Volume 2 My Youth Chapter 19 Miscellaneous Matters
Martial law in Sanctuary City ended a week after the terrorist attack.
The results are self-evident, all the evidence found points to the Cang Dynasty, so the Cang Dynasty had to become the person in charge of this terrorist attack.
The Holy Kingdom immediately sent a large army to Frankfork City, and the envoys of the Cang Dynasty quickly dispatched after the arrival of the army and negotiated with the diplomatic personnel of the Holy Kingdom.
In the end, the army of the Holy Kingdom did not fight with the Cang Dynasty, and returned home with a paper agreement.
The agreement is naturally a compensation made by the Cang Dynasty to the Holy State.
Because there were not many casualties, this matter gradually faded out of people's sight.
Only the two buildings that are still being rebuilt are proof of what happened here.
The deaths of those apostles did not seem to stir up much of a stir, and the council soon held secret elections to allow new apostles to take their place.
For safety, I've been staying at the Rothschild embassy for a week.
Felenvinoel and Kirsten are mobilizing their forces to find out who is going to deal with me.
But the best thing to do now is to have the wedding as soon as possible and make the marriage a given, so that no one will assassinate me for breaking the marriage.
So when I woke up that morning, Felenvianol and I talked about it.
"So, what the hell do you think?" She asked.
"This, if, if you don't object, what reason do I have to refuse? Right. I said.
"Okay, let's hold the wedding as soon as possible," Philenobinoer nodded, "It's just a bit hasty, and the preparation won't be very sufficient, I don't know if you will mind." β
"No, no, no, of course not. How could I mind? I'm not a pampered aristocrat. β
"But I think your noble diseases are the same, and there are no few." She rolled her eyes. I knew she was referring to Kirsten, so I smiled wryly and didn't reply.
"Can't my brother marry two!" Viloya suddenly popped out of nowhere and said seriously.
She was a little short, so none of us noticed her at first. It wasn't until she understood the situation and stood on tiptoe against the edge of the table that we saw her.
This embarrassed me, beckoned her to sit on my lap, and explained to her that it was not right to marry two people.
Veroya didn't seem to understand, but she still didn't think it was a bad thing for his brother to marry two women.
I had to coax her out of here and go downstairs to play with Clevisia.
"Honestly, how do I feel like you're more than just two people?" Felenvinoel tilted her head to look at me.
βγγγβ
What else can I say, but this is my inferior nature, and I am indeed very close to Clevisia, and I don't know if this is a liking.
I don't have anyone to teach me about the love between men and women, can you expect the taciturn Reinhardt or the innocent and lovely Ai Shuur to teach me?
"Alright, Miss Felianobinoer, let's stop the subject. Let's discuss the wedding. I said.
"It's the first time I've heard of someone using a wedding as a shield for something like this. Why, before you married me, you started fantasizing about the chaotic life after marriage, right? β
If it weren't for her teasing meaning the most, you see, I would definitely compete with her!
"Discuss the wedding, discuss the wedding."
"Okay." Felianverne pulled out a document.
Is it so formal!?
γ
After the initial discussion of the wedding, we went to Ferlenville's office.
As the fiancΓ© of Princess White Wolf, I am going to return to the kingdom of Rothier with her in the future.
The Unified Knights will divide a part of the Unified Legion with the hidden forces of the Rothil Kingdom to form a joint legion, which can be regarded as a military retreat for the close cooperation between the two countries.
Time is running out, and now I need to start understanding the political situation within the kingdom of Rothschild.
As Ferryvinoer took matters into account, the political landscape of the kingdom had a preliminary framework in my mind.
The king is very capable, and the prime minister under him is a figure who can help the king integrate the various forces, but the ability to handle government affairs is not very strong.
Flenvinell obviously does not have the king's ability to handle government affairs, so the king has been cultivating a group of talents who can assist her in handling government affairs when she becomes king in the future.
However, there are naturally some people with other purposes among these people, some who are ambitious, and some who belong to the unstable forces of the kingdom.
The kingdom of Rothier, which is rich in scientists, engineers, and military strategists, has always been short of talents in government affairs, and no one knows why, maybe it is for the balance of all things.
Therefore, the king cannot exclude all talents, but can do as much as possible to ensure their loyalty.
The only hope is that Princess White Wolf's future husband can have a strong ability to handle government affairs, and it is best to have the strength to balance those ambitious politicians.
