vs 44 Family affection

"Hey!"

Saviara's sigh ruined the peace of the area, and she pushed open the door of the villa in the company of the maid and walked out to the beach, where she was not at all interested in the beauty she had never tired of seeing, she only came out to blow the cold wind.

On the empty beach, Saviara's figure looked unusually lonely, and the breeze blew the silver threads above her head, making her thin body tremble slightly.

The maids looked at the old man trembling in the wind, and wanted to step forward to put on a thicker cloak for the old lady, but the old lady refused, so they had to stand at the position of the wind outlet to block the cold wind.

After a long time, the old lady regained her gaze and looked at the bewildered maids beside her, looked at their cautious expressions, smiled wryly and waved at them, and draped her cloak over her body.

"Mother!" Saviara was about to continue wandering around when a familiar call suddenly sounded in her ears, and she turned her head to see the little daughter in the mage's robe in the attic of the villa in the distance, waving her hands vigorously.

"Mother. When the voice came again, Phyllis's figure instantly arrived at Saviara's side under the influence of the circle.

"I have something to ask you..."Phyllis did not wrap her arms around her mother like a child when she saw her mother as she had done before, this time with a very serious expression.

"Stand down first. Saviara dismissed the maid beside her.

"In the morning... I came out of the lab and heard my brothers and sisters talking about something. Phyllis stared into her mother's eyes, "They say that Penny planned an assassination against Brother Pedy, and even almost succeeded, and that Brother Pedy's Chief Minister was killed in the assassination, which... Is it true?"

Saviara listened quietly to her little daughter's question, watched the disappearance in her little daughter's eyes, and opened her mouth not knowing how to explain.

"I have the right to know the truth, Mother!"

"It's over, Phyllisβ€”" Sevia stretched out her hand to caress her little daughter's face.

Phyllis dodged her mother's hand, "What did you just say, your daughter...", she pointed to the north, "wanted to assassinate your son, and you actually told it was over... I just want to know the truth!"

"These things don't need to be cared about by you, all you have to do now is complete your studies at the Mage Tower. Saviara did not answer the question, she could not tell her little daughter about the cruel thing.

"Tell me, Mother... I'm also part of the Reagan family, and I have the right to know all this. Phyllis accentuated, "If you don't want to tell me, I'll ask Brother Pedy." ”

"Phyllis..."Seviala stepped forward, stretched out her hand again and gently stroked the hair scattered on her little daughter's shoulders, and whispered softly, "Your brother is now the king, and your sister is now leading the thousands of people of the Suke Plain..."

"So, are they telling the truth?" Phyllis took a step back again to avoid her mother's hand, "How could Penny do this, didn't she know that it would make Brother Pedi very sad like this?" she pointed to her mother, "You just hid here and didn't do anything?

Saiala silently withdrew her hands, and she smiled miserably, "I'm just an old man in his last years, and I can't take care of your affairs now, and I won't care about it anymore." She suddenly felt cold, tightened her cloak and whispered, "One of them is a king, and one needs to lead the Suke Plain, what can I do?"

"Then let's have a war in a dignified manner, don't do that... Brother Pedi told his ministers and generals that this war did not need intrigue and subterfuge, and he did what he said... But what about Penny, she actually thought of using assassination to solve this war, she... How can it be!" Phyllis seldom showed anger, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became, "Is family affection so cheap in your eyes?"

"Don't say such things to your brother or sister, they will be even more sad. Saviara furrowed her eyebrows.

"I'm going to ask Penny now. After Phyllis left these words, she waved the magic wand in her hand, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

...

It had been three days since Pedi had received information that the Duchy of Twak might attack the Harrens Heights, and he had not made it public, nor had he discussed it with his generals in a formal setting.

However, this does not mean that Peidi does not pay attention to this matter, Danmen Green specially arrived in Crewe City with a teleportation array yesterday and gave a detailed introduction to the current situation in the Highland grasslands.

