"Perhaps the only consolation we have is that Tara and Vinito are no longer part of Ciric. Adel said, and then he glanced at Afra, who lowered her eyes, she didn't know if the Elect of the God of Morning Light had almost sensed her influence on Queen Vinito, but she was extremely impatient at the time, and for this woman who had spent her childhood and adolescence in the temple of the chaotic Red Dragon Gredi, she didn't make a big deal about it, but only slightly disturbed the human woman's sanity— In fact, as she had hoped, Vinito's royal family collapsed completely, and in some cases it was much easier to push an old building and build a new one than to try to repair and improve it. The king of Vinito had been prepared from the beginning to put all the blame on the poor infatuated woman, and before their actions directly threatened Cremar and his party, the elves and priests would only get in the way of law and honor - see how much better the Dragontooth Knights of Crefa did better, swift as lightning and complete as wildfire, leaving the onlookers speechless...... Afra bit her lip lightly and winked at Adel with a pleading look, she wasn't afraid to let anyone know what she had done, but she didn't want to see the disappointment of her admirer look at her anyway.

The adult, from the very beginning, had a deep sense of guilt for her, just because he felt that he had not protected himself and could not save her from that terrible place—but why? There was never any reason in this world that no one had to do anything for another, she had never seen her mother, she had heard that her mother had died because of her, she thought she would be grateful to the woman, without her Afra would not have been able to come into this world, but she was also grateful to her own father, the thief Glenn, if it weren't for him, she might not have been able to have such a close relationship with him as she is now.

And she was not an ordinary mortal, she was a sacrifice from her biological father Glenn to the red dragon Gredi, and a hostage, if it weren't for the name of the tattoo experiment, even the new king at that time might not have been able to bring her out of the temple so many times - after all, the temple and the sanctuary, as well as the women who inhabit it, all belong, and only belong to the red dragon Gredi, who are better things than gold coins to dragons- Although Afra is not a dragonborn, she is still valuable because of her mother and father, but whenever she curls up in the darkness and touches her ribs with her arm, she always has an irrepressible fear of tomorrow, humiliation, punishment, and torture...... It didn't matter, she was afraid of death, the aura of death was everywhere in the obsidian buildings, and the seats at the tables were inexplicably empty almost every day, or maybe Aphra would be summoned to clean a room...... Anyone who had never experienced this would never know what would happen to them, and Afra was scared because she was probably the weakest and most incompetent of the prep apprentices around her, and people like this were always the first to be pushed out.

At this time, Cremar stretched out his hand to her, only him, no one else, Afra knew "sweet", and the softer and more precious emotion than "sweet" - love, it was from him, she would tremble with excitement every time she was hugged by him.

It was He who gave her new life, strength, glory, and the possibility of standing by His side above others.

She would never give up on him.

Kerriben walked over to the calf paper map hanging on the wall, and he looked at the map, where the nations that had been cut into small pieces had been marked with small flags showing their main beliefs, and it was clear that the nations that had been spotted by the elves and the white-robed men had half-surrounded Tara, and the suspicious nations were looking down on the turbulent region from above, Tara's allies had come from the east, but the borders were too narrow— Tara, as we described, resembles a wide belt in the middle, with a thin head and tail, with Vinito below, and the two minor principalities of Monton and Coma on the left— Almost the priests of Rosada have determined that the place that is shrouded in darkness is Arild, a country like a hat, the territory may be a little wider than Tara, and the thin end of the tower stretches out, bordering Gedalia, before Taka's allies passed through Gedalia, and then helped Tara repel the combined forces of Monton and Krom, but such a thing, even with the strong guarantee of the priests of Rosada, can only happen once, after all, Gedalia is also a country, and its king's willingness to let these troops pass through his territory is a very risky move。 You know, decades ago, the soldiers and knights who were expelled by Dylan from Castle Thunder, with their old and young women and children, each group of only a few hundred to a thousand, still made the lords of the land they passed through feel a great threat, and they did not even allow them to approach, let alone pass or stay.

And Tara has been doomed to a bad harvest this year because of the turmoil and "tobacco", the largest income has been lost, and the wealth in the original royal treasury has been "gifted" to their allies by Drew- In addition to the inevitable losses in the war, he couldn't let these knights and soldiers go back empty-handed, otherwise friends might become enemies, and now it was the assets of the Drew family that kept the country running and reorganized, but the rising expenses every day still put a lot of pressure on Tara's new king, and in just a few days, his hairline moved back visibly a finger's width.

But is the war really over? Monton and Coma were defeated, but most of their losses were slaves and soldiers, their knights continued to roam the border with Tara, launching a small attack or two from time to time, and lately there was constant news of assassination of lords and ministers sent by Drew, thieves and assassins were more rampant than ever, and merchants were stagnant, making it very unlikely that Drew would try to borrow money from them.

The people of Tara are probably a little fortunate that they still have the priests of Rosada, the morning light was originally one of Tara's main beliefs, the priests of the gold-rimmed robes came out of the temple and the sanctuary, one is to get rid of harmful crops, and the other is to rejuvenate the burned fields with the help of the druids and elves' water of life, at this time, it is still possible to harvest wheat and sweet potatoes once before the arrival of winter, and the taste may be a little monotonous, but even in the rich Tara, ordinary people will not be too picky about what can fill their stomachs。 Drew needs to be careful not to let his lords, lords, and knights exploit them even more in order to recover the losses in the war. Alas, if there was no black-haired spellcaster to explain the benefits, Drew could only close his eyes and let them trade slaves to replenish the large number of missing populations, but now, he can only be very sorry to let them endure a thing or two, at this time, Drew will be grateful for his ambition, if Tara is still the old king reigning, those nobles who are used to doing whatever they want will not be so easy to give up, but now sitting on the throne is Drew, he has a large and solid family, army, and they can't guess his mind, at least to die down, careful for several years。

Tara's fertile land, warm air, and abundant rain will not make Monton sad until the third year, as long as he supports it, he will survive this year and next.

