Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 250 Two Things (Two in One)

In fact, La Rochelle's control over its eastern natural place, the Amasir region, is far less powerful than the people think.The area to the west of Amasir and the area close to the eastern provinces is fine. The further east, the weaker the control of La Rochelle.

After all, La Rochelle itself is a kingdom dominated by humans.During the years when the country was founded, it did cooperate with many natural races, and there are also various races in the country, but La Rochelle's own policy is to "do not interfere much with the autonomy of other races" and give them the greatest respect with freedom.

Therefore, most of the land in the Amasir region is idle, and only a few are the territories of the nobles—but not many nobles are willing to ask for a fief in the eastern region, because it is not easy to deal with the interpersonal relationship with natural races matter.

Cyril chose the eastern region as the starting point of development, because no one would give him too much interference and pressure.At that time, even if his expansion caught the attention of the nobles in the Amasir area, he would have plenty of ways to deal with it.

But how could he have imagined that just as he was sure that he could get a title, two shackles were shackled on his body——

One, from Darrow Ruskin, if the inspector known as "Mad Dog" targets him, he may have to hold back many of the tricks he intends to use-of course, many of them are trampled on. The plan of dancing on the edge of La Rochelle's law, once someone supervises it, it will catch one.

The other one is the possible pressure from the kingdom of Palannia that the eldest princess said.

As he pondered, a dignified look naturally appeared on his face.However, his expression didn't last long, but he heard a "puchi" laugh in front of him.He looked up, and it was Anastasia who laughed.

"You always keep a straight face, making people think that you are not 15 years old, but 150 years old-if it weren't for the half-elf 150 years old, you should have the appearance of a normal adult, I really thought that Hai Luoqing was falsely reporting your age. Anastasia waved her hands, "Mr. Adrian, what is causing you so much trouble?"

"Ah?" Cyril was taken aback for a moment, but saw Anastasia standing up, walking to Heloise's side, and naturally lifting Heloise's chin with one hand - she was tall and tall, Heloise Si is a little shorter than her, so at this moment, she can only raise her head along her hand and look at her.

She was close to Heloise's body, and the scene of the two beauties who were almost glued together made Cyril unable to take his eyes off, but Anastasia's laughter suddenly sounded again, making his Consciousness pulled back:

"It seems that you still have the reaction of a young man—but ten years ago, although Hai Luoqing liked to pretend to be reserved, she never had a dignified expression like yours, and sometimes she would smile foolishly."

"Your Highness, please be careful." Heloise interrupted her words, but did not move her chin from her hand.

The eldest princess hooked her finger under Heloise's chin twice, and then reluctantly withdrew her finger. Then, she walked slowly in the room with her hands behind her back.

"That's the matter of titles first. Unfortunately, my father will leave for northern Xinjiang tomorrow, so I can't preside over the award ceremony for you—of course, that kind of thing is actually not important, and a piece of official document is enough to prove you Tomorrow, Lord Hai Luo will send your title certificate and territory certificate to you, and then let's talk about other things."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness."

Cyril took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions - those troublesome things can't be resolved here at the moment, so it's better to listen carefully to what the eldest princess wants to say next.

"First thing, about what Darrow did this morning—I'll give him a rap so he doesn't mess with you."

Cyril was startled, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, can you command that... that Darrow Raskin?"

"Let's say yes, if he still has me in his eyes - he was promoted by me." Anastasia smiled, "So you don't have to worry too much, at least he won't do something too outrageous." things."

She watched Cyril's eyebrows stretch, smiled, and continued: "As for your loss, I don't have a weapon in my treasury that can match your broken sword..."

fart!

Cyril almost cursed, the princess's words were clearly lying, no matter how top-quality his sword was, it was only of a high-quality level, and there were at least three swords of epic rank in the treasure house of the princess. Which sword would not crush him?
But he still had a polite smile on his face. He was just about to speak, trying to trick the eldest princess into opening the treasure house to him again, but Anastasia's next words had already sounded:

"But I have a treasure map, which happens to be in the Amasir region—"

"Your Highness!" Before Cyril could speak, Heloise suddenly called out, but she was glanced at by Anastasia, so she could only shut her mouth in embarrassment and listened to Anastasia's words. continued:

"This treasure map is not complete. I don't know exactly where the treasures are and how difficult it is. If you have the opportunity and are lucky enough, you may be able to obtain the dusty treasures in it. and give it to you."

The half-elf boy hurriedly bowed and saluted, with restraint and surprise on his face, as well as a hint of joy, as if he was very pleasantly surprised.

But in his mind, the distribution of treasures in that forest, hidden ruins, etc., etc., have already appeared, and he began to think about the rank of the treasure map given by the eldest princess——From his experience, The best thing about Anastasia is that she is generous enough to not be stingy.

This may be her means of winning people's hearts, and receiving every gift from her represents a heavy favor, but Cyril doesn't care - if he still hoped that the eldest princess who would "rebel" in the future when he was in the north , iris and other unstable factors have all disappeared, then his thoughts at the moment are only two words:
"It's so fragrant!"

As for whether the eldest princess' position will shift again, he has clearly analyzed that if there were no tragedies such as La Rochelle's desperation, the eldest princess would have no reason to go another way.

When Cyril sat under the bright galaxy of the Magic Plain and sorted out the information in his mind, he also thought about whether the road advocated by "Free Iris" was more suitable for this country.

If he really intends to save the people in this country who are about to fall into misery, then what he has to do may not simply follow the course of history and prevent the tragedy from happening.

