Proof of the Sun King

ps: This chapter is 4800 words. If the update is postponed, the update will be increased. The emperor is so kind!

Richard's abdication is not unexpected. The knight king was already old. After John II was deposed, the dukes' choice of Richard as the king was inherently excessive. Richard's character was inclined to maintain stability. , which powerfully reunited the kingdom after the dethronement of John II, a contribution he must be acknowledged for.

However, after that, Richard's series of ways of handling things was criticized. He blindly kept the mud and maintained stability, and never expressed his position easily, which caused dissatisfaction among many great nobles in the kingdom, and the failure of Ryan's suppression was even more so. Put Richard's position in jeopardy.

More importantly, the king lost the support of the fairies in the lake, which was fatal to the king of Brittany. The kingdom of knights started from the founding knight king Arthur. Once each generation of knight kings lost the support of the fairies in the lake, The end result is to be deposed, and Morgiana's Holy Grail Knights can rush into the palace at any time and pull the king from the throne.

After Eulers died in battle because of Richard's order, Richard has actually lost the prestige he should have as a king, and he did so, since Euless's death, Richard has more The general power of the land was handed over to Lawen-Leo Cornwall, Duke of Connet, and he began to prepare for his abdication.

Ryan thought of this, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the king. Eulers' death in battle was not what Richard wanted, and even Eulers' battle was an oracle of the fairies in the lake. It can only be said that Aegir is indeed too strong.

However, the king is still responsible for this. He issued the order, and he must be responsible for it. After listening to François, Richard hesitated for a long time before signing the king's decree. He did not evade the king's responsibility.

The most difficult thing in this world is to be responsible. The responsibility of the king is so heavy. People can only see the king's noble status and glorious identity, but never think about what the people on the throne need to pay.

"It's not so surprising that it will be passed on to the Duke of Lawn. I heard that Richard's favorite successor is Lawn, followed by his grandson Earl William, anyway... It won't be his son Charles." Lane thought for a moment. After that, he was a little tangled in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to be calm and smiled: "How can there be a seventy-year-old prince in the world?"

"Marquis Charles?" François sneered, "He doesn't meet the conditions, first of all, he is not a Holy Grail Knight or a Paladin, and I don't think His Royal Highness Morgiana will allow it. To Earl William."

Everyone nodded.

Brittany is different from the empire. In the empire, whether or not to become the emperor of the empire is voted by fifteen holders of the imperial right to vote, and the emperor of the empire is elected among several candidates for the throne.

The electoral system makes the emperor destined to be elected only by those few candidates for the throne.

The kingdom of knights is different. In the history of the kingdom of knights, the throne of knights has never been fixed in a certain family or a certain duchy. It always flows between the dukes of the kingdom. From this point of view, Brittany Among the upper nobles of Asia, the great mobility of the Holy Grail system is not found in the Empire, and this is exactly what Ryan is looking for.

Specifically, in order to become a knight king, four conditions are required.

First, the knight must be a Holy Grail Knight or a Paladin.

Second, the knight must hold the title of duke.

Third, this knight must be a child of the twelve first-generation Holy Grail Knight families or vassal families who founded the country.

Fourth, the coronation of the king of knights must be approved by the witch of the lake god.

In addition to the second, Ryan knew that he had already met the other three, and what he lacked now was the title of duke.

Francois saw Lane's thoughts, Duke Winford said with a smile, " Lane, what's the matter? I can't give you the title of duke. You want the title of duke. You know what to do."

Ryan nodded understandingly. François knew that Ryan wanted to be the king. His father-in-law did not object to Ryan being king, but he couldn't give up his duke title either. This was the bottom line.

Regarding this matter, Ryan knew that the person he could negotiate with was not Francois, not Suria, but the witch of the lake **** who held the highest power in the country in the tower on the other side of the castle, and the one who quietly hid behind , the goddess who observes all situations.

He became more and more remorseful.

…………

After several days of fast marching, Lane and the others finally returned to the Earl of Glamorgan.

Say goodbye to Francois, Julius, Gerald and others for the time being. Of course, when Ryan arrived in Jean Town, it was already mid-January and late-late.

It was a rare sunny winter day. The sky was clear and cloudless. The bright sun was pouring down from the sky one after another. The thick stone-covered roads of the Earl of Glamorgan were covered with snow, and many villagers Snowflakes are being swept away, even in winter, there are still many carriages and crowds moving in the prosperous territory. Everyone is wearing thick animal skin cloaks and linen clothes, and a thin layer of snow covers the Sharon Forest and the forest. Farmland and land within the earldom.

