"Chapter Forty-Nine: Movement of the Parties"

All real life is an encounter.

- Martin Buber (Israeli Jewish philosopher, translator, educator)

Under the premise that Prince William and Prince Philip formed an alliance and Prince Pross became more and more powerful, Prince Philip, who was alone, was less and less favored by the nobles of the imperial capital, until this court meeting, Charlemagne's attitude attracted everyone's attention.

Prince William's Wind Thieves were co-opted by Bai Feng under Prince GLP's command in retaliation for Prince William's request to incorporate Prince GLP's Blue Bird Swordsmen, which was a reasonable political struggle, and Prince Philip's participation was an exchange of interests between him and Prince William.

You don't see, above the court meeting, Duke Cullen is actively speaking out about the promotion of Marquis Boris to Duke of the Empire, and the Phantom Thieves of Prince Philip are exchanged for Marquis Boris to be promoted to Duke of the Empire, and the deal between Prince William and Prince Philip has surfaced.

Prince Harry, who attended the court meeting on a regular basis, was not interested in the battle between Prince William and Prince Pros, because the conflict was caused by the princes' secretly developed fighting forces, and his dragon slayer knights had long since been destroyed in a bloody battle with the steppe cavalry.

No one thought that Charlemagne, when he promoted Marquis Boris to Duke of the Empire, would confer the title of Duke of the Empire on the Minister of Finance, Marquis Hammond, and what is even more incredible is that the destroyed Dragon Slayer Knights were also included in the military department!

This means that the core of Prince Harry's faction, the Imperial Minister of Finance, will become the eleventh non-hereditary duke of the Empire, and Prince Harry, who has lost his military power, will also receive a fully equipped dragon slayer army formed by the military department!

The two appointments announced by Charlemagne himself made Prince Harry, who was almost disqualified from competing for the throne, instantly become a strong contender for the throne again;

An imperial duke title and a dragon slayer army cannot fundamentally change the balance of strength between the four princes; the strongest is still Prince Pross, followed by Prince William and Prince Philip, and the weakest is Prince Harry.

In fact, what makes the other three princes feel more depressed than the sudden increase in Prince Harry's strength is Charlemagne's attitude towards Prince Harry; if Charlemagne is really determined to cultivate Prince Harry, then the other three princes will sooner or later make concessions to Prince Harry.

When it comes to the issue of succession to the throne, the nobles of the imperial capital wisely choose to remain silent, while the angry Prince William and Prince Pros feel the pressure, but Prince Philip is full of fear and worry.

Once upon a time, Prince Philip and Prince Harry were fierce allies, and their combination of joining forces to stop Prince William's aggressiveness and suppressing the growing Prince of Pross was a combination of awe and awe of the nobles of the imperial capital.

Two months ago, the invasion of the three major tribes of the grassland led to the almost uprooting of Prince Harry's Dragon Slayer Knights and his forces in the north.

Now that Prince Harry has received the attention of Charlemagne and has begun to gradually regain his strength, this is not good news for Prince Philip, who once betrayed Prince Harry.

Prince Philip, who knew that he could not turn back, had to cooperate more closely with Prince William; in his opinion, if Prince William could ascend to the throne, he would at least be able to mix with a prince with real power, and the result would not be worse than Prince Harry's ascension to the throne.

Prince William, who was also skeptical, did not think that his father would really choose Prince Harry as his heir, but Prince Harry's re-emergence was still a big threat to Prince William, and he had to react to it.

Although Charlemagne's intention to order the military department to take over the dragon slayer knights is to let the Imperial military department form a dragon slayer legion for Prince Harry, this does not mean that the Imperial military department will form an elite army with full personnel and hand it over to Prince Harry.

The commander of the Dragon Slayer Legion will definitely be the head of the Dragon Slayer Knights, and the main senior generals will also be the henchmen of Prince Harry's family, and the remaining middle and low-level officers can be arranged by the Imperial Military Department, for which Duke Cullen has absolute appointment power.

If all the middle and low-level officers in the newly formed Dragon Slayer Legion are the henchmen installed by Duke Cullen, then the senior generals loyal to Prince Harry will have no name, and the real control of the Dragon Slayer Legion is Prince William and Duke Cullen.

This is how Prince William suppressed Prince Harry's development, as for Prince Harry's development in other aspects, it is not something that Prince William can suppress after his strength has suffered a heavy blow;

The difference between the emperor and the prince is that the prince is the son of the emperor, their power comes from the emperor, the emperor is the father of the prince, and his words and deeds can change the trajectory of a prince's life;

He needs to deal with the relationship with the Bai family as soon as possible, appease Bai Feng, who is far away in the east of the empire, so as to stabilize his own strength to deal with challenges in all aspects.

In the final analysis, Prince Harry, who has the possibility of a comeback, still cannot threaten Prince Pros in the short term, and the relationship between Prince Harry and Prince Pros is not bad;

Prince William's Wind Thieves Group was absorbed by Bai Feng, how could the greasy Prince Pross in the middle not know, but Prince Pross was happy to see Bai Feng weaken Prince William, especially when he completely broke with Prince William.

At this time, Prince GLP, who had been dissatisfied with Bai Feng and the Bai family earlier, did not dare to blame Bai Feng for his break with Prince William;

Since he can't make Bai Feng and the Bai family obey his orders, then he fully supports Bai Feng to annex the forces that originally belonged to Prince William, this is the latest choice of Prince GLP, and it is also the result of his careful consideration.

Not only that, the prince of Pros, who is good at forbearance, actively supported Bai Feng's move to annex the Wind Thieves Group in the imperial capital, and at the same time sent envoys to the Bai family and Bai Feng respectively, apologizing for his recklessness some time ago, hoping that Bai Feng and the Bai family could forgive themselves.

GLP can deign to apologize to Bai Feng and the Bai family with the dignity of a dignified son, Bai Feng and Bai Mingcheng, who is in charge of the Bai family, naturally have no reason to refuse, but the Bai family understands that such an apology is actually the deadliest poison!

If Prince GLP can successfully ascend to the throne in the future, as long as his position and power are slightly consolidated, the Bai family will suffer a catastrophe;

Prince Pross, who was afraid of the spread of the matter, did not even inform his maternal grandfather, and Duke Truss, the Minister of Justice of the Empire, who knew nothing about it, did not know that his grandson had made a fatal mistake that completely disappointed the Bai family!
