Wind and rain.

Onisha, dressed in a simple white robe, walked slowly to the door of the study. She stared at the raindrops in the night sky, and was silent for a moment.

Her face was paler than the clothes on her body.

An Lan's situation became more and more tense, and the pressure on the shoulders of the female archduke became heavier and heavier, so heavy that she even felt that she had no strength to bear it anymore.

Within the principality, several major aristocratic lords have completely united, mercilessly snatching the power in their hands. In her eyes, these despicable creatures are like cruel hyenas one after another, constantly eating away at what little dignity she has left.

In front of them, Onesha didn't have any advantages, not to mention, behind several of the nobles, there was an extraordinary power behind them.

It was a powerful force from outside the principality, and it was also an unrivaled behemoth.

In Onetsa's childhood memories, Anlan was just a small and comfortable country in the middle of nowhere. It is located in the southern foothills of the Cast Iron Mountains, between beautiful mountain beams and river valleys, and is considered to be on the edge of the entire southern region. At that time, its geographical location was not important, its national strength was not strong, and its impact on the situation on the mainland was even more minimal.

But now?

The situation on the mainland is chaotic, the former overlord has fallen from the throne, and even the Holy See of Light, which ruled the entire south, is now torn apart.

At the same time, one after another covetous eyes were slowly invested here.

It's all because of the "Path of the Lightwalkers".

Since there is this passage that runs through the north and south, the status of An Lan has suddenly become important. To the south, it is able to communicate with the Holy Alliance and the Torm Federation. The ability to reach the Snowton Empire to the north was of extraordinary value and significance, both in terms of commerce and trade and military strategy.

So, when An Lan gradually became chaotic, they began to intervene.

From fanning the flames to fueling the flames, they secretly supported the Anlan nobles who obeyed their orders. In a vain attempt to use it as a spokesman, in order to take full control of this increasingly important country.

But what Onisha didn't expect was that it also included the Snowton Empire.

What was once an alliance treaty is now a dead letter.

However, slowly, she was able to understand this. If the Snowton Empire can control Anlan, it will be equivalent to opening up a springboard to the southern region. As well as forward bases. Once the northern regions are unified, the Snowton Empire will be able to move south and start their grand plan to dominate the continent.

What is the point of sacrificing a dispensable ally before this great goal?

What's more, the relationship between Nacini and himself was originally a mutual use, and the fact that he was able to sign the treaty at that time was largely based on Allegri's face.

Come to think of it. Onisha sighed again.

It's really a hot and cold world, and people's hearts are fickle.

According to the intelligence that has just been obtained. Allegri had returned to the Herseus Valley a day earlier. If I had been in a normal situation, I would have been so excited that I would have immediately gone to the valley to ask for help.

This should be the only reinforcement he can find now.

No, no, she shook her head slightly. Talking to himself, his heart is as calm as water.

Some time ago, when Allegri was not in the mercenary group, Onesha had sent messengers to ask for their help.

But after the letterhead arrived. The mercenary group still stood still, and even today, there has been no response.

From that time on, Onisha suddenly discovered that the relationship between the two parties had long since changed.

However, their reactions can still be understood.

In this wrestling with the aristocratic group, he is undoubtedly at a disadvantage, while the other party has an overwhelming advantage. Even Onesha herself had to admit that she had almost no chance of winning. Especially as time goes by, it will be difficult for you to stand alone, and the power in your hands will only be eaten away more and more, and the probability of being able to reverse will become lower and lower.

If the mercenary group fully intervenes in the chaos, it will be equivalent to being an enemy of the entire noble camp, and it will inevitably invite their crazy revenge. And with the existing military strength in the Herseus Valley, it is impossible to compete with the army of more than 100,000 in Anlan. By that time, the foundation that Allegri had just laid would inevitably be wiped out in the flames of war.

These concerns, she understands, she understands everything.

If Allegri were still in the valley, he might have hesitated with his character. However, the current mercenary group is not just Allegri's mercenary group, it also carries the hope and future of many people. Therefore, even if Andre will not get in the way, Dios and others will definitely make the decision not to move.

Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Many years ago, when she was a little girl, she had heard her father and her brother talk about these principles of governing the country.

However, she didn't feel that she had done anything "unjust", why did she become so isolated?

She stretched out her hand slightly to feel it, and a trace of raindrops rushed into her palm, like gentle fingers caressing herself.

It's been a long time since I've felt this way, right?

She is the noble Grand Duke of the Principality of Anlan, and everywhere she goes, she is surrounded by either loyal subordinates or cunning and ruthless political enemies, who dares or is willing to touch her hand?

What's more, all her parents and relatives have returned to heaven, and now, she doesn't even have friends to talk to.

She lowered her head, withdrew her rain-soaked right hand, and held her left hand firmly, slowly savoring the feeling she hadn't felt in a long time.

"Your Highness," at this moment, a tall knight in armor walked in quickly, bowed slightly, and said, "Your subordinates are ready. ”

"Oh?" Onisha was slightly stunned, and said with a gentle face, "Okay, it's really hard for you." ”

"I am willing to drive for His Highness. The knight clasped his right hand and saluted again.

Onesha took a deep breath and turned to look around the familiar room, where a few slightly withered flowers and leaves were scattered in the white porcelain vase on the desk.

Who knows, after tonight, will he be able to return to this study room, which has left many deep memories of himself?

Her expression changed for a moment, and finally she turned around and strode towards the door, shouting in a clear voice.

"Let's go!" (to be continued......)
