Vedsk in late autumn is filled with a festive atmosphere.
For all the people of Kaoqi, today is indeed a festival worth celebrating - their respected emperor, His Majesty Horkels III, is about to get married.
The grand wedding ceremony will be held at the end of two months later, but the engagement will be at the end of this month.
His Majesty the Emperor's engagement ceremony must be extremely grand. For this kind of event that only happens once in His Majesty's life, the Ka'aoqi royal family will never be stingy with money. In fact, the scale of Emperor Ka'aoqi's engagement and wedding ceremony far exceeds any other
A festive and grand wedding often costs nearly one-third of the national treasury.
As for the nobles from other vassals, they would also present expensive gifts. Anyway, for the emperor's wedding, the gifts were prepared locally, so there was no need to pay them all out of their own pockets, so the gifts were often extremely expensive. What's more, these nobles spent a lot on gifts.
He put a lot of thought and brains into it, wanting to be different and original. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor's wedding also became a grand event where rare treasures competed for beauty.
As the capital city, Vydsk certainly needs to be dressed up.
Different from the Victory Day memorial ceremony, since the engagement ceremony to celebrate His Majesty the Emperor is paid for by the treasury, the decorations on the streets and alleys and the renovation of each square are all spent on the fiscal revenue accumulated over the years, all of which are yellow and shiny treasury gold coins.
, naturally no matter the cost, try to decorate it as perfectly as possible.
His Majesty the Emperor only gets married once in nearly a hundred years. It is extremely rare.
First of all, His Majesty the Emperor must be young enough, and he has never had a princess before ascending the throne, which is already quite difficult.
Secondly, this marriage must be the first marriage of His Majesty the Emperor. Although divorce is not allowed in the Kingdom of Kaoqi, only the first marriage is considered pure and sacred. Therefore, except for the first marriage,
There is no reason for His Majesty the Emperor to spend so much blood and sweat of his subjects on marriage.
In the end, Her Majesty the Queen must gain the support of her subjects. A foreign princess or a woman who only knows how to charm His Majesty the Emperor with her beautiful appearance is not qualified to have the blessings of all the Kaoqi people.
.
Therefore, there are only a handful of such grand and solemn weddings that have ever been held in the history of Kaoqi.
And His Majesty Horkels III was lucky enough to have all the conditions.
In the eyes of many people, the love between the young Emperor and Miss Milinda, although not a classic, is at least unique.
Indeed, such a quasi-queen is unique in the history of Kaoqi and any other country.
The strange and unimaginable habits of Her Majesty the Queen-to-be are as well-known as her charming appearance.
Although the queen-to-be is so eccentric, it does not mean that people are opposed to this strange woman. In fact, Miss Milinda has a pretty good reputation among the people. The great achievements of wiping out the Blood Fox Thieves Group have already been deeply imprinted on the people.
In people's minds, that was a feat similar to that of Kobe Leo destroying another group of thieves.
Although, people can't help but privately wonder what role Sophie's little curse mage, who was only briefly mentioned in the credit book, played in this battle.
With such powerful magic as the backing, it is not difficult to win the war.
But no one was willing to attribute such a credit to a foreigner. They preferred to believe that their future Queen commanded the entire battle.
Secondly, when destroying another group of thieves, the great mage Kobe Leo also received help from the little forbidden spell mage.
Although, everyone absolutely believed that even without this kind of help, it would still be an easy task for them to respect Kobe Leo to eliminate those thieves.
Compared with the great wizard Kobe Leo, Miss Milinda can do as well as others. In the eyes of the world, it is simply a miracle. What's more, despite the strict blockade by the court, in Stryer and several nearby areas
Everything that happens in the county is more or less spread to the ears of people in other places.
According to rumors, Milinda's reputation is as high as that of the great wizard Kobe Leo.
Although the reputations of "Saint" Bertina and "Prophet" Enleco are still higher than Milinda.
However, without personal experience and without receiving actual benefits, most Kaoqi people still support their future queen more than two foreigners from hostile countries.
In fact, people hope that the Queen-to-be, who has strange hobbies, can become the second fair and strict Kobe Leo.
Her Majesty the Queen-to-be has another special identity. She is the sister of the Prime Minister Somilet. And Somilet represents most of the forces in the court and foreign vassals. Her Majesty the Queen-to-be and the Prime Minister have a strong blood relationship.
