Arod released Grace's freedom and right to choose. She could want to go anywhere. Grace stared at Arod for a long time and hadn't spoken. When she left Arod's tent, she felt that her legs seemed not her own, and her mind was in chaos. Arod once gave her a goal, which was to defeat Danish King Banuk and regain the throne of his father, but now this goal seems out of reach.

"Is this okay?" Sir Ron walked in. He heard Arod's order outside the tent, as if other nobles were unable to understand Arod's thoughts. Isn't it a normal choice for a nobleman to trade a pagan for a piece of territory? But Arod released Grace.

"That's it, send someone to Zeland to make Julian alert to the movements of the Viking warriors and prevent Danish King Banuk from trying to retake the island." Arod said to Sir Ron.

"It's the Count." Sir Ron bowed to Arod, and couldn't help but sigh as he raised his head and turned around.

When Sir Ron sent an envoy to the island of Zeland, a noble guest came to Arod's camp. When he put down his cloak, he found that it was Prince Otto. Arod hurriedly bowed to Prince Otto and ordered his personal servant Harren to bring the wine glass and the wine pot to pour sweet wine for Prince Otto.

"Your Highness, why did you come to my tent at this time?" Arod asked in confusion as he waited for Prince Otto to sit down.

"Earl Mecklenburg, congratulations on your acquisition of another territory." Prince Otto raised the wine glass in his hand and congratulated Arod. In his opinion, Arod did not immediately agree to the Danish King Banuk, but was just a bargaining act.

"Maybe I will be forced to fight the King of Denmark alone." Arod smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine, saying to Prince Otto.

"What? Fighting with the King of Denmark, what's going on? Do you want to start a war without regard to the king's order?" Prince Otto frowned. Sometimes the nobles' ideas are different from those of the royal family. Even if the king truces with the Danes, if the nobles do not agree, they may violate the truce. However, from the moment, there is no need to fight against the Danes at all. Compared with the Duke of Eble and the Mason nobles are eager to divide the spoils and return to their territory. Then it is Arod's own decision to start a war, which will leave Arod's impression and stain on Arod's belligerent. Fighting with the newly baptized Danish king without support will also cause dissatisfaction from the Holy See. Did Arod consider these issues? Prince Otto thought in his heart that he had read Arod wrongly. This is just a reckless and warlike noble.

"Yes. I must hold Zeland in my hand, but I have no interest in betraying Grace's happiness." Arod had a good impression of the young prince, and unknowingly told the truth under the stimulation of alcohol.

"Oh. For the happiness of a woman, the Viking woman named by the King of Denmark, haha." After hearing Aruod's words, Prince Otto couldn't help laughing. How willful he was. He even fought with the King of Denmark for a woman. But isn't the knight spirit like this? Thinking of this, Prince Otto felt that the two of them were surprisingly similar in this regard.

"Yes, she was captured while attacking the port of Mecklenburg, but it is said that her father was killed by Banuk, so it would be too painful for Grace to marry an enemy who killed her father. Although it was in this dark era, I couldn't do such cruel things." Arod said to Prince Otto.

"You have a kind heart, Lord Earl, but I don't think you will win against the King of Denmark. Give up. If you want to win the island of Zeland and help Grace, this kind of thing is simply impossible."

"Um." After hearing Prince Otto's words, Aruod also reassessed whether he had the strength to continue to occupy the island of Zeland. Suddenly, the tent fell into a silent silence. At this moment, a strong wind seemed to be outside. In the summer weather, it seemed that the child's face changed as soon as possible. Soon the sky outside flashed across the sky, and the sound of thunder like a war drum sounded.

"It's raining so soon." Harren, the personal servant, held an empty wine pot and prepared to make some wine for the two noble adults. The wine barrels were placed in the corner outside the tent, but when he walked out of the tent, he suddenly saw a woman in the rain that seemed to have disappeared.

When the messengers sent by Sir Ron returned from the island of Zeland, they brought Aroud a bad news, that is, the Slavic warriors who occupied the island of Zeland led by Julian might withdraw Ms. Marty's castle, because they received news from Ms. Marty that the army of Kang Tuoyi, who claimed to be the chief of Mecklenburg, was gathering, posing a great threat to Ms. Marty's territory, and this new situation put Aroud in trouble.

"Mr. Julian was under great pressure to attack the island of Zeland. In Ms. Marty's court, the Slavic nobles were increasingly divided, and the external threat of Contoy's allies was in extremely dangerous situation." Sir Ron reported to Arod that the intelligence team from Harvey also provided intelligence. It seemed that Arod had to give up the territorial requirements of Zeland. Then this time, Arod could only gain some false reputation, but his real benefits were obtained very little.

"There is no way, we can only find a way in the future. We cannot lose the ally of Ms. Marty." Arod sighed, and he led Sir Ron and his servants to re-enter Schlei Sugburg, and met with Danish King Banuk to formally refuse the conditions.

"Ah, Count of Mecklenburg, welcome." Danish king Banuk, who was the master, sat in the lord's seat, looked at Arod and others walking in, and said loudly.

"Dear King of the Danes, His Majesty Banuk, I am here to answer your two conditions." Aroud looked at the Lord's seat leisurely at this time, with Monk Warner standing next to him, who was completely like a Christian king. At this time, the orders to Monk Warner's bishop in the Nordic region had not been conveyed from Rome. This was because of the long journey, but everyone knew that Monk Warner's contribution was invaluable.

"Please say." Danish king Banuk sat up slightly, nodded to Arod, saying that he had lost the support of the Viking Warriors, but at this time he felt that believing in a new religion was not a bad thing. On the contrary, he could gain more powerful strength. As a king who ruled the Danish tribe, although Banuk was in his twilight years, he had the ambition to not lose to the young, that is, to unify the entire Vikings in the Vikan region in his own name.

"There is no problem in hiring the German Mercenary Group. You only need to pay the mercenary group every week. Then I will ask the newly appointed Colonel Andrew to sign a contract with you. The second condition needs to be discussed again." Arod thought that it would be good if he could find a buyer for the German Mercenary Group. Although the German Mercenary Group has reliable strength and brave combat, it is still under pressure to maintain a standing army in this era. If he can make money by hiring mercenaries like the Swiss, it would be a good business.

"The second condition?" Danish King Banuk looked at Arod in confusion. At this time, King Henry of East Frank also walked in. The negotiations between Arod and King Banuk of Denmark were the last part of the peace talks. As long as the negotiations between Denmark King Banuk and Arod were completed, King Henry would lead his army back to Saxony. However, when Prince Otto told King Henry that Arod was about to refuse, King Henry became a little nervous. He did not want the stable situation to appear again, so he came to watch the final ending in person.

"I'm sorry~~~~." But when Aruod was about to refuse, the roar of the door was heard from behind. The nobles in the hall looked at each other and saw a Nordic girl walking in from outside the door. Her tall figure and fair skin made the men look at her.

"Gris." The wrinkles on Danish King Banuk seemed to have become deeper. He stood up from his seat. Arod turned around and saw that it was really Grace.

"Why are you here?" Aruod asked Grace who had walked to him.

"Earl Mecklenburg, why didn't you wait for me when you left?" Grace smiled at Arod. The girl's face was particularly beautiful, and her golden braids were carefully taken care of.

"Earl Mecklenburg, what are you going to apologize to me just now?" Danish King Banuk took his sight back at this time, remembering what Arod seemed to be saying just now, so he asked.

"Oh, I." Seeing Grace's appearance, Arod didn't know what to say for a moment, but Grace raised her slender arm to stop Arod from speaking.

"His Majesty Banuk, the Earl of Mecklenburg is here to tell you that I agree to be your wife, but the Earl of Mecklenburg thinks that the wedding ceremony may be very simple, so he apologizes." Grace said instead of Arod, and Arod was extremely surprised. He did not expect that Grace would enter the tiger's mouth and agreed to become the queen of Danish King Banuk.

"Oh, really? It's great. Don't worry, the ceremony will be held in a few weeks. We have enough time to prepare. The Earl of Mecklenburg thanks for your kindness. Grace, my new queen, invites you." Danish King Banuk danced excitedly. He raised his left hand and said to Grace. He said, "I can marry such a beautiful Nordic girl in my twilight years. It's really a teenager who is crazy about being able to marry such a beautiful Nordic girl.

"Yes, your majesty." Grace walked forward docilely and held the old king's rough hand, which made Danish King Banuk laugh even more proudly.

"Zeland is yours, Count of Mecklenburg." Danish King Banuk did not forget his promise. He shouted to Arod. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
