Chapter 243: The Enemy of the Enemy
The next time I saw Claudia, it was already at a private dinner at Mayor Hoffa's house.
Claudia, who appeared in the banquet hall like a moon in the stars, soon spotted Jacques and the others, and walked quickly towards them with a large string of "tails".
"Jacques Reno, Alyssia, Mentor Lily, why are you here, oh, and you......"
"Fabian, Fabian Bernande, Miss Claudia, it's a pleasure to see you again. β
Someone behind Claudia said, "Please call the envoy......"
"It's okay, they're my friends. Claudia said to the man behind her.
Jacques noticed that the clerk, who was standing quietly behind Claudia, had been looking at him.
Lily walked up and said, "We must be traveling to the New World, but I really didn't expect you to be an Imperial envoy. β
At this time, Mayor Hoffa also came over, bowed to Claudia, and said, "I didn't expect the envoy to know them, this Mr. Jacques is the warrior who rescued my sister from the rebels. β
Jacques hurriedly said, "It was Miss Vanessa who saved my life first, and it was my duty to take her with me when I escaped." β
Hoffa added: "They escaped from the rebels' lair, in the mountains of Delanor, and were chased by the rebels' elite all the way, and there was a lot of danger. Unfortunately, many young people are still being held in the hands of the rebels......"
"I'm sorry, Mayor Hoffa, I'm afraid I can't accept the matter of negotiating with the rebels. You know my identity, strictly speaking, I am not a member of the royal family yet, and the authority that His Majesty has given me is only communication with the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom. I don't have the authority to negotiate with the so-called rebels. Claudia said she couldn't do anything about it, and she couldn't say it in a place like the council chamber.
"But as you can see, the whole of York City is in a state of excitement right now, whether it's a fight or a talk, and we have to make a decision, and the more it drags on, the more pressure it will be, and the more impact it will have when it erupts. Hoffa said.
Claudia's face turned gloomy, and she said: "Mayor Hoffa, I have told you many times about this matter today, you decide how to deal with the troubles caused by those rebels according to the authority given to you by the Empire, and I will never interfere with your decision, which is also outside the scope of my authority."
I'm here to only deal with negotiations with the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom. That's all for business, and if you don't mind, I'd like to catch up with my friends. β
Claudia chases Mayor Hoffa and pulls Lily and Alyssa off their "tails" and walks to the terrace to chat.
The girls were gossiping, and Jacques and Fabian couldn't get along, but Marianne got mixed in, and after a while she was talking and laughing with Claudia.
......
The blue steam car was driving on the way back to Beicheng, and although everyone was tired, they were very interested, and the topic was naturally the envoy.
"You don't know how much I envy you, the future queen, you're your friend!" Marianne was still excited.
Jacques wondered, "Which prince is Claudia going to marry?"
Fabian, who was also confused, also asked: "Have you already determined who the crown prince is? Aren't the eldest prince and the second prince still fighting?"
Lily had no choice but to tell them what had happened: "The crown prince has not yet been determined, but what can be determined is that whoever marries Claudia is the crown prince." β
"How still!" Fabian wondered.
"That's it," Marianne said, "it's an open secret, and anyone with a little bit of political sense can see it." The emperor appointed Claudia as an envoy, and envoys had traditionally only been held by members of the royal family, and of course the emperor's excuse was that Claudia was the empress's niece.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that he chose the crown princess for the future prince. You know, queens are generally from the Duchy of Saxony, and the current queen is needless to say, the sister of the Duke of Saxony!
If another Saxon noble woman enters the royal family, it is obvious that she will be the wife of the eldest prince or the second prince, so that the crown prince, the future new emperor, can still get the support of the Duke of Saxony.
If the Emperor can't get the support of the Duchy of Saxony and keep Castile neutral, hehe, Duke Stuart doesn't mind moving his title up. β
"The eldest sister has become a great man!" Fabian sighed.
"Why Claudia, the daughter of the Duke of Saxony?" asked Jacques.
Marianne explained: "Of course not, the daughter of the Duke of Saxony cannot marry the Grand Prince, they are still close relatives, and the royal family will not make such a mistake." The Schweigers were also among the nobles of Saxony and held the Eighth and Ninth Legions.
By the way, I forgot to ask you, you said in the afternoon that your parents were Claudia's uncle?"
Jacques had no choice but to say, "Yes, my father's brother, but please help keep it a secret, they are living in seclusion. β
Lily suddenly understood, "Ah! is Mr. Twenty-Three?"
"Yes. β
"They have a baby!" Lily saw Elsa and Twenty-Three's daughter Maribel in Ryo, and poked out the secret.
"Oh my God! I know a big secret!" Marianne was excited!
......
The Envoy's lodgings.
In one room, Claudia's clerk was playing with a dagger, constantly pulling it out of its delicate scabbard and inserting it back in.
The other stood at the door of the room and said respectfully, "Sir, my subordinates have arranged the boat and can leave at any time." β
The clerk said, "Yes, the thing is also in my hands, and it is indeed fine." But I want to play for two more days, and today I met an interesting person and wanted to get in touch with him again. β
The room fell silent.
"You're really not interesting, if it were Odoka, he would definitely ask me who this interesting person is. The clerk said.
"Sir, if you want to say something about your subordinates, just listen, if you don't say it, your subordinates will naturally not ask. β
"But my father often complimented you on your calmness. β
"It is an honor for the subordinates to be recognized by the old gentleman. ...... Well, I'm guessing you're talking about a young man named Jacques. But as far as I know, he and Miss Claudia are just ordinary friends. β
"Haha, you're thinking so much. I wanted to see who could kidnap Robert Baptiste's fiancΓ©e. β
"You want to take him under your command?"
"The enemy of the enemy, maybe be a friend. I just think it's funny, how did you say he got Hofa's sister out?"
"My subordinates don't know, we still don't know too little about the Chaos Source Energy Technique. β
"I'm looking forward to it more and more......"
