Lorna's irony made the Far Eastern envoy show an angry face, and he exuded a strong sense of oppression, and scolded: "This is a humiliation of my dynasty!" Every word you say, I will truthfully convey it to the emperor! ”

Lorna was very stiff and pushed back directly: "You pass." If you miss a word, you're a puppy. ”

"Lona." Just as the atmosphere was a little intensified, Pertheus interrupted the two of them, his face expressionless and unrecognizable, but he beckoned to Lorna, signaling that she could retreat.

Lorna glanced coldly at the Far Eastern envoy and retreated to her place, her face full of indifference, while Sting kept sighing secretly.

Pertheus asked lightly, "Are you finished?" ”

The Far Eastern envoy replied with his head held high: "That's it." ”

Pertheus made a gesture of invitation, and his tone was very calm: "Arrange food and lodging for Mr. Messenger, and entertain him well." ”

Before being taken away by the imperial guards, the Far Eastern envoy asked: "Your Majesty, when will you give me an answer?" ”

Pertheus: "I'll know later." ”

"Okay, take care, Your Majesty." The envoy from the Far East saluted Percius and strode away, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Ministers, look at me, and I look at you, all pondering Perseus's thoughts.

Sting grabbed Lorna's arm and kept whispering, while Lorna looked like she was iron-headed, all the scolding went in and out of her left ear, and she had no remorse for what she had just said.

Pertheus did not praise Lorna's remarks, nor did he criticize them as if nothing had happened, making it unclear what his attitude was.

Perseus stood up from the king's throne, his gaze swept over the faces of the ministers, and said slowly: "Members of the Imperial Council, come to Conference Room No. 1, and the three princes and princesses will observe." ”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help muttering, the "Imperial Council" is the highest-level decision-making meeting in Doguland, and unlike the "Royal Council" with a large number of members, the Royal Council has a small number of people, led by the king himself, and the rest of the councilors are all royal blood relatives, and they can only be royal blood relatives, even a prince with a different surname like Lorna cannot attend the meeting.

This provision was intended to keep the final decision-making power firmly in the hands of the royal family, so as to guarantee the absolute authority of the ruler.

The form of the Imperial Council is also different from other meetings, and the Imperial Council can make proposals and decisions on a single matter, or it can review the proposals of other meetings at different levels, symbolizing the supremacy of Doguland.

Attending the Imperial Council is actually an opportunity for the prince's heirs to familiarize themselves with government affairs, and let them know about a proposal that affects the situation in the kingdom, from the concept, to the draft, to the vote, and finally to be rejected or finalized for implementation... What kind of process it is.

In the past, it was rare for the prince's heirs to observe the royal council, and the second prince Andre often attended, and Bolton was less frequent because he was away from home all year round.

And for Solandale, this is the first time.

What puzzled everyone was that Solandale was so young, only 14 years old after the New Year, and was not yet an adult, why was she appointed by Perseus to attend the royal meeting so early?

Like Andre, he was 24 years old when he first attended the Imperial Council, and Solandale was 10 years before him.

Perseus let such a young daughter listen, and he doesn't know what kind of political signal is hidden in it...

Solandale herself was a little confused, but after last year's baptism at the "56th Kingdom Plenary Meeting", she was not nervous, and stood up very obediently to keep up with Perseus.

The council was composed of King Pertheus himself, plus eight princes of the royal family, who sat around the round table in Room 1, while André, Burton, and Solandale sat in the corner auditors.

André moved to Solandelle's side and whispered to her, "Ninth sister, the first time you attended the Imperial Meeting, you must remember!" We are observers, just listen, don't make a fuss, and don't give your opinion casually—you can't answer unless your father asks you personally. If you speak indiscriminately, you will make a bad impression on others, you know? ”

Solandale nodded slightly.

After all the councillors arrived, Perseus got straight to the point: "What do you think about what happened in Twilight City, and the four demands made by the envoys from the Far East?" ”

"Chancellor of the Exchequer" Bao Erdian coughed lightly, looked sideways at the three princes and princesses who were listening, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, I think the other three points are okay to say, about sending a prince and princess to Gyeonggi as a proton, this point cannot be easily agreed, the three highnesses are all pillars of the kingdom, and they cannot be sacrificed." ”

Another prince raised concerns: "However, the envoy from the Far East has just said that the four conditions are indispensable. ”

Bao Erdian smiled: "That's just a superficial statement. The reason why conditions are conditions is because they can be negotiated is called conditions, and those that cannot be talked about are called 'orders'. If we can make some concessions elsewhere, on the matter of protons, I believe that the Far East will also make concessions. ”

Bolton suddenly snorted coldly: "What do you mean?" Are you acquiescing to the fact that the other three conditions are acceptable? Don't those conditions sound ridiculous? A Far Easterner, on our soil, humiliated our compatriots, and finally suffered a death of retribution, and instead demanded reparations from us? What is the rationale for this? ”

Bao Erdian said in a reassuring tone: "His Royal Highness the prince is angry, if it was just an ordinary Far Easterner, of course he would not have caused such a big incident, but the person who died now is Ye Lingchen, the emperor of the Far East, this is already an extremely serious diplomatic accident." ”

Bolton's expression was very dissatisfied: "What a diplomatic accident!" This matter is clearly caused by the person surnamed Ye first, and he deserves it! Now the Far East is putting on a posture of asking for sin, who is it for? ”

"I think Lorna was right to say yes to the terms? Phew, it's good to let them agree without opening conditions, the prince of the Far East has no way to teach his son, and he is embarrassed to rely on us, who is afraid of whom if he really fights. ”

Perseus frowned and scolded, "I didn't let you speak, just sit and listen." ”

Burton rolled his eyes and said no more.

Bao Erdian pondered for a moment and said: "Now that the Far East has mobilized a million troops, and the soldiers have burned to the desert, this is not a bluff, but a real sword and a real gun to raise the teacher and ask for guilt." ”

"If we fight, it will not be easy for us to explain to the people, because it is true that we killed the other party's emperor and grandson first, and we are morally unstable."

"Secondly, the kingdom's treasury has been empty in recent years, and this year it has experienced the "Danyu City Incident", so many strategic reserves have been transferred out, and now is the time to recuperate, if such a big war is suddenly fought, I am afraid it will not be good for the country's fortunes."

Hearing this, Solandale unconsciously bit her lower lip, raised her fist, and looked at Bauerdian angrily, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.
