Chapter 46 Palace Love

In the hall made of arched stones, the windows above both sides shone in a wisp of sunlight, shining in the center of the hall as if the road to heaven was shining. The eldest son of the duke in a mopping robe, Deviret, wearing a gold-made head crown, slowly walked towards his father with an excited smile, while Duke Han Ruowei stood on the steps in front of the lord's seat, watching himself grow into a noble noble son, and stood on both sides of Deviret with a duke's vassal and famous people.

"I, the Duke of Han Ruowei, grant you titles and territory through the rights given to me by God and the king. From now on, you must act cautiously and perform your duties." Duke Han Ruowei slapped Devire's shoulders and back with the sword in his hand, and gave him oaths and territory. At this time, people's applause echoed in the hall to witness this great moment. The duchess who should have appeared beside the duke refused to attend the ceasing of his son because of his physical discomfort, which undoubtedly brought a glimmer of glory to the ceremony of the ceasing.

"The banquet begins~~~." After the enfeoffment ceremony, the duke's servant announced the official start of the banquet. After the serious ceremony, the nobles began to eat and drink. They sat behind the long wooden table brought by the servants, grabbed the meat and fruits with their hands and chewed them in big mouths. The servants they brought sat on the floor and had obtained the leftovers of their masters. In the center of the long wooden table, clowns and tricksters performed a show for the nobles. Watching the funny performance of clowns wearing octagonal hats and a bell in their crotch, it caused the nobles to laugh.

"Mr. Schwab." Just as Schwab was watching all this coldly, a scent of lilac flowers suddenly floated beside him. Schwab turned his head and saw Princess Mary staying beside him with a cup. The beautiful princess braided her black hair into many small braids, and a faint rose red color appeared in her snow-white face. She was wearing a tight blue pair-breasted long jacket, two wide sleeves were folded into many folds, and a beautiful hand-embroidered belt around her waist. Her whole dress was generous and elegant.

"Your Highness, Princess." Schwab quickly stood up and bowed to the beautiful princess who had been kissing, while Princess Mary bowed gracefully.

"Can you go for a walk with me in the courtyard?" Princess Mary looked at Schwab and said. The hall was too noisy. Schwab was stunned for a moment and thought of the night in the courtyard. Princess Mary seemed to notice Schwab's strangeness, probably thinking of that night, so her face became narrower and rosy.

"Okay." Schwab would not reject the elegant princess. Although her family really made Schwab feel unfavorable, it was not the beauty's fault. So the two walked out of the hall and came to the courtyard full of floral fragrance.

"I am sorry for the unfair treatment you have suffered." Princess Mary looked at the bald Otto who was following Schwab from afar, knowing that this was to prevent Schwab from being assassinated again. Although walking in the graceful courtyard with a beautiful woman, a rude guard with weapons was following behind her, Schwab did not dare to joke about her life, so she pretended to be an unknown smile.

“What are you referring to?”

"I know those assassins were sent by my mother, because my mother blamed you for Yas' death." Princess Mary explained. In fact, in the Ruovede War, she asked Schwab to send troops to rescue him. In that war, Schwab not only saved Han Ruowei's fate, but also saved his father's life. But what she didn't expect was that the biggest traitor was actually from his mother's family, but it was because of the punishment of Yas's internal trouble that Han Ruowei became more stable.

"Is it the Duchess? So that's it." Yas was the Duchess' younger brother so well, but Schwab was very depressed. If it weren't for helping your family, I would have been cheated.

"So please forgive me, my father is also very helpless." Princess Mary looked at Schwab and tried hard to remove the vassal whom her father did not pay attention to, but she was very powerful. But she didn't understand that for Schwab, the little pond of the Duke, was no longer enough to let down Schwab.

"By the way, Princess Princess, I have a question?" Schwab said after thinking of this, after approaching Princess Mary.

"What, what? Sir." Schwab's sudden approaching made the elegant princess retreat unconsciously. Although the noble woman in this world is still generous, the face of such a young man still makes her feel a little panicked, not to mention that this nobleman who had a kiss with him looks pretty good.

