The Sun King's Evidence

PS: This chapter has 4800 words. If the update is postponed, I will update more. The emperor is so kind!

Richard's abdication was not unexpected. The knight king was already old. After John II was deposed, the dukes' choice of Richard to become king was inherently excessive. Richard's character tended to maintain stability. , who powerfully reunited the kingdom after John II was deposed, is a contribution that must be acknowledged.

However, after that, Richard's series of ways of handling things attracted criticism. His blindly conciliatory approach and his governing method of never expressing his stance easily aroused the dissatisfaction of many nobles in the kingdom, and his failure to suppress Ryan was even more serious. Leaving Richard's position in jeopardy.

More importantly, the king lost the support of the Lake Fairy, which was fatal to the king of Britannia. The Kingdom of Knights started with the founding Knight King Arthur. Once each generation of knight kings lost the support of the Lake Fairy, The end result is to be deposed, and Morgiana's Holy Grail Knights can storm into the palace at any time and pull the king from the throne.

After Jules died in battle because of Richard's order, Richard actually lost the prestige he should have as a king, and he did so. Since Jules' death, Richard has become more The land handed over the military and political power to Lawn-Leo Cornwall, Duke of Connet, and he began to prepare to abdicate.

Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly felt some sympathy for the king. Ules's death in battle was not what Richard wanted, and even Ules's appearance in the battle was the oracle of the Lake Fairy. It can only be said that Egil is indeed too strong.

However, the king is still responsible for this. He gave the order, so he must be responsible for it. According to Francois, Richard hesitated for a long time before signing the king's order. He did not evade the king's responsibility.

The most difficult thing in this world is to be responsible. The king's responsibility is so heavy. People can only see the king's noble status and glorious identity, but never think about what the person on the throne needs to pay.

"It's not that surprising that it will be passed on to His Excellency the Duke of Lawn. I heard that Richard's favorite successor is Lawn, followed by his grandson Earl William. Anyway... it won't be his son Charles." Ryan thought for a moment. Afterwards, he felt a little tangled in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "How can there be a crown prince who has been in the world for seventy years?"

"Marquis Charles?" Francois sneered: "He does not meet the conditions. First of all, he is not a Holy Grail Knight or a Holy Knight. Furthermore, I don't think Her Highness Morgiana will allow it. Even if it is to be passed down, it will be passed down directly from generation to generation. To Earl William.”

Everyone nodded.

Britannia is different from the Empire. In the Empire, whether you can become the Emperor is through voting by fifteen holders of the right to elect the Emperor. The Emperor is elected among several candidates for the throne (actually only Bao Bao is participating in the election). Reese Todbringer and Karl Franz.)

The emperor-electing system destined the emperor to be selected only from a few candidates for the throne.

The Kingdom of Knights is different. In the history of the Kingdom of Knights, the throne of knights has never been fixed to a certain family or a certain principality. It has always flowed among the dukes of the kingdom. From this point of view, Brittany Among the upper-class nobles of Asia, the great mobility of the Holy Grail system is something that the Empire does not have, and this is exactly what Ryan is interested in.

Specifically, there are four conditions required to become the King of Knights.

First, the knight must be a Holy Grail Knight or a Holy Knight (a Holy Knight is an honorary title awarded to powerful knights with outstanding moral character and strength. A Holy Knight is not necessarily a Holy Grail Knight. A Holy Grail Knight is a living saint who possesses the eight virtues of a knight. , Paladins value bravery and army leadership more. Richard holds the title of Paladin. This old king was also a powerful knight when he was young).

Second, the knight must have the title of duke.

Third, this knight must be a descendant of the twelve original Holy Grail knight families or vassal families that founded the country.

Fourth, the coronation of the Knight King must be approved by the Lake Witch (representing the will of the Lake Fairy).

Except for the second one, Ryan knew that he already met the other three. What he lacked now was the title of duke.

Francois saw Ryan's thoughts, and Duke Winford smiled and said: "Lian, what's wrong? It's impossible for me to give you the title of duke. You want the title of duke, and you know what to do."

Ryan nodded with understanding. Francois knew that Ryan wanted to be the king. His father-in-law did not object to Ryan becoming the king, but he could not give up his title of duke. This was the bottom line.

Regarding this matter, Ryan knew that the person he could discuss with was not François or Sulia, but the Lake God Witch who held the highest power in the country in the tower at the other end of the castle, and the one who was quietly hiding behind her. , the goddess who observes all situations.

He became more and more focused on returning home.

…………

After several days of rapid marching, Ryan and others finally returned to the Earl of Glamorgan.

Farewell to Francois, Julius, Jerod and others for the time being. Of course, when Ryan arrived in Jean Town, it was already mid-to-late January.

