Public trial?You deserve it too!

He didn't answer the question directly, but took a sip of water from his cup, then turned his chair slightly, motioning for Dania to sit beside him.

The girl sat down and stared at the Grand Duke of Saxony intently.

"I didn't expect you to ask this question so quickly. It seems that my vision and ability for you will continue to change. You already have the ability to really get involved in the political situation of the empire."

The Grand Duke praised, making his daughter blush slightly, obviously very happy to receive such appreciation from her father, but the Grand Duke's next sentence made her look serious again, and she didn't dare to let go of a word.

"You're right, that's what I think. I hope you can make full use of the fact that you once saved His Royal Highness Ludwig, coupled with the friendship between you and Christina, to occupy a place under the command of the Third Prince."

Kotlin has no intention of becoming a riddleman, and speaks out his thoughts straightforwardly

"I'm old, and I devoted myself to the great prince Augustus very early on. If I go to join Ludwig now, I will make the Saxon family a laughing stock—although the future will prove my vision, but I I don’t want to discredit my surname because of this, and get the reputation of [the oath of allegiance can be trampled at will], it’s not a good thing.”

Dania's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect her father to say it so directly, and she didn't expect that the Grand Duke sent her to Ludwig's command not to make two-handed preparations—Kotlin was actually the real one. He did this because he decided to change his court. If he hadn't got involved with Ludwig, he would have resolutely thrown himself into Ludwig's arms even if he was notorious.

"Surprise?"

The Grand Duke actually laughed at this time.

"Yes...it's so different from the usual you—I mean, the speed at which you line up is completely different from the way you taught me in the past."

Dania spoke her mind subconsciously.

"Today is different from the past..."

Kotlin sighed.

"Danya, do you know why, the emperors of the empire have always disliked the big nobles, but the Duchy of Saxony, which is almost on the edge of the imperial capital, has been able to stand up to this day, and even the fiefdom of the duchy has not been reduced?"

"I remember because the ancestors, as the Overwatch Alliance of the Kingdom of Bohemia, defected to the Empire beyond everyone's expectations, allowing the Empire to use the Sudeten Mountains to go straight to Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia, and laid the foundation for the war in the eastern part of the continent. Situation—this is why the first emperor swore that as long as the Saxons live up to the empire, the empire will also live up to Saxon."

"That's just a pretext, and a historical story for everyone to read."

Kotlin smiled and waved his hand.

"The oath of the superior is the most untrustworthy thing. Saxony's position is too close to the imperial capital. This is the way to kill—and the reason why we can stand today is because, no matter how shocking our decision is, Saxony always It’s about being on the winning side.”

"Remember, don't try to keep something by oath, Saxony's family motto, never do anything risky."

Dania nodded solemnly, but she suddenly remembered something: "But, according to what you said, why did you acquiesce to... that matter?"

She didn't make it very clear, but both of them understood in their hearts that that matter referred to Joachim intercepting and killing Ludwig.

"The reason is very simple, because I really didn't find anything."

The Grand Duke of Saxony said frankly.

"Joachim's actions are too secretive, so secret that even I only found out about it after being told by the First Prince not to take any action."

"What?" Dania looked at her father in astonishment. "But, but, how is this possible, you know that is a whole knight order"

"Yes, that is a whole knight order, but the most surprising question is that this attack on a prince can be successfully carried out, is it hidden from my eyes here? Have you ever thought about where the Imperial Intelligence Bureau is? What kind of effect did it have?"

Kotlin almost put his mouth close to his daughter's ear before saying this.

Dania nodded slightly. She understood what her father meant—it was indeed surprising that the attack had escaped Saxony's eyes, but what was even more surprising was that the Imperial Intelligence Bureau had no advance warning at all, and even the first The one who was sent for help was far away in the imperial capital, a knight under Ludwig, and even he was intercepted and killed. If it wasn't for the appearance of Claude, it basically meant that the Imperial Intelligence Bureau was completely in a state of failure.

Even... They may be deliberately blinding the eyes of the above.

"And you have to know that the First Prince sent someone to find me before this attack happened, and asked me to 'try to relax some military concerns in the territory'-this is even more chilling, Augustus' intelligence Net, can you find something that even the Imperial Intelligence Bureau has not found? Impossible... Impossible..."

The Grand Duke of Saxony rubbed his forehead wearily.

"So what can I do? I can't do anything, go to inform His Majesty the Emperor? It's too late. And I can't trust the Imperial Intelligence Agency's position on the surface—I can only do my best to keep Ludwig to stay. Two days, this is already the limit of what I can do as a Grand Duke loyal to Augustus."

Dania couldn't say a word anymore, and she was even subconsciously resisting to continue to think deeply - that would only make her feel small.

"That's why...the strength is insufficient..."

