Although the unfortunate officer defending the city was only a middle-class man of low status, and although the officer's actions to prevent foreign troops from entering the city were understandable, there was no one to stop Theresa from trying to hang him......

Theresa now has absolute force, not to mention that the army in Lelan City has already been almost disbanded, even if there is still a standing army with a decent number, the merchants do not dare to move lightly.

In fact, the relationship between the merchants and the army, who were the rulers of the city, had always been poor, and when the Auvergnes ruled the city directly, the lords would not be stingy with their armies in order to maintain their authority, both in terms of pay and provisions. But after the businessman came to power...... It's no different from the barely defended countries on Earth. In addition, they are also very tight on the budget of the army, and they will definitely not spend a penny more, not only ordinary soldiers, but also officers are complaining. Because they were the only group that could threaten the merchant group's domination of the city, they would rather the army degenerate into a bunch of scrap that even the townspeople and gangsters could not defeat than the day when the soldiers would take over.

What? What if an enemy really wants to come at you? Simple, mercenary!

Sinan Pei sighed helplessly in the dark, although these businessmen can't say that they don't have any political brains, otherwise it would be impossible to drive away Theresa's mother and be the master of the house herself, but the characteristics of meat eaters are too obvious in them, maybe one or two of them are smart, such as those like Varangi who can see the situation, but once the council as a whole appears, so many excellent people will become ordinary people as soon as they are averaged.

Sinan Pei doesn't like to cook too much.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinion on my verdict?" said Theresa, coldly.

Someone couldn't help but say aloud: "Your Excellency." In any case, such matters should be left to the judge. ”

"Hmph, the judge will give me an honest verdict on a civil case. Does the military have anything to do with them?" Theresa glared at the guy hiding in the House of Representatives, "Does that gentleman dare to report his name?"

There was no more noise in the "......" venue.

"Good. Theresa nodded, "Then I hope that all the gentlemen will be in the square at noon the day after tomorrow to watch the execution, and come together to see what happens to the traitor." ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Theresa shook her neck: "Then." I will henceforth take over all the administrative affairs of the city of Leland, do you have any opinion? Monsieur Varangi has provided me with a set of annexes in the city for office purposes, and you should send all the files there. In addition, you all have some administrative positions, right? For the time being, I hope that there will be no disobedience under my hands, otherwise it will not be as simple as death...... I think you've all seen my magician friends, right?"

Many lawmakers began to look around. Where are the magician friends? Oh, my God, really a magician?!

It's not that these parliamentarians are too observant and too slow to react. It's that they are too restrained and scared, and they hardly dare to observe their surroundings, and some of the councillors are more daring, but they look around to prepare to escape from here later, but when they see a witch here, they all weaken......

"If there is nothing to do, let's disperse, I am quite tired after a long journey, and I have talked so much to you silverfish. Theresa deliberately made a tired look. "I'll make up for the financial hole in Lelan City first, but the taxes that you should pay afterwards. Don't forget to pay it to me!"

The councillors were relieved and walked out, not forgetting to salute Theresa before leaving, hoping to make a good impression.

Theresa then dismissed the mercenaries.

When everyone left, and only Sinampei, Theresa, and Shilmelia were left in the empty venue, Sinampei opened his mouth worriedly: "Your Highness." Are you a little too deep in the drama today?"

"Into the play? how can there be a play, this is completely a true performance. Theresa took the initiative to sit in the seat next to Sinampe that originally belonged to Speaker Benito, and then lay on Sinampei's lap and closed her eyes, "Si." Rub my forehead for me, I seem to have a migraine. ”

Hillelia blushed and watched from the side: "If you want to show affection, go back to the room at night to show off, so that you two won't feel ashamed in broad daylight?"

"Shame on what? It's not normal for lovers to be intimate with each other. Theresa said nonchalantly.

"That, Your Highness......" Sinampei hesitated for a long time, and finally broke her small talk with Shirmel Lia, "You put down those few words at the end, I'm afraid that it will change the situation." ”

Sinampei was a little worried that Theresa's deterrence action today would have any counterproductive effect.

"What counterproductive can it be?" said Theresa, "those people have degraded to the point where they are no different from a herd of pigs to be slaughtered. ”

"That being said, I'm still worried. Si Nanpei was quite uneasy, "Originally, those guys just didn't want their interests to be harmed so they asked you to come back, in short, those guys didn't want to use their own money to fill the financial hole, nor did they want to lose their political rights, and they would definitely be resentful if you deprived them of the two things they valued the most." ”

"Then let them come, if they really dare to use their ability to press the bottom of the box against me, then we can take this opportunity to drive out all those who disobey the discipline. We still get a lot of stuff, and if they don't do anything, we'll squeeze them out little by little without us knowing. Theresa smiled a little eeriely.

“...... Your Highness, I feel that you have changed a lot. Sinan Pei didn't speak for a long time, and then said the words that he had hidden in his heart for a long time.

"Changed, have I become more beautiful?" Theresa chuckled, not caring at all that there was Hilmelia beside her, and then wrapped her body around Sinampei, "Say, isn't it?"

Si Nanpei could only smile wryly and nodded. Sure enough, it's blackened...... Damn Henry!

"Now, but don't worry, Si. Either way, I'm yours too. Theresa's face suddenly straightened, "My heart for you will never deteriorate, really." ”

"I'm sorry, I, I'm ......" Shirmel Melia didn't say anything for a long time, and then ran away with a red face. (To be continued......)
