Old World, Brittany, Earl of Glamorgan, Fairy Tower in the Lake, the second day after Laing's wedding.
… (Above omitted) …
It was warm inside the bedroom. Outside the house, Brittany's first snow of the year was falling. White snowflakes floated on this land blessed by the goddess. The heavy snowfall of the Oracle Mountains came earlier today. Only a rough outline of the distant mountains could be seen in the thick fog. The rest of the white fog lingered in the air, swirling and evaporating, gathering into clouds. The trees outside the window were all covered in white snow. The Fairy Tower in the lake and the valley was already a world of silver.
Heaven and earth were of the same color, as if it was a sign of next year's harvest.
"It's snowing." Laing woke up from his sleep and saw the heavy snow outside the window. He rubbed his eyes hard and subconsciously wanted to get up. Only then did he find a warm and fragrant woman in his arms. He smiled gently and hugged his new wife tightly. "Suria, you're awake?"
"Mmm ~" Suria, who was wearing a white nightgown and had a lazy and charming demeanor, was blushing. She leaned against Laing's body and didn't dare to raise her head. "Lai … Laing, my husband …"
"My wife." Laing smiled.
His memory went back to last night. The Duke's daughter was very shy, but she bravely took the initiative to be intimate with him. The two of them made love several times, until the female knight couldn't take it anymore. Then, they fell asleep in each other's arms.
"Laing, did you …" Suria was so shy that her whole face turned red.
"Hmm? What do you have? " Laing felt a little strange. Everything was there. In the end, he also "got" in. Was there something wrong?
"No … nothing." The female knight's face was as red as an apple. In the end, she still couldn't bring herself to ask.
There were some things that she was too ashamed to say out loud.
Last night's first time was perfect for the female knight. The two of them laid on the cherry four-cornered bed covered with iris flower petals and did everything that needed to be done. This would be the best memory of her life.
However, Suria was too embarrassed to say it out loud. After the first time, the female knight was already in a daze. At this time, the Lake Fairy responded to Suria's prayer. She possessed the female knight's body and helped her complete the next few times.
Suria really wanted to ask Laing if he knew, but she really couldn't bring herself to ask. She looked at Laing and saw that he didn't seem to be acting strange, so she could only shake her head. "Nothing, I'm just a little …"
"Do you still feel uncomfortable?" Laing's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness and helplessness. He also changed the topic.
"No, I'm just a little tired, but not sleepy." Suria kissed Laing gently on his lips. "Good morning, my husband. It's time to get up."
"Mm, come, I'll carry you."
"Mmm …"
The two of them cuddled for a while before getting up. At this time, it was already late in the morning, and it was still snowing outside. After washing up, Laing changed into a light noble suit, and the female knight also changed into a white collar snow porcelain pattern light red woolen coat. She pulled up her black stockings on her slender, straight legs, then took out a pair of bright red high heels and walked unsteadily. She held Laing's arm and went to the living room in the tower.
The heater in the living room was already turned on. The fireplace was crackling, and apple pies were still being baked. Seeing the beautiful figure sitting on the wolf fur sofa, Suria's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. "My lady?"
"My lady … This seems to be … my honeymoon with Suria, right?" Laing quickly held the female knight up. He looked at the Lake Fairy who was baking apple pies in front of the sofa, and his tone was not very pleasant to hear.
Today, the Goddess of the Lake was wearing a lotus leaf dress with a bright blue princess collar. Her long blonde hair covered the entire sofa. It was very rare to see the Goddess of the Lake, who usually liked to go barefoot, wearing black velvet stockings like the female knights. Her pink feet were hooked on white high heels, and her slender and smooth legs were exposed under the dress. After hearing Leon's complaint, she smiled disapprovingly. "My champion, this is my place. Why can't I be here? I'll be here for a while. "
"What? My champion, am I not welcome? "The Lake Fairy looked at Laing with a faint smile, and her face was a little flushed.
"I …" Laing still wanted to say something, but Suria quickly pinched his arm, indicating that he must not be rude to the goddess. "Laing! This is the grace of the lady to us! Other knights can't get it no matter how hard they beg! "
"Okay, okay, okay … I'll listen to you, my wife." Laing had to admit defeat. He pulled Suria and sat down opposite the Lake Fairy. "My lady, you can bake apple pies too?"
