Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

The pub was filled with deathly silence again.

The area had already been cleared out.

"Oh, I see.

326

You, my friend, you have such a flexible moral bottom line. After all this time, you are not a real gentleman, but a fake moralist. "I don't know if this translation is correct, but it is very vivid - "When that "mama's boy" has a seizure again and divorces me, can I also..."

"?! No, don't talk nonsense! It's impossible for the two of us! Absolutely impossible!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly? Hehe~~~" The two sides joked for a long time, and then the young woman stopped attacking the boy: "I can see that you still have some psychological burden? Then I can help you find a way to make you feel at ease."

"……Um?"

"Xia Lulu is not angry with you, she is just scared."

"……what?"

"How many years have I been by his side? How could I not know this green... Humph!" This is based on the setting of Gudafu in many Fate fan settings, especially "Understanding FGO from Comics": "Don't worry, this guy is now more afraid that you will ignore him."

"...No way? If it were me, I would kill myself."

"Oh? Then you are still a man."

"……what?"

------------------

Not bad!

The XP of Charlemagne in real history is also strange. According to the theory of power politics in the normal world, not marrying off daughters but inviting them into marriage can effectively prevent family division and foreign relatives from gaining power. This was the tradition of the Germanic countries at that time.

But according to conspiracy theories, the reason why Xia Lulu didn't marry off her daughter was because she was an incestuous womanizer! She really did "give birth to a daughter and then (beep~)". This conspiracy theory started when Xia Lulu was still alive, and the conspiracy theory is also reasonable and well-founded [Although this was the tradition at the time, your rumor is too conspicuous! He took his daughter with him wherever he went, and he was more diligent than taking his wife with him. There were many cases of his daughter getting pregnant before marriage, but he was still not allowed to get married].

So what exactly happened is a mess.

In the real world, XP is so unrestrained.

In the world of hentai, especially the skin of Gudafu - especially the skin of Gudafu in "Understanding FGO from Comics".

Then Xia Lulu can be said to be Chaos Evil in terms of XP.

"Ah, Langley? What a nice name." Xia Lulu smiled and took Levi's hand and said, "If I have a daughter, I will also name her Langley."

"..." What could Levi say? He hadn't dared to say anything big since he entered the scene. Anyway, he had knocked on the resurrection point when he came here, so he could die 600 times and have a chance to resurrect. He just waited for Xia Lulu to smash the cup as a signal for the axemen to chop him into meat paste, and then he stood up and rushed back to Brittany.

But what greeted him was not stones and bayonets, but flowers and smiles.

Of course, he was in the wrong this time, so he didn't even dare to dodge the [Hunjong-style kisses everywhere] from this beautiful young boss. He was afraid that if he used his body too much, people around him would think he was going to kill the king - but in fact, people around him didn't think much of it.

As a person from a country with strict ethics, Levi made a serious empirical mistake - the German barbarians didn't care, and Xia Lulu herself didn't care in the main story. But in the case of the inner story, it was even more like a Central Plains five green and European green (in "Understanding FGO from Comics", Gudafu was a minotaur berserker) - plus the relationship between the two sides was max, so it was okay at all.

When Levi planned to "surrender" Xia Lulu a year ago, he was planning to disintegrate the Charlemagne Empire from within, and through a series of despicable means, he would replace the Wei Dynasty like the Sima family did!

Of course, he never expected this. Now it feels like through a series of shameful means that everyone knows about, doing the same thing as Lao Shi and marrying someone to replace her - even Xia Lulu herself is problematic.

"If." Xia Lulu's face showed a happy expression, and she said, "I know you are in a difficult situation. Your wife is Queen Aulica, right? Her child has not been born yet. If you cannot recognize your eldest daughter, then I can accept her! Let her be my daughter, and from now on she will be the eldest princess of the Carolingian Dynasty. Of course, I will tell her everything, and she is still your daughter. But in terms of status, she is my eldest princess, and you can even raise her yourself without adopting her to me."

...Huh? Uh, this...

