The Rise of the European Emperor

"This is a declaration of (war)?" Marin, who received the information, was stunned.

"Well, it's announced!" Kohler nodded.

"Too sloppy..." Marin was speechless for a moment.

This is the 16th century, not the completely shameless 18th century. In the 18th century, European powers were able to change teammates in the name of the "Seven Years War", because at that time Europeans had thrown their sense of honor into the garbage heap and thoroughly pursued the diplomacy of interests.

But now, glory is still very popular in Europe, and you haven't thrown your face into the trash. This kind of shameless diplomatic method, it seems that only Marin, a traveler from later generations, can do it, right?

In fact, Marin did not know that the reason why Frederick III and others became shameless was actually the factor of learning from Marin. When the princes saw that Marin was so shameless and got so many benefits, their eyes were naturally hot. Therefore, this time, in order to achieve the strategic purpose of containing the Habsburg family, they did not hesitate to lose all their integrity...

After all, the princes were more afraid of the Habsburgs than the Marin. Why? No matter how strong Marin is, his background is too low to make a big splash in Europe, where blood is important. The princes were afraid of Marin, in fact, they were afraid that he would become the help of the Habsburgs to unify Germany, not that they were afraid of Marin himself.

But the Habsburg family is different. After Maximilian I became emperor, in theory, he had the right to unify the entire Holy Roman Empire. The premise is that the strength is enough to crush the princes.

Maximilian I already occupied the righteous name and was crowned the official emperor. Then, this means that as long as the Habsburg family has enough strength, they can send troops to unify the entire Shinra.

And if they occupied Switzerland, then the Habsburg family would be equivalent to a stable and very powerful source of troops. At that time, the Habsburg family may really have a chance to unify Germany...

Therefore, although the military strength of the Habsburg family is actually weaker, the princes of Shinra are most afraid of the Habsburg family who occupy the throne.

Under this circumstance, even though Marin seemed to be "in trouble", the princes still planned to move the Habsburg family for the first time, not the North Sea Kingdom that seemed to be declining...

...

"Don't worry, leave them alone, let's deal with domestic troubles..." Marin put down the information with a headache.

In fact, Marin really doesn't care about outsiders' affairs now.

Because, something happened to his precious son Caesar...

...

Of course, Caesar himself was healthy, and he did not encounter any bloody disaster, but was greatly stimulated mentally...

After learning that his father might never come back, Caesar, who was only 10 years old, suddenly collapsed...

The young Caesar buried his head in Angela's arms and cried all day long, his eyes were swollen, and he even cried "I want dad" in his dreams.

Angela was in a hurry, wondering if she wanted to tell the truth that Dad Caesar was still alive. But this was rejected by Marin, after all, there is no door in the mouth of a child. If you accidentally say omission, it will be for nothing.

However, seeing the child cry like this, Marin was also very anxious. If he broke his eyes from crying, would Marin still feel distressed?

After thinking about it, Marin decided to use other things to distract Caesar, lest he be too sad...

...

So Marin called Schwartz, Haider and others over and arranged for them to help enlighten Caesar. At the same time, encourage him to be strong...

That afternoon, Schwartz asked to see Caesar alone...

"Uncle Schwartz, isn't my dad coming back?" Caesar asked sadly with red and swollen eyes.

"Young Master, please rest assured, the Grand Duke is a disciple of Daxian, and with great luck, there will be no accident. I think, I should be back in a few months." Schwartz is telling the truth, Marin originally planned to Come out in a few months.

In fact, in the middle of the night, Marin sneaked through the tunnel to see Caesar a few times. It's just that Caesar was asleep at that time, I don't know.

"But...but I heard that the sea is very dangerous, and it is difficult to come back if something happens..." Caesar said uneasily.

"That's someone else, and the Grand Duke will definitely not be so unlucky."

"I'm afraid..." Caesar wanted to cry again.

"Young Master, you can't cry. Not to mention whether the Grand Duke will come back, even if he doesn't come back, you can't cry! You are a little man, the only heir of the Grand Duke. You are the only hope of Beihai Kingdom without the Grand Duke. , you can't cry like a little girl. For a little man, bravely taking on heavy burdens is the most appropriate performance!" Schwartz couldn't comfort him, so he said aggressively.

"Bravely take over the burden?" Caesar thought for a while, without nodding immediately. Because he was really confused...

"What should I do..." Little Caesar, who was only 10 years old, fell into contemplation...

"Are you studying now? Are you also learning Chinese?"

Little Caesar nodded...

But Schwartz frowned:

"This is not enough. As the successor of a grand duke, it is not enough to learn these. You also have to learn the art of war and tactics, as well as the knowledge of law, administration and other aspects."

After a pause, Schwartz continued:

"So, your afternoon play time has been temporarily canceled. In this time, you need to study military command with me, and sometimes go to Haider to study law and administration..."

"Then I don't have any free time anymore?" Little Caesar, who was still a child, was suddenly dumbfounded...

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight!" This is what Marin once said to Schwartz. Now, Schwartz uses it to educate little Caesar.

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight..."

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight..."

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight..."

...

Caesar repeated his face many times, and fell into deep thought...

...

It wasn't until it was dark that little Caesar, who was only 10 years old, woke up again, looking at Schwartz, who was full of concern and said:

"Uncle Schwartz, starting tomorrow, I will start learning the art of war with you, and at the same time learn law and administration with Uncle Haider!"

"Ah? Could it be... will it be too hard?" At this time, Schwartz was rather worried.

Before, Schwartz planned to do this to distract the grieving Caesar from having time to grieve.

But when he saw Caesar calm down, Schwartz didn't want Caesar to work so hard. Because he clearly felt that Caesar had calmed down. This way, there is no need to look for too many things to distract Caesar.

But Caesar shook his head and said:

"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight! My father also told me this sentence, but unfortunately I was young and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. Now, I understand!"

After a pause, Caesar continued:

"I am the only legal heir of my father, and the future Beihai Kingdom will definitely be inherited by me. Therefore, from today onwards, I can no longer play with Brother Robert and the others like a child. From today, I will take on the responsibility of the Beihai Kingdom. And first of all, what I have to do is to learn the military like Uncle Schwartz, and at the same time learn law and administration from Uncle Haider. Only in this way can I grow up quickly and take over the burden of the North Sea as soon as possible!" Speaking of which, young Caesar's face was firm...

From the second day, Caesar began to hold a golden crown worn by Marin every day, and let him make it smaller and wear it on his head, and began his study from morning to night. And on the crown, Caesar himself engraved the words "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight"...
