First prince, pick up your integrity

Chapter 4

What can happen in three months?

It is possible for Andre to complete a major exchange of blood between the court and the opposition, and the concubines and princes who are favored in the court can be beheaded or demoted to common people. Of course, it is impossible to include Ludwig's greatest enemy, Princess Ellie and her sons.

How could it be possible for two concubines who had been in the palace for less than three years to cultivate cronies who dared to poison the food of the emperor and princes, how could it be possible to bribe nearly half of the officials in the ruling and opposition parties, and how could it be possible to stuff nearly one-third of the Royal Knights? One's waste?

The answer is of course impossible.Everyone can see that it must have something to do with Ellie.But if you move the whole body with one hair, some people can't move, some people don't move when the time comes, and some people are reluctant to move.Ludwig knew exactly which kind Ellie belonged to in Andre's mind.As long as there is no definite evidence to prove that Ellie did everything, Andre will always believe that Ellie is innocent and is his favorite white lotus.

This is the blindness of love, only those who have been hurt can see clearly, and know how stupid it is to indulge in it.

"Your Highness, it's almost time." The new servant Wen Si carefully approached Ludwig and saluted.

Wen Si is a novice who is younger than Ludwig, such a young person will not be able to do everything, but at least it can prevent this person from being used by others or specially trained, and being sent out with a plan. come to yourself.

"Are you going to the training ground to practice swordsmanship today, or let the magic teacher come over?"

Ludwig continued to lie on the sofa and did not reply immediately.

In fact, take the time to think about it carefully, anyway, he won’t become the king of the country, why bother to work so hard, in a few years, Ellie, Vincent, and Angus will naturally have Duke to clean up , He really didn't need to make himself so tired, it might be good to enjoy the past few years.

Conrad's Iron Cavalry and Otto's Royal Knights were not at the same level a long time ago.Revenge is so tiring, and it is so unrealistic to deal with that person, maybe I choose to die like this, and it may really be a good ending to never see that person again.

Ludwig wanted to spend the past few years doing nothing, of course, if he had the opportunity, he would trip up Ellie and the others.But Andre didn't allow it. He could accept that his son was persecuted and his qualifications deteriorated, but he couldn't allow his son to be a waste who didn't work hard.

It's just that it's a little harder than ordinary people to practice fighting spirit, so it's not impossible to practice it?And even if you really can't practice it, you can still learn magic!

Therefore, Ludwig had one more teacher than the other princes, a magic teacher, on the third day when he "accidentally" practiced fighting qi.

"I don't think it's possible for you to improve your swordsmanship so much, so let's take the route of both magic and martial arts. You are already far behind your younger brothers, so don't lie on your bed all day long." The palace is lifeless, like someone owes you something, it doesn't look like a royal family at all."

Shuangxiu of magic and martial arts is indeed a way to quickly become a strong person, but the price in exchange for rapid growth is that neither magic nor battle qi can reach an advanced level.Ordinary aristocrats would not let their children take the route of both magic and martial arts, only those mercenaries who were eager for quick success or some extreme fighters would give up their future growth and take this path.

Parents arrange teachers for themselves in the hope that they will get better and better, but what Ludwig feels is persecution.

"Because of my existence, the woman you once loved died of dystocia, and the woman and child you love now cannot become queen and crown prince. Do you hate me that much?"

In this case, Ludwig said, in his previous life, he just wanted a fair treatment.

But what Andre gave him was a slap in the face, fourteen days of imprisonment, and fourteen days later the news that Ellie was named queen.So he will not say this a second time, because in this way, the glory of the queen will still belong to his mother Yesia, that beautiful woman recorded in the annals of history, the female knight who once led Otto to glory ...

Maybe Yexia would really like him to continue studying swordsmanship, but what if he can't learn it?To be ridiculed and regarded as a stain on Andre and Yesia as before?The father and the emperor don't care anymore, but the mother... can't!If he was ruined because of both magic and martial arts, then all the faults were his father's, not his, nor his mother's.

Very good, an option that couldn't be better!

