I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 102: He is really a prince (Part )
Dirac did not believe that the so-called Prince Chris was real.

As a former ceremonial officer of the Bagnian court, Dirac knew the royal lineage better than other Bagnian nobles, and he scoffed at the so-called Prince Chris.

Because Dirac knew that the youngest prince of the royal family had long been sent to the Bohemian Empire as a hostage. There had been no news for so many years and he might have died long ago.

Even if he didn't die, how could he return to the Kingdom of Bagnia?

So, the Prince Chris who sniped me last night must be fake.

I heard that the Retalia Empire is interested in intervening recently, so this team must be supported by them, or they are simply Retalia soldiers in disguise.

Therefore, this meeting was a trap, an action carried out by Dirac to kill the false prince and to protect the honor of the Bagnian royal family.

The two fully armored knights are not the killer weapons, they are just two decorations to attract the enemy's attention. The real killer moves are others.

Only now, when Dirac saw with his own eyes the young man in a green coat, a woolen hat, and a somewhat strange dress, he wavered.

It doesn’t matter what the young man is wearing; what matters is his face, his demeanor and his aura… They look alike, so alike.

Dirac looked Chris up and down. He stared at the latter for a long time, then he sighed deeply, raised his left hand that was under the table, placed it across his chest, and bent slightly.

"Your Highness, it's an honor to meet you."

Count Dirac's posture was elegant, and his etiquette in saluting Chris was impeccable.

On the contrary, Chris, whose theoretical status was higher than Count Dirac, raised his eyebrows, leaned forward and looked directly into Dirac's eyes after the former saluted and greeted him.

"You ever met me?"

"Of course, as the royal etiquette officer, Your Highness, I have been fulfilling the duties of a noble in the palace for five years since you were born, until the king deemed me unfit for the position of etiquette officer."

Dirac didn't continue speaking. He looked deeply into Chris's face.

"You haven't changed much. The mole on the corner of your eyebrow is still there, and your facial features are almost identical to His Majesty's when he was young, especially those deep brown eyes. I've never seen them on anyone other than members of the royal family."

Oh, he is an old nobleman of the Kingdom of Bagniya.

Chris suddenly became interested. He felt that he could get some useful information from the earl.

On Earth, the noble titles of every country are different. Without mentioning China’s aristocratic system, let’s just talk about the earls in Europe.

The earl in England is the title of the local chief executive, who is responsible for managing a county.

The French "Count" inherited the "Count" of the Roman Empire. It was originally a trusted official of the emperor, later evolved into a local chief executive, and finally became a hereditary noble title.

The title of Count in Germany is even simpler and more crude... Count directly means the military leader of the Germanic tribe, and later became the title of feudal lord.

The title of Earl represents different meanings in different countries. The same is true for the title of Earl in the continent where Chris is now.

The Count of the Bohemian Empire represented military responsibility and territory.

The Earl of the Kingdom of Bagnia is a title unique to court nobles. The Earl can obtain special military funding from the state to form a private army. When war breaks out in the country, the Earl will lead this army into the war.

Therefore, Count Dirac was undoubtedly a truly powerful noble and general within the Kingdom of Bagnia. As for Count Dirac's rank of colonel, according to Chris's memory, it didn't exist in the original Kingdom of Bagnia. Its presence was likely a product of the Restoration Army's learning from the Bohemian Empire's army.

"Your Highness, I don't understand why you are here."

Count Dirac spoke cautiously.

"Why don't you look for us, the nobles who are still loyal to the king?"

This is a really good question. Chris didn't know how to answer it. He thought about it seriously and felt that there was no need to lie, so he decided to tell the truth... Anyway, he didn't expect the nobles of Bagnia to surrender to him.

With the players, Chris doesn't need the support of the nobles. What's more, what he is going to do now and in the future is undoubtedly digging up the roots of the nobles. It would be strange if the latter would support him.

“When I was in Neama, my eldest brother, Prince Flower, was assassinated. He survived, and then I found out the next day that the assassin who assassinated him was one of my men.

Although this was not my order and I did not instruct them to do so, if I did not escape, the consequences would not be good, so I ran away.

Then when I returned to my country and saw the widespread famine, I felt that I should do something for the people of Bagnia.

I've been hungry, so I know what it feels like to be hungry. People shouldn't die of hunger. Dying from hunger is too cruel."

Chris's expression and tone were so sincere that the old earl couldn't help but believe the former, and then the latter was stunned after he realized what was going on.

Assassination, escape... The order was not given by me, but the assassin is my man, what does this mean! ?

Count Dirac's mind raced for a while, and soon he understood what Chris had said, and then he couldn't help but imagine something unnecessary.

As a court noble, Count Dirac had seen too much of the mess among the nobles and within the royal family.

Although the current old king who fled to the Kingdom of Minisia is a peaceful person, the eldest prince is also a good man who likes art more than politics.

Even so, a lot of troubles happened to the Bagniya royal family... The emergence of a revolutionary party in the kingdom led to the subversion of the royal family's rule over the country. This incident itself shows that the royal family is not an innocent white lotus.

Therefore, after Count Dirac heard what Chris said, he already felt that the latter was an ambitious person.

The person who was assassinated was mine, but the order was not given by me...The correct answer is to listen to this sentence in reverse.

The assassination attempt failed, and Prince Flower was safe and sound during the assassination... The assassination attempt was successful, and the eldest prince died in the assassination.

Because until now, Prince Flower is still in the Bohemian Empire and has not returned.

Prince Chris must have escaped because the assassin he sent out was captured. The Bohemian Empire had something on him, and if he didn't leave, he would become a puppet.

Prince Chris was showing off his abilities by being able to secretly return to the Kingdom of Bagnia while being pursued by the Bohemian Empire.

Count Dirac suddenly understood.

Chris, who was sitting opposite the old man, was completely confused. His expression changed so complicatedly, from confusion to thought, and finally to sudden enlightenment. The wrinkles on his face that could kill a fly were stretched out.

Did Count Dirac have a rich imagination and add something superfluous to what I said?
