The knight king of the otherworldly moon

However, even taking Rome into account, the worst outcome would be an equal share of Ross with Rome."

Of course, this is just an optimistic guess.

Judging from the current situation, Rome's overall strength is stronger than that of Britain. If they send troops together, Rome will definitely occupy more territory than Britain. Then, Britain will also guard against Rome's northern offensive.

During this period, if there is any accident, such as the fall of Rome, the situation in Britain will become worse.

However, even so, Lucifer's strategy still shocked Ekaterina.

"...what about the other two strategies?"

She thought for a moment and asked.

"Central policy, take the initiative to intervene in Ross's war in a supportive way, and at the same time support an agent that I can control, and take Ross into his hands in a justifiable way."

Facing Lucifer's words, Ekaterina keenly discovered the problem.

"But you don't guarantee that your agent will complete obedience."

The king of one country, even if he is just a puppet pushed up, will not be willing to be the lackey of another country.

More often, he will feel like the real king and start to inflate himself.

"The temptation of kingship is the sweetest poison in the world, more intoxicating than women and money, no one will be willing to subdue, this is the inevitable result.

But there will be a buffer period, I will let him fire at Rome with all his strength in the name of revenge, and even if Ross is finished, I can go north and Rome will take care of me flawlessly."

Lucifer naturally understood the trouble.

no.358 do you want to be king

If you want to support a king, you need many conditions.

Once it gets out of control, there is a backup plan, but if it is just a one-time consumable, the way it is used will be completely different.

However, even so, there may be cases where the tail is not too large.

"Such a strategy is only a middle strategy. Can I understand that the risks involved are far beyond your control."

Ekaterina said after thinking for a moment.

"almost.

After all, even if a puppet has Ross, it can't bring too much trouble to Rome, and it may make him lose sight of himself."

Supporting foreign puppets is different from domestic ones. Even if they are like Cao Cao who rely on the emperor to make the princes, at least they have to stay by the emperor's side for a long time, otherwise the emperor will cause trouble, not to mention the distance from abroad.

"What about the best policy?"

"The best policy! The easiest way is to find a successor of Thunder Emperor and let him take the top position and continue the previous strategy.

If this is not the case, Ross will be defeated sooner or later under the threat of Rome."

"Ross doesn't have a second Thunder Emperor."

"That's right! Ross doesn't have a second Thunder Emperor, and there won't be a second Thunder Emperor.

So, Ekaterina, if you want anything from me for your husband, you can go back now."

Speaking of which, Lucifer directly indicated his intentions.

His words made Ekaterina's heart sink.

Originally, she was confident that she could win Lucifer's support, but now she got this result.

"Why?"

"It's very simple! I have seen your husband Peter himself. In my eyes, he is just a waste of indulging in enjoyment. He is not a candidate in my mind at all, even if he is a puppet."

Lucifer's words at the moment showed no sympathy at all.

Even if you are a puppet, you must at least understand your own self-knowledge of your situation, but that person obviously doesn't.

Maybe he could just find a noble lady to blow the air, and he would just go astray.

This kind of person can't be used for anything at all.

"..."

"I hope what I just said didn't hurt you, ma'am.

If nothing else, the strategy of coming to see me is not from his own hands, but is your private decision, Madam."

Lucifer got up and slowly came to Ekaterina's side.

"You really can't hide anything from your eyes.

Yes, it's my private decision.

Since His Majesty is so frank with me, I don't want to hide anything, Ross's current situation makes me feel dangerous."

"Perhaps you should say, very dangerous.

When Lei Di was alive, Anna had been assassinated several times. Now that Lei Di is gone, no one knows what the royal family and nobles will do.

In the coming era, you can only go against the current, and you will die if you don't fight, and there is no second choice."

If Yekaterina was just an ordinary noble, she could choose to escape or be neutral. As long as it did not affect the overall situation, no matter who became the king in the end, her status would not change much.

