"Don't worry, Artoria woke up late. ”
In a room that was temporarily cleared out. Lilianu and Egil sat opposite each other. Two cups of cocoa, a few plates of pastries, a plate of omelets and a little meat, a vegetable salad make up a simple breakfast. The two of them were talking while eating. It's just that Egil noticed that Lilianu always looked at the door unconsciously. While looking at it, he also subconsciously touched the Persian-style wave-shaped short sword on his waist. It looks like he's always ready to fight with people.
This made Egil cry and laugh a little, and after a little thought, the emperor figured out what was going on. Hence the saying. In front of the other girl, Rao is Egil's skin is as thick as a city wall, and he doesn't dare to call Artoria by Hani. So I just called the name.
"Hmph......" Hearing Egil say this, Lilianu's face turned red. Bow your head and eat hard. Eat too quickly and choke, choke when you choke, and then choke too quickly and choke again. The cough is terrible.
So it's really cute.,This kind of girl who usually seems very shrewd once she shows a feeling like this.。 It's unbearable. Thinking so, Egil walked up to Lilianu, patted her on the back, and when Lilianu's coughing was quiet, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Really, I'm not a child. After being treated like this by Egil, Lilianu's face turned even redder. He muttered quietly, but he didn't mean to resist.
"In my eyes, you are a child. I'm going to spoil you like that. Egil whispered as she pressed to Lilianu's ear.
"Stupid, stupid......" Egir said something like this. Lilianu only felt dizzy. His body suddenly went limp, leaning on Egil's chest, allowing Egil to lower his head and wrap his arms around her neck, his hands unhonestly kneading her chest. Seeing this scene, a group of maids who were waiting next to them had already run as far as they could. Egil was on fire. I almost forgot what I had done yesterday. He was about to put Lilianu on the spot. I heard three knocks on the door outside. And then. Sonia is slightly neutral. A hoarse voice came.
"Master, Her Royal Highness is almost awake. Check it out. ”
This sentence made Egil sigh, and his failure to return all night had already made Artoria suspicious. She woke up and couldn't see herself, so she couldn't say she was going to make a fuss. That's not the case.
Egil thought to himself. On the other side, Lilianu was quite uncomfortable when she saw Egil's expression and heard the words coming from outside the door. However, Her Royal Highness the Princess is the Royal Highness of the Princess after all, and she is not coquettish like an ordinary fool. With a slight flick, he shook Egil's hand away. Straighten up your clothes. Apricot eyes whitened him. Take out the other fan on your waist and "brush" it open. It's as if nothing happened. said lightly: "Since that's the case." Your Majesty Egil, please go. The main palace will not bother. When he had said that, he turned his head to the other side and looked at him no more.
This made Egil feel very embarrassed. On one side is a new love, and on the other side is an old love. The mother's family is rich and powerful, and it is not easy to mess with. This is not openly opposed. It gave him a headache. What if one day both sides tear their faces......
Never mind. It's better to think less about this kind of thing. Egir shook his head, but without saying a word, he turned around and hugged Lilianu from the front and kissed him fiercely. Then turn around and leave. As he walked, he said, "In the morning, I passed when I was dealing with government affairs. Without waiting for Lilianu to reply, she raised her hand and pushed the door open and walked out. ...,
"There is a road ahead. Egil looked at Sonya, who was expressionless. I felt a little inappropriate in my heart. Originally, Sonia was not stupid, but she was not as shrewd as she is today. It's really hard to figure out......
In this way, Egil went to Artoria's dormitory, and quietly arranged for her to be breakfast. When Artoria woke up, she saw Egil's smiling face like a thousand trumpet flowers. A mouthful of Hani's, so that Artoria can't find the north. Wait until the two of you have finished breakfast. Artoria's usual practice is to practice swords. Egil excused himself to take care of the affairs and left. Seeing that Artoria didn't look strange at all, Egil knew that he was over. Immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After that, I went to work.
Now the Norman Empire has just conquered Central Italy. Played the Pope bad and made him a puppet. And to the west there is another France, which is still surviving. Burgundy, the rebellion of Britain was also to be put down. In the New World, the ocean-going trade fleet was full of money, and it looked like it was about to return. And in the Far East, there is a behemoth like Mongolia, which has to guard against it. Speaking of which, Egil really has a lot of business to deal with. However, it's okay to deal with this and that first. In this case, Egil took care of both public and private affairs, and first dealt with the affairs with the Eastern Roman Empire, which could be regarded as appeasing Lilianu, who felt left out.
