Proof of the Sun King

"Is it Marienburg?" Duke Griffin read the letter and returned to the emperor's hand: "My Majesty, what do you think?"

"Fort Marienburg is the territory of the Empire, this is the most basic...!" Karl Franz signaled that the two of them could return: "I think we must recognize the fact that Fort Marienburg is the territory of the Empire, but Not a subject of the Empire."

"However, the wealth of these subjects far exceeds that of the master." Duke Griffin's tone was serious, and his blue eyes were full of wisdom: "My sire, I think we will undoubtedly send troops in this battle, but we may This is an opportunity to take back some of Marienburg's sovereignty...or at least get enough gold to spit out from these business princes."

"I think so too... My duke, there is plenty of time, let's have a good talk." Griffin Death Claw swept through the forest and landed in front of the two of them. The emperor rode away, and the Duke of Griffin whistled. The huge gryphon, which is not inferior to the claw of death, roared from the Griffin cliff, and this is the mount of the Duke of Griffin - the disaster of the beast.

The emperor and the duke rode Griffin across the sky at a very fast speed and came to Griffin Castle.

The top of the mountain cliff with a height of hundreds of meters has golden 'colored' angel statues and griffin statues flying. Built upon this sacred mountain, it embraces the Duchy of Griffin.

The Griffin Castle is divided into five floors, each floor has its own wall and entrance, the road to the top fortress winds and twists around the mountain, and all kinds of defense equipment are densely distributed in every section of the city wall of this giant castle. , many griffins fly happily in circles around the castle.

The land of the Griffin Duchy is very 'fertile', with many fields and orchards. Each 'private' farm has fences, barns, and kilns, and many ditches flow down the mountains, crossing this green land and entering the Rick River, which is also a typical landform symbol of the emperor's direct leadership—— The Rikland, which was directly ruled by the emperor himself, was an extremely rich plain, with a mild climate, fertile soil and a large population.

Back at the duke's mansion at the top of the castle, the duke opened the secret room. This secret room is specially used to discuss confidential matters. There is only one entrance to the entire room, and the remaining three directions are all cliffs. Entering the room, the warm The fire has been lit, and the servants have already arranged various 'colors' of melon, fruit, food and red wine in the room. Seeing the emperor and the duke enter, the servants saluted and pulled the heavy 'door' before exiting.

Karl Franz sat in the main seat. He threw the letter on the table and smiled wryly at Ivan: "Okay, my duke, let's discuss what to do."

"Just call me Ivan, Your Majesty." Ivan Ferdinand sat on the long sofa on the left side of the emperor. Duke Griffin already knew what the emperor meant.

Sending troops to support Marienburg was a 'fat' trip, no doubt about that.

The war with the Greenskins could not get too many captures, but Marienburg is rich, and this wealthy old world's largest port city can be said to be very rich. Only gold and silver can satisfy the appetite of the empire, so the biggest beneficiary will be the coach who leads the reinforcements.

Sure enough, just as Ivan expected, the emperor said: "Ivan, this war let the griffins go for a ride and breathe some fresh air."

"My Majesty, don't you lead the army yourself?" Duke Griffin's expression was calm, and he didn't look surprised at all.

"I have other things to do. This time the reinforcements are 'handed over' to you." Karl Franz ordered calmly: "Then tell me, Ivan, how are you going to fight this war?"

"We are facing many difficulties. My Majesty, the rebellions in many places have just been pacified, and the new territories that have just been pacified need enough troops to maintain law and order." Ivan raised the wine glass: "Next is the 'spring' ploughing. Season, the army we can recruit may imagine a lot less, a big waaagh! Need enough army to deal with."

"I will deploy some more great swordsmen and musketeers for you, but you still need to recruit enough troops, and the military expenses will be fully borne by the Marienburg side, don't worry about this." Karl Franz from Ivan - Ferdinand took the wine glass in his hand, and the emperor shook his head: "The Griffin Knights should not be moved lightly. You can bring up to three companies of knights this time."

