As it turns out, it will.

The autumn is getting stronger, the heavy fruit is heralding the harvest festival, and the harvest begins to begin in the Metz region after the 'Ariel Month' (1). While the military aristocracy continued to garrison troops on the Western Front, they began to arrange for the tenant farmers in their territories to carry out the work of the autumn harvest, until the Silver Queen's attempt to invade Metz before the autumn harvest was completely ruined, both on the Eastern and Western Fronts.

But it's not all useless.

After the 'Great Solar Eclipse' on Holy Hugh, the unnatural glaciers and snow in the area from the East Mez Golden Needle Forest to the Silver Valley Bay gradually began to melt, and the war of that day dealt a devastating blow to agriculture in the area, and the ensuing food crisis in Port Fatan and Ovehin caused the nobles to order the urgent mobilization of food from the Ludwig and Mehotofen regions for relief. The inevitable panic caused by the multiple eclipses of the past few days in the region, and the fact that astrologers claimed to the populace that it was a disorder of the law caused by the influence of a once-in-a-millennium magical tide led to the rise of doomsday and the rise of forces lurking in the shadows.

In response, the eldest son had to impose martial law on Port Fatan and Owekhin, a move that actually slowed down the progress of their counteroffensive on the Eastern Front.

However, it is worth mentioning that after Medisa and Nimesis regained the passage from Wallach to the Golden Needle Forest, the military nobles stationed in the north took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to regain the Flower Leaf Territory and eliminate the remnants of the White Legion assembled there. On the one hand, the Duke of Weina obeyed Brando's instructions and stationed a heavy army at the Argen Pass, and on the other hand, ordered that Ilea, the second daughter of the Grand Duke of Mohama and Faina's sister, who was under house arrest in Fort Verrossa, be rescued and escorted to Port-Fatan to meet her sister.

There was also an interlude in between.

After seeing her sister who had been trapped for many days, Faina lost control of her feelings and hugged her sister and cried loudly. Table xiàn is extremely out of shape. In fact, ever since Mehotofen was put in a prison car, her spirits have been tense all the time, and even after she was later rescued, she still feared for the safety of her father and sister. It wasn't until the reversal of the East Mez that Métisa and Nimesis conquered the passage to the Golden Needle Forest in Valachi, after Duke Wei Na reverted to the Flower Leaf Collar. The heavy burden in her heart can be considered to have landed.

However, the moment I saw my sister, the negative feelings that had accumulated over the past few days inevitably erupted.

The Emperor's eldest son's counterattack was slow, but after entering the second half of the harvest month, the sporadic battles between the eastern Mez region and Mehotofen were still over, and the southern nobles who were now loyal to the emperor's eldest son as Brando went north even further captured the fortress of Asaph and brought the Evergreen Corridor under their control.

Since then, the entire campaign on the Eastern Front has been completely completed, and Brando has been allowed to leave the Metz region in accordance with the agreement to send the White Legion, which had been 'resting' in the prisoner of war camp for many days, in the Businyan Forest.

In fact, the question of the White Legion was a stir among the northern nobility, with many people, including Duke Weina, believing that they should be detained until the end of the war. But in the end, the emperor's eldest son, Lenaret, supported Brando's decision, and the Count of Orcons and other southern nobles also agreed to this decision.

After all, everyone who really participated in the offensive battle plan of that day knew in their hearts that although the White Army surrendered in the battle of Fatanham, it did not really lose its combat strength, and leaving them in East Mez was tantamount to a time bomb that could be detonated at any time.

What's more, Count Orcons also believed that in the civil war of the Empire, their side must maintain a moral superiority. Don't let a small thing go wrong. In the end, his opinion was agreed among the northern nobility, and now that the Count of Orcons had become Lenaret's right-hand man, he was clearly very satisfied with his present position. Completely forgot the scene when he was on the side of the Silver Queen and opposed Brando, and claimed in public many times that he and Brando were 'not fighting and not knowing'.

For this guy's cheekiness, Brando is also speechless.

But two weeks after the White Legion left Businyan, the bad news came that on the first day of entering Banker, the White Legion's Legion's Legion, Duke Ambunar, had chosen to end his life in an inn in Grichel. It is said that he did not leave any will. In a letter to the Silver Queen, the Duke apologized for failing to repay the royal trust, detailed his lifelong loyalty and faith, and finally tactfully warned the Emperor of the Empire that the ghost of Madara was not to be trusted.

Constance after receiving the letter. He sighed slightly, then reduced it to ashes.

Later, she did not condemn Ambunar to his family for his performance in the war, but ordered him to be buried in a solemn manner, and then let the eldest son of the Duke of Ambunar take the throne.

Brando had no feelings about the death of the Duke of Ambonard, only a little regret, at least the Duke was a man of honor; But the righteous are inevitably tragic, and the Duke could even compromise with his enemies in order to preserve the White Legion, but at the end of the day, he chose to redeem his honor as a soldier with his own life.

