Whether that Sybil is a traverser or not, and how far-reaching is the impact she has brought to this world, put aside for the time being, Sinan Pei has a lifetime to think about this matter.

Now it is the city representative sent by the city of Lelan to deal with it.

In the afternoon of the next day, two city representatives sent by Lelan City came to the pavilion where Sinampe and Theresa were staying as scheduled.

Although Theresa was reluctant to entertain them, she instructed Carla to grind and brew the Capet, which was quite expensive in this era.

Theresa never lacks any proper etiquette. Sinan Pei has never explored and understood why this is, and in the end it can only be attributed to the fact that this is something engraved in the bones of the nobles, no matter how much calculation is behind it, he must put on the image of a humble gentleman or a fair lady on the surface.

Of course, Si Nanpei, who was a dick - or Si Nanpei, who used to be a dick, doesn't care about this, at least he didn't engrave this consciousness into his bones.

Maybe Sinampei doesn't realize it now, but decades later...... He would become such a creature as well.

"Sit. After the guests were seated, Theresa pushed the Wen Jiàn and the money exchange slip that had been sorted out overnight in front of the two of them, "This is what you want, it's all here." ”

"It's ......" Varangie and his companions glanced at the bunjiàn with a look of surprise on their faces.

Sinampe took the initiative to explain to them: "Originally, my mistress didn't want to do anything for your city, no matter what kind of relationship the two had in the past, but when you drove the Auvergne family out of Lelan City, the contract between the two has disappeared without a trace. She's not going back to Leland. But she is kind and merciful, and she is willing to provide you with the money, so that you can use it to save Leland's financial crisis. ”

"These ......," Varangie shouted in surprise as she flipped through the text, "the taxes that the countess received from Lelan City in previous years?"

"It's all here. Presumably this is enough money for you to survive this crisis, and as for the rest of the day, it has nothing to do with my mistress - you can think of me as her plenipotentiary. Sinan Pei said for the silent Theresa.

"Your Excellency, didn't you and the Countess suspect that we were liars?" the silent civilian envoy spoke suddenly.

"You're real. Theresa said indifferently, "His Majesty the Pope has already greeted us. ”

"......" The man fell silent and never said a word again.

"But Your Highness, what we want...... It's not the money. It's your return. Varangi excused.

"Didn't you drive my mother out of Leland then, and why do you want me back now?" Theresa's tone was still angry.

"We've had enough of that procrastination. A bad-for-nothing city council, we want a strong leader to lead our city to prosperity. "I've been to the town of Aliai, and the prosperity there is very different from the city I remember. If you can lead Auvergne to prosperity, you can lead Leland to prosperity. ”

"Do you have anything to do with me? Do I have such an obligation to you? I'm sorry, but I remember saying something similar to you yesterday. Theresa shook her head, "Don't talk to me about Leland again, I'm not interested in running a city that smells of copper, please don't disturb my life in the future." ”

"But don't you trust us to give us the money? Aren't you afraid that we will go out and swallow it privately? The ill-verbal delegate said hurriedly.

"I don't know your name yet, honorable sir. ”

"My name is Curran. The envoy replied.

"Mr. Curran. Don't forget jì, my mother was a magician. Wouldn't I, then, have a little magic? As for credibility, will you, including the Lelan City behind you, be as tall as me? I have a hundred ways to make you and the reputation of Lelan City stink, and I won't lose a little bit. ”

"Countess......" Varangie was about to say something, but Theresa interrupted them with a wave of her hand.

"Alright. Gentlemen, I am tired of such a request. I want to take a break. Theresa even uttered a pleading tone. "Gentlemen, I beg you, get out of here, okay? I really don't want to have anything to do with Leland any more, and I'm going to give up the title of countess, and I won't charge you any more taxes from now on. Hurry up and leave after I've given you all this money, okay?"

Sinampei doesn't know whether to praise Theresa for being a natural actor, whether it's true or not, her sad look is enough to move the vast majority of men in this world. The rest is either sexually impotent or has a problem with orientation.

“...... I'm sorry, Countess. Varangie after listening to Theresa's words. Instead, he shook his head and pushed all the Wen Jiàn back to Theresa's side, "If it's just a matter of money, then it's enough for each of our big consortia to grit their teeth and come up with a copy, but it's not a matter of money." We...... There is a real need for someone to lead, someone who is right, who can convince the public, and who is also recognized by all parties to carry this burden. I know I'm sorry for you, but I hope you'll reconsider. In any case, it won't hurt you. ”

"I know it doesn't hurt me, but again, it doesn't do me any good. Theresa laughed, "Do you think I don't know? The current Lelan City is a whirlpool, not only inside the city, but also outside the city, and the emperor is also putting pressure on Lelan City, right? He wants to take over this rich city, but you don't want to accept the rule of a northern barbarian, and the church also wants to take the city, but you are afraid that this will damage your commercial interests, and as for the Adriatic Republic and the Jenova Republic, you don't want them to get involved in this city, otherwise they will crush Lelan City." All you need is a shield. ”

"No, it's not just a shield, trust me, Lord Lord. Kuran shook his head vigorously, "We need a hero to lead our city out of this difficult situation." ”

"Hero, and then, kick me out after the city has survived the crisis?" said Theresa, angrily, "In your mind, aren't heroes just for suppression? (To be continued......)
