The next day, the Variel women gathered on the balcony for dinner, and Haotian looked a little sleepy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Eleanor and Catria looked at him quietly, their faces slightly red. Louise sat on the edge of Haotian with a sweet face.

The Duchess was on top, holding a black tea and tasting it.

"Louise, Louise is back, isn't she?" A heavy male voice came.

Haotian looked up and saw that it was a middle-aged man with blonde hair and steady hair, who was the Duke of Wariel.

The Duchess looked over: "Well, I'll be back soon, how is the military meeting?" ”

"Those ministers, hmph, prevaricated back and forth one by one, and there was no substantive decision at all."

"You're the boy." The Duke stared at Haotian, "Do you want to take Louise from me?" ”

"Well, I can't say that, Louise followed me, and I can often visit my parents-in-law. I'll be with her too. "Haotian Dao.

"You guy, I heard you're already the captain of the griffons. Do you know what's been going on lately? The Duke asked.

"It should be about the rebels in Albion, I heard that Crown Prince Willus has not been found yet."

"Now it's called the Republic of Albion, and it has established diplomatic relations with Toristine three days ago, and I don't know where the news came from, I want Her Royal Highness the princess to hand over Crown Prince Willus, otherwise I will send troops to attack Torristin. In the past few days, the ministers have quarreled several times about this matter. You say, is Willus really in Torlistine? Shall we fight? ”

As the Duke spoke, all three Louise held their breath. The war, perhaps because of the decision of the Duke of Warier, will go in a different direction.

Haotian smiled faintly: "If Toristin bows his head to the rebels." The next time they want Princess Ann Lieta to marry, will Torristeen marry or not? If you get married, then the rebels want this country again, do you give it or not? ”

"What do you mean?" The Duke frowned.

"Hit! Use a war to make the rebels and other countries understand that Toristine is not easy to mess with, so that Toristine can gain equal status between countries. Otherwise, other countries will treat Toristine as a weak country and bully them wantonly. "Haotian is loud.

The duke stared at the young man and prospective son-in-law: "You said to fight?" Toristine was a small country with a small army, with a standing army of no more than 15,000. And the Republic of Albion still has more than 30,000 troops after the elimination of the royalists. What confrontation do you fight? ”

"It's not a day or two that the Torristins are weak, but it's still been passed down for six thousand years. It is because Torristeen has the strongest group of magicians in the continent, and there were originally four magicians at the [Quartet level], after the death of Valut, there was also his mother-in-law Garin of Galewind, the dean of the Magic Academy, Osman, and the army marshal Gramon. You must know that Gelfin killed 5,000 rebels by himself, and if three [Quartet-level] magicians cooperate with a large number of troops, the damage caused will not be less than this number. ”

"And Albion's only Gelfinn died in the rebellion, and they should not have a [Quartet] magician at the moment. The number of [Thread Level] and [Triangle Level] is also far less than that of Torlistine, and most of them are mages of the wind system. ”

"Toristine has a magical advantage, enough to suppress the Albion rebels."

"Hmph, that's a light thing to say. Do you want those nobles to fight as soldiers? They are not even willing to contribute money and food, let alone go into battle in person. ”

"Special treatment in special periods, as long as the three mothers-in-law led by the three are willing to contribute, the other magicians have nothing to rely on, and if Her Royal Highness the princess forcibly requisitions, it is not impossible to succeed."

"Do you know how many people you will offend like that? Hundreds of nobles will hate you, and even if you can win the war, you won't want to be better in the future. The Duke's eyes flashed.

The corners of Haotian's mouth were raised: "I don't remember that my status and strength have relied on them." ”

The Duke stared at Haotian for a long time, then slowly softened his face and burst into laughter.

Haotian also laughed slowly.

The three Louise girls looked puzzled.

The Duchess sipped her tea unhurriedly.

"Father, Haotian, who are you?" Louise asked.

"It's nothing, Louise, I'll take this son-in-law." The Duke laughed and patted Haotian on the shoulder.

"Ah, what do you say, Father?" Louise blushed.

"That's great, Louise." Haotian smiled.

Eleanor and Catlea were a little envious when they looked at Louise's sweet and shy appearance.

"Tell the kitchen to cook a hearty meal, I have to rush back to the royal capital tonight."

"Got it, Father." Eleanor replied.

The family of five plus Haotian had a good meal in the evening, and Haotian took the opportunity to propose to return to the royal capital with the duke. The purpose of coming back with Louise has been achieved, and there is no point in staying a few more days.

The Duke nodded, and told the butler to prepare two more horses.

After dinner, the Duke, Haotian, and Louise bid farewell to the other three.

Mounted on their horses, the three of them hurried to the king's capital.

At night, the three of them rushed to the Academy of Magic, leaving Louise at the Academy. The Duke and Haotian hurried to the royal capital.

Along the way, the duke told Haotian a lot, and many of the two had the same ideas, which made the duke very satisfied, and Haotian also had a good impression of his future father-in-law.

Dismounting outside the palace, the Duke said to the guards: "I am Variel, and I have come to a military council. ”

"Ha, yes, Lord Duke, please come in."

Haotian was about to follow up, but was stopped by the guards.

