“Why this makes no sense.otbnkotgt "No, this makes sense.
And father, you don't need to belittle yourself, you can help."
William said: "In fact, as long as you show up in Krakow, you are doing a great help.
Whether it is to the Grand Duke or to the Grand Duchy of Mazovia, you are of great help."
Seeing that Duke Otto was still a little confused, William continued to explain to him patiently: "Father, you are a hero in the last great border war, and you are also a great nobleman who owns a quarter of Mazovia.
Your appearance will greatly inspire the people of Krakow to resist the Centaur Khanate. confidence.
You will serve as a sign, a symbol, to boost the morale of the people throughout Mazovia, and even the entire Kingdom of Wende. " After hearing what William said, Duke Otto nodded, although he was somewhat unwilling to play the role of a symbol or even a mascot.
But he also knew that there was nothing wrong with what William said.
At this critical moment, he shouldered the dual identities of a hero and a great nobleman, and made a positive gesture to respond to the invitation of Archduke Leszek to go to Krakow.
This action can indeed greatly boost the morale of Mazovia and even the Wende Kingdom.
"I understand."
Duke Otto nodded: "I will go to Krakow.
So what should I do and what should I do while I am going to Krakow?"
"The most important thing is to show your importance."
William said: "In this war situation, the friendship between the Hereford family and the Trieste family will keep Mazovia united.
Father, you want to Remember, you represent our entire family.
This is a crucial performance, a public appearance for us as Dukes of Mystia, with a title of Duke.
Krakow is an international city.
Goths, Slavs, Levantines from the south, and even various non-human species can all be found in Krakow.
This is the best stage, father, and this is very, very important.
You have to show our strength, but also your grace.
To be captivated and admired by people all over the world. " "This is a bit difficult."
Duke Otto frowned and said, "To be honest, I'm not very good at acting."
"You just need to show your usual self."
William comforted him and said: "You are a man like an ascetic, and at the same time you are a model level, an excellent knight full of chivalry, and you are also a pious person.
The disciple of the Lord of Glory.
There is no nobleman in this world who has a better image than you.
You have to have some confidence in yourself."
"Yes, really."
Hearing what William said, Duke Otto himself felt a little embarrassed.
"So specifically" "The general principle is that you need to maintain a friendly relationship with the Grand Duke.
And you must firm your position.
That is, resist the centaurs.
Anyone who opposes you should resolutely fight back against them."
William said to Duke Otto.
He said that he hoped that his father could be involved in Krakow's social circles and gain as much support from all walks of life as possible.
But if you think about it, you will know that this is impossible.
Duke Otto is not so thoughtful.
He did, but he couldn't go.
Therefore, William decided to settle for the next best thing and replace flexible diplomacy with firm principles and solid political tendencies.
Although this will push some people to oppose him.
But at the same time, it can unite a group of people in the shortest possible time.
And with Duke Otto's status, he can probably become the leader of this group of people, at least one of the leaders.
This can greatly improve the status of the Hereford family in Mazovia, and even the aristocratic class in the entire Wende Kingdom.
It can play a huge role in the next expansion of the Hereford family.

"I understand."
Duke Otto nodded.
William breathed a sigh of relief: "We will discuss some specific matters in detail later."
He said to Duke Otto: "Also, before father leaves, there are two other things I need to discuss with you."
"What's the matter, tell me."
Duke Otto said.
"One thing is to go to Rome again."
William said: "to see His Majesty the Pope again.
We need the greatest support from the Holy See."
"The second thing is the support from the people of the empire."
When William said this, he shook his head helplessly:
"The upper echelons of the empire are caught in a civil war, and we can't count on it for the time being.
However, there are still many civilian forces in the empire, and I hope to get donations from them.
At the same time, I also hope that they can organize a volunteer army to serve in the war. ” After William said this, he looked at Duke Otto eagerly, hoping that he could give him a positive enough answer.
Although he has such expectations.
And know how to complete this series of operations.
But the problem is that he has no connections and doesn’t know enough people.
Connections and common sense are what William lacks at this stage.
"This should be no problem."
After thinking for a while, Duke Otto nodded: "If you really want to accomplish this, then I have some connections.
Speaking of which, your aunt came back last time.
Riford, you were in Circassian at that time, but you should meet her this time."
"Yeah."
William quickly understood what Duke Otto meant.
His aunt, Duke Otto's sister, was a knight instructor affiliated with the Gothic Knights.
She traveled between Duke Otto's Hereford territory and Inside the Gothic Empire in the West.
While escorting the caravan, it will also bring a large number of bankrupt farmers and refugees from within the empire to help Duke Otto reclaim land.
Trade with the Gothic Knights, who was based in Shilonsk and belonged to William's aunt, was once an important economic pillar for the Hereford family.
But of course, that was before.
Prior to this, the Gothic Knights held a strong position in the interactions between the two parties.
But now, the Hereford family, which holds the title of Duke of Mystia, is still unable to compare with the knights throughout the empire in terms of strength.
But in theory, its status is equal to that of the Gothic Knights.
"That is to say, the fundraising and organizing the volunteer army that I mentioned can be discussed with the Gothic Knights."
William nodded.
Indeed, if this stronghold, network, and paramilitary organization with connections throughout the empire could help, he would indeed be able to obtain what he wanted in the shortest possible time.
"She wrote to me before and told me that she would come to Hereford in half a month.
I estimate that by that time, I will already be in Krakow.
When the time comes, you will entertain her on my behalf, and Talk to her about it," said Prince Otto.
"I will write her a letter explaining these things.
The rest is up to you."
"Well, thank you, Father."
In this way, the three members of the Hereford family talked in the study for nearly four hours.
During this period, I consumed a lot of coffee, black tea and snacks.
So after William finished talking, he made a subtle suggestion to Shalomi: "I hope you can stay in shape."
In the next period of time, William hired a professional tutor to teach Duke Otto etiquette courses.

In addition, a lot of money was spent on tailors and jewelry craftsmen to tailor a large number of gorgeous aristocratic dresses for Duke Otto.
William hopes that his father can make the whole world remember his heroic appearance after his first appearance.
Because time is in a hurry, tailors and jewelry craftsmen are rushing to work and work overtime.
Of course, William was not idle during this period.
He wanted to help his father, Duke Otto, in politics, speaking skills, speeches, etc.
Write a speech for him.
And analyze various situations, analyze what kind of people he will meet, what kind of conversations he will have, and what choices he should make in this situation.
In this way, William felt that he was a bit like Goebbels, the propaganda minister of the Third Reich.
Of course, compared to the above people, Duke Otto is the most tired.
He has to constantly try on new clothes and various hangings, various small decorations, including crowns, scepters, various gorgeous scabbards and small cross-shaped jewelry.
In addition, he also had to listen to William tell him about social situations and recite various speeches.
After that, his speech and behavior, even eating, tone of voice, etc., must also be taught by etiquette teachers.
He works almost twenty-four hours a day, even when he needs to go to the bathroom.
So exhausted physically and mentally that I eagerly look forward to the end of these days soon.
In this way, three days later, when Duke Otto finally completed all preparations and could go to Krakow, he was so moved that he almost cried.
"Then, everything is at your mercy, my son."
When leaving Circassian and before mounting his horse, Duke Otto held William's hands and said earnestly.
"I will, father, have a good journey.
Don't worry, I will take good care of our family and territory."
"You must also take care of yourself."
Duke Otto frowned and then ordered.
"I see."
So, finally, the father and son hugged each other.
Duke Otto is coming up now, leading the honor guard of a newly formed cavalry battalion towards Krakow 160420oshow7:
