Chapter 216: Envoy 1

"What? Let me go to Burgundy?" To Delia's surprise, Ed's reaction to hearing the news was a little more surprised than he had at the beginning.

The last time the envoy sent by the other party to Hill Castle also had a conflict with Ed, the two sides fought, and later confronted each other in front of the king, the Burgundians clearly colluded with Ingier, not only sent people to ambush the envoys of the two associations at that time in a vain attempt to blame the Rolanders, but also in the last war, a large part of the enemy soldiers captured by Ed were sent by the Burgundian to aid the Ingier knights.

"I can't believe that before we can teach them a lesson, the other party will preemptively come to me for trouble!" Ed laughed angrily, if this letter asked them to go to war with Burgundy, he would not be so surprised that the army would be overwhelmed, after all, the prisoners Charles took can prove the bad intentions of the other party.

"The date specified in the letter is calculated from the rear, Burgundy is not far from here, there is plenty of time, Eddard, you rest here for a few days, and it is not too late for you to set out when I send someone to find out what happened. "Delia has already thought of a plan to delay the army, the Archduke of Burgundy's intentions are unclear, and she is also worried about letting Ed go alone.

Things are settled for the time being, Ed is happy to stay by Delia's side, the last time they were separated, it was not pleasant, he wants to take the opportunity to make up for it, although he is not angry with himself at all when he looks at the other party's demeanor.

Most of the acquaintances in the army are not there, either they were transferred by Charles, or they were led to advance on the front line by receiving the order of Delia, and after the defeat of Ingier's large army, there were only sporadic battles, and high-level combat forces like him were relatively idle, and there was no place to go.

At this time, the busiest is probably Andre. After the fragmentation of the army, the task of logistical supply was many times heavier than before. Without his support, it would have been impossible for Delia to recover Roland's lost ground in a short period of time through this strategy.

Ed hadn't seen this friend in a while, though. He missed it a little, but he knew that once he went, he would probably not be able to get out, and he would definitely have to be left there by André to help, so he would not go anywhere at all, and try his hand at Chesterton during the day, ponder some whimsical ideas on his own, and talk to Delia at night.

The big war is coming to an end, and the work of the commander of Di Liya is also much easier than before, and there may be a lot of affairs. But at least the mind does not need to be tense all the time, for fear that a wrong order or careless negligence will lead to countless people falling into the dead.

Seeing Ed's visit, Di Lia deliberately ignored him, still buried her head in dealing with the paperwork on the case, the young man waited for a while, couldn't bear it, and got up to adjust the lights for her, and then fanned mosquitoes and flies for her around her, deliberately trying to stir Di Liya couldn't calm down and work seriously.

But the girl was unmoved. Already concentrating on his work, Ed became more and more anxious, and looked at the documents she had given instructions, "Hey? Just leave it to the people below to do it according to the previous practice, and you can handle it yourself?"

Delia was not angry when he took away the documents in his hand. He looked at him with a smile and asked, "I don't deal with these little things, so what big things do I have to deal with?"

"Come on, come with me, take you to something else!" Ed dropped the papers. Reaching for the girl's little hand, trying to pull her up and away from this pile of troubles that can never be dealt with.

Delia didn't dodge. Let the other party pull him, but the other hand gently patted Ed's body, "I think you're here to interfere with my business again, and you're going to find a fight?"

"A god once said that if someone wants to hit you on the cheek, turn the other side and let him hit you, and I won't resist. Ed stretched out his face to Delia's eyes.

"How can there be such a god, you are talking nonsense!ah!" Ed took the initiative to grab one of her hands and put it on his face while Delia spoke, as if the girl's hand was cold because of the cold of the autumn night.

Ed's face is hot, and he wants to use himself to melt the other party's hard shell and bravely face his heart's desire.

"You're really looking for a fight!" Di Lia raised the other palm high, but when it fell, it was gentle, as if caressing the cherished thing, when the other little cold hand held his face, Ed was cold and couldn't help but hissed in, and then he covered the other party's with his own hands in the girl's coquettish laughter, and slowly detached his face from the other party's hand, and approached.

The night was deep, and the moon had taken refuge behind the dark clouds, and the starlight in the sky was now only showing a few dots or two, blinking shyly.

For several days, Ed lived the most leisurely days, and it seemed that all the troubles were leaving him, but the troubles never really went away, and the short absence was only brewing a bigger storm.

Follow-up news came from Little Eleanor, and it seemed that this time it was the Grand Duke of Burgundy who invited Ed to be a guest, saying that he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between the two, both between the envoy he had sent before and Ed, and between the Duchy of Burgundy and Roland.

After Ingier now took the initiative to start negotiations and showed his willingness to sue for peace, Charles, under the influence of the peace faction headed by the Minister of Parliament, gradually preferred to end the war by peaceful means as soon as possible, so it was necessary to continue to maintain good relations with Burgundy.

If this matter goes well, it is likely that the next step is to directly put the negotiations with Ingier on the table, and further restrain Deria's army.

"So, Eddard, you should know what I'm thinking. Di Lia looked at the young man gently, and there was a lingering feeling in her eyes that she didn't have before.

Ed nodded, of course the girl is not like the outside world thinks, will obstruct the peace, seize the right to let go, it seems that it is imperative to make her own mission, and she must succeed in order to meet everyone's expectations.

"I see, just put on a friendly gesture between the two sides! I'll try to restrain myself. "Ed and Delia don't think that as long as their side doesn't want to, nothing will happen, although theoretically they are the biggest obstacle, but it is not excluded that there are others who do not want to see the two countries negotiate peace, and will secretly sabotage this incident.

It is foreseeable that Ed is likely to encounter obstacles during his mission, making him a factor in sabotaging the peace negotiations, and even assassinating him.

"Be careful! let Chesterton follow you at all times, he should be able to help you. Delia admonished uneasily.

"I'll just hurry up and don't delay too much on the road, but then I should be able to stay for one more day!" Ed said evilly, and it was worth fighting for to enjoy one more day with Delia......!
