With the promise of the Caesar brothers and sisters, Sir Hubert was much relieved, and said with a light breath: "His Royal Highness William, please go early and return early!" Although we have temporarily signed a peace treaty with Kayi and others, everyone knows that it is not reliable to believe in Kayi than to believe in a poisonous snake. ”

"Be assured, Sir Hubert." William nodded in response: "Whatever the outcome, I will definitely return to Normandy before this year." ”

"His Royal Highness William, I will prepare the guards and supplies for you." Sir Hubert nodded, and turned to leave.

......

Two days later, a force of 500 cavalry, 500 infantry, and 800 standing militia drove out Fort Vernon with all the might.

"Sir Hubert, steward of Osborne, send it here, and leave all the business to you!" William turned his horse's head and looked at Hubert and Osborne.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness." The two said in unison.

"Farewell, Sir Hubert, steward Osborne!" William waved goodbye to the two of them, turned his horse's head and left.

The large contingent of 1,800 soldiers was remarkable in any case, so in order to pass through the territories smoothly, William went straight south to Paris to meet Henry I and obtain the edict, and then continued south to prepare to pass through the various princes' territories.

After leaving Paris, William crossed the Duchy of Champagne to the territory of the Duchy of Burgundy, preparing to follow the Duchy of Bourbon, the Duchy of Auvergne, and the Duchy of Toulouse all the way south to the Mediterranean coast, and then to the east and south along the Duchy of Provence, the Republic of Genoa, the Duchy of Tuscany, the Republic of Pisa, and finally to Rome, the first stop of William's journey to Italy, the Papal States.

Although His Majesty King Henry I of France was only the prince of France at this time, rather than the centralized monarch of France, for the sake of Henry I's edict, the major princes along the way gave way to face and sent troops to protect William and his party.

As he passed through the territory of the Duchy of Burgundy of Duke Robert the Elder, William looked at the Upper Burgundy Count, which was next to him to the east, and could not help frowning.

Although at this time the title of Duke of Upper Burgundy in the Swiss region had been abolished by the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II, and the entire Duchy of Upper Burgundy was in a state of general disarray. The family of Ivrea still relied on the joint rule of the Duchy of Upper Burgundy by the nobles of the former Duchy of Upper Burgundy.

The incumbent De. The head of the house of Ivrea was Renault, Count of Burgundy. Morality. Yvréa was the father of Count Kay of Mortan, and in order to help his heir, Kay, Count Renault sent troops to help Kay on several occasions.

William withdrew his gaze from the Earl of Burgundy in the east, shook his head slightly, and said to himself: "If you want Count Orton to be unable to continue to help Kay, maybe you have to plunge Upper Burgundy into war, or let the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II put pressure!" ”

"His Royal Highness William, do you have something to worry about?" Emma Cema, who noticed William's strange face, came to William's side, and said with a look of concern on her delicate face.

"Nope! It's nothing, it's just your delusion. William tried to get away with it, and spoke.

"What a clumsy lie, His Highness William!" Emma frowned and said angrily, "I heard all your self-talk, don't hide it from me, maybe I can help you!" ”

Faced with Emma's questioning, William had to tell Emma what happened.

In the past few days, Emma's talent has been fully revealed, not only the affairs of the barracks are well organized, but the work of contacting the nobles along the way has also been taken over by her, and Emma, who looks like a little secretary, works like a strong woman.

"Hmm! Emma paced back and forth for a moment, looked up at William, and said with some excitement: "Yes, Your Highness William, you should probably send spies to the Upper Burgundy (HRE Switzerland) district to spread rumors that the Count of Reynaud is trying to regain the title of duke and wage war against the Counts of Upper Burgundy.

At the same time, it is also necessary to spread rumors in the Duchy of Burgundy (France) that the Count of Reynaud claims the title of Duke of Burgundy and is entangled in the army's attempt to attack the "Elder" Duke Robert and reclaim the Dukedom of Ivrea once held.

If both of these strategies succeeded, Renault, Count of Upper Burgundy, would be oppressed and threatened by the counts of the Duchy of Upper Burgundy and the "elder" of Duke Robert, Duke of Burgundy, so that he would not be able to continue to send troops to help Kay. ”

"Great, Emma! From now on, you will be my spy manager, and some of the spies in my hands will be handed over to you, and this matter will be handled by you! Listening to Emma's reasoned analysis, William couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Yes, His Highness William." Emma winked playfully and said with a smile, "I've done so much for you, shouldn't I give the little girl a little reward?" ”

As she spoke, Emma closed her eyes and approached William's face, looking like she was picking up.

At this time, the faces of the two were so close that they looked like Emma. Watson's delicate face gradually approached William, and Emma's exhaled hot air sprayed on William's face, although William knew that Emma was teasing himself by relying on William's young age, William's little heart still jumped up uncompromisingly.

Originally, Emma just wanted to tease William and was about to taunt him, but she didn't expect William to be so bold, her hot and wet lips pressed tightly together, and two slippery little snakes were entwined with each other and raging.

"Humph! that you may tempt me. Thinking like this, William couldn't help but redouble his efforts.

"Whew! Emma, who was finally freed, looked at William with a flushed face, threw William a pair of health balls, and said in a strange tone:

"I didn't expect it to be bad at such a young age, my little highness!"

Obviously, Emma didn't take William, who was only ten years old, seriously, and thought that William was young and ignorant and impulsive.

Looking at Emma, who was at the age of nineteen, William, who was underestimated by Emma, turned his head away and rode his horse on, ignoring Emma, who was making trouble.

"What a disappointment, His Royal Highness William, you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law like this!" Emma looked at William, who had fled in the wilderness, and said loudly with a smile.

After William and his party left France, they came to the homeland of lavender, the Duchy of Provence.

Purple lavender, green grape trellises, white knights' estates, and dreamlike gold are intoxicating.

From the Duchy of Provence to northern and central Italy, which was under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire, William did not dare to be careless, and immediately led people to visit the Duke of Provence at the Duke's Palace.
