Chapter 303: His Royal Highness
"If there are any other documents that need to be processed, please move them here together."
"No, no more. You have already approved all the reports sent in from various places." The clerk next to him wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The man raised his head, was in a trance for a moment, and then grinned: "It was handled so quickly, I'm really not used to it."
"Your Highness, you are so diligent. The people of the Principality of Tis are truly blessed." The clerk said hurriedly, carefully raising his eyelids and secretly looking at the young grand duke.
A few months ago, the man sitting behind the long table was still the "prince" laughed at by everyone, but in the blink of an eye he became the real Grand Duke Tis, completely controlling all power in the principality.
Everything seemed like a dream. When the news of the Queen's assassination came, no one believed it. When the prince fled, people talked a lot. When the rebels in the empire surrendered, the local nobles were skeptical. When the three archdukes in the north extended an olive branch, people were silent. When the border of the empire retreated all the way to the west - even the most dull-witted person should understand that this land has a new owner.
Whenever he thought of this, the clerk felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
Who was it that said that the "Prince" was just a waste? He watched with his own eyes as the prince skillfully dealt with various forces, dividing, winning over, making promises, and forming alliances. In just a few months, he integrated the scattered alliance into one. There was no more voice of resistance within the Principality of Tis, and even the empire made repeated concessions. The independent Territory of Tis was actually under his control.
Politics, military affairs, economy, personnel, the young Grand Duke Tis seems to be an expert in everything. He is in good health, energetic, and has accurate judgment. He can handle government affairs that the entire cabinet cannot handle by himself.
This, this. The clerk searched through the meager historical knowledge in his mind, but could not find anyone who could be compared to him - the queen might be able to, but she also died under the sword of the "prince".
Perhaps it is really destiny, perhaps it is really a miracle. Now in the alliance between Tis and the four northern lords, the Principality of Tis has become the dominant one. Perhaps in the future the land of the Grand Duke of Tis will not be limited to the Principality. The secretary's forehead was sweating again.
"Then you go back first. Please inform me if there is any situation. Call Galahad in." The young man said with a smile.
"Okay! Your Highness, I'll go right away!"
The clerk jumped up from his chair and trotted out of the room. After opening the door, he was startled by a tall figure standing in the corridor before he could even breathe a sigh of relief.
"Galahad? You, why are you here? When did you come here!?"
The tall man glanced at the clerk and said indifferently: "I've always been here."
After saying that, without waiting for his response, she pushed open the door and walked into the room.
Bang.
When the door closed behind him, the clerk shuddered and came to his senses.
Then he remembered that he didn't seem to call the man in. Could it be that he just heard it outside the door?
The clerk shook his head quickly and walked out of the room quickly.
He suddenly began to miss the time when Butler Euan was still around. Ever since the "Prince" came back from the Rhine, the old butler Euan had gone somewhere unknown. This man named Galahad suddenly appeared and took over the old butler's orders.
It seemed that everything was getting better. Tis became more powerful, and the "Prince" had more and more allies. This country, which had just been restored, could actually confront the empire head-on.
But the clerk always felt a little uneasy and some inexplicable fear in his heart, as if everything was sliding into the abyss.
A barely perceptible sigh was heard in the corridor.
In the room.
The "Prince" was lying comfortably in the armchair with his feet on the table.
"How is it going?"
He asked Galahad casually.
"Everything is normal, Your Highness. The sea surface has recovered. Facts have proven that the news was wrong."
"I knew it. The airship we intercepted last time? That's its name, right? How's the investigation going?"
Galahad frowned. "They still refuse to say that Connor was indeed the steward of the Duke of Cohen, and later came to Castel with the Duke's illegitimate son. But their subsequent statements are ridiculous."
"Oh, I heard you say that there were monsters in the sea and they were attacking Castel. Well, I remember that Youan went to investigate Castel's affairs?"
"Yes, but that was a while ago, and the results of the investigation are similar to what we know. The entire island has disappeared."
"That's strange. By the way, how is the investigation going on with the things they carry?"
"Not good. Their guns seem to be very different from ours. The craftsmen who were sent out to test them triggered cognitive interference. Fortunately, the test location was very remote, and only one team of soldiers died."
The prince nodded after pondering, "So, it is more likely that Duke Cohen has developed new weapons, and the airship is just under the name of Castel?"
"Yes, that airship is amazing. We sent people up to take a look. It really floats in the sky. And the weapons they carry, although we can't use them, are very cleverly designed and well made. I even have a feeling that these guns may not be worse than those equipped by the Royal Army."
"impossible!"
The prince said without hesitation.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. What do you think of that airship?"
"A novel toy. Of course, it could also be a conspiracy of the Vatican."
"The Holy See," the prince's face darkened, "They actually pushed John to the position of Pope. These secret keepers are really crazy. They only act according to the prophecy and have no judgment of their own at all."
"Prophecy" Galahad hesitated for a moment "Your Highness, is there really a prophecy?"
"Yes, there are many prophecies in the Church. Otherwise, why do you think those secret keepers stay indoors all day? They only follow the prophecies step by step. They have great power but can't do anything. This is the Church. No matter how much they have, it will only be wasted."
The prince had a look of contempt on his face: "Oh, a bunch of trash."
"Galahad, you have to know that the Candlelight Society never relied on any prophecy to grow stronger. They relied on omnipotent investigators and powerful secret keepers, but now they have forgotten all of this."
"But this is also an opportunity." The prince suddenly chuckled again. "They were so careless that they gave the land of Tis to me. I didn't have any chance at first, but now everything is different."
"Galahad, be prepared. I have a feeling that perhaps the days of peace are coming to an end - although it never really came."
