In fact, the ball was of little interest to no one other than Miss Schönek, and Schwartenen was not popular with these entertainments. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Finally they had a brief meeting at the ball, and Salian accompanied Lorana Ise to a Merale Song dance before leaving.

Returning to "Kaiserhof", Salian felt the need to have a good talk with the two partners of the Hanser League. Originally, we already knew in the first chapter that the purpose of his trip was to see the bearing of the father and son of the Earl of the Palace, and the current situation made him very disappointed. Therefore, before the Count of the Palace had a secret talk to him alone, he had no interest in making the regent emperor. He wants to let the two partners know what he thinks and support the candidate of his choice at the Imperial Hierarchy meeting that is bound to take place next year. In addition to Schwartenen's fundamentals, Salian hopes to get a vote from the Hansa League, as well as the financial backing they provide.

In one of the secret rooms of "Kaiserhof", Salian sat around with the two female shareholders of the hotel, as well as Miss Teresa, who of course did not participate in the discussions, but needed the magic net she had laid for the secrecy of the talks.

"Estfaria, Lorana Ise, I want to talk to you about politics about the election of the next Emperor. ”

Miss Schöneke smiled narrowly, "Wow, this is a major historical event! Your Excellency the Earl of the Frontier District, do you want to be the emperor? Do you want to choose one of the three of us to be the queen? To be honest, I am not mentally prepared, so you will not consider Anna?"

"Hahahaha, do you want your son to become the crown prince or duke so much?

Miss Werther, who had already flirted with them and resisted, said: "If we really want to fight for the throne, we may not have enough financial resources, right? The Ruger family will definitely support the Rokenhausen family, and if we spend money to bribe the election, we will definitely not be able to compare with them!"

"Oh, two honorable young ladies, do you really think I want to be the emperor?"

"Of course, you were still talking to me in your sleep last night when you were sleeping, what 'to transform the decaying empire', what 'to rebuild the imperial church system', I won't list them all, why don't you want to be an emperor and think about these things every day?"

Sally Anxin thought that he must get rid of the bad habit of talking in his dreams in the future, he rubbed his chin, laughed dryly, and explained to the two eldest ladies.

"Hehe, you are all wrong, if I run for the emperor now, it will be a political suicide, my core territory is in the remote northeast, although it is vast, but extremely backward, and Heixinggen is in the southwest of the empire, it is all mountainous and hilly, there are few plains, the land is barren, except for grapes, can only grow oats and rye, it is not easy to maintain the balance of these two lands, not to mention recruiting additional soldiers to wage war. You see that I don't even have a single servant when I go out, how can I compete with those big princes?"

"Oh, so you've already studied the feasibility of becoming an emperor, and your ambition is really not small! In terms of money, it should be solved by me and Estheralia. ”

"Lorana Es, the question of money is indeed not difficult, but I think that Salian's roots in the empire are not enough, and the Hohenstlingen family has just become princes and is still too young. ”

The two girls were already making serious plans for Sarian to become emperor.

"Okay, the matter of the Hohenstlingen family becoming emperor should be left to my great-grandson or great-great-grandson to fight for, and you don't have to dream of being an empress anymore. ”

Salian, who met the disappointed gazes of the two eldest ladies, continued to speak to them.

"The Divine Grace Empire of our Tutonians has gradually declined since the Third Dynasty, and you should also be well aware that without the protection of a strong central power, it is very difficult to do business both domestically and overseas, and you know better than me how much the Han Shea Alliance, which once dominated the entire northern trade, has shrunk compared to the past. ”

Lorena Ise understood that these words were spoken by Salian to Estfaria, she and Salian had agreed on political views, and now Salian must be trying to convince Estofalia, although she had tried, but unfortunately failed.

The clever Lorana Ise immediately followed Salian's words.

"Yes, in the past, we had our own port on Sanwang Island, and there were also several harbor cities in the Beiting area under the rule of the Alliance, but now the River Kingdom on Sanwang Island is powerful and has taken all the trading stations and ports of the Alliance. And the Kingdom of Beiting even established a country from scratch, although the fleet is still very weak, but their powerful army has defeated us many times, and the free resources are all gone. Although these are the inevitable results of the awakening of the ignorant race, we can still survive if the Divine Grace Empire still has hegemony on the continent. However, when the empire was in such decline, the Han-Shea League, which did not have the support of a strong central power, had to follow suit. Is there anything you can do, Sarian?"

Miss Witt watched the two of them sing and harmonize, but did not answer. Salian knew she still needed to think, or a big setback to wake up, but he needed to take his stand now, at least to let the two partners know what he was trying to do with his hard work.

