[Chapter 351: The Royal Bloodline of Tilan Lives Forever]
In the eyes of Earl Sutton-Stewart, Duke David of Glamorgan is a very peculiar person.
In a way, this young man should be the same kind of person as himself.
But on the other hand, this young man attaches great importance to the relationship between him and several women, which makes him seem very contradictory. Of
course, Sutton believes that it is possible that Duke David of Glamorgan has a strong possessiveness. If he cannot monopolize it for a long time, then he would rather not eat it!
In short, Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia has obviously been delivered to the Duke’s mouth. If it were someone else, it would not be surprising that Sofia is pregnant at this time. As a result, the Duke has full self-control and has not crossed the line at all.
If it were not for the few confidants around him, and if it were not for the fact that the Duke of Glamorgan’s reputation in a certain aspect had already spread in Winter City, it would be easy for people to misunderstand whether the Duke has something to hide!
His Majesty Abelson and Queen Rosie analyzed the situation over and over again, and finally invited Earl Stewart to come to a conclusion that was almost reliable: the Duke might be worried about not being able to give the princess a status, so the matter was at a standstill.
His Majesty Abelson was very speechless, he didn’t expect it to be such a reason.
In fact, at this time, Abelson and Rosie were no longer entangled in the status. As long as David could accept Sophia and have a relationship in a substantial sense, then they would be satisfied.
If Sophia could give David a child, it would be even more worth celebrating – perhaps the Kingdom of Tilan will perish, but the bloodline of the Tilan royal family can continue for a long time, and even be inseparable from the Winter Royal Family.
It was precisely because of these reasons that Stewart took the initiative to come to the door and directly point out some things.
The Tilan royal family does not force you to marry the princess immediately, and you can do it later!
As for those confidants, when the Principality of Winter becomes the Kingdom of Winter, David will be the king. At that time, David will decide the laws of the kingdom. You can marry as many as you want and marry whomever you want.
Anyway, don’t drag it on like this. It will make His Majesty the King panic. He is always worried that the Grand Duke will suddenly have an idea one day and invite His Majesty the King to reunite with his ancestors.
“…”
After listening to Earl Sutton-Stewart’s suggestion, David also realized that this matter really couldn’t be delayed. He originally thought that giving Sofia some time to let her slowly accept some things was a good way, but he didn’t expect to make a group of onlookers anxious.
Sofia might also be a little anxious. I heard that she asked Laura to buy some clothes a few days ago. I wonder what style they are?
Without directly answering Sutton’s words, David naturally turned the topic to Sutton’s work, as if he didn’t want to mention this matter.
But the pause and thinking just now did not escape Earl Sutton-Stewart’s eyes. Sutton knew that David understood what he meant and thought about it seriously.
From the fact that David continued to discuss the commander of the Tilan Knights with him, it can be known that David was not going to do anything to the Tilan royal family. Princess Sofia would soon become a duchess, although she was only in the reserve.
But the news that he heard next made Sutton-Stewart not so happy, because David asked Sutton to accept military training in Winter City.
“This… shouldn’t be necessary?”
“Yes, otherwise you don’t even know the combat methods of the Winter Legion, how can you command your men.”
“Am I not just a figurehead?”
“Sophia is the figurehead.”
“…”
“Tomorrow you will go directly to Gareth, and he will arrange a detailed training schedule for you.”
Sutton was shocked when he heard this. What does this mean? Let him train with the Winter Knights? Not long after he came to Winter City, he visited the training of the Winter Knights. That was not training, that was simply playing with his life!
Although Winter City has the magical power of Holy Light, there are also priests and paladins stationed in the barracks to ensure that the soldiers will not suffer attrition due to training.
But this also means that the training intensity of the Winter Army is amazing, and injuries are commonplace. Although Sutton-Stewart has also received a certain degree of strengthening and learned martial arts, he is not sure that he can really withstand such intensive training.
“Maybe you can also learn holy light or arcane!”
“I only know a little about the mysterious power. I don’t think I can become a strong spellcaster.”
“There is no loss in trying. Once successful, there are many benefits.”
In any case, Sutton-Stewart must receive training. According to David’s idea, the Tilan Knights are not just a symbolic legion with a number, but should become one of the trump cards of Winter City. Only in this way can they play their due role in the future battle against the Temple.
When David expressed his intention to retain the name of the Tilan Knights, the task of completely destroying the Temple was destined to be handed over to this team.
