Ninety-nine bouquet of flowers, twenty yards from the city gate, hehe, a girl has come running, I have won" Victory was in sight, and Alexander could not help but get carried away.
Ivan gritted his teeth, and suddenly urged the horse to run towards the girl with the bouquet in her hand, with what she thought was the most handsome smile on her face, and waved at the girl with her snow-white teeth: "Hi, beautiful young lady, can I have the honor of getting that bouquet of flowers in your hand?"
The girl was originally going to Roland, but was stopped by Ivan halfway, and was stunned for a moment, and then showed a big smile.
She was not the only girl who offered flowers to Roland, but she was the only one who had won the handsome cavalry officer's initiative to talk to her, which made her very proud, so she happily handed the bouquet in her hand to Ivan.
Ivan breathed a sigh of relief when he accepted the bouquet, wiped his sweat and turned back to Alexander and smiled: "I won." ” "You're cheating," Alexander said angrily.
"You didn't say that you can't do this, I'm using the rules of gambling reasonably."
Ivan was full of words.
Alexander had nothing to say and was about to throw in the towel, when Lyudmila suddenly laughed.
"Vanka, you're happy too soon."
Ivan was slightly stunned, and immediately became alert: "Eldest sister, you can't favor Sasha, although you are also a Kitlander girl, but you can't count if you give flowers to Master Roland."
Lyudmila glanced at him with disdain, "Look at your little bit of ghostly thoughts, I don't mean that when you are smart, you can't use it in a serious place, but there will definitely be a girl who will give flowers to Roland next." ” "How is this possible," Ivan looked around.
Yes, the horse caravan had arrived at the city gates, the uniformed patrolmen were on duty in the square outside the gates, and it was forbidden for idle people to wait for guests who came from afar, and Lord Beowulf and Lady Natasha had also walked out of the city gates with their beautiful and lovely daughters like little angels, surrounded by the guards, and were about to have a solemn ceremony of alliance with General Rudolph, where could passers-by be allowed to break in and lay flowers on such a heavily guarded occasion.
Just when Ivan was puzzled, the little girl's crisp cheers suddenly came from the city gate.
"Brother Roland, I want to kill you" With laughter like silver bells, a little girl in a snow-white princess dress with a red bow ran to Roland with a large bouquet of flowers, it was the precious daughter of the lord and wife, Bella, the "lion princess" of Kitland.
"My little princess, my brother misses you too" Roland couldn't get off the horse, and hurriedly leaned over and hugged the little Bella who was rushing over with flowers on the horse's back, and kissed her pink and cute little face.
Bella only pestered Roland to be coquettish, but she didn't notice that the expressions of the two young cavalry officers nearby were different.
Alexander almost couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, but Ivan was so happy and sad that he could only sigh that people were not as good as heaven, but he didn't expect a little Lori to appear in the end, causing him to fall short.
Alexander was excited and remembered that the bet had come, but he never expected the notary to change her face.
"What bets, are you gambling?"
Lyudmila pretended to be stupid and pretended to be professional.
"Eldest sister, don't be kidding, the gambling money between me and Vanka is a total of 20 gold coins, all in your hands" Alexander had a bad premonition.
Lyudmila sneered and said lightly: "What is the 22nd article of the military regulations, recite it aloud to me." ”:
