Chapter 175: Proposing to Joan of Arc
"An interesting little girl is here."
Jorcus (St. George) said this, and the saints beside King Lionheart all nodded, apparently seeing the same picture.
As a saint, having a special skill inspired by God and being able to vaguely see the historical picture of the future is a skill that is higher than intuition, not so much a skill of oneself as a gift from God.
"Who is it? Red's servant or Black's servant, or the master's of both sides." Richard the Lionheart is not a saint, and he does not possess the skills of the Apocalypse.
"It's someone who has the same faith as us, neither Red nor Black, but Ruler!" Edward the Confessor said.
In this Holy Grail War, in addition to the servants of the red and black sides, there is also a neutral servant as the ruler.
"Please stop here, Your Majesty Richard I the Lionheart!"
Before Richard the Lionheart could inquire in detail, the ruler, whom Jolchos called an interesting little girl, descended from the sky and stood in front of the crusaders.
The girl waved the holy flag, and stood in front of the army, she called the real name of Richard the Lionheart, cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and the girl in armor only looked so majestic from her appearance, but for some reason everyone felt a trace of weakness in her body.
This is a beautiful girl who is like a work of art.
Richard the Lionheart's plan to disguise himself as King Arthur failed in this way because the other party called out his real name.
"Ruler?"
As a servant, after appearing in this world, he will not only be given an entity, but also will be given the common sense of modern society and the rules related to the Holy Grail War.
As the fifteenth servant of neutral mediation, the Ruler (Adjudicator/Mediator) was summoned by the Great Holy Grail, without an aster, and was tasked with making the Holy Grail War work properly, the absolute administrator of the Holy Grail War.
This is the treatment that only Heroic Spirits who do not have a wish for the Holy Grail and do not expect to fulfill their wishes in the Holy Grail War will be chosen.
As the manager of the Holy Grail War, not only does it not require the Master's magic, but it is also endowed with various special abilities by the Holy Grail.
For example, you can see through the Servant's real name and information, you can explore the Servant within 10 kilometers of the Servant, the Assassin's "Breath Block" has no effect on her, and you can cast two spells on each Servant.
It can be said that if you are an enemy, it is a very difficult opponent.
"Yes, I am the ruler of this Holy Grail War, His Majesty Richard the Lionheart, and I would like to be able to get your explanation." Joan of Arc raised her holy flag and made a gesture of readiness to fight.
This is Ruler's question to the Black slave Saber Richard the Lionheart.
"Explain, I don't think I need to explain, Joan of Arc, it's not something you can be involved in, step down!"
Richard the Lionheart also revealed her real name, and the girl didn't seem to have any intention of hiding her identity, so Richard the Lionheart also directly called out her real name.
Joan of Arc was able to become a saint because she saved France as a saint of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and at the same time ended the Hundred Years' War between England and France.
The Hundred Years' War between England and France was essentially a war between the Valois and Plantagenet dynasties of France, which was a landmine planted by William I the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, when he conquered England and became the king of England.
The marriage between the Norman dynasty and the Anjou family led to the dynasty of Richard the Lionheart, which was extremely powerful, the Norman dynasty, not only the king of England, but also the Duke of Normandy in France, was the ruler of the Normandy province, and after Matilda, the last descendant of the Norman dynasty, married into the Anjou family, Richard the Lionheart's father, Henry II, had the territory of the King of England and the Duke of Normandy in France, the Duke of Anjou, from birth.
Richard the Lionheart's mother is the heir to the Duke of Aquitaine, because of this marriage, Richard became the Duke of Aquitaine at the age of 11, and when he inherited the throne, the Plantagenet dynasty not only had the head of the king of England
He was also the Duke of Normandy, the Duke of Anjou, and the Duke of Aquitaine.
The reason why Richard the Lionheart was captured by the emperor was actually inseparable from the French king, because the designated heir of Richard the Lionheart I was his nephew Arthur, Duke of Brittany, so the French king must support the younger brother of Richard the Lionheart, John the Landless.
No monarch can tolerate his vassal power being stronger than his own, especially this terrible vassal, not only the Duke of Aquitaine, the Duke of Normandy, the Duke of Anjou, and the Duke of Brittany, but also a king equal to himself.
After being tried by the Imperial Court presided over by the Holy Roman Emperor, after paying the ransom, he was acquitted, and Emperor Henry VI made an alliance with Richard the Lionheart, deciding to canonize him as "King of Provence" and crown him.
