Public trial?You deserve it too!

It can't be that they are here to eliminate counter-revolutionaries, right?

"Your Highness."

The slender man bowed to Ludwig.

"The next officer is Lieutenant Colonel Siegfried of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. I have important information to inform you, but before that, you need to bring the three people under your command here."

"Which three?"

"Adelin Rupert Knight's family of three."

Ludwig's expression was a little unhappy: "Haven't you already 'inquired' about the whole thing? Is there anything else that you have to ask in the middle of the night?"

Siegfried bowed immediately: "Your Highness, the trial of your assassination has already been concluded, and the description of Knight Adelin has also been concluded. This time, it is not to provoke this case again, but for other things."

"Go, wake up Knight Adelin and let his family of three come over."

Ludwig ordered to go on, and then turned his gaze to the man.

"Since it's not for that matter, what else should Knight Adelin deserve your attention?"

"It's his origin, more precisely, it's the faction he was loyal to before."

Siegfried was endless in the face of interrogation.

"The force you were loyal to before? You mean the Principality of Wallachia? I know about this. Knight Adelin said this when he first joined me." Ludwig frowned, "You Why come to him now?"

"Your Highness, please be a little more patient. I will explain the details after Knight Adelin arrives, because he has to answer some questions."

Siegfried's posture was very low, but the more he was like this, the more Ludwig was a little confused. He and Jung looked at each other, and the old man walked to his side and bent down to explain in a low voice. .

"The Imperial Intelligence Bureau has always been loyal to His Majesty, and will not care about anyone else. This time, the other party is quite respectful to His Highness, which can only mean that His Majesty instructed him to tell His Highness about this matter. So you have to think carefully before making a decision.”

Ludwig nodded: "I understand this, but what puzzles me is why Adelin is involved, what happened to the empire recently, and the Principality of Wallachia will be involved?"

Soon, the Adelin couple arrived, and their daughter Lina arrived in the front hall with Christina.

"Kristen?" Ludwig was a little surprised.

"Father, I want to see what happened. After all, Lina is my guardian knight." Christina pulled the nervous Lina, motioned her to relax, and then explained to her father.

Siegfried frowned calmly, but he didn't say anything. After all, the matter of Adelin had not been within the scope of his responsibility management before, and this time he came here simply to pass on a message.

"It has been found out that the rebellion in Provence province involved the forces of the Holy Kingdom, but after careful investigation, we found that the leader of the first rebellion team was Galapache, a former Vala General of the Principality of Guia."

"What? It's impossible!" Adelin was the first to shout out in shock.

Lina's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Knight Rupert, are you questioning the level of our Imperial Intelligence Agency?"

Siegfried asked calmly, but Adelin shivered.

"No, no, sir...my lord, I'm not questioning you. The reason why I say it's impossible is because General Galapash died in battle ten years ago."

"What did you say?" Siegfried was taken aback.

"The Principality of Wallachia and the Elven Empire have been fighting endlessly for generations, so most of our troops are deployed on the eastern front. This is also the reason why we have almost no power to fight back when the Theocracy's Eastern Expeditionary Army rushed over from the west, because the eastern front The elves also launched a huge offensive, and the supreme commander stationed on the Eastern Front at that time was General Galapash."

Adelin's voice trembled, this history was his most painful nightmare.

"After the start of the war, Grand Duke Vlad gave repeated orders not to allow General Galapash to command any troops on the Eastern Front to march westward. Even though the Theocracy's army had swept across the western part of our country, he was determined not to mobilize any troops on the Eastern Front. In the end, The final outcome... is the collapse of the Principality of Wallachia, while the Theocracy's Eastern Expeditionary Army, after occupying most of the territory, sat back and watched General Galapash fight alone on the border, and refused to even provide material support."

"Don't the Eastern Expeditionary Army have any intention of fighting aliens?"

Ludwig roared in disbelief.

"No, the last thing I heard was that General Galapash didn't die under the sword of the elves. He gathered his troops to break through to the west, and was finally surrounded by the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Theocracy, and finally his entire army was wiped out in Dobloza."

"Dobloza? Is it 'Dobroza Inferno'?" Jung asked in shock, and Adelin nodded painfully.

According to the Theocracy, the Eastern Expeditionary Army encountered an elf trap there, and the flames engulfed the entire city, burning up the brave Eastern Expeditionary Army soldiers and the rebels of the Principality of Wallachia, and were treated as traitors. Some end up making a lot of noise.

"So that's how it is... Sorry, the Wallachia branch was abolished in ten years and merged into the Eastern Expedition Office, and all the information was also sealed, so please allow me to compare the details before reporting to His Highness. However, the investigation by the Intelligence Bureau There is nothing wrong with it, what is certain is that the remnants of the Principality of Wallachia were indeed involved in this rebellion."

Siegfried bowed slightly, but did not intend to leave.

"Besides, there is a second piece of information about the identity of Miss Lina, the daughter of Knight Adelin Rupert."

Adelin and Eleanor immediately looked at Siegfried in shock, and Christina also felt that the girl beside her seemed to be drained of strength for a moment, and even had to support herself to stand still.

"Miss Lina, formerly known as Dragulina Vlad, is the daughter of Grand Duke Vlad and the legal heir of the Principality of Wallachia." Siegfried handed over a document respectfully.

Ludwig was also a little surprised, took it over and read it carefully, then looked up at Siegfried.

"Your Majesty means to let Your Highness decide on your own, and the Intelligence Bureau is only responsible for conveying information to you."

Siegfried made a final bow.

"Then, I will retire."

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 41 Chapter 41 The Subjugated Princess

"Your Highness... Please believe me! Lina's identity is not because I deliberately want to hide it from you, but because the Grand Duke entrusted me with it. I hope she will not think about revenge or restoration of the country, and live like an ordinary person. , That's why I lied that she was my daughter, so as to cover the eyes of those Theocracy spies."

Adelin knelt down on the ground directly after Siegfried went out, his voice was full of difficulty, and Eleanor knelt down immediately behind him.

"No need, Knight Adelin, I won't blame you for this." Ludwig shook his head, "I don't care about Lina's identity, it's just that I have to give you the rebellion. Your Majesty has an answer."

"I will immediately go to Provence Province, and I will definitely give you an account of this matter. Even if it is really my old colleagues who started this rebellion and dare to pretend to be General Galapache, I will definitely kill him personally." They, to quell the rebellion for the empire."

Adelin's voice was very firm, and he didn't waver in the slightest because he wanted to attack the Wallachians.

"Alright, in this case, your identities can also be cleared." Ludwig obviously thought so too, "You are good at training soldiers, and many of my subordinates are trained by you. Go to the barracks and pick some of you." I will send you two long knight brigades from the Lightning Knights, and then you will travel south day and night, and you must clean up all the fake people mentioned in the information as soon as possible, understand?"

His meaning is obvious, no matter whether it is the remnants of Wallachia or not, as long as it is a fake who is killed and brought back with some heads, then this matter will be over. Adelin has proved his loyalty, and the third prince is cleared. own suspicion.

"Yes, thank you Your Highness for your trust!"

Adelin knelt down again, he was really grateful to Ludwig.

"Wait, Your Highness, your decision is too reckless." Jung sighed, although this is the best solution, but at this juncture, this solution seems very inappropriate.

"why?"

"The Governor of Provence belongs to the First Prince. Two days ago, His Highness Augustus proposed that General Erin lead the Front Rock Knights and [-] infantry to quell the rebellion in Provence Province. His Majesty agreed. If If you send your pro-army south at this time, the eldest prince will definitely think that this is a blatant provocation, and it will fail to end no matter in front of His Majesty or the nobles."

After all, Jung is an old man who has stayed in the imperial capital for decades. He naturally knows these unspoken political rules. Of course, he has planned the rebellion in the Provence province, but this time the soldiers are just scattered farmers. If the governor is not too useless , I only know how to protect myself. Even in the current situation, the support of the eldest prince may not be necessary. He can calm down with a lavender knight order at hand. The knight order on the plain cannot be stopped by a group of half-assed peasants and soldiers. liveable.

So this time the rebellion can only be a pity in his heart, at most it will embarrass the eldest prince, but it will come to an end. The farce will dissipate without a trace.

Ludwig fell silent when he heard the words. After all, he is not a real political idiot. If he sends troops at such a time, he will definitely lose his mind. At that time, someone with a heart will find out the remnants of Wallachia, Adelin and Lina It's something that can't be explained no matter how you explain it.

Seeing Ludwig's pensive look, Jung opened his mouth and swallowed the words in his heart.

His Majesty asked people from the Intelligence Bureau to report the two pieces of information directly, and also named Adelin's family to come out. The intention was obvious.On the one hand, it was just like what he ordered, and he wanted to see how Ludwig would deal with this matter. On the other hand, he was also warning those who knew or were about to know the news not to bring this matter up to the third prince. body.

Therefore, the best way for Ludwig now is to directly kill the Adelin couple and send Dragurina to the palace. If he is unwilling to do anything, he will send all three of them to the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. Showing his own means shows that he can also handle things with a heart of stone, and he can also show that he is absolutely incompatible with the enemies of the empire, killing two birds with one stone.

It's a pity that, judging by Ludwig's current expression, he would never consider such a thing.

The old man sighed softly, but the corners of his mouth soon curved up again.

This is the reason why I have chosen to stay by his side after I became his teacher, isn't it?

After seeing too many open and dark arrows and intrigues, Jung just wanted to protect the last heart of the royal family, so he stood unswervingly by Ludwig's side for so many years, no matter whether Ludwig wanted to stay away from the royal family. Whether it is the hall or the current one, he will firmly advise his students.

