The King of Knights in a Different World

"I see.

You must take good care of your body."

"I will."

With Louis waving goodbye, Mary and Dion got into the carriage together.

The carriage slowly left the city in the sight of everyone.

no.240 The same person in the eyes of different people

On the plains in the south of Britain, it was the harvest season at this time, and the farmers were harvesting their abundant crops, and the joy on their faces was beyond words.

On the main road leading to the royal city, a convoy of more than 400 people is slowly advancing. This convoy is the French envoy.

Originally there were 130 and 130 French nationals plus 300 and 300 escorts who came to Britain, a total of 430 and 430.

Except for a few dozens of servants, most of them are elite knights.

Considering that France sent Dion, St. George and Rungomignard discussed and sent Siegfried as the commander of the guards, and will report it.

So such a mixed team appeared.

As the leader of the Dragoons, Dion was actually very surprised by Siegfried's guards.

After all, no matter how you look at it, making him come here as a bodyguard is kind of like a waste of talent, especially when the report is a princess from an enemy country.

For Ziegfried, this is a mission, not unlike many that came before it.

His state of mind is very calm.

After walking without talking for a few days, they continued on the road in the early morning of another day.

However, at this time, she may have seen a lot along the way, and at the same time felt that what she saw was somewhat different from what she imagined. With a curious attitude, Mary opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Siegfried beside the carriage.

"What I saw and heard along the way was completely different from what I heard. This territory ruled by the Grand Duke of St. George gave people a sense of prosperity and stability.

Is there any key to it, General Sieg?"

Before coming here, Mary heard that most of the people in Britain are...the people are in dire straits, the king is self-willed, and then...people die almost every day, and everyone lives in fear.

But after coming here, she discovered that the people here seem to have no fear.

Not to mention soldiers, ordinary people have no fear at all.

Because of such doubts, she also had doubts about what other people told her before, that the life of the Britons was completely inferior to that of the French.

However, she doesn't know how her civilians are doing, and it's not easy to compare.

"Your Highness, this land is not the domain of Marshal Giorgios, or rather, the whole of Britain is the domain of the king.

In this land, the former nobles no longer have the autonomy of the land.

If Her Royal Highness wants to ask the key, maybe this is the key."

Siegfried corrected Mary's mistakes, and at the same time expressed his opinion.

"Hey! No!"

Facing Mary's doubts, Dion also slowed down his horse and gave an answer.

"Your Highness Mary, Britain has undergone the reform of the Knight King, and many privileges of nobles have been abolished.

This is different from France.

All officials in this land are appointed directly from the inner court of the King of Britain.

Although there are nobles in this country, they are more of a symbol of honor.

Just like Earl Siegfried in front of you, although he is only an earl, he has the power that many marquises would envy."

There are many generals like Siegfried in Britain, whose titles are not high, but they have real power.

And such a situation is hardly seen in France, not even in places like Roman Ross.

In these countries, titles equal status and power.

But in Britain, fame and status are actually separate from power.

"It all comes from the king's trust. I only have mediocrity to do my best to meet the king's expectations."

Siegfried said very modestly at this time.

"General Siegfried is too modest, that battle is enough to prove your ability."

Dion said with a smile.

He didn't take part in the previous war. When he heard about it, the French army was surrounded by the Rhine River, and the war ended quickly.

The most dazzling person in the battle is undoubtedly Lucifer, but Siegfried is also one of the main players in pursuit.

"Did General Siegfried also participate in the great war more than two years ago?"

Mary looked at Siegfried curiously.

War is too far away for her, and she is just listening to stories.

"Yes, I am a participant in the Xunji War.

I feel a little ashamed to say that, because of my carelessness in that battle, White Rock Fortress fell.

In the end, if the king hadn't arrived in time, I might not be alive now."

Faced with Siegfried's calmness, Dion was a little at a loss.

He felt like he had said something wrong.

For a while, I didn't know how to say it, after all, no matter how I looked at it, he was a little gloating now.

"..."

When Dion was silent, Mary spoke bluntly.

"I always feel that General Siegfried is too modest as a knight, it can even be said that he is too humble...

