No matter who committed the murder, Charlemagne's face was completely torn off, thrown on the ground and kicked more than a hundred feet. The nations were watching Charlemagne's jokes, and at the same time secretly calculating to profit from this series of events.

This is not a good thing, especially in the context of the recent instability in the Aquitaine region.

The Aquitaine region was the domain of the Elector, the Duke of Lanurf. At the beginning of Charlemagne's kingdom, the Elector of the "Bard's Land" was the largest of all the princes, almost independent of the Duchy of Aquitaine. After all, the Duke's family is still gentle, and they don't have any brains to establish themselves as kings, which makes Aquitaine still in Charlemagne's territory.

But now this fertile land, near the Western Ocean, is starting to have problems.

The Elector of this generation is the Duchess Eleanor, who has no ambitions. After the guillotine of the two unlucky Electors 10 years ago, they were even more cautious, and once wanted to marry the Tudor family in Albion or the Habsburgs of Castile. honestly became her duchess, and she didn't dare to give opinions to the royal family.

The duchess, who was so cautious that she had no heir, had recently become seriously ill, and the royal physician sent by the royal family was helpless but did everything she could to prolong the duchess's life and suffering.

After learning the news, the nobles who were related to the Lanurf family by blood began to liven up their minds. Nobles and nobles of all sizes sought out their relationship with the Lanurf family from the forged and authentic genealogy, proving that they could inherit the ducal title. Or how much to scrape a little oil and water from the territory of the duke.

Among the many active minds, there is a lady who cannot be ignored.

Maria Theresa, Crown of István, Grand Duke of Ostoria, Elector of Lorraine.

The Duchess, who was hated by Charlemagne and hated Charlemagne herself, had a prominent surname, Hapsburg, and was the cousin of Philip II, the new king of Castile.

Under the semi-forced mediation of the Pope, Her Royal Highness Maria Theresia reluctantly and reluctantly married the Duke of Lorraine. For her fanatical love for her native Castile, this is nothing less than the greatest insult. From then on, she dreamed of ruining Charlemagne. It would have been impossible to achieve this dream with her weak and incompetent husband and the soldiers who loved concerts and goulash. No one could defeat the valiant kingdom army with an army like "Kaishen Logistics", not even the commander in command of this army, named Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov.

Now she finally had a golden opportunity for revenge and took immediate action.

The Duchess was kind enough to ask the king. She could pass her eldest son, Franz Joseph, to Duchess Eleanor. Avoid the extinction of noble ancient families.

On the face of it, this is a good solution to the problem in one fell swoop. However, neither the king nor the common people trusted the [Castilian woman] of the Duke of Lorrainta, and a conspiracy theory was widely believed. Maria Theresia was actually a spy for Philip II. She disguised her generosity. The real purpose is to ruin the country.

Sounds a bit absurd. But the Duchess's mind was indeed similar to that.

Let the son who has successfully raised inherit the title and territory of Aquitaine, and then wait for the opportunity to separate Aquitaine and merge with Castile. Got Aquitaine as a springboard. Castile's cavalry will drive straight in, dividing the entire southern part of Charlemagne into the territory, connecting with the Dukedom of Lorrainta and the Crown of István. A Castilian Empire, almost as close as ancient Gilmania, would be born.

Although this plan is full of loopholes, it is not completely out of chance. Moreover, the Duchess gave a reason that could not be refused: the Lanurf family had been married to the Habsburgs on several occasions, and Franz Joseph was more suitable than the heirs of the other elector families in terms of blood and status.

"But the royal family is not stupid, and the cardinal is not. ”

Li Lin spread his hands and laughed.

Unscrupulous towards his adoptive father, Roland didn't even owe a wry smile.

"The Council of the Emperor has roughly agreed that His Highness Bernard will inherit the Aquitaine region. ”

Quite a pretty hand, and both of the two in the room showed meaningful admiring glances.

The Duchess, who prevaricated and harbored evil intentions, exiled the second prince who was too close to the V.E company in disguise - this old and sophisticated calculation is indeed commendable.

This decision will be made after the opening ceremony, so the opening ceremony is not only about saving face for the kingdom. It is also necessary to calm people's hearts and pave the way for the heavy changes in the future. The big guys don't want to mess up, understand?"

"Will you also participate?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, the boy looked at the ground with his face away.

With a vague premonition of sadness, the question is asked with a low voice of anticipation of something.

"As a sponsor of the academy and an influential member of the community, I will also attend this ceremony, and maybe give a speech or something. Don't forget to meet Brunhill when you have time, she's really worried about you. ”

His hand reached between the bushes of maroon hair, stroking it almost roughly.

For some reason, the corners of the boy's mouth seemed to show a happy smile.

########

Is that the expression of that moment the so-called happiness?

Turning around the picture that froze Roland's expression in an instant, Li Lin unconsciously raised this question.

Soon, he gave up thinking further. While strolling through the men's dormitory building of the college, I was thinking about military affairs thousands of miles away.

There are too many things to pay attention to and deal with, and the adopted son's momentary emotional reaction is not ranked at all.

Most of the people at Versailles were still arguing, and the final outcome of the political argument was probably not over. But as long as Fuquet throws out that proposal, the goal has been achieved. To make decisions for indecisive kings and nobles, they always have to rely on stardust to fight.

At the moment when he exchanged father-son feelings with Roland just now, a large number of weapons and ammunition had already left the production line, been loaded onto trains and U boats, and transferred to various secret military bases, and all military training for combat was basically over.

Now it is just a matter of waiting for the right moment to activate the starting pistol for combat.

The opening ceremony of the National Academy of Magic is the starting pistol, as long as it ......

Thinking was suddenly interrupted, and Li Lin's eyes reflected a girl in a burgundy cloak.

Emerald green eyes were glancing this way, and some kind of fierce love was burning in it. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
