Chapter 342: Choice
There's no Carol in the way.
Vega found that the journey had been extremely smooth, and there had been no incident at all, and Thea had endured this part of the journey with great patience, and was now only a day's journey away from the city of Saint Laurent.
Clear the open space and set up the tent.
Vega and Thea sat down around a crackling fire, and it was the last comfortable night for Vega.
It's past tonight.
Tomorrow he will return to Saint Laurent, and he will be surrounded on all sides by the Kingdom Army.
If that's all there is to it, Vega is acceptable.
What I am most afraid of now is that the situation of the princess's disappearance has been leaked, and the city is in chaos, plus he himself has not stayed to preside over the overall situation, relying only on the adjutant and a few high-ranking officers, it is difficult to forcibly suppress it.
Although what has been heard in the past few days shows that Yves Saint Laurent has not yet fallen.
But Vega wasn't optimistic that everything was going well, but it was useless to worry, it was better to enjoy this last day of vacation and return to the city tomorrow to make another plan.
After all, this time, he brought back the spiritual banner of Xiya.
Having Thea crowned in Saint Laurent at this time would probably give everyone a booster.
"Your Highness, you can go home tomorrow. β
Vega handed Thea the unpalatable marching rations, and then there was silence again.
Vega really didn't know what to talk about to break the awkward atmosphere.
He and Xiya are not from the same world after all, and their outlook on life and worldview is very different, after all, one is a princess born with a golden key, and the other is an ordinary commoner before and after crossing.
So most of the time there is silence along the way.
There are too many polite words and scenes, but Vega doesn't know how to deal with this princess in a private capacity.
"Thank you, General Vega. β
After taking a small bite of her food, Princess Thea broke the silence and said to Vega, "Thank you for helping me get home, my true home. β
With grateful eyes.
Thea continued, "General Vega, Thea wants to ask you a serious question. β
"Your Highness, please speak. β
Doubts flashed in Vega's eyes, and now he really couldn't guess Thea's thoughts.
Xia was silent for a few seconds, and then her eyes flashed with determination: "General, can Xia fully trust you?"
"Of course. Vega was more and more puzzled.
Thea shook her head, realizing that Vega didn't understand what she meant: "General, Thea wants you to join the dynasty and at the same time swear allegiance to me as a subject of the Holy Dynasty. β
That's right, it's Thea, not the dynasty.
Thea didn't need a person who was loyal to the dynasty, there were too many.
"Your Highness, this ......"
Vega didn't know how to answer for a while, joining the nationality of the Holy Dynasty meant that he would be recognized as treason by the empire, and everything he ran in the empire would disappear in an instant.
Even the command of the army will be taken away in an instant.
If you don't agree, it will inevitably make Xiya feel guilty, can't you use Huairou's policy to control Xiya in the end?
Vega did not like to oppress Thea with violence and coercion.
This method is the easiest way for the controlled person to rebound, and in the end, if a fish dies and the net is broken, it is really troublesome for the overall situation.
Just when Vega didn't know how to answer, Thea spoke in surprise.
"General, Thea hopes to marry you. β
Thea's eyes looked at Vega like stars, without Saint Laurent XVIII and Carol, there was no one in this world she could rely on, but fortunately, Vega appeared like a god.
It was as if it was meant to be.
From the time of the little alley, he saved her again and again.
She wanted Vega to be with her for the rest of her life.
Although this is not accepted by the common people, as long as Vega joins the nationality of the dynasty, after she is crowned emperor and the overall situation has been decided, she will definitely try her best to marry Vega despite public opinion, so that Vega will truly become the unique prince of the Holy Dynasty.
The Holy Dynasty was monogamous.
The queen was allowed to marry, as the queen's husband, and was by default the prince of the Holy Dynasty.
And what about Vega, who heard this?
His expression stiffened on his face, and he subconsciously asked, "Your Highness, why?"
It was indeed unexpected by Vega.
Although Vega thinks that his friendship with Thea is high enough, it has not yet reached the supreme level, and counting the time, he and Thea have not been together for a long time.
"Thea has understoodβ"
Regarding Vega's question, Xiya smiled slightly, and actually showed the maturity of enlightenment: "Carol is loyal to the dynasty, not me, the officers of the dynasty are loyal to power and interests, not me, and even the people of the dynasty, the allegiance is only the glory of the past, and the identity of the princess is still not mine." β
"If so. β
Xia showed a warm smile: "In this world, there are still people who are not for the dynasty, not for the princess, just because I am Xiya, so if they are willing to help me, then I think only you, General Vega." β
Vega opened her mouth to say something.
But Thea interrupted Vega: "General Vega, if all this is a lie, please don't let me know. β
After laughing.
Xia slowly bowed to Vega: "General, I'm really sorry to take the liberty of making such an excessive request, if Xia will be wrong about you, please forget about tonight's incident, Xia will also repay your kindness in other ways in the future." β
Vega realized that this was definitely a great opportunity.
If he can marry the princess, then he will control the Holy Dynasty openly, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks about his identity as an imperial general, and he can also justifiably interfere in the dynasty's government affairs, economy, military, and personnel......
After driving out the kingdom army and unifying the Holy Dynasty.
He will truly become the uncrowned emperor of the dynasty.
Although the Holy Dynasty is one of the weakest countries in the Jialan Continent, it is also a large country with vast territory and resources, and the common people are quite united.
With the Holy Dynasty as the foundation, there is the possibility of plotting to seize Jialan.
But there are pros and cons to everything.
If this matter is known to the outside world now.
Then the 20,000 troops under his command are afraid that they will immediately rebel, and the glory of the imperial soldiers makes them unable to accept being commanded by a person who betrays the empire.
Second.
His OECD in the capital of the empire is probably beginning to take shape, and when the news of his renunciation of imperial citizenship comes out, some high-ranking officials will immediately take his position and disassociate themselves from him.
Even the Rodney Chamber of Commerce will be uprooted.
So how do you choose now?
