But in this case, it won't be useful if there is a broken blood castle.
Especially in a family like the Lancelot royal family, which is extremely particular about genealogy and bloodline, even if the part of Jennifer's bloodline that belongs to the Odin orcs is very small, if you want to become the queen of the Lancelot royal family, you will still be ripped off.
The bottom line becomes a reason for others to criticize.
Because the Strachey family is not the only one who is eyeing the position of royal queen.
Every battle for the position of queen is filled with a game of power and interests.
Their biggest advantage this time should be the regent princess Sophilia. With her to deal with it, they are more likely to win.
"You don't need to tell them anything. Let little Sophia handle it when you get to the royal capital. She is better at this than you." Archduke Cedric added.
"Got it!" General Esdemund responded in a muffled voice and strode away without looking back, leaving this tall and thick man to explain to two innocent and unorganized little girls what marriage is and what responsibility is. Indeed,
It was a bit difficult for him.
As mentioned just now, the Strachey family is definitely not the only one eyeing the position of royal queen.
Not only those grand ducal families, but also all the powerful lords and nobles who had girls of the right age in their families, after receiving the news that the new king of the Lancelot royal family was preparing to come to the front, they all set out on the road to Valesta.
No, to be more precise, it should be that all men and women of suitable marriageable age in the Byron Alliance are on their way to Valesta.
Don't forget, it's not just the young prince who is about to ascend to the pinnacle of power who needs a queen.
The young princess who is about to step down from her title as regent also needs a husband.
There is never a shortage of young people in this world who dream of reaching the sky in one step.
After the New Year's carnival, Valesta seemed to have entered spring in an instant, and everything was filled with the smell of male hormones and estrogen.
Before the Lancelot royal family could express anything, those self-righteous young people began to compete spontaneously.
The way for young men to show off their strength is to show off their military strength. The old-fashioned aristocratic duel was brought out by them. For a time, dueling with white gloves became a fashion in Valesta.
If you want to steal the princess from me, let's duel!
If you disagree on politics, let’s duel!
If you don't like each other, let's duel!
Anyway, there is nothing that cannot be resolved in a duel, at least in the eyes of those young knights who have had a few glasses of strong wine and don't know their last names.
They still don't know that the biggest target that makes them fight for life and death has already been determined. Even if they win all the duels, it won't matter to them.
How could something as high-end as the Princess Regent's choice of husband be reduced to such a childish way of deciding ownership.
The situation is similar for those girls who compete for beauty at every opportunity.
Choosing a queen is not a beauty pageant, and you cannot win by being more beautiful than others. You must have a prominent bloodline and a large family to support you.
Otherwise, even if you meet a young prince at a banquet and have a beautiful and moving love story, you will end up becoming one of the young prince's lovers, but not his queen.
To a certain extent, the queen is an out-and-out political product.
The young prince's mind is not on this at all now. Apart from being captured by the regent Princess Sophia and learning how to deal with various government affairs, he spends the rest of his time with the little griffon presented to the royal family by the leader of the Yongye Army.
I wish I could eat and sleep together so that this little griffon can grow up overnight and take him to fly in the sky.
Children are still children after all, and they will not grow up overnight because of other people's wishes.
Just because the regent Princess Sophia has the idea of subverting the situation, it does not mean that Prince Laurie will cooperate.
Privately, Sophia Liya blamed Sean for sending the little gryphon, kidnapping Prince Laurie, and making him play with toys to lose his ambition.
Sean smiled bitterly. It seemed that she was the one who helped Prince Laurie with the idea to extort the flying eagle mount from him. She was also the one who was ecstatic when she first received the two little griffons.
Now that Prince Laurie is addicted to playing with griffons, why has he become his fault again?
But this kind of question must not be asked out loud. It is better to shoulder the blame honestly. This is the privilege of women in the honey vat of love.
In fact, compared to those strong women in previous lives, Sophia Liya's strength is not pure.
To a large extent, it is because she is in this position and has to shoulder this heavy burden and pretend to be strong. In her heart, there is still a bit of male superiority and female inferiority. After all, the environment in which she lives is like this. Like Wu Zetian, in a completely patriarchal society
There are only a few people in the world who have grown up to be extreme feminists, and there is only one such person in the entire history of flower gardeners.
When getting along in private, Sophia Liya rarely appears condescending, and occasionally behaves in a very measured manner, which makes Sean feel very comfortable.
After the New Year's carnival, Sean originally planned to take the black collar back to the Evernight Army as soon as possible.
It has become a custom for the Yongye Army to hold a high-level meeting every year to summarize the gains and losses of the past year and formulate plans for the next year. Especially Sufilia's sudden decision before the new year has an impact on the Yongye Army.
Quite big, they must adjust their future strategic layout.
