Chapter 3 The capital, the king
In order to take care of the princess's body, Grey deliberately slowed down, so even on a horse, it took more than two days for the two to return to the capital until noon on the third day.
"Your Majesty the King, I brought the princess back. This is the teeth of the evil dragon. I will present it to your Majesty. The original glory will always shine on your Majesty!"
Grey knelt on one knee and respectfully handed the dragon tooth.
Originally, it would be great if the princess was brought back, but it could destroy the evil dragon, which could prove his courage and increase his weight in the king's heart.
"Vissue Grey, thank you for your hard work, don't be too polite!" The king comforted Grey and immediately stood up to hug his daughter. The princess also burst into tears, and threw herself into the king's arms like a slutty swallow, and the queen also stepped forward, and the three of them hugged each other warmly.
"Felia, it's because my father is not good, and I can't protect you!"
Grey's eyes moved, and he didn't bother them at this time, and waited silently.
"Vissue Sutton, please forgive me, the old father for his misogyny." After a long time, the three of them separated and the king said apologetically.
"It's okay, this is human nature. His Highness the King cares for the princess so much, because his Highness has a kind heart and righteous heart, and the luck of the people!" Gray said hurriedly.
"It's all your credit for Philea being able to save her this time. I'll hold it for you and Philea after a while..."
Before the king finished speaking, he was interrupted by Princess Philea. "Father, Gray Warriors are already very tired from fighting with the Dragon. They want to send me back again. They take good care of me along the way, and they haven't had much rest. You should let Gray Warriors go back and rest first, and discuss these things later!"
The king was silent for a moment, and smiled apologetically in a blink of an eye, as if he was really sorry to Gray. "I didn't consider this. Gray, you go back and rest first. We will discuss this matter carefully tomorrow."
Gray's face turned gloomy, but the gloom just flashed away. He smiled in a blink of an eye and nodded slightly, "Thank you for your concern. I am indeed a little tired. Go back and rest first, and say goodbye."
After saying that, he left without any delay.
However, after leaving the palace, he did not return to his home, but went directly to the military camp.
How did his achievement come from? First, he worked hard to practice martial arts, and second, he joined the army to make achievements. Otherwise, he would not have gotten the title of his own. He did not inherit his father's title. His father was originally a knight, but third, he was an official position in the army, which could also trigger achievements.
A title has little to do with official positions. The title only means that he has become a noble and has his own territory, while an official position represents the rights of the country he holds in his hands.
Generally, nobles are managing their own territory. Only new nobles like Grey who rely on military merits will stay in the capital to do things.
As for rest, after reaching twenty o'clock, he would be very happy after sleeping for six hours a day, and he could fully recover in four hours in an emergency.
The so-called rest is just a step for both sides.
After staying in the military camp for an hour and dealing with a lot of accumulated affairs, Grey returned to his home.
"Young Master, you are back!"
"Well, go and prepare hot water for me. I want to take a shower and lunch. Just prepare it. I will come and eat it, don't disturb me!"
After saying that, Gray hurried into the study, picked up the quill and started writing, and then sealed it with wax!
Calling a servant in, Gray ordered, "Try it to my father as fast as possible!"
Knight Les Sutton is now managing the Viscount Corps for Grey. It is said that it is a Viscount Corps, but it is actually a small village and cannot even be considered a town.
The lower-level barons can only divide a village with three or four together.
The reason why it is so small is that the kingdom where Gray is not very large, and the entire kingdom is only about a few thousand square kilometers, which is about the same area as a county in the country where he was in his previous life.
Moreover, the kingdom is surrounded by mountains and dense forests, and many wild beasts are very dangerous, and the value of development is not proportional to the risk.
But even so, countless people embarked on the road of making achievements and winning titles.
In the end, one can succeed without a hundred, and a viscount like Gray can become a viscount at a young age is even more unique.
Grey's territory is located at the northernmost point of the capital, close to the sea, and rides a fast horse for about four or five hours.
It can be seen from this that the journey of saving the princess for several days is really a long distance for the people here now.
"By the way, I have saved the princess. You can be more prominent when you are outside!"
The butler nodded and showed a reliable smile, "Don't worry, young master, you brought the princess into the city, and many people have seen it. Such a big thing will definitely be known to everyone in the city tomorrow!"
Time goes back to when Grey just left the palace!
The king watched Gray leave the palace and immediately looked down at his daughter who had not seen him for ten years, saying a little displeased: "Philia, what's going on? Why did you interrupt me?"
"Father, I know you promised to marry me if you could save me, but I don't want to marry him!" Phyllia still had tears on her face, and she looked very weak, but her attitude towards this matter was very firm.
"Why? You have to know that I am the king. What I said must be done!" The king said seriously. History has proved countless times that if a king goes back on his word, then he will definitely be the king soon.
So even if the daughter begs, but there is no absolutely proper reason, he will not agree no matter what.
Moreover, Gray is indeed very outstanding and deserves his entrusted daughter and this country to him.
"Father, I know you have always wanted to save me, and there are many warriors who come to save me, but do you know why I was rescued now?" Felia cried.
"Why? Because they are not strong enough, because Gray is the best young man in the kingdom and the most powerful knight. With him, you can be safe and save you!" The king said patiently, explaining to him how outstanding and powerful the other party is, and hopes that his daughter can change her mind.
"You are wrong. Some of these warriors did kill the evil dragon!"
"That···?"
The king hesitated, and he wanted to ask why you didn't come back since the evil dragon had been killed long ago?
"That's because everyone who kills the evil dragon will eventually become an evil dragon. How could they let their daughter come back?" Felia cried.
"But Gray brought you back, which doesn't mean his strength. He killed the evil dragon but did not become an evil dragon."
"No, I saw that he, like the warriors who killed the evil dragons before, came to save me, had no dragon blood on his body, and had a strong sense of the dragon's treasures. The killed evil dragon also turned into human skeletons.
Although I don’t know why he didn’t turn into a dragon and caught me back to the castle halfway, he is really an evil dragon. I can swear, father!"
Every time she thought she was rescued, she saw a new evil dragon. Philea really didn't want to experience that kind of despair. She must convince her father to completely defeat the evil dragon and imprison forever, so that there would be no new evil dragons.
"You said the evil dragon has become human again, so where did this dragon tooth come from?" the king asked with the dragon tooth in his hand.
"It must be him who pulled his teeth. After he rescued me, he found an excuse to leave. It must be that he pulled his teeth at this time, just to confuse you, father." Felia said crying. She knew very well that Gray had gone to see the treasure of the dragon before, but what's the matter? As long as my father believed that he was the dragon, the rest of the matter could be ignored!
"I believe that Philea will not lie to us. Viscount Grey must have really turned into an evil dragon. Otherwise, he would have saved Philea, the most powerful knight in the kingdom and the youngest viscount. How could Philea not want to marry him?" The queen couldn't bear to be wronged again after being separated for many years, and said to the side.
