Chapter Ninety-Six: Human Affection
Perhaps because he rarely got along with his peers in his childhood, Kaguya liked to be alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She has already reached the age when she should get married, and she has no feelings for the opposite sex. She often analyzes the character of boys from a rational point of view, but she never has the desire to get close to someone.
Kaguya knows that Hart is a good man. But there are too many women around him, and she doesn't want to marry a man with a group of wives and concubines. In order to avoid Hart, when she chose a place to work, she deliberately chose a place far away from the city of Byrons.
Kaguya's full name is Kaguya. After moving to live in the city of Byrons, she went to study in a new shrine like other girls from the Wayan family. Although the girls of the Wayan family are all Taeyong, it is easy to be selected into the apprenticeship camp of the new shrine. The apprenticeship camp of the new-style shrine is not closed like the old-style shrine, and the apprentice shrine maidens can receive other aspects of education, and Kaguya was admitted to the Kingdom Academy because of her excellent grades.
She received an education in the faith of Ira's shrine maiden and an intellectual education from the Kingdom Academy. Because there are so many things to learn, Kaguya graduated later than the other students, and the official inauguration of the shrine maiden was later than the other trainee shrine maidens.
On November 18, 157 New Calendar, Kaguya said goodbye to his mother and left the city of Byron with fifteen newly inaugurated shrine maidens to go to the new shrine and evangelistic center of Rimi Castle. Until the end of the counterinsurgency war, the city was controlled by the rebels, and the city was so chaotic and corrupt that the local people secretly called it a "thief city".
After the end of the counterinsurgency war, the Byrons family was able to take control of the city. In order to suppress the underworld forces and the remnants of the rebellious party in the city, Limi City has been in a state of "military control" until June 20, 157 of the new calendar. The city defense troops transferred from various places are stationed here in turn to cooperate with the newly established security system to fight criminals by violent means. It was not until most of the underworld forces and the remnants of the rebel party were eliminated that the state of military control ended.
After the end of the military state, the city of Rimi has been completely renewed. New shrines, theological research societies, and civic associations established branches in the city, and began to spread theological ideas throughout the city and change the old ideas of the citizens. After months of hard work, the citizens have embraced the new ideas and their lifestyles have changed.
There is no shortage of witches in the kingdom of Byron today, but considering that Rimi City has become a frontline city, Maier thinks it is necessary to station a certain number of shrine maidens here, especially the witches who can use their abilities to heal their injuries. Therefore, from mid-October, the new shrine has been sending shrine maidens from all over the world to Satomi Castle one after another.
Kaguya and her companions are all shrine maidens, and Kaguya is the oldest, has the strongest ability level, and has the strongest leadership, so before leaving, everyone elected her as the temporary captain. On the way to Rimi City, I wish the shrine maidens to talk about marriage. Of the sixteen newly inaugurated shrine maidens, three are married, nine are engaged, and three are in love, with the exception of Kaguya, who is celibate.
The married shrine maidens were not very happy with this assignment because their husbands were all residents of the city of Byrons and their homes were in the city of Byrons. The distance between the city and the city of Byron is very troublesome. The betrothed witches are more worried about marriage, and the kingdom's recent large-scale military expansion and frequent personnel transfers have caused gossip in the country that it is likely to be a war again. When a war is fought, people die, and several of them are betrothed to military men, and they are worried about the safety of their fiancés.
When everyone talked about these things, Kaguya just listened silently. I don't know why, she had a bad premonition, as if something big was about to come to her door.
Could it be that we are going to war with the Kingdom of Elt?
Kaguya thought it was unlikely. The military alliance treaty between the Kingdom of Byron and the Kingdom of Elt has not yet expired, and it is impossible for the Byrons family to take the initiative to break the contract. The recent friction between the Kingdom of Byron and the Kingdom of Elt is only the refusal to marry, if the Kingdom of Elt tears up the military alliance treaty because of this matter and declares war on the Kingdom of Byrons, then the Alt royal family is too narrow-minded.
