Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel
Chapter 98 Count Augusta
Ronald thought about the scene of meeting Derek many times.
According to his impression, it might be a northern knight riding a horse and waving a whip.
It might also be a majestic nobleman sitting upright.
It is not impossible to torture slaves on the spot.
But he never expected that the Derek he saw for the first time was wearing casual clothes and sitting in a huge open carriage.
Some facilities on the carriage had been removed, and some traces of the remains could be seen.
Shield walls were erected around it, and a table was placed in the middle, with piles of parchment on the ground.
The notorious Viscount Derek talked to him while looking at the documents.
"Governor, please wait a moment, wait for me to deal with these documents."
With such a large territory and a lack of enough clerks, Derek was naturally very busy.
The days of eating, drinking and having fun every day were actually very few.
If you don't deal with affairs for one day, it's okay.
If you don't deal with them for two days, it's okay.
But if you don't deal with them for five or six days, there will definitely be trouble.
If it is not dealt with for a month, a riot may be brewing.
Ronald was surprised to see Derek flipping through the documents quickly and then giving instructions.
After a while, the other party stretched his body and shifted his gaze to Ronald, who was surprised to find that the latter was still standing.
"Your Excellency the Governor, why are you still standing? Please sit down."
Ronald sat down awkwardly.
He didn't know if he was acting or really so diligent.
Derek came forward very sincerely and took his hand, saying enthusiastically: "It's just right for your Excellency the Governor to come. I have too many things to do in my territory, and I have to take care of the affairs of the occupied area. It's too tiring.
After you come, the government affairs of St. Peter will be handed over to you as soon as possible.
By the way, I heard that the new St. Peter Legion is going to be formed. Where is the legion commander? The crazy harassment of the Holy Cross people has made me lose a lot of hair recently."
Ronald smiled stiffly and tried to shake off the other party's strong hand.
This Viscount Derek is really not a good person.
What does it mean to transfer the political affairs of Saint Peter Province, and what does it mean to look forward to the arrival of Saint Peter Legion Commander?
The former means that you should not interfere in the political affairs of Saint Mitre Province, which is a benefit for you.
But can Saint Peter Province compare with Saint Mitre Province?
His Majesty the King was unable to send the Governor of Saint Mitre Province due to his previous promise. The Governor of Saint Peter Province just wanted to take back the power in a different name.
This is also because the Northland Knights are too fierce. They thought it was good to defend Saint Mitre Province, but they didn't know that they occupied more land, and even His Majesty the King had to regret it.
The latter is even more of a pit. The occupied territory of Saint Peter Province is just between Saint Mitre Province and the Kingdom of the Holy Cross.
The pressure from the Kingdom of the Holy Cross is all on Saint Peter Province.
If Derek retreats and builds behind closed doors, the Saint Peter Legion Commander who takes over will be in trouble.
It should be defended, otherwise what do you, the Legion Commander, do?
And if they hold on, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, not to mention restraining the Northland Knights, it would be a miracle if they don't ask for help.
If you can't hold on, then you are a waste, and the king is even more embarrassed to interfere.
The king's intention is to interfere in the affairs of the Saint Mitre Province in the name of the Saint Peter Province.
But things that are not presentable, the Northland Knights will never be presentable if they don't recognize them.
I thought the king's name could make the Northland Knights give in, but now...
Ronald's smile was very stiff, it was too painful.
And... he didn't want to argue with Derek anymore.
Seeing that you can't get it, why humiliate yourself.
He shook his hand and took out the canonization document.
"Viscount, I actually have another mission this time. In view of your achievements, His Majesty the King has decided to canonize you as the Earl of Augusta, and grant you new land, as well as some blank canonization documents."
These are all things that should be given. If the king doesn't give them, the Northland Knights will not give up.
The blank document was a favor, and it was also a tacit consent to give the Holy Cross Kingdom a reward.
Obviously, King Louis knew the nobles' virtues very well.
Letting Ronald announce this matter was also to increase the incense.
Logically, Derek should kneel on one knee to express his gratitude.
But the latter took the enthronement document directly and put it on the table.
"Does His Majesty have any other instructions?"
"The king hopes that after the situation in the north stabilizes, you and the new nobles will go to the capital to complete the enthronement ceremony."
That is, the war is continuous, otherwise he should have met the king long ago.
Ronald secretly looked at Derek's expression and found that the latter had a serious face and did not show any perfunctory.
"I will do it as soon as possible. When the north is safe, I will definitely go to meet the great king.
Our family has always been a loyal supporter of the royal family. We have been loyal for generations. I, Derek, am absolutely loyal to His Majesty."
For a moment, Ronald felt that this Viscount Derek... no, it should be called Earl Augusta, is really a loyal minister of the kingdom.
Defending against foreign enemies, expanding territory, which one is not done by a loyal minister?
However, his reason told him that Earl Derek was definitely not simple.
Regardless of whether he was a loyal minister or not, he was definitely a powerful minister.
The gentle and young Derek in front of him could never match the arrogant, cruel and ruthless image in his impression.
As the two talked, Ronald tried to learn more about the situation in the North and get the support of Count Augusta.
However, Derek was slippery and seemed enthusiastic, but he didn't make any promises.
Until Virut quietly got on the car and whispered: "Viscount, it's time for you to exercise, and lunch time is almost here."
Derek immediately stood up and said to Ronald: "Sir Governor, will you get off with me?
Excuse me, the knights of the North are not like the nobles of the capital. Martial arts are our life-saving guys, and we can't delay it no matter how busy we are."
"I just want to see the style of the earl." Ronald followed suit.
Of course, he also wanted to see the true level of the knights of the North.
After getting off the car, he found that the Knights had already set up camp temporarily when the two were talking.
The key is that there was no movement, but even the ground was flat, which was a bit exaggerated.
Derek put on the protective gear very naturally and hooked his finger at the knight who brought him here.
"Viru, come and show me a few moves."
Viru's face immediately fell. It's true that he likes training, but that doesn't mean he likes being abused.
But the Northern Knights are not allowed to say no.
"Count, can we change someone next time?"
Viru put on the protective gear with a sad face, and he quickly changed his address.
"Of course not, your strength is still not enough, you need me to train you."
After Derek finished speaking, he said to Governor Ronald: "It's a good opportunity for Governor Ronald to teach you."
Ronald's pupils shrank, and the muscles hidden in the loose clothes tightened.
Derrick smiled mysteriously, some things can be hidden, and some can't be hidden.
The hands that hold the sword for a long time are different from those of ordinary people.
A self-disciplined knight is a strong foundation.
Derrick also heard what Viru said under the car before.
If this Governor Ronald really makes a move, he may really have a chance to draw the sword.