As long as everything develops according to his idea, the Tilan Knights will not only be strong enough, but also loyal to him.
After arranging a new position for Earl Sutton Stewart, David asked about the situation in the lower city.
The government reorganization is nearly complete, and the public security department has been divided into the police department and the fire department. The Squirtles are basically assigned to the fire department, and Bulbasaur is assigned to both. The
industrial zone has been established, and some nobles have really begun to ask the Duke about the possibility of building a private civilian car manufacturing plant.
David handed this matter to Will to discuss with the nobles. Howard, Leonard and Penny can provide Will with appropriate suggestions.
David really wants to see how this matter will develop.
After he asked about the general situation and confirmed that everything in Winter City was developing according to plan, David called Gareth Stanton and Weatherby Swan to the office. He
discussed with the two about Iron Tree Castle’s purchase of Garand rifles.
“Do this business or not?”
From a business perspective, Iron Tree Castle’s order will not bring any huge wealth to Winter City, and Winter City does not have to rely on this business to make a living.
It seems unnecessary to sell weapons to Iron Tree Castle.
But if you think about it in another direction, this business is not impossible to do.
“You can sell them. Not only can we sell weapons, but we can also teach the soldiers of Iron Tree Castle how to use firearms correctly, and even send instructors to provide guidance.”
Gareth Stanton and Weatherby Swann’s suggestions were surprisingly consistent. They both suggested that the Duke agree to Iron Tree Castle’s purchase proposal and even give Iron Tree Castle various discounts and benefits. The price of guns and ammunition was not mentioned at all, as if it was a trivial matter that was not important at all.
“Considering that the entire Kingdom of Tilan is beginning to show a trend of chaos, more and more civilians will come to the Northern Plains from all over the country in the future, and Iron Tree Castle is the gateway to the Northern Plains. It is best not to have any problems.”
Although David did not focus the intelligence department on the entire Kingdom of Tilan, he still paid some attention to the south.
The current situation of the Kingdom of Tilan is similar to what David had previously speculated, and as time goes by, the chaos will become more and more obvious. In order to avoid the war, the most peaceful Northern Plains will become the first choice for countless people to flee.
The location of Iron Tree Castle determines its importance to the Northern Plains.
“In addition, sending people to train the army in person can directly infiltrate the power into Iron Tree Castle. Maybe in the future, you can take over that area in a relatively peaceful way.”
Gareth and Weatherby both thought that it was a good plan to use the money and people of Iron Tree Castle to train a force that had a high enough favorable impression of Winter City and might even turn to Winter City at a critical moment.
As for how to ensure that the trained troops would obey the command of Winter City, it depends on the means of the instructor team sent there.
“Are you going to go in person?”
“No, I’m not good at this kind of thing.” Gareth Stanton thought that Floyd was the most suitable for this task. As for how to make the army of Iron Tree Castle loyal to Winter City, Gareth and Weatherby both thought that it would be appropriate to send two Holy Light priests to go together. The magic of Holy Light can easily shock these people’s hearts and then have a favorable impression of Winter City, which uses this power.
Especially since Iron Tree Castle is now the front line of the battlefield, after one wounded after another is healed by Holy Light, how could they not have a burst of favorable impression of the Holy Light users?
David had done this before. It can be said that a large part of the Iron Tree Castle’s army had a good impression of Winter City. If they continued to work hard, they could win over Winter City.
If Iron Tree Castle took the initiative to put Floyd and his men in to train the troops, it was inevitable that Marquis Dudley Morgan would lose control of his own army.
“That’s decided. As for the specific details of the transaction, Weatherby, you choose someone to talk to Maloney, and Gareth, you go to explain the situation to Floyd. Let him choose the accompanying instructors, guards, and priests.”
The general direction was set, and all David had to do was to make the final decision.
He no longer had to follow up on the details. He had more and more subordinates, and some of them were people who could do things. Otherwise, what was the point of paying them wages? Did he have too much money and nowhere to put it?
After dealing with this matter, David found that he should not have any official business to deal with in the near future.
“Oh, no, there is another important thing to do.”
David said hello to Eva after coming out of the office: “Don’t disturb me today, and don’t call Sophia for dinner.”
“Be careful, Sophia is still young.” Eva reminded him, and called David as if she remembered something, then took out a bottle from the drawer of the desk and put it in David’s hand: “Maybe it can be used.”
“…”
Putting the thing in his pocket, David went straight to Sophia’s room, ready to give this blonde schoolgirl a remedial lesson.
