Public trial?You deserve it too!

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

"What did you say, Your Highness?"

In the camp, Claude, who was kneeling on the ground on one knee, looked confused.

"I said, you are now my second daughter, Letitia's guardian knight." Ludwig seemed to have a suppressed smile on his face, "Didn't Christina tell you? She is stealing from my study This is the order written on the call-up order that came out."

"...Is that really His Highness's order?"

The boy's face twitched, and he held his forehead with a wry smile.

"It's really not, well, get up, I know you don't want to become a guardian knight, that will bury your strength, stay in the army and gain merits, that's what you want? The reason to help you suspend your studies, so you still have to be a guardian knight for a while."

Ludwig smiled and saw Claude looking a little at a loss. The boy had never shown such a look, but it aroused his smile.

"Don't worry, it's just a guardian knight. You still have four years to study at the Imperial Military University. Letitia will grow up by then. After the engagement, I will find an excuse to give you your guardian knight status." If you remove it, it won’t delay your enlistment after graduation.”

Claude could only nod in resignation. He really didn't expect this to happen. When Christina came to him for the second time, she said that everything had been settled, so he didn't ask any more questions. Thinking of breaking the game, how could there be any awareness of asking why they were recruited.

"His Royal Highness Christina... Just for this, you will have to help me take the blame a few more times in the future." '

The young man said with a forced smile that it was his honor, and that he would do his best to protect the safety of His Royal Highness Leticia.

"You still have to be mentally prepared. After all, you are the guardian knight of the princess. Your majesty has always loved my two daughters very much, so after returning to the imperial capital, the emperor will definitely summon you in the name of a formal allegiance ceremony.

Ludwig first threw out a bad news, and then smiled and told Claude that he had carefully prepared a good news for him.

"Originally, Lina also needs to see her, but after all, she has a special status. Your Majesty just sent a message from the Intelligence Bureau, saying that there is no problem. But if you want to go see Your Majesty, I will help you prepare for it before leaving the imperial capital." alright."

"Don't put too much pressure on me. It's definitely a good thing for you to face the saint this time. In addition to the title of guardian knight, the reward you saved me last time should also be given to you by the emperor this time. You don't need to be too careful, you can answer whatever His Majesty asks, and it is enough to leave a good impression, after all, with your strength, there will be more opportunities to make a difference in the future."

——Christina, you really don't think I'm too busy, do you?Do you know that I'm almost 007 to help your father, and you can still cause me such troublesome things!

Cloud felt his stomach cramp.

【You don't want to see the emperor? 】

"Of course I want to see the emperor, but it can't be now! Christina just exposed me about the eyes and class. If I talk about the attitude towards the privileged class, I can still pretend, but I am serious about the metaphysical things like eyes. There is no solution! Is it possible that the old emperor will never look into my eyes after going to the palace? Then I really don’t want to leave the palace alive!”

Claude thanked him with a surprised expression, while scratching his stomach thinking about how to fool him.

"However, the rebellion in the province of Provence is still too large. It may take some time before we return to the imperial capital. Now, although the biggest cancer of the Theocracy has been stripped off, and Aix has also fallen into our hands, it is still There are rebel activities in many places, and it is not an easy task to exterminate these people."

Ludwig sighed, but Claude's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence.

"Your Highness, I invite you to fight!"

In short, let's drag things down first!There is a way if you hold on firmly!

"Knight Claude? You just came back. You don't need to work so hard. You should rest for a while."

Ludwig was a little surprised, he didn't see that Claude was still a militant.

"Your Highness, I'm a young man, so I don't get tired so easily. I just saw the formation of the army at the gate of Aix, and I was so excited. Even if you order me to lie down and rest now, I can't do it. And Gore After all, Man and the others have just been incorporated into my command, and they still need to adapt to the battle in order to better improve their combat power."

The boy immediately expressed that he is in good health and can endure overtime work, and is very eager to work overtime, so as to continue to work overtime for the boss to ascend to the throne.

