Chapter 402, The Lake God Witch's Opinion

"I think this matter... I'm not very good at giving judgment." Ryan kicked the ball back to Morgiana, and he said with a smile: "My lord, can you first talk about the king's opinion and yours?" Are you going to? I need a moment to think."

"Come with me." Morgana gave Ryan a disappointed look. The Lake Goddess Witch knew that Ryan was actually quite smooth in dealing with the world, and he had a reason not to express his opinion on this matter.

No matter what his status is, Ryan is really not suitable to express his opinion. He can at most give some opinions in private.

But this is not what Morgiana wants. The idea of ​​the Lake God Witch is for Ryan to form a "small cabinet" with herself to discuss this matter.

The Witch of the Lake God walked towards the third floor with Ryan on her arm. In the small restaurant on the third floor, several pastries and a pot of fruit tea had already been prepared. Firewood was burning in the fireplace. Morgiana first motioned for Ryan to sit at the small table One side: "Here are some pastries I made, try it!"

Ryan sat down and observed the pastries on the table. The lake goddess Morgiana made several exquisite pastries, the most famous of which were scones and cream trifle.

Cream trifle is a traditional dessert in Brittania, which is usually made of fruits, cakes or biscuits and cream layer by layer. Morgiana uses glass cups to serve this dessert. The layers and different toppings reveal the exquisite craftsmanship of the witch of the lake.

Scone is said to be named after a huge stone called the Stone of Scone when the second generation of knight King Lewis was crowned. This kind of scone is filled with raisins, cheese, jam and cream. It is also a kind of Brittany. Famous dim sum, must-have food for afternoon tea.

"Mmm! It's very delicious!" Ryan took a few bites, and the expression on his face completely stretched out.

"Do you like it? I have done a lot and have been waiting for you to come back." Seeing that Ryan liked it, some happy expressions finally appeared on Morgiana's cold face.

She has never known how to express her feelings. As the person who controls the highest power in the knight kingdom, the witch of the lake god, the first choice of the fairies in the lake and the spokesperson of the mortal world, she is very immature emotionally. She likes to find reasons for Ryan. There wasn't much he could do other than call the shots and stick to Ryan every chance he got.

The long-term recuperation life was quite boring, and Morgiana took the opportunity to learn a lot of cooking skills from the fairy in the lake. She suppressed her inner joy and joy, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Ryan, leaning on his shoulder :"nice! You love it."

Enjoying the winter afternoon tea, Ryan and Morgiana continued the previous topic.

"Richard finds it very difficult to make a decision on this matter. First of all, it is indeed a very, very bad act for Your Excellency Theodoric to fornicate a subordinate's wife, and the joint special lawsuit of nineteen nobles also needs to be dealt with, but There is a problem here, that is, Richard is unwilling to make major decisions during this period, Ryan, you know, he is about to abdicate." Morgiana straightened her skirt and leaned on Ryan.

"The matter of Duke Theodoric...is big or small, if Richard decides to punish Theodoric lightly or not, then the nineteen nobles will definitely have strong dissatisfaction, and if Richard Decided to punish Theodoric severely... Duke Theodoric will naturally be strongly dissatisfied with the king. Whether the king has the right to deal with such a complicated personal affair is still uncertain. Duke Theodoric himself But a legendary high-ranking paladin, the enchanted ax in his hand has killed bloodthirsty bat wolves and trolls!" Ryan complained in a low voice: "How to grasp this scale...It is very difficult for me to do it. Be sure, Richard's prestige is not enough to convince everyone."

"It is for this reason that Richard sent me a message from the Prophet of the Lake God, and he hoped that I would solve this problem." Morgiana's golden eyebrows frowned, and she looked confused about how to deal with this matter. Matter: "Theodoric's behavior has made him almost have no place to stay in the Principality of Berleon. No subordinate would want a Duke who may have a relationship with his wife at any time to continue to stay in the Principality.

And other duchies..."

"I will never allow Theodoric to take refuge with me, or I will not even let him enter the border." Ryan said unceremoniously.

"I think the great nobles in the kingdom must also think the same way. For their own interests and the safety of the house, no great noble is willing to accept him." Mogiana also thought about the whole thing: "Therefore, I can deduce that It is clear that the great nobles of the kingdom want to punish Theodoric severely."

So, the question comes back to how to deal with Duke Theodoric.

This is the most troublesome, because in Brittania, the duke title is extremely difficult to deprive, and the kingdom's laws fully protect the nobles, especially the twelve first-generation Holy Grail Knight families.

