Chapter 314: The Dinner Party
readx;
When the invited rules and the minds of the various forces in the city of Casela walked into the banquet hall with all kinds of mixed feelings, they did not see the rumored three people, because at the moment they did not have time to introduce themselves to each other, and for them, there were more important things to do.

"On behalf of the Resistance, I thank you for your support of us, Dear Lady Arnia. ā
In a secret reception room, Shawa stepped forward with a solemn and respectful face and shook hands with Lady Arnia, dressed in fine clothes. Yulian and Shirley stood on his left and right, neither of them speaking. Yulian looked leisurely and bored, staring at the beautiful scenery in the garden outside the window. Shirley, on the other hand, stood by the wall with a proper smile and looked like a doll, as if she were nothing more than an ornament and a sculpture.
And this is precisely the three of them in their own way to make their position clear, Yuren's Knights of the Last Yan is an outsider, and it is definitely impossible to have command of the rebels. Although Princess Shirley is the representative of the Wang family, this rebel army is not organized by the Wang family, so she is not qualified to negotiate on behalf of the rebel army, and because of this, the two of them are standing on both sides leisurely, each doing their own thing. Lady Arnia seemed to understand this, and she smiled slightly, and then took the other's hand.
"Hello, General Shava. ā
"I think you know what we're here for. ā
After a brief chatter, Shava immediately got to the point, because he had already reached an agreement with Yulian and the others, but now he didn't know if it would go as smoothly as he thought.
"Yes, General Shava, of course I understand what you mean. ā
Hearing General Shava's words, Lady Arnia smiled and stretched out her hand, making a gesture inviting everyone to sit down, and then turned around and sat back down on the sofa opposite them. The smile on her face was calm and gentle, and there was nothing unusual to see, although this lady may have had a lot of doubts before starting, but judging from the current situation, it is clear that she has also made a decision.
"Frankly speaking, the current food supply in Casela City has not kept pace with the expansion of the rebels, although as the people of the Orrut Kingdom, we do have an obligation to give everything we have for the Orrut Kingdom. But I hope you understand that until then, I was the lord of a city, and I was responsible for my people. You are also well aware, General Shava, that it is the cold spring season, and that we will have to wait another month before we can start planting crops, and before that, we would have enough food to get through this time, but now it is not enough. If we really had to come up with 50,000 people to supply food, it would be very difficult for the people of Casella. ā
"Of course I understand what you mean, dear Lady Arnia. ā
Of course, General Shawar would not be an idiot to say that "since they are the subjects of the kingdom, then they must make sacrifices for the future of the kingdom", in fact, the original purpose of the rebels was to resist the invasion of the Sith Empire and protect the people of the kingdom of Orrut from their clutches to prevent them from being harmed. If they do that now, where will they put their face?
"As the commander-in-chief of the Resistance, I understand your concern for your own people, and I don't want such a problem to arise, so I have come to solve this problem. ā
At this point, General Shawa hesitated. Frankly speaking, Yulian's suggestion made him a little distressed, because Yulian demanded that he must be reduced to 20,000 at once, to maintain the resistance to the level of 30,000, and that all the old, weak, sick and disabled must be eliminated, which made Shawar very reluctant. You must know that the rebels have not been under the suppression of the Sith Empire for a long time, so few people will join them. Therefore, although the rebels have put a lot of effort into the absorption of personnel, they have not achieved much results. And now that the size of the army has increased so much at once, this immediately makes Shawar excited. It's like a poor man who suddenly gets a bag of diamonds, and although he doesn't know how to spend it, he will never throw it away.
But now although he has this heart, he doesn't have the strength, because Princess Shirley has already expressed his agreement with Yulian's opinion, and Shava himself knows very well that the current team is too bloated, and among the officers of the entire resistance army, he is the only one who has commanded more than 10,000 troops, and the rest of them have no such experience. Now let them lead this army of more than 10,000, I don't know what problems will arise.
So in the end, he also had to agree with Yu Lian's opinion and make this decision.
"We also believe that the current resistance forces are a bit outnumbered, so we have made the decision to reduce some of the soldiers who are not capable of fighting, and the number of these soldiers will probably be ........."
At this point, General Shava paused, calculated in his mind, and continued.
"It's probably going to be between 20,000 and 30,000 people, so I'm sure your city's supplies should be enough, and you don't need to worry about excess consumption. Of course, this is not the only way, if your city is willing to provide us with soldiers directly, then we can also make further reductions, after all, there are too many new recruits without combat experience in the rebel army, we need some veterans who have combat experience and react quickly, if your city can meet our requirements, then we can also reduce the number of soldiers by another 5,000 to 10,000. ā
"But ..............."
