The conversation with Lorens was going well, the rookie of the Noldor Elf family was born with a keen nerve, and was very good at dealing with people, and the process of communicating with him always made people feel surprisingly comfortable - and most importantly, he knew very well what the other party wanted from him, and he was able to take the opportunity to get what he wanted, which was undoubtedly very successful.

From some of Lorens's words, Theodore could also vaguely feel that although the war in the Forest of Silence had made many of the Noldor elves angry and eager for revenge on the orcs, the ruin of their homeland had also made more elves choose to return to their old lives and rebuild their homes.

At the same time, the heavy casualties caused by the war also gave the Noldor elves too much stimulation, and they became passive and war-weary - hundreds of years of stable life, the prosperous and fertile Forest of Silence gave them very comfortable conditions to live without fighting with others, and it was impossible for the Noldor elves, who had not fought since the time of Aragorn, to become belligerent all of a sudden.

Among them, the eastern elves are the most prominent, while the southern elves are still busy rebuilding their homes. Only the Northern Elves may be due to the prestige of the Noldor Sword Saint Alpha Yi, and this hometown of warriors in the Elven World Realm is very emotional about it, but there are not many of them, because the north is the most sparsely populated area in the Silent Forest.

Rather than sending troops to help the "Emperor of Man" regain lost territory, most of the Noldor elves still prefer material help - Lorens swore that every year the Noldor elves would provide Rome with "enough food for 100,000 people for a year"!

Not only that, but even the Noldor Elven Specialty Long Knife could be sold to Rome - such a razor-sharp weapon proved to be extremely effective against orcs, but it was also expensive. At the same time, there were some Noldor hunters who were willing to join the Roman legions as mercenaries as archery instructors. Theodore still remembers the terrifying rapid-fire skills of the Noldor hunters during the battle in the Silent Forest—ten arrows before the first arrow hits the ground, a terrifying "rain of arrows". Even if you can't kill the enemy, it will damage morale, and you can't attack with such a frequency that a heavy crossbow can't do anyway.

And the return that Rome has to pay, in fact, is very small - although they are unwilling to fight, but the elves are even more unwilling to be slaughtered on the battlefield, Theodore promised to send twenty instructors to help the Noldor elves reorganize and train their army, there is nothing more convincing than the truth in this world, the achievements of the Roman legions on the battlefield are enough to explain many things, so that the Noldor elves understand the importance of discipline again.

The only thing that disappointed Theodore. Sibea, who had remained in Caesarea, had now returned early—Lorence had left before Theodore came, which made him wonder if the ranger had left in such a hurry because she didn't want to see her.

Although he said that he didn't care about this, Theodore still felt a little depressed, and his psychological face was indescribably irritable, he felt that he actually wanted Cibea to stay, but he didn't want to accept the other party.

Presumably sensing Theodore's mood change, Lorens took his timely farewell and left—Sibea's departure was his idea. Lorens, who came from the Lagrange family, was extremely sharp-minded. He didn't want to admit it, but he could sense that Miss Sibea did have a crush on this human—it was too dangerous for Lorens.

There was hardly anyone among the young men of Anduria who was unaware of Lorens' affection for Cibea of Aldalia, and he longed to be noticed. But it's a pity that the proud Sibea never paid attention to this guy standing behind her, and it was only recently that she was slowly brought into the sight of the female ranger.

Lorens hated humans - though he never showed them, and he hated them for their endless desires, which seemed to him that since Theodore had obtained Helena. You should let go of Miss Sibea quickly. Fortunately, the other party turned out to be really as he expected, and the overjoyed Lawrence didn't have time to arrange more, so he let Sibea go back first. He had to get the Ranger out of Theodore's shadow as soon as possible, and it was better to forget about him—a little difficult, of course.

Just as Theodore was about to leave, the chief flag officer of the Knights of Dawn suddenly came to him, and the reason made him extremely stunned: "You said Helena, she ordered the Knights of Dawn to go north?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Terenus's older and older face was a little embarrassed, in fact, Helena had told him that he was not allowed to tell Theodore about it, at first Terenus didn't think too much, just thought that Her Royal Highness was worried about the safety of Duke Mistermai but didn't dare to say it explicitly, but when he knew that this matter was Ludwig's opinion, Terenus couldn't help but be cautious.