Like Musilon, the Duke of Meroving first fell, killed the king himself and raised the flag of rebellion, and then the Duke of Madred imprisoned the witch of the lake god, and then announced that he married the fairy of the lake as his wife and became the king. After the qualifications, he proclaimed himself king and provoked a civil war.

These two dukes have done earth-shattering things, and the end result is that they died, and the title of duke is still passed on. It can be seen that it is extremely difficult for Brittania to protect the nobles, and it is extremely difficult to obtain the title of nobility , It is also extremely difficult to deprive the title of nobility.

What Duke Theodoric did was indeed despicable, but in any case, he was still far from being deprived of the title of duke. He could still be the Duke of Berleon unless he voluntarily gave up and planned to pass it on to the heir.

The problem now is that Duke Theodoric just doesn't want to give up his title of duke, the king has nothing to do with him, and the witch of the lake god can't deprive him of his duke title for this reason, because it's against the rules.

Ryan and Morgiana discussed it, and finally felt that it was really difficult to deal with. In the end, the two discussed and decided to ask Duke Theodoric to apologize in private first, and then arrange a closed-door penance in a monastery far away from human habitation, praying to the fairy of the lake Forgive me, at least get through this time first.

By the time the discussion of this passage was over, the position where the Lake God Witch was sitting had moved from the chair to Ryan's lap. Morgana put her hands on her knees, and Ryan gently held her waist, both of them Individuals kissed together.

Feeling Ryan's breath, Morgiana felt her whole body was numb and numb instantly. Not only could she not exert any strength, but her body was also undergoing some changes. She complained in her heart that Ryan must have done something to her body, otherwise she would not It may become like this, especially the spirit pattern on the lower abdomen, silver light can be seen through the clothes, the wings on both sides have been fully opened, and the power inside has penetrated into Morgiana's soul and merged into one.

Morgiana rubbed her legs uncomfortably, and the white velvet stockings made a "rustling" sound. The Witch of the Lake and Ryan barely regained her senses after kissing for a while, and she immediately went on to the next topic with a blushing face: "By the way, Richard Do you know about the plan to pass the throne to Lawn?"

"This matter... has passed on your side? What is the wish of the lady?" Ryan knew that the important part was coming. He put his arms around Morgiana's waist and stroked, and said in the ear of the Lake God Witch: " Actually, I also want to be king, but..."

"Ryan, it's understandable that you want to be a king, but first of all, you don't have the title of Duke. Secondly, the Duke of Lawn is also a leader in Britannia in terms of internal affairs ability, personal military prowess, and command ability. I can't find it. Reasons for objection." Mogiana hesitated for a while, but told Ryan more of the truth.

"Indeed." Ryan looked at the thick fog outside the tower window, and the Earl knew that this matter was very difficult.

First of all, he is not a duke, this is a fatal injury, he is ready to seize the title of Duke Musillon, but the recovery of Musillon is not easy to accept, how many years has been fighting in Brittany, this curse The city is still standing here, he needs at least a few years to prepare.

Secondly, Ryan and Lawn have both comrade-in-arms friendship and good diplomatic relations. Ryan is a Holy Grail Knight, and so is Lawn. The identity of the Holy Grail Knight is doomed that they will not and cannot use some indiscriminate methods. The competition between the Holy Grail Knights has always been upright, and this is not a competition for Khorne's God's Chosen. Whoever has the fastest ax will speak.

Gods belong to gods, and mortals belong to mortals. If you want to become a king, you still have to follow the Basic Law... a new king can serve the people.

As my father-in-law said, the power belongs to the bottom, not the top.

"What I mean is, Ryan, you are already a great knight in the sanctuary, and you have a long lifespan. Why don't you let Lawn take over first? It won't be too long, you don't have the title of duke now, even if you propose a championship duel to decide the outcome, Richard You also have the right to refuse." Mogiana tried to say: "The throne needs to be crowned by a lady, you are the lady's god-chosen champion, you must abide by the rules set by the lady."

"I can wait, but I can't wait at the last moment. Your Excellency Lawn is indeed an excellent Holy Grail Knight, but because he is a Holy Grail Knight, once he becomes king, he will sit on the throne for at least seven or eighty years." The count shook his head helplessly: "I'll think of other ways, and discuss these matters with the lady by the way."

"The end is so close?" Mogiana's attitude changed slightly, and she said with some concern: "The whole process of abdication and ascension is not so fast, Richard still has at least two or three years before he abdicates, you still Think about how to get a duke title first."

