Claude's words about the system contained a lot of horsepower, and it was obvious that he was somewhat overwhelmed.
"Look at this time, the old emperor made it clear that he wanted to use me, but look at how many things he has produced? Dozens of brave and fair knights, all elites in the army, just for me to get started quickly The new Knights, not to mention the knights, cavalry, and auxiliary soldiers behind. Although the price is that I don’t have any room to swing, at least I have the qualifications to participate in the game.”
"Thinking about it, I had to pull the tiger's skin from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, and I had to pretend to be a soldier to conduct dangerous tactical fraud. It's really powerless to complain. It's really torture to hang out with Ludwig."
[That being said, don't you still want to help him ascend to the throne of God? 】
"...This is not contradictory to me calling him stupid and sweet behind my back."
The short teaching time came to an end, Claude settled his mood, and walked into the Roman palace.
------------------------------------------------
The ceremonial things are always lackluster, nothing more than the endorsement of Letitia herself, so that Claude is not so obtrusive in being in charge of an imperial guard.
So there was no surprise, when the three of them walked out of the Roman palace, Claude had already transformed into the "acting head of the new Ninth Knights of the Emperor's Guard".
It is estimated that after the official establishment is completed, the word "agent" will be removed, and then he will be promoted to colonel and enter the southern or eastern front to gain experience.As long as you don't make mistakes, becoming a Brigadier General is like eating and drinking, and then this new Ninth Knight Order will get a new name and officially become one of the second-line main battle knight orders of the empire.
Or, it is enough to just delete the two words newly edited.
"Perhaps, it's time to call you [Captain Claude]?"
Christina said playfully.
"Please don't call me that, Your Highness."
Claude sternly rejected this strange address, and the moment he heard this address, he felt a chill in his chest.
"Then, Claude, can you not live in the manor anymore? After all, you have to train and reorganize your knights."
Christina seemed to mean something, but Claude was a little confused about what the other party was thinking.Leticia was a little disappointed by these words, and the girl still hoped that Claude could continue to spend more time with her in the manor.
"Yes, but the base of my Knights is not far from the outskirts of the imperial capital." The young man considered his words, "And those people were originally the personal guards of His Royal Highness Letitia. If His Highness wants to come, you can send them at any time. People report."
He was speaking to Letitia, but Christina took the words.
"That's great. After all, this semester's courses are really boring. Letitia, can you go to Claude with my sister for a while? I don't want to be lectured by my father and mother. I just happen to be here , you don’t have to always report to Maggie when you go out, it’s much more free, isn’t it?”
Christina leaned closer to her sister's ear, as if whispering.
A rare trace of doubt slipped across the girl's face. She always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what her sister said, but she couldn't find it—but the other party's words entered her heart, and she was able to travel freely. The dream of all time.
'Look, this is the language skills and city government that a child of the royal family should have. He never said that I was just a polite remark, but used Leticia as a shield. '
[Although the other party's purpose is rather strange, what you said does make sense...]
What else could Claude do, he could only show a sunny smile to Letitia, helping to fool them all.
"I remember this little princess has a knight training bonus, so come more..."
Claude gave up struggling.
-------------------------------------------------
It wasn't just Claude who was distressed about the coming spring.
The cloud on Augustus' face deepened with each passing day.
He always remembers the conflict with his teacher in the winter. At that time, he was only frightened by the attitude and behavior of the other party. After all, he had never seen his teacher behave so "out of line".
In his impression, Leichter is a wise and easy-going person. He has almost never seen his teacher get angry at anyone. He is a typical good gentleman and is especially good at handling friction between various forces.
Augustus never thought that he would be scolded by the other party one day.
If it was because Gutenberg's betrayal was too sudden and Leichter's confrontation was too shocking, he subconsciously obeyed the other party. After returning, he calmed down completely, and Augustus realized that his teacher was right. of.
After all, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau had placed too many eyes and ears around him, so he suddenly went to Leicht, it could be said to ask for advice, but if he kidnapped a person from there, it would immediately cause a commotion in the city, and there would be no way at all. It's over.
But without Gutenberg, the business between himself and the Merchant Alliance will be a bit unsustainable-considering what Leicht said before, Augustus also has plans to stop, after all, this matter is already a bit out of control For this reason, if both Leicht and Gutenberg are forced to oppose him, then his strength will be hit hard and he will lose the ability to check and balance those big nobles.
In the final analysis, it was because the emperor had been supporting Ludwig in the past few years, Augustus hardly received any help.Not to mention the loss of the province of Provence and the annihilation of a second-tier knight order.
