Gawain met His Royal Highness the Prince in the reception room, and Gawain was also present with Rebecca, who was dragged by Gawain to see the world.

Edmund Moen, the most important son of Francis II, King of Ansu. Gawain didn't know this prince before, but for this trip to the royal capital, he specially asked Hetty and Viscount Andrew to make up a lot of knowledge about the contemporary royal family, so he knew a lot about the contemporary royal family.

Francis II is now old, but there are few heirs, except for the youngest son Edmund Moen, there is only one son and a daughter, of which the eldest son Wales is extremely mediocre, and cowardly and not good at scheming, for a long time it was considered the old king's heart disease, but the old king had only one son in the first half of his life, so Wales was made the crown prince for seventeen years, but later, Francis II was old enough to have a son, and a favorite concubine gave birth to a pair of twin children for him at once, It was Princess Veronica Morn and Prince Edmund Morn.

Compared to their mediocre eldest son, Wales, the twins were born out of nowhere, showing great talent at a very young age, both in martial arts and in wisdom, which was highly praised by their court teachers. The old king, who had been worried about the heir, was saved, and without much hesitation, he removed his eldest son from the crown prince and prepared to transfer the inheritance to his new children.

The government and the opposition had no objection to this, and even the Prince of Wales accepted this arrangement indifferently.

Ansu's succession to the throne is not limited to men and women, but in the end, the status of the crown prince still fell to Edmund Morn, not because the old king arranged it so, but Princess Veronica voluntarily announced that she would renounce the succession to the throne before the announcement of the new crown prince, and converted to the Church of the Light, becoming a nun in the Radiant Cathedral (now has been promoted to a high priest), which is obviously the result of pre-arrangement - the old king naturally blessed his daughter and sent her into the church, and then made Edmund the crown prince, so the inheritance of the Ansu royal family was completed in a fairly stable situation.

Many people believe that Princess Veronica's "conversion" is actually a move by the royal family, through which King Ansu has placed high-ranking members with royal blood in the self-contained Church of Light, and a princess who has given up the right to inherit the throne and is bent on converting to the God of Light is indeed a figure that the Church cannot refuse, both symbolically and profitably. But at the same time, there are opposing opinions, which are considered to be a sign of the growing influence of the Holy Light Church and the erosion of the royal family.

There are many holders of both opinions, but in Gao Wen's opinion, they should all belong to strategic fools, after all, they are just blind BBs......

Gawain wasn't interested in the division of interests behind these royal stories – or at least not to the point where he could think about them, so he simply focused on the young man in front of him.

Edmund Morn was a completely beautiful man, with a heroic temperament and a calm bookish atmosphere, and his demeanor was like a textbook standard, and after meeting him, Gawain muttered to Rebecca: "See, learn a little bit - don't just think about fooling people with big fireballs all day long." ”

Rebecca wanted to remind the ancestor that he was the one who had just pouted him to hit people with a fireball, but he didn't dare to say anything for fear of being beaten.

Edmund had a thoughtful and appropriate smile on his face: "I hope you can get used to living here, if the attendants and maids are not in place, you can tell Steward James directly." ”

"Don't worry, there's nothing I'm used to more than living in my own home," Gawain sat down in his high-backed chair, "You've kept this place well, it's basically the same as it was seven hundred years ago...... You've even restored my favorite tea set, which is really good. You are welcome to sit down. ”

"To keep the home of a hero is to defend our glory," said Edmund with curiosity and respect, "I am not afraid of your jokes, I grew up listening to your stories, and I even have a copy of the weapon and armor you used in my room, fantasizing that one day I will be able to expand the territory and defend the people like you...... It's a pity that no matter as a crown prince or a king, you can't live so casually. ”

Gawain looked His Royal Highness the prince up and down several times, until the other party moved uncomfortably and said, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Talk to me more openly, don't be like you're dealing with an old-fashioned old man," Gawain waved his hand, "I've been dead for seven hundred years, but I'm only thirty-five years old when I died, and I'm not much older than you." ”

Edmund showed a little embarrassed: "Well, you're right, I can't help but add those seven hundred years to your age......"

"There must still be a generation gap of seven hundred years," Gawain smiled, "For example, when we spoke back then, we were much more straightforward than modern people, as long as we had a fight or a drink together, we could get to the point, but modern people have to be polite for half a day to do it." ”

Edmund was stunned, and suddenly laughed, as if relieved: "I'll just say, you won't be as difficult to deal with as my father thinks—he also told me to pay attention to etiquette or something for a long time, and I told him everything, talking too much nonsense is annoying." ”

"You see, I like this way of talking very much," Gawain nodded, "Then let's be straightforward, you came here today to find me to find out?" ”

“…… You're going a little too far......"

