For a moment, Terrence looked at her with wide eyes as if he didn't recognize the queen in front of him, and then asked vigilantly, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I know what the ships of the Flame Nation have encountered at sea—" Vanessa shook her hair, pushing away the heat that had swirled between the curls, "I heard your conversation. "Words*love*first*hair[Sister's Favorite Romance Novel Network/d/a/s/h/u/b/a/oc] Your impolite Earl Sphonk has gotten into trouble that he shouldn't have caused."

"It was a mistake to appoint him commander-in-chief of the fleet." Terrence can't deny it. "I'm thinking about withdrawing them."

"Don't!" Vanessa reached out and grabbed Terrence, "Since you want to fight, fight until they admit defeat!" ”

"But you didn't agree with me sending troops in the first place."

"That's before the hands are done." Vanessa explained, "Now that things can be resolved peacefully have been complicated, then we have to fight until we win. ”

Terrence looked at his wife in admiration, "I'd like to hear your opinion." ”

"I'm sure you already have the answer in your heart," Vanessa smiled slightly, "The cats and fish just now must be a reflection of your wishes." ”

"My queen is really observant." Terrence smiled as well, "My thoughts can't escape your eyes for a moment. Terrence suddenly changed his words, "Before, I treated you like this, didn't you think about walking away, or planning to kill me while I was asleep?" ”

"Why should I run away?" Vanessa's face changed slightly, but then she regained her composure, "I've been running away for the first half of my life, and now I'm tired and don't want to run anymore." The Burning Flame Country is my home, and I have the backing of the Summer Country, if you can cooperate with me, it would be great if you could join forces; If you continue to abuse me, I don't rule out the possibility of murdering you, but I don't think it's necessary - I can defeat you on the battlefield, and I believe I can defeat you in my bed. ”

"Should I take your words as a challenge or **?" Terrence hugged Vanessa tightly.

The queen smiled seductively at him, "Forget it." ”

************************************************************************************

Terrence was never a dreamer. Even if you send troops to Winterfell, you will do what you say. This attack on the city-state of ale was no exception. What surprised Vanessa even more was that he actually designated himself to supervise the country after he left and handle all the government affairs.

It seems that he is beginning to accept and trust himself. Vanessa couldn't help but squint as she watched the king's flag and men in the distance. No, he won't just hand over the country to me so lightly, he must have set up an ambush for me somewhere, using the unknown table xiàn as a trigger point, and killing me with one blow!

Who could it be? Vanessa's skeptical gaze swept to Terrence's Imperial Council. Sir Thomas, loyal to the Empire? Greedy Franklin? Or is it the newly promoted captain of the guard of Yu Lian, who is good friends with him?

Vanessa shook her head, throwing the thoughts out of her mind. If I always look at things with such doubts and fears, I will never be a good ruler.

Vanessa ignored anything else and focused only on restoring people's livelihoods. If the sword and the bread could only be chosen, I believe that all the subjects of the empire would choose the latter, because the sword would not fill their stomachs, and the bread would sustain their most basic needs for life. She drove all the king's mistresses out of the city and sold their luxury goods to the rich merchants, and all the money was used to repair the slums, a move that was unanimously supported by everyone, except for one object, that is, Lord York from the northern town, and his daughter was none other than Lexie, who had insulted Vanessa in the main hall? York.

"This has caused panic in the palace, and we shouldn't go on!" The Duke of York had the same plump figure as his daughter, and his voice was not lacking in tactfulness, but the slender and high-pitched tone that emanated from such a large belly could not help but make people wonder if his supposed loud abdominal resonance had been squeezed into the current male duck voice by a huge appetite.

"Expelling them, that's what the king means." Maester Gabriel pondered his words, it was clear that he was on the queen's side, but Vanessa always felt that his words were more informative, more sinister.

"Is it the king's meaning, or is it the woman's meaning?" York's cacophony was like a knife cutting through a stone, and he stood up and pointed to Vanessa's face, "She's in power, can't you see it?" This woman from the country in the middle of summer wants to control the lifeblood of our Burning Flame Country step by step, are you all blind? ”

Vanessa sat on the throne and looked at the thunderous Duke with interest, thinking about how to fight back. The more excited the opponent is, the more obvious the flaws will be. Vanessa felt that it was easiest to work at ease.

The Duke of Fire Dragon Village was still chattering and cursing, but Vanessa had already begun to look for answers on the faces of the courtiers of the Imperial Council. This is a great opportunity to tell from their expressions which enemies are watching from afar, and which are potential allies to fight for.

“…… Did she seduce our king and eat you too? Why don't you rise up against this enchantress? The Duke of York was foaming at the mouth, not taking Vanessa in the slightest.

"Well, Lord Duke, please let me interject." Maester Gabriel bowed forward and lowered his gaze cautiously, "I think your personal vendetta against the queen seems to have affected your judgment of state affairs at this moment. This kind of thing is often happening in all dynasties and generations, not to mention that King Terrence also gave a similar order before leaving. If you disagree on the matter, we can put it on record and wait for the king's triumphant return; But if you are upset that the queen has distributed the wealth of the palace people to the poor, I don't think the Imperial Council can support your words. Because your own daughter, Lady Lexie, had a similar dispute with the King, and now that your actions are suspicious of revenge against the Queen, it is not appropriate for you to participate in the discussion of this matter. ”

Everyone nodded yes, so the Duke of York became even more angry, and his originally snow-white face turned crimson, "You, you are all bewitched by this witch!" You-"

"Bachelor." Vanessa looked at him to stop him from continuing to argue with York. He's erecting barriers between me and York, Vanessa thought. Every word of Master Gabriel is contrary to the road of peace, if he tears his face with the Fire Dragon Village, what he will lose will be the important port and river lifeline north of the Burning Flame Country, and the greater threat behind York comes from the heavy oil spring under the Fire Dragon Village!
