On May 24, 1029 in the year of the Steam calendar, with the arrival of diplomats from Saint Sauk and West at the northern border, they met with the Pratt & Whitney Mission. Peace talks began.

It's just that the victorious side is dominated by St. Sauce, and West's people are just a foil on the sidelines. Therefore, it is difficult for the two sides to reach consensus on some crucial issues, so that there is no substantive progress in the peace talks within four days.

However, with Binghe's arrival in the north on the 28th, there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

In the command compartment of the armored train, Binghe sat in front of a white cloth table, turning through the negotiation reports of the past few days, and the four negotiators of his own side in front of Binghe were standing honestly.

Of the four negotiators, only one was a Wester, the Knight of Elliot. The other three were from St. Sauk, and the three nobles of St. Sauk were also familiar with Binghe, and two of them discussed the distribution of benefits in the gas truck transportation industry with Binghe when he was young. As for the other one, it's the Imperial Garden, two and a half years ago, Binghe talked to him at the hunting party of the Imperial Garden.

But today, the status is different, and several people dare not have any presumptuousness in front of Binghe.

Binghe put the negotiation report of the past few days in a review, raised his head to look at these people, sighed and said, "I have a general understanding of the situation." Speaking of which, Binghe first glanced at the Imperial Garden, and then at Elliot.

Binghe said in a conclusive tone, "Now we must hurry up and facilitate the return of Her Majesty Veryanne. As for the rest, you can talk to them slowly. ”

Hearing Binghe's words, the old and tired Elliot's face suddenly relaxed. The other three Saint Sauk's courtiers were stunned, looking at this young half-grown child, they wanted to open their mouths to persuade, but they were afraid of Binghe's great martial arts, and they didn't dare to say anything for a while.

The situation has developed to this point that Pratt & Whitney has already made Pratt & Whitney admit it.

Due to military defeat and diplomatic isolation, the Verian they now control has become a hot potato, and they now have plans to arrange a return trip for the "traveling Veryanne".

However, they didn't dare to send Verian back now, because the two high-ranking professionals of Pratt & Whitney were still in the hands of the coalition, and the Prussians were anxious about how to ransom Loren and Horton.

Pratt & Whitney people are in a hurry, and the Westers are also in a hurry. Knights Elliot have been struggling these days.

And the only one who is not in a hurry is the people of St. Sauc. It's just that on the side of the coalition forces, the Westers can't call the shots. The coalition is led by Saint Sauc, and Saint Saur wants to knock Pratt & Whitney right now, and at the same time take a good handle of West and open his mouth at the negotiating table.

The conditions put forward by the Imperial Garden to the people of Pratt and Whitney were almost a copy of the Treaty of Xincho, demanding reparations, apologies, and the demolition of a series of fortresses in the south.

Binghe looked at this condition, basically he would only sign it if he was clear, and Pratt & Whitney now has a complete set of military production and mobilization systems, and it is absolutely impossible to agree to such harsh terms.

And after this negotiating condition drags on, starting with the crack between West and Pratt & Whitney, clear political boundaries will be drawn between the countries of the entire continent.

On one side is the military alliance with St. Sauc as the core. On the other hand, Pratt & Whitney will also strengthen his alliance with the Oka people after feeling the pressure.

When the two major military alliances that target each other are formed, then the Western Continent will not be far from a super war.

Once this kind of super-war starts, each country will be kidnapped by its own camp. Because once they break away from their own camp, they will be completely crushed and swallowed up by the enemy alliance, and the countries in each alliance are afraid of falling into this fate, so the whirlpool of war will endlessly drag all the participating countries into it until they die of exhaustion.

It is dangerous to face a super war with the power of St. Sauc, and most of S. Sauce, including the Emperor, do not know about it, and only indulge in today's victory.

"Pratt & Whitney must not be forced to form an axis on the side of Okka, and while winning, short-term interests cannot be squeezed unscrupulously, and the victor has the responsibility to formulate the international order." Binghe reminded himself worriedly.

In the train car, Binghe stood up and looked at the four of his negotiators, and announced, "Tell them tomorrow, on the 29th, we will release Bloodspring Horton first." I want to see Veryanne return, and then if they're sincere, then they can choose to talk to me directly. I don't have much time, let them hurry. ”

Yuyuan was stunned, looked at Binghe and was stunned, and then said, "Your Majesty, this? I mean, the Pratt & Whitneys are cunning. ”

Elliot on the side looked up at Binghe, for fear that Binghe would change his mind. In the eyes of this knight, now that the negotiations can move forward, Binghe is the only light.