"And you should have heard from Adelin before, right? Gorman Knight has many subordinates who cannot stay in the barracks because of old injuries and lack of treatment, as well as age issues. He wants a piece of land to resettle them. Those people, although they have contributed to taking down the city of Exe, but after all, there are not a few of them, it is better to be able to get more meritorious deeds."

Ludwig nodded thoughtfully. It is true that those knights left the homeland controlled by the Theocracy because of their loyalty in their hearts, and wandered in the empire. In his opinion, such loyal ministers cannot Bleeding and tears.

"Okay, it's hard work for you, Knight Claude, let me prepare these things for them, and bring back more meritorious deeds, and I will give these knights a place to live."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Claude saluted and left the camp.

Just as he was leading his horse and was about to go back to find Gorman, he saw a familiar figure galloping into the camp.

"How could Lieutenant Colonel Siegfried be so impatient?"

He was a little puzzled watching the man go straight to Ludwig's camp, but guessed that the hole he dug should be verified by the senior intelligence officer.

"Then there should be no problem with this matter, let's deal with the matter of meeting the old emperor first—Christina! You can really cause me trouble!"

Claude sighed, and rode his horse towards the city of Aix.

The naive Princess of Verdun ignorantly took the blame for what her father had done.

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

"Your Highness!"

Although Siegfried was so impatient that he galloped his horse in the big camp, he didn't forget the rules or anything. He insisted on being notified calmly before entering Ludwig's camp. ,

"Lieutenant Colonel Siegfried, shouldn't you be examining the prisoners of the Theocracy? Why did you come back so soon?" Ludwig was a little puzzled.

"Your Highness, the problem now is not to examine the prisoners of the Church!" The man said solemnly, "I suspect—no, I'm sure that in the province of Provence, there is a black hand woven by nobles. The black hands are not only greedy for resource taxation and amassing huge wealth, they are even acting as pawns in the Theocracy's invasion!"

"What did you say? Say it again!" Ludwig yelled out in disbelief, and then realized his gaffe, and sat back on the chair, but the shock on his face still couldn't be erased.

"Your Highness, this time, the Theocracy was able to plant so many nails in the province of Provence that the rebellion became so massive that it caused the empire to lose an entire knight order. The reason is that someone is helping them cover it up. Otherwise, how would they send in a whole Knight Order? How could they possibly make the entire Lavender Knight Order available to them?"

"This……"

"Although we now know that the governor of Provence is a traitor, you should know that as a province's local knights, the governor cannot decide any of their actions! Most of the nobles must agree, Lavender Knights will be dispatched."

Siegfried spoke very fast, but spoke clearly, like a heavy hammer hitting Ludwig's heart.

"And Your Highness, do you know? Just after your knights broke the city, after the situation in Aix City was beyond recovery, these knights actually fought to the death with the knights who went to besiege them, and none of them chose to surrender! "

These words completely made Ludwig stand up from his chair.

"Only the Holy Order will do this! Even if they are traitors, as knights, they still have the opportunity to enter the punishment camp. It is impossible to fight to the last moment! Moreover, the Lavender Knights have not experienced it for decades. It's a big battle, I don't believe these knights can have this kind of fighting consciousness!"

Siegfried nodded solemnly.

"Then... what about those nobles in the city of Aix?" The third prince suddenly thought of a question.

"They were all locked in the dungeon, and no-any-any-one-person-was-executed-to-death!"

Siegfried said this sentence word by word.

"Bitter trick?" Ludwig had already sneered.

"However, it's still too much to spare your life. You should kill a few sacrificial flags, so that those who survive will definitely be compensated by the empire, and they will not arouse suspicion."

Siegfried also sneered.

"Maybe we broke the city too fast, and the other party didn't have time to react." Ludwig nodded, and then his face darkened. This matter is a bit too big.

"It should be our luck. This raid caught the other side by surprise. Otherwise, if it was a siege, we might not be able to discover the abnormal performance of the Lavender Knights. Maybe those nobles would find it after they reacted. If a few scapegoats are killed, then it is really foolproof."