Although it is only a nominal title, it means that Richard the Lionheart is not only a vassal of the King of France, but also a vassal of the Holy Roman Empire, and a direct vassal of the Emperor.
The French king would not tolerate the Plantagenet in any case, and the Plantagenet could not hide their ambitions for the French throne, and the conflict between the two sides was inevitable.
The girl is holding the fleur-de-lis flag symbolizing the French royal family, just by virtue of this identity, this gesture, it is enough to judge the identity of the other party, Joan of Arc.
Joan of Arc had the royal privilege to use the flair-de-lis flag, and Richard the Lionheart did feel the power of the angels in the flag.
The holy flag waved by Joan of Arc before her death became a treasure, with the blessing of angels, with the power of protection, and Richard the Lionheart took out the banner of Michael, showing the same power of angelic protection.
"This is the banner of Archangel Michael!" Joan of Arc looked at the flag waving in Richard the Lionheart's hand.
"Richard, using Michael's flag means stepping on French soil, Joan of Arc is French!" William said as he surrounded by Paul, Erica, Liliana, and other knights.
The use of this banner can certainly increase the strength of Richard the Lionheart, but William does not feel that the French love Richard the Lionheart is stronger than Joan of Arc.
"William, I'm French, too!"
Richard the Lionheart said firmly, looking at Joan of Arc, "I don't have to explain it to you, Joan of Arc. If you say yes, say yes, say no, and if you say any more, it will come from the evil one."
Richard the Lionheart, borrowing a phrase from the Gospel of Matthew, handed Michael the banner to one of his soldiers, then drew his royal sword and aimed it at Joan of Arc, "If you are going to fight, then I am not afraid to fight, and Christians do not need to swear at all, because I will not lie, and I do not need to be affirmed by this."
Joan of Arc was suppressed by this amazing spirit, this open-mindedness, undoubtedly full of the wind of a king, for the Lionheart Richard's evaluation, are two extremes.
The supreme monarch and the unjust tyrant, but the so-called tyrant is simply that he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a king to fight a war with tyranny, and he is said to be a supreme monarch, which is judged by Christian values.
The hero who led the Crusades and liberated the Holy Land undoubtedly deserves a high reputation, as evidenced by the excommunication of the former Duke of Austria, who had imprisoned him by the Pope, and for Christians, he was the king of Leonidas, who led 300 Spartans against the 500,000-strong Persian army, full of pathos.
If Richard the Lionheart had died on the way to the Crusades, he would have been canonized long ago.
"What's going on with these servants?" Joan of Arc asked.
"I summoned it, this is the power of my Noble Phantasm, as a ruler, since you can directly tell my real name, then you can also see my data and Noble Phantasm!"
"Yes, you can see it, but it's too anomalous, and the amount of magic it takes is astronomical!"
Joan of Arc said in disbelief, of course she can see through Richard the Lionheart's true name and ability value, and at the same time know the other party's treasure, but it takes a huge amount of magic to activate such a treasure.
"Because my lord is very strong!" Richard the Lionheart said.
"But they're offending servants!"
Joan of Arc pointed to the saints behind King Lionheart, the army of King Iskandar, the treasure of the conquering king, has the power to summon his own army, but the summoned Heroic Soul Servants will not be given the position by the Holy Grail, they can only exist in the inherent barrier, but Lionheart King Richard's is completely different.
Not only can the crusaders stay in this world, but even the summoned Heroic Spirits have been given the rank by the Holy Grail, Joan of Arc doesn't know what Richard Lionheart said that his master (magic) is very strong, what is this benchmark, but she knows that it is not the Holy Grail War between Black and Red that allows Richard Lionheart to go on like this, but that Richard Lionheart himself summons Servants who belong to neither Black nor Red to start the Holy Grail War.
"Richard the Lionheart, I declare you guilty!" Joan of Arc asserts.
Violations.
You say we're in violation.
Where did we violate the law, it is obviously so formal, and if we really want to violate the law, there are more than these people.
Both William and Richard the Lionheart felt insulted.
"William, this ruler doesn't seem to be very cooperative, why don't we change it?" Richard the Lionheart said blatantly in front of Joan of Arc.
"How, this is summoned by the Great Holy Grail." William was also a little stunned, he was not satisfied with Joan of Arc's arrival.
"The Holy Grail has given Aster three spells, and Ruler, for us, the Red and Black Servants, has two spells, in other words, Ruler has fourteen spells, and if she is willing to blow the black whistle to join us, then we are basically certain of victory."
