#108 - Section 108
A shy and gentle smile, her pure appearance made people feel good.
Looking at the spring in her eyes, and the charming tongue-licking action, Rod felt that things were not simple.
It's a pity that her barren figure and unremarkable appearance are not his type at all.
Apart from her fair skin, he could only give her a six or seven out of ten at most.
She wasn't ugly, but she didn't catch his eye either.
Rod just glanced at her casually, and in those disappointed eyes, he directly sent Jack up.
What level and status, to even think of using him.
"Sure enough, I shouldn't have had too much hope."
A few hours later, Rod couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Half a day passed, and more than a dozen invitations were sent out, but he didn't encounter a noble lady who met his expectations.
The nobles in this world are really rotten to the core.
From nobles to commoners, their minds are full of that kind of thing.
Finding a noble lady who isn't that experienced is even harder than finding gold in shit.
Chapter 97: Cinderella!
"Next, Sir Felix's territory."
Rod looked at the list in his hand, with a slight daze on his face.
Sir?
Seeing these two words, Rod even suspected that he had taken the wrong list.
However, this title has no right of inheritance. Once the person who is granted the title dies, the family will become an ordinary knight family.
And the size of the territory is only about the same as that of an ordinary knight.
Every knight family initially has the title of knight.
That's why he was so surprised.
If you want to become the queen of the king, even if the threshold is low, you must at least be born into a baronial family, right?
What the hell is a knight?
"Is this list wrong?"
Rod beckoned and called over the accompanying minister, and asked in a low voice.
"Great Knight Rod, there is no mistake. This is the name personally filled in by His Highness the Second Prince."
The minister squeezed out a smile on his face and explained in a low voice.
"Sir Felix is not only a powerful knight, but also an excellent businessman. He has accumulated huge wealth through trade in various kingdoms."
"The wealth combined is even comparable to several years of tax revenue of a kingdom, so it cannot be compared with ordinary knights."
"Moreover, Sir Felix only has daughters and has not left any heirs."
Rod nodded.
After saying so much, isn't it just because they are rich that they are exceptionally allowed to become the king's candidate queen.
He probably guessed Jesibel's thoughts. This woman's mind is full of developing and strengthening the Austin Kingdom.
Therefore, an ordinary knight who is rich but has no status background naturally becomes her target.
Without a title and a large territory, it means that they will not have strong military power in their hands, and it will be easy to control.
Moreover, this knight only has a daughter and no male heirs.
If the daughter becomes the queen, then the knight's rich family property will naturally become the king's property when the time is right.
This woman has clearly calculated everything.
Moreover, the most important thing is that this Sir Felix died a few years ago.
In other words, now in Sir Felix's house, there are only his wife and daughter and other female relatives.
In the Southern Continent, women cannot inherit territory and knight status.
Therefore, the daughter of the direct bloodline must choose a husband before the husband can inherit all the family property.
Once Sir Felix's daughter becomes the queen, this huge family property will instantly become the king's property.
It's like Bulbasaur eating Bugles and entering Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, wonderful!
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Rod said lightly, since Jesibel herself filled in the name, he couldn't help but give her face.
First, send an invitation, as for whether a knight's daughter is qualified to become a queen, it depends on her character.
He has no interest in women that anyone can sleep with.
"Oh! Mom!"
"A group of knights have come outside the manor."
"Are they here to send Princess Jesibel's ball invitation?"
At the same time, inside the manor.
Two young girls wearing luxurious long skirts were standing excitedly in the attic, looking at the knight queue slowly approaching in the distance.
"My daughters, quickly tidy up your clothes and hair, don't leave the knights with the impression that you are rude and impolite."
Behind the two girls, a woman with her hair up, wearing a gorgeous black dress and a gorgeous hat, said in a gentle tone.
"Yes, we can't leave a bad impression on the envoys."
"Where is my jewelry necklace? Damn Anesthesia, did you steal my jewelry necklace to make me look ugly in front of the knights."
