No one knew what Mongisa V and Duke Ramonard had discussed, but the nobles got together to talk about it, and the most talked about topic was the smashing of three priceless tilara porcelains by the future Duke of Lunición, who is said to be sick today. His Royal Highness, who relied on Princess Cecilia to ascend to the throne, finally realized the importance of the sword-wielding nobles he used to call "vulgar", but it was too late, and the army brought by Duke Raymond completely changed the situation in the Holy City.

Everyone was waiting for the attitude of one person----- it was not Duke Clarke, who was on the journey------- Princess Cecilia also did not appear at the ceremony to welcome the duke.

As the daughter of Mongisa IV, Cecilia has always walked on the blade of power. At the most dangerous time, she turned the tide and insisted on electing her younger brother, who was not favored by everyone, to become the new king. Although many people lamented the princess's choice later, Cecilia's status did not waver in the slightest.

Because she was the most prized daughter of the old king Mongisa IV, she had the key in her hand to unlock the locks of the treasury that could arm a knightly order. If it weren't for Cecilia's wealth, His Royal Highness the Duke of Luncion would have been thrown into some unknown gutter long ago.

It was she who had supported the Holy City for so much time, and it was she who had worked so hard to support the whole situation for her ridiculous brother. And now, her most cherished brother is fiercely opposing her husband. In the dim light of the oil lamp, Cecilia smiled wryly and lit a piece of letterhead, watching the fire scorch the fragile surface of the paper, rolling it up and flashing a little starlight. She frowned, the light reflected half of her face, and from Lunicion's point of view, his wife was like a princess from those fairy tales he had heard as a child, and all men yearned for it.

"Cecilia. The Duke read her name and embraced his lover gently, and although the Duke sang and had fun, he had always loved his wife and had never played with other women. "All right, my lord. The princess gently broke free from her warm embrace, and she held her husband's face with both hands, as if she were talking to herself, and as if to tell him, "What should I do, my dear brother on the one hand, and my beloved husband on the other, why can't I sit down calmly and talk about it?"

The tenderness in Lunicion's eyes was instantly replaced by anger, and if it weren't for his wife's body and majesty, he would have stood up and roared angrily. The Duke tried to suppress his anger: "Cecilia, your dear brother wants to kill me, I really don't know why you chose him to be king in the first place. "He is, after all, my brother, the crown of Mongiza, and needs a man to wear it. The princess replied calmly.

"But now he's trying to drag me down so that the hillbillies can get in place. Cecilia, my dear Cecilia, I know you like business and don't like politics, but now that I'm out of power, can the little king let you continue to enjoy those commercial advantages?

Cecilia gracefully flicked the oil lamp, and then closed the shade with intricate carvings: "You are the Duke Regent because the king did not want to be a king before. And now that he's grown up, he doesn't want to be the invisible man in the castle anymore, what's wrong with that?"

"He'll kill me, Your Highness Princess. The Duke walked around anxiously, "He hates me, he hates me for taking away the power that belongs to him." He hates us, and he'll kill us, Cecilia!"

Looking at her gaffe husband, the princess stood up with some amusement and some distress and took his hand: "Listen, my dear husband, I know my brother. He is smart, but headstrong. He was young, but impetuous. He has the bearing of a king, but lacks the experience of a wise man. He has ambition and ambition, but he lacks composure and waiting. He is gullible to others, but he also has his own little calculations. Wait, Lunicion, he will summon me, I do not believe it, he will abandon his sister and fall completely to His Royal Highness the Duke from Raymonard. ”

The day after receiving Duke Ramonard, Mongisa V summoned his few men to meet with the Duke.

Well, maybe not a few, but only two.

"These are two of my most trusted knights, Jean Jacques and Owen Lillera. So said the king. The Duke looked up at the two tall knights, and made a self-deprecating gesture of height difference: "Judging from their height, I know that the two are knights who can fight well, not to mention, there is this." "Wherever he was, the knights' robes of the Holy City always stood out on their coats of arms.

"The troops brought by the Duke are stationed outside the city, and Duke Clark is also on his way. The king sat on his throne and tapped on the handle of the solid gold, calling him the duke's fiefdom, "thanks to the information sent by Raymond, the movement of the Assuna is becoming more and more obvious. Fortunately, aid from the Kingdom of Bamholm has been arriving one after another, and supplies from other countries are on the way. What's more, Duke Ramonard was happy to offer me his loyalty. ”

Hearing this, the Duke bent down: "Loyalty to the king, this is a favor from the Father, and the kingdom needs to unite under your maple leaf banner." ”

"It's time to talk about my dear brother-in-law. Mongisa V's face turned gloomy, "He's a guy with no one in his eyes, if it weren't for my sister's relationship, I would have picked him up and thrown him into the wilderness to keep him company!"

The Baron and Jean Jacques looked at each other, and the king's anger came a little too quickly. And on the throne, Mongisa V's anger also went quickly: "Princess Cecilia, my sister, she has enough wealth in her hands to buy half of the Holy City. The king turned to the duke, "I heard that you have a little unpleasantness in business?"

Duke Ramonard looked at the king with some surprise, he did not expect Mongisa V to mention this matter on such an occasion, but he quickly and appropriately answered the king's question: "It's not unpleasant, it's just that the princess's merchants have some competition with the chamber of commerce in my domain." ”

For the first time, the baron knew that the dignified and beautiful Princess Cecilia was actually in business. Seeing the disbelief on the baron's face, Mongisa V burst out laughing: "Lildra, you are not a nobleman born and raised in the kingdom after all. My sister is a business wizard. Of course, a small part of this is thanks to the help of Lunición, only a small part. ”
