Crewe City, the top of the tallest tower attic in Caval Fort.

As long as Pedi was in the castle, he would arrive every morning after the knight's training and look out at the mountains in the distance.

It's summer, nearly four months after Pedi's father submitted his resignation.

It had been four months of peace, and the war in the Karen Territory had suddenly run out of content, and the war between the Dwarves and the Grand Duke of Trofil was likely to end with a single agreement.

The civil war between the orcs continues, but it is all skirmishes.

During the four months between Twak and Andy Barrett and Nishizawa Dewin, there was a major showdown, but it did not change the standoff between the two sides.

Duke Eric organized two major attacks on the Grand Canyon of Manwis during this time, both of which were aborted due to the lack of logistics in the Empire.

Elok led the battlefield, the place where the largest number of troops were gathered on the Ayland continent, but it was the quietest in these four months.

...

Pedy was holding a letter in his hand at the moment, a letter written to him by Penny.

In addition to pouring out her troubles, Penny also told Pedi about the conflict between her father and the current prime minister, Woz Pedro.

This time, Penny is actually on the side of Woz Pedro, and she asks Peddy to write a letter to his father to return to Crewe!

Penny's attitude moved Pedy, and he could see in the letter that his queen sister was resentful of her father.

He knew better that Penny was trying to tell her father what she wanted to say through herself.

Pedi was well aware of Penny's intelligence, she should know very well what it would mean for the empire for the father and daughter to be on opposite sides, and she knew better why and why her father stayed in the imperial capital.

But she still wants her father to leave the imperial capital!

"Honey, what are you thinking?" said Erinphier, quietly walking over to Pedi.

Pedi handed the letter to Erin Phil without speaking.

Erin Feier took the letter suspiciously, she glanced at the beginning of the letter and raised her eyebrows, "This is your sister's personal letter to you, is that okay?" The lady's education since childhood made her subconsciously resist looking through other people's private letters.

"I let you see it, and you're my love. "Pedi and Erin Field's relationship has heated up rapidly over the past four months. Of course, this does not leave the deliberate operation of the two.

"Oh, okay. A sly flash flashed in Erinfield's eyes, and her gaze began to look down unconsciously. After a while, she whispered, "It seems that your sister loves you very much, and she tells you everything—" she said to herself, "Oh, poor Miss Penny, she looks very bad." ”

The content of the letter was not much, and Erin Phier read it quickly, and after she read it, she looked at Pedi solemnly and asked, "Will you become like Emperor Sinda in the future?"

Pedi was stunned, "Is this your focus?"

"Are you avoiding my question?" Elinfield furrowed.

"No one can predict what will happen later. Pedi shrugged, "Before, Sinda gave me the impression of being a little conceited, but she was a prince full of ideals and honor, maybe the Golden Throne changed him, or maybe he was the person he was. ”

"I hate people like that!" said Eileen Phil softly, "My father loved me and my mother very much a long time ago, and he spent most of his time with us every day except for necessary experiments, and it was my happiest time, but... That all changed since he was elected as a member of the Mage Tower, and he no longer came home on time and no longer cared about us!"

Pei Di looked at his fiancée's aggrieved appearance, and gently hugged her waist and said: "Every father will care about his children, and your father will be no exception, he is only temporarily stumped by the affairs of the Mage Tower, I believe that when your father is busy with the affairs at hand, he will definitely come to see you." ”

"You speak in the tone of an old man. Erin Phier didn't buy it, she pushed Pedi away, "You should be on my side and condemn my father together, instead of pretending to be a good person to comfort me!"

Peidi was stunned, not knowing how to interface.

"Haha," Erin Phier laughed, her eyes narrowing as she leaned against Pedi, "you're the cutest you look like right now, that's the real you." She whispered, "I hate to look at that ruler who gives orders from above!"

Pedi sighed to himself and didn't answer his fiancée's words.

Erin Phier didn't speak again, and both of them watched in silence as the morning glow slowly covered the city.

The expression on the girl's face was happy at this time.

She doesn't know when she has gradually adapted to life here, and she has also adapted to the fiancé around her, and she is not sure if this is love.

But what she knows for sure is that she loves the feeling she feels like now!

That's enough.

Every morning, Eileen Filler fantasized in her mind that there was some kind of magic that would keep the good times forever, but reality didn't allow her to have such fantasies.

After a long time, Erin Feier looked at the slowly rising sun in the sky and whispered, "Mother wrote to me a few days ago that the Mage Tower is preparing to form its own independent fleet!"