The plan could not keep up with the changes. Just when he was about to return, he learned from the regent Princess Sophilia that Archduke Cedric would come to Valesta in the near future and brought news about the recent movements of the Odin Orcs.
Sean decided to postpone the high-level meeting.
Archduke Cedric is the true white jade pillar of the Byron Alliance, the purple golden beam that holds the sea. It is precisely because of him and the Broken Blood Cavalry led by him who stick to the border all year round that the songs and dances of the Byron Alliance can be achieved.
.
The deeper he understood the strength of Odin the Orc, the deeper Sean's admiration for this knight of the kingdom grew.
The slightly larger Odin Orc tribe made the leader of the Evernight Army retreat. It was amazing that Archduke Cedric was able to carry the two Odin empires for so many years.
Sean was full of curiosity about such heroes.
Moreover, he is Princess Sophia's biological grandfather. If the two of them want to get together, they will have to overcome him sooner or later. Although their relationship is not like that of ordinary people, the final result is not determined by one person's will, but
It is also a good choice to win the favor of the other party in advance.
The most important thing is the news about the Odin Orcs brought by Archduke Cedric. It is definitely not a small matter that can make him come to Valesta in person.
In fact, Eagle Eye Special Qinko, leader of the Yongye Army, has already felt the turmoil on the Odin Prairie.
In the past ten years, the Theodin Empire has produced a generation of heroes, and the royal court has become extremely popular. Last year, it even married a princess from the Fox Clan, who has the reputation of being a queen.
The Eastern Odin Empire is in decline, the old lions are in decline, and the young lions are vying for power with all their teeth and claws, making the entire eastern Odin prairie a mess.
When the balance of confrontation is broken, even a fool knows that something will go wrong.
It’s just that the operation time of Yongye Army Leader is too short after all. Hawkeye Special Qinke’s energy in recent years has been on the Byron Alliance. Although Odin Prairie has been using the caravan model to mix sand, in a short period of time, it is very difficult to
It is difficult to control the overall situation.
Again, the Odin Prairie is too big, and the lives of the various tribes are too disjointed. Throw in hundreds of eagle eyes, and they won't even be able to kill anything.
Broken Blood Castle has been fighting against the Odin Empire for so many years. It is not unusual for them to have penetrated and understood them better than the Eternal Night Army, and they have information they don't know. Otherwise, Sean would have doubts.
What lasted so long?
The movements of the Odin Orcs are also closely related to the Eternal Night Army Leader.
It’s not just a matter of the Kogel Steppe outside the northern fortress.
Also because the Eternal Night Army is becoming increasingly close to the Byron Alliance, the wealth plundered from their trade has accounted for the majority of the Eternal Night Army's financial income.
The Byron Alliance has been destroyed, and the Eternal Night Army will also be greatly affected. At least the current ultra-fast development speed will be lost.
However, judging from the situation unfolding on the Odin Steppes, it is unlikely that the Odin Empire would launch a full-scale war against the Byron Alliance.
On the contrary, it is more likely that the West Odin Empire will launch a full-scale invasion of the East Odin Empire.
There is also a lot of room for maneuver here.
There is a kind of wealth in this world called war wealth.
Military supplies are always needed to fight a war, right?
The leader of the Yongye Army happens to be one step ahead in this aspect, especially in terms of black powder.
During the battle in the Swamp of Despair, the amount of black powder used by the Yong Ye Army Leader was terrifying, but it could not withstand the full firepower of the hundreds of arsenals within the Yong Ye Army Leader, and the amount of black powder produced was even greater.
According to subsequent statistics, their usage is less than one-tenth of the total production.
The black powder has now been declassified and is no longer the monopoly product of the Yongye Army.
The leader of the Yongye Army is preparing to take advantage of the last opportunity to make a crazy move.
Sean initially set his sights on the mining industry of the Kingsley family, Archduke Buck, and was full of interest in it.
However, the Kingsley family has been squeezed hard enough by the Eternal Night Army through war compensation. In a short period of time, the oil and water are limited, so it can only be regarded as a long-term transaction, and there is no way to eat up the inventory of the Eternal Night Army in one go.
Moreover, Archduke Buck was not a fool. He would not completely rely on imports of this kind of military supplies. It was inevitable to go back and reverse the formula.
In short, bulk sales of black powder are very time-sensitive, and now is the best time for the Yongye Army to lead bulk shipments.
Archduke Cedric can be said to be resolute and resolute. Not long after Sean received the news, the other party had already led a team of broken blood cavalry to the gates of Valesta. The attack of thousands of miles was nothing more than this.
"It's Grand Duke Cedric, really Grand Duke Cedric, our guardian, the legendary God of War. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet him in my lifetime."
"Look at his mental outlook, look at his waist, and look at that armor. He is indeed a knight of our kingdom. Legend has it that he is nearly a hundred years old, and you can't tell at all."
