Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 438 The Nottingham Family

The messenger sent by the Grand Duke Handela was still the old acquaintance Earl Chuckywick, but his face was a little pale this time, and his expression was very depressed. After entering the big tent, he respectfully saluted the Second Hall: "The Principality of Handela The Earl of Nottingham Chugwick salutes the respected His Majesty the King."

His Royal Highness's face was sullen, angrily because Lorist refused to execute his offensive order, and the salute to Earl Churchwick seemed unheard of. He didn't come back to his senses until Grand Duke Feisabrun coughed repeatedly.

He waved his hand casually, and the Second Highness said impatiently: "Who, whoever has anything to say, do you have anything to say about the rebellion of Handra?"

The pale face of Count Churchwick was flushed instantly, and the second majesty's careless attitude and very rude words made him feel very angry. He straightened up and glared at the second majesty: "Your Majesty, please respect the honor of a nobleman. I am the Earl of Nottingham Churchwick, not that one! Besides, our Grand Duke is not a rebellion, he has never rebelled against the empire. !"

"Hehe, the rebel never confessed his crimes. As for you, an earl appointed by the rebel, it is already very polite for me to call you..." The second highness smiled without anger.

"Really, it turns out that your majesty regarded his ancestors as rebellious. If so, then I have nothing to say. But I really doubt that a person who regards his ancestors as rebellious has any qualifications to claim to inherit the great. The Christen Empire!" Earl Churchwick made a tit-for-tat confrontation without showing any weakness.

"What are you talking about?" The Second Highness was furious. What he cared about most was that he inherited the orthodoxy of the Christen royal family. Now he was accused by Earl Churchwick for no reason and was immediately violent, and he wanted to draw the sword and cut the messenger standing in front of him.

Chujwick sneered calmly.

Grand Duke Fesabrun had to come forward and round the court: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This messenger is the current Patriarch of the Nottingham family, a descendant of the blood knight Nottingham Jedvis. His title was bestowed by King Christen VI. , Not appointed by Grand Duke Handra..."

The Second Highness was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and asked in surprise, "Blood Knight Nottingham Jedves? Then how could he be with the Duke of Handela?"

The Second Highness understood that he had said something wrong. He could claim that Grand Duke Handela was rebellious, but he could not accuse the Nottingham family of rebellion. It would be a joke if it spread out. In the history of the Christen Empire, Christen VI was a very mediocre emperor, reigning for only seventeen years. In just seventeen years, he continued the policy of King Christian V and continued to launch an invasion war against the Ford Business Alliance. During his reign, he personally sent troops to the Valford Business Alliance only once.

That is to say, this time the imperial conquest has fulfilled the reputation of the Nottingham family. This expedition of King Christen VI was one of several major defeats in the history of the Christen Empire’s war against the Ford Business Alliance. Not only did the army be defeated, but even King Christen VI was also besieged. Among. Fortunately, the various armed forces of the commercial alliance at the time did not realize this. They were prepared to clean up the enemies that fled all the way, and then deal with the remnant enemies that had been surrounded. This is the principle of eating meat first and then chewing bones.

At this time, Baron Nottingham Jedvis, who had arrived late, led his family armed with a small force of more than 1,300 people to the battlefield, but the overall situation of the war had been fixed, and he was unable to recover, and could only clean up. The rout soldiers stood firmly on the defensive front. Near dusk, some of the nobles and ministers who had returned from the escape finally got together, only then did they discover that they had lost King Christen VI.

It's just that these nobles and ministers have long been horrified by the armed forces of the business alliance, and finally escaped, only knowing that each other's committee has left the responsibility of King Christen VI, and no one dares to lead the troops to find and rescue. Baron Nottingham Jedvis saw this feeling furious, and brought his family back to the battlefield to find the whereabouts of King Christen VI.

I don’t know how many times Baron Nottingham Jedvis has gone through battles and **** battles. In short, he was lucky to rescue King Christen VI, avoiding the great tragedy of the Emperor falling into the enemy’s hands. It was just that after he brought Christen VI out of the siege and returned, only Thirteen Cavaliers with more than 1,300 clan armed forces were still with him. But Lord Baron fell to the ground in a **** body, only to find that there were 46 wounds on his body...

Looking at the **** appearance of Baron Nottingham Jedvis, remembering his heroic figure who took the lead in charging, clearing the way for himself and protecting himself from the siege, Christon VI was very moved to call him his blood knight, and The title of Nottingham family was promoted from baron to earl on the spot. It was this failed battle that fulfilled the reputation of the unparalleled loyalty of the Nottingham family and became an example of noble knights.

