Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 209 Rejection

Prince Widreck raised his head, Claude, and it was only then that he realized that the second prince of the kingdom was actually very young, presumably in his thirties, and that his forehead had faint wrinkles. The face was pale, the sound of the dog and horse brought him a decadent and tired face, some red eyes, visible blood silk, white pollen on his face and a demonic smell.

After a glance at Claude, Prince Widreck didn't speak and poured himself another glass of wine, a golden glass and a bite, he turned to Claude, raised his chin slightly, and measured Claude up and down with a high arrogance: "You're Claude. Fields? My aunt's a student in the countryside of White Deer Town? ”

Your aunt? Claude immediately realized that the aunt to whom the two princes referred was Lady Maria. No wonder many people said that Baroness Maria was considered their own sister by Sterling X. It seems that the rumors are really well founded. This Prince Widreck now personally admits that Lady Maria is his aunt...

“If you mean Baroness Maria, I think I'm her student. She gave me a lot of guidance in pharmacology.” Claude saluted Prince Widreck with a respectful answer.

“Humph...” Prince Widreck hummed softly: "My aunt says you have a very good pharmacological talent, but I don't think you're doing well either, you're still a big soldier. You seem to have failed her expectations and not developed well in pharmacology. She also told me to take care of you as best I could when I came...”

Claude didn't want to talk, and Prince Widreck was obviously arrogant, drawing conclusions based on his first impression and not listening to others' arguments. But what did I argue with him? There is no common language at all with the two princes...

“Thanks to Baroness Maria for her concern, my unsuccessful student did disappoint her. However, I am now living well in the barracks and do not need the care of His Royal Highness the Honourable Prince.” Claude was polite enough to say no.

But obviously, this Prince Widreck didn't hear Claude say no. He frowned and thought: “Well, I'll talk to General Philipt tomorrow and ask him to transfer you to me as a guard. The rank is Lieutenant, so that I can tell my aunt when I return to the king...”

Claude's face changed: “Your Royal Highness, I told you I don't need your care, I'm doing well in the army, and I don't want to be a guard around you! ”

That was so loud that those people in the tent stopped talking and turned their heads and looked at this side.

Prince Widreck's face grew gloomy, seemingly unexpected that Claude would refuse his kindness and care and speak so loudly in person.

“You, you're fine...” Prince Widreck stared at Claude word for word.

Still offended the prince, Claude suffered, but saluted Prince Widreck: "Please tell Baroness Maria that the student failed her kindness. Now that he has enlisted in the army, he has served his kingdom by bathing blood in the sand. Claude is now acting Squadron Leader, he can't bear to give up his men to be driven by His Royal Highness the Prince, and ask His Royal Highness to forgive him...”

That's a pretty thing to say, Prince Widreck's face finally disappeared. Claude went on to say, "Your Royal Highness, Claude is a crude man, so please allow me to retire...”

Prince Widreck opened his mouth and tried to say something, but he didn't say it, just waved and turned around and stopped looking at Claude. That means Claude naturally understands, hurrying to another salute, turning around and walking out of this commanding ledge that makes him feel very bored.

Before walking to the door of the tent, I heard the waiter who brought himself ask Prince Widreck: "Your Highness, you just let go of this clueless boy? ”

Claude paced slightly, slowed down, and then heard that Prince Widreck didn't care: "This is a country boy I don't know. I don't know why my aunt accepted him as a student. For my aunt's sake, spare him this time...”

Claude wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, but she was complaining about Mrs. Maria. This pharmacology cheap teacher of his own recognised how hard to help himself. With all due respect, but for Claude, the Baroness wants to take care of herself.

Claude can tell from listening and seeing with his own eyes during this period that the two princes have not done enough to fail, that their bias and self-esteem are quite high, that they cannot listen to the anti-ear advice, and that they are passionate about colored dogs and horses, and that they will not label the two princes until they are out of their minds.

Mrs. Maria entrusted Prince Widreck to take care of Claude, knowing that the two princes were coming to the Blue Feathers Corps to serve as supervisors, and that placing Claude next to the two princes would indeed keep him away from the fierce battle danger of soldiers and not have to go to war to become cannon dust. But she didn't understand Claude's current situation, and as the two princes had just said, let Claude go to him as a guard, a ranked lieutenant, and that was a really low flow of water.

If Claude was a big soldier, he might say yes, but now he's the sergeant of the Bluefeather Corps, acting commander of the guard squadron, the second prince, the promised honorary lieutenant rank, is unattractive to Claude. Perhaps more correctly, Claude abandoned the rank of sergeant, renounced the position of acting squadron commander, and went to serve as a lieutenant guard next to Prince Two. That was a joke. Prince Two did not even understand Claude's situation and made a self-righteous request.

The Kingdom of Orvilas has two ranks, one formal and one honorable. Formal military ranks can accompany them for life and can be inscribed on a headstone even after death. Honorary ranks, which can be used for some time, are time-bound and restrictive. For example, Claude can hang the rank of an honorary lieutenant when he serves as Prince Widreck's bodyguard. If he does not serve as a bodyguard, he loses the rank of an honorary lieutenant.

