Time is getting closer and closer to the birth of **** Christ on December 25, and the people of the two countries are gradually filled with a festive atmosphere. A large number of materials have also been transported to Port Bell, where they will be transported by cargo ships to Kuban Island after transit. port.

At the same time, in order to make friends with the surrounding countries, Richard sent envoys to submit invitation letters to the rulers of almost half of the countries in the Valdasia Peninsula, inviting the kings of all countries to personally go to Kuban to participate in the participation of King Winster and Queen Lavana. Wedding.

This undoubtedly caused a great uproar. The deeds of King Richard of Winster spread through the footsteps of the bard in the past few months almost throughout the Vadasian Peninsula, even the holy Kuyavian Empire at the northernmost tip of the peninsula. What they have heard is that they don't care about it. After all, the countries of the Valdasia Peninsula to the south are not strong, and no matter how good they are, they cannot threaten the hegemony of the empire.

In the countries of the peninsula, there are many different attitudes towards Richard’s strong rise. Some people anticipate that Richard will do a lot in the future and want to take this opportunity to make friends with Richard. The people are frightened by Richard’s rising speed and do not want to engage with him. Some of them think that Richard’s development should be curbed to prevent a new hegemony from appearing on the peninsula. With their own different attitudes, countries have started to respond. They were either invited by the king himself or replaced by members of the royal family, and more people only sent envoys.

It is worth mentioning that both the Kingdom of Ramirez and the Duchy of Lasik, which were once defeated by Richard’s iron hoof, sent envoys to the invitation.

This will be a grand ceremony. Richard knows this very well. With so many foreign envoys invited at one time, he must work hard to stretch out the strongest fist of the kingdom and show it to him. them. As a result, Richard sacrificed his firearms. He temporarily transferred the arquebus and artillery troops to Kuban Island, and let the brand-new Praetorian Brigade undertake the guarding work of Kuban Island. The power of the kingdom is fully demonstrated-advanced firearms and elite knight brigade surpassing this world's technology can be completed.

Not only that, the Admiral of the Navy Sigurd will also command his fleet to patrol the waters around Kuban Island to ensure the safety of guests coming from the sea. After all, if someone is hurt on the way to the invitation, it will not only trigger a diplomatic battle between the two countries, but also damage Richard's prestige.

...

On December 20, 1112 of the Continental Calendar, Richard and Queen Stephanie arrived on Kuban Island. There, they were warmly welcomed by the local people, especially the residents of Nuremberg. These orthodox Germans offered their majesty Caesar. The highest level of welcome, they gathered on both sides of the Kuban port, dressed in full costumes, holding flowers, and looking at the young imperial emperor with the most fanatical eyes.

Yes, even if Richard’s declared title is only King of the Kingdom of Winster, in the eyes of all Germans, Richard will always be their supreme imperial Caesar. As Richard and Stephanie stepped off the ship, the Janitor brigade behind them also walked out of the deck with their heads high and looked at this steel legion, which was dressed in exquisite half-body armor and exuded a murderous atmosphere. All Germans They all uttered cheers. This is their army, the most elite knight force of the Holy Roman Empire!

Feeling the support from the people, Richard sighed in his heart. Although he hasn't been here for a long time, the people here still support him so much and support him desperately.

Not only the residents of Nuremberg welcomed the arrival of Richard and Stephanie, but also the refugees who were placed here by Richard a few years ago. After years of assimilation, they seem to have nothing to do with a real German. The difference is that the loyalty to Caesar in his heart is even more reluctant.

Surrounded by the people, Richard and Stephanie returned to Nuremberg. After seven years of development, the city has become a large city with a resident population of nearly 20,000. In this city, there is the world’s first large city. The church also has various complete infrastructures. The only drawback is that the city has no palaces, so Richard can only live in Brandenburg on the King's Hill.

...

At night, standing on the King’s Hill, Richard looked at Nuremberg at night. Since there is no curfew, the whole city is still brightly lit at night. The gathering of the little sparks is incredibly beautiful and spectacular. .

"It's been a long time since I came back."

It was Stephanie who approached from behind. She walked to Richard's side, stood and looked at the huge city on the Nuremberg Plain, with a nostalgic tone: "When I left a few years ago, this city was just It’s just a small town. I didn’t expect it to develop to this level in just a few years. It’s really a miracle from God."

"Yes, the speed of Nuremberg's development is beyond my expectation. Maybe it really is the city of God's blessing." Richard agreed. He then turned to look at Stephanie, his beautiful fiancée, and the sweetheart. His face was looming in the dark ~lightnovelpub.net~ There was light in his eyes.

"Stephanie, do you regret it?" he asked.

"Regret? Why do you regret it?" She was a little puzzled.

Richard did not answer, but looked at Stephanie’s face, and said to himself: “I sometimes think, if the rebellion didn’t happen seven years ago, my father would still be the King of Winster, and I’m just a Young prince, will our destiny be changed."

"I don't know." Stephanie shrugged, thought about it, and said, "If nothing happened, I might have married a nobleman in the kingdom early, just like Sophia."

"Like Sophia?" Richard nodded, Sufia's face suddenly appeared in his heart. A few years ago, before her father asked her to marry a nobleman in the kingdom, she ran to ask Richard if she would like it. She was willing to marry her, but Richard refused. It was also because of Richard's refusal that she was completely hopeless. She could only obey her father's arrangements and even met a young nobleman who had only met her once or twice before marrying her.

Thinking that Stephanie might have been treated like this, his heart tingled, and he subconsciously held Stephanie's soft hand.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"I don't know if I should be grateful to Zhu Ti'an, he changed your destiny, but he also killed my family and went into exile when he was young." Richard said. Upon hearing this, Stephanie chuckled softly: "Thank you or thank God, it is God who arranged our encounter."

As an atheist who is deeply educated in socialism, Richard will of course not be grateful to the so-called God. Instead of thanking God, he should be grateful to the system. It is with the aid of the system that he has achieved what he is today and can marry him. Beautiful exotic girl.