The news of the death of the Duke of Ambunar returned to Port Fatan, three days after the Harvest Sacrifice, when Brando was bored listening to the decision of Prince Lenaret and his courtiers, which in fact had nothing to do with him, since since the middle of the month, the Eruin had withdrawn from the competition that had taken place within the Empire, and the fleet from Tonigel, though still anchored in Port Fatan, would in fact leave for Valhalla at any time.

At this point, the mission of the envoys had in fact failed.

However, the Eruin people have been given more than originally thought, and the ancient kingdom has more choices as to how the holy war will be carried out in the future.

And just as the Duke of Weina was impassionedly mentioning the need for a counteroffensive on the Western Front, the door of the hall was slammed open by the panting Count of Orcons, who brought with him news of the death of the Duke of Ambonard, and another piece of news-

Just three days after the death of the Duke of Ambonard, the silver queen Constance made an announcement:

In the center of the imperial government where she ruled, a grand engagement ceremony was soon taking place, with one party taking part in the engagement of a hill prince from Wallach, but the other party was unexpected—the woman was not one of the queen's daughters. Rather, the newly ordained Countess of Wallachs.

As for this mysterious countess, in fact, from the day she was ordained, there were all kinds of rumors among the people, some rumors that she was also a mountain dweller, while others said that she was not from the Empire before she was ordained, but from one of the empire's states. Each of these rumors, full of mysteries, made people more interested in the countess, in all the regions under the Queen's rule. The engagement ceremony was being discussed, and for a moment even their military defeat in the Metz region seemed to be forgotten.

The heated discussion caused by the engagement ceremony even spread to the districts of Metz, Mehothoven and Ludwig, which were controlled by the emperor's eldest son, and although the people were a little more deserted, the nobles were also discussing the unusual move of the silver queen. From the very beginning, the marriage had a strong political color, and it was obvious that it was to appease the mountain people who had declared their allegiance to the Silver Queen, but what they didn't understand was why the other party had made such a big deal about it.

Was it just to cover up previous military defeats?

The Cruz people don't understand, but someone knows it in their hearts.

Brando understood that this time the prime minister's daughter was right.

After a brief hesitation, he immediately began to make arrangements. The confrontation between the east and west of the empire has been formed, and although Lenaret's power is not yet stable, it finally has a place to stand. He wasn't going to let the Eruin people charge for the Cruz throne, so now was the time to pull his hands away.

The first is to let Oni, Enid and others leave the empire with the little prince, the mission of the envoy is over, and the mission of the little prince is also over. Although Haruzer also euphemistically expressed his desire to stay with him after learning that the teacher was going to stay, he was refuted by Brando on the grounds that "the king must be responsible to his people".

But looking at the little prince's reluctant eyes. Brando's heart is also slightly warm, and the former has grown a lot since this mission. finally has the temperament of being a king. This made him feel very relieved - at least worthy of the dangers he had experienced in the process, although there were some troubles, at least the 'Highness the Princess' on the battlefield that the soldiers had passed on to him, and he had not yet figured out how to explain to Princess Griffien where the vanished 'Princess Fossa had gone).

Fortunately, I don't have to face Her Royal Highness the princess for the time being.

Before the fleet left, Brando and Nimersis met.

After absorbing the war slate that day, Senior Sister Bai Jia's personality fell into a deep sleep. I haven't woken up yet, and I don't know what kind of abilities I've acquired. And then Nimesis's personality took the initiative in the body, and the first time she saw Brando, she directly gave the latter a resounding slap without saying a word, and then looked at him through gritted teeth. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

But Brando looked at the shape of her lips and read the meaning of this sentence: Dog man and woman!

Brando couldn't cry or laugh, of course he knew that her slap was for the sake of Senior Sister Bai Jia teasing him at the beginning, but it wasn't at his behest, and he was a victim himself.

Fortunately, he also felt a little guilty in his heart for this girl who inherited the soul of his senior sister, and he didn't care about anything, but he felt very funny when he saw that the other party had broken the coldness that he had rejected thousands of miles away, and his face had been blushing to the base of his neck.

"Miss Nimesis, whatever you think of me, but this time Iruin's domestic affairs will be left to you. Although Eruin seems to be calm at the moment, the dark tide is turbulent under the mirror, whether it is the royal party, the empire, or the undead of Madara, if any of the three parties do not deal with it, the kingdom may be in crisis at any time, not to mention that the One Everything Society will definitely take the opportunity to make waves in this situation. ”

Nimesis frowned as if she didn't even want to look at him more, and replied coldly, "I naturally understand, and I don't need you to remind him of this. ”

But she also knew that among Princess Griffithin's ministers, only the one in front of her was the most clear about Eruin's future, so she still asked, "If you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Brando nodded, satisfied with Nimesis' ability to keep her calm in the big picture.

