Verse 133 returns

Ashruphat walked into the conference room with the guards in his hands.

After a short absence, this room has changed a lot. Tables and chairs were missing, except for the throne in the middle of the room. The throne looked familiar, and Ashrufat thought for a moment to make sure it was the one in the palace conference room.

The entire conference room has been transformed into a small hall. Gruny's queen, Luvia 61 Angel 61 Macrémiz, was sitting on her throne at this time.

The guard saluted the little queen and withdrew. Ashruphat remembered that he had not prescribed such rules for the guards to lead the way. However, he is no longer the head of the palace, so the changes that have occurred in the palace have already been decided by Her Majesty the Queen.

"How's it going to be here, isn't it pretty?" the little girl looked at him with a smile. "A dwarven architect designed and built it for me. ”

"Although...... The renovation cost is only a small amount of money, but it is better to save it. Ashrufat replied.

A hint of annoyance flashed on the little girl's face, but it disappeared immediately. It is said that practice is the best teacher. The little girl was in power for several months. To be honest, a few months is not a long time, but it is enough to make a huge difference in the little girl. Originally, she couldn't help but expose her face to what she thought, but now she was able to hide her true mood under the mask of calm.

"I've already met Iryn," the little girl changed the subject. "According to him, he is with you...... Yours...... The fiancées came together. ”

Ashrufat was already aware of the appointment. In fact, everyone already knew about it, and the Marquis of Ellenn had officially become the prime minister of this small court. Everyone knows that the Marquis of Elynne is a veteran minister, including the little queen, who has served three generations of monarchs. In addition, he is very capable of doing things, and he has a conservative personality, and he is quite famous among the aristocracy, and becoming a prime minister is not offensive, if not expected.

"Well, yes. In fact, they are not the only ones who come...... Countess Marianne, I call her Aunt Mary. Ashrufat replied in a calm tone. "Thank you so much for providing them with accommodation. ”

This matter seems a little strange to outsiders. Before they arrived, the little girl had already designated a place for them to live. Although Ishrufat was the Chancellor of the Exchequer and had a prominent and important position, it did not make the Queen personally concerned about the accommodation of his family. One can only guess that this is a political maneuver that is played and pulled.

"You came here to be a personal guard before, did you rely on her connection?"

"That's right. Ashrufat replied. Hearing this answer, the little girl raised her chin proudly.

"I'll meet that Shirley later, and your other fiancées. ”

"Absolutely. Ashrufat replied. His voice was still calm, but the little girl still felt an indescribable sense of frustration. She bit her lip hard.

"Ashrufat, I seriously consider what you said yesterday...... The one about the war. The little girl finally decided not to discuss the topic anymore. "What should we do?"

"To be honest, I'm hoping to solve the problem in the short term. Byron looked like he had made up his mind to be a shrunken turtle and compete with us for time. He's never going to take the initiative, so we have to take the initiative to attack. Ashrufat replied. "Rafa's whereabouts are still unknown, and although I don't know what the road is about, I'm afraid there will be no action in the short term. In other words, this period should be key. ”

"What do you mean......"

"Rafa is probably going to wait and see. I suspect that he was not as determined to start a rebellion as Byron, so he would have waited patiently for the results. This result will determine his actions. Oh, actually, I should say that all men, perhaps the barbarians, including the church, including Tiberius, all those forces that are at present silent are waiting for the outcome between us Byron. Therefore, it is very likely that the first battle will be a decisive battle. ”

"The first battle is the decisive battle......

"Whether both sides want it or not, it will have this effect. Although the casualties of the battle itself are likely not fatal to either side, or even have a significant impact. But the outcome of the war will make the other parties choose to take sides, which will be very fatal. I don't think Byron was aware of this, because I heard that he was still strengthening the defenses of Fornoros...... But no matter how strong the defense of that city is, it is just a stone coffin. ”

"However, he is now linked to rebels everywhere...... An alliance was formed. The little girl replied.

"Yes, that means he's quite strong. Ashruphat paused, his eyes looking at the little girl on the throne. "So, in this war, you have to fight in person. ”

"Dear...... Pro-conscription?"

"That's right, the royal driver. Personally command the army and go to the battlefield in person. Ashrufat looked at the little girl. "It takes a lot of courage. ”

"I'm in command?" asked the little girl, a little surprised. After all, she is a queen, and although she has basic fighting skills, she has no military skills. After all, a queen personally goes to the battlefield to command the army...... There is little precedent for this unless it is really compelled to do so.

