Since the royal guard is claimed to be the most elite army in the kingdom and the most trusted descendant army of the royal family, it is inevitable that the military positions in this will be targeted by the nobles up and down the kingdom. You must know that among the generals stationed in important military towns in various places in the kingdom, nearly half of them have served as junior colonels in the royal guard when they were young, or they have been directly promoted in the royal guard and finally sent out. Such a place that can almost be said to properly gild their military resumes after coming in, those nobles who hope that their sons and nephews can develop in the military in the future will certainly not easily let go of the opportunity to send them here to be famous.

However, as the descendant army of the Loris royal family, the royal family naturally would not watch the royal guard become a gathering place for a group of young masters who came here to mix their qualifications, but in the end, the royal family made a certain compromise...... The three guard brigades of the Royal Guard, the first and second brigades, will never let any so-called "related households" cut into the team, and can only speak with hard power that can stand the test, while the third brigade has relaxed the conditions, as long as they are "loyal subjects of the kingdom with good conduct and can obtain the recommendation and guarantee of meritorious loyal ministers trusted by the royal family", they can "enjoy a certain degree of priority call-up rights" in the process of selecting and joining the team.

In fact, everyone who understands knows that the Third Guard of the Royal Family is actually a place where a group of young masters who come here to gild gather. Of course, despite the large number of "related households" , but because it is a unit under the establishment of the Royal Guard after all, the Royal Third Guard is not the kind of loose discipline that people imagine, and there is no combat power at all, only eating, drinking, and having fun, and being able to fight ten such waste boys, normal military discipline can still be smoothly implemented in the Third Guard in most cases, and the training is at least maintained at the same level as the ordinary ordinary army, but there is no way to compare with the strict training level of the First and Second Guards, so the combat power of the Third Guard is stronger than the ordinary troops by relying on weapons and equipment。

Not only to maintain the face of the royal family, but not to let the dignified Royal Third Guard become a ragtag army, but also to take care of this group of young masters so that they can realize that they are here to "train" and not to "be tortured", from the perspective of these two points, it is obvious that it is a painful thing to be the commander of this Third Guard. But in terms of results, at least the current governor Kappa is doing well.

Capa was single-handedly promoted by the old King Leonard II from the position of a junior officer, because there is no so-called political backing behind him, Capa is quite trusted by Leonard II, and during the reign of the old king, he helped the royal family deal with many unsightly "dirty jobs" , and what is rare is that Capa is a very good person, and he is not impetuous, but has maintained a very good relationship with the four dukes within the scope that the royal family can bear, and in the absence of any conflict of interest, the domestic officials of all sizes headed by the four dukes are also willing to sell him some small favors and small faces.

With the help of his own network of personal relationships and the trump card of royal trust, Capa's tenure as the captain of the third guard of the royal family has been smooth sailing for several years, and the young masters and soldiers under his command have received instructions from their families and will not be okay to find trouble, and even he has once again broadened his social network with the help of the relationship between these young masters and soldiers, this time the new king of Loris ascended the throne, and his old minister not only did not fall out of favor, but was also promoted from the viscount to the earl, which can be regarded as infinitely beautiful.

Tonight, however, was not a very good night for Earl Capa, who had been in a good mood lately.

First of all, Count Capa was in a bad mood.

It is also a matter of course, and anyone who is holding his second wife, who has recently married home, who died of illness without leaving any heirs, is suddenly woken up while sleeping soundly, and is not in a good mood.

And when he simply sat down in the reception room with a warm and luxurious fur coat over his pajamas, and saw the guest who had woken him up from his sleep so late, his mood was even worse.

No, it's probably too light to describe it as bad......

-- Charles I, the current King of Lloris, has ordered the Third Squadron of the Royal Guard, Earl Capa, to take over the security work outside the temporary arena of the Four Chambers Tournament tomorrow, and then when the time comes, stop the Knights Templar outside the arena to assist the members of the royal family in apprehending the members of the Solan Viewing Order, and if necessary, to attack the Knights Templar who are guarding the Solan Viewing Order, regardless of the lives of anyone other than the target.

