Chapter 399 The Lonely One

The Royal Confidential Bureau is also known as the Royal Shadow, or the Hound in the Shadow.Its origins can be traced back to the time when King Altorfo established the Kingdom of Gaul/Szeeland outside the mountains, and the fourteen initial nobles; the Wing Group was established to deal with spies and infiltrations at home and abroad.

The first head of the regiment is also one of the fourteen original nobles, Deugosh, a Magyar from Samatia; he is also the head of the light cavalry/hunting cavalry of the new kingdom.A man known for his cruelty and unscrupulousness towards enemies and potential threats at home and abroad, but was eventually killed in the Black Forest.

However, after Deugosh's death, the Wing Group he led was continued by the Rose Dynasty and continued to be a sharp blade against domestic rebels and potential rebel forces; "Otto I of the Lustful" broke it himself.

The mother of Otto I, who was originally appointed by default, was only a court maid of minor noble origin.Therefore, as the youngest son without a strong natal family, he entered the monastery very early and became one of the royal family's high-level arrangements in the church.As a result, a plague that caused heavy casualties to members of the royal family brought him to power suddenly.

However, the severely repressed life in the monastery distorted his spirit and body; so that after he ascended the throne, he did not hesitate to linger in the sexual enjoyment of men and women; Dadan is famous for its ten-day carnival of hunting and feasting.

As a result, not only the ministers who were far away in the royal court complained about it, but even the many noble territories on his parade road were troubled and burdened by it.Because in addition to the Royal Guards and Tokiomi, he also brought a large number of entourage and retinue groups to cruise through the border.

The parasitic groups related to these kings were eaten up like locusts, and the throne parade passed through large and small territories; it also caused these nobles who, according to tradition, had to enshrine the king in transit suffered heavy losses and even went bankrupt; Under the centrifugation caused a cataclysm.

A vassal/retainer of an earl was forced to commit suicide in disgrace because he failed to provide satisfactory food for the throne; he was also deprived of fiefs and titles by the lord under pressure.Therefore, the son of the deceased decided to fight desperately, and summoned many knights who had suffered the same situation to rise up.

They dressed up as local petitioning monks, caught off guard by the palace guards, rushed into the temporary palace of Soissons, and rushed in front of Otto I who was holding an uncovered meeting.However, because the companions chased and killed those courtiers who were full of resentment;

As a result, he missed the best time to assassinate the king, and left the leading retainer's son to the palace guards and royal knights who rushed over; A scar was left on Yi Shi's face, and then he was dismembered on the spot.

However, the consequences and impact of this incident were extremely serious. While causing the Count of Soissons to wait for a large number of nobles on the Amiens border, they were implicated and punished; it also greatly shaken and corrupted the authority of the royal family.And Otto I, who was frightened by his escape from the dead, became more and more frantic.

He even ignored the minister's dissuasion, and expanded the scope of his involvement and liquidation several times; even his blood cousin, the institution directly under the royal family-the Wing Group; was not let go.Just because he suspected that the other party was involved in the conspiracy because of the grievances he had had in his childhood.

Therefore, when the sharp blade hidden in the darkness was broken for such absurd reasons, the ears of the "Sleeping King" Otto I immediately became quiet, and the undercurrents of the Rose Dynasty were turbulent, and finally converged into the Within the kingdom, there was a great chaos among several noble lineages.

In the end, it was the Marquis of Philo from Cherbourg, a distant branch of the royal family rising from the border, who quickly pacified the rebellious nobles and cities along the way.In the end, he won the battle of Senna involving the seven original nobles, held high the banner of the lily, and entered the capital under the expectations of everyone.

Then, the Marquis of Philo ordered to use strong wine from the East to kill the rebellious Otto I; he married the only unmarried sister of Otto I, Lenore; thus, under the consecration and anointing of the archbishop from Lance, A new generation of the Lily Dynasty lineage was born...

Of course, the new dynasty has learned the lessons of Otto I's perverse actions. On the one hand, it corrected the chaos and re-officially renewed the oath and favored those local vassals; and sphere of influence...

However, as the saying goes, things must be turned against each other. With the continuous expansion of the kings of the Baihe Dynasty, the Wing Group has become a bloated and huge vested interest group that is parasitic on the kingship. It is full of a large number of noble children, and the habit Rely on this identity to make money.

But gradually lost the basic functions of the king's eyes and ears and minions.Finally, during the reign of Philo VI, due to an unexpected incident, the limit of everyone's patience was reached.These members of the Wing Group, who were regarded as a cancer in the capital, openly kidnapped and hijacked a team of sending off their relatives.

However, when a man and a woman from aristocratic families swallowed enough ransom, they only brought back a bride who had been raped and went crazy; there were also many accompanying female guests who were insulted to varying degrees.This result also led to the rampage of the royal guards and knights.

