曾达的囚徒读后感英文收集(10)

The Duke wanted to usurp the throne as well as marry Princess Flavia, who was already betrothed to King Rudolf. The army wanted Black Michael as King of Ruritania but Colonel Sapt and Fritz, who were loyal servants of King Rudolf wanted Rudolf Rassendyll to help King Rudolf from being imprisoned or killed by Black Michael. Since Rudolf Rassendyll resembled the King in every way he was to impersonate the King and be crowned as King Rudolf the Fifth in Strelsau.
He was tutored by the two men on the protocol while the King lay motionless in the cellar at the hunting lodge of Black Michael. On the day of the coronation, Rudolf Rassendyll observes that the people of Ruritania were divided in their loyalty for King Rudolf. The " New Town" wanted Rudolf as the King while the "Old Town" favoured the Duke as King.