Quiet and peaceful, everyone is waiting for the passing of winter and the arrival of spring. Many serfs are eager to harvest winter wheat and sow the seeds of hope. They have gradually gotten rid of hunger, and the serfs who have ensured food and clothing are eager to get more.

In the distance, the town of Jean is being expanded for an unknown number of times. Many slack serfs are working under the command of sergeants in exchange for wages. The serfs are in high spirits, because the more they do, the better they do the fastest. There is also broth to drink.

During the Winter Veil Festival this year, many serfs enjoyed a meal of meat.

In the distance, the Earl's Castle stands proudly, and Earl Lane's family crest hangs high above the city gate, showing all the evil creatures and fallen existences the Earl's powerful strength and firm will, as well as his determination to never yield.

Ryan's return aroused enthusiastic cheers. Whether it was a serf or aristocrat, the news spread in the town like wildfire. Everyone gathered here just to see the earl. The streets that Ryan passed were full of huge giants. Cheers, Ryan beckoned to the crowd, but he didn't stop and walked directly to where his castle was.

"Your Majesty Belgar, I have something urgent to deal with now. The long journey is hard work. I will send someone to arrange a good rest for you and your people." Ryan said to Belgar behind him.

"You go to your business, don't worry about your dwarf friends, my people and I have somewhere to go." Bellegar waved his hand carelessly: "But when you're done, I think we need to talk."

"Okay." Ryan nodded. He felt that he should also talk to Bellega about the next plan. Attacking the Blackstone stronghold is definitely impossible with knights and trebuchets alone. He needs the help of dwarves, Britannia Also need the help of dwarves.

"The Count and Countess are back! Open the city gate!" Ryan's housekeeper Katzenberg saw Ryan and Suria's return from the castle, and the housekeeper immediately ordered the castle gate to be opened.

"Openthegay!" The sergeants turned the bearings and opened the gate of the Earl's Castle.

"Suria, I think we should expand the earl's castle." Riding a horse into his castle, Ryan smiled at his wife: "The place was quite ample before, but if all the servants live in, it will appear It's a little crowded."

"Well... Actually, let them live in the outer castle. I must live with you." The female knight stared at him with a beautiful face: "You decide for yourself, my husband."

"Expand." Ryan could feel Surya's thoughts, and the female knight actually wanted to expand, because his earl's castle really seemed small now.

Entering the luxurious hall of the castle, the stone walls and floors of the past have been transformed into wooden ones. The huge staircase leads to the second floor. The precious tapestries and murals decorate the castle walls, the hanging crystal magic chandeliers, and the red carpet. , As Ryan entered the inner castle, two maids brought a dozen maids to lift their skirts together: "Master, welcome back!"

The two maids in the lead were Emilia, the head maid appointed by Ryan, and Orika, the personal maid. They were all wearing standard black and white lace maid outfits and maid dresses. The dark elf stepped forward and helped Ryan untie. Cloak and coat: "Master, are you back? The hot water has been placed for you."

"Your Excellency Ryan! I have cleaned your room for you... What's the matter?" The beautiful and moving Emilia also rushed up to talk to Ryan, but the little maid immediately found that Ryan was looking at him with strange eyes following her.

Emilia's face turned red all of a sudden, she lowered her head, her long golden hair was tied with a white turban, and whispered, "Why... why are you looking at me like this?"

"..." Ryan stared at his little maid without saying a word. After this trip to the empire, he basically knew who this little maid was who had followed him for several years.

"Well~ Ryan, don't you like me anymore?" The delicate and sensitive little maid immediately felt the change in Ryan, and she immediately made a sad look, with tears flashing in her beautiful big eyes: "You Are you going to drive me away?"

"No, no, I just remembered something." Ryan quickly signaled that he had no other intentions.

"Ryan~ Why are you looking at Emilia like this, it's so rude!" Suria said, the countess angrily indicated that Ryan was too rude, and the female knight quickly hugged Emilia, He comforted the little maid in panic, and then asked her husband to come over: "Lane, come over and apologize!"

"It's okay, Emilia, I just remembered some past events." Ryan quickly apologized, and Emilia's expression looked much better.

In this regard, there are essential differences in the concepts of Surya and Ryan.

Surya believes that no matter what Emilia's original intention is, the fact is that this little maid has always regarded Ryan as her safe haven, and has always been quietly in front of his maid, willing to do anything. She even completed the courtier course of the entire Winford Academy on her own, and she never did anything. The female knight felt that Ryan's requirements were a little too strict.