"Um, Xia Lulu, I really feel sorry about this..."

"At first I was very angry because you didn't tell me. Then I reflected on myself and realized it was my fault. If I had made it clear at the beginning, you wouldn't have been so scared. It's still the same now. Alas... it's all my fault." Xia Lulu immediately gave a bitter smile, and then the smile gradually became as bright as the sun: "My dear - Dad!"

“…!??! Big brother, stop it.”

166 Contradictions among the People (skip)

Filial piety brings strength!

Although we were all father and son in the dormitory at university, the relationship between us was definitely beyond friendship - it was a family relationship! Calling dad could solve all the problems in daily life and some problems at critical moments.

But the cost is too high.

"Brother, come sit down - we look about the same age. Let's talk about our own... uh..."

Li Wei suddenly had a lot of conspiracy theories in his mind, such as the other party wanted to be his son, and then kill him to inherit his property.

But it shouldn't be that serious, right?

327

If it's true, I would rather do it myself than acknowledge this father! Could it be...

Isn't that true? Is there really such an emperor in this world? He values ​​family affection more than anything else? Where does this Oedipus complex come from?

"Ah... As expected." Seeing Levi's refusal, the handsome boy boss was very distressed: "Then how can I become your son?"

According to legend.

The Jade Emperor wanted to see Liu Tianjun's treasure, but Liu Tianjun said that his treasure could only be passed on to his son. So a thought flashed through the Jade Emperor's mind: How can I become the other party's son?

Later, he said that it was too late to joke, and the gods would do it if they wanted to. So he separated his soul and came down to earth, becoming the Zhenwu Emperor - of course, this is one version. But in this version, even the Jade Emperor wanted to become someone's son.

Art comes from life and is higher than life. Xia Lulu here is not a normal person.

"…There's no need to do everything so quickly."

The young devil hugged the young emperor and kept interrupting him: "Well, I am responsible for this matter (very much). I will buy you a drink. I will buy you a drink - let's go. Um... I have some very serious problems on the Eastern Front."

"? Uh, ah... okay. Oh, by the way, let's go together--"

------------------

Xia Lulu was the head of the household and had the final say in the entire Carolingian dynasty. Of course, this was in a sense, first of all, his mother was the mastermind behind him; secondly, his brother had separated from him a long time ago, so there was no future.

In addition to these, he also has a younger sister.

She is one of the only three children who survived among their eight children. Xia Lulu's sister, Kissla, had a husband who was Charlemagne's brother-in-law. The emperor's maternal family and wife's family were foreign relatives, so the sister was also considered maternal family, right?

"...Is the situation on the northern front already so tense?" Xia Lulu was shocked when she heard Levi's description of the war: "This... This is just like another barbarian invasion of Rome?"

Ah, is it appropriate for you to say this about your ancestors?

"Such a terrible natural disaster is just like another scourge from God. When we fought Attila, the armies of all the kings and emperors in Europe came. This time, they are no less powerful. I... By the way." Xia Lulu seemed to be in disbelief, but also seemed to be extremely surprised. She put her arm around Levi's shoulders and said with great joy, "You said you blocked several attacks from the enemy, right?"

"Yes, we captured a lot of prisoners." This (beep~) must be blown up first: "The enemy is advancing by land and sea, but fortunately I built a solid defense line in the area. I named it the Maginot Line, which is an integrated defense of the navy, army and air force..."

Levi started to play the music, and Xia Lulu kept nodding her head, listening with fascination.

"Humph……"

However, a cold snort followed immediately, cutting the warm atmosphere short.

"My dear Duke Levi, it seems that what you said is very different."

Levi looked back and saw that it was that bastard who was so blind, so he turned his head to take a look.

Oh, it’s this bastard.

"Count Ganelon." Tsk, what's a mere earl? -- He's Charlemagne's brother-in-law. A real high-ranking official, with Xia Lulu's protective personality, it's quite normal for her to hold an important position in his court.

Treasurer.

