Chapter 153 Two Letters

Lothar woke up from the darkness, and subconsciously touched his neck—the cold sharp blade wiped his neck. This feeling can only be known after trying it.

"Have a nightmare?"

Prajna's cold voice made Lothar's fiery emotions of fighting to the end on the battlefield gradually calm down.

Seeing Prajna, Lothar always has a feeling of peace of mind that no matter how serious things are, she will not be moved.

Is this the peace of mind brought by the reloaded iron guard?

"That's it."

Lothar wiped the sweat from his forehead, got up and said, "I'm going to wash my face, don't follow me, I'll be back soon."

Banruo stopped standing up, thought for a while, nodded and said: "Well, with your current attainments in blood magic, you shouldn't have any problems like last time."

She lay back on the bed and pulled the quilt over her chest.

In the middle of the night at Constance Manor, everything is quiet.

After Lothar washed his face with the cold fountain water in the courtyard, he suddenly felt something and looked back.

He saw Jeanna standing in front of the window, wearing a thin shirt, looking down at him slightly.

Her expression is very complicated.

Lothar is the same.

But the two didn't talk, just nodded at each other, and then returned to the room.

Lothar tucked in the quilt for Fringila, who was not in an honest sleeping position, and lay down again.

Immediately, the second simulation was started without hesitation.

[You started the second simulation——you were awakened in the castle of Chinon, touching the non-existent wound on your neck, feeling lingering fear. 】

[Facing the harsh situation right now, you decide——]

Lothar scanned the three options given, and said without hesitation: "Can I choose the fourth option?"

【You who have been reborn have become stubborn. You ignored the advice of your courtiers and chose a brand new path. You decided—】

In front of Lothar's eyes, rays of light began to appear.

When the angle of view is pulled down, the picture becomes vivid.

He looked around and found that he was in the hall of a castle. Two full sets of knight plate armor were placed on the weapon rack, and the fleur-de-lis coat of arms of France was hung directly above the hall.

There is a small hourglass at the top right of the viewing angle.

Lothar knew that this meant that he only had such a short time as the hourglass elapsed for him to move freely.

Without hesitation, he picked up a pen and started writing on the desk in front of him.

He wants to write two letters, one to Richard, Duke of York, or his guardian Lothar, trying to kick off the War of the Roses in advance.

Henry VI is still just a young boy, otherwise he would not need two dukes to separate the regents, and his position is not stable.

The reason why no one has stood up to challenge Henry VI's throne is because the British have been winning, but if they are frustrated on the battlefield, it may not be necessarily the case.

And Richard, Duke of York, was the one who stood up to challenge the throne of the Lancaster family in the original historical line.

Of course, with just a few words from him, it is impossible to persuade Richard now. This is just a prelude to detonating the War of the Roses in advance.

The second letter was still addressed to the Duke of Burgundy.

Last time, the letter to Philip, Duke of Burgundy, didn't work if he didn't believe it, and Philip was by no means an idiot.

The only possibility is that the price tag has been lowered.

However, Lothar also knew his current situation, and he couldn't afford anything more than a blank check.

Pick up the pen and start writing.

Since Lothar is not Charles VII, he has no deep-rooted hatred with Duke Philip, so he does not feel ashamed to write a sentence of hypocritical polite words.

Dear brother-in-law, cousin, dear Philip, I am Charlie.

I know that you may not want to read my letter, but please allow me to defend myself. The assassination of your father, who was also my uncle's attendant, was definitely not ordered by me.

I have found out that he is under the control of witches instructed by the English, with the intention of sowing discord between our brothers, so as to achieve their goal of invading France and dominating Europe.

In this matter, I swear on the honor of Capet-Valois, our common surname, and the ancestor of our family, Hugo Capet, and let God bear witness that I am absolutely true.

Lothar's pen tip paused slightly, subconsciously looked up at the huge hanging in the castle, the portrait of the first king of Capet, Hugo Capet, felt a little guilty for some reason.

He continued:
Dear Philip, even if you still don't believe what I say, I must warn you of one thing.

Ask yourself, to this day, do you still think you can claim the throne of France?
No, it's impossible.

The Lancaster family, which won the British and French thrones, will be an extremely terrifying behemoth. In the future, you can only submit to the British barbarians on the other side of the strait.

If you will help me, even if it means remaining neutral in the ensuing war, I will promise you: after I have been crowned king and driven out the British.

I will support you, expand eastward, annex Lorraine, Brabant, Holland, Liege, Outer Jura Burgundy, Savoy.

I will support you in obtaining another crown, a crown not inferior to that of France - the crown of Lotharlingia.

You will be a new king between France and the Holy Roman Empire.

My dear Philip, now that Sigismund, the ruler of Shinra, is at war with the Hussite heretics, and the Lord of Shinra is in a state of disunity, isn't it better to continue to focus on the crown of France, which is destined to have nothing to do with you ?
As brothers of the Valois family, we should have supported each other, not opposed as we are now.

These words are all from the bottom of my heart, Brother Wang, there is absolutely no falsehood, I hope my brother will seriously consider it.

Seal the letter and affix the crown prince's seal.

After sending it out, Lothar's perspective returned to the void.

【You have sent two crucial secret letters. The messenger you selected is also your most trusted attendant. However, it will take time for the letters to be delivered. The impact they will bring will gradually appear in the future. 】

[Half a month later, you were looted by the enemy in the territory of Champagne. The opponent was Baron Bettner and his [-] soldiers. 】

This time, Lothar chose the first option without hesitation-sending troops to rescue!
His perspective was pulled down again, and he witnessed a group of elite knights in full body armor, under his leadership, drive out of Chinon's castle.

Along the way, he continued to gather soldiers, and finally confronted the British army led by Bettner at the junction of Champagne and Lorraine.

The war is extremely tragic.

Even without personally controlling the body, the Charles VII played by Lothar still possesses incomparably brave strength, even some knights with extraordinary power are not his opponents.

[The war is over, you successfully saved this border village that was about to be burned, and your unparalleled performance on the battlefield was honored by the astonishing knights and soldiers—Charlie the Brave]

Lothar remembered that he also had such a title in reality, but now, it should have been replaced by "Dragon Slayer".

He continued to watch.

[You broke the myth that the British army was invincible, your subjects' confidence in the war began to show signs of being rekindled, and your poor personal image has also been treated differently by people]

[At this time, a girl holding a knight sword rushed out of the village. She claimed to have received God's revelation and wanted to help you drive away the British]

Your choices are: A. You decide to give her trust, reuse her, and appoint her as the commander of your army.

B. You decide to let priests and bishops test her to see if she is a crazy woman who can only talk.

C. Go away, stupid woman pretending to be a ghost!