Ryan felt that Emilia really didn't need to hide it from him for so long. He was a little unsure of what the little maid was thinking, but after being criticized by Suria, the count did realize that his attitude was wrong, and he quickly apologized .

"Rest assured, Emilia, as long as you are willing to stay with me, you will always be my maid." Ryan stroked Emilia's petite shoulders and whispered.

The little maid's face looked a little better. In the moment just now, Emilia had hundreds of thoughts in her heart. She knew that Ryan and Suria must have known something about this trip to the empire.

After settling Emilia, Ryan said to Suria again: "Suria, please settle Teresa and Veronica, I will take a bath first, and then I will go to see Moji immediately. Your Highness Anna."

"Okay." The female knight knew that Ryan had something to discuss with Morgiana.

"Master, come with me." The dark elf maid walked towards the bathroom with Ryan, and Orika's amber eyes were full of strangeness and longing: "Please let me serve you in the bath."

"Well." Walking into the steaming bathroom, a large bucket of hot water was ready, Ryan took off his clothes and immersed himself in the water under Orika's service: "Thank you, Orika, the territory has been fine recently. Is it?"

"Everything is fine, Master. From the Winter Veil to the present, everyone has been resting, and nothing major has happened." The dark elf also took off his clothes and gently rubbed Ryan's back. In the middle of the night, her long black hair quickly became wet, and the dark essence maid's face slowly turned red. She hugged Ryan from behind: "Master...not enough magic...I need magic."

"Of course! I want them all!" Ryan grinned, picked up Orika by the waist, and immersed them in the water together.

...the dividing line for bathing...

An hour later, the Earl of Glamorgan, the Earl's Castle, the Fairy Tower in the Lake.

This bath was refreshing in all senses, and the count with wet hair came to the entrance of the fairy tower in the lake. The tower belonging to the goddess was exuding a divine glow, and the scorching power of the fairies in the lake was coming Covering the tower, the cold outside did not affect the dense fog in the valley at all. The dense fog from the goddess still revolves around the tower, and these dense fogs will disperse those unwelcome outsiders.

Lane was obviously not an unwelcome outsider. The earl came all the way to the tower, and before he got close, Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, had already waited for him in front of the tower with her hands down.

Today, the witch of the lake **** is wearing a long silk dress with a moonlight, white snow, silver-plated waist, and her waistline is exposed in front of people. She wears a golden flower crown on her head, and a pair of white velvet stockings are exposed under the long dress. Her pink and tender feet, her silk feet stepped on a pair of white pointed-toed stiletto high-heeled shoes, and when she saw Ryan appearing, Morgiana's beautiful face was both a little happy and filled with deep resentment: "It's good for you to come. Early, I thought you would be a few days late."

"I have something urgent to discuss with you, my highness." Ryan quickly approached ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Just in time, I also have something I want to discuss with you, lady's champion. Morgiana gently, she took the initiative to take Ryan's hand and walked in: "It's very urgent, Richard can't make a decision, so he immediately summoned me." "

Ryan felt a sudden shock, and he asked tentatively, "Is it about the abdication of the king of knights?"

"No, Richard has the intention to abdicate, but this matter is not so fast, it's another matter." Morgiana only felt that her whole body was warmed by Ryan's big hand, and the lake **** witch, whose legs were a little weak, simply He took his arm and leaned against him: "It's about Theodoric, Duke of Berleon."

"His Excellency Duke Theodoric?" Ryan was surprised and asked repeatedly: "What happened? He was eroded by the undead?"

"No." Morgiana took Ryan to the table on the first floor. She took out a special lawsuit with the joint seal of more than a dozen Berleon lords, knights, and merchants. Morgiana's face With a tangled expression, she introduced to Ryan.

"The Duke of Theodoric was found to have had an affair with the wife of a subordinate count, and thus involved a major case in the kingdom! After a series of discoveries and accusations, the Duke of Berleone Theodoric de Berleon, a total of It was discovered that he had an affair with the wives of two counts, three barons, five kingdom knights... a total of nineteen nobles!"

"These nineteen nobles jointly issued a special lawsuit against King Richard! They demanded that His Excellency Theodoric be dealt with. His Majesty Richard could not make a decision, so this special lawsuit was sent to me."

"???" Ryan couldn't close his mouth. He thought that Duke Theodoric could do it!

"I don't know how to decide for a while, Ryan, you are the lady's champion, what's your opinion?"

Morgiana raised her head and looked at Ryan.

"Uh, I think..."
