Si Nanpei doesn't know if every political creature has the skill of never blushing, but from the analysis of the people Si Nanpei has seen so far, he feels that this sentence is not wrong at all.

Henry yes, Angus yes, Edward yes, and so does the Crown Prince Ferdinand in front of him now.

Even though Sinan Pei knew that the other party didn't have any good intentions from the beginning, he was still talking to Ferdinand calmly.

"Your Royal Highness, do you mean that you want me to come forward and take the lead in supporting your holy war?"

"Yes, Mr. Si. Although he didn't expect Sinampei to be so direct, Ferdinand reacted quickly and nodded.

"I'm afraid you've found the wrong person, Your Highness, Mademoiselle Auvergne, who has the rightful dominion over the city of Lelan, is an out-and-out outsider compared to the natives of Saranil. Even if her ancestors had lived here for generations, she carried too many shadows of the Capetians, and I, a foreigner who was not even a member of the Rites, you have to think that if Miss Auvergne and I jumped out to support you at this sensitive juncture, how many people would have believed it? I'm afraid they'll all think that Mademoiselle Auvergne is in collusion with you to rule this land of freedom. ”

The embarrassment of the emperor is also here, although the emperor nominally has suzerainty over this land, but Saranyi has always been outside the emperor's ruling circle, and there is not even an imperial elector. And the people of this land are not the same nation as the emperor.

"You're right, of course, but extraordinary times naturally require extraordinary means. Ferdinand retorted.

I couldn't agree more, but there's a rather fatal problem. The land pressure from the Selmans is borne by your family, the pressure from the sea is borne by Adria and Genova, and the religious pressure is borne by the Pope, who in any case does not feel the pain. How would they approve of your actions under such circumstances? I think after feeling the pressure of the Selmans. Only then will they really understand. Or, try your hand at the Jenova and Adriatic, who are the ones who are actually in the same trench as you. ”

This is a heart-wrenching phrase, which implies the meaning of "If the Saranyi people are disobedient again, you can find a way to make them suffer a little".

Ferdinand shook his head, it was easy to say, but how could he do it? Even if he had chosen appeasement in the face of the Sermans' attack, it would only be their family and no one else who would have been unlucky!

Compared to these annoying inland city-states, Genova and Adria have always been at odds with the Emperor, but they are still relatively united when facing the Selmans.

However, Ferdinand also understood that Sinampe and Theresa were covered by the Pope and magicians, and he couldn't help it. I had no choice but to nod my head and stop talking about this matter. He wondered if he could persuade a few to continue south to visit the other city-states.

He believed that he would reach some understanding with the Pope.

In fact, the fact that so many people were sent to support the pope this time was also the result of a compromise between the secular regime and the religion. Everyone needs to fight together against the Selman Empire, and the Pope plays the role of the leader in it, and many things need to be coordinated by the Pope.

This time, the Emperor sent troops to Saranyi because Adria and Genova had gathered a large enough fleet, but there were not enough infantry to carry out the broadside battle, so they thought of seconding the Emperor - this era. It is common for naval fleets to be loaded with large numbers of infantry, and long-range weapons have not yet been able to become a decisive force. For everyone, a strong broadside combat force is indispensable in naval warfare.

Therefore, Ferdinand's army can be said to have come to support the Pope, but it can also be said to have come to support Genova and Adria.

Sinampei knows that on Earth. When the British Navy and the Spanish Armada were fighting, tens of thousands of army soldiers were transported in the opposite fleet.

"Mr. Si, although we have not been able to negotiate anything between us this time, I sincerely hope that. I admire you for being able to build a friendship that is free from worldly interests, and I appreciate you for being a person who can do so for the sake of loyalty and affection. Presumably, you are a great person to be friends with. At the end of the conversation and when he was about to leave, Ferdinand said to Sinampei.

"It is a great honor, Your Highness. Sinan Pei bowed.

No matter how fake the two people are, they still have to say what they say.

"By the way, I heard that you and Capet's Hugue are good friends, aren't they?" asked Ferdinand suddenly.

Sinampei hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly. He has a really good relationship with Huge, and it seems that he has been quietly matching himself with Theresa. It's not a bad relationship, is it?

"If you have the chance to meet him, you must let him hurry to Odesia to marry my sister. Ferdinand half-jokingly said, "My sister is almost an old girl waiting for him." ”

Sinan Pei smiled bitterly and nodded. In a sense, the princess is really worried about getting married, considering this and that, there are only a few suitable ones on a continent.

But he can't do it, and he ......

"Your Highness, I don't necessarily have a chance to return to Capet. ”

"But I always feel that you and Mademoiselle Auvergne have come here to Saranyi only for sponsorship, and that knight Henry will call you back sooner or later. Ferdinand smiled.

“...... Maybe you're right. Sinampei could only cope.

An international aristocrat would be a little embarrassed to encounter this kind of thing, wouldn't it? Which master should he be loyal to?

Under the guarded gaze of Sinampei, Ferdinand left Lelan City with his retinue, reunited with the troops stationed outside the city, and headed south for Roman City.

This catastrophe has just passed? God blessed! Sinampei touched his head, he felt that this time he came to Lelan City, he would be stripped of his skin if he didn't die, but in the end, he had nothing to lose? The Jenova people fled, the emperor showed weakness, and the disgruntled merchants in the city were not vulnerable at all.

"It seems that the only thing left is to kill those merchants and turn this Lelan City into the private property of himself and Theresa......" Sinampe muttered. (To be continued......)
