Rise of Rurik

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: []https://The fastest update! No ads!

The inside story of some Frankish royal families is definitely beyond the knowledge of a small nobleman, let alone a village girl.

Rurik tentatively believes in the girl's true identity, but on this issue, trust or not is not a big issue.

The question is, what is the position of this foreign woman in Rose.

"Well, I believe your name is Gisla. I believe you are the daughter of that Lothar. You... sitting here should know my purpose." Rurik's words were still offensive.

Blackbird still sat quietly: "I have cut off with Frank. You attack Lothar, I... don't object to it, nor support it. Does a woman like me have a voice?"

"The little girl is stubborn. Do you hate your father?"

"No. I don't hate him. It's just..."

She was obviously covering up something unspeakable, so Rurik poked his head and stared into her eyes and asked, "Tell me. Lothair, what kind of existence is it in your eyes!"

"He." The hooked head suddenly lifted up, with extremely complicated emotions on the blackbird's face, her lips trembling slightly: "He doesn't love me. Then, I don't love him anymore. At least in Rose, someone loves me."

At this moment, a delicate voice suddenly intervened in this awkward conversation. Willika rubbed her father's arm coquettishly: "I like the blackbird the most, she is my best friend."

"Oh? Is that all?"

Verika's laughter ended the tense atmosphere, but she and her father acted so coquettishly, in the eyes of the blackbird, she was so eager for something.

"Now, Teresia the Blackbird is the priest in my hand, Verika's personal daughter-in-law.

servant. "The high priest, Rumia, solemnly explained the child's new identity.

"Personal maid? Best friend? No. I don't think it's easy." Rurik shook his head and continued to look at the girl's face. "I want you to say it yourself. Don't be afraid, you see...I'm not a vicious man either."

"I... did rebel against God. There are people in Ross who love me," she replied calmly.

"Who? Is it my daughter Verika? And the high priest who granted you a new life? You? Still pure?"

Rurik's words were sharply offensive. He is the king who has the right to ask such a question, and because of the particularity of the Great Temple, those young low-level priests must serve the gods in a pure manner unless they have special needs. If they dare to have an affair with a man and become unclean, they can be executed in principle.

The rules are made by people. Although there were no such rules in the past, Rurik really knew why the group of young priests from the Great Temple came—to be gilded by their parents.

Sending their beautiful daughters to the Great Temple for "advanced training", their families would have to pay a high "tuition fee", and the two parties signed a written contract for this.

The life of the lower priests is guaranteed, they receive education but their lives are restricted by commandments, and the most serious one is having an affair with a man. When they retire normally and return them to their parents, they must still be pure when they return, otherwise this "sacred training" will be in vain.

The blackbird shook his lips: "It's Verika. And...you canonized Earl of Gothenburg, Blue Fox. Joseph Blue Fox, that cunning fox."

"So it was him?" Rurik became even more curious, and asked with great interest: "He is the general of the expeditionary army I appointed, it seems that you were appointed by him."

captive. how? A person who captures you, you...won't you have feelings for him? "

"Yes! It's love." Blackbird seized this opportunity and said in a tone of plea: "I heard that my fate will be decided by you. King Ross, please allow me to marry Joseph Blue Fox. I hope to live as Countess of Gothenburg."

Where is this all? Rurik, who had just woken up, managed to convince himself that the so-called Frankish princess was in his hands. Now he has to admit the girl's marriage to his general.

Rurik looked at Rumia suspiciously, smiled maliciously and asked, "High Priest? You should give me an explanation."

"This...it does happen."

"It really has something to do with that Blue Fox guy?"

"It's that man's own opinion..." Rumia couldn't make up her mind at all. After all, all the arrangements were based on the fact that Rurik had admitted that the girl was Blue Fox's fiancee. After hesitating, she could only mutter: "Since the meal will be served in a while. If you think it is necessary, you can even order Blue Fox to have dinner. By the way, face to face."

This reminded Rurik.

He patted his thigh: "It's not necessary to have dinner. After all, I want to have a good chat with Blue Fox. The next expedition can't do without that fat man. By the way, hehe... I have to explain clearly about this Princess Gisla."

For the blackbird, or Princess Ghisla, she never thought that she could observe everything about King Ross at such a close distance, let alone communicate with each other in Latin without barriers.

It was a young man with a blond ponytail

The man, with a well-shaven beard, now puts on light casual clothes, highlighting cleanliness and leisure in all aspects.

