Duke Ed is looking for Sinloth, what else can he do, it's nothing more than thinking about his Duke of Ireland.

Among the counties of Britannia, except for Brittany, which is directly under the governor, only Ireland does not have its own duke. Ed's title is indeed a duke, but he is not a duke of Ireland - the devil knows what evil Eddard has created, a good duke, there are only two territories left, and he can't even keep the title of Duke of Ireland.

Now through a litany of intrigues...... No, it was a good and gentle negotiation that Ed finally managed to gain the support of the majority of the Earls of Ireland.

Won the hearts of the people, although the young and promising Duke refused three times, but it was really not enough to withstand the enthusiasm of the public representatives, in desperation, although he knew that his qualifications were not good, he was not knowledgeable, but Ed was still cheeky and reluctantly took the duke's crown.

It's just that although His Excellency the Duke, who is as warm and powerful as a father, has won the love of all the Irish people, he still needs to be recognized by the Empire - even if it is just a formality, after all, the etiquette cannot be abolished.

His Excellency the Wise Governor will not refuse this lawful and reasonable request.

Anyway, Cynroth tried to listen as seriously as he could.

[Ed, Duke of Kildel, asks Governor Allen for the county. Ireland]

Personally, Sinlos doesn't really matter. Even if Governor Allen did give Duke Ed the title of Duke of Ireland, it wouldn't have any effect on him - again, this guy was a vassal of the Demon.

As the name suggests, the Duke of Ireland is naturally legally able to rule over the whole of Ireland. Nominally, all of Ireland was his domain, and the counts were his vassals. But because of the existence of the emperor, this legal principle is really dispensable, and it is more just a name. If he really wanted to forcibly take back the territories of the counts, then not to mention the reaction of the counts who regarded the territory as their life, the emperor's first reaction would definitely be to destroy Eddard.

Because of the egg-sore sub-feudal system, and the simplicity of the Irish people, more often. The counts always listened to the announcements - unless the matter itself was in their favor. Truth be told, Cynroth didn't understand Ed's fanaticism for becoming Duke of Ireland.

It is no longer the era of the great division between the east and west of the empire, and it is almost impossible for the upper echelons of the empire to directly canonize the great nobles. And if you only get to a name, under the strong bullet of the emperor and the governor. What's the use?

Modern people have never been able to understand the resentment of the family that has been passed down for a long time, after all, although they are all dukes, the Duke of Kildel is several grades lower than the Duke of Ireland.

But if you ask Sinloth if he doesn't support it, of course he does. After all, they now have the support of the majority of the people, and they are fully in line with the basic law of the empire. This is everyone's decision, and it is really not a dictatorial decision, which is in line with the national conditions and basic principles of the empire.

And if you block it yourself, it is equivalent to going against the trend of history, and you will be crushed into scum by the wheel of history. In that case, why should he object?

If he agrees, he will lose nothing, and he will also increase Duke Eddard's favor with him. If you oppose it, you will be hated by the duke, and everyone knows how to choose.

Then again. There is a territory in Britannia that nominally belongs to the Demon of Law, and I don't know what Governor Allen's temper is, so I can bear it.

So, under the approving gaze of Duke Eddard, Sinloth, like everyone else, cast his sacred vote. Rosa seemed to be in a bit of a struggle, but after sneaking a few glances at Sinloth's expression and seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, she finally agreed to the proposal.

Since there is no one to object to it locally, then next. It's the tear between Duke Ed and Governor Allen...... Gambling. As things stand, however, a united Ireland would be of more help to His Excellency the Governor than a divided Ireland.

I just don't know what Governor Allen thinks...... Then again, the Earls of Ireland were in session. Bishop Alain, what are you doing with a clergyman?

Meetings can be a waste of time, even if the atmosphere is very harmonious. Several earls had shown affectionate eyes to Duke Eddard, and they seemed to be unable to hide the excitement that Ireland could finally have its own duke again, and their fists turned white.

Everything was perfect, it was just what everyone was expecting. Originally, according to Duke Eddard's meaning. Everyone should go for a drink to celebrate. However, considering that the current war is imminent, it is really not good to drink and have fun, and in desperation, everyone has to disperse.

Well, it's good that the mood of the counts was stable that night, and there was no mass bloodshed.

……

After sending off a few annoying nobles, a preoccupied Sinloth returned to the Tirpitz. Sinlos arrives at Ellie's door, only to find Tirpitz standing in front of Ellie's door, grimacing.

“…… Still angry? ”

Seeing Sinloth coming, Tirbitz's face was a little happy. She stepped forward and grabbed Cynroth's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Charulu, is it my ......?"

"Ellie may not be very receptive...... It will probably be fine after a while. ”

After all, Ellie regards Tirpitz as a friend, but Tirbitz is now going to be her stepmother, and no girl can accept this huge gap - Mariana is not dead yet!

