Chapter 232 Return to Nuremberg

The time is getting closer and closer to December 12th, the birthday of Jesus Christ, and the people of the two countries are gradually filled with a festive atmosphere. A large amount of supplies are also transported to Bell Port, where they are transferred by cargo ships to Kuban Island. port.

At the same time, in order to make friends with the surrounding countries, Richard sent envoys to submit invitation letters to the rulers of almost half of the countries on the Vadasia Peninsula, inviting the kings of various countries to go to Cuban Island to participate in the meeting between King Winster and Queen Ravana. wedding.

This undoubtedly caused an uproar. As early as these few months, the story of King Richard of Winster has spread almost throughout the entire Vadasia Peninsula through the footprints of bards, even the Holy Kuyawi Empire at the northernmost tip of the peninsula. They heard it, but they didn't care about it. After all, the countries of the Vardassian Peninsula in the south were not strong, and no matter how good their abilities were, they could not threaten the hegemony of the empire.

In the countries of the peninsula, there are various attitudes towards Richard's strong rise. Some people predicted that Richard would be able to do a lot in the future, and wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Richard. Some people are frightened by the speed of Richard's rise and do not want to make enemies with him. Some of them think that Richard's development should be curbed to prevent a new hegemony from appearing on the peninsula.

With different attitudes, countries responded one after another. They were either invited by the king himself, or replaced by members of the royal family, and more people only sent envoys.

It is worth mentioning that both the Kingdom of Ramirez and the Principality of Lasik, which had been defeated by Richard's iron heel, sent envoys to invite them. The former was sent by the king himself, while the latter was sent by his heir to the throne.

This will be a grand ceremony, and Richard knows this very well. With so many foreign envoys invited at one time, he must put up all his energy and stretch out the strongest fist in the kingdom to show it to them.

As a result, Richard sacrificed his firearms unit again. He temporarily transferred the arquebus and artillery units to Cuban Island, and also let the brand-new Imperial Guard brigade undertake the guarding work of Cuban Island. The kingdom's military power is fully displayed-advanced firearms and elite knight brigades that surpass the technology of this world can complete it.

Not only that, Admiral Sigurd of the Navy will also command his fleet to strictly patrol the waters around Kuban Island to ensure the safety of the guests coming from the sea.After all, if someone gets hurt on the way to the invitation, not only will it trigger a diplomatic confrontation between the two countries, but it will also damage Richard's prestige.

……

On December 1112, 12 in the Continental Calendar, Richard and Queen Stephanie arrived at Cuban Island, where they were warmly welcomed by the local people, especially the residents of Nuremberg. These orthodox Germans dedicated to their great Kaiser Majesty The highest degree of welcome, they gathered on both sides of the Kuban port, dressed in costumes, holding flowers, looking at the young emperor with the most fanatical gaze.

Yes, even though Richard's declared title is only King of the Kingdom of Winster, in the eyes of all Germans, Richard will always be their supreme imperial Caesar.

As Richard and Stephanie stepped off the ship, the Imperial Guard brigade behind them also walked out of the deck with their heads held high, looking at this steel legion dressed in exquisite half-body armor and exuding a chilling aura, all Germans They all cheered loudly, this is their army, the most elite cavalry unit of the Holy Roman Empire!
Feeling the support from the people, Richard felt a little emotional in his heart. Although he hadn't been here for a long time, the people here still supported him so much and supported him desperately.

Not only the residents of Nuremberg welcomed the arrival of Richard and Stephanie, but also the refugees who were settled here by Richard a few years ago. After several years of assimilation, they seem to have nothing to do with a real German The difference, the loyalty to Caesar in his heart is even more unyielding.

Surrounded by the people, Richard and Stephanie returned to Nuremberg. After seven years of development, this city has become a large city with a permanent population of nearly [-]. In this city, there is the world's first big city. The church also has all kinds of perfect infrastructure. The only fly in the ointment is that there is no palace in this city, so Richard can only live in Brandenburg on King's Hill.

……

At night, standing on the Königsberg, Richard looked at Nuremberg at night. Since there is no curfew here, the whole city is still brightly lit at night. The gathering of little sparks together is incomparably wonderful and spectacular. .

"I haven't been back for a long time."

It was Stephanie who was approaching from behind who spoke. She walked up to Richard and stood, looking at the huge city on the Nuremberg Plain, with nostalgia in her tone: "When I left a few years ago, this city was just It’s just a small town, I didn’t expect it to develop to this level in just a few years, it’s really a miracle from God.”

"Yes, the speed of Nuremberg's development is also beyond my expectation. Maybe it is really a city blessed by God." Richard agreed, and then he turned to look at Stephanie, his beautiful fiancee, who was so beautiful. His face was looming in the dark night, but there was light in his eyes.

"Stephanie, do you regret it?" he asked.

"Regret? Why do you regret it?" She was a little puzzled.

Richard didn't answer, but looked at Stephanie's face, and said to himself: "I sometimes think, if the rebellion seven years ago hadn't happened, my father would still be the king of Winster, and I'm just a Will our destiny change, young prince?"

"I don't know." Stephanie shrugged, thought for a while, and said, "If nothing happened, I might have married a nobleman in the kingdom, just like Sophia."

"Like Sophia." Richard nodded, and Sophia's face suddenly appeared in his heart. A few years ago, before her father asked her to marry a nobleman of the kingdom, she had come to ask Richard if she would marry her. She was willing to marry her, but Richard refused. It was also because of Richard's refusal that she completely lost hope. She could only obey her father's arrangement and marry a young nobleman whom she had only met once or twice before.

Thinking of the possibility that Stephanie might be treated like this, his heart ached, and he subconsciously held Stephanie's soft hand.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I don't know if I should thank Zhu Tian. It was he who changed our destiny, but he also caused my family to be ruined, and I was exiled to other countries when I was young." Richard said.

Hearing this, Stephanie laughed lightly and said, "I should thank God, it is God who arranged for our meeting."

As an atheist deeply educated by socialism, of course Richard would not thank the so-called God. Instead of thanking God, he should thank the system. It is with the assistance of the system that he has achieved what he is today and can marry such a Beautiful exotic girl.