Early this morning, Pedy had his servant call Bowenwright from the command to his private office.

"Andy Barrett should not be so unwise, with the current strength of the Principality of Twak, he is simply not capable of supporting a huge war, and he will be cornered if he goes to war with us. Bowenwright came to his own conclusion after seeing the intelligence on Twak Heights.

"I also wish this cousin of mine would be at ease, but the truth is that he has never been at peace, and you must not forget how he got his title. Pedi shook his head, "Harrence Heights can't get into a state of war, and even if there's a 1 in 10,000 chance, I don't want to risk it." ”

"What do you think?" said Bowenwright, who had been a little too cautious lately.

Pedi shook his head again and picked up a document and read it for more than ten minutes, and the office became extremely quiet because of his silence.

"I've been thinking about a question," Pedi put down the papers in his hand and looked at Bowenlet and the other staff officers in the office, "We've always been in a blind spot in the war against the Suk Plains. As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the map on the side of his desk, "It's obviously not a good strategy to continue storming Tyre now. ”

Pedi's finger slowly swiped across the map, and finally stopped in the direction of Kwyn Town, north of the Suker Plains, "If our allies can put pressure on the Suk Plains in Kwyn, this war will be easy. ”

"It's clear from the orcs that they can't help us attack Kwyn, and if Kwyn falls into the hands of the orcs, it will become extremely troublesome. "Bowenright did not understand why the king suddenly mentioned the war with the Sukh plain when he was talking about the highland steppes, but this did not prevent him from expressing his opinion at this time.

"I don't expect the Stone-Silver Axe to help us at this time," Pedi turned to look at Bowenley, "I'm talking about the Duchy of Twak. ”

"Butβ€”" Bowenwright was stunned.

"The Prime Minister has just appointed Sir Ike as Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom, and he will be secretly sent to the Duchy of Twak to discuss the next steps of our cooperation, and will convey my wishes to Duke Andy Barrett. Pedi smiled very specially, "Next, it's up to my dear cousin to decide." ”

After hearing the king's words, Bowenwright's heart shook slightly, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at the king twice, and subconsciously glanced at the documents piled up on the king's desk, and looked at the marks made after reading them.

"Duke Barrett will make the right choice. Bowenwright lowered his head unconsciously.

"I hope so. Pedi shrugged, as if he didn't care about his Andy Barrett's decision.

"However, the fighting in Tyre cannot be stopped, not only must it not stop, but it must become more intense. Pedi nodded on the map of the area of Tyre, "I need you to redraw a battle plan, the purpose of this battle plan is no longer simply to advance to Tyre...", he picked up a document from his desk, "We have invested nearly a million laborers on the front line of Tyre, and we have the help of the Mage Tower... So, your plan is simple, turn the ravines in the southern part of Tyre into a flat avenue, and build a canal that can divert floodwaters from any direction upstream!"

Pei Di put the document in his hand into the stunned Bowen Wright, "I want everyone in the Suke Plain and the Ailan Continent to understand what a kingdom is and what a kingship is!"

Bowen Wright felt the weight of the Chinese piece in his hand, felt the determination of the kingdom, and his heart beat faster suddenly.

Pedy continued, "In addition, we have to put pressure on Suke Plain not only in the town of Kwyn, but also in the Ronice Canyon, and at the same time... The Kingdom Ministry of Finance has given a proposal to support Norma Fort. ”

Bowenley's eyes were locked on the document in his hand and he couldn't take it off, the king's determination was stronger than he expected, he had actually thought about similar plans, but he didn't have time to plan them in detail. In the last few days, the king had hardly asked about the battle of Tyre or received a report from the headquarters, and he even thought that the king had lost interest in the war, but he did not expect to come up with a much larger plan.

"I'll come up with a concrete battle plan as soon as possible, but... What will the Duchy of Twak and Fort Norma officially respond to us?" Bowenright raised his concerns.

