AEIOU's Dream

What is love? — Roderich

That "the longest war in the world" made all the countries in Europe/Europe who were watching the show almost tired of it.

[①]

"Boss, do we want to take action?"

For countries like Roderich, the Hundred Years' War is undoubtedly a hot potato that is thankless to participate in, but which makes people always want to reap some benefits.Francis, the old enemy of Ha/B/S/Fort/family/clan, would be good if he could be taught a lesson by Arthur, the English/Great/Land/sea/pirate; but Arthur's expansion in the European continent , It is also undoubtedly a provocation to the European/Romanian/Pakistani continental countries.

"...Austria/Di/Li, go give some assistance to France/Nation, but..."

Roderich understood his boss's intentions very well, and he issued a statement the next day, strongly criticizing Arthur's shameful acts of aggression and expansion and his excessive behavior of committing crimes and disrespecting the suzerain Francis.

"Soldiers, let's go!"

Roderich led the soldiers from Vienna to the distant British/French battlefield, but on the way he learned that Francis had broken the siege of Orleans.

"It was obvious that Arthur was victorious before, why did Francis suddenly turn the tide of the battle?"

The situation was very unexpected. The famous French female national/national hero Joan of Arc led the army to repel the British army. The French people's anti-British movement continued to rise, and the British/army retreated steadily. .The Hundred Years' War is about to end with the victory of France.

On the way to the battlefield, Roderich, who had already learned that the war was about to end, secretly applauded his boss's small plan. According to the development of the situation, if Francis wins, it will be a big loss; Attacking when he is tired can not only take advantage of Francis, but also maintain the dignity of the countries on the continent of Europe/Romania/Pakistan.

Roderich signaled the team to be ready to go.

"Francis?" When Roderich actually saw him, he was squatting in front of a bouquet of white lilies.

Roderich held an umbrella and walked in front of Francis.

"Don't you want to stay here in the rain all the time? This is not in line with your family's aristocratic style."

Francis' hair was wet from the rain, but he still didn't speak.

"Didn't Arthur lose to you? I thought you would be happy."

"...she's dead." Francis raised his head slowly.

Roderich froze.

Lilies withered in the wind.

"You said, will she still be French in her next life?"

Washed by the rain, the white lily is like a girl's smile.

He seemed to know whom Francis was grieving for.

"Yes, she will love you deeply until death..."

"No, I really hope she doesn't. Sometimes, I feel like I'm such a weakling... Even so, she is willing to die for me."

[②]

However, she didn't disappoint.She went on to lead the army to a series of incredible victories that turned the tide of the war.

"Do you feel that you are by the grace of God?" asked the Inquisition judge.

And Joan replied: "If I don't have it, I hope God will give it to me; if I have it, I hope God will still give it to me."

She was burned at the stake in Rouen on May 1431, 5.

It's just that those who praised her and cursed her may not have realized that she was only 20 years old that year.

The 20-year-old turned a drab inter-dynastic conflict in which ordinary people suffered but disinterested it into an impassioned crusade to defend their country.

After the death of Joan of Arc, the national/ethnic/principalism of France rose. It can be said that she—awakened Francis’ national/ethnic consciousness, and turned this country that originally belonged to the ruler into a country that belonged to France/country/ country of people.

"I love her..." The folk song of Orleans was playing in the wind.

Francis' love for Joan of Arc may be sweet, sad, or mixed with remorse and loneliness. This kind of love is beyond romantic, but a country's indulging in important family members.

"I know."

In fact, Roderich didn't know.

Now he is still a country belonging to Ha/B/S/Bau/family/clan, not Austria/land/Li/people/people... Maybe, after a long time, he can also realize this [family]'s fierce love for their [country]...

After that, Roderich returned home with a tired face.

"elder brother……"

Seeing God/Holy/Roman standing alone in front of the door, he asked, "Shinra? Why don't you rest so late."

The tone of God/Holy/Rome/Roma seemed a little sad: "...how did brother not get lost today?"

Roderich thought it was funny: "The boss sent me back today, why, I didn't get lost to let you down."

"No! She didn't come to Hungary today. She is the one who sent you back. I thought, I wanted to pick you up for her... but there is no one in the palace."

"So you waited all night?"

Roderich stepped forward and held his brother's cold hand: "Fool, how can a brother worry about his brother so much. Oh, Shinra is really sensible! When you grow up, every time I get lost, I will call you to pick me up." I'll go home, okay?"

"Yes." The younger brother replied, holding his hand tightly.

"Go in. Don't wait for me next time."

The wind blows, and the cornflowers outside the wall are smiling.

The smiling Roderich didn't know that this oath became a painful tragedy for him many years later.

The blushing God/Holy/Rome/Roma didn't know that he would never be able to fulfill this oath.

Perhaps only Roderich, who was brought home by Ludwig many years later, could experience the feeling of "rootless".

The author has something to say: ① [In the 12th century, the Plantagenet Dynasty of England occupied a vast territory in France. From the 12th to the 13th century, the king of France gradually regained part of the land occupied by the British. At the beginning of the 14th century, Britain still occupied the Aquitaine region in southern France, which became the biggest obstacle to the political unity of France.King Edward III of England competed with King Philip VI of France for the throne as the nephew of King Charles IV of France, triggering a war. ]

②[In those days, year after year of ignominious defeats in the field, the French government was already demoralized and discredited in leadership of the army and people.When Prince Charles agreed that Joan of Arc would lead his army and prepare for war, he must have tried and failed almost every formal, rational choice of strategy.Only a regime that has reached the last moment of its existence and is completely helpless can believe in despair and trust an illiterate rural girl who claims to be instructed by God to command the country's army. ]