Uh… His ability doesn’t seem that great, and his position doesn’t seem that high. But, he is the chief financial officer.

Li Wei has taken money from him many times, and maybe the accountant has an illusion that the money he manages is not the boss's, but his own. This is just like when nothing happens, the security guards think they are police officers, but when something happens, the security guards think they are just passers-by.

It is what is meant by "the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are."

"Do you have any questions about my report?"

"Of course." Although he had nothing to do with the inheritance, he felt that it was normal for him to have a share of his brother-in-law's property. Ganelon was well-proportioned, with a delicate and small beard. He was also well-dressed and elegant, otherwise he would not have been able to hook up with Xia Lulu's sister. At this moment, he was in his 30s and spoke with a southern French accent: "I have read your report. You asked for too much money to build useless fortifications."

"These fortifications are very useful in defending against Viking invasions. I have just reported it."

"Whether it is really useful or not, we need to send observers to observe. Besides, you have 40,000 troops on the front line. 40,000 are enough to fight against the attack of the Book of God. Why do you need so much money to build fortifications? Besides, do you really have 40,000 troops? Really? I don't believe it."

"..."

"In this case, we should consider the salary you ask for every month, especially whether we need so many people here. The chaos in Northern Europe is just your one-sided story, and we also need to send observers or provide sufficient evidence. Only after the investigation of the Council of Nobles is completed, can we confirm the truth of everything. But before that, you have already asked for enough funds. Similarly..."

"How about this." Levi felt that the matter could be resolved quickly: "I also think that what Lord Ganelon said makes sense. How about you bring your troops and exchange defense with me?"

"No, my responsibility is in the capital. I am responsible for the financial affairs, and you are responsible for guarding the border. Everyone must do their own job well."

"That makes sense." Li Wei is a good person to talk to.

328

: "Then I request to be rotated - I have been stationed for more than three months. The army is indeed huge, and Northern Europe is also..."

"First of all, I'm not against you being stationed here, but you want too much, even to the point of being greedy... Humph, of course everyone knows. The number of 40,000 is too magical and unbelievable. I have communicated privately with the Templars, and your troops are only 10,000. Excluding the part you should serve, our salary will..."

"Okay, stop arguing!" Xia Lulu was not very happy about this scene: "Both of you have your own reasons, but... the Noble Council is a good thing, we can talk about everything first. Levi, I can guarantee that your food and grass will still be adequately supplied. But maybe we can hold a meeting first, let everyone express their opinions, and then we can make a decision..."

"No, even the Romans, who value republican democracy (aristocratic military democracy) the most, would elect a dictator before a major war! Complete military dictatorship. Because they know that the army is the only place that does not require multiple commands! The so-called aristocratic parliament can be used for bickering at ordinary times, but at such a critical moment of life and death, it must not be allowed to bicker! Nor can any opinions be expressed from the bottom up. Even if a meeting is to be held and everyone's opinions must be heard, it should be you, Xia Lulu, who should first formulate a general direction, and then bring it out for modification and discussion. - You must not be indecisive on such issues! Otherwise, it will only kill everyone."

“That… makes sense.”

The King of Beautiful Boys thought for a moment, waved his hand to stop his brother-in-law who was about to say something, and immediately said to Levi affirmatively: "Thank you for your words, which are like the wisest river water to me! As expected, you are someone I cannot live without."

"?"

"Then, this is no longer an ordinary enemy. We must strike hard!... I decided to talk to my brother and ask him to let go of his worries. Well, then... we will send troops to Northern Europe together! Oh, by the way, hold a meeting of the Knights and let all those who can fight come. Alas... within a year, we may have to use troops twice."

? Didn’t beating me last year count?

"By the way, let's confirm Dad's matter during the meeting."

"what?"

167 My brother is awesome

How to solve the cuckold problem? To solve the problem from the root.

(The following content is only for Crusader Kings series players) First, aren't you afraid of being cuckolded? Then can't you be sure that the son you give birth to is your own? -- You slept with your daughter-in-law, doesn't that solve the problem? It guarantees the absolute inheritance of the family bloodline. Since you are going to cheat anyway, why not keep the money within the family?

