On the morning of April 1, 1126 in the continental calendar, the bells of the Nord Cathedral were ringed by the priest as usual. The dull and long bells spread around and quickly rang over the entire city.

After the bell ended, the priests' prayers soon sounded in Nord Cathedral. Residents in various parts of the city also left their warm homes and took to the streets, busy for a day's livelihood. The Nordisk Royal Academy and the Military Academy also rang the class bells, and a large number of uniformly dressed academies shuttled around the campus and walked to their respective classrooms. Among them were nobles and civilians from all over the kingdom, as well as students from foreign countries. However, some of these foreign students have become citizens of the Kingdom of Winster in a sense because of the end of the war.

In the Palace of Ippolito, Richard had already woke up from his sleep. He wore luxurious clothes and a heavy gold crown under the clothes of a servant. The whole person exuded the coercion of a superior person. The servants around did not dare to get too close.

On the wide velvet bed, Stephanie looked at her husband with a smile. Since her marriage for more than ten years, she seldom saw Richard formally wearing the royal court clothes and the heavy crown. Richard said that he didn't like it. Such cumbersome clothes, and I don't like to wear such heavy things, so I usually do it to show people, but today is different, it is the day of the Nord meeting.

After waving his hand to let the servants leave, Richard paced up to Stephanie. He looked at the wife who had lived with him for more than ten years. Her face was still beautiful, but there were some wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, although she usually The maintenance is very good, but after all, it is no match for the passage of time.

"Am I good-looking today?" Richard looked at Stephanie dozingly, and asked softly.

Stephanie only felt the brilliance of the man in front of her, and the light radiating from him made her want to close her eyes. She blinked her eyes and said, "It looks like a peacock on Zane."

"Heh~" Richard chuckled. He heard Stephanie's other meaning, stretched out his hand and gently squeezed his wife's face, and said, "I will pack you when I come back tonight."

"Then I am waiting for you." Stephanie said without fear, facing his gaze. Richard angrily retracted his hand and touched his nose. His majesty as a king could not be felt in front of Stephanie. , It must be that he spoiled her too much.

"You go quickly, don't let those messengers wait for you too long." Stephanie gave him a push and urged.

Richard raised his brows, glanced at her slyly, and said, "You kiss me first, and I'll go after you kiss me."

Stephanie was taken aback by his frank expression of affection, her face blushed, and she tweeted how to marry for more than ten years is still this virtue, but she still obediently tapped on his lips, and then pushed him away. .

The successful Richard smiled and touched his nose, and then strode out of the dormitory. When he got out of the dormitory, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. Instead, it was as cold as an iceberg. Seeing him walking out, the two standing outside The Guardsmen looked at each other and followed them.

In the hall of the Palace of Ippolito, envoys from various countries gathered together. Each of them was assigned to a seat. In order to prevent disputes, the palace supervisor also carefully staggered the hostile countries and warring countries, but this was of no use. , Although the positions are staggered, they can still fight in the air with their eyes.

The whole hall was noisy, and envoys from various countries were discussing the purpose of King Winster’s convening this meeting. No one would have cerebral palsy to think that Richard wanted to massacre all these envoys. Most people vaguely guessed Richard’s. Intent-He wants to become the overlord of the Valdasia Peninsula.

This is obvious. The Kingdom of Winster has won the encirclement and its influence is at its peak. In addition, the most opposed force on the Valdasia Peninsula has been destroyed. What remains is a small country with scattered sand. These small countries are fundamental to the Kingdom of Winster. It does not constitute a threat. Richard even sends two legions to the south, and the southern countries will voluntarily surrender.

In addition to Richard’s intentions, there was another matter discussed by the envoys, and that was the refusal of the invitation of the Ansmara Republic. The Ansmara Republic was in the Principality of After the conquest of the Winster army, it was demoted to a duchy. Its duke was Richard Bono, the original commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Second Army. This man was canonized by Richard because he was the main commander of the conquest war. To the north of the local duke) is a fairly powerful country. They also established several colonies on the mainland of Zane, which belonged to the first colonial country on the Valdasia Peninsula.

Because of the unique political system of the Ansmara Republic, the relationship between the country and the surrounding monarchies is not very good, which may be one of the reasons why they rejected Richard's invitation.

...

Amid the discussion of the messengers, Richard dressed in costumes and a group of guards armed with flintlocks walked into the hall. Seeing the Lord today appeared, the messengers stopped talking and got up to welcome Richard.

When he walked to the main seat, Richard looked at the heads underneath with a smile on his face, and said: "It's an honor to be here with all the messengers. I am the king of the Kingdom of Winster and the Kingdom of Lavana, Richard De Stuart."

Then, he stretched out his hands and pressed down, and the envoys of various countries also sat down and looked at the young powerful monarch on the main seat.

Although some of them are hostile to Richard and the Kingdom of Winster, they have to admit that, looking at the history of the Valdasia Peninsula, Richard is unprecedented at such an age to make such a great achievement. Of those who came, he was the only one who was able to fight such a huge territory from an outcast prince exiled from another country, and possess an almost invincible army.

Feeling the gaze from all sides~lightnovelpub.net~ Richard has long been accustomed to it. He is still smiling, with thin lips, and said: "Emissaries, I invite you to visit Nord City and participate in this meeting. The reason, I think you must be very curious."

"The reason is very simple. The Vadasya Peninsula has been divided for hundreds of years. Countries have attacked each other, and countless creatures have been smashed. Faced with the invasion of the holy Kuyavian Empire and the Khigu barbarian in the north, they can only fight separately, and ultimately fail. In the sea of ​​pirates, looting and looting merchant ships, even warships dared to take the initiative to attack, it is extremely rampant, but all countries have no choice but to let the pirates continue to be active."

"I, Richard Stuart, as the king of the United Kingdom of Winster-Ravana and the monarch of the most powerful country in the entire Valdasia Peninsula, want to put an end to the current chaos. So I hope to be able to Convene envoys from various countries to come and discuss together."

"Solve the chaos? How to solve it?"

"It sounds good, but the main battles on the peninsula have the presence of the Kingdom of Winster..."

"It's best to solve pirates..."

All the whispers from the people below reached Richard's ears, his brows were slightly frowned, but he quickly let go, after considering it, he would continue to speak.