"Let's get married. Afra said suddenly.

Everyone looked at her, but Afra's beautiful jewel eyes reflected only the dark-haired guardian, and she put her hands behind her back, like a real maiden, eager and innocent, "Let Tara marry Vinito." ”

"Tara and Vinito are mortal enemies......" Kerry blurted out, but he immediately thought about it, Tara and Vinito became mortal enemies for no other reason, like other countries, it was purely a territorial dispute, if in normal times, a group of people who had nothing to do with Tara and Vinito, and the elves suggested that they use the marriage contract to contract the alliance between the two countries, they would only be sent out as madmen and idiots, but now Vinito is Afra's, and Tara's new king, Drew, well, to put it mildly, he still has a lot of respect for them, or rather awe, and this can solve Tara's crisis very well。

Afra shook her head, "It's not an alliance," she said cheerfully, "it's a merger, merging Tara with Vinito." ”

Even the soul of the other world couldn't help but show a slight look of surprise at this moment, but the next moment, he smiled, as if he had understood Afra's thoughts: "Go on," he encouraged in a soft tone, "Let's hear your thoughts." ”

"Let Drew, the new king of Tara and the daughter of the king of Vinito, be married," Afra said calmly, "until their children grow old enough to inherit these two, nay, one nation, Tara and Vinito are allies, but when their children are adults, then the two nations will naturally merge together - there will be many benefits to doing so." First of all, there will be no more friction between the two countries over the border, and secondly, the position of the new kings of both Tara and Vinito will be secured, and finally, some unnecessary troubles, such as those you know, will be able to be quelled. "Afra was referring to some overly energetic young Vinitos, perhaps because they had been instigated, or because they thought that when it was time for them to become heroes, although they did not dare to confront the shining spear tips of the Dragontooth Knight in the open, they had been secretly planning all sorts of ridiculous activities- Adair, Kerryben, Cremar, Afra, and others have all read their plans, and to be honest, if they really follow their plan, there is probably no other possibility than to plunge Vinito into a long-term chaos and provoke the wrath of the Dragontooth Knights, who are not trying to save the country, but to destroy it.

"If they had known the news...... "would have softened a bit, perhaps, anyway, the new king of Vinito, even if he was only a puppet of Afra, was a businessman who had ambitions, but still maintained a certain sanity, after all, the overly greedy guys had been involved in that conspiracy, and now they were either in prison or in the mourning wasteland— He was very observant and cautious, and fortunately he did have a daughter, and only one daughter, perhaps between the ages of ten and twelve, but political marriages were never perfect, but the king, who had been maneuvering between Afra and Vinito, and who had received a lot of support, might have a daughter who was Queen Tara, and his position might have been secured. And it was also a comfort to the people of Vinito, who had said that she would return it, but almost no one believed it. So, what if there is Tara's aid and threat......

And as long as it's a civilian, they want to have no more wars.

"And the new king of Tara doesn't need to worry about the gap between this year and next year," Adel quickly understood the key point: "Vinito has many ports, and if Monton and Coma invade again, then Taka's reinforcements can board the ship to Vinito and enter Tara from Vinito." ”

Carey nodded in agreement.

Drew had a wife before, but the unfortunate woman left him forever with the child in her womb, and then he also planned whether to marry another wife, but because his father's body suddenly became weak, and many of the family's affairs were transferred to his hands, the matter was put on hold, but for this person, love has never been an important thing, of course it is good, it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter.

It's just that when he heard Adelle's words, his expression couldn't help but be a little strange, although the priests of Rosada did not have to be quiet, but they were not allowed to enter into a marriage contract - a priest of Rosada (not an ordinary priest yet, he was the chosen person of the god of the morning light) talked to him about his marriage as if he were discussing a formal government matter, and his wife, although the marriage of a king can also be said to be a government matter, but it is still indescribably strange.

Adel was also in a difficult situation, but who should say it, it was better to keep it secret until it was done—otherwise it was unknown what the despicable Darksun cultists would do. But Kerryben and Eloch are elves, and they are afraid that they will arouse the king's vigilance, and although Lucieu and Afra can be the great grandmothers of this human, their appearance is without exception cardamom girls, as for Cremar...... In the end, he had to take on the task that made him extremely embarrassing.

Drew thought for a moment, and guessed why it was Adel standing in front of him, "Actually," he said with a wry smile, "I don't have that much for elves...... I mean, alienation. Although they are not human, I don't think they will be that kind of ambitious being. ”

"Thank you for your trust," Adel could of course tell the king was telling the truth, "It's just that I'm not so reluctant, after all, most of the people of Tara are followers of the god of morning light, and you are their king - I am willing to cast the morning light at your feet, illuminate the future, and not let you go astray." ”

Drew bowed solemnly to Adele, knowing that when the elect of Rosada said this, it also meant that he would be protected by the god of morning light, just like the kings of the early days of Tara, and he would spend his life under the light of morning light, which was an honor, a blessing, and a shackle, but either way, he was willing to do it.
