"Compared with Bandak, who has the second-ranked succession, you are not a direct member of the Carrera family. The blood flowing in your body is the Stuart family from the Kingdom of Winster. For the Lavannes In other words, you are just a foreigner, and the country is ruled by foreigners. I believe that many people will be more inclined to make Bandak, who already has the right to inherit legally, become the new king, even though Bandak is a despicable usurper."

"Then what should I do?" Listening to Kondela's explanation, Richard suddenly felt that things became tricky. He had never thought of this kind of problem before. What if the domestic nobles didn't buy him? After all, he was just the grandson of the former king, a prince who had come from a foreign country in exile.

"There is only one way." Kondela took a step forward and looked into Richard's sight. "In the name of Princess Stephanie, crusade against Bandak. There is no law in the Kingdom of Lavana that does not allow female royals to inherit the throne, so She is fully qualified to inherit the throne. Compared to Bandak, who launched a civil war to usurp the throne, the nobles are more able to accept the succession of the former king's sons."

Sir Frank on the side quickly understood what Condra meant, and he added: "After Princess Stephanie inherits the throne, your majesty can marry her and control the Kingdom of Lavana."

"That's right." Kondela glanced at Sir Frank with appreciation, and then at Richard: "After you marry Princess Stephanie, you are the king of the Kingdom of Lavana. The kingdom has revenge and retakes the throne that should belong to you."

"At that time, you will rule the Kingdom of Winster, and Princess Stephanie will rule the Kingdom of Lavana. A powerful United Kingdom will dominate the Valdasia Peninsula under your leadership."

"The United Kingdom?" Richard couldn't help but smile. It was a big picture, but he didn't know the success rate of this plan.

"I will take your suggestion, Condra." Richard said. He then changed the conversation and shifted the issue to the next war: "We have entered the Ma Fujia special leader, the local lord McPherson He is an out-and-out coward. In every war, he will assemble a heavy army in his hometown to build Mattidoud city stronger than a tortoise's shell.

But God bless him, this time he led the army to join Bandak and went to fight with his new master to Ravana City. Now the defense of Ma Fugat is empty, and we can pass here without any scruples. "

"Of course, we will not let the traitors of the kingdom who take refuge in the Bandak rebels have a better life, Commander Arvid and Frank Knight." Richard said, naming the two lieutenants: "You two Lead the cavalry to attack, attack the rebels left behind in various towns and villages, and levy the food and grass that the army needs to consume."

"Understand, Your Majesty." The two agreed in unison.

Then Richard continued: "We can't spend too much time in Mafugat. We must arrive at the foot of Lavana while Bandak is not firmly established in Lavana. Kondra, before you set off. We must send envoys to announce the intentions and goals of our army to the whole country, and contact the nobles who are still loyal to the old king, so that they will express their solidarity even if they do not send troops to provide assistance."

"Understood, Your Majesty." Condra nodded, then he remembered something and reminded: "Your Majesty, I think you need to discuss with Princess Stephanie first..."

...

After the military meeting was over, Richard took a few guards to find Stephanie, but she was not in the camp. After some inquiries, the knights guarding Stephanie told Richard that Her Royal Highness ran nearby Relax in the woods.

? ? ?

It's okay to go to the grove to relax.

Richard can understand Stephanie's feelings now, but he came here after the loss of his mother and father when he was young, and he has a deeper understanding of the grief of losing his father than anyone else.

Soon, under the guidance of the knights, Richard came to the woods where Stephanie was. He saw the girl sitting under the big tree at a glance. She sat there quietly, staring blankly. Ahead, even if the fallen leaves fell on his body, there was no response.

Richard sighed slightly, his movements slowed down, and slowly sat beside her, and said to himself: "When I was 15 years old, General Zhu Tianan, who used to be very good to me, rate The army rebelled and attacked the palace under the help of a traitor. When the Guards resisted the rebels, my father and king shook my hand and said:'Richard, you are the only heir to the kingdom and my only child. Remember, you must live and take revenge on Zhu Ti'an when you grow up.' It is precisely because of his words that let me stick to it and let me go where I am today.

Stephanie, my dear cousin, you are the only son of Uncle Lawrence who can avenge him. If you don’t cheer up and avenge him, who can avenge him? Is it just the young prince captured by Bandak in Ravana? "

"No~lightnovelpub.net~Only I can avenge my father." Stephanie turned to look at Richard. Her moving eyes were no longer the usual agility, shone with hatred, but they were very colorful. As the dimming faded, she slowly lowered her head and made a low and unwilling voice: "But, I'm just a princess, I don't have anything. The only force I have is the knights that my father and king assigned to me. ..."

"Who said you have nothing?" Richard interrupted her aloud. He stretched out his hand and took Stephanie's trembling body into his arms, and said in a low but determined tone: "You still have me. , You still have thousands of brave Cuban soldiers. We will be your strong backing and the capital for your revenge against Bandak."

"You..." Stephanie was startled and looked up at Richard. Before she could say anything, Richard's mouth (harmonious) was posted up and she blocked her mouth. After a while, he Gasping and separating from Stephanie, without waiting for the latter to speak, said: "Remember that Uncle Lawrence asked me six years ago if I would like to marry you. Now I can tell you that I do."

"You..." Stephanie just looked at Richard like that. After a long time, she nodded and said: "I understand, but after taking back the city of Ravana and killing Bandak, I will be with you. marry."

"As the new queen of the Kingdom of Ravana." Richard said.

"As the new queen of the Kingdom of Ravana." Stephanie nodded and repeated.

At this moment, Stephanie instantly understood Richard’s intentions, but she did not clarify that Richard wanted to use her third-ranked succession status to declare war on Bandak and control the Kingdom of Lavana. Doesn't she want to use Richard's army to avenge the usurper?
