Proof of the Sun King

Inside the palace, the banquet continued. Emperor Karl Franz, Duke Griffin Ivan, and Emmanuel, Countess of the Empire, sat together and chatted about the emperor's proposal.

Emilia shook the Aiweiling red wine in the glass. This fine red wine produced in Aiweiling, a big agricultural province, is called Kande, and it is still the top "aged classical Conti", but for Emilia , this kind of drink is really not unusual. The imperial duchess kept her ladylike posture and chatted with the emperor and Ryan's godfather. Emilia's face was less cold and impatient, she just habitually The custom in the court of Noor was brought to the banquet of the palace.

From a certain point of view, Emilia did nothing wrong. As she said, if she smiled and greeted people all day, it was easy to be considered a target of bullying, especially for a woman.

It's different for men. If Ryan greets people with a smile all day long, it means that someone is going to be unlucky.

"How is it, what is my proposal?" Emperor Karl Franz kept his cheerful standard smile: "Emmanori, consider it?"

"It's really a speech like the opening lightning strike." Emilia squinted at the emperor of the empire, not only did not have a trace of respect in her tone, but also carried deep contempt: "My Majesty, you don't care about your Rick. Leader, why is it on my head? This is not a time of war, nor is it in the Imperial Council, I have no obligation to obey your orders, not at all."

"Don't have such a bad attitude, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he did not order you, but just asked you to consider this proposal." Ivan the Duke of Griffin spread his hands and said to help: "We have never forced you to do anything."

"It's like Carl can't order you?" Emilia said angrily, and the Imperial Countess obviously didn't even give face to Ryan's godfather: "Your Excellency Ivan, or are you willing to tell me, this time our emperor Your Majesty asked you to take action, and what conditions did you offer?"

The bitter irony of this remark made Karl Franz and Ivan Ferdinand a little embarrassed. Emperor Karl coughed a few times and could only whisper: "Emmanori? It's inappropriate to talk about this now. Well, about my proposal, can you give me an answer?"

Emilia's thin eyebrows furrowed.

Just now, Emperor Karl Franz made a proposal to replace the territory.

This replacement territory is not the replacement of Karl Franz's Rick collar and Emilia's Wesson collar, because it is not necessary and cannot be replaced. Karl Franz's proposal is that Emilia's Wesson collar, and Ryan's Duchy of Musillon replaced a territory to strengthen the friendly relationship between the two sides, while deepening the alliance between the two sides, including Ryan and Emilia's, including Brittany and the Empire.

It is not uncommon to replace territories. The most famous is the famous city fortress Kronborg between Rickland and Midenland. This city has changed ownership back and forth between Rickland and Middenland. A compromise was reached, Kronborg belonged to Midden, and Kronborg's nobles were allowed to pledge their allegiance to Emperor Karl-Franz.

And now, what Karl Franz means is that Ryan can replace the same territory with the Imperial Duchess as the Duke of Musillon. In this way, the alliance will be stronger, and it can also promote cultural exchanges between the two sides and consolidate the alliance between the two sides. It is also convenient for the command of the coalition army when it is assembled, and there is no need for so many excuses to send reinforcements.

Emilia was a little annoyed instinctively, because the emperor's idea was obviously to strengthen the relationship with Ryan through himself. As we all know, it is the easiest way to get in touch with Ryan and take the lady's route.

If Surya and Morgiana are the two ropes that tie Ryan to the fairy of the lake and Britannia, then Emilia is an important link between the Empire and Ryan to maintain a strong alliance.

The little maid didn't like this. She always felt that the relationship between her and Ryan was a pure relationship that started from Marienburg. The communication between the two people was very pure at first, but now it has become the interaction between them that directly affects the interests of the country. and diplomatic relations.

But thinking about it carefully, Emilia's political wisdom and bright mind immediately realized that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, the idea was a good one, and it was suitable for her, and she had no reason not to accept it, after years of Through experience, Emilia has long understood that personal likes and dislikes are one thing, and overall interests are another.

"My Majesty, you stay in the palace every day instead of thinking about various issues for our great empire, but concentrate on helping me and my people think about replacing territories? Then I really want to thank you!" Emilia Still not letting go of the emperor, she said sarcastically, "It is a blessing for the empire to have an emperor who works so hard for the people of the empire!"

