Chapter 408: The Lonely

The Royal Confidential Bureau is also known as the shadow of the royal family, or the hound in the shadow. Its origins can be traced back to the days of Alstorfo the Great, who established the Kingdom of Gaul/Sealand outside the mountains, and the fourteen original noble families.

;The Wing Group was established to deal with domestic and foreign spying and infiltration.

The first regiment leader was also one of the fourteen original nobles, Deugosh, a Magyar from Samatia; he was also the light cavalry/hunting commander of the new kingdom. He dealt with enemies and potential threats at home and abroad with cruelty and justice.

A man known for his unscrupulous tactics, but was eventually killed in the Black Forest.

However, after the death of Deugosh, the Wings Regiment he led was continued by the Rose Dynasty and continued to be a sharp blade against domestic rebels and potential rebel forces; until this sharp blade was unexpectedly put on the throne, he was known as the "Sleeping King"

"The lecher" Otto I broke it with his own hands.

The originally designated Otto I, his mother was just a palace maid from a minor noble family. Therefore, as a young son without a strong natal family, he entered the monastery very early and became one of the royal family's high-level layout in the church. As a result, a plague caused heavy casualties to the royal family members.

Let him suddenly rise to power.

However, the severely depressed life in the monastery distorted his spirit and body; so much so that after he ascended the throne, he did not hesitate to indulge in the sensual enjoyment of men and women; he left the royal capital for many years, spending several days at a time,

It is famous for its ten-day orgy of hunting and feasting.

As a result, not only the ministers far away in the royal court complained about this, but also the many large and small noble territories on his patrol were troubled and burdened. Because in addition to the royal guards and ministers, he also brought a large number of people with him.

A group of personal followers and retinues paraded across the border.

The parasitic groups related to these kings were eaten up like locusts, and the large and small territories passed by the throne parade also caused the nobles who, according to tradition, must provide services to the transiting monarchs, suffered heavy losses and even went bankrupt;

Centrifugalism led to radical changes.

A vassal/retainer of an earl was forced to commit ignominious suicide because he failed to provide a satisfactory diet for the throne; he was also deprived of his fief and title by the lord under pressure. Therefore, the son of the deceased decided to fight to the death and summoned

Many knights who suffered the same situation rose up and revolted.

They dressed up as local monks petitioning, and were caught off guard by the palace guards. They rushed into the temporary palace in Soissons and rushed to Otto I who was holding an unobstructed meeting. However, because of the angry pursuit of their companions,

Kill those courtiers who are full of resentment;

As a result, he missed the best opportunity to assassinate the king and left the son of the leading retainer to the hurriedly arriving palace guards and royal knights. Even though he tried his best to fight, he only had time to use his throwing dagger to kill Otto.

I had a scar on his face and was cut into pieces on the spot.

However, the consequences and impact of this incident were extremely serious. While leading to the Count of Soissons and a large number of nobles waiting on the border of Amiens to be implicated and punished, it also greatly shaken and corrupted the authority of the royal family.

The courageous Otto I became increasingly frantic.

He even ignored the dissuasion of his ministers and expanded the scope of his involvement and liquidation several times; even his blood cousin, the Wing Group, an institution directly controlled by the royal family, was not spared. Just because he

I suspect that the other party is involved in the conspiracy because of the grudges they had when they were young.

So, when this sharp blade hidden in the darkness was broken for such a ridiculous reason, the ears of "Sleeping King" Otto I suddenly became clear, and the turbulent undercurrents in the Rose Dynasty finally converged into

Within the kingdom, there was a big fight among several noble lineages.

In the end, it was the distant branch of the royal family that rose on the border, the Marquis Philot from Cherbourg, who quickly brought down the rebellious nobles and cities along the way. In the end, he won the Battle of Seine involving the seven original nobles, holding the lily high.

The flag entered the royal capital in the face of public expectations.

Then, Marquis Philo ordered to drink the strong wine from the East to death of Otto I, who had rebelled against his relatives. He also married Otto I's only unmarried sister, Lenore, and was consecrated and anointed by the archbishop from Reims.

A new generation of Lily Dynasty lineage was born...

Of course, the new dynasty learned the lessons of Otto I's perverse behavior. On the one hand, it reversed the chaos and formally renewed the alliance and favored those local vassals; on the other hand, it reestablished the Winged Regiment as the king's eyes and ears, and further expanded its authority.

and sphere of influence…

But as the saying goes, everything must be reversed at the extreme. With the continuous expansion of successive generations of kings, the Wings Group under the Lily Dynasty has become a bloated and huge vested interest group that is parasitic on the royal power. It is filled with a large number of noble children, and is accustomed to

Rely on this status to make money.

However, they gradually lost their original basic functions as the king's eyes, ears and minions. Finally, during the reign of Philo VI, an unexpected incident reached the limit of everyone's tolerance. These members of the Wings were regarded as cancer in the capital.

, actually openly kidnapped and hijacked a team that was sending a bride off.