Richard the Lionheart said, Joan of Arc was a little shocked when he heard these unscrupulous words, and asked himself as a referee to blow the black whistle, and if he didn't agree, he would have to change the referee.
This world has experienced the bombardment of many Holy Grail Wars and Holy Grail Subspecies Wars, and the methods of these Asters and servants of the Holy Grail Wars are so wild?
"Lionheart Richard, I am on the neutral side, if you give up your crazy idea and dismiss your followers, I am willing to treat this matter as if I did not know, otherwise I will not only be your enemy, but I will also inform the red and black sides of the Holy Grail War, as well as the Templar Church and the Magic Society." Joan of Arc declared once again that it would be foolish to fight the other side in such a situation.
"He threatened us."
"yes, how do you make her blow the black whistle."
Richard the Lionheart and William exchanged information, and then Richard the Lionheart suddenly had an idea, "Joan of Arc, you weren't married, were you?"
Joan of Arc showed a dazed expression, she didn't know what Richard the Lionheart meant by this, of course Joan of Arc in history was not married, as a saint who liberated the motherland from the Hundred Years' War between England and France, she was already burned at the stake at the age of 16, and was excluded from being a village girl in her hometown of Orleans, which was to accept the divine revelation and embark on a journey of war, and there was neither love nor marriage in life.
"What do you think of me?" Richard the Lionheart asked.
"What, how are you?" Joan of Arc was confused.
"It's what kind of person you think I am!" Richard the Lionheart asked.
"As a Christian alone, you are a hero, a saint, a knight of knights, and it is up to your people to decide whether you are a king or not, and they will want to follow you after death, and it is clear that you are a king comparable to your ancestor King Arthur."
Joan of Arc thought for a moment and said, this was indeed what she really thought.
"So, how about I propose to you?" After Richard the Lionheart finished speaking, Erica and Liliana showed incredible expressions, and even William was shocked.
Isn't this span a bit too big?
"Your Majesty, are you insulting me?" Joan of Arc angrily held her holy flag and looked at the King of England in front of her.
"No, I don't mean that, it's just that when I see a beauty, I will inevitably feel excited, I think you are very suitable to be my queen, since you don't want to, then my lord is still single and unmarried, he wants you
How's it going?"
After Richard the Lionheart finished speaking, he pointed his finger at William, Joan of Arc's face turned crimson, what the hell is going on, what does Richard the Lionheart want to do.
"King Lionheart Richard, first of all, whether I will agree, and even if I agree, I will fulfill my responsibilities as a judge, neither favoritism nor favoritism." Joan of Arc said with clenched teeth.
"Miss Joan of Arc, you have to say yes, you have to say yes if you don't, I said I was French, so naturally I would do the French. It's like the King of France did with Anna Brittany."
Richard the Lionheart drew his sword, and the saints looked at the scene with staring eyes, but did not move, obviously questioning Richard the Lionheart's actions.
Anna Breton, a famous tragic princess in French history, the only daughter of Francis II, Duke of Brittany, and the Duchess of Brittany,
Originally, her marriage partner was Maximilian, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, but in order to prevent the Duke of Brittany from leaving the French territory, the French king Charles VIII forcibly dissolved his marriage contract with Maximilian's daughter, and directly sent troops to attack Brittany, and the soldiers came to the city and surrounded the Duke of Anna in the castle.
So at the age of 15, Duke Anna became Queen of France, and six years later Charles VIII died, and Charles VIII's uncle Louis XII succeeded him as queen.
After Louis XII ascended the throne, he divorced his wife directly and married the former queen Anna, not caring whether the other party agreed or not, for the same reason as Charles VIII marrying Anna.
In any case, Brittania cannot be separated from France.
"Is it necessary?" William couldn't help but say, he felt that Richard the Lionheart was a little excessive, this wasn't bullying a little girl.
"Of course, this is politics, Joan of Arc is willing best, if not, then she must be willing, otherwise it means that she has fallen to the enemy, she is a fairy, you have to marry her, she is a sow, you have to marry her, the king cannot be emotional. If she loses her usefulness and has a better marriage partner, you can also change your marriage partner. What's more, the other party is not bad-looking."
Richard the Lionheart said very seriously, "If you don't want to, just come with me, Patrick is the bishop of Ireland, he is a priest, and he can officiate the wedding today."
Propose to Joan of Arc.
No, it's forced marriage!
