A somewhat bitter smile appeared on her face, Artoria looked at Al, nodded, and said politely, "I see, it's really bothering you." ”

After speaking, looking at each other without saying a word, Al turned his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking, while Artoria sat back on the chair in front of the desk, reached out and picked up the quill to prepare to sign the documents, but from the quill that had not moved for a long time and Artoria's eyes could see that Artoria did not look at those documents at all.

Elias looked at the two who were speechless, she sighed softly, she didn't know what to say, she could only stay quietly, waiting for the two to speak again and break the deadlock.

"Your Highness, the Grand Duke of Lucerne has come to visit with the Marquis of Schreder. ”

Daniel's words broke the silence in the study, and hearing Daniel's words, Artoria also came back to her senses and said to Daniel, who was standing at the door: "Uncle Daniel, let in the Grand Duke of Lucerne and the Marquis of Schreder." ”

Nodding his head slightly, Daniel looked at Al and Elith who were standing aside, and said, "Your Highness, should Elisi and this young lady step down, and there must be no other person in the study when His Highness and Grand Duke Lucerne are talking." ”

Glancing at Al, Artoria smiled helplessly with a little disappointment when she saw that Al still had nothing to say, and then prepared for Daniel to take Elith and Al out.

But at this moment, Al suddenly raised his head, looked at Artoria, and said, "Your Highness, didn't you just say that you have something to tell us?"

Hearing this, Artoria's eyes lit up slightly, and then she pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said to Daniel: "Uncle Daniel, I'm sorry, I forgot just now, I do have some very important things to do with Elith and Ai...... Alice said, "So tell the Archduke of Lucerne and the Marquis of Schreder that if there is anything to write to me, if not, please go back." ”

Daniel glanced at Al, nodded slightly, and said in a deliberate loud voice, "Then please Elith and this ...... Miss Alice and Her Highness have a good discussion, and I will immediately order someone to bring black tea and refreshments. ”

With that, Daniel turned and left the study, closed the door, and after giving some orders to the attendant who had come here to give a message, Daniel continued to stand by the door outside the study, guarding Artoria.

Looking at Al sitting by the window, Artoria said to him, "Al, how have you been in the past five years?"

Nodding his head slightly, he replied, "It's not bad, I'm also a first-level wizard now, and I'm considered an official wizard of the 'Crow's Nest', and I'm much safer now than at the apprenticeship stage." ”

"It turns out that you joined the 'Crow's Nest'! That is a very powerful wizard organization, in the dark wizard organization, this 'Crow's Nest' can be regarded as one of the best, there are five sixth-level wizards alone, which is already a lot more than the powerhouses in our Holy Sword Empire. ”

"Actually, that's what happened, the wizarding world is not peaceful, there is a fight between the white wizard and the dark wizard, and there is also a fight between the dark wizard organization, otherwise where would it be the turn to get the hundreds of millions of Radiant Lord Church to occupy half of the Western Continent. ”

Hahaha, Artoria looked at Al, nodded and said: "That's true, but there is a problem you haven't figured out, in the Western Continent, the area occupied by the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiances is only one-third of the range, and the remaining two-thirds are occupied by you wizards and some humanoid races."

Of course, as the largest religion, their territory is not only the Western Continent, but a small part of the land adjacent to the Western Continent on the Northern Continent is also occupied by the Hundreds of Millions of Radiance Lords, if it were not for the resistance of the countries on the Northern Continent and the Church of the Ice and Snow Goddess, I am afraid that half of the land in the Northern Continent would also be occupied by the Hundreds of Millions of Radiance Lords. ”

"There are three continents in our world, the western continent and the northern continent have the territory of the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiance, so is the Eastern Continent the same as these two continents, and there are traces of the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiance?"

Speaking of which, it has to be said that in the vast ocean known to mankind, there are three continents floating on the endless sea, named after the East Continent, the West Continent, and the North Continent according to their orientation.

The North Continent is located at the top and is adjacent to the East and West Continents, and between the East Continent and the West Continent, there are two seas, the West Coast of the West Continent and the East Coast of the East Continent are separated by a sea called the Sea of Stars, which is relatively peaceful, allowing people to reach the opposite continent by boat, and the islands on the Sea of Stars are as dense as the night sky, which can also be used as a resting place for ocean voyages, providing conditions for ocean voyages.