However, when the families of both men and women from noble families reluctantly handed over enough ransom, they only brought back a bride who had been ravaged and went crazy; many accompanying female guests were insulted to varying degrees. This result also caused the king to

The rampage of the metropolitan garrison and knights.

Led by many interested parties, they rushed into the headquarters/residence of the Wings Group, hoping to capture the culprit who was being sheltered. However, the members of the Wings Group also had strong family backgrounds; therefore, conflicts quickly intensified.

It became a fire that spread throughout the city.

When Philo VI heard the news and rushed back with the royal guards, the situation was already out of control. Half of the royal capital was ignited, and at least dozens of families full of hatred fled from the royal capital Seine City; then there was news that they were in the royal capital.

News that the South raised the flag of rebellion and elected the Duke of Valois as leader of the alliance.

And Philo VI was just a relatively mediocre lord of the establishment. He could neither cut through the mess of severely divided ministers in a timely manner, judge the guilt of any party, and decisively win the support of the other party; nor could he form a crusade army.

He was hesitant to pacify the South.

Because the leader of the Wings Regiment who caused the situation and is jointly and severally responsible for it is his closest favorite and half-brother. He was worried that he could not ignore the voices of several powerful noble factions in the royal court, and it was rare to stand together with the same hatred. The result was:

With repeated delays, the situation slipped into the abyss.

In the end, it turned into a chaotic war that lasted for more than 20 years between the royal family factions in the country and the local aristocratic factions; they had to give up the suppression of the royal family branches, and fought against a certain Count of Besançon.

He was famous; in the end, Philo VI died of mental exhaustion.

Vlad III and Philo VII, who succeeded the throne, were too short-lived to see the outcome of this civil war. In the end, with the backbone and direct members of the Lily royal family severely withered, the royal court could only

Able to send the young Compiegne II to the crumbling throne;

Then on the 137th day, an army holding the acacia flag was ushered in. Because the royal faction headed by the Count of Besançon had already defeated the vast majority of the coalition of rebel nobles in the Battle of Bourges on the Central Plateau;

Shengban Shi Wangdu became a well-deserved royal regent.

However, it was not until the third generation of the royal regent family that they completely defeated the last group of rebellious border nobles and reached an armistice agreement with neighboring countries; and the only remaining lily flag at the top of the royal capital was completely replaced by the acacia flag.

However, the Wings Group was also completely banned and banned.

The vast majority of people were labeled as unforgivable, and suffered brutal liquidation and implication, and were swept into the garbage dump of the historical stage. However, as a need for rule, the new royal family/Besançon family also started anew.

The royal judicial knights with similar functions were established.

The main members no longer have public identities, and are known for their low profile and secretive behavior hiding in the dark; thus the name of the Wang family's hound was born. Until the celestial change more than two hundred years ago, that period lasted for several generations.

In the period of human chaos, the rise of the White Iris Dynasty.

Therefore, there are also rumors that the predecessor of the Royal Confidential Bureau of the new dynasty is said to be derived from the royal judicial knights of the old dynasty and some survivors of the changed families; therefore, it also inherited its structure and part of the legacy and inheritance. However, no matter how ferocious it is,

Even the hounds will grow old and decay.

In the era when the King of the Burning Sun and the Lord of Terror co-existed, it was also the most glorious period for the Royal Secret Bureau; their spies and assassins could even be active abroad for a long time through the channels of money and businessmen, and became defectors and enemies.

Organization, the inescapable nightmare.

Then it turned from prosperity to decline, and with the subsequent generations of rulers on the throne, they became more and more unknown. So much so that on the eve of the May storm, under the turbulent public opinion and undercurrent that could shake the royal family, no one could

Provide sufficient warning and advice to the royal family...

"The former chief of the Royal Secret Service, Dean de Beaumont, known as the cross-dressing knight, was once one of the best patrons for those of us on the fringes." The old hunter Ajax recalled to Jiang Tian again.

Said: "Although he is a bit stingy with money, or he likes to worry about details, but most of the time, he is still an honest knight who values ​​credibility and honor, honors his promises, and never breaks his promises."

"It's a pity that since King Burning Sun and King Jiaoyang passed away one after another, and King Gu Gao was assassinated and disappeared in the seventeenth year of his reign, the functions of the Secret Bureau have been deteriorating to the point of paralysis. Even the remuneration of temporary informants has been unable to be paid.

Come out; otherwise, why would the former royal family in the capital have failed to escape several times and leaked information about external contacts, and finally fell into the hands of the mob..."

But in any case, compared to the capital, which had been destroyed in the riots and had been dug up and burned from the inside out, the headquarters and various strongholds of the Royal Confidential Bureau; this place is located in the Southern Crown Territory.

The secret storage space beneath the ruins of the palace may be the last trace of its existence.

Especially among them, many scattered and lost records and items from the disintegrated ancient hunter organizations and various factions have been collected and collected; it is even more complete than what Ajax remembered. This is a bit confusing.

I’m wondering; could it be that the collapse and dispersion of the ancient hunter organization actually had something to do with the royal family’s secret bureau?
