Give Me the Name of God

It was impossible to become a grand duke. Bessa Liu was a little excited, but not crazy enough. After all, the poisoning was not deep enough.

He really admired Manda and made an important decision.

Since the Southeast Army lost more than half, he planned to recruit another group of soldiers and asked his daughter to rush to Lianyucheng with the army.

He wants to marry his daughter Princess Ivana to Manda.

This princess is one of the most famous beauties in the entire Romulu Kingdom, and it is said that countless nobles have fallen in love with her.

The princess is nineteen years old this year, and Manda is seventeen. They are a good match in terms of age. Manda is the youngest marquis in the entire Romulu Kingdom, and his status is also very suitable.

Everyone thought they were a match made in heaven, and even the Leo woman didn't dare to object.

"You can marry her," the lion girl tried her best to hide her grievances, "but don't forget that I am also one of your family members."

Manda didn't care about this: "Why should I marry her? Give me a reason?"

The lion girl smiled. Regardless of whether this was true or not, Manda's attitude made her feel great comfort.

This comfort is enough. She will not drag Manda down on this matter: "I heard the earl say that the marriage between nobles represents the most valuable alliance. If you refuse the good intention of the Grand Duke, it is tantamount to Made a grudge against him.”

Manda smiled casually: "If you can't even make the decision to marry a woman, this noble life will be too boring."

Eudora sneered at the side: "I'm afraid you won't say that when you see the princess. She is one of the best beauties in the entire Romulu Kingdom."

Manda disagreed: "Is she more beautiful than Roma?"

The lion girl and Eudora trembled at the same time. Although the princess was famous for her beauty, she might not be able to meet Manda's beauty standards.

The result of the Lianyucheng battle spread quickly throughout the country. The poet was the first to receive the news in Qixing Mountain. He was very excited. It was a victory for his family. He improved the food for all his craftsmen and soldiers, including those who had been there. The Grand Duke of Shelty was under his guard, and he prepared a dish of bacon and a whole roasted chicken for the Grand Duke.

"The Southern Allied Forces captured Lianyucheng. You should be proud of your soldiers."

Shelty held a chicken wing in his mouth and said, "Are they still my army? What does it have to do with me if they win the battle?"

The poet said: "If they are defeated, Bucken will lead his army to occupy your territory, rule your people, and kill your wife and children. Doesn't this have anything to do with you?"

"So what if it has something to do with it? I can't change anything." Shelty spat out a piece of chicken bone and pulled off a chicken leg. "It would be nice to win a few more battles. At least today's meal is decent."

The poet smiled and said: "If you like it, I'll ask the cook to make you some more bacon tonight."

"There is no need for bacon. The heat is not right and the seasonings are not right. There are two more roasted chickens and one is not enough."

"Two more?" The poet was stunned. "A roast chicken weighs four pounds. Do you want to eat three?"

Shelty smiled and said: "As I get older, I don't have a good appetite. When I was young, I could eat five roast chickens like this."

The poet nodded and said: "Then I will send you five. Today is a day to be happy."

"Bring me some more wine," Shelty raised his glass and said, although he tried his best to hide it, there was still a look of joy on his face, "To celebrate today's victory, let's drink!"

Denke in the north received the news, which made his situation even more embarrassing, because he still did not capture Leather Shield City.

Longsen, who was guarding Silver Pine City, also received the news. He didn't understand why Manda joined forces with the God's Punishment Army, why he wanted to turn the war into a civil war between the God's Punishers, and he didn't understand what the point of doing so was.

What confused him even more was why Dwight gave up on Lianyucheng? Longesen had heard of his reputation. An outstanding general should focus on the battlefield and should not make such ridiculous decisions for factors outside the battlefield.

The person who found it most ridiculous was Bucken. This battle completely subverted his view of Dwight.

In his eyes, no matter how arrogant and arrogant Dwight is, he is at least a very reliable general. But now it seems that he is not only unreliable, but also has the possibility of betraying him.

