Successors of all mankind

“Your Highness understands, so there’s no need for these formalities; they’re pointless. Now, I’ll go see Robert.”

"Ah, yes... sir. But why are the royal knights following you?"

Before Yu Le could speak, the royal knight behind him bowed his head and said:

"Sir, because we must protect the Duke."

The Duke must be protected?

Is it because Serena Windsor is the Duke of Albion, or is it the Duke of Giese that I understand her to be?

Anna, somewhat unsure how to react, stepped aside.

Yu Le followed suit and went into the room behind her.

Looking at the traveler who was still lying in bed, unconscious.

Yu Le, somewhat amused, pulled up a chair and sat down beside his bed, then said to him:

"Robert, I know lying down for a long time is uncomfortable, but if you're going to pretend to faint, shouldn't you be careful about messing up your shoes when getting in and out of bed?"

Hearing the sound of music and hearing these words, the traveler opened his eyes in disbelief and peered out, saying:

"Is it? Didn't I set it up already?"

What he found was the shoes he had laid out himself.

"Ah... sir, what brings you here? And... why are all the lords here as well?"

Just as Anna was somewhat at a loss for how to deal with it, the traveler was also not quite clear about the current situation.

The room was very soundproof; he couldn't hear any noise from outside.

In fact, the other soldiers and officers along the way were just as puzzled as they watched the royal knights following Yu Le as his guards.

Royal knights serve only the royal family; in theory, they do not follow anyone else.

Just as Yu Le was about to answer, he heard the female knight behind him lean in and whisper a few words in his ear.

"Really?"

Yu Le was a little surprised.

"Yes, this is a message from the Emerald Princess, Master."

Yu Le paused for two seconds, then looked at the traveler again, his eyes filled with an indescribable meaning.

"Guess what I just heard, Robert?"

He asked.

The traveler warily glanced at the group of motionless royal knights behind Yu Le, then at Yu Le's expression, and swallowed hard.

"Sir, I feel a lot of pressure asking you that question."

Seeing this, Yu Le, who had always found this guy very interesting, also became interested and wanted to continue teasing him.

After all, the scene of him screaming and running away at the gate of Robespierre Manor is still fresh in my memory!

"The head of the Lorraine family, the Prime Minister to the Sun King, admitted to the Sun King that his son had colluded with Bourbon II and orchestrated the attack."

The Lorraine family committed suicide?!

Upon hearing this news, the traveler was astonished to find himself unsure whether to laugh or cry.

After all, the Lorraine family were their political allies, and they would definitely be implicated if this happened.

However, if everything goes smoothly, they will inevitably find themselves on the opposite side of the Lorraine family again because of the Yule deal...

However, before the travelers could figure out the situation...

Then he heard an even more explosive message.

"Then, you shouldn't call me 'Sir,' you should call me 'Duke' or 'Grand Duke.'"

The traveler froze for a moment, then looked in astonishment at the royal knights standing solemnly behind Yu Le.

"You...you are now Duke Giss?"

“Yes, Robert, I am now the Duke of Giss.”

You really married into the royal family?

Then what's the point of all this trouble?

No, you've married into the royal family, so all the problems are solved.

So what do we do?

Although they are also allies of Yule, they are in fact colluding with outsiders to prepare to enter one of the most important places in France!

This is no different from the Lorraine family!

It's just that one person who has taken sides is more sensitive.

He kept pretending to be unconscious because he was worried that Yu Le would implicate them.

Unexpectedly, things have turned out much better now. Yu Le has married the princess and become a duke.

But they were destined to perish along with the Lorraine family.

"Duke, isn't this...isn't something wrong?"

Yu Le smiled and said:

“You know, Robert, sometimes, once you make a choice, you have to take responsibility for it. After all, I didn’t force you!”

The traveler opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a single word.

Because this is indeed true, Yu Le had a way out, so he naturally slipped away on his own. They had no way out, but they agreed to it themselves.

Now that he's going to die, he has no one to blame but himself.

I can only blame myself for being greedy.

"But, but..."

After a long moment of stunned silence, the traveler was unable to utter a single word.