Even the top male nobles, even his father Lothair, often have a slight stench on their bodies. It was a mixture of sweat and body odor, just because they were always on horseback, and even if they had hot springs, it was not a daily bath.

The situation of the female nobles was even worse. On the contrary, they were taken captive to the capital of Ross. The blackbird either actively or passively washed itself frequently, supplemented by soap with rose essential oil.

Even the freckles on her nose and cheeks are much less.

The existence of freckles was forcibly explained by the priests. Its number depends on the amount of good deeds in life. At least the more freckles, the more pious.

It has been almost a year since she was captured, and she has stopped doing this. Blackbird is more willing to believe her own observation. She admits that she has betrayed the Lord, but never admits that she is a villain. She has never killed anyone or cheated in her life. If she had blood on her hands, it was because she executed a sacrificial reindeer on the altar after believing in a new god—this kind of behavior just won Odin's love.

She knew that King Ross was clearly the instigator of the war and the culprit who caused her to be taken away and Aachen to be looted. Now that this man was sitting in front of her, she really couldn't hate him at all, and was even...willing to have a good chat with him.

A girl completely let go of her guard, but she didn't know that her courage, arrogance and open heart also made Rurik full of interest.

"If only my daughter Verika had such insight?

! A female ruler should have such temperament..."

Knowledge does not only lie in the places you have been to and the delicacies you have eaten at that time, it is also a philosophical attitude towards people. Blackbird, who was once frightened, has adapted to Rose's way of life, and a thing called "ambition" is also awakening in the dark.

She personally faced King Ross and emphasized "I would like to be the Countess of Gothenburg". Could it be that she is just a wife of a nobleman?

Because the Kingdom of Ross does not have the "Salik Inheritance Law", the female nobles of Ross can have real power, especially military power. She really realized that after marrying Blue Fox, she would largely share the ruling power of the uncle with her husband.

As the so-called deep love hates, seeing her good sister Verika who shares the bed with her can face her biological father like a cat like a spoiled child, which is beyond her reach. His biological father, Lothair, likes hunting and war, and supports him with the attitude of a female monk.

Even civilian women have the right to snuggle up to their father and act like a baby, right? On the other hand, I can barely touch a single hair of my biological father, and walking in the court with his skirt up in front of him is considered the most intimate contact.

"Father, I want to take revenge on you. Uncle, I want to take revenge on you too. You don't love me, so I... I should tell you what is wrong in my own way." She suppressed these rebellious thoughts in her heart, but she was already standing on the standpoint of the northerners, and those Frankish ways of saving morality might be put behind her.

In the loft-style palace, dinner arrives before the blue fox.

The cooks carried the baskets of braised noodles to the second floor, and left under the **** of the guards.

.

High Priest Rumia, she went downstairs to bring up the meals herself, and then spread out the large glass bowls one by one in the soft light of the oil lamp.

The tough handmade noodles are topped with venison sauce and marinated cabbage. Rurik’s idea of ​​Dalumen has already been successfully reproduced, and now it is a favorite meal choice of the royal family and the Governor’s Palace. The premise is that diners must know how to use two sticks of chopsticks, or a fork.

While waiting for the meal, Verika stuck to her father with glue all over her body. In order to make up for her eldest daughter after missing for a year, Rurik let him act like a spoiled child.

The third floor has wooden tables, which are used as a simple family restaurant.

But is it really simple?

The blackbird has been silently observing King Ross's daily life, and eating is an important item. Because in the Royal Palace of Aachen, only his two elder brothers have the right to eat at a long table with the king's father, it seems that eating at the special table is a proof of royal power.

But even for meals, the way the Frankish royal family eats is far less elegant than that of King Ross.

tableware? Just a knife. She has seen her father eat meat and chicken, cut a large piece of meat with a knife, and just use her hands to tear it, it doesn't matter if her hands are full of oil, just rub it on the rag on the table or on herself.

It's far from Ross's attention to tableware, not to mention that the Ross people's food patterns can be described as complicated.

The blackbird was invited to be the guest of honor. In fact, in Rurik's opinion, this was nothing more than the so-called "normal family dinner model in the 21st century".

Four chairs were placed on the wooden table, where Rurik himself, Rumia, Verika, and the special guest Blackbird Tracy sat

Ya,

But at the dinner table, Rurik preferred to call her by her real name.

"You don't have to be restrained. My daughter likes you very much, Gisla, which shows that you are indeed worthy of liking. Now have a simple family dinner with me, and I hope you can adapt."

"Okay. Thank you, King Ross... for your hospitality."