"Yes, you command. Ashrufat said. "It's not just about strategizing, it's about putting on armor. ”

"But...... I won't. The little girl suddenly felt a flustered for no reason.

"It's okay, I'll help you then. Of course, I'm just an assistant. Ashrufat said. "But don't worry too much, it's not difficult, all you need is courage. With courage, everything is simple. And our Prime Minister and Acting Chancellor of the Exchequer will need a little time to familiarise themselves with the working environment. So we should be able to wait a while. ”

When she heard the words "Acting Chancellor of the Exchequer", a sudden surge of anger rushed into Xiaoya's mind.

"I'll decide for myself. She replied haughtily. "Besides, the person you recommended is not the acting Chancellor of the Exchequer!"

Ashrufat's face was still calm, and he didn't seem to hear the little girl's words at all.

"Now, then, allow me to resign as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ashrufat said. "Because I'm afraid I don't have much time to focus on finances and to prepare for this war with all my might. ”

"Your Majesty," a guard walked in, reporting. "Lord Minde asks to see you. ”

"I don't have anything else to report. Ashrufat said. "I'll take my leave. ”

With that, he turned and left. The little girl wanted to stop it, but she didn't say it.

Ashrufat walked out of the courtyard and met Minde at the intersection of the courtyard and the courtyard. The latter immediately greeted him. "Lord Earl, it's been a long time, where have you been? Why, you report to the queen on the fiscal and tax work?"

"I've been there in the barracks. As for fiscal taxation...... These troubles are no longer my business. Ashrufat replied. "I'm not Chancellor of the Exchequer anymore. ”

"Ah......" Minde was stunned. "For what?"

"I resigned. Ashrufat replied. Her Majesty the Queen has also agreed. ”

Ashrufat's figure was gone, and only Minde didn't come back to his senses for a long time. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is gone? What does that mean? A chance, or a trap? He thought too much and too far ahead, so he thought about it for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that the guard had been waiting in front of him for a long time.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I've waited a long time, is Her Majesty the Queen going to see me?"

"I'm sorry, sir. The guard replied. "She said I want you to come back at another time. ”

......

The figure of Ashrufat left the doorway, and the little girl stood alone on the edge of her throne, biting her lip tightly.

Beside her, a rather cleverly camouflaged small door was pushed open, and the mother-in-law stepped out of it. It was obvious that she had been hiding here for some time, so she had heard all the conversations between the little girl and Ashrufat.

The little girl rushed over and rushed into her mother-in-law's arms. "Am I doing something wrong?" her voice was mixed with a hint of crying. "I would have liked to tell him that I had been missing him all these days when he was away. It hurts so much to think about him...... But when we met, I couldn't control myself and said those stupid things. I can't pass on my thoughts to him for anything. Is he starting to hate me? Why am I doing this? Obviously in pain, but he says something insincere?"

"Silly boy, it's because you're in love with him. ”

"It turns out that liking someone is such a painful thing!"

"Yes, so love, it makes a person change. The mother-in-law gently stroked the little girl's hair. "It doesn't matter if you fail once. But you must learn to put your thoughts, your thoughts, your concern for him, with your mouth, with your eyes, expressions, movements, to express it. Although you are a queen now, she is only your courtier. But you have to retain a bit of a woman's tenderness and charm for him. ”

"Charm? But I ...... He seemed to only see me as a child. ”

"Rest assured, you will be a wonderful woman in the future, drawing all his eyes to yourself. Learn to be bold and reserved. The mother-in-law smiled softly. "A queen needs to attract everyone's attention, and an ordinary woman only needs to attract the attention of one person. If the former can be done, the latter should not be difficult at all. ”

......

"Shirley, what's wrong with you?"

Shirley turned her head and looked at Xingqi behind her, with a trance-like expression on her face. They had lived together for quite some time, so the initial estrangement between them had dissipated a lot.

"I think...... It's a little weird. Shirley replied.

"What's strange, didn't we make it all the way to Eagle Castle?"

"The queen will help me arrange a place to live. Shirley replied. "But Ashrufat couldn't touch it. ”

"Maybe he's busy. As for the accommodation...... Maybe he's taken seriously, or maybe it's something else, but it's a good thing anyway, isn't it?"
