Chapter 82 Counterattack the King
The three of them chatted for a while, and Weiss said half-jokingly that Gunnieville would be considered a senior intelligence officer in the federal side in the future. If there is any movement in the Norman Empire, the royal family will definitely get the news first. Although she cannot directly participate in government affairs, she will have some contact. From this point of view, this marriage has its positive side.
Weiss was heartless, and as soon as he finished speaking, Nicholas rolled his eyes. Octavere had no good expression. It seemed that a woman's perspective was completely different from a man's way of thinking.
Octavell said: "I don't want my sister to be a senior intelligence officer and sacrifice her life. I would rather fight with the enemy on the battlefield and use marriage as a bargaining chip on the battlefield."
This is a man-made statement, as if a mother was about to send her daughter to a wealthy family, and she was actually only three or four years older than Weiss.
Nikola followed closely and said: "Although she is a concubine when she married the Norman Empire, she came from a country like the Federation that had an opposite relationship with the Norman Empire. She would be discriminated against and rejected by people in the first few years. In the first few years, she would definitely be under strict surveillance. It is almost impossible to get in touch with the enemy's government and military affairs unless the enemy deliberately let her contact."
Weiss spread his hands and said that he had no discrimination against women, nor did he mean to violate women's rights. He explained that because Gunnivel had said before that one of her dreams was to be an excellent intelligence officer, he thought about whether she had married into the Norman Empire with such a secondary purpose.
"I have already talked to her. If she really had this idea, even if it was only part of it, I would advise her to give up her thoughts sooner. Marriage cannot be played, and life will only be once." Octaveer continued to say in the tone of an old mother.
"I remember when Balas first came to Belakass to have a tryst with Guniville, I had a conversation with him. At that time, he seemed very opposed to making the news public. Now that he is willing to formally engage in Guniville, the news cannot be blocked. So, since he is willing to make it public, there must be some psychological changes. What exactly made him make such a decision? Does it mean that there have been some subtle changes in the power structure of the Norman Empire?"
Weiss's question did not point clearly to Nikola or Octavere, he wasn't sure either of these two or had the answer he wanted.
Octavell pondered: "In the Norman Empire, the two young princes, Albert and Balas, were not favored by people. They were counterattackers in the power struggle. For a long time, we have always felt that Albert suffered from a serious family genetic disease and may have passed away when he was young. However, there have been no such misdiagnosis or scams in the name of misdiagnosis in the history of the Norman Empire royal family. As for this prince, he has been unique since childhood. He is a military leader.
The genius of the domain, but also a rebel, is said to be not valued by their Hohenstaufen IV. The dead crown prince is the pride of heaven favored by all parties. Speaking of which, the unfortunate late crown prince was born by the first queen of Hohenstaufen IV, who had died more than ten years ago. Albert and Balas were both born by the second queen. Although the first queen had passed away for many years, her family had a close relationship with the old crown prince.
After the death of the old crown prince, the new crown prince and the interest groups represented by him naturally had a conflict and change in rights. In fact, Albert and Prince Balas belonged to different power factions. This kind of support is often consolidated and maintained through marriage and other means. The princess Albert married was the representative of the traditional western aristocrats who supported him. Therefore, people originally thought that Prince Balas would marry a woman from the Sederlinz family in the north with pure blood and prominent backgrounds.
The son is his wife, but he actually chose Guniville as his first wife. Not to mention what will happen in the future, at least at this point, he has taken quite boldly and abnormally. So far, we can't guess what his true intention is. If, as you had previously guessed, it is to better occupy and rule the Federation in the future, how can he solve the current problem? Could it be that he has only relied on the support of a few young talents of the Seedlinz family, or has he firmly grasped the military power?"
Octavere's series of rhetorical questions revealed many illogical speculations, which made the mystery of Balas's life even more confusing. Unfortunately, as a sister, there is no clear concept of what kind of person she is going to marry. Whether he is gentle or angry, sincere or cunning, bright or despicable, these conclusions drawn through various materials are often contradictory, or this is originally a very contradictory person.
Weiss looked at Nicholas and said, "Although my contact with him is not very certain, I think he is a very smart and decent person. At least in extremely dangerous times, he did not show any irritability or out of control, which shows that he knows how to control his emotions and is cunning enough. Think about it, at his age, he can take the position of Chief of Staff of the Norman Army. At least he has a legitimate background. At least he must have a reasonable ability and reputation. If he is not so outstanding, how can he capture Guneville's heart so quickly? You must know that our big stars are sought after by thousands of people in the Federation, and the pursuers can come from Liberty City to Ao City. What kind of men are not there!"
