Chapter 848, Lonely

"The first thing to bring with you this time is Oliver and Hadrian, they are specialized merchants." Ryan first named the names of the two merchants: "I think that the army is not allowed to do business, and the business with the high elves must be Leave it to professionals, Oliver has the exclusive privilege of wood elf goods, and Hadrian, Lustria, and the Legion of Ashes often deal with each other, so they must take it with them."

"In addition to these two merchants, the three battalions of the Old Guard, the Great Sword Battalion, the Long Halberd Battalion, and the Musketeer Battalion, the newly formed Musillon Coldstream Guards have also been brought along, although this regiment now only has The establishment of two battalions." Ryan continued: "I have appointed Lord Philip Mountbatten, a local aristocrat of Musillon, as the head of the Coldstream Guards, and at the same time, I have also drawn from the Old Guards. Oudinot the Great Swordsman will be his lieutenant."

"Also, since my father said, Suria, the Coldstream Guards, you will be in charge." Ryan said with deep meaning: "This army will be entrusted to you for the first mission. "

"Okay." Su Liya didn't say much, she just agreed immediately.

"In addition, Baron Juan will also take a team of Sun Knights with us." Ryan nodded: "There is also Beria, and a small number of our attendants, that's all, Alfred If you want to prepare for the wedding, don't bother him."

"That's all? Don't you think about it? For example, diplomatic ambassadors, such as Sylvia?" Su Liya thought that the number of people brought by Ryan was indeed a bit small: "Or can you also bring a few Holy Grail knights?"

"Don't think about it, that's all." Ryan said directly: "Okay, did Devon Hill send it to Karard?"

"Send it." Suria turned pale, and the female knight realized something from her husband's attitude, and she hurriedly said: "Devon Hill and Karard have been in contact many times, and Karard will be a good godfather .”

"Very good, now that the arrangements are made, let's do it accordingly." Ryan stood up, Suria got up quickly, and the female knight took Ryan's arm: "What's wrong? It's so late, you still have to go out ?”

"I'm going to take a shower." Ryan smiled: "When I come back, madam, and don't change your clothes~"

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Suria stood on tiptoe and kissed Ryan's lips. The queen seemed to want to say something more, but Ryan signaled no. A kiss on the lips.

It wasn't until Ryan closed the door that the smile on Suria's face disappeared. The female knight stomped her feet lightly, then kicked off her high heels, patted the sofa in frustration and frustration, and reached for her beloved bear doll in arms.

She knew that she had done something wrong this time, and Ryan was angry. As Ryan's queen, she had always received enough respect and great autonomy, but she still made mistakes. Suria summed up the main reasons for the two The first reason is that it took her only a few days to break through the bottleneck of the sanctuary under the guidance of Ryan's father, which made Suria feel a little swollen. Lius is still stuck at the pinnacle of legend and cannot make progress, and Suria, who was raised as a female knight since she was a child, has indeed lost some opportunities to go to the battlefield after marriage.

Second, the personal charm of Ryan's father is still very strong, and even though he is cold and full of majesty, Suria can feel his attention and concern for her, she can't control her thoughts immediately told him.

Now it seems that this is a wrong choice. Suria is holding the teddy bear that Ryan gave her. This bear was a gift bought by Ryan and her when they were shopping in Bordeaux before the two got married. Su Liya has always cherished this little bear doll very much, and even sent it to the palace for a special refurbishment.

The female knight closed her eyes. She brought the bear closer and pressed her chin to the surface of the teddy bear. For the first time, a gap appeared between the husband and wife.

Now, I had no choice but to find a way... Su Liya was very sad in her heart, and the female knight had to immediately pray to the fairy in the lake.

Ma'am, I'm in trouble.

I need your help!

At the same time, Ryan was immersing his body in hot water, and the room was filled with steaming mist. The head maid, Sylvia, wanted to rub Ryan's back, but Ryan shook his hand to signal her to go out first: "You Go out first and leave me alone."

"Your Majesty, are you and Miss... I mean Madam, did you quarrel?" Sylvia was wearing a very light maid outfit, and the head maid tentatively said: "Madam, she seems to be in a bad mood recently, Your Majesty The same to you."

"No." Ryan shook his head, and he waved his hand: "Nothing, well, you go out and let me be alone."

