"The first thing we need to bring with us this time are Oliver and Hadrian. They are specialized merchants." Ryan first named the two merchants: "I believe that the army is not allowed to do business, and trade with high elves must be dealt with.
Leave it to professionals, Oliver has the exclusive privilege of wood elf goods, and Hadrian often interacts with Lustria and the Ash Legion, so they must bring it with them."
"In addition to these two merchants and the three battalions of the Old Guards, the Great Sword Battalion, the Halberd Battalion and the Musketeer Battalion, the newly formed Mousilon Coldstream Guards Regiment has also been brought along, although now this regiment only has
The establishment of two battalions." Ryan continued: "I have appointed Lord Philip Mountbatten, a local nobleman in Mousillon, as the commander of the Coldstream Guards. At the same time, I have also transferred legendary rank soldiers from the Old Guards.
The great swordsman Oudinot came to serve as his lieutenant."
"Also, since my father has said it, Sulia, you will be the commander of the Coldstream Guards." Ryan said meaningfully: "This army will be entrusted to you for its first mission.
"
"Okay." Lidya Su didn't say much, she just agreed immediately.
"In addition, Baron Juan will also bring a team of Sun Knights with us." Ryan nodded: "There are also Beria, and a small number of our attendants, that's all, Alfred
If you have to prepare for the wedding, don’t disturb him."
"That's all? Don't you think about it? For example, the diplomatic ambassador, for example Sylvia?" Sulia thought that Ryan did bring a few people: "Or you can also bring a few Holy Grail Knights?"
"Don't think about it, that's all." Ryan said directly: "Okay, has Devon Hill been sent to Kalad?"
"Sent it." Sulia's face turned pale. The female knight realized something from her husband's attitude, and she quickly said: "Devenhill and Kalad have been in contact many times. Kalad will be a good godfather."
.”
"Very good. Now that we've arranged it, let's do it according to these." Ryan stood up. Sulia quickly stood up. The female knight took Ryan's arm: "What's wrong? It's so late and you still have to go out.
?”
"I'm going to take a shower." Ryan smiled: "Wait until I come back, madam, and don't change your clothes~"
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Sulia stood up on tiptoes and kissed Ryan on the lips. The queen seemed to want to say something more, but Ryan said no, and the king smiled, also looking at Sulia's cherry red lips.
A kiss on the lips.
It wasn't until Ryan closed the door and went out that the smile on Sulia's face disappeared. The female knight lightly stomped her feet, then kicked off her high heels. She patted the sofa lightly with annoyance and frustration, and reached out to take her beloved
bear doll in arms.
She knew that she had done something wrong this time, and Ryan was angry. As Ryan's queen, she had always received enough respect and a lot of autonomy, but she still made mistakes. Sulia summarized the two main reasons:
The first reason is that under the guidance of Ryan's father, she only spent
Breaking through the bottleneck of the Holy Domain in just a few days made Sulia really unable to help but feel a little inflated. After all, even her brother, Julius, who had returned from the expedition, was still stuck at the legendary peak and could not make progress, and as a female since childhood,
Sulia, who was trained as a knight, did have fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield after her marriage.
Second, Ryan's father's personal charm is still very powerful, and although he is cold and full of majesty, Sulia can feel his attention and concern for her. She can't control her thoughts at once.
told him.
Now it seems that this was a wrong choice. Sulia held the teddy bear given to her by Ryan. This bear was a gift that Ryan and her bought when they were shopping in Bordeaux before the two got married.
Sulia has always cherished this little bear doll, and even sent it to the palace for refurbishment.
The female knight closed her eyes. She brought the bear closer and pressed her chin against the surface of the teddy bear. This was the first time a gap appeared between the couple.
Now, she could only think of a way... Sulia felt very sad in her heart, and the female knight had to immediately pray to the fairy in the lake.
Madam, I'm in trouble.
I need your help!
At the same time, Ryan was immersing his body in hot water, and the room was filled with steaming mist. The head maid Sylvia originally wanted to rub Ryan's back, but Ryan shook his hand and signaled her to go out first: "You
Go out first and let me be alone for a while."
"Your Majesty, did you have a quarrel with Miss...I mean Madam?" Sylvia was wearing a very light maid outfit. The head maid tried: "Madam, she seems to be in a bad mood recently, Your Majesty.
The same to you."
"No." Ryan shook his head and waved: "It's nothing, okay, you can go out and let me be alone for a while."
