The Sun King's Evidence

Before the Dark Elf could turn around and go out to invite him, Morgiana's voice came from the door of the room: "Ryan, are you busy?"

There were only three people who dared to enter Ryan's room without knocking, and one of them was Morgiana.

Today, the Lake God Witch is wearing a knee-length skirt with white curtains and pure embroidery, with a purple ribbon tied around her waist. Morgiana's cool and beautiful face appears from the door, her enchanting and slender figure fully exposed. Since it is midsummer, Morgiana It is relatively rare that she is not wearing an ankle-length skirt. Under the knee-length skirt are beautiful calves that are as smooth as jade. She is not wearing stockings on her beautiful feet, but is simply wearing a pair of high-heeled sandals with a single buckle.

"Click, click, click~" Morgiana's voice came from far away: "Did I bother you?"

"I'm thinking about something." Ryan looked up from the documents on the table and smiled: "There's nothing particularly important. Welcome back, Morgiana. How is the matter with Kurona going?"

Seeing Ryan smiling at her, Morgiana's slightly frowned eyebrows relaxed. She could always feel relaxed and happy when getting along with Ryan in private. The Lake God Witch only felt that the irritability that had been bothering her recently disappeared. , easily pulled up a chair and sat down next to Ryan, Morgiana adjusted her skirt: "Overall, it's okay, Lawn has recovered, and he has continued to perform his duties as regent. Since you didn't hold him accountable, Responsibility, so the knights and nobles of the north breathed a sigh of relief."

"Also, Richard has stepped down from the position of Duke Le-Angoulant. The person who took over the title of Duke Le-Angoulant is Taubert, Richard's nephew." Morgiana continued, her golden Her long hair hung down from her shoulders, exuding the fragrance of iris.

"Very good." Ryan didn't say much about this. Obviously, the traditional knights and nobles in the north had also bowed their heads, and Richard did not pass the title of Duke of Le-Angoulan to his grandson William instead of passing it on to his grandson William. Taubert itself explains his attitude.

"Theodoric, Duke of Belion, has completed his sentence. He came to me and hoped that I could convey his apology on his behalf." Morgiana said the second point: "He admitted his mistake regarding Fiona and was willing to By continuing his confinement, he expresses his unconditional submission to your reforms, but hopes that you can help him in his current predicament in Belion."

"Huh, is this unconditional?" Ryan shook his head continuously. This old guy was very cunning. At this critical moment, he started jumping left and right again. It was impossible to tell that this guy was actually a staunch supporter of Lawn.

At this critical moment when Ryan is about to succeed to the throne, it is really not easy to argue with Theodoric. Since he is willing to obey completely, Ryan is too lazy to bargain with him anymore, so he can continue to be in confinement.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ryan and Morgiana sat together and discussed the next things in detail.

"I and the Kingdom Court have received the accusation against the late Duke Aldreeld of reselling military rations to raise military funds." Morgiana paused and immediately started to say the next thing: "But as you know , the founding family of the twelve original Holy Grail Knights did not accept any charges other than treason and blasphemy. Secondly, Duke Aldereld was dead, and Duke Adehad who succeeded him stated that he did not know about it... Lyon Nasai is facing many problems now. There has been too much rain this year and the grain harvest is also facing a failure. After thinking about it, I decided not to pursue the case."

What a natural and man-made disaster. Ryan crossed his arms and shook his head with a wry smile.

Historically, the late stage of a regime often begins with natural disasters, leading many people to mistakenly believe that the collapse of a regime is due to natural disasters. In fact, this is not the case. Natural disasters actually never stop, whether in the early, middle or late stages of a regime.

What really causes things to go out of control is the collapse of the financial capacity of the state power itself and the weakening of the response ability of the ruling system. At this time, natural disasters are the last straw that breaks the country's back.

Once a natural disaster occurs but cannot respond quickly, the three brothers will immediately become famine, plague, and rebellion (Nurgle liked it).

On the contrary, natural disasters do not pose a threat as long as the regime is capable of dealing with them.

Therefore, Leonese was powerless against the rebellious serfs, so Ryan, who had money, food, and people, completely quelled the rebellion in the south of Leonese within half a month after taking over.