"Then what should I be thinking?" The emperor knew Emilia, and since she spoke like this, it showed that she had already moved, so Karl Franz made a humorous joke: "As the emperor of the empire, there are only seven days a week. , Am I going to be furious one, three, five, cry two, four or six, and then think about how to hang that **** businessman in Marienburg on Sunday?"

"Pfft!" Emilia was made fun of by the emperor's black humor, the Imperial Countess covered her mouth with her hand and couldn't help laughing: "Karl, you usually make Helena happy at home like this. Is it?"

"Not often, you know, Emilia, I'm not as articulate as Ryan." The emperor shrugged humorously, and he set his eyes on Ryan, who was talking to Boris, Vamir and others in the distance: "He Very feminine, am I right?"

"You are very good too, Carl." Emilia was a little resentful about this matter. After all, she didn't get a marriage, and the Imperial Countess said casually: "But you are too weak, Carl, I think, if you don't use God Hammer Gael Malaz, without wearing the silver seal plate armor blessed by all the gods of the old world, can you be Ryan's opponent?"

"Hum ha ha ha ha!" Ivan and Karl Franz laughed almost at the same time, the emperor shook his head helplessly: "Don't compare me to Ryan, let me tell you that, Emmanuel, even if I take it Wearing Gael Malaz, wearing a silver seal, it is impossible to defeat Ryan, at most, he can only rely on the power bonus of the divine hammer and the protection of the silver seal to entangle with him for a period of time."

"So you don't blame Ryan's women." Emilia stretched out a small hand wrapped in a long black and red lace satin glove, put her fingers together, and lifted it up: "This kind of high-quality man will always be liked by women. "

"Hahahaha!" Karl Franz raised his glass: "Then, let's toast for Ryan's womanhood and his son, my godson, Frederick Jr.!"

"cheers!"

On the other side, sure enough, Ryan and Boris and Wamir started to speculate while chatting, listening to the wretched laughter of the three men, obviously, they were talking about topics of color, which is not surprising, because the men gathered together This kind of topic is inevitable, and when we talk about this, the previous contradictions and some small unpleasantness are quickly forgotten, and after a few glasses of wine, the topic of color begins to heat up, Ryan and Wamir choose The emperors debated the sacred and philosophical question of whether pantyhose or garter is better, and reached a lot of consensus on the basis of their differences.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the dinner time is over, but the night has just begun. There are many entertainment activities in the palace, but the most popular is undoubtedly the tabletop war game. The great nobles of the empire have a lot of this kind of fun in their homes. The little chessmen, they can't wait to have a fight on the table, in addition, some big nobles and noble ladies go to the concert hall more and listen to the performers playing and playing around the piano and harp. Sing, or gather around to play cards.

Ryan was just watching everyone play. He wasn't particularly interested in this kind of tabletop war game, and he was also ashamed of the expensive and delicate chessmen, such as Boris Thor, who had the richest collection of chessmen. Debringer, his box of well-preserved chess pieces is said to sell for thousands of gold marks on the black market, and it is in short supply.

"Lane, don't you play?" Emperor Karl Franz was obviously a great player in this kind of war chess game. He not only kept a full set of chess pieces, but also kept his own emperor's chess pieces on a griffin. At the back of the army, the majestic demeanor of the death claw and the emperor himself has been well restored, and even the divine hammer Gail-Maraz in the hands of the chess piece is carefully carved out of metal.

"Don't play, I need a little space for myself, Carl." Ryan shrugged, and he set his eyes on Emilia who was holding his arm: "Okay, it's us."

"If you really need a little space of your own, you don't have to stay here, there are many rooms upstairs." Elector Wamir quipped.

The humour of Elector Wolfen and Grand Duke of Osterland drew laughter.

Ryan didn't refute either. He smiled awkwardly, neither agreeing immediately nor expressly rejecting it, which made him feel guilty and made everyone feel that Emilia was taking the initiative in this relationship.

But only the little maid knew of Ryan's plan. As the god-chosen champion of the fairy in the lake and the Holy Grail Knight Commander, Ryan has always been a "perfect man". This kind of man who has no shortcomings, is very charming and has super strength is easy to be circled. Others of the same **** involuntarily and instinctively reject and hostile.

