Thinking this to himself, William got out of the carriage, and then looked at the door, where a very beautiful girl dressed as a Victorian maid stood at the door, and when William arrived, she smiled and saluted him: "Your Majesty William, von Hereford, please come in, the Duke is waiting for you." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"......," William looked at her with a little unpleasantness. Of course, in the end he didn't say anything - he had thought that at least at least, Her Majesty would come out to meet him in person.

Even if the balance of strength between the two sides has changed. Even if the other party is the so-called "other queen". Briton is now the de facto ruler, but in any case, he Wilhelm von Hereford was king. It's the king.

He has a title of king, nay, rather, recognized by all three nations of the human world. Whether it is the new title of the Kingdom of Bolotsk, the title of the Kingdom of Russia, or the title of the Kingdom of Wende, it is higher than the title of Duke of Normandy of the other party.

In this case, according to the rules and etiquette of the court, she should show due respect to herself.

But now it looks like the guy is getting a little carried away. If you don't even understand the most basic rules, then this guy's empire and hegemony will definitely not be able to last for a long time.

Thinking so in his heart, William's heart was somewhat balanced.

He snorted softly, and then walked into the palace with a few sweet-looking maids. This palace is exquisitely decorated and has a sense of understated luxury throughout. William couldn't help but want to sigh.

In a sense, the enemy is really stronger than oneself -- this strength does not mean the overall national strength, nor does it mean anything else, but their taste, their connotation, or their heritage.

Although very powerful and borrowed from the meaning of the Gothic nation, the Russian-Gothic Empire was still a young and nascent empire. And Wilhelm von Hereford has to be said to be a newcomer to the rulers.

Focusing too much on hard power has indeed made its empire very strong. Both in terms of the number of troops and their combat effectiveness. Whether it is the degree of development of industry or commerce. Whether it's cities or agriculture, everything is thriving. In addition, the National Education Index, scientific research strength and other factors are also very outstanding. The country controlled by the Hereford family is, in every sense of the word, a powerful country.

"But the culture and the arts, as well as the heritage...... After all, it's still a little bit worse. William thought to himself.

It's like these works of art, these decorations, these architectural applications, interior design. William felt that no one in the Empire, not just him, could do as well as the Britons.

"But it's also a matter of course. William thought to himself: "The most important thing in an empire is survival, and the most important thing is development." After ensuring survival and development, the empire needs to grow and grow. After ensuring the development and growth, we can further ensure that our life is better, first material, and then spiritual. This is very important. ”

Thinking of this, William secretly made up his mind to send it out when he returned to the country - now he was not only the supreme lord of the Great Frontier Region, but also a guest commentator for his official newspaper. In order to make the official mouthpiece of the empire clearer, in order to make the people of the empire more aware of their opinions, spirits and thoughts. William will work very hard to write the truth in a simple and understandable way, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Yes, these newspapers, these official media, or ordinary people don't see them. But those who have a little bit of money will find a way to get one. In addition, in every village, in every town, in every college and university. There will be special personnel to come to the door, in the spare time of farming and work breaks, and organize everyone to read newspapers during recess.

It is in this way that William's will is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is also in this way that he encourages his people little by little, so that his people can understand themselves, and make their thinking more progressive and closer to themselves.

Yes, perhaps the illiterate peasants, the near-illiterate workers, the illiterate poor people of the lower classes could not understand so many truths for the time being, but the bourgeoisie of the burghers, and more importantly, the young students, were easily instigated, infected, and ideologically transformed.

Because of this, the number of Wilhelm's supporters is constantly increasing. And William's authority and prestige within the empire were also increasing. A lot of times it's not that if you do something good, others will know about it. Many times you have to say all this plainly -- just like Comrade Lei Feng takes a cameraman with him every time he goes out.

Thinking in his heart, William was somewhat balanced—if the wealth was most evenly distributed among all countries today. And the country with the highest rate of popular satisfaction must be the Gothic Empire in Russia under the control of William.

Not to mention the declining countries of the continent, even in the Briton Empire, where the working class is entirely proletarian, living no different from garbage. The rise and fall of workers' movements in various places, such as the Luddite movement that destroyed machinery, as well as some unorganized workers' strikes, workers' uprisings, etc., are all in Wilhelm's eyes.

In contrast to the chaos of the nations, the empire under William's control was undisturbed, as quiet as the waters of the Pacific Ocean that Magellan had seen when he first entered. This is also the thing that William is most proud of and proud of.

After a long, layered, slightly dim, slippery path through the hallway, William was taken to the end of the hallway, which looked like a study, and possibly an office. Of course, it's more likely to be a study plus an office...... All in all, it's such a place.

"Please come in, the master is waiting for you inside. The maid who led the way smiled and said respectfully. And her attitude made William feel even more unhappy - even if she didn't greet her at the door, but at least she should have greeted her at the door of the room now, right? But she was the king! And what does that mean now?!Let yourself in? Could it be that this bastard thinks of herself as her subordinate? Is she going to meet some emperor? To meet her own monarch? What is she thinking?!

"Calm down. William forced himself to calm down: "Maybe this guy has some kind of conspiracy." Maybe this guy just wants me to lose my mind and do something. I can't be fooled. Thinking so in his heart, William forcibly suppressed his anger. Then he "personally" pushed open the door. Walked in.

Then he saw "Victoria".

Calm, confident, with a gentle smile, the proud "Victoria" like a queen, Victoria in fine clothes, Victoria with a crown, Victoria de Normandy who looks more mature, more sensible, more wise, and more difficult to deal with.

"You're finally here, William. She smiled at William, and said something like this, a smile that William had never seen in his life, and he couldn't help but be in a trance, and could hardly help but be attracted by the beauty—but then he came back to his senses.

"You're not Victoria!" William shouted abruptly—

Yes, although very similar, very similar - and William and Victoria have not seen each other for a long time, perhaps the other has changed a lot - but, William assures, she is by no means Victoria.

More mature and sexier than Victoria. More relaxed and more indifferent. It's like an upgraded and enhanced version of Victoria.

Perhaps in a few years, when Victoria's age is reached, her appearance and figure will be modified to this extent. But William wasn't sure, her temperament could too.

Someone like this can see her power, her strength, her wisdom, her arrogance and her arrogance just by looking at her. This is exactly what Victoria tried her best to show, but couldn't achieve.

Small, slightly, a little. William was blown away by this woman, by this woman he had met for the first time.

"She should be related to Victoria. So, is it her sister, is it her mother? William immediately made this judgment - the reason is very simple, if it were his sister, then the Normandy family, with such good and brilliant talents, would never push the immature Victoria out as their ruler and chief.

So it should be the mother. Because my mother, no matter how good she is, is also a married person, and she does not belong to this family. So there is no possibility of obtaining the head of the House of Normandy.

"But why ......" William was a little strange. Why is Victoria's mother here, she looks very calm, it doesn't look like a casual chance encounter. And such a character, William didn't think that the other party would ask him to meet him for no reason because of a whim.

"So, what is her purpose?" William was secretly wary in his heart.

If force were to be used, he would not have failed in any case. But if the negotiation technique is used, then he thinks to himself that this woman is not easy to deal with.

“......”

That is, while William was secretly doubting in his heart, thinking hard, hoping to get an answer, the woman opposite smiled: "Really, I haven't seen you for a long time, William...... No, from your subjective point of view, we should be meeting for the first time, right? So, for the first time, William, my name is Maria. Maria de Hereford Normandy. It's your mother. ”