"At least spit out some of it!" Ryan said dissatisfied: "Immediately write to Duke Adehad. I did not ask the nobles of Lyonnais to return all the food they swallowed, but at least give out a quarter. First, give it to the church, and the church will distribute it to the serfs! If you don’t agree, you will never get our support again!”

Morgiana nodded, and she immediately ordered the dark elf: "Did you hear that? Why don't you write it down quickly?"

Damn it! This woman! Do you think of yourself as the hostess? Orica, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit and white stockings with suspenders, was quite unhappy, and her unhappiness was also reflected on her face. She smiled and said: "Your Highness Morgiana, don't you have any hands? Or are you illiterate?"

This sentence made Morgiana raise her slender golden eyebrows. Her green eyes stared directly at the smiling dark elf. She held the potion Holy Grail tightly in one hand, and the surging magic power like the ocean began to flow in Her whole body surged: "Dark Elf, don't think that you are Ryan's personal maid, and I will not deal with you!"

She remembered what had happened at the Feast of Winter Veil.

"Oh? Try it." The dark elf looked unhappy, and her smile became sweeter: "Do you think you can defeat me with that cup?"

One second, the room was still chatting seriously about internal affairs, and the next second, a duel seemed about to break out.

"Olica!" Ryan could only helplessly stop her: "We are talking about business!"

"...Hmph~" The dark elf nodded unhappily. She thought to herself that this woman came to you all day long with the excuse of talking about business, but ended up going somewhere else while chatting.

During this period, because Teresa and Veronica both went into seclusion to practice, and Sulia was pregnant again, the dark elf had always dominated Ryan alone. As a result, now that this woman is back, the dark elf is naturally unhappy.

After stabilizing Orica, Ryan immediately took hold of Morgiana's hand and held her hand to signal her to calm down.

Being held by Ryan, feeling the heat coming from his big hand, Morgiana immediately blushed, her whole body became weak, and she couldn't express any anger. She stretched out her jade fingers and drew on Ryan's palm. a number.

5.

The muscles in Ryan's face twitched.

The Duke could only nod his head to show that he understood.

Once the topic was interrupted like this, it would get messed up if it were to be continued. Ryan simply moved on to the next thing: "Morgiana, I need your help. I want to recruit a group of people from the church."

"No problem, we will send someone to help you." Morgiana held Ryan's hand and the Lake God Witch nodded. They had been discussing this matter for a long time.

Lane was about to start preparing to build his own bureaucracy.

To establish a bureaucracy, it was necessary to seek help from the church.

Even the nobles cannot do this.

Naturally, you will understand.

Therefore, Ryan could only choose to ask for help from the Fairy of the Lake Church, because the Church of the Fairy of the Lake was his die-hard supporter. Especially in recent years, due to the success of Ryan’s reforms, the Fairy of the Lake Church had gained in tithes and donations from nobles and businessmen. With the huge financial income, many freedmen have begun to take pride in donating food and money to the Fairy of the Lake Church, because this makes them feel that they have contributed to the country.

Relying on the increased income, the Fairy of the Lake Church has more wealth to cultivate more talents, providing more possibilities for Ryan's reforms.

What is even more commendable is that the Fairy of the Lake Church has always remained relatively clean and efficient.

So, as it is also a church organization, why has the Fairy of the Lake Church not been as highly bureaucratized as the Empire after thousands of years of development?

you know.

There is no way. Although Britannia lags far behind in administrative capabilities compared to the empire across the mountain, it is much superior in terms of church management~

After discussing this, Ryan and Morgiana talked about the industrial zone along the Musilon River.

In fact, Britannia's hydraulic stamping technology for producing plate armor and weapons is very mature, because it is completely copied from the high elves, and many of the technological levels in the heyday of the elven empire have not yet been caught up by humans.

In this regard, Ryan plans to, like the Empire, integrate the technology of dwarves and high elves to create new and better weapons and equipment, and then replace them in batches for the knights.

There were not many people who could discuss all kinds of chores after Sulia became pregnant. Taking advantage of Morgiana's return, Ryan simply discussed with her and set many decisions and reform directions.

Unknowingly, by the time everything was discussed, it was already evening.