Finally, he silently looked at the window and swallowed hard.

He wasn't placed on the ground; he was placed on a warship in the air.

After all, he is currently under surveillance.

This will effectively prevent him from escaping.

And now, this has given him another opportunity—he has to commit suicide!

Then all of this will become his own problem, not the problem of the whole family.

Noticing the amusement in the traveler's perspective, he said it was even more amusing:

"Alright, alright, no need to think about it anymore. I've already had the windows and the room sealed off. After all, I don't want to yell 'Robert—!'"

Yu Le noticed the name the first time he heard it.

Famous reference from Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece "Only a Dog"

At the foot of the Pioneer Temple Bridge, the knight who was asked by the monks to guard the road would shout "Robert!" every time he fell to his death!

Unexpectedly, this guy actually wants to do a 'recreation from another world'!

Although I couldn't hear what the last sentence meant at all.

But the traveler still understood the first part: the new Grand Duke intended to completely wipe out the Robespierre family!

He didn't even want to let all of this die without any evidence!

Even if for him now it's just saying a few less words!

"Your Highness, although we made our own choice, isn't this... going too far! It's just me dying, it's just..."

Seeing this, Yu Le knew he couldn't continue teasing.

"Alright, enough teasing, Robert. Let's get down to business!"

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

The traveler felt like he was on a roller coaster.

“Bourbon II attempted to restore the monarchy, so he must have rallied a large number of nobles who opposed the royal family. In theory, the princess and I should be standing in front of the stage now.”

“But Robert, the princess insists that I continue to hide, so the only noble who knows me right now is you! Or rather, your Robespierre!”

“You’re a smart man, Robert. I think I don’t need to say more, do I?”

The traveler instantly realized the crucial point—the princess was waiting to see which nobles would dare to rebel against Bourbon II!

She intended to take over from Bourbon II to complete her reforms!

However, our esteemed, mighty, perfect, and great Duke Giese.

He still remembered his humble ally and helped us out.

Therefore, we are now staunch royalists!

The traveler jumped up from the hospital bed and, with a fawning expression, rubbed Yu Le's shoulder, saying:

“Oh, Your Excellency, I knew you possessed a character as great as your bloodline. Rest assured, Robespierre, our family will steadfastly support the Royal Family and all your commands!”

“Our family has been a staunch supporter of the royal family since the founding of the kingdom, Grand Duke!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Le added a meaningful remark:

"Ah, is it to support me or the royal family?"

The traveler broke out in a cold sweat again.

That's impossible to answer!

"Hehe, Your Excellency, you... um..."

Feeling the movement stop on his shoulder, Yu Le waved and laughed:

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Although it's just a mutually beneficial arrangement, Yule wouldn't really sell out its partners so easily.

The obsequious traveler continued to massage Yu Le's shoulders.

At the same time, he asked curiously:

"But, Your Grace, what should we do next? Just wait for them to come out on their own?"

In this regard, the music conveys the princess's thoughts:

“The princess will continue to stay here because Bourbon II certainly wants her to stay.”

Ah, luring the snake out of its hole, but the risk is very high.

"Your Highness's courage is truly astonishing, but then, what shall we do, Your Highness?"

“Let’s leave here first. You go and contact your father, and I’ll also go back to my estate.”

“Then, though it is a bit late,” Yule said, slowly rising and looking at the traveler before him, “you are released. The royal family has declared you innocent, Robert Robespierre.”

Upon hearing this, the traveler immediately knelt on one knee and humbly bowed his head:

"Thank you, Your Excellency! Really!"

They didn't reveal their intentions directly, and while they were willing to marry the princess, they could also lend them a hand.

Given this unexpected event, the Robespierre family will definitely suffer a severe blow.

At the very least, he's definitely not going to make it out to be.

This was such an important deal, yet it was his only reason for coming.

"Get up, Robert, it's time for us to go."

And so, the pleasure-seeker and the traveler returned to Robespierre's domain.

At the same time, Princess Emerald stood on the bridge of the flagship, watching Yu Le leave from afar.