"The Duke of Mond-Jean in Normaburg has given a clear response, and will immediately form a new army after receiving our assistance, and once again instigate an attack on the city of Suk, and the Duchy of Twak... I'm sure Sir Ike's presence will leave them speechless. Pedi pointed to a document on his desk, "The Duchy of Twak is now inseparable from our support, and their attack on the Harrens Heights is also intended to plunder the supplies we have stockpiled in the northern territories. ”

"I see. Bowenwright deliberately had a look of abruptness.

Pedi looked at Bowenwright's appearance and suddenly reacted a little, since Bowenwright became the chief of staff, although he has done an impeccable job, he has not had any bright spots, let alone put forward any constructive suggestions.

He is deliberately hiding his edge!

And the reason that forced him to do this was the rebellion of the nobles and the return of the Danny family, the nobles who were hanged in the rebellion and the ruins of the seventh block made him understand the horror of royal power, the return of the Danny family broke the structure of power within the kingdom, and he, as the representative of the Danny family in the kingdom now, is naturally cautious everywhere.

"You go down first, I want to see your plan as soon as possible. Pedi was in no mood to continue the conversation with Bowen Wright.

"Pee-pae-pao" Pedi stood up as Bowenlet turned to leave, picked up his cigar and lit it, and walked silently to the window, looking up at the clear sky to relieve his boredom.

"The loss of your father is the greatest loss of the kingdom. Pedi whispered softly.

Wolf Ma, who was busy sorting out the papers, turned his head to look at the king's side and did not answer, but the movements of his hands unconsciously sped up a lot.

The young staff officers in the office didn't know why the king suddenly turned into a non-combative look, and they didn't dare to ask, but the newly arrived chief of staff, Baron Brooke Mancy, looked at the king's appearance at this moment, and quietly returned to the staff room next to him with the young staff officers.

After a long time, Pedi turned his head to look at the empty office, looking at Wolf Ma who was sorting out the papers, and the feeling of boredom suddenly increased, he walked to the desk with a straight face, flipped through the few unreviewed documents on the table and put them down, and then leaned back in the wide office chair and fell asleep.

The tired body quickly made Pedi's fake sleep mature and sleepy.

I don't know how long it had been, but a slight knock on the door woke Pedi from his slumber and he opened his eyes to see a familiar but slightly unfamiliar figure appear in the office doorway.

"Brother Pedi!" The voice was also familiar, familiar in memory, but with the strangeness of time.

"Phyllis?" said Petdy's tone with unconvinced pleasure and surprise.

"It's me, Brother Pedy. Phyllis approached her brother briskly, and was accustomed to leaning in and hugging him, but stopped when she approached him.

It was the shiny crown on her brother's head that made her stop, and looking at the crown, Phyllis knew that her brother was no longer the brother he used to be, and that he had grown up...

"You've grown taller!" Pedi stood up from his seat, looking at his sister, who was already shoulder-level with him, and looked seriously at his sister, whom he hadn't seen in years.

The cute baby fat on her face was gone, the playful freckles were gone, her long brown hair was braided into long braids on her chest, and her tight mage battle shirt framed her tiny waist, revealing her snow-white arms and calves.

However, when Phyllis saw her brother's familiar doting gaze at her, and listened to his familiar voice, the reserve and scruples suddenly disappeared again, and she suddenly opened her arms and rushed forward, hugged her brother and rubbed her face against each chest.

Pei Di gently patted his sister's shoulder, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub the other party's head, but he suddenly found that his sister's height was no longer suitable for this action.

"Haha" Pei Di suddenly felt some itching in his waist, but it was his sister who took the opportunity to tickle him as before, and his happy laughter echoed in the office, making the wolf Ma standing at the door of the office look sideways and show envy at the same time.

"Alright, haha... If you don't stop... I'm going to fight back. Although Pedi said this, he didn't really fight back.