On the contrary, the ocean between the east coast of the Western Continent and the west coast of the East Continent is about three times the size of the Sea of Stars, and on this vast and boundless sea, storms and various transcendent creatures are raging on the sea, and all the ships that enter this area called the Sea of Storms have all lost their traces without exception, so the connection between the two continents is based on the Sea of Stars and the Northern Continent as a passage, so El will have the previous question.

Looking at Al, Artoria shook her head lightly and said: "It's not that there is no Hundreds of Millions of Radiant Lord Churches on the Eastern Continent, but on the Eastern Continent, the Hundreds of Millions of Radiance Lord Churches have no chance to develop at all, and it is said that only a few churches have been established in a few coastal cities, and those churches are still in a half-dead state.

Even in the Eastern Continent, the wizards are swaggering, and the people of the Hundreds of Millions of Radiant Lord Church will not be able to see it, because on the Eastern Continent, the supreme is the imperial power, even if the authority of the gods is lower than the power of the imperial power. ”

Speaking of this, Artoria's eyes burst into a bright light, especially when she said that the authority of the gods was also lower than the power of the imperial power, Artoria's whole person seemed to burst out with a dazzling light.

Obviously, Artoria has not only not forgotten the development of imperial power, but is more eager than five years ago, as an emperor, Artoria's ambition has been fully revealed.

Looking at Artoria's appearance, Al couldn't help but sigh, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to take Artoria out of the Holy Sword Empire, for Artoria, letting the Holy Sword Empire get rid of divine power and even become the most powerful country in the Western Continent was what she valued the most at the moment.

It's not that Artoria looks down on Al, or that she doesn't like Al anymore, but for Artoria as a person, feelings come after dreams and ambitions.

For this, in fact, Artoria herself also knows, so when she saw Al, she made that cold performance, she didn't want to, and she didn't want Al to worry about herself, because as the future queen of the Holy Sword Empire, Artoria is impossible, and she can't find a wizard as her husband, even if that husband can't touch Artoria for the rest of her life, but nominally, Artoria must have a nobleman as her husband.

This is the root cause of the contradiction between Al and Artoria!

After a whole day of small talk, everything was discussed, but the relationship between the two people, whether it was Artoria or Al, was very clever to avoid causing a topic.

As it darkened, Al got up and left the palace with Elith.

And after Al and Elith left, Daniel walked in from outside, looked at Artoria who was smiling and tearful, and said with great heartache: "Artoria, if you really like him, then keep him, as long as he can give up all his wizarding abilities, then I have a way to make his identity reasonable and legitimate!"

At that time, as a nobleman, Al Grant can be your husband in the open. ”

Listening to Daniel's words, Artoria shook her head, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from her face, she looked at Daniel, and said: "Uncle Daniel, El has his dream, just like I want to build the Holy Sword Empire into the strongest country in the Western Continent, the wizard's path is Al's dream, and if he wants to take revenge on the Church of the Lord of Radiance, strength is also necessary."

Therefore, I can't be so selfish as to ask Al to give up everything for me, so I know very well that I can't marry Al, at least for now, with someone who can stabilize my throne.

I won't let that guy touch me, though, I like ...... No, I love Al, so I'm just Al alone, and no one else wants to touch me. ”

Daniel looked at Artoria with a heartache and said, "If this is the case, won't you have no heirs in the future?"

Shaking her head slightly, Artoria looked at Daniel and said: "I will have a child, as long as my child has the blood of the Pendragon family, there will be no problem, as for who the child's father is, I don't think anyone will care, so I need your help Uncle Daniel, I want to have a child with Al, and this child will be the king of the Holy Sword Empire in the future, he will represent me and El and become the real king of the Western Continent!"

Looking at Artoria, Daniel, who was a sixth-level powerhouse, couldn't help but show a shocked look, but when he thought about it carefully, he had to admit that Artoria's idea was feasible, as long as he could get the husband who was chosen by Artoria!(To be continued.) )