This is a rare sunny day in winter, with a clear blue sky and cloudless sky. Bright sunshine shines down from the sky one after another. The roads covered with thick stone slabs in the Earl of Glamorgan are filled with snow. Many villagers The snowflakes are being swept away. Even in winter, there are still many carriages and people moving in the prosperous territory. Everyone is wearing thick animal skin cloaks and linen clothes. A thin layer of snow covers the Chalon Forest and Farmland and land within the earldom.

Quiet and peaceful, everyone is waiting for the passing of winter and the arrival of spring. Many serfs are eager to harvest winter wheat and sow the seeds of hope. They have gradually got rid of hunger, and the serfs who have ensured food and clothing are eager for more.

In the distance, the town of Jean is being expanded for who knows how many times. Many serfs are working under the command of the sergeant in exchange for wages. The serfs are in a high mood because they work more and get more, and they work faster and better. There is also broth to drink.

This year's Winter Veil Festival, many serfs enjoyed a meal of meat.

In the distance, the Earl's Castle stands proudly, and Earl Lane's family coat of arms hangs high on the city gate, showing the Earl's powerful strength and firm will, as well as his determination to never surrender, to all evil creatures and corrupted beings.

Ryan's return caused enthusiastic cheers. Whether it was serfs or nobles, the news spread like wildfire in the town. Everyone gathered just to see the count. Everywhere Ryan passed the streets, there were huge With cheers, Ryan waved to everyone, but without stopping, he walked directly towards his castle.

"Your Majesty Belega, I have something urgent to deal with now. You have been on a long journey. I will send someone to arrange for you and your people to have a good rest." Ryan said to Belega behind him.

"You go about your business and don't worry about your dwarf friends. My people and I have somewhere to go." Belegar waved his hand carelessly: "But after you are done, I think we need to talk."

"Okay." Ryan nodded. He felt that he should also discuss the next plan with Belega. Attacking the Blackstone Stronghold would definitely be impossible with knights and trebuchets alone. He needed the help of dwarves, Brittania The help of the dwarves is also needed.

"The Earl and Countess are back! Open the city gate!" Ryan's butler Katzenberg saw the return of Ryan and Sulia from the castle, and the housekeeper immediately ordered the castle door to be opened.

"Open the gay!" The sergeants turned the bearings and opened the door of the count's castle.

"Sulia, I think we should expand the Earl's castle." Riding into his castle, Ryan smiled at his wife and said: "The place was quite spacious before, but if all the servants move in, it will become very difficult." It’s a little crowded.”

"Hmm... Actually, it's okay to let them live in the outer castle. I will definitely live with you." The female knight stared at him with her beautiful face: "You decide for yourself, my husband."

"Expand it." Ryan could feel Sulia's thoughts. The female knight actually wanted to expand it, because his Earl's castle did seem small now.

Entering the luxurious hall of the castle, the old stone walls and floors have long been transformed into wooden ones. Huge staircases lead to the second floor. Precious tapestries and murals decorate the castle walls, hanging crystal magic chandeliers, and red carpets. , as Ryan entered the inner castle, two maids and a dozen maids raised their skirts together: "Master, welcome back!"

The two leading maids are Emilia, the head maid, and Orika, the personal maid appointed by Ryan. They are all wearing standard black and white lace maid uniforms and maid skirts. Among them, the dark elf stepped forward and helped Ryan take off the maid. Cloak and coat: "Master, are you back? The hot water has been put for you."

"Sir Ryan! I have already cleaned your room for you... What's wrong?" The beautiful and charming Emilia also rushed up to talk to Ryan excitedly, but the little maid immediately noticed that Ryan was looking at her with strange eyes. Holding her.

Emilia's little face suddenly turned red. She lowered her little head, her long golden hair was tied up with a white scarf, and whispered: "Why...why are you looking at me like this?"

"..." Ryan stared at his little maid without saying a word. After this trip to the empire, he basically knew who this little maid who had been following him for several years was.

"Hmm~ Ryan, don't you like me anymore?" The delicate and sensitive little maid immediately felt the changes in Ryan. She immediately made a sad look, with tears flashing in her big beautiful eyes: "You Are you going to drive me away?"

"No, no, I just remembered something." Ryan quickly indicated that he didn't mean anything else.

"Lian~ Why are you looking at Amelia like this? It's so rude!" Sulia spoke, and the Countess said angrily that Ryan was too rude. The female knight quickly hugged Amelia, He repeatedly comforted the panicked little maid, and then asked her husband to come over: "Ryan, come here and apologize!"

"It's okay, Emilia, I just remembered some past events." Ryan apologized quickly, and Amelia's expression looked much better now.

Regarding this point, Lidya Su and Ryan's concepts are fundamentally different.