Therefore, most Kaoqi people believe that Miss Milinda can do a better job than the great wizard Kobe Leo when she becomes queen. In addition, there are rumors that the niece of Lord Kobe Leo, "
"Angel" Miss Fenacia has accepted Duke Hagriro's proposal.
Although the means used by Hegeero to achieve his goals are extremely despised by most Kaoqi people. However, the hard-liners in the foreign vassal represented by Duke Hegeero and the moderate faction headed by the great wizard Kobi Leo
The marriage is the heartfelt congratulations of all the Kaoqi people.
Many Kaoqi people seem to have seen a bright future.
Through two significant marriages, the deep-rooted conflicts in the Kaoqi Kingdom for hundreds of years were completely resolved.
Their lives can get better and become like heaven - at least that's how many people in Strayer County describe their current lives.
Because of this, everyone in Vedsk worked hard to decorate the city they lived in, and eagerly looked forward to the wedding as soon as possible.
This is true among the people, let alone in the palace.
Over the past month, everything in the palace has been extremely busy.
The palace chamberlains are the busiest group of people.
They have to take care of the craftsmen, decorate the palace, purchase things needed for the wedding ceremony, and collect gifts from the nobles in the capital and nearby counties. During these days, the few chamberlains in the palace
The manager was not even allowed to have time to eat or sleep. Each of his eyes was bloodshot and his eye sockets were sunken. For them, this was the busiest and most stressful month.
The news of His Majesty's intention to get engaged was announced too hastily. There was still half a month left, and they had to make all preparations.
Although it is said that there is only an engagement ceremony at the end of the month and the wedding will be held two months later, according to His Majesty the Emperor's will, the wedding is likely to be held early.
In addition to these general managers, the most hardworking person is the finance minister.
Every day he would come to the palace early, followed by a dozen strong men, carrying five or six iron boxes filled with gold coins.
All of them are experts in calculation and accounting, and they must know the prices of most goods well. Incompetent people will only add to the confusion.
Most of these accountants were borrowed at high prices from major merchants in Vedsk, and many of them were wealthy bosses themselves. The accountants maintained by the imperial court in the Ministry of Finance were of no use at all.?
In addition to this important minister who manages the country's finances, the Holy Knights and the Magic Association are also very busy.
The Holy Knights, who are the bodyguards of His Majesty the Emperor, originally did not need to take care of these "chores". However, time and manpower were so tight that even the Holy Knights were put to use. Anyway, they have plenty of strength and can handle all the lifting work.
Finish it for them.
Regarding all this, the Holy Knights have no complaints, because they know better than anyone else why His Majesty the Emperor is eager to arrange the marriage.
His Majesty did not hide such an important matter from them. In order to fulfill His Majesty the Emperor's wish as soon as possible, what's the big deal in working as a temporary coolie?
What's more, in the Kaoqi Kingdom, there is a unique knight training method, which is like doing coolies. This is unique in the world and is an unheralded secret of the knight family of the Kaoqi Kingdom.
Most holy knights come from knight families with a long history, and they have been familiar with this kind of training since they were young. Therefore, for them, returning to their old profession is just a matter of brushing up on the basics.
As for those magicians, if they want to make the bleak late autumn season appear full of vitality, like spring when flowers are blooming or summer when plants are flourishing, they can only rely on the power of magicians. Of course, for the past
For the Kaoqi Kingdom Magic Association, which is dominated by wind and fire magicians, it is much easier to burn down a forest than to make flowers bloom.
However, fortunately, there is a little magician Sophie who is proficient in all types of magic and can use magic in all kinds of incredible places.
Moreover, this little magician knows how to teach others magic, and he has a close friendship with the great wizard Kobe Leo. Wouldn't it be a pity to leave such a useful and reliable tool unused?
Because of this, the magicians of all sizes in the Vedsk Magic Association temporarily acted as magic apprentices.
The person who instructs them how to use magic is a real magic apprentice. He is not even a magic apprentice, just a magic apprentice trial student.
In Vedsk, the only person who spent a day in the garden without any thought, except pruning the flower branches and making various exquisite floral decorations from the freshly picked flowers, was His Majesty the Emperor Heko
Charles III.
Apart from trying on a few new clothes, he didn't have to do anything. He had always been extremely confident about the work ability of his men. Those guys were prone to making mistakes and didn't quite know how to do things, but they were loyal.
, was sent by him to do coolies. Therefore, he could wait leisurely for the engagement ceremony.
However, there are times when His Majesty the Emperor has difficulty taking leisure time, and that is when the imperial guards come with the decree of Her Majesty the Queen Mother to announce his entry into the Queen Mother's palace.
