In the city of Nantes in the Anju region of the Goldflower Kingdom, Colonel Frayzer Robert Carpe III, who had just enjoyed a hearty breakfast, was stretching on the balcony. He wasn’t wearing his military uniform but rather a suitable and proper hunting outfit in preparation for the short trip that was about to begin today. Just now, the Colonel had received orders from the Pioneer Army. The order, bearing the double seals of Marshal Loren and General Soros, clearly assigned him the position of “Head of the Goldflower Kingdom’s Military Observation Mission in the Transia Governorate.” It also gave him a list of officers who would accompany him to Transia. The list included young commanders carefully selected from the Pioneer Army, all of whom were promising and excellent soldiers. His chosen deputy was Reed Onnica Soros, the youngest son of General Soros, Marshal Loren’s deputy. This configuration made it all look like a “gilding” exercise, but Colonel Frayzer, familiar with the situation in Transia, knew that this would not be something that could be finished by just running over for a tour. Marshal Loren had given him a very dangerous mission! Given the current situation in Transia, once the Black Disaster breaks out and war begins, he would have to endure the test of fate just like everyone else on that land. If fate didn’t favor him, this “lucky” nobleman might end up buried in a place far from home. “Oh my, the wonderful vacation is ending early. I knew Marshal Loren wouldn’t let me spend the time of youth so easily. What a strict superior.” But there was no resistance or displeasure on the Colonel’s face. On the contrary, he was filled with a strange mentality of eagerness and impatience. On one hand, fighting for 10 years made it difficult for him to immediately return to the rhythm of ordinary life. Perhaps returning to the military camp sooner rather than later would bring peace to his mind, rather than aimlessly traveling around. On the other hand... “Frayzer! Are you awake? The sun is shining on your butt, you rice worm, don’t be lazy!” An energetic female voice sounded from the room behind the Colonel, not at all affected or pretentious, full of a spirited and dashing aura.@@@@ Under the Colonel’s helpless gaze as he turned his head, the balcony door was pushed open the next moment, and a long-legged girl in hunting attire strode towards him aggressively, holding a riding crop. This girl was a pure-blooded Silan, which was evident from her high bridge nose. But she didn’t seem to have inherited the grace and charm that Silan women pride themselves on. This is not to say that this girl was ugly, no, quite the opposite! The lady before him was almost one of the most beautiful human girls Colonel Frayzer had seen in his 30 years of life. Not only did she have a lovely oval face, delicate features, and beautiful blue eyes, but she also had an impressive figure and a pair of legs with shocking curves. She always liked to wear hunting boots or riding boots, which made her height look even more astonishing, and that upright posture was like a lioness patrolling her territory. ŖÁNOᛒÊṧ She didn’t like dresses, as they made it impossible to ride horses. She didn’t like jewelry, wearing those gaudy things would make her whole body uncomfortable. She loved beautiful and practical armor and liked to collect various weapons. On her first date with Colonel Frayzer, she showed him her astonishingly large private armory inherited from her grandfather, as if showing off a treasure. The quality of some classic swords stored in that armory shocked even Frayzer, who came from the Carpe family. Even the protective sword hanging at his waist now was a gift from his “fiancee.” Not to mention the Quality of this sword, just its previous owner was enough to make the local young people familiar with it. This was the sword of the once “Nantes Ranger” Sir Kudel, and Miss Becky before him was Sir Kudel’s direct granddaughter and one of the heirs of the Seville family. All of this meant that Miss Becky before him was far from the image of a delicate lady in Frayzer’s mind. Theoretically, she was indeed very suitable to be the Colonel’s wife, and being with her indeed wouldn’t make the Colonel feel bored. However, the real problem was that everything should have a limit. Even the most beautiful things would become strange once they exceed that limit. For example, this Miss Seville seemed to have over-developed the “knight” part of her family’s bloodline. Especially after getting familiar with Frayzer during this time, she no longer concealed the eager and itching “female knight’s heart” inside her. This made Colonel Frayzer can’t help but slander in his heart. His father must have misjudged this time. What he found for him was not a lion, but an Alaskan Malamute that could never calm down. The northerners like that kind of loyal and energetic fierce dog, but the problem is that the Alaskan Malamute living in the cold land, once coming to the temperate inland, would become very agitated and neurotic due to the problems of “heat dissipation” and inability to consume energy. Well, the Alaskan Malamute on this continent is basically equivalent to the “Husky” in another world, and this analogy shows Colonel Frayzer’s “disdain” for his “fiancee.” To be precise, it’s not disdain, but helplessness. But this is just a metaphor, he doesn’t dislike Becky, and he likes being with her, but if this is his future married life, the Colonel would definitely be desperate. “Hey, say, didn’t we agree that you’d wait for me at the manor gate? Why are you still wasting time here at this hour!” Miss Becky stepped forward, flicked her beautiful golden hair, and grinned as she hooked her arm around Frayzer’s shoulder, with such force that the Colonel had to bend down. “You weak man, you’re already like this before getting married, what will happen after marriage? Won’t I have you wrapped around my little finger? Didn’t you brag about shooting vampires with a gun in Transia? I don’t think so.” Miss Becky leaned on the Colonel’s back, grinning as she poked his cheek and said: “Are you bragging, Frayzer?” “Get down, get down! What kind of appearance is this? If someone sees us, we can’t explain it clearly. This is not ladylike behavior.” The spirited young lady didn’t care, but the Colonel’s face turned bright red, especially when he sensed Miss