If the strength is on par with the king himself, then there is no need for those people. There can be more time to start from a young age and cultivate a group of people who are both loyal and capable.
It's best that way.
Obviously I'm not a good candidate, at least that's what I think I am.
But others don't seem to think so.
They thought that I was a well-rounded person who had been nurtured by Bishop Ludwig, trained by the National University of Lorraine, and held the position of head of the Knights of the Unification.
Therefore, Ambassador Rothschild, the king's henchman, also began to teach me with all his heart, hoping that I could go one step further and become a figure worthy of the famous statesmen in history.
It's also hard for me to refuse someone's kindness.
I think it's great if I can help Ferlenvir.
In addition to these, the most important thing is that the military power of the Rothil Kingdom is too bloated due to the problem of the northern ice field.
The large reserve corps, which was supposed to carry out compulsory military training all year round and could support the front line at any time, could ensure the national defense and security of the Rothschild Kingdom. But this put a great strain on the kingdom's finances.
Even if there are very few corrupt officials in the army, if they are greedy here and there, they will eventually accumulate a huge amount of money.
Maintaining an army of this size is also very expensive and expensive.
There were no obvious disadvantages before, as a strong army allowed the kingdom of Rothil to expand its territory.
But when all places have owners, the disadvantages gradually become apparent.
Similarly, because of the progress of the times, the army's weapons and equipment need to be iteratively updated, which is another expense that has to be spent. And that's not even counting the maintenance costs for equipment.
Fiscal pressures led to higher taxes on the kingdom's own people and a somewhat strong dependence on colonies. This also brought some hidden dangers to the local rule of the colony.
Now, the colonists have entered the kingdom of Rothil as refugees, which has caused some contradictions and conflicts among the inhabitants in a short period of time.
Although these are all suppressed on the surface, everyone knows that if the demands of refugees, such as housing and financial assistance, are not completely addressed, then this is a volcano that could erupt at any time.
Its outbreak is bound to cause great disaster to the kingdom.
It's a tough problem to solve.
The native people of the kingdom of Rothier considered it a duty to accept refugees, and those refugees believed that it was the kingdom's duty to provide housing and assistance.
As a result, it is difficult for the government to convince the population to use state finances to meet the demands of these refugees.
As a last resort, the kingdom could only seek the help of the Holy Nation and exchange some scarce resources for economic assistance, which reassured the people.
But this was clearly not a long-term solution, for which the king considered disarmament. But this will certainly touch the vital interests of countless people up and down the kingdom.
Therefore, disarmament is bound to be met with great resistance. Even if the king uses iron-fisted means to forcibly promote disarmament, the people below have a way to do it.
This is what worries King Rothier most now.

Kirsten is not focusing on unearthing who is behind the scenes.
Her eyeliner had already reported about the upcoming wedding of Kimchi and Felianvinoel, which made her suddenly a little upset.
She knew why she was the way she was.
She fell in love with Kimchi. Yes, she was in love with him.
She understood that this was an emotion that should not have been on her, and she had hated such irrational emotions immensely.
However, she now finds that this emotion does not seem to be so annoying. At least falling in love with Kimchi didn't make her feel sick.
So why refuse this feeling of novelty.
In the final analysis, she is only just an adult, and she still yearns for sincere love.
She didn't really give up on this emotion.
So Kirsten is now a little annoyed and regretful, why didn't he agree to Kimchi's confession in the first place?
So she began to resent her father, who was obsessed with research.
If it wasn't for him, how could he only have expectations for friendship?
Maybe he is still the successor of the Rhine Kingdom, and he has a capital to compete with Ferlian Vinoer.
Thinking of this, Kirsten was even more upset. She almost tried to rush back to the Rothchild embassy.
But the only sanity she had left finally stopped her madness.
She remembered the question Kimchi had asked her in the first place. In other words, Felenvinoer was very uneasy, thinking that he was approaching Kimchi in order to retake the Rhine Kingdom?
How can it be! Even if you want to take back the position of king of the country, don't you need to do it so well!?
What's the point of just being a Rhine kingdom? What I want is to dominate Middle-earth!
A mere position as a king of the Rhine kingdom is not worthy of doing so.
Yes! Annoying! Did he really approach Kimchi for profit? Absolutely not, Kirsten and Kimchi's love is truly pure, without any added factors!
Kirsten thought so, unaware that time was passing by at a rapid pace.
