Chapter 180: Knighthood I
"What did you say?" Consdante wondered if there was something wrong with his ears, and he was confused by what General Kurak said.
"You heard you right, Your Highness." General Kurak said coldly, in his opinion, this was just a deal between Consdin and Novgorod. Otherwise, how could Novgorod drive out Alexander and let Consitine, an ignorant foreigner, accept such an important title? In the eyes of General Kulak, this was Consdante's betrayal, otherwise how could the other party recommend him to succeed Alexander.
"Congratulations on becoming a Novgorod hero and accept your glory!" General Kulak's words were so soft and prickly that even a fool could hear them.
But to Cons, Dante could not afford this inexplicable honor, and he did not despise it.
Although he did not know why the Novgorodians had made such a decision, he had no intention of accepting it.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind General Kurak.
"Uncle Kurak, stand down, the messenger of Novgorod is waiting below." It was Queen Adewiga, and it seemed that this incident also alarmed this woman.
"But Your Highness・・・・・・" General Kurak retreated in the face of what Yadwija said, but he was indignant. "We saved him, but ・・・・・・"
However, at this moment, Constance Dante looked coldly at General Kurak and said, "Her Royal Highness is indeed a lifesaver for me, and I am definitely not ungrateful. But that doesn't mean I'm completely at your disposal. So I don't want you, General Kurak, to speak to me in that tone. Consité, who had recovered his memory, was not at all confused at this time, and that was why he would not accept the mercy of the Poles.
After all, he was the king of knights in the past!
Consdante's answer was very strong, much to the anger of General Kurak.
Indeed, Constance Dante is too important, as a gifted knight, this is an existence that every country attaches great importance to, in fact, not even any Western country officially admits that it has a gifted knight in its country, because it is too rare, and every country does not dare to expose it easily. The Poles do value Constance, Dante. But if Consdor Dante becomes the Grand Duke of Novgorod, it means the expansion of Novgorod's power.
"Why do you bother to covet a flashy title of Grand Duke, isn't our sincerity enough?" Everyone knows that the Grand Duke of Novgorod is just a virtual head of state, and Alexander was able to take over power entirely because he held the command of the new army, but what can Consdany Dante do, how can he, as a foreigner, be weak and weak, and fight against those treacherous and cunning guys in the aristocratic council, and in the end he is just an empty puppet.
But at this moment, Yadwija said quietly: "Uncle Kurak, you go out first, I have a few words to say to Constance." ”
"Your Highness・・・・・・
At Yadwija's insistence, General Kurak retreated.
"Doctor Fabre?" Jadwija nodded, and Dr. Fabre nodded and walked out of the room with General Kurak, leaving only Cons, Dante and Advity.
"Aren't you the messenger of Novgorod waiting below?" Constance Dante was stared at by the other party's eyes and said uncomfortably, although he couldn't see the other party's intentions clearly, but the power of this woman about his age was no worse than that of any senior politician.
"It's okay, I'd love to talk to you." Yadwigga shook her head slightly.
"Don't worry! I have no intention of accepting the title of Grand Duke. Constance Dante said bluntly, at this time, the noble council did such a thing, Cons Dante knew that even if he didn't know the other party's intentions, he knew that he was not at ease.
But unexpectedly, Advita looked at Constance Dante and said solemnly: "No, you must accept this title, and I will fully support you in ascending to the throne." ”
"What?" Once again, Constantine wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing, and Jadveda turned out to be the opposite of General Kurak's attitude, and she actually supported Constantine in accepting Novgorod's invitation.
"Why?" Consitine Dante did not understand that if he accepted the olive branch extended by Novgorod to become the new Grand Duke, then he would not be able to be used by Poland.
"Because my child needs to rely on the power of Novgorod, and you, as the guardian of my child, once you have the real power of Novgorod, I can rest assured of Bernia's safety." Adwicka's solemn answer confused Consitor Dante.
"I will have to return to China in the near future, but Bernia's condition cannot afford to be delayed, she must stay here, and I want to entrust her safety to you." Yadwigga finally spoke her true thoughts.
"Returning home, aren't you the queen of Poland? None of this can be influenced? Constance Dante thought this was simply ridiculous, although he had promised Jadwiga that he would consider it, but this woman really gave her daughter's custody to herself, and that was the heir to the Polish throne!
"It is precisely because I am the queen of Poland that I must fulfill my duty, and since the covenant with Novgorod has been concluded, I must return home by the orders of the Parliament." Even though Yadwiga knew that it was the work of those people in the country, she had to accept it in the face of the urging of the parliament. What's more, due to the defeat of the Teutonic Knights, the situation in the entire Far North has changed dramatically, and if Yadwiga remains in Novgorod, the trust of the people in the royal family will be greatly damaged, and Yadwiga will have to have some scruples. However, due to Bonifazia's illness, she will inevitably not be able to return to China with her daughter on this trip, and Grace can only rely on Constante Dante for Bonifazia's safety.
"I will fully support you in seizing power in Novgorod, and Bernia will leave it to you for protection during this time." Yadwiga said softly, in his opinion, the temptation of the Grand Duke of Novgorod was enough for Constance Dante to accept, and Bonifazia's safety was guaranteed during this time.
"I see!" After a long silence, Constance Dante finally spoke, and Advitya thought Constance Dante had accepted her offer. But Constance Dante shook his head, "I'm not interested in the Grand Duke of Novgorod or anything, but Her Royal Highness Princess Bonifazia will naturally protect me during this time." As for the rest, I don't want to talk about it anymore. The refusal was so crisp that even Advita was caught off guard, as if the allure of the Grand Duke was not worth mentioning to Cons.
After that, Consdendine opened the door of the room and prepared to meet the messenger of Novgorod. (To be continued.) )
