In the feudal era, there were inherent irreconcilable contradictions between the imperial power, which represented centralized power, and the local forces, which represented the aristocracy. The political struggle between them was more cruel and brutal than the invasion of enemy countries, orcs, or even demons.
bloody.
As the first heir to the imperial power of the Ruman Empire and a representative of the hardliners, if the Grand Duke Julius concedes under the huge political pressure caused by the alliance between the emperor and the prime minister and agrees to hand over his daughter, he will be in conflict with the empire.
The five-hundred-year-old feud and the marriage of the Almohad Empire. The result will be devastating.
In the future, the Almohad Empire's most famous generals, Amor and Haddou, will once again raise an army and invade the empire. As a hard-line military leader, the Grand Duke will attack his son-in-law's army at that time. Is it a fight?
Should we fight with or collude with these invaders?
You must know that that general is a genius. Twelve years ago, he had raised 50,000 troops, and he had already burned every inch of land in the southern part of the empire. The empire's 170,000-strong crusade army was defeated and fled repeatedly.
.
This kind of super thug, with a double red stick, is too much for the empire to hide from, so you have to proactively provoke him like a mouse twirling a cat's beard. Put the scent of yourself into his mouth?
Please~! Although the nobles eat all day long and are as stupid as pigs, their brains are not so stupid that they despise their longevity.
As a result, the Grand Duke's status as the leader of the hawkish alliance will be shaken, and the various families and political forces in the hard-line faction will fall apart.
This is something that many far-sighted imperial nobles and backbone elements have to resolutely resist.
This is also the reason why Catherine escaped. It is also the reason why she was able to escape from the fiefdom of Constantinople, which is thousands of miles away, to Maple Leaf Danlin College and get shelter. Because many local nobles also belong to their faction.
A lot of help is provided in the dark.
Archmage Lester was one of them. When he was a guest somewhere, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately set off and ran to help. But it should be noted that they could only provide help in secret.
Because this is an empire after all. Although everyone can't help but scold the damn prime minister behind his back for slandering the king and harming the country. But on the surface, they have to obey.
As for why Cardinal Russell, who was the prime minister of the empire and was always known for his viciousness and cunning, suddenly seemed to go crazy and did such a thing.
The reason for this incident was that after the emperor, who was always in weak health, had a private meeting with a certain mistress, the beautiful lady gave birth to a healthy illegitimate son for his majesty.
And it is obvious that His Majesty the Emperor loves his illegitimate son more than his brothers. He wants to pass the throne to his son, but the illegitimate son is an illegitimate son after all. If he wants to pass the throne to his illegitimate son, he must use the Grand Duke as a stumbling block.
Move it away.
So I just played with power, that's all.
As for the quality of the country and the safety of the people? Doesn’t this country belong to me? If I take some things from my house, throw them into the water and listen to the noise, do I still need the consent of you untouchables?
The above was not all what Catherine told Lorraine. Instead, he deduced it from the disorganized information he learned through his conversation with Catherine and combined with the knowledge of five thousand years of civilization in his mind.
This made Uncle Lorraine very sad. Although the causes of many events in history are very ridiculous, there are indeed not many that are so ridiculous.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that no matter what time, this illegitimate child is always the most noble existence~!"
Catherine raised her slender eyebrows and looked at him angrily. After thinking about it for a moment, she couldn't help laughing anymore and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.
At this time, Leo heard the sound of someone coming on the road in the distance.
He hurriedly pulled the corner of Catherine's clothes and said: "Sister, someone is coming. This time it's your turn to go out and rob."
Catherine snorted coldly, raised her hand to give him a violent shudder, and said: "Shut up. For such a small matter as robbery, of course you still have to do it~!"
Leo covered his head with his hands, looked at her angrily, and shouted loudly: "Why? Why am I going again? We agreed yesterday that the two of us would be the boss one day at a time. It's my turn to be the boss today.
