Setaka, the great queen (note, not the emperor) and leader of the Ascenders.

Interestingly, Setaka is also an empress in Shurima, in addition to being the Ascended and the Imperial Commander - which is why she is called the Queen of the Ascension.

Azir was not familiar with the story of Setaka, but he was familiar with it, and he twisted his fingers, then quickly flipped through a few pages of Nasus's notes, and was somewhat surprised to find that most of the notes contained in them were messages that had been written in the text of history.

Sertaka's birth, exploits, ascension, and death in battle......

Azir patiently looked at it again, but found nothing worthy of his attention, which he had not known before.

In other words, this time Nasus did not reveal any secrets, but simply put Setaka's life in front of Azir.

Azir was confused about Nasus's actions - he apparently didn't know what Nasus's purpose was.

"I said it." Nasus opened his mouth to emphasise, "Miss Nami and Miss Setaka are the same kind of people. ”

Nasus's words made Azir frown.

"Actually, I am not in a position to dictate the private and emotional problems of others, even if they are the emperor of Shurima and my leader." Nasus looked up, his dark eyes calmly staring at Azir, "But...... Like you said, there are some things I have to say for the sake of Shurima. ”

"But I don't want to hear it." As if guessing Nasus's words, Azir waved his hand and handed the note back into Nasus's hand, "You know, I've always disliked being told about my private life. ”

"But this time you have no position to refuse." Nasus suddenly raised his tone, "Now Shurima has no more foundation for you to be willful, this country is still great, but it has lost its glory for a long time, all the people of Shurima need a true leader, a perfect, idol leader, only in this way, our people will gradually regain their confidence and straighten their backs." ”

"Are you saying that I will give them a bad example?" Azir was visibly dismissive of Nasus' words, "What? Eating it all is the right of the strong. ”

"So, what about women?" Nasus was not in the slightest distracted by Azir's sophistry, "Do you know the proportion of women among the Celestial warriors? ”

“…… About forty percent? ”

"No, but close." Nasus nodded, "In its heyday, Shurima had over three hundred Celestial warriors, and there were one hundred and forty-seven women. ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

"And now, Shurima is the least female-friendly area in almost all of Valoran." Nasus's tone was full of exhaustion and helplessness, "The barren land and the scarcity of supplies have given the men here a natural and more suitable right to survive, and the women have gradually been reduced to accessories. ”

"It's really not a good sign......"

"In the past, Emperor Shurima had several empresses, which showed the strength of the emperor and the prosperity of the empire, but now, this situation can only illustrate ...... The status of women is worrisome. ”

"......" Azir finally understood what Nasus meant, so he kept his mouth shut.

"That's what I'm talking about." Nasus sensed the change in Azir's attitude and breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the oasis is born, the sand pirates are eliminated, Shurima's products will be quickly restored, and the whole country will once again enter a period of peaceful development, but the problem of women has become a stubborn disease that hinders the country, and now what Shurima lacks is no longer an oasis, no longer water, no longer food, but the people who participate in the work - and the prejudice formed over thousands of years will naturally wipe out half of the people, as far as I know, For the vast majority of women, work is the care of their husbands and children. ”

“…… I kind of see what you mean. Azir touched his nose a little embarrassed, "It does seem like a big problem, but to be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with how many queens I have." ”

"Ms. Setaka is a great example of this." Nasus didn't care about Azir's rebuttal, "Besides, Shurima is missing one of those now. ”

"So you're optimistic about Miss Nami?"

"There is no doubt about it." Nasus nodded, "A strong enough woman - I can say that I didn't think about your feelings all along, so strictly speaking, I didn't point fingers at your private life in any way. ”

“……”

For the first time, Azir discovered that it was a disaster for an honest man who didn't usually like to talk when he started talking - and when he faced Nasus, he found that he couldn't talk a little bit!

Is this still the same Nasus who has been tricked by himself several times to be a wingman?

"Okay, okay." Azir decided to end the conversation quickly, "What do you think I should do?" Marry that Miss Nami, and then don't have a second queen? ”

Nasus didn't speak, but judging by his expression, he should have acquiesced to Azir's statement.

"But the problem now is that I'm not doing my tricks well - she doesn't seem to care about my hints at all, which is something I haven't seen before, you know what I mean?"

"So we should take a different approach." A smile finally appeared on Nasus's face, "She cares about her people, maybe we can put forward a few conditions that are not too excessive." ”

"An exchange of interests?"

"The mermaids will receive Shurima's friendship, and in exchange, Miss Nami will ascend to the throne of the queen and dedicate the rest of her life to Shurima—doesn't that sound great?" Nasus threw out the plan he had thought of earlier, "I think ...... Miss Nami will accept that. ”

"I really didn't expect that I would ever accept a political marriage." Azir's tone was full of desperation, "Is there really no room for reversal?" ”

"I think you'll enjoy it." Nasus raised his eyebrows, showing a rare expression that was not very serious, "For the sake of the girl, she chose to sacrifice herself, intending to marry someone she had never met, but on the day of the wedding, she found out that this person was the person she had longed for - don't tell me it wasn't your plan." ”

“……”

Azir, who had been punctured by Nasus, was finally stunned.