Lidya Su believes that no matter what Amelia's original intention is, the fact is that this little maid has always regarded Ryan as her safe haven, and has always been his maid quietly, willing to do any work, She even completed the entire courtier course at Winford College by herself and never caused trouble. The female knight felt that Ryan's requirements were a bit too strict.

Ryan felt that there was really no need for Amelia to hide it from him for so long. He was a little unsure of what the little maid was thinking. However, after being criticized by Sulia, the Earl did realize that his attitude was wrong, and he quickly apologized. .

"Don't worry, Emilia, as long as you are willing to stay with me, you will always be my maid." Ryan whispered, caressing Emilia's petite shoulders.

The little maid's face looked better now. At that moment, Emilia had hundreds of thoughts in her mind. She knew that Ryan and Sulia must have learned something about this trip to the empire.

After settling down Amelia, Ryan said to Lidya Su: "Lidya Su, please settle down Theresa and Veronica. I'm going to take a bath first, and then I'm going to see Moji immediately. Your Highness Anna."

"Okay." The female knight knew that Ryan had something to discuss with Morgiana.

"Master, come with me." The dark elf maid led Ryan towards the bathroom. Olika's amber eyes had some weirdness and desire: "Please let me serve you to bathe."

"Well." Walking into the steaming bathroom, a large bucket of hot water was ready. Under Olika's service, Ryan took off his clothes and immersed himself in the water: "Thank you, Olika. Things are going well in the territory recently." What?"

"Everything is fine, Master. Everyone has been resting since the Winter Veil Festival. Nothing major happened." The dark elf also took off his clothes and gently rubbed Ryan's back. , her long black hair quickly became wet, and the dark elf maid's face slowly turned red. She hugged Ryan from behind: "Master... the magic power is not enough... I need the magic power."

"Of course! I want them all!" Ryan smirked, picked up Orika by the waist, and immersed them in the water together.

...the dividing line of bathing...

An hour later, the Earl of Glamorgan, the Earl's Castle, and the Fairy Tower in the Lake.

The Earl, who felt refreshed in every sense of the word after taking this bath, and whose hair was still a little wet, came to the door of the Fairy in the Lake Tower. The tower belonging to the goddess was emitting a sacred glow, and the scorching power of the Fairy in the Lake was spreading. Shrouding the tower, the cold outside has not affected the thick fog in the valley at all. The thick fog from the goddess still revolves around the tower. These thick fogs will drive away those unwelcome outsiders.

Ryan was obviously not an unwelcome outsider. The Earl arrived in front of the tower smoothly. Before he got close, the Lake God Witch Morgiana was already standing in front of the tower with her hands hanging down, waiting for him.

Today, the Lake God Witch is wearing a moonlight white snow-silvered silk waist dress, with her waistline exposed to the public. She wears a golden flower crown on her head, and a pair of white velvet stockings are exposed under the dress. Her pink feet, her silk feet were wearing a pair of milky white pointed stiletto heels. Seeing Ryan appear, Morgiana's beautiful face was both happy and full of resentment: "You came so early, I thought you would come a few days late."

"I have something urgent to discuss with you, my Highness." Ryan approached quickly.

"Just in time, I also have something to discuss with you, Lady's Champion." Morgiana greeted her gently, and she took the initiative to hold Ryan's hand and walked inside: "It's an urgent matter, and Richard can't make a decision, so Summon me immediately."

Ryan felt something in his heart, and he asked tentatively: "Is it about the abdication and handover of the King of Knights?"

"No, Richard has the intention to abdicate, but this matter is not that fast, it is another matter." Morgiana felt her whole body heat up when Ryan held her big hand, and the Lake God Witch, whose legs were a little weak, simply She took his arm and leaned against him: "It's about Theodoric, Duke of Belion."

"His Excellency Duke Theodoric?" Ryan felt strange and kept asking: "What happened? He was invaded by the undead?"

"No." Morgiana took Ryan to the table on the first floor. She took out a special lawsuit signed by more than a dozen Belion lords, nobles, knights, and merchants. Morgiana's face The expression on her face was very complicated, and she introduced to Ryan.

"Duke Theodoric was found to be having an affair with the wife of a subordinate count, thus involving a major case in the kingdom! After a series of discoveries and accusations, Duke Theodoric of Belian, a total of He was found to be having an affair with the wives of two earls, three barons, five knights of the kingdom... a total of nineteen nobles!"

"These nineteen nobles jointly issued a special lawsuit against King Richard! They requested to deal with His Excellency Theodoric. His Majesty Richard was unable to make a decision, so this special lawsuit was sent to me."

"???" Ryan couldn't close his mouth. He thought to himself that Duke Theodoric could do it!

"I don't know how to make a decision at the moment. Ryan, you are the ladies' champion. What's your opinion?"

Morgiana raised her head and looked at Ryan.

"Well, I think..."