His Royal Highness did not hear the name of the family that Earl Churchwick had reported, and even called him a rebelliously appointed Earl. This was indeed self-defeating. King Christen VI should be his great-grandfather, and the Nottingham family is the earl of Christen VI personally promoted. This is a fact that all the noble families of the Empire know.

"Your Majesty, the Nottingham family territory is in Westwood Province. During the Civil War in the Empire, Westwood Province was entrusted to the Grand Duke Handra and became the jurisdiction of the Handra family. Later, when the armistice agreement was signed, it belonged to Handra Duchy. So the Nottingham family became a nobleman in the territory of Grand Duke Handela.” Grand Duke Feisabrun explained.

After listening to Grand Duke Feisabrun’s explanation, His Royal Highness made an unexpected move. He walked up to Earl Churchwick and bowed solemnly: "I'm sorry, Nottingham Churchey. Lord Wake, I sincerely apologize to you for my gaffe and rudeness. Please forgive my ignorance and offense."

Count Churchwick was moved, and he quickly reached out and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite. I took the liberty to ask to see you and didn't make it clear to make you make a mistake. I can't afford to be your gift."

His Royal Highness smiled and said: "If you make a mistake, you can correct it, as long as the Lord Earl of Nottingham doesn't take offense."

Earl Churchwick waved his hand again and again: "Your Majesty, just call my name, please don't call me the Earl of Nottingham..."

"Oh, why is this?"

"Your Majesty, let me inherit the title and territory before my father's death. The final words say that the Nottingham family now belongs to the Duchy of Handra. You should not use the name Nottingham until the empire is restored. You can only add the title to the title. He said Nottingham It will always be Nottingham of the Christian Empire..."

After hearing the statement of Earl Churchwick, the Second Highness was very moved: "The Nottingham family is indeed an example of the imperial aristocracy, a symbol of loyalty!"

After sighing, he took a look at Lorister, Lorist pouted...

"Come on, please sit down, Lord Chujiwick. Come here, have tea, and let the pantry steward prepare the banquet. I want to entertain the Lord Earl." The Second Highness instructed the guards beside him.

After the guests and hosts were seated, the second Highness asked with a smile: "Earl Churchillwick, I wonder if you have any advice for coming this time?"

Count Churchwick said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I am here this time by the order of Grand Duke Handela. The main reason is to ask how your Majesty can agree to the peace and truce of the four princes in the middle. ?"

His Royal Highness shook his head: "Lord Earl, I cannot forgive the rebellious behavior of the four great princes in the middle. I respect the loyalty of the Nottingham family. If you want to return to the kingdom, I welcome it. But I hope Lord Earl you will not entangle with those rebellions. Together."

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. The four princes in the middle are not rebellious, and they have never betrayed you." Earl Churchwick argued.

"Have you not betrayed me? Haha, I captured the Kingdom of Ridleys back then. If the four principalities in central China raised their flags accordingly, the empire would have been unified. But the four rebels refused to remove the title of the principality, greed for power, and refused to return to the restored empire. On the contrary, they linked up with the rebellious bandits of the Commercial Alliance and the Kingdom of Ridley, and resisted with all their troops. In the end, my efforts to unify the empire were defeated, and the defeat would cost the city. I swear that these rebellious crimes will be deserved. No matter what, they can't stop my determination to reunify and rejuvenate the empire." The Second Highness stood up and said angrily that he would never forgive the rebellious behavior of the four grand princes in the middle.

Count Churchwick applauded: "Your Majesty, I appreciate your efforts to rejuvenate and unify the empire. All the nobles who are loyal to the empire understand your determination. But you are still wrong. The four princes in the middle have never betrayed you. They are not. The rebellion of the empire.

As we all know, the families of the four grand princes in the central region have been loyal since the time of the empire. Whether it is to conquer the rebels or send troops to the business alliance, they have always sent troops and have never let the empire down. The grand duke’s family sacrificed many family members for the empire.

Until the outbreak of the civil war in the empire, the three kings fought for the throne. The four princes in the middle of the country have always supported the king, thinking that he is the orthodox inheritance of the Christen royal family. They insisted on resisting the temptation and wooing of the prince and the second prince. , And even suffered **** revenge from the elder prince and the second prince, the territory was greatly damaged. Because of this, the former king entrusted the remaining four provinces of the central region to the jurisdiction of the four princes in order to reward them. Your Majesty, will you deny these facts?