Her sleepy words were not heard, because his father was also very troubled by this matter.

"Since then, I have been subconsciously alienating His Royal Highness Augustus, whether it is supporting you or helping you deal with Augustus' special envoy, it is all in order to leave one more way - before the emperor considers abdicating the throne , the Imperial Intelligence Bureau is within the scope that no one can intervene, whoever touches it will die!"

The Grand Duke of Saxony took out two documents from his close-fitting clothes, put them on the table, and motioned Dania to pick them up and have a look.

"One is a written document given to me by Augustus before the attack. Obviously he understands that with Saxony's attitude, he will never trust a message. I will just kill the person who sent the message, and then He tried his best to help Ludwig, so he sent this document and said [this is our mutual secret].”

"And the other one is even more interesting-this is a blank business list."

There was a strong disgust and helplessness in the Grand Duke's eyes.

"Augustus asked me to fill in the amount of funds I want to do business with the business alliance, and guarantee that I will definitely make a lot of money. At that time, I will understand that as long as His Majesty does not suddenly become seriously ill , or encounter an accident, it is absolutely impossible for Augustus to be the one who has the last laugh—and those "big nobles" like me are actively sending this word into the garbage dump of history!"

Kotlin raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the ceiling, but his eyes were full of hostility.

"I don't care what these guys are thinking, I just know that the Saxon family must not fall in my hands!"

He grabbed Dania by the shoulders.

"I hope you can stay in the imperial capital for a while, and live in the Ludwig Manor - the future fate of the Saxony family is in your hands! Promise me, Dania, you will bear this burden Everything in the last name!"

The girl looked at her father and nodded slowly and solemnly.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

"This is all the conversation you have with your father? It seems that he has a good eye, at least he knows what is right and what is wrong."

Claude put down the document in his hand, and the beautiful text on it clearly showed who wrote it.

"Yes, there are also those two documents, I remember a lot, and I have also described them."

Dania showed off as if taking credit while making coffee.

"Your father has high expectations for you. Why don't you follow his ideas? As I said, our deal will last until you become the Grand Duke of Saxony. Since you have already paid, I will not go to you again. "

Claude looked at Dania's busy figure with interest.

"What made you become what you are now? You even gave up what you dreamed of in the past."

The girl looked back, and just bumped into Claude's half-smile expression, and immediately turned back with a blushing face, biting her lips lightly.

"It's just... I just feel that I am too small. After hearing so many things and meeting you, those things in the Principality of Saxony gradually become boring. I want to follow you, continue to go up, and see a higher world landscape."

Dania spoke intermittently because she didn't know how to explain

She could feel that she was actually losing interest in becoming the Grand Duke of Saxony, and it seemed that she had become more comfortable with everything, but only she knew that dealing with those affairs had made her more and more boring.After experiencing Claude's thrilling behavior and the other party's almost prophetic predictions, in her opinion, these things are basically not on the table.

She is longing, longing to be the same as before, following this confident young man, watching him swing the two ends of the balance with his own strength, watching those people make every move like clowns on the stage. The actions predicted by him in advance, it seems that the world is turning according to his script.

And as a witness, Dania knew clearly that she could not go back.

She can never go back to the girl who is full of calculations and obsessed with the title of a female archduke, because that kind of thing can't satisfy her current desire at all-she wants to see more, more prophecies from Claude , more from his schemes.

Dania finds it very funny when she sees those who think they have the chance to win and are proud of their success, and those who are superior are proud of their calculations, but they don't know that these are just a few words from a teenager. .

Especially when his father said those words with a serious face, which were exactly the same as what Claude talked leisurely on the road, it was very difficult for her to keep her face sullen and not yawn.

Is the surname Saxon important to her?

maybe.

But there is at least one thing she is sure of. If one day Augustus really had the last laugh, the conversation last night would definitely happen again, but it happened between her father and her brother. it's -

After all, in his eyes, Saxony is everything, isn't it?

Learn from me: Chapter 184 Asking for leave

Like the title, in mid-April, the epidemic here is finally coming to an end.

Since the beginning of the epidemic, I have been counting volunteer hours, which is why the biological clock was given to me for nothing...

After all, guarding the gate of a residential area for an eight-hour shift is easier than others, but the timing is a bit dark, but the advantage is that there are really few people coming in and out...

In the next week, I will relax, adjust my mental state, and adjust my biological clock by the way, so the update will be more random, probably every two or three days, and the daily update will resume at the end of April and early May at the latest.

Don't ask why, the question is that I bought the ring for more than a month, except for the three and a half hours of playing the game with the big tree guard at the beginning, it was considered a complete game for a while, and I haven't played a week until now, and I am doing the Lani line... …

The author also wants to have an X life (Zhen Sheng)

In addition, I wish all places to overcome the epidemic as soon as possible (sigh)

Learn from Me: Chapter 185 Chapter 160 Chapter [-] Blind Spots

Boom boom boom!