"This ......"

Duke Kappa repeatedly read the contents of the secret letter in his hand, and after making sure that he had not read it wrongly or understood the meaning of it, he raised his face to look at the calm and relaxed late-night visitor standing in front of him.

“...... I have to say, sir, it's hard to accept. ”

The young man who stood in front of Capa's eyes, calling himself Yuris, smiled.

"Lord Earl, please rest assured, as long as you can handle this matter, your promotion to the rank of Marquis is imminent, and maybe even His Majesty the Emperor will take this opportunity to directly promote you to become a real general and take charge of an entire army...... And most importantly, you will continue to receive the ...... of His Majesty the new King of Loris Special trust and goodwill. ”

Capa's eyes flickered, and the gloom on his face eased slightly.

“...... No, I suppose you have misunderstood what Earl Ben meant, sir, it is my honour and duty to be able to do things for His Majesty. ”

"Forgive me, my lord, indeed, your loyalty to His Majesty is beyond doubt. ”

Capa was pleased with Yuris's cleverness, and his gloomy face improved a little more.

"Yuris...... Hopefully I'm not misremembering your name, what I want to know is...... Why should I believe you?"

"I think the secret letter in your hand should be the best token, after all, the meaning of the royal coat of arms on it, I think you should know best. ”

The Earl's hand squeezed the secret letter tightly, but his heart relaxed slightly.

At first glance, the royal coat of arms at the end of the secret letter is no different from the coat of arms stamped on the ordinary edicts, but if you look closely, you will find that at a specific position in the corner, there is a small pattern that is not the five-pointed star on the royal coat of arms on the general edict but a six-pointed star.

This is a mark that only those in the know know...... This royal coat of arms with a subtle difference is not a fake, but another heraldic mark that has always been used by the royal family of Lorris, but has never been widely circulated in the royal court. When it is necessary to convey on paper something extremely important that is not convenient to explain in person, but the authenticity must be carefully confirmed by both parties, the royal family members generally use this coat of arms to send a signal: "There is no doubt, no matter the content, strictly enforced." ”

Because of the experience of working for the old king, which was not known to outsiders, Capa was all too familiar with this coat of arms, and after seeing this coat of arms and hearing Ulris's suggestive answer, Capa actually believed most of it in his heart, but he still shook his head.

"I still know that there is a kind of magic in this world called transfiguration magic...... Unfortunately, I am a master of Dou Qi, and my perception of magic is not high, so I have no way to prove that the secret letter you gave me was written down by His Majesty the Emperor himself......"

As if to be pointed to the key point, Yuris did not immediately answer Capa's question this time, but still looked at Count Capa with a smile that could not see any fluctuations in his expression, and Count Capa did not avoid his gaze, just pinched the letter and looked at Yuris.

“...... After all, it's ridiculous. ”

His Majesty the King wants to launch an armed attack to capture the members of the Solan Rite at the Four Chambers of the Elemental Festival?Not to mention that this completely subverts the purpose of the original King of Loris when he designed the Elemental Festival, isn't this exactly the same as wanting to wage war against the Holy Kingdom of Solan?This is ridiculous...... Yes, most people who have read this secret will think so.

After about half a minute, the smile on Yuris's face suddenly increased.

"With all due respect, is this really ridiculous in the light of what you have learned, my lord?"

Count Capa's expression changed suddenly, this guy ......

That's right, Yuris got to the point.

Looking at this secret that most people would think that it must have been forged, Count Capa seemed hesitant and hard to believe on the surface, but in fact he knew that this secret order, perhaps, no, was likely to be true.

Another benefit that the network of people that has been broadened by the Third Guard's group of young master soldiers is that he is more informed.

For example, at the beginning of the Elemental Festival, Kappa heard many secrets between royalty and nobles that were worth figuring out.

