After only a slight delay, the two men who had set out from the Knights of the Sacred Tree were already standing in the throne hall, and Anson Marchelus, who had sat on the throne for the first time in his life, held up the sword given to him by his father and lightly tapped it on their shoulders.

In the custom of the people of Turin, the commander of the army who went out had the privilege of sitting on the throne for a day - a custom that originated in the days of the ancient city-states, in order to ensure that the commander of the army at that time would not be constrained by the nobles in the rear, and the system of "one-day monarch" appeared, and the commander had the power to surpass that of the king in a whole day, and had absolute power over life and death of any Turine, and was even entitled to demand that all Turinese surrender all their wealth as military resources for the army.

In that wild ancient city, which was the fire of oriental civilization, it was precisely by relying on these seemingly "unreasonable" laws and customs that it survived the threat of extinction again and again, and waited for the conquerors from the west to become their real lords and completely rule half of the eastern world!

Naturally, such a custom had long since been a non-existent in the years of the reign of the House of Marcherus - no commander or knight had the audacity to ask His Majesty the King to give up his seat for a day, and His Majesty Horace would once again apply such an ancient law for the sole purpose of establishing Anson's prestige and making it clear to all that he supported his son.

Immediately after the official oath-taking, Anson was thrilled to make Greene Turn's chief lieutenant general and commander of the First Army, while Edward Witwood was the chief flag officer, second only to Greene Turn.

Both of them were Anson's deputies, but their status was slightly different - if there was no direct intervention of Anson, Greene Turn's would be the leader of the entire army, and Edward's main job should be to be responsible for logistics and supervise the military system, and there was no direct jurisdiction.

Edward was quite pleased with the result—and sure enough, the man whom His Majesty Horace had chosen from the beginning. It's just Greene Turn, not himself, which is actually normal, but if you were faced with such a choice, would you decide Marco Tasker or Ludwig Dorian?

The identity of a chief flag officer is enough, not to mention that he didn't intend to get the power of this army from the beginning, and the real target is the battle flag army that is about to be disbanded, and that is where he made his fortune.

Not to mention. Now that he is the Knight Captain of the Knights of the Sacred Tree - fourteen Knights of the Sacred Tree, twenty-five squire cavalry and fifty sergeants, such a heavy cavalry team has added enough chips for itself to worry about how much exclusion there is, on the contrary, if Green Turn, if he appears directly next to the little prince without even a title, he may not even have the right to speak as a flag commander.

But it turned out to be the best of things - for His Majesty Horace, Edward Witwood, who had the support of the majority, had a sufficient weight in the army, and Greene, who was forced to become the de facto commander of the legion, could be a perfect balance.

Stability and balance are the most important places to rule!

"Do you regret it - if it weren't for me, you would be the candidate for His Highness Anson's chief lieutenant. Coming out of the palace gates, Greene Turn, in a somewhat teasing tone, approached Edward, "I heard His Majesty Horace mention this matter - you offered to let me take your place." ”

"Because you're the most suitable one, the commander of the Guards Corps. Surely more qualified than a mere knight of the sacred tree, His Highness Anson needs an experienced commander like you more than a knight who only knows how to kill. Jokingly, Edward shook his head, "I just did what I was supposed to do." ”

"Perhaps, but ...... I have to thank you anyway, I didn't expect you to remember me. Standing in place, Green did not have the pleasant face just now, but had an extremely cold expression: "But this does not mean that I like the sympathy of others - I don't want such cheap things!"

"I'm a descendant of the Turnnes, my ancestors weren't cowards, and I won't!" Green's expression looked a little pale. There was nothing under the empty cloak, and the expression on his face was as complicated as ever: "I thank you for not forgetting me." Edward Wetwood, but if you just pity me...... Pity me for being a cripple, so much is not necessary, I will unswervingly follow the path I choose. ”

"Then what do you want me to do to watch a 'knight' die? Tell that Greene Turn: Hey my dear friend, let's go and save the world together, the Radiant Cross is calling us?"

"I thought you were a very realistic guy, did you just break an arm and make you a fool who didn't even have long eyes? Or did you just pretend to be a very good city? Idiots who actually don't understand anything?!"

Edward didn't even have the slightest emotion, and looked at Green Turn, whose cheeks were blue and white, except for sarcasm and sarcasm: "If you think I'm just trying to comfort you, cripple, or to pity you—according to you, you can go back to your manor and stay, Hantu doesn't need such a hypocritical guy as you!"

After saying that, Edward, who sneered, turned around and walked outside, not even thinking of turning back - he could actually understand how complicated Greene Turn's mood was now, but it was one thing to understand, and it was another to be able to solve it.

If the severed arm made Green lose his pride, then the sudden title of chief lieutenant became a "treasure" that suddenly restored his dignity - but if he was told that this title was given to him by another person, it would inevitably plant a seed in this guy's heart, a seed of mustard.

Fragile and powerful - this is now Green Turn, and if he never gets out of this strange circle, it may not be long before this guy becomes exactly the same thing as the ones he once hated.

That's when the royal knight named Greene Turn, really fell.

"You don't mean what you say, do you?"

Before he could leave the palace, a childish voice suddenly stopped Edward's steps—the little princess Adele, who was staring at the big eyes, was holding her doll and standing in front of him with a look of slyness on her pink cheeks.

"May I ask a little more question, what are you talking about?" Edward whispered to the little princess, who was slightly older than Anson, with a smile on his face, "Maybe you can remind me a thing or two." ”

"That's what you just said to Greene Turn. The corners of the little princess's mouth curled up proudly: "You are trying to provoke him and let him duel with you, right?"

"I guess...... You're going to beat him and lose to him on purpose - you care about him so much that you just don't want to say it, but you're such a good guy with complicated brains!"

Inexplicably surprised!

The black pupils contracted suddenly, and Edward even instinctively raised his head. This scene fell in Adele's eyes, making the little princess smile even more happily.

"You're really...... It's amazing. Edward smiled, and there was even a little vanity in his smile...... For some reason, he suddenly thought of someone, but he couldn't think of anything.

"Nothing special, I just love to see your face. Hearing Edward's compliments, Adele, who had just been a little clever, suddenly became shy, her big eyes flickered to avoid his attention, and there was a modest look between her words: "I feel like Viscount Edward...... What a gentle man. ”

You can see what others are thinking at a glance, and you can also perceive the other person's character, humility and gentle words...... Edward knew who he had just remembered.

Horace Marcherus. (To be continued.) )

PS: Hmm...... In fact, this is Kongkong's fault, Princess Adele should have appeared a long time ago, but because of Anson, the scene was compressed, because Kongkong couldn't wait to let the Hantu chapter start, the battle for hegemony and war is what Kongkong is best at, this kind of conspiracy is too brain-burning, Kongkong's recent exhaustion can no longer explain the role of Jiawen, it should have been in the second volume, but it was forcibly suppressed by Kongkong to the third volume, for a similar reason, because the battle of Bright Star City was also the original content, which was advanced by Kongkong。

The outline has been changed beyond recognition.,Empty may have to re-write the outline of the Hantu chapter.,If you want the original spoiler.,Please ask for it in the post bar of this book (it's amazing.,There's a post in this book)