Also during the war, the kingdom awarded honorary ranks to a number of wealthy men who donated their assets to help the war, or to a number of nobles who aspired to merit war neutrality by donating large sums of money to obtain honorary ranks and enlist in the army. Most of these half-way honorary officers serve as temporary staff assistants or whatever. They may formally be demobilized as a result of their combat efforts, but there are few such success stories, even when converted to official ranks, which are not the same as honorary ranks, and are generally downgraded by three or four ranks.

The three generals, as Claude saw in Prince Widreck's tent, were actually honorary ranks, not official officers of the Blue Feather Corps. This can be seen on the shoulder badge. The honorary rank's shoulder badges and identification, surrounded by a circle of golden rose pattern, look much more magnificent than the official rank's shoulder badges and deserve the honorary title.

For Prince Widreck, it would be a disgrace to serve his royal nobility as a servant and guard if he were a major soldier, so Lieutenant Lieutenant, these honorary ranks are not expensive, even his marv could hang a lieutenant's rank. Instead, the servants officially hired by the royal family, like the one who went to find Claude, were obviously the hearts of the Second Prince, and he didn't have any ranks on him, and he didn't need these tricks.

So for Claude, renouncing the rank of sergeant and acting sergeant squadron leader, to be a lieutenant in the honorary rank of Prince Widreck, and then being drank by the two princes and his belly servants, as if he were a walking dog, he was really out of his mind.

Although the advantage is not to go to war as cannon ash, even borrow the power of the Second Prince to fake tiger, but for the arrogant Claude, he doesn't even want to hug Mrs. Maria's thighs, he just wants to maintain a simple relationship between teachers and students, how can he be a walking dog to this self-righteous Second Prince? He would rather die on the battlefield than let go of his pride and lower his voice to the servant, Prince Widreck, who had no place in his eyes.

Claude didn't expect it the next day, because the noble prince was too tired to dance last night, so he couldn't get up in the morning. He didn't pack until after 3pm, pulled out the camp and left, then walked for about two hours and ordered the camp to be set up...

The same was true on the third day, so that the Blue Feather Regiment's high ranks could not stand the drag and delay of the noble prince that they ordered a large number of horses and carriages to be adjusted from the rear, assigned to the Field Eleven Battalion and the Battalion of the Guard Regiment, as well as the squadrons following the Second Prince, so that the daily itinerary would finally be improved a little, and the carriage would always be faster than the hiking march.

When the noble Second Prince arrived in the Odin Mountains, the original five-day hike was dragged by him in a carriage for half a month. However, the high echelons of the Blue Feather Regiment have already understood the integrity of His Royal Highness the noble prince, ready to lift him up the mountain's shoulders and choosers, ready to lift him across the Odin Mountains.

Not to mention the army of the Principality of Siddins of the two defensive fronts of the Odin Mountains alone, with 780,000 prisoners after surrender, has been imprisoned in Amis City on the other side of the Odin Mountains, awaiting the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince to conduct the surrender ceremony. In addition, the Blue Feather Regiment has progressed well within the Principality of Siddins, which now occupies the two seaport cities scheduled by the Ministry of the Navy, and the only remaining major city in the Principality of Siddins is the capital, Fort Ivanovich.

However, the Blue Feather Corps is also powerless at present, and the second fielder, although pushed under Fort Avenas, is powerless to attack due to insufficient troops. The third and fourth fielder also stayed in those two seaport cities to maintain order. As for the first fielder, he was stationed in Amis City with that second-line regiment to take care of a large number of prisoners...

If Prince Widreck hadn't arrived in Amis City, the first fielder wouldn't even be able to take over the prisoner and Amis City with that second-line regiment, because it was the Bluefeathers' battle effort and had to be recognized by Prince Widreck as a prison guard.

To the top of the Blue Feather Regiment, the delayed journey of Prince Widreck has had a very negative impact on the war situation throughout the Principality of Siddins. The Principality of Siddins is using this rare free time to recruit horses, build defensive installations and send envoys to its allies.

But none of this matters to Prince Widreck. He always complains that his father, King Sterling X, gave him a hard job. If possible, he would rather stay in the King than run to the Blue Feather Legion to serve as a prison guard. Even his journey was used as a trip to the mountains to play with water.

In the Odin Mountains, he complained that Prince Widreck, too tired to climb the mountain, came down from time to time from his shoulders, ordered soldiers to shoot at defensive installations that were empty, then stood next to the scarred defensive installations and made several of his servants paint his English posture. These portraits were to be sent to the newspaper in Wangdu for publication, meaning that, under the command of His Royal Highness the wise Prince, the brave soldiers once again attacked the enemy stronghold fortress or something...

In addition to falsifying, the prince even had a hunting event. Just because a rabbit ran through the mountain path, His Royal Highness, the noble prince, decided to organize a hunting competition himself, with all his fox friends and honorary officers following him. Of course, these honorary officers did not go to the battlefield to make war, but followed them to make money, occupying the Principality of Siddins. Although large numbers were captured by the Army and the Treasury, they were rewarding as long as they enjoyed the pleasure of His Royal Highness the Prince and authorized a civilian search.

The hunting competition delayed His Royal Highness's journey in the Odin Mountains for another day and a half, but the Blue Feathers' high ranks were helpless and they could not even make a statement. Everyone knows that Sterling X's favorite is this second son. Compared to the stability of the big prince, the barbarity of the three princesses, the cowardice of the four princesses, the greed of the five princesses is petty. The two princesses are just playful, they are very filial to the father prince, and they most hate the joy of Sterling X.
