Can rebellion be legal?

Taking different positions on this question will give diametrically opposed answers.

From the king's point of view, rebellion is undoubtedly a crime of treason and unforgivable. If the king himself is not legitimate, rebellion becomes a feat of setting things right. The final verdict, of course, rests with the winners.

However, the knight's values of loyalty and valority determine the social order of the human kingdom. The feudal lord had supreme secular power over the vassals, and the vassals who dared to overthrow the rule of the sovereign would inevitably be questioned internally, attacked from the outside, and severely punished by the theocracy.

The form of power change within the kingdom or even within the empire cannot go beyond the basic constraints of the Radiant Code, and the knight bloodline determines the right of succession. It's like the royal family of the Sasang Empire, in the case of the decay of the golden bloodline, the golden knight lord of the empire can make the Rand Emperor silent with a single look. How can the imperial royal family exercise the power of the sovereign in the face of the spiritual oppression of the extraordinary and powerful? The Rand royal family simply stayed away from the center of imperial power and ran to a remote place to recuperate. The Eagle Empire eventually split into the kingdoms of Dord, Neville, and Gambis.

Even so, the lords of the Three Kingdoms could not deny that Neovest was the nominal lord, let alone commit the crime of killing kings. Otherwise, the act of rebellion will continue to repeat, causing the bloodline of the knight family to die out one by one.

The king's power comes from noble blood. Bastern worries that Anna's blood will pollute August's silver bloodline. Although Sylvia followed the traditions of her descendants and agreed that the heirs of Anna and Edward should be owned by the Yorks, Auguste's direct blood was notoriously capricious, and the first king Lane refused the noble daughters of the four princely families to marry Linda and Catherine, and ignored the pure-blooded Princess Roland and Archduke Williams, and wanted to hand over the succession to the king's second son, Edward. If the little king, like his father, valued family affection more than the king's responsibility, and took the initiative to canonize Anna's child as the crown prince, plus Anna had the support of the god knight behind him, the four princely families had to compromise. They must not allow Sylvia to purge the four families and plunder August's silver bloodline in the name of defending the king.

Fortunately, the life span of the Divine Knight is shorter. The four princely families can temporarily succumb to the fall of Sylvia, and then look for an opportunity to cleanse the descendants of Blinor City, pull Anna's heir from the throne, and re-establish Auguste's royal bloodline.

However, in the process, Queen Anna's marriage to King Edward was legalized, and the kingship of her heirs was recognized by the Church and the Lord of Gambis. The "rebellion" of the four princely families needs a legal cloak.

Sylvia kills the old Marquis of Bastern in public. The Four Princes could claim that Auguste's marriage to the House of York was coerced by the Knights of the Gods, not by His Majesty Edward's will, and that Queen Anna's heirs were not entitled to the throne. Archbishop Sein, of the Patriarchate of Tamor, was a witness to the death of the Marquis. The Patriarch of Tamor would be more than happy to use this to undermine the prestige of the Clement lineage.

If Edward doesn't want to be in trouble with Anna's descendants, and if Sylvia doesn't want the York family to be at war, it's best to abide by the core terms of the marriage contract and let Anna's heirs honestly accept the royal family's arrangement.

Bastern Palace prepares for a rainy day, and uses his life to coerce the king and the god knights to keep their promises and prevent the kingdom of Gambis from falling into the quagmire of infighting in the coming period. His actions were scoundrels, and his sacrifice was heroic. While his stratagem is very effective, it is also particularly vicious.

Edward and Anna danced the opening dance and returned to their throne with a depressed expression. How can Anna be happy when her sweetheart is unhappy? She drooped her head, her beautiful eyes were red, and she forcibly held back so that she did not cry on the spot. The young king sat for a moment, and then left the knights' hall. Fortunately, he hasn't forgotten to take his fiancée away. The two little ones may be comforting each other in a place where no one is around. But in the eyes of the guests, His Majesty was reluctant to make the engagement. I'm afraid this is also in the calculation of the old palace minister.

The first love is innocent and beautiful, and the love of a teenager and a girl does not contain a trace of impurities. It is obviously a happy thing to be engaged to his beloved, but the man's representative wants to force the woman's parents to kill him at the engagement ceremony, and he also kills in front of the newlyweds, and the purpose of his death is to deal with the newlyweds' offspring...... No one can accept it.

Bastern was reprehensible, and his despicable actions had caused a great deal of damage to Edward and Anna's feelings. But for the Augustian royal family and the lord of Gambis, the Bastern palace was generous and loyal.

Victor sympathizes with Edward and Anna's plight, but who made one of them a king and a noble daughter of a large family?

The marriage between the king and the nobles of the big family must first meet the political needs, and love is dispensable. At least in the eyes of the lords, this is all taken for granted.

Bastern dared to offend the majesty of the Divine Knight, and deserved to die! Edward and Anna are unhappy and not worth paying attention to. Auguste and the Divine Knights are strongly united, the political situation in Gambis is stable, there is no worry about civil war, and the kingdom is expected to expand southward, which is enough.

The king and the future queen quietly left the scene, and the nobles of the royal capital and the local lords continued to sing and dance.

