Once the final ownership of the Eastern Kingdom is finalized, Vina needs to return to Victoria immediately.

What will greet her will be a war without gunpowder.

....

For Vina, Xia Feng is her lover and her dependence.

But for the National Assembly and the high-ranking officials of the Empire, the name Xia Feng meant a lot.

Victoria officially announced Xia Feng's death half a year ago, but it was later revoked by Vina's personal order, and everyone knew that Xia Feng was not dead.

To Victoria's millions of infected, Summerwind was undoubtedly the hero of the end of the Dark Ages.

For ordinary citizens, Xia Feng was also forcibly glorified as a positive figure by the king.

But in the eyes of those high-ranking officials who really control the direction of a country, there is no so-called hero at all.

The human heart is the most difficult to see, especially a person who does not understand, no one can be sure of this person's position, even if it can be at a certain point in time, it does not mean forever.

Because people's hearts change.

Aside from Vina, who is the king, Victoria's top brass knows only one thing.

Xia Feng has the ability to command the infected to bring down an empire, and has already put it into action, and the result has been successful.

A person with this ability, in order to be praised as a hero, must meet two conditions.

One, he is a member of the Victorian royal family.

Second, all his interests were bound to the inextricable nature of the Victorian Empire.

Unfortunately, neither of these conditions has been met at this time.

....

First of all, he is not a member of the royal family, not even an Aslan.

Secondly, he has now separated from the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce in China, and the sandworm business is open to the world, and now he has become the governor of Yandong under the command of Yan Guo.

From an objective point of view, his relationship with Vina seems to be bound to the interests of the empire, however, this is just an invisible card.

If it is a royal princess, a prince who is not in line to the throne, etc., may be allowed to so-called free love.

But the marriage of the king is impossible to "mess around" in any case.

If Vina dares to announce that she is going to marry Xia Feng, it is estimated that 99 out of 100 people in the upper echelons of the empire will jump out against it, and the only one who is in favor is Nanfeng, who is the chief of military affairs.

If nothing else, even the chief executive, Yarlin, would be against it.

And taking a step back, his relationship with Vina must not be made public, to be precise, not at this point in time, otherwise, Yan Guo will think that he has been tricked.

Just imagine, the governor of Yandong under the command of Emperor Yanguo is actually the "husband" of King Victoria.

Isn't this almost equivalent to throwing feces directly on the face of the Emperor of Yanguo, which is purely disgusting.

....

Xia Feng knew very well that the decisions made by Vina privately regarding the affairs of the Eastern Kingdom would be difficult to be accepted by the National Assembly and the Victorian leadership.

The only solution is that he can bring visible benefits to Victoria after he becomes the governor of Yandong, so that he will not live up to the loss of ceding the eastern kingdom.

Of course, this is no problem for him, no matter what others think, anyway, he himself will always wear the same pants as Victoria.

But the premise is that he can secure the position of the governor of Yandong.

.....

Back on the south coast, Vina prepared to return to Victoria.

There is no longer unnecessary private communication, because they both know that the beauty of the moment will eventually pass, and the road after that can determine the future life.

Sending Vena to the dock, everyone's expressions were a little inexplicably low.

Although it is not a life and death, and it is not something that will never be seen, but a carefree day like this period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to reproduce it in a short time.

Vina looked at the group and smiled lightly.

"Hey, don't be so depressed, you can go back to Victoria at any time, I promise, no matter how busy I am, I'll find time to leave the palace, and remember to come to see me in Lentinium."

With that, Vena looked at Xia Feng alone.

"You too, after the Governor's conferral is over, you can also go back to Victoria, after all, it is also your hometown, and there are many of your friends there, and after a year, you need to visit them."

At the end, Vina added in a voice that could only be heard by two people.

"And come back to see me."

In order to alleviate the depressed atmosphere of separation, Xia Feng showed a bright smile.

"Of course, I will definitely go back, I miss my barbecue restaurant and my good neighbors in Hyakki Street."

"Yes."

At this moment, Legion Commander Terreg coughed lightly beside him.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get ready to get on board."

Vina nodded.

"Okay."

Looking at the back of Vina who was about to turn around, Xia Feng wanted to hug her again, but the high-profile occasion at the moment did not allow him to do so.

was reluctant to give up, but turned into a light call.

"Vina..... Wait for me. ”

....

The meaning of this "wait for me" was far deeper than literal, and hearing Xia Feng's determination, Vina suddenly leaned into his arm before turning around.

The two bodies didn't touch, and Vina just pressed into his ear and whispered.

"Xia Feng, in fact, I am not as strong as I seem, I want to be someone's wife more than the king above 10,000 people, for me, work hard, this is the path you choose, I support you, when the time is right, I will not hesitate to give up the identity of the king, at that time, you must be responsible."

Straightening up, Vina waved in the sunlight to all the parting partners.

"I'm leaving, goodbye everyone!"

With that, she turned around in a dashing manner and boarded the royal ship without hesitation.

....

Tyregor, who was carrying the golden sword, stood in front of Xia Feng and admonished with a serious face.

"I will keep your relationship with Your Majesty, but you must be aware of the heavy responsibility of this responsibility, and you must also understand what Your Majesty has done for you, Xia Feng, you are no longer a gangster in the south, nor is you simply the president of the Chamber of Commerce, you are a bridge between Victoria and the Yan Kingdom, and you must be cautious."

Xia Feng raised his eyebrows.

"Legionnaire, are you teaching me how to do things?"

"You kid ....."

"Alright, stop the ink, the ship is leaving."

Knowing that Xia Feng was joking on purpose, Terreg shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.

.....

"Woo~"

With a low whistle of the boat, Vina was gone.

Watching the ship disappear at the end of the sea level, Vina's last words have been echoing in Xia Feng's heart.

Finally giving up the status of king is not a whim of Vina's words, but something she has been doing.

It is also the last wish of the old King Willanson, on his deathbed.

...

In the era of rapid development of source stone technology, if Victoria is to unite and maintain its status as a world power, the stale monarchy must be eliminated.

Otherwise, Verin is the best example.

Of course, it is impossible for Vina to follow in the footsteps of Verin, but the inheritance of an empire will continue forever, and no one can guarantee that future monarchs will not appear such extreme people.

Therefore, after succeeding to the throne, Vina has been diluting the imperial power, abolishing the aristocracy, and building and perfecting a democracy such as the National Assembly.

Someday, she will be made to become a mere name, not a synonym for rights.

At that time, she can do what she wants with peace of mind.

Like, being someone's wife.