"Yes." Sylvia agreed but did not leave immediately. She emphasized: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty Ryan, if you are unhappy in any way, you can get angry at me, I don't care."

"Get out." Ryan continued.

"Your Majesty Ryan, it really doesn't work, you can vent your anger on me." Sylvia was a little anxious, she kept talking, and then the head maid left: "Ma'am, she is real, I'm sorry."

Ryan leaned against the edge of the bath, the Knight King reached out to pat the hot water, and the Primarch of the Gray Knight closed his eyes.

The water is hot and the heart is cold.

In the depths of Ryan's soul, there is always the whisper of the handprinter. He is teaching Ryan bit by bit, but at the same time, he is also passing on certain concepts to Ryan.

Ryan understands now, why did he have many emperors in his previous life, and in the end the only person he trusted the most was the eunuch by his side? The only thing you care about is your own heir?

Alone, isolated and helpless.

Just like the Emperor, who is the Emperor's most trusted, even the only person he trusts?

It's Prime Minister Malcador the Magicweave.

But in fact, Ryan knows very well that Malcador, the magic pattern, is called the prime minister. In fact, he can only be regarded as the seal of the chief of ceremonies at most-just like his title palm print, Malcador, as the emperor's first loyal servant, It is an extension of the emperor's will, not a real prime minister with independent power.

Malcador understands necessary evil very well. In his opinion, countless bureaucrats and countless low-level civilians can be sacrificed meaninglessly at any time. If the emperor needs it, Malcador himself can, and he finally got his wish. The emperor sat on the golden throne, persisted for only one day, and finally turned into ashes.

And the emperor's favorite and most caring child is himself as the Primarch of the Gray Knight Gene, the only reason is that Lion is irreplaceable and loves Malcador, nothing more.

Many Primarchs are tools for the Emperor, and even some Primarchs think that they have too many side effects and are not easy to use when they are used as tools, such as Angron.

And why not for Ryan? Aren't the five original gray knights also standard tools for Ryan? Ryan himself doesn't think these five guys are his heirs from the bottom of his heart, but he still calls them his heirs, just like Guilliman, because he needs their strength and their contributions.

So, having said that, why did this matter make Ryan so unhappy?

The performance of the female knight is actually not difficult for Ryan to understand. When a person has power, he will always subconsciously test where his power boundary is, but when he touches the red line, he will usually retract immediately. After that, it will not cross the line casually.

But Surya crossed the line this time!

In a nutshell, Suria is his queen, not the queen of Brittania! He is the king! He can allow the queen to participate in politics, discuss politics and even be regent, and he can tolerate them all, but he can't allow Suria to be in power no matter what!

Who gave Surya the power? He gave it, not the Emperor! ! !

This time Suria did this, and in the end it turned out that the emperor gave Suria more power. If Ryan backed down on this matter, he would not be able to control Suria in the future, because Suria's The source of power had changed from the Lion to the Emperor, something the Lion could not tolerate.

I'm not Li Zhi, I leave the big and small things to my wife, go out all day by myself, and finally raise a female emperor.

How could Ryan tolerate such a thing? He has always held the decision-making power firmly in his hands.

In fact, Ryan has now built a new system with him as the foundation and core. In this system, Ryan is an irreplaceable object. To be in power, no one can command the system built by Ryan. For example, the nobles under his command cannot command Veronica and the Old Guards. For example, Morgiana cannot command Hu Ann and Beria, for example, even Suria couldn't command Olyka.

Only Ryan can play the whole system well, and only when he makes a decision can things go on.

This is the right, this is the right.

But Ryan doesn't blame Suria, he is not so narrow-minded. From the previous conversation between the two people, it can be known that Suria actually complained a little to her father-in-law as a daughter-in-law. This is very normal in the family. Don't have any ideas of your own? Just a little knocking is enough, she is his favorite woman after all.

What is really problematic is the way the Emperor handles it.

The way the Lord of Humanity dealt with it was too simple and rude, or... he didn't understand people's hearts. The Emperor just felt that Ryan did something wrong from Suria, so he ended up in person, without considering the consequences and Ryan's feelings. He felt that This would resolve the conflict, so he did it.

Never considered Ryan's ideas and the new system he spent so much energy building.

