As soon as Mark Merton left, he "happened" to pass by the maid Julis in the main hall, and rushed into a room located in the northwest corner of the palace out of breath:
"Oops... Your Highness Princess... Oh no! Something big has happened!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? If you continue to be so irritable, I'll send you to do odd jobs in the kitchen."
Leya frowned slightly and closed the page of the book she was reading.
If it had been in the past... Actually, these would not have mattered, because Julis had never been a quiet person, and Leia was already used to it.
only……
Ever since her father, Duke Luen, proclaimed himself king surrounded by nobles, Leia suddenly transformed from a noble lady to the princess of the Cecil Kingdom...
She felt that she had to look like a princess.
This is not because of the change in status, but because...she doesn't want people to look down on the new Cecil royal family because of her words and deeds.
only……
Leya didn't have much interaction with other noble ladies on weekdays, so she didn't know what a princess should look like, so... she could only settle for the next best thing, let her personal maid be a little more dignified, so as not to damage her.
The dignity of the German family.
But obviously... if you want to turn Julis, who has always been extraordinarily out-of-the-box, into a lady, this cannot be achieved in a short time.
And as Leya's personal maid, Julis had already figured out her temperament. As long as she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, scolding her like sending her back to the kitchen to do chores was just a casual comment.
While thinking about it, Julis took a closer look and saw a thick book sitting in front of Leya's desk. Just by looking at the thickness of the book, she knew... that was another book in her opinion.
The extremely boring "General History of the Empire".
That's right,
My own princess is so boring.
Not only is he not interested in the usual aristocratic banquets, but he also likes to read these books and classics that no one wants to read.
So much so that now, whenever I receive instructions from Her Royal Highness the Princess to go to the Blood Family's library to pick up books, the guards guarding the books will prepare the books early.
after all……
Besides your own princess, who else would stare at those densely packed characters all day long?
"Your Highness Princess, something serious has happened. Don't read these books anymore!" Julis said anxiously.
"Did someone declare war on father?"
Hearing Julis's words, Leya's face couldn't help but become solemn.
She has read countless books, so she knows clearly that... no matter what time it is, independence will never be smooth sailing.
"No, no! It's about you!"
"Father wants me to attend a noble banquet again?"
"His Majesty wants you to marry Duke Idar!" Julis said loudly.
Hearing the words,
Leya couldn't help but be stunned.
"Idar...Duke?"
"Yes!" Julis nodded seriously.
"oh."
After a casual reply, Leya opened the pages on the desk again, but... at this time, she no longer had the concentration she had before. The back of her ears suddenly turned red, and her heart was pounding.
What is this operation?
Julis was a little confused: "Your Royal Highness, you have never even met Duke Idar! And it is so far away from us, and there are all kinds of instability along the way, not to mention who knows who
Who is Duke Idar? Besides, there are so many people in the western part of the empire..."
Just as she was talking enthusiastically, Leya suddenly interrupted Julis and pointed at the page:
"Actually, I just wanted to take a look at the map. It's really far away..."
"But... when I asked you to taste the coffee from the eastern part of the empire, didn't you still say that Duke Idar was a capable and courageous noble? Why did your position change in the blink of an eye?"
Hearing this, Julis looked embarrassed and said:
"The coffee is delicious, but Your Highness Princess... that's the eastern part of the empire! It's a famously desolate and remote place in the Norman Empire!"
Hearing this, Leya did not reply, but asked:
"What did the Idar messenger say?"
"This is the most egregious point!"
Julis pinched her waist with both hands and said with some annoyance: "The Idar envoy did not agree and said that he wanted to go back and ask Duke Idar about his intentions!"
Just when Leya breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Julis continue:
"But what I didn't expect is that the Idar envoy did not know how much psychedelic soup he poured into His Majesty the King. Not only did His Majesty want to send an envoy to trade with the Principality of Idar, he actually wanted you to follow our Sisi
Let’s go together to visit the Principality of Idar with the envoys from the Kingdom of Er!”