And Binghe snorted coldly: "Cunning? What a advantage cunning can take! ”

[Fourteen hours later, Horton, a blood fountain released by the coalition forces, disembarks at the train station on the border between West and Pratt & Whitney. 】

The six knights and eight sighters, who had been waiting here for eleven hours, immediately stepped forward to salute when they saw their lord, and then surrounded him.

The high-ranking knight Olivia walked to the side of the Blood Fountain Horton: "My lord, it's great that you're back!" ”

Bloodspring Horton: "Has Her Majesty Verria returned to West?" ”

Olivia said, "In the Purple Orchid Castle, the Federation is entertaining as a state guest. ”

Bloodspring Horton stopped, paused and said, "Find a hotel to stay in the vicinity, and give me the current negotiation materials of the Federal Foreign Affairs Department." ”

The female knight paused and looked at Bloodspring Horton hesitantly: "My lord, you are not responsible for this negotiation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You've had a hard time. ”

Bloodspring Horton angrily rebuked: "Let you go, just go!" ”

The female knight was stunned, then immediately bowed her head and respectfully retreated, came to six meters away, and ordered her to wait for her subordinates, and quickly notify the foreign affairs department of Pratt & Whitney.

Only half an hour later, the knight of the Stronghold family, who was in charge of the negotiations, arrived and knelt down on one knee to salute Bloodspring Horton, who, after instructing the knight, took out the letter from Stronghold Loren.

When Binghe talked to these two high-level professionals in the sea crab harbor, he vaguely talked about the possibility of future cooperation. Pratt & Whitney does have the need to cooperate with many parties. Instead of tying their strategic interests to the chariot of the Oka people.

There is no unbreakable covenant in the world, and three hundred years ago, Oka used technical support to keep Pratt & Whitney firmly following the strategy of the Oka people. And now the Oka people can no longer tie up the Pratt & Whitneys.

During their "visit" to Crab Harbor, the two high-ranking professionals were intrigued by the industrial model of Crab Harbor, and after learning of the results of the submarine ambush, they were determined that many cities south of West would prosper.

Jianjia Loren and Bloodspring Horton believe that the Mediterranean pattern of the western continent has changed, and Pratt & Whitney should avoid meddling in the confrontation of major powers in the Mediterranean region in the future and focus on expanding to the east.

Compared to St. Sauk's unsettling and West's vacillation, Bloodspring Horton believes more in Bingnu's political credibility and ability.

This authority repeatedly stressed to Pratt & Whitney's domestic telegram that the fortress of the Gun Flame Family is pragmatic and principled, do not waste time, and hurry up to achieve the relevant results while the Bing Core is still there.

[On June 1st, in the solemn white horse procession, Willy, who had been away from West for nearly a month, returned in a carriage that was more luxurious than when she went. 】

Havina, dressed as a maid, stood behind Veryanne with her hands tied. A month ago, she was afraid that she would become the target of her anger, and she racked her brains from the beginning, but the whole plan went bankrupt from beginning to end, and she was unharmed.

Because after May 11th, the battle scene turned upside down. Verian didn't feel the need to take revenge on Havina to show the Jianjia family's face. The face and lining of the Jianjia family have been wiped out by their own little man in the south.

And Verian directly instructed Havina, the titular princess of the Jianjia family, to be her maid, which was a better revenge for Havina. So, this woman.

[The carriage returns to the manor outside the Emerald Wall, and when Verian learns that Binghe is still in the north and wants to see her in the evening, she is busy like a holiday.] 】

In the dressing room, Verian said in an instructive tone, "Havina, bring me the third pair of shoes in the wardrobe." ”

Havina honestly took her shoes, and Verian lifted her jade feet from her long white dress, and Havina crouched down and lowered her head to put on Veryanne's shoes.

However, when she lifted Veryanne's other calf.

And Verion's calf suddenly lifted, and the toe was against Havina's chin, and the toe was slightly curved to make Havina tilt her head.

Havina looked at Verian aggrievedly, but she didn't dare to lift her chin away from Veryanne's toes. A few days ago, Havina disobeyed once, and was physically punished by Verian in the way of a lady, and now there are red marks left by the teaching stick on her buttocks.

Verian brushed her hair back with one hand, looked at herself in the mirror with a smile, and asked Havina in a casual tone, "How attractive am I today?" Uh, you still look young, right? ”

Havina said softly: "Your Majesty, you are beautiful and youthful. ”

Verian turned her head and looked at Havina coldly, and Havina's eyes suddenly panicked.

