"Needless to say, Her Highness Euphelia is the governor of District 11. We must act according to Her Majesty Euphelia's will in both public and private matters. It is our honor to be able to work for Her Majesty Euphelia. Novel . ”
"Yes, all of us will stand unswervingly on Her Highness Euphelia's side."
One by one, the people present rushed to speak to Xiao Ran. Those who originally looked at Xiao Ran with dissatisfaction or fear, looked at Xiao Ran again with eyes full of closeness and respect, and seemed to have completely Everyone regarded Xiao Ran as one of their own, and the atmosphere was no longer depressing but became much more relaxed and friendly.
Xiao Ran smiled and accepted everyone's oath of allegiance to Euphilia, clapped his hands, took a glass of wine from Jeremiah's hand and raised it gently: "For the empire, for District 11, for Euphilia Your Highness, and for our own sake, cheers.”
"cheers!"
Titles and fiefdoms have become Xiao Ran's best bargaining chip to bribe these powerful people, but if he wants to get these, he must be on Euphilia's side. For many people present, this is not worth considering at all. The problem is, loyalty is loyal to anyone. There is no difference between loyalty to Euphilia and loyalty to Crowvis, loyalty to Cornelia, but when loyalty to Euphilia can bring them more benefits, then of course these people I will choose Euphilia without hesitation.
What's more, Xiao Ran not only placed benefits in front of them on behalf of Euphilia, but Euphilia herself was also the highest official in District 11 who completely held them hostage. Opposing Euphilia would mean that they would dominate District 11. They will be completely opposite to Euphilia. Don't talk about the benefits when the time comes. With all kinds of measures, it is estimated that even their current positions will not be able to be saved. If Euphilia wants to change their positions, it will be just a sentence if she really wants to change their positions. As for the matter, the empire in Dana also belongs to the Britannia royal family and has nothing to do with them.
Given the huge gap between the two different choices, some people expressed their loyalty to Xiao Ran and Euphilia without much hesitation. As for those who had other considerations, thoughts, or loyalty in their hearts Those who care about other princes can only follow the trend and make the same choice at this time.
And once someone remains silent or stands up to object, someone will definitely notice them, and by then, maybe even if Euphilia doesn't take the initiative to take action against these people, there is no telling whether Xiao Ran will let these people go and continue to let them stay. In District 11, those who have pledged their allegiance to Euphilia will not let them go so easily.
Xiao Ran doesn't care whether these people are following purely for loyalty, or following for profit, or even just following in pretense. These don't have much to do with each other. Of course it's good to have loyal people, but there are benefits. Only in this way can he maintain more loyalty. As for those who falsely swore allegiance to Euphilia due to the occasion and situation, Xiao Ran would naturally catch them one by one and try to deal with them. Moreover, this step is not yet Xiao Ran's decision to let Youphilia. Filia, or all the means he has to achieve complete control of District 11.
While drinking, Xiao Ran glanced at everyone in the conference room with eyes hidden under the mask with a smile. After taking the wine glass away from his mouth, he said again: "This time It would be best if everyone can be satisfied with the communication. Then Her Royal Highness Euphilia may launch some new policies for District 11. I also hope that all colleagues can cooperate and support us. Starting from this morning Work also requires everyone to work hard together.”
"What Your Highness Euphilia means is that the past can be forgotten. After all, that was before. Now that you have decided to be loyal to His Highness, it is tantamount to a new beginning. However, Your Highness must grasp the most specific and real situation in District 11. , so I hope that the report you submit tomorrow will be detailed enough."
"Okay, that's it for now. The deputies of your colleagues are still waiting in the Governor's Mansion. I don't have to go over there. The colleagues present can also tell them all what I just said, but no matter who it is, , As long as you can truly serve His Highness, no matter how big or small you are, you will definitely be rewarded if you have merit."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded to the people present, then turned and left the conference room. Jeremiah followed Xiao Ran, casually placed the wine glass he took from Xiao Ran on the table, and then left. into the conference room.
