Chapter Fifty-Nine: I Fell in Love with the Chartered Woman
Speaking of which, why did he bother with overthrowing his own empress's rule? His ancestors were famous loyal ministers loyal to the Yangyan Imperial Family, and thanks to the blessing of that ancestor, he could obtain the status of the son of an earl at birth, and then become a prominent imperial earl at a young age after his father's illness and death.
"陛xià. ”
Gently touching his forehead, which Elizabeth had just kissed, Fogg blushed like a young boy.
"Ah, well, I'm here. ”
Elizabeth was taken aback by Fogg's emotional call, but she didn't dare to run away from the other party's side, so she had to touch Fogg's hair and whisper.
"Your Majesty, down. ”
This time, Fogg fell directly to his knees.
"Hey, Foggie, what are you doing here!"
Elizabeth hurriedly tried to help Fogg who was kneeling on the ground, although theoretically his life should be saved now, but it was just a simple kiss, is his personality so strong?
In the Yangyan Empire, the way of canonizing nobles has become very processed, first you have to send your bloodline certificate and inheritance legitimacy certificate to the Ministry of Justice in the imperial capital, and then after being reviewed by the civil servants of the Ministry of Justice, you will send back the canonization letter representing the legitimacy of your identity to your hand, and the canonization of nobles will be successfully completed in one time. Since the Yangyan Empire was so large, this simplified but reliable method of canonization was indeed a very practical option, but it also caused a small problem, that is, eighty percent of the nobles had never even met the empress they had sworn allegiance to, let alone had any special feelings for the empress.
The empress is not just a signature on the title page of the canonization book, but only a nominal object of allegiance, and the reason why the nobles in the south of the empire who tried to rebel would tear up their allegiance agreement with the royal family without scruples. As for the Empress, they do not have the loyalty of their courtiers to the sovereign, but like the creditors in a commercial contract, the Empress is a charter woman and they are merchants who set up shop on the Empress's territory, and if the charter woman is not to their liking, then they should simply find a way to drive her away and become their own landlord.
"What seems to me to be a dead letter, but you have always kept it to it?"
Once upon a time, when the royal family of Yang Yan was little more than a lord ruling a small barren land, the canonization ceremony was completely different from what it is now, when the knight offered his sword to his loyal lord, and only when the lord leaned down and kissed the knight's forehead could he accept the other party's allegiance. Of course, if this ancient tradition had continued to this day, Elizabeth would have to do nothing every day, and go all day long to visit the nobles and nobles who had come from all over the country.
Although Elizabeth was not self-conscious, in fact, she had just successfully completed a traditional canonization ceremony, and the dagger that Fogg stabbed at her was like a knight's sword, and when she kissed Fogg's forehead, she seemed to say to Fogg when she kissed her forehead:
"Even though you will kill me and rebel against me, I will not change my original intentions, and I accept your allegiance, my dear knight. ”
Opinion MAX.
In Fogg's eyes, Elizabeth seemed to have suddenly changed from a charter woman who didn't care about anything to Her Majesty the Empress who sacrificed her life and honor to protect her.
"Son, for whom will your sword be wielded?"
Before his father died, he asked Fogg, who was only ten years old.
"Wielding a sword for the weak, for the suffering of the world, father, this is my knightly way!"
It's just a child who hasn't grown all the hair, and Fogg answered his father with a full answer.
"Is that so......?
Without a positive answer, his father shook his head and smiled, and passed away. But the untimely earl could hardly have imagined that his children would later live up to what he had said, delegating the administration of his domain to a city council composed of commoners, minimizing taxes in the county, and setting up factories to house homeless wanderers. When he heard that the war in the north was tight, he volunteered to go to the north to join the army and made great achievements. He doesn't go to high-society gatherings, but he likes to hang out with merchants and adventurers, and whenever someone asks for his help, he'll be generous enough to follow.
However, such a good old man, the more lonely he becomes, the more he comes into contact with more things, he will find that there is almost endless darkness in this world, no matter how hard he tries, it seems that there are always some people who he can only watch to suffer and cannot save. For example, the veterans who responded to his call to fight in the north together, returned to their homeland after several years of war, and instead of being treated like heroes with the blood of countless enemies on their hands, they were regarded as monsters and aliens.
Who likes to deal with a butcher who has a dozen lives on his hands? They can't let go even after the war is over, and they are likely to be nervous and hurt people because of a trivial matter, even if it's because they're fighting on the front line? A madman is a madman, and who cares how much sacrifice you've made for us before?
Eventually, Fogg blamed the original system of the empire. If it weren't for the fact that so many corrupt officials and moth-like aristocrats were dragging their feet, the war in the north would have subsided long ago, and although the people of their own territory were living happily, what about the people living elsewhere?
If there was a little hesitation in his previous self, after experiencing something like that in the Kabbalah Tree of Life, Fogg's originally weak heart became as solid as steel, and the sacrifice of a few people was inevitable, and the man who seemed to be a demon kept injecting such ideas into Fogg's brain, and in the end, he successfully hypnotized himself, from a good person with a little bit of a second disease, into a warrior of love who would do whatever it took to achieve his ideal world.
"If you keep staring like this, I'll be embarrassed to ......."
Squirming as she looked at Fogg, who was staring at her with a burning gaze, Elizabeth felt a little uncomfortable.
"It turns out that in this world, not everyone is driven by reason......
She is already a victor, but she sends herself to the enemy to be killed, should she be said to be stupid? Or is she cute?
Save the weak.
Since you dare to say such a big thing, what do you care about so many rational things, the girl in front of you is clearly a weak person, if you kill her for some so-called righteousness, what has she been wielding her sword all along?
At this moment, Elizabeth coincided with those who wanted to save in Fogg's dream, since it was a dream, it should be greedy, if you can only choose one of the two, break the so-called rules and find a way to save everyone!
