Chapter 280: Clues
"How's it going, what I commanded. ”
Picking up a cherry with two fingers and putting it in her mouth, the sweet and sour taste and the fragrance of fruit swirling on the tip of her tongue, Charlotte lazily leaned back on the chaise longue next to the bed, enjoying the afternoon sun.
This is Charlotte's study, and although it is a study, it only contains a variety of novels and chronicles.
Albert replied on one knee.
"The formation of the escort team is very smooth, but the surrounding lords have not said anything, and it seems that they are waiting and seeing. ”
Hearing the knight's answer, Charlotte curled the corners of her mouth.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if they're watching or waiting for an opportunity to bite my throat. ”
The words of danger were spoken by Charlotte's sweet voice, which had a strange beauty.
"Whether it is a lord, a nobleman, or a royal family, they are all just human beings in the flesh, so they can always catch weaknesses. ”
Life, interests, rights, feelings, as long as you are a living person, you will never escape these shackles.
"So, do you need to send the militia members to regular training?"
Albert was referring to the plan that had been in place since the princess was transferred to the border city, namely the formation of the aforementioned convoy.
The formation of the convoy sounds like just an ordinary recruitment, but it is not.
Under Charlotte's orders, a specially formed propaganda team worked non-stop to recruit troops in various border cities, not for professional soldiers, but for civilians who were oppressed or who were not living well.
Because the border is the least legally binding zone, there are many such civilians unexpectedly.
Albert was very puzzled by the princess's actions, the militia is indeed easier to recruit, and the number is much larger, but what is the use of the militia? Not to mention the low combat effectiveness, the large number also means a sudden increase in the cost of the army, which is said to be beneficial to the army, and it is a disaster at all.
Not only Albert, but even the surrounding nobles are laughing at Charlotte, ridiculing Charlotte as a little princess raised in the palace, ignorant of the world but daydreaming beyond her strength.
But is that really the case?
Albert didn't know the princess's intentions, but he was sure that the princess definitely had a corresponding reason for doing this, because it was Princess Charlotte.
"Go down, remember to get the task force to step up their propaganda efforts and get more civilians to join my convoy. ”
"Yes. ”
When the knight exited the room, Charlotte smiled, a twisted smile full of malice that would never be shown in the presence of others, just to see it would make people feel like they were being targeted by a poisonous snake.
Just after Charlotte was exiled, Heberis's Ann Surged up.
Under the impetus of some of the great nobles, the succession of the royal family of Heberis began, and the change of power means the change of the composition of the national power, so there will be corresponding instability, which is especially obvious in the nobles holding heavy power in Heberis.
That's a good thing for Charlotte, though.
The exiled Charlotte lost the qualifications and conditions to compete for the throne, but that kind of thing didn't matter, and Charlotte didn't plan to seize the throne by normal means.
"After that, I'll take care of the guards. ”
Picking up a cherry again and putting it in her mouth, Charlotte's eyes looked out the window, through which she could see the fence of the yard, and farther away was the bustling street, where all kinds of people were busy.
People can become power, and the use of the inside is not only a head-to-head competition, it is precisely because it is originally ordinary people that there is room for the escort team to play.
――――[Dividing Line]――――
Exiting the princess's study, Albert exhaled, even though the princess's knight ...... No, it was because of being a knight of the princess that Albert knew better than anyone how terrible Princess Charlotte was.
Knowing how terrible the princess is, and knowing the benefits that the princess can bring to herself, Albert will unswervingly stand on the princess's side.
Walking through the corridor, the soldier guarding the door bowed to him, and Albert smiled back.
"Good work. ”
The soldier who was being condoled had an excited smile on his face, which made Albert very useful.
Albert was born in a civilian family, and because of this, Albert was still looked down upon by the people around him even though he had outstanding talent when he was a child, which made Albert very angry and unwilling, obviously he was more capable, obviously he was more talented, but he was despised by others because of his birth.
It wasn't until Albert met Princess Charlotte by chance that it was that day that Albert knew what it was like to be a person who really had power and status, which was a more dazzling existence than the nobles and officials in his hometown, just at a glance, Albert was fascinated by the power that can affect life and death with every gesture.
It is for this reason that Albert vows that he will climb to a higher position than others, and that he will use the facts to make those who once despised him pay, no matter what dirty means are used.
"Oh, look at this handsome guy with a disgusting expression, isn't that our esteemed Mr. Knight. ”
A flirtatious voice came from the next corner.
Albert frowned.
"What are you doing here, Lisa Wildman. ”
A tall and graceful woman walked out of the corner, about the age of twenty years old, energetic and bewitching beauty, wheat-colored skin with brown curly hair and highly exposed leather armor, making her look a kind of wild beauty, but as long as she saw this woman's eyes, any whisper would fade in an instant.
Lisa Wildman has a very special pair of eyes, and the emerald eyes are not like ordinary people, but emit a terrifying green shimmer.
"I'm here to report the progress of the work to the little princess, but I happened to see you smiling disgustingly, so I came up to talk to you. ”
Smiling, Lisa's eyes flashed.
"It's disgusting. ”
"Lisa Wildman!!"
Albert roared.
"Find out who you are, filthy lackey, you're talking to the princess's knight right now!"
Albert's roar didn't startle Lisa at all, and she pretended to tremble.
"It's amazing, the knight of the little princess~. ”
However, Lisa's trembling appearance lasted less than a minute before it changed to a mocking expression.
"Don't tease you, I'll go find the little princess first. ”
With that, Lisa turned and left.
After Lisa leaves, Albert grits his teeth.
- Lisa Wildman, one day I'll make you pay for today!, Albert turned around in disgust. (To be continued.) )
