Chapter 57: Isn't the War Going On?

Emperor Augustine's murderous intent for the Falling Star has never been stronger, and the Empire would rather have a mediocre vassal than allow a shrewd vassal to dominate the court.

However, Augustine the Great did not immediately show it.

Whether it is a meteorite behind all this still needs to be verified. You can't arbitrarily dispose of an important minister of the empire just because of suspicion. And if the meteorite can really affect two princes and a princess at the same time, you should be more cautious when dealing with him.

The events of these days made Augustine realize that he and his children were strangers, and that they might be closer to the Meteorite than to their father.

Once again, a sense of loneliness and desolation rises, but Augustine soon regains his imperial heart and focuses on the battle of national fortunes.

The eldest prince Fania also explained some future strategies after this offensive operation, and his heart became more and more respectful of the meteorite.

Alec left the imperial capital and ran to the Western Front.

If there was no such a big military move on the southern front, staying in the imperial capital would make my father have a sense of crisis. If he went to supervise the battle like Alec, he would give the initiative to Agatha.

Staying by himself now will at most make his father feel an eyesore, and as long as he doesn't think he will carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, he will endure some things.

As for the destruction of the Eternal Secret Technique experiment......

Based on my father's performance these days, it may not necessarily be a bad thing.

The Eternal Mystic Experiment was not restarted, the Transcendent Species Cultivation Center did not continue, and other similar experiments were terminated. I think my father also understands that he doesn't want him to prolong his life...... I'm not alone.

The father no longer pursues the continuation of life, the second prince runs to the Western Front to suppress bandits, and Meteorite and Agatha show signs of centrifugation.

As long as the southern front fought fiercely, it reflected the strength of the barbarian army, so that my father did not dare to make big moves on the southern front.

I...... It only needs to wait for the palace to change dramatically.

Fania, who was at ease in her heart, did not have any troubled emotions because the war on the southern front was not going well, but talked eloquently about her offensive strategy against the Tedgar hills.

This was the beginning of the war, the empire was superior to the Tedgar Hills in terms of national strength, and Fania wanted to take the initiative to attack, and the emperor would certainly not stop it. Augustine the Great ordered the cabinet to organize supplies and personnel as soon as possible to replenish the army on the southern front.

Then he talked about the City of Angry Waves.

Augustine the Great said to Agatha: "The war against the Celts is not as optimistic as we thought at first, and this battlefield may last for a long time, and it will be a great drain on the national strength of the empire.

As an important economic city in the Empire, Angry Waves should play a more active role in this war. ”

Agatha had talked a lot about the war in her correspondence with Luke, so she was prepared for this issue.

"Father...... When the Empire declared war on the Tedgar Hills, the Acting Governor of Meteor had already urged the Council of the Mighty Waves to prepare supplies for the Imperial army.

At present, more than 1,000 tons of military supplies have been prepared in Angry Waves City, including more than 40 kinds of consumables such as canned food, bedding, palm oil, flour, dried fish, medicines, and fire crystals.

Wait for the cabinet to issue a pass, and then it can be transported to the battlefield on the southern front.

The Acting Governor of Meteor has stated that he will continue to prepare more supplies to support the Empire's war. ”

A thousand tons of military supplies is not much for a city of the size of Angry Waves City, but these are the most urgently needed things for the war, which shows that Meteorite is still concerned about this war.

Moreover, this battlefield was indeed fought suddenly, and the amount of materials raised by Angry Waves City in such a short period of time was already very fast.

It also shows how influential and controlling the meteorite has in Angry Waves.

Emperor Augustine praised: "After the city of the Rising Waves is governed by the meteor, it is much better than before. Gabriel, you new lords should learn from the meteorites. Only when the empire is strong, you can make money! ”

Shoufu Gabril knew that Augustine the Great was beating his new nobles, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, we, the new lords, are also actively donating money and materials, and these things will soon be sent to the battlefield on the southern front. ”

Fania smiled at this time, and the value of his stay in the imperial capital was thus reflected. Not only can I participate in the Imperial Cabinet meeting, but all the donated materials are sent to the southern route.

No one mentioned Alec on the Western Front.

Fania glanced at Agatha with her eyes: "Sister, I miscalculated this time.

