Royal Palace of Ireland

"My dear, you don't have to be depressed, Duke William inherited a powerful principality from birth, and King Harold of England is also a son of his father, and his family has been a British heavyweight since the time of Cnut the Great, and you are just the son of a blacksmith, and it is normal that you have not accumulated enough to defeat Duke William."

William returned to the palace, and the first thing to comfort him was the beautiful fairy Lily, the two were in a fiancée relationship, and according to the promise, once William sat on the throne, then Lily would become the queen of Ireland.

Lily's relief is actually not unreasonable, William is just a blacksmith, William's father William Sr. is also a blacksmith, and William's father's father is still a blacksmith, although this profession is not lowly, but it is not decent in the ruling class.

Duke William's father was the previous Duke of Normandy, and the father of the previous Duke of Normandy was the Duke of Normandy, which was a wealthy family for generations, whether in the Viking Age or the Norman era, it was only a heavyweight family of the French royal family.

King Harold of England, he is the chief minister of King St. Edward, and his sister is Edward's queen, if it weren't for Harold's father's nod, King Edward would not have been able to come to England to inherit the throne.

At the same time, there are Duke Conan of Brittany, and King Harald of Norway, who were born princes, have their own power, can receive a good education, and marry wives who are all real princesses, and have their own countries to inherit.

This is the challenge of the poor bastard to the world's top rich and handsome, whether it is a world full of miracles or the world where William once lived, the huge class difference has never been so easy to cross.

Therefore, whether it is a failure or a setback, it is understandable and there is no need to care about it at all.

St. Patrick said this, and even his future pillow man Lily said so, which made William feel unacceptable, whether it was on the side of the Irish Christian saints or the side of the Irish Celtic gods, since King Arthur was snatched away by the dragon, their attitude towards themselves began to change dramatically, all of them wanted William to be the king of Ireland with peace of mind, and not to ask for the throne of England and the whole of Britain.

William is not unable to understand their feelings, after all, the basic plate of these great beings is in Ireland, even if William gets Britain, it is impossible for William to revere St. Patrick as the patron saint of England and even the whole of Britain and Ireland, let alone spread the belief in the Celtic gods and Druidism.

King of Ireland, King of Ireland.

William had bitterness and sarcasm in the corners of his mouth, if he could become the king of Ireland before the crossing, then among the friends in the village, he would undoubtedly have reached the pinnacle of life, you must know that although Ireland is small, the population is small, and the country is poor, but it is also larger than the territory of Burgundy, and it is a kingdom, not a duke, nor an earldom.

But the biggest tragedy of Ireland is that it is too far from God, too close to Britain, in real history, after the Norman Duke William conquered England, his dynasty began to unify the whole of Britain, and in the name of the "Irish Lord" Ireland was included in the rule, and Ireland became a colony of the British Empire in later generations.

Think about Mexico and other countries that are too far away from God and too close to the United States, as close neighbors of the United States, all of them have become economic colonies of the United States, and the United States will not allow these neighbors to develop too poorly, leading to a large influx of refugees, and at the same time, it will not let these countries develop too well, but will only continue to gather their wool and curb their national potential.

For example, Mexico, a country with abundant resources and a large population, could have become a developed country without interference, but because the United States is nearby, a large amount of territory has been taken away by the United States, and funds have been attracted by the American market, so Mexico, which is also a country of natural choice, has become a country where drug traffickers and government troops are in full swing.

Ireland is one of the developed countries in Europe.

Just let me be the king of Ireland at this time, and let me be the king of Greece, or even the pharaoh of Egypt.

William had a lot of thoughts in his heart, his eyes were on the beautiful Lily, even though he knew that his marriage to Lily was only a political marriage, a marriage between him and the Celtic gods of Ireland, he didn't know if Lily had ever loved him, but he knew that he might like Lily, but only because of her looks, not his true love.

It's just that once he wants to have a showdown with Lily, he feels unbearable, after all, in his most depressed moment, it was Lily who supported him and gave him blessings, and the beautiful and noble princess was the wife of his dreams.

"Tiger Charm."

William took out one of the sources of the Holy Lord's magic from the palm of his hand, the Tiger Charm of the Twelve Charms, the Tiger Charm can regulate the good and evil in the heart, only by showing the demeanor of the evil William, he can only consider the interests of Lily and the goddess Eliu for himself, and wholeheartedly consider his own interests, and go to Britain to save King Arthur.