Following Xiao Ran, Jeremiah couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the conference room behind him after walking out of the conference room door. After Xiao Ran left, the atmosphere inside suddenly became more lively. Get up, at least in Jeremiah's eyes, everyone there had an excited and happy smile on their face.
Looking back, looking at Xiao Ran's calm back, Jeremiah wanted to ask if all this was really approved by Her Highness Euphilia, but the answer to this question had already appeared in his heart. No.
In the end, Jeremiah asked another question: "Teacher, is it inappropriate to divide titles and fiefs at random like this? The empire may not necessarily agree or recognize this kind of thing."
Xiao Ran said calmly without looking back: "The benefits are touching. Some people think that titles and fiefs are important, but some people think they are worthless. So what if they are thrown away to these people? No matter whether they are titles or fiefs, these things They can all be taken back at any time and will always be in the hands of Her Highness Euphilia. It just depends on who will be temporarily given to them for safekeeping. Whether the custodian is obedient or not, giving them some titles and fiefs will make them willing to rebuild. It has become In the ruined District 11, you can still take the initiative to ease the relationship with the people in District 11 for the sake of profit, don’t you think it’s worth it?”
"As for whether the empire will agree with the title and fiefdom, who can say clearly what will happen in the future. District 11 is already quite remote for the empire, and is not taken seriously except for Sakurashi. Moreover, once it becomes the real fiefdom of His Highness, , that’s not His Highness’s final say. As for the title, the Empire will have no choice but to agree.”
Jeremiah looked at Xiao Ran with a surprised look from behind. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Xiao Ran's last sentence, but in the end he nodded slightly and asked hesitantly: "Teacher... what were you doing before?" who?"
Xiao Ran stopped and said, "I am just an insignificant person to this world. The important thing is that now I will only do things for Euphilia. Okay, if you want to talk more, are you going to ask me about my purpose?" What? Hey, ask someone to prepare a room for me here, gather all the former guards of Kurowisi, and I will appear in his eyes before His Highness Zainari opens his eyes."
Jeremiah used to be the captain of Cullowis' personal guard, and he had great power in District 11. However, two consecutive incidents greatly reduced his reputation, and the person he was loyal to above his head also lost his reputation. It was replaced by Euphilia, so it can be said that even if Jeremiah has not been punished at this time, not many people are willing to pay attention to it, and the rights gained by relying on Kurovis are completely lost.
But now he is with Xiao Ran and Euphilia, and he has not gotten back what he lost due to some changes in status, but if he follows Xiao Ran's instructions, there won't be too many obstacles.
Xiao Ran's room was quickly determined by the steward of the Governor's Mansion. As a guardian knight, Xiao Ran's room was arranged on the same floor as Euphilia's room. However, perhaps because men and women had different relationships, the room was arranged on the same floor. The completely opposite corner was actually quite far away from Euphilia's room.
After entering the room, Xiao Ran looked around his room, then lay down on the bed with his clothes undressed and leaned on the pillow to fall asleep. After opening his eyes again, several hours had passed. During these few hours, there was no Anyone comes to disturb Xiao Ran's rest, although Xiao Ran doesn't care whether he can really get a rest in this little time.
When he walked out of the room, the sun had just risen, and there was silence in the Governor's Mansion. However, Xiao Ran knew that under this silence, there were countless people in the mansion who had not slept all night, whether they were attendants or guards. He is carrying out his work conscientiously and is always ready for any instructions.
When Xiao Ran quietly went to the lobby on the first floor of the Governor's Mansion, he saw Jeremiah who was sitting on chairs on both sides of the hall and resting. There were also people scattered on both sides sitting or standing or resting. There was a group of young people wearing red uniforms who were talking. There were about ten people at a rough count, some were men and some were women, but men made up the majority of them.
The footsteps caused by Xiao Ran's appearance were easily noticed by these people. Soon everyone, including Jeremiah and others who had closed their eyes to rest, stood side by side in front of Xiao Ran. They lowered their voices and saluted and said hello: "Sir Knight . ”
Xiao Ran glanced at the dozen or so people standing in front of him and nodded slightly: "The entire Guards shouldn't just consist of a dozen or so of you."
