I Will Be The Crowned King

For Bernard, avoiding the assassination of the "rebel remnant" in the city was just a trivial reason, and winning Louis Bernard was his most important purpose.

Of course, ability is one aspect. Although the war in the vast land ended in failure, no matter the strategy proposed by the opponent and the insight into the enemy's behavior, as a commander, Louis Bernard is absolutely qualified.

The other party also has the extremely rare "sea knight" bloodline power - this may be some kind of traditional prejudice, but the orderly world does have a saying that "all talents who awaken the bloodline power of sea knights are born captains. ".

In the new world where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the major settlements are connected by ports, it is absolutely self-evident how important an excellent and talented fleet commander is.

And in the end...he is the first in line for the Grand Duchy of Edland, and the only heir at present.

For the imperial colonies in the New World, aside from the royal family, Bernard of Edland is probably the imperial family they are most familiar with—of course, there is definitely an element of the royal family boasting, but this is not important.

The colonies of the New World, far away from the Old World, may be able to ignore the powerful families in the emperor's court like Morwes; but they must not offend Bell, who controls the empire's largest port and navy and holds countless trade routes. Na family.

If the future Archduke Edland becomes his subordinate, he must not greatly increase Bernard's influence in Sail City and other colonies.

Facing the initiative of the Governor of Sail City, the unprepared young knight froze in place.

"I'm very grateful... You are willing to make such an invitation to a defeated general like me." Louis took a deep breath and said with a very serious expression: "Really, really grateful."

"You have been one of my pursuits for a long time, and since I was very young, I hoped to be like you, who knew how to govern the territory, and who was a qualified chief of staff and leader - to get Bernard Moore The recognition of Erwis is an extremely precious honor for Louis Bernard; I... I may never forget today!"

"Don't underestimate yourself." Bernard said with a smile:

"Failure doesn't explain everything. Your keen sense of smell on the battlefield of the vast land has proved that you are a qualified knight and leader. It just takes time and more experience."

"The New World can provide you with such an opportunity to exercise, and I can assure you that I will respect your every proposal and idea - to solve the problem of colonial rebellion in a more gentle way."

"That's my honor."

Louis nodded solemnly, and then changed the conversation: "But I'm very sorry, I have to refuse."

After speaking, he put down the wine glass in his hand and sat up straight, with a hint of apology in his determined eyes.

Looking quietly inside the church, the slightly surprised Governor of Sail City looked straight into his eyes and was silent for a full minute.

Under the slightly suppressed silence, the young knight did not dodge with guilt, nor did he change his mind; he just stared straight at Bernard, his expression becoming more and more resolute.

"Why?" Bernard said:

"Is it because of treatment and titles? If so, I remember that there is also a high-ranking counselor in the governor's mansion, and the cuirassiers still lack a regiment for the time being..."

"Not a title!" Louis steals:

"Leaving Edland to the New World is because I want to get away from it all - Thundercastle, Eaglehorn, Climbing Tower... Whenever I feel like I'm the right person, reality will use the cruelest way Prove that I was terribly wrong."

"Including the advice I just gave you, if you think about it now, it may be too one-sided; I advise you to get in touch with the bottom layer, but in fact I don't know how many difficulties you are facing and how helpless you are... For all this , I don't know anything about it."

"If you really take my advice, maybe the final result is not as good as imagined, maybe even worse; maybe it is really only the quickest suppression in the shortest time with the most cruel and **** means. True kindness to the people of the colonies...as Lord Caspar Herrede said."

"You just suffered too many blows and added a lot of unnecessary pressure to yourself."

Bernard could only comfort him: "No one can be smooth sailing forever, just like no plan is perfect; we can only do as comprehensively as possible within our ability, as for whether it is successful... only depends on the ring of order. will."

"But since you've made up your mind, I respect your wishes-I won't come again for the time being, and I'll also warn the councillors in Sail City not to come here to disturb you until you figure it out."

The Governor of Sail City stood up, put on his hat and said: "Of course, don't make me wait too long, otherwise I may not be able to help send someone, and the whole church will be moved away together - Sir Louis Bernard, Your Excellency the future Archduke Edland!"

After speaking, he smiled at Louis, pushed open the door and left without waiting for the other person to speak.

Watching Bernard's back, Louis took a deep breath, the faint candle flickered in the wind, as if responding to his mood.

"Why refuse?"

The soft voice made him in a trance for a while, and he turned to look at the elf girl who appeared behind him.

"Fleia?"

"Why would you refuse?" Freya, dressed as a black and white nun, stared at Louis quietly, holding the wine just taken from the wine cellar in her arms, and repeated the question just now:

"He's right, Louis, you are the future Archduke of Adeland, you can't really stay in this chapel forever - you know this better than anyone."

"I……"

Facing the clear eyes of the elf girl, Louis was suddenly at a loss for words.

"I just think my current life is very good, why should I change it? And...and...and..." He pursed the corners of his mouth hesitantly, trying to organize his vocabulary:

"And even if I go, it may not be able to help anything; I used to think that the plan to raid Thundercastle would help the Empire defeat Clovis, but I was wrong; when I climbed the tower, I advised the commander not to defend but Take the initiative to attack, and the final outcome is the annihilation of the entire expeditionary force... Doesn't this prove anything?"

"can not."

The elf girl spoke softly, with a very serious expression: "I have never been to Thundercastle or the top of the tower, but I know that without Louis Bernard, Freya Moses Field would never have come to Sail City by boat. Such a beautiful city."

"She should have died in Eagle Point long ago, or been locked up in the dungeon of Clovis and the Church."

