In the vault of the Governor of Britannia's mansion, several bright wizard fires were burning silently. The two old men were looking at the water mirror in front of them, slowly telling something. The two young men stood quietly behind them, not saying a word.

It's just that he is also an old man, although an old man's hair is white, the light in his pupils is condensed and extremely powerful. And the back is even more upright, like a spear piercing the sky. Although time took away the strong physique of his youth, it could not take away his strong will.

And compared to him, the other old man is obviously much older. He barely kept his eyes open, and there was chaos in his eyes. It's like a torch that is about to burn out, and what supports him is just an obsession in his heart.

And these two people are none other than Allen, the governor of Britannia, and Philip, Count of Île-de-France. And the one who can talk to these two big names is naturally not an unknown person.

What was reflected in the water mirror was the old face of the Governor of Shinra.

"I'm sorry, Conrad, the children believe in me, but I can't bring them back to the Empire......"

It seems that the old man of Shuijue is in tears, and he no longer has the vigor of commanding the three armies a few months ago. The Grand Duke apologized to his old friend, although he knew that it was completely useless, but what else could he do at the moment?

“…… Don't blame yourself, Philip, I know you've done your best, but maybe it's providential. ”

Compared with the energetic Allen, Conrad, who has been sick for a long time, is really not in a good situation. He gasped for a long time before he could say a word. The water lord was depressed in his heart, but he was not the same, but he felt more and more that the governor had no energy to comfort his old friend anymore.

The Governor of the HRE sighed and said to Allen, "There is some trouble on both Basil and Louis's side. I don't feel comfortable putting Shanaido with them. After a while, I cleaned up the scum in the HRE territory, and then took Shanado back. Before that. Shanaiduo will bother you too much......"

"I will treat Shanaiduo as my own daughter, and I won't say anything more. Be careful yourself. ”

In fact, the two governors understood that those grand dukes in the HRE territory were old fritters who had fought with Conrad all their lives. Everyone stumbles on each other, and throwing knives is not a day or two. If these bastards could be dealt with so easily, how could Conrad keep them until now.

When Conrad was young, he had the strong support of the other two central provinces, not to mention that now he was old and frail, and the other two governors were in trouble at the same time.

Emperor Basil was old and frail. It's been a long time since I was able to serve as a director. In this cold winter, the quarrels between the senators and the royalists in the Senate of the Reich were not heard for a day. And Alexios, the bastard, jumped up and down like a monkey, pouting his henchmen to constantly confront the Empire.

Louis XIV's situation was better, but it was only a limited success. Although relying on iron-fisted means, Louis completely subdued most of the nobles in the territory of the Demon and let them know who is the master of the Demon Demon. But the diehards of Aquitaine and Burgundy refused to give in, and the Normans took advantage of the victory of the Normans, and the Poles, who had been relatively stable, began to stir up.

Louis was still able to hold it down, but it was predictable. Until Louie cleaned up the clowns, he couldn't help his friends.

It's just that what else can Allen say besides saying that? If a certain Great Witch's previous arrangement will certainly make the Empire break its bones. But if it is still within the limits of the Empire, then now that the witch is sent back to the Tower of Sinners, the situation is slowly sliding towards the abyss of the unknown.

Now no one can say where the empire will go. The Normans were no small threat, but nothing more. Only the chaos within the empire is the real headache for the governors.

"Don't talk about these unhappy things, come, Somalina, and tell your Uncle Conrad about the recent affairs of Shanaiduo. Louie. Don't cower back either......"

"Yes, father."

"Yes. Father. ”

The gentle lady obediently came to the water mirror and gently pinched the corner of her skirt in front of the lord of the Shinra. And the handsome young man also bowed deeply to the governor. Between the movements, everyone is magnificent.

"Long time no see, Lord Conrad."

“…… It's Somalina, you're so old......"

The last time we met, this aristocratic lady was still a child, but I didn't expect that in a flash, the other party was already a slim girl. Time is really unforgiving, the seven governors of the empire gathered in the imperial palace, and the scene of seven young people debating impassionedly in front of the empire map is still vivid, but I didn't expect that it was already the end of the year at this time.

The ambitions of the past are long gone, and all that remains is this body full of holes. The great dreams of the past have long been put aside, and the only reason why they refuse to die at the moment is simply because they have not yet paved the way for their daughter.

He could not give his daughter an official title, and even if she was infamous as a tyrant, he would send her to the throne of the governor. As an unqualified father, that's all he can do.