At the same time that Kaguya had an ominous premonition, Hart was kneeling in front of his mother in the garden on the roof of the side hall, holding his mother's hand with both hands, and pleading with a bitter face, "Mother, please." Father listens to you the most, as long as you plead with him, he will definitely agree! ”
"Nope."
With a smile on his face, his brows furrowed, he looked at Hart with some anger.
"You haven't even been to the barracks, and you suddenly said that you want to lead troops, do you think it's easy to lead soldiers?"
"Hey, what Sister Shirley can do, why can't I do it......"
"What did you say?"
Smile frowned, and Hart immediately shrunk his shoulders and coaxed.
"That and that...... Belch...... I mean, it's up to people...... Oh! That's right! Didn't the father build a new brigade-level unit? I have heard that there is a serious shortage of brigade officers in the kingdom, and as the eldest son of my father, I should share his worries! ”
"Don't fool me with the excuses you came up with on the fly." Xiaoxiao shook off Hart's hand with proper force, "Looks like I've really spoiled you." Do you think I don't know? You're just running for that Kaguya. You're going to marry Deella Rela next year, how can you find another woman at this time? ”
"Mom, it's because I'm going to marry Deella and them next year, so I'm going to hurry up and get Kaguya back." Hart smiled flatteringly, "Didn't you say Kaguya is good?" ”
"I said Kaguya was good, but she-"
Xiaoxiao stopped in time and didn't say what was in her heart.
She is one of the insiders of Kaguya's background. Although she was not prejudiced against this child, the ethics of the Ira people still made her a little repulsive to Kaguya. Smile has always been against Hart marrying his sister. But in the face of the pressure of reality, she could only choose to remain silent again.
"Anyway, let's put this matter back on the back burner. Even if it's for the sake of Deira and Raella, you can't go to Rimi City. ”
"So, then I'll be able to go after I get married?"
"You can't go after you get married, at least not until you have children." smiled and said seriously, "Hart, you are all going to be a husband, you have to act steadily, and you have to consider the consequences, you know?" ”
After the princes and princesses got engaged one after another, Yun Xin, who didn't support this matter, set a rule for them, that is, they must not have sex together before marriage, and those who violate the rules will be kicked out of the house. Maier takes the lead in supporting his mother's decision, posing that he will callously kick anyone out of the house if they break the rules.
Because of this, it is impossible for Hart's fiancées to conceive before marriage. Even if Hart's fiancées became pregnant immediately after marriage, he would have to wait until next year to go to Rimi City.
Kaguya wasn't much interested in him in the first place, but now she went to Rimi City, far away from the city of Byrons, and had the opportunity to meet more men, maybe one day she would be abducted by other men. As soon as he thought of this, Hart panicked, and he couldn't wait to fly to Rimi City now and snatch Kaguya back.
Originally, Hart wanted to go to the city as a civilian official, but there were no vacancies for the officials in the city, and Maier did not agree to the matter. At that time, a document from the Ministry of Defense arrived, and Hart copied the contents of the document from Meier's mouth.
In order to prepare for a surprise attack by the Kingdom of Elt, the Kingdom of Byron decided to transfer five regular regiments from the regular army to form a temporary brigade and transfer to the city of Rimi. They were accompanied by 5,000 sappers, who were tasked with digging a tunnel in the Rimi Mountains by means of demolition and excavation, so as to facilitate the transportation of supplies after the Byronic army invaded the territory of the Elt Kingdom.
The officers of the combat units were sufficient, but there was a serious shortage of officers in the engineering units. Hart saw this opportunity and wanted to go to Rimi City with the army. Hart only knew military strategy roughly, and he had never even been to the barracks, so how dare Meier let him lead the troops? Even if you bring sappers who don't have to go into battle, you have to be professionally trained officers.
