Chapter 219: Unification without Governance
If he wants to prove that he has the power of the king, and can inherit the power of Tony the Sword King in Europe, then he should first prove whether he has this power, and it is not enough to claim the royal power of Italy as a Campione, so he also needs to show his power to all the people who associate in Italy, and confirm the rights and obligations of both parties, which has been handed down from the Middle Ages, and it seems that nothing has changed until now.
Liliana tidied up her outfit, at this time she put on a shawl draped in blue and black vertical stripes, wearing a battle outfit similar to Erica's, although when she got up from the bed, the pain in her lower body was still obvious, but she still suppressed it with her will as a knight, and stood next to Erica with willpower, only the other party definitely didn't want to lose to her.
"William, in what form will you rule this country?" Erica couldn't help but ask, seeing Liliana standing still and enduring the pain, which reminded her of the night in Sardinia that she could not forget, Liliana was almost similar to herself, so that she clearly came to the conclusion that Lily was eaten by William.
It's just that the best knights, especially the king's lover, have to think from William's point of view about how to rule, and maintain this rule without causing resentment from below.
The king can not care about the feelings of the magic association, magicians and ordinary people, but as William's lover, the king's lover, let alone the duties of Andre, the king's steward for the time being, she must not only take care of the top, but also take care of the bottom, and it is necessary to unite colleagues like Liliana to serve the king together, which is quite a test of political talent and diplomatic talent.
"How about ruling in the form of a Holy Roman Emperor!" William replied with a smile.
"The leader of Europe?" Erica nodded, instantly understanding what William meant.
The Holy Roman Emperor, the monarch of the Holy Roman Empire, at the height of his reign was the ruler of Europe, and in his weakening period, the emperor did not even have an inch of land. In Europe, the title of emperor was certainly more noble than that of king, but the king was the culmination of feudal obligations in Europe, even in the Holy Roman Empire, and the emperor was based on the royal power within his own domain.
The Holy Roman Emperor was more like the leader of the alliance of various princes in Europe, nominally equal to the Pope, superior to the kings in terms of ceremonial precedence. Because the title of emperor does not bring any territory to the emperor himself, the emperor can theoretically not have an inch of territory, and in practice there is indeed an emperor of his own without an inch of territory.
The king of the sword, Salvatore Retoni, because he was only more interested in his martial arts and fighting, so the alliance lord of Italy was actually just a title for him, and William called himself the Holy Roman Emperor, so for him, his attitude was very clear, that is, like the king of the sword, as the leader of the alliance, he maintained the original physique, but from the alliance leader of Italy to the co-lord of the whole Europe.
"Then Erica, then I'll make you my opponent tonight!" William said that Liliana was unwell and that only Erica could fight him now.
If you want to become a co-ruler of Europe, you have to show your strength. Although the king has the power that all magicians cannot resist, the king is different from the gods, the king is a member of the human race, relying on the human society as a group, so if you want to exercise the authority of the king, you must use feudal obligations and the right to rule as the basis of the king's power.
Campione is the king of men, and it is true that the human magicians of the entire world are subject to his orders.
But Campione had that absolute dominance, and that was a long time ago. The birth of the god killer is a miracle that human beings have accomplished by killing the gods and accomplishing an absolutely impossible miracle. Since it is an absolutely impossible miracle to achieve, then it must be difficult to achieve, not only is it difficult to give birth to a king in a distant era, but there is even an era when there is a king vacancy, and it is common sense that there is only one king in the same era, but I don't know why in today's era, with the frequent appearance of the god of disobedience, there are a total of seven kings in this era.
The earth is so big, the absolute royal power that originally belonged to one person is divided into seven parts, and because of the terrible power that the king has, just seven kings are enough to make the world feel crowded.
This is like a superpower of the size of the United States, which is not impossible to continue to appear on this earth, but integrating the resources of the entire earth and sacrificing the interests of countless countries can only maintain five United States.
As a result, the godslayers rule over each other with the country of their origins as the core of their rule, and each other exercises the kingship of the human race, which has been divided into fragments.
"I'm honored!" Erica said happily, a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she took over the task of fighting William, whether it was confidence or pride, in Erica's eyes, she was the most suitable person for William, and this kind of queen-like self-confidence could not be seen in Liliana.
Erica's personality is too strong and extraordinarily smart, while Liliana's personality is too upright, so it is always easy to be led by Erica by the nose in getting along, even if the two are equally intelligent, it can only make William sigh that character determines fate.
"You're smart, Erica, but you're too smart sometimes." William said with a smile, which made Erica slightly stunned, not knowing whether this sentence meant praise or sarcasm, or exhortation.
"Thanks for the compliment!" Erica said with a smile, taking what William had just said as a compliment.
What a confidence.
Erica exuded a charming glow all over her body, and as if the beauty of a camellia was displayed in front of him, she nodded slightly to William, and then went to prepare for the next duel.
"It's rude to be like this in front of the king." Liliana couldn't help but say when she saw Erica leaving, these words were somewhat slanderous and demeaning, in front of the common owner William, these words were somewhat rude, but she was such a straightforward and upright girl.
Maybe it was because they drove the car together, so she trusted William, and she didn't even think it was wrong to say it to his face.
"I don't think it's rude, I just like girls who can bloom their most beautiful and radiant side, and they have absolute confidence in themselves, just like flowers." William said with a smile, expressing his opinion.
Erica, the character of this little devil, is actually not likable in getting along, but he does not deny that such a girl does have extraordinary charm.