Then Fania said, "Father, after the Acting Governor of Meteor took over the city of Angry Waves, he not only brought more taxes to the empire, but also donated so many military supplies.

In one fell swoop, he annihilated the abyssal mage lurking in the imperial capital and killed one of the abyss apostles. Such outstanding talents should take on more responsibilities.

I've heard that you're interested in giving Princess Dale to Meteor in marriage...... If Meteorite can become a member of the royal family, he will inevitably be more loyal to the Empire. ”

Fania's proposal to marry Princess Dale to Meteorite at the Imperial Cabinet meeting was unexpected by everyone, but it was reasonable.

The battle to exterminate the Abyss Mage exposes the complex relationship between the Falling Star and the Imperial Family.

Some couldn't help but look at Agatha.

If the meteorite really threw itself at the Great Prince, it would be a heavy blow to Agatha.

Augustine the Great did not expect Fania to bring up this matter before himself...... Still can't hold my breath!

But since the Grand Prince had brought it up, Augustine also wanted to see other attitudes.

He first asked Agatha, "The meteorite is your person, and his true identity includes his real name...... Only you know. Meteorite is indeed a very rare talent, and the age is also very suitable for Dale. But whether his identity background can marry Dai'er, you have more say. ”

Meteorite is a code name, and Agatha has never made his true identity public, making everyone think that he is involved in too many secrets of the CIA.

But marrying the princess of the empire is not only a matter of the empire, but also a major event in the world, and the identity of the meteorite must be made public.

It's just that Agatha really doesn't know who this meteorite is.

I remembered what Clear Sky had said to me, and the promise she had made to Dale. Agatha said: "The true identity of the meteorite has always been the top secret of the CIA, and the disclosure of his information requires a lot of consideration.

However, Princess Dale's marriage, we should consider her wishes more. Having experienced the attack, as an older sister, I just want Dale to be happy and not become a tool of politics. ”

Agatha wants to respect Dale, but in the eyes of others, she is preventing Dale from marrying Meteor.

Referring to the rumors that have always existed in the court, Agatha's attitude this time is simply to admit the correctness of those rumors.

Affection?

Did the Augustinians have kinship?

Fania thought she had caught Agatha's weakness, and as long as she let Dale marry Meteorite, Meteorite would definitely leave Agatha. He said, "As an imperial princess, you should take on the responsibility of being a princess!" Your three older sisters are doing very well, and none of their husbands are involved in the Celtic rebellion.

Meteorite and the city he manages are very, very important to the Empire, and I believe that Meteorite will treat Daile well, and Dai'er will be very happy in Angry Waves. ”

Agatha stood by her promise to Dale.

"If Dale is willing to marry Meteor, I will definitely bless her. But if Dale doesn't want to marry Meteor, I will definitely protect her wishes. The kind Dale is different from us, she deserves the happiness we hope for but don't have. ”

Fania was even more sure that this was Agatha's weakness, and he said to Augustine the Great: "Father, as father and emperor, we are all at your will. ”

If it was before, Augustine the Great would certainly like to see the meteor fall to Fania, and perhaps when the southern front had some decent achievements, he would give him the position of crown prince.

But now Augustine has a great suspicion of meteorites, and Jofania relies too much on meteorites, which is not good for the Empire.

What kind of person the meteorite is needs to be seen with your own eyes.

Augustine the Great was confident in his ability to read people.

And thinking of his little daughter, Augustine had a hard time hardening his heart. These days, Daile really comes to spend time with her, and she happily talks about the interesting things she had in class.

Dale's innocence and kindness, without any impurities, are unconsciously warming Augustine's cold heart.

"Fania is right, as an imperial princess, she enjoys a prestigious status and also shoulders a heavy responsibility. But the empire is no longer an empire that needs princesses and relatives to maintain stability.

Dale is going to marry when she becomes an adult, and she has the right to choose her own happiness, but within the limits I have specified.

The palace will hold a coming-of-age ball for Dale, which will be attended by all the children of the nobles of the Empire who are not married, and I will send my blessings to each pair of lovers who are attracted to each other. ”

It is a tradition for the Imperial Palace to hold a coming-of-age ball for every adult prince and princess, but it is absolutely rare to invite all the children of the nobles of the Empire to come.