"The ancients were all straightforward," Gawain waved his hand, and said in his heart that anyway, those guys who had been dead for hundreds of years would not jump out of the grave to beat themselves, at least on the side of human society, he was the only one who could arrange the ancients at will, so it was just how suitable to come, "So you don't have to hide it—your father sent you here to inquire what I, the guy who suddenly popped out of the grave, was going to do, right?" ”

Edmund shrugged: "That's not what Father meant—he was so cautious that he wouldn't send me directly to ask for such a reckless thing, even if he wanted to understand your purpose." It's my own meaning, and I ...... I'm really curious about what you're here for. ”

Gawain motioned for the other party to continue.

"It's been so long since you've been awake, and you must have known that a lot of things have changed in the last seven hundred years, especially ...... The change of a hundred years ago," Edmund said, glancing at Rebecca, "you are here for the benefit of the Cecil family?" ”

"This question is too general, I am definitely here for the benefit of the Cecil family, but which part of the interests are the focus," Gawain glanced at the prince, "From my point of view, there are many things I can ask for, the most direct - the hereditary dukedom and southern fiefdom of the Cecil family is a big, discussable point, isn't it?" ”

Edmund was stunned for a moment, as if he was not sure whether Gawain meant what he said, but he still replied with a forced smile: "Your title and fief have been inherited by your descendants after your death, and then your descendants have violated the laws of the kingdom and are unable to continue to keep their titles and fiefs, all within the framework of the kingdom's laws......"

Gawain adjusted his posture, approached Edmund, and said with a smile: "Yes, according to the laws of the kingdom, but according to the law, my heir can only fully inherit my title and fief after my death, and while I am alive, only my eldest son has my second-class title and has limited 'legal vicarcity' (note), and all the heirs of Cecil except the eldest son have only noble status and do not hold any legal power - it is clear that I am alive now, Moreover, there is no mention in the Ansu law of how a person who has risen from the dead should define when and when his inheritance rights will become invalid, and how the contradictions that arise during the period of entry and lapse should be defined. ”

(Jurisprudence on behalf of the right to exercise the right in Ansu law refers to the right of qualified noble heirs to act in the name of the family, enjoy the corresponding privileges and bear the corresponding risks and responsibilities.) ）

Edmund: "?! ”

Gawain spread his hands: "So the first step is not valid - the inheritance is invalid, the Grumman a hundred years ago should not be a marquis, nor should he have any legal authority of the Cecil family, you just took away what was not in his hands at all from a person who did not have the right to inherit at all." ”

Rebecca looked at her ancestor in a daze, she never expected that there would be such an operation, and Amber, who was eavesdropping on her ears in the next room, turned her head and glanced at the Byron knight: "It's so amazing—it's even more shameless than me!" ”

His Royal Highness Prince Edmund, who was in front of Gawain, was already on the verge of his expression collapse, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he held back a sentence for a while: "But who would have thought that you would suddenly come back to life when the law was made...... What's more, you have indeed died once. ”

"So, when you talk to me, put aside those logics and laws, they will be invalid by the time I open the coffin," Gawain laughed, "Of course I am not here for those fiefs that have been taken away and the titles of my descendants, I know what that prodigal son did a hundred years ago, and I will kill him if I replace me, the royal family's judgment on this is not wrong, and I do not intend to overturn it." I just want you to know that if I really want to talk to you about the inheritance interests of the Cecil family in the words of the kingdom code, there is so much to go about - who made the whole bunch of articles on inheritance revolve around whether I die or not? ”

"Okay, okay, I see," Edmund said in surrender, raising his hand, "You said seven hundred years ago that people were very upright and not good at detours, but now it seems that you are more difficult than my debate instructor." ”

"Not only have I experienced the barbaric years of Ansu, but I have also experienced the height of the Gondor Empire, so don't underestimate the ancients from seven hundred years ago," Gawain pouted, "We can drink blood when we are savage, and we can give thirty-six names to a red wine when we are elegant, and each name is accompanied by a sonnet." ”

“…… This is indeed a great deal," Edmund was convinced, "and may we speak in detail about what you are going to talk to my father about tomorrow at noon......

Gao Wen nodded, and said in his heart that it was really just as he thought, compared to the meeting in front of the public at noon tomorrow, today is probably the real negotiation link......
