The King of Knights in a Different World

But even with Roma in mind, the worst-case scenario would be to split Rose with Roma."

Of course, this is just an optimistic guess.

Judging from the current situation, the overall strength of Rome is stronger than that of Britain. If they send troops together, Rome will definitely occupy more territory than Britain. Then, Britain must also guard against Rome's northern offensive.

During this period, if there are any accidents, such as Rome falling in a war, the situation in Britain will become worse.

However, even so, Lucifer's strategy still made Yekaterina extremely frightened.

"...What about the other two strategies?"

She thought for a moment and asked.

"The middle strategy is to actively intervene in Ross's war in the form of support, and at the same time support an agent I can control, and take Ross into his hands in a legitimate way."

Facing Lucifer's words, Yekaterina keenly discovered the problem.

"But you don't guarantee that your surrogate will complete obedience."

Even if the king of a country is just a puppet pushed up, he will not be willing to be a lackey of another country.

More often than not, he will feel that he is the real king, and then start to inflate himself.

"The temptation of royal power is the sweetest poison in the world. It is more intoxicating than women and money. No one will be willing to submit to others. This is the inevitable result.

But there will be a buffer period, I will let him open fire on Rome in the name of revenge, and even if Ross is done, I can go north, and Rome will take care of me flawlessly."

Lucifer naturally understood the troubles involved.

no.358 Do you want to be king

To support a king, many conditions are required.

Once it gets out of control, there must be a backup plan, but if it is only used as a one-time consumable, the way it is used will be completely different.

However, even so, there may still be cases where the tail drop is not large.

"Such a strategy is only a medium strategy. I can understand that the risks involved are far beyond your control."

After thinking for a moment, Ekaterina said.

"almost.

After all, even if a puppet owns Rose, it won't cause too much trouble for Rome, and it may even make him unable to see himself clearly."

Supporting foreign puppets is different from domestic ones. Even if you are coercing the emperor to command the princes like Cao Cao, you must at least stay by the emperor's side for a long time, otherwise the emperor will cause trouble, not to mention the distance abroad.

"What's the best policy?"

"The best strategy! The easiest way is to find a Thunder Emperor's successor and let him take over, and continue the previous strategy.

If this is not the case, under the threat of Rome, Ross will be defeated sooner or later."

"Ross has no second Thunder Emperor."

"That's right! Ross doesn't have a second Thunder Emperor, and there won't be another Thunder Emperor.

So, Ekaterina, if you want anything from me for your husband, you can go back now."

Having said that, Lucifer directly indicated his intention.

His words made Ekaterina's heart sink.

Originally, she was very confident that she could win Lucifer's support, but now she got such a result.

"Why?"

"It's very simple! I have seen your husband Peter himself. In my eyes, he is just a waste who indulges in enjoyment. He is not my candidate at all. Even if he is a puppet, he is not qualified."

Lucifer's words at the moment did not show any mercy.

Even if you are a puppet, you must at least have the self-knowledge of your own situation, but that... person obviously doesn't have it.

Maybe he just finds a noble lady to blow some air, and he just goes astray.

This kind of person can't be used at all.

"..."

"I hope what I have just said has not hurt your heart, madam.

If there is no accident, the strategy of coming to see me is not from his own hands, it is your private decision, Madam."

Lucifer got up and slowly came to Ekaterina's side.

"Nothing can hide from your eyes.

That's right, it's my private decision.

Since His Majesty is so frank with me, I don't want to hide anything, the current situation of Ross makes me feel dangerous."

"Perhaps you should say, very dangerous.

When Lei Di was alive, Anna was assassinated several times, now that Lei Di is gone, no one knows what the royal family and nobles will do.

In the coming era, we can only go against the current, if we don’t fight, we will perish, there is no other choice.”

If Ekaterina is just an ordinary nobleman, she can choose to escape or be neutral. As long as it does not affect the overall situation, no matter who becomes the king in the end, her status will not change much.

But the problem is that she is Peter's wife and they will definitely be killed by the new king if they don't take the initiative to fight for her.

