"Calm down, calm down." Sean consoled him, "This is just their threat. Don't take it seriously. When they really resist and refuse to cooperate, it won't be too late to clean them up. Then we will replace a group of our own people."
Come up, they have lived in peace for too long and have forgotten who is the real owner of this land."
"It sounds wonderful, but it's not easy to do." Sophia Liya sighed, "But they are not the biggest trouble. No matter how powerful they are, they will not have much impact on the overall situation. The main thing is that there are people
I went to find Laurie. I couldn't hold him back any longer. He had already changed his itinerary on his own. He would return to the royal capital in a month at the latest. Although Laurie and Grand Duke Buck had not been close since childhood, that was after all.
His uncle."
The biggest weakness of the Princess Regent is probably Prince Laurie, the legal and legitimate heir to the Lancelot royal family. The last thing she wants to see is a conflict between siblings.
In order to avoid this, Sophilia sent Prince Laurie far away from the royal capital of Valesta as soon as she learned of the changes in the situation in the Swamp of Despair.
But the more you are afraid of something, the more likely your enemy will do it.
Both Grand Duke Buck and the Holy See have thought of this, and there are already people who have been inciting and slandering the leader of the Evernight Army in front of Prince Laurie.
"Can't delay?" Sean asked.
"There is no way to delay it." There was unconcealed worry in Sophia's expression, "Laurie is very angry this time and thinks that I have deliberately deceived him. If I deliberately cause trouble again and he finds out, the situation will only change.
It’s even worse, those old foxes are just waiting to catch me in this regard and use it to their advantage!”
"Understood." Sean nodded, indicating that he was very aware of the current situation and difficulties of the Princess Regent.
Prince Laurie is no longer a child. In one and a half years, he will turn eighteen and reach the legal age to take over all the royal rights of Lancelot.
Although he has always maintained enough respect and fear for the Princess Regent, after all, he can think alone and generate his own ideas. Especially under the guidance of caring people, he is more likely to have more extreme ideas, and this is the case this time.
Prince Laurie expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the Princess Regent for concealing the latest status of the battle in the Swamp of Despair from him.
There are many reasons for this emotion, and even if Sean hasn't seen Laurie now, he can roughly analyze it.
On the one hand, Archduke Buck was his uncle after all, and he believed that he had the right to know.
On the other hand, it was the regent's deception, which would make him feel that he was not trusted and was still treated like a three-year-old child.
Under the guidance of thoughtful people, this feeling will be amplified, and then inspire even stronger anger.
"There is a saying, I don't know whether I should say it or not." Sean hesitated and said.
The Princess Regent was stunned for a moment, then said with an interested look: "Your Majesty, Baron, since when did you become so polite? You have something to say that you still need to hide."
"After all, this is your housework." Sean spread his hands and said with a bit of a wry smile, "If I make rash suggestions, it can easily lead to misunderstandings."
But now that this kind of housework is no longer a simple housework, Sean can no longer stand by and watch.
Prince Laurie has reached the age of youth rebelliousness - they think they have grown up and mature, but their elders still treat them the same way they treat children. This will cause them to have a serious psychological imbalance and use some extreme or objectionable methods.
The way elders express their dissatisfaction.
But this kind of maturity is what they think of themselves. It is often the physical maturity that has begun to mature, but the psychological level has not caught up, such as the outlook on life and values. It is easy to make judgments that they think are correct but are actually wrong.
, if you are not careful, you will do something that you will regret for the rest of your life.
A rebellious child from an ordinary family would be a disaster for the family. What's more, Laurie is not an ordinary child, but a person destined to become a king in the future.
If it is not handled properly, it will be a disaster for the Lancelot royal family, the entire Asia Minor plains, and even the plans of the Yongye Army leader.
"You mean Laurie?" Sophilia straightened her expression. Anything involving Laurie would attract her great attention. "What do you think, Baron? Tell me."
"I don't mean to judge His Highness's education methods, but I personally think that there are some problems in getting along with His Highness the Prince. Many times, you are more like a strict mother than a sister who communicates heart-to-heart.
" Sean carefully organized his words.
The regent princess was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I have heard of such comments and rumors for a long time, but you are the first one who dares to say it in front of me. Let's make a small agreement here.
