Section 60: Prince of Flowers (the first update today)

The stars moved and the three months passed soon. Prince Masimilk spent these days in anxiety at Fort Tuwaben. On the one hand, he really hoped that Schwab could bring him a real army, but on the other hand, he was very afraid of failure. This is understandable for a young prince. After all, no young man would want to fail. When the old king saw his son's anxious look, he held a knight competition in the palace and called some knights from nearby lords to compete with the royal knights. In order to relieve his son's boredom, he also wanted to tell the young prince that only knights are the guarantee of victory in the army, not those mercenaries who are like beggars.

"His Majesty the King, now the battle is the Knight Philip from the Kingdom of Bru, and the other is the Earl of Cope from the county of Algo." The monarch in black and red striped costumes reported to the king and prince and nobles in the stands.

In the stands, a Knight of the Kingdom of Bru, dressed in bright plate armor and chain mail, with ostrich feathers on his head, gracefully saluted Princess Sophia on the stage. Her long arms stretched out and courtly court etiquette made the noble ladies very fond, and they guessed each other whether there was a handsome face under the mask. The Earl of Algo County was wearing plain armor, her black beard and the stereotypes of middle-aged people did not leave much impression on people, but his relatives and friends applauded.

"Go to start." The king nodded and ordered the commemorator. In the open courtyard of the castle, a wooden fence divided into two tracks. The knights came to both ends and rode on horses under the service of their servants. Their horses were panting because of the weight. The knights took the rifle handed over by the servants, and then raised them high to show that they were ready.

"Start~~~." The messenger raised a square flag, looked at both sides, and then waved it downwards.

"Go to it~~~." The knight shouted loudly, tightened the horse's belly, and the horse suddenly broke free from the reins pulled by the servant and charged towards the opposite side. The galloping horse carried the master on his back, like a sharp arrow that took off the string. The knights judged the distance of the opponent from the observation hole of the mask, and then lowered the raised carriage rifle, aiming the flat carriage rifle straight at the opponent.

"Bang~~~~." At the moment when the knights came into contact, Philip, the knight of the Bru Kingdom, hit Count Algo's head with a horse gun. The carpet was immediately broken into several pieces, and the cracked wood fragments splashed everywhere, causing cheers from the surrounding nobles. The carpet of the carpet hit Philip's shield, and he swayed and fell from the horse.

"Damn it, he's bleeding." Blood flowed out from Count Algo's helmet. Count Algo's servant ran to his master, and the messenger quickly found a doctor. The nobles around him looked at the center of the venue with curiosity and excitement.

"What happened?" Philip, the knight of the Kingdom of Bru, rode his horse to Count Algo, and asked worriedly.

"The fragments pierced through the gap in the helmet, and one of his eyes was injured." After the doctor took off the helmet, he saw blood flowing in one of the eyes of Count Algo, and he tried to turn his face and say a few words to his servant.

"My master said that this is a fair game and he will not pursue the knights of the Kingdom of Bru." The attendant announced loudly, and at this time the nobles and Philip around him breathed a sigh of relief, and praised the knightly spirit of Count Algo.

After repaying his favor, Philip also gave up on continuing the battle with Count Algo. He allowed Count Algo to retreat with honor. Both sides shook hands friendly and then left. Count Algo barely supported himself to walk to the resting place before falling down.

"It's so scary." Princess Sophia said to Prince Masimilk with a pale face.

"It's okay, this kind of thing happens often in competitions." The old king sat on the throne and said to Princess Sophia.

"The competition is wonderful." Prince Masimilk likes this kind of cavalier competition very much, but when he sat there, he suddenly remembered what Schwab had told him that the Cavaliers' charge would be eliminated one day.

"Your Highness, this kind of competition is really dangerous." When Philip, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Bru, returned to his position, his servant was lying on the reins of the horse. At this time, Philip took off his giant helmet and showed a handsome young face. His brown eyes were bright and full of the royal family style.

"Shut up, I'll throw you into the river if you make a noise so that you can swim back to Bru by yourself."

"But Your Highness, why do we come here? We also want to hide your identity." The attendant muttered in confusion, as if he was helpless about his master's prank.

"Ah, I didn't let you follow you." The knight, known as the prince, got off from his horse, reached out and waved to the nobles who cheered at him. The noble ladies who saw his handsome face screamed. He immediately bent down gracefully to salute one hand and the other behind him.