Bucken immediately issued an order for Dwight to stop the enemy forces outside the royal capital. He was not allowed to enter any town before retaking Lianyucheng.

At the same time, he sent a letter to the Pope, requesting that Dwight be stripped of his command of the Lone Shadow Legion.

The victory in the Battle of Lianyucheng gave great confidence to the nobles in the southeast. The lords who had previously retained their reservations tried their best to raise an army of 8,000 people and followed Princess Ivana to the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke was satisfied with the quantity and quality of the army. The only thing that dissatisfied him was Ivana's attitude.

On the day when the princess arrived, Besa Liu invited Manda to greet her together. Although Manda had no interest in the princess, it was hard to refute the Grand Duke's face.

When the princess got off the carriage, the soldiers' breathing suddenly became deep and rapid. For one of the most beautiful beauties in Romulu Country, this was not a flattery.

She gently lifted her golden hair, smiled slightly, lifted up her skirt, and curtsied to her father.

This single movement caused the soldiers to lose the rhythm of their heartbeats. When she raised her head, her green eyes flickered back and forth in the deep bird's nest. The soldiers who had experienced the bloody storm couldn't help but start to tremble.

This was a girl who was so impeccably beautiful that even the lion girl couldn't help but lower her head. Pluto sighed in his heart that among all the women he had ever seen, only this princess was more beautiful than Horna.

Of course, this is a normal person's view. There are two men present who are not very interested in the princess's beauty.

One was Manda. The princess's frail figure made him too lazy to take a second look.

What kind of beauty is a woman without flesh?

She can't even catch up to half of Roma, and she's far behind Leo Girl. Where there should be meat, Leo Girl has never hesitated!

The other was the Minister of State. For some unknown reason, he had some disgust with the princess. Manda was still trying to hide it, but he directly wrote his disgust on his face.

Besa Liu hurriedly introduced his daughter to Manda. Manda bowed to the princess in a very gentlemanly manner, and the princess raised her skirt perfunctorily as a return gift.

Her smile disappeared and was replaced by a face full of disgust. Walking from the outside of the city to the castle, Bessaliu kept introducing Manda's heroic deeds to her daughter. The princess had a frosty face and never looked at Manda, let alone talked to her. Manda says a word.

This made Besa Liu very embarrassed, but made Manda very relieved. Since the princess didn't like him, there was no need for him to reject the Grand Duke's kindness.

After the princess was settled in a place and it was time for father and daughter to be alone, Grand Duke Besariu became angry.

"Do you know the purpose of why I asked you to come here? What did your attitude mean just now?"

The princess showed no sign of weakness: "Father, you should know my thoughts very well. There is no way I will marry that vulgar wild boy!"

"Where do you see his vulgarity?"

"Everything, the first time I saw him, I thought he was disgusting!"

Besa Liu was furious. He raised his hand and wanted to slap Ivana, but seeing the stubborn look in her eyes, the slap failed.

"I think you are too tired after traveling all the way. Take a good rest for a few days and we will discuss your wedding date again."

“This is non-negotiable,” Ivana gritted her teeth, “I will not marry her!”

"This is my decision!" Bessa Liu roared, "I let you choose when to marry him, but I didn't let you choose whether to marry him or not!"

"Wait until the day I turn eighty!" The princess roughly tore off her long skirt, and the maid quickly brought her nightgown.

Besaliu left angrily, but saw a middle-aged man at the door. The man was wearing a short robe and looked like a servant, but he only bowed slightly to Besaliu and gave a perfunctory salute.

"Who are you?" Besaliu frowned.

"I am the princess's bodyguard." The man replied.

"Why don't you wear a suit? Where are your weapons?"

The man smiled and said: "I don't need battle clothes or weapons. The princess doesn't have so many restrictions on me."

Besaliu stared at the man for a while and said in a deep voice: "Disappear immediately and don't let me see you again, otherwise I will chop off your head."