Instead, to trace the source of all these, to trace the deeper contradictions.Only when his analysis and understanding of the situation reaches a certain level, can he be able to judge which path is correct.

And at that time, as a time traveler and he has already gained part of the eldest princess's trust, if he still can't change the eldest princess's thoughts——

Then what he did as a time traveler must have been too much of a failure.

Anastasia smiled and looked at the half-elf boy who was saluting to her, until Cyril straightened up, and then said slowly:
"Then next—"

As she spoke, she pulled out a chair and sat down, signaling with her eyes that both Cyril and Heloise should find a place to sit down.When both of them were seated, she continued:

"What I'm going to say next is all my own words, just some of my personal thoughts."

A puzzled look appeared on Heloise's face, while Cyril's eyes lit up, staring closely at Anastasia, expecting what she would say next.

"Solkonan has been anxious about the Amasir area for a long time."

Anastasia's first words made Cyril's body tremble, and she couldn't help but sit up straighter, and she continued:

"The attitude of the natural race has always been very ambiguous. We can't guarantee that they will always be on our side. They chose to follow the La Rochelle people to open up a new land 400 years ago, but that was because the Ou Saint-Eyes at that time Slavery in Mary reached its peak. And now, 400 years later, it is not only us who are changing, but also our opponent, Saint Emma—”

She looked up at the swaying chandelier above her head, glanced at Cyril intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of her eye, and said softly:

"Perhaps, Amasir needs a voice to unify it."

As if she didn't see the boy's unstoppable expression, she continued:
"In the next few years, the kingdom's focus will be on the north, south and west. As for the eastern region, the kingdom has no other energy to take care of, so unless Ao San Emma crosses the forest, some of the nobles' own 'small I don't think the capital has the energy to pay attention to the contradictions and frictions of the little ones, after all, we have always let Amasir go."

After she finished speaking this long series of words, she leaned back on the back of the seat lazily, seeing Cyril's expression that she no longer knew how to "pretend", she suddenly blinked.

Then she waved her hand lazily: "That's all I want to say, I'm sleepy, Sir Hero, let Sir Adrian go back."

Cyril stood up quickly, and Heloise quickly stepped forward and opened the door, sending the half-elf boy away from the manor.

It wasn't until seeing Cyril disappear into the night that Heloise returned to the living room, only to find that the Eldest Princess was flipping through the piles of parchment again, her face showing no signs of fatigue.

"Your Highness..." She hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

And Anastasia raised her head and glanced at her lightly: "Miss Hailuo."

"Yes." Heloise responded quickly. She saw Anastasia waving to her, and hurried over, and was embraced by the stretched arms of the princess, and sat on the legs of the princess. superior.

"Your Highness, I haven't removed my armor yet..." she said hastily, she was still wearing soft armor, so it would definitely not be comfortable to touch the eldest princess.

But Anastasia didn't let go, and didn't make any more movements. She just wrapped her arms around her waist and said softly, "Do you think I gave him too much?"

Heloise was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes... Although he does have great potential, I see different hopes in him."

"Even you have seen it, of course I see farther than you. Mrs. Hailuo, none of the words I said to myself just now are lies."

"Then you really intend to let him go..." Heloise said in surprise.

"Hey, if he has the ability, I'd love to see him rise in the East, maybe he can bring more surprises." Anastasia chuckled, "And just like Darrow Ruskin Similarly, with my promotion today, he will stand on my side in the future, not to mention that he is still a knight and has the blood of an elf, and honesty is their common virtue."

Heloise was a little puzzled: "But what if he fails?"

"Failed?" Anastasia laughed again, "That can only show that our expectations of him are too high—although he does have a high possibility of failure, his opponent in the Eastern Region is not easy. ..."

Heloise was silent, she quietly waited for Anastasia to continue speaking, but not long after, she heard a burst of even breathing behind her.

Smelling the fragrance of her hair, the eldest princess fell asleep leaning against her back.

------

Cyril opened the front of his coat, rode his horse and let the chilly night wind blow his face and chest, but it was still not enough to make his skin and cheeks flushed with excitement. The heat subsides.

Whether it is to determine the ownership of the title, the location of the fief, or the treasure map as compensation, it is not as good as the "self-talk" of the eldest princess.

The meaning of these words translates to "The kingdom will not care about your internal struggles in Amasir. As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter if you can take down the entire east and defeat other nobles."

Even the Eldest Princess will go along with the flow and give a title similar to Grand Duke Frost and Snow to those who unify the east.

In addition, what the eldest princess said personally, to beat Darrow Raskin - this means that he can use his own moves without hesitation, and can quickly start to expand after accumulating some strength.

At this time, in Cyril's eyes, he has a legal claim that will not expire in the entire Amasir region. As long as he is strong enough, he can "declare war" on the rest of the nobles at any time and turn their fiefs into his own!

And more importantly, he is a half-elf - in his plan, dealing with the relationship with the natural race is the top priority, as long as he is sure about this, he doesn't have to worry about over-expansion. Reduced stability.

After all, it is the territory of natural races.

He returned to the Magic Plain in a good mood, imagining a step-by-step plan along the way, and even forgot about the external pressure.He walked through the forest in the magic plain, walked through the shallow stream, returned to the silent castle, poured himself a glass of wine in the dark, raised his head and drank it down, and then narrowed his eyes comfortably——

But at this moment, the light suddenly turned on.

The sound of small footsteps came from the stairs, and the mage lady in nightgown stood on the stairs, looking at him quietly.