However, at that time, Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu, who thought that Egil had asked her to go and still want to fall in love, was like being drenched in ice water after listening to what Egil said. Slap the table hard at Egil.
"What?!You want Naples?, Sicily?!You want Rome to cede all of South Italy to you?!Are you crazy?!
Egir's calculations crackled. But he is not satisfied with just guarding a small island in Malta in the Mediterranean. Rather, they were going to take over all of southern Italy. to increase the Empire's grip on the Mediterranean. At the same time, it can further affect Milan and Venice. More able to control the Holy See. However, there is a slight problem here—although the Empire was very successful in infiltrating southern Italy, and in the Eastern Roman Empire, there was no small call for the complete abandonment of Iberia and Italy to concentrate on Asia Minor. But no matter how you put it, it's a big piece of land. No one would be happy to give it away for no reason.
"Syria. Egil closed his eyes and said as if sleepwalking, "I will exchange Syria for it." At the same time, in the southern frontier of the empire, on the border with the Balkan Peninsula, I will retreat fifty miles and give you this part of the country. ”
"What?!" Lilianu was shocked to hear Egil say. That whole of Syria, including Damascus. This was Saladin's old book. The level of affluence is far from being comparable to that of the barren lands of southern Italy. It's just that I heard that Egil also cares a lot about that land. A lot of manpower and material resources were invested, and even tens of thousands of troops were newly formed to garrison there. At first, Lilianu thought that Egil was using Syria as a base to expand her territory in the Near East. But I didn't expect Egil to be so simple, and he threw it away.
"What the hell is your idea?" Lilianu asked, frowning.
"What can I do. Look at what you said. Egir smiled dumbly, but did not respond to Lilianu's words—now, in Babylon, the war between Aetius and the Mongols was over. The Roman general escaped with his life. And in the end, this guy didn't figure out what exactly he was fighting against. Although the general felt that this group of pagan enemies was very different from the Persians. But the arrogant Roman Empire did not think so. ...,
The recent victory in the war against Turkey has given the people of the empire a renewed hope. Perhaps, in the West, when Europe had such a formidable opponent as the Norman Empire, it would be a good idea to turn around and turn to the East, to open fire on the infidels, who had already been defeated once by the Crusaders and suffered heavy losses. Aetius' defeat at Babylon was ultimately attributed to supply and geography. Many Greeks thought that if we had a passage to Babylon by land or sea that could have been brought to Babylon in time, the outcome of the war might have been a different matter.
Such a statement, or excuse, is very much in line with the arrogance and inferiority of the Eastern Roman Empire. Speaking of which, when Lilianu came back to find Egil, her father specifically told her that the empire was about to send troops to the Near East to recover Babylon. Hopefully, she will be able to enlist Egil's support. Lilianu knew in her heart that Egil's idea would reach Constantinople, and her father would gladly agree.
"I can't do this. Wait until I write a letter to my father and see how he responds. Lilianu thought about it for a long time, and felt that Egil was not the kind of person who took the initiative to suffer. So he said.
"Of course. Egil nodded. A big stone fell to the ground in my heart. Then I felt a little embarrassed because I had cheated Lilianu hard.
Egil, the reason why you want to abandon Syria. It was because of the war with the Mongols, although last year, the Mongol king Sun Hulegu came to Krakow and signed a non-aggression pact with him. But in private, the Mongolian wolf-like temperament is uncontrollable. During this period of time, the Euphrates defense line he had laid out in Syria had been attacked by the Mongol army hundreds of times. Although Harry, Khalid, and Zhao Haier are all excellent generals. Egil asked himself, the Euphrates defense line is also strong. However, after a long period of conflict, the Norman Empire still lost a large number of troops and consumed a lot of supplies.
In addition, the Arabs in Syria are also extremely disgusted with the occupation forces in Egil. Clashes between the Norman garrison and the local population occurred from time to time. The instability of the local situation has also affected the conduct of taxation and commerce. The input-output of the Norman Empire in Syria was completely disproportionate. This is also one of the reasons why Egil decided to abandon Syria. (To be continued......
