What are you talking about? Minna was amused, "It's not impossible for me to be your subordinate anymore."

Jada's attitude was very serious: "I'm not asking you to go back to Noga to be my subordinate, I mean... It's like a partner, and you can go back with me as an equal friend, can't you? ”

"Equal friends? You don't have a fever, do you? Could it be that the poison has attacked? Minna stopped stirring and reached out to touch Jada's forehead, but he stopped her: "Minna is very sober now, I need you, you go back with me"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Minna also became serious: "How is this possible? You are going to be king in the future, can you really tolerate the existence of a so-called equal friend? I'm doing well in East, and I don't have to go on a mission, so why should I go back with you? Besides, my dad is now Lord Merton, and it's only a mountain away from Noga, isn't my dad's situation awkward if I do go? You want the king to be suspicious of my father?! ”

She glared at him, turned her head to look at the fire, and ignored him again Jada pondered for a moment before saying, "As long as your king doesn't know, it's actually very convenient to go from Medon to Normonca..."

"Don't you understand me?!" Minna was a little angry, "I said I couldn't do this, because my dad was guarding the border between the two countries, and I quietly ran to your side, who would believe that our family didn't collude with you?!" ”

"What if it's a righteous and bright relationship?" Jada asked, "What if your king himself agreed?" ”

"Impossible, I'm a girl, and I can't be a minister!"

"Not as a minister, but as my companion!" Jada blurted out, and then immediately took aback at his words, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was taken for granted, and his heart was relieved, so he smiled, "Yes, that's right, marriage is not necessarily limited to members of the royal family, as long as you king agree, you can also be my wife, and we can be together in the open."

Minna had already froze and her tongue was knotted: "What... Miscellaneous... What the? Wife?! You are crazy?! ”

"I'm not crazy!" Jada said excitedly: "You are my most suitable wife, you are smart and capable, you know Noga, understand my situation, and understand every decision I make!" You can give me a lot of useful advice in political affairs, and you can ease the relationship between me and Your Majesty, you don't know that Your Majesty has always mentioned you in the past few years, he has invited several magic masters from Shaonan, but he always thinks that you are the best, he trusts you! If you become my wife, I will be able to deal with those who are hostile to me without worrying that someone will slander me in front of Your Majesty! We will be the most illustrious king and queen, and Noga will become the most powerful and prosperous country on the continent because of us! ”

Minna was dumbfounded when she heard this, but she was faintly resentful in her heart: "What about after it becomes stronger?" What are you doing? Do you want to invade other countries to unify the continent?! The more she thought about it, the more angry she became: "You guy just can't let go of your ambitions!" I said, if you have time and leisure, you might as well think about how to govern your own country! Obviously, there are a lot of troubles in the country that have not subsided, but they beat other people's ideas all day long! Last time, you just wiped out Prince Mario's faction and wanted to beat us Easter, but what happened? Exploited by the Demon Domain! There are still a large group of careerists in the country waiting to pull you down! You have just quelled the rebels in the country, what are you doing in East? Want to annex Wishal? It's a pity that you didn't expect your own uncle's family to pull you back and want to replace you! If you honestly focus on the internal affairs of your own country, how can they have a chance to cause trouble?! ”

Jada was a little unsightly by her saying that the pain in the center was a little ugly: "Do you think I'm just trying to fulfill my ambitions?!" As I told you before, there is a shortage of resources, but the population is increasing, and our people can't survive, so we must find more arable land and more resources! Now because there are many people who died in the war, and there is your assistance from Easter and Shaonan, the food shortage is not obvious, but more than 30% of our domestic land has been polluted by demonic beasts, and we won't be able to grow food in a few years! Why do you think I want even a barren land like Wisha? Because most of the land there is at least not very polluted! There are a few oases that can still produce some grain, and if you can occupy the land in the south, even if you can buy grain in Shaonan, it will be much more convenient than now! We can't always rely on you and Shaonan to give alms, so that our country still has dignity?! ”

