Chapter 14 Caroling, Caroling, Caroling (6)
The Duke of Brittany shook his head disdainfully at first: "You are completely a woman's mind, too narrow." But after thinking for a while, his brows frowned slightly: "No way? Is it impossible? The consul of the Allemany Federation will really attack me for a woman?"
He remembered that Caroling was a person who didn't like to show off. Even at the banquet that welcomed him, he hid quietly in the corner and didn't speak. How could he fight with the nobles to grab the second floor of the opera house?
Once the doubt arises, it is unstoppable. He remembered the abnormal performance of Carolin when he was in Mele. After all, it was a strange thing that Carolin would escort Navarre's fallen princess to the Principal of Brittany. The Principal of Brittany is closer to Navarre than Paris. The coup in Navarre was happening. He did not get any detailed information yet. Why did Carolin escort the princess back? Is there really no connection between Carolin and Princess Navarre?
"No, it's impossible." The Duke of Brittany tried to suppress this skepticism, "I asked him at the banquet at that time! I asked him if he wanted to prompt the marriage, and he replied that he was just escorting the princess over. If he wanted to protect the princess who lost his country, just tell me directly!"
"After all, it's your fiancée. Even now, it's still nominally." The little maid replied, "Do you think other men will honestly report your relationship with your fiancée?"
"Nonsense!" the Duke of Brittany scolded, "Get back!"
The little maid nodded helplessly, took three steps back and then turned away. But the Duke stopped her from behind: "Wait...you go and visit the consul of the Allemany Federation for me."
"I'll go?" the little maid turned around.
"This is a private matter that is not worthy of publicity, and it is inconvenient for others to go. Please ask him vaguely. If this matter is really planned by him... tell him that he can stop. Just a woman, if he doesn't need to make a big fight, I can just hand it over to him and take it back."
The little maid's face sucked strangely: "Let him take it back?"
"The Almani Federation is much stronger than the Navarre Kingdom, and the covenant with the Almani Federation is much more important than the covenant with the Navarre Kingdom." The Duke of Brittany said, "He wants to bring the princess back, so let him take it back; if he wants me to complete the engagement with the princess, I will marry her upright; if he wants to restore the princess for the princess, I will assist in sending troops. We are allies, and we don't need to hide it. If you have any requests, just tell me directly, and I will agree."
"Affect the order."
The little maid bent her waist deeply. It was not until the Duke left that she slowly lifted up.
Then, she angrily kicked away a stone on the side of the road.
The Count of Ile de France is discussing the next action with the Red Knife, White Bow and Black Balance.
"It's been a day." The Earl of France asked, "Have there any changes in the security guards in the capital? Is there any place that has specially strengthened the defense?"
"I haven't noticed any changes in the defenses of other places except for the attacks in the south of the city." Bai Gong said, "Of course, it may also be due to insufficient intelligence. It is more difficult to inquire about intelligence now than yesterday. As soon as the theater incident broke out, many local nobles had no good eyes on us."
"Insufficient intelligence is better than being brought to the door with guards." said the Earl of France. "I will of course stay in the theater in the next few days. You will continue to investigate and find out about Princess Navarra, and come to the theater to find me."
"Consul, I understand your determination to rescue Princess Navarra." Hei Tianping said, "Since that's the case, can we go back to Paris to mobilize the army? You don't need to take such a few people to take risks."
The Count of Ile de France shook his head: "No. First, my army must be guarded against the Duke of Aquitaine. Second, this is my private matter. Third, Mary probably wouldn't allow me to start a war for the princess of Navarre...."
"Mary, Mary, Mary." Hongdao twitched, "Consul, you may not like to hear these words, but you are the ruler of the Almany Federation, and there is no need to follow Mary's thoughts in everything."
"This is not a matter of obedience or not." The Earl of France shook his head again, "Mary and I are destined to bear the fate of the Carolingians. So at least before she reaches the age of marriage, I want to keep her alive without worries."
The room was silent for a while. It took a long time before it was broken by a knock on the door.
"Consul, someone is looking for you," said the person outside the door, "she said she brought a private letter from the Duke of Brittany to you."
"Here you come to ask for punishment." The Earl of Ile-de-France sighed, "Bring it in."
"What do you think the Duke of Brittany will say?" Bai Gong asked the people present.
The black flat poured some tea into the Count of Ile de France and his own tea cups as if nothing had happened:
"Since he has written a letter, it means he is not going to let it go; he cannot make any statement on it, and he is still the one who makes a fool of himself; he cannot stop supporting us because there is no support at all; he is even less likely to declare war on us, and the Principality of Brittany will be destroyed. So the last choice is only one - to condemn our actions. In order to appease the nobles, he needs to find an occasion to condemn us in person. And secretly writing a letter in the middle of the night should be to collude with us in advance, so as not to get out of the Taiwan Strait."
While speaking, the little maid was taken into the door by the soldier. The red knife, white bow, black flat and the Count of France were a little surprised by the cloth covered in her eyes. The little maid noticed the reaction of everyone and hung her head down with discomfort, and did not speak for a long time.
Finally, the Count of Ile-de-Isle of France and others were a little impatient and asked first: "Where is the letter?"
"No letters." The little maid whispered with her head down, "I am the maid serving Princess Navarra. The Duke of Brittany did not send me over at all. I came here secretly in his name."
Hearing the three words "Princess Navarra", the Earl of France was surprised, but his tone could only keep it as stable as possible: "What are you here for?"
"Please save Princess Navara." The little maid's voice was filled with a hint of crying. "The Duke of Brittany put her under house arrest and tortured her with various tortures every day. She has already...he is almost unable to hold on."
