Chapter 798 Be Careful of Su Cheng and Jacob (Part 1)
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace.
Today is another day when Ilsa needs a history lesson.
In the study room, William, who was responsible for giving Ilsa history lessons, was waiting here early.
William stood by the window of the study. Although he looked out the window and seemed to be looking at something, it could be seen from his dull eyes that he was not paying attention to the scenery outside the window at the moment. He seemed to be thinking about it. What are you wearing?
Two days ago, the scene where he met the Frank in the dark alley reappeared in William's mind one by one.
What also came to William's mind was the method that the Frank told him about how to retaliate against Su Cheng.
As soon as he recalled the method of repaying Su Cheng mentioned by the Frank, William felt that his mouthpiece had become much dry due to nervousness.
The so-called method of the Frank was nothing more than saying a few words to His Majesty Ilsa.
But if that was really told to Ilsa, then the status of Su Cheng and Jacob in Ilsa's heart might really plummet.
Just thinking about the consequences made William's heart beat faster.
——If you say these words in front of His Majesty, it will indeed be difficult to attack the status of Su Cheng and Su Cheng’s big backer, Jacob.
--but……
——Do I really want to do this?
Until now, William is still hesitant.
Squeak.
There was the sound of the wooden door being opened behind the door.
William quickly turned back.
"His Majesty."
After seeing that the person who entered the door was Ilsa, William quickly lowered his head and saluted Ilsa.
Although she is now the emperor of the Britannia Empire, Ilsa's approachable character has not changed.
After greeting William cordially, he and William sat at the small table in the study.
William quietly paid attention to Ilsa while flipping through the textbooks he had made by himself.
Ilsa is still smiling today.
"Your Majesty." William whispered to Ilsa, "You seem to be in a good mood today."
"It seems that the great victory in the north really makes you happy."
"After all, this is the greatest victory our country has ever won against the Northern Kingdom." Ilsa said happily, "Teacher Cheng is a knight of our Britannia Empire. We are so lucky."
"I just discussed with Mr. Jacob what kind of reward should be given to Teacher Cheng."
"Mr. Jacob and I have always felt that it is time for Mr. Cheng to be promoted to the Four Knights."
"I remember... Teacher Cheng is only in his early 20s now."
"Teacher Cheng is going to break another record in our country - the youngest Four Knights in our country."
"Mr. Jacob also said just now: Judging from Teacher Cheng's ability and current age, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the 13th United Knight of our country."
"I'm really looking forward to the day when I hold the 'United Knight Promotion Ceremony' for Teacher Cheng."
Ilsa, who was in a good mood, talked excitedly there and didn't notice the change in William's face next to her.
——The Four Knights...
——Is that Su Cheng going to become the Four Knights...
Knights of the Britannia Empire were, to put it bluntly, senior officers in the army.
The levels of knights in the Britannia Empire are divided into five levels from low to high: New Laurel Knight, Double Oak Knight, Orchid Knight, Four Royal Knights, and Unified Knight.
Only those knights who have made great contributions to the empire are eligible to be promoted to unified knights.
It has been nearly 300 years since the Britannian Empire was founded, but during these 300 years, only 12 people have become a unified knight. From this, we can see how difficult it is to become a unified knight.
Just because it is too difficult to become a unity knight,
Therefore, it is the end when the knight reaches the level of the Four Knights.
When he thought that Su Cheng would soon become a Knight of the Four Knights, and would most likely become the 13th Unified Knight in the history of the empire in the future, a strong flame of jealousy ignited in his heart.
William closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
As if he had made up his mind, when he opened his eyes, the hesitation and confusion in his eyes were gone.
William gritted his teeth, cleared his dry throat, recalled what the Frank taught him two days ago, and then whispered to Ilsa:
"Your Majesty, please be careful of Su Cheng and Jacob."
"……Eh?"
William's unreasonable words made Ilsa couldn't help being stunned and cast a surprised look at William.
William gritted his teeth again, with a risk-taking attitude, and continued to say to Ilsa:
"Su Cheng is a rare genius general in our country, so while your Majesty is using him, please don't forget to be wary of him."
"While watching out for Su Cheng, please also be careful about Jacob."
"Why?" Ilsa asked urgently, "Why should I be wary of Teacher Cheng and Mr. Jacob?"
"Your Majesty, please recall carefully!" William raised his voice slightly, "Recall how Su Cheng climbed to his current position step by step!"
"I believe your Majesty also knows how Su Cheng became a knight."
"Su Cheng relied on Jacob's recommendation to become qualified to become a knight."
"Su Cheng's famous battle - the rescue battle of the Lunde Kingdom. Who secured the qualification for Su Cheng to participate in this battle? It was Jacob."
"Who helped Su Cheng to become the leader of the Knights of Michael? It was Jacob!"
"Su Cheng was promoted by Jacob. Jacob has at least 60% of the credit for Su Cheng's current position!"
"It can be said that without Jacob, there would be no Su Cheng."
"Su Cheng must be very clear about how much Jacob has done for Su Cheng."
"Your Majesty, if Su Cheng can only listen to one person between you and Jacob, do you think Su Cheng will listen to Jacob, who has done him a great favor, or will he listen to your Majesty, who has almost no other feelings and close ties with him except the simple master-disciple relationship?"
"It is more appropriate to say that Su Cheng is Jacob's subject rather than your Majesty's subject!"
William's words successfully choked Ilsa's rebuttal that she was about to say.
Ilsa was silent while thinking about what William had just said.
Although Ilsa was reluctant to admit it, William's words just now made sense.
Su Cheng was promoted by Jacob, and the relationship between the two is very good - everyone knows this.
If Su Cheng really can only listen to one of her and Jacob, Elsa thinks that Su Cheng may choose to listen to Jacob, who has a deep relationship with him and is very kind to him.
After a long silence, Elsa finally uttered a rebuttal:
"So what if Mr. Cheng is Mr. Jacob's subject? As long as Mr. Jacob obeys me and is my subject, isn't it enough?"
"As long as Mr. Jacob obeys me, then Mr. Cheng..."
Before Elsa finished her words, William asked back:
"What if Jacob doesn't obey your majesty?"