Conrad looked at the beautiful and moving girl in front of him, and he was stunned.

Compared with the three governors of the three central provinces of the empire, Allen's ability in all aspects is indeed a cut behind. But there was one aspect that the three governors were far from being able to reach—and that was the number of children.

Although a few have also died young, Alan can indeed be called a full house of children and grandchildren. And the two in front of him are the two he is most satisfied with. Deliberately nurtured by the Governor, Louie was impeccable in every way. Young, handsome, knowledgeable, strong in martial arts, gentle to others, but never gullible to others, and has his own opinions in his actions. Especially in the past few years, he has been trained by the governor to the territory, and he has already had a little bit of his father's shadow.

Somalina was no less adept, not only skilled in the skills expected of a noble woman, but also well versed in the ways of the court, no less than the Habsburg Marys. It is foreseeable that as long as she finds an excellent husband for her, she will definitely be able to provide considerable help to her brother.

Compared to the two governors who were always worried about their heirs. Alan was so lucky, so lucky that Conrad was a little jealous. Although in order of heirs, both of them are relatively backward. But Ellen definitely doesn't mind making an exception.

For the sake of the family's stable inheritance, what about killing your eldest son? That crap is more than Louie. It's just too bad. If Conrad were willing to marry Shanaido to Lui, then everything would be perfect. Pity......

But this kind of thing is really not demanding. Even if the dead sister had agreed, the other two governors wouldn't have agreed - even if they knew that this might be the quickest way to save the situation.

"Uncle Conrad?"

“…… When people are old, they always like to wander. Say it, Somalina. Tell me about Shanaiduo......"

"Yes, Uncle Conrad."

The aristocratic girl's voice was melodious. Any simple thing is so pleasant to say by a woman who is well versed in poetry. It's just that although the girl chose some pleasant little things to tell the governor of Shinra, His Excellency the governor still sensed something from it.

“…… Say no more, Somalina. Conrad waved his hand weakly and stopped the girl's narration, "Don't talk about these happy things, you tell me directly, has Shanaiduo been bullied?" ”

Everyone knows that Conrad is a late sister, who dares to bully the little princess of Shinra?

It's just that she doesn't dare to bully, it doesn't mean that she is popular.

Somalina had a difficult face. She glanced at her father, and after seeing him nod slightly, she finally reluctantly said, "No one dares to underestimate the majesty of the double-headed eagle." It's just ......"

Listening to Somalina's words, Conrad's face gradually turned pale. He was silent for a long time, and then said to Allen: "Allen, you issued a mobilization order for the whole territory, right?" So that little bastard...... That's right, it's the one Shanaiduo kissed, the bastard who should be pulled out and hanged...... Do me a favor......"

……

Ray hung the dead fish eyes, bored at the bottom of the cabin, gnawing on the evil iron of Saron. The incomparably hard special steel was not much harder than a piece of face in front of the girl's little white teeth.

As a member of the deep-sea fleet, the sea is naturally a place for them to gallop. But this time through the world. but deprived her of too much power. In order to maintain the strength to be able to fight, she could only stay in the dark cabin. Nibble on this magical steel to maintain your strength.

"For the sake of the motherland, this pain is bearable...... Damn it. Even the carrier-based aircraft are gone, and the J-20 I just updated is ......"

The depressed members of the Deep Sea Fleet sulked to themselves and crouched in the corner, completely ignoring the other people in the cabin who were talking in a low voice. And a few people knew about Lei's temper, but they didn't care.

Arian Hurd caressed his lower abdomen, and there was tenderness in his eyes.

She had strayed too far from her knighthood, but the woman had no remorse. Before the status of knight, she was just an ordinary woman. She listened to her companions discuss the intrigues one by one, but there was no disgruntled expression on her face as usual.

Although the initial purpose is different, their goal is exactly the same as hers, and that is enough. As for the rest, she didn't want to think too much about it. Thinking back to the reluctance in his sweetheart's black pupils when he left the dock, a slight smile bloomed on Arian Hurd's face.

He really loved her, too.

The next time we meet, we'll give you a big surprise.

"What's the matter, Arian Hurd, isn't feeling well?"

The meeting came to an abrupt end, and everyone else looked at the smiling woman with puzzled eyes. Listening to Luciola's inquiry, Arian Hurd shook his head and smiled: "No, it's nothing, it's just that I'm going back to England, and I'm a little happy." ”

"If the plan works out, you'll probably have to stay in England for a long time."

"I Understand ......" (To be continued)
