Chapter 50: Confusion
A few days later, the rebels and the royalists began a vicious negotiation, and then ended it quickly and quickly with a speed that no one expected.
It took the princess less than five seconds to completely reject Germain's proposal.
Although she offered to let the army retreat and not attack Randall City even within this year, she was also vetoed by Germain.
[Hand over Leah Farain, or the king and queen beheaded.] γ
The rebels are stubborn, and they understand that as long as little Lori remains, no matter how big concessions the royalists make, it doesn't matter.
[We refuse, we will never hand Leah over to you.] γ
The royalists were also very stubborn, and not only the old duke opposed it, but even Isabella refused to accept the proposal in the slightest, which led to the fact that there was no imaginary split within the entire faction.
Especially in the army, when those recruits who don't understand anything make a big fuss and think that the princess should abandon the little Lori in exchange for the king's life, they are often beaten all over the ground by the veterans.
Only those who have experienced war will understand how difficult the battlefield is, and these soldiers are more concerned than the life of the king, whether teleportation magic can help them to strike a large number of enemies with minimal casualties, and whether there is a blue salute that keeps them from enjoying the "bleak expectation" of siege warfare.
And the nobles, who have a little brain, will not agree to hand over Leah. At the very least, they wouldn't agree to the enemy's request until they found another mage who could teleport and sang the hymn of Nilfi.
Although there were a lot of rumors for a while, such as that the princess planned to kill her father by Jermain's hand, the royalists didn't care about the king's life at all, and it was actually not worthy of the name. However, gossip is just gossip.
It's just that rationally it's the same thing. It's a different story emotionally......
Since defeating the Duke of Arman, the Loyalists have made Ironwing a new base from Randall.
Bang!
Boom!
Rumble!
At this moment. There was a sound of falling objects in the princess's room.
"Despicable, shameless, shitty! He's a beast...... No, even the beasts are inferior to ββ!!!."
Since Isabella returned from the negotiation field, she has locked herself in her room, throwing things and yelling.
β......β
Leah, Leona and the others stood outside the room, all of them frowning, but they didn't know what to say.
Such a scene looks a lot like "the FΓΌhrer's anger", but when Leah hears the content of the negotiation, she is no longer in the mood to play memes.
[Thank you, Isha.] γ
She thanked silently in her heart, then turned to leave. Although she also wants to comfort the princess, Xiao Lori feels that as a party to the incident, no matter how much she comforts her, it will only make the other party more heartbroken.
[Let me exchange Isa's parents as a hostage!]
Moment. She had thought of saying this to the princess.
However, little Lori shook her head and threw this unrealistic idea out of her little head. Not to mention that if she was caught by Jermain, there would never be any Bronze Five Xiaoqiang or anything like that to come to her rescue, just by virtue of her experience with the princess for so many years, she knew that the other party would never make such a choice.
I also thought that I would be sent to Randall as a hostage and then open the goddess mode to directly destroy Germain, but think about it carefully - since it is a hostage, it must be an inevitable procedure to ban demons on equipment, and no one would have an abnormal brain to let a heavily armed archmage come to their side.
While Leah was distressed, the princess also threw everything in the room that could be dropped, and then lay down on the bed with no strength, covering her face with the back of her hand.
When Germain made this request on the negotiation field. She admitted that she couldn't control her mood, and her whole face changed.
Parents or Leah?
It took less than three seconds for Isabella to give the best answer to this multiple-choice question - to ask for Leah.
Little Lori is the only mage who has resurrected the magic of time and space in Mage City, and in the Elven Forest, she is the daughter of a miracle who saved the elves. Losing Leah would cause Randall to quickly turn against Mage City and the Elven Forest, and the reputation he had earned would turn into hatred in the blink of an eye.
Lori is the only mage in the Loyalists who can use teleportation magic and chants. An indispensable pillar of the army, she was the favorite daughter of the old Duke Brown Farren. Losing Leah will cause the army's combat ability to plummet to the bottom, which will lead to a clash with the old duke. The royalists fell apart in an instant.
What's more - little Lori is a goddess. If she dared to sell Leah, Isabella had no doubt that the great sage, who was originally not interested in this civil war in the kingdom, would not hesitate to put down his hand such as "prevent Yuhime from invading again". "Reconcile the balance of the world", "Pursue the Chimera Order" and other more important work. Just to rush all the way to Randall and strangle all the royalists and rebels.
The princess understands that from a rational point of view, selling Leah is DeadEnd, and she doesn't even have to think about it.
But what about feelings?
Leah is a best friend, an old enemy, her best friend, and she is always by her side to support her and help her.
But even so, aren't parents parents?
Since ancient times, the royal family has been a symbol of cold-blooded ruthlessness, and it is common for princes and princesses to kill their brothers and fathers for their own interests, such stories are not uncommon in any generation of royal dynasties, but Isabella is an accident.
For Cliff Randall VI, who had only such a daughter, Isabella was simply a typical representative of holding it in her hand for fear of falling, and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting.
And the princess is well-educated, and she is also very hard-working, and she has not become proud because of doting, and she does not understand the world.
No one will breed hatred for their parents in such a bad environment, and Isabella will not, she must admit that she loves her father and mother, even if her father is so happy and inconsiderate, he is not a qualified king, even if his mother is a little unassertive on weekdays, everything goes according to his father, and he is not a qualified queen. However, as a daughter, Isabella still loves her father and mother.
[Hehe, I didn't expect that I would envy those cold-blooded royals one day. γ
Isabella lay on the bed, a sarcastic smile on her lips.
However, this could not prevent tears from wetting her cheeks, and the princess, who had been high in the past, was now like a helpless girl, and said weakly:
"Goddess...... What the hell should I ...... What to do ......" (to be continued......