"
Catherine looked up at the sky and sneered while saying: "That's true in theory, but I'm sorry. I launched a palace coup and led people to oust you. So I am still in charge today."
Leo stamped his foot angrily and said: "You...you..."
Catherine raised her hand and threatened: "I...I...what am I? Go quickly, or I won't be able to eat your good fruit~!"
Leo was so angry that his hair stood on end.
He stamped his feet and shouted: "I...I...I want to run away from home, I want to be a bad boy. Join the underworld, and then...then grab girls' pigtails and rob other people's sticks."
Tang, in the end... was arrested by the government and locked up in a small dark room, all alone..."
When Lorraine heard this, she couldn't help but rubbed her forehead feebly and sighed. She thought to herself: Grabbing girls' pigtails and grabbing lollipops, what kind of underworld is this? It's too classy.
But Catherine seemed to have heard this kind of threats for a long time, and was unmoved. She gave him a slap with her hand and said briskly: "Don't say anything dirty about joining the underworld~! And I remind you,
You have already run away from home~! Oh hehehe..."
Lorraine immediately felt a headache. Who are these people? Participating in the underworld is despicable, so if you go undercover, you can just grab girls' pigtails, grab lollipops, etc. You can just do it.
Leo covered his head, his eyes were red with anger, and he was almost going crazy. He puffed out his pink cheeks and looked at Catherine angrily.
Catherine put her hands on her hips and lectured: "What are you looking at? If you have the ability, go and earn some money. Growing up is always a waste of food. You are in the way, and I didn't ask you to follow me."
Leo's arrogance immediately disappeared and he muttered in a low voice: "But...but the old man is not here, and I am the only man in the family. I have to take good care of you~!"
Catherine suffocated, and a warm current surged in her heart. She said, "Since you want to take good care of me, who should do these jobs?"
Leo was stunned for a moment and was speechless.
He stamped his foot and said: "Forget it, I can't defeat you anyway, I always get deceived by you~!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away. As he walked, he kept mumbling something.
Lorraine watched from the side and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Miss, is this appropriate?"
Catherine looked at Leo's back and said, "What do you know? My mother has told me since I was a child.
Boys must be raised poor, otherwise they will lose the spirit of hard work. Girls must be raised rich, otherwise they will be cheated by a lollipop.
Therefore, it is my duty as the eldest sister to bully Leo, educate him with bloody facts, and let him experience the cruel truth of this world of the jungle and the strong. Oh, hehehe..."
After saying that, he held up his orchid fingers with his left hand, covered them in front of his red lips as red as pomegranates, and laughed wildly.
Hearing her classic queen's laughter, it was like the snow-cold wind blowing from the far north. Everyone present involuntarily shuddered. The guards who had experienced hundreds of battles and were not afraid of death also seemed to
Seeing something terrible, he turned his head to the side.
Lorraine was also in a cold sweat. He thought for a while and said hurriedly: "Since I took over this business, I must fulfill my responsibility. I'd better go take a look and help Leo."
After saying that, he stood up from the ground, turned around, and chased the little boy in the direction he left.
Seeing this, several warriors with smart minds also woke up. They ignored the sad eyes of their companions and hurriedly followed.
Lorraine came out of the temporary campsite, walked a few steps, and chased after the little boy with pink makeup.
Just listen to the little boy whipping the grass around him hard and saying angrily: "You bitch, when the old man dies, I will be the head of the family. Then you see if I won't marry you to a barbarian. Let's do that."
You drink a bottle of vinegar first with every meal..."
Lorraine was instantly stunned.
It seems that this little guy has become quite different under the effective guidance of that girl. His heart has become so bad at a young age. In comparison, although he was quite bad at the beginning, he is not as good as him.
In comparison, he is also a pure child.
At this time, they had reached the main road. Several carriages loaded with goods on the opposite side came out from behind a hill not far away.
Seeing this, Leo forgot his anger, cheered, and shouted loudly: "Robbery~! Uh...that's not right."
