The King of Knights in a Different World
Chapter 160
"I understand.
You must take good care of your body."
"I will."
After Louis waved goodbye, Marie and Dion got into the carriage together.
The carriage slowly left the city in the sight of everyone.
no.240 The same person in the eyes of different people
On the plains of southern Britain, this is the season of autumn harvest.The farmers are harvesting their rich crops, and their faces are full of joy.
On the main road leading to the royal city, a team of more than 400 people in a team is slowly advancing.This team is the French envoy.
Originally, there were 130 natives of France, plus 300 escorts who came to Britain, and a total of 430 people were 430.
Except for...a few dozen servants, most of them are elite knights.
Considering that France had sent Dion on this side, Saint George and Lungominiad sent Ziegfei as the **** leader after discussing it, and reported it.
So such a mixed team appeared.
As the leader of the Dragoon regiment, Dion was actually very surprised by Ziegfei's guard.
After all, no matter how you think he comes here as a guard, there is a feeling: the feeling of being a small man, especially when reporting a princess from an enemy country.
For Ziegfried, this is a task, no different from many previous tasks.
His mentality is very calm.
After a few days of walking silently, they were continuing on the road in the morning of another day.
However, at this time, it may have been seen a lot along the way, and at the same time, I felt that what I saw was a little different from what I had imagined.With a curious mind, Mary opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Ziegfei by the carriage.
"The experience along the way is completely different from what I heard. This territory ruled by the Grand Duke of St. George gives people a sense of wealth and stability.
Is there any key here, General Zieger?"
Before coming here, Mary heard that the most in Britain is...the people are not living, the king is willful, and then...the people are dying almost every day, and everyone is living in anxiety and fear.
But after coming here, she found out that the people here seemed to have no fear.
The soldiers didn't say anything, and ordinary people had no fear at all.
Because of such doubts, she also had questions about what other people had told her before that the lives of Britons were not as good as French.
However, she didn't know how her civilians were doing, and it was not easy to compare them.
``Your Royal Highness, this land is not the domain of Marshal Joeljos, or the whole of Britain is the domain of the king.
In this land, the once aristocrats no longer have the autonomy of the land.
If the princess wants to ask the key, maybe this is the key."
Siegfried corrected Mary's mistake while also expressing his own opinions.
"Hey! No!"
Facing Mary's doubts, Dion also slowed down and answered.
"His Royal Highness, Britain has undergone the reform of the Knight King and has cancelled many noble privileges.
This is different from France.
All officials on this land were directly appointed by the inner court of the King of Britain.
Although there are nobles in this country, they are more of a symbol of reputation.
It's like Earl Siegfried in front of him. Although he is only an earl, he has the power that many marquis envy."
There are many generals like Siegfried in Britain. They are not high in titles, but they have real power.
A situation like this is almost invisible in France, not even in places like Roman Rose.
In these countries, title equals status and power.
But in Britain, reputation and status are actually separated from power.
"This is all from the trust of the king, and I can only respond to the king's expectations by being mediocre."
Siegfei said very modestly at this time.
"General Zieger is too humble, that battle is enough to prove your ability."
Dion smiled and said.
He did not participate in the previous war. When he heard about it, the French army had been surrounded by the Rhine, and then the war ended quickly.
The most dazzling person in the competition is undoubtedly Lucifer, but Siegfried is also one of the main pursuits.
"Has General Zieger participated in that battle more than two years ago?"
Mary looked at Ziegfei with some curiosity.
The war was too far away for her, and she was just listening to the story.
"Yes, I am a participant in the search war.
I am a little ashamed to say that because of my carelessness in that battle, the White Rock Fortress was lost.
In the end, if it weren't for Wang to arrive in time, I might not survive now."
Facing Ziegfei calmly, Dion was a little at a loss instead.
He felt whether he had said something wrong.
For a while, I didn't know how to go on, after all, how to look at him now is a little gloating.
"..."
When Dion was silent, Mary spoke bluntly.
"I always feel that General Ziegfeld is too modest as a knight, even too modest...