Hearing General Shava's answer, Lady Arnia frowned.
"General Shava, I do admit it's a good idea. But I still want to ask one thing, where are these people going when they are laid off?"
"This ............"
Hearing this, Shawa was stunned.
"With all due respect, it is true that if your rebels were able to reduce so many soldiers, there would be no problem with the supply of our city of Casella. But what will you do with these retrenched rebel soldiers? I have heard that they come from all over the towns and villages, and some of them have even taken many days to get here, and if that is the case, it will not be easy to get them to leave. ā
Although not particularly intelligent, Lady Arnia, with a woman's acumen, pointed out the central problem.
"This ............"
It was clear that General Shawa was a little ill-prepared for the question, though he was also troubled. However, in his opinion, the reduction of troops is an internal matter of the rebel army, and there is no need to consider external factors, but for now, it seems that this is not the case.
"In fact, we're ready. ā
And at this moment, Yulian put down the teacup in his hand, and took the words, he narrowed his eyes, showed a gentle smile peculiar to nobles, and looked at Lady Arnia in front of him.
"Although we have decided to reduce our troops, we are not going to drive them home as you think, in fact, while our rebels need to attack and win, a solid rear base is also indispensable. Therefore, we can only repatriate those soldiers who have been retrenched, if they are really ineffective. But if you have combat effectiveness and don't meet our standards, you can stay here and train. After all, our army is not static, the longer we fight, the more we need help from the rear, and these help does not only come from supplies, we are likely to need more soldiers, more manpower. And at that time, if we recruit soldiers on the spot as we do now, although it is not impossible, but in this way, there will be a run-in between the new recruits and the veterans, and they will not necessarily carry out our battle orders. So we need some of our own manpower -- this part of the reduced troops will not be temporarily brought to the front, but will stay here and train while repairing the forts. Oh, by the way, regarding the material problem of this part of the soldiers, there is no need for the city lord to care too much, the twilight forest is ready to provide supplies, but due to time problems, it will not be able to reach it in a short time. Although the large army can't wait, I think it's still too late to wait for the reduction of the remaining small troops. ā
"I see what you mean, Lord Yuren. ā
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lady Arnia's eyes, but she quickly came to her senses and nodded softly and gracefully to Yulian.
"It seems that you are fully prepared, and I see the sincerity that you have brought......... Now, let me think about it for one night and then give you a reply. ā
With that, Lady Arnia stood up and stretched out her right arm, which was as white as jade.
"Now, then, please enjoy the dinner to your heart's content. ā
For the rest of the year, no one talked about these "business" again, although Lady Arnia said that she needed to "think about it for one night", but Yuren and General Shawa in the room knew that in fact the lady of Casella did not have the authority to decide everything herself, that is, she had to first tell her retainers about the advice here, and then get their opinions, and finally make a decision.
However, Yuren is not worried that there will be problems, because he also has his own insurance measures.
The dinner hosted by Lady Arnia was no different from the gathering of the nobles in the usual days, starting with Lady Arnia expressing her gratitude to the warriors who had saved them from the shadows of the Sith Empire on behalf of the city of Casella, and then Princess Shirley taking the stage to give a speech on the royal family, for the country and the people, and at the same time calling everyone to unite and work together to attack the Sith Empire and resist their aggression (the manuscript was of course prepared by Ofaril in advance, and she is already happy to do this kind of thing now). Then it's time for the guests and hosts to have a good time, and Lady Arnia, as the host, will lead Princess Shirley and General Shawa to get to know the famous people in Casela, after all, the rebels will also need their assistance in all aspects, so they need to build a good relationship in advance. General Shawa was originally from an aristocratic background and was no stranger to this aspect of things. And although Princess Shirley is not smart enough to sort out the intricate interests of those intricate interests, the royal etiquette can at least make her superficial work without any problems, and that is enough.
As for Yulian didn't join in the fun, his Knights of the Last Yan had always been self-sufficient and didn't need any outside assistance, and the nobles also maintained a lot of reverence for the legendary head of the Last Knights, so when Yu Lian held the wine glass and said that he wanted to be alone, no one dared to come forward to disturb him without a long eye. On the contrary, those nobles had a tacit understanding to avoid him, and went to the rebel forces led by Shawa and Shirley.
At this time, Yulian walked to the corner of the hall with the wine glass in his hand, and then raised it with a smile.
