Chapter 13: Charles Alliston
Under the night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
The Emerald City was brightly lit, the moonlight was dimmed tonight, and cheers were heard from time to time in all the urban areas.
There is no such thing as a slum in the Emerald Capital, and all the residents are innocent citizens, so this is a real city-wide carnival.
The reason why the Emerald Capital is so lively tonight is because the Crystal Palace is going to feast on the ministers tonight, and His Majesty the Emperor wants to welcome the crown prince of the Elf Kingdom and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to the Emerald Capital as a guest at the highest standard.
This is the highest-level VIP to visit the Crystal Palace since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries for a thousand years, and naturally deserves such treatment.
In this day and age, the lord of a nation decided that it was impossible to come in person. If it does happen to go to another country's capital in person, there are only two possibilities.
One is what the former archons of the Emerald Empire did, personally leading the army to break through the capital of the enemy country.
The other is that the king of a dead country is captured and taken to the capital of an enemy country.
In addition to these two cases, there is really no precedent for the monarch of one country to go to the capital of another country.
The Crystal Palace was overjoyed by the visit of Her Royal Highness the Elven Princess, believing that it was the Elven Kingdom's great respect for the Empire.
His Majesty the Emperor is a person who is very happy with his achievements, this kind of person is very good-looking, and now, he feels that the visit of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess makes him very face-saving, so as soon as he is happy, he decides to have a carnival with all the people in the city.
As for how much it will cost tonight.
His Majesty the Emperor said that he did not care about this, and even the treasurer did not care about this.
The treasurer said that the empire had not had a major war for so many years, and that it was all a small foreign war, and the army said that we could feed the war with war, and there was no need for large-scale spending by the treasury at all.
As for the cost of changing the army's outfit every few years, the finance officer said that the taxes collected by the major provinces were much more than that.
In short, in a word, rich, capricious!
If these two don't speak, the others won't refute it, and there is no benefit, so there is no need to make His Majesty the Emperor unhappy because of such a trivial matter.
Thus the proposal was adopted.
......
"Click!"
The wheels of the carriage ran over the road, and it drove in the direction of the Crystal Palace.
Saga gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out at the bustling scene.
This prosperous scene made Saga feel a lot of emotion, except for him, no one could have imagined that the empire that is now so prosperous would collapse so quickly and without warning.
Civil war!
It's like a curse.
Whenever an empire grows to a point where all the surrounding countries are subservient, it turns into internal friction.
Civil war will inevitably occur, and the national strength accumulated by the empire over countless years will be frantically consumed in such wars.
If you kill your own people, you may still hold on to a little at first, but in the end, in order to win, you will do everything you can, and at that time, it will be the time when the national strength is greatly weakened.
And in this process, all the so-called heroes who are competing for the world will still think that the empire is still the most powerful, and the surrounding small countries are just garbage that can be crushed at will.
Such examples are not uncommon in all planes.
The result of the Three Kingdoms in a hundred years was the chaos of the Celestial Empire, and the same was true of the Germanic barbarian invasion of ancient Rome.
The former made Zhuxia's long-cherished wish completely extinct, and the latter destroyed a thousand-year-old civilization, and the entire West fell into the dark Middle Ages.
In the previous life, the empire also experienced the same thing, and in the previous life, Sachar was also a member of the short-sighted.
"Huh!"
Saga lowered the curtains, put away his thoughts, sat in the car, closed his eyes, and rested.
The horseman's technique is very good, and although the speed of the carriage is fast, it is very stable.
The manor where Sachar lived was not very close to the Crystal Palace, and the carriage traveled for more than half an hour to reach its destination.
With the groom's soft shout, Saga slowly opened his eyes, lifted the curtain, and stepped on the groom's prepared pads and stepped into the car.
Behind the carriage of the Brandon family was the carriage of the Longouts.
Jute and Suyaren got out of the car and walked towards where Sagar was standing.
"Boom!"
No sooner had the three of them stood than a carriage stopped in front of Zachar's carriage.
Sagar's brow furrowed, and he saw a large black pit viper pattern on the carriage, and his blood-red eyes looked a little chilling.
"Alliston!" all three of them immediately understood whose carriage it was.
Alliston's family, a famous family in the first order of the imperial capital, originated at the end of the second emperor of the three emperors.
After that, he followed the third emperor, Julius the Great, all the way to the west, and made great achievements, even surpassing the Brandon family in that era, and was called the first family, which shows the prominence of the family.
Later, there was an emperor in the family, but he did not have enough background and died violently in only five years.
"Wow!" a foot was placed next to the carriage, and the man in the carriage lifted the curtain, and a slightly thin young man stepped out of the carriage and got out of it.
Sagar looked at the young man in front of him, his face was handsome, his skin was slightly fair, and even a little sickly pale, his hair color and pupils were brown, which was a typical Mesonian appearance.
The whole person is filled with a sense of bookishness, and he looks like a scholar with a full stomach.
"Charles Alliston!" Zaga felt a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart.
He is very familiar with this person, because this is his biggest opponent in his previous life, and he is also the person he admires the most.
If it weren't for Ivan's help, Sachar knew that he would not be this man's opponent.
"In Lower Charles, it's been a pleasure to meet a couple here. Charles politely said to the three of them, "Especially if I am fortunate to be able to meet Miss Su Yalun, your charm has overshadowed the moonlight tonight, and I am really favored by Lady Luck tonight." ”
In the Emerald Empire, when the two sides meet and greet each other, if there is a female dependent, it usually starts with praising the beauty of the female dependent.
It's a social etiquette, just as the British love to talk about the weather.
"Thank you for the compliment, you are a true gentleman. Su Yalun responded to Charles's praise in a standard ladylike manner.
"It's getting late, Mr. Zagar, Mr. Jute, Miss Sua-Lun, maybe we can go in first, and then we have a chance to talk again. Charles suggested.
"Of course, that's as it should be. With a smile on his face, Sachar stretched out his hand and waved it forward, "Please." ”