"Hmm."

Tirpitz said no more, her eyes narrowed, and she snuggled happily into Sinloth's arms. Because of her growing size, she finally didn't have to sit in his arms like a child anymore. Although he still hasn't recovered to his heyday, he is now very happy for Tirpitz and doesn't dare to ask for too much.

Tirpitz's attire has not changed, he is still dressed in the same large-brimmed hat, black jacket, short skirt and black boots. But in the past, when she wore these, it would make people feel a little cute at best. And now she is really beginning to show the beauty of a girl.

Sinloth stroked Tirbitz's soft hair and looked at the closed door in front of him. It is said that men are lower body animals, and this sentence actually makes sense. But the sins of his own creation, with tears, have to bear the blame...... No, it's all the fault of that damn ** trait!

……

Tirpitz wanted to sleep with Sinroth, but after some mental struggle, the Count rejected the girl. After all, now that his body has been "treated" by Tirpitz, he is ninety percent better, and he really doesn't need to continue to risk being found by Ellie again to do those heart-pounding things.

Tirpitz looked very disappointed. But he obediently went back to the room alone. Alone stood on the mast of the Tirpitz, looking up at the brilliant galaxy overhead. They are so close that they seem to be grasped with the palm of your hand. They are so far away that it seems impossible to get close to them in a lifetime.

It's not that he likes to pretend. But in the past few days, the nobles from all over Britannia have basically arrived, and the docks and the military camps outside Rennes have been full of people. If nothing else, then Governor Allen should be sworn out in the next two days.

This is not the first time Sinloth has participated in a large-scale war, but this time it is at stake for the safety of all of Britannia. There are eggs under the nest. Since Sinloth's roots are in Desmond, how can he not care about this war.

This time, under the mobilization of the whole territory of Britannia, the number of people was actually not less than that of Norman, but one side came as a temporary sign, and the other side was a lion of a hundred battles. What is the specific difference in combat power, it is a matter of opinion.

Moreover, it is highly likely that the Water Lord will not coordinate the dispatch of troops.

I don't know who leaked out of this news, and not many people believed it, but with Shui Jue's long-term inappearance, this rumor is intensifying. According to certain well-informed aristocrats. The remnants of the five fleets even deliberately turned back to Byzantium.

What are the five fleets going back to do, are they ...... The kings have changed?

What an eventful time.

Just as Sinlos looked up and sighed at the sky, a weak female voice suddenly came from under the mast: "Sinloth, can you come down for a while?" ”

The Count looked down and saw that it was the little white flower in the long white dress who was looking at him shyly. Without hesitation, Sinloth jumped from the high mast.

"Yikes!"

As if he didn't expect Sinlos to jump straight down, Shanado let out a small exclamation. But this height is really nothing to the current Xinluos, the kinetic energy control technique was suddenly activated, and in just a few breaths, Xinlos has landed safely.

"Is there something wrong. Shanaiduo? ”

Looking at the smiling face close at hand, Shanaiduo caressed his crisp breasts, as if pressing the beating heart back into his chest. The calmness and chic of the man in front of her when he jumped down from a high place was still too attractive for the girl, which made her excited for a while.

"I'm going back to Shinra."

"Back to Shinra...... That's right. ”

It was always rumored that Governor Conrad was seriously ill. Rumors that will soon die. Sinlos doesn't know if it's true or not, but judging from the current series of behaviors of the Governor of Shinra, I'm afraid it's true. And now the dead sister has summoned her baby sister back, which has confirmed Xinluos's speculation.

“…… Be careful on that road. ”

Shanaiduo wanted to speak and stopped, and Sinlos was not. He really wanted to tell Shanaiduo to hurry up and take away her snake spirit sick brother!

But in the end. Sinloth still didn't say anything, because he didn't know what Shanaido was thinking. A woman's heart, a needle under the sea, even if it's just a fourteen-year-old pseudo-Lori.

"I'm going to go on the expedition in a few days, and I don't know if I'm free to see you off. But Ellie should come, and she will stay in Rennes ...... forever."

Shanaiduo lowered her eyes, seeming a little disappointed. She seemed to be struggling with something, and the girl gripped her handkerchief tightly with both hands, not daring to look at Sinloth.

"In the blink of an eye, two years have passed, and I still remember the last time we met, you only came to me......"

Just as Sinloth was trying to reminisce about the past with Little White Flower, Shanaiduo suddenly raised his head. The girl lifted her veil and stood on tiptoe to kiss the Count on the lips. The petal-soft lips of the earl were on the earl's lips, but before the count could savor the strange smell, the maiden, like a frightened rabbit, left a word, and ran quickly into the distance.

"I'm waiting for you in Shinra...... Must come. ”

“……”

Sinloth caressed the place where he had just been stabilized by Shanaiduo, and was silent for a long time. (To be continued.) )