Victor hid alone in the corner of the hall, looking at the jubilant guests, feeling rather depressed.

Bastern really damned it! He actually forced me to carry the black pot in public, and coerced my Sylvia...... I should have comforted Sylvia, but none of the three Guardians of the Kingdom were there...... Who are those two high-ranking knights beside Judy? It seems to be the Duchess of Joshua and the Duchess of Nimes, forget it, don't get into trouble...... By the way, Catherine must be sad that Edward has been struck, and I need to comfort my former mistress...... The next time we meet, I don't know when it will be?

Victor stared intently at the Queen Mother, who was dignified and delicate.

Catherine was chatting with several noblewomen, and after a while, she raised her slender hand and stroked her smooth and full forehead, frowned willow eyebrows, as if she was as delicate as drunk, covered half of her face with a fan, said a word to the noblewomen beside her, and walked with the court maids to the side door of the hall.

Victor flashed through another side door, and walked down the dark corridor, his footsteps silently behind Catherine. The sound of high heels tapping on the floor drew a clear picture in his mind. Catherine went to the door of the common room, and told the maid to come back in four quarters of an hour, she needed to be alone. The two court maids curtsied and turned to leave.

When the maid was far away, Victor avoided the patrolling guards, stood at the door for a moment, made sure that Catherine was the only one in the room, and gently pushed open the unlocked door, and then froze on the spot.

Dressed in a sky-blue princess dress, with her hair shawl and her legs crossed, Roland sat beside Catherine and looked at him with fierce eyes.

"This is Catherine's dedicated lounge. What are you doing here?"

Victor restrained his smile, straightened his collar, stroked his chest and saluted, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake." ”

"Wrong? Hmph, follow me. ”

The eldest princess sneered, walked past Victor, and walked straight out the door. Catherine held her sharp and charming chin, pursed her red lips slightly, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of narrow smiles. Victor shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, closed the door gently, and followed Roland's footsteps.

The two walked out of the corridor inside the knight's hall, through the inner court of the palace, and into the quiet back garden in the hazy moonlight.

There is a small waterhole in the depths of the garden, and two old oak trees are planted on the shore of which are hugged by five people. The trunk of the tree is wrapped with purple vines, and several rattans cross the surface of the pool, connecting the two ancient trees that are far away.

Roland jumped lightly on the old oak tree, stepped on a wisteria with the thickness of a bowl in his high heels, walked gracefully to the middle of the pool, and beckoned to the reflection of the silver moon in the water, "You also come up." ”

As soon as Victor jumped on the wisteria, Roland curled the corners of his lips and applied a slight force to make the rattan swing high. Victor seemed to merge with the swaying violet vines, and paced unhurriedly to the eldest princess's side.

"Remember here?" asked Roland softly, brushing his white-blonde hair, looking down at the silver moon in the water.

"Hmm. Victor nodded, smiled and said, "The first time I climbed up, I was shaken down by you, drank several mouthfuls of water, and almost drowned." Within two years, you were shaking Edward down again. ”

Roland giggled for a while, and said softly, "I also fell, and I was shaken down by my father." He also shook my mother and Catherine down...... My father and Uncle Williams were shaken off by my grandfather. ”

"Is this August's tradition?" said Victor.

"yes. Roland smiled and pointed to the opposite bank, and said, "Since this wipevine climbed to the opposite tree, every Auguste has fallen. My grandfather was also shaken into the water by his father......" She was silent for a moment, and then said leisurely, "I haven't met my grandfather, he fell shortly after Uncle Williams was born, because of the failure to attack the Golden Rank. He was 71 years old at the time...... Almost every Crown Prince Auguste did not see his grandfather or grandmother, they were promoted too early. ”

The sooner the Silver Knight storms the Elemental Sea, the more likely he is to succeed, but that's only the difference between one percent and five percent. Silver kings generally do not consider promoting to the Golden Knight until they are 90 years old. Roland was promoted to the Gold Rank in his 20s, Ryan was promoted to the Gold Rank in his 40s, and Roland's grandfather was 71 years old to hit the Golden Knight. If Augustus had hit the gold sector so early, it would have been unconscionable.

Victor couldn't help but ask, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Roland sighed, shook his head and said, "Bastern Palace is ten years older than my father, and it looks like my grandfather. When I was young, he came to the palace every day to tell me stories and play with me...... He did the same with Edward...... I used to think of him as my grandfather, and Edward always thought of him as my grandfather...... But Bastern was not our grandfather. ”

"Ryan doesn't like Bastern, and he doesn't like any of the marquis of the four families. I later learned that Bastern was telling me stories and at the same time getting people to discredit my mother. He is now threatening the descendants of Edward and Anna with his old life. ”

Roland tilted his head, bared his cute little tiger teeth, and asked, "You say, should that old scoundrel be damned?"