However, because of this, General Zieger is more like a knight."
"Compared to the king, as a knight, I am still far behind.
Previously in a small town in Orleans, all the residents of the town were bewitched by evil people and wanted to burn a pair of innocent girls.
At that time, I almost believed them, thinking that the sisters were the evil people.
But Wang saw through everything from the beginning.Even if one person faced a thousand people, he still insisted on the spirit and justice of the knight.
Compared with Wang, I still have a lot to learn."
Speaking of this, Qigefei's expression is a bit guilty.
Many times, he had thought that if he hadn't had Lucifer at the time, he might have made an irreparable mistake.
Siegfei's unintentional words aroused Dieng's interest.
"Orleans, sister... is that... the sisters of the King of Britain in the harem?"
He asked tentatively.
As an upright knight, Siegfried didn't think there was any rudeness in this.
He also satisfied the other's curiosity.
"Yes it is."
When she got this answer, Mary's eyes lit up, and she asked curiously.
"I heard that they were supposed to be French. Looking at it this way, can you say that His Majesty the Knight King actually doesn't hate them.
French"
In fact, it is not just Mary, but in Dion's view, Lucifer should be a king like Pepin, who has a deep resentment towards the enemy country.
"I cannot answer this question for your Majesty.
If you were to ask me that, I would say, yes.
Your Majesty doesn't hate it.
The French, or, in the eyes of His Majesty, there is no essential difference between the French and the British.
They are all human beings, and your majesty’s eyes have long surpassed me."
He didn't look at people from different countries with narrow eyes, and didn't give special eyes to people from different countries.
Instead, he looked at everything with a fair look.This is where Siegfried admired Lucifer the most.
If this is not the case, the French people in that small town have probably been put to death, instead of relying on the fortress's wages to rebuild their country.
After all, Joan is now the princess.
Of course, even in the small town where Joan was born, Lucifer did not give them any special attention, but was impartial like many other small towns.
"Sounds like a great king"
Mary murmured.
"On this point I am absolutely sure."
"I was a little worried before, but when I heard that Mr. Siegfried, the knight who sincerely praised the king, I now look forward to meeting him."
Having said that, Ziegfei didn't say anything.
no.241 War and Monkey
In the main hall of the British Council, Mary is standing quietly in the middle of the main hall at this moment.
She has... long white hair with a beautiful face, matched with the dress, people can't help but feel pity for her.
Just like France's previous predictions, in the face of such a princess, there are probably few people who have the heart to embarrass her.
Well, at least many of those who were eyeing the new messenger because of the previous events were relieved of their hostility.
In any case, France's goal is also achieved.
No one was embarrassed, Mary and Dion quickly stated the goal of this mission.
This time they not only brought the previously scheduled indemnity, but also added an extra 10,000 gold coins.
Of course, this gold coin comes from all the nobles in France, ten ten per person.
In fact, another part has been collected by Piping.
Their purpose is very clear.On the surface, the two countries have been repaired, but in fact they want Lucifer to transfer the southern legion back to the part, and at the same time let Lungominiad and Arian Hurd return to the king city.
"This time France finally sent someone who can speak clearly, not the monkey before.
Taking this opportunity, I once again declare that I don't like monkeys.
That kind of stuff only makes people feel funny, not cute."
On the throne, Lucifer said softly with a smile.
"Marquis Rolle, they are not monkeys."
At this time, Mary subconsciously defended her country's nobles.
"Isn't it that Princess Mary recognized their status as messengers?"
In response, Lucifer asked with interest.
At this time, Mary hadn't realized what Lucifer's words meant.
She just subconsciously insisted on her own ideas.
"Yes!"
Just as Mary had finished speaking, Dion felt a little bad.
Because the people around saw some changes in their eyes, the previous goodwill seemed to have disappeared, replaced by a playful look.
Dieng had thought that the princess knew something about diplomacy, so the king sent her over.
But now it seems that he is too naive.
"His Royal Highness, speak carefully!"
