"I—what can I say? I'm just a wretched, poor prince of the country kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info is a poor worm whose life is being targeted by someone who doesn't know. To this day, I don't know who my true enemy is. I was kept in the dark and looked like a clown. William shrugged.

"Your true enemies are, of course, the enemies of those empires. Franz replied categorically: "We have the same enemy, His Highness Wilhelm." We-"

"-I didn't say it, I believe you. William interrupted the fellow again, and then said, "Again, you think I'm a fool to deceive." If you say a little bit about this and that, I'll immediately abandon my position and my current allies and join the enemy camp? ”

"......" Franz did not know for a moment what to say when Wilhelm said this—in fact the old soldier was now very angry—and he had a strong feeling that he had been fooled.

If William is an ordinary person, or even William is just an ordinary "prince". Then Franz will definitely turn his face with him in the shortest possible time, and then draw his sword to duel him.

It just doesn't.

Yes, no. Because his master, the great Emperor Khalman IV, still needed William, and they needed his support, 100,000 troops and 3 million people, as well as two of the best commanders in the world, to get the most out of his country. Defend their Swabian crown, and all other wealth. Therefore, Franz can only continue to negotiate with William and lose all his face, in the hope that William can raise his noble hand......

It's just that Franz also knows that blind weakness will not work, and you can only let the other party look down on you for no reason. So he came out dissatisfied, frowned, and confronted William, "Is that what you mean?"

"No, no, no," William smiled, "I mean, before we talk about the next issue, the so-called cooperation." Shouldn't we have studied the previous questions properly?

His Majesty the Emperor is sorry for me, but this is not the only place. ”

"I don't understand what you mean. ”

"You're not right. William's eyes narrowed, and for a moment, Franz felt a great threat coming, as if he were naked in the ice and snow of the polar regions, facing the most dangerous wolves.

"He wanted to marry his daughter to my father. What does he mean? You come up and dodge the important, and then play stupid like something. Do you think it's a casual and casual thing to say a couple of words, let's say haha, 'Ah, that's it, hahaha...... and then the matter will be settled?"

When it came to this, William's momentum rose to the maximum. He stared at Franz as if he were about to draw his sword and impale the bastard in the next moment.

And after hearing William ask this, Franz also sighed secretly - different from the argument just now that he did not do it.

This time, Franz couldn't just fool around when he wanted to marry King Otto. Because it's already happened. It's impossible to cheat. Therefore, Franz could only smile bitterly - to be honest, he also knew that the marriage of King Otto was the biggest stumbling block for the Swabian family to cooperate with William.

He didn't say a word about it before, and he didn't have a fluke mentality of casually fooling this matter into the past. It's just a pity that the luck psychology or something is really unreliable. William eventually spoke up about the problem. And it was said with such a resolute, even cold-blooded attitude.

In this case, Franz knew that if he did not answer well, his plan for this mission would be completely declared a failure. William will fall once and for all to their enemies. Together, the Russian kingdom will fall to their enemies. This is something that Franz did not want to see anyway.

He kept thinking in his head, constantly thinking about how to answer William in this matter. Several proposals were formed in his mind, and then quickly eliminated...... After thinking about it a few times and finding that there was no good reason to convince William, Franz was very emotional.

As a close confidant of Kalman IV. Or the contemptuous name of the enemies of Kalman IV, the most loyal dog of Kalman IV. Franz's way of nature, what Kalman IV had in mind.

In fact, the reason why he decided to marry King Otto was also made after constant weighing.

As a bystander, Franz also believed that this choice of Kalman IV was wrong. But there was nothing he could do.

After completing the reunification of the empire, Kalman IV was ambitious and felt that no one was as great as himself. In addition to this, Kalman IV is getting old, and the elder Kalman still has a lot to do, so he is becoming more and more impatient and impatient......

William's swaying from side to side and hooking up with Britton's little girl might have been laughed off by Kalman IV twenty years ago. But not now, Kalman IV could not stand it.

William miscalculated the cautiousness of an old emperor...... What he originally imagined was a king's bearing, and what a big belly could accommodate, all of which did not appear. Kalman IV in middle and old age did not look like Li Shimin or Zhao Kuangyin, but more like Liu Bang or Zhu Yuanzhang.

This bad psychology has led to a bad end -- his thinking is basically like this -- Russia is very important -- he needs to master Russia -- the heirs of Russia are not very obedient -- then another obedient one will go up.

Simple, brutal, and effective – if it succeeds.

Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful, and Wilhelm escaped a mortal blow, although Franz kept insisting that it was sabotage by the class enemy and that the group of Assassins had not been sent by the Emperor. But William was noncommittal. Or maybe a little hehe.

It didn't work out. And the current situation did not allow Kalman IV to take any more measures or actions against William. Now even an illiterate old lady in the most remote corner of the empire knew that he wanted to assassinate William and then pave the way for his grandson, who had not yet been born.

If nothing else, this incident alone was enough to make Kalman IV the laughing stock of high society, and even a ten-strong legacy - yes, conspiracy and assassination for the sake of family succession were commonplace in aristocratic circles. But like Kalman IV, for the sake of a "unborn" grandson, he has to send a large army to assassinate, and even worse, he is a special failed guy, such a big place in the world, so many countries, tens of thousands of nobles, I am afraid he is also the only one.

Of course, Kalman IV's assassination of William was not just to pave the way for his grandson - and even the most unreliable of Kalman IV's motives - he killed William more because of William's ambiguous diplomatic tendencies and his proximity to the Britons. Kalman IV feared that William would affect Russia's diplomatic attitude.

The second, secondary, was Kalman IV's desire to weaken Russia.

Although there are various reasons and explanations, to put it simply, why Russia and the Hereford family have become so strong can all be attributed to one reason, and that is William's efforts.

William created this miracle, and William created one of the most powerful kingdoms in the world. William opens a new army mode. William was one of the most prominent young people of his time.

To kill William is to kill the future of the Russian Kingdom and the Hereford family.

As soon as he thought of this, Kalman IV was a little excited...... Or even say excited.

From the rapid rise of Russia, Kalman IV sensed danger. He was afraid, even said fearful. He understood that this family, which was growing rapidly, had a good chance of becoming a formidable rival for the Swabian family in the emperor's race. He wants to be able to prevent problems before they happen......

It's just that......

Failed.

Since it failed, there is nothing more to say.

Thinking of this, Franz came back to his senses and looked at William very seriously. He was thinking about whether he would be able to kill William in an instant if he suddenly broke out at this time and drew his sword and stabbed...... Soon, though, he gave up on the idea.

For he saw William's hand, which was gripping the hilt of the sword, neither light nor heavy, and at the same time pressed a little towards the abdomen. This meant that William could draw his sword as quickly as he could at any time.

To make matters worse, there is evidence that William inherited the Heriford family's superb talent for swordsmanship.

Franz had fought against William's father, Duke Otto. At that time, others were middle-aged, when they were at the peak of their skills and strength, and William's father, like William, was a young man of many years. Despite some fame, it is definitely not as good as Franz......

Then, the results of the competition were unforgettable for Franz for the rest of his life.

Even if he tried his best, he was by no means Otto's opponent...... At that time, Otto didn't have as many fancy intestines as William, he was purely a stunned young man. So I didn't think about the other party's identity and status at all, and it would be very troublesome if I defeated him, so I just went all out......

And then it won.

Even after 20 years, Franz clearly remembers what Otto's expression was like after defeating him.

It was a mixture of surprise (eh, why are you so weak) and abruptness (oh, I'm so strong).

At the thought of the young man's hateful expression, Franz lost the mind to do anything for a moment.