"Captain, we didn't get permission to let you in. Why don't we inform the inside first? ”

"I brought him to sit in on the meeting." The Duke said lightly.

"Yes, understood. Captain, please. "The soldiers get out of the way.

Haotian followed the Duke into the palace.

In the past, I saw An Lieta in the side hall, but this time I followed the duke and Haotian into the main hall.

The candlelight was bright, and some figures in the hall were sparse, and it seemed that they could hear the sound.

"Ah, Haotian." Anrietta standing next to the throne.

"It's Duke Wariel, it's hard work."

In the hall there are the President of the Supreme Court, the Secretary of State, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Marshal of the Army, Gramon, the President of the Academy of Magic, Osman, and many more. They are the ones who decide Torlistine's fate.

"You're, the griffons, and this is not the place for you to come. Get out. The president of the court snapped.

Haotian should not.

"He was brought by me to sit in on the meeting. Do you have an opinion? Well. Duke Variel looked at him coldly.

"It's not in accordance with the rules. The stakes are high in this meeting, and it is important to prevent anyone from listening to and leaking secrets. The Foreign Minister said.

"What you say, Haotian is from my magic academy, and he has always been loyal to Torlistine." Osman spoke.

"I believe in Haotian, just let him stay." Anrietta spoke.

Several ministers exchanged glances, "Okay, you're right behind Duke Wariel, don't talk nonsense." ”

Haotian sneered and stood behind Duke Wariel.

Next to the duke were Marshal Gramon, Ottoman.

On the other side are the President of the Court, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Commerce, and the Secretary of State Cardinal.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, about the declaration of war by the Republic of Albion against Torlistine." Anrietta spoke.

"Wait, Princess, Albion is just asking for the return of Crown Prince Willus. There was no declaration of war, and I, Toristine, should have avoided senseless wars. The Foreign Minister interrupted.

"Princess, it costs money to fight, and the treasury has no money." The Minister of Commerce said lightly.

"You, you." Angeleta trembled with anger.

When Haotian saw it, he was very disgusted with those people.

"Willus is not in Toristine, this is just a pretext for the Albion rebels to go to war." Variel spoke.

The Secretary of State and several people have seen it, how did the Duke of Warriel, who had been watching the play in silence a few days ago, speak?

"In response to Albiang's provocation, Torristeen should have responded resolutely and harshly. If he wants to fight, I will fight. Variel muttered.

"Well said, what's so bad about fighting. Toristin hasn't fought for a long time, and other countries still treat Toristin as a soft persimmon, and anyone dares to come and take two bites. Grammon shouted, "In my opinion, you must be beaten hard." Beat Albiang to the pain, and also show Galmania, Romania, and Gallia that Toristine is not easy to mess with. ”

"You are a feudal lord, a soldier, and you know what politics. As long as Willus is sent, the Republic of Albion will establish good relations with Toristine, and maybe an alliance, so that there is no need to worry about the threat of other countries. The Secretary of State spoke, "Shouldn't Torlistine's peace be your pursuit, Princess?" ”

"I, not like that." Angeletta shook her head.

"Oh, Secretary of State, have you ever seen a wolf and a rabbit coexist peacefully? The Republic of Albion is a wolf, and he treats Toristine like a rabbit and wants to bite it hard. Osman squinted and smiled.

"Princess, you have to think about it, if you decide to go to war, the dead soldiers are my people of Torristin." The Secretary of State's eyes were staring at Anrietta, very oppressive.

"Me, me?" Anrietta was at a loss.

"There's no need to hesitate, fight when it's time to fight. Make a decision, Princess Ann Rietta. Variel said.

"Princess, I, Gramont, am willing to lead the troops out of the station, you can give the order."

"Your Royal Highness, as long as you trust your feelings and make a decision." Ottoman.

"No, you can't go to war, princess." "Just hand over that Virus, we don't need war." "Think again, princess." Foreign Minister, etc.

Ann Rietta didn't know what to do in the two factions.

Haotian, Haotian, she looked at Haotian behind Wariel as if she was helping.

Haotian gave her a gentle smile, his lips opening and closing.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Angela felt a little relieved, at least someone to lean on.

"I, I'm ・・・・・・" Angeletta straightened up and was about to announce her decision.

"Newspaper!! Report!! ”

A soldier covered in blood barged in, "Albion, Albion, called." ”

He clutched a parchment roll tightly, and when he had finished shouting in the palace, he stiffened and fell to the side.

The ministers were noisy and talking.

"What!" Grammon leaped to his feet and took the parchment and handed it to the princess.

Angeletta unfolded the parchment scroll and, after a hurried glance, fell silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Albion has conquered the village of Tarub yesterday without declaring war. In this situation, do you dare to say that Albion does not want to go to war?!! Angelita angrily addressed the foreign minister.

Several ministers lowered their eyes. "Albion's undeclared war is a villain's act. Please give the princess the order to attack. ”

"Okay, I order in my capacity as the future queen and princess Ann Rietta, Gramon brings your army, as well as my three magic knights, to annihilate the enemy."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess." Grammon looked overjoyed and knelt down on one knee to accept the order.

Grammon turned to leave the main hall, and Haotian left with him, leading the griffons into the battle.

Please, Haotian. An Lieta looked at Haotian's back and thought.
