Rise of the Empire Total War

"Compared to Bandak, who has the second line of succession, you are not a direct member of the Carrera family. The blood flowing in your body is from the Stuart family of the Winster Kingdom. For the Ravana people For me, you are just a foreigner, and foreigners rule your country, and I believe many people will be more inclined to let Bandak, who already has the legal right of succession, become the new king, even though Bandak is a despicable usurper."

"Then what should I do?" Listening to Condela's explanation, Richard suddenly felt that things became difficult. He had never thought of this kind of problem before. What if the domestic nobles don't buy it? After all, he is just the grandson of the former king, a prince who came in exile from a foreign country.

"There is only one way." Condela took a step forward and looked directly into Richard's eyes, "In the name of Princess Stephanie, crusade against Bandark. There is no law in the Kingdom of Ravana that does not allow female royal family members to inherit the throne, so She is fully qualified to inherit the throne. Compared with Bandak, who launched a civil war to usurp the throne, the nobles are more able to accept the succession of the former king's heir."

Sir Frank on the side quickly understood what Condela meant, and he added one step ahead: "After Princess Stephanie inherits the throne, His Majesty can marry her to control the Kingdom of Ravana."

"That's right." Condela glanced at Sir Frank appreciatively, and then looked at Richard: "After marrying Princess Stephanie, you will be the king of the Kingdom of Ravana, and you will be able to use the power of the kingdom to give Winster Take revenge on the kingdom and take back the throne that should belong to you."

"At that time, you will rule the Kingdom of Winster, Princess Stephanie will rule the Kingdom of Ravana, and a powerful United Kingdom will dominate the Vadasia Peninsula under your leadership."

"The United Kingdom?" Richard couldn't help but smile wryly. This is really a big picture, but he doesn't know how successful the plan will be.

"I will take your suggestion, Condra." Richard said, he then changed the topic and shifted the topic to the next war: "We have entered the Mafugat Territory, and the local lord MacPherson He is an out-and-out coward. In every war, he would gather heavy troops in his hometown and build the city of Mattidot stronger than the shell of a tortoise.

But God bless, this time he led the army to take refuge in Bandak, and went to fight with his new master to the city of Ravana. Now the defense of Mafugat is empty, and we can pass here without any scruples. "

"Of course, we won't let these kingdom traitors who have defected to the Bundak rebels have an easy life, Commander Arvid and Knight Frank." Richard said, calling the names of the two lieutenants: "Both of you Lead the cavalry to attack the rebels left behind in various towns and villages, and requisition the food and grass that the army needs to consume."

"Understood, Your Majesty." The two agreed in unison.

Then, Richard continued: "We can't spend too much time in Mafugat. We must arrive at the city of Ravana when Bandak's foothold in Ravana city is not stable. Kondra, before you leave We must send envoys to announce the intentions and goals of our army to the whole country, and contact the nobles who are still loyal to the old king, so that they will give their support even if they do not send troops to help."

"Understood, Your Majesty." Condela nodded, then he remembered something and reminded: "Your Majesty, I think you need to discuss it with Princess Stephanie first..."

...

After the military meeting was over, Richard took several guards to look for Stephanie, but she was not in the camp. After some inquiries, the knights guarding Stephanie told Richard that Her Royal Highness ran to a nearby Relax in the woods.

? ? ?

It's okay to go to the woods to relax.

Richard could understand Stephanie's current mood. He had lost his mother and father when he was young, and he understood the grief of losing his father better than anyone else.

Soon, under the guidance of the knights, Richard came to the woods where Stephanie was, and he saw the girl sitting under the big tree at a glance, and she sat there quietly,

His eyes were blank, he stared straight ahead, even though the fallen leaves fell on his body, he didn't respond.

Richard sighed softly, couldn't help but slow down his movements, slowly sat beside her, and said to himself: "When I was 15 years old, General Jutian, who used to be very good to me, led When the imperial guards rebelled against the rebels and the imperial guards resisted the rebels, my father held my hand and said, "Richard, you are the only heir to the kingdom and my only child." You remember, you must live on, and you will take revenge on Zhu Tian when you grow up', it is precisely because of his words that I have been persevering and let me get to where I am today.

Stephanie, my dear cousin, you are the only heir of Uncle Lawrence who can avenge him. If you don't cheer up and avenge him, who can avenge him? Just relying on the young prince who was captured by Bandak in the city of Ravana? "

"No, I'm the only one who can avenge my father." Stephanie turned her head to look at Richard, her moving eyes were no longer as lively as usual, and were flashing with hatred, but this color soon dimmed, and she slowly Slowly lowering her head, she made a low and unwilling voice: "But, I'm just a princess, I have nothing, and the only force I have is the knights my father allocated to me..."

"Who said you have nothing?" Richard interrupted her aloud, he stretched out his hand to embrace Stephanie's trembling body in his arms, and said in a low but firm tone: "You still have me , you still have tens of thousands of brave Kuban soldiers, we will be your solid backing, and your capital for revenge against Bandak.”

"You..." Stephanie was startled, and looked up at Richard. Before she could say a word, Richard's mouth (harmony) stuck on her and blocked her mouth. After a while, he finally Panting and separated from Stephanie, without waiting for the latter to speak, said: "Remember Uncle Lawrence asked me if I would like to marry you six years ago, and now I can tell you, I am willing."

"You..." Stephanie just looked at Richard like that for a long time before she nodded and said, "I understand, but after I regain the city of Ravana and kill Bandak, I will be with you marry."

"As the new queen of the Kingdom of Ravana," Richard said.

"As the new queen of the Kingdom of Ravana." Stephanie nodded and repeated.

At this moment, Stephanie instantly understood Richard's intentions, but she did not make it clear that Richard wanted to use her status as the third successor to declare war on Bandark, thereby controlling the Kingdom of Ravana. Didn't she want to use Richard's army to avenge the usurper?
