Rise of Rurik

Chapter 1205: Askad's wife

Alicia put on a decisive attitude of going to death righteously, but how could Askad kill her?

If she really wanted to kill her, she would have died as early as noon.

The soldiers of the Seventh Banner have all assembled near the fountain. They have lit a bonfire to heat dry food and seized food, and even took off their blood-stained and sweat-soaked dirty clothes to wash them on the spot, and are busy changing into spare new clothes. They all gathered to watch the fun. Although they didn't know about the real and fake princesses, they also knew that they were the slaves of the boss Askad.

The scene became extremely awkward for a while.

"Stupid! You embarrass me?!"

Askad had to do something, even if the black-haired girl was the real maid, it didn't matter, the princess was in his hands anyway.

With a sullen face, he walked quickly onto the line, grabbed the girl's neck while her eyes were closed, and then dragged her head to his side.

"Stupid." He put his mouth next to the girl's ear and ordered in a low voice, "The farce is over. Now! Get off!"

There will be plenty of time to ask her afterwards, and now Askad is more like listening to what the real princess has to say. And Uncle Blue Fox, who discovered the clue, what does this guy think.

Alicia would rather be killed, because she did not perform her duty of protecting the princess well. In the end, the princess still fell into the hands of the wicked, and she deserved to die.

But according to her belief, she can't commit suicide, thinking that she can provoke the conqueror who broke the city to die, but now she is given a gift to live?

She sat back on the wet stone platform of the fountain, and she would not run if she had the chance now.

She hooked her head and said nothing, disheartened and waiting for the unknown fate.

Askad glanced at her for a while, and naturally he was still firmly grasping the rope that bound his hands.

"So you are the real Princess Jisla? I already know your name." He walked into the timid curly-haired girl holding the rope, and lifted the girl's chin with his hand. What he saw was a crying girl with swollen eyes. His face, even this one, was slapped twice by himself during the day, and the swelling on his cheeks still hasn't subsided.

"Speak. Gisla, admit your identity. Are you... a princess?"

All the words were spoken in Latin, which Askad was sure she would understand.

Gisla now only has endless fear, after all, he has never slapped himself when he grows up to this size. It was the man in front of me who did it! He also wantonly killed the soldiers in the stable in front of him!

The more the girl thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she simply slumped on the ground in a strong trembling.

Blue Fox couldn't stand it anymore: "Enough. You can scare her to death."

"Boring. A boring princess. You are not as good as your maid! You... live like a burden to others."

I wanted to take two women back to be wives at once, and being able to have a Frankish princess can be said to be a face to relatives. However, since she has to choose a life partner, at least she has to be a smart woman.

Askad at this moment is full of disgust for the real Princess Ghisla.

As for the maid who lied to her? You really have to press her to vent your anger.

He looked at the blue fox: "I don't want to grab the gold, I just want to take these two women away. I changed my mind, the princess is meaningless, she is not as good as her maid."

"What are you going to do?" Blue Fox asked sullenly.

"I don't want it anymore. If you like... Uncle, the princess will give it to you. You are not married anyway."

"You?! You brat." Hearing the bad words, Lan Hu was quite displeased.

It's not that the blue fox didn't want to get married on purpose, it's just that she has been doing thrilling things for the king all these years, and it took too much time to travel around the world.

However, if you savor the words of this brat Askad carefully, there are some things worth thinking about.

He knew that because he was thirty years old and unmarried, he was indeed a different kind in the eyes of the northern nobles, so there were rumors that "this man is a castrated bull". Blue Fox had no intention of refuting. After all, he planned to choose a beautiful young girl from the Gothenburg fiefdom to complete the marriage after the war. Several barons under his command and their family's daughters were all worthy of selection.

but princess...

The blue fox stepped forward, picked up the slumped barefoot princess, looked carefully at the girl's face, and probably understood why Askad didn't like her.

It cannot be said that Gisla is not good-looking. A 12-year-old Frankish top noble girl has the temperament of a country girl, but unfortunately her face and eyes are a bit swollen, and it is uncomfortable to match her mourning face.

She must be the princess, and the blue fox still needs to make a final confirmation.

"What's your name? Your father is Lothar? Your third uncle is Ludwig?"

Still asking in Latin, the girl opened her eyes and saw a curly-haired man with a fat face.

"Answer me! Don't worry, if you are a princess, no one will hurt you. I can guarantee your safety. I know your uncle Ludwig, and I am very close to him. You will not be a slave, I Will hand you over to your uncle. The premise is that you are really a princess."

"Uncle? Ludwig..." Until now, Gisla finally spoke.

"Is that your uncle?"

"yes."

"That's right. Stand up now." Blue Fox let go of his hands and smiled from the bottom of his heart. Coupled with his chubby face, which seemed impossible to lose weight no matter how hard he tried, he looked naive, and invisibly relieved the girl's vigilance with tension.

Gisla, who was still barefoot, didn't know the current city of Aachen at all. She just wanted to leave here and break free from the attackers, but she also had to have a clear destination, and she couldn't be taken over by a nobleman.

