The prince's country is a major event that has to be treated with caution, and William is also heartbroken for this.

In order to ensure that his son Richard could be adequately protected in terms of safety, William not only handed over the main Sixth Army to Richard as his direct force, but also sent the first elite Standing First Army of the Empire and the Duke Hubert, the first marshal of the Empire, to accompany him to protect him and help him defend Italy.

In addition, in addition to the aspect of war, personal safety also had to be taken seriously, on the one hand, William sent his most trusted five hundred of the kingdom's most brave and elite knights of the guard to protect Richard in the front, and on the other hand, he also ordered the deputy head of the Imperial Intelligence Department, Filbert. Morality. Baron Surrey personally led hundreds of intelligence officers to protect Richard in secret, always monitoring the surrounding area for anyone with bad intentions towards his son.

With two main army escorts, five hundred guards knights to protect, and capable intelligence officers secretly guarding him, William is no longer so worried about Richard's security, but this does not mean that he will not have to worry about the prince's country after this.

In fact, the country of the prince has never been so simple, in addition to the necessary military preparations, the candidates to assist the prince must also be carefully selected, not only need a group of experienced and stable nobles to help him stabilize the situation, but also need a group of potential and young noble knights to act as his team.

Although there were many capable and prestigious nobles like Duke Hubert under William's command, there were only a few people who could be trusted by him, and they all had their own responsibilities, and it was impossible for them to easily put down their affairs and assist the prince.

But fortunately, in addition to these nobles who bear heavy responsibilities in China, there are also outstanding talents among the younger generation, including the son of the Duke of Richard, 27-year-old William. Morality. Vasi is one of them, who has shouldered the responsibility of governing his family's domain at a young age, and has also performed extremely well in several military operations in recent years.

"Son of Duke Richard, William. Morality. Vassy, would you like to accompany Richard on his trip to Italy? I know that your father, Richard, has been in poor health for the past few years, and if you miss your father, I will not force it. ”

Although William said this, he actually hoped that the other party would agree, as the leader of the new generation of nobles, William had great expectations for him.

"Your Majesty, can you give the minister some time to think about it, the minister still needs to ask his father for instructions before he can decide." William. Morality. Although Vasy was a little moved by William's suggestion, he was a dutiful man, and naturally did not want to leave his elderly father at this moment.

"Earl of Brattbon, you are really a man of great affection and filial piety, I grant your request, but please reply to me within three days, is it okay?" William vs. William. Morality. Vassy's refusal was not annoying, after all, he was also a junior with whom he was closer, and he understood his own character, and he would not blame the other party for refusing his orders.

Except for William. Morality. In addition to Vassy, William also selected a group of capable and trustworthy young nobles from the imperial aristocracy to serve as Richard's cronies, these people were not noble heirs, such as William's nephew, the heir of the Earl of Derby. Morality. Alfranche is those noble knights with great potential, such as Robert of the Beaumont family, Ladolph of the Conteville family, Testin, etc.

The long list is full of the essence of the future generation of the Empire, and it can be said that William took Richard's trip as seriously as he did in the first place to the Holy Roman Empire's wars.

Also worried about Richard was his mother, Uraka, who, as her eldest son, poured most of her love into Richard.

This time Richard's country also means that her most beloved eldest son will leave her, and she is unspeakably sad in her heart.

She was reasonable, knowing that William's arrangement was also for the sake of her son, so she did not obstruct this matter in any way, but actively prepared carefully for Richard's country and the marriage in the near future.

"First of all, the wedding dress, Richard, there will be a few court seamstresses to measure you later, and if there is anything you want to change on the wedding dress, you can tell me." Uraka was arranging Richard's clothes and saluting, and she enjoyed it, even though she didn't have to do it herself as a queen.

"Mother, why bother? Italy has highly skilled seamstresses, and when his son arrives in Milan, he can make them to order.

Besides, there is still more than half a year before my wedding with the Tuscan lady, so why be in such a hurry? Richard saw that his mother was working tirelessly to manipulate these trivial matters for herself, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"The boy's family is very arrogant, and people's weddings are only once, even if they pay attention to it, it is not too much.

If it weren't for my mother's own wedding with your father, William's rough personality would have become!

So, son, your wedding is still in the hands of your mother! Urakala sat down with Richard and said with a smile.

"Got it, Mother." Richard was quite sensible, and after hearing Uraka's instructions, he didn't pout, nodded and agreed: "Mother, do you know what kind of person your son's fiancée Matilda is?" ”

"Matilda, a lady of the vassal, she is a thousand-year-old heroine, she lost her father and brother one after another when she was very young, and inherited the title of Marquis of Tuscany and a huge territory at the age of eight or nine, and supported the entire Grand Duchy of Tuscany with one person.

To know Dee. The Cassano family is not a big family, and there are many people who peek into her title and territory, such as her mother's Vizhelish family, who tried to usurp power and was eventually crushed by her.

Today's Matilda is one of the most powerful people in the Empire, the uncrowned king of Italy and the largest lord of the territory, and even your father has to take care of each other's feelings and respect her opinion in Italian affairs. ”

When Uraca talked about Matilda, the female vassals of Tuscany, her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of admiration, after all, it is extremely rare to see a female monarch as capable as Matilda.

"So my fiancée is so powerful!" After listening to Urakar's story, Richard not only did not flinch, but became eager to try.

"Hahaha, son, you have to be careful not to be tamed by this female leopard, and show the spirit of the heir of the Normandy family!" Urakar said in a joking tone.

"That's nature, mother, just wait and see." Richard said confidently.
