The knight king of the otherworldly moon

"I understand.

You must take good care of your body."

"I will."

With 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, it was the autumn harvest season, and the peasants were reaping their plentiful crops with joy on their faces.

On the main road leading to Wangcheng, a convoy of more than 1 people is slowly advancing. This convoy is the French envoy.

原本法兰西的130130位本国人加上来到不列颠的护送300人300护送队伍,一共430人430.

Except...a few dozen servants, most of them are elite knights.

Considering that France had sent Dion, St. George and Lungomiard discussed with him and sent Siegfried as the escort commander and reported it.

So such a mixed team came into being.

As the leader of the Dragoons, Dion was actually very surprised by Siegfried's escort.

After all, no matter how you look at him coming here as a bodyguard, there is a feeling of being a small person, especially when the report is still a princess of an enemy country.

For Ziegfeld, this is a mission, not unlike many of the previous ones.

His mind was very calm.

After walking without words for a few days, they were on their way again early in the morning.

However, at this time, she may have seen a lot along the way, and at the same time, she felt that what she saw was a little different from what she imagined. With curiosity, Mary opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Siegfried who was beside the carriage.

"What I saw and heard along the way was completely different from what I heard. This territory ruled by the Grand Duke of St. George gives people a feeling of wealth and stability.

Is there anything in it, General Siegfried?"

Before she came here, Mary had heard that the most things in Britain were...the people were struggling, the king was willful, and then...the people were dying almost every day, and everyone was living in uneasy fear.

But after coming here, she realized that the people here don't seem to be afraid.

The soldiers didn't say anything, and the common people had no fear at all.

Because of such doubts, she also had doubts about what other people told her before, that the life of the British is not as good as that of the French.

However, she didn't know how her civilians were doing, and it wasn't easy to make comparisons.

"Your Royal Highness, this land is not the territory of Marshal Georgios, or in other words, the whole of Britain is the territory of the king.

In this land, the former nobles no longer have the autonomy of the land.

If Her Royal Highness wants to ask the key, maybe this is the key."

Siegfried corrects Mary's mistakes, and at the same time expresses his own opinion.

"Oh! No!"

Facing Mary's doubts, Dion also slowed down to answer the question.

"His Royal Highness Mary, Britain has been reformed by the knight-kings, and the privileges of many nobles have been abolished.

This is different from France.

All officials in this land were appointed directly by the inner court of the King of Britain.

Although there are nobles in this country, they are more a symbol of honor.

Just 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, who are not high in title, but have real power.

And things like this are hardly seen in France, not even in places like Roma Rus.

In these countries, title equals status and power.

But in Britain, honor and status are actually separate from power.

"This all comes from the king's trust. Only mediocrity can I do my best to respond to the king's expectations."

Siegfried said very modestly at this time.

"General Siegfried is too humble, that battle is enough to prove your ability."

Dion said with a smile.

He did not participate in the previous war, and when he heard that the French army had been surrounded by the Rhine, the war ended so quickly.

The most dazzling person in the competition is undoubtedly Lucifer, but Siegfried is also one of the main forces in the pursuit.

"Did General Siegfried also take part in the war more than two years ago?"

Mary looked at Siegfried curiously.

The war was too far away for her, and she was just listening to stories.

"Yes, I am a participant in the Second World War.

I'm a little ashamed to say that, because of my carelessness, the White Rock Fortress was lost in that battle.

In the end, if Wang hadn't arrived in time, I might not be alive now."

Faced with Ziegfei's calmness, Dion was a little overwhelmed.

He felt that he had said the wrong thing.

For a while, I didn't know what to say, after all, no matter how he looked at him, he was a little gloating now.

"..."

When Dion was silent, Mary spoke bluntly.

"I always feel that General Siegfried is too modest as a knight, and it can even be said to be too modest...

But that's what makes General Siegfried 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 to death.

At that time, I almost believed them, thinking that the sisters were the evil ones.

But Wang saw through everything from the very 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 which, Siegfried's expression was a little guilty.

Many times, he had thought that if he didn't have Lucifer at that time, he might have made irreparable mistakes.

Siegfried's inadvertent words aroused Dion's interest.

"Orleans, sisters..., are...the sisters in the harem of the King of Britain now?"

he asked tentatively.

As a righteous knight, Siegfried didn't think there was anything rude about it.

He also satisfied the other's curiosity.

"Yes."

After getting this answer, Mary's eyes lit up, and she continued to ask curiously.

"I heard that they were originally supposed to be French. Looking at it this way, can it be said that His Majesty the King of Knights does not dislike it.

French"

In fact, it's not just Marie, in Dion's view, Lucifer should be a king like Pepin, who has a deep dislike for the enemy country.

"I cannot answer this question for His 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 Britons.

They are all human, and His Majesty's eyes have already surpassed those of us."

We do not look at people from different countries with narrow eyes, nor do we give special eyes to people from different countries.

Instead, he looked at everything with a fair gaze, which was what Siegfried admired most about Lucifer.

If not, the French' in that small town would have been executed, instead of rebuilding their country now relying on the wages of the fortress.

After all, Joan is now a princess.

Of course, even in the small town where Joan of Arc came from, Lucifer didn't give them any special attention, but was just as impartial as he treated many other small towns.

"Sounds like a great king"

Mary murmured.

"That's the only thing I'm absolutely sure of."

"I was a little worried before, but when I heard Mr. Siegfried, the king who all the knights sincerely praised, I now look forward to meeting him."

Having said that, Siegfried said nothing.

no.241 war and monkeys

In the main hall of the British Court, Mary was standing quietly in the center of the hall at the moment.

She has... long white hair and a beautiful face, and with the dress, people can't help but feel pity for her.

Just like the prediction from the French side, in the face of such a princess, probably few people would 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, the goal on the French side can be considered to be achieved.

No one was embarrassed, Mary and Dion quickly described the mission's goal.

This time, they not only brought the previously scheduled indemnity, but also added [-] gold coins.

Of course, this gold coin comes from all the nobles in France, ten 10 per person.

In fact, some other parts were taken as existing by Pepin.

Their purpose is very clear, on the surface, the two countries are repaired, but in fact, they want Lucifer to transfer the southern legion back to part, and at the same time let Lungominiad and Arian Hed return to the royal city.

"This time, the French side finally sent a person who can speak clearly, not the monkey before.

Taking this opportunity, I reiterate that I don't like monkeys.

That kind of stuff just feels funny, not cute."

On the throne, Lucifer said softly with a smile.

"Marquis Rolle, they are not monkeys."

At this time, Mary subconsciously defended the nobles of her own country.

"Isn't that saying that Princess Mary is acknowledging their status as messengers?"

In this regard, Lucifer asked with interest.

At this time, Mary didn't realize what Lucifer's words meant.

She just subconsciously sticks to her own ideas.

"That's right!"

Just as Mary finished speaking, Dion felt something was wrong.

Because the eyes of the people around them have changed, the previous goodwill seems to have disappeared, replaced by a playful look.

Dion had thought that the princess had some knowledge of diplomacy, which is why the king sent her here.

But now it seems that he is too naive.

"Your Highness, Princess, be careful!"