This is not what Lane came to the Empire for.

However, after Ryan showed this "intimidation" attribute and incompetence in the tabletop war chess game, he quickly changed from a perfect person to the object of ridicule. When everyone made fun of him, Ryan naturally It feels close.

Everything is a disguise of this man, Ryan is really... Maybe it is this kind of man that makes me fall in love with him willingly, Emilia thought while holding Ryan's arm, she simply went on: "In that case, will you play with me?"

"Uh... I'm not very good at it." Ryan cooperated as expected.

"No, I'll teach you!" Emilia finally threw out her own conspiracy: "Come on, let's have a game, you can borrow chess pieces from your godfather, I think Duke Ivan will not be stingy. right?"

"Okay." Duke Griffin Ivan nodded with a wry smile.

So, in front of everyone's eyes, Ryan and Emilia had a tabletop battle chess duel.

Similarly, under the watchful eyes of the public, Ryan lost to Emilia without any suspense. Although he did not lose too much, Emilia never gave Ryan any chance to come back. The little maid seemed to be very interested in defeating Ryan. Feeling particularly excited, she put away her pawns and said to Ryan with a smile: "I won, Ryan."

"Yes, you won, Emilia." Ryan nodded with a smile, he didn't care much about the outcome.

"Okay, now your heart and kidneys belong to me." The little maid stretched out her hands towards Ryan: "Come on, dig out your heart and kidneys and give them to me, those are my spoils."

"Hahahaha!" The imperial nobles in the entire room laughed in unison, and the performance between this pair of men and women was as interesting as a drama.

"What kind of prize is this..." Ryan also smiled happily, he said with a smile: "You beat me, very good, I will give you a title on this tabletop war chess game, it's called 'tossgirl'. "

"tossgirl? Swing girl?" Emilia didn't understand, she thought for a while, and felt that she couldn't suffer like this: "Then you can call tossboy!"

"Okay, I'll be called tossboy by my nickname on the tabletop chess game from now on." Ryan nodded again and again. He rarely admits defeat so simply, but if he loses, he loses, and there's nothing hard to admit.

At this time, the great nobles of the empire, including Karl Franz himself, had a strange feeling. They always felt that Ryan was the winner.

Feels like being fed a mouthful of dog food.

The emperor smiled and applauded, thinking to himself, maybe this is losing the game and winning the life.

What no one knows is that Ryan and Emilia's performance at this banquet and this tabletop game was witnessed and adapted into bard poetry by the royal court poets of Brunswick, which became the An enduring classic, the love between them has touched generations after generations.

The famous poem, titled "The Wind Rises," sang the love of the knight-king "unifier" Ryan and Countess Emmanuelle ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and became a household classic in the Old World, due to This song is very difficult to sing, and it has become an important criterion for the singing level of the bard.

…………I am the real Gonghuo Erwuzi dividing line…………

After the palace banquet that day, another large-scale massacre occurred in the wealthy area of ​​Brunswick. The von Lack family suffered a terrible tragedy. The head of the family, Werner von Lack, and several family members and more than a dozen The guard was killed in one blow, and several other noble children died in this small manor. Also, the murderer stayed in the manor for several hours before leaving. The same person commits the crime.

The two consecutive massacres shocked the entire Brunswick. All of a sudden, all kinds of gossip spread in the capital. The nobles greatly strengthened their guards, and everyone was very concerned about the capital's security.

Some people say that the demon of chaos has infiltrated Brunswick and is ready to kill, some people say that this is the emperor to exclude dissidents and take the opportunity to suppress those nobles who have no military merit, and some people say that all this is the great alchemist Geert or flames. The conspiracy of the supreme dean of the academy, Gehrman, the two candidates must have no certainty, so they want to try to postpone the game.

Karl Franz responded immediately. First of all, the capital of the empire entered a state of martial law, with a large number of troops patrolling, and at the same time, the curfew was strengthened. Even nobles could not be active at night without a permit.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor also announced that the match of the imperial royal chief great wizard will not be postponed for any reason.

And just like that, a week passed by in a rush.

The game went on as scheduled.

Geert and Gehrman will decide the winner for the position of the most powerful magical leader of the human kingdom in the old world!