Jeremiah stood up and said: "The Guard is a special guard of the royal family. It is a special organic unit independent of the local garrison. It is an independent army and is the strongest combat force in District 11. It was originally loyal to His Highness Kurovese. , with more than 2,000 members, including a logistics department, a land warfare department, a kf pilot department, a flight department, an escort department, and a command department. All the members present are heads of various departments of the Guards."
"A prince's bodyguards can be so large?" Xiao Ran was a little surprised. He really didn't know about the size of the bodyguards before and asked: "In the empire, the bodyguards of every prince and princess are Is it on such a scale?”
Jeremiah said without hesitation: "Among all the personal guards, only the guards of Her Highness Cornelia and Her Highness Schneizeru can exceed the size and number."
Xiao Ran thought thoughtfully. The personal guard in District 11 originally belonged to Kurovis. The reason why Xiao Ran felt that this personal guard was a little over the top was probably clear. Besides, this dead guy didn't trust Eleven. In addition to the reason of local garrison in the district, he is also a guy who likes to show off and pay attention to dignity. It is quite normal to have such a large-scale personal guard, and there is another important point, that is Kulovi This guy Si has some bad ideas.
Kurovis not only regarded the Guards as his own protective force, but probably also regarded the Guards as a fighting force like Cornelia.
It’s easy to understand that Cornelia’s bodyguard is larger in scale. Cornelia’s bodyguard is a real main battle force, a force that needs to fight. Logistics and combat personnel add up to nothing. It is easy to exceed two thousand people. After all, combat requires more than just pilots and maintenance personnel. In this world, ordinary army units are also an important part of the combat force.
And Schneizeru is also one of the most powerful figures in the empire. He should still serve as the prime minister of the empire. He is also a frontline commander and the best candidate to be the next emperor. He has great power. As a member of the Guards, It is not surprising that the army led entirely by him is larger.
"I understand." Xiao Ran nodded, glanced at the people present and said, "You should be aware that I am the guardian knight of His Highness the Governor Euphilia. I also receive orders as the captain of the personal guard designated by His Highness. To reorganize the Guards, you cannot escape the original death of His Highness Kulowis as a Guardsman, so it is reasonable to disband the existing Guards and assign you to different places."
"However, the formation of His Highness's personal guard is obviously more important and urgent than dealing with your mistakes, so I decided to use the original personal guard of His Highness Kurovese as the basis to establish a guard belonging to His Highness Euphilia. If someone does not If you are willing to be loyal to Her Highness Euphilia, you can leave now."
"But if you choose to stay, then from now on you must be unconditionally loyal to His Highness and absolutely obey any of my orders. Those who cannot do so can leave now."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran paused deliberately, but none of the people present chose to leave. If the Guards were disbanded, or if one of them left the Guards, most of them would basically be sent to the frontline battlefield, okay Those who are a little bit will be assigned to ordinary troops. It is better to have personal guards who become members of the royal family. It is natural that no one will leave.
And after hearing Xiao Ran's words, he would not hold them accountable, and the faces of the people in front of him were more or less happy.
Xiao Ran said with satisfaction: "Very good. If no one leaves, it means that you are all willing to dedicate your loyalty to Your Highness Euphilia. I will not pursue the previous matter, and neither will Your Highness, but I also want to remind you. You guys, from now on, we must put His Highness’s safety first, and we will never allow the same situation as His Highness Kurowisi’s to happen again.”
"As for the Guards, for the time being, you, Jeremiah, will be responsible for assisting you. You will sort out the information of the Guards and hand it over to me. The other people will maintain the stability of the Guards, but they also need to be prepared. Next, I will Make some adjustments to the Guards, and establish a brand new department. Veretta will be responsible for establishing a Guards to provide protection for His Highness's safety at close range 24 hours a day. The selection of personnel is limited to women. The Guards are established. When I get up I'll let someone else take charge."—