However, it is precisely because of this that General Siegfried is more of a knight."

"Compared to the king, as a knight, I am still far behind.

Previously, in a small town in Orleans, all the residents of the town were bewitched by evil people to burn a pair of innocent girls to death.

At that time, I almost believed them, thinking that the pair of sisters were the evil ones.

But the king saw through everything from the very beginning. Even if one person faced thousands of people, he still insisted on the knight's spirit and justice.

Compared with Wang, I still have a lot to learn."

Having said that, Siegfried has a guilty expression on his face.

Many times, he thought that if he didn't have Lucifer at that time, he might have made an irreparable mistake.

Siegfried's inadvertent words aroused Dion's interest.

"Orleans, sisters..., are you... the pair of sisters in the harem of the King of Britain?"

he asked tentatively.

As an upright knight, Siegfried didn't think it was rude.

He also satisfied the other party's curiosity.

"Yes."

After getting this answer, Mary's eyes lit up, and she continued to ask curiously.

"I heard that they were supposed to be French. Looking at it this way, can it be said that His Majesty the King of Knights actually doesn't hate them.

Frenchman"

In fact, it's not just Mary, in Dion's opinion, Lucifer should be a king like Pepin, who has a deep aversion to the enemy country.

"I cannot answer this question for Your Majesty.

If you were to ask me that, I would say yes.

Your Majesty doesn't hate it.

The French, or, in His Majesty's eyes, there is no essential difference between the French and the Britons.

They are all human beings, His Majesty's gaze has already surpassed us."

I didn't look at people from different countries with narrow eyes, and I didn't give special eyes to people from different countries.

Instead, he looked at everything with a kind of impartiality, which is what Siegfried admired most about Lucifer.

If not, the French in that small town would probably have been executed, instead of relying on the wages of building the fortress to rebuild their country.

After all, Joan of Arc is now a princess.

Of course, even in the town where Joan of Arc was born, Lucifer didn't give them any special attention, but treated them impartially like many other small towns.

"Sounds like a great king"

Mary murmured.

"That's the only thing I'm absolutely sure of."

"I was a little worried before, but after hearing Mr. Siegfried, the king whom all the knights sang sincerely, now I look forward to meeting him."

Having said that, Siegfried didn't say anything more.

no.241 war and monkeys

In the main hall of the British Court, Mary is standing quietly in the center of the hall at the moment.

She has long white hair and a beautiful face, matching the dress, making people feel pity for her.

Just like what France predicted before, in the face of such a princess, few people would have the heart to embarrass her.

Well, at least many of those who have been eyeing the new messenger because of the previous incident are relieved of their hostility.

In any case, the goal of the French side can be regarded as achieved.

No one was embarrassed, Mary and Dion quickly stated the purpose of this mission.

This time, they not only brought the previously scheduled indemnity, but also added an additional 10,000 gold coins.

Of course, this gold coin comes from all the nobles in France, and each person has ten 10.

In fact, another part was collected by Pepin as his own.

Their purpose is very clear, on the surface it is to repair the two countries, but in fact they want Lucifer to transfer back part of the southern legion, and at the same time let Lungomeniad and Arian Heard return to the royal city.

"This time, France finally sent a man who can speak clearly, instead of the monkey before.

Taking this opportunity, let me reiterate that I don't like monkeys.

That kind of stuff just feels funny, not cute."

On the throne, Lucifer said softly with a smile.

"Marquis Rolle, they are not monkeys."

At this moment, Mary subconsciously defended the nobles of her own country.

"Isn't that saying that Princess Mary is acknowledging their status as messengers?"

Regarding this, Lucifer asked back with interest.

At this time, Mary still didn't realize the meaning contained in Lucifer's words.

She just subconsciously sticks to her own ideas.

"That's right!"

As soon as Mary finished speaking, Dion felt a little bad.

Because the eyes of the people around them have changed, the previous good impression seems to have disappeared, replaced by a playful look.

Dion thought that the princess knew something about diplomacy, so the king sent her here.

But now it seems that he was too naive.

"Your Highness, be careful with your words!"
