"What does His Majesty mean?"

Archduke Ollick was sitting in the Doge's palace in Lorda, and opposite him was the royal emissary who had just arrived from Mantas, that is, the emissary of his cousin, His Majesty King Salondran. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"His Majesty has agreed to your plan, the Grand Duke, and to the demands of the two Orientals, but His Majesty has demanded that no one but us know about this matter, at least not our subjects." The messenger said as he handed the letter with the king's seal in his hand to Archduke Ollik.

"I understand that this is a little string attaché that I am negotiating with them, and I think they will say yes. And even if they don't agree to spread the word in the remote countryside of the Free Cities Alliance, we guarantee that the news will not reach our country, let alone our enemies. Archduke Ollick assured.

"In that case, then I will return to the capital, and His Majesty will leave the matter to you with full authority, and he says that you will not let him down." The messenger saluted, got up and left the governor's palace, and Governor Loka Lane, one of the three governors of the southern part of the kingdom, entered from the next room.

"Grand Duke, what shall we do? Your Majesty, this is to hand over to you all the difficult things in this war. Governor Loka sat down in a nearby chair and asked Archduke Orik.

"We don't have a choice, tell the Oriental that His Majesty agrees to his request, but he is to keep the matter as secret as possible, and it is better not to let other foreign powers know."

Archduke Ollick sighed helplessly, took out something like roasted tobacco, and took a hard bite, and then his face was hideous, but he soon became relaxed.

"Let that Oriental man be proud, he won't be proud for long. I want to see what he is going to do to feed his army and his so-called people under the economic sanctions of the kingdom. ”

.......

We didn't wait, news soon came from the kingdom's side, and Salondron finally agreed with us, ceding all the land from the north of Ankel to South Anker to us, and Grandel was finally not the border of the Free Cities Alliance, and they could now enjoy the hinterland.

"His Exalted King loves his people and loves his country. But the people of the Union of Free Cities, now a self-governing organization, need a different way of life, and the people of the Anker region are demanding to join this poor and lonely life. His Majesty does not want his people to suffer, just as a father does not want his son to suffer. However, he respected the choice of the people of the region, so His Majesty the King granted the above areas autonomy, but they remained part of the kingdom and were subject to the king's jurisdiction. Li Xiaopan, an Oriental, and Fang Zi, an Oriental, were leaders elected by the local people, so the king gave them the right to allow them to have the right to govern the Free Cities Alliance, which would give Ankel the financial jurisdiction of the region, all for the sake of the kingdom. ”

The inexplicable and loud letter I'm seeing now is an official letter from the kingdom, and if you need to release news, it will be this kind of news. It may sound unpleasant, but the kingdom has given us what we want, given us the legitimate territory we need, and since then the kingdom has no relationship with the Free Cities Alliance and the people of the Autonomous Region of Anker, because they will be loyal to me in the future! Or to be loyal to me and Fang Zi. Of course, I could have pushed my sister to the front of the stage, but the kingdom made it clear that they didn't want to see Sister Averia's name appear in the position of the ruler of a place, otherwise they would rather continue this war endlessly. Although we have the military advantage, as Orrick said during the previous negotiations, our supplies are starting to run out, so I can only put aside the idea of splitting the kingdom for the time being, agree to the kingdom's demands, and become a self-governing lord on the kingdom's side, and have no title. Of course, who cares about the title given by the kingdom, even if it is the grand duke of the kingdom, you let him put up a shelf in my territory. We've got enough real benefits, and we don't care about the fame.

In front of the kingdom messenger, I took out a pen and wrote my name on the official letter, and also wrote her name in place of Fang Zi (although it is all Chinese Simplified, but who will translate it.) After that, they did a symbolic kingdom ceremony, and did not take an oath to the king and the kingdom as the kingdom required, nor did they say anything about allegiance to the kingdom, but I also gave them a promise that was more useful than the previous vain things: "Don't worry, as a lord of the kingdom, my friend Fang Zi and I will not cause trouble for His Majesty the king again." ”

As for the envoy of the kingdom, my words also made him breathe a sigh of relief, and then nodded and bowed to me slightly.

"Thank you, Mr. Archon, for your cooperation. You can rest assured that His Majesty will not be idle and bored to trouble you, as long as you do not embarrass His Majesty. Perhaps one day His Majesty will ask you for something, and His Majesty will show enough sincerity when you are willing to help. In the end, hopefully this thing won't be publicized, as you promised. After saying this, the messenger of the kingdom bowed, turned and left our barracks, left the best fire in the vicinity, returned to the snow, walked through the land where tens of thousands of the kingdom's elite warriors were buried, and got into a carriage and headed for Mantas.

I covered myself with a blanket, enjoyed the fire in front of me, played with the official letter in my hand, and in the end did not throw it into the flames and burn it to ashes, but left it, although I did not like any of the words in it, but as the kingdom said, this matter will be kept in high secrecy within the kingdom, and this letter is also a proof of our legitimate rights.
