Bowyle and Clayton came to visit Charles, and the pomp and circumstance were quite pompous, and it was a brigade of cavalry and a red carpet, but the real core purpose was just for the three of them to get together and have a simple meeting.

"Your Highness, please remember your dual identity, you are not only the prince of Augustine, but also a member of the Lorraine Legion, you must ensure that the Royal Workshop delivers enough weapons, armor and auxiliary equipment to us on time, as well as the timely rationing of various spiritual power potions, which is an important foundation for the combat effectiveness of our legion. ”

"Your Excellency, in addition to these basic duties, I can also convey some of the Legion's needs and wishes to His Majesty? I mean....... Fight for more benefits for our legion?"

"Huh, is the kid so good?"

Charles looked at the little fat man opposite in surprise, wondering whether he was sincere or fake, after all, the real duty of the royal liaison officer was to ensure that the interests of the royal family were above the interests of the legion.

"His Royal Highness is the first time he has come into contact with this kind of 'military affairs', and he is bent on doing his best, and if the formation of the legion does not go smoothly, he will not only be very sad, but also a little embarrassed. ”

Duke Clayton saw that Charles was puzzled, so he gave a reasonable explanation, and the little fat boy Boyle also nodded vigorously, indicating that he was on the side of the legion.

"Now what the military department has given us is already the standard of the main army, we don't need other additional rations for the time being, Your Highness just needs to ensure that our materials are delivered to Lorraine as soon as possible, and if there is a special need in the future, it will naturally trouble Your Highness to communicate with His Majesty the King. ”

Despite Bowyle's olive branch, Charles did not immediately agree, he must downplay the influence of the royal family within the legion, especially on the eve of the formation of the legion, and must not let the royal hand come in.

Charles let his family knight and butler Roy rush to the Lorraine area to recruit troops overnight, just to build the personnel structure of the legion before all parties reacted, and if someone mixed sand into it in the future, it would be squeezed out by the Lorraine.

"Legion Chief, although His Highness Boyle will not be stationed in the Lorraine Legion, he will also need one directly under the Guard. When Duke Clayton saw that Charles had declined Boyle's offer, he made another vague request.

Charles suddenly understood that this was the ultimate purpose of the two of them's visit today.

As the first heir to the throne of Florens, the crown prince Wembley must have a certain military force in his hands, and Bowyle is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and by the time he becomes an adult, Wembley will already be full-fledged, and he will definitely suppress his own brother with all his might, so Boyle wants to take precautions and master an army of his own, whether it is self-preservation or seizure of the throne, it will be a dependent.

"I can appoint a battalion of five hundred men as His Highness's guard, but you must understand that I am the sole commander of the Lorraine Legion, and any military action must be carried out with my permission. ”

"And all the salaries, materials, and equipment of this battalion must also be allocated from the Legion Logistics Department, if Your Highness wants to make this battalion better equipped and pay higher, then it must also be achieved through the Logistics Department, do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing that Charles had agreed to give him the command of a battalion, the little fat man Boyle was very happy, but Clayton's face was a little unpleasant.

He understood what Charles meant, first of all, a battalion of 500 people was a little less than his expected goal, and although this battalion was under their command, it was only limited to training and guarding, and if he wanted to use it to do some secret things, Charles was not allowed, and the latter one was even more confusing.

"Legion Commander, I want my guard troops to be the same as the Royal Praetorian Guard, will the logistics department give them special pay and equipment?"

Charles crooked his mouth and said with a wicked smile: "Of course you can, Your Highness can first hand over the money to the Legion Logistics Office, and then distribute it by the Legion, I will say that I did this kind of thing in order to please Your Highness, so that Your Highness will also avoid some people's speculation and accusations." ”

The little fat man Bowyle nodded thoughtfully, he knew that the "some" Charles was talking about was Wembley, and if he was too high-profile, Wembley would definitely find trouble for himself immediately.

But Clayton gritted his teeth angrily and glared, what kind of "unified distribution"? Charles almost said, "If you have money, everyone will spend it together, and Lao Tzu will just peel off the skin and suck blood."

.........

.........

After the three of them had discussed the basic principles of cooperation, Prince Boyle and Duke Clayton took their leave, not even attending the sumptuous luncheon that Charles had prepared.

Charles asked Olive to divide most of the dishes from the family's knights and servants, and silently worked on a plate of steaks, recalling the past six months.

Recalling that he was anxious to add a military merit in the Ferent Fortress but was rejected by General Cardo, and later General Philo personally sent the military merit certificate to the door and was rejected by himself, and now he still joined the army and embarked on the right path of military development, Charles has a lot of emotion in his heart and no one can confide in.

"Lorraine borders Prus, and if you want to form the Lorraine Legion, we naturally have to pay attention to it, but we have no intention of interfering in the situation in the Lorraine region. ”

Linar still took her place beside Charles, taking a small bite of the veal steak and saying something as if talking to herself.

This morning, Clayton asked Linar a few serious questions, which she ignored, but now explained them gently to Charles.

"I see, our cooperation will continue as normal, I will be going to Lorraine soon, and your craftsmen and assistance will be in place as soon as possible. ”

"I'll personally take the craftsman to Lorraine to meet you!"

Linar nodded, and continued to eat silently, at this moment, she seemed to have the same temperament as Charles, quiet, lonely and melancholy.

Fani sat at the hostess of the table, a little far away from Charles, the atmosphere at the table today was a little dull, and she had been eating silently, but when she heard Charles say that she was going to leave Nasser for Lorraine soon, she finally couldn't help but beg: "Charles, can you let me accompany you to Lorraine?"

"I'm sorry Fani, you can't come with me to Lorraine right now, because Lorraine is still in chaos, and I want to get rid of you and do something for me. ”

Fani's face flashed with obvious loss, but she still smiled and asked, "Okay, what do you want me to do?"

"You are to go to the county of Bayonne for me, and preside over the commercial development that is about to begin there. ”

The lost Fani was surprised, "You're going to let me go to Bayona? Isn't there a housekeeper and Reed there, what can I do if I go?"

"I'll tell you more about the specific things later, as long as you understand that Bayona is the engagement gift left to us by my father, and you, as my fiancée, have the responsibility and identity to protect this family property for me. ”

"You let me ...... Will I protect Bayona for you?" Fani was stunned for a long time before asking softly.

"Well, don't you think you're the most suitable person? Actually, I originally wanted to go to Bayona with you this year after my marriage, but now it seems that ....... We'll have to wait a while. ”

Fani was silent again, the mist clouding her eyes, and the red glow slowly filling her cheeks.

The county of Bayonne was inherited from the Marquis de Lorraine to the Charles at the time of their engagement, and outsiders say that it was an engagement gift to compensate Fani, but there are also many who say that Fanny is a greedy woman who agrees to marry Charles Chevalier for the sake of the richness of the county of Bayonne.

Now that Charr is no longer stupid, and has also shown super strength and femininity, Fani gradually has the feeling that she can't catch Charles, especially the appearance of Linaer, which makes Fani feel a strong sense of crisis.

But now Charles said the word "fiancée" in front of Linaer, and this seemingly sorry but actually affirmative word, but it completely touched her heart.

It's a trust, but it's also an affirmation.

"I must be sitting in this seat, and no one wants to grab it. ”

Fani lowered her head, and the white palm under the dining table tightly clenched the green tendons.