"Miss Mary, why don't you go up and join in the fun?"
"Lordship........."
Mary was slightly stunned at the sound of Julien's voice, and then immediately turned to look at her. Today, she is not wearing a dress or something, but a uniform that is slightly better than the usual mercenary costume. Although this made her not particularly eye-catching in this feast, it was not a beautiful costume. And seeing You Lian walking towards her, a wry smile appeared on the mercenary girl's face.
"Frankly, I don't think it's much to make up, I'm just a mercenary, and I really don't have anything to talk about with those noble lords............ And ......" said this, Mary paused slightly. "I'm just here to protect Her Royal Highness Princess Shirley completely, and I can't be distracted. ā
Today, Mary's identity is still Shirley's bodyguard, since she had a conflict with the mercenary group before, she quickly accepted this identity, and this time to participate in the banquet, Shirley also took the initiative to ask her to come with her.
However, Mary didn't pay much attention to these small problems, and she immediately looked at Yuren.
"And what about you, my lord, why don't you go and enjoy it?"
"This is the Olut feast, and it has nothing to do with me. ā
Yulian raised his glass and leaned against the wall, staring at the noisy guests in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Their purpose is not mine, and my purpose is not theirs, so there is no need to deal with anything. I just came to see the play, and after watching the play, I was fine. ā
"Watching a play?"
"Yes, it's a good show, but I don't know if there will be the climax I was expecting. ā
Julien finished saying something that Mary didn't understand at all, and then raised his eyebrows and smiled with interest.
"Still, this may be too early for you, Miss Mary. ā
"I'm not a child anymore, my lord. ā
Mary puffed out her cheeks and replied with some dissatisfaction. If it was normal, she would never dare to talk to You Lian like this, but today may be because of the lively atmosphere in the banquet hall, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.
And just then, another voice sounded.
"No, Miss Mary is still a child. ā
With these words, Shirley appeared in front of the two, she looked at the mercenary girl beside her with a mischievous smile, and then turned to Yuren.
"Mr. Yuren, I can tell you a little secret about Miss Mary, and that is ........."
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm going to inspect the security work around the area. ā
Hearing this, Mary's face suddenly turned red, she coughed, interrupted Shirley's words, then turned around, saluted the two, and fled as if flying.
"Hoohoo ............"
Shirley chuckled as she watched Mary's fleeing back, and then she turned and leaned against Julien.
"Look, it's still a child. ā
"Why did you come to me?"
Yuren shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject.
"Those nobles should have a lot to say to you. ā
"I'll leave it to General Shawa. ā
Xue Li shook her head, then sighed.
"It's strange, I didn't think there was anything wrong with such a banquet before. But now, I'm a little tired of ............"
Saying this, Shirley raised her head, and on her white skin, You Lian could clearly see the pink flush.
"Lord Yulian, I seem to have drunk a little too much, can I go out and breathe?"
"Of course there is no problem. ā
Under the "cover" of Yulian, the two quickly left the lively banquet hall and came to the deserted rooftop inside, the spring evening breeze was still a little cold, but Shirley didn't seem to care about this at all, she just leaned on the railing and watched the night outside.
"Mr. Yuren, I don't think that's what I want. ā
"Oh?"
"Personally, the kingdom of Orrut has been destroyed, so let it be destroyed. I thought so, after all, I was just a little woman and couldn't do anything. But now, I finally understand that things are not so simple, in fact, my personal admission of whether the kingdom of Orrut is destroyed is meaningless, and there are many people who do not want the kingdom of Orrut to be destroyed, they do not want such an ending...... But now, it's up to me to endure it. ā
"This is the life of the royal family and the life of the ruler. ā
Yuren reached out and pressed Shirley's shoulder.
"If you go and talk to O'Faryl about this, I'm sure she'll sigh that she's met her bosom friend, and you know that she did so much for her country when she was alive, and it still doesn't make sense in the end. In fact, it is exactly what she does, because what others need her to do, not what she wants to do. But it's up to her, and so are you, and you have to sacrifice something to sit in this position. ā
"But I don't need this position. ā
Shirley turned, her shiny eyes quietly staring at Yuren.
"I don't want to lead anybody, I don't want to be a queen, it makes me feel tired and ...... I can't be as good as Miss O'Faryl, and even if she fails, then I don't have much confidence. ā
Saying this, Shirley slowly stretched out her hands and wrapped them around Yulian's neck.
"There is only one thing I could hope for. ā
Then, she closed her eyes and pressed them to Yuren's lips.