"Of course, I can do more than you think, my champion." The Lake Fairy took out the baked apple pies from the fireplace and placed them in front of Laing. The corner of the goddess' mouth curled up. "Congratulations on your marriage, Laing, Suria, have a taste of my cooking."
"Thank you, my lady!" Suria was very honored to be able to taste the food made by the Lake Fairy herself.
Apple pies were a very difficult delicacy to make, and Laing knew it very well. When he was a child in Oterne, he especially liked the apple pies made by his adoptive mother. This delicacy was spread by Ludwig the Savior after the great holy war and became popular among the Empire's court. It was wrapped in pastry and filled with crushed apples, cane sugar, cheese, cinnamon, and raisins.
This kind of dessert was very troublesome to make, and Laing did not expect the Lake Fairy to make it herself.
"Is it good?" The Lake Fairy smiled brightly, and there was a faint joy on her face.
"It's very delicious." The newlyweds were satisfied.
"That's good." The Lake Fairy was very happy to see that Laing and Suria liked it.
Just in front of the fireplace, the three of them finished the apple pies together. Laing felt a little awkward, but the female knight was very happy to see the Lake Fairy. For her, the Lake Fairy was the god she believed in, and she had arranged such a good marriage for her. She was very grateful to the Lake Fairy. The devout female knight only had reverence for the Lake Fairy … and a little shyness.
The Lake Fairy was also very enthusiastic about the female knight. She pulled her aside and asked her questions. The atmosphere in the tower was very harmonious, and the three of them seemed to be very harmonious. It was not strange at all.
Only Laing's face was not very good. He kind of understood what the Lake Fairy was up to.
After a simple breakfast, the Lake Fairy stood up and said, "Come with me. I have something to give to Suria."
On the way upstairs, the Lake Fairy and Suria's high heels clicked. This kind of tower was very luxuriously decorated, and even the corners of places like the stairs were carefully repaired. Huge lights and red carpets in the style of high elves covered the ground. Laing looked at the oil paintings on the wall and suddenly asked, "My lady, have they all left?"
"They're all gone. Your brothers, your adoptive parents, and your Godfather are all gone." The Fairy of the Lake walked in front. Her perky bosom jiggled as she bounced back and forth. "Tigris has also set off for the King's Forest to meet the King of the Forest, Olean, and Queen Alaier. 'Hero' Aralos and Prophet Liv will lead the way."
"So soon?" Ryan thought about Teglis's chances of success, but no matter how he thought about it, it should not be high.
"We can't delay any longer. It's already late autumn, and winter is coming soon." The Lake Fairy led Laing and Suria through the corridor. "Once winter comes, Ao Laing and Alaier will walk into the fire and burn to ashes. If Tegris does not leave now, we will have to wait until next summer to meet."
Suria was a new wife and was shy. She also had some desire for a better life in the future. She did not pay too much attention to the Lake Fairy's natural manner when talking about Tegris. She asked curiously, "My lady, Sir Tegris is a great mage and an excellent diplomat. What is he going to do in Esoloron?"
"He hopes to ally with the wood elves and get their help … In my opinion, the possibility is not high, but there's no harm in trying." The Lake Fairy wanted to discuss this matter with Laing, but considering that her real identity should not be known by Suria, she could only play it down. "The wood elves are too isolated, but they are very powerful."
"My father always warned me not to go near the wood elves' forest. There was once a duke who entered the forest of Esoloron during the Winter Veil Festival and disappeared for 700 years. When he came out, he said that only a few days had passed. Then, in three hours, he aged rapidly and turned to ashes." Suria was deep in thought. The female knight said to Laing, "Laing, you can't just enter the forest."
"I understand." Laing and Suria followed behind the Lake Fairy and walked into a large room.
This room was different from the other rooms in the tower. It was very spacious and there was not much furniture in it. Instead, there was a large space in the middle of the room. A shining knight's sword was hanging on a shelf in the middle of the room.
That was the gift that the Lake Fairy wanted to give to Suria — the Sword of Lyonnesse.
"Laing's father has given you a set of armor and a few sets of jewelry … Then I'll give you this sword." The Lake Fairy reached out and took the sword from the shelf. She held the hilt and rolled up her sleeves.
Clang! The sword was unsheathed, and golden flames surrounded the blade. The divine light from the Lake Fairy filled the room. The Lake Fairy gestured for Suria to come forward and take the sword. "This is the Sword of Lyonnesse, the sword of the former Duchess of Lyonnesse, Hua Meisi. I now give it to you, Suria. I hope you can use it well."
