“If I were you, I wouldn’t have such absurd thoughts at a time like this.”
Before waiting for the girl, Ludwig, who was sitting in the living room drinking coffee and flipping through newspapers, stopped her:
“According to what you said, it is impossible for our Majesty to not know that the Ministry of War can make such a “bold” move; in this case, what is the subtext that he did not stop, do you still need me to tell you?”
Sophia, who had already pressed the doorknob, was startled and turned around slowly, the smile on her face was as sarcastic as it was sarcastic.
“Oh… Who was I at that time? It turned out to be a respected jihadist hero, my dear brother, Your Excellency.” The girl smiled falsely, and did not forget to bow:
“I’m so sorry, but when you were talking just now, I almost thought it was our lord father sitting there!”
“If I remember correctly, Brother Ludwig, you seem to have always claimed to be the one between us who hated our father the most.” Sophia smiled and approached slowly:
“Why, the more you hate someone, the more you will become someone’s proverb, and it happens to work on you?”
“If you want to sneer, sneer. Anyway, our relationship doesn’t seem to be harmonious. I’ve almost gotten used to it after so many years.”
In the face of the yin and yang’s strange sister, Ludwig behaved quite calmly, and never took his eyes off the headlines in the newspaper “Reappearance of the Old Gods Gangs in the Outer City”:
“But if your ultimate goal is to keep the Storm Legion, going directly to the Osteria Palace is definitely the worst option, because it won’t make things any better, or even worse.”
“So you eavesdropped on my room?” Sophia’s eyes widened, and she sat down directly opposite Ludwig:
“Okay… Since you’re my brother, I won’t explain how disgusting this behavior is.”
“No, I’d rather you elaborate.”
Ludwig finally put down the newspaper and pointed to the servants in the living room: “Just with your voice just now, do you think I’m the only one who was forced to “eavesdrop”?”
Seeing everyone’s strange expressions, the girl’s face suddenly turned red.
“Really… so loud?”
“Let me recall, um… It seems that after the “unreasonable” sentence, I can’t hear it, you can also ask other people, because I really don’t want to know this.” Ludwig picked up the newspaper again:
“Of course it’s probably useless even if I try to stop you, so if you have to, just go.”
There is no reason behind this… Then don’t you just hear it? !
Sophia was angry and angry, and her heart skipped a beat; but she knew very well that if she did, she would definitely not be comforted by her brother, but ridiculed.
so…
“How to do?”
“Um?”
Looking at his sister who suddenly came down “quietly and well-behaved”, Ludwig was stunned and didn’t react, and his whole person completely froze: “What, what?”
“Why can’t I go directly to the Osteria Palace, and… what should I do to keep the Storm Legion from being charged by the Ministry of War?” The girl bit her lower lip and asked:
“Don’t forget that he is also your former subordinate. If Ansen Bach is accused of being a traitor, you will lose face, right?”
“Is that so? I’ve never really considered such a miraculous angle.” Ludwig touched his chin, and his indifferent face finally eased a little:
“As for the two questions you asked…it’s actually the same question, so I’ll just answer it directly. @ Essence/Book House*First update~~”
“Let’s assume that you really went to the Osteria Palace to make trouble, then your Majesty’s answer is nothing but two, know or don’t know.”
“But no matter which answer he answers, the next step is to face the wrath of the War Department, which is united and sworn to accuse the Storm Legion of treason, and you, the Governor of Ice Dragon Fjord.”
“Let’s analyze it objectively and without any emotion, which one do you think puts less pressure on His Majesty?”
This, does this even need to be said? Of course… Sophia’s face twitched slightly: “But the Storm Legion is innocent!”
“This is just your personal judgment… Well, what if it’s true?” Ludwig shook his head helplessly:
“The War Department is determined. (This chapter is not over!)

Do things, don’t they say “Oh, after a discussion it seems like we were wrong, so let’s end this”…Is it possible? ”
“If you talk to me in that little girl’s tone again, I’ll put the ashes on your face while you sleep.”
Sophia said with a cold face: “Politics has no distinction between good and bad, and interests come first. You don’t need to teach me about this kind of thing.”