Oh, by the way. If the heir is not a son, the problem will be easier to solve - those who come up with solutions here are definitely not good people, so this is not the author's fault.

Solve the problem fundamentally.

So Levi now looks at his dear "daughter-in-law" and gets inspiration from her.

A series of words such as Lu Buwei, stealing beams and replacing pillars, stealing the sky and replacing the day flashed through his mind. Of course, Li Wei's moral guilt has been greatly reduced so far, because the victims of this incident don't seem to care about it that much, and they are even quite happy.

But he seemed to have overlooked the fact that there was another person involved.

Xia Lulu wrote a letter to her brother, saying things like "Friendship lasts forever" and "Comrades, be careful on your journey". It was like the two countries were close neighbors and brothers. It also explained in detail that the brotherly relationship between the two sides was good and they grew up together. If the brother really wanted the position of the head of the Carolingian family, as long as he supported his mother and treated his sister well, he could give up Aachen and retire to a monastery.

"……elder brother……"

Halfway through reading the letter, Xia Lulu's younger brother Carloman couldn't help feeling sad.

Yes, he thought of his brother's almost doting love for him when he was a child, which basically fully conforms to the concept of an elder brother being like a father. Except for... a slightly weak personality, Carloman felt that his brother was quite normal in other aspects. Ah, after all, they were born to the same mother, and fortunately, both brothers inherited their mother's beauty. The younger brother of a beautiful boy is also a beautiful boy. This is the world of hentai, one is 28 and the other is 26. One looks like 18 and the other looks like 16, which is also normal, right?

Carloman held Xia Lulu's letter in his hand, and his mind was filled with thoughts. It seemed as if he had returned to that afternoon when the grass was green and the birds were singing. He and his beautiful brother Xia Lulu went to the high-end candy store on Wangcheng Street together. He ate his brother's portion bite by bite, and his brother was still grinning beside him. Ah, running under the sunset, that was his lost youth...

Carloman couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, thinking that he had really gone too far. He planned to kill his brother just because he thought his brother was unreliable. To protect the Carolingian dynasty - is power really more important than family affection? Is the world's eyes really more important than brotherhood?

"Alas..." Carloman sighed and decided to stop the war, and then find time to go to Aachen to make things clear. The relationship between the two sides is brotherly, and there is actually nothing worth... huh?

Carloman's moist eyes glanced at the letter from his brother Xia Lulu, and the last few lines suddenly caught his eye.

Oh, yes, there is

329

I have good news for you. We have new sisters! 】

"...Hmm?" Carloman glanced casually and then shook his head like a lion, his eyes fixed on the last line of the letter.

【Thanks to the merciful God, my mother is pregnant again. This time she gave birth to a princess sister for us. My father is my best friend, my best brother, and my best confidant. I believe you also know that he is the newly promoted Duke of Brittany. Because he is the principal wife, his relationship with my mother cannot be exposed. I recognized his and my mother's daughter as my daughter, but in fact she is our lovely sister. He has a good relationship with my mother and is only 18 years old. He is a good man. Will we have more brothers and sisters in the future? It really makes people feel happy to think about it.

In the name of the Lord, I hope you can come and see our new "father" soon, his kindness, his love, his beauty...】

"Hiss!!"

Carloman couldn't bear it any longer, so he tore the long letter into two pieces, and then continued to tear the relatively intact parts into pieces: "Xia Lulu, Xia Lulu, big brother is such a fool, such a waste, such an idiot!!! He has been bullied to the extreme, is this guy a cuckold? Is he mentally ill? Is he a psychopath?!!! I'm going to hit him hard on the head with a golf club!! I...I...poof!"

Carloman was so angry that he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"......?" Then Carloman and the people around him were all shocked.

What happened?

Carloman thought to himself that although his brother, who was the green brother of Europe, acted absurdly and this matter made him extremely angry, it didn't seem so angry that he would vomit blood, right?
