The city of Birti did not have the splendid palace of the imperial capital of Sisa, and the earthquake had just been exceeded, how difficult it would be to hold a grand ball!

It doesn't matter if the venue is shabby, as long as the dance is gorgeous, it doesn't matter if the momentum is not huge, as long as there is enough weight for the protagonist. With the help of her maid Catherine, she single-handedly handled almost all matters in front of and behind the scenes. Her father was also keen to hold such balls during his lifetime, so he left behind many commendable fantastical and even strange masks.

The key to the success or failure of the masquerade is, of course, this little prop. It can imitate all kinds of animals, it can imitate all kinds of human expressions, it can dress up as a polymorphic prophet, it can change races in an instant, it can be noble or evil, it can hide the ugly, and it can make thoughts fly above the hustle and bustle. Although people unconsciously put on an invisible mask in their lives, this fake shell at the ball is obviously more relaxed and pleasant.

General Iros's side had no interest in this matter at all, and when they discussed it in public or in private, they all agreed on the same tone, that is, two words: "Nonsense!"

Albert, for his part, did not explicitly express his opposition, but he and Taron were equally incomprehensible to the countess's fanfare and somewhat inopportune actions. Although the general Raeder took the initiative to sue for peace, it did not let his guard down. In particular, Tarun told his younger brother Henry Crawford, who was in charge of guarding the city gates, to carefully guard and observe movements in the direction of Mandunkou, and to report any emergencies immediately.

The vast majority of the people in the city of Birti still look for Claudia, they are a group of people who like to join in the fun, and there is such a grand dance to spice up their lives, isn't that unwanted? Although some of them have lost their relatives and homes in the previous earthquake, these hardships have not defeated them, life is still going on, and they still have a natural optimism.

The countess spared no expense to hire all kinds of skilled craftsmen in the city to build an open-air stage, which was originally planned to take about three days, but due to the fiery energy of those guys, it only took a day and a half.

General Raeder didn't know for what reason, and he didn't rush to urge Xiao Ah to give a tangible answer. He also seemed happy to be part of the ball and see how everyone behaved under the mask.

As the saying goes, there is no single line of happiness and misfortune, but this situation seems to overturn this theory. For both General Iros and Albert received a letter from Emperor Deliot at the same time, in which he said in a helpless tone: "Empress Isabella has been on her journey for a long time, and it is estimated that she will come to the city of Birti in the next two days. Please be sure to be vigilant and secure. The rest is up to her!"

Del Tliot's usual handwriting, though a little sloppy, is strong and powerful, but the letter only reflects a confused and disorderly mood.

Both General Iros and Albert found it a little strange that they had come together to discuss this tricky matter. The other party is the queen of the Tamborance Empire, where is there a place for her in this little city of Birti? There is nothing worthy of her, and there is no convenient person who can relieve her boredom from time to time.

Discussion and discussion were discussed, and only the countess who seemed a little frivolous was left. This was good news for Claudia, because she was already worried about the problem of more men and fewer women, and the arrival of the queen was just the right solution to her urgent needs. Isabella will certainly be accompanied by many female officers, so that the ball scene can be even grander.

Blessings and misfortunes are only in one thought, and the key lies in the difference in people's positions.

It turned out that since the old Duke Borot was killed by the sewer mob in the city of Sisa, Queen Isabella has fallen into a deep spiritual crisis. She felt an unprecedented sense of strangeness and distance from her father and husband. She was a naturally kind-hearted person, and although there had been no spiritual communication between the two after marrying Deliot, she had no intention of complaining, and was always full of all the love that a wife should have. She even did more than all the women in the world, but she didn't get anything in return. She saw that her husband was becoming more and more obsessed with killing and deciding in order to do the affairs of the country, and the weak heart in her heart could not help but be full of pity for him. She always gave some advice to Delviot, and the Emperor's answers, though very crisp and emotional, were often confirmed afterwards to be just a perfunctory treatment to Empress Isabella.

