Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 226 New Year's Eve

Stannis's letter proposing marriage on behalf of Robert was quickly sent out. Everyone including the parties was very happy. Robert could finally marry into the noble family he had been looking forward to. Bachelor Romon and the others were happy to finally get rid of this burden Go, and Stannis is looking forward to eating a big piece of the Howth family.The entire castle was full of joy, and they didn't even think about whether the other party would like them...

For three consecutive days, Stannis stood confidently in the cage and waited for the raven carrying the letter from the Howth family. A marriage is not interesting at all.

The furious Stannis immediately summoned his men, and in a rage, he announced in the war council that he would send troops to crusade against the Howth family and pay the price for their contempt for him.

"Boss, I know you're trying to get me back. I'm so touched." Robert was crying beside him.

Although his purpose this time was not for his younger brother at all, he happened to use this as an excuse to attack the White Horse Territory, because it is a very serious diplomatic incident for the nobles in the West to not reply, so he used this reason to go to war, at least legally speaking. clear.

But Bachelor Romon stood up and objected, "Your Excellency, tomorrow is the New Year. Maybe the Howth family is busy with the celebration of the gods and forgot about it. This is also understandable. Moreover, the gods are not allowed to Reckless."

"Is there still such a rule?" Stannis withdrew his sword, and it seemed that people in Westland also paid attention to the holiday system. "Then let's talk about the crusade after the festival. By the way, how is our New Year celebration here?"

Korodov stood up and spoke. He is the person in charge of the celebration of the gods. At the end of each year, the people of the Westland will hold a grand bonfire party, and they will use the vigorous and 24-hour non-stop fire to honor the gods. Pray for blessings, and hope that the coming year will be smooth and rainy and victorious in all battles.

"My lord, everything is ready, the only thing left is to rent a noble donkey to participate in the celebration."

Stannis covered his face with his hands in pain, "I told you to stop talking about jackass and that stupid custom. What's wrong with you worshiping a donkey!"

"But!" Bachelor Romon wanted to explain to the traveler why donkeys are so worshiped, because the white donkey Jack Ace is the messenger of the king of the gods in the world, and offending it will incur punishment from heaven.

"Don't mention these stupid donkeys to me again, it costs 50 gold coins to rent a donkey to participate in the celebration! Think of me as a fool!" Stannis really felt that the guy who came up with this custom must have something to do with donkeys Three things.

"Also, it's not good to do anything with the donkey rent money. For example, I'll give you all the 50 bonuses as year-end bonuses!" Stannis said suddenly.

Robert said in a disdainful tone: "Boss, if you want to save money, just say so. Why are you giving us a year-end bonus? I really don't want to be happy for nothing."

But the lord winked at him, "Touch your left pocket."

"Stop teasing me, boss." Robert kicked his hand into his pocket suspiciously as he spoke. At first he still had a disdainful expression on his face, but when his hand reached into his pocket and touched such a mysterious thing , he suddenly froze.

"Surprise! Because there is really nothing to say, I'm here to wish you all a good old year, 5 gold coins each, don't say that I am the boss, picky and poor, and I don't take care of you." Stannis opened his hand , He believed that with such a trick, the loyalty of his subordinates to him would increase by dozens of points.

Sure enough, Robert laughed excitedly. He could finally repay the interest owed to the blacksmith at the village entrance this year without worrying about being crushed to death by his hammer of sanctions.

"Your Excellency, I am so touched. This money can be used to buy another batch of manuscripts from the priest for my granddaughter. I really don't know how to repay you."

"Then don't say any more unlucky things like retirement, and don't mention stupid donkeys anymore." Stannis looked at the old man who was the same age as his grandfather, and there were tears in his eyes, and then he wiped his eyes and continued. Shouted loudly: "By the way, don't spend all your money, you bastards, remember to buy gifts! This year, there will be no dinner party in this leaky broken castle. Everyone will go to Lucia's house tomorrow. I have Something important needs to be announced."

"It must be the wedding date with Miss Anne, it must be the wedding date with Miss Anne." Bachelor Romon kept praying with his eyes closed.

Stannis pretended not to hear and continued, "I've asked Cook to help out tonight, and you'll be busy with the things you're doing tomorrow, and you'll have to call Hypatia over, I'm so stupid. I don’t want to greet the New Year with a bunch of bachelors.”

"Then, as the scout captain, do I routinely patrol around the territory every day?" Jabotai asked curiously.

The lord had thought of this a long time ago, and he asked Kanye to accompany him on the tour tomorrow, so that they could come to the dinner immediately after 7 o'clock in the evening.

"Anyway, Aya and I congratulate you for coming."

The next night, Stannis, who had had three glasses of eggnog, felt his bladder was going to explode, but when he saw the snow-capped land outside, he thought he could bear it.

Almost all the people with names in the territory were present, except for the monk Romney who was still guarding his clinic. According to the practice, every New Year's Eve is a period of high incidence of casualties, especially the hard-working one. The farmers in Niandi can finally open their stomachs to drink.

Now the only thing missing from the banquet is Kanye and Jabotai, but I believe they are on their way back.

Although there were a lot of people, Stannis couldn't hold back his emotions and prepared to announce the exciting news.

"Everyone, everyone! Please be quiet, that Annie, don't lie on Aya's body, you are only 14 years old, don't you think it's a little early to do that!"

After he yelled for several minutes, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and Robert was still belching drunkenly by the fire.

"I invite all of you to attend this time to announce an important event," Stannis said with determination, looking down at Aya who was sitting on the carpet, and pinching the ring in his pocket.

"To the one I love..."

With a loud "bang", the door was knocked open in an instant, and a man covered in blood rushed in from the snow illuminated by the moonlight.

Anne's scream cut through the warm atmosphere.

And when they saw the face of the visitor clearly, they were even more surprised and speechless.

Because the one who broke in was Jabotai!