"Independent fleet?" Pedi was stunned, "a fleet under the direct leadership of the Council?" Mage TowerDue to its unique political environment, the army is composed of mercenary and volunteer armies, and the same is true for the fleet.

"Yes!" Erin Fielder's arms tightened suddenly.

"The construction of a fleet cannot be completed in a single sentence, the training of officers and the construction of warships take time. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't understand that, and I'm not going to ask. Erin Phil knew exactly what Pedi was going to say, but he politely refused before he could say it.

Pedi frowned when she felt Erin Phil's resistance, but didn't ask again.

Erin Fil immediately changed the subject: "Will you write to Duke Nick?"

"What do you think I should do?"

"I don't know. ”

"I don't know. Pedi let go of Erin Phier and took two steps forward, leaning against the cold walls of the tower and said, "What I do know is that Father will definitely not come back. ”

"I can imagine the chaos in the imperial capital right now. As the princess of the Mage Tower, Erin Phier knew very well the cruelty of the high-level struggle, she sighed and tightened her clothes and said, "How good it would be if there was no war!"

"Sooner or later, this war will break out, and the hatred between the orcs and us..."

"Hate?" Erin Phil struck Pedy, "As far as I know, the orcs and empires that now occupy the Clann realm get along very well, and they even attend events together and run a certain shop together. She also stepped forward and looked down at the knights training below, "The war with the orcs is not terrible, it is terrible to have a human heart. ”

"If we had come together at the beginning of the war, even if the orcs had been able to capture the fortress of Anku, they would have tried to defeat in the Klan Territory. "The empire was defeated at its own hands, and the emperor and the nobles put an end to their glorious reign with their own hands." ”

"You're right. Pedi shrugged noncommittally.

But you don't think so. ”

"No, I just don't want to deny myself. Pedi and his fiancée looked at each other, "You say the real reason for the Empire's defeat, but no one will admit it." ”

"That's because you haven't fulfilled your desires. ”

"Honey, shall we change the subject?" Pedi looked at the already scorching sun in the sky.

"Baron Danmen and Sir Glick are waiting for you in the castle hall. Erin Phier also looked at the scorching sun in the sky, "They seem to have an urgent matter, you should probably talk to them first." ”

...

The parlor of Fort Caval was converted into Pedy's office, which the nobles of Crewe City called 'Baron Pedy's Inner Hall'.

After quelling the Bell-Cayde rebellion, Pedi canceled his meetings with the nobles, leaving it all over to the bureaucracy of the police station and the castle. The police station became the biggest winner in the urban riots a few months ago, and the aristocracy is getting used to handling disputes through the police station.

The aristocrats called the police station and the bureaucracy of Kavalburg 'Baron Pedy's outer hall', and secretly called it 'Baron Pedy's lackeys'!

When Pedy entered the parlor, the heat of Baron Danmen and Sir Glick's cup of coffee had disappeared, and it was clear that they had been waiting for a long time.

"What's the matter?" asked Pedi directly, sitting in his office chair.

"It's about Fort Herien..."

"Viscount Bane-Lockton..."

The two spoke almost at the same time, and the chaotic voice made Pei Di frown, and when the two glared at each other angrily, Pei Di pointed at Baron Danmen and said, "You speak first!"

Baron Danmen smiled smugly at Sir Glick and said, "Viscount Bane Lockton is secretly in contact with Duke Andy Barrett of Twak Territory, and my intelligence indicates that the two of them are engaged in a huge arms deal. ”

Pedi was not surprised, let alone angry, but smiled... He smiled very sincerely, and at the same time said: "Viscount Bane has a lot of business eyes, he cut off our trade routes, but he started a trade with them himself. ”

"That's where Bane Lockton is smart, and the profits he makes over the course of a few months can arm two legions in an instant. Baron Danmen followed, "We have found a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance in the northwest area of Fort Helion. ”

"It seems that Viscount Bane is addicted to business. Pei Di commented lightly, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

Baron Danmen looked at Pedi's appearance and secretly beat the drum in his heart, not knowing how to report next, just as he hesitated, Sir Grek next to him saw that Baron Danmen did not speak, so he rushed to speak: "My lord, Fort Herien has recently gathered two legions in the middle of the Harrence Heights under the pretext of suppressing bandits, and Sir Cyra has sent news that the Guards Legion has clashed with them no less than ten times. ”

"Oh?" Pedi didn't get angry, but instead showed a little joy, "When did it happen?"

"Three days ago!"

"Is the message exact?"

"Exactly!" both replied at the same time.
