Chapter 22: The Sea of Flowers
The final result of the negotiations: the HRE Empire did not cede the Duchy of Schleswig, but opened the northern part of the border realm to the Normans who were willing to go south.
At first glance, it seems that the HRE Empire was slightly damaged, and the Helsingh Empire gained a small profit, but the Schleswig Frontier Territory itself was sparsely populated by the Franks, and the introduction of Normans in the short term would boost economic development and tax revenue, so the Frontier Empire's pioneer earls would be acceptable to it.
However, in the long run, the introduction of Normans will inevitably exacerbate internal divisive tendencies, and Medea can calmly use these Norman inhabitants to spy on the frontier, control the economy, or exert political influence.
With the existence of this result, it is equivalent to opening the door of the empire to the south...... Although it was only a small slit, it was enough to gag the mouths of the Norman nobles in the country.
After completing the basic peace talks, the two sides instructed their respective adjutants to sign the agreement, and then brought it back to China in duplicate to inform the dignitaries.
Then, it's time for the girls to take care of their personal affairs.
Looking at the murderous and ready to go, little Lilith shouted excitedly:
"Let's go, get back Daddy! One piece for each person! ”
"Shut up!" Medea hit her again, and little Lilith hurriedly hid behind Eleanor and shouted aggrievedly, "Aunt Eleanor save me!" ”
"Medea, violence doesn't solve the problem." Eleanor stopped in front of Medea and said earnestly.
Little Lilith hid behind Eleanor's calves, grimacing at her mother's wah-wa-wah-wah, and Medea was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms, and roared:
"Violence doesn't solve the problem, but it makes me angry!"
"The most important thing is to degasse." Sidlifa said with a big grin beside her, "Eleanor, you have no experience in dealing with little succubus girls, and we have suffered from her for several years. ”
"Really?" Eleanor watched as Medea chased and beat little Lilith, who was running around crying and screaming, and howled more fiercely than anyone else, even though she didn't suffer a few pains.
Looking at it, she couldn't help but smile on her face:
I want children too.
Then Knight Ji remembered that after more than a month of marriage, he had all kinds of fun and wanton messing around with Aske every night...... She suddenly put her hand on her lower abdomen.
When you return to the Empire, take it to the hospital for a check-up.

"I've been checked, I'm not pregnant."
Back at the Licinius Mansion, Nora's first words startled Asker.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Asker, who was relieved, said angrily, "How can you get pregnant in one night?" I'm not a stallion! ”
"Oh, what about Medea?" Nora sneered.
Asker: ???
"That's because succubi have a special physique...... he replied with little confidence.
"You're working harder, aren't you?" Nora said angrily, "When I was teased by others, I wanted to shoot my brain out." ”
"Where did you learn this meaty joke?" Aske said.
"On TV shows and games." Nora replied confidently, taking Asker's hand by the way, and the two teleported back to Hearthfire Island.
When he returned after a few years of absence, Aske was taken aback by the sight in front of him.
After the original Furnace Fire Island and the second Heavenly Mountain merged, the area and volume were expanded several times, and the original vegetation was also thinned.
However, what appeared in front of Aske at this time was the dense vegetation that covered the mountains:
On the flat strip near the beach by the sea are large green grasslands and bushes, on which deer and rabbits graze; Closer to the mountains, upwards are lush forests with a large number of unknown flocks of birds.
The top of the mountain, which was empty and empty except for the Hearthfire Island Manor, has been covered by a large area of flowers at this time, and the rich and charming fragrance fills the air, but there is no pollen that makes people sneeze, as if it is a fairyland on earth.
"During your absence, I will come here every day to plant a bouquet of flowers." Nora looked at the brilliant sea of flowers in front of her, and pulled the hair on the side of her face behind her ears, "Before you know it, there are so many ......"
"What if I don't come back and the top of the mountain is planted by then?" Asker hugged Nora's waist from behind, sniffing the fragrance around her neck.
"Then wait for you to come back, and then make you into flower fertilizer." Nora grinned and frightened him, took Asker's hand, and ran to the flower garden next to the manor, "You see, these are my experimental varieties. ”
"The blue-purple color is a cross between violets and grapes, and the petals are rich in anthocyanins, and there is a gradient color effect after flowering." Nora pointed to these rare flowers and said, "The red one is General Redbeard, look at his petals one by one, is he shouting?" I made ...... with roses and mimosas."
"You look at the pick? When we get married in a few days, I'll decorate the wedding scene with the flowers you chose. ”
"Married?" Asker was a little surprised.
"That's right." Nora tilted her head together and smiled, "Your wedding to Eleanor is invalid without God's witness. This time our wedding, the Pope will help us witness~"
Asker: ???
Well, in fact, the wedding is just a ceremony, it doesn't matter if there is one more step or one less procedure, right?
However, Nora had to force himself to convince himself, so he could only laugh awkwardly. The two snuggled up to each other in front of the flower bed and stood quietly for a while.
"For the flower of the wedding venue, choose this red beard." Asker said.
"Why?" Nora leaned on his shoulder, "Is it because of the genetic origin of roses?" ”
"Nope." Asker said, "Because red is festive." ”
Nola: ?
………………
HRE Empire, Aachen.
Recently, the people of Aachen have been very happy, because the Holy See seems to have reconciled with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the technical support and material supplies that had been withdrawn have returned.
Even in the first few days, a large number of citizens went on a shopping spree and attended Mass, as if to make up for the share that had been lost some time ago.
Despite the singing and dancing of the people of Aachen, the Grand Palace was gloomy. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess blushed and took Medea and Sidlifa to run around, informing them of the situation and the people of the Saxon family.
Knowing that "there is an inner ghost in our family", Otto II was also furious and scolded Matilda for a bloody squirt. How can you help outsiders kidnap your brother-in-law?
Matilda could only cry and apologize to her sister, saying that she should not be obsessed with money...... Medea and Sidlifa watched the whole process, and little Lilith watched with relish.
Although Eleanor was half angry, the person was gone, and it was useless to blame her sister at this time, so she could only say to her family:
"I'm going to join forces with Medea and Sidlifa, and go to Nora to pressure her to return."
So Otto II immediately had some doubts, after all, the Saxon family had just eased relations with the Holy See, and it was really inappropriate to take the initiative to tear their faces.
But after all, my daughter has already made up her mind, as long as she is not stupid enough to be like herself back then, and forcibly launch the imperial southern expedition to the Holy See, it is nothing to say hello...... Anyway, this matter is obviously a loss for the Holy See, and there are two demigods in Helsinger who are willing to accompany her.
