Chapter 417: Calculation

Fat Shi left, and since Lorist had decided to carry out the agreement reached, he was going to prepare, so he refused Lorlist's request to keep him for dinner, and left in a hurry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As the administrator of the Norton family, Info has a lot of things to do, but he can't be a hands-off shopkeeper by making decisions like Lorlist.

But what Lorist didn't expect was that Fat Shi came back as soon as Princess Celivia left, looking angry. Lorist was surprised, she thought that Princess Celevia would come back very late, and she should have dinner with her godmother, Cindy Archswordsman, anyway, and what happened to her so annoyed look?

This will Princess Sirivia shrunk herself in Lorlist's arms and hugged Lorist tightly, crying silently and aggrieved like a lost child, which made Lorist feel distressed, no matter how to say that Princess Celevia's psychology has been traumatized and very fragile, what Lorist is most afraid of is what kind of psychological illness she will suffer.

After coaxing and comforting for a long time, Lorist learned the truth of the matter from Princess Celevia's mouth. It turned out that after the Cindy Swordsman and Princess Celevia got together, she said to Princess Celevia that she accepted the Second Highness as an apprentice in the imperial capital and guided her to be successfully promoted to a first-class Archswordsman just to find a good husband for Princess Celevia, and the Cindy Archswordsman thought that the Second Highness was a very good object, with a noble status, a prominent reputation, a prominent family background, and a high level of self-cultivation, and more importantly, he was the king of the Antinac Kingdom。

It's just that what the Great Swordsman of Xiandi didn't expect was that at the most critical moment when His Royal Highness was promoted to the Great Swordsman, the news came that Lorist was about to marry Princess Celivia. This took the Immortal Great Swordsman by surprise. The previous year, I received news that a great war had broken out between the four alliances of the Northlands and the forces of the Fisabrun family, and that the Iberian kingdom had fallen. The great swordsman of Cindy is still very happy, and now his precious adopted daughter, Princess Celevia, should finally die. But what is the matter with the marriage of Lorist now? This is not a joke, and the stickers have been sent to the palace.

The great swordsman of Cindy was puzzled, and in the end he could only blame the Norton family for oppressing the Fisabrun family to marry Princess Celevia to Lorist. It's just that she has no time to clone at that moment, otherwise she must have killed herself in the Northland to save her poor treasure from the clutches of Lorlist. So now that the Great Swordsman of Cindy has met Princess Celevia, he regrets that she has lost the opportunity to become Queen of Antinac, and is very annoyed why the Fisabrun family can't hold out for another year......

It's just that Princess Celivia is happy now, and she doesn't care about the queen's throne, and she is already satisfied with Lorliste. Seeing her godmother, who has been attached since she was a child, of course, she told everything without any scheming, including all the cold treatment and bullying she suffered in the family, and the feeling of being abandoned by the family when she was given to Lorist by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, and how Lorist treated her well, restored her health and married her, etc......

The more he listened, the more angry he became, and he dared to think that all this was done by that old immortal, so he grabbed Princess Celevia and went to Archduke Fisabrun to settle accounts. Princess Celivia did not want to go to see the Grand Duke of Fisabrun and was dragged over, and then the two old men and women quarreled.

Princess Celivia withdrew and stood at the entrance of the hall, listening to the noise inside, she felt uncomfortable, and deliberately stayed away. As a result, at this time, she met her cousin Queen Sisi who led people to visit the Rose Palace, was ridiculed in front of many people, and forced Princess Celivia to greet her by virtue of her status as the queen of the Antinac Kingdom. Princess Celivia couldn't stand this anger, and ran back after giving her a slap on the spot. On the way back, the more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, so I found Lorist to be coquettish.

Lorist laughed after listening to Princess Celevia's story: "Baby, just don't suffer a loss, no matter what, you have already slapped that queen and earned ......"

"But, but my cousin is now the queen...... "Princess Celivia is afraid."