“Then you already know the answer, why do you still ask me how to do it?” Ludwig asked back, shrugging indifferently: “Although I don’t want to get involved, I’m still curious about what step you can do. ”
Looking at Ludwig, who was incapable of oil and salt, the girl’s face became even more ugly. @ Essence/Book Pavilion · No mistake starting~~
Of course she knows what to do… It’s nothing more than attracting allies. As long as the forces that she unites can compete with the Ministry of War, things will naturally turn around. This kind of thing is not new to the dignified Franz eldest daughter.
But just because she knew this, she just suddenly thought that she could win over her brother first… With Ludwig’s reputation in the army, he could somewhat combat the arrogance of the Ministry of War.
At least he can win over the Franz family’s contacts within the Whitehall Street police… Although they are all relatives, the family heir is obviously more convincing than himself.
But Ludwig’s attitude has been very clear. He doesn’t want to get involved in this matter… And he claims to be Ansen Bach’s best friend. Is this your attitude towards friends? !
Sophia wanted to scold, but she also knew that she needed the help of this annoying brother, so… the silent girl took the coffee from the servant’s hand, walked slowly to her brother’s side, and put it down gently.
This kind of abnormal behavior frightened Ludwig: “What, what do you want to do?!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t pour coffee on your head.” Sophia smiled: “I actually know that supporting the Storm Legion at this time will push the Franz family into a head-on confrontation with the Ministry of War. .”
“Although the relationship between my father and His Majesty has always been very good, the members of the Privy Council and the wealthy families in the inner city will be willing to support us, but how much sincerity can this “support” be? Who can guarantee that we will not betray us for benefits at a critical moment?”
“In the end, the Franz family is just a tool they use to suppress the War Department. Even if it succeeds, it may not be appreciated.”
The girl sighed: “Think about the city of Clovis that was pacified by you at the time. If it wasn’t for the fact that all the standing troops were out at the time, and the guards had all the infamy on their backs, there was really no one to choose from. How could the Franz family be possible? With their “gratitude”, they can occupy so many high-ranking positions in the Whitehall Street Police?”
This… Ludwig’s eyes widened in response to Sophia’s gaze.
If it is Anson, his father, Roman, or even any of his own staff who are talking about this here, he will not be surprised.
But… Sophia…
A girl who is always emotional and is definitely not broad-minded, and analyzes the situation for herself so calmly and rationally…
“So, are you going to give up?”
“Of course not, but I will use a more concealed method that is not easily noticed by the people around.” Sophia shook her head:
“If the War Department wants to accuse the Storm Legion, first of all, of course, there must be charges, and secondly, they must not dare to make a big splash. After all, they really have no conclusive evidence – except that Ice Dragon Fjord has really been incorporated into the Free Confederation.”
“If that’s the case, then of course I can do the opposite, make everyone aware of this matter, and hype the benefits of Clovis’s alliance with the Free Confederation.”
“It certainly doesn’t really stop the War Department’s accusations, but it undermines what they’re trying to accomplish by doing so – to unite all the troops in Clovis.”
“Soldiers may really be so simple as to listen to what they believe, but doesn’t it depend on who is better at telling stories, telling more exciting, and more vivid? In this regard, the newspapers under my command and I can definitely defeat this. Groups eat ancient stone heads!”
The girl waved her fist confidently: “If even my own people start to question whether it is right or wrong to do so, the War Department will have a headache if it wants to come?”
“Using newspaper public opinion to attack your opponent… Not bad.” Ludwig nodded slightly in appreciation:
“But in this plan. (This chapter is not over!)

There is a small problem, that is, the Ministry of the Army can definitely guess who the boss behind the newspaper is. Once they detect that someone is “deceiving the army” and spreading false statements, they will definitely file a protest. ”
“They will definitely do this.” Sophia did not deny it: “But let the army enter the city to seal up the newspaper office, even if the Ministry of War is rampant, it can’t do it, right?”
