Chapter 61: Waging War for a Woman

Char silently withdrew the wine glass that Solo had just finished drinking, and carefully wiped it with a cloth.

"Hasn't the West Farland Empire always had a good relationship with Britannia?" Char said.

"That's when His Majesty Moriah is here." Solo sighed and said, "After His Majesty Moria's death, the queenless emperor of the West Farland Empire also left after that.

Not surprisingly, he was succeeded by his younger brother, Grand Duke Peidi.

But guess what?

At the enthronement ceremony, Grand Duke Pei Di was directly assassinated! ”

The door to the castle on one side was opened, and Alicia stepped out, placing some of the wine she had taken from the cellar on the wine cabinet behind the bar.

Solo didn't care, and continued, "A shot pierced the lung, and he died on the spot in the carriage of the parade, and then Prince Ernst succeeded to the throne according to the law.

Within a few days of his succession, he asked Britannia to fulfill the marriage contract made by the previous Emperor Moria, and asked to marry the three princesses.

However, as you know, the Three Princesses disappeared not long ago, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

Her Majesty intended to marry Her Royal Highness Eugenia to Ernst in order to make peace between the two countries.

But the new emperor was apparently not pleased, believing that Britannia was deliberately trying to break the engagement. ”

Alicia, who was sorting out the wine cabinet, raised her head and looked at Solo, who was communicating with Char.

"No wonder." Char nodded, "No one would believe that a princess suddenly disappeared without warning under the heavy protection of the palace guards. ”

Solo smiled bitterly twice, "But if we really did it on purpose, it's okay, the key is that Her Majesty really doesn't know the whereabouts of her sister."

Ernst threatened the empress that if Alicia was not found within seven days, he would send troops to Britannia. ”

"For the sake of a woman, to start a war?" Char said with a strange expression.

"People are not the same." Solo sighed.

"Does Her Majesty have any measures?" Char asked.

"I can't say anything about that." "But Britannia is a bit of a mess right now.

Prince Victor did not listen to Her Majesty the Empress, and the southern army he led was difficult to mobilize.

The Marquis of Oss died mysteriously not long ago, and the snow-capped mountains of the Twin Ridges to the east were dangerously unguarded.

There are also many different voices in the parliament. ”

"It sounds like a headache." Char said in obedience.

"yes...."Solo sighed again, Char had already heard him sigh a lot.

"We can only do our best to share Her Majesty's worries."

With that, he got up from his seat and said.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll try your other special bars next time I'm here."

"Your store is going to be very popular." "It's just a matter of time," he said seriously. ”

Char smiled, "I'll borrow your good words." ”

Solo smiled as well, then turned and pushed the door open and left.

Char quietly watched the back of Solo leaving, and he teased, "This Highness Ernst is really infatuated and starts a war for a woman.

The charm of this third princess is really extraordinary. ”

"A wayward fool."

Alicia straightened up and said coldly.

She was in a bad mood at the moment, and her disgust for the new emperor of West Francis named Ernst was almost overflowing.

"Even an emperor cannot start a war between nations at will, let alone a newly succeeded emperor.

To be treated as a puppet by the hawkish courtiers who wage war without knowing it is a stupid guy. ”

Char smiled, but didn't say anything more.

As Alicia said, even the emperor, without a valid reason, could hardly start a war at will.

The investment in a war is very huge, if it is won, it is fine, if it is lost, then the country will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

If he started a war at will, he would inevitably be opposed by his subjects, let alone an emperor who had just succeeded to the throne and had not yet secured the throne.

Behind this, there must be one who really controls the power of the West Francois Empire, or a group of vested interests behind it to promote all this.

Coupled with the mysterious death of his father, it is easy to detect some clues.

And Alicia, just a pretext for starting a war.

Of course, it is not known whether the emperor endured humiliation or was really deceived into planning to go to war against Britannia.

It is undeniable that Britannia is so big that the surrounding countries will not allow such a powerful country to be their neighbors.

Therefore, taking advantage of your illness to kill you is very geopolitical.

These have nothing to do with Char for the time being, it's just that Alicia's mood is estimated to be quite bad....

It seems that Solo leaked the news of the store to his friends, and word of mouth spread that business was booming not long after he left.

As Char thought, as a cocktail that has been practiced in the market, it is only a matter of time before it becomes popular.

Due to the nature of Solo's work, most of the people who came to this tavern were members of some council, and there were many high-ranking officials and nobles.

They especially like the quiet environment of the tavern, which allows them to settle down and enjoy a drink, read a book, and chat with friends, which is not the same feeling of relaxation in their own home or at a friend's house.

There were a lot of people in it who Alicia knew, which gave her a rather strange feeling, but no one could recognize Alicia, and people only thought she was Char's elderly mother, which made Alicia a little depressed.

Although she doesn't want to be Char's cleaner anymore, she doesn't want to be his mother either.

Whenever Char appeared in his matching black apron, there were always the most people in the store, mostly women.

They especially liked to watch Char's juggling bartending, and the ladies could stay in the tavern for hours while Char was around.

When they are really busy, Char will persuade them to drink less, which is not good for their health.

Unexpectedly, this made them feel that Char could not even earn money in order to take care of their bodies, and came more diligently.

Although it is undeniable that Char is indeed charming and has a sense of humor, looking at the amazing turnover, Alicia can't help but wonder if he is using some magic.

Washing those used wine glasses is the most tiring time of the day, and for a person with a slight cleanliness fetish, Alicia always likes to wash the glass several times.

At first, when there were few people, it was easy, but when there were more people, it was a little tiring.

Alicia always tries to say to her own rag, "You're already a mature rag, learn to wipe your own cup." "In the hope that your own magic can make the rag move on its own.

In fact, she really succeeded, and one day, there were so many cups left in the shop that Alicia couldn't finish washing, so she put them aside to rest, and when she returned, the cups were washed and put aside.

She originally thought it was Char or Arthur who washed it, but they all said it wasn't them, until one day, Alicia secretly pretended to leave, but actually hid under the sofa, and saw her moving rag.

When there was no one, the cloth would be motionless, but when there was no one, it would automatically start washing the cups, which was very strange to Alicia.

Can a rag also be shy? She thought to herself.
