Chapter 349 Princess Nice
Spring 1454
"This is a good thing."
A word of appreciation came from a window of the embassy at Mont-de-Marsan.
John in the house had just received intelligence from the Forest Territory, especially some policies of the new governor and his treacherous son.
When he learned that the governor's son was beaten up by a young girl's boyfriend because he had violated her, he couldn't help laughing for a moment, secretly rejoicing in his heart. He liked the plot of a pure love warrior beating up a minotaur the most.
However, what made John speechless was the new governor's decision to cut military spending and disarmament. You can cut military spending, but at least find a stable source of income for those retired soldiers. It's not enough to just cut off their income and ignore them. Maybe for him, it's normal to have a large number of beggars and vagrants in the city.
Fortunately, this policy has not been implemented yet, otherwise the governor would be driven out of Johannesburg by the soldiers."
John shook his head and put the information aside. It was obvious that the residents of Forest Territory still loved him very much after he left here, and the new governor successfully aroused public anger as John expected. It seemed that even if the king did not agree to John returning to Forest Territory, the new governor's current situation would force the king to transfer John back to Forest Territory to calm the people's hearts.
At this time, more than two months had passed since the war between Midland and Lana ended. John recalled that after the two countries announced the peace talks, the king not only ordered him to open the border, but also reminded him that the princess of King Nice would set off to Wendam this spring to marry him, and when she entered Midland, she would be the Southwest Governorate under John's jurisdiction, so John must ensure her safety.
As for King Lana's departure from the Midland Kingdom, it took John a long time to learn that after he announced the end of the war with the Midland Kingdom in his country, he immediately declared war on the Yoda Empire. It seems that he was very angry about the actions of the Yoda Empire.
Just as John was lost in thought, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the study. A soldier in armor, with a slightly tired face but a sense of urgency in his eyes, walked quickly to John, knelt on one knee, and saluted.
"Report to Governor John!"
The soldier responded:
"The convoy of the Princess of Nice has crossed the border and is heading towards Mont-de-Marsan. According to the messenger's report, the convoy is expected to arrive at Mont-de-Marsan at noon tomorrow."
When John heard the news, he immediately came back to his senses from his thoughts, raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, walked to the desk, picked up a pen, and quickly outlined the possible route of the convoy on paper.
"Immediately order someone to pack up the embassy and make sure everything is ready for the princess's arrival."
John ordered decisively.
"At the same time, we sent people to strengthen the security along the way to ensure the safety of the convoy."
The next day, as the sun was high in the blue sky and shortly after the noon bell rang, a messenger hurried into the embassy to report to John:
"My Lord, the Nice Kingdom's convoy has arrived at the outskirts of Mont-de-Marsan."
John immediately put down the documents in his hand and quickly put on his armor. He adjusted his helmet to make sure everything was ready, then strode towards the palace gate.
Arriving at the gate of the embassy, John took the reins and mounted his horse. Behind him, a group of one hundred knights, the White Wolf Knights, followed closely. These knights wore uniform blue cloaks with a white wolf head embroidered on them. The knights held lances and shields, marched in neat formation, and walked with firm steps.
John led the White Wolf Knights to the south gate of Mont-de-Marsan. Many citizens and officials had gathered in front of the gate, all waiting for this historic moment. The gate slowly opened, and John rode in the front, his eyes sharp, scanning the surroundings. As time passed, the convoy of the Kingdom of Nice finally came into his sight.
Amidst a cloud of dust, the convoy of the Kingdom of Nice slowly approached.
The motorcade consisted of dozens of richly decorated carriages, most of which were pulled by four horses. The horses' manes were carefully groomed and their tails were tied with ribbons, making the carriages look particularly festive.
The knights of the Kingdom of Nice were dressed in gorgeous armor, holding lances and shields, guarding on both sides of the convoy.
In front of the convoy were several messengers in gorgeous costumes. They were riding on horses, waving flags in their hands and leading the convoy forward.
At this moment, John saw a particularly conspicuous carriage in the team, which should be the princess's carriage. The carriage was pulled by eight horses, with golden patterns on the wheels, colored glass on the windows, and velvet curtains on the roof, which were embroidered with exquisite patterns.
Finally, the carriage slowly stopped under John's gaze. After a slight creaking sound, the curtains of the carriage window slowly opened, revealing a breathtaking scene. The sun shone through the gaps in the curtains and sprinkled on a woman in a gorgeous long dress. She was the princess of the Kingdom of Nice, the eldest princess of the current King of Nice, Maria.
Princess Maria's face was as white as jade, her oval face was as delicate as if it was carved, and her skin looked particularly white and tender in the sun. However, her eyes were cold and deep, as if hiding endless secrets and incomparable pride.
Her beauty and coldness coexist, forming a unique charm that makes people want to get closer to find out, but dare not approach easily. Princess Maria's gorgeous dress flutters gently in the wind, and her every movement reveals a noble temperament that makes people can't help but fall in love with her.
The whispers in the crowd gradually subsided, and almost all the citizens who saw her face were attracted by her beauty and coldness, as if time had stopped at this moment.
John took a look and then looked at the White Wolf Knights beside him. He felt relieved after seeing their unmoved state. At the same time, he recalled that this princess would become the stepmother of Princess Midland, the one who was burned to death by Griffith.
He rode up, saluted Maria and said:
"Your Highness, welcome to the Kingdom of Midland. I am John, the Governor of Mondemarsan, and I will do my best to ensure that your visit is smooth and pleasant."
However, Princess Maria's response was as cold as winter rain, without a trace of emotion:
"I'm a little tired, Governor John. Take me to a place to rest."
John didn't say anything else. He immediately signaled the knights to lead Princess Maria to the embassy.
After arriving at the embassy, John led Princess Maria and a group of servants and officials into the embassy. He pointed to one of the lavishly decorated rooms and said, "Your Highness, this place has been prepared for you. I hope you can get enough rest here."
Princess Maria simply nodded, then entered the room with a few servants and closed the door.