Tyrenus didn't know what the former brother was up to, he just instinctively suspected that there might be some conspiracy on the other side - he wasn't even sure if some of his knights were members of "Under the Dawn", so he quietly came to Theodore while the knights were packing up their things— Terenus was smart, but he knew better what he was supposed to do, and Theodore was the emperor of Rome, and it was up to him to decide the future, not some conspiracy or fool who thought he was smart.

Although he felt that he had lost his trust to His Majesty Helena in this way, Terenus could not control much - but he still kept Ludwig secret, and Duke Bran had just been canonized as the governor of the four provinces, and such a period should not spoil the relationship between the two of them.

"My sweet little princess, you really make it difficult for me. Theodore smiled bitterly more and more helplessly: "Let the Knights of the Dawn go, after all, this is the first time that Her Majesty Helena has exercised her power, and I can't harm her authority." However, they are not allowed to leave the camp until they are ordered to do so. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Terenus let out a sigh of relief, he didn't want Theodore to snub Helena for such a thing, bowed slightly and left.

—————————————————————————————————————

Although Helena had always told herself that she was doing it for Theodore's sake, it was all for his own good. But when he saw that smile, Her Royal Highness the little princess, who should now be called Queen Helena, still looked like a thief, timidly erecting her increasingly plump breasts, and her sapphire eyes swaying back and forth still made Theodore laugh.

"Please don't laugh like that, Your Majesty Theodore, it's rude!" Helena tried to make a serious appearance, but her face was already flushed, "It's like...... I'm laughing like I'm a fool!"

"Oh, how could it be, you are the Empress of the Empire, my princess. Theodore replied solemnly, but the smile that still did not stop revealed his heart, until he was stared at for a long time by those resentful eyes before he quickly retracted it: "Okay, well, I admit it, but it's not what you think." ”

"I'm going to hear you explain. Helena puffed up her arms and looked at Theodore, who was still holding back a smile, and couldn't help grinding the sharp little tiger teeth: "You can say it, Your Majesty Theodore." ”

Looking at Helena who was "beating a rake", Theodore sat down slowly, gently stroked her little head with his right hand, and her long silky hair was as smooth as flowing water: "I'm very happy that our Helena has finally grown up, no longer the little princess of the past, but an adult who knows how to think." ”

"I'm still going to be angry when you say that—it's like saying that I've never grown up!" Helena pouted, stretching out her little pink fist and slapping Theodore: "Aren't you worried about Aaron, I know how much you care about him, how important he is to you." ”

"That's right, if Aaron really had something happen to him in the north, I would definitely send an army to avenge him. But before that, we should trust those who are still worthy of our trust. Theodore felt angry and amused: "In the north, the Ryan tribe has already pledged allegiance to me, they have nearly 20,000 excellent warriors on standby, and at this time, only one order is enough, why do you need to let the Knights of the Dawn go north?"

"Well............" Although it sounded very reasonable, Helena was still unwilling to admit that she was wrong, and not to be outdone, she looked at Theodore, and her little mouth was pouted high, as if she was hanging a kettle.

"Terenus and the Knights of the Dawn are important to me right now, they will be one of the important factors in the reform of the military system, I need his ability and prestige, and he should not leave at this time. Theodore said in a deep voice, "Moreover, it is indeed too much for an old man to endure the bumps of the voyage. ”

"Or ...... Let him come back. The little princess was finally a little embarrassed, and when she thought of the dizzy and vomiting appearance of the old man Terenus on the ship, her always gentle heart couldn't help but soften: "They shouldn't have set off yet, and it's too late to let them come back now." ”

"No, I have already asked the fleet of Caesarea Harbor to allocate their ships. Theodore smiled and shook his head: "In any case, Aaron, as the Duke of Mistema, will chill the nobles of the north if I don't make some indications." ”

"And more importantly, if I let them come back, it would be disrespectful to you – no matter what happens, I won't let you be hurt again, that's my promise, my promise to you. ”

"Theodore ......" Helena, whose face was blushing and about to drip, finally stopped being reserved in her heart, and dedicated her bright red lips to her "half prince". (To be continued......)