Horkels III reluctantly left his chair and stood up. As a thin mist rose, the flowers on the table in front of him were enveloped in a piece of crystal clear ice. The Empress Dowager summoned this person.
The supreme leader also had to put down the work he was doing.
The Empress Dowager's palace is on the west side of the imperial city. In a garden of nearly ten acres, there are several palaces that are both magnificent and elegant. One of them is a palace made of large pieces of white marble.
That is the Empress Dowager's palace.
Arriving at the door of the palace, Horkels III was about to ask the maid standing at the door to make an announcement. But the Queen Mother's voice came from inside the door: "Is this His Majesty the Emperor?
Come in quickly."
Horkels agreed, opened the door curtain and walked in. He saw that the palace was filled with colorful brocades, colored silks, and various kinds of exquisite jewelry.
A dozen old maids who had been serving Her Majesty the Queen Mother were standing there cleaning up. Next to them were two noble ladies who were pointing and telling the female accountant behind them to record something.
Horkels III recognized the two noble ladies. They were both nieces of the Queen Mother, and they were quite popular with the Queen Mother.
Apparently Her Majesty the Empress Dowager had given instructions in advance. When the emperor came in, the ladies and maids immediately stopped what they were doing, bowed in accordance with court etiquette, and then left the palace.
This palace does not have a dividing wall, but the two-meter-high and ten-meter-wide sandalwood inlaid with ivory carved screen naturally divides the palace into two.
The outside half is where the Queen Mother receives guests. Those ministers, wives, and relatives of the emperor, who are usually on good terms with the Queen Mother, are often called into the bedroom to chat with the Queen Mother and relieve her boredom.
Although she is the Queen Mother of the Kaoqi Kingdom, this kind of life is actually extremely boring and lonely. Unlike other members of the royal family, the Queen Mother cannot move around casually. That is the dignity of the royal family. This kind of life
Only I, as the emperor, know how boring it is, but compared to my mother, I still have a lot of state affairs to take care of, so it doesn't seem boring.
What's more, I am ambitious and want to achieve eternal fame, so I don't care much about the many inconveniences that the supreme title of emperor brings to my life.
Although the Queen Mother would never interfere in her own affairs, but when her son gets married, like any ordinary family in the Kaoqi Kingdom, the Queen Mother will definitely be very busy...
Judging from the appearance outside, he must be preparing gifts for noble ladies from other vassals when they come to celebrate.
As the empress dowager of the Kaoqi Kingdom, there can be no mistakes at all in these places.
On the day of congratulations, I don't know how many ladies I have never seen before will come. When rewarding them, there can be no mistakes at all, because it is absolutely related to the loyalty of the foreign vassal to the dynasty.
There is an interesting phenomenon in the Kaoqi Kingdom. Bribing these noble ladies is equivalent to buying half of their husbands' loyalty. In the Kaoqi Kingdom, these women who do not care about the current situation have unexpected things.
With their power, they are completely able to manipulate the situation, worsening the situation to an unimaginable degree, or having the exact opposite effect.
Horkels III originally thought that the Queen Mother summoned him to the palace to ask him about the engagement ceremony and preparations for the wedding. However, he never expected that the Queen Mother was not concerned about these things.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I heard that you have dismissed Duke Hegeero and Prime Minister Someret?" the Queen Mother asked.
I glanced at my mother, who was leaning on a rosewood and ivy reclining chair, holding a small white copper heater in her hand, with a camel hair blanket embroidered with gold and red satin covering her waist. She still looked a little chilly.
His Majesty the Emperor felt extremely strange. The Queen Mother had never interfered in government affairs. Why would she ask such a question today?
"Don't worry, I don't want to interfere in state affairs. That's not something that an old lady like me should care about. I have lived with your father for so long and I have never interfered with a matter in the court. What's more, you are better than you.
My father is much stronger. I have always trusted you. I just want to know what you are planning in your heart. If possible, Emperor, please sit down and explain it to me so that I can understand." The Queen Mother obviously saw through He Ke.
"You obviously misunderstood. I did not dismiss Hegeelo and Somilet from their posts, but because I was about to get married, they used to be my best friends.
What's more, Milinda is Somilet's sister, so the two of them need to contribute to the wedding, so I just asked their deputies to temporarily take over their duties." His Majesty the Emperor sat down on the sofa next to him.
said.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you don't have to tell me if you really don't want to, but please don't lie to me. Although I am not interested in politics at all, I have stayed in the house of a politician (your grandfather) for twenty years.
