Dungeon King: My Goblins Have Captured Countless Female Players

Margaret teased Anna with a chuckle, "I thought some princess was here. It turns out it’s just Anna."

Anna laughed lightly, replying, "Oh, don’t joke about that. My family is merely of knightly lineage, far from deserving the status of princess."

As Margaret slowly advanced, she said, "But your family is a branch of the esteemed Valuva clan. That’s why your family holds such high prestige."

Anna casually remarked, "That I wouldn’t know. After all, our family only governs over four villages now, hardly a significant military force."

Margaret, with earnestness in her heart, said, "You may lack soldiers, but in crucial times, you could seek assistance from the Valuva family. The Valuva are a formidable family, with the renowned Earl Edward being a part of it."

Anna gave a bitter smile, her expression strained.

"Our family, being a branch derived from the Valuva, can’t really expect to borrow troops from Earl Edward, if you look at it closely. Besides, even if my cousin Edward were willing to lend his forces, he only controls a single earldom. Isn’t his strength similar to that of Lord Howard?"

Margaret tried to persuade Anna, "The relatives of Mibo have only one duke, right? If you could borrow Earl Edward’s soldiers, along with those under Howard, the combined forces of two earldoms might stand a chance against a duke’s army."

Anna felt troubled by the suggestion.

She was willing to support Howard in his times of poverty and distress, by hiring mercenaries and funding his usurpation of titles.

For Anna, that amount of money was insignificant, given the substantial foundation of the Katerina family.