Lily saw William in silence, she wanted to reach out to touch William's face, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, William blocked it with her hand, and William looked at Lily, with a look in her eyes, and said slowly, "What if I insist on an expedition to Britain?" What exactly is the goddess behind you in her thoughts? ”

Lily saw William, who looked a little terrible with scrutiny in her eyes, and didn't know why she had a trace of panic in her heart, but lowered her voice and said helplessly, "The goddess of Eliu is just the goddess of kingship in Ireland, and her realm is only limited to Ireland. ”

Everything didn't need to be said again, and when William heard this, he understood what the other party meant.

Goddess Eliu did not support an expedition to Britain to save King Arthur, which was a limitation of Goddess Eliu's priesthood and realm.

"What if I insist?" William asked.

"You don't have your own army, the elprechauns' armies may not want to follow you on an expedition to Britain, you are not their true monarch." Lily said, "As a king, you can't rule one country or conquer another country if you're just one man. ”

"But I have money, and my Erin Kingdom treasures haven't been used up yet, so I can spend money to recruit troops." William said.

"It's too time-consuming, soldiers need weapons, they need training, and after a year and a half of training, the Norman Duke will probably have conquered England and ruled firmly." Lily shook her head.

"What if it's just the recruitment of mercenaries? How about the dragon slaying mercenary group, the most elite mercenaries in the world, they even charged directly at the emperor's imperial army, and recruiting them only requires money, and I happen to be not short of money. ”

William was full of trust in the dragon slayer mercenary group, this mercenary organization composed mainly of Swiss was very effective, as long as the money was in place, then the loyalty was also very reliable, whether it was the Pope, the French king or even the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, he liked to use the Swiss as his guard.

The reason is that the army of their own country may be bought, it is possible to defect because of political ideals, and the Swiss who are mercenaries for money alone will definitely sacrifice their lives for their employers and fight to the death.

"Ireland is just a small country far from the European continent, insignificant, and they won't serve you." Lily continued.

"No, although I am the king of Ireland, I am also a citizen of the Holy Roman Empire, I and the dragon slayer mercenary group are their fellow countrymen, and if you want to curb the Norman duke, then I and the French king have natural interests, and we can form an alliance, and I will visit the pope with Irish sustenance, and be recommended by the pope and the French king, then it is logical to hire."

William interrupted Lily's words, and Lily, who was still about to say something, continued, "Even if the emperor is against it, then it doesn't matter, there are so many great princes in the Holy Roman Empire, and there are always princesses waiting for the princess among the big princes, I can marry a princess as my throne, then I can ignore the emperor's pressure on me." ”

The Norman Duke is a vassal of the French King and an opponent of the French King, so when the Emperor and the French King are opponents, the Emperor and the Norman Duke are of course natural allies, of course, this is also the reason why the Duke of Conan and the French King are allies, and William and the Norman Duke are enemies, so this time to go to Europe and the French King Alliance, it is naturally regarded as the Emperor's enemy.

The emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was not centralized, the supreme monarch, and the great princes had considerable independence, so as long as they could get the support of the great princes, the emperor's attitude would be ignored.

"Your queen is me." Lily had a shocked expression on her face, she heard William's words, her eyes were full of incredulity, she was the incarnation of the Irish goddess of kingship, Eleu, only the king who was combined with the goddess of kingship, was the king of Ireland who was destined to belong, this is where her confidence lies, who knows that she and the goddess just supported William to become the king of Ireland, William is going to turn his face and deny people.

"Who said that I made such a promise? In the presence of St. Patrick, I did not put the crown of the queen on your head, who do you think you are, you are just a pagan fairy, how can you be worthy of me, the king chosen by God. ”

William said indifferently, "You are not willing to support my expedition to Britain, let alone my personal actions, but only obey the will of the Celtic gods, you don't seem to have figured out your position, you are my queen, you should be a wife who puts my or our interests first, not a fairy who thinks about the Celtic gods everywhere, so since you are such an unqualified fiancée, then I naturally have no interest in maintaining this political marriage with you." ”

"Go back, Lily, don't let me use the soldiers to drive you away, and I don't need to say it myself." William said calmly, and the soldiers in the palace also came over.

Morgan Le Fay watched this scene with satisfaction from the palace, and she was very satisfied with William's performance, worthy of her sister's choice.
