The wood in the fireplace crackled, and a faint smell of rosin mingled with the fragrance of tea enveloped Sirah-Marne's nostrils, and she suddenly felt that the fine tea that His Majesty had given her was a little bitter.

"If Your Majesty thinks I can do it, I can try. Sirah-Marne no longer hesitated and excused herself, and then she asked, "Is there a need for a separate functional body?"

"After you return to the imperial capital, I will issue an imperial decree to establish the Ministry of State Information, which will be directly under the Office of the Military Aircraft Department, with you as the minister and Collier as the deputy minister. Pedi made a gesture of invitation to Sheila Marne, motioning for her to sip tea and saying, "The staff of the chamberlain has drawn up a corresponding plan, and when you go out later, Chief of Staff Brooke will hand it over to you." ”

Sila Marne kept a reserved smile and picked up the teacup to taste the tea very attentively, the light aroma of the tea and the hint of sweetness and bitterness in her mouth and slowly flowing into her abdomen, she said: "With the help of Sir Collier, this matter has become much easier. ”

"I didn't expect Sir Cowrell to be admired one day. Pedi laughed, "I've heard countless people complain about him in the last five years, but I didn't expect that the first person to praise him would be you. It can be seen that Pedi is smiling happily this time, after all, Cowlier was the first to follow him, and during his reign in Crewe, he pushed Cowlier to the throne under everyone's pressure, and now that the old fellow's ability is recognized, he is happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Sir Collier is not very fond of it. Erin Fei'er interjected, "But he is indeed a magician with a wealth of knowledge, he was the most dazzling existence among many geniuses when he was in the Mage Tower, his teacher once trained him as a successor, and he originally hoped to become one of the thirteen directors of the Mage Tower. ”

"Huh... Hahahaha!" Pedi burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing, dear?" said Eileen, who looked at her husband strangely as she put down her teacup, "Do you think I was joking?"

"I'm laughing at myself," Pedi managed to stop laughing, "what did Collier do wrong?"

"Didn't he tell you?" Irene Phier shook her head, "I was very young at the time, and I only know that my father was angry at Collier's wrongs, and that the Council was supposed to imprison Cowrell for life, but at the request of Cowlier's mentor, Professor Botleym, the sentence was changed to exile for life. ”

"I met the old guy now, and I didn't feel that he resented the Mage Tower, but he didn't like it, and sometimes he was full of disdain for the Mage Tower, which can be seen... Sir Cowlier didn't feel that what he had done in the Mage's Tower was wrong. Pedi recalls the sarcasm on Cowlil's face when he talks about the Mage's Tower, and he unconsciously smiles the same.

"Each mage will stick to his own direction of study and refute knowledge that is contrary to their own research. Erin Phier nodded understandingly, "Mages can compromise in other aspects, but only their own research will not take a step back, otherwise they will be denying themselves." ”

"I've seen quite a few mages, and they're constantly overthrowing..."

"I'm talking about real mages, mages who don't have an inquisitive spirit, can't be really strong at all... Mages must explore the unknown level of knowledge at all times!" Erin Fei'er interrupted her husband and said very seriously, "Just like the mages cultivated by the Magic Academy in Seka Town, they are not real mages at all, they... It's just a tool man who uses the circle. ”

"You mean to say that there are drawbacks to the magic academy in Sekha Town?" Pedi was concerned about this.

"You don't have to worry too much, because we have two huge laboratories, and aren't you planning to build a mage tower in Suke City?" Erin Fei'er saw her husband's concern, she smiled and said, "With the powerful foundation of the empire, if you really want to develop magical knowledge, you can surpass the knowledge reserve of the mage tower in a hundred years, but first you have to learn the right way." ”

"What's the right way?"

"You've got to pick the right person!"

"You mean Archmage Leah isn't doing a good enough job right now?" Pedi heard his wife's digression.

Erin Phiel shook her head, but then nodded again, "No, she's done a good job, but Mage Leah has a future that simply can't support the Mage Tower in Suke City, you need to recruit more people like Mage Leah, and... Mage Leah is still your court mage and your magic advisor, do you think she still has the energy to manage the mage tower?"

"I don't have anyone in my hands to use. Pedi helplessly spread his hands.

