Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 381: Grand Duke Freya

Is this the place where the father is being held?

Looking at the familiar palace in front of her, Princess Freya thought in her heart. She forcibly resisted the tremor in her heart and followed Richard's steps to the gate of the palace. On both sides of the gate stood two heavily armed swordsmen. They were expressionless, their eyes were indifferent, and only after seeing Richard, would they show a look of reverence.

"Your Majesty Caesar!"

"Duke Felicias staying honestly inside?" Richard asked one of the swordsmen.

"Your Majesty, the people inside are very honest. Except for making noises when eating, they are always quiet." The swordsman who was questioned respectfully reported, but judging from his slightly trembling body, it is an honor to be asked by the king himself. He was very excited.

"Very good." Richard nodded in satisfaction. He then pointed to the closed door and said: "Open the door and let our princess reunite with her father."

"Yes." As promised, the swordsman did not look at Freya without any extra eyes, and opened the door with his fellow robes. As the door opened, the furnishings inside were exposed to Richard's vision. The furnishings in Prince Felicias’s bedroom are unpretentious, which is in line with his savage Lasik bloodline in his bones. In fact, not only the furnishings in the hall, but even the Rotunlins Palace is full of the roughness of the Lasiks. The palaces of the Lasiks are not in the same style as the palaces of other countries on the Valdasia Peninsula. They can be said to be self-sufficient. The buildings in the Rotunrins Palace are basically scattered, and the buildings look like tents used by nomads (similar to yurts) from the outside, and the type of building also refers to the legend of the mother of the earth that they believe in-the main hall represents the earth The mother herself, and the small palaces and temples behind the main hall represent the twelve children of the Mother Earth.

After the palace door opened, Richard turned to look at the princess behind him. He smiled slightly and said, "Go in, Grand Duke Felicias is inside."

Listening to Richard's words, looking at the familiar furnishings, Freya hesitated. The temple door in front of her seemed like a big open mouth. As long as she entered, she would never be able to get out. There was something terrifying in it that made her dare not face it.

"What's the matter?" As if seeing Freya's hesitation, Richard asked softly. He had been away from Freya for a long time, and the heat he squirted when speaking even reached Freya's ears, making her face slightly faint. Hot.

"Nothing." Freya shook her head, then summoned the courage to take a step forward and walked towards the hall door step by step. Richard looked at her thin back from behind, as if he had also seen the heavy pressure on her shoulders. .

...

No one knows what Freya and Archduke Felicias were talking to. An hour later, Richard finally saw Freya walking out with red eyes, and he had cried in it at first sight. Chad was a little distressed, and hurried up to meet Freya's shoulders, and asked: "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Freya shook her head and said. Richard knew that she was concealing it deliberately, so he didn't continue to ask, so he took her out. Richard's residence was not in the Rotunrins Palace, he still lived in the hotel he had just arrived, so he took Freya to his place of stay.

On the carriage to the hotel, Freya cuddled beside Richard. Both of them did not speak, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very depressing. However, as the carriage was about to arrive at the hotel, Fu had been silent. Liya spoke suddenly.

"Your Majesty." She said, "Father knows what you want to do next, and he asked me to tell you. As long as you release my brothers and sisters, he will cooperate with you, publicly announce that you are in my position, and feel relieved to be Under house arrest in the palace."

Hearing that, Richard looked at Freya with a little surprise. Such blunt words really surprised him, but he changed his mind to the current situation of Archduke Felicias, even if he wanted to play any tricks. If it's useless, it's better to compromise and express yourself in the most straightforward terms.

Thinking of this, Richard thought for a while, and said: "It's not okay to release your brothers and sisters, but I need him to cooperate with me to pass the throne to you publicly, and swear like the gods of your faith will never participate in the fight. The seat of the Grand Duke."

"This..." Freya hesitated, she thought for a while, she still helped her father be the master when she gritted her teeth, and said: "We agree, but after that you must release them, otherwise we will open the transaction. content!"

"Puff." Freya's threat sounded very naive and ridiculous to Richard. He resisted the urge to laugh, pretending to be solemn, and said: "I swear to God that I will fulfill my promise."

At the end, he added another sentence in his heart: "But I don't believe in God. There is really no pressure for me to swear to God."

What Richard thought, Freya didn't know, she only knew that Richard, as a king of a powerful country, should be more reliable in his vows to the gods, so she was somewhat relieved-Frey Ya deserves to be a princess who has lived in the palace for a long time, silly and cute.

...

In the next week, the martial law was gradually lifted, and Freya’s succession ceremony was also busy preparing. The materials that were lacking due to the siege and martial law had to be transported from far away in the Kingdom of Winster, which not only took a lot of time. , And spent a lot of money, but no matter how difficult it was, under Richard's supervision, the succession ceremony was finally held half a month later, that is, September 25, 1119 in the mainland calendar.

With the full participation of Winster's army ~lightnovelpub.net~ Freya's succession ceremony was not destroyed. In fact, the civilians of Rostas City have long been scared by the vicious Winster army. They dare not want to make trouble, they can only take to the streets to cheer for the birth of the new grand duke. In addition to the participation of the civilians in Rostas City, the Lasik nobles in the areas controlled by the noble rebels were invited by Richard. Most of them wisely chose to cling to the very thick root of the Kingdom of Winster. Thighs, acknowledging Freya's legal status, only a few people who are not afraid of death refused to go to the appointment, and publicly claimed that Freya's dominant position was illegal intake, in other words, Freya is a despicable usurper.

Richard could only respond with a sneer in response to this discordant voice. After the succession ceremony was over the next day, Winster's army was ready to go, except for one to guard the city of Rostas. Two ways, all the way to the east, to attack the noble rebels, and the other way to suppress the nobles who made discordant voices, and persuade people with "morality".

Oh, those Freya’s brothers and sisters were also released by Richard who kept his promise, but he is not the kind of person with a big heart, he left a lot of people watching around these people, as long as they dare to do Things that are harmful to Richard, within three days, will violently die at home for various strange reasons. This is Richard's character, root out the roots!

And Archduke Felicias himself, along with his wife, was sent to Nord City by the wicked Richard, and lived in the towering Gabriel Tower.