The knocking on the door seemed rapid and continuous, obviously the visitor was in a hurry and wanted to meet the owner of the house.

[It's Charles. 】

Claude put down the long sword he had just grabbed because of the knock on the door in confusion. Why did Charles want to see him so eagerly?Could it be that the other party has other ideas about implementing the plan?

"Charles? What's the matter? You seem a little anxious. What happened?"

The boy opened the door and let the other party in. After Charles entered the door, he waited for Claude to close the door before speaking.

"Captain, the Grand Duke of Brittany came to see me today, and he told me to get ready to go back to the Principality of Brittany with him, and learn some shit noble etiquette first, and he also said that he has helped me apply for a year Take a break from school and don’t need to worry about graduation.”

There was obvious confusion on his face, obviously he couldn't figure out what his cheap father was thinking.

Claude also frowned.

"Didn't the annual meeting of the nobles just end a few days ago? Why, he asked in a hurry?"

"It was very rushed and completely different from last year."

Charles said with certainty.

"Last year it was at least half a month before he notified me that he would take me back, and it didn't take long for me to return to the imperial capital because of the start of school, and he made it clear that he didn't want me to stay there longer—but this time he seemed in a hurry , and it was actually his steward who came to inform me, apparently he forced me to leave with him so early, and he wanted me to stay in the Principality of Brittany for the next year."

Claude came over with two glasses of water.

"No matter what he wants to do, in short, stay the same and respond to all changes. Gorman... No, Mr. Herman's weight loss has been very effective. I think there will be no flaws even if we set off with you now, so the plan is still No change—but once you get there, you have to obey the other party's arrangements and orders, understand?"

"Yes, I understand that my experience in this field must be incomparable with Ge... and Mr. Herman."

Charles nodded.

But Claude seemed to think of something: "Charles, do you have any friends in the academy?"

The man shook his head a little embarrassedly.

"You know, Captain, I can't play with the nobles, but the civilians and the nobles are very different, so my friends are only you."

"Well, it's not a big deal—if there's nothing wrong, you can go back first and continue to prepare according to the plan. You can contact me through Herman for anything in the future, but don't come to me in person, lest Expose because of that."

"...I'm sorry, captain, I didn't pay attention, I shouldn't be so impatient."

Only then did Charles realize belatedly that his behavior was indeed a bit too reckless, and apologized to the other party in shame.

"It's not a big deal, we are comrades-in-arms, but you have to pay attention after the plan starts, these small details can't be exposed."

Claude just waved his hand. After all, he is not noticeable now, so he doesn’t need to care about it, but what he will say later will only attract more and more attention. After all, after graduating from university ahead of schedule, it means that he will officially enter the world stage.

As Charles left, the door closed, and Claude narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Something's not quite right, something must have happened."

[Because this reason is too childish? 】

"Yes, you know, obviously Shire has carried the surname of Brittany for several years, why did the Grand Duke of Brittany ask him to learn aristocratic etiquette now?"

Claude tapped his fingers on the table.

"And is it really so difficult to learn aristocratic etiquette? He even has to suspend his studies in the Department of Warfare for a whole year? You must know that our school year experience ended early, so our third year was not advanced at all. It would be very leisurely to arrange courses. This spare time is more than enough for Charles to learn noble etiquette—besides, if you really want to talk about learning etiquette, can the etiquette teachers in the Principality of Brittany surpass the teachers in the imperial capital?"

[Maybe it's an excuse, he hopes that Charles will learn more than simple etiquette? 】

"That's even more interesting. From what Charles said, we can know that the Grand Duke of Brittany didn't value Charles very much before. He just thought that his knight talent was quite good, and he used it to spur his own son to give He has a sense of urgency—just like the attitude of the Grand Duke of Saxony towards Dania before, he only gave a title, but he didn't give him the strength to truly support the other party in striving for the status of heir."

Claude stood up and walked back to his room. Volume after volume of information was neatly stacked on the bookshelf by him.

"The son of the Grand Duke of Brittany, Randolph mentioned, is also a waste, except for arrogance and eating steak with a knife and fork, he is no different from a gangster-why is the first son of these nobles? Are they all crooked melons and cracked dates? Could this be considered a good idea by the old emperor?"

The young man shook his head.

"In short, there should be a change in Shire's position. No matter whether this change is good or bad, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the plan. Although I don't know what the impact is yet, I have to start preparing a backup plan."

【You really don't seem surprised at all. 】

"I'm used to it, and plans can never keep up with changes, so I never use planning as the key to victory-improvement is."

Claude sighed, closed the unfinished files, tidied up, and prepared to go out.
