Chapter 313: Good Expectations
readx;
Arnia put down the letter in her hand, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her delicate face. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
As the current lord of Casella, Arnia Filas is not very capable, she is not a proper politician, nor is she a qualified lord. In fact, the original lord of Casella was her husband, Leonard Casella. Unfortunately, when the Sith Empire's invasion of Orrut began a year ago, her husband responded to the kingdom's call and left his newly married wife behind to lead his army to the front line to fight the Sith Empire, never to return.
As the daughter of a nobleman, of course Arnia knows what this means, she has only been married for less than half a month, and she has lost her husband forever, and there are no heirs left between the two, which makes Arnia not even have a way to get spiritual comfort, but even so, she still gritted her teeth and persevered, with the help and support of her retainers, she worked hard to run the city.
But in fact, Arnia is not the kind of woman who is ambitious, she has no great interest in dominating a city, and she is not willing to do such a job. Because of this, when the Sith Empire occupied Orut, Arnia's heart was relaxed for a while, and she originally thought that she would soon be relieved of this imposed position, but for some reason, after the Sith Empire occupied this border area, it did not remove Arnia from her position, but everything was as usual, without the slightest intention of changing.
This troubled the noblewoman very much, but even so, for the sake of her family and her own people, Alnice was still trying, but even she herself was very confused, and did not know when this life would end.
It was only then that a rebellion broke out.
The Sith Empire's army was defeated and evacuated from the city centered on the city of Casella, and in the face of such a situation, Arnia was at a loss, she originally thought that being occupied by the Sith Empire was a fact that could no longer be changed. But now, the withdrawal of fascist imperialism has once again left Arnia with a dilemma.
What should I do?
Although you are the lord of the city, Arnia cannot make her own decisions, and the opinions of the retainers are very clear, since the Sith Empire has retreated, then they no longer need to obey the orders of the other party, and at this time, the city of Cassella should cheer up and unite with the rebels to launch an attack on the Sith Empire. And their reasons are also very sufficient, Casella City is the largest city in the vicinity, and the resources are also the most sufficient, although the original situation of the rebels is not clear, but now they have united with the Knights of the End, then the victory or defeat can be said to be five or five, in this way, if Casela City can become the first ally of the rebels, then when the kingdom of Orrut recovers in the future, their status, identity and rewards will be very rich.
It was not that Arnia had not considered these things, but it was not the bright prospects and future depicted by her retainers that prompted her to make up her mind, but the noble lady still clearly remembered that a year ago, her beloved husband chose to leave his home to fight in order to resist the invasion of the Sith Empire, and now, as his wife, she must inherit her husband's legacy and continue to fight.
But just a few days ago, her retainers sent a worrying report.
In the report, her retainers said that the current food supply part of the city of Casella is limited, although it was true that they would provide food and material assistance to the rebels, but given the current size of the rebels, the amount of supplies they need is likely to be more than they can bear, so they hope that Arnia, as the lord of the city of Casela, can negotiate with the representatives of the rebels, make their situation and position in this regard, and make a detailed agreement to determine the amount of supplies for both sidesγ
This made Arnia in a dilemma, and at this moment, a letter came from the rebels, on which the names of Yuren, the head of the Knights of the End, General Shava, the commander-in-chief of the rebels, and Shirley, the princess of the Kingdom of Orrut, were prominently displayed. Obviously, they didn't come here to have tea and chat.
Eventually, Arnia made a decision.
There's no way she can't help but make a decision.
"I think it's going to be tough. β
Sitting in the carriage, Offariel whispered to Yuren, who was sitting across from him, as he quickly flipped through the information on Casella City that he had collected from Charlotte. According to the information provided by Miss Charlotte, the current food supply in the city of Casella can only guarantee a total of 100,000 people. The permanent population of Casella City was 60,000, and the number of our rebels was only 30,000 before, which was still an acceptable range for Casella City at that time. But now our number is close to 50,000, which is definitely not an acceptable figure for the city of Casella, because in this way, their grain can only ensure the next two months of the city's residents' reserves, and it is impossible to harvest the crops in two months, not to mention that it is still spring, and it will take a month to a month and a half for the soil to be suitable for growing crops until the spring frost is over, but if you want to buy food, the money you need to spend is not a small number........."
"So?"
Yuren withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl in front of him.