Veryanne's toes lifted Havina's head higher, coldly: "Are you perfunctory to me? ”

Havina, who was only eighteen years old, couldn't help but have hot eyes when she saw this woman ten years older than herself making things so difficult for her.

Havina cried in her heart: "You, this is revenge, you are all bad people, I want to go home." I don't want to be out there anymore!"

Tears slid down Havina's smooth cheeks and onto Veryanne's instep.

Verian let go of her foot, and Havina's head could be lowered, but before Havina's subsequent grievances turned into tears, Verian stared at the droplets on her instep coldly, and coldly threw down a sentence: "Lick it clean!" ”

Havina shook her body in fear under Verian's commanding tone, and quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, picked up Verian's feet, and lowered her head.

After putting on her shoes, Verian stood up and spun around in front of the mirror, admiring herself, and instructed Havina, "Change into the dress you wore on May 5th." ”

Havina stiffened, ten days ago she realized that she was going to accompany Verian back, she thought carefully for two days, and chose a special dress that could be a good foil to Veryanne, and at the same time ensure her princess temperament.

However, Velianne asked her to wear the men's clothes. - This is to humiliate, humiliate Havina's men's stand-in behavior a month ago, and humiliate Pojohn who used his cousin as a stand-in.

And now, hearing Verian's order, Havina showed a pleading look at Verian, if it was a man, under this gaze, he would have surrendered a long time ago. But in the face of an equally beautiful but older woman, this trick of a young girl is useless.

Verian looked at Havina who hesitated. Sneered: "What, don't you want to wear it?" Then don't wear anything! ”

Havina shuddered for a moment and said, "Well, I'm sorry, I, I'll change it right away." She grabbed the corners of her skirt with both hands and ran quickly back to her room.

[A few hours later, Emerald Wall Castle. 】

This is the castle where Verian attended her engagement ceremony a month ago, and now it is the place where the two sides negotiate.

Today, the castle is in the hands of the Coalition forces. Coalition airships floated in the sky within a radius of sixty kilometers around the castle. Now Pratt & Whitney wants to repeat the sneak attack of a month ago, it is absolutely impossible.

Coalition negotiators and Pratt & Whitney negotiators sit on either side. The negotiators on both sides were Bloodspring Horton and Gunflame Binghe, as well as the huge support group behind them.

When the coalition side confirmed that Veryanne would return, the two sides engaged in a new round of negotiations. During the negotiations, Binghe announced that he would be sent back to Jianjia in two days. Loren. Binghe quickly finalized the plan without any strings attached, and the Pratt & Whitney negotiators were overjoyed. Miyuan suddenly opened his mouth to say something. But there was nothing to say.

However, in the remaining captive negotiations, the Pratt & Whitneys side was furious about how to release them.

Binghe raised a finger: "A knight and a copper plate." A copper plate, Pratt & Whitney can't buy it and suffer; A copper plate, Pratt & Whitney can't be fooled. One hand to sign the contract, one hand to deliver. ”

Horton, who was sitting at the negotiating table, looked at Binghe with a mischievous face and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty, you are really joking." ”

Gunflame Binghe stood up and thrust his waist and said, "I'm not kidding. ”

Horton looked at a serious Bingnu and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I understand, you are not worried about our Cigna, right?" How about the ransom for me and Loren, 10 million silver coins each? Can you talk about it? ”

Gun Yan Binghe smiled and said: "Actually, between friends, talking about ransom or something, how hurtful it is." I mean, either there's no ransom or just a copper plate. ”

"Hehehe, hahaha," said Horton, laughing heartily and patting his leg, "Your Majesty, if you have any ideas, just say it!" The Bloodspring family is honored to have your friendship. ”

Binghe: "Okay, as a friend, you're welcome, I recently have a plan, I want to find your cooperation, of course, this cooperation requires you to contribute a little money." ”

Binghe pulled out the leather sleeve from behind, spread out West's map, and took the red pen on the map, on which the train route from Pratt & Whitney all the way to Honduburg and then all the way south to Sea Crab Harbor.

After throwing the pen aside, Binghe said: "This railway will cost about 50 million imperial lira, and if you are willing to invest, I will give you a controlling stake of 30 percent." ”

Binghe shoved the map in front of Bloodspring Horton, and the Pratt & Whitney negotiators looked at each other before bowing their heads and whispering.

And Elliot did not speak next to him. As a victorious country, its right of way is divided among the powers, which is a very humiliating thing if it is a nation-state. For this kind of aristocratic state, the only basis is the interests of the aristocracy, and if the railway can bring benefits to the nobles along the way, the construction of the railway can be recognized.