Until I married your father and lived with your father for so long, even though I have never cared about politics, I know very well what a politician looks like when he lies, not to mention, you are my son.
, you can't lie to me." The Queen Mother said gently.
Horkels III frowned and thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have indeed temporarily dismissed Hageello and Somilet from all their positions."
"Do you want to take back the emperor's authority?"
"Yes, now is the best time." Horkels III said bluntly. "I remember my father once said that it may not be a good thing for the King of Kaoqi to lose his power, although the country cannot go further.
It became stronger and stronger, but it avoided the danger of the Kaoqi Kingdom being completely overthrown. I don’t understand politics, but at least I know that the foundation of this empire drawn up by your ancestor, the great hero, is not unreasonable." Emperor
The Queen Mother said.
"Yes, the old prime minister of Russia once said the same thing, but the power of the foreign vassals has expanded too much, and it is necessary to take back some of it."
"Should you take back some? Or take back all? I have already guessed what you are thinking. When you were hanging out with Hegeelo and Somyret, I had already guessed that you might be with your father.
The Emperor, the Ancestor Emperor has taken a completely different path. You don’t want to follow the path of checks and balances like them. You want to take back the imperial power. You want to restrain those foreign vassal forces by supporting Haigero and Somyret, and then
Completely take back the imperial power.
"It's just that, after taking control of the real power, Hageelo and Somyret did not want to give up the power in their hands. They followed the old path of the foreign nobles of the Kaoqi Kingdom who relied on their own troops for generations. They
You single-handedly brought him to power, but he is also a more difficult opponent to deal with than the original foreign nobles and court ministers, isn't he?" The Queen Mother asked. "Yes, Hegeelo and Somyret are indeed two people.
Rare talents, and precisely because of this, I still hope that they can come back and stand with me. The door to welcome them will never be closed, but I can no longer accept that this has lasted for hundreds of years.
The situation is changing, Queen Mother, have you ever thought about it, with the imperial power on the sidelines and foreign vassals fighting for power and profit, it is the people who are really suffering.
"To be honest, I don't think the ancestor's decision back then was correct, because he definitely did not foresee today's situation, that the power of foreign vassals would be out of control, and that in order to strengthen his own power, he did not foresee that
Those foreign nobles would be so cruel in squeezing the common people. If he saw all this, he would probably admit that he was wrong back then." Horkels III became extremely excited in a rare emotion.
"Yes, those foreign vassals are indeed getting more and more excessive, but it is an indisputable fact that all of this can continue and exist for such a long time, allowing the Kingdom of Kaoqi to enjoy longer peace and tranquility than any other country.
." The Queen Mother said with a sigh.
"However, the situation has changed now. There is a brand-new method that can replace the original method. This brand-new method will not only enable the Kingdom of Kaoqi to completely get rid of the problem of foreign vassals competing for power, but also for the people,
They will have freedoms and rights they have never had before. You may not know that in the Kingdom of Kaoqi, there is such a paradise-like land for the people. There is not much barrier between the common people and the nobles, and there is not much separation between the believers of the gods.
There will be no confrontation because of different beliefs. The disabled, whether poor or rich, can be treated. There are no poor people, and there is no privilege to be above all. Have you ever heard of such a land? "His Majesty the Emperor?
said.
"I know that what you are talking about is Stryer County. I have heard what happened there many times. I know that you want what happened in Chengdaville to be extended to the entire Kaoqi Kingdom.
, if it can succeed, it will indeed be a pioneering work, and I also know what role your sweetheart played in the scene that happened in Chengdaville...
"This lady will obviously become your strong supporter and excellent assistant, just like Hegeelo and Somiret back then. However, I still hope that you can cooperate with Hegeelo and Somiret.
Special reconciliation, Milinda is indeed very strong, very capable, and resourceful, but there are still many things that she cannot do. Although, I know that in terms of force, she is even above Hagriro, and in terms of resourcefulness.
, she surpassed her brother, and she is indeed proud of us women, but will other people believe it? Can you count on a queen to help you seize power and help you govern the country? " said the Queen Mother.
.
"Indeed, I really hope that Hagriro and Somylet will change their minds, but the initiative is in their hands. Are they willing to give up everything? I really want to rely on them. The three of us have known each other since we were children.
I know their talents and weaknesses very well, and I know that cooperation between the three of us will almost always be beneficial, but they have already abandoned me. Using Milinda may be the only way out of necessity, but...