Besides, the sappers went with an important mission, they were going to dig tunnels in the Rimi Mountains. They have to use dangerous explosives in their missions, and with the current level of technology in the new world, it is very dangerous to open tunnels that can easily collapse. If Hart, a layman, was to be in command, an accident was likely to occur.
While Hart pleaded with a smile, Maier called a cabinet meeting. He emphasised the dangers of tunneling and wanted to reduce the risks as much as possible. This cabinet meeting also came, and he said that if Meier wanted to minimize the danger of digging a tunnel, he had a solution, but the success rate was uncertain.
Wei continued to say that the premise of this plan was that the Elt Kingdom had made up its mind to break with the Byronic Kingdom, and at the same time, it did not want to expose its own intentions and wanted to attack the Byronic Kingdom by surprise. In this case, the Kingdom of Byron can put on a very trusting attitude towards the Kingdom of Elt and invite the Kingdom of Elt to open a trade tunnel in the Limi Mountains.
In order to facilitate the transportation of materials in wartime, the Elt Kingdom must be willing to help, and when the time comes, the Kingdom of Byron will be able to dig tunnels without sending a single soldier or spending a penny. However, considering that the strategic deployment of the Elt Kingdom is unknown now, and it is not necessary to backstab the Byron Kingdom, the success rate of the plan is uncertain.
This plan was very much in line with Maier's wishes, but given the uncertainty of the success rate, he had to choose to do both. At the same time as sending envoys to negotiate with the Kingdom of Elt, he sent sappers and excavation equipment to the city of Rimi.
On the evening of November 28, 157 New Calendar, Chaoyang Pavilion of the Bluestone Palace, Shirley's room.
"Sister Shirley, you just promise me~~~~"
Shirley can't remember how many times Hart has begged herself. Because Shirley only has time at night, he comes at night every time, and the eyes of Deella and Raella have changed when they look at her.
Ten days ago, the list of brigade-level officers of the temporary brigade stationed in Rimicheng was confirmed. Shirley had also submitted an application to Mel before, so this time she would go to Rimi City with the army as the "Captain of the Royal Special Forces".
The so-called "royal special forces" refer to the troops composed of the royal family's private soldiers. Today, Shirley's Guards are a squadron of men armed with new rifles, light armor, and melee daggers, and are part of the ultra-modern forces of the Kingdom of Byrons, just like Mel's King's Guard.
Mair sent Shirley and her guards to Rimi City, mainly to reassure the usurpers of the Elt Kingdom. When the usurper forces of the Elt Kingdom saw Shirley and her personal guards, they decided that the Byron Kingdom had a large number of new rifles in stock, and they did not want to be an enemy of the Byron Kingdom, so they were determined to usurp power.
As for the movement of troops, the Kingdom of Elt will not be suspicious. Even if the relationship between the two countries is good, if a neighboring country is engaged in a project on the border, it must send someone to watch it, so that no one will take the opportunity to illegally cross the border or smuggle contraband. The Kingdom of Elt and the Kingdom of Byron were originally "surface brothers", and if the Kingdom of Byron did not guard against the Kingdom of Ayrt, the Kingdom of Ayrt would be suspicious.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, the army has the rules of the army, and I, as the military commander, can't take the lead in breaking the rules. Also, if I take you away secretly, those young people don't dare to think anything, but what about Deella and Raella? They can't eat me alive? ”
"Ah...... But Sister Shirley, only you can help me now......" Hart looked at Shirley pitifully, "Sister Shirley...... You're going to help me......"
"Nope."
In order to be ruthless, Shirley avoided the gaze.
"You just stay in the Bluestone Palace honestly."
"Sister Shirley......"
Hart saw that Shirley still didn't agree, so he could only use the last hole card.
"Sister Shirley, as long as you are willing to help me this time, I owe you a favor. No matter what happens in the future, as long as I can help, I will never refuse! I can swear to God! ”
Hearing this, Shirley's eyes lit up.
