Chapter 1127 Determination (Part 1)
With the help of the maids, Ron put on the formal dress that had no other use except for looking good.
In order to welcome the central delegation, it is quite necessary to wear formal clothes.
Fortunately, according to the old housekeeper, the central delegation is about half an hour away from their Duke's Mansion, so there is still enough time to prepare.
After quickly putting on this formal dress specially used for attending important occasions, Ron hurried out of the room, ready to gather everyone to go outside the city to welcome the central delegation that is about to arrive.
However, just as Ron walked out of the room, a familiar figure appeared in front of Ron.
"Norid?" Ron raised his eyebrows.
The person who appeared in front of Ron was Ron's younger brother-Norid.
At this time, Norid also changed into a formal dress.
Looking at him, he seemed to have been waiting for Ron to come here for a long time.
"Brother!"
Seeing Ron coming, Norid hurriedly greeted Ron enthusiastically.
Then he winked at the servants behind him and behind Ron.
These personal servants were all old men who had worked in the Duke's Palace for many years.
Therefore, facing Norid's eyes, they naturally understood, and then retreated obediently, leaving space for Ron and Norid.
After the servants all retreated, Norid hurriedly asked Ron:
"Brother, have you thought of the wording to reject the central envoy's request for troops?"
"...Yes." Ron nodded, "I have thought of a set of decent and convincing words."
Norid clapped his hands excitedly.
"Great, brother."
"First, receive the central envoy well, and then use the words you have thought of to reject the central government's request for troops!"
"...Yes."
...
...
Although Ron's direct elders have all passed away,
Norid is the only brother.
Although there are many children, only Berlis is an adult.
Therefore, Ron only brought Norid and Perlis, escorted by 20 soldiers of the Winged Cavalry Regiment, to the outside of the city to welcome the envoys from the central government who were about to arrive.
The rain had not stopped yet, and Norid and Perlis stood a little behind Ron on both sides.
Behind the three of them stood a cavalryman of the Winged Cavalry Regiment who was responsible for holding an umbrella and protecting them from the rain.
Ron and the other three had umbrellas to shelter from the rain, but the members of the Winged Cavalry Regiment who were responsible for guarding did not have such a good treatment.
As guards, they could only expose their bodies to the rain curtain and let the rain wash their armor and bodies.
Dada dada...
--Here it comes.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Ron opened his eyes and recovered from the state of closing his eyes to rest.
Ron loved hunting, so he was very sensitive to the sounds of such animal activities.
His sight passed through the thin rain curtain and looked towards the horizon in front of him.
After a while, five figures on horseback slowly rose from the horizon in front of them.
——Hmm? What's going on...
Looking at the five figures rising from the horizon, Ron frowned while wondering in his heart.
Bellis and Nolid beside him also frowned.
Because they all found something unusual.
That is-the number of envoys is too small.
Ron counted and counted, but only counted five people.
At first, Ron thought that the other members of the envoys had not yet appeared from the horizon.
However, until these five people were far away from the horizon, no one else appeared from the horizon.
This is the first time Ron has seen such a small number of envoys.
Although the scale of the envoys sent by the central government to the vassal should not be large, it should not be so small...
——Did something unexpected happen...
——Forget it, let's not think too much for now, let's go up to greet the envoys first.
After making up his mind and deciding not to think about why the number of envoys was so small, Ron led everyone to greet the surprisingly small envoys.
…
…
The two groups gradually closed the distance.
Finally, Ron and others arrived in front of the horses of the envoys.
"Your Excellency," Ron saluted first and said respectfully, "Welcome to the Duke of Connaught."
After Ron's luggage, Paris, Nolid, and the guards also bowed their heads to the envoys in front of them.
Click - the person surrounded in the middle of the envoys jumped off the horse.
Then the other four people dressed as guards followed closely and turned over and got off the horse.
Even after jumping off the horse, the four guards still tightly guarded the side of the person who jumped off the horse first.
The person who jumped off the horse first pulled open the hood of the cloak covering his head to keep out the rain after his feet landed on the ground.
A young, but surprisingly pale, beautiful face was revealed.
"Hello, Duke of Connaught." The girl smiled, "I have heard of your name for a long time."
The girl had aqua blue hair and aqua blue eyes.
As soon as the blue-haired girl opened the hood of her cloak to protect her from the rain and revealed her face, Ron - and Berlis and Nolid standing beside him - all widened their eyes.
"Your Excellency, could it be that you are the envoy?" Ron subconsciously asked a rather rude question because he was too surprised.
Faced with Ron's rude question, the blue-haired girl didn't seem to care. She continued to maintain a warm smile and said:
"Yes, I am the envoy-Kaylor Cook."
After that, the blue-haired girl took out a piece of paper covered with a lot of mud from her cloak.
"This is a diplomatic document." The blue-haired girl-Kaylor said, "Please take a look."
Ron hurriedly stretched out his hands, respectfully took the diplomatic document from Kaylor's hands, and then read it at a glance.
On the document, whether it is the template of the text or the final central seal, there is no problem. It is a genuine diplomatic document.
After confirming the authenticity of this diplomatic document, Ron's doubts became even worse.
- Strange... When did the central government have such a young foreign minister...
In Ron's impression, among all the current foreign ministers of the central government, the youngest person is a middle-aged man who is almost 40 years old.
Ron couldn't help but think in his heart:
-Among the foreign ministers of the Central Government, it should be Carol Cook...
-Hmm? Carol Cook?
--Carol Cook... Carol Cook...
Ron kept repeating Carol's full name in his mind while searching his memory.
Because Ron always felt that this name was very familiar, it felt very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before...
Just as Ron was trying to recall the memory of the name Carol Cook--
"Ah!"
Bellis on the side suddenly screamed.
Then he asked Carol with a little excitement:
"Could it be that you are the wife of Su Cheng, the leader of the Knights of Michael--Carol Cook?"