There is no Princess Regent or Baron Sean in the house, only a pair of friends. You said openly, when you leave this house, just pretend nothing happened. Even if you really make me angry, the most I can do is beat you up.
A meal.”
Sean thought for a few seconds, nodded seriously and said, "Okay, but before that, your highness, can you let me change my armor and come back?"
"If you keep being naughty, I will really beat you up." Sophia Liya pretended to be angry.
In the end, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, blooming like a hundred flowers in an instant, which was so dazzling that it made people's hearts beat.
Sean also laughed.
Soon, Sean said with a straight face: "Don't you think, Your Highness, that this time you are a little too simple and crude in dealing with Prince Laurie? He is no longer a three-year-old child and has his own ideas. How to get rid of him?"
, I just avoided it for a while, but when he comes back, I still have to face it. My sister is my sister after all, and I can’t replace my mother in many aspects. Once there is a rift in the relationship between the two parties, it will be more difficult to make up for it."
When Sophia Liya heard the last part, she couldn't help but restrain her smile. Sean's words touched her deeply.
Because she can clearly feel that Prince Laurie has become more and more difficult to discipline in recent years, and he doesn't like to communicate with her very much.
Due to her status, no one had ever discussed this issue with her, and there was no good experience to follow. After all, her mother died of illness before she could remember, and she grew up with her grandfather, Grand Duke Cedric.
, I don’t know how to be a qualified mother and how to educate the next generation.
She made the mistake that most parents make, which is to believe that a strict teacher will make a good disciple, placing too many expectations on her children, restricting their every move with restrictions that many adults can't stand, and at the same time ignoring their growth.
When they enter the rebellious stage and engage in resistance and rebound, the feeling is particularly strong. The tighter the pull, the greater the rebound force.
It’s not that she failed to educate Prince Laurie, but that the relationship between the two parties was obviously not satisfactory.
"What do you think should be done?" Sophia asked.
"Let it go appropriately." Sean replied without thinking, "Your Highness cannot keep His Highness the Prince under his wings for the rest of his life. As His Highness the Prince grows older, the opponents of His Highness the Princess will only become more and more active, etc.
When His Highness the Prince turns eighteen, no matter whether he is ready or not, they will try their best to push His Highness the Prince to the throne. If His Highness the Princess tries to stop him at that time, there will only be one result."
Although Sean did not say what the result was, the regent princess knew it.
war.
The internal war of the royal family of Lancelot.
She will become an out-and-out usurper.
Regardless of whether she has such thoughts or not.
Sean did not preach directly, but asked an irrelevant question: "Do you know how the Andis Giant Eagle learned to fly?"
"I don't know." Sophilia shook her head and said, "Shouldn't they be born with the ability to fly?"
"It is true that they are born with this ability, but it also requires training. Just like people are born with the ability to float, but they need special practice to master this skill. When the young eagles grow a little feathers, they
Their parents will push them down from their comfortable eagle nests, and their eagle nests are often built on steep cliffs hundreds or even thousands of meters away. In order to survive, the young eagles have to beat themselves hard.
Feathered wings."
"Even if their parents are watching over them, being dropped to death is still inevitable. As long as it is not a fatal height, their parents will even stand by and let them fall bruised all over, and some even break their wings directly. However, their tenacious vitality not only
It will heal their wings, often making them stronger. Just like old trees with scars, this process will be repeated hundreds, or even thousands, of times before they can truly fly."
"The same is true for our messenger eagles. The excellent mountain eagles that can really fly long distances have been trained hard since they were young. If they are kept in a warm and comfortable eagle nest every day, although they will not be safe,
The extreme situation of the Dis giant eagle losing its ability to fly, but compared to those mountain eagles that have been trained since childhood, they are less able to withstand the wind and rain."
Sean did not give extended preaching, but copied the educational stories from his previous life.
Sophia Liya is a smart person, so she can naturally taste the deeper meaning from it.
In fact, this is also true.
Before Sean could finish speaking, Sophia Liya had already shown a thoughtful expression. Although she had never heard of the story of a young eagle learning to fly, she did know similar stories such as a war horse learning to run, but she had never done it before.
Rui Education thinks about this aspect.