The negotiations have taken a new direction, and economic ties on the western continent will tie multiple countries together, reducing the likelihood of future war.

[The clock turned, and after the meeting achieved a phased victory, Binghe came to the residence of His Majesty Willy. 】

Binghe has held a series of work reports since this month. However, standing at the door of the gilded wooden door, with a hesitant face, Binghe held the information in his arms and paced around the door twice.

When he arrived at the door, he didn't know what attitude to use to face the opposite sex who was twelve years older than him.

"Is it the monarch? No, it's not appropriate. Is it my sister? Well, this? Could it be lovers. Binghe blushed and his heart raced. Squatting in the doorway to cover his face, trying to calm himself, then cleared his throat and was about to knock when the door inside opened.

When the door opened, Verian was sitting at the table in full costume, apparently waiting for Binghe to push the door in.

And beside her, Havina, who was dressed in men's clothes, stood aside, but the king elector two years ago was stunned when he saw Binghe, and he couldn't take his eyes off.

Although the sixteen-year-old Binghe is still young, it is completely different from the childish appearance of two years ago.

The upright posture, as well as the resolute temperament brought by the decision on the military affairs in the past month, made Havina bite her lip, and after glancing at Binghe, she turned her eyes in shame, but she couldn't help but look at Binghe with her afterglow. And she felt that the men's clothes on her body were twisted at this time, and her proud posture was covered clean at the moment.

Soon, however, it seemed that Verian had done it on purpose, and the crown, dressed in a luxurious and beautiful long dress, stood up gracefully, turning Havina into an inconspicuous frame in an instant.

Binghe looked at Verian Yingying and smiled, walked towards him, breathed a screen, and habitually wanted to go backwards, but after a pause, Binghe restrained his subconscious avoidance. As I saw for the first time two years ago, I still bowed to Verian with the etiquette of that time.

Binghe: "Your Majesty, the promise made two years ago, I will come today as promised, and the southern sea frontier of West will be opened for you, and I will come to restore my life today." ”

Binghe straightened up and handed the information to Vilian who walked over with both hands.

And Verian looked at Binghe with both eyes, and did not look at the information in Binghe's hand at all, took the information with one hand, and then threw it on the sofa casually.

Binghe looked at the information that was thrown aside: "Hey! What is that? ”

However, Verion's hands were on Binghe's shoulders, and Vilian, who was wearing high heels today, was slightly half a head taller than Binghe, and her hands touched the back of Binghe's neck. Then reach into the back of the collar of the core.

Binghe looked at Veryanne, who was close at hand, and the eyes that were still smiling but seemed to want to contain everything.

Binghe's face flushed, and he said in a prompting tone: "Your Majesty? ”

Veryanne: "I'm listening. ”

Binghe: "It's too close. ”

Vilian blew into Binghe's face: "After a month away, don't you think you should be closer?" ”

Binghe looked behind Verian, and the gaze of Havina in men's clothes made Binghe feel prickly.

Havina, who was standing behind at this time, now had her fingers in a mess, and if jealousy could burn, Havina would have been incinerated.

The fairy tale of the prince holding a sword and fighting thousands of troops and horses to save the princess is the dream of many young girls. When Havina was ten years old, she lost this dream and began to dream of a more practical love, but now!

Well, Verian glanced back at Binghe's gaze, and Havina lowered her head tremblingly, curbing her unwilling emotions, gritting her teeth, and clasping her hands tremblingly with each other.

Verian turned her head to look at Binghe, and said with a smile: "A dishonest maid, of course, there is some use, after a while, let her clean up the room." ”

Faced with such obvious meaning, Binghe paused, so he mustered up his courage, and immediately stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Veryanne's thin waist and hugged him.

"Ah" Verian exclaimed, Binghe's sudden bold action made Verian, who had always been accustomed to taking the initiative, a little surprised, and her body leaned forward abruptly, leaning on Binghe's body. - Of course, this also made Havina on the side can't help but raise her head.

However, clinging to the front of Binghe, he felt the vigor of Binghe, and Verian's face was as sweet as honey. His hands wrapped around his back like snakes, just as Verian felt ready to meet the wood and the flames.

At this time, Verian saw Binghe's very ceremonial expression.

Binghe took a deep breath and said slowly and solemnly: "Gangluan. Lady Veryanne, I want to marry the most beautiful lady in this room, but I don't know if that lady wants to do it now. ”

Binghe's gaze was very clear on Veryanne, waiting for her answer.

