The days on the ship passed by like a flash. In the blink of an eye, the Principality of Brittany was already in front of us. The voodoo doll in Princess Navarra's hand was only a few steps away from the final process.

After dinner that night, she sat in her room as usual and took care of her hair in this space. The Earl of France usually came over at this time, and sometimes he drank a little more, and would be a little later. However, even when drunk, the Earl of France did not say much. In addition to talking a little alcoholic and going back to bed earlier, his behavior before and after drinking was not much different, which made people feel at ease.

However, the one who pushed the door open that night was the black balance.

"The consul said that there seemed to be something trouble hiding in the sea ahead. I didn't feel it at all. The sea was dark and there was nothing to see. So the consul asked me to come down and accompany you for a while. He was on the deck with a red knife and a white bow."

"Come down and stay with me for a while?" Princess Navara was a little unhappy. "Am I a child who will cry without anyone accompanying me? No one asked him to come! Go back and tell him that I am very quiet alone!"

"Don't be so angry. The consul is afraid that you will think randomly and make extreme actions after staying alone in the room for a long time. I think so too. Unfortunately, we didn't bring a maid this time, otherwise the consul will definitely let her stay with you in the room."

Princess Navarra breathed out unhappily: Although she was unwilling to give up, she was indeed a little afraid of staying alone. Long-term staying alone would make her think about it, and would make her recall the bloody palace and gloomy dungeons over and over again, which would make her have nightmares, and would make her open her eyes in the middle of the night in fear again and again.

She actually knew that the voodoo doll taught her that the Earl of France had probably had no practical use, but this thing could allow her to pass her bored time. When she was in a bad mood, she could also vent her breath by scolding the Earl of France, who was close to her. In this way, she could vent her dark mood from time to time, so that she could fall asleep peacefully.

Seeing that Princess Navara complained but had no intention of driving people, Black Bianping laughed knowingly and sat down at the table. He lifted the balance as before, and used a spell to make the balance unbalanced, and then added small silver weights to it to restore the balance to restore balance. In the end, the number of weights was fixed at three.

"It will be more than half of it. It seems that there are already strong nobles in Navarre that have taken on a new banner. If you go back, princess, there will probably be many people unhappy."

"From the moment you robbed me from Navarra, all this is inevitable."

Princess Navarra was not surprised at all. She knocked on the table with her fingers, and leaned on her head to look at the black scale in front of her, and asked casually:

"Have your consul always asked you to measure others' worth like this?"

"It's almost the same. I've been with the consul for more than ten years. From the nobles who serve in the central government to the grooms who feed the consuls, everyone who comes to the consuls will be weighed by me."

"If I had an aide like you for ten years," said Princess Navarra, "then I would certainly be the backbone of Navarra, not like your consuls is now."

The black balance chuckled under the hood, "Princess, do you mean, does the consul have no ability to support the Allemany Federation?"

"There are many rumors about your consuls," said Princess Navarra. "My parents think he is an outstanding nobleman, but in comparison, he has more negative news. He says he is extravagant, he is mentally ill, he is abandoned, and most famously - marrying his own mother and giving birth to his own sister. He is not a normal person just by listening to these rumors."

"What do you think of the princess?"

"I can't see clearly, I can't figure it out." Princess Navarra shook her head with her eyes closed, "He is not very similar to all the rumors. I can't even tell whether he is a villain or a good person. His handicraftsmanship is very superb, like a professional craftsman... I don't know if this is a compliment for a nobleman or even a leader of a country. As for his personal courage and wisdom... Well, even if he passes the qualifications, he is not as unbearable as the rumors. If he becomes serious, he should be able to become a hero. And his surrounding staff, Red Knife, White Bow, and you, are all first-class talents. This is not like a person who can be caught by an idle person. I don't understand why his reputation is like this now... Judging from those rumors, he is definitely not the pillar of a country. Are those rumors false?"

"Unfortunately, it's basically true."

"Why is that?"

"What kind of person is the consul he is depends on what position he is in." Hei Tianping replied, "I also think he is an excellent person. But when his identity is the 'Alemani Consul', he can only be a fool who does nothing and is extravagant."

"Sorry... I still don't understand."

"The consul of the Almani Federation serves for life, but it adopts an electoral system. Have you ever heard of how he was elected as a consul?"

"……I have no idea."

"Because twenty years ago, he led the split Almani Federal nobles in a decisive battle, repelled the invasion of Ragner Lord Brock and avoided the destruction of the Federation."

"That notorious pirate king? Carolin has ever defeated such an opponent?"

"Yes, this is the direct reason why he was elected as the consul, but unfortunately, it was just a lie made up by the important nobles of the time."

"The consul was only twenty years old at that time, unknown, his father was only a baron, and because he was short, he was not even a knight. As long as he thought about it, it would be impossible for such a person to command the princes of the Federation, let alone repel Ragna Lodbrok. The consul was indeed on the battlefield at that time, but he was pulled out from the sea of ​​corpses of the Almani coalition from later reinforcements. Ragna Lodbrok fought a beautiful annihilation battle. The reason why he retreated was only because of insufficient supplies."

"You confused me," said Princess Navarra. "It was not his, and the nobles knew it was not his, so why should he choose him as the leader?"

“For balance.”

The black balance put the flat on the table and took off the weights on it bit by bit.

"Speaking of this, the consuls are actually the main branch of the Carolingian clan. Unfortunately, they had gradually lost power in the federation and had only reputation. At that time, many great princes appeared in the federation, but there was a lack of a person with enough reputation to rule them. The former consul died in battle when the invasion of Ragna and Lodbrok. No matter which great prince was elected as consul, it would trigger a civil war. If so, the federation would be divided and gone. So, he emerged from nowhere and survived the disaster, and without any strength, he became the best candidate. The great princes fabricated his achievements and pushed him to the position of the consul as the present, in order to maintain the apparent survival of the federation."

"You mean... he was a puppet who was deliberately pushed into this position?"

"That's it." The black scale straightened the scale, and then took the weights on the table back into his pocket one by one. "Duke Otto, Duke Burgundy, Duke of Bavaria, Duke of Aquitaine, King of Bohemia... If he was not willing to be a consul who did nothing, accomplished nothing, and even was a little crazy, his position would have been replaced by others."

Princess Navara was surprised. Just as she was about to ask something, the sound of the door was pressed from the hatch. Bai Gong leaned against the door and looked at the black balance with a serious face:
