Section 107 Situation

"Please give me my sincerest congratulations to the achievements of Lord Arod.△↗, but this matter requires the consent of His Majesty the King, and I will raise it to my father as soon as possible." Prince Otto stood up and said to Webster.

"I will, and there is another thing Lord Arod hopes to tell you." Webster also understood that such an important thing could not be that he would get the royal family's promise in an instant.

"What's the matter?" Prince Otto asked curiously.

"Isn't your Highness curious about why Lord Arod occupied the land along the Baltic Sea so quickly?"

"This is indeed something that surprised me." Prince Otto showed a puzzled look when he heard this. He could not imagine why Arod did it with the power of a county.

"Tell me, I haven't heard such an epic war story in a long time." Princess Anglo-Saxon patted her hands and showed a look of joy on her face. Although life in the palace is free of food and clothing, it is very boring. If there is a story that can nourish life, it is of course the nobles are happy.

"Yeah, get a stool for this messenger." Prince Otto was also interested. At the request of his newlywed wife, he asked Webster to sit next to him.

"It would be great if there was a lyre. In fact, the young man was very good at chanting narrative." Webster quickly said to Prince Otto.

"Oh, you can chant, it's amazing. I wonder if you're better than the bard of the Upper West Frank?" Princess Anglo-Saxon was even more happy. It was rare to have a minstrel like a messenger.

"Give him a lyre." At this time, even Prince Otto was intrigued, and he immediately asked his servant to get a lyrere.

Webster held the lyre in his arms, then plucked the strings with his fingers. The crisp sound of the strings jingled. Webster closed his eyes and sang softly. He sang Arod's conquest of the Baltic land almost in a heroic and epic way, but it also vaguely emphasized the powerful role of the cavalry. Sure enough, Princess Anglo-Saxon and other nobles were attracted by the content of the story, but Prince Otto heard the important information.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow." When Webster finished singing the whole story, many people had gathered in the courtyard, including nobles and servants of princes. Applause rang out the moment Webster's singing fell.

"You sang so well. I was completely brought into a classic war." Princess Anglo-Saxon patted her little hands, and her cheeks turned red due to excitement. The fight between men on the battlefield always attracted the ladies in the palace. They completely ignored the cold side of the war and gave the war more heroic romantic plots in a brain-searching manner.

"I am just an amateur, and I can't compare with the bards of West Frank." Webster stood up and bowed to the people around him, and said modestly.

"You are really too modest. To be honest, I think you are much better than the bards in West Frank." Princess Anglo-Saxon said to Webster with appreciation.

"I. I wonder if I can let me drink some water?" Webster reached out and pinched his voice. His long chanting made his voice a little hoarse.

"Popularize the wine quickly." Princess Anglo-Saxon gestured behind her, and a wine-pourier filled Webster with a wine pot with a glass of wine.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Webster couldn't wait to put the cup to his mouth, and the sweet red wine moistened his dry throat.

"Does your story say that Lord Arod led the cavalry to defeat the pagans?" Prince Otto said to Webster thoughtfully.

"Yes, Lord Arod already has a cavalry unit composed of attendants, and he has achieved great results in cooperating with the knights on the battlefield." Webster put down his wine glass, wiped his lips with his hand to wipe off the wine stains. This action was a bit rude, but no one cared about it at this time.

"I understand." Prince Otto touched his smooth pointed chin. He knew that this was Arod's bargaining chip.

"My husband, can he stay in our court and be with us?" Princess Anglo-Saxon said to him, pulling Prince Otto's sleeve. The dull Germanic court made the princess Anglo-Saxon feel a little bored.

"Would you like to be my guest?" Prince Otto said to Webster, feeling that he should get more information from Webster.

"This is my honor, Prince of Prince." Webster replied after bowing to Prince Otto and Princess Anglo-Saxon.

Webster was left in Prince Otto's court, which was good news for Arod, and it was necessary to establish a long-term friendly diplomacy with the royal family. Sure enough, a month later, Arod received a reply from the royal family. He was willing to accept Arod as a vassal of the King of East Frank, and promised that Archbishop Rhine would personally hold a ceremony for Arod in Adeh, and declare Arod's status to all other dukes in the kingdom.

"It seems that Webster is doing well." Arod picked up the letter with the royal seal with satisfaction and said to Harvey who was standing aside.

"According to our intelligence, the old king is about to see God. Adding a new duke at this time is a challenge for those old dukes, so be careful." Harvey is not as optimistic as Arod. It is foreseeable that adding a new duke will cause new waves in the distribution of rights in the kingdom.

"It is precisely because of this that Prince Otto needs our support more." Aruod narrowed his eyes and rubbed his hands and said thinking.

"But the power of the Duke of Bavaria should not be underestimated. The Duke of Bavaria is attacking Italy. If he succeeds, his son will become the king of Italy." Harvey said to Arod.

"Is Italy?" Arod frowned. Rich Italy was always the fat coveted by the strong rulers of Europa. In addition to the wealthy city-states in the Mediterranean, the influence of ancient Rome still exists in culture and politics.
