A gust of wind blows from the hillside and relentlessly blows to the Loenland Basin. The flags of the Northern and Central forces, symbolic of each family, fluttered roughly.
Greasy, well-groomed northern swords were warming up with no regrets in the sunlight. The gap between the infantry troops was definitely constant, and the whole army was like a well-sharpened sword, aligned like a sword.
The Central Army, on the other hand, has a tight footing and a sloppy march. He would, too, because during the Battle of Wrightgen, most of the central knights were torn apart during the Great Horse War, and there was a shortage of command personnel.
The loss of life for the Central Army was not so great, but the equipment was poor because they left most of the heavy equipment such as spears and shields behind.
Both armies breathed and looked at the two distant women. Marriage or fighting, their lives and destiny depended on two women.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians near the Central Army also breathed and watched two women.
They were knights and soldiers' families, merchants, nobles, prostitutes, nurses, bard, etc., all kinds of jobs and identities.
There were many Southern nobles and members of the League of Merchants, as well as the Middle Men.
It was confusing to realize that the history of the world was determined by the two distant women, the merchant who came for this right, the nobleman who came for the rocking power plate, or just the peasant who came to live.
With hundreds of thousands of attention, Rosamund looks down at Mary in a silk cotton wool fabric.
They look alike when they love each other. Rosamund was not the young queen of a country that had been defeated before. Beautiful silver eyes contained goodness, innocence, courage and will.
Her silver hair glistened with sunlight toward noon, sweeping through the soldiers, and she lost her strength, and her hair and dress were trembling.
It was a site of hundreds of thousands of people, but it was quiet as if there were only two women in the world. Only the river that flows under the bridge makes a groaning sound, as if it wasn't interested in humans.
“You must be Maria. Nice to meet you."
Rosamund speaks boldly first.
“It's an honor to meet you. Mama."
Mary also spoke boldly, grabbing the side end of the dress slightly, bending her knees slightly, and greeting the lady.
A light smile spread over Rosamund's face. Maria's fancy outfit caught my eye, but I thought it might be as important as the royal ceremony.
Rosamund asked as she looked down at Maria.
“Are you not willing to marry at your father's behest? ”
Most nobles in this age were married regardless of their own physician, because they were married according to the arrangement of their parents.
It was not that there was no love marriage, but it was really rare. However, Rosamund asked the opinion of the parties because he was married in a relationship, which was one of the rare things.
At least, I didn't want to force her to marry against her doctor.
“No, this is what I've been looking forward to. I've been waiting for 10 years refusing to marry my father. ”
Rosamund nods. I heard stories from Albrecht about my travels.
I also heard a little bit about Maria. It must have been Maria who refused to marry you during the time of Lord Oberburn.
“Yes. I think I've heard from Albert. You've been waiting 10 years. That's great. ”
Rosamund said it purely as a compliment, but Maria's judgments were slightly off. The name 'Albert’, not the other one, bothered me.
“Yes, so I met the king before you. ”
There was a slight thorn in the horse. Rosamund was also a little grumpy. I asked with a slight frown.
“What do you mean? ”
Mary replies casually.
“It didn't mean anything. I'm just letting you know. ”
Rosamund is a little short. If the men had heard it, it would have seemed that there was nothing wrong with the conversation, but Rosamund clearly knew that Maria provoked herself.
“Take off your veil. Let me see your face."
The atmosphere began to cool down. The wind subsided and the alpine vegetation seemed to die.
In fact, wearing a headscarf in front of the king or queen was not a courtesy unless it was a special occasion. Rosamund tries to move on, but commands you as queen.
Maria doesn't just hand the cotton wool over to her head, but takes some time to do so. I even touched Rosamund's mind.
The white skin of Mary's porcelain is clearly contrasted with black hair, and her large eyes are slightly sharp, with her eyes slightly raised above them, resembling zigmunts.
She was a rare beauty, but she seemed bitter somewhere. I looked straight at Rosamund with those eyes.
Albrecht, far away, also takes off his helmet and watches over two women. I was too far away, so I couldn't hear the two of them if I shouted aloud like the soldiers.
Rosamund and Maria's closest were the two maids who performed them, and they were not close enough to hear them.
Only the sun wrapped the two women in warm warmth to unwind the cooling atmosphere. With tens of thousands of lives and the history of the world at stake, the sun was powerless.
“I wonder why you're bothering me. I don't think you're an idiot. ”
Rosamund's mouth grows a little rougher. Mary smiles lightly. When I looked closely, I laughed.
