Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 238 Palace Interview
Huge white columns prop up the courtyard. Behind the three towers is a wide square, and further forward is the main hall that presides over the administration of La Rochelle.

But this time the arrival of Cyril and the others was not a formal discussion of politics, but just an interview, so the venue was not in the main hall.

Cyril followed Heloise in the long corridor to a special conference room.Sunlight passes through the painted glass, casting the reflections of the characters on the mottled ground.The shadows of the two quickly overlapped with the shadows of the pillars and then crossed, and then stopped in front of a corner.

Anastasia Herman, wearing a light dress that was not too gorgeous, was leaning against a white column.In front of her, a child with soft white short hair was holding a wooden sword and wielding it earnestly, but without any posture.

Seeing the figures of Cyril and Heloise, Anastasia straightened up, and the child who was about to reach her waist immediately put away the little sword and hid behind her, not even moving his little head. She leaned out from behind, obviously terrified of being born.

"Your Highness." The two stepped forward and bowed to salute, but Anastasia said without the slightest hint of politeness:

"I heard that you have some friction with Abt?"

Abt Marcellus is the full name of Duke Marcellus.

With embarrassment on her face, Heloise leaned back again and said, "It was my mistake, Your Highness."

Cyril thought that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess would punish Heloise at this time. After all, although she and the southern nobles were at odds with each other, it was absolutely impossible to tear their faces apart.

Who would have thought that Anastasia's beautiful eyebrows immediately raised, and with joyful eyebrows, she stepped forward and patted Heloise on the shoulder: "Well done, Sir Hero, give those things in the south a little color." have a look!"

Heloise shook her head: "Your Highness, Adrian handled it well this time."

Only then did the eldest princess shift her gaze to Cyril, the joy on her face remained unchanged: "Of course, of course, you did a very good job, but Adrian, I am more concerned about why you chose that piece of armor— — To be honest, I don't feel any power on that armor, can it really help you? But don't forget that you just provoked that Xie Li, he wants to tear you apart."

"Please don't worry about this." Cyril said seriously, of course he believed in his own vision, not to mention that the bone breastplate was not without power, it was just more "exclusive".

"Come with me to meet the King Father. The ministers and nobles are almost here—by the way, there are not many military personnel included this time. I hope you can pick some topics that will interest the ministers."

Anastasia spoke quickly, but found that Cyril's eyes were not looking at her at this time, but at her waist.She lowered her head, and the child poked out her head quietly at this time, looking at Cyril with beautiful eyes, blinking and blinking.

At this time, Cyril squatted down halfway, put one hand on his chest, and saluted the child:

"His Royal Highness Prince."

That's right, this shy child who is still cowardly hiding behind Her Highness the Princess, who looks only seven or eight years old, is the future La Rochelle who will inherit the so-called La Rochelle orthodoxy and move the capital to a corner of the bay after the fall of the royal capital. The future king of Seoul.

Alexey Hermann.

Cyril didn't know what kind of mood he was in. Facing this prince who was not yet ten years old at this time, Alexey Herman was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he took the throne urgently. Uehara should have inherited the throne from his older sister, if that hadn't happened...

Cyril didn't want to use redundant words to evaluate the future king. He was a gentle and weak king, but when he was in power, the south of La Rochelle, which was still relatively stable, was closer to the royal family than ever before, which guaranteed the prosperity of the new capital. Stability and development - if it hadn't been for St. Emma to ignore the obstacles of the original church and launch an annexation of La Rochelle again, perhaps for a few more years, by 1460, La Rochelle would be able to start heading north counterattack.

And he couldn't get hooked on cowardice. When facing the earth dragon army that Ao Shengemma rushed into the city, the king, who had never had much majesty, stood on the top of the city and encouraged the remaining soldiers to pull out Long swords, organized formations, and finally a heroic death——

Anastasia was a little surprised, after all Alexei rarely even left the palace, yet Cyril recognized him.But considering that she looks similar to her younger brother, it's understandable.

Cyril stood up and saluted again.At this time, a maid came and pulled the little prince away.And Anastasia coaxed her brother a few words, and then there was no relief on her face.

"Come on, Adrian."

She walked ahead and stopped at a purple-red wooden gate.The soldier slowly opened the door, revealing the long table inside and the people who had already sat at the table——

The nobles and ministers on the left and right are mixed, sitting according to their official positions and status, without any special distinction.But just by looking at the people whispering and talking, you can easily read who is "central" and who is "Southern."

Heloise didn't follow in, this was not an occasion for her to stay.Cyril found a place to sit down at the lower head, and Darren Xie Li happened to be opposite.

The rough face of a savage kept making expressions of cursing or mocking at him the moment he saw him, and Darren even pulled up his collar, intending to show his strong chest muscles to shock Cyril.

But Cyril didn't even look at him.Cyril watched Anastasia sit at the top, second only to the main seat, and the main seat and the seat opposite her were still vacant-of course the main seat was reserved for King Kelson Herman , and the other position is reserved for whom.

He looked around and saw several familiar faces, including Foreign Secretary Blake Evans.No nobles from the southern faction whispered to him, and it seemed that his position was very neutral.

I just don’t know if he has any news about Cyril from his son Qing Evans. If he can stand on Cyril’s side, it will be a great help to him-the foreign minister is the most important member of the court in recent years. The hot red man, whether it is the diplomatic situation in the West or the South, can turn in a good direction, and the credit of Blake Evans is indispensable.

Of course, many people showed a lot of interest in Cyril. As soon as he sat down, several eyes turned to him. Although listening to the wind can clearly hear their whispers, using it at this time may reduce the so-called Cyril let them talk about the "impression points".

Not long after, the gate was slowly opened again amidst a long announcement from the guards, and two slowly walking figures appeared in everyone's sight.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and the Bishop!"