Becky’s quite impressive upper body swaying back and forth, which made him instinctively break free. He straightened his collar while waving his hand and said: “We haven’t reached the point where we can be this intimate, Becky. This is Nantes, the fief of the Seville family. You need to maintain your image here. Otherwise, you’ll be scolded by your father.” “Tch, I’m about to get married, he can’t wait for me to leave.” Miss Becky didn’t care at all, striking a pose with her arms folded as she complained: “He’s been overjoyed day and night because he can marry into the Carpe family, all hoping to sell me for a good price to allow the Seville family to advance further, using your family’s power to enter higher circles. You know? He used to always fear that I couldn’t get married with this personality, but then he heard from somewhere that you were also an oddball among the noble sons, and that’s when he became happy. But this is not what I want!” The proud young lady flicked her golden hair and said: “The reputation that the ancestors of the Seville family established in Nantes was not based on weak marriages. When my grandfather, Sir Kudel, was traveling north and south, he would never have wished for his descendants to expand the family’s influence in this way. My grandmother waited for him patiently without complaint, no matter how much others gossiped. She even carried poison with her just to avoid being coerced by others. It wasn’t until she was 45 that she finally ended up with my grandfather. I hope for a love story like that, one that can be passed down through generations, rather than being sent to the Carpe family as a breeding machine in the name of an alliance marriage. Perhaps saying this will hurt your heart But the fact is, Frayzer, you’re still a bit short of my standard for choosing a husband.” The atmosphere in the room quieted for a moment. The colonel’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. On one hand, Miss Becky’s proactive honesty spared him from being labeled a “scumbag”. But on the other hand, the experience of being actively rejected by a lady was really terrible. The blow to his male charm was really quite extraordinary. “Clap” A few seconds later, under Miss Becky’s dumbfounded gaze, Frayzer took out the hand cannon from his waist and placed it on the table. This frightened his fiancee. She thought her words had stimulated this man to commit suicide with her, but that wasn’t actually the case. “This gun is a gift from a young lady in Transia,” Colonel Frayzer said to his fiancee. “I must confess to you at this very important moment for both of us, Becky, that your appearance hasn’t shaken my heart as strongly as Miss Miriam’s did. Of course, this doesn’t mean I have any excessive intentions towards Miss Miriam. I just think what you just said is very correct. Appreciation is one thing, but love is another. I appreciate your personality. I think you’re the coolest and most dashing young lady I’ve ever met. If we must end up together, I will maintain this appreciation until the moment my life ends. But before that, I think it’s better if we maintain our current ‘friend’ relationship. I’ll handle the two families’ side of things so you won’t have any pressure. As for our future, I hope we can at least wait until after the Black Disaster ends to discuss it. What do you think?” “Hmm, pinky promise?” Miss Becky blinked, extending her pinky finger towards Frayzer. She pouted and said: “This is the first time I’ve been so decisively rejected by a man.” “Likewise, this is also the first time I’ve been criticized by a lady for lacking charm,” the colonel shrugged, extending his pinky finger to link with his fiancee. The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter, instantly dispelling the awkwardness. “Do you really want to go to Transia?” Frayzer said. “The Carpe family happens to have a batch of production lines to be sent to Transia to hand over to Governor Murphy, and to set up a factory there. If you’d like, I can entrust you with full responsibility for this matter.” “Ah? Can I really?” Miss Becky’s big eyes sparkled with light. She said: “But that’s your family’s business. Wouldn’t it be a bit presumptuous given my current status?” “No, you’re my fiancee,” the colonel shook his head and said. “No one dares to mess with you, so stand tall and do it with confidence. However, I have a favor to ask of you. Actually, I came to Nantes for this very matter.” Frayzer got up and took a sketch from the bedside table, handing it to Miss Becky. She opened it and looked, finding that it depicted a very special bracelet design. The colonel said: “I seem to remember seeing this style in the Anju region.” “This is the emblem of the Beverly family!” Miss Becky said with certainty. “Baron Beverly’s father was once a jeweler serving the royal family. When the old king was assassinated, he bravely protected the queen, who is the current King Louis’s mother. That brave jeweler died in the process and was thus granted a family title. This bracelet style comes from that craftsman’s last work. Only the ladies of their family are allowed to wear such a bracelet. Where did you find this?” She looked into the colonel’s eyes, curiously saying: “Baron Beverly passed away 3 years ago due to heart disease. He didn’t leave any offspring, and that family is on the verge of extinction. A group of incompetent distant relatives are fighting over the property. The lawsuit has even reached the city hall and the heraldry office. However, my father just received an order from the Pioneer Army, so he’s eagerly planning to swallow up the Beverly family’s fief to expand our family’s workshop.” “Well, dear Becky, your father might be disappointed,” Frayzer shook his head and said. “Baron Beverly should still have an illegitimate daughter, and it was she who gave me this gun. That’s Miss Miriam, a young lady as dashing as you, my other junior schoolmate. That’s her inheritance. And as I expected, she is indeed one of us. What do you say, should we help uphold justice?” “?! You’re asking me? That’s a piece of fat my father intends to swallow, Frayzer. Have you lost your mind?” “But you don’t like your father’s current ways. Your childhood dream was to be a knight who upholds justice, like your grandfather, wasn’t it?” “Hmm, that makes sense! Then can you advise me, what exactly should we do?”
