The Mughal Empire is now in turmoil, the east is pressing, the number is small, but the fighting strength of the Briton expeditionary force is amazing, and the west is the dominant, ambitious and ambitious Nader Shah, who seems to have given up on the struggle with William, the Russian-Gothic Empire for the Zoroastrian Empire. The www.biquge.info seems to be preparing to follow the example of their Mughal ancestors and establish a new Crescent empire in Indy.

At the same time, in the south, the combat power is not too high, but the unimaginably large number of Maratha federations is rising. A large number of princely kings joined them. It seems that these guys will soon be able to form a new, Hindian empire.

All this information was passed on by the dedicated Cheka agents and put on William's desk. After seeing this information, William sighed slightly. At the same time, a little lost.

Naturally, Victoria sighed, this child was very motivated after being educated by William before, and now it seems that his ability and strength have been greatly improved. If this guy continues to grow. And if he grabs nourishment in the war in the Indic subcontinent, then he must be William's great enemy in the future.

Lost, naturally, this gluttonous feast could not participate.

Ahhh Originally, the purpose of this expedition was to gain control of India and turn that continent into his own colony.

It's just that now it looks like it's completely not going to work. Not for now, at least.

It will take at least two years, if not more, to sort out the mess between the Zoroastrian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. And two years was enough time for Victoria's expeditionary force to gain enough advantages in Indy.

"In other words, I can only give up the plan to colonize Indy for the time being. What a pity. William muttered. But at the same time, I think it's kind of funny -- if, of course, just if. If the Bretons had acquired all of Indi, they would have swelled into the most powerful and almost formidable empire in the world. After this, William destroyed them. Naturally, you will feel more accomplished.

Well, I think it's even more interesting.

"Ahaha...... I've added a little bit of bad intentions, too. William thought so in his heart, and then, he felt a little sad.

Come to think of it, I'm about to turn 30. In this era when fourteen-year-old junior high school students are the main force to save the world, and the magical girl army composed of elementary school students and young girls is the trump card combat force, it is difficult for the thirty-year-old self to be a supporting role. Most of them are the kind of guys who are regarded as villains and are eventually overturned. Or as an elder, give some life experience to elementary school students, and finally retire in order to cover those guys, plus be killed by the plot in order to add some tragic elements or something.

It's still tragic to think about.

But now it's completely fine. The mainstream of this world is hegemony.

Although there are occasional battles for hegemony in the flow of novels, the hard fortress of the young female emperor or something, and then with the assistance of the male protagonist, he won the victory or something...... Although, according to William's mind, that kind of thing is completely illogical.

Of course, having said that, if at the beginning of William's crossing, he was asked to assist a very cute tsundere young emperor or something, he might have been very happy.

Of course, this is only the beginning of the crossing - it would be completely different if it were now. The terrible emperor who has completed the great cause of the empire will not do anything messy just because a tsundere girl is very cute. It's like this.

The reason why he said so much was precisely because William did have a young daughter in front of him - and, of course, the mother of the young girl.

Former Duchess of Tyrol. At the same time, she was also the daughter of His Majesty, the former emperor of the Ostrogothic Empire. One of the direct members of the Swabian family. A dignified and virtuous woman, a good-looking, plump figure of the deceased.

Of course, none of this is the point, the point is that she was once engaged to William's father.

Yes, yes, yes, just then, when her father, Kalman IV, stirred up the storm and almost completed the unification of the entire empire, and then resisted Briton in the east and the Hereford family in the west.

William made a deal with Kalman IV. Sold his father.

William clearly remembers that his father was very unhappy and lost his temper at that time. It was he who talked badly, and finally coaxed his father and reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

It's a little funny to say. Usually, such roles are reversed. It was the father who made his son politically married for his own benefit.

But here at Hereford, the roles are completely reversed.

Of course, that's not the point.

William's original intention was to preserve the Swabian family's presence in the southern part of the empire, so that the family could continue to attract the attention of the Britons and make a fortune himself.

But plans can't keep up with the rapid changes. Or if the Kingdom of Briton is determined to do something, even William will not be able to organize them.