The third sister was kidnapped and forced to marry by a nobleman, and Jisla feared such a fate.

Maybe these invading barbarians really knew their uncle Ludwig. If they were sent to his uncle, at least the ending would not be worse.

The girl tried to calm down, and slowly raised her head: "I am Gisla. The daughter of the Roman Emperor Lothar. Ludwig is my uncle. I am of noble blood, a direct descendant of Charlemagne, and you have no right to violate me Otherwise, you will be punished by God, and God will shed tears and kill you!"

The girl's mood changed quite suddenly. At first, Lanhu thought she was a doormat, but now why does she suddenly look like a Valkyrie?

Or is everything just a pretense of being strong.

"Okay. I believe you. Your name is Jisla, and I can tell you now." Said, Blue Fox pointed in all directions of the city: "Our army is everywhere, and now you are in my hands , There is no way to escape. Now, you'd better be obedient, I will send you to your uncle Ludwig in good condition, and we don't care what he does with you afterwards."

It had to be said that this was the only good news that Jisla heard all day. She didn't know Ludwig well at all. After all, it was an uncle, at least more believable than these barbarians.

Gisla knew nothing about the Civil War except that his father had a bad relationship with his two uncles.

What does that have to do with me? The mediocre uncle became her only life-saving straw. She chose to believe in these gangsters and was willing to be at the mercy of the people in front of her.

She also wanted to confirm one thing: "You...what is your identity? Really? Can you really send me to my uncle?"

"Of course." The blue fox pulled out the dagger, cut the rope that bound her wrist under the nervous gaze of the girl, and continued to warn: "My army can eat wolves alive, but you are like a weak sheep. By my side, Don't run away. Listen, I alone can keep you safe. I am the Count of Gothenburg, and I am a Count, and this army is at my command. I am well qualified to capture you."

Speaking of this, the blue fox had an idea and stopped speaking Latin, even though his Frankish was stuttering, he said: "My child, I advise you not to run around. Everything is over, and I will give you new clothes and new clothes." Shoes, I will send you to Ludwig this fall."

Princess Gisla didn't dare to ask too many questions. Of course, she had thousands of questions in her mind, the biggest question was "Why did you attack Aachen?" She just nodded deeply, and now she regained the freedom of her whole body and remained motionless.

From Askad's point of view, after Uncle Blue Fox said something, the dull princess became obedient. He still firmly controls the princess's maid, and he is ashamed that he still doesn't know the maid's real name, but it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time to get to know her inside and out.

The farce of a true and false princess is over, and taking the opportunity, Blue Fox also personally conveys the order of free looting for three days to all the cubs of the Seventh Banner Squad.

After breaking the Frankish capital, there are only three days to loot? The day the city was broken counted as the first day?

The young soldiers booed endlessly, but unfortunately there was no other way, everyone knew that Blue Fox had obtained the full power of the king himself, and any decision he made represented the decision of King Rurik, so he could only obey it unconditionally.

The day came to an end here, and they were still in the villages and towns of Bright Lead early in the morning. As the slogan at the time was, the whole army could really spend the night in Aachen.

Arson is prohibited in the whole city, and the place where bonfires can be lit is in the city square.

The Seventh Banner team grabbed a good seat. They burned furniture to keep warm, dried clothes, and spread out in the square to guard their trophies. After eating, they quickly fell into a deep sleep.

As the so-called tense nerves relax, they can no longer stop. The soldiers of the whole army are seriously overdrawn for today's battle.

The relaxed Askad's muscles were sore, even so, he spread out a sheet by the campfire, and the captured princess maid lay here obediently after eating something.

What's next? Alicia closed her eyes, anxiously awaiting her tragic fate.

All the armor was taken off, and Askad could finally fully relax his muscles and bones. He deliberately drove away a group of brothers who were sleeping nearby, so-called to leave a quiet place, for which everyone smiled and left with a sense of humor.

The layers of iron on the back of the cloth face armor were strongly reflected by the bonfire, and the chain mail jingled when it was taken off.

Askad completely restored his unlined clothes, and Alicia, who squinted, was able to see the whole picture of the Ross nobleman who possessed her.

He completely spread out his curly thin blanket, lay down on himself, and completely wrapped Alicia.

Have a relationship? Yes, but not necessary. Besides, at this moment, Askad still had this intense tension.

"You want me. Come on. Ruth, I'm already your slave."

On the contrary, it was the woman who spoke first, which made Askad very embarrassed.

"Now...it's time to tell me your real name."

"Name. I have overstepped the title of princess, and my name is no longer worth mentioning."

"Is that so? I don't like your princess at all right now. I just like you. Tell me your real name. Otherwise, I'll have to give you a random name."

"Alicia." She said, "I am Alicia, my maid, and I come from Lombardy. I am also a descendant of nobles, but I am not as noble as a princess at all."

She did clarify her identity. She thought that the Ross nobleman who was facing her didn't understand at all, but in fact it was just the opposite.

