Chapter 432: Fighting Village Wars, I am a Professional 1
"Nancy, get up quickly, Aunt Ellie and Cousin Terrence will be here soon"
9899 felt a chill, and the quilt covering him was lifted up.
She opened her eyes and saw a woman with long curly chestnut hair and a medieval European dress hurriedly opening the curtains.
The sun shines through the window, casting a spot of light on the ground.
The woman turned around and looked at 9899, who was still sitting on the bed in a daze, and shouted, "Nancy, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"
She walked up to 9899, put her hands on her hips, and chattered non-stop: "Listen, Nancy, I know you don't like cousin Terrence, but now that the damned Kangman Kingdom is attacking, we must seek help from my aunt and others. Only in this way can we protect our Ampura Kingdom."
She sat down next to 9899, her eyes serious. "For the sake of our country's people and for the glory of our father, you must behave well today. Do you understand?"
9899 nodded obediently.
She didn't know the specific situation and could only deal with it for the time being.
The woman was satisfied, and she signaled the two maids standing beside her to dress up 9899.
"Hurry up," the woman urged. "Nancy, when I come back, I must see you dressed!"
After saying this, she hurried outside again.
9899 sat in front of the dressing mirror, letting the maid braid her hair, closed her eyes and began to receive memories.
This is a world where kings are everywhere and lords are as numerous as dogs.
Here, the feudal lord system is practiced.
It is somewhat similar to the feudal system of a dynasty in a certain world, starting from the king and then dividing the land layer by layer downwards.
Under the king there are great lords, and under the great lords there are small lords. The places they are granted can be called xx countries.
Just like in a fairy tale world, you may meet a princess or a prince at any time while walking on the street, and then write a touching story that will be passed down through the ages.
Under such a system, for the lords, their fiefdoms and the people living on them were their private property.
Resources are limited, but there are many countries, which means that war and aggression are inevitable.
Some kings with tyrannical temperaments would take the initiative to stir up trouble and use it as an excuse to plunder other countries' land, money and population.
Her original name was Nancy Clemens, and she was the princess of Ampula.
Although it is called a "country", its area is actually only the size of three villages. The total population, including slaves, is estimated to be only more than 2,000 people.
Even this is already considered a medium-sized lord in this world.
The country of Ampura was subordinate to the Celtic country and had to pay taxes to the Celtic country every year.
The original body's father, Leopold Clemens, was a baron. He inherited the country of Ampula from his father's father's father... anyway, from his ancestors. He was born, grew up, married and had children here.
Leopold married three wives in total. The first queen was a princess from a neighboring country. She married with a fiefdom given to her by her father and a generous dowry.
But beauty is envied by heaven. After the first queen gave birth to the eldest princess Scarlett, her health was always poor and she passed away the following year.
Later, Leopold married his second wife, who was the original body's mother.
The original body's mother was the daughter of a small lord. She was beautiful and her black eyes made her mysterious, which immediately captured Leopold's heart.
The original body was born in the second year after marriage.
However, Leopold may have been unlucky with his wife, and within a few years, his original mother also passed away.
Then Leopold married his third wife, the current Queen Jacqueline, and also gave birth to a daughter, Shirley.
Jacqueline did not have the wealth of her first wife, nor the beauty of her original mother. She was cowardly and boring, but she was very patient and loving, and devoted to Scarlett Johansson and her original self.
In this era, there is a shortage of medical care and medicine, and a small cold can be fatal.
If Jacqueline had any bad intentions, Shirley would be the only princess of Ampura.
Jacqueline played an indispensable role in the safe growth of Scarna and her original self.
Otherwise, given Leopold's carelessness, he would probably have only had one heir.
In this chaotic world, if a king has a son, the throne will naturally pass on to his son.
But if there is no son, the princess can also become the heir.
In the country of Ampura, Scarlett is the first heir, the original body is the second, and Shirley is the third.
If all three of them died, the land would be reclaimed by the Celtic state and perhaps redistributed to another noble after a few years.
Or, it may be occupied by other countries and become their territory.
After all, this place is very far away from the Celtic Kingdom, and if something happens, it will take a while for the news to spread.
In fact, for the Celtic Kingdom, as long as taxes can be collected on time, it doesn’t matter who is the owner of this land.
Some days ago, it was the birthday of King Kangman of the country west of Ampura. Leopold sent someone to deliver a gift as a gesture of friendship. However, when the gift arrived, it was found to be damaged after it was opened.
King Conman was furious, thinking that Leopold was deliberately neglecting him, so he led his troops to attack the Kingdom of Ampura.
This caught Leopold off guard, and in desperation, he hurriedly led his troops to resist.
Three days ago, news of the battle came from the front line that the Commonwealth was coming with great force and Leopold was unable to defeat them.
Scarlett was very anxious, so she sent a letter for help to her aunt who was the queen of the neighboring country of Serbia.
King Serri is an earl with a large fiefdom and a military force several times that of Ampura. If they are willing to take action, Ampura will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety.
The original body's cousin, Terrence Ellis, has always been in love with the original body and sends gifts to the original body every now and then.
The original body had no interest in his cousin who looked like a gorilla, and just kept him as a spare tire.
Because of the war between Ampula and Kangman, Serli asked the original body to marry Terence in exchange for Serli's dispatch of troops.
The original body perfectly inherited her mother's beauty, even surpassing her.
Legend has it that the first king of the Celts was a Lamich, who had black hair and black eyes.
After hundreds of years of inheritance, the black gene bloodline has been diluted, and it often takes several generations for a member with black eyes and hair to appear in the royal family.
In this continent, black eyes and black hair symbolize noble bloodline and are very popular.
It is said that the original body's mother's ancestors were of royal blood, but after several changes, they ended up in this place.
Therefore, the original body's black hair and black eyes are very rare.
In this era where face is more important than anything else, it would be a very honorable thing if the next queen of Seli had black hair and black eyes.
The original body knew her own advantages, so before the war broke out, she had persuaded Leopold, who loved her, to accompany her to the capital to attend the triennial royal ball the following year.
After all, marrying a lord is nothing compared to marrying the crown prince!