"Are you just trying to seduce these noble ladies of the Pumenbruce Kingdom?" The one who disguised himself as a servant was the Duke of Butalee who grew up with the prince. He thought that the prince must be like this. Although the noble men of the Bruce Kingdom are all romantic, this prince is a famous playboy. It is unimaginable that he will be the future king of the Bruce Kingdom.

"Although my father was the Elector of the Pumbrus Empire and the Minister of the Interior of the Empire, the Emperor of the Empire has always been born from the Pumbrus Kingdom. Don't you realize this is a regrettable thing?" Prince Philip said to his friend Duke Butalee with a bad smile.

"What does this have to do with your infiltrating into the Kingdom of Pumbruce?" Duke Butale, who had long been familiar with his friend's routine, knew that this must be a way for the prince to change the subject, so he interrupted him.

"If you want to know the enemy, of course you should come here in person." Prince Philip looked at the members of the Pumbrus royal family in the stands outside the resting tent.

"So, what do you know?" asked the Duke of Butale curiously.

"Not yet." Prince Philip said, holding his arm and shook his head.

"Cough, cough, then when are you going to return to China?" Duke Butale, who was flashed by the prince, said to his prince with bitterness on his face.

"But I think the military strength of King Pumbrus must be very weak. You see, most of the knights and nobles who are playing here are lords around Tuwaben, which means that the king's sphere of influence is very small, and the vassal troops that can be mobilized must be limited. If my friend gathers the knights in your territory at this time, he will definitely be able to conquer this castle and capture all the royal members." For some reason, Prince Philip suddenly changed the topic and talked enthusiastically about how to conquer Tuwaben and how to capture royal members. If the people of the surrounding kingdom of Pumebrus would hear it, they would not be furious immediately.

"Hey, Your Highness, let alone this place is very far away from my territory, even if it is very close, you have no right to command my army. After all, you are not the king." Duke Butale rolled his eyes and was very helpless at the jumping prince.

"Haha, I'll just say that, but Princess Sophia in the stands is still so beautiful. She is really cheap. The prince who is like a sick man. If Duke Bogend is willing to marry her daughter to me, I will definitely make her happy. Judging from her resentful expression, there must be some discord." Prince Philip said with saliva on his face.

"Hmph, you playboy, I know you didn't have any kindness. You must still be thinking about Duke Bogend's property and Princess Sophia's beauty." Duke Buttale cursed angrily, but Prince Philip continued his fantasy without caring.

"Is it good for Princess Sophia to marry me? In history, Bogend belonged to my Bru's Kingdom. It was only when my grandfather was deceived by the Kate people who should go to hell in the war with the stinky pirate Kate Kingdom, and he was independent and belonged to the Kingdom of Pummenbru's Kingdom."

"But your Highness, we are also part of Pumbrus in history." The Duke of Butale reminded.

"That's different. When I become the Emperor of the Pumenbruce Empire, I will settle the bill." Prince Philip said shamelessly.

"Du~~~~." The horn for the fight again rang out. Prince Philip excitedly put on his helmet and started the game with the help of the anxious Duke of Butale. Prince Philip had a good record. He was knocked off the horse when he was fighting the second place, but he was not injured due to the protection of the armor and got the third place.

"Now His Highness Prince Masimilk will present the prize to the winner." When the competition ended, the winning top three knights stood in front of the stands, waiting for Prince Masimilk to present the prize.

"Congratulations." Prince Masimilk picked up a small sculpture of the Golden Knight, handed it to the Knight who won the first place and congratulated him on his victory, and then handed a small gold decorative box to the second Knight in turn. When he came to Prince Philip, who was third place, Prince Masimilk picked up a golden feather.

"This is a prize for you. In addition, congratulations to you for your victory to Count Algo. Both you and Count Algo showed their chivalrous spirit with great grace." Prince Masimilk said to Philip friendly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Chivalry is the guarantee of all victory," Philip said.

"Well, of course, but recently I heard new ideas. Ha, don't care, I'm just feeling it." Prince Masimilk said with a smile, thinking of what Schwab said, the running knight can only deal with unprepared enemies.

"Oh?" Philip thoughtfully, thinking about the words of the Crown Prince of Pumbruce.