"Go and tell Her Highness Princess Sù that the undead will definitely start the Second War of the Black Roses within this year, no matter what anyone says to her. All let her not believe that the black rose in the opposite Bromandor must give up a fluke! ”

"Do you know, the royal party has always thought that you want to use the threat of the undead to expand your influence," Nimesis looked at him coldly, "You mean to let Her Royal Highness the princess completely oppose him?" ”

"It's just a group of short-sighted people who think so, and I'm sure there are people in the royal party who can see this clearly. Politics is an art of compromise, Miss Nimesis. But you don't have to compromise with anyone. ”

"I'll bring the words to me."

"Thank you."

"No thanks, it's not for you."

Silently watching Nimesis get on the boat, Brando couldn't help but touch his cheek, "Shhh Although his defense is already beyond ordinary people now, it is not possible to shield the pain, not to mention that Nimeisis's current strength is not bad at all, after absorbing the second stone slab. The other party has faintly touched the realm of the elements.

"How's it going, does it hurt?" At this time, a somewhat teasing voice came from behind him: "Mr. Earl." ”

Brando turned around, only to find that it was the little princess of the Sephach family. Chiara was wearing a delicate princess dress today, holding a purple parasol that looked like a doll, and two ponytails glittering in the golden sun, and she looked up at Brando with a look of interest on her face. From time to time, a sly light flashed in his blue eyes.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Sifah family, greet your brother on my behalf."

"I will." The little princess smiled and replied, "But I have a question for you, Monsieur Earl. ”

Brando made a gesture of please.

"Now that you should know what my brother is going to do, I want to ask you, Mr. Earl, are you going to marry me?"

"Poof!"

Brando almost choked himself, and he couldn't help but cough violently. He's seen a lot of straightforward questions, but it's the first time he's been so straightforward. In particular, it was only a small person who asked the question, although he did not know how old the little princess was, but judging by her poorly developed breasts, and the size of her tiptoes only below his chest. It doesn't look like it's over fourteen.

"Your Royal Highness......," Brando replied with a cough and a laugh, "I'll wait until you're an adult." ”

"Cut," Kiara looked disdainful, "hypocrisy, don't think I don't know the filthiness of the nobles, I'm the daughter of the royal family, don't you want me?" ”

Brando felt that if he continued to say this, someone on the side would call the gendarme, and hurriedly interrupted the little devil and said, "Enough, Your Highness Princess." ”

"Humph!" Chiara snorted softly, not looking away, but her little face was stained with a blush. She was a little unconvinced: "My brother is no better than your washboard princess except for his eyes, and what kind of 'Princess Fusa' His Royal Highness, let him be the king, it is better to marry him, anyway, there are always many people who are good at this - what kind of king does Eruin need, don't you understand?" ”

Brando shook his head slightly: "Miss Chiara, if your brother's surname is Colcova, then he will make an excellent king. ”

"The Sifah family also once ruled Eruin!"

"But that's just the time, Miss Chiara, you're a smart girl, and you should know what I'm talking about."

Chiara's eyes darkened slightly, and she bit her lip, as if she was very unconvinced, but with her wisdom, she certainly knew that Brando was right—that the ancient kingdom could not withstand another upheaval. She stood there, frowning and wringing her hands, Brando had never seen such a childish side of the little princess since she had known her.

His heart softened slightly, and he was about to say a few words of comfort to her, but he didn't expect Chiara to react first, interrupting him: "You don't have to comfort me, I don't want a guy like you to pretend to comfort me, I have one more thing." ”

"Huh?"

Brando was slightly stunned.

Chiara lowered her head, wrapped her hands around the back of her neck, and untied a necklace. She put the necklace in the palm of her hand, and then handed it to Brando: "No, this is the amulet my father gave me, I will borrow it from you first, and you will return it to me alive." ”

Brando always felt that there was something wrong with the other party's words, and he looked at the necklace in his hand, which still carried the residual warmth of the little princess's body temperature, which was a beautiful crystal pendant, and there seemed to be churning blood inside. He thought as if he had seen the necklace there, but he immediately saw the Sifah family crest carved into the base of the pendant, and remembered what the necklace meant, which was once the mark of royal blood.

Although he was a little unimpressed with things like amulets, Brando didn't expect the other party to lend him such a valuable thing, and the intention carried on it can be imagined, and he was slightly moved in his heart: "Your Royal Highness Princess......"

Unexpectedly, Kiara looked disgusted: "Quickly put away your expression that is more ugly than crying, disgusting to death, I just don't want to be widowed before I get married!" ”

Brando's words suddenly knotted, he always felt that if he continued to talk to Her Royal Highness the princess, he was afraid that he would really die of myocardial infarction, and he didn't know where the other party's strange thoughts came from, where did she receive her aristocratic education?