"What are you using? Why is it so similar to the fragrance of flowers?" Although Schwab wanted to tease the princess, he was really curious that her body was as if she had light perfume. You should know that there was no perfume in this era.

"I just bathe with petals." Princess Mary laughed. Why is this Earl Schwab so curious about women's affairs? It's just a petal bath that nobles often use. "Of course, if you want to use it, you can ask the servants to prepare it."

"What? I don't want it." Schwab didn't know that the male aristocrats of this era actually loved beauty more than women, especially the high-level aristocrats who often used petals to take baths or made some novel clothes.

"Sir, you are also a noble count now. Be careful of the noble's appearance, otherwise you will be underestimated by other vassals." Princess Mary looked at Schwab's at a loss and smiled with her mouth covering her mouth.

"I don't have so much spare time to study these minor matters." Schwab sighed that his life was miserable. He either fought wars or developed territory all day, so he didn't have so much time to study clothes and match them with magic horses. What's more, in his previous life, Schwab was an otaku and never bothered to stroll in shopping malls. He could wear his own clothes.

"No wonder, maybe, maybe, you should welcome a noble woman as your wife, so that you can hand over these things to a reliable woman." Princess Mary said softly to Schwab, and after she said that her face suddenly turned red. Doesn't a girl who is not married have any other meanings to a young noble without a wife?

"Oh, oh, the weather is so good today." Schwab looked at the petite and shy princess Mary, who was itchy at the words of her. He looked at the gentle and sensible princess Mary, who was really a good wife. However, her mother was as powerful as her, and her current status was not as good as the Duke's eyes.

The breeze blows in the courtyard, birds and flowers are intoxicating. In a dome pavilion, a young male nobleman and a princess sat side by side in the pavilion. The pavilion is wrapped by green vines. The princess picked up the harp placed in the pavilion and gently plucked the strings with her white and tender hands. The crisp strings made a tinging sound like spring water. The princess's black hair was woven into small braids and spread on her shoulders, slightly tilted to her smooth face, and looked at the young nobleman beside her with a smile.

The young noble beside him, wearing a crown ring on his blonde hair, a handsome face, and clear blue eyes as clear as the ocean. Looking at the princess playing the harp beside him, a thoughtful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the wool shawl on her body was casually placed on her shoulders, a bit lazy and chic.

"Hey, isn't that Mary? Who is the young noble next to him?" Duke Han Ruowei, who had attended half of the banquet in the hall, was tired, and was about to return to his room. The room leading to the duke must pass through the courtyard. He saw two young nobles who were companions in the pavilion in the courtyard. After careful, he saw that he was not his daughter?

"Father, it seems to be his sister, and the one next to him seems to be Earl of Stedetin. Do you need me to call them?" Devire accompanied his father, so he said to his father.

"No need, let's go." Duke Han Ruowei stroked his beard. The duke was a little worried. It seemed that Schwab seemed to be very interesting to his daughter. If he disturbed them at this time, the originally stiff relationship might worsen. Although the duke did not attach much importance to Schwab, he did not want to make his vassals and himself powerful. At this time, his daughter's joining might be a good time to ease. As long as he didn't talk about marriage, he would be fine. This was also a romantic story among the nobles.

"Yes, father." Devire looked curiously at the direction of the pavilion, and then left the courtyard with his father.

"Sir Schwab, when will you come to Hanruowei?" Princess Mary stopped the plucking harp in her hand, and then asked Schwa beside her for preaching.

"It's not long before." Schwab stretched out his hand to grab Princess Mary's hand, thinking of the princess' soft and fragrant lips. It would be a wonderful thing to marry this princess, but would the duke agree? I heard that the duke once wanted to marry the princess into the royal family, but was just taken first by others. Is the royal family so amazing? Schwab sneered in his heart.

"So, I will wait for you next time. Do you still remember your poem?" said Princess Mary.

"Poetry, ah, of course I remember."

"Maybe, we should choose our love bravely as the protagonist of poetry, not for politics." Princess Mary felt that she could not control her mouth. After she finished speaking, she yelled, stood up shyly, held her skirt and ran out of the pavilion, leaving only the standing Schwab.