"Well, the expected army will be less, and... Marienburg told us that we cannot defend the city and must fight in the field." Duke Griffin took a full sip of red wine: "For field warfare, we need enough knights."

"The Knights of the Sun are heading to Brescia in the south to help clear up the Beastmen. Rick's guards need to rest. The number of knights is not enough. It is very difficult for us to defeat the green army in the wild." Ivan frowned, of course he knew this. The war is a 'fat', but the shortage of troops is also a problem. Due to a series of things such as 'spring' ploughing, it may be difficult for him to recruit enough soldiers. The standing armies in various places have just suppressed rebellions in many territories. Not easy to move.

Rick guards an army of the empire, which is more like the 'private' army of Karl Franz and his family. If the emperor himself does not move, the Rick guards will not be dispatched either. The Griffin Knights are the most important of the country. The weapon cannot be easily shown, so Duke Griffin has to face the situation of lack of troops.

"Can I call for reinforcements? My lord? I need enough knights."

"Who will you turn to for reinforcements?" Karl Franz agreed with Duke Ivan's point of view, but the emperor imposed restrictions: "It is best not to let other electors 'intervene' in Marienburg's affairs."

"On the opposite side of the gray mountains, doesn't the empire still have our knight allies?" Duke Griffin's eyes flashed with wisdom: "The knights don't need 'spring' ploughing, and they won't pay attention to Marienburg. Have ideas, as long as a sum of gold can send them."

"Very good." The emperor nodded: "Then let's start."

…………

In the afternoon of late February, 53 Amber Avenue, Marienburg, the home of Ryan Macado.

During the recent period of time, the security in Marienburg has been a bit 'chaotic' and 'chaotic'. I don't know who has spread the news that the green army is gathering It had to be suppressed many times, and then promised that the greenskin army could not come here, and the imperial reinforcements arrived soon, which was barely able to suppress the 'chaotic' and 'chaos' people's hearts.

However, none of this will affect the tranquility of Amber Avenue, because if there is a 'chaos' and 'chaos' in Marienburg, then it is not far from being completely over.

In the study room on the second floor, Ryan was sitting behind his desk reading a book. The weather outside was not good today, so he just stayed at home to rest.

"Dong dong dong~" The 'door' of the study was knocked, and Ryan raised his head: "Please come in!"

The little 'maids' Emilia and Miranda came in with refreshments and juices, both 'girls' dressed in black and white 'maid' clothes, white 'colour' stockings and deerskin miniatures Short boots, white turban with long hair, Emilia said first: "Mr. Ryan, afternoon tea is here."

After a period of time together, Emilia has become accustomed to calling Ryan's name.

"Master." Miranda doesn't have this kind of treatment anymore, she has to call her master.

"Oh! You guys are here, put the things over there, Emilia, please keep it." Ryan stood up and motioned to put the plate on the table in front of the study for the guests, not near the desk and books.

"Yes!" The two little 'maids' should be, Emilia stayed, Miranda looked at Emilia with great envy, the little 'maid' was actually 'very' about her appearance Self-confidence, the auction's starting price of one hundred gold marks also shows this, but in terms of Emilia's appearance and temperament, I am still more than a step behind. Emilia is like a clear spring in the mountains, sweet and sweet. Yeh, many times Miranda wonders how exactly did Emilia become Ryan's 'maid'?

Since coming to this home, without imagined torture and abuse, without the imagined fate of being used as a reproductive tool, Miranda found that she was really just being a 'maid', and not only that, she enjoyed here. The food was even better when she was a young lady at home. As the head of the family, Ryan was strong, handsome, tall, soft-spoken and knowledgeable. Miranda even thought that it would be good if he really regarded himself as a fertility machine. .

No, the little 'maid' found that the human hero never intended to do anything to her, except for sometimes looking at her 'legs' in white 'color' stockings, not even a hint.

The dark 'elf' was so beautiful, and he never saw what Ryan did to her. In the evening, Miranda often rested with her in a servant's room. Only Emilia could make him look at him differently.