I don't know if it was because of the nun's clothes, but Louis suddenly felt that the elf girl in front of him was a little... different from before.

"But... just because this is the only correct decision he made, shouldn't it continue?" Louis asked rhetorically:

"I finally got it right once. If I intervene in these things again, maybe I will screw it up in the end; every time I fail, many people will pay for it."

So, if you can hide here...even if it's only now, even if it's only for a short period of time, avoid everyone with Freya, and pretend that the outside world doesn't exist anymore, then...

"Because of me?"

Freya spoke suddenly.

Um? Fascinated, Louis' face was startled, but he didn't react.

"Is it because of Freya's... reason that Louis had to give up that person's solicitation?" The elf girl's voice was very calm, and her eyes suddenly became serious:

"Because Freya is the target of the Church of Order, if Louis accepts the request of the other party, it is very likely that he will be searched by the Church because of Freya, so he must resign?"

There seemed to be some kind of magic in her eyes, so that Louis couldn't look away and looked at the elf girl.

This made the young knight, who instinctively wanted to be honest, suddenly have an intuition, trying desperately to prevent himself from making some decisions that he might regret for the rest of his life.

"Of course not!" Louis, who had been silent for a long time, said a little stiffly: "This is my own decision, and I think this is the best choice."

"Yes, I may have felt that honor, victory, praise and title were everything to me; for the Louis Bernard, who was always dreaming and chasing after his idol, it was indeed the case."

"But these are no longer important to me now - I have made so many mistakes and paid so many costs, and only one thing has succeeded in the end."

"This...Speaking of which, it's very against the spirit of chivalry, but at least for now...I want to protect the only correct decision until I understand what to do, so that I won't let myself repeat the mistakes I made before."

Louis slowly stood up from the chair, took a deep breath, then gently pressed her shoulders, and said softly in a slightly trembling voice:

"So... Your Highness Freya Mosesfield, can you accept that your knight is... not very brave?"

The elf girl raised her head.

"No, because a coward will never abandon everything and run to the edge of the world in order to protect a little girl who is being hunted down by the whole world, and even confess her mistakes to her."

Louis was slightly startled, just as he was about to say something, the slightly drunk elf girl had already taken a step forward, and the small head was tucked into his arms.

"He is a brave knight. No matter what others say, in the eyes of the little girl, he is well-deserved."

……………………

Leaving the chapel, the governor of Sail City in military uniform took advantage of the daylight to return to his newly "renovated" governor's mansion in a carriage under the **** of the guards.

After failing to attract Louis Bernard, he is now exhausted physically and mentally, and even turned down the celebratory dinner carefully prepared by the gang of sailing city councilors who wanted to please him-he now just wants to take a hot bath and lie on any place that can be swayed. He sleeps on an object called a "bed" until he wakes up naturally, completely getting rid of the pain from head to toe caused by fighting for days.

As for the "low-price acquisition strategy" mentioned by Louis... Bernard actually didn't take it to heart.

To be honest, this is indeed a good way to win the hearts and minds of the people, but as he himself admitted, the young and innocent Louis did not see the fundamental contradiction of the problem, and he was even less aware that once the emperor revolted because of the colonies, he would immediately make goodwill. "Concession", what dire consequences it will bring.

The relationship between the colony and the native country is extremely divided, and even the denominations of belief are completely different; any small compromise will be mistaken by the colony as a "victory" they have won, and such victory will inevitably breed their unrealistic. Ambition, so as to make further progress.

Therefore, the empire must never give in, let alone make any compromises. It must remain absolutely tough at all times, in order to effectively deter those lunatics who have evil intentions, or the people who are too easily incited.

Of course, this is still a good way to cover it up - but not now, you must wait until the repression of the rebellion is completely over, and after all the parliamentary presidents of the colonies have been cleaned up, if you are still the governor of Sailing City, you can use it at that time. This method attracts immigrants and stimulates production.

If you are lucky, with this merit and the achievements of reform, maybe the emperor will restore his official position and return to his court.

As for whether the future Yangfan City will result in a higher degree of autonomy, a stronger centrifugal force on the homeland, and a greater desire to get rid of the empire's rule... Bernard doesn't care, anyway, he must have left his job by then, no matter how much trouble and The black pot is also the problem that the next unlucky person will have a headache.

With fantasies about a better future, the beautiful governor of Sailing City entered the dream in his new bedroom after taking a hot bath, and looks forward to opening his eyes again at noon on the second night or the third day~www.wuxiaspot .com~ It's a pity that good things never come in pairs - he was woken up by the alarm bell in the bedroom at exactly 5:30 the next day.

With a pair of scarlet eyes and wearing only pajama pants, Yangfancheng kicked open the door of the office with resentment on his face, and slammed the smoking gun on the table with a bang! The herald was horrified—he had just killed his own alarm bell with this thing.

"In one sentence, explain exactly what happened in one sentence, and make me get up from the bed at this time." Bernard stuck his head out, staring at the herald staring at him:

"Otherwise, I'll let you and that **** alarm bell end up!"

"I...I think this matter may not be able to be settled in one sentence..."

"Then put it simply, I don't have time... Forget it! Give me the report, and I'll see the head office for myself, right?!"

The frightened herald hurriedly took out the documents from his arms and handed them over in a hurry; Bernard opened the letterhead in a huff, and tried his best to open his eyes and read it line by line.

As his consciousness gradually became clearer, his bloodshot eyes gradually widened.

"What - the colonial militia sacked the farms on the border of Beluga Harbor, and the Clovis people plan to send troops to retaliate and capture Long Lake Town?!"