After thinking about this, Ludwig decided to start his first magic class, and told Wen Si, "I don't want to go to the training ground, call the teacher here."

"Okay, Your Highness." Hua Si nodded, but he didn't go down immediately, and there was still some embarrassment on his face.

"Anything else?" Ludwig asked.

"Your Highness, that knight...is still outside." Hua Si hesitated, but said it out anyway.

"Still there?" Ludwig was surprised, "How many days is this?"

"It's the eighth day, and I come every day." Wen Si shuddered as he spoke.Such a cold day made him feel cold even standing outside, and the knight knelt on one knee for more than a week. He would definitely not be able to bear it if it was changed.

"It's really..." Trouble.How could he have forgotten that heroic men like Duke are those guys who insist on getting back up wherever they fall, and if they knew about it, they would have thrown him out of the palace even harder.

Forget it, just see him one more time, so as not to bother you anymore.

"After today's class is over, if he is still there, let him come in to see me." Although Ludwig said a hypothetical sentence, he knew very well that Duke would make this sentence an affirmative sentence.So when he listened to the old magician babbling about a bunch of legends and anecdotes that three-year-olds knew, he was not at all surprised that Duke appeared in his palace.

"Tell me, what is your answer this time." Ludwig didn't mean to make Duke stand up. Since it was a humiliation, why worry about the other party's feelings.

"The most important thing for a knight is loyalty, and do everything possible to satisfy His Highness's request. If His Highness really has no attachment to this world, I will fulfill His Highness's wish and follow His Highness." Duke said that he studied a Many months of answers.

This answer was not what Duke really wanted, but he felt that this answer should be what Ludwig wanted.For more than a month, this excellent knight not only searched through all the knight commandments, but also inquired about Ludwig.When someone mentioned the word "loyalty" that Ludwig emphasized to the guards on the day he killed them, he suddenly understood.

For a Ludwig who used to be surrounded by spies and didn't know who to trust and who not to trust, he was surrounded by factors that made him uneasy, and what he was looking for might not be the best knight. But must be the most loyal knight.In this case, regardless of whether the order is right or wrong, completing the order is the answer Ludwig most wanted.

Duke guessed half right, and this answer really satisfied Ludwig, but what he was satisfied with was not Duke's loyalty, but Duke's saying that he would kill him.Kill him... This is an ending that Ludwig had thought of before, and it would be nice if Duke really did it a few years later.

Ludwig nodded in satisfaction, and told Wentz, "Find someone to bring him a second-class knight's ribbon." Then he turned to Duke who was kneeling on the ground and said, "This answer is much more decent. I will return the ribbon to him." Here you go, I hope you can really do it when the time comes. Go down." Come on, don't bother me in the future, what a troublesome guy.

Wen Si took a blue ribbon and handed it to Duke, muttering unbearably in his heart, he thought it was a big deal, it turned out it was just for a ribbon, these knights really don't understand.

Ribbons are important, of course, but there is one more thing that matters to Duke.

"Your Highness, I wish to be your knight." Duke did not accept the ribbon from Wentz, but continued to kneel on one knee.This is the real goal of Rider Rider!

"You?" Ludwig sneered, expecting a man who would become the leader of the rebel army to be his knight?Ludwig's thinking is not so developed yet.

"Yes, I hope Your Highness will give me this chance! I will become the best knight!" Duke clenched his right hand to his left chest, his eyes full of sincerity and firm belief.It is the essence of Duke to become more courageous after setbacks, because Ludwig said that he is not qualified, and now he is almost determined to follow Ludwig, and Ludwig must admit that he is the best knight!

"You can't." Ludwig felt ridiculous. His long blond hair was curly hanging on his shoulders, his whole back was completely leaned on the sofa, and his whole body exuded a kind of Duke's indescribable laziness.

"I can, please believe me." Duke didn't dare to look directly at Ludwig, so he could only secretly glance at Ludwig's expression. According to the regulations, his action was considered disrespectful, but he now It's just that I can't help being nervous, and when I get nervous, I want to see Ludwig's face.

"Anyone can, but you can't!"