"What about the queen, she will be beaten. "Lorist didn't take it to heart at all, His Second Highness now needs the support of the four alliances of the Northland to attack the four principalities in the middle of the country, so that he won't offend Lorist at this time, like his iron-blooded and ruthless character will not take that Queen Sisi to heart, the matter of drawing a sword for the sake of a beauty will not happen to him, a king, and he is a small first-class great sword master, is he qualified to draw a sword in front of him?

"Your Highness, His Majesty the King is here. Genorio reported at the door.

Genorio said that His Royal Highness looked angry, but he only brought two guards with him. Well, think about it, my wife was slapped in the face and lost face in public, as a husband, even if he has a bad relationship with this wife, he has to stand out. It's inconvenient to find Princess Celivia, so I can only come to Lorist to settle accounts.

Loris nodded and said please. Then he patted Celivia's little ass and said, "You avoid it first, I will help you solve this matter, you can hold on a little longer at night and reward me......"

Princess Celivia blushed and twisted Lorist out of the study. After a while, I heard a sound of "Teng Teng Teng" footsteps, and His Royal Highness strode in.

Lorist didn't really stand up to greet him, still sitting on the chaise longue, but just stretched out a palm to preemptively strike: "Fifty catapults, this matter is over, what do you think?"

"Uh......" The Second Highness immediately understood what Lorist meant: "One hundred, I'll treat it as if it didn't happen." ”

"Huh. Lorist smiled and shook his head: "It's only fifty cars, and your queen is not worth the price of a hundred." ”

"No, no matter how you say it, she is also the queen of the kingdom, my wife, I don't have a hundred catapults as an apology, so I'm not too faceless?"

Lorist took his hand back: "Okay, fifty cars are gone." Draw the line whatever you want, and I'll take it all over. If you want to turn your face, just say it. ”

His Royal Highness was stunned, and after a while, he was furious: "Locke, what do you mean, why don't you follow the routine?"

"What kind of routine?" asked Lorist curiously.

"Isn't it supposed to bargain, and then we will take a middle number to make a deal, so that everyone can get off the stage with face. How do you say that if you turn your face, you will turn your face?"

Lorist laughed and said, "There are only fifty catapults, and there is no more." You should understand that these fifty cars are only given for your face, if it is someone else, do you think I will apologize?"

"Well, fifty is fifty. His Royal Highness knew very well that this was already Lorlist's bottom line, but he was still a little unwilling: "Why don't you go over and slap her again and get me a hundred catapults." ”

Lorist smiled dumbly and shook his head: "These fifty catapults plus the cooperation of the White Lion Legion are enough for you to capture several cities and fortress castles in the Central Four Duchies." You can't be too greedy. Besides, I don't bother to slap your wife. Speaking of which, you should give me a reason, a reason to break up with my cousin......"

His Royal Highness sighed and sat down: "Bring me a glass of wine." ”

Genorio gave him a bottle of cider and exited the study, closing the door. Lorist took the wine bottle, poured himself a glass first, drank it all, and then handed the rest of the wine to His Royal Highness. The Second Highness took the wine, didn't use the glass, and directly raised his head to the bottle mouth, "gurgling", and drank it all in one go. After putting down the bottle, he burped and let out a sigh before saying, "I'm sorry Chrisia......"

"Of course you are sorry for her, she has followed you since she was eighteen years old, and now for nearly twenty years, she has been charging for you, leading troops to fight for you, and serving you at night. A woman's best years of youth have been given to you. Even if you are jealous of our Norton family, you should understand how loyal she is to you. I just didn't expect you to give up when you said give up, so let her go. I really despise you, my Majesty, and I find myself very wise not to cooperate with you, otherwise we will be discard......ed by you as rags when our Norton family loses the right to be used by you," Lorist sneered coldly.

"You can't blame me for that. His Royal Highness retorted, since Lorist had already said it so bluntly, he didn't mind tearing off his mask and telling the truth: "Your Norton family is so strong in armament, it is easy to attack the city and destroy the country, but you refuse to help me unify the former empire." If you are the king, I am afraid that the measures you will take will be more drastic, and I think I have been very generous and have been tolerating you, and you yourself say, in such a situation, can I make Christia queen?"