But the problem is that she is Peter's wife and they will definitely be killed by Xin Wangge if they don't take the initiative to fight for her.

In other words, the new king can only be added by stepping on other people's corpses.

Thinking of what happened to Anna, their final fate is not difficult to guess.

"Your Majesty means that if you are applying for asylum, will you refuse?"

Ekaterina asked tentatively.

Yes, she felt threatened.

She came here precisely because she might have died in an assassination attempt.

"Not now, I welcome Anna's relatives to come and take refuge.

But ma'am, are you sure you want to do this.

You are not my queen after all, once Ross is stable again, if the new king asks me to hand over you through diplomatic means, at that time, I may be happy to use you as a bargaining chip between countries."

Lucifer frankly said what might happen.

And this result was just a tragedy for Ekaterina.

"It seems that no matter what, we have only one dead end."

She smiled wryly.

"Unless... win!"

"Unless you win."

"Don't think the world is fair because the world has never really been fair.

Many times we are just a pawn pushed forward by the times, and instead of... lamenting, it is better to do our best."

"I'm not as brave as Your Majesty, and...that...the price may be Rose's disappearance."

"Then go away."

"what"

"I said, then it's gone.

Pinning hopes on an ethereal fantasy, isn't this the doomed result from the beginning?

If you don't plan for the worst from the start, you're bound to be disappointed in the end."

Lucifer looked at the woman in front of him with a hint of playfulness in his expression.

At this time, an interesting idea gradually took shape in Lucifer's mind.

"..."

Ekaterina fell into a long silence.

Originally, the reason why she came here in private was to use Peter's name to get Lucifer's support. As long as Lucifer's support was there, the fight for the throne would be a political fortune. You can also seek political asylum.

But now it seems that no matter how you choose, there is only one dead end.

At this time, Yekaterina was not sure of winning, so she was rather pessimistic.

While Ekaterina's mind was in chaos, Lucifer put his hand on her shoulder, and he whispered in her ear.

"Madam, do you want to be king?"

"what!"

Ekaterina was startled and looked at Lucifer subconsciously.

At this time, their eyes were very close to each other.

She could see Lucifer's eyes very joking.

"I'm asking, ma'am, do you want to be king."

"I! How could I"

"Why is it not possible.

In theory, you are a prince and concubine, and you also have the right to inherit.

If you can win this battle for kingship, you won't have to worry about anything anymore."

Lucifer continued to talk about the advantages of Catherine.

That's right! Although it seems easy to be overlooked, it is not impossible for Ekaterina to inherit the throne.

In this world, queens are not uncommon, not to mention the previous ones, even Rome has just had a queen.

Gender has never been a hindrance.

"Your Majesty, you are too worthy of me."

Ekaterina said with a wry smile.

Before that, she had never thought about the choice of becoming a king.

Previously, she wanted Peter to be king, and she, as queen, would influence the king.

But Lucifer's words at this time seemed to open a new door while affecting her.

She didn't know what was behind the door, but it seemed to make her very excited.

"I believe in my own judgment, compared to other princes, you are more suitable to be the new king of Ross.

Don't hide, at least I have seen the flame called ambition in your eyes."

Lucifer continued to speak to her in a magical voice.

Compared to other people who I don't know, this one... If he becomes a king, the development of things seems to be unexpectedly interesting.

Come on, let me see if you are the Emperor Ye in history.

no.359 two in one

"Even if I want to revive Ross, I don't have the ability."

Ekaterina still refuted, but there was a hint of different feeling in her voice.

She tilted her head subconsciously to avoid Lucifer's gaze.

But this avoidance itself shows a guilty conscience, yes, she thought about it, and the idea of ​​becoming a king began to germinate in her mind.

Now it just needs soil to support its growth.

"Have the guts to touch it?"

Lucifer raised his hand, and his arm burned with the fire of sin.

This flame itself is proof of sin, and it magnifies the desires of the human heart.

Those who can control it will have less influence.

But those who cannot control it will be swallowed by it.