Augustine's move was obviously to hold a large-scale blind date dance in the name of Dale. Combined with the fact that it is now wartime, it means more. If done correctly, it can collect a lot of benefits for the empire.

Hearing that Augustine was going to openly recruit a son-in-law for Princess Dale, all the cabinet ministers suddenly changed their expressions.

Originally, they thought that the eldest prince and the eldest princess had nothing to do with competing for the meteorite, but they actually waited for such a big surprise.

Who doesn't have a few young people of school age!

If you can get the favor of Princess Daile at the ball, it is equivalent to picking up a big leak in this royal struggle.

Gabriel Shousuke immediately said that he would make every effort to prepare for this coming-of-age ball for Princess Dale, and ensure that those noble children who came to the imperial capital could see the strength of the empire.

Neither Fania nor Agatha expected Augustine to change his chess path temporarily, didn't he always want to marry Dale to Meteorite?

What does my father want to do?

After the Imperial Cabinet meeting, all the issues that passed were suppressed by Princess Dale's coming-of-age ball.

Marrying a princess is a fairy tale for most people.

Now, the fairy tale is in front of you.

Augustine the Great said that as long as Princess Dale liked each other, he would give his blessing.

For a while, all the noble children who were eligible to participate in the ball after receiving the news were all gearing up. They were trained in court etiquette, remedial classes in literature and poetry, and invited the most professional dancers to undergo the most rigorous dance practice.

They all fantasized that they could receive this crown that fell from the sky.

Luke, who is in the City of Angry Waves, also receives news that the palace is going to hold a coming-of-age ball for Princess Dale, one from the Copper Mulberry Avenue, and the other is Agatha's handwritten letter transferred by Karina.

Agatha said she couldn't see through her father's intentions. After all, he had privately stated many times that he would hand over Daile to Meteorite. This time, Fania was given a public discussion at the cabinet meeting, and his attitude turned to a completely unbounded direction.

It's not like his style of doing things.

Luke couldn't figure out Augustine's intention to do this, was it really to attract the children of nobles of the right age from all over the empire to the imperial capital?

So Luke wrote back to Agatha.

Saying that whatever Augustine the Great's intentions were, it was a good thing for Dale. She can choose who she likes or who she doesn't like, and it's a big breakthrough.

Luke then told Agatha that he was now in the City of Angry Waves, and that he would return to the Imperial Capital when the business here was done.

The letter was encapsulated and sent out.

Luke, who had sneaked back to the Raging Waves, lived in the Viscount Iscoran's Palazzo Sicisi. After sending the letter, Luke went to the private room on the second floor of the opera hall, where he and Viscount Iscollan made an appointment to meet.

Iscoran waited early, and when Luke came in, he had his men watch outside.

"Governor, I've heard some rumors from the Imperial Capital that you and the Grand Prince have jointly carried out an important military campaign. We all want to know your intentions so that we can cooperate with you. ”

The establishment of the Innovation Society is under the banner of the eldest princess, and this time the meteorite is so close to the eldest prince, which will inevitably attract some confusion and discussion.

Luke drank red wine, enjoyed the opera on the stage below, and said casually: "None of the program of the Reform Society is loyal to the eldest princess, and the Reform Society serves the interests of all its members. Everything I do in the Imperial Capital is based on the interests of Angry Waves City, and ensure that what Angry Waves City has now and will have in the future will be recognized by the Empire. ”

Viscount Iskoran was shocked, isn't this who can become the emperor with whom?

"Your Excellency the Governor......"

Luke turned his head at this time and smiled at Viscount Iscoran, who looked worried and confused, "You convey what I just meant to the other members of the Innovation Society, so that they can work for the Society with peace of mind, and nothing will happen to Angry Waves City." ”

Viscount Iscollan immediately understood.

The scale of the Innovation Society is very large now, and not everyone is loyal to the eldest princess, and the Governor of the Falling Star is inclined to the Great Prince, which may be what most people want to see.

The Governor's words were just to send a mismessage to the outside world.

He is actually loyal to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

"My lord, I know what to do."

Luke nodded and said, "It's good that you know alone." I came back this time for an important purpose, which was to form a city militia. ”

Viscount Iscoran asked in surprise, "Do you want to fight?" ”

"Isn't there a war going on?"