"But, Your Majesty, we of the Norton family have never been interested in the throne under your ass, and you should know that. And our Norton family's hundred-year heritage motto illustrates this, we are loyal to you because you are the only orthodox heir of the Krisson royal family, and you also know that I have no ambitions, I just want to develop the family territory and live a good life, so your jealousy is very unfair to us......" Lorist frowned and defended himself.

"No, no......" The Second Highness shook his head again and again: "Locke, I know you have no ambitions, but I still have to guard against it." If I marry Chrisia as queen, as the most powerful Northland Grand Duke in the kingdom, you will still involuntarily meddle in the internal affairs of the royal family, and as Chrisia's relatives, the Norton family will be her support no matter what. You can guarantee your loyalty to the Kingdom, but you can't guarantee the loyalty of your children and grandchildren, as well as your subordinates, to the Kingdom, or even that they don't have Kingdom ambitions. As a king, I have to see further and think more......"

"So you marry the woman of the Fisabrun family as your queen, and you want to use the Fisabrun family to contain us? Would you rather give up Chrisya, who has been following you for nearly twenty years?" asked Lorist faintly.

His Royal Highness smiled bitterly: "I don't deny that there is this idea, but the real reason is to let the Fisabrun family return to the kingdom, and bring the two border provinces of the former empire back to the kingdom, and let the Fisabrun family send troops to fight for me in the central four principalities." Locke, you know that my dream and only wish is to re-establish a mighty empire, to unify the former Krisson Empire, and to make my name in history.

Marrying a woman from the Fisabrun family as queen was my answer to the request of the Archswordsman of Cindy, and only then could she convince the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. The original choice for the queen was Princess Celivia, but I didn't expect you to move so fast, so I chose one at random, and I didn't care who she was. This is not love, I told Chrisia that this is the price to be paid for the unification of the empire, and that I can marry her as a princess if she wants to. But she rejected me and left me.

Do you think I'm not sad in my heart, but I can't help it. You have been reluctant to help me, and I can only seek help from the Fisabrun family. With the 150,000 men and horses of the three legions in my hands, I can't destroy the four principalities in the middle, so I must rely on external forces. The Fisabrun family dispatched two legions this time, plus the troops dispatched by the four alliances of your northern lands, it is more than enough to destroy the four principalities in the central region. Having recovered these eleven provinces and working hard for another three years, I will be able to reclaim those occupied territories from the Business Alliance. ”

"Alas......" Lorist sighed, he suddenly felt that His Royal Highness was actually a little pitiful, in order to unify the former empire, he was almost stunned, so he did not hesitate to bear the notoriety and slaughter those traitorous nobles. sacrificed his love just to get the support of the Fisabrun family. It's just that the Tao is not the same, if it weren't for the alliance of the four families in the Northland, he really didn't want to send troops this time. Forget it, let's do him one last time.

"Well, I'll help you attack the Four Central Duchyes this time and end your desire for revenge. But I ask you not to dictate the strategy of our four Northland Alliances, and it's up to us to decide how to attack. I can only guarantee that we will not avoid the war and delay the warplanes, and I hope that you will not hold us back. Lorist said.

His Royal Highness smiled, stretched out his palm and struck at Lorist: "A word is a certainty!"

This time, His Royal Highness was very satisfied with his gain, and refused Lorlist's kind words to invite him to dinner together, saying that he would go back to the Rose Palace to comfort and comfort Queen Sisi who had been slapped in the face. As he was leaving, Lorist finally couldn't help but ask him another question: "Do you think you can really subdue that old fox in Fisabrun?"

His Royal Highness smiled brightly: "With your Norton family here, why should I worry about this problem......

Looking at the back of His Royal Highness in the distance, Lorist smiled bitterly and shook his head, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, they are calculated to death, and they know that the most vigilant person is still the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, so they let the Fisabrun family go without any scruples. Because he knew very well in his heart that if the Fisabrun family wanted to run up, he would definitely slap them hard, so now the Fisabrun family can only hold his thighs firmly in order to have a little hope of rising again. Inadvertently, he became a knife in the hands of His Second Highness, a knife specially used to threaten the Fisabrun family......
