Chapter 145: The Evil Empress (5)
After cleaning up, he and she couldn't wait to go to the council chamber to find Kyle.
Who knows, Kyle was discussing political affairs with the minister, and Zhao Jiaqi was about to turn around and leave, when he heard the people inside talking.
"Your Majesty, this time the Kas Empire has really been planning for a long time, and is ready to start invading the territory of my empire." Listening to the voice should be a military minister.
Kyle said, "Isn't Heine Campbell guarding the borders of the Cass Empire? She should be very experienced in dealing with the Kas army for so many years, and there is no need to be afraid this time. β
The minister's voice sounded very anxious: "But this time is different, it is because the Marquis of Heine has been fighting against the Cass army for many years, so they will know our marching formation well, not to mention that the Cass army has been planning for a long time this time, and has been recuperating for so many years, this time the enemy army is coming, and it should not be underestimated." β
Kyle sighed, "Isn't there any talent left in my empire besides her?" β
"Thisβpardon the minister, I'm afraid it isβ"
Zhao Jiaqi didn't listen to the next conversation, she didn't care about military affairs, the only thing she cared about was Kyle's heart.
And Twelve, on the other side of the palace, was pulled by Victoria to choose a dress for her.
"Is this one pretty? Mother. β
"It's good-looking."
"Where's this one?"
"Pretty, it flatters your complexion."
Twelve's perfunctory quickly annoyed little Victoria: "Mother, you didn't even look at it, you said it was good-looking, deceitful!" β
She looked at the little girl who pouted, and patiently coaxed: "But the mother concubine is not good at these, I really think that everything is very good-looking and suitable for you." β
The naΓ―ve Victoria turned her head and asked, "Really?" β
The twelve chicks nodded like pecks of rice, and finally coaxed the little girl to get right, and Saiya came again.
"Your Highness, the banquet is about to begin, and you are going to change your clothes." Looking at the twelve-plus light, Seya was holding a goose-yellow dress in her hand, bright and eye-catching.
Twelve shook his head: "Haven't you eaten enough of the lesson from the last time?" It would be nice to wear it simply this time. β
"Butβ" Seya felt that the imperial concubine should look like an imperial concubine, and she wore too plain clothes to attend the banquet.
But Twelve just wanted to stay out of the way for a while: "Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Why don't you go get another one? β
Under Saiya's thick eyelashes, her moist eyes were sad for a moment, but she quickly collected her emotions and said, "Yes, I will obey His Highness's orders." β
Coming to the cloakroom, Seya, who put down her dress, sighed, hid her face and cried: "Why, you trusted me so much before, why can't you give me another chance!" β
After a while, Seya came over with a smoky purple dress, and Twelve changed it to a look, low-key color, without superfluous decorations.
Very satisfied, she said to Saiya, who was bowing her head to the side, "You can stay in the dormitory and wait for us to come back." With that, he took Victoria and took Vinola and Salim to the palace banquet.
The shadow of Seya's loneliness, stretched by the candles lit by the nightfall, was long, long.
The banquet soon began, and Twelve and Victoria arrived early as "inconsequential" people and found their place and sat down.
Many people who had already arrived at the banquet site did not recognize that Twelve was the "Peerless Sword Princess" who defeated the Knights that day.
However, a few people recognized Victoria and came to greet her, and they were all politely greeted by Victoria one by one.
Looking at Victoria, who is now well-behaved, sensible, generous and decent, Twelve suddenly has a feeling that my family has a woman who has just grown up, and when he thinks that such a beautiful Victoria may marry a man he doesn't love because of marriage in the future, he suddenly felt a little distressed.
She took Victoria's hand and said, "Baby, would you be sad if you were asked to marry someone you didn't love in the future?" β
Victoria paused for holding the dessert hand, and then said to Twelve with a bright smile: "I will be sad, but I am the princess of Robert's empire, born with a luxurious life, correspondingly, I should also bear the responsibility of being a princess, if I can exchange my personal happiness for the happiness of the people, Victoria feels that it is all worth it." β
Victoria is so in the realm of putting others before herself, Twelve sighs to himself.
At this moment, solemn music sounded outside the banquet hall, and everyone in the hall stood up and looked at the door of the banquet hall.
I saw Emperor Kyle and Empress Zhao Jiaqi, who attended in full costume, come to the scene.
As soon as the queen appeared, she attracted everyone's attention, not only because of her special black hair and black eyes, but also because she was dressed in a golden dress and looked like a walking little golden man.
Zhao Jiaqi is very satisfied with the attention of the crowd to him.
Kyle held out a hand and said, "Thank you all for joining us, and I hope you all have a great time!" The chamberlain on the side brought out the red wine that had been prepared long ago and waited on the side.
The Emperor and Empress each took a glass of red wine, raised their glasses and said, "Long live the Robert Empire!" β
"Long live the Robert Empire!"
Most of the people who came to the banquet this time were soldiers fighting on the front line, and it was the first time to see the queen, although they were also very unfamiliar with the princess Twelve, but on the way back, they heard about Twelve's heroic achievements and the nickname of "Peerless Sword Queen", and automatically equated the image of Twelve with the image of a brave and warlike female knight.
After toasting, Kyle took Zhao Jiaqi to sit down and sat beside Twelve impartially.
Compared to the two, Twelve looks more like a hibiscus out of the water, and the handsome young officers keep looking at her, as if they are Kyle's daughter.
Kyle and Zhao Jiaqi's faces are not very good-looking.
The former is because his concubine is remembered by others, and the latter is because he is dressed up but still not as eye-catching as Twelve.
A hot-blooded officer came to the emperor with a wine glass and said, "Your Majesty, I offer you my most sincere wishes!" β
Kyle drank the red wine in his glass without knowing his taste, "I remember, you are the youngest son of the Vettels family?" β
The hot-blooded officer made a military salute and said, "Yes, it is the honor of the Wittels family to serve Your Majesty. β
Kyle nodded with satisfaction: "Your father is also my brave general, the tiger father has no dogs, behave well, the Vettels family will rely on you." β
The hot-blooded officer scratched his head, blushed and said, "Your Majesty, I can't hide it, my mother has been urging me to get married for a long time, I-" Suddenly, the officer seemed to have exhausted all his strength and courage and said in a breath, "I want to know this beautiful girl beside Your Majesty!" β
Kyle's face turned pale.
The girl next to him naturally will not be the queen, Zhao Jiaqi came in with him, everyone can see it, let alone Victoria, how old is she, the children are about the same, how can she be called a girl.