"Cecilia, I don't like your broken necklace. How can it be as dazzling as my ruby? It's so rustic."
"How dare you call me rustic? 0"
The two quarreling girls started fighting without saying a word. Instantly, the gorgeous dresses and exquisitely braided hairstyles on their bodies became messy.
"Enough!"
Looking at the two stupid daughters in front of her, the black-skirted woman couldn't help but angrily stopped their boring and absurd fight.
"Take them both down and tidy up their clothes and hairstyles."
She called the servants, separated the two people, and took them downstairs to tidy up their clothes and hair accessories.
Seeing that the knights outside were about to walk into the manor, the black-skirted woman forcibly suppressed her anger and squeezed out an elegant smile on her face.
She walked out of the manor, planning to buy some time for her two stupid daughters.
"Are you Madam Temani?"
The dark night warhorse slowly stepped into the manor amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the serfs.
Rod took the lead, followed by several fully armed elite knights.
His eyes swept across the manor, and looking at the black-skirted woman walking out of the tall villa, Rod's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.
The black slim-fitting dress, with dark gold patterns, was a quite gorgeous long dress, costing a lot.
A half-sided black hat on her head.
Medieval hats were usually very luxurious. In order to show their status and wealth, nobles liked to embed various precious jewels on their hats.
This woman's hat was inlaid with a few pearls. Apart from that, there was a black gauze net covering half of her face, which looked quite simple.
But it gave people a mysterious feeling.
A slender face, not painted very brightly, only her lips were painted with bright red lip color, but it had a kind of light beauty.
Having been accustomed to those noble ladies with pale complexions that looked like ghosts, this kind of natural fair skin made Rod feel very pleasing to the eye.
Golden earrings, equally bright long hair tied behind her head, a slender waist under the waist seal, not very plump but quite upright talent.
A tall figure, slender legs, stepping on a pair of black high heels.
Looking at her, it was as if looking at an elegant and dignified noble beauty.
Clearly just the wife of a knight, the coldness and transcendence in her temperament were even more memorable than those so-called nobles.
This innate elegance and nobility made Rod feel amazing.
"That's right."
Madam Temani's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a gentle smile with distance.
Clearly smiling, but there was no trace of a smile in her calm eyes.
It even gave people a strong sense of alienation.
Rod dismounted and took out an invitation, slowly walking towards Madam Temani.
"Princess Jesibel's ball invitation, I hope that Madam can come with the young ladies at that time."
Madam Temani took the invitation, feeling the strong masculine aura, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.
But she hid it very well.
"I don't know the name of the knight?"
Temani looked at Rod, feeling that the knight in front of her was very different from the ones she had seen before.
She had never felt this kind of temperament before.
It even gave her a strong impulse.
Too strange!
Since her husband's death, she hadn't felt this strong throbbing for a member of the opposite sex for a long time.
But the pounding heart was not an illusion.
"Rod!"
"Rod, the knight who slayed the giant?"
Madam Temani widened her mouth slightly when she heard the words, and other emotions appeared in her calm eyes for the first time.
She didn't expect that the young knight in front of her was actually the legendary knight who was all the rage around the Austin Kingdom.
Slaying the giant alone and taking the giant's heart.
What a powerful force this is?
However, she didn't expect that the knight who killed the legendary giant would be so young.
She thought it would be a middle-aged man of no small age.
Madam Temani's eyes flashed, and she suddenly thought of something. The look in her eyes looking at Rod became brighter and brighter.
She had heard that the Austin Kingdom had publicly offered a reward, and anyone who could offer the heart of a giant could get a baronial fief and title.
In other words, the young man in front of her would become a true baron before long.
A baron, plus the honor of slaying the giant.
This seems to be a very good choice.
She has two daughters. Although they are beautiful, they did not inherit her wit and intelligence in terms of personality.
Instead, they inherited the stupidity and irritability of their stupid father.
Even if they participate in the prince's ball, the chances of being favored by the prince and becoming queen are pitifully small.
Even if one of her daughters is really favored by the prince, there will still be one left.