As the blackbird watched Rurik, so Rurik watched her. How a person's character is is often inadvertently expressed in daily life.

This girl looks like she has received a strict court education. Is she very particular about eating?

"Then let's start." Rurik said with a relaxed smile, "We are northerners, so we don't need to believe in God. Jisla, there is no pre-meal prayer here, if you insist on doing it..."

"Then, I'd rather pray to the gods of the north." After finishing speaking, the blackbird folded its hands together and closed its eyes in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Verika also smiled and followed the good sister to perform a small ceremony, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

The staple food is braised noodles, supplemented by sliced ​​meat and vegetable soup in clay pots, and some cold meat platters.

Although Ross has the etiquette of sharing meals, but when the family gets together, everyone will eat together.

Rurik was busy cooking, sucking on the noodles and making a loud noise, and quickly finished half the bowl. "It's really delicious. You can only eat this kind of delicious food in the capital."

He fiddled with the chopsticks happily, grabbing slices of meat from the plate and stuffing them into his mouth.

All of this was seen by the blackbird, and the way he chewed slowly was not watched by Rurik?

"Huh? Gisla, yes, the skillful hands know how to use my Rose's two sticks?"

"This cutlery is called Kvaiz, right?

? I have learned. I don't think so, King Ross, you're using it to pick up slices of meat. If it had been my father, he would have done it straight away. "

"Are you watching me?" Rurik was curious, and couldn't help thinking about the days when he was with Ludwig, Duke of Great Bavaria. "I know your uncle best. Ludwig is such a lack of attention, and he is still a great nobleman. Your uncle used to despise us northerners. Now it seems... Maybe he will be ashamed."

"It's hard to say. But I am willing to be a northerner. So when the Earl of Gothenburg arrives later, I hope the king can admit my identity in front of him."

"Hey, Jisla, are you blackmailing me?" Rurik asked intentionally.

"I dare not. Like my current name, Blackbird. I am a bird of the north, a bird that is not afraid of the cold. Even so, I sit here, and my fate is determined by the king, but I really like him."

This is the most absurd point Rurik raised.

Blue Fox Gouldsson should be thirty-three years old this year, and Rurik learned that this blackbird is only thirteen years old this year. Of course, even according to Frank's law, even the king's daughter is considered an adult at the age of twelve, and she can be betrothed to a certain nobleman or arranged to be the dean of a women's monastery.

They are twenty years apart. Can a princess really fall in love with a robber? Is this girl suffering from Stockholm disease, or does this girl have a little Electra complex and needs to make amends on others, or does she realize that this will be a political marriage that is very beneficial to her?

It is undeniable that one of the great nobles of the Ross Kingdom

Blue Fox, whose view on marriage is a mystery. When his elder brother Baihu had already embraced his grandson, the second brother, Lanhu, was still alone.

Are you really waiting for a fate? In the end, a princess was waiting.

It feels absurd, but fits Ross's code in every way. It's just that the existence of the blackbird itself is indeed a potential political tool. Before Frank's dust settles, Rurik is not willing to let her go and send her to the blue fox. After all, once the identity is completely confirmed, her identity as Charlemagne's granddaughter is also true. As long as she gives birth to a boy in the future, she may be qualified to challenge those Western European nobles by inheriting her blood.

Rurik had a premonition that he would directly witness the end of the civil war when he went to Frank this time. As for how it ended, Ross should not be a spectator, but a direct participant, leaving a strong mark on the history books.

The blackbird said something, and then he ate the braised noodles slowly. Her upbringing made her habitually shut up and chew slowly, and it was absolutely impossible for her to babble. She returned to eat in silence, when suddenly two wooden sticks appeared in front of her.

She raised her head sharply: "King Ross, you..."

"Add some meat for you." Rurik used his own chopsticks to hold the venison pieces of the cold meat platter, UU reading www. uukanshu.com was abruptly delivered to the blackbird's bowl.

To him it was a temptation, but to the blackbird it was an offense?

It was offensive, Rurik had done it on purpose.

This is like a toast. If she is really smart and knows how to endure, she will be able to realize the truth of toasting and not eating fine wine.

"Your father would never do that, would he?"

Ke let go of his chopsticks, immediately picked up some other slices of meat, and sent them to his daughter Verika's bowl.

The latter didn't have any worries, so he ate the meat slices with a smile, and grinned: "Thank you, Dad."

Is the Ross royal family so close without anyone knowing it? It's unbelievably intimate.

Looking at the slices of meat in his bowl, the blackbird with mixed flavors had no choice but to stuff them into his mouth...
