Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

"I...I won't do it next time."

The young knight's face turned pale, and Zachary was now fully awake.

After Elsie let go of Zachary, he heard the young knight say this, patted the other's shoulder lightly and whispered.

"Some things are beyond our control. Boy, you will understand in the future that the bright and beautiful appearance of big shots is made up of dirty and smelly things..."

Elsie has some channels to learn things that ordinary knights don't know. He has many female confidantes, and there are many noble lords who are deeply in love with women.

Under the influence of alcohol and some hallucinogenic drugs that make people feel happy and extremely excited, the nobles would occasionally say things that they would normally keep to themselves.

And these words are sometimes extracted from the mouths of confidantes by men like him.

Of course, it is not necessarily a trap. Some people also tell him on their own initiative in order to maintain a good relationship with him.

Elsie was very lustful, but the women who had sex with him all liked him, probably because he was really good at sweet talk or because he had a good look.

In short, in a sense, he was better informed than the fallen nobleman Conrad.

Before following Earl Brett to the Far North Territory, he had heard some similar remarks like the Emperor gave His Highness Shiavi to the Lord of the Snowfield on his own initiative, instead of the Lord of the Snowfield forcing him to marry because of his beauty.

It was just that the nobles privately spread rumors of true or false, and not many people took them seriously. After all, the children sent to the snowfield were not their own, and it had no impact on them. Moreover, exchanging one person for so many captives was a very cost-effective deal no matter how you looked at it.

Not to mention that there were many children of nobles among the captives. For the nobles, there were so many princes and princesses in the royal family. What did it matter if they sent one or two away? As long as their own children could come back, it would be fine.

Moreover, for most people, the combination of the Imperial Rose and the Lord of the Snowfield is not a good deal.

It was a great devotion, a feat performed for the glory of the empire.

The royal family’s preaching is always very on point, and people’s hearts are easily deceived and controlled.

As long as it is beneficial to the empire and does not seem to harm its own interests, no one will care who the emperor of the empire is or how many princes and princesses are given away.

Just like after the fall of the former glorious empire, how many people can still remember or dare to mention His Highness Elias?

Elsie couldn't help but grasp the golden dragon emblem hanging on his collar. Most of the knights who joined the Royal Knights with him wanted to become the sword and shield of the glory of the empire.

But now...

How many people can still remember His Highness?

Anyway, he hasn't thought about His Highness Elias for a long time. After seeing such a brilliant man, there is no one else in the world for whom he would give everything.

What Zachary didn't finish saying once caused him pain for many years.

Why, why on earth, His Highness was so powerful, why did he perish together with the monster in such a tragic way?

No one knew what happened at that time. When the bad news reached the empire, the royal family only briefly wrote in the announcement that His Highness Elias was killed in battle on the night of the red moon on his way back to the imperial capital, and the entire Dragon Wing Knights he led were annihilated, including His Highness Elias's 8-year-old eldest son, His Highness Egbert...

"Today's lunch has a very delicious soup. We brought a pot of it up. It's a rare opportunity to have something delicious!"

"This soup is really good. I haven't tasted it before."

"I don't know if I can learn it. I think my family would like it too."

"I don't think so. The Palasso people at the post station haven't given us a good look in all these days."

"But he didn't do anything bad."

"That's true."

Elsie's recollection was interrupted by the noise of the young knights entering the room. He wiped his face, looked at the young men and said with a smile: "What is so delicious? Bring it to us to try. It seems that after drinking the beer of the Parasau people, everything I eat now tastes delicious."

Conrad nodded in agreement, and Zachary had already jumped over to the soup pot.

Young men's emotions come and go quickly. Elsie propped up his chin and looked at the young people who had become active again. The frivolous smile on his face just now faded a little.

After returning to the empire, it won’t be long before the young people slowly forget what happened here, and the beautiful little prince is destined to be forgotten in this far north.

Although she didn't see the other person's face, Elsie could judge from her years of experience that the Imperial Rose that the Lord of the Snowfield couldn't let go of must be a top beauty.

Speaking of beauties, the distant glory of the empire resurfaced in Elsie's interrupted memories.

It may be a little offensive, but they all privately felt that His Highness Ilias's appearance was unmatched in the entire Laer continent.

The current Majesty can be said to be handsome, while the Queen’s appearance is not particularly outstanding. The princes and princesses born to the Queen are of above-average appearance, but none of them are too stunning.

Elsie was a little puzzled as to how the emperor and queen could give birth to such a beautiful child. Although he didn't know what the Imperial Rose looked like, the appearance that would satisfy the people of Paraso must be a stunning and unforgettable appearance like that of His Highness Elias.
