#168 - Section 168
A marquis's kingdom, whether in terms of military strength or territory population, is at least two or three times that of an ordinary kingdom.
Faced with the crushing force of nearly double the military strength, even if the Yarman Kingdom could withstand the offensive from the Chris Marquisate, it would suffer heavy losses.
Count Yarman looked at Rhode with hopeful eyes, hoping that Rhode would take the initiative to stay and help the Yarman Kingdom resist the Chris Marquisate.
The difference in combat power in this war is too great. Without the help of strong foreign aid, the defeat of the Yarman Kingdom is only a matter of time.
At that time, he, as a captured king, would be miserable.
Wars between nobles rarely involve the killing of opposing nobles.
After all, if you can kill others today, someone can kill you tomorrow.
They are all nobles, and no one wants to become the next unlucky one.
Therefore, even if you are really captured, you can safely return to your territory by paying enough ransom.
All nobles abide by this unwritten rule.
However, Queen Frannie hates him to the bone. If he really falls into this woman's hands, his end will definitely not be good.
If Rhode, this great knight, is willing to stay in the Yarman Kingdom, there may still be a chance of victory in this war.
Rhode, who was being stared at by Count Yarman, frowned slightly.
Although he doesn't think much of this Count Yarman.
However, for the sake of Airo, he couldn't just watch the Yarman Kingdom perish.
After all, Count Yarman only has one daughter, Airo. If nothing unexpected happens, the entire kingdom will be inherited by Airo in the future.
"However, as an honorary knight of the Austin Kingdom, I have no reason to protect the Yarman Kingdom."
A knight cannot be loyal to two monarchs. This is something that every knight and noble knows.
No matter how powerful a knight is, if he is loyal to two monarchs at the same time, he will be despised.
Count Yarman was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he couldn't force anything.
"However, Princess Jessibel of the Austin Kingdom is still missing a queen. If Princess Airo can marry Princess Jessibel, the Austin Kingdom may help the Yarman Kingdom to resist the attack of the Chris Marquisate."
Rhode's words instantly cheered up Count Yarman.
The distance between the Austin Kingdom and the Yarman Kingdom is not very far. They are only separated by a few small baronies.
If the Austin Kingdom is willing to send troops, it can directly cross these baronies to support the Yarman Kingdom.
With the strength of the two kingdoms, it is enough to fight against a marquisate.
However, Count Yarman quickly frowned.
He knows a little bit about the situation in the Austin Kingdom. The king has just passed away, and the second prince, Jessibel, has become the designated heir to the throne.
It won't be long before he will succeed to the throne.
Ask for flowers
But, who can guarantee that Jessibel will choose Airo to be the queen?
Rhode smiled slightly.
Others can't guarantee it, but for him, isn't this just a matter of one sentence?
After all, even helping to open the clam will be done by him, the person involved.
This woman, Jessibel, is just watching from the sidelines at most.
Therefore, as long as he is willing, Airo's identity as queen is basically set.
Looking at Rhode's guarantee, Count Yarman was dubious, but he has no other choice now.
I can only agree to let Airo attend the ball.
And now, the only problem is the curse on Airo's body.
If you want Airo to become queen, the curse problem must be solved.
Otherwise, once the curse breaks out, Airo will fall into endless sleep.
Who would marry a woman who sleeps for the rest of her life?
Unless he is a fool.
"How long is there before the curse breaks out?"
Rhode raised his eyebrows, wanting to break Airo's curse is very simple.
He has the blessing of the dwarves on his body, which can break the power of the curse.
Therefore, you only need to inject the dew of life into the body when the curse breaks out to remove most of the curse.
As for the remaining curse power, it will be almost completely purified after a few more times.
However, the curse on Airo's body is very special. It is only in a dormant state now, and will only manifest after the curse breaks out.
Therefore, he must wait until the curse breaks out before he can evolve.
"If I remember correctly, it should be today."
Count Yarman frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized.
Today is Airo's twentieth birthday.
Is it such a coincidence?
Rhode was stunned. Jessibel's ball to choose a queen also starts this afternoon.
Isn't this a coincidence?
Looking at the time, there is still plenty of time.
Rhode is not in a hurry to go back.
After all, he doesn't need to worry about Mrs. Temani's side.
Mrs. Temani has been a noble lady for so many years anyway.
She still understands some basic noble etiquette.
She doesn't need him to remind her what to prepare for the ball.
When the time comes, just meet at the palace.
As for the other aspects of the ball, there will naturally be special ministers to arrange it.
His only use is to show up as an honorary knight when the ball starts.
The rest of the matter will be left to Jessibel to solve.
And the rest of his business is to prepare to spend a wonderful night with the queen.
Jessibel is a woman and cannot have in-depth communication with the queen.
Moreover, in order to prevent the woman's identity from being exposed, he will probably become a regular visitor to the king's palace in the future.
After all, marriage alone is not enough. If the queen does not give birth to an heir, how will the kingdom continue?
If nothing unexpected happens, the important task of helping the king give birth to an heir capable of inheriting the kingdom will also fall on his head.
Thinking about it, it's really hard work.
However, who made him a naturally warm-hearted person.
Therefore, he can only grit his teeth and endure it.
"I have a way to solve the curse. Please prepare a room for me, Your Majesty."
Rhode, who was already prepared, made his request.
Although he can't solve the curse for the time being, he can help Airo alleviate the time of the curse's outbreak.
So as not to faint directly at the ball when the curse breaks out.
A knight?
Also have a way to remove the curse?
Count Yarman looked at him suspiciously, but still asked the maid to clean up a clean room.
"I don't want to marry Prince Jessibel."
Leaving the palace hall, Airo suddenly whispered in Rhode's ear.
"Why?"
Rhode raised his eyebrows.
"I don't like it, and I haven't met Prince Jessibel. If I am to marry someone, I only want to marry Mr. Angel."
Airo looked at Rhode with a pure face.
She had seen the meaning of marriage in books. Only two people who love each other and want to be together forever can get married.
She doesn't love that guy named Jessibel.
If she really wants to say who she wants to be with forever, it's only the angel in front of her.
"Marrying her is the same as marrying me."
Rhode touched Airo's head. He really likes this girl who is pure and stubborn.
Not only because of her figure and appearance, but also because of her kind heart.
Compared to those lewd and absurd upper-class nobles, Airo is like a lotus flower in the mud, making people pity her.
"Um..."
Airo, who was being touched on the head, couldn't help but let out a charming voice.
Rhode's mouth twitched slightly. He had already discovered one thing before.
This woman's body seems to have a sensitivity beyond ordinary people.
Just a simple touch and pinch will easily reach the limit.
Obviously with a pure face and a pure heart, she has a body that is even more cheap than Xing Nu.
This extreme contrast is really hard to resist.
Chapter 135 Extreme contrast, a natural toy!
Purity and temptation.
Extreme contrast.
Rhode can't imagine how much Airo would collapse if he put a succubus mark on such a sensitive body and had a real in-depth exchange.
I guess, even a touch would make her cry a lot of tears.
Taking Airo into the cleaned room, Rhode put away the Immortal Armor and revealed the vibrant Tree of Life.
"Mr. Angel?"
Airo looked at Rhode suspiciously, wondering why he took out the Tree of Life.
"Drink it, drinking this will relieve your curse."
Rhode touched Airo's head and slowly pressed down, with a gentle smile on his face.
The dew of life can relieve the outbreak of the curse.
As for really removing the curse, it still needs the deep purification of the Tree of Life.
After all, the blessing of the dwarves, the closer the contact, the stronger the effect.