"This is perfectly normal. Do you think that the Champion Knight is just a lie? It will be no problem for Archduke Cedric to protect us for another thirty to fifty years."
"Thirty to fifty years? It's too short. I wish he could live forever and protect us forever. As long as he is here, we can sleep peacefully."
"Blood-colored heavy armor, broken-headed sword, and bloody cloak. They are so powerful and evil. The broken-mouthed blood knights are truly worthy of their reputation. Only knights like this can guard our borders. I really want to join them."
"Haha, you are the only one who wants to join the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry? Save it! I heard that the grooms of the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry also have to start with knight-level strength. You are not even qualified to be a groom, and you still want to join the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry? Unless
The wound will bleed to a certain extent, otherwise you won’t be able to think about it in your lifetime.”
"You dare to humiliate me? I will fight you!"
"Duel? Haha...have your brain been corrupted by those brainless Lord's children? Only ghosts will challenge you!"
"You despicable coward, you don't even dare to fight in a duel, do you still have any glory?"
"What is glory? Can it be used as food? Just watch the excitement, don't make useless remarks and make people laugh."
"Tell me, His Excellency Grand Duke Cedric, why did you suddenly come to the Royal Capital? He has come to the Royal Capital no more than ten times in his life, and each time it was accompanied by earth-shattering events. The last time he came to the Royal Capital, he was just to support
Princess Sophia has become the regent, and I heard that the team of Broken Blood Riders he brought with him caused a bloody massacre in the royal capital."
"I don't know why I shouldn't spread rumors. It was not the Broken Blood Cavalry that took action at all, but the Knights of the Iron Rose of Her Royal Highness. From the beginning to the end, Archduke Cedric did not send a single soldier into the city. The Strachey family is known as the
Interfering in the succession disputes among all the Grand Dukes of the Byron Alliance."
"What's the difference? Without the support of Archduke Cedric, how could the young Princess form the Knights of the Steel Rose? Now everyone knows that the Knights of the Steel Rose are just the reserves of the Broken Mouth Blood Riders.
Didn’t the elites end up going to the Broken Mouth Blood Riders?”
"I don't know that there is a default rule among the nobles. There is no direct evidence and it has never been done. Grand Duke Cedric always plays within the rules. Others cannot find faults. If you have this ability, you can also play like this.
Besides, these are all old accounts, what’s the point of bringing this up? Or do you have any complaints about Her Royal Highness the Princess’s rule?”
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. When did I say that I had complaints about Her Royal Highness the Princess's rule? I am also a person who has experienced the rule of the previous regent. I know how much that guy did. If it hadn't been for Her Royal Highness, I would have
I don’t know what kind of harm it will cause to our Valesta! I’m just curious about the reason why Archduke Cedric came to the royal capital at this time.”
"What's so strange about this? Everyone with a discerning eye knows this. The Lancelot royal family and the Strachey family have a long history of marriage, which is the key to maintaining the stability of Broken Blood Castle. This generation should have half of the Strachey family.
A prince of blood sat on the throne, but something unexpected happened and only a princess was born. Now that the new king has grown up, he will succeed to the throne soon. Of course, the candidate for the queen must be finalized. Didn't you see that there are women's carriages accompanying the procession behind the procession?
"
"Is that our future queen?"
"Hey, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Now it's not just the Strachey family who are eyeing the queen's position, but also those noble ladies who don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Let's not talk about it for now. As far as I know, the other seven major families
We know that there are no fewer than five young ladies of the right age, ready to launch an offensive on this matter."
"Just talk nonsense! How could you possibly know such high-end news?"
"It's not that the news I know is high-end, but you are too ignorant. There is no need to deliberately understand this kind of thing. Those people will actively spread the news in order to build momentum. You only need to pay careful attention to their daily movements and you will easily speculate.
Find out which families are peeping at this position. In the past, they could still sit still. Now that the Strachey family has entered the market first, those guys will definitely not be able to sit still. Just wait and see. It won’t take long.
Over time, they will arrive at the royal capital one after another, and by then, everything will be clear."
"That seems to be the case. I didn't expect you to have such skills. If this is the case, our capital will be busy again."
"Who says it's not the case! It's hard to say who will be the queen in the end."
When Archduke Cedric enters the venue, the crowd of people watching can be described as a huge crowd of people.
In comparison, the scene where Sean presented the gryphon earlier seemed a bit insignificant.
The reputations of the two are also completely different.
After the convoy led by Yongye Army passed by, most of them were sarcastic.
The Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry led by Archduke Cedric received a lot of praise, even if there were a few slanderous words occasionally, they were drowned in a flood of saliva.
The shadow of the famous tree.
The Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry has been resounding in Ashan for so many years, and the accumulated results have long established an invincible image in people's hearts.