"Don't use dignity as an excuse!" Minna said angrily: "There is a shortage of resources, there are many people who can survive, and there are many places to survive, and you are not the only ones!" Eighty percent of the country in Wiser is desert and can survive, why can't you?! Near the south-east of Sicodi, and on the other side of the Toure Mountains, on the other side of the Wheat City, the land is not much worse than our Merton, except that you have always used it for grazing, and not for farming! You have so many mountains that you can't do anywhere else except to cultivate them and grow them? Those places are not polluted! ”

"Even if they're not polluted, what can we do with them? Don't you know how barren those mountains are? ”

"There are also a lot of wastelands and mountains in Meton, except for a little more rain than Noga, it's not much stronger, but we are doing well," Minna said, "Let me tell you how we did it, after my father became Lord of Merton, because the grass will be consumed, the number of livestock will be limited, and the grazing area will be determined according to the season, and the lords are required to replant the grass twice a year, and he also restricts the lords from cutting down the trees on the mountains, and allows them to plant grass in places that are not suitable for cultivation in the mountains and forests, and then send them to the grass market in Xiko to sell!" He asked the people to plant fruits and flowers that were popular with the people in the central and southern regions, sell them for a large price, and then buy good grain and go back to our Maiton to produce cheap potatoes, corn, and sorghum. Our men can work in the fields, go out to do small business, or join the army for training, and our women and old people can do it

How do you compare to weaving cloth at home, raising chickens and ducks, or grazing livestock? The men have gone to join the army, otherwise they are fighting and racing horses everywhere, and the work in the fields is done by women, old people and children, and when grazing, they look for places with grass, and when they are finished eating, they will find them again, and the trees on the mountains are also cut down if they love to cut down, why do you think you can't get by? If you only know how to consume but don't know how to replenish, no matter how much resources you have, you will become scarce! Not to mention that you now own a quarter of the continent, even if you occupy the entire continent, the land will be barren and resources will be scarce, and the people will not be able to survive! ”

After saying such a long list of words, she was a little panting, but she was still not to be outdone, and her eyes glared at Jada, her cheeks were crimson because of anger, which was a little more moving than usual

Jada also glared at her at first, but gradually lost his anger and couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong with us?" I actually quarreled again because of this topic..."He gently took Minna's hand and said softly: "I don't understand this, can you teach me?" You see, you are so smart, immediately Dang Jun Song Yi Yan Na Xin Xin Huan Xin Pressure  Wei Miao Enzyme  Mei G? br>

Minna shook off his hand with a headache: "Don't you understand?" I've already said that I can't be your wife! ”

Jada just smiled, as if not taking her words to heart, Minna looked angry and said, "Even if you think we are suitable, what about the people of your country?" Will they identify with me? Junia has been engaged to you since she was a child, isn't it because her family background is not good enough to make others laugh, so you dislike it?! I'm the daughter of a viscount, and I'm only a little better than Junia, not to mention that I'm still a foreigner! Don't take me for a fool! ”

Jada's face changed: "I dislike Junia? Where did you hear this nonsense?! ”

"Isn't it?" Minna raised her chin, "This is the Nojia businessman who came from Maicheng, you are a lot old, it was rumored that there was going to be a wedding, and there were rumors that Junia was not from a high background, and the matter was gone, I just heard about it not long ago, you sent her to the holy daughter of Van Adang, even if you don't like her anymore, she has known you for so many years, how can you be so hateful, let her spend her life alone?!" Thinking about Junia, she was also a young and beautiful girl, although she was a little pampered, but she has always been very sincere to Jada, she has fallen to this point, Minna once again feels that Jada will never be a good marriage partner

Jada gasped a few times, turned his head and walked to the window, clutched the window frame, lowered his head and didn't speak, Minna saw this, thinking that he was right by himself, and felt ashamed, so he flattened his mouth, looked back at the pot of the pot, and saw that Yan Se gradually began to change, and hurriedly sprinkled the last flavor of the herb into it

There was silence in the room, only the crackling of the fire and the sound of juice tumbling could be heard, and it was a long time before Minna heard Jada speak: "If it were someone else, I would never say it, I will only tell you one person"

Minna looked back confused: "What? ”

"I don't dislike Junia" Jada said in a deep voice behind her back, "Because of my busy schedule, I haven't been able to spare time to get married, and even she has been waiting for me year after year, I feel sorry for her, and I plan to ask Your Majesty to officiate and have a simple wedding At that time, the ceremonial officer had already begun to prepare, but I didn't expect..." She hugged Shed tightly... Crying, begging him to take him away... That's when I found out, it turned out... They have been having a personal affair for a long time..."