"Let me see what I should do next." Ryan sighed, and then the earl suddenly remembered something, and he said with a smirk: "My lord, how many days have I owed you?"

Morgiana's face gradually blushed, and she was weakly hugged by a princess of Ryan, who took the initiative to wrap her arms around Ryan's neck and whispered silently: "Four days."

"Then I'll make it up for two days first, and then slowly make it up later?"

"But...you can...well, hurry up...carry me in, I've already..."

………… The dividing line shrouded in mist………

The matter of Theodoric, Duke of Berleon, quickly caused a huge wave in the circle of nobles in the kingdom under the spread of people with good intentions. Many dukes listed Duke Theodoric as an unwelcome entry object.

However, even when it was very critical, Duke Theodoric refused to abdicate. He firmly believed that he was always the Duke of Berleon, a descendant of the first Duke of Berleon, the Holy Grail Knight Balduin. After the affair and his chivalrous escapades, Theodoric had no intention of renouncing the title of duke.

This caused him to have a huge conflict with those married nobles. The Principality was once on the verge of civil war. Although Theodoric was a drunkard and a pervert, he was also a very good fighter. He was in the Principality Supporters and opponents within the country gathered, and civil war was imminent.

At this time, the order of the lake god witch Morgiana arrived, and the lady oracle said that Theodoric had made a big mistake and insulted the spirit of chivalry. He must seek salvation from the lady through penance and expedition until she was forgiven.

Morgiana ordered Theodoric to leave the Principality of Berleon before the date of this year's Holy Grail, and go to the Church of the Fairy of the Lake in the Principality of Bastogne to practice penance behind closed doors. Theodoric must pass the penance and conquest of the lady The enemy atones, until he regains his glory before he can return to the Principality of Berleon and continue to exercise his power as a duke.

This is a plan that everyone can accept. Duke Theodoric also knew that he was in trouble. He accepted it reluctantly, and began to gather his men and his followers to prepare for the Principality of Bastogne.

Meanwhile, the old world, Britannia, the cursed city of Mousillon.

The gloomy, dark corridors are full of dust and skulls. Inside the Merovingian castle, there are traces of curses everywhere. The corruption of the undead has covered Musillon for hundreds of years. In the past, this land has been continuously degraded. And will continue to breed.

Matthew Bard, the self-proclaimed Duke of Musillon, is sitting on the throne of Musillon. The throne room is full of rare treasures. Below him, ten Black Grail Knights and two Blood Knights have Sitting down, several vampire lords were also waiting for the order of Duke Musillon, and a witch spirit was serving the delicious blood of Matthew Bard's virgin.

Matthew Bard, who is covered in black cursed armor, supports his head with his hands. His handsome face is unnaturally pale, and the golden family crest on the black shield is hung behind his throne. The Duke of Musillon Squinting his eyes, he asked one of His Royal Highness' black Holy Grail knights: "So, what the godfather means is that I must seize the title of king of this kingdom, and then tell all the knights in the kingdom about the conspiracy of Bichi in the lake and the plan announced?"

"Manfred von Carstein is leading an army of vampires to attack Skaven. He must find the sword of Nagash, otherwise the Necromancer will not return. The Lich King is looking for the Crown of Witchcraft. Where is it and the next sacrifice, you must also show your value, Your Excellency Matthew Bud." A vampire lord said sharply.

"...the army left by the godfather is too little." Matthew Bard's eyes contained terrible and crazy hatred: "I will send troops, but not now, I still need enough time to recover Mu Xi Fortunately, the group of chivalrous patients in Britannia are also very weak due to the invasion of Chaos, and there will be no new chivalry war against Musilon in a short time .”

"Duke Theodoric will be exiled... Let's see if I can take this opportunity to do something in the Principality of Belaron." Matthew Bard naturally also learned about Duke Theodoric, Many plans began to emerge in his mind.

The meeting was still going on, and a vampire lord came in from outside. He took a scroll with powerful undead magic energy and sent it to Matthew Bard: "My Duke, this is a scroll from the Blackstone Stronghold in the Gray Mountains. I think you need to take a look."

Matthew Bard nodded, and he took the scroll with powerful undead magic energy.

Duke Musillon watched for a long time, and the expression on his face changed several times. The ten black Holy Grail knights did not move at all, while the vampire lord and the blood knights were curious about what happened on the scroll: "My Duke, Kai What did Muller say?"

Matthew Bard put down the scroll.

"Heinrich Kemmler, wants to form an alliance with our Musillon!"
