Rhine was soon invited to the palace.

Today, he was wearing a bright yellow dress, his originally fluffy blonde hair was neatly combed, and his sturdy figure was matched with the momentum of a sheathed sword, so that he did not sell much of his bonds yesterday, but attracted the attention of many young ladies and ladies.

Antoine II did not meet Rhine in his office, but arranged the meeting in a gazebo in the garden of the palace.

If Rhine hadn't given him a satisfactory answer today, the palace guards would have been able to kill Rhine after he gave the order.

Antoine II looked directly at the Rhine, and after a moment said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and you are stronger than before." ”

"Your Majesty's majesty is greater than ever. Rhine replied.

Antoine II said with some regret, "If you had stayed back then, these lads around you would have been your men." ”

Rhine calmly replied, "I didn't repay my kindness back then, and now I am repaying Her Highness Linda for saving my daughter." ”

Antoine II beckoned, and the maid placed the tea set on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, and began to brew the "Iron Maiden".

He pointed to the other side and said, "Sit down, and talk to me about how Linda is doing while you have tea, those stupid reports are always a mess." Linda brought me the tea from this elf tree seafood, and I usually don't want to drink it. ”

Rhine sat across from Antoine II, and thought to himself, if you knew that this tea was given to his sister by Charles, and Mira couldn't get used to drinking this tea in exchange for Linda's buns, I guess you would have high blood pressure.

"Her Royal Highness Linda has done an excellent job at the Academy. "Although she encountered some difficulties at first, she overcame them all. ”

In the following time, Rhine picked up some of Linda's daily life and reported it to Antoine II.

Every five days, the informants sent by Antoine II to the Wisteria Academy reported to him about Linda through the Bureau of Magical Communication, but that was only information about Linda's public activities, and had absolutely no involvement in Linda's private life.

There was no way, the intelligence agents who tried to peep into Diana's house were beaten half to death and thrown on the side of the road.

Most of these informants were fought by the Rhine, a few were the work of the bodyguards sent by Artoria and Auston I to secretly protect Mira, and a few heads were taken by Professor Wolfe, who had gone to visit Diana.

"What kind of man is that Gawain?" Antoine II was the first to notice that the man who appeared most often in that small circle was Gawain.

Rhine replied, "Gawain is a young man with great potential, and he is a man of integrity, who has been recognized by His Excellency Pendragon. ”

Antoine II narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about the kind of people under Linda, are there any ill-intentioned people?"

Rhine smiled slightly, "Not now." ”

"Good. Antoine II nodded in satisfaction.

When Linda recruited the management team of the workshop, there were indeed people who wanted to use beautiful men to get into the position, but they were all cleaned up by Rhein.

Then Antoine II asked, "What is the relationship between Linda and the Count of Maccaden?"

Rhine replied, "The Earl of McCaden and Her Highness Linda are at a great distance. ”

Antoine II drank a cup of tea, and then said, "Tell me what is the purpose of Linda's bond issuance this time." ”

"In order to make a good life for the people in the territory. Rhine said solemnly.

Antoine II looked at the ceramic cup in his hand and was silent.

The Bischberg Kingdom, with high mountains and dense forests, little arable land, and many magical beasts, is the poorest country on the north bank of the Great River, and if you really want to say that your family background is probably not as good as the orcs in the north.

Although the mountain people who grew up in such an environment are stronger than the mountain people of Schberg, they are the first-class elite soldiers and strong generals on the mainland. However, the lack of national strength and the lack of logistical supplies and weapons and equipment have dragged down the army's combat effectiveness.

This is the reason why Charles's grandfather, Duke Redkin, has been able to conquer a large area of land in the Kingdom of Bischberg for so many years by relying on the rich plains of the lower reaches of the river.

Moreover, the Redkin family brought in large quantities of grain at each location, allowing them to consolidate their rule in the occupied territories in a short period of time.

If Duke Redkin ascends to the throne, when he has the rich products in the east and the fierce mountain people in the west, the military strength of the whole country can be raised to a higher level, which is why those nobles support Duke Redkin.

As a king, especially a king in his early age, Antoine II did not mind his children making such attempts.

There are some things that can only be experienced after becoming a king, and in the face of the difficult domestic and foreign situation, Antoine II also did not mind trying to take a different path.

The silence in the gazebo lasted for an hour, and Rhine sat there quietly awaiting the king's reply, not knowing whether Linda's seemingly simple reason would convince the king.

Antoine II withdrew his gaze from the teacup in his hand and said to Rhine: "The prestige of your athletic tournament that year is still in circulation among the griffin knights, and many young people are now very unconvinced of you. ”

"Now that you're your own man, go to the Griffon Knight's garrison in the afternoon, see which young man has a future, beat him up, and then take him away for training. ”

Rhine finally left the palace with a smile on his face, he was worried that Linda would not have enough reliable manpower to use because the stall was too large, and he didn't think that Antoine II had now given him the opportunity to choose someone.

This opportunity showed Antoine II's approval of Linda's approach, and the rest of the work was ready to begin.

"Look away......" sighed Antoine II, sitting alone in the gazebo.

In his imagination, the sons' fight for the throne is the matter of the sons, and it has nothing to do with the well-behaved and sensible daughter.

He just wants to let his daughter grow up happily while she is alive, and when her daughter becomes an adult, she will find a husband who everyone is happy to marry, and then he can die with peace of mind.

As for what to do with those sons, he didn't bother to care.

But now, whether Linda has it intentionally or not, her actions have put her half a leg into the whirlpool of political struggle.

If you enter this whirlpool, it will be very difficult to get out in the future.

Antoine II recalled all the information about the people around Linda that he had seen before Rhine came.

He beckoned, and the royal butler appeared behind him.

Antoine II asked, "I remember that there was a spear in the royal treasury that Pendragon used in the past?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The butler replied.

"Return to its rightful owner. Antoine II said, "And a gift for Linda's friends." ”

After a while, he added, "The one for Diana is a little more valuable." ”
