Start as Inherited Baroness

Chapter 10 The Roadblocking Knight

I slept very deeply. When I opened my eyes and stretched, there were voices and horse hooves everywhere outside.

Simon's spirit recovered well. He put the imperial longbow and armor-piercing arrows back into the storage pen, hung the steel sword on his waist, and left the tent.

"Sir!" The gatekeeper was replaced by the quartermaster Mad, who bowed his head respectfully.

Although he was a logistics staff, he also had five points of iron bones, which made him a high-level warrior. In addition, he had twelve points of trading skills and seventy-two points of archery.

Except for Sarit, he was the best archer.

"Is the meal ready?"

"Sir, you need to wait a while." Mad said respectfully.

Simon nodded, looked around, and then wandered around the camp.

It was about eight o'clock in the morning. The sun was shining, the breeze was gentle, and the weather was neither cold nor hot.

Not long after, he met Winness.

"Good morning, Miss Winness!"

"Good morning, Lord Simon!"

The two smiled and exchanged a few words. Simon stared at her for seven or eight seconds and found that she was slightly glowing red, but there was no black mist.

This shows that Winness is stronger than him, but she has no ill will towards him.

"Was that white light the magic you cast last night?"

Simon was relieved, and then asked curiously.

"It's the light spell, which can illuminate at night and also cause a little deterrence to dark creatures." Winness smiled.

"Oh, you were really brave last night." He praised.

"Thank you for your compliment." Winness just smiled sweetly.

After that, they chatted for a while and then started eating.

The breakfast was simple, just a bowl of vegetable soup, and white bread with butter and cheese.

It was extremely simple for Simon, but even so, on the way to the tent, it attracted many soldiers to cast envious eyes.

The price of white bread is more than ten times that of black bread. Freemen with a little property eat it as a precious snack for their children.

After a quick breakfast, the team set out, and the tents were dismantled and packed up.

Simon naturally didn't have to do these trivial matters himself, which made him sigh in his heart: "The nobles are so good!"

He rode his superior warhorse, and the group staggered on the road again.

There is no road paved by the kingdom in the land of Xisai, so the current team returned along the road where the expeditionary army came.

It was relatively flat. After all, the army had roughly repaired it when it passed by, so you can see the road.

They walked like this for more than two hours. During this time, Simon also used reconnaissance to check on Kelley and found that he was crimson, but there was no black mist on his body.

It seems that he can still be trusted.

At this time, a series of horse hoof sounds suddenly came from behind the team.

Simon immediately looked back on his horse and saw that it was a team of light cavalry, twenty or thirty riders, who should be from a certain family.

He felt a little strange that these people did not carry too many supplies, but then he thought that they might be pioneers.

Kelley also arranged a dozen hired cavalrymen to open the way five or six hundred meters ahead.

"Excuse me, is this Sir Simon's caravan?!"

Soon, these people caught up, and the leader, a brown-haired man wearing plate chain mail, shouted loudly.

"Who are you?" Kelley suddenly said coldly as if he was facing a great enemy.

"I am Knight Doyle of the Andrew family in Maiduo City!" The brown-haired man stared at him and said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter?" Kelley asked with a slightly slower attitude.

"I'm looking for Sir Simon." Knight Doyle stopped looking at him, his eyes swept through everyone, and finally stopped on Simon.

He had some vision and recognized that Simon was riding a superior warhorse and wearing excellent armor.

There were only two people riding superior warhorses in this team, and the other one was old, so he was definitely not one of them. The real owner must be this one.

"It's me. What do you want to talk to me about?" Simon said calmly.

Airey got off his horse, took a few steps forward, and looked at the person who came with caution.

"Sir Simon, please wait a moment. The heir of the Andrew family, Jeffrey Andrew, has something to discuss with you."

Knight Doyle performed a noble etiquette on horseback and said calmly.

Simon also imitated the salute in return, but saw that the man showed a slight sarcastic smile, but quickly covered it up.

He saw it all, and naturally didn't like this person.

"It's probably not a good thing." He thought to himself, but still waited patiently for a while.

Sure enough, a convoy appeared behind, with more than a hundred people, of average size.

Soon, seven or eight fully armored cavalrymen left the team and galloped over. The leading knight had a family emblem on his armor.

"Sir Jeffrey, this is Sir Simon." Doyle said to the galloping knight with a respectful look.

"Good morning, Sir Simon."

"Hello, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The man greeted Simon, and he responded with a smile.

"I am entrusted by my father, Viscount Bird Andrew, to discuss a matter with the Hollen family. Please excuse me for a moment."

Sir Jeffrey said politely, but his face was full of arrogance.

"Please speak frankly. They are all people I trust."

Simon would naturally not go to the corners to whisper with him. If he was killed by someone, there would be no place to complain in the wilderness.

Jeffrey's face immediately darkened, but he still said patiently: "Our Andrew family wants to marry your Hollen family.

This is my father's handwritten letter."

A cavalryman beside him took the letter and passed it over.

Aile also rode forward to take it and delivered it to Simon.

Simon carefully observed the surface of the letter and found nothing unusual, so he reached out to take it.

He was wearing scale armor gloves, so even if it was poisonous, it would not be a big problem.

The letter was sealed with wax, and the material was excellent. It was made of superior parchment.

After a while, he opened the letter and read it. Fortunately, his predecessor knew the common language of the kingdom, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Sir Jeffrey, I know what Viscount Bird meant. I still need to think about it. When I arrive at Eagle City, I will give you a definite answer."

Simon was already disdainful in his heart. The conditions of this viscount were extremely poor, and he was completely a bargain.

Maybe he was planning to kill him after the marriage so that he could get a piece of territory for free.

But he didn't show any expression on his face, and was ready to stabilize these people first.

Not far away, Kelley watched this scene and couldn't help but get anxious. In the Eagle Kingdom, the status of the nobles is extremely high.

Although he is a very ambitious person, he is also a little scared of the nobles and lacks confidence in himself.

Hearing this, Jeffrey's face was full of dissatisfaction, but since Simon didn't directly refuse, it was not easy to get angry directly.

"Okay, I look forward to your reply." He had to say so, and then led the cavalry back to his caravan.

"Lord Simon!" As soon as these people left, Kelley couldn't help but greet Simon.

"I am a man of integrity. I said this to stabilize them first, and then refuse when I arrive at Eagle City." He smiled immediately.

Kelley was certain when he heard this, but he also felt a sense of fear towards Simon, feeling that this young boy who was just sixteen years old was quite scheming.

The team continued on their way, and they stopped to set up camp until the evening.