Although she has always given Laurie the strictest education, she has also protected him too well and has not given him too many opportunities to experience hardships. She always subconsciously thinks that it is too early.
But his identity is destined. He will have to face hardships far beyond those of ordinary people in the future. Only before that, can he be given more training and growth opportunities. When the time comes, he will be able to walk to the stage more calmly.
"I understand what to do next, but the question is, how to solve the current problem?" Sophia Liya, who had figured it out, couldn't help showing a relaxed smile, "According to the original speculation, the trapped Kingsley family
It will take at least two months for the army to completely run out of food, right?"
"Absolutely." Sean nodded.
"There is still a one-month buffer period. Once Laurie comes back, countless variables will increase out of thin air." Sophia Liya couldn't help but sigh.
If she could keep Laurie out of this matter, she wouldn't let him get involved. Then not only would she be in a dilemma, but Laurie would also be in a dilemma.
After all, one side is her half-sister and the other side is her biological uncle.
And in their position, interests are often higher than family ties.
"Now let's not consider excluding His Highness the Prince. Since we have decided to let it go, let's start from this matter. This is the only way to become a king. He will face this kind of choice sooner or later."
Compared to Sophia Liya, Sean is more open-minded, "Anyway, we are making a sure profit now. It's just a question of the size of the profit. Then, in order to take care of His Highness the Prince's face, why not give up a third of the profit?"
"For that brat to give up three points of profit? The baron gave him a lot of respect. The three points of profit you mentioned can be as much as the entire royal family's tax for a year." Sophia couldn't help but look sideways, even if it was
She was also shocked by Sean's boldness. After all, there were too many interests involved.
"Lancelot, the future king, is worth the price." Sean said with a sly smile, "Besides, this is just the worst plan. Maybe the situation will not be so bad that the decision made by His Highness the Prince may not be
It's so bad, but I suggest that before His Royal Highness returns to the capital, you communicate with him in person, explain clearly the stakes and your concerns, obtain his understanding, and reach an agreement with him in advance. In this way, we
Not so passive."
Sophilia smiled bitterly and said: "I do, but in order to carry him farther away, the route I planned for him was the most remote and difficult to travel. Now I can't escape for a long time, not even the king."
No one has been there for a long time.”
Sean's heart moved slightly, but he stopped talking.
"Does Your Excellency Baron have any idea..." Sophilia's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and smiled, "I forgot about Your Excellency's giant eagle mount. If you can lend it to me, I believe I can use it again and again."
Less than a week.”
It is no longer a secret that Sean owns an Andis giant eagle mount, especially since Sean frequently uses the black collar to travel between the Royal Capital and the Swamp of Despair.
The regent princess Sophilia even witnessed it with her own eyes, and expressed in a very cryptic way whether she could buy one from the Eternal Night Army Leader.
After all, the convenience can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
It wasn't until Sean brought an Andis giant eagle that had not returned to ancient times and proved that the black collar was unique that he gave up the idea of regent princess.
In fact, Sophia Liya is not the only one who has misunderstandings about the size of Andis Giant Eagle.
Sean, a pure Andisian, had no idea of the size of the Andis giant eagle until he saw it with his own eyes.
Many people, after seeing the black collar, preconceptions that all Andis giant eagles look like this.
Sean sighed and said: "This is what I was thinking just now. It's just that His Highness would have to ride an eagle on the road. It was too simple. There are not so many positioning coordinates in the air. It is easy to cause confusion in the direction. If you are not careful, you will go in the opposite direction.
, I had a similar experience before. I got lost on the Odin Prairie and couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Fortunately, I didn't run too far that time. I wandered around blindly for several days and saw Sanset with the naked eye.
Feng, just went home again."
"Oh? Your Excellency, you have such an interesting experience in men's lifting? Why have I never heard of you mentioning it?"
"Interesting? I don't think so. I don't even want to recall such a terrible thing, let alone take the initiative to mention it."
"What if His Excellency the Baron sends me there in person? Looking at the size of your giant eagle mount, there should be no problem transporting two people at the same time, right?" Sophilia asked enthusiastically, obviously not only wanting to hurry up through the black collar, but also in person
He communicated with Prince Laurie and became very interested in the matter of God.
