The First Magic World War

Chapter 331: 316, Lionheart King, extending to you the sincerest greetings.

Viscount Constantine, with a face as young as that of a sparrow, greeted Charles with a slight smile and said, “Mister Mecklen, I am very pleased to meet you.”

“However, it is not I who wish to speak, but another gentleman who desires to meet you.”

Charles was slightly surprised. For Viscount Constantine to intervene personally, the person must hold a very high status. Only then did he notice that there were seven or eight other people in the drawing room. Besides the five members of the Sacred Order from Black Phoenix, there was also a man with a high nose and deep-set eyes, whose light blue gaze was commanding—a clear indication of long-held authority.@@novelbin@@

As for the others, their status clearly was not noteworthy, such as Chloe!

Charles believed that those five members of Black Phoenix’s Sacred Order were certainly not the ones for whom Viscount Constantine would intervene, as they had no need to do so. Addressing the man with the high nose and deep-set eyes, he asked, “May I know why this gentleman wishes to see me?”

The man gave a slight smile and stood up to bow.

Charles was slightly startled because this was a gesture of the Lionheart Dynasty, different from the customs of Fars and the Black Phoenix.

The man indeed introduced himself, “I am Conrad of the Lionheart Dynasty! I was originally sent on a diplomatic mission to Black Phoenix; unexpectedly, I met you here. However, my identity must remain confidential for now, so I could only ask Viscount Constantine to arrange this meeting.”

“Allow me to extend, on behalf of Lionheart King, the sincerest greetings to you.”

Charles always felt people should not be so easily startled, but Mr. Conrad’s words were truly shocking. He hastily said, “How would King Baldwin Asa know of me?”

Conrad smiled slightly and said, “His Majesty had the fortunate opportunity to read the book ‘Lionheart King Charles,’ and he is very pleased that someone made a biography for Emperor Charles with such detailed and historically respectful text. He has ordered five hundred thousand copies from the publisher and donated them to every library in every country on the Old Continent, ensuring that no library lacks this classic work.”

“There are also plans to donate this book to the libraries of the New Continent in the future!”

“My mission to Black Phoenix, like that of the other envoys, is for Mister Mecklen.”

Conrad glanced at all the Black Phoenix nobility present and said, “King Baldwin Asa hopes that, no matter what stage the upcoming war reaches, if you encounter Lord Mecklen on the battlefield, please be lenient and spare his life.”

“Our Lionheart Dynasty is willing to pay a large ransom for Lord Mecklen!”

“Similarly, King Baldwin Asa has made the same request on behalf of Miss Annie Brittany.”

“I have already obtained the agreement of Emperor Yannis Hadrian and ask that you all respect the friendship of the Lionheart Dynasty.”

Charles had truly not expected Mr. Conrad to bring such a tremendous “surprise” to him.

He also had not expected that Princess May’s advice to praise Lionheart King Charles more in his new novel would yield such results.

But this result was truly too astonishing.

Charles hurriedly returned a gesture and said, “Sir Charles Mecklen does not know how to repay such kindness from Lionheart King Baldwin Asa.”

Conrad gave a slight smile and said, “Just make sure you write the novel well.”

“There’s another matter, Lionheart King Baldwin Asa strongly believes that Lord Mecklen’s ancestors were also citizens of the Lionheart Dynasty, but for some unspeakable reasons, they had to relocate to Fars, thus he has also reinstated your formal citizenship with the Lionheart Dynasty.”

“I also have the documents with me!”

“The same documents, the other envoys also have a copy each. Lionheart King Baldwin Asa instructed that if there is an opportunity to meet you, to hand them over to you face to face; if not fortunate enough to meet you, then they must bring the documents back.”

Charles took the documents Conrad handed over, discovering there were two. Conrad blinked purposefully, showing a knowing smile. Charles thought, “Just a formal citizenship is made so mysterious and treated so grandiosely.” He tucked the documents into his coat, stood stunned for a moment, recounted the words of Earl Brittany, and then took his leave.

After all, this place was the enemy’s military camp, and Charles dared not stay long.

Besides, he had to face Viscount Constantine, the first master of the Black Phoenix Dynasty, and the pressure was truly immense.

After leaving Sedona City, Charles breathed a sigh of relief, took out the two documents, and discovered that only one of them was his, the other was for Miss Annie Brittany. Charles did not open Annie’s document but tore open his own to find it was not a document of formal citizenship, but an appointment letter personally signed by the contemporary Lionheart King, Baldwin Asa.

“Sir Charles Mecklen, with outstanding achievements and excellent character, has made irreplaceable contributions to the Lionheart Dynasty, and is hereby promoted to the 24th Rank as a senior participant in politics! Appointed as the Lionheart Palace’s Commissioner of the Archives and Literary Advisor of the Cold Spring Palace!”

Charles held this document, his hands slightly trembling.

In the Fars Empire, he had always been stuck as a 25th Rank, level 5 executive officer, but in Inglima and the Lionheart Dynasty, his official career was prosperous. Even though these were not key political positions, they were critical roles that allowed frequent encounters with the emperor and even enabled him to influence the politics of both empires.

Charles secretly thought, “Should I also write something for the founding emperor of Fars?”

He pondered deeply but could not find a suitable subject and had to temporarily abandon the idea.

Instead, he thought about transforming a classic novel by the father of the author of ‘La Dame aux Camélias’ to curry favor with Earl Brittany. Of course, he would have to alter some tiny details inappropriate for Fars, so as not to irritate the first master of the Fars Empire.

Charles took a deep breath, returned to the military camp, and immediately went to meet Earl Brittany.

The Earl did not make things difficult for Charles, nor did he refuse to see him, allowing him to climb aboard the temporarily used military wagon.

This military wagon was just an ordinary model that followed the army, rather old and simply furnished. Charles thought for a moment and quietly placed the luxurious dark document together with the appointment letter on the small table inside the wagon, relaying the events he encountered in Sedona City in full detail.

Earl Brittany did not speak, but picked up the document, opened it, and after a while, smiled faintly and said, “Annie hasn’t even graduated and she’s already got a decent job.”

Charles was quite curious about what position Lionheart King Baldwin Asa had given to Annie—whether it involved political responsibilities—and then he heard Earl Brittany say indifferently, “The incidents that happened previously in Seagull City must not occur again…”
