In the end, neither William nor the lady could convince anyone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At the same time, they also understood one thing, that is, if there is no accident, there is absolutely no way for the two sides to become friends, reach an agreement, and become allies. Because the philosophies of both sides are completely different.

In Maria's view, William's ideas were unrealistic, backward and decadent. He hoped that the Gothic peoples, who had become "different", would be reunited and a new empire would be formed.

And the idea of this lady of Mary was, in William's opinion, indeed a bastard and betrayal. The other side wants to completely split the entire Ostrogothic Empire, and even split the Visigoths in two. In this way, Briton will be able to become the most powerful country in the world. Through strength, alliances, and diplomacy to form a pan-continental alliance to achieve imperial hegemony.

The theories and ideas of the two people are completely at odds. At the same time, it is natural that the ideas and ideas of the two people will form a violent conflict. Because the premise of any person's success is the failure of another.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. The other party shook his head helplessly: "If I had known that this was the case, then no matter what, I and I must take you away from your stupid father." She shook her head and said. It was as if William's current disobedience and stubbornness were all due to Otto von Hereford, her de facto husband.

William chuckled at this. It doesn't make any sense. Even though the other party seems to care about his appearance very much, he looks very ...... The way it looks. But in fact, through some of the things she tells, and the more important "facts", William has roughly grasped the true idea of the matter.

Perhaps, some of the things she said before this were true. Perhaps she was indeed William's de facto mother. But this didn't make any sense to William. Because this man is a rational monster who is even more impersonal than he is. Moreover, his ideas are also completely different from his own "ideas".

In the tradition of the de Normandy family, she valued women more than men. This is also the reason why she was able to let William's father, Otto, take William away.

Of course, at this point, Otto is not really qualified to say such things. At least in William's memory, his father didn't mention that he had an older sister...... Or a sister's thing. And there was no intention of looking for her......

But that's pointless. After two people are sensible, it makes no sense. Two people with different educations, different values, different surnames simply cannot be reunited...... But William could at least find more reasons for his father.

For example, the poverty of the Hereford family and the power of the Normandy family. This was all an obstacle that prevented William's father from finding and even robbing William's sister, if Victoria was really William's sister, of course.

Not to mention, the terrifying power that the lady had just unleashed.

"It's like a monster, it's terrifying. William thought to himself, and at the same time felt a little ridiculous. Normally, it's him, the members of the Hereford family, who are treated like monsters, outrageously powerful. This time, it was someone else.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, feng shui takes turns, and today I come to my house. William felt a little bit like that in his heart.

But then, the guy shook his head as if laughing at himself: "Whatever, don't be kidding." What a bastard like yourself......"

All in all, William would never believe what this guy said, and she kept talking nonsense about what she cared about. This guy only appeared in front of him now, and only after he became a de facto emperor did he come forward and say all this is proof-

Think of yourself and her father living a barren life in a small rural castle in Mystia, while her de facto mother and her sister enjoy the most luxurious life in the world.

She ignored herself. She had never even cared for herself, she was indifferent to herself—even, William believed, she would not even have appeared before her if she had not become the supreme lord of the Russian-Gothic Empire, the Great Frontier Region-

It is only at this time that it appears, and as soon as it appears, it is said that it is said, and then it is necessary to express oneself and support oneself...... Even the most stupid guy should ask the strange question, "Is this a little too utilitarian?" Not to mention a sensitive-minded person like William.

"It's a son of a bitch. A good-looking bastard with great strength, power, and status. William had this in his heart of his de facto mother—perhaps her means, her abilities, and her city were far better than Victoria's. It could even be seen as an upgraded version of Victoria - but, in reality, her essence is no different from Victoria. The same spoiled, proud, crazy princess who thinks she is omnipotent.

Speaking of which, some people think that people who are not princesses think like princesses and think like princesses is a princess disease. And a princess thinks like a princess is just a princess - but, for William, there is no difference between the two. The most unhappy thing for him is these women with sick brains.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a need, he didn't even want to see them, he didn't want to have any dealings with them, and it was better to be strangers for the rest of his life.

