Chapter 1092: Condescending
Thank you for the two monthly passes!
Surrounded by her subjects, Alina climbed the highest step in front of the king's palace, and the noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and the people looked at Alina, who looked like a goddess, and waited. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Suddenly, all the subjects and the Bosphorufu **** shouted together: "Queen! Queen! Queen! ”
Everyone was thrilled.
Alina couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Kalensa on the side, Kalensa smiled and nodded, Alina couldn't help but blush, and then a complicated look flashed in her beautiful eyes.
After recapturing the Caucasian defense line and the Bosphoru kingdom abandoned by the Jin, the Roman army immediately led the army to the north fifty miles north to build a starting position for the attack.
The front of the Karen Sa's army is not a smooth road, the left side is nearly a thousand miles of mud swamps, impassable at all, the right side is a mountain connected with the Caucasus Mountains, lofty mountains, there is no road at all, between these two dangerous places is the only way to pass, and a fortress of the Jin people will be tightly choked here, the fortress of Tarn, a strong military fortress built here when the Jin people rose, the purpose at that time was to prevent the invasion of the Roman army, I don't think it really came in handy today.
The four regular legions of the Jin people plus three servant legions, a total of 350,000 troops, were stationed here, and the Romans were unlikely to be able to defeat this dangerous place.
The Great Commander of Rome.
A subordinate general rushed into the tent to investigate: "General, Queen Alina has returned all the roses you gave her!" ”
At this time, Karen Sa was looking at the military map in front of him and thinking.
Karen Sa raised her head and asked with a tight face, "What did Her Royal Highness say?" ”
The general shook his head and said, "The person who came just said that Her Royal Highness doesn't like roses!" ”
Karen Sa's eyes lit up, "So, I'm not careful enough!" Well, I don't like roses, so what kind of flowers does Her Royal Highness like? ”
Karen Sa's face was distressed, and then her eyes lit up, and she said, "Go to the jeweler and order me the best set of jewelry!" Tell them that this is for Her Royal Highness Queen Alina, and they must keep improving! ”
The general hesitated, agreed, and withdrew from the big tent.
Soon after, a set of exquisite jewelry was sent to the royal palace of the Bosphoru.
"It's so beautiful!" Alina's personal maid Paris looked at the jewelry in front of her and exclaimed, but Alina on the side frowned.
Paris looked at the jewelry in front of her and couldn't help but show a look of fascination.
The jewels come in a three-piece set, with a delicate crown set with crystals and diamonds, a necklace resembling a waterfall, and a pair of bracelets crafted from white gold and fine diamonds, each of which is a masterpiece of the last generation.
"Send these back!" Alina said indifferently.
Paris was taken aback, "Queen, are you really going to go back with all this?" ”
Alina frowned, glanced at Paris, and said angrily, "If you are told to go back, you will go back!" ”
Paris hurriedly agreed, rewrapped the set of exquisite jewelry in front of her, and withdrew.
Paris walked to the side of the dressing mirror, looked at the charming figure in the mirror and sighed involuntarily, her fingers gently slid over her cheeks, and a man's face seemed to appear in the mirror.
Paris came back to her senses in shock, shook her head in distress, and muttered, "Why do you miss him again!" We can't do it! It's impossible! ”
A palace maid walked into the dormitory and reported: "Queen, the consul asks to see you!" ”
The consul is equivalent to the prime minister of China, in charge of the government affairs of a country, and the consul in the mouth of this palace maid is the former consul of the Bosphoru Kingdom, almost sixty years old, and he escaped the catastrophe of destroying the country that year.
The old consul's name was Jones, and he was born into a noble family with the traditions of the Bosphoru.
Alina frowned and said, "Got it, you go down first!" ”
The palace maid retreated as promised.
Alina thought for a moment, straightened her dress and walked out of the dormitory.
Alina came to the back garden of the palace, where the old Archon Jones was waiting.
"Her Majesty!" Jones saluted.
Alina smiled, "The Archon doesn't have to be polite! ”
Alina walked slowly along the path between the flower beds, Archon Jones following closely behind.
"Your Majesty, the minister learned that the Roman general Karen Sa has been sending gifts to Her Majesty in recent days?" Jones asked.
Alina frowned, nodded, and said indifferently: "There is such a thing!" What do you want to say? ”
Jones said: "Your Majesty, if you marry an important general of Rome, the stability of the kingdom is guaranteed!" ”
Alina spit out her footsteps, turned around, and said with some annoyance: "Could it be that the safety of our Bosphoru Kingdom depends only on other countries?" ”
Jones said without flinching: "Queen, you should know very well that without the Roman army, we would not be able to restore the country at all!" ”
"Not bad! But there's something you might be getting wrong! Rome didn't send troops because of my relationship with a certain Roman general! But because of my friendship with His Majesty the Emperor Caracalla and the needs of the Roman Empire itself, our Bosphoru Kingdom is a vassal state of Rome, and if Rome cannot help us to restore it, it will have a very negative effect in the hearts of other vassals! Therefore, the argument that marriage ensures the safety of the country is simply untenable! ”
Jones said unrelentingly: "What the queen said is not unreasonable, but there is nothing wrong with strengthening the relationship between the two parties through marriage!" There was a bit of condescension in his tone, and it seemed that the old consul regarded himself as a senior and the queen as a junior, and the old consul seemed to have a somewhat self-righteous taste.
Alina frowned and said, "I still have to think about this matter!" ