Tinder City.
In the Bruggen family cemetery, Grace was wearing a long black dress with a white daisy on her chest, bowed her head and stood in front of the tomb of Count Brugg, praying silently.
Behind her, gathered a group of nobles and officers who came to attend the anniversary of the Earl of Bruggen.
One year ago today, Earl Brugen led the Tinder Army, known as the First Army in the East, to fight against the Blood Cavalry Army, and the entire army was wiped out.
What's even more unbelievable is that those who fought with the fifty thousand fire velvet army were not even the main force of the blood cavalry army.
With only three thousand blood cavalry troops, they beat the Tinder Army to the ground on the frontal battlefield.
This battle can be said to have completely interrupted the backbone of the Eastern Border soldiers. Since then, the word "Blood Cavalry" has become a lingering nightmare for Eastern Border people. .
Later, Ke Lin took advantage of the situation to invade Bailu City, beheaded the Duke of St. Pros, and rebuilt the political ecology of the Eastern Realm. During this process, the Eastern Realm nobles also silently endured it, daring not to have the slightest resistance.
Unfortunately, when the orcs invaded, the blood cavalry army had no choice but to withdraw from the eastern border under the royal war order, and there was no time to consolidate the victory, thus leaving a lot of hidden dangers.
Among them, the biggest hidden danger is the candidate of the Duke of the East Territory.
Originally, Eckert St. Pros, as the first heir to the Duke of the East, was recognized by Colin and accepted as a student. According to the normal development of the plot, becoming the new Duke of the East was a matter of course.
But no one expected that he would suddenly die of illness.
Of course, the so-called "death from illness" is the external claim of the St. Pros family.
Exactly how Eckert died, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts—
How could a healthy five-year-old child die so easily?
Obviously, a force that intends to resist Colin has appeared in the Eastern Territory.
But for most of the eastern nobles, Colin and the blood cavalry are still a nightmare that they dare not resist.
Especially now, Colin is even more terrifying than a year ago.
Commanding the battle of the Loire Valley, he was successfully promoted to a paladin, and he was awarded the title of guardian of the empire... These dazzling halos made Colin a terrifying existence that the nobles of the eastern realm did not dare to look directly at.
Therefore, when the news that the Blood Cavalry Army crossed the Furious River and set foot on the Eastern Territory again came, the Eastern Territory nobles panicked.
Grace ended her prayer, turned around, and her cold eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone participating in the memorial service.
"Everyone, you must have heard that the blood cavalry is coming to Tinder City. According to the latest information, they are only more than 300 kilometers away from Tinder City, and it is estimated that they will arrive in three days."
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion.
When it comes to fear of the blood cavalry army, the Brugan family in Tinder City must be the most feared among the nobles of the Eastern Realm.
The downfall of the Tinder Army is an unforgettable pain for them, and it cannot be wiped away without two or three generations.
Grace paused and said again:
"The reason why the blood cavalry army went straight to Tinder City must be well known to all of you."
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes a little complicated.
Of course they knew the reason why the blood cavalry went straight to Tinder City.
It's not because of the news that Grace and Camilla are engaged.
A year ago, after Colin annihilated the velvet army, he swaggered into the city of velvet, which was powerless to resist, and it was Grace who entertained the **** of death in the north at that time.
Gu Yu</span> Although many people despised Grace's devotion to serving her father's enemy, no one dared to show their disgust in front of the eldest Bruggen family, and even Three points in awe for being her Colin lover.
But no one would have thought that after Marquis Orbes conspired to assassinate Eckert, he actually had Grace's idea.
This old fellow is determined to offend Colin St. Chapman.
In fact, when they first received the marriage request from Marquis Obers, most of the members of the Brugen family wanted to refuse.
They didn't want to be the target of Colin's anger.
But the problem is that Grace's grandfather, the last Earl of Brugen, actually directly agreed to the marriage.
That's right, the last Earl of Brugen was still alive, but five years ago, he handed over the title to his son in advance because he was too old to be in charge of the territory.
A year ago, Earl Brugen was killed in battle, the Tinder Army was destroyed, and when Colin led the Blood Riders into Tinder City, the old earl was still lying on the bed and pretending to be dead, not daring to come out and preside over the overall situation.
No one expected that after receiving the marriage request from the Marquis of Orbes this time, the old earl, who had not been concerned about the world for many years, suddenly appeared.
In fact, it stands to reason that before the Duke of Eastland appointed the new Earl of Brugen, the old Earl was indeed the de jure master of Tinder City, and the knights of the Brugen family had sworn allegiance to him.
It's just that the old earl didn't know whether he was confused, or was bewitched by someone, and actually agreed to the marriage of the Marquis of Orbes.
This undoubtedly puts the Brugen family in an extremely dangerous situation.
And no matter how the other members persuaded, the old earl stubbornly held his own.
Well now, blood cavalry, here we come.
When they thought that the nightmare they had experienced was about to come to Tinder City again, the members of the Brugen family couldn't help but start to tremble in their hearts.
Grace took everyone's expressions into her eyes, took a deep breath, and then said aloud:
"Grandpa is old and confused. What he did will bring endless disasters to the Brugan family and Tinder City!"
Hearing this, the UU Reading cemetery suddenly became quiet.
Everyone stared at the lonely young girl in front of them. They were both horrified and admired for her courage.
Grace didn't care about everyone's eyes, and she didn't seem to realize how deviant what she said just now. She looked calm and continued in a calm tone:
"I don't want to marry Camilla Saint-Pros!
Even more unwilling to let the Brugen family be involved in the terrible political whirlpool!
The blood cavalry is coming, we must make a choice!
So, those who are willing to support me in rejecting this engagement, please stand behind me! "
Everyone looked at this girl who had the courage to resist in surprise, and they immediately talked about it.
Gradually, the first knight who stepped behind Grace appeared.
And this seems to be a signal, and more and more people have walked over one after another.
When the lineup behind Grace got bigger and bigger, the clansmen she faced didn't have the courage to persist in place. Whether it was out of sincerity or not wanting to be isolated, in the end, everyone came to stand behind Grace.
Grace showed a satisfied smile, turned around slowly, faced the crowd again, and said aloud:
"Okay, let's re-select a bright future for the Brugen family together!"