"Huh?"
Leya was stunned: "Isn't this against the rules?!"
"His Majesty the King will say openly that you are here to see Lord Anel."
"Brother is in the Principality of Idar?"
"Yes, and he is also the mage advisor of the Principality of Idar."
In a sense, although Anel is only the illegitimate son of Duke Luen, he is the one with the best relationship with Leia among the members of the Blood family.
One likes to read books, and the other spends his whole day studying magic. The two of them had a lot in common in the past.
"If I go to see my brother...it's not that hard to accept..."
When she thought about how her brother had been living a hard life in the eastern part of the empire after leaving the family, Leya felt a vague sympathy for Anel.
after all……
Even though the Principality of Idar has now become one of the most important players on this continent, the barrenness and desolation in the eastern part of the empire is still a stereotype that exists in the minds of most people.
Of course they know that the Principality of Idar defeated the invasion of the Odin Empire, and of course they know that many refugees and merchants have poured into the eastern part of the empire, but... in many cases, a deep-rooted impression is not so easy to change.
"You...you don't object?"
"Father naturally has his own considerations. Besides...it's not impossible to see my brother and that...Duke Idar with my own eyes..." Leia blushed and said softly.
"And... aren't you also very curious about the Duke?"
"No! I didn't!"
…
The eastern part of the empire, the Principality of Idar.
At this time, Bruno still didn't know that he had been "targeted" by King Cecil.
As a ruler who combines outstanding qualities such as diligence, love for the people, willingness to contribute, and constant self-improvement, he was walking on the vast Valens Plains against the cold wind blowing in his face.
At Bruno's side, not only Wagner, the director of the Idar Public Security Bureau, followed closely behind him, but also many great engineers from the Principality of Idar.
Yes,
As a senior lover of wonders, Bruno is going to start knocking out wonders again!
With the system in hand, I own the world.
The existence of the wonder construction system makes it impossible for Bruno to stop building wonders. The development of magical industrialization and the gradual increase in the population of the Principality of Idar also provide Bruno with the necessary prerequisites for building wonders.
Therefore, with the completion of the Alhambra Palace, Bruno naturally put the construction of a new round of wonders on the agenda.
And after thinking over and over again... the Bastille has become another wonder building that the Principality of Idar is about to start building.
In Bruno's previous life, the Bastille was originally called "Bastille Fortress" and was built by French King Charles V in the style of a famous military castle in the fourteenth century.
only……
Bruno naturally couldn't let it exist as a military fortress. After all... Bruno didn't believe that this military building built by the nobles of the old Paris Zhengbai Banner could really play its due role.
And...if French-style military architecture can really play the role expected, then Paris will not once become the most populous German-speaking city in the world. (Manual dog head)
Bruno is not interested in the history of the Bastille, nor does he care that this prison is regarded as a symbol of the overthrow of the feudal monarchy. After all... this is the Principality of Idar, not the Kingdom of France.
All he cares about... is only the spectacle bonus that the Bastille can bring!
The intervention of the Light Church and the movements of various forces have added many variables to the situation on the mainland. As Bruno becomes aware of more and more secrets about the Light Church, he becomes increasingly aware of the coming turbulent times.
Bureau.
so……
This wonder building can greatly improve the stability of the Principality of Idar and increase the support of the people of Idar for the Stuart family. Naturally, it stands out from the many wonder buildings and becomes Bruno's first choice.
Not to mention anything else, ensuring that his family will not be overthrown and ensuring the stability of his basic base is the first principle that Bruno must follow to survive in this land!
and……
Whether it is based on the current situation or to prepare for the coming chaos, the Principality of Idar should indeed build a large prison to detain criminals.
Before this, the Principality of Idar had never had a special prison.
In other words... there is not a single dedicated prison building on this entire continent.
Any criminal who committed a crime in the noble's territory would be thrown into the dungeon under the lord's castle and locked up.
As for how many years and how to be detained...that all depends on the mood of the local ruler.
But this is naturally impossible for the Principality of Idar!