"So my suggestion is to reduce the number of soldiers and weed out some useless people in order to reduce our burden. Or we could suggest to the lord of Casela that Castle send some of them into the resistance, so I think they would be more willing to support us. β
Although this trip was nominally headed by Yuren, General Shawa and Princess Shirley, in fact, Shirley couldn't make any suggestions at all, and because of this, after coming to the Resistance, every proposal she made actually came from Ofaril behind the scenes. Since O'Faryl is the princess of West, it is impossible for her to participate in Orut's resistance in a dignified manner, so O'Faryl can only retreat into the background and start a "shady scene", but it is obvious that she does not mind, on the contrary, she enjoys such treatment.
"And what about the specific numbers?"
"I need to listen to you, Lord Yulen, after all, I have no experience in military affairs. β
O'Faryl confessed.
"I'll think about it, after consulting with General Shava. β
"I see. β
Although it is said that it is a tripartite force, neither of them put Shirley in it, and the reason is very simple, because it is actually O'Faryl who really makes the decision, and Shirley is just her mouthpiece, so the current situation is actually like this -- Yulian and O'Faryl first reached a consensus in private, and then proposed it to General Shawa in public, while O'Furiel would use Princess Shirley's mouth to put forward the proposal that he had already thought of, and then the three parties reached an agreement......... For General Shawar, this was a tragedy.
"But ........."
Saying this, Ofaril reluctantly picked up a stack of information beside him.
"Lord Yuren, why are you so interested in that city lord?"
"Isn't it very simple, she is a woman, and it is natural for men to be interested in women, isn't it?"
β............ You know I didn't mean that. β
"But that's what I meant. β
You Lian spread his hands innocently.
"You know, sometimes things that can't be negotiated on the table can be done in bed, right?"
β..................β
Looking at Yuren, who had a straight face, Ofaril opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. If it were an ordinary person, I was afraid that it would be a joke, but O'Faryl knew that the young man in front of him was probably very serious.
β...... Can you tell me why?"
"It's simple. β
Yuren nodded, then pulled out the information in Ofariel's hand and smiled.
"First of all, this lord is not a virgin. β
β............ My lord, I wish you had a more normal reason. β
"That's a normal reason, O'Faryl. β
Facing the reddish Ofaryl, Yulian was very calm.
"You don't have the experience, and you may not understand it, but when a woman tastes a man, she enjoys it. If she were an old virgin, I wouldn't have done that. If she hadn't taken pleasure in it, either she was cold, or she had been forced, but we know from the information of the lord that she had not been raped, and that she had a happy newlywed, and that she had no secret lover after her husband's death, then I am certain that she was very horny in this regard, and that at this time, she should light a fire...... Then it's interesting. β
β............ So, you mean to conquer the city of Casella by conquering this lady?"
Ofaril is not stupid, not to mention that she has lived in the palace all the year round, and she has never eaten pork or seen pigs run, and she has long been surprised by the kind of thing that Yulian said.
It's just ............ "Please let me tell you from the heart, Lord Yuren, I already know the goal of you and your subordinates, but this is really ........."
"Any questions?"
Yulen's eyes widened, and he looked at Ofariel in front of him suspiciously.
"We are fighting for this world, for this world not to be destroyed, we are all going to kill anyway, so why don't we relax and enjoy ourselves? Do we have to bear a heavy heart to suffer and blame ourselves? Anyway, we are all about killing, just be crisp, what's wrong with having fun, I have no interest in this boring masochistic behavior of finding guilt by myself. And what's wrong with my plan? That Lady Arnia's husband is dead, she is single now, I am interested and have the right to play with her, I want her flesh and support, and that Lady Arnia also wants to be nourished by a man, and both sides take what they need, and everyone is happy, and at that time, I am satisfied, the lady is satisfied, and the rebels are satisfied, is there anything wrong with such a good thing?"
β.......................................β
Ofaril rolled her eyes, in fact, she had almost suffocated to death after hearing Yuren's answer just now. What Euphariel said was too reasonable, and what made O'Faryl feel most depressed was that although it sounded like all this was crooked, there was no problem at all! It was true that the lady had been married, but now that her husband was dead, and that Euphari was not a man of love......... It's not interesting to reason with him at all.
"There is no problem, Lord Yulian, since you have already said so, then I have no problem!"
She almost gritted her teeth in reply, but then, Ofariel rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice.
"But, my lord, I'm curious what you plan to do......... Let the lord of the castle obey. β
"That's a man's little secret. β
Yuren blinked, not giving a clear answer, but it was clear that Ofariel wasn't expecting a detailed answer, or that she didn't want it either.