With envy and longing, and a little bit of unwillingness, Miranda carefully exited the study.

Only Ryan and Emilia were left in the room.

"Amelia, there's been a lot of wind outside recently, don't worry about it, the reinforcements from the empire will arrive soon." Ryan motioned for his little 'maid' to come over.

Emilia raised the maid's long dress and sat beside Ryan, her sweet little face was a little worried: "But...Mr. Ryan is going to fight again?"

Ryan said with a smile: "How can the knights not fight, look at it, there are still many days before the arrival of the green army."

"Well, listen to Mr. Ryan." The little maid blushed and didn't want to say more. She sat beside Ryan and enjoyed afternoon tea together, but there was still some worry in her expression. .

"Is everything safe at home during this time?" While tasting the 'exquisite' cakes made by the 'girl', Ryan asked the question of his concern.

"Actually... nothing major happened, but there are two things I think it is necessary to let Mr. Ryan know." Emilia thought for a while: "The first thing is about Miranda. She saw that Mr. Ryan liked it. I secretly shortened the skirt, and I taught him a lesson, saying that the length of the skirt was designed by Mr. Lane."

"Hahahahaha!" Ryan laughed: "I think this is actually quite appropriate, especially when there are outsiders."

With outsiders? Emilia suddenly realized that Ryan had something to say, and sure enough, Ryan thought secretly: he also made the short one, but the one is not suitable for normal wear. If there is a chance, you can let Emilia try it on in private. Try it and see how it works on her.

Seeing that Ryan didn't respond for a long time, Emilia lowered her head and whispered, "There's a second thing, Mr. Ryan."

"Well, you said." Ryan knew that he was almost thinking about it. This 'girl' was very shy about some things, and looked very weak in front of him.

"That...dark 'elf', who almost never speaks, but...according to Miranda, she often said strange sleep talk when she was dreaming at night, and then woke up suddenly, Miranda said she seemed to be in pain. ' Emilia went on to say the second thing.

"Waking up from a dream? Weird sleep talk?" Now Ryan noticed the incident: "Did Miranda tell you how often? Does this happen every night?"

"Yes, it happens every night, and Miranda complains that she can't take it anymore, so I made her a 'bed' in the corner of the living room for a while and let her sleep alone." Emilia looked very troubled.

Hmm... the captive of the high 'elves'~www.wuxiamtl.com~ was originally a noble, but now his strength is not as good as that of ordinary people. He had nightmares at night. Ryan thought about it for a while, and he understood that the high 'elves' must be in magic through magic. Olika's body moved, either depriving her of her potential, or hurt her soul, ensuring that she could only be a slave and do nothing else.

He had better check what happened to Olika.

"Actually, Emilia, I never intended to ask for Orika." Ryan continued, he felt that he had to explain a little to his little 'maid': "It has become like this now, we have a great deal of concern for this darkness. The details of the 'spirit' spirit are completely unclear, it's just a ticking time bomb."

"But... Mr. Lane still accepts it." Who knew Emilia replied weakly: "If you really don't want it, Mr. Lane can refuse it."

The Grey Knight Primarch blushed and was speechless.

"Pfft~" Emilia looked at Ryan's embarrassed look, covered her mouth and smiled secretly. She suddenly felt that this kind of life was very sweet, sweet to the heart.

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

Until a huge griffin cut through the long air, its shy roar followed the clouds and crossed the entire Amber Avenue: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"This voice is! It's the godfather's griffin, the voice of the plague of beasts!" Ryan stood up subconsciously, his face was 'excited', ecstatic, and a little uneasy.

He didn't notice that the expression on Emilia's face had also changed, and a 'mixed' expression of panic and admiration flashed across the face of the little 'maid'.

This state did not last long, and an elegant mature male voice sounded outside the house, but this voice was quite loud.

"Lane! You brat! Get out of here!"

"It's the godfather! It's Duke Griffin here!"