Although the Principality of Idar still did not have a specialized judicial institution at this time, Bruno also established a temporary court composed of officials from the Idar Government Affairs Office and police officers from the Idar Public Security Bureau.
They will judge prisoners who have committed crimes based on the laws of Idar, which are not sound.
and……
Whenever the sentence imposed exceeds a certain limit, Bruno will personally approve and sign it.
Although it still sounds extremely hasty, in today's era, it is enough to be regarded as a groundbreaking move.
certainly,
Naturally, this situation cannot continue forever. The School of Law of Idar Public University is already in preparation, and the legal writing of the Principality of Idar is also constantly advancing.
It is expected that in only about a year, a set of laws and regulations that suit the development conditions of the Idar Principality will be born in this land located in the eastern part of the empire.
Seeing the eager eyes of those great engineers, Bruno poured cold water on him without hesitation:
"The location of the Bastille is set to be on the Valens Plains. As for the architectural drawings... you can change them, but don't make too many changes. This thing is of urgent use and many people are waiting for it!"
Hearing this, Wagner, director of the Idar Public Security Bureau, nodded in agreement.
This is not to save money. The Bastille is still a [sss] level wonder, and the manpower and material resources it requires are no different from the Namur Fortress located on the banks of the Solon River.
But because... the Bastille really needs to be built as soon as possible.
Putting aside the spectacle bonus, ever since Bruno spread the word about building the Bastille, many power agencies in the Principality of Idar have heard about it and have proposed to Bruno one after another, hoping to reserve cells belonging to their units in the Bastille.
The Idar Public Security Bureau wants to use it to detain criminals, the Idar CIA wants to use it to detain spies, and the Idar military hopes to reserve enough cells to hold prisoners of war in the event of war...
Even the Institute of Magical Creatures of Idar Public University has applied to reserve a cell!
In fact,
The Institute of Magical Creatures not only hopes to reserve cells, but also wants to obtain a special area in the Bastille to conduct comprehensive assessment and care of mutants from the Forsaken Land.
Naturally, Bruno agreed to all these requests!
There is no way, these are all well-founded and reasonable demands. Naturally, I have to satisfy them as much as possible. The worst thing I can do is recruit more refugees. Anyway, for the current Principality of Idar, this is not a problem!
not to mention……
Bruno doesn't know what other tricks the Church of Light will come up with during this period...
Therefore, the sooner the Bastille is built, the better!
The sooner you finish it, the sooner you can get the wonder bonus, and you can have enough cells sooner.
It doesn't matter if it's empty for the time being, leaving enough prison space in advance for the upcoming disputes is the most important thing!
Hearing Bruno's instructions, the great engineers were naturally a little disappointed. After all... the construction of Idar Public University has opened up their situation!
If the great engineers were allowed to develop freely, they might be able to come up with all kinds of strange tricks.
…
Seeing that he was not far from Valens City at this time,
So after stepping on it...
Well,
wrong,
After choosing the location, Bruno simply got on the carriage and drove slowly towards the city of Valens.
In the past, the Valens Plains had always been called the only rich and fertile land in the eastern part of the empire by the nobles.
However... due to the ravages of the Odin Empire and the rise of the Principality of Idar, the Valens Plains has become the region with the lowest per capita GDP in the entire Principality of Idar!
But the per capita GNP cannot measure the importance of the Valens Plains in the entire Principality of Idar.
The vast plains and fertile water and soil have allowed the rapid development of agriculture and planting in the Valens Plains. With the planting of a large number of high-yielding crops, it has become an important food source in the entire Principality of Idar, second only to the southern part of the Idar Territory.
Production area.
So...now that he's here, Bruno naturally wants to go to Valens City to take a look at the achievements made by the Government Affairs Office in this land.
only,
Just when Bruno's motorcade slowly approached the city gate...
Accompanied by a sudden noise and the sound of a magic rifle suddenly firing, Mondale's scream suddenly came from the car window...
"There is an assassin! Protect the Duke!"