Wet, mixed and low moans crept through the night, and a moment later, the two separated.
"I just want to be your woman, Mr. Yuren, to give birth to a child for you with peace of mind, and to live a happy and peaceful life as now, instead of chatting and laughing with those nobles I don't know at some banquet, and not sitting on a luxurious throne to decide the fate of other people, I can't do it. ā
"Of course I know, it's only temporary. ā
Yulian reached out and gently stroked Shirley's slender waist.
"Everything is in my plan, you just have to do it according to my plan and you can get the life you want........."
"Yes, I will do what you want, Mr. Yuren........."
"So ............"
Saying this, Yulian paused for a moment, and then looked at the reddish face of the girl in front of him with a playful smile.
"Can't you take it anymore?"
ā..................... Yes, there is. ā
"Very well, then, turn around. ā
"Hey, here?"
Hearing Yu Lian's words, Shirley's eyes widened in surprise, but Yu Lian obviously didn't care.
"Of course, there's no one here now, everyone is eating, drinking, and having fun in the warm halls, so time is precious......... Here, do you want to do it?"
ā......... Of course, Mr. Yuren. ā
After hesitating for a moment, Shirley quickly turned around and reached out against the railing in front of her to support her body as Yulian asked, and then she immediately felt the warm palms easily pass through the skirt of her evening gown, caressing her legs.
"I didn't expect it to be wet. ā
Yu Lian gently stroked the delicate body of the girl in front of him, and said in her ear with a chuckle, which also made Shirley's already red face redder and redder.
"Mr. Yuren...... I............ Ah............h
Before Shirley could finish speaking, Yu Lian suddenly straightened up his waist and completely stifled Shirley's speech. The beautiful princess could no longer speak, she could only hold on to the railing in front of her, bite her lip hard, and withstand the storm coming from the man behind her. Bursts of violent impact came from her waist, without the slightest front tie, but the rough and direct attack made Shirley enjoy an unprecedented strong stimulation. At first, she was still forced to endure Yulian's aggression, but later, the girl involuntarily straightened her waist and began to respond and cater to Yulian's movements.
"Hmm......... Well......... Hmmm............"
While caressing Xue Li's soft breasts, Yu Lian lowered his body, panting lightly and enjoying the snow-white flesh in front of him. But even so, he didn't forget to pick on the other party.
"Don't make a sound, Shirley, don't forget, you're still the princess of the kingdom of Orrut, what do you think they'd think if you made a voice and let those people hear?"
"Uh-huh!!hmm......!!"
Hearing Yu Lian's words, Shirley's body suddenly tensed, the extreme nervousness and the reminder brought by Yu Lian's words made her extremely excited, of course she understood what this meant, and she also knew what it would become once things were exposed. But because of this, she is now more and more addicted to it, her body has begun to become numb, the waves of happiness that hit her brain hit one after another, and the only remaining reason is like a sculpture on the beach, washed by the waves, gradually falling apart.
"More intense, please, Mr. Yuren...... I...... I'm going to break, I'm going to break down...... Whew!!"
Shirley had involuntarily removed the hand that had been placed on her mouth to block it, her reason gradually crumbled, leaving only the instinct of pleasure, and just as she was about to shout, Yulian suddenly stretched out his finger and blocked her mouth. This rough action made Shirley more and more excited, her body began to twitch involuntarily, trembling, and then in the next moment, the girl suddenly puffed up her chest, tightly grasped Yu Lian's hand, her body couldn't stop shaking, her legs were also trembling slightly, and under the light of the moon, you could vaguely see the viscous and white liquid dripping down between the girl's legs, just drop by drop to the ground.
Then, like a puppet with a severed thread, the girl collapsed into Yuren's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
"It's exciting. ā
Looking at Shirley who was already asleep in his arms, You Lian couldn't cry or laugh a little, he originally hoped to enjoy a few more moments, but he didn't expect Shirley to be so fragile and unable to withstand the stimulation, and reached the brink of collapse after only one time......... But since this is already the case, then Yulian has no choice, he shook his head helplessly, and then rearranged his and Shirley's clothes. Since Her Royal Highness the princess was tired, he sent her directly to the guest room to rest. However, Yulian clearly had no intention of ending his night so soon.
"Goodnight, then, my princess. ā
He whispered in Shirley's ear, then looked up into the hallway in the distance. And right there, a figure moved slightly, then quickly turned and disappeared into the darkness of the hallway.
The rest is the show.
(To be continued)
