Chapter 1128 Determination (Part 2)

Bellis's words awakened Ron's memory.

Thanks to what Bellis said just now, Ron finally remembered who Carol Cook was.

And Carol's next words also verified that Ron's memory was not wrong.

"Yeah." Carol showed a little surprise, "You actually recognized me."

"Of course I recognized you!" Bellis said excitedly, "I admire Captain Cheng the most! So when I heard your name just now, I immediately remembered that Captain Cheng had a wife named Carol Cook, and your appearance was exactly in line with the rumors! I was still wondering just now - did I make a mistake, I didn't expect that you were actually Captain Cheng's wife!"

Bellis admired Su Cheng, who was young, had made great military achievements and was famous throughout the continent - Ron also knew this.

Ron was also very interested in Su Cheng, a young man.

After Su Cheng became the leader of the Michael Knights, Ron had been paying attention to Su Cheng's news.

That's why he just felt that the name Carol Cook sounded familiar.

"Miss Carol." Ron's eyes were full of shock, "Why are you here?"

In Ron's cognition, as Su Cheng's wife, Carol should stay in the North, why did she appear in the Dukedom of Connaught, and came here as a central envoy.

"This is a long story... In short, the original ambassador was seriously injured on the way to your territory and could not go to your territory, so I happened to save this envoy and decided to help him complete the mission of the envoy to your territory..."

As soon as Carol finished speaking, her body suddenly shook slightly.

Then-Carol seemed to have lost all her strength and suddenly fell forward.

"Miss Carol."

Ron exclaimed while stretching out his hands to help Carol.

Fortunately, Ron was quick enough to hold down Carol's shoulders and support her body before she fell to the ground.

"Madam!"

"Miss Carol!"

And Carol's four guards,

as well as Berlis and Nolid beside Ron, all cast worried glances at Carol.

"Miss Carol." Ron looked at Carol in surprise, "Are you okay? You seem to have a high fever!"

After putting his hands on Carol's shoulders, Ron's palms keenly sensed that Carol's body temperature was a little unusual.

"Well..." Kaylor forced a faint bitter smile on her pale face, "It is true that I have a fever, but it is just a minor problem..."

"Madam!" A guard closest to Kaylor said urgently, "Please stop being so stubborn!"

After that, the guard raised his head and said to Ron:

"Your Excellency the Duke! Madam was attacked by bandits on the way to your territory! She was hit by a crossbow arrow in the back!"

"In order to reach your territory as soon as possible, Madam has not received professional treatment and has been enduring the pain!"

"Your Excellency the Duke, please arrange for a doctor to treat Madam as soon as possible!"

The words of the guard moved Ron, Boris, and Nolid.

Paris was the first to recover from the shock. She turned her head and shouted to a soldier of the Winged Cavalry Regiment behind her:

"Go back to the Duke's Mansion! Ask the old housekeeper to arrange the best doctor quickly!"

"Yes!"

"Miss Carol." Ron, who also recovered from the shock, said to Carol anxiously, "You look really bad now! Let's go back to the Duke's Mansion first! After you have a good rest, we can slowly talk about business!"

After that, Ron looked at Carol, who was a head shorter than him, with a complicated face.

——I didn't expect that the person who came to my territory was the wife of Captain Cheng...

——She is so young, she looks like she is only in her early 20s.

——Miss Carol obviously didn't have to take on this hard job and come to my territory so hard.

——In order to come to my territory as soon as possible, you gave up the treatment of your wounds and endured the pain to hurry on your way...

——You want to come to my territory as soon as possible and borrow soldiers from me to support Pendragon as soon as possible, even if you die...

——Even Miss Carol, who doesn't need to bear such danger, is risking her life for the future of the empire.

——But I...

The dark clouds above my head have not yet dispersed, and the drizzle is still falling from the sky.

It was obviously a very damp and cool weather, but Ron felt his cheeks were surprisingly hot at this time...

"...Mr. Ron, thank you for your kindness."

At this moment, Carol suddenly spoke.

She gently parted Ron's hands that were holding her shoulders and tried to stand up straight.

"Rest, treatment, etc., we'll talk about it later."

"Mr. Ron, you should know why I came to your territory."

"Mr. Ron, please lend us your Winged Cavalry Regiment, Pendragon needs your help."

Kerol didn't make any more extra politeness and greetings.

He stared into Ron's eyes quietly and gently asked for the loan of troops - that's all.

Ron felt the tightness in his chest suddenly worsened.

- What's going on with this tightness in my chest...

Ron pursed his lips and clenched his hands involuntarily.

——Damn it...Even Miss Carol has risked her life for this country, so how can I, as the first vassal of the Britannia Empire, be inferior to Miss Carol...

——But...I have made an agreement with Norid.

——I have already thought of the words to perfunctorily deal with the envoy.

——Calm down...Ron, calm down...

——Don't make the wrong decision because of a momentary impulse.

——Miss Carol's heroic act of risking her life for this country is indeed admirable.

——But why should I compare myself with Miss Carol?

——Miss Carol is Miss Carol, and I am me.

——I am the 18th Duke of Connaught, and it is my duty to protect the greatest interests of my family and the people in my territory.

——If the entire combat power of the Winged Cavalry Regiment is sent to support Pendragon, it will cause great damage to the military and financial resources of my territory.

——Even if I give my all to support Pendragon, there is still a great possibility that I will lose this battle to defend Pendragon.

——Even if I win, the compensation given by the central government may not be enough to make up for my losses... After all, the central government has always been very bad to us vassals...

——Thinking about it, it is better to just perfunctorily deal with Miss Carol and send only a part of the cavalry regiment to deal with the central government's request for troops.

——Yes, it is still not right to support Pendragon with all our strength.

——……

——……But……

——……

——……But……

——……

——……Ahh! Damn it! Why on earth is this happening...

——Why is my chest getting more and more stuffy...!

At this moment, Ron suddenly felt that his right fist was wrapped in something warm.