Victor said lightly: "He's dead anyway." ”

"Bastern has never been less, there has been, there is now, and there will be in the future. Roland puffed out his cheeks and said angrily, "Ryan has six children, and Edward and I are the youngest. Ryan had two sons and two daughters with the court lady in the knight and silver ranks. My older siblings left Lane at a very young age. Ryan was angry, just like I was. He believes that only by becoming a golden knight can he do whatever he wants. He was then promoted to the rank of Golden Knight and married an ordinary noblewoman to be the queen of the Gambis. He and Linda gave birth to me, and watched Linda die of weakness. Ryan vowed to give me a free future, and he married Catherine and wanted to have another child to take care of me......"

"Do you understand what's going on now?"

Victor nodded silently, he already understood.

Auguste is a man, not naïve. Roland is not a stupid white sweet. She is gifted and intelligent, and has political vision and political skills that are difficult for ordinary people to match.

Edward's three marriages are a testament to the political situation in the Kingdom of Gambis.

The majesty of the Divine Knight is not to be offended. Sylvia was born, and the extraordinary powerhouses of the human kingdom were eye-catching. The diplomatic strategy of suppressing first and then co-opting is definitely not suitable for Sylvia. Despite Sylvia's revelation of the status of the Spirit Knight, Ryan did not give up on his strategy of annexing the Kingdom of Dodor. He made a secret agreement with Sylvia to betrothed Edward to the noble daughter of the Joshua family and to integrate the three eastern provinces, all in order to create the illusion of discord between the royal family and the gods and knights, and to paralyze the outside forces. Unfortunately, both he and Sylvia underestimated the influence of the Spirit Knight, and eventually fell in misfortune.

Lane's death caused a rift between August and the House of York that would be difficult to bridge. The Kite Castle can only make mistakes and use the threat of the god knights to gather the local lords of the kingdom. The Yorks moved westward to the hills, and the strategic location of the Joshua family was no longer important. Regardless of whether Sylvia has taken Caterina captive or not, Kite Castle will overturn Edward's engagement to the Joshua family. Sylvia saw through this and snatched Caterina from the situation. The Kite Castle used the House of Nimes in the western part of the kingdom as a buffer against Sylvia, and the House of Wellington in the south-central part of the kingdom as the backbone of the fight against the House of York. Margaret naturally replaced Caterina.

Sylvia is also using external pressure to purge the Yorks from within. She wants to sort out a stable and orderly political structure first, and then absorb external forces to calmly strengthen her own strength. But the appearance of Victor changed the course of the human kingdom.

The new farming and animal husbandry system has alleviated the basic contradictions of human society and made great development possible. Realizing that it would be difficult for the York family to gain a foothold in the Southern Continent alone, Sylvia must change their strategy and unite the lords of the Gambis Kingdom. At this time, the marriage between Jinshui City and Kite Fort met everyone's expectations.

Victor carefully combed through the course of events and found that Roland was particularly active at every key point. Marriage was the first to be proposed by her.

Roland sends Edward to visit the Centaur Hills and reveals Victor's bloodline potential at Leopold's dinner, both of which are a signal of reconciliation to Sylvia and the lords of Gambis.

The Duke of Wellington teamed up with the Randall family because of Victor's noble bloodline, in fact, changing the political landscape of the confrontation between the lords of the Midsouth and the Centaur Hills. The Wellington family's partnership with the Centaur Hills shook Margaret's position as queen. Sylvia grasped Roland's intentions, and she secretly encouraged Audel to send Anna to Victor's side, just to lay out an idle chess game in advance for the marriage with the royal family. Otherwise, how could she possibly make the vassal lords of the House of York question the inheritance of the Embiter lineage?

The beginning of the incident occurred precisely during the period when Roland accompanied the barbarians and visited the Centaur Hills.

Victor touched his nose and said sullenly, "Edward visited Jinshui City, and after he returned, he mentioned Anna to you. You attended the jousting tournament in the Centaur Hills and told Sylvia about it. Because Viscount Randall was the squire lord of the Kite Castle, I became Anna's guardian...... Actually, you and Sylvia have a tacit understanding for a long time. ”

Roland stretched his waist, sat on the rattan, took off his high heels, and his white little feet reached into Bitan, smashing the silver moon in the water, and asked, "Am I very selfish?"

The eldest princess's feet were extremely beautiful, delicate and coincidental, and the flesh and bones were evenly stopped, shining with a warm luster in the moonlight, as if carved from white ivory. Victor glanced at it, and looked away unnaturally.

Roland raised his calves as white as jade, his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were rolling, and he said with a charming temptation: "Do you want to touch it?"

"Think...... Belch. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Victor remorsefully wanted to slap himself twice.

"I won't touch you. Roland hid his feet in the water and looked at the embarrassed Victor with a grin.

Victor shook his head and smiled, "Is it fun to tease me?"

"It's not as fun as it used to be. ”

Roland smiled and said, "Be nice to Catherine, I know the first person you like is her." Because she wasn't a high-ranking knight at the time, she couldn't influence your will. ”

Victor was silent for a moment and asked, "Why are you talking to me about this?"

"You guy......" Roland jumped up, crossed his waist, and said menacingly: "Anyway, I am also your teacher." Are you upset that I asked you to take care of Catherine and Edward in the future?"

Victor smiled and saluted, "As you wish...... His Royal Highness the Teacher. ”

Roland rubbed Victor's black hair, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Well, this is the good student I cultivated." ”