"Yes, not only your Han Xie Alliance, but also other parts of our empire will also be harmed, the Kingdom of François in the west has always been eyeing the hegemony of the continent, but the continuous war with the Long-eared tribe has dragged them down, otherwise they would have wanted to annex our Schwartenn a long time ago! Of course, this is not the biggest threat, the invasion of our continent by the Levant of the Levant in the east is higher and higher, and many small countries in the southeast of the continent have already submitted to her, and the next thing is that our Divine Grace Empire will face her challenge. If I fail, I can't imagine what will happen!"

"Salian, you don't have to be too pessimistic, I think there are still some people of insight in the empire, at least the Rokenhausen family will definitely resist the Sunchaser Cult. Lorana Ise comforted Salian.

This is not a lie, although ordinary people are not yet aware of the situation, those of them who have stayed up all night know that the crisis is looming.

"So, my friends, I hope you will support my claim and elect an emperor who can lead the empire out of decline. ”

Miss Werther, who had been thinking about it since just now, said to Salian: "I also understand your considerations, but no matter who is chosen as emperor, it cannot guarantee the stability of our Han Xie Alliance, and we have to rely on ourselves in everything, Lorana Ea, what can he bring us by supporting an emperor to ascend to the throne? ”

It seems that Salian will not be able to convince Miss Witt for the time being, the more a person understands, the more stubborn he will sometimes become, but Salian is confident that she can change her mind through practical actions.

"Well, it's okay, dear Estherfaria, you have your idea, don't force it. I'll tell you about my plans. You have also seen the situation of the father and son of the Earl of the Imperial Palace, and I will never support his accession to the throne of God. Duke Korzen Moritz von Eppenzell was very talented, and every day he thought about the Knights of the Sword and the lands of my New Mark Territory, and naturally he had to exclude them. ”

Miss Schönecke, who was well acquainted with the form of the Empire, said: "Then what remains are none other than the Rokenhausens of Aldenburg or the Hindfingen of Wienria?"

"Yes, but I already have a preference in my heart, and I will definitely visit the old Duke of Hindfingen, but not to help him become emperor, but to get him to support my candidacy. ”

"Haha, is that Rockenhausen?, indeed, the Rosenberg family now has no heirs, and their son-in-law, Archduke Joseph, is the most legitimate heir in terms of lineage, but you don't think that's all there is?" Miss Schöneke asked Salian suspiciously.

"Of course, although my family has served the imperial court for generations, and since my grandfather has been favored by His Majesty today, he has become a prince, but if the heir is bad, even if he is given the grace of Tuogu, I will not choose him. But last week I met the eldest son of the Grand Duke, Maxinus, and I thought he was a very suitable person, and Estherfaria was present. ”

"But their current finans are the Ruger family, the biggest rival of our Han Xie Alliance within the empire!"

"Wouldn't that be better, as long as they contributed more than the Ruger family in assisting the Rokenhausen family to ascend to the throne, wouldn't it be able to take their place?

"Well, I didn't expect that, but it might be better for us from this point of view, I think it's appropriate, what do you think, Estfaria?"

"Lorana Ise, I really don't want our Hansie Alliance to participate in imperial politics, but if Salian is sure, I won't oppose you, but my Werther family won't pay for it. ”

"Yes, I understand that. Well, I've told you my biggest secret, Lorana Ess, will you trust me?"

"Of course, I've already decided to tie our interests together, and it's okay if you think of it as the impulse of blind love. ”

"Oh, dear Lorana Ise, if it were impulsive, it would have made me think less of you. I know that you, like Estheria, must act in the best interests of your family, and I will do my best not to disappoint you. ”

"Count of the Borderlands, as long as you don't abandon me. Lorana Ise leaned close to Salian.

Miss Witt thought to herself, wasn't this the gambler's oath of her friend Miss Schönecke!

"Lorana Ise, do you want to sign a contract with Salian to protect your rights and interests, you see that I signed the contract and follow Salian with confidence, I can also help you attach a powerful curse for free!"

At this moment, Teresa, who had no sense of existence in the room, suddenly spoke, and her words completely broke the heavy political atmosphere just now.

"Haha, good friend Teresa, we don't need this, I absolutely believe in the Earl of the Borderlands!" Miss Schönek shook her head firmly.

Miss Witt also said to Teresa: "Teresa, there are some contracts that you don't need to sign, and I haven't signed a contract with the Earl of the Border District, right?!"

"You're all so weird, forget it, I'll just keep my contract anyway!"
