Ranchi and the Empress sat on either side of the elaborately carved dining table, the silver candlesticks looked dignified and solemn in the center of the table, there was no candle flame at the top, and the light outside the window was dim, it was noon, but there was no color reflected on the surrounding utensils, and the air was cloudy and rainy with a hint of cloudy and rainy day.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Kechia."

Ranch thanked the Empress.

After a brief exchange between the two before the meal, the table became quiet again for a long time, and the waiter began to serve dishes one after another.

Until the clock unconsciously turned a little half, and after lunchtime, the attendants cleaned the table for them as if it were before the meal.

Empress Kehia looked out the window at the courtyard, where it was about to rain, and was silent for a moment.

"To be honest, I'm scared of you because no one can guess you."

She said frankly, without looking at Lanch,

"I heard your speech yesterday, it was great, to be honest, I was encouraged, but I was also more afraid, afraid that it would be a bad decision for you to take office."

She didn't know if she should say these things to Ranch Wilford, and she couldn't find a topic, so she had nothing to say in her heart.

"In your opinion, am I more terrifying, or is the Honin Empire more terrifying?"

Lanch asked.

“……”

Empress Kehia did not reply.

Objectively speaking, she actually felt that the man in front of her was far less terrifying than the Huo Ning Empire, which was a question without suspense.

But he was right in front of her, and if this man was an enemy, she would feel uneasy from the bottom of her heart.

"In other words, I am your staunch supporter, and I will do my best to serve you to resist the Huo Ning Empire, do you still think I am terrible?"

Ranch asked again.

"Nope."

Empress Kehia closed her eyes and shook her head.

Receiving such an assurance from Ranchi only made her feel extremely relieved for a moment.

"I'm worried about your standing in the council."

She added.

Even if she is willing to support the new prime minister, she is only a symbol of power in the hearts of the people, and she does not have much power to influence the real power of the parliament, but only a little persuasion of people who may help the prime minister through some personal connections.

The Empress of Kerthia was well aware of what had happened in the House of Lords prior to Lanch's arrival today, and if it weren't for the high level of restraint on both Wilford and Duke Moretti, the divisions and conflicts in the Parliament might have intensified until they could no longer be contained, causing civil unrest.

Ranch heard Kechia's voice as if he remembered the absurd confrontation of the morning.

"They want to get rid of the busker and replace him with monkeys."

He said with some dissatisfaction.

"Pay attention to what you say, Secretary Wilford, Duke Moretti is a good friend of mine."

Empress Kehia reprimanded.

She was surprised that Lanchi would speak wildly at this moment, expressing his thoughts bluntly, and it seemed that he did have a lot of feelings for Duke Moretti.

“……”

Hearing this, Lan Qi lowered his head and was speechless for a long time.

"Although I don't know the specific process of communication between you and Duke Moretti this morning, I believe that you are all starting from the idea of a better idea for the Velant Empire, and I should not interfere in the dispute between you, let alone defend you for right or wrong, I just hear others say bad things about friends, I will never echo them, and I need to correct them."

Empress Kehia began to wonder if she had said the wrong thing, and explained or declared.

"It's just me who doesn't need it."

Ranch said in disappointment.

This immediately worried the Empress of Kerchia again.

"Maybe you're scary, no one will know what your next decision will be, or even what you'll say."

Seeing the slightly depressed Ranchi, Kechia's tone softened a lot.

Cat Boss: "??? ”

It felt like it had learned a new tea ceremony technique.

Sometimes it is a direct expression of dissatisfaction, which seems to be not even a low-grade green tea, but it can actively induce the other party to reprimand, thus posing as a victim and making the other party wonder which side is wrong.

Now that the princess of Kerchia continues to question Ranchi, she may have begun to think more about "whether Duke Moretti is too much".

This is not a low-level green tea method, but a combination of advance and retreat to return to the basics, compared to innocence, even seems to be very upright.

In the course of talking, their relationship became closer.

Ranch was isolated in the House of Lords during the war, but the Lady of Kerhia was clear that she was willing to trust the prime minister.

The ensuing conversation touched on many topics about war and the future of the country, with Empress Kehia expressing her views in a thoughtful manner and Ranchi demonstrating his leadership and loyalty to the Empire, with the Empress asking many questions about Ranchi's decision-making but also being satisfied with Ranchi's answers.

Although the two have different identities and statuses, the subtle mutual understanding and respect between them began to become more and more solid.

Until the end, the agreed lunch time is coming to an end.

Ranch glanced at his watch and politely signaled to Her Majesty that he needed to go about his work.

"I'm sorry, Wilford, for delaying a lot of time you should have rested."

Empress Kerhia suddenly realized that time had passed so quickly.

However, Ranch did not mean to leave in a hurry, just like if the Empress still had questions, he would give priority to answering them until Her Majesty was satisfied.

"I don't really see any hope of winning, maybe in more than a month, the Honin Empire will enter Hersharem."

Empress Kehia exhaled deeply and pointed out the most critical issue with a sharp point,

"What do you think the odds are now?"

Although no one can really answer, she believes that it is not only her, but also the people of the Golant Empire.

She just wanted to hear what Wilford was thinking, maybe he could give himself a little more confidence.

Even if he lied to her, as the main battle faction, he should exaggerate the odds as much as possible.

“ 0。”

Ranch replied.

“……”

Empress Kerchia seemed shocked by Ranchi's candor or sincerity.

At least he should say one hundredth, right?

However, the Empress of Kerchia did not see the slightest hint of lying in Lanchi's eyes.

She was tempted to ask.

If you are the one who is the most convinced that there is no chance of winning, why should you be the first to go against the wind?

"Are you serious?"

In the end, these were the only words that came out of the mouth of the Empress Kehia.

She couldn't empathize with the Prime Minister at the moment, so she could only stare into his emerald green eyes.

She couldn't tell whether it was a clear lake or a bottomless pool, but she accidentally stared at him for a long time, forgetting to look away from her eyes.

"Trust me. There's a saying that 'when you're ready to sacrifice yourself, it's easier for you to sacrifice others', and fighting against the Honing Empire may result in a lot of sacrifices, but until then, I'm ready to sacrifice myself, and I'll do whatever it takes for you to win, Your Majesty." ”

Ranchi was like a knight swearing an oath to the Empress.

But he was different from the usual staunch and brave knights.

It was a vast loneliness and a faint sense of fragility.

“……”

For some reason, Kehia always felt that in front of this man, he did not look like a constitutional monarch with an empty honorable status, but a Ming monarch with absolute imperial power.

It's a huge expectation, and it's a trust that entrusts her with her back.

Let her want to protect this man and support him to complete his heroic and great cause.

"I see."

Empress Kehia groaned, and finally nodded firmly.

Ranch then said a brief farewell to the Empress of Kerchia, saying that he would come back to her, and after receiving her promise, he left the Palace of Sharem for the next trip.

The cat boss is not good to evaluate.

Another human who has not escaped Lanchi's hypnosis, and after a few more treatments, he may be resigned to Lanchi.

Now those people outside the Shadow World, as well as the Huo Ning Empire and the Blood Clan on the other side, may not have realized the seriousness of the problem.

Even the cat boss understands that this is a global strategic hegemony type of movie world, not a character favorability strategy type of movie world!

You're like a god of evil!