There is a better candidate in my mind."
"Is that Sophie the little forbidden spell mage?" Her Majesty the Queen Mother asked.
Horkels III was also surprised that his mother knew so many things. He had obviously underestimated his mother in the past, thinking that her mother was an old lady who did not care about the world.
It seems that Archbishop Meron once said that he lacks a correct understanding of the things he is most familiar with around him. Obviously this is another new example.
"That little mage is already a thunderbolt to me. He gained your absolute trust not long after he arrived at the Kaoqi Kingdom. He has a very good relationship with Kobe and Li Aoqing's family. He also ordered a national artifact at the Victory Day memorial ceremony."
"Lucian Scepter" recognized him as his master, and then he was canonized as an imperial envoy by you? The minister visited various places. When he was in Chengdaville, he created holy water, formed a magic corps, unified various religions, built hospitals and
The House of Representatives has made this remote county a paradise on earth. Someone has mentioned all this to me a long time ago, and it must be him you want to use." said the Queen Mother.
"Yes, this man is very talented. He has magic power as powerful as Kobe Leo, and his wisdom is definitely far above that of Hegeero and Somiret. The most valuable thing is that although he has such a powerful power, he
He has no ambition at all like Kobe and Leo."
"What I heard is similar to your opinion. He is indeed an interesting little guy, but don't forget that he is a Sophie, and Sophie and Kaoqi are not necessarily so harmonious.
"
"I have given up the idea of attacking the Kingdom of Sophie. If necessary, Kaoqi and Sophie can conclude any form of brotherhood treaty. I have absolute sincerity to peacefully coexist with Sophie." Horkels III
said.
"You may not even believe everything you say, right?
Nowadays, peaceful coexistence with the Kingdom of Sophie can no longer be solved by whether you are willing or not. Maybe the Kingdom of Sophie did pray for peace before this, but now, they must rather believe in their own strength. "If, I am
King of the Kingdom of Sophie, I will recall that genius and let him transform the Kingdom of Sophie into the most powerful country in the world and use his powerful strength to ensure his own peace. Even a person like me has never done this.
King Sophie will surely not think of things that even an old lady in state affairs can think of. And you, my son, have not thought of these things, right?" the Queen Mother said with a smile.
Hearing what his mother said, Horkels III shook his head and smiled bitterly. This is the thing he is most worried about now. Enleco can make his country prosperous and developed, and he can also make Sophie the most powerful in the world.
country.
In fact, in every aspect, the conditions of the Kingdom of Sophie are more generous than those of Kaoqi.
As the country with the largest number of magicians in the world, the Kingdom of Sophie is the country with the most hope of forming a huge army of magicians.
The Kingdom of Sophie also has one of the most powerful heavily armored knights in the world. The dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is obviously not a technology that is still being tried in the Kingdom of Sophie. The way to achieve such a state, according to myself
There are two known types. One is the method that Enleco taught Milinda, which can only be mastered by extremely skilled paladin, and the other is the magical ability possessed by the magic knight Kate.
Therefore, whether it is relying on magicians or cavalry regiments, the possibility of failure in the war with the Kingdom of Sophie is extremely high.
As for the forbidden curse attack that is the most boastful in the Kaoqi Kingdom's military power, it is also useless to the Kingdom of Sophie. Enleco alone knows two forbidden curses with completely different properties.
What's more, there is an even more powerful princess behind him, whose strength is unfathomable, and whose temperament is far less docile than Enleco's. No one dares to know how many kinds of forbidden spells this powerful witch has mastered.
Make premature assertions.
However, at least one thing is clear and unmistakable. Her Royal Highness the Princess is not afraid of forbidden curse attacks at all, not even the most powerful forbidden curse attacks in the legend.
Attacking the Kingdom of Sophie is undoubtedly self-destruction. This has almost become the consensus of the Kaoqi court.
However, considering the ancient tradition of knights in the Kingdom of Sophie, the possibility of being preemptively attacked by the Kingdom of Sophie is not high. For hundreds of years, the Kingdom of Sophie has never taken the initiative to attack other countries. Because of this, this
The country was originally considered to be too old and inactive. However, even so, Horkels III was not willing to see this aging country become strong.
This country is also extremely dangerous. Just imagine what will happen to this country if it has the country's top military commander, the absolutely unique Qiao, and the terrifying eldest princess who is super powerful and has a super strong temper.
Any changes are not surprising.
