722 The Empress's Heart and Sardar's Troubles
The hurricane had dissipated, and the back hill fort in Earldom of Hansen was reduced to a pile of rubble. It was this pile of rubble that ushered in the most honorable person in the main plane, after all, for a part of her, everything in the mortal world was like a cloud.
Twenty slender floating ships hovered high in the sky, ten floating ships of the same type landed in a cluster with a golden six-winged archangel statue at the bow, and dozens of flying ships shuttled and circled, covering the entire fleet.
Theresia's floating fleet should have been deployed in the western part of the Redstone Kingdom or Norton in advance to come so quickly.
In the ruins, Qili's face became gloomy a little.
Directly opposite her, the Queen's chamberlain, Kevin, read out a clause that represented the Queen's wishes, and this fleet was Tresia's determination to turn her wishes into reality.
"The independence and integrity of the kingdom of Kxter are inviolable, and in view of the perverse actions of Belino and the great calamities caused to the people of all sides, the neighboring countries and forces can claim corresponding compensation, but they must not make territorial claims, and they have no right to interfere with the succession of the king of Kxter......"
Theresia's request can be summed up in the ...... Everything was restored to its original state, and the Republican and the Holy Will Empire were not allowed to encroach on an inch of land in the Kingdom of Kisther. It is up to the Empress to decide who succeeds the kingdom of Kist, and you Richie and Romrose stand aside.
Of course, Her Majesty the Empress was also generous, and in exchange, the Dawning Empire would recognize the Holy Will Empire's ownership of the Silver Pine Kingdom, and allow Fei Gong to relocate the population from Kester, up to a maximum of one million.
After Kevin finished reading the terms, Theresia added that she had sat out of the god's seat in the ordinary dining chair, "If you agree to these terms, I will recognize your autonomy over the Godfall Plateau. Godfall Plateau can be an independent dominion, with only nominal allegiance to the Dawning Empire. β
In a slightly mocking tone, she said: "It is not uncommon for mortals not to recognize royal power and nobility, and not to accept the rule of kings. This was the case with the Sivenhall city-states in the north. It's nothing more than one more Shivin Hall, and I can accept it. β
Xiaohong didn't have the patience to get involved in this kind of political negotiation, so she had already left, and Qili suppressed her anger and smiled at Theresia: "I have another suggestion here......
Qili took out the Fei Gong's plan, which was actually the conservative plan before. Romros was divided between the north and west, the Fays were divided between the south and the east, and the kingdom of Koster retained the lower half of the territory. The only change is that this kingdom will become part of the Dawning Empire.
In the end, Qili said: "If Your Majesty needs it, there is no need to keep this kingdom, just rule directly as the governorate of the empire." β
"Your Highness Qili, don't be too rude!"
Kevin said angrily: "How can you talk so justifiably about dividing up and occupying a kingdom!? The sanctity and glory of royal power cannot be desecrated!"
Qi Li smiled and said: "Kevin, for you, the imperial power should be sacred, what is the royal power? Besides, since it is a negotiation, of course, it is a sky-high price, and the money is repaid on the ground." β
Kevin's face turned blue: "How is this ......?"
Theresia waved her hand to stop him, "Okay, you stand down first, I'll talk to Kiri alone." β
Kevin left angrily, and in the ruins of what was originally the castle hall, only the most noble empress and the most beautiful elves remained.
Cheyenne, Sajani, Tina, and White Rat were on one side of the ruins, and Kevin and the Empress's attendants were on the other. The two sides were facing each other from a distance, and their eyes were focused on the two of them.
"Qili, although we have known each other for a short time and have been together for a short time, I am very ...... I like you", said Theresia, "I have not forgotten what you said and did in Valentinsiburg, and the Dawning Empire has your share. If you have nothing to do with the Crimson Lady, the position of Prime Minister of the Empire or even more important will be yours. β
She smiled and said, "Of course, this kind of thing may be an insult to you, after all, it's just a mortal thing, and it's not worth mentioning, so ......"
The Empress said in a tone of pleading, "Don't affect our friendship for this little thing, okay? β
This is reasonable, if the matter is limited to the Fei Gong and the Dawning Empire, of course Qili will consider it seriously, and the result of consideration will be to accept the empress's plan on the premise of adding some additional conditions.
But this is not limited to the Fei Republic and the Dawn Empire, but also the Divine Will Empire.