"Yes! My lady! " Suria did not refuse. She took the sword and was about to kneel on one knee to show her obedience. However, the Lake Fairy took the initiative to hold her and whispered in her ear, "You don't have to kneel. Suria, I like you very much. You don't have to kneel in front of me in the future. After all, we are already …"
"Oh …" The female knight suddenly remembered what happened last night. Her face flushed red, and she almost fainted on the spot. Ryan hurriedly pulled his wife into his arms and glanced at the fairy in the lake with dissatisfaction.
The Lake Fairy turned around and said, "Let's go, Laing, Suria. Let's go prepare lunch."
…
At noon, the three of them sat around a small table and ordered a hotpot. In this snowy weather, it was quite interesting to sit around the stove and admire the snow. The Lake Fairy told the story of Hua Meisi, the Duchess of Lyonnesse, while looking at the white snow outside.
About five hundred years ago, Brittany was invaded by a huge wave of Chaos, just like a few months ago. The Knight King led an army of knights to fight, but he died in battle. The capital, Culona, was surrounded, and the Chaos Raiders looted everywhere and burned everything.
At this time, a peasant girl from Lyonnesse claimed that she had received a revelation from the Lake Fairy. She saw the goddess, and the goddess told her to destroy the invaders and protect the land that the goddess had given to Brittany!
At this time, the peasant girl was only seventeen years old, and she was a peasant girl. However, her devotion was far from that of many knights. When she heard that it was the goddess' order, she immediately took off the armor of a dead knight and held the reins of a frightened horse. She broke open the reliquary of the Church of the Holy Grail in the village and found a sword inside. Then, she wrapped a tapestry (which was actually a military flag blessed by the Lake Fairy) around her lance. She mounted her horse and called the knights of Lyonnesse to unite and fight against the enemy.
Seeing that a young serf girl actually had the guts to smash open the Holy Relic Box and fight against the army of Chaos all by herself, the knights who were retreating felt dejected and ashamed. The Light of the Lake God on the girl's body indicated that the girl had received the blessing of the Lake Goddess.
The Lady did not abandon us!
With their morale greatly boosted, the knights immediately turned their horses around and reunited under the girl's command. They finally defeated the rampaging Chaos army and broke the siege of Culona. Relying on the Goddess of the Lake's Holy Light to temporarily blind the Chaos Lord and the special effect of her sharp sword, they directly (secretly) beheaded the Chaos Lord who was stunned by the Goddess of the Lake's powerful light.
This peasant girl was Huameis. After the war, the new Knight King, "Young Man" Louis, officially signed the king's decree and promoted her from a peasant girl to a knight. He also gave her the Duchy of Lyonnesse, and she became the Duchess of Lyonnesse.
The sword she found in the Church of the Holy Grail was the sword in Sulia's hand. It was a treasure known as the "Sword of Lyonassi." In addition to having great power, this sword could also cancel out all magical effects of the opponent except for magical weapons. When fighting with the enemy, this sword could penetrate all the enemy's magical protection and make the enemy's magical armor ineffective.
This was the story of Duchess Huameis of Lyonnesse. She was also a legendary figure in Brittany.
"Her Excellency Huameis … So His Excellency Dalhyde and His Excellency Aldrede are her descendants?" Laing held Suria in his arms and let her sit on his lap. He hugged her waist and enjoyed the female knight's shyness. She was his wife, and they were on their honeymoon. What was wrong with being intimate?
Duchess Huameis was a person from five hundred years ago. Five hundred years was a long time for humans. Even if she was a Knight of the Holy Grail, she could not live that long. Laing did not know why Huameis did not become a Knight of the Holy Grail, but he could vaguely guess.
The Lake Fairy did not seem to care about this "Brittany Joan of Arc" as much as it seemed. At that time, she just needed someone who could help the knights turn the situation around, and Huameis happened to be chosen. That was all. This peasant girl could not even read. When the army of Chaos was defeated, and Huameis had received enough rewards (from serf to Duchess), the Goddess would not let her become a Knight of the Holy Grail.
"No, Huameis has no descendants." The Lake Fairy shook her head lightly and said calmly, "Even if she has descendants, they cannot inherit the title of Duchess."
"Why?" Laing asked curiously. Since she was promoted to a noble, why couldn't her descendants inherit the title?
At this time, Suria, who was leaning on Laing, said, "Laing, the nobles and serfs of Brittany are not as simple as you think."
