According to the "Golden Seal Edict" issued by Emperor Charles III a hundred years ago, the imperial princes summoned the imperial princes, and determined the system of the imperial emperor and the status, responsibilities and obligations of the princes.

The edict gave the princes in the empire the status of vassals in the form of imperial law, and there were more than 2,000 princes in the whole empire, who held many privileges such as administration, justice, diplomacy, taxation and so on in their own territories, according to William's modern view, there were 2,000 independent sovereign states within an empire.

Once William was also puzzled, English fairy tales, Italian fairy tales, French fairy tales, and Denmark's "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", although there are many princes and princesses in the story, but only Germany's "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is the most special.

The reason is that there are princes and princesses everywhere in Grimm's fairy tales, as if there are no princes and princesses, there are no corresponding fairy tales.

In fact, the Brothers Grimm, the authors of Germany's "Grimm's Fairy Tales", died on the eve of the reunification of Germany, before the iron-blooded Chancellor Bismarck unified Germany, Germany had 1,789 secessionist regimes, and according to the independent sovereign families in Europe, male members could be called "princes" and female members could be called "princesses".

Thus Brandt, as the son of the baron, can be called a prince, and the daughter of a baron can also be called a princess.

"Hello, Your Royal Highness Prince Brandt!"

William bowed slightly to Brant behind Klein, he was full of curiosity about the prince, and the prince and princess were undoubtedly the protagonists of the legend in a world that was suspected to be set in Grimm's fairy tales.

Prince Brant frowned, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but Klein shook his head slightly, and Prince Brant said in a deep voice with a straight face, "William, you go back to see your father Master William first!" ”

William was stunned for a moment, perhaps a remnant of the power of the Lucky Gold Coins, and he was keenly aware of Prince Brandt's hostility towards him.

It's just inexplicable, William doesn't understand how he offended this prince just now, he looks back on the tone of what he said just now, there seems to be nothing wrong, even if he looks at Prince Brant more, it's not much of a sin.

William was puzzled, but at the signal of Captain Crane's eyes, he nodded to him and walked home.

The Great Windmill is marked by the Hess family's bakery, William's own house is marked by a large chimney, and the medieval blacksmith was a heavy manual laborer and a man of advanced technology.

From pots and pans, deadbolts, nails, swords and armor needed by the villagers, William Sr. was once called a master by King Thorne, and he also built trebuchets for King Thorne, whose trebuchets always threw the largest stones.

The trebuchet was the most sophisticated siege machine of its time, and the blacksmith workshop of Wilhelm's family had a certain status in various countries, and its wealth was not inferior to that of the knight Hans.

"Captain Crane, why don't you let me teach this arrogant guy a lesson?"

Prince Brant looked at William's distant figure and said angrily, as if he was displeased with William's eyes.

"My dear Royal Highness, how did little William offend you?" Crane looked at Prince Brand, who was sulking, and said with a smile on his hands in front of his chest.

"Captain Crane, don't you think William is arrogant? I admit that William Sr. was a master, but William Jr. was only a half-blacksmith, and you can see the way he looked, his expression, his gaze on me, and the same way he spoke to me as he did with these militiamen. ”

Prince Brant frowned and said with some displeasure, "Who does he think he is." He was only a freeman in my father's domain, and he spoke to me with such a look and attitude in the face of his future monarch, that he almost thought that he himself was the same person as me. ”

William was very arrogant, and Prince Brant recalled the way William looked at him just now, the look of disregard for dignity, which was completely different from the eyes of the girls in the village who longed for him and the commoners who were in awe of him, even the children of the village, Hans, did not dare to use this attitude.

Maybe William could be arrogant to other commoners or even others, but he had such an attitude towards himself, a nobleman, a prince, a future baron, and his own monarch, that Prince Brant wanted to whip the other party.

"It seems that little William is going to be unlucky, a free man actually disregards everyone with such a disregard for dignity, and he should be punished well."

Klein said nonchalantly, looking at Prince Brant and said, "If one does not have the power to gain respect, then it is best to remain humble, and I don't seem to think that William is such a person who does not understand humility." ”

If you want to gain the respect of the nobility, you must either have talent, artists, scholars, swordsmen, merchants, because the nobles depend on them to gain fame and power, and in order to maintain their rule, even old William, who is a blacksmith, because he can build trebuchets, he cannot be called Master William, but even such a person cannot be despised as a prince.

"Then Captain Crane, what do you think gave him this disregard for humility?" Prince Brant said angrily that even William Sr., William Jr.'s father, couldn't look at him like that.

He, Brandt, was a prince, and William was just a freeman in his realm, did he consider himself a prince?

"Perhaps, our little William has slaughtered the evil dragon, and is waiting to marry the princess of Thorne and become the king, you must know that Thorne is an earldom, and then the identity of little William will be more noble than that of His Royal Highness the Prince."

Klein said in a strange manner, although as long as it is an unmarried male and female of the family of an independent sovereign lord, he can be honored as a prince and princess.

But after all, princes and princesses are just nice titles, not noble titles, no actual power and status, maybe only centralized countries like the Ottoman Empire in the East, the sons of monarchs and sultans, just the title of prince is noble enough.

In the territory of the empire, they are also princesses, and the status of earl princess, viscount princess and baron princess is naturally not equal.

"Little William, that guy deserves it too! The brave is a monster that even the dragon can't defeat. ”

Prince Brant said disapprovingly, and William Jr. deserves to be compared to the brave.

"Then he must have had some adventure. Prince Brandt, you should understand that God is the light, just like the sun shining on the world, impartial, but the stupid world always shares the blessings of God unequally, thinking that if you are illuminated by the light for a little longer, you feel superior, in fact, in the eyes of God, there is no difference between a king and a beggar. Even David the Shepherd could have been king if God had willed. ”

Klein said lightly that in this fairytale medieval world, as long as God wants (fate favors him), even a poor boy who was penniless before can make a great career.

Even the Supreme Emperor, His Majesty, only claimed that he had imperial power because of the favor of the gods, not because of his own virtue.

If Francis the Brave had not failed to slay the dragon, perhaps he would have been able to ascend to the throne of king because of God's favor (fate favors).

Who makes it a time when miracles will appear and prayers will be fulfilled.

Prince Brandt's face was ugly, and the person he didn't know was exposed overnight because of a miracle, and the beggar at his door suddenly became rich overnight and became richer than his own family, which is enough to make anyone's mentality unbalanced.

"Such awesome people are not allowed to exist in Andag Village, and I, Prince Brandt, are not allowed to do so."

Prince Brant said calmly, looking at Captain Crane, "Lord Crane, don't you have an idea to deal with William?" ”

"Of course, His Royal Highness Prince Brandt, you are the future king, and if you say you don't allow it, then you don't allow it."

Klein said slowly, "Everyone died, and William ran back, and I felt the need to report to the church whether William had sold his soul with the help of Satan's power and was resurrected, or that he was a demon in human skin." ”

The brave are all dead, the dragon slayer mercenary group is wiped out, and William runs back alive and without any injuries.

How can this kind of son of luck, the general awesome character of the protagonist in an epic story, allow him to exist.