"Morgiana, are you staying at my place tonight? Or are you going to live in the tower?" Ryan thought to himself, he had really talked long enough.

"I'll be with you tonight." Morgiana said very firmly, with a faint smile on her beautiful face: "Or do you have other plans?"

"Uh... no." Ryan also smiled. He gently pulled Morgiana, and the Duke whispered in the ear of the Lake God Witch: "I miss your cooking, Morgiana."

The green eyes of the Lake God Witch shone with astonishing brilliance: "You just want to eat the food I cook?"

"We can have dinner together, Morgiana, and then we can..." Ryan decided to take the initiative, what's the point of being passive? He is a duke and will become a king in the future. How can he grasp the highest power unless Morgiana is completely dealt with?

"Then, it depends on your performance." Sure enough, the Lake God Witch was very satisfied with Ryan's answer: "Just the two of us, not the dark elf!"

"Okay, just the two of us." Ryan nodded with a smile.

.........I am the dividing line between the two of us......

Six hours later, late at night, the air conditioner was turned on in the master bedroom of the castle.

On the soft sofa chair, Morgiana, who was wearing a silk nightgown with silky silk and fragrant snow, was flushed and lazily leaning against Ryan's chest, like a fish blowing bubbles, while Ryan was He hugged her gently and let her sit on his lap.

The two enjoyed the calm after the storm.

"Are you really going to send five hundred children to study in Nuer?" Morgiana gently put her arms around Ryan's neck, and a pair of crystal jade feet wrapped in white velvet stockings under her skirt gently swayed back and forth. The Lake God The witch was in a great mood, and she asked casually: "Aren't you worried that they will encounter problems?"

"What problems can we encounter?" Ryan let out a sigh of relief. He and Morgiana hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and she had become even more clingy.

"For example... they can't finish their studies, or they finish their studies but don't want to come back?" Morgiana was still a little worried about Ryan's study abroad plan. The Lake God Witch raised her own concerns: "They are too young."

Morgiana was not overtly opposed to Ryan's plan to study abroad. The great nobles of Britannia also sent their children to study in the empire from time to time. She was worried that these serf children would have limited qualifications, or simply Just stay in the empire and don't plan to come back.

"Don't worry so much, Morgiana. It's impossible for all of the five hundred people to be successful, but as long as half of them can complete their studies, it will be a great achievement." Ryan smiled: "Their families are here, and besides, They all have a great sense of identity and mission here, and they also admire me. Maybe there are a few people who want to stay in Nuer, but they are definitely a very small number."

"Will you adapt to life? Nuer is the largest industrial center and academic center in the old world." Morgiana was still a little entangled. It was Ryan who paid 8,000 gold crowns to negotiate with Emilia to send five hundred children to Nuer. Yes, if this money is given to the Fairy of the Lake Church, it can also be cultivated!

"It is inevitable to have some discomfort in life." After hearing this, Ryan complained: "Do I still need to inform Emilia to arrange three companions for each international student in Brittany? And then let Nu How many Breton slangs can each be learned by professors and officers from the University of Nur and the Gunnery College of Nour to make these children feel familiar?”

"Pfft~hahaha~" Morgiana was amused by Ryan. The Lake God Witch couldn't help but purse her lips and snicker. Being with Ryan is always so fun and relaxing. As long as she is with him, Morgiana feels like she is... The mood became very good.

Seeing Ryan say this, Morgiana knew that he had made up his mind and stopped talking about this issue: "Okay, since you said so, let's do it."

"Um."

With the return of Morgiana and the suppression of the rebellion, Ryan was finally able to get a little relief from the extremely heavy internal affairs, because the Lake God Witch, as the spokesperson of the Lake Fairy in the mortal world, could help Ryan handle government affairs and reduce his burden.

However, the valets and maids in the castle sometimes discuss that Duke Lane, who is freed from the heavy domestic affairs, occasionally seems to look more tired than before, while Her Highness Morgiana's face is often glowing. I feel refreshed and my skin feels better.

This is really strange.

Time came to mid-August, and Sulia’s due date was getting closer.

At this time, Fulgrim and Angron finally arrived at Lion's territory after trekking.

"Brother Fulgrim, Brother Angron, you are finally here!"

updated! It's a little early today, but I still want to vote!