William's plan ultimately failed. The Britons divided up a large area of territory that had belonged to the Swabian family. Two new states were eventually formed. Bohemia in the north, and Austria in the south. Awarded to their Fox Friends and Dog Party respectively.

The fate of the Swabian family was tragic.

Despite the rule among the nobility, the Britons did not dare to slaughter this famous noble family.

However, the family that has lost all its territory will naturally decline.

After the death of Kalman IV, the Swabian family had no one to support the overall situation, and those relatives fell into the trap and embezzled much of the land and property belonging to the Swabian family, which was tacitly connived and connived by the actual control of the local area, the Brittons. It is even said that there are some shadows of the Britons.

And the remaining members of the Swabian family also went their separate ways. Some people guarded the one-third of an acre of land in the countryside to survive, and some went to the courts of other Gothic countries as courtiers. There are even some guys who are quite brazen and want to take refuge in the Britons. It just didn't work out.

Because the identities of the two sides are very different. In addition, the bones of the principal of the year, that is, Kalman IV, were rotten. So the marriage contract of the year. That is, William's father and the Duchess of Tyrol - of course, now only titles, and land is not to be thought about -

The marriage contract between this lady is naturally gone.

William soon went on to get on with other things. I didn't care too much about what happened to this poor lady, what happened to her. His father, for his own reasons, didn't want to talk about it at all.

William always felt that this matter was mostly in the past. Hm. Hm. Shame for His Holiness or something. Maybe it will be vaguely mentioned in the history books in the future, and then say that the father and son of the Hereford family are bastards or something. However, William himself did not care about this.

For a proper ruler, talking is not entirely commonplace. Even if the occasional conversation doesn't count, it's not a problem at all.

However, I did not expect that the Duchess, and of course her very lovely young daughter, would appear in front of William for some unknown reason.

Think about it, when I heard the report from the guards that she was the Duchess of Tyrol, Teresa von Schwabia. William felt that if he looked in the mirror at that time, he would definitely see his very "weird" expression.

Hm. It's something that can't be helped. It's one thing to repent, and it is one thing to talk and not to speak. But meeting the person in person is another matter. Although he had cultivated enough to be thick-skinned, William still felt a little shy when he saw this lady.

Of course, only a little.

William looked at the lady with a smile, wondering why she was here and what her purpose was. Who was behind her to support her? Could there be some conspiracy...... And so on and so forth. At the same time, he smiled gently and asked her.

The other party's expression was sad - of course, William felt that any woman who had been forced to do this by life would not be too happy -

"I just, wanted to ask. She looked at William solemnly, and then said, "About the little woman and ...... Does the marriage contract between Prince Otto still exist, and does it count exactly?"

This question made William feel very, or very embarrassed. But before William could say something ambiguous, the other party went on again:

"If the Hereford family is because of ...... If you refuse to marry the Swabian family, can you ask Your Majesty to make a statement?"

"This ......" William was a little embarrassed. Regardless of why this guy said that, the proposal itself had great malice towards the Hereford family.

If it doesn't matter or something, even if someone wants to dwell on this matter, saying that the Hereford family's words don't count or anything, William will try his best to keep his mouth shut. But if a public statement of remorse is made, it will be quite a blow to the prestige of the Hereford family.

Whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, he will not have a good impression of this kind of guy who does not talk much.

"So, your proposal is a bit difficult. William shook his head and smiled bitterly. He could see that this lady was stronger than the average woman. But it is absolutely impossible to force such a behemoth as the Hereford family so simply.

If the Hereford family is angered, it will not do them any good.

"Yes, I know that too, but ......" the other party looked a little embarrassed when he heard William say this.

William had wanted to ask her what was going on, the specifics, and so on. But after thinking about it for a while, I don't think it's interesting to ask about this kind of thing now.

"So be it, ma'am. William said, "Please stay first." I will find out about the current situation and give Madame a satisfactory answer. ”

Although it can be seen that the other party does not believe what William said. But in this case, the other side seems to have no better way. So she bowed deeply and said to William, "Then I will leave it all to you, Your Majesty." Then he obediently followed the servant and departed. William was left alone, there thoughtfully.
