Chapter 56: I don't want to think about it anymore
"......" Ivina looked at Sinampe coldly, "What do you mean?
"Yes. Sinampei nodded, "I think you should unilaterally declare the title of Duke of Chengsi." Stay in Capet...... Don't go back to the main island of Caledonia...... It's good for everyone. β
The Duchy of North was the birthplace of the royal family of Galedonia, and it was with the support of this land and King Capet that they crossed the channel to conquer the island...... And this land has always been the most important private property of the royal family of Caledonia, and it can even be said that there is no one. Because, in the first few monarchs of the Galedonian royal family, they didn't even speak Caledonian!
In the eyes of most of the Galedonian kings, Galedonia was just a poor and dilapidated island, and the Duchy of North was the land of anointing.
It was through the Duchy of North and other territories that the Capetian royal family had maintained a special relationship with the royal family of Caledonia for hundreds of years.
The Norse were not originally part of the Capetian people. They are other peoples who came from the north. When they came to Capet from the north, the king of Capet welcomed them...... In order to guard against bandits from the island of Caledonia who often swam across the strait to rob Capet, the royal family of Capet placed them on this land and made their leader a duke. However, after a long period of intermarriage, the Norse have merged into the Capetian people, and they are no longer separated from each other. On the opposite island of Caledonia, however, the situation was completely different, except for a group of nobles who were no different from the Capetians, but the commoners were very different from the Capetians...... Suffice it to say, although under the rule of the same family. But Evina's family territory belonged to two different countries, different peoples.
"When the Norse crossed the ocean to seek refuge in the kingdom of Capeut, the king accepted you, and you accepted the canonization of King Capetian as his subjects. Sinampei said to Ivina in a deep voice. "There is a sacred bond of responsibility between the two. You are the subjects of Capet. β
β...... It's useless for you to talk nonsense. "Also, you're right, we're Capet's subjects, so ...... We're just ...... Forget it, there's no point in saying this, Edward is dead anyway. β
"I'm sorry I reminded you of something sad, but I still want to say it...... All these words I have said are useful. Afterward. You have crossed to the island of Caledonia...... Conquered that land and established his rule over it...... But it wasn't Capet's land. Sinampe continued, "North and Caledonia are legally two countries, and although your rebel brother was crowned on the island of Caledonia and became the king of Caledonia, he was not recognized by King Cape, so. He is not the Duke of North! he can be recognized as King of Galedonia by the nobles of Galedonia, but not by the nobles of North...... So. If you want......"
"What if...... If I want to......" Ivina frowned.
"You're going to be recognized by Henry as the Duchess of North! β
β...... And then?" said Ivina.
"Then you don't have to go back and fight your brother...... There is no point in such a fight! You are brothers and sisters!"
"But my brother killed his brother. β
"And then you killed another brother for your brother, and then you killed the last brother of yourself......? If both of your brothers are dead, whose hands will the throne of Caledonia fall into? Although Caledonia does not explicitly stipulate a law that does not allow women to ascend the throne, there is also no precedent for women to ascend the throne, right?"
"......" Ivina didn't speak again this time.
"Your father is still alive...... Do you want him to continue to be sad? I think he is a mentally ill person who can't take things seriously, but ...... His ......"
Ivina waved her hand: "No need to say any more, I understand what you want to say." β
"......" Sinan Peijing waited for Ivina's next step.
"But what you want. Divide our family's territory once and for all, so that we are no longer a threat, right?" said Evina coldly.
Actually, I don't deny it. Because that's also one of my purposes. But don't you think about it for yourself?Do you have the ambition to dominate the world?" Si Nanpei continued to askβin fact, he had long felt that the girl in front of him was a person who didn't value power.
β...... No. Such things belong to my brother Edward, not me. I just followed his footsteps and helped him achieve his ideals. Ivina shook her head.
"What if...... If you get such a large territory, then all the troubles will come to you, some male nobles will yearn for the throne, some kings will be jealous of your country, and even you will not find a confidant to share the bed with in your life...... And this can all be avoided......" Sinampe gushed, "as long as you are satisfied with the title of Duchess of North and give up the vendetta against your brother, then ......"
"Don't go on, I suppose I can grant your request. Ivina interrupted Sinampei again.
However, Sinan Pei was not unhappy at all, on the contrary, his heart was happy at this moment. He had never imagined that he would be able to persuade Ivina so easily!
As long as she says yes, then ...... Just Boulogne, you can take it with a backhand. Capet's division is based on a delicate balance of power, and once the balance is broken, the fragile situation can be turned upside down.
Having re-digested the House of Valoa in the north, there is no doubt that it will once again return to the position of the Most High - perhaps, it would be more appropriate to call it the House of Auvergne in the future.
"Remember, however, that I granted your request, not for me personally, but for my soldiers. Ivina pointed back, and the soldiers behind her, although the array was still neat, but the tiredness on their faces could not be concealed.
"They don't want to fight anymore. (To be continued......)
