Lin Ling didn't mind giving Natsuki Subaru a chance. After all, if he really wanted to care about it, Natsuki Subaru did have the value of training.
This can be seen from the original work. Although he didn't understand anything at the beginning, and even though he stumbled and died countless times, if you really want to consider the speed of growth, Natsuki Subaru is already the kind of person who grows very quickly.
And what Lin Ling valued most was Natsuki Subaru's resilience - not everyone can face the future with a smile after dying so many times. In this regard, Natsuki Subaru has surpassed many people.
So after Natsuki Subaru made his choice, Lin Ling arranged for him: the cultural class was to be taken with Felt - both children were currently illiterate and in urgent need of make-up lessons, about the initial training in combat.
Lin Ling asked him to study with Sword Demon with him. It can be said that Lin Ling was not ambiguous at all in terms of teaching quality.
Naturally, Natsuki Subaru himself had no objections to this arrangement. Crusch once again reminded Lin Ling to pay attention to whether Natsuki Subaru had any problems, but Lin Ling put it off by saying, "I have a sense of propriety."
Later, at the request of the Sage Association, Lin Ling and Felt also conducted a blood relationship appraisal, and the results of the appraisal were not as expected - Felt was indeed of royal blood.
However, in view of the special situation now, Felt's abduction fourteen years ago was not disgraceful. Therefore, at the request of the Wise Men, Felt's princess identity was not revealed to the world, but was only made public in the circle of nobles.
, let all the nobles know that there is such a new princess in Lugnica & the Dragon Priestess. [Although Felt is not the child of the former king, but the child of the former king's younger brother, he is still called Lugnica.
For the princess]
As for Felt, the found princess, who does not live in the royal city but lives in the Karustan Mansion, and is taught by Crusch, who is also the Dragon Miko, naturally some people jumped out to raise objections and questioned whether this was okay.
It was unfair, and some even questioned whether Crusch was using his teachings to exclude his opponents.
Naturally, nothing changed in the end of these people's doubts. After all, Crusch himself had many supporters, as well as Lin Ling's secret support, and Felt's explicit approval. However, their information was released that day.
In the evening, it was in the hands of Lin Ling, who sorted out the connections between them one by one, and deduced the people behind them.
The relationship between the people in power in Lugnika is very complicated. Among them, the Sage Association is the largest power group, Crusch and other Dukes are the secondary power groups, plus small groups that are attached to the major power players, they form a
Complete upper class society.
However, the relationship between these people in power is very subtle. For example, although the Association of Sages competes with the major dukes all the year round, most of the big bosses in the Association of Sages have dukes who support or are optimistic about them. As a whole, they fight against each other.
But as individuals, they are interconnected, forming an intricate network.
And as qualified officials, these people in power basically have the ability to turn their backs on others and ignore others. Even though there are many people supporting Crusch in Lugnika now, it is because these people think that Crusch
Xiu wanted to oust Lin Ling. If they knew in the future that Crucian really wanted to help Lin Ling take back the royal power, and even assisted Lin Ling in reforming Lugnica and promoting common people, it would have touched their cake.
If so, these people will immediately demonstrate what it means to turn a page faster than a book.
Of course, when they realize the benefits that the [Harmony] reforms carried out by Lin Ling can bring to them within a certain period of time, as the beneficiaries, even those who once wanted to assassinate Lin Ling will probably raise their eyebrows.
Smiling, patting his chest and saying that he has been their supporter from beginning to end.
Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit. Lin Ling will never overestimate the moral integrity of these nobles, and at the same time he also understands that if he really wants to turn things around, he must first get Lu Ge.
Nika holds most of the power in his hands to ensure that he has the ability to carry out the previous reform - after all, there are too few people with a long-term vision and keen sense of touch like Crusch, and he wants most nobles to take the initiative to promote the reform [Harmony]
】Life, we still have to let them see tangible benefits first.
So now, the most important thing for Lin Ling is to find those nobles who do not support him, knock them down one by one, and take back the power belonging to the royal family.
Under such circumstances, the days returned to "calmness" again, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During these half months, nothing major happened in the capital, except that some officials in positions were quietly replaced.
Royal Capital, Karustan Mansion——
"I didn't expect you to be Count Claudia's..."
In the study room, Crusch, who looked extremely complicated, was sitting in the main seat. He said this with unspeakable disappointment in his tone. Next to her was Lin Ling, who was half of the party involved.
The kneeling person is named Giovanni. He was originally a subordinate of Crucius. He has been with the Karustan family for more than ten years. His resume is completely clean and he even blocked the sword of the previous head of the Karustan family. Therefore,
He was listed as a trusted confidant by Cruxiu, and because Lin Ling was "short of people", he was temporarily lent to Lin Ling by Cruxiu.
However, who would have thought that such a person who looks good from all aspects would be someone else's spy planted in the Karustan family.
Even if the other party hadn't taken the initiative to expose him, even Lin Ling wouldn't have noticed the fact that the other party was an undercover agent.
Faced with Crusch's disappointed words, Giovanni did not speak, but heard the young crown prince next to him ask: "When did you work for Count Claudia?"
"I have been Count Claudia's from the beginning." Giovanni did not refuse to answer this question. After all, he was not arrested as a betrayer, but actively exposed himself as an enabled chess piece.
, "Before serving the Karustan family."
"So..." Lin Ling picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said, "You sealed your memory of this when you joined the Karustan family, right?"
An excellent undercover agent may be able to stay undercover for more than ten years without revealing any flaws, but as someone who works under Crusch's nose, Giovanni's hiding for so many years is not just a matter of excellence - Crusch has
There are too many opportunities to catch him out, and even just ask a simple "Are you loyal to me?". And since they want to plant an undercover agent into the Karustan family, it is impossible for the other party not to take this into consideration.
"Yes." Giovanni still had no intention of hiding it, and simply chose to admit it.
"Then why are you taking the initiative to expose yourself now?" Crusch's tone was not good when he asked this.
"Because I represent the sincerity of my Lord..." As Giovanni said this, he took out an envelope from his arms.