The military department even directly erased the number of the Front Rock Knights, and there was no preparation for rebuilding it at all. The emperor did not say that he would compensate himself for this, but instead praised Ludwig who went to pick peaches in the end.
Augustus clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and let go again.
Haven't you already prepared for this?
"After all, even my birth is your shame, isn't it, father? Otherwise, you don't need to make my mother shut up forever, right?"
A self-deprecating smile hangs on the corner of the man's mouth
"Of course I know that I am not favored, but I just want to fight for that seat—not only for my mother, but also for my father who drove her to death. A son with civilian blood can also take on the role." Da Ren!"
Augustus slammed his fist hard on the table.
"I will never give up, no matter what method I use, no matter what kind of power I use, I will definitely prove myself to you! I want you to personally apologize to my mother—"
"--emperor!"

I couldn't hold back anymore, just resumed the update, but yesterday the author's backend exploded, and I couldn't log in at all. As a result, I seemed to be stabilizing.
It was repaired in the middle of the night, and Sister Xixi said in the evening that each person would send a leave note, so I didn't wait for the repair yesterday, and I didn't upload it, so this chapter is actually yesterday, and there will be another update later today, which is being written.
Learn from Me: Chapter 190 Chapter 170 Chapter [-] Dressed Up History
There was a knock on the door.
"what's up?"
Augustus asked coldly.
"Your Highness, someone wants to visit you."
A voice came from outside the door,
"who is it?"
"I don't know, the other party just sent a letter in, saying that he wants to ask you first, and then he will come to see you."
The eldest prince frowned. The people from the Theocracy had basically withdrawn and stopped contacting him. The business alliance basically relied on the nobles and Gutenberg. He basically did not have any contact with these guys. .
Besides, is there anyone else who needs to meet me in such a sneaky way?
"Bring in the letter."
The waiter outside the door opened the door in response, gently placed the silver plate with the letter on the study table, and left immediately.
All these people came to serve by his side after Augustus made great efforts to review after that incident. When he thought of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, he unconsciously wanted to get angry.
The man opened the letter, looked at the contents inside, and narrowed his eyes.
The text in the letter is very short, just saying that he wants to come to see Augustus in person tonight, but the person who signed it is very interesting.
"... Duke of Brittany?"
Augustus frowned.
Because of the incident with Gutenberg and Leicht this year, no one is in the mood to have a good year.I can still be calm and composed, because since Leichter has promised him, there will be no extra problems.
But those big nobles are different, especially those who smuggled wantonly during this period. After hearing that they handed over Gutenberg to Leicht, they all became restless, even Some people wanted to take Gutenberg away by force, but they were all suppressed by themselves.
Originally, he thought that he would need to spend a lot of effort to appease these guys, but what he didn't expect was that the Grand Duke of Brittany actually helped him so much that the crisis of trust under his command disappeared quickly. Although there is still some restlessness, it is clear that these guys are temporarily stabilized before the real result comes out.
But what's interesting is that the Grand Duke of Brittany was also the one who expanded his smuggling business. It can even be said that his business scale is second only to Gutenberg's.
Logically speaking, such a person should be the one who opposed him and Leicht most fiercely, but the other party had no intention of doing this at all, and instead helped him calm down the voice of opposition.
Augustus had also approached him before. The Grand Duke only said that it was his duty as a courtier. He believed that His Highness would not let those who were truly loyal to him suffer. This was just what he should do...
Augustus would not even believe a word of this kind of nonsense, but the other party did indeed do so without asking for additional conditions.If the above words were said publicly by the Grand Duke of Brittany in front of other people, then it can still be said that it was a flattery, which prevented Augustus from stepping down.
But it was a private conversation, and even the other party didn't take the initiative to leak the conversation, which is very puzzling.
"What the hell is this guy trying to do?"
The eldest prince narrowed his eyes, he was a little confused about the other party's plan, when a money-grubbing guy doesn't care about money, then you need to be very careful with him - because you don't know what this guy is planning .
He stood up, walked out of the study door, and looked at the waiter who came in with the letter.
"Go to the door, tell the messenger, and say that I agree to the other party's request."
"Yes, Your Highness."
------------------------------------------------
"Did His Highness Augustus say so?"
The Grand Duke of Brittany looked at the person in front of him.
"Yes, a waiter came over and said that His Highness agreed to your request in the letter."
The messenger said respectfully.
