Hearing the cautious words of Mrs. Livia in the second row of the dining table on her right, Veronica smiled and replied:
"These are all delicious. Mrs. Livia, your cooking skills are amazing."
After saying that, she picked up a piece of meat that seemed to be made in some mature way and handed it to Soshiyang's mouth. In order to coordinate the height of the two, Soshiyang sat cross-legged on the cushion while Veronica was sitting on the chair.
"Husband, let's eat it."
Although Soshiyan was a little helpless, she opened her mouth. Such intimate behavior surprised Ada around her. Charlie and Kay were whispering close to each other, while Curtilia blinked curiously. Luvia Greta, who was sitting in the last row on the right, always seemed very cold, but her after-lights kept passing Soshiyan.
"The relationship between Your Majesty and Your Highness is really enviable."
After the initial surprise, Livia smiled and sighed from the bottom of her heart:
"It's really not easy."
Veronica blinked and asked:
"Why do you say that?"
"When you go back to Your Majesty, although the civilian women have never seen any world, I also know that even men and women from different clans must break through many obstacles to love each other, grudges between clans, ideas of parents, words and visions of people around you... These are all obstacles that love and marriage must be overcome, and you and Your Highness have to overcome more than these. This difficulty must be unimaginable. Perhaps this is the true compassion of the Mother Goddess..."
"Madam Livia, you don't seem to mind Soshiyan's race?"
"All living beings, all have feelings, everyone knows what love is, and how can there be a huge difference? I think the true superiority should not be reflected in bloodline, but in soul and character..."
"Ahem—"
Valentinolavic coughed twice, as if he wanted his wife to stop the topic.
But Veronica didn't want to stop like this, she said softly:
"Mrs. Livia, your point of view really surprises me. I have heard countless stupid remarks over the years. It seems that in the eyes of some ministers, as long as Ada does, it is understandable, rather than Ada doing anything good, it is wrong or has ulterior motives... I don't even know what exactly makes them so narrow-minded."
"Your Majesty, it is this messy and war-torn Milky Way. Ada is as despicable as the slave traders of Comoros, and human beings are as despicable as those slaves of great enemies. But people often tend to remember those bad things more easily. Just like this invasion, the people of Linnaeus may not forget it for hundreds of years, but this does not affect His Highness as a great leader, and your lover, and human beings... are indeed very complicated."
Livia glanced at her husband, seemed to tell her that she was sensible, and then said:
"Your Majesty may not know that the clan I am in was not the first of Linnaeus's people, but the refugees who escaped from another virgin world. It was almost ten thousand years ago. Our ancestors lived in another world. One day, they learned that a nearby world was tortured by slave traders in Comoros. Out of mercy, we saved those humans and allowed them to settle on our homeland. Both sides remained peaceful until... The Human Empire sent their brutal army, and the ancestors recorded that it was a group of dark-skinned demons, who burned the whole world, and those settled humans did not accept the persuasion and chose to fight side by side with Ada who took them in, until they were burned to ashes together. At that moment, weren't they the same as Ada in the eyes of the so-called compatriots?"
Veronica nodded.
"So that's it, no wonder your point of view is different, Madam."
At this time, Curtilia suddenly asked a question.
"Your Majesty, how did you meet your Highness?"
"Cortilia, don't be rude!"
Valentinolavic quickly scolded his daughter, while Veronica replied with a smile.
"Like any Ada first encounter with humans, of course it began with a conflict. I really wanted to kill him at that time, and so did he."
At this time, Prince Ivroyeia, Linnai, hesitated for a moment, put down his wine glass and spoke:
"Your Highness, I still can't understand why the royal court just let it go about this?"
"Shut up!"
Valentinolavic slapped the table and stared at his son.
"I said don't mention this anymore! If not, just go to the Dragon Team to reflect on it. Don't be embarrassed here!"
Soshyan took a sip of Frost wine. He knew what Ivroyeia was saying. In fact, before the battle was over, Si Zhan strongly expressed his desire to retaliate against the empire, and at least he would destroy the original world of the governor. The clowns of the Frost Stars Troupe were even more ready to move. It was he who forcibly suppressed these voices with the authority of the Eternal Queen.
When he put down his wine glass, he looked at Evroyeia calmly.
"Prince Ivroyeia, I think your father should have explained this to you, but this is a private occasion, and it's okay to say it... Any revenge comes at a cost. Pulling the trigger is a very easy thing, but the problems you need to face after pulling the trigger are not so easy. Prince, are you willing to sacrifice the lives of another 100 tribesmen to complete a revenge?"
Ivroyeia froze for a moment, then whispered:
"No...I don't want to, but..."
"Yvroyeia, I can tell you something very bluntly. I am an Astarte in the Empire. I know the power of the Empire better than anyone else. There are countless human individuals. They may be very fragile, but when they are also gathered together by the flames of revenge, it is by no means something that any Ada world can resist. A revenge may be a greater revenge. If it is just an ordinary Ada, I feel it is understandable, but you are the prince and the future heir of the Linnai Kingdom. What you have to see is the interests of the entire kingdom. If you cannot put collective interests above personal emotions, then you cannot be a leader well. This is why I have to tell you so much."
After hearing this, Ivroyeia looked down at the wine glass, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this time, Odval, who was in the first row on the left, immediately came out to smooth things over.
"Your Highness, I heard that the royal court is still preparing to recycle the lost Marante recently?"
Soshiyang nodded.
"Well, I have this plan. After all, I have come here and the distance is not far."
"The Ark World also participated in the rescue of us, but unexpectedly it was destroyed. Until now, we don't know what happened to Marante. Iyanden's compatriots are very secretive about this. Even if we want to recycle it, I think we should participate."
Odval's words were recognized by people around him, and Valentino Ravic also echoed:
"Yes, it once fought to save the Linnai Kingdom, and now even if it is only the shell left, we have reason to take it back from the dirty green skin."
Seeing the other party's statement, Soshiyang immediately responded:
Chapter completed!
