Chapter 1 Triumph
When we look back at history, we will find that the gears of fate usually need a small opportunity to move.And Duke Ryan's triumphant return from his first expedition undoubtedly started the gear for the Great Magister Sawyer to become powerful.
——The famous historian Dogra Titan.
It was a sunny and sunny morning. The Imperial Wharf was not as clean as it used to be, and the hustle and bustle almost surpassed the busiest street in the Imperial Capital.The group of sheriffs in the imperial capital had long since lost their usual high-spirited appearance. They all opened their mouths and gasped for breath in the crowd, as if they were fish thrown ashore in embarrassment. Not far in front, there is a row of nobles standing elegantly, mostly women, wearing the most popular tutu skirts, revealing delicate collarbones and half of white breasts, of course, it is also dotted with various gemstones, in their hands Holding a delicate and small fan, talking in a low voice, looking towards the pier, and chuckling from time to time, the nobles are surrounded by a few servants, holding umbrellas, holding snacks and tea, Regardless of the back of the shirt gradually wet.
Behind the sheriffs were tens of thousands of civilians in the imperial capital. Yes, they were. The task of the sheriffs was to prevent enthusiastic civilians from crossing the white line under their feet.The civilians who avoided them on weekdays seemed to be under some kind of daring magic today, pushing forward desperately, and some even stretched out their hands to scratch them!The sheriffs were about to collapse. They pulled their collars and gritted their teeth looking at the two rows of guards of honor standing in front of the nobles like statues. Don't they just have a good face!You can stand in the safest and eye-catching place wearing the most exquisite and beautiful military uniform in the entire empire, and accept everyone's admiring gaze!
Just when the sheriffs were about to collapse, a faint shadow of sails appeared at the end where the sea and the sky meet in the distance. Gradually, more and more sails appeared, until finally, a group of gorgeous battleships appeared in front of everyone , For a while, there were cheers.
A tall and straight figure stood on the deck of the battleship.
"Master, it's time for you to change your clothes."
Ryan frowned slightly, but still turned around and walked towards the cabin: "I really don't know what's in the heads of those people, but they came up with the bad idea of letting the knights take the boat."
The man who looked like a housekeeper following Ryan didn't respond to the rebellious and shocking remarks, but after Ryan entered the room, he quickly took off Ryan's clothes and put them on again layer by layer. The military uniform that Tian Tian took over from the envoy of the imperial capital.
The feeling of being bound by his neck made Ryan frowned again. Just as he raised his arm, he heard a burst of sound coming from his body, as if there were countless bells hanging on his body. He looked at the handsome figure in the mirror, disdainful The corner of his mouth curled up: "If all the knights wear such clothes on the battlefield, then the enemy will be overjoyed. What could be easier than killing a group of cats?"
"Master, I heard that hanging bells on cat tails is no longer popular in the imperial capital. The most popular thing nowadays is to raise a snake with a mask."
"It's not easy for those idiots to know that snakes will kill them."
While the butler was talking, the movements in his hands did not stop at all. He hung the last sword on Ryan's waist, then took a step back, bowed and said, "Master, it's time to go out."
Ryan raised his feet and walked onto the deck again, and the cheers rose a few degrees again.In just a short time, the warship has arrived at the Imperial Capital Wharf.Back in the imperial capital where he had been away for three years, Ryan's eyes showed no emotion at all, and he looked ahead indifferently, expressionless.However, even so, it is completely unable to stop the enthusiasm of others.
"My God! General Ryan is so handsome!"
"Oh! God, I can guarantee that General Ryan is the youngest and most handsome general in the empire!"
"Such a handsome man is not yet married! Are all the women in Trost blind?"
"Perhaps it's General Ryan who doesn't like them! How can women from such a small town compare with us who are elegant and noble!"
……
All kinds of voices kept pouring into their ears, and a trace of disdain flashed in Ryan's eyes. The minds of this group of nobles were indeed filled with mud. In just three years, they forgot that they were there. How did they laugh at him as an illegitimate child at a ball?Apparently they also forgot how they laughed at the marriage of their illegitimate son and trash at that wedding.
The battleship anchored and docked, and the guard of honor on the shore turned around in unison, pulled out the sword inlaid with gems around their waists, and pointed it straight at the sky. For a moment, the salute was fired, and it was fired twelve times. After the chants of the triumphant general and the sound of the gun salute, the guards of honor pointed their swords forward and down, waiting for their general.
Ryan was solemn, and was about to lift his feet to get off the boat when a baby's cry suddenly burst out from the cabin behind him. Walking out, the man held a baby in his arms, Ryan took the baby from the man's hand naturally, the next second, the baby's crying stopped abruptly, and the fleshy little paws stretched out, without a trace. Without hesitation, he grabbed the gold button on Ryan's collar...
"Baby, this is not acceptable." Ryan's voice was very gentle, and his expression was even more gentle. He gently held the baby's little hand, and said softly, "This is a reward from His Majesty, and it must not be damaged in the slightest."
When the baby saw that the target had failed, he immediately started crying again. A look of helplessness flashed across Ryan's handsome face. At this moment, the butler beside him handed over a ruby. Ryan let go of the baby's hand and put the ruby on the In his little palm, this made the little guy stop crying again.
The originally solemn welcome ceremony seemed ridiculous because of the appearance of this baby, and the perfect expressions of the members of the guard of honor, who had always been so calm even if the sky fell, had a crack. A triumphant general steps down the red carpet for a welcoming ceremony with a baby in his arms!
The noble girls also changed their countenance.
"Oh my god! General Ryan went to fight that savage orc, how could he bring a baby back!"
"Oh! God! I heard there are rough women who are bigger than cows! How worthy of General Ryan! How qualified to have General Ryan's children!"
"Maybe this child was just picked up, and it's not necessarily true!"
"Maybe it was left by a soldier. General Ryan sympathized with the soldiers and took the child in!"
"Oh! General Ryan is such a kind man!"
……
Among the nobles, only one person twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain: "Sure enough, he is an illegitimate child who is not on the stage. He actually asked those inferior people to help him have a child. I just don't know. My proud cousin is watching What will it look like when you see this child?"