"Your Highness, please allow me to go south alone."

Adelin's voice was firm.

"I will go find that team, and then kill the fake leader, and put an end to the Wallachia remnants. My only hope is that you will allow my daughter, Lina Rupert, could live her life with that name."

Adelin's meaning is obvious. It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies on this trip. The important thing is to remove Wallachia from the cause of the rebellion and from the command of the third prince at the same time. There is no way for Xi to escape, so his only hope is to beg Ludwig not to hand over Lina.

Eleanor didn't say anything, but held her husband's hand tightly.

She would not allow her husband to go south alone. If His Highness agreed, there would be no point in staying by herself. It would be better to finish the journey with her lover.

Ludwig fell silent. He knew that this was also a solution, but Adelin and his wife had to be sacrificed. He said that he turned his attention to Jung, and the old man nodded slightly. This is the only way to do it now. Augustus mistakenly thought that Ludwig had deliberately saved the province of Provence, and used the topic to publicize it in the outside world, and His Royal Highness's reputation would be ruined in one fell swoop.

As for Lina, perhaps keeping it as a bargaining chip would make the emperor happier.

"Your Highness, please allow me to go south with Knight Adelin."

A female voice broke the silence.

Lina knelt down on one knee, tears rolled down her face, but her voice was full of determination.

"If they are not citizens of Wallachia, I will join Knight Adelin to kill those who dare to impersonate. If they are... I can control them better, atone for their crimes, and help the empire quickly put down the rebellion. After that, whether it is execution or exile, I am willing to bear it with them."

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 42

"So His Highness agreed to Knight Adelin's request?"

Claude was dumbfounded.

"Yeah, my father promised to let them go to Provence alone, so I came to you and asked you to think of a way."

Christina looked anxious.

"So, what the princess means is that I hope I can help Miss Lina and Knight Adelin to solve this difficulty?"

Christina nodded seriously, while Claude held his chin and looked at Ludwig's eldest daughter with a strange expression.

"Why do you think I can do it, Your Highness? I'm just a 16-year-old student, and at most I have the title of Captain of the Long Knight, but my ability is completely meaningless in front of such a big thing."

Christina was speechless for a moment, then rolled her eyes slyly, and thought of a way.

"Isn't that in line with your character?"

Claude froze.

"What does it mean to fit my personality..."

"It's just like the hero of a knight novel, isn't that what you did before, this time you should of course follow Lina like the hero."

Christina is plausible.

The boy's face changed again and again. After receiving a report from the system that no one was peeping around, he brought his face closer to the princess, staring at her and began to back away unnaturally.

"You are, how do you know I'm acting?"

Claude's voice was calm without any fluctuations.

"It's just... so logical that it makes people feel strange." Her Royal Highness said hesitantly, "I don't know what you want to do, but I know you definitely don't want the image you have created to be dismantled, right?"

Claude narrowed his eyes: "Tell me why you doubt me, and where is the flaw, and I will help you save Miss Lina."

"real?!"

"real."

"It's your attitude. It's too unscrupulous. You have no respect for nobles and classes at all. You look at me in the same way as you look at others. You greet Your Highness, but you don't have any respect. Yes. Right? I can feel it."

Claude's face became serious. This is really his blind spot. After all, the environment formed by the three views is too different. It is difficult for him to remember to keep his etiquette, let alone his expression and eyes. Careful people can indeed notice this flaw.

"There's also the eyes. I didn't get along with you for nothing when I picked you up and dropped you off a few times. You can tell from the eyes that you are not interested in Lina and me, right. Then you did those things, right? For acting, so that everyone will believe that you are a real knight?"

Christina spoke slowly, and then smiled: "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone these things, so you don't have to worry about your acting being leaked. I wanted to find some more evidence, In the end, I didn't expect that something happened to Lina suddenly, so I had to say it all."

Claude nodded and stood up.

"You promised!"

"Don't worry, I have conditions. Since you have seen through my disguise, then naturally you don't have to act in front of you anymore. Therefore, we can communicate more sincerely."

Christina blinked: "Then let me ask you first, are you really loyal to my father?"

"Of course, if it weren't for me, His Highness the Third Prince would have slept in the mausoleum by now." Claude nodded, "I admit that I really didn't save His Highness because of my chivalry, but I also assure you, I There is absolutely no intention of murdering the third prince, I really just want to revitalize the family."

Christina just nodded thoughtfully. Of course she wouldn't believe what Claude said now, but what the other party said was indeed reasonable. Without him, it is indeed impossible for her father to be alive now.

"Then tell me about your conditions, and declare in advance that I will never do anything to harm my father."

Fair and stern words said.

"Please rest assured, I promise that not only will I not harm His Highness, but I will continue to help His Highness until His Highness ascends the throne."

Claude pointed to the princess, and then to himself.

"My condition is, next, I want you to provide me with information."

"intelligence?"