Nicholas chuckled: "Yes! Judging from his appearance, demeanor and manners, it does meet the image of the prince charming in the minds of thousands of girls, not to mention that he has a bright future in the Norman Empire. For most young unmarried women on this planet, this is indeed a very ideal marriage partner... If he does not have some strong political intention, it would be perfect!"
The last sentence is obviously the key to Nikolai's entire passage. She feels that this marriage is still a political activity. As for what purpose it wants to achieve, from the current situation, it can only be said that it is different from one's own opinion.
As the sun sets, the sunset in the sky is like a fiery red curtain. Is the curtain slowly opening or falling slowly? Is it opening an era or ending an era? Standing in front of the window, Weiss looked at such an ordinary and spectacular scene, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
According to the trade agreement of the Bellakasse Airport, the flying ships and ships traveled here landed and took off during the day and stopped at night. This was both for security reasons and a need for national defense. However, this time, for this grand and unique engagement ceremony, under the initiative of the Norman Empire, the Federation agreed to arrive at night.
In the night sky, a flying ship that didn't seem too large seemed to be flying from the west. The escorted ships were all stopped far behind the border line. Only it flew into the Monamolin Mountains alone and finally arrived at the Bellakasse Airport Port. In Weiss' special vision, it looked nothing special - it had neither strong protection nor strong firepower and special maneuver power, and it seemed to be an ordinary transport ship. When it approached, when the searchlight of the Bellakasse Airport Port swept through its metallic hull, Weiss suddenly realized that he had seen when visiting the Norman Empire.
That kind of luxury is fully reflected on this flying ship, even even more than that. It is like a flying palace, with a heavy superstructure above the hull, which is an unprecedented structure. From a military perspective, this towering superstructure is simply awful. It is not conducive to reducing cross-section, nor is it conducive to the balance of the hull in high-speed maneuvering, and it is even too easy to expose the unique outline during flight. However, from the perspective of comfort and viewing, the high bridge can overlook the entire ship and the earth, which gives a sense of dominance of the world.
In the registration book of the Bellakass Air Port, the ship that was about to arrive had only one very loud name: Crown. If it were in the Federation, it might be a Sikong name, but in a highly centralized monarchy like the Norman Empire, Crown was by no means a name that ordinary people or ordinary people could use. It meant power and status. If it weren't for knowing that Hohenstaufen IV had been in bed in the past few years, Weiss would have speculated that the war emperor had come here in a manner that would not be declared in advance.
With Balas' current identity, he would definitely not use such a flying ship openly. It was too ostentatious and did not conform to his personality. It appeared here entirely because his mother, the current queen of the Norman Empire, was going to attend the engagement ceremony. For Balas, the arrival of this queen was a huge affirmation and support for his view of choosing a partner, and perhaps, it was also a peak in his life.
The great man from the Norman Empire arrived at the Bellakass Air Port on a flying ship. Weiss, as the host, did not need to be respectful to please him on this night. In fact, the arrival at night was the Normans' request, and there was no such practice of night-in-time events in diplomatic occasions. According to the schedule provided by the Norman Empire, the great man would stay here for a few more hours a day and a night. During the day the next day, they would hold traditional activities such as tea parties with the prospective newlyweds and her family. At night, it was the formal engagement ceremony. The arrangement was basically to respect the habits of the Normans. The entire ceremony lasted for more than two hours, and there were as many as 24 items on the list. Although I had not experienced it, I would tremble when I read the list... The royal etiquette was really long. If it were in the Norman Empire, the pomp would definitely be even more extravagant.
Weiss has always been curious about what made the noble Norman royal family decide to come to this remote airport and condescend to hold such an engagement ceremony. If it weren't for the special relationship between the Norman Empire and the Federation, perhaps both parties should have been in places that are more suitable for the engagement ceremony, such as the capital of the Norman Empire or the Ao City where the woman's family is located. This is a compromise. Perhaps he has done a lot of work for this day.
The next morning, Gunnivel did not walk with Balas in the morning light like before. Only Balas was seen walking around the grass with a follower. The weather was getting warmer, and he was wearing a military cloak with a light gait, and he didn't look hesitant at all. Instead, he was full of expectations for the upcoming engagement ceremony. Before Weiss went over to chat with him, Gunnivel appeared on the lawn. She was not good at Norman, but she learned a little, and basic communication could still be carried out. She was waiting on the road to Balas, waiting for the other party to come to him... It seemed that as her sister, he would talk to the royal family member from a foreign country before the engagement ceremony, or to warn him. Weiss didn't know what they were talking about, and the two only talked for about ten minutes.