It is precisely for this reason that His Majesty the Emperor is never willing to give up the hope of winning over Hegeelo and Somyret. Because once a war breaks out with the Kingdom of Sophie, the only way to win is to divide the troops into two groups.
One way was led by Hegeello, and the other was led by Milinda. Either one of them could be evenly matched with Joe, and the other person became the key to victory.
This is the only advantage in the comparison of strength between the Kingdom of Kaoqi and the Kingdom of Sophie.
However, the only regret now is that Hegeiro is not on his side. Suddenly, the Emperor wants to hear what his mother thinks. Perhaps, he has never paid close attention to this
The people closest to you.
Horkels III asked: "Queen Mother, everything you said is undoubtedly correct. Do you have any advice?"
"Child, have you always thought why Hegeelo and Somyret have always refused to compromise with you? Do you think that Hegeelo and the others have always been on the opposite side of you? Do you think that you are so tolerant and open to them?
The door to return? However, have you ever thought that since you have established this door, it means that you have abandoned Hageello and the others outside the door. You have drawn a front, and they stand outside the line.
Is he standing on your opposite side?
"Why did you get close to them back then? It was because of their talents. Think about it, could Hagrid and Someret see this? You wanted to use them as powerful tools, but they were easy to use.
The tool suddenly becomes unusable at all, so you blame the tool, right?
"You keep saying that they used to be your best friends, but do you really treat them as friends? You want them to give up everything, but have you ever thought about giving up everything? I doubt that you appreciate that question.
Is Finn the little magician because he is very talented? Or is it because he has no ambition?" "Give up? If I give up, only the throne can give up. In the court, Sommeret controls everything, and Hagrid
Aiello is the leader of the nobles of the outer vassal. Apart from the throne, I have nothing to give up." Horkels III said.
"You still have the Holy Knights. The emperors of Kaoqi all regarded the Holy Knights as their personal guards. You asked Haigero and Somyret to give up everything. Why didn't you give up the Holy Knights first? Do you want to
If you want to break something that Kaoqi has inherited for hundreds of years, have you never thought that the things in your own hands need to be broken first?
"You asked Haigero, Someret and those nobles from outside the vassal to give up everything, but you didn't give up anything of your own. You even took the things they gave up into your own hands. This can really
Can it solve the problem that Kaoqi has been confused about for hundreds of years?
"Is it really because of their loyalty that you want to trust and reuse those businessmen now? Or is it because they don't have the ability to compete with you for power?"
Her Majesty the Queen Mother asked. Hearing that the Queen Mother, who never expressed any opinions, actually said such astonishing words, Horkels III was surprised: "Queen Mother, do you mean to treat the Holy Knights as an ordinary legion?
Leave it to the military commander-in-chief of Kaoqi to use it. While canceling the influence of foreign vassals, it will also cancel all the privileges granted by the imperial power? Is that so?"
"I am not a politician, but I once heard my father say that a good politician must be fair, or at least appear fair, so that he can be convincing. For a good politician, prestige is
The value of power is far greater than the actual power, because power will change due to the movements of one or two important people, but the prestige established through hard work is difficult to completely shake.
"If you want Hagriro and Somiret to become your loyal subordinates again, you must first think carefully about them, put yourself in their shoes, let them accept you, and give them fair treatment.
.”
"Yes, Queen Mother, I will remember this. Maybe handing over the Holy Knights to Hegeero can truly unleash their power. As for Somilet, I think Kobe Li Aoqing is already tired of this order.
Politics is a headache for him. If it weren't for the promise he made to the old Prime Minister Ross to do all he could to protect the Kaoqi Kingdom, he would have resigned from all his current positions. I think it is time to realize his wish.
.”
Horkels III obviously understood everything his mother said, and he quickly formulated a complete plan in his mind, including who would take on a certain position and who would succeed him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what the Emperor said, the Empress Dowager shook her head and said: "I don't understand anything about you men, and I don't want to understand, but I know at least one thing. , you can grant them power, or you can revoke their power. That is not true trust. Letting Somilet replace Kobe Leo also does not represent the reconciliation between hardliners and moderates. You men only know how to use Means, in the eyes of us women, are of no use at all. Only by controlling the heart can a person be loyal to you forever. Isn’t the marriage between you and Milinda a good way to win over Somilet? Already?