Minna opened her mouth, thinking back to the experience back then, I don't know why, she wasn't surprised at all, wasn't it Jada who gave Junia and Shedd a chance? Seeing that Jada seemed sad, she hurriedly closed her mouth

"I found out their secret, Junia actually knelt in front of me, saying that she was actually just used to me, but what she wanted was the pampering and thoughtfulness of an ordinary man to an ordinary woman, and I couldn't give this kind of love, so I asked me to let her go, and let her be with Shed, who really cared about and loved her, and Shed... He didn't say anything, but I was really angry! ”

Jada took a few breaths before continuing, "The news of the wedding has already spread, if it is canceled at this time, I don't know what rumors it will cause, so I didn't promise them, I just said that I would consider it, and then let the ceremonial officer temporarily withdraw the preparations for the wedding I originally planned to wait for the rumors to pass, and then arrange for them to leave After all, they are the people who have accompanied me since childhood, even if I hate them again, what will I do to them... However, not long after, when I was out on patrol, I encountered an assassination... Shedd, in order to save me, was seriously injured and soon... Before he died, he begged me to forgive Junia, saying that he couldn't take care of her anymore and that I could make her happy..."

He turned around and laughed self-deprecatingly, "What did he think of me?!" If I betrayed my woman because I fell in love with someone else, would I still let her be my wife?! Why did she become a king?! ”

Minna swallowed: "Then later..."

"Then Junia cried very sadly, and told me that she was going to keep her virginity for Shed," Jada shrugged, "I agreed, and in order to clear the way for her, I persuaded His Majesty to take her as an adopted daughter, and then sent her to Van Ah, and when she left, she was very grateful to me."

Minna was silent, from Jada's tone, she could hear that he was not without feelings for his ex-fiancée, so he was so angry, although his approach was just to comply with Junia's request, but there was no revenge in it Junia is still very young, if she stays in Noga, she may be able to marry someone else in the future, but when she goes to Fana, even if she changes her mind, it is too late Minna remembered Alex's aunt, Ms. Rosalyn, she just regretted being a saint, but she couldn't get out?

But looking at Jada, who still had resentment in her eyes, Minna didn't mention this, she stirred the earth demon in the pot, and when she saw that it had turned into a transparent blue se, she hurriedly removed the pot and poured the juice into a crystal cup

Okay, drink it while it's hot."

Jada woke up from his contemplation and saw that the ground demon was cold enough to drink in front of him, and his heart warmed, and he lowered his head and took it: "Thank you"

Seeing him drink the magic pill, Minna asked him to lie down and rest for a while, and promised to bring a few more doses of water to him when he returned home, so that he could take it back to Nomenka and go to Jada to take Minna's hand: "Why didn't you mention my request just now?" Did Junia's affair make you angry? ”

"It's not your fault that I'm not mad at Junia," Minna shook her hand away, "but that doesn't mean anything, even if you don't think there's something wrong with my origins, there's still a huge gulf between us."

Don't forget, your heart hasn't given up on the dream of a unified continent, and that means you're going to be hostile to Easter one day, so what should I do? You say I'm your most suitable wife, but have you ever thought about it? Do I like you? What kind of life do I want to live? What do I get by marrying you? Do I feel pain when your plans are at odds with my homeland and loved ones? ”

Jada was stunned: "Minna..."