"Yes." Sylvia agreed but did not leave immediately. She emphasized: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty Ryan, if you are unhappy in any way, just get angry at me. It's okay with me."
"Get out," Ryan continued.
"Your Majesty Ryan, if you can't do it, you can take it out on me." Sylvia was a little anxious. After she finished speaking, the head maid left: "Madam, she is serious, I'm sorry."
Ryan leaned against the edge of the bath, the King of Knights reached out to pat the hot water, and the Gray Knight's Primarch closed his eyes.
The water is very hot, but the heart is very cold.
Deep in Ryan's soul, there is always the whisper of the Master of the Seal. He is teaching Ryan bit by bit, but at the same time, he also passes on a certain concept to Ryan.
Ryan now understands why he had many emperors in his previous life, but in the end the only people he trusted the most were the eunuchs around him? The only people he cared about were his own heirs?
Alone and helpless.
Just like the Emperor, who does the Emperor trust the most, or even the only person he trusts?
It’s the prime minister’s magic pattern, Malcador.
But in fact, Ryan knew very well that the magic pattern Malcador was called the Prime Minister, but in fact he could only be regarded as a Master of Ceremonies at most - just like his title of Markmaster, Malcador, as the emperor's first loyal servant,
It is an extension of the emperor's will, rather than a true prime minister with independent power.
Malcador was very aware of necessary evils. In his view, countless bureaucrats and countless low-level civilians could be meaninglessly sacrificed at any time. If the Emperor needed it, Malcador himself could do it, and he finally got his wish. He replaced the Emperor.
The emperor sat on the golden throne, only lasted for one day, and finally turned into ashes.
The emperor's favorite and most concerned heir is himself as the Primarch of the Gray Knights. The only reason is that Lion is irreplaceable and his love for Malcador, nothing more.
Many Primarchs were tools to the Emperor, and even some Primarchs, such as Angron, had too many side effects and were difficult to use as tools.
And why not for Ryan? Aren't the five Primaris Gray Knights also standard tool men for Ryan? From the bottom of his heart, Ryan himself doesn't think these five guys are his heirs, but he still calls them "heirs"
They, like Guilliman, because he needs their strength and their dedication.
So, having said that, why does this matter make Ryan so unhappy?
The performance of the female knight is actually not difficult for Ryan to understand. When a person has power, he will always subconsciously test the boundaries of his power, but when he touches the red line, he will usually withdraw immediately.
Then I won’t cross the line casually.
But Lidya Su crossed the line this time!
To briefly summarize, Sulia is his queen, not the queen of Britannia! He is the king! He can allow the queen to participate in politics, discuss politics, and even serve as regent. He can tolerate it, but he cannot allow it under any circumstances.
Sulia is in power!
Who gave Surya the power? It was given by him, not by the emperor!!!
What Sulia did this time eventually evolved into the emperor giving Sulia more power. If Ryan gave in on this matter, he would not be able to control Sulia in the future, because Sulia's
The source of power has changed from Lion to the Emperor, which Lion cannot tolerate.
I'm not Li Zhi. I leave all the big and small matters to my wife, go out all day long, and finally raise a female emperor.
How could Ryan tolerate this? He always held the decision-making power firmly in his hands.
In fact, Ryan has now built a new system with him as the basis and core. In this system, Ryan is irreplaceable. If you think about it carefully, you will know that even if he changes the dog leash now,
come to power, no one can
He is able to command the system built by Ryan. For example, the nobles under his command cannot command Veronica and the Old Guard. For example, Morgiana cannot command Juan and Beria.
For example, even Sulia can't command Olika.
Ryan is the only one who can make the whole system work, and only he can make the final decision so that things can continue.
This is right, this is right.
But Ryan doesn’t blame Lidya Su. He is not so narrow-minded. From the previous conversation between the two, we can know that Lidya Su actually just complained a little to her father-in-law as a daughter-in-law. This is very normal in the family. Who knows?
Don't you have any ideas of your own? Just give it a little hammering. After all, she is his favorite woman.
The real problem is the emperor's way of handling it.
The Lord of Humanity's handling method was too simple and crude, or... he didn't understand people's hearts. The Emperor just felt from Surya that Ryan did something wrong, so he ended it himself without considering the consequences and Ryan's feelings. He felt
This could resolve the conflict, so he did it.
Ryan's ideas and the new system he spent so much effort to establish were not considered at all.