Just like the Emperor didn't consider Angron's feelings and forcibly teleported him away from the eve of the uprising, just like the Emperor didn't consider Mortarion's feelings and entered the direct battle midway between Mortarion and a giant beast. Killing the giant beast in seconds was like the emperor not considering Petrabo's feelings, and letting him fight any difficult battles and tough battles.

Even, it was as if the Emperor directly asked Malcador to establish the Supreme Lord Council without considering Horus' feelings, and seized power from the Primarchs headed by the Warmaster.

Ryan had a vague premonition that there might be conflicts between him and the emperor in the future, even bigger conflicts.

When the time comes, he must make a choice.

Suddenly, the king felt a little pain in his heart. He felt that he still cared too little for Suria. They were called husband and wife, but in fact, Ryan had never been able to open his heart to anyone, so he would The problem this time is that he uses the women in his backyard more as tools. In this regard, he is like an emperor.

It can't be like this, at least, it can't be like this to Suria, it's unfair to his wife.

This situation really needs to change.

Ten minutes later, Ryan finished taking a bath. He changed into a loose bathrobe, and walked out of the bathroom swaggeringly. After figuring it out, Ryan was very refreshed, and Suria came up with a worried face. She wanted to say something to Ryan, but she was picked up by her husband and walked around the room several times. The female knight said shyly, "Ryan, what are you doing? Quickly, let me down, let others see me." Oh no."

"Don't you want to apologize to me, madam?" Ryan had already recovered at this time, the king hugged his queen and kissed her lips: "You must show some sincerity?"

"Well! Ryan, you know how to bully me!" Su Liya finally let go of her worries. She leaned on her husband's chest and said, "I...I know, let me go first."

Then Ryan let Suria down, and he pulled Suria down on the big soft bed: "Get ready to go, ma'am, going to Ulthuan this time will not be an easy trip, we have to face a lot Complicated situation."

Suria lay on Ryan, and the female knight looked at her husband with tenderness in her eyes: "I believe in you, you will be able to handle it well, and you will definitely be able to achieve your goals."

"Before, let us complete a small goal first?" Ryan put his hand into the slit of Suria's long dress, feeling his wife's smooth black silk legs, and finally showed a trace of true emotion on Ryan's face Real feeling: "Suria, after marrying me, I have worked hard for you. Let me arrange the trip to Ulthuan this time. I will let you experience a wonderful trip. I promise, in the name of Malcador swear."

"It's all up to you." Surya closed her eyes, and she took the initiative to kiss her.

………… I first complete the dividing line of a small goal………

Old World, late July 2513 Imperial Calendar, Marienburg.

Just today, a big event happened in Marienburg.

Two giant ironclad ships, braving billowing smoke, entered the waters of Marienburg.

People from all over Marienburg came out to watch the ironclad ship. This was the first time that Marienburg saw the legendary ironclad ship of the dwarves, with its huge chimney, steel hull, gorgeous church, and the symbol of power and glory. The combined cannons made the people of Marienburg feel fear and excitement.

The fire-bathed eagle claw emblem of the Legion of Ashes and the sword emblem of the Iris Book of the Knight King of Britannia were hung on the two iron-clad ships respectively, fluttering against the strong summer wind.

And when the gangway was placed on the pier, something shocking happened. It was not humans who got off the ironclad ship, but a large group of bearded dwarves!

The king of the Angrund clan and the real king of Eight Peaks, Belegar-Hammer's eldest son, Thorgrim-Hammer, led a group of mustaches with muskets in their hands, and ax shields or hammer shields on their backs. The first thing this group of bearded dwarves came to Marienburg was to nail the leaflets in the Book of Hate about the hatred of Marienburg merchants translated into human language to various docks in Marienburg!

The Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition has won! Today, the dwarves have come to seek revenge!

The princes of the business world, as well as that Mr. Jose-Magic Bird, all get out of our dwarves and accept the trial from the Anglund clan!

Otherwise, we will settle the hatred!

At the same time, the decree from the Dwarf Supreme King Thorgrim-The Grudger also came to Marienburg. The Supreme King questioned humans and the empire. What is the intention of the businessmen to obstruct in secret and obstruct in every possible way? Do human beings no longer want to fulfill the contract of the Holy Alliance? !

As soon as the news came out, Marienburg was shaken, and the business princes were in panic all day long. They seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by Ivan the Griffon Duke twenty years ago.

The House of Marienburg convened urgently to discuss countermeasures.

"what to do?"