Only with the support of the four princes in the central region, the army of the first king defeated the prince and the second prince. When the rebellion was about to be put down, the prince Madras accidentally raised the anti-flag and split the four princes in the central region. The connection channel with the imperial capital and the civil war in the imperial capital continued. The four grand princes of the central region were also forced to defend themselves in a group because of the exhaustion of their soldiers in successive years, and they were unable to send troops to quell the chaos.

It was not until the business alliance sent people to mediate that the armistice agreement was signed to quell the civil war in the empire, and the four central states were established, and at that time the king's approval was obtained. The four grand princes told the ancestors that once the Antinac Kingdom had hope of rejuvenating the empire, they would surely respond to the embrace of returning to the empire. For this reason, they were hated by the prince, and shortly after the establishment of the four principalities in the central part, they were attacked by the prince. The battle lasted for three years.

At that time, the kingdom of Antinac was assassinated, and it was chaotic. It was not until His Majesty took power that the kingdom was stabilized. At that time, your majesty was fighting hard, and the four great princes in the middle of the country did not care about the poverty of the people, and received letters of help from your majesty. They squeezed money out of their teeth to support your majesty. Your majesty, is this true?

When His Majesty’s powerful troops made a surprise raid, and the King’s City defeated the Kingdom of Radlis, the four great princes in the central part and our nobles in the principality were all very happy, thinking that the revival of the empire was hopeful. But when his Majesty's soldiers approached the four principalities in the central part of the country, they suddenly put forward a demanding request, so that the four central princes removed their country names and moved them to other places, and the place where they were moved still belonged to the Principality of Madras. Why? Your Majesty, you would give such an order. Where can the four princes in the middle of the country be sorry for you and the kingdom? What mistake did they make that made you treat them like this? Can an excuse not to send troops to help be convincing?

When the news came, almost all the nobles of the principality were aggrieved. You didn’t even show up and asked one of your knights to announce such an order to us. That’s why the four princes in the central region would fight against each other. Joined their subordinates. Your Majesty, we are not rebellious, we are just resisting unfair orders. This is what all aristocrats with conscience will do! The four princes of central China are not rebellious, nor are we rebellious! "

The more Earl Churchwick spoke, the more emotional he became, and Lorist laughed beside him. He had heard of this version of the story once, but it was a rare scene to question the second majesty in this way. He believed that with the disposition of the Second Highness, he would make such a decision. Back then, he held a 300,000 army to surprise the city. He was triumphant and self-confident. It was not a problem to unify the empire. Therefore, the Second Highness gave the four principalities in the middle. It is not surprising to offer such conditions, it can only be said that he had been dazzled by the victory.

The Second Highness glared at Lorister with a black face, and said to Earl Churchwick with embarrassment: "Sorry, Lord Earl, at that time, when I made a surprise attack on Federica King City, I caught a cold and was injured when I went over the snowy mountain. , I have been ill in bed. I have never issued such unfair orders. It is possible that my knights have misunderstood my will and caused such a misunderstanding..."

The Second His Royal Highness pushed all the mischief at the time on the knights who died in battle, but he was indeed seriously ill at that time ~ www.readwn.com ~ rarely appeared in front of others.

Earl Churchwick did not expect the Second Highness to answer this way, and he immediately reacted: "Your Majesty, since it is a misunderstanding, is it possible to stop fighting now? The war between the kingdom and the four central duchy all hurt the vitality of the empire. The four princes of the central region have never opposed returning to the embrace of the empire, and they also hope to rejuvenate the great Christen empire."

His Royal Highness groaned for a while, and then sat down again: "My Lord Earl, I think Grand Duke Handela should have made their request when you came. Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, the four grand princes of the central region are willing to remove the title of duchy and return to your subordinates, and at the same time, they are willing to offer you three million golden ford donations. The only requirement is to stay in their traditional family territory." Earl Chujwick Succinctly and concisely showed the minimum requirements of the four grand princes in central China.

Lorist blinked at Grand Duke Feisabrun, meaning to see, the one million Golden Ford that they promised to give to our two families is gone, and now they are all dedicated to the Second Highness.

"Well, Lord Earl, you will rest here for a few days first, and I will consider this request carefully." The Second Highness said to Earl Churchwick very kindly.