In other words, the new king can only be added by stepping on other people's corpses.

Considering what happened to Anna, it is not difficult to guess their final fate.

"Your Majesty means that if I am applying for asylum to you, will I refuse?"

Ekaterina asked tentatively.

Yes, she felt threatened.

She came here precisely because she might die in an assassination.

"Not now, I welcome Anna's relatives to take refuge.

But madam, are you sure you want to do this?

After all, you are not my queen, once Ross is stable again, if the new king asks me to hand you over through diplomatic means, at that time, I may be very happy to use you as a bargaining chip between countries."

Lucifer frankly stated what might happen.

But this result was just a tragedy for Ekaterina.

"It seems that in any case, we have only a dead end."

She smiled wryly.

"Unless... win!"

"Unless you win."

"Don't think the world is fair, because the world has never been fair.

Many times we are just a pawn pushed forward by the times, rather than lamenting, it is better to try our best."

"I don't have the bravery of His Majesty, and... that... price may be Rose's disappearance."

"Then just disappear."

"What"

"I said, just go away.

Placing hope on an illusory fantasy, isn't this the doomed result from the very beginning.

If you don't plan for the worst from the start, you're bound to be disappointed in the end."

Lucifer looked at the woman in front of him with a hint of playfulness in his expression.

At this moment, an interesting idea gradually formed in Lucifer's mind.

"..."

Catherine fell into a long silence.

Originally, the reason why she came here in private was to use Peter's name to get Lucifer's support. As long as Lucifer's support is there, it will be a political fortune for the fight for the throne. Even if the fight for the throne fails later, they will You can also seek political asylum.

But now it seems that no matter how you choose, there is only one dead end.

At this time, Ekaterina was not sure of victory, rather pessimistic.

Taking advantage of Yekaterina's confusion, Lucifer put his hand on her shoulder, and he whispered in her ear.

"Ma'am, do you want to be king?"

"What!"

Yekaterina was startled, and subconsciously looked at Lucifer.

At this moment, their eyes were very close to each other.

She could see that Lucifer's eyes were very playful.

"I'm asking, madam, do you want to be king?"

"Me! How can I"

"Why is it impossible.

Theoretically speaking, you are a princess and have the right to inherit.

If you can win this battle for kingship, you don't have to worry about anything."

Lucifer continued to talk about Ekaterina's advantages.

That's right! Although it may seem easy to ignore, it is not impossible for Catherine to inherit the throne.

In this world, queens are not uncommon. Leaving aside the previous ones, even Rome has just had a queen.

Gender has never been a hindrance.

"Your Majesty, you are too worthy of me."

Ekaterina said with a wry smile.

Before that, she never thought about the choice of becoming a king herself.

Before that, she wanted Peter to become the king, and she, as the queen, influenced the king.

But Lucifer's words at this time affected her and at the same time seemed to open a new door.

She didn't know what was behind the door, but it looked so exciting to her.

"I believe in my own judgment. Compared with other princes, you are more suitable to be the new king of Rose.

Don't hide it, at least I saw the flame of ambition in your eyes."

Lucifer continued to speak to her with a magical voice.

Compared with other people I don't know well, the person in front of me...if he becomes the king, the development of things seems to be unexpectedly interesting.

Come on, let me see if you are the Emperor Ye in history.

no.359 2 in 1

"Even if I want to revive Rose, I don't have the ability."

Ekaterina was still retorting, but there was a touch of difference in her voice.

She turned her head and subconsciously avoided Lucifer's gaze.

But this kind of avoidance itself shows a guilty conscience, yes, she thought about it, and the idea of ​​wanting to become a king began to germinate in her mind.

Now it needs just the soil to support its growth.

"Do you have the guts to touch it?"

Lucifer raised his hand, and the fire of sin karma burned in his arm.

This flame itself is the proof of sin, and it will amplify the desires of the human heart.

Those who can control it will have less influence.

But those who cannot control it will be swallowed by it.