Siegfried said this in a low voice.

"Yeah, we're lucky." Ludwig sighed, and then his eyes suddenly lit up as if remembering something.

"Speaking of which, the luck this time is also due to Knight Claude. Last time I survived, it was also because of good luck. The seriously injured Knight Adelin met Knight Claude, and I was able to recover from that attack. Get out of the way!"

Siegfried was startled, and then recalled the attack that still made his neck chill. It was because of Claude that he escaped the guillotine.

"It seems that Knight Claude can really bring good luck?"

The man shook his head in disbelief. Although this kind of statement was a little inconsistent with his status as a senior intelligence officer, Ludwig's words really moved him.

Could it be that Claude is really his and Ludwig's blessing?

The Wind Rises on Europa: Chapter 73 Chapter 71 System: This TM is something humans can think of

"Sure enough, it was right to let him do the fake show and become Leticia's guardian knight at that time."

Ludwig laughed, even with a bit of complacency on his face.

In fact, no matter what reason Christina wrote on the call-up order, this reason could not be established, because there was neither Ludwig’s imperial imperial seal nor the Imperial Army’s seal on the call-up order, so there was no reason at all. No effect.

This is also Claude's original plan. What he wants is such a useless call-up order. After all, let Christina secretly write a useless and real fake order, and ask Christina to secretly seal it. It is two completely different things to issue a fake real order.

The former can be said to be a prank by the little girl, while the latter is really a crime of deceiving the emperor.

The best part is that even though Christina came up with a fake order without a seal, the Imperial Military University will release them. After all, Claude is not an important person, but Christina is the daughter of His Royal Highness Ludwig. Well, this third prince is very popular now, instead of contradicting this Princess of Verdun, it is better to admit it with a pinched nose, and tell the third prince later, this is the way to avoid offense.

So Claude didn't care about what Christina would write on the call-up order, because he definitely couldn't go through the process of identification, he just wanted a reason, it was enough for him to keep his student status and leave the university, the other purpose was just Simply throwing the pot out.

But the reason Christina wrote just scratched Ludwig's itch.

Although Ludwig hadn't thought about inheriting the throne before, nor had he learned things that he didn't think would be useful in war, but since he was forced to come up, he had to behave well. What his brother said before He still remembers that even for the sake of his mother, he cannot show weakness.

So during this period of time, Jung made up for an imperial mind technique, a technique of controlling subordinates.Originally, Ludwig hated this kind of thing, but Jung said that the former could figure out His Majesty's intentions, and the latter could unite his subordinates. Even if he didn't want to use it, he must know it, so he pinched his nose and learned.

He doesn't like the emperor's mentality, but uniting his subordinates is very suitable for him. Jung asked him to take the initiative to win over some people's hearts. When he was wondering who to use to train his hands, the people from the Imperial Military University brought this fake call Order arrived.

This is really the best reason. With the appointment of the guardian knight, Claude will be completely imprinted with the influence of the third prince. Then, as he said, when Claude graduates, Leticia is probably engaged. It is also logical for the knight to leave, it will not affect his career in the army, and it can improve his identity and resume.

Ludwig praised his wit.

Originally, what Claude thought in his mind was that someone from the university met the third prince, and both sides laughed, and then Ludwig called Christina out to scold her twice, and everyone got along with it, so it was over, anyway. The princess is responsible, and he represents Ludwig's power. It is impossible to expel him. At worst, he will go back and get punished.

Then the two sides really laughed, and after Ludwig finished laughing, he slapped his big seal on it. Now both sides can save face, and even Christina doesn't have to be called out to preach a few words in person. So the appointment of the guardian knight was finalized, and only the world where Claude was injured was born.

So whether Princess Christina is the perpetrator or the victim is really difficult to determine (laughs).

"Congratulations, Your Highness. Knight Claude is straightforward and talented. He will definitely be a general under His Highness's command in the future."