Kiri pulled Romrose out: "Even if we agree, there will be people who won't." We have an agreement with Romrose, and I think we should call him over to discuss it together, and His Majesty can also discuss the matter with him. β
The empress sighed lowly, "Can't we reach a tacit understanding between us first?" I thought that you, and Li Qi, should be more biased towards me, after all, I ...... My sister is still on Richie's side. From the Alliance of Loyalty to the Alliance of Order, and then to the Dawning Empire, you and Li Qi have also followed me all the way. β
"I had a disagreement with Litchie on some issues that led you to Romrose, and I believe this is not your final choice. Behind Romrose is the god of tyranny, and even more terrible and evil forces. I'm not sure he'll be the next Bellino, but the possibility of that is there, and it's becoming more and more apparent. β
"You should also know that the world has changed and the camp has expanded. At the level of the gods, the god of tyranny is my great enemy. On a mortal level, Romrose would also be my enemy. β
The Empress smiled faintly, the confidence that the whole world would be ruled by her: "I can tolerate a certain degree of cooperation between you and Romrose, but I cannot tolerate you becoming close allies with Romrose. β
"Indeed, it is the imperial power that is sacred, not the royal power, and I don't care if the kingdom of Kist is complete or not, whether it can be continued. β
"In order to avoid the future I have to see you and Romulus as one, so I put forward this condition. I sincerely hope we don't get to that point, and I don't want to swing a sword at Catherine. β
The empress's words are really heartfelt, and Qi Li is secretly glad that if she is standing here as Li Qi, the empress will inevitably add some weight related to private affairs, and Li Qi may really be difficult to refuse at that time.
How to deal with the relationship between Theresia and Romulos has always been the core issue of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Filipinos, which has been discussed at every Central Committee meeting, and the relevant understanding and conclusions have been very clear.
Theresia's Dawning Empire has initially fulfilled the tasks of the religious revolution and is undergoing the development of centralized power. Unlike the history of the earth world, the stages equivalent to the agricultural revolution, the Renaissance, and the industrial revolution are also advancing simultaneously, and the magic industry with magicians as the core is developing rapidly.
At this stage, the feudal ruling class, represented by Theresia, was still very close to this nascent interest group. Theresia's great efforts to promote the construction of the Transcendental Accelerated School are a clear portrayal of the unity of interests of both parties. Theresia needed this interest group to provide the necessary supplies and personnel for her to rule the empire and further world domination by developing the magic industry.
But Theresia didn't realize that when this interest group grew further, it would lead to the growth of the Temple of Commerce, which would permeate all aspects of the empire, connecting the empire more closely, and at the same time, another order would gradually take shape.
It was an order that was absolutely contrary to her beliefs, constantly changing, and would erode people's hearts. Such an order would inevitably collide violently with the centralized system of the empire, which had not long since the condensation of the empire, and the bourgeois revolution was being born.
Theresia was actually wary, but she couldn't understand and didn't want to accept the fact that she didn't want to. For her and the Dawning Empire, the goddess of commerce is far more of a threat than the god of tyranny, who would even be her close ally.
Before Theresia allowed the Dawning Empire to climb to the pinnacle of the centralized system, she would still be the spokesperson of justice and sanctity in the main plane, but if she wanted to go all the way to the dark, when she climbed to the top, she would take a path that went against the tide and eventually became a reactionary step by step.
To put it simply, Theresia and the Dawning Empire will be reduced to backward, evil reactionaries in the near future, how can the Fei Gong tie himself to this ship that is destined to enter the water and be silent?
At every meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Filipinos, the latest analysis and discussion of the development of the imperial magic bourgeoisie will be made according to the various conditions in the Dawning Empire. At the last meeting, it was concluded that the implementation of the Transcendental Accelerated School policy would bring forward the outbreak of the next revolution from the previous estimate of 20 years to 10 years.
As for Romulus, there is no doubt that the god of tyranny is behind this, and the doubt is who the current god of tyranny is. After all, the previous god of tyranny, Ben En, was sealed, and it stands to reason that he should have fallen, and the current god of tyranny has never revealed his identity.
There is a speculation, but this speculation is too sensational, and there are many details that are difficult to explain. The person most closely associated with this speculation also firmly denied it, so it was just a guess.
It's not for nothing that Theresia refers to Romulus as evil, and most people think so. However, in the view of the Fei Gong, there is an essential difference between Romulus, which is influenced by the god of tyranny, and Belino, who is influenced by the god of cruelty, and the latter is to use mortals as a resource for the service of the gods.
Compared with the backward and conservative kingdoms and principalities of West Fein, the Divine Will Empire, which developed with a centralized system from the beginning, was undoubtedly advanced. For the pampered aristocracy and wealthy freemen, the rule of Romeros was undoubtedly quite painful, but for the lowest level of the common people, the space for survival and development was greatly improved.
It is still difficult to judge what path the Romross side will lead to in the future, but judging from the current development momentum, as long as there is no drastic change in the ruling policy, it is clear that the Divine Will Empire will live longer than the Dawning Empire.
Perhaps eventually Romerus will degenerate and become a puppet of the god of tyranny like Belino, using the entire empire as a god in pursuit of eternal firewood. But now Romroth's soul is still free, his will is still sober, and the empire is still advanced.