She had no children, for Deliot had never paid attention to the affairs of men and women, and Queen Isabella had almost never complained. She kept thinking about using her tenderness to touch that hard heart like stone, but unfortunately she never received any gratifying results. Rumors and rumors continue to flow out, some say that the queen is infertile, some say that His Majesty the emperor does not love her at all, or simply there is something more ruthless, and bluntly pointed out that maybe Deliot had an illegitimate child outside with flowers and grass, and the reason why he was cold to the queen was to use this strategy to find a way to force her to take the initiative to give up this position.

Isabella's father, the Duke of Loyle, had also discussed this matter with his daughter in private, and the old duke, who was bent on gaining a foothold in front of the emperor, asked his daughter in an irrefutable tone why she refused to have sex with the emperor, and whether there was really any physical problem.

As soon as these sharp and harsh words were spoken, Isabella immediately fell into despair, and even at this time, she still wanted to hide the true situation, and only blindly answered that it was her own fault.

That night, she had tried to get close to her husband, who had just finished a day's work on state affairs, but Deliot really broke her heart, and Emperor Tamborance pushed the queen away, and hurriedly left the otherwise warm world of the two.

Every time the emperor came to Isabella's dormitory, the most he did was to drink tea and chat, or ask the queen to help him knock on his back and move his muscles. These actions are all too commonplace for close friends to carry out without scruples, but these are all Deliotot did to the queen. He never even really shared a bed with Isabella, but only symbolically lay down in his clothes to dispel suspicion.

As a woman with a normal body and mind, it is indeed difficult to survive this erotic attack. She was alone and sad, silently suffering from all the pain that she could not be humane. The death of the old Duke Borot was the straw that broke the camel's back, and Isabella felt that she had to go out for a walk, or she might do something that would shock others and make her regret for the rest of her life.

She took only a few of her most intimate maids, and left the city of Cesar, which was full of all the sad past, when the moon was hazy. She left a letter to Deliotot, and the soldiers defending the city did not dare to stop the Empress, so they flew to inform His Majesty the Emperor as soon as she stepped out on her front foot.

Del Liot seemed to have a heart in his heart, and acquiesced in the queen's unreasonable behavior. He learned from the letter that Isabella was going to Bilti, "what the hell knows what she thinks!" said the Emperor with chagrin, for it had never occurred to him to find the reason. With what he considered magnanimous, he sent two letters to Iros and Albert, delivered by the most powerful messenger in the Empire, and delivered them to their destination exactly one day and one night before Isabella.

General Iros is a suspicious man, and although his ideas are often not so accurate, this old problem is basically impossible to get rid of. Queen Isabella is Deliot's bedside, although she has never given birth, but after all, she is still theoretically more noble than everyone here. Iros couldn't help but think, could it be that the emperor felt distrustful of him and specially used this seemingly unrelated person to secretly control the overall situation?

Once this idea is opened, it can't help but make General Qiu feel frustrated. There is a shortage of major generals under his command, and he has been restrained and humiliated by the milky Albert before, and now there is another Queen Isabella, and he, the so-called person in charge of the overall situation, can still be used as a fart!

In contrast, Albert was a little noncommittal about the arrival of the queen. Even the military advisor Talen Crawford had to admit that he did not understand the emperor's mind and was not sure what he was doing this move.

Empress Isabella did not come in a carriage as everyone imagined, but unexpectedly rode all the way on horseback like all men, and the female officials around her were specially trained when they entered the palace, and naturally followed and protected all the way in the same posture.

The queen is a little younger than Deliot, about thirty years old, and her appearance is well maintained, although she does not belong to that natural beauty, but at this stage, she can show a different kind of charm just right.

The whole city of Birti was lit up early to welcome the queen's arrival, and the important people even waited on the east road of the city about half a day in advance.

In order to show his loyalty, Iros stepped forward with a roar and grabbed the queen's slender waist, and carefully helped her off the horse.

The queen bowed her head slightly to everyone in thanks. Claudia, the young Countess de Stini, stood out in the crowd, and the queen seemed to be ready to find her as her companion at once. The spark of friendship that is unique to a woman soon sparked between the two.