Siegfried made a few compliments.

"Yeah, I'm lucky too."

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

"Gorman, pack up and apply for supplies, we are ready to go."

The fat man had just gathered the people together, and he was taken aback when he heard Claude's order.

"Let's go? Where are you going? Going back to the imperial capital now? Could something unexpected happen?"

"No, not to the imperial capital, but to quell the rebellion in other parts of the Provence province." Claude denied, "Didn't you keep saying that you wanted a piece of land as a reward to house your other subordinates? You have to understand, As a non-imperialist, this is actually very difficult, so if you want to achieve your goal, you must have a large enough credit to stop other people's mouths."

"Enough credit?"

The fat man froze for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Are you regretting it? Want to catch Julien back? Let me say something in advance, it's really difficult."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I mean that I personally re-installed the Theocracy's intelligence network before. I originally wanted to take them as the scapegoat, but it is not needed now. It is enough to have the nobles topping it. If this credit is given to you, Almost enough." Claude rolled his eyes and lowered his voice to explain to Gorman.

The fat man's face twitched again, and the spies he planted took the credit for pulling them out. He had never seen this kind of operation.

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

Gorman didn't ask any more questions, and only regarded it as the settlement allowance from Claude.

In fact, he has also figured it out now. With the backing of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau and Ludwig's two thighs, and the fact that the other party has a relationship with his own princess, maybe in the future the empire may really arrange to become Lina's husband.

Then why do I have to toss about, lie flat, and run errands behind others as a bachelor.Anyway, there is no hope of restoring the country, if I and others are used to allow His Highness to spend this life in peace, then there is nothing wrong with it.

As long as he and the knights lived long enough for Claude to feel useful, Gorman thought he had some experience in the matter of survival.

So on the night that the city of Aix was captured, the meritorious knight unit that opened the city gate was ready, and it would embark on a journey to conquer other regions the next day.

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

[You really don't need to stay in Exe City to supervise your plan to develop more smoothly along the direction you want? 】

"No need, there can be no more accidents in this matter. Besides, there are people who are familiar with the 'noble character of Knight Claude' in and outside the city of Aix. I can't do it, because once I do it, it will be completely inconsistent with my past conduct, and I must not arouse anyone's suspicion now, so I have always been indifferent to such things that are not worth the candle."

Claude lay in the room he was assigned to, closing his eyes and meditating.

"And there is really no need for supervision. My goal has been achieved. Isn't it enough for Siegfried to target those nobles? Otherwise, it would be good for me to lock them up in the dungeon." What are you doing, now is the time for them to pay the bill."

[Although it is a bit of an afterthought now, I always feel that your guidance to the Imperial Intelligence Bureau this time has a bit heavy traces in the language. If it was you before, you would choose a more secure and concealed method, such as letting Zieg Fried himself found out about the abnormal casualties of the Lavender Knights, so it would be more logical, right? 】

"Very good, you've made rapid progress, and you've reached the point of inferring other cases from one instance." Claude raised his eyebrows and praised proactively. "However, it's still a bit superficial to see things—this time I took the initiative to talk to Siegfried, of course, to grab credit and sell him well."

【Grabbing merit and... selling well? 】

"Hahaha, this matter is not as dangerous as it seems, the reason is very simple, because Siegfried will definitely put the blame on these nobles' heads, make a shocking case, and then stop it abruptly, it is impossible Keep digging down."

【why? 】

"Why? The reason is very simple, because of me."

Claude smiled a little happily.

"Originally, the incident in the province of Provence was not worth mentioning at all. The mud-legged revolution, they should be used to it, but I got involved, especially at the beginning when I didn't know the Theocracy. After thinking about it a bit more, this matter is already big enough to pierce the sky."

Claude stretched, turned himself over, and lazily initiated a conversation.

"Well, this matter is just a quiz in class. I will ask you to answer, and I will explain this matter for you by the way. It is entertaining and educational."