"Don't think that Milinda betrayed her brother. Somilet regards Milinda as an enemy. Blood is thicker than water, and flesh and blood love can never be wiped away. As for Hagrid, you should know him best. What is the desire? Don’t you know about their family? What is their family’s greatest concern from generation to generation, and what is it that they are ultimately doomed for? Is it power? If I say Hagriello’s The ambitions of family members are even smaller than that of Kobe Leo. Others may not believe it at all, but do you think so too? As long as you grant Haguero's wish, he will follow you through fire and water. Do you even think of this? Don’t understand?”
When His Majesty the Queen Mother suddenly mentioned this big problem that puzzled him the most, the Emperor didn't know how to answer it.
In fact, this problem has already become an absolutely unsolvable dead end. What was once a very interesting joke in my opinion has now become a key point that affects the overall situation. However, this key point... It's simply not something he can control or change.
Although he is the emperor of the most powerful country in the world, he has absolutely no ability to turn a boy into a girl.
Now, for me, the joke is no longer funny at all.
Presumably, the initiator, Princess Sophie, also feels the same...
His Majesty the Emperor already knew everything about the small door next to the princess's bedroom that led to the personal guard's bedroom.
Regarding Enleco's reaction, the resourceful king's guess was exactly the same as the intelligence collected. Everything that happened before was so painful for this little magician that it left an inexorable trace deep in his heart. The scar that has been erased, no matter how much the princess comforts it, this scar cannot be healed.
In addition, His Majesty the Emperor is also well aware that the most gloating accomplice, the Great Mage Kobe Leo, has already felt extremely painful.
He brought it upon himself and set himself in trouble. Now, his bear's den has become the last place he wants to go back to. Countless ladies come to his bear's den every day for no reason. He doesn't dare to do any of these women. offend.
This fat bear now has nothing to do and asks himself to find things to do all day long, just to take the opportunity to avoid those women.
And he was just a spectator at first, but now he feels on pins and needles. If possible, he also wants to use Kobe Leo's trick.
However, the one who asked him was his mother, the Queen Mother, and he could not hide from it. His Majesty the Emperor suddenly understood who told the Queen Mother everything that happened in Stryer County?
This whole thing has been carried out under an extremely confidential situation. It is absolutely impossible for outsiders to know so clearly. Especially since Hagero was defeated by Milinda's sword. Only Milinda knew about this matter.
Apart from Hegeero and himself, there were only a few trusted knights under Milinda.
Milinda and her knights will never make this matter public.
Haguero will never publicize his failure everywhere, but he also has a resourceful mother. That lady can definitely make her son confess everything, and this lady is also a close friend of Her Majesty the Queen Mother.
His Majesty the Emperor knows very well about Hegeello's mother, the founder of the Goddess of Life Cult, the Holy Lady back then, and that miserable marriage. His Majesty the Emperor knew it clearly from the chief priest Meron.
.
If it is said that everything Her Majesty the Queen Mother just said was researched by this lady and the Queen Mother together, Horkels III would not be surprised at all.
In fact, His Majesty the Emperor also has deep admiration for this lady who was once all-powerful back then.
This lady single-handedly founded the Goddess of Life sect, brought hope to the common people, and sowed the seeds of change in Kaoqi.
Without this lady, the changes Enleco implemented in Stryer County would not have been able to run so smoothly. From the information coming from all sides, His Majesty the Emperor already knew: the original supporters of that vigorous change and
The supporters are those believers of the Goddess of Life.
Without these people, the establishment of the hospital would be impossible. Without the establishment of the hospital, Enleco could only treat a few patients in Strayer County, and after a short walk, he would leave that place, and the revolution would be over.
will become something that has never happened before.
And it was precisely because of the establishment of the hospital that he was trapped in Strayer County.
Therefore, it can be said that the lady was the major contributor behind this change.
Hagriro actually lost at the hands of his mother.
If it is said that everything this lady proposed to Her Majesty the Queen Mother was for the people of the Kaoqi Kingdom, Horkels III would not doubt it at all, because everything this lady did back then is the best proof.
.
However, this strategy is undoubtedly for the happiness of her own son, and His Majesty the Emperor can definitely be sure of this.
This lady's methods are indeed superb.
The bait she threw was so sweet, and it was undoubtedly a fatal temptation for herself, just like the one Enleco did in Strayer County, which made the upper-class nobles salivate. Knowingly accepting all this, for
Although they will have unlimited prospects, it will also be accompanied by huge risks, and they will face a powerful enemy.
Now, this confusion is also before my eyes.
If he goes as planned by the Empress Dowager and that lady, there is no doubt that Hegeiro will give up everything and serve him loyally.
