Chapter 348: Marquis of the Empire
The palace dinner was very bright, and all the gas lamps from the Hilton were lit, and from the main hall to the garden outside, it was as if it were in a sea of stars.
Representatives of all classes of the kingdom and nobles to be divided roamed around the high tables that filled the garden, drinking wine and tasting food, and even the most modest noblewomen would quickly pour food into their mouths, and they could not imagine that the chefs of Hilton could make so many delicacies.
"The Lord of Sorrows is the one who corrects people's grief and gives hope to mankind, and He says that if you are sad because you miss the sun, you may also miss the moon." While eating braised pork ribs with chopsticks, Klaus said to the ministers in the hall, "This Hilton chef will serve the court with his team in the future." ”
"That's right, we can't dwell on the mistakes of the past, grieve and blame ourselves too much, otherwise we won't have the energy to make changes." The Chancellor of the Exchequer nodded earnestly, then picked up a piece of ribs and said, "Praise to the Lord of Sorrows, I will carefully plan Emmanulsen, and I will eat such a delicacy in the future!" ”
"Put down your baggage and run to a new life." Klaus nodded approvingly.
"If there are difficulties in construction, we can provide interest-free loans." The maid on one side said.
"There are difficulties, needs, needs, praise be to the Lord of sorrows!" The Chancellor of the Exchequer swallowed the ribs in one gulp and said excitedly, "It's so delicious!" ”
Seeing that the ministers below were mingling with the deacons of the Church of the Sage, the Sixth King quietly asked the man sitting beside him, "Your Highness the Sage, what is the Lord of Sorrows, isn't the Church of the Sage what you say?" ”
"Yes, the Lord of Sorrows is Klaus's new title for me, after all, there are rumors in the church that the Dark Sage is the eighth demon, so we admit it and it's over." Hearing this, he explained.
"Ahem~" The archbishop of the church sitting on the side heard that he was stuck by a fish bone, and the bishop next to him immediately took wine to him, but he seemed to have been summoned by God, and he had already pulled the wind box after two sips of wine.
"Hee~Hee~"
Seeing that the archbishop was about to die here, the Templar in charge of protecting him ran straight forward, then put his hand into the archbishop's mouth, fumbled for a while, and then brought out a set of dentures.
"Bang~" The Templar threw the dentures on the table, and then called the court servants to wash their hands with a basin of water, the archbishop over there had already eased up and was slowly calming down, which made the medical apostles who were going to run over for treatment stunned, and the clergy of the church were really loud.
"Your Excellency, I know that you are religious, but if you have any grievances, you don't need to die here, it's scary." He glanced at the archbishop and said.
"I'm just a little surprised when the Holy See has been so publicized." Hearing this, the archbishop looked at him weakly, "I remember they said that the fallen angels stole the holy medicine. ”
"You are the version of the Holy See, and the matter of the Eighth Demon was spread by the Monastery of St. Quina Ann Lena in the Holy Land." "The elite monks will eventually gain God's approval and go to Hilton to slay the Eighth Demon King. ”
"Since there is still such a story." The archbishop nodded, propagating heresy was a serious crime, and he planned to write to the Holy See to ask.
"So all this is well-founded, is there anything else Your Excellency Archbishop has anything to say?" Ask.
The archbishop shook his head slightly and silently put away his dentures.
Seeing this, the sixth king on the side wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, today was his first dinner after ascending the throne, he didn't want to see blood, in order to ease the embarrassment of the atmosphere, he asked the court earl standing behind him, "What about the representatives sent by Hegmont to attend the coronation ceremony, didn't he say that there was something to discuss?" Everybody's here, let him come over. ”
"Yes, my majesty." The Count nodded and walked out, quickly finding the Imperial representative from the palace garden and bringing it back.
"Your Majesty King Emanulsen VI, Marquis of the Hagmont Empire, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Ministers of Foreign Affairs salutes you with the highest respect." The Imperial Marquis walked over and bowed and said.
"The highest respect? You didn't even kneel. The Sixth King glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Mr. Marquis?" Or the minister, please take a seat. ”
A servant immediately brought a chair and added a stool to him outside the dining table.
The Marquis did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with this, he sat down generously, not caring at all that the broken chair had scratched his stockings, and went straight to the point and said, "The Emperor has sent me here, first, to attend the coronation ceremony of His Majesty, and secondly, about the war alliance between the Empire and the Kingdom. ”
"War Alliance?" Hearing this, the Sixth smiled slightly, "Does Mr. Marquis think that we Emanulsen still have the strength to fight a war?" ”
"Of course Your Majesty has this strength, if you can recover the kingdom, then you can send troops to the Vol Plain and teach those barbarians a lesson." The Marquis smiled.
The smile on the corner of the sixth king's mouth gradually faded when he heard this, everyone knows what happened to Emanuelsen's ability to restore the country, and everyone with a discerning eye knows what Emmanulsson's strength is, so it is not so much to cooperate with Emmanuelsen as to cooperate with the Church of the Sage behind it.
The Sixth King frowned slightly, and then looked at the Emperor, who nodded when he saw this, and then said, "I suggest that Your Majesty the King listen to the content of the alliance of the Empire, after all, it should be with great sincerity to come so far and cross the territory of the Vol clan at this time." ”
"That's right, the whole empire is very sincere in forming an alliance with the Emanulsen Kingdom." The Marquis looked at the Sixth King and said, his eyes not even looking at the other side.
"Let's hear about it." Hearing this, the Sixth nodded and inadvertently swept to the archbishop who was staring at the table in a daze, is the empire afraid of making bad friends with the church, so he used himself as a cover?
Seeing that the sixth nodded, the marquis said the content of the alliance, first of all, standing on the moral high ground to attack the barbarism and crimes of the tribe, of course, these are also facts, and then between the past injuries of the kingdom, it is necessary to take revenge, which is also a matter of course, and finally put forward the distribution of benefits and specific matters, giving the greatest sincerity.
"The kingdom is advancing in a straight line from the border without a ditch in Emanulsen to the territory of the Vol, and the empire is advancing from the opposite side, thus cutting off the Vol from it, and we will defend together in the face of the resistance of the Wal in the west, and the territory of both sides shall be bounded by the median line, and the width shall be based on the width of the kingdom's border."
The marquis said and looked at the sixth king, "And the kingdom doesn't need to send many troops, the empire will be the main force on the ground battlefield, what does Your Majesty think so?" ”
Hearing this, the Sixth King nodded slowly, and then looked at the Marquis, "What about the defense of the area east of the Great Ditch of the Kingdom?" ”
"That doesn't need Your Majesty to worry about, it's not within the scope of the alliance." The Marquis smiled.
"Is the empire going to take care of things over there?" King VI asked.
"That's right, the Empire will take care of things over there." The Marquis pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, leaving aside those irrelevant things, our covenant is very good, and this is the first signed by the Empire in so many years. ”