Once again, Askad realized that the various knowledge he had been forced to learn by his uncle Rurik were really useful now.

"Lombardy? I know. In a place called Italy. My uncle the king told me about that place, and said that we can also detour from Imberia by boat. There is the real Rome, but the Rome of the West is gone. , now there is only Rome in the east. Your Frank calls himself Rome, which is very ridiculous to us Russians... Eh? Don't look at me with surprised eyes!"

Indeed, what Alicia felt right now was pure shock.

The Italian language of the current era is very similar to the popular Latin of the Old Empire, and it is quite easy for her to passively learn to teach Latin.

The Ross nobleman in front of him has been speaking in standard church Latin, although he is not very fluent, he can fully understand it.

"You really know Italy?" she had to ask again.

"Yes. I also know Rome, Capua, Milan, Naples, Sicily."

"You? Why do you know so much. How can you know Milan?"

Alicia has big bright eyes, and her surprised attitude now shows that her eyes are devastated, and this really fascinates Askad.

"Of course I know. My uncle asked me to learn it. He also said that in order to deal with the Franks in the future, we must learn Latin. Sure enough, my uncle has incomparable wisdom."

Askad is just too young, especially in front of the girl he likes, he almost surrendered. He was physically exhausted but mentally excited, so he kept talking about a lot of things, showing his extraordinary status, and spending a lot of money on Alicia's future life.

"Your name sounds exactly the same as the name of the Duke of Saxony's daughter. The son of the Duke of Saxony is my friend, and my cousin Reglaf is the King of Mercia..."

Although she is a maid, Alicia is not ignorant. Frank's top past member has a lot to learn, and as the princess's personal maid, she must learn with it and exist as a supervisor.

She learned about the family of the Earl of Westphalia from the priest, and about the kingdoms on the island, among them Mercia.

The Count of Westphalia is now the Duke of Saxony? She has heard the name of Archbishop Hardebold of Cologne, as well as Bishop Eskil of the North.

She even has a certain understanding of the Danes, but all she can learn from the Archbishop of Aachen is negative information.

The initial shock has gradually dissipated, replaced by Alicia's extreme inferiority complex.

The attack on Aachen was not a simple act of bandits. Before that, the Russian army had captured Maastricht and Liege. All battles are entirely state actions, and the attack on Aachen has a strong purpose, so the capture of the princess also has a purpose.

Thinking that I still have a box of willingness to protect the princess, I am so overwhelmed.

"You..." She asked weakly, "Do you believe in God?"

"No. We are Odin's warriors. The gods have given us strength, and even more so, the infinite wisdom of our past."

"If you don't believe in God, they say, you are a bunch of savages."

"Who said that?"

"The priest said."

"So, am I barbaric?" Askad asked with a smile without much explanation.

"Very savage. But, you are noble. And I'm just...your slave. What will you do to me? You won't kill me."

"I'm your husband." After saying that, Askad leaned his head over and kissed her directly on the forehead happily.

This move directly stimulated Alicia to tremble all over.

"Be my wife and leave Frank. Follow me and you will not be anyone's handmaid, will you?"

are you willing? Asked this question, Alicia felt very speechless.

She pretended to be calm and asked a little: "What's the point of whether I am willing or not? I'm already at your mercy."

"It makes sense. Serve me as you serve Ghisla, be my wife. I want you to be willing."

"Well then. I will! Now, you can do whatever you want with me."

Is this considered to have completely won her sincerity? But why is there a hint of anger in the words?

Askad was willing to take the gamble, which completely untied the rope from her wrist.

Alicia, who has fully recovered her freedom, already has the conditions to flee, but she will definitely not do so. She desecrated her mission and either died or changed her appearance to live. Furthermore, let’s ask ourselves, our family in Lombardy was originally persecuted for rebelling against Charlemagne, yet we were arranged in Aachen, where we could even have close contact with Charlemagne’s tomb, how absurd it is .

Now that he was taken away by the Rus who belonged to the Normans in this way, it does not seem absurd.

She can't talk about love or anger for Frank, but it's a pity to part with the princess.

But now she can't care about the princess anymore, she feels that her past self has died in today's daytime, and now Alicia has completely changed.

"You're free. Alicia, stick to me."

Hearing the order, the girl really hugged her, just clinging to Askad's increasingly strong body~www.readwn.com~ Askad subconsciously stroked her back: "Very well, you are my wife .”

Suddenly, a female voice murmured: "I'm dead. Now I'm a Norman, a Ross. Right?"

Askad shuddered violently, followed by another burst of inner comfort: "Yes. Now there is only Alicia from Ross, please obey me. I will not lock you again."

"Are you not afraid that I will run away?"

"You dare?"

"I dare not. Your Highness."

Alicia's mentality has completely changed. She now calls the man next to him Askad the way she calls Prince Frank, and this is proof of obedience.

Askad hadn't realized this before the change in her honorific, his tired body could no longer support his spirit, so he put his arms around Alicia's body, and the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep wrapped in a blanket...