"Have you forgotten that I'm also a magician?" said Erinphier, gesturing to herself, "I can be your magical advisor in this war, and I can also be a court mage. ”

"I remember you didn't like these things before. Pedi looked at his wife in surprise.

"I am the Empress of the Empire, and I should take some responsibility. Erin Phil took a sip of hot tea, "Also, I want to study battlefield magic, and the various magic photos and drawings that Archmage Leah brought back during the war make me feel very incredible and help me a lot in my magic research." ”

"Your Majesty, Empress!" Sira-Marne frowned, "The Imperial Capital is inseparable..."

"In the imperial capital, I will hand it over to my sister Phyllis to supervise, and the Military Aircraft Department will fully assist her. Pedi interrupted Silah Marne, "Also... Do you know where Baron Hanina is now?"

"Baron Hanina?" said Sirah-Marne, "she should now be recuperating in a manor on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital." ”

"Recuperate, what disease?"

"Massive bleeding from internal organs caused by drug abuse, but now I am more than half better, and I heard that a few days ago I was still hunting on horseback in a public hunting ground in the suburbs. Eileen answered her husband's question.

"However, Baron Hannina can no longer use the Holy Power. Silah-Marne added, also a paladin, had some sympathy for Hanina's plight.

"Holy power is not something that can be taken away by a single illness. Pedi whispered, looking up to meet Sira Marne, "Do you think she can continue to serve the Empire?"

"You want to reactivate Baron Hanina?" asked Sira Marne instinctively.

"I just wanted to hire her as my personal advisor and not in an imperial office. Pedi whispered softly, "I need Baron Hanina to lead my chambers, do you think she's the right person?"

"I don't have a good opinion of that. "Sheila Marne chose to stay away.

"You go talk to Baron Hanina. As he spoke, Pedi took the cool teacup in Siala Marne's hand, slowly poured the tea, and then poured another cup of hot tea.

"I try, but... There is a good chance that Baron Hanina will refuse. Silah Marne has no confidence in this, "She is a proud person at heart. ”

"I'll let my sister Phyllis come with you. Pei Di sniffed the aroma in the teacup lightly, and his face was full of intoxication, "After I go back, immediately ask the national laboratory to configure a conduction device for Hanina, and... You'd better get Hannina to the front in three days, it'll be lively soon, and it will be lively for a long time. ”

Silah-Marne was stunned, frowning at the steaming tea in her hand, and did not immediately respond to the emperor's words.

"After drinking this cup of tea, you can go back first. Pedi put down the teacup and patted Siala Marne on the shoulder, "Your sister should still be waiting for you to go back to your estate at this moment, don't let them wait long." ”

All of Sirah-Marne's thoughts paused at this moment, her hands trembled slightly, and she almost spilled the hot tea in the teacup in her hand, she subconsciously wanted to explain something, but when the words came to her mouth, she found that this matter could not be explained.

"Gollum" Sira Marne raised her head and poured hot tea into her stomach, enduring the slight tingling in her mouth, she stood up and bowed and said, "Happy Winter, Your Majesty... Empress... Wishing you all a great evening. She walked to the door without looking back.

"You are so ruthless, you don't know that Sir Marne had you all in her eyes when he first came in, and if I hadn't been here, she might have professed her love to you, and you were at this time—" she shook her head and said no more.

"Shouldn't you be happy if I do that?" said Pedi, looking at his wife.

Eileen Phil was silent about her husband's jokes, and Pedi gave her a strange look at her wife and saw that her silence was not taken to heart.

"Will you do this to me in the future?" asked Erin Phier suddenly.

"Why do you ask that?" said Peddy, with a hint of displeasure on his face when he heard the question.

"You didn't directly answer 'no'. ”

"Don't you think the question you're asking is stupid?"

"Yes, I also think I'm stupid... You have changed, and now you only think about the empire first when you think about everything, and you can give up everything for the sake of the empire. ”

"My dear, I'm the Emperor of the Empire and your husband, and you—" Pedi put down his teacup and looked at his wife, "I don't think anything like that will happen to us." ”

"Your mind is beating so fast that I'm afraid I can't keep up with you. ”

"You don't need to keep up with me, I'll take you with me because you're my wife... I swear, you will always be my wife, always..."