And Verian was like a thunderbolt, stiff, and her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief. I wanted to blurt out an answer with joy, but I thought about something, and I struggled to restrain it.

Originally, I only wanted to be greedy for a while, I originally only wanted to end the hazy feelings, and I only expected a few sweet coaxes. But where do you want to get the promise of gold and stone.

If Binghe had asked Vilian like that two years ago, Vilian would have laughed and shook her head.

Because the marriage between a mechanical controller and a bastion of a superior profession is not suitable, the relationship between the two parties can only last as lovers. In fact, a year ago, Verian only regarded Binghe as a lover, all kinds of pampering training, and gave him the power to do things. That's all, of course, a cute plaything. The promise that Binghe can give today can't be given by Verian two years ago.

Now Binghe has not only proven itself to be a fortress, but also made a name for himself in the last month's war. The status of the two sides has changed in deficit, and Verian can't believe it, and today Binghe is willing to officially marry.

Verian looked at the big boy holding her arms stupidly, and asked in a blur like a dream, "You, willing, marry me?" ”

Binghe nodded.

Verian suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't you think I'm old?" She grabbed Binghe's strength and unconsciously weighed a point, obviously caring about Binghe's answer

Binghe still shook his head.

Vilian buried her head in Binghe's chest, grabbed Binghe's shoulders with trembling hands, and whispered, "Are you capturing me?" You glamorous bait. ”

Binghe grabbed Vilian's hand that was trying to go down, held it tightly, and said with a serious and questioning attitude, "Can I get the answer now?" ”

Veryanne's body stiffened for a moment, and then said tactfully, "Don't be in such a hurry yet, okay?" Shouldn't the warrior after the dragon slayer need the princess's appeasement? Verian smiled lightly as she tickled at Binghe's neck.

However, Binghe slowly raised his hand and placed it in the center of the two, making Veryanne's cheek a little farther away.

Binghe said seriously: "Gangluan. Veryanne, you should trust me, I can overcome the odds. ”

Verian looked at the serious Binghe and couldn't help but fall into the memory, in the past two years, countless times she has seen Binghe do things with such a serious attitude. And with such an expression, Vilian never gets tired of seeing it.

However, the reality makes Verian have to extricate herself in sweet love, she has a family, and she has carried out the responsibilities and beliefs of the lord since she was a child, and when she chooses, she is not allowed to escape some things.

Touched, Verian tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "I believe in you, but I don't have the courage. (sniffing) I, I'm the fortress of the Gangluan family. ”

looked at Veryanne, who was smiling, but her tone was gradually choking.

Binghe understood everything, and now Verian no longer dared to be with him. When Binghe fought a battle for West on behalf of St. Sauce, when the troops of St. Sauc landed in West, when the nobles of all sizes in the territory of West now took the lead in Sea Crab Harbor.

In West, the prestige within the Gangluan family has been reduced to the bottom. Binghe's prestige in West is too heavy now, and the Gangluan family married the female fortress to Binghe, forming a marriage of refuge. Then the native nobles of West, who had seen the change of mind, would immediately fall to St. Sauce. The Gangluan family could no longer command the nobles in their territory, and St. Sauk was equivalent to a substantial annexation of West.

Therefore, Verian stands on the position of the family, and now she must not marry outside, but can only be Bingnu's lover and maintain the independence of the West's political group.

In a warm and cold atmosphere.

Under Binghe's last inquiring gaze, Verian finally shook her head with difficulty.

After confirming the answer, Binghe slowly let go of the hand that grabbed Verian, stepped aside, bowed and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble." We have enjoyed working together and look forward to continuing in the future. I will respect you, thank you, and never forget your kindness to the first help. ”

After finishing speaking, Binghe didn't dare to look up at Verian, because when he looked up, he would see Veryanne's lost soul in hesitation and helplessness, and he didn't look back after turning around, because when he turned around, he would see the sadness that Verian wanted to keep but couldn't reach out.

After the door was slowly closed, Havina on the side had mixed feelings, and at the same time looked at the dead and silent Verian, worried that she would soon become a gas bag.

However, after a long time, Verian just waved her hand at her casually, told her to step down, and then walked to the room alone, the door slammed shut, and after a few seconds, the sound of sobbing could be heard from behind the door.

Outside the hall, under the blowing of the summer breeze, Binghe slowly looked back at the small building behind him, and muttered: "I can promise to grow old with you, but I must not play with you." Because it is against morality, I will fight as promised, but I will not be a teacher because of beauty. ”

Slowly turn around and walk away resolutely.