Ludwig narrowed his eyes: “You mean…”
“Whitehall Street Police, in any case, it must be the police who will handle this matter in the end.” The girl finally showed her fox’s tail:
“You don’t need to open the net. People can be arrested. It doesn’t matter if the newspaper is closed, as long as you don’t touch my printing plant, and don’t embarrass my employees; .”
“The only request is for my dear brother to have a good word for his poor sister in front of his relatives, and have a good relationship up and down Whitehall Street – I’ll pay for it!”
“The idea is good, the requirements are not excessive, and there is progress.” Ludwig nodded in approval.
“That…”
“Don’t think about it, I won’t come forward.” Ludwig shook his head: “If the person who spoke was me, the uncles would think this was what the father meant, so it’s better not to create such a misunderstanding.”
“But, but…”
“But what, didn’t you plan to make them misunderstand like this from the beginning?”
“That…of course it’s…impossible…”
Sophia, who gritted her teeth, forced a smile.
“Well, that’s fine.”
Ludwig breathed a sigh of relief: “I won’t waste your time, let’s go quickly, and don’t go past the time off work on Whitehall Street.”
After speaking, he picked up the newspaper again, and focused on the latest current affairs in the outer city.
Sophia stood up expressionlessly, shorted the coffee cup on the table, and then…
“puff-”
Ludwig, who was doused with cold coffee, gave a wry smile, and when he looked up, he saw the back of the girl walking out of the living room, slamming the door behind him.
………………
“boom-!
!
”
He slapped the documents on the table heavily, and Carlos II’s unsightly expression trembled slightly, and he could hardly control his anger.
As the current king of Clovis, no matter inside or outside the palace, everyone agrees that His Majesty is a person who speaks very well and rarely gets angry at the same time. The coronation begins, the king who has been doing it for nearly twenty years.
Twenty years… No matter how the king is not in power, such a long reign has been enough to accumulate a deep authority, making the subjects extremely jealous, and dare not easily cross the thunder pool.
And now, there seems to be a slight deviation…
“I even arranged personnel in Beigang to intercept the Free Confederate mission. If the Storm Legion didn’t respond in a timely manner, even the Beigang City Council might have been wiped out?!” Carlos II’s voice was trembling:
“What does the Ministry of War think they are, how dare they do this?!”
“Loyal servant, Your Majesty.”
Archbishop Luther, who was sitting opposite him, bowed slightly: “And he is the only loyal minister.”
“Loyal minister?” Carlos II laughed angrily: “Doing a mission against a country without my permission and destroying the relationship between the two sides is considered a loyal minister?!”
“Of course, it is the most important mission of loyal ministers to let His Majesty not have to worry about state affairs and live in the palace.”
The main protagonist of Luther nodded as a matter of course: “This point has almost become the consensus of many “loyal ministers”, and then I sincerely suggest you, it is best not to break this concept easily.”
“Of course I understand that, since the day they abolished the Guards with good intentions, I have understood.” Carlos II snorted coldly:
“But the War Department has gone too far this time – if the mission really dies in North Harbor, the balance of Clovis City will be completely broken, and we really have no hope of forming an alliance with the Free Confederation.”
“Without sufficient imports of raw materials, you have to endure the extortion and extortion of the second-order dealers of Nakhir, otherwise many factories in Clovis will go bankrupt and a large number of workers will be lost. (This chapter is not over!)

People are unemployed, and the 100-year-old *** of the saints will come again…”
“Not to mention the fact that the Holy See is pressing hard now. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com insists on splitting Clovis into two parishes, trying to provoke independent voices in the south. If one is not handled well, it will affect those southern nobles. Their emotions make them feel that they are not valued by the capital…”
“Finally, the Rune family was sent away, but without the suppression of the apostles, all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods appeared all over the city of Clovis, making a mess of the law and order. No stop…”
The more he thought about it, the angrier Carlos II turned to look at Archbishop Luther: “When will they arrive?!”
“Who?”
“The mission of the Free Confederacy… ah, and the restless Storm Legion!”
“Today, Your Majesty.”
Archbishop Luther just finished answering, then took out his pocket watch from his pocket and glanced:
“To be precise, it’s three o’clock in the afternoon.”