By the time they arrived at the Lord's Mansion in the city of Casela, it was already late in the evening -- and this was what the Lord of Arnia had requested, because she was going to have a dinner party to welcome the warriors who had resisted the Sith invaders, and after this dinner, all the people who could speak in Casela would appear. This is a good opportunity for Shawa to get closer to each other and make friends.
For Yuren and Shirley, it was just a visit, the former just to have fun, and the latter didn't care about the affairs of the rebels at all. Although she is nominally the real spiritual leader, Yulian knows very well that although General Shawa is quite welcoming to Shirley, he will never allow her to meddle in the affairs of the army, not because he is afraid of being seized power. After all, before this, Shirley was a greenhouse flower with no military experience, and she was not even as convincing as You Lianlai in this regard, after all, the latter also led the Knights of the Final Yan to sweep across the continent, not to mention their attitude, at least the military literacy.
It was clear that Madame Arnia was fully prepared to meet the heroes of the rebels, and as soon as the carriage entered the gates, countless petals and cheers came to the face, and the entire population of Casela gathered around the streets, enthusiastically cheering on the warriors who had helped them drive out the invaders. Although the nobles were very worried about the turbulent situation in front of them, and there were conflicts of interest at every turn. But for ordinary people, they obviously don't need to think about it so much, they just need to know that the damned group of aggressors who always show off their might in front of them are out, and all because of these few people in front of them! That's enough!
Under the cheers and embrace of the people, the three carriages slowly drove towards the City Lord's Mansion. And the flags on them also represent the identities of the three forces very well. The carriage in which Julien sits is naturally the sword and rose of the Knights of the Last Days, the carriage of General Shawa is the Eagle Banner (which has now become the symbol of the resistance), and Princess Shirley's carriage is the royal flag of the Kingdom of Orrut, of course, for the citizens of Orrut, this is more like a spiritual symbol, with the fall of the royal city, the royal flag of Orrut has long disappeared from their land, which seems to represent a symbol for the people of Orrut, symbolizing the decline and disappearance of a kingdom.
But, now it's back.
When the carriage stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion, when Princess Shirley stepped out of the car, she was greeted with great enthusiasm, although before this, many people only had the impression of this princess in their ears, and many people had never even heard of her name, but this did not prevent her from being so popular now.
Shirley was not surprised by the enthusiasm of these people, on the contrary, she smiled and waved at the crowd, which immediately caused many people to cheer even more enthusiastically, although there were many rumors in the market that the princess's deal with the Knights of the Last was a wolf into the house. But many people don't really care about this, after all, the Knights of the End are indeed powerful, people are like this, when a powerful force has nothing to do with you, you will curse it, curse it, fear it, and hate it, because it has nothing to do with you, and may even become a threat to you. But now it is different, the Knights of the End have made it clear that they will be on the side of the Kingdom of Orrut, which makes the citizens of the Kingdom of Orrut extremely excited, and the terrible stories of the Knights of the End have now become a source of confidence for them - with a powerful force that can destroy a country's capital in half an hour, what are we afraid of?
That's how people contradict each other.
As Julien stepped out of the carriage, he quickly saw Lady Arnia standing in front of him.
As rumored to have been, this lady was twenty-seven years old, and her plump, attractive body and immaculate white skin proved that she was well maintained, and of course, like all married women, her long golden hair was already curled up and coiled at the back of her head, and in fact it was the custom of the continent that unmarried girls had long hair that hung down, and only married women would have their hair coiled up. And this also shows Arnia's beautiful slender neck, and the luxurious evening dress sets off her plump and beautiful figure. Yuren lingered on her face for a moment, then swept towards the two alluring peaks in front of his chest -- his hand even involuntarily pinched it, and began to fantasize about the touch of mastering these two peaks.
But even so, Yuren's expression did not change in any way, instead, he stepped forward with a smile and reached out to take Lady Arnia's right hand. showed his aristocratic demeanor as always, and there was nothing out of his temper.
"On behalf of the city of Casela, I extend a warm welcome to you, Honorable Master of the Knights of the Last Age, Lord Yuren. β
"On behalf of the Knights of the End, I thank you for your hospitality, Lady Arnia. β
While smiling in response to the other party's words, Yulian squinted his eyes and stared at the radiant young woman in front of him.
It seems that tonight is indeed worth looking forward to.