"Okay, I see, you go down, go back to the Principality of Brittany immediately, and don't show up anywhere for the time being."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Duke."
The man was ordered to retreat.
When the footsteps left, a relaxed expression appeared on the man's face.
"It seems that your plan is going very well, Your Excellency the Grand Duke."
said another who stayed in the shadows.
"Thanks to you, at least in terms of confidentiality, you are still trustworthy."
The Grand Duke took a long breath and looked at the other party.
"But I really don't understand, why do you have to wear the service of the emissary of the Theocracy? Is it because you are afraid that others will not catch you?"
"It's just a status symbol, symbol, Your Excellency the Grand Duke. It seems that I was transferred from the orcs to take over the intelligence network of the empire before I was ready. Before I think of a new code name, it's better to wear this outfit .”
The emissary of the Theocracy said casually.
"Take it? From the guy in the robe?"
The Grand Duke of Brittany narrowed his eyes slightly.
The guy in front of me came over on the smuggling ship of the Merchant Alliance one day. He came to visit him on the first day he came, and said that he would be in charge of contacting the nobles in the future.As a result, the other party had no intention of contacting him at all, so he just stayed with him, and asking was just waiting for the wind to pass.
It wasn't until recently that the other party started to take action. As the other party said, they were slowly processing intelligence from the empire and cooperated with him in intelligence.
Compared to that mysterious guy in a long robe who can't even distinguish between a human and a ghost, this guy's sense of oppression is not a bit less.The other party did not have the kind of omniscient and omniscient intelligence ability, just like his clothing, he seemed to be a simple "messenger", but this made the Grand Duke of Brittany slightly relieved, After all, talking to that guy before, really feels like being restrained everywhere.
"Yes, of course it is to take over. Wasn't it because of various things that made it a little difficult to deal with, so the other party was recalled and I came here instead. I didn't dare until the search by the Imperial Intelligence Agency passed. Come forward. I was an envoy to the orcs before, and because of racial issues, I don’t need to be responsible for building an intelligence network.”
The other shrugged.
"It's just the situation of the orcs now. As you know, they only have a few melons and two dates left. There is no need to continue wasting time there, so they withdrew me back. It just so happens that the empire is next. It takes a period of time to lie dormant, mainly to 'communicate' with the nobles, so I have no time to return to the Islamic State, so I was left here as the person in charge."
The Grand Duke sneered in his heart. The other party may be really good at making missions and communicating with forces, but to say that the Theocracy is not prepared to continue to carry out intelligence work is simply nonsense.Either this guy is also very deep in the city, and he is scheming, or the other party is simply a target thrown by the robed man, and there are other people behind him who are acting secretly.
"Do you want to say that if I lose the value of being used like the orcs, you will leave here very cleanly?"
"Look at what you said, how is it possible? Orcs are not human beings, so it's fine to use them. When they die, they will naturally let them go. But you and those nobles are the elite and leaders of human beings. , the future of the entire human race requires us to work together.”
The voice of the Theocracy's envoy seemed calm and powerful, and there seemed to be an invisible magic power in the language, making people unable to help but think about the bright future.
"I think, you, and those real dragons among men, should have been very dissatisfied with the status quo of the empire, right? Obviously this empire is so huge, but it can't hold the ambition of the royal family - he vainly tried to put all the power How absurd and stupid is this? Can they guarantee that every emperor is wise and powerful? How can they ensure that the empire is not destroyed by one person's paranoia?"
His voice didn't get much louder, but he struck every word in the heart of the Grand Duke of Brittany.
"Think about it, the Theocracy has been prosperous for thousands of years, precisely because of the mutual checks and balances between the cardinals and the pope, a balanced situation discussed by multiple parties is the pillar that ensures the long-term operation of a country! Shouldn't the empire also To adopt such a political situation? Of course His Majesty the Emperor is supreme, but that should also listen to other people's opinions, shouldn't it?"
"A person has limits after all. It is impossible and impossible for him to run such a huge country smoothly. The parliamentary system is the future of this country. Whether it is a business alliance or a church country, they all come through like this , We have been able to contend with the empire with such a weak force, isn't it because of the joint efforts of all the wise men?"
The Grand Duke of Brittany took a deep breath, and managed to calm down the surging heart that had been said.
"...I understand why you said you are an emissary instead of an intelligence agent."
The other party accepted the compliment with a big grin.
"That's because all the things I said are long-cherished wishes in your heart. If I say these things to His Highness Augustus, I guess I won't even be able to see the moon tonight, right?"
The messenger stood up and patted his clothes.