After leaving Hegeero, Somyret would be left alone. As long as he comforted Somiret through Milinda, he would surely return to his control.
However, in this way, Enleco is abandoned.
If his guess was correct, Enleco would definitely run away.
In this way, there are two possibilities, or Enleco and the princess escape back to the Kingdom of Sophie, then the Kingdom of Sophie will become the most powerful country in the world in no time.
However, after escaping back to Sophie, Enleco was undoubtedly completely under the control of the princess.
His teacher, the terrifying eldest princess, was there. It was useless for Enleco to "rebel", as he would be "suppressed" immediately.
The final outcome must be his union with the princess, because this is the best way to control Enleco. If Enleco was not a fool, he would have considered this.
Then there is a second way for Enleco, which is to give up the princess and defect to other countries, and this is an outcome that he does not want to see.
The Kingdom of Sophie is famous for its conservatism. It has a powerful cavalry regiment and many magicians, but it rarely starts wars. It is basically a peaceful and tranquil country.
However, several other countries are completely different.
Among them, the most dangerous one for the Kingdom of Kaoqi is undoubtedly the United Kingdom of Leiding.
Two hundred years ago, this country was the most war-torn place in the world, and there was rarely more than twenty years of peace and tranquility.
What is even more frightening is that these wars were carried out to the extreme, with superb warfare techniques and cruel processes that were unprecedented in history.
However, two hundred years ago, after a great war that changed everything, this land full of disputes finally merged into a unified country from divided small countries. Over the past two centuries, this country's military strength has weakened considerably.
There is no longer a strong army, but it is still regarded as the most dangerous country by all countries.
That's because the blood of those who rule this country flows with a kind of crazy and evil blood. In order to achieve their goals, they are willing to sell everything, even their own lives.
What's more, this country is the only country in the world with two great magicians. They are the direct descendants of the ancient magic empire. They are the descendants of the ancient magicians who betrayed the emperor of the magic empire and survived. They inherited the
Sins from ancient bloodlines.
Once such a country gets Enleco and becomes stronger, it will definitely be a disaster for the Kaoqi Kingdom.
And this possibility is extremely high.
The two senior intelligence officers sent by the Kingdom of Leding to Vedsk had already regarded Enleco as their first target, and all this happened before Enleco went on tour.
Ever since Enleco created such a miracle in Stryer County, his importance in the eyes of the two intelligence officers of the Kingdom of Leding has once again increased several times. Even though Enleco was lucky enough to escape Leding.
The omnipresent black hand of the Ding Kingdom. If he defected to the Montita Kingdom, it would also be a disaster for the Kaoqi Kingdom.
The Montita Kingdom and Kaoqi are feuding, and there is no doubt that the powerful Montita Kingdom will threaten the security of the Kaoqi Kingdom.
Originally, the Kingdom of Montita was the poorest and weakest among all countries, and it was once reduced to a "hunting" paradise for the Kingdom of Kaoqi.
But two hundred years ago, a powerful monarch appeared in this country, and he led the people of Montita to rise up against the Kingdom of Kaoqi.
Although this resistance ultimately ended in failure, in the following ten years, Montita's resistance struggles continued one after another, leaving the Kaoqi Kingdom in a state of distress. In addition, there was a sudden power dispute in the country, and there was no time to take care of Montita.
, the country finally gained independence.
At the beginning, this country was extremely weak, with almost nothing except a large number of light cavalry troops. However, this emerging country had vigorous vitality.
It has developed rapidly, especially in the past half century. Through exchanges with other countries, this country has established a powerful light armored cavalry regiment and even has its own great magician. In addition, the Kingdom of Montita is very good at
Absorb the strengths of other countries.
Horkels III has several pieces of information indicating that the Kingdom of Montita is trying to do what Enleco did in Chengdaville.
The transformation in Strayer County has only taken three months so far.
The threat from the Montita Kingdom was also one of the reasons why His Majesty the Emperor decided to implement comprehensive reforms.
If Enleco falls into the hands of the Montita Kingdom, a full-scale war will inevitably break out between him and this feud.
There is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation in this war. Either Kaoqi will completely destroy Montita, or the Kaoqi kingdom will destroy itself.
There is absolutely no possibility of the second outcome.
Horkels III suddenly felt extremely helpless.
He had great trust and absolute appreciation for Enleco. But it was this talented little magician who made him feel reluctant to give up for the first time in his life, but had to give up.
