"I disagree with your claim! Mr. Diplomat! ”

Faced with the provocation, the Earl of Southgate raised his voice: "First of all, we have not violated the treaty, and our offensive began only after the expiration of the three-year period of the Treaty of Flintgate.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country has issued an official declaration of war in advance, and the course of the war is quite civilized and gentlemanly, and has not violated any of the international regulations of war.

His Majesty the Duke has been bold enough to use young generals, to avoid major battles, to reduce bloodshed in the process of unification of the peninsula, and our medical corps has been trying to save the lives of the wounded of the enemy.

Besides, the war on the peninsula is a domestic affair within our Valstas, and your country is intervening to keep us divided and divided. Who is responsible and who is messing around, you should all know very well! ”

"Nope! You have violated the international laws of war! You killed prisoners indiscriminately during the capture of the Gronal Pass, and some of the soldiers of the Noble League who had surrendered were mercilessly executed! I have witnesses! There are witnesses who see your lancers killing artillery officers who have raised their hands in surrender! ”

"Oh? You say we kill prisoners indiscriminately? In that kind of fierce battle?

Mr. Diplomat, soldiers are not cold mechanical cogs, they are sentient and living people!

How easy is it to attack a fortified position? It is inevitable that the soldiers will do crazy things to avenge their comrades, and besides, it all happens in the heat of battle, and if we had a situation of indiscriminate killing of prisoners after the war, our military courts will not tolerate such behavior! ”

"Hmph, anyway, the battle is over, and the innocent victims can no longer speak! No one refutes what you say! War Maniac! Executioner! ”

The Earl of Southgate said, "What about your politeness? Diplomat? Where have your manners been thrown away? Let's just talk about things, you will behave like a scoundrel in the market! Disgrace to your country!

If you continue to make unreasonable troubles and make unwarranted comments on the policies of our country, then I will not give you face either!

Don't force me to tell me your ugly things, your Sylvinian Empire's colonial army has done something that everyone is angry with, look, the information is in my hands, you want me to read it to everyone? ”

With that, the Earl of Southgate proudly held up the data set in his hand.

The diplomat, who had been aggressive until now, suddenly became speechless, his expression was extremely embarrassed and embarrassed, his legs trembled slightly, and finally squeezed out of his mouth:

"You threaten me? A diplomat who threatens a continental power! I represent the interests of the Sylvinian Empire! ”

"I have no intention of stirring up disputes, it is you who have been provoking in words! Diplomat, I respect your country, but please also respect our territorial integrity, any attempt to hinder the reunification of the peninsula is futile. ”

"Then I'll be blunt, our Emperor His Majesty, Maximilian I, has convened a diplomatic conference and will never recognize the legitimacy of your Valstad Empire! I ask you to immediately return the territories of the Noble Confederate! ”

"In that case, I don't have much more to say, so I have to ask you to get out of this room, find a place to calm down, and go to the bar for a cold beer, I think it will sober you up." The Earl of Southgate waved his hand, got up and said, "Guard, send off." ”

"You want to expel the diplomats of a big country! You should know what the consequences of this will be! With that, the diplomat waved his hand at the guard, "Don't touch me!" I'll go myself! ”

Before leaving, he glanced at the diplomatic representatives of other countries, hoping that some of them would leave with him in protest against the Duchy of Valsta.

But he was embarrassed by the fact that the diplomats of these countries were all indifferent, and no one accompanied him away, and no one even said anything to keep him.

After all, the current situation is not as good as it was three years ago, when these countries would have jointly sent troops to prevent the unification of the peninsula, and now that the unity of the peninsula by the Duchy of Valstad is a fact, the aristocratic allies have disappeared from the map, and the powerful anti-principality coalition is a thing of the past, and the former allies have become full of contradictions.

The rise of a powerful Valstad nation-state is unstoppable. This country, which occupies the whole of the peninsula, has a large population and army, a vast agricultural area, and is extremely prosperous in industry and commerce, is spreading a terrifying atmosphere, and the monarch of this country is none other than the Duke of Valsta, who sits high in the master's seat.

Any sober-minded diplomat knows that he must be cautious in the face of the strong, even if he is a potential adversary, he must carefully consider before speaking and expressing his position, otherwise it is very easy to incur disaster for his motherland, so they all keep their mouths shut.

Moreover, the Sylvinian Empire also had disputes with their country, and seeing the diplomat of the empire being expelled from the venue by the host made him lose face, and the hearts of the diplomatic representatives of various countries were even more joyful. (Let you rob our colony!) Deserve! Now that I have met a ruthless person, I can't be arrogant! ）

After sending off the angry diplomat, the envoys of various countries looked indifferent, and seeing that the atmosphere in the meeting hall was gradually harmonious, to everyone's surprise, the king of the noble allies, Víktorio Emanuel, stood up, and he suddenly wondered:

"Your Majesty, you have conquered the whole of the peninsula, but the title of Emperor is different from that of the conqueror, for thousands of years, the title of Emperor Valstad has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the empire has been destroyed for hundreds of years, the crown and holy oil used for coronation have long been destroyed in the flames of war, and the family of the seven electors has long since declined.

It is well known that every emperor is to be crowned in a traditional way, but you don't have any of the above.

Therefore, the elements of inheriting the throne of the ancient empire are not mature, of course, you can make a new imperial title, but the appeal is insufficient, I am all for your good, if you want to be a legitimate emperor, please consider it thoroughly. ”

Immediately after these doubts were raised, the king sat down, and he waited to see how the other man would react, hoping that his problem would make the duke look ugly in front of everyone.

"That's a good question! It is really important to be right, and I will answer all your doubts one by one, starting with the crown! Duke Salantos Midknight replied kindly, and there was no panic on her face, and she gently patted the boy beside her on the shoulder:

"Let me introduce you to the adults, this child's name is Victor Strandhalt, my adopted son, and he bears an ancient title, the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre, I wonder if anyone knows?"

"Ah, that's an old title," said an elderly guest, "the Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre is the knight who guarded the tomb of the first Emperor Valstad, but it is said that they are tall giants, and they are just children." ”

"That's because he's young," replied the duke, and then she said to her adopted son:

"Little Victor, please go to the center of the venue, uncover the red silk on the tray there, it's time for everyone to witness the miracle!"
