Despite the lack of delays along the way, it took Veronica nearly two months to reach Winterfell from Osteria.

Although there are flying monsters in this world, there are many deficiencies that limit its use, such as extremely expensive to raise and train, such as difficult to control, etc., especially in terms of manning, unless it is a well-trained magician, even if ordinary people do not fall, it is difficult to withstand a long time in the air.

And most importantly, flying over the airspace of other countries, especially the capitals, on flying mounts can be seen as a provocation – even though it is difficult for the world to engage in decent "air combat".

Therefore, Veronica, as the ambassador of Tulum, can only honestly take the honor guard carriage when visiting the Western Continent.

Whenever you pass through a place, you must also send an emissary to greet the local lord, otherwise it will be considered an invasion.

Under this kind of trouble, it is not easy to arrive in Xia Ya within two months.

However, Veronica, who returned to Twilight, could not enter the fortress directly like the others.

There is no custom in the Tulum Kingdom that "the two parties cannot see each other before the wedding", but as a member of the royal family, Veronica has to observe more red tape, and the ceremonial officials are very insistent on this.

As a result, Colin had to follow Cellesbury's request and urgently build a secluded villa with a courtyard in Winterfell a few months ago for Veronica to stay before the wedding, and in principle, the unmarried couple could only meet at the wedding in ten days' time.

However, Colin was never one to follow the arrangement, and when Matthew personally presided over the construction of this villa, he made a special request - a huge wardrobe needed in the princess's bedroom.

Matthew vaguely sensed that this request was a bit unorthodox, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

……

Late at night.

Veronica stood by the window, observing the streets of Twilight with her limited vision.

Along the way into the city, what intrigued her the most was the wide and smooth roads and neat houses.

However, Veronica, who could only sit in the carriage and peek out, was limited in what she could see, and Colin had boasted to her countless times about the construction of Winterfell City, which made her even more curious.

It's a pity that she has to wait for another ten days before she can see the whole city after the wedding.

While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a noise.

She turned her head alertly to look at the source of the sound, but was shocked to find that the wardrobe was slowly opened, and a man gracefully stepped out of it, and skillfully closed the closet door.

Veronica seemed to be back in time two months ago in Osteria.

"When I came in, I thought this wardrobe was too conspicuous, but after checking it, there was no magic array you left before."

"I've improved a little bit."

Colin smiled and didn't elaborate.

He is more and more experienced in the teleportation array, in addition to still needing the assistance of equipment, the magic circle itself has become simpler and simpler, and it can be completely integrated into the structure of the wardrobe itself, unless it is deliberately searched by a magician who has studied the magic pattern, ordinary people cannot detect it at all.

The layout of this room deliberately mimics the bedroom in Veronica in Osteria. As before, Colin sat down in the chair behind his desk with his fiancée in his arms.

"When will Father and Master Roman arrive?"

"It should have been these two days." Colin asked, "Are you going well on this journey?" ”

"It's smoother than when I went." Veronica sighed and frowned: "During this visit, the relationship between Tulum and the Western Continent has become much closer, and when I passed by Gilman, Grand Duke Schulz personally came forward to see him off. ”

"Then why are you still sighing?"

"I'm afraid this won't last long."

"Why? Could something big happen? "Colin's mind during this time is indeed not on the Western Continent, but he will appear in Ilya basically every day, and he is confident that he will not miss any important news, especially news that can affect the Western Continent and Tulum.

"Speaking of which, it's still the same old thing." Veronica said, "The Duchy of Brighton has made it clear that it wants to break away from the Blue Alliance. ”

"Why haven't I heard?" Colin was stunned.

"This matter is still only circulating within the federation."

"And how do you know?"

"Because Brighton's ambassador to Thunder City met with His Majesty a few days ago, explained the matter and made a proposal for an alliance."

"Brighton? And Tulum? Ally? Colin was stunned for a moment.

In the eyes of the entire Western Continent, Tulun is a bloated and huge hillbilly.

In addition to doing some dispensable business, the biggest role is to check and balance Oshik.

As one of the oldest powers in the Western Continent, Brighton does not have a very good impression of Tulum, whether official or non-governmental.

"It's not hard to understand." Veronica said: "Brighton also knows that it is not easy to break away from the alliance, relying only on themselves, even if they succeed, they will shed a layer of skin, the federation will not let this happen easily, President Verne Silas will definitely try to prevent it, and although Brighton is strong, it cannot be compared with the entire federation, so it is not a surprising decision to propose an alliance with Tulum." ”

Colin nodded, this was really an unexpected and reasonable thing.

For Brighton, looking for foreign reinforcements is nothing more than O'Sik and Tulum.

However, Oshik is too powerful, and his ambitions for the entire continent have gradually been disguished over the years, and forming an alliance with it is simply a sheep's mouth.

The Tulum Kingdom, on the other hand, is a typical well-kept and enterprising kingdom, and is a perfect ally in every way.

Brighton needs a helper who is strong enough, and Tulum aspires to a higher level of magical scholarship.

As long as Brighton are willing to let go of their arrogance, it almost comes to pass.

"What does Your Majesty think?" Colin asked.

"If it was before, there would be no need to think about it, the Brighton sent to the door can not only weaken the Blue Alliance, but also add a helper, which is simply killing two birds with one stone."

Veronica said, "But now...... Our relationship with the Blue Alliance has just improved, and turning around and forming an alliance with the independent Duchy of Brighton will obviously anger the Federation. ”

Colin knew well how Veronica was feeling.

Once she formed an alliance with Brighton, her Royal Highness the princess's diplomatic achievements in the past few years would have been in vain, and if she had known this, it would have been better to come to Xia Ya and Colin to reunite as soon as possible.

What Colin thinks about is what impact this matter will have on the Banner Wizards' Fraternity and the Principality of Banner joining the Blue Alliance.
