Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 283 Ten-Day Covenant
"What did the letter say?" Stannis said lazily, now he was the one taking the initiative.

Consultant Romon re-read the letter. He was excited and didn't read much about the content just now, "This letter is from Hernandez, the eldest son of the Huos family. You proposed to his daughter at that time. He wrote on it Thanks to your great love, he is of course willing to marry his daughter to the prestigious knight Robert, but now that the family is in turmoil, he hopes that after his father chooses the next Earl of Howth, he can discuss this marriage carefully .”

Stannis understood the meaning of the letter as soon as he heard it, "Oh, it turns out that he wanted me to send troops to stand by him so that he could be escorted to the throne of Earl Howth, and his daughter was the condition."

Advisor Romon shook his head. He would never treat his granddaughter as a political victim, nor would he let her marry Robert.

"The payment was made five days ago, which is the date when we dispatched our troops, Your Excellency."

"He will choose a time to send it. If I am destroyed, no one will know that he used the power of the outside world to participate in family affairs, and his small calculations are better than the other... Wait, what is the date?"

Advisor Romon was very surprised by his reaction, and he confirmed the date of the letter, it was five days ago and there was nothing wrong.

"Your Excellency, it says February st, it's not wrong!"

"February st..." Stannis repeated the date, his whole body stiffening.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with this date? What's the connection with the Howth family!" His appearance made the old man nervous.

But this matter has nothing to do with the Howth family, but this date reminded him of a very important thing, or something directly related to his life.

That was the ten-day agreement that An Ya made with him in the letter when she left!The female mage left without saying goodbye when he went to the mausoleum to find the answer, and left a letter saying that she had found her enemy and would start revenge.But she was willing to wait for him in a nearby town for ten days. After ten days, whether he came or not, she would face the smiling man directly.

After deducting these few days, Stannis only had two days left to arrive at the agreed address.

"Damn it! My Anya!" Stannis sat down on the ground. This was the happiness of his lower body. What if she was killed by the enemy?Where can I find a wild and gentle woman to love?
"It's not about Miss Aya, is it?" Counselor Romon finally realized that the man in front of him would roll on the ground without dignity only for the sake of a woman.

Although he thought that there was a high probability that he would miss the ten-day appointment, Stannis still had a glimmer of hope and asked, "How far is Oak Town from here?" This town was the waiting place Anya mentioned in her letter.

Consultant Romon gave a quick answer, "If you rush there without eating or sleeping, you can get there in a day and a half."

Stannis got up from the ground in a jerk, so it wasn't too late for him, let's go now without delay!

"Robert!" He habitually thought of his younger brother, but the other party didn't pop up as usual.

"Damn it, where did this bastard go? He disappeared when it was time to use him!" Stannis searched around, and found that his subordinates didn't know where to go to have fun. I knew that I wouldn't give them that big bonus Yes, free drinks and women, even if I don't know how to work.

Now only the old man and his granddaughter are left in the castle...

Although he knew that Romon was very powerful, his old body would definitely not be able to bear this kind of long-distance travel. There was no other way, and Stannis could only go alone.

He recalled the map given to him by the dragon in his mind. Oak Town is a very difficult and remote town in the swamp in the south. He has to walk along the river to get there.

Without further ado, Stannis immediately started to prepare for departure. His current bachelor, Dana, was silently helping him prepare the luggage and supplies for departure.

And old man Romon, a consultant who has retired to the second line, was noisy next to him, "The important function of a bachelor is to prevent the lord from committing stupidity. For example, this kind of thing that is known to be risky must dissuade him!"

The busy and sweaty Bachelor Dana nodded her chin with her hands and said with a smile, "Then Grandpa, have you ever successfully prevented the lord from taking risks?"

These words hit Advisor Romon's weakness, and he left silently without saying a word.

Stannis winked at the girl with his right eye. It was great to have a maester speaking for him, but he still had some essential knowledge to fill before he set off.

"Daina, do you know the Phoenix family?"

Dana nodded immediately, "Of course I know, this is a family that was destroyed 15 years ago."

Human flesh encyclopedia is really useful, Stannis then asked: "Then do you know why they were destroyed?"

This is not a problem for this knowledgeable girl. After a little thought, Dana gave the answer, "The official statement is that the Phoenix family wanted to communicate with foreign countries, which is not good for the Principality of Tanis, so they were wiped out by Duke Garcia's troops." .”

"What about the reality?"

The girl shrugged, "I don't know the truth, but it is rumored that this catastrophe was caused because the Phoenix family provided shelter for the last heir of the previous duke."

"Then, have any members of the Phoenix family escaped this catastrophe?"

This can't be the fault of Dana, she doesn't know anything about knowledge other than books.Looking at the girl's blushing face, Stannis knew that this question was indeed a bit too difficult to ask.

His eyes fell on the Pisha behind Dana, also known as the Phantom Kamikaze, and he made up his mind about this artifact.

"Daina, can you lend me that beautiful veil of yours?" Stannis begged.

The girl caressed the transparent tulle nervously and said cautiously: "This is the ordinary veil that my grandma left to my father, and it was also left to me. What do you want this for?"

She doesn't seem to know that this is the Phantom Kamikaze.

"Isn't it so beautiful! I want to choose the same one for Anya, so you can be a model, okay! Xiaona!"

Although she was not happy, Dana still untied the veil honestly and handed it to Stannis. The shape of the thing did not change during the whole process, and only mages could use it.

"Okay, it's time for me to go. While I'm away, you will handle all the affairs in the territory for me, and take care of your grandpa!"

After Stannis finished speaking, he got on his horse. In order to get to the destination as quickly as possible, Stannis prepared three horses to transfer on the way.

Dana clenched her fists and nodded shyly.

"Then you should be careful on the road."

Stannis grinned at her, whipped his whip, and headed south.