Led by many interested parties, they rushed into the Wing Group's garrison/headquarters, and wanted to capture the culprit who was sheltered there.However, the members of the Wing Group also have a strong family background; therefore, the conflict quickly intensified into a fire that spread to the whole city.

When Philo VI rushed back with the royal guard after hearing the news, the situation was out of control.A small half of the kings were set on fire, and at least dozens of nobles who were full of hatred fled from the capital of Seine; then came the news that they raised the rebellion flag in the south and elected the Duke of Valois as the leader.

And Philo VI is just a relatively mediocre conservative lord. He can neither cut through the mess in time for the severely divided subjects, adjudicate the guilt of any party, and decisively win the support of the other party; whether to form a crusade army, He hesitated on the issue of pacifying the South.

Because, the chief of the Wings Group who caused the situation and was jointly responsible was his closest favorite and his mother and brother; but he couldn't ignore the voices of several powerful noble factions in the royal court, who rarely stood together to fight against the enemy.As a result, the situation slipped into the abyss after repeated delays.

In the end, it became a chaotic war between the royal faction stretching across the country and the local aristocratic faction, which lasted for more than 20 years; it also had to give up the suppression of the royal branch, and played a certain Earl of Besançon. ; In the end, Philo VI died of mental exhaustion.

The successors to the throne, Vlad III and Philo VII, were extremely short-lived and failed to see the end of this civil war.In the end, with the backbone and direct line members of the Lily royal family severely withered, the royal court could only send the young Compiègne II to the crumbling throne;

Then on the 137th day, the army with the acacia banner ushered in.Because, the royal faction headed by the Earl of Besançon had already defeated most of the coalition forces of the rebel nobles in the Battle of Bourges on the Central Plateau;

However, it was not until the third generation of the royal regent family that they completely defeated the last group of rebellious border nobles and reached an armistice agreement with neighboring countries; and completely replaced the only remaining lily flag on the head of the capital with the acacia flag.But the Wing Group was also completely banned and banned.

The vast majority of people were labeled as unforgivable, and suffered a tragic liquidation and implication, and thus were swept into the garbage dump on the stage of history.But as a rule, the new royal family/Besançon family also set up a new royal judicial knight with similar functions.

The main members no longer have public identities, and are known for their low-key and secretive behavior hiding in the dark; thus, the name of the hound of the royal family was born.Until the celestial change more than 200 years ago, during the chaotic period that lasted for several generations, the white iris dynasty rose.

Therefore, there are also rumors that the predecessor of the Royal Confidential Bureau of the new dynasty is said to have originated from the royal judicial knights of the old dynasty, and some survivors who changed the court; therefore, it also inherited its structure and part of its heritage and inheritance.But no matter how fierce a hound is, it will grow old and decay.

In the era when King Lie Sun and Lord Horror respected each other, it was also the most glorious period for the Royal Confidential Bureau; their spies and assassins could even be active abroad for a long time through the channels of money and businessmen, and become those defectors and hostiles. Organization, an unavoidable nightmare.

Then it turned from prosperity to decline, and became more and more unknown with the rulers on the throne for several generations.So much so that on the eve of the May storm, under the turbulent public opinion and undercurrents that could shake the royal family, no one was able to give enough warnings and suggestions to the royal family...

"The former head of the Royal Confidential Bureau, Dean de Beaumont, known as the Cavaliers in Dress, was one of the best customers of those of us who walk on the edge." The old hunter Ajax recalled to Jiang Tian again. Said: "Although he is a bit stingy with money, or likes to care about details; but most of the time, he is still an honest knight who values ​​reputation and honor, keeps his promises, and never breaks his promises."

"Unfortunately, ever since the Burning Sun King and the Scorching Sun King passed away one after another, and King Gugao was assassinated and disappeared in the 17th year of his reign, the functions of the Confidential Bureau have deteriorated to the point of being paralyzed. Even the temporary eyeliner's remuneration has been unable to be paid. Otherwise, why would the former royal family in the capital have failed to escape several times and leaked information about external contacts, and finally fell into the hands of the mob..."

But in any case, compared to the capital that has been destroyed by the riots, and has been dug three feet from the inside out, burned and looted, the headquarters of the Royal Confidential Bureau and various strongholds; this is located in the southern Great Crown, The secret storage space under the ruins of the palace may be the last trace of its existence.

Especially in it, there are actually many records and items collected and collected from the disintegrated ancient hunter organization, scattered and lost by various factions; it is even more complete than what Ajax remembers.This makes people a little bit interesting; is the collapse and dispersion of the ancient hunter organization actually related to the confidential bureau of the royal family?