It is the fundamental policy of the CPF to always stand with the advanced forces of the world and promote the continuous progress of the world.
Therefore, the heart that Teresia took out, Qili could not respond with the same sincerity.
"Your Majesty......"
Kiri looked at Theresia with regret and even sadness: "After Li Qi returned from Benunin, he seemed very happy, saying that you promised him to re-examine the world and make changes accordingly. If he were the one facing you now, he would be very disappointed. In his opinion, the result of your re-examination is that you are more wary and suspicious of us. β
Speaking of Richie and Benunin, Theresia's gaze was a little evasive, and her tone became light: "I thought he should understand that private emotions have nothing to do with these things. And where am I wary and suspicious, this is just to keep you away from the whirlpool, this is for your good. β
Qili said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty's conditions are acceptable to us, but only if Romrose is allowed to join the talks. Regarding the matter of Koster, we cannot reach an agreement with the other side without informing Romross and seeking his understanding. β
The smile on Theresia's face disappeared little by little, and Qili sighed helplessly: "Who made His Majesty acquiesce to Kerst before is our matter of the Fee." β
Because of these words, Theresia's expression didn't become too ugly in the end, and she sighed helplessly: "So, you don't even want to be nominally loyal to the empire?"
Qi Li retorted: "As long as Your Majesty announces the liberation of all slaves, prohibits the slave trade, and allows Lady Crimson to preach freely, we will swear allegiance to Your Majesty and the Empire!"
Theresia rolled her eyes, this was a very unfigurative move for the Empress, and Kiri could sense the churning water in the Empress's stomach: What is the difference between your demands and Hestor beating her with a Tekush Trojan?
The Empress asked again, "Since you are so insistent, I believe that Romrose is not far from here, right?"
Kiri nodded, and she informed Romrose when she got the news.
The Fergus has a relevant agreement with Romros, and out of the need for a game of chess in the internal work of Kist, Romross does not participate in the internal work of Kest, even if there are nobles who want to surrender, Romross will transfer it to the Fergus.
However, with the presence of Hestor and Belino, and Theresia may also intervene, Romeros cannot be allowed to stay out of the matter, at least as a bargaining chip for the Phillips to fight for Caster's rights...... Well, to put it bluntly, it's a backer.
However, Romroth is not familiar with the terrain of Koster, and the people are still far away in the imperial capital, so it will take some time to rush over, and they should still be on the road now.
"It's okay, just when he comes to discuss the matter of Erxiang, I'll wait for him, you tell him to hurry up", Theresia joked: "It doesn't matter if the empress waits for him, if the goddess waits for him, she will make him his tail." β
Qili sighed secretly, at this moment, Theresia had closed her heart.
After the two discussed, they walked out of the ruins together, and the empress's attendants knelt down on one knee, and Fei Gong just bowed his head and stroked his chest. A pair of girls knelt in the middle, which was extremely eye-catching.
"Princess Reloel......
The empress recognized it and beckoned, "Come, come with me to rest." β
Hansen shrank to the side and stared nervously at Qili, who didn't react.
Fei Gong didn't think about controlling the princess, and it didn't matter where the princess stayed until the three parties negotiated.
Reloel's cheeks flushed with excitement, and she followed the maid to the Empress.
After taking a few steps, she stopped abruptly, turned around and beckoned, "Sardar!
Sardar was stunned, and Reloll called, "Didn't you promise to be my knight, shouldn't you follow me?"
Qili looked at Sardar and remembered the message sent back by Cheyenne and Insi, this guy not only woke up, but also walked through the wells of humanoid divine powers.
It doesn't look like it now, it's still a silly, 24K natural stupid look.
In Richie's absence, Sardar was not familiar with Kiri, so he looked around blankly, and finally looked at Tina and Insi.
The two witches looked at Qi Li at the same time, and Qi Li thought about it, and thought that it would be good for Fei Gong to stay by Renol's side alone.
She nodded to Sardar and said, "Go, this is your new mission, to serve as Princess Relor's guard for the time being." β
Sardar walked out of the crowd, and Reloll said dissatisfiedly: "It's not a temporary guard, it's a knight." β
With Her Royal Highness behind her, the princess was very angry, and she said to Sardar: "Now I will make you a knight, come up and swear to me." β
Doubts and confusion churned in Sardar's heart, and he shook his head and said, "Your Royal Highness, I am the young master's knight, and I can't swear a knightly oath to other people until he dissolves my identity." β
Reloel's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Sardarββ!?"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Princess", Sardar's attitude was resolute at this time.
Ryrol burst into tears and ran away covering her face, and Sardar shook his head and sighed, turning to leave, when a cold low cry rang out.
"Wait!"
It was the Empress, and she frowned at Sadar: "You...... Is it a knight?"
Sardar nodded stunned, and the empress's face became gloomy: "You are lying!