Just like the Emperor didn't consider Angron's feelings and forcibly teleported him away from the eve of the uprising, just like the Emperor didn't consider Mortarion's feelings and entered the direct battle midway through Mortarion's duel with a giant beast.
Killing the giant beast instantly was like the emperor not considering Petrabo's feelings and letting him fight all the difficult battles and tough battles.
Even, just like the Emperor did not consider Horus's feelings and directly asked Malcador to establish the Council of the Supreme Lords and seize power from the Primarchs headed by the Warmaster.
Ryan had a vague hunch that there might be conflicts between him and the emperor in the future, even bigger ones.
When the time comes, he must make a choice.
Suddenly, the king felt that his heart ached a little. He felt that he still cared too little for Sulia. They were called husband and wife, but in fact, Ryan had never been able to open his heart to anyone, so he
With this problem, he used the women in his backyard more as tools. In this regard, he was like an emperor.
You can't do this, at least, you can't do this to Lidya Su. It's unfair to your wife.
This situation really needs to change.
Ten minutes later, Ryan finished taking a bath. He changed into a loose bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom swaggeringly. After thinking about it, Ryan felt very refreshed. Sulia came up with a worried look on her face.
She wanted to say something to Ryan, but she was directly picked up by her husband and spun around the room several times. The female knight said shyly: "Lane, what are you doing? Quick, put me down quickly, so that others can see it."
It’s not good.”
"Don't you want to apologize to me? Madam?" Ryan had recovered at this time. The king hugged his queen and kissed her lips: "You must show some sincerity, right?"
"Uh! Ryan, you know how to bully me!" Lidya Su finally let go of her worries. She leaned on her husband's chest: "I...I understand, please let me down first."
Only then did Ryan let Sulia down. He pulled Sulia down on the soft big bed: "Get ready to go, madam. This trip to Ulthuan will not be an easy one. We have to face a lot.
Complicated situation.”
Sulia lay on Ryan. The female knight looked at her husband, her eyes full of tenderness: "I believe in you. You will be able to handle it well and achieve your goals."
"Before, let's accomplish a small goal first?" Ryan put his hand into the slit of Sulia's dress, feeling his wife's tender black silk legs, Ryan's face finally showed a trace of true feelings
Real Thoughts: "Sulia, after marrying me, I have worked hard for you. Let me arrange this trip to Ulthuan. I will let you experience a wonderful trip. I promise, in the name of Malcador
swear."
"It's all up to you." Lidya Su closed her eyes, and she took the initiative to kiss him.
.........I am completing the dividing line of a small goal first......
Old World, late July 2513, Imperial Calendar, Marienburg.
Just today, a big event happened in Marienburg.
Two giant ironclad ships, billowing thick smoke, sailed into the waters of Marienburg.
People from all over Marienburg came out to watch the ironclad ship. This was the first time Marienburg saw the legendary ironclad ship of the dwarves, with its huge chimney, steel hull, gorgeous church, and the symbol of strength and glory.
The combined cannons made the people of Marienburg feel fear and excitement.
The emblem of the Ember Legion's eagle's talon in flames and the emblem of the King of Knights of Britannia's iris and book of swords were hung on the two ironclad ships, fluttering in the strong summer wind.
And just when the gangway was placed on the dock, something shocking happened. What came off the ironclad ship was not humans, but a large group of mustached dwarves!
Belegar, the king of the Angrond clan and the true king of the Eight Peaks - Thorgrin, the eldest son of Iron Hammer - led a group of mustaches menacingly with muskets in their hands and an ax shield or hammer shield on his back.
The first thing this group of mustachioed dwarves did when they came to Marienburg was to nail leaflets about the hatred of Marienburg merchants translated into human language from the Book of Hatred to various docks in Marienburg!
The Great Expedition on Eight Peaks Mountain was victorious! Today, the dwarves came to seek revenge!
The business princes, as well as Mr. José Magic Bird, all get out of here for us dwarves and accept the judgment from the Angland clan!
Otherwise, we will settle the hatred!
At the same time, the will from the Dwarf High King Thorgreen - the Resentful One also came to Marienburg. The High King questioned mankind and the empire. In this great expedition that was crucial to the dwarves, Marienburg
What are the motives of the merchants who are secretly obstructing and obstructing them in every possible way? Do humans not want to fulfill the contract of the Holy Alliance?!
As soon as the news came out, Marienburg was shaken, and the business princes were in panic all day long. They seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by Ivan, the Duke of Griffin twenty years ago.
The Marienburg House of Representatives convened urgently to discuss countermeasures.