"Actually, to be honest, I can't help but want to punch you. William thought so in his heart, and looked at the woman in front of him, who felt good about herself, and couldn't help but sigh.

Whether it's big or small, each one is not easy to handle, each one makes people feel angry, and each one loses so much money that he has with his own father.

"Of course, I actually have a tactic to play. At this point, as if confirming that she could not convince sincerity, Lady Mary smiled happily: "An empire built on the will of the individual will certainly make people admire his greatness and miracles. But at the same time, it's too fragile and too easy to destroy.

Just kill the core person, or make him unable to handle government affairs. ”

As she said this, she looked at William with ill will.

William knew what the other party meant, and killed himself, or imprisoned himself, just as Lionheart's enemies did against Richard. He was imprisoned in Hungary for more than a decade, if not longer. And the politics of England were thus thrown into disarray by his foolish younger brother, John, known as the King of the Landless.

"Is that so, you want to kill me?" asked William calmly. It's as if what he is discussing with the other party is not his own life and death, but another trivial matter that has nothing to do with him.

This light-hearted tone, this light-hearted attitude, the Lady Mary opposite Ang was surprised, as well as some appreciation.

She smiled happily and then said to William, "Of course, as long as I'm here for a day, I won't let anyone hurt you, after all, you are my child, and no one can change that...... However, if I invite you to Normandy, or simply to Briton for a while...... Maybe it's not too difficult. ”

The other smiled and said this—of course, "guest" or something, which was completely civilized and covert. William believes that hidden beneath the statement, house arrest, should be this.

"Yes, indeed. An emperor was placed under house arrest. It's exciting to think about it, right, it's like you've done something big. William said with a smile.

"Allah, how can you say that? Mom would be very sad to say that. "It's sad or something. But William didn't see the slightest sadness or any other emotion on her face—sure enough, it was a tacit acquiescence.

"A very good tactic, detain the monarch of the allied country who came to negotiate, and then force the other party to agree to his terms, otherwise he will not let go. This kind of barbarism is simply a bastard thing, and if you think about it a little, you can only do it. William said calmly sarcastically. But the other party remained indifferent. It seems that it is impossible to satirize the other party by relying on words alone, and finally ask the other party to soften and change their attitude.

What's more important is that the other party really has the consciousness and ability to do this kind of thing - just by virtue of her ability to stop William just now, it proves that she does have the ability to forcibly "invite" William to Normandy or Britton itself.

"yes, yes. That's true. William smiled and said, "This is indeed the best choice for you, for you, and for Britton." Although the face is a little bad...... But if done right, you can even manipulate my empire in some way.

In this way, the forces of the two states of Briton and the Russian-Gothic Empire were combined. There will be no one in the entire human world who is your opponent. The Briton mainland faction is impregnable. It's good, it's really good. Very good. Okay, even I can't help but want to applaud you - for your stupidity. ”

Lady Maria, who was originally smiling calmly, listening to William's words and smug, was a little embarrassed by his final turn.

"Do you think I can't do that?" the other questioned.

"Do you think I didn't expect you to do that?" asked William.

“......”

"Yes, I have thought about it a long time ago, and this time the Westphalian negotiations are very dangerous. Even if one is not careful, even I will encounter accidents. And because of this, I have a back hand. William smiled—or rather smirked—at the woman who claimed to be his mother. Seeing that her originally calm expression finally showed a flaw, he finally showed a happy smile:

"Yes, if you're not stupid, you should be able to understand what I mean. ”

"Your back hand...... "Soon, Lady Maria, who called herself William's mother, thought of the possibility that there was only one person in the Russian-Gothic Empire who was qualified to be Wilhelm's successor, and had enough prestige, enough ability, and enough status to take over all this, and to keep the Russian-Gothic Empire going on smoothly."

That is, William's father, the husband of the man who claimed to be William's mother, Otto von Hereford.