...... It is said that His Majesty seemed to be in a bad mood that night, knowing the welcoming attitude of the people when the Solan Viewing Group entered Arrant, and did not even eat dinner.

...... It is said that the current saint brought the deputy head of the Knights Templar to Loris to force His Majesty to sign some treaties with them that would be beneficial to the Cult of Solan, otherwise they would declare that His Majesty the King had colluded with the Nolan clan and mobilize the believers in the kingdom to support Prince Naris, and in any case, this kind of religious matter will always be the most authoritative for what they say.

...... It is said that this time in the main competition of the Four Houses and the freshman competition, Her Royal Highness the Princess and another student named Cheruth respectively overpowered the limelight of the alternate saintess and the flame saint on Solan's side, and the group of people in the Solan viewing group did not dare to do anything to Her Royal Highness the Princess, but instead pressured the National Academy to investigate the girl named Cheruth who tried to seize the handle of others and disqualify the other party......

...... It is said that the Holy Kingdom of Solan was originally intended to support Prince Naris......

...... Reputedly......

In short, judging from a series of gossip that Capa had heard during this time, it was clear that the new King, His Majesty Charles I, was not so in harmony with the Solan Cult.

Therefore, tonight, after seeing the secret letter brought by Yuris, although Kappa's first reaction was that this guy was likely to be an imposter and not some so-called royal envoy, but after thinking about it carefully, Kappa found that it seemed that His Majesty the King was not really impossible.

Look at what is written in the letter, His Majesty said that the only ones who can kill are those guards of the Knights of the Templars, as for the key people, His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden and the deputy head of the Knights, His Majesty did not hand it over to his side at all, but said that the "members of the royal family" would "arrest", the meaning is obvious, His Majesty did not want to kill the other party, but just wanted to teach the other party a lesson in this radical way, so that the group of guys in the Solan God Sect should not forget that they were in the territory of the Loris Kingdom and not in their ******** The Holy Kingdom may use these people as hostages to ask for some benefits from the Holy Kingdom of Solan.

As for the war, let's not talk about whether His Majesty the King has that meaning or not, geographically speaking, if the Holy State wants to fight Loris, it must pass through a large area of the Prude Empire. Since the rebellion of Kells two years ago, the Prud Empire has been taken advantage of the opportunity by the Holy State to enter the army and religious institutions in the name of searching for Nolan, and it is not news that the new Prud Emperor Hos I is dissatisfied with Solan, and he will definitely not agree to such an unreasonable request of the Holy Kingdom of Solan, after all, the battle between the two powers of Prud and Lloris on the Western Plains is its own business in the Western Plains, and neither country is willing to let the gods of the Holy Kingdom of Solan in the south run in and intervene.

Perhaps it was because the old king Leonard II had helped the other party to carry out too many conspiracies during his reign, and after encountering such strange things, Capa's mind subconsciously moved in the direction of conspiracy theories. Yes, maybe the rumor that among the two heirs to the throne in Loris is an ally of the Nolan clan, and this secret ally is His Majesty the King, which is why His Majesty the King is so reluctant to see the Cult of Solan...... Perhaps, His Majesty the King wants to take the opportunity to completely eradicate Prince Naris and his forces on the charge of colluding with the Holy Kingdom of Solan......

And His Majesty's choice of himself is definitely justified, first of all, he has done a lot of dirty work under the old king before, and he can be regarded as the person who knows the most about some of the secrets of the royal family that are hidden in addition to the people in the royal family. After the new king ascends the throne, it is more convenient and safe to reactivate his veteran than to find another "garbage handler" for the royal family. As long as he can show the same loyalty to the old king and his ability to deal with these things that are not well known to outsiders, then he will still be the most loyal confidant of the new king......

Immersed in his own world, Capa didn't notice it, and at the same time that all his thoughts were reasonable and unreasonable were springing up, Yuris, who was standing in front of him, smiled and quietly closed the cork of a small bottle in his palm, and then quickly hid the small bottle in his pocket......
