Chapter 635: Imperial Discussion
Sophia's righteous words made many nobles bow their heads in shame, especially some young nobles who were interested in pursuing the princess, and they longed for a crack in the ground to let themselves get into. It's a pity that she far underestimated the cheekiness of those old nobles, and the Marquis of Noviran had a calm face, and he didn't care that this was the Great Hall, nor did he care that His Majesty the Emperor was on the side, and reprimanded loudly: "How can this kind of military affairs allow an ignorant woman like you to mess around? Don't hurry back! Don't forget that according to the laws of the Empire, those who trespass on the Great Hall of Deliberation will be punished! If you continue to mess around, don't blame the law for being ruthless!"
"Hmph!" Princess Sophia glanced at the Marquis de Novirand with disdain, not paying any attention to his threatening words. The only person who can punish the imperial princess is His Majesty the Emperor, and the Marquis of Novelland, as the Imperial Justice, has no right to dispose of the imperial family.
"Father, now that the situation is urgent, seeing that several of Pritz's legions are about to enter the city, you can't hesitate any longer, and there is no shame in being soft, as long as we work hard to revitalize the empire, today's humiliation will become our motivation to work hard. As long as you can keep the Empire, it doesn't matter if you have a little face!" Princess Sophia said loudly to His Majesty the Emperor.
Although the nobles present were a little dissatisfied with Princess Sophia's trespass in the main hall, they had to admit that Princess Sophia was much stronger than herself in both the analysis of the situation and the decision of the matter.
Emperor Paris sat high on the throne, looking at the impassioned Princess Sophia's head held high, as noble and intelligent as a beautiful and proud white swan, and secretly sighed in his heart that it was a pity that Sophia was not a boy, otherwise her performance would be enough to become an excellent imperial crown prince. Emperor Paris just had such a thought in his heart, and he was immediately extinguished by himself, in the Paris Empire, where the status of women was not too high, the idea of a woman being an emperor was shocking, and it would definitely not be accepted by those nobles.
Not all nobles were as arrogant and stupid as the Marquis of Novira, and although it was unconventional for Princess Sophia to make a fuss, there were a small number of nobles, especially some young nobles, who thought that Princess Sophia had a point.
"Your Majesty, although Princess Sophia's actions today are a bit rude, what she said is very reasonable. If you don't have anything better to do, I think it's worth considering. A tall, tall and powerful young nobleman stepped out of the crowd and spoke loudly to His Majesty the Emperor.
This sudden appearance surprised the nobles present, especially the Marquis of Novilland stared at the young nobleman viciously with eyes as if he was about to eat people, his words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Marquis of Noveland, which made the Marquis of Novilland angry, but when he saw this young nobleman clearly, the Marquis of Novilland gritted his teeth with hatred and did not come out in the hall.
The young nobleman's name was Hank Norris, the only son of Captain Carey Norris of the Order of Glory, and Emperor Paris had cared for Hank as if he were his own since the death of Captain Norris in battle. After Hank Norris inherited the title of Earl of Norris, he was also very competitive in vigorously promoting the reorganization and improvement of Paris's army, and received strong support from His Majesty the Emperor.
The Marquis of Novellan, who relied on the emperor's favor to ascend to the marquis's throne, looked invincible in front of others, but in the face of Hank Norris, who was more favored by the emperor than him, he could only obediently silence, even if he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to attack in person.
At this scene in the court meeting, the expressions on the faces of the nobles reacted, and Emperor Paris, who was sitting high on the throne, saw it clearly. The Marquis of Novirand has some ability, he is naturally very tight, and his arrogance today also made His Majesty the Emperor faintly disappointed in his heart, but Hank Norris was able to choose to support Princess Sophia at a critical moment, which made His Majesty the Emperor quite happy, no matter what, the empire at least has loyal and intelligent courtiers, not without any hope.
It's a pity! Although Hank Norris is good in all aspects, it's a pity that he doesn't have any amazing talents, the key is that his appearance is mediocre, Princess Sophia will never take a fancy to him, otherwise it can be regarded as a good match for Princess Sophia. In just a few moments, many thoughts turned in Emperor Paris's heart.
Seeing that the army of the Principality of Pritz returned from the north, almost single-handedly turning the tide and defeating the army of millions of orcs in the south, under such military merits, even if the Grand Duke of Pritz led the army to subvert the Paris Empire at this time, I am afraid that the Human Alliance Arbitration Panel would not be able to make a strong ruling against Paris. Decades and hundreds of years later, people will only sing the praises of the wisdom and bravery of the Grand Duke of Pritz, and no one will remember the Paris Empire in the dust of history.
No matter what, the Paris Empire must not die at my hands!" Emperor Paris clenched his fists tightly and his knuckles gurgled secretly, and even if he was in pain, he had to make a decision to compromise with the Principality of Pritz. I thought that with the accumulation of several lifetimes, it would be enough to shock the world and re-establish the majesty of the Paris Empire, but I didn't expect to meet the Archduke Leo who was born out of nowhere.
Leo, who is so talented in military affairs that it is simply outrageous, is like the nemesis of the Paris Empire, whether it is from the frontal battlefield or the spy secret war, the Paris Empire does not know how much it has suffered, and has never taken advantage of Leo. Even Princess Sophia's initiative to ask for marriage and peace regardless of her face was rejected by Leo, which made Emperor Paris, who was arrogant and bent on creating an immortal cause, extremely ashamed, but Leo was helpless.
"How can there be so many elite legions, how can there be so many elite legions, how can a mere city of Pritz have so many soldiers? Could it be that his soldiers all appeared out of thin air? Is he really the darling of the gods, as rumored to be?"
Emperor Paris's venting thoughts had guessed some of Leo's secrets, but unfortunately, such an idea was considered absurd by Emperor Paris himself, and after only a little bit of it turned in his mind, he put it out of his mind and didn't think about it anymore. As an emperor, he must make his own decisions in court discussions, and even if his courtiers are incompetent, he cannot follow the crowd.
