"In my more than sixty years of life, although rare, I have seen some such geniuses after all.

Each of them is like a polished diamond...... It can emit the brightest light, but it can also easily scratch your hand. To put it simply, it's about the fortunes of the country. ”

The tone of the female archduke seemed to carry a trace of nostalgia, and there was also a trace of regret: "Such a genius, if used well, even the development of the country can become more prosperous."

But if the appointment is not done properly, it can also have huge consequences. ”

"It's a pity...... "The third bishop of the goddess of spring water also sighed, "it would be nice if this young man was discovered and recruited in advance by our temple or the forces of the Grand Duke."

The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals...... He became a nobleman on his own, and his allegiance was not to us, but to a small lord with a heart for the principality.

In this case, it will be difficult for you to use it in the future.

I'm so sorry, little Victoria, if only we had worked harder for the elders. ”

"It doesn't matter. The princess said quietly, "Actually, I already had some clue when I talked to Charlotte about that Lomin.

That Luo Ming was not a guy who could be restrained casually, and even Charlotte herself estimated that it would be difficult for him to order him to act.

The so-called loyalty will only be observed when it is in his interests.

In other words, he thinks that his knighthood is completely earned by his own efforts, so naturally he does not owe anyone anything...... This is probably the logic of the mercenaries?

The female grand duke smiled dumbly: "Okay, if you have time, you can go to the mercenary union by the way, and ask the old man over there how to treat the mercenaries."

However, there is one last point to remind you. ”

At the same time, she tapped the cane in her hand again, and the water mirror that originally showed Luo Ming immediately changed its angle, and Luo Ming's figure could no longer be seen.

"Remember, we are the rulers of the principality. One or two geniuses, no matter how amazing they are, are not necessary.

We are the largest territory in the principality, we have the name of righteousness, we have the protection of the goddess of springs, and we can collect a certain amount of money from the nobles of various places every year for various reasons, so it can be said that we deserve to be the first in the principality.

A genius comes to us, and unless he can do his best and then do that kind of work, it's just icing on the cake.

If it's hard to win him over, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go all out, as long as he doesn't run away to serve the other nobles, then there will be no threat to the royal family.

Even if he is a swordsman who can prolong his life, before he gets old, he has already worked hard to become a viscount, it is great to become an earl, but there are nearly a hundred earls in our principality, and one more of him is nothing.

Even if he can become a legend, what if he is a legendary powerhouse alone, it is a completely controllable factor for us. ”

It was only then that Princess Victoria came to her senses.

Genius is important, but for today's royal family, genius is only important, not necessary.

Even if there is no genius, the royal family will definitely not lack ordinary talents to be loyal, as long as they don't make a big mess, relying on their superior strength, they can slowly subdue the domestic aristocracy, step by step to return the power to the central government, and finally become the supreme lord of the principality.

It's nothing more than a tough village and a dumb fight. Even if the side with superior forces does not use any strategy, as long as it does not mess up, it can basically win.

And a genius like Luo Ming is a greater help to those powerful factions in China who are dissatisfied with the royal family, and having such a genius to make up for it may be able to increase the success rate of rebellions and other conspiracies, and it can also further intensify their ambitions and make desperate things.

"I think he should know who is the most powerful in the principality and who can give him the support he wants. ”

Speaking of this, Princess Victoria smiled confidently: "This guy's ambition is not to the extent that he has to annoy the royal family anyway, in that case, with his wit, there is only one option to cooperate with me."

The cooperation between the strong and the weak will sooner or later become an unequal vassal relationship, it doesn't matter, I have time to wait slowly.

Charlotte is also my best friend, and I already have an advantage in this regard. ”

"I'm sure you can do it, Victoria. The Grand Duchess encouraged her, and then said no more.

As she stared at the images of the other nobles reflected in the mirror, she muttered incantations as a few quill pens hung in the air, writing down her thoughts and opinions on the sheets of cloth.

Although for an old man like her, using her brain with all her might is already a thing that will harm her health, she still has to keep doing it.

In the last few years of her life, and maybe even the last few months, she would rather work harder and waste her energy to pave the way, clear obstacles, and reduce the difficulty of the princess's succession, rather than be lazy and slack off at this time.

After she ascended to heaven after death and entered the kingdom of the ancestral gods, if she saw that the princess was entangled in the affairs of the principality, even if she gained eternal life in the kingdom of God, she would regret it forever.

The principality and the ancestral goddess of spring water are inseparable and close in their own right. Even if she ascended to her kingdom of God, it would be impossible to escape the responsibilities of the principality.

Unfortunately, the boundaries between the dead and the living are very strict.

As a dead person in the kingdom of God, even if he can survive forever, it is almost impossible to have the opportunity to intervene in this world again.

Even the oracles issued by the gods to the world have to be completed with great difficulty, and if those dead emperors could support their children and grandchildren one by one, this world would not be what it is today.

Thinking like this, the princess was in a trance for a while. I don't know if it's the helplessness of my grandmother's imminent death, or the lament of the tide of history.

"Take it. At this moment, her grandmother's words brought her to her senses again, "Recently, I have to give you a few things to do, try to win over all these people as much as possible, and enlist their help."

How much of them are serious about doing things, how much are they just coping, how clever are they, how much are they stupid? I think they will be able to see more clearly when they help you do things. ”

"Understood!" said the princess, taking the thick roll of cloth.

Looking at the tiredness on her grandmother's face, she held back her tears and didn't let them fall.

This is not only for those young aristocrats, but also for themselves.

Then, you must do it beautifully, so that your grandmother will not suffer from disappointment on the eve of her death!