“Because after 10 years of waiting, God, destiny, led you to me. Does that mean I have an heir? ”
Maria has spoken out of her mouth what she shouldn't have said in this important position. Rosamund's mouth is slightly opened without even knowing it.
Then someone in the Northern Army shouted.
“God save the queen!" ”
He was a soldier in the army that Wilhelm brought with him. The soldier was from Anglia, a soldier who fought in the war when Rosamund was Queen of Anglia.
I could not hear them talking, but their loyalty burned and they shouted. I'm just a petty soldier, but I've been trying to convince a woman like Sagan that she might die.
The soldiers around you look at you as if you're crazy. I quickly examined the knight nearby, but I ignored him. You're not mad?
“God save the queen!" ”
Once again, the soldier cried. This time, some of the soldiers around shouted.
“God save the queen!" ”
“Save the Queen! ”
The sound of Rosamund favoring her queen spread throughout the northern army like wildfires in a flash.
The 15,000 troops shouted at the same time, reaching beyond the two women on the bridge to the people across the river.
The Central Army, on the other hand, had nothing to offer. The Northern soldiers followed the king and queen with their hearts, but they did not follow Zigmund with their hearts.
The Central Army died, and the nobles and merchants who came to watch were impressed, and the bard was inspired.
Soldiers show the difference between Rosamund and Maria. It was Maria who first met Albrecht, but she was with Rosamund for over a decade.
Maria looks at Rosamund, expressionlessly, no matter how strongly the soldiers shout. He looked like his father, but there was a charisma in his face.
Rosamund's absurd for a moment, but the soldiers remind me of a relaxed smile. Maria's reckless charisma is insignificant.
“I know Albert well. If you had that idea, Albert wouldn't love you. I like to listen to it. ”
Rosamund leaves a note and turns around and leaves the bridge. He climbed on his horse with skillful body movements and headed for his loyal northern army. Albrecht hurries to his wife.
“What do you think? You think she's okay? ”
Rosamund shakes his head, smiling bitterly.
“I think he's the one who thinks he's smart. I don't like it, but I'll let you marry me. But don't expect me to make friends with him. ”
Albrecht was confused.
"What's wrong with her? ’
The reason Rosamund allowed marriage was because he thought of his soldiers. He didn't want to sacrifice his life.
And for another reason, I wanted to give Albrecht a middleman.
Since Zigmunt surrendered and gave his full support to the marriage, it was not difficult to get the whole of the Central Army, given the 25,000 troops and supplies gathered here.
Rosamund hoped that his beloved husband would take a easier road than the rough road.
“Was it that bad? Are you sure that's what the soldiers are saying? ”
Albrecht did not care whether he went the easy way or the hard way. Right now, Rosamund's mood was the only thing that mattered, so he tried to laugh nonsense.
“Hahaha, it's not like that. Why did it come out? ”
Maria stands on the bridge and looks at Albrecht, but Albrecht doesn't even give her a glance. He only looked at his wife.
Maria seems to be coming up with something she can't stand. Swinging back, he also heads for the Central Army. The maids rush in and pick up the long corner of the dress.
Hundreds of thousands of people murmured about what was going on. The sun, eavesdropping on two women's stories, was just silent.
Marriage was successful, but people did not say it was a festive atmosphere. The Central Army was relieved, and the Northern Army felt something cold.
It was good that the war was over, but I didn't want to become a member of the central family. But what can I do? The queen gave her permission, no one else. It was the king's decision.
Thousands of middle and southern nobles and merchants flock to Albrecht like a tide.
It was to line up somehow for an unprecedented Great King who had conquered the North and virtually conquered the Middle. You pack all sorts of precious things up like a pile and flock to Albrecht.
Albrecht refused all of them. Because I didn't even know who it was, and I couldn't act like I was going to write a permission slip or let him live because I was blinded by the treasure right in front of me.
When the war was over, there was a pre- and post-process. Albrecht's vast treasures seem to be just a job.
Only he and Rosamund had administrative abilities in his army at this moment. Like it or not, we were in a position to use Zigmunt.
Since it was not a time of great population, hundreds of thousands of people gathered as an opportunity on their own.
So Albrecht didn't want to wait around for a big wedding or anything. I decided to schedule the wedding as soon as possible. The date was set to May 8 three days later.
I decided to put the wedding venue on the bridge. Soldiers armed with spears, merchants blind to all kinds of interests, and nobles who only wanted to kiss like rats were guests.
Though I thought it was too lightning to stir-fried beans, Albrecht focused on their "surrender," and Zigmunt focused on their "marriage."
Albrecht thought it was a diplomatic negotiation of mutual interest. The negotiations between the two giants establish order on the continent were inconspicuous.