"Even if you hadn't attacked us East, and I was from the Security Service, would you really not suspect me? Do you wonder if what I say to you and do is I trying to find out your secrets? Did I help Esther calculate you? Is my every move planned by the Security Department behind me? Minna felt that her thinking at the moment was extremely clear, as if she had seen a possible future, she looked at Jada and smiled faintly: "So, let's be friends, if we want to meet on the battlefield in the future, I won't be soft, and you don't have to worry"

She turned to put away the cooking table and was about to leave, when she heard Jada, who was silent behind her, suddenly say, "What if I give up being hostile to Easter?" ”

Minna was stunned and turned around: "Is it possible?" That's what you've dreamed of for years," she knew this too well, and she had always been a little wary of this "friend".

Jada smiled bitterly: "As you said before, my own country has not settled down yet, why should I fight other people's ideas?" This time I took half of the Wisha, and it takes more time to digest it, if I follow your father's example and take Noga seriously, maybe... You don't have to fight to make the country rich and strong" He raised his eyes and stared straight at Minna: "If I give up the idea of reunification, even... Sign a formal peace agreement with your king, promising not to invade Easth and Shaonan for the rest of your life, and if your king agrees, you... Will you change your mind and go back with me? ”

Minna took two steps back, a little dazed in her heart, Jada had always dreamed of it, and just gave up? Why... Will she feel like that's not true?

But if... He really gave up, and would rather give up for her sake...

Minna didn't know how she had left, only vaguely remembered that she seemed to say something that seemed to say, "Go back and think about it", but she was walking down the street and her mind was not clear

She really couldn't understand why Jada would be willing to give in to this extent. Does he like her that much? Obviously, I didn't know that she was Minter until today, but even if I knew that she was Minter, their friendship was not so deep before, right? When he knew that she was a secret agent, he was so angry that he wanted to kill her!

Could it be that ... He thought Mint was dead, and subconsciously imagined her to be the perfect friend? Minna thinks back to the NSA's psychoanalytic course and thinks it's a real possibility

But Jada is obviously a very calm and rational guy... It is only in the matter of external expansion that he shows fanaticism

Someone who is so fanatical about expansion would be willing to give up expansion for her... Minna was a little moved, remembering what Winnie had watched during her pastime, and wondered if that didn't fit the description that the hero could sacrifice everything for the heroine? Every time Winnie watched it, she was moved to wipe her tears, although Minna didn't wipe her tears, her face couldn't help but turn red

But she really couldn't make up her mind that if it was something else, she would have asked Alex a long time ago, but this question, she instinctively thought that it was better not to let Alex know

The commotion in the street ahead woke her from her musings, only to find that she had unknowingly found herself in a neighborhood inhabited by civilians, and was busy looking around to see what was happening

What greeted her was several familiar figures, she recognized them as the housekeeper and manservant of her uncle Elon's family, among them Corbin was pulling a young girl tightly and wanted to drag her into the carriage, while a middle-aged woman was desperately pulling him from behind, two **-year-old boys grabbed the girl's apron, a middle-aged man and two young people about twenty years old were angrily talking to the housekeeper to listen to the content of their conversation, it seemed that the housekeeper wanted to take the girl away, and the girl's family resolutely refused

Minna lowered her face and ran over quickly, shouting, "What are you guys doing here?!" Seeing that Corbin still didn't let go, she pushed him and staggered: "Let go of your dirty hands!" Corbin steadied himself and looked at her in a daze, before he shrank his head in shock

She turned around and tried to comfort the girl, but found that it was an acquaintance... It's actually Bevan's lover Catherine!

Catherine, apparently recognized her as well, bit her lip, tears fell from her pale face, and turned her head aggrievedly

The butler stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Minna: "Miss Minna" paused, and he lowered his voice: "This is Madame's order, she wants to invite this young lady to be a guest"

Minna sneered: "Guest? Looking at your posture, I thought it was a robbery! ”

The housekeeper quietly wiped a cold sweat: "You laughed, how is this possible?" ”

Minna glanced at everyone and saw that Catherine's family members were all angry and unhappy on their faces, and the crowd of onlookers were also pointing and muttering, and then turned back to Catherine and asked, "What happened?" ”

(In order to make up for yesterday, a little more yard...) I'm not cheeky enough to ask for pink tickets, of course it's even better... ）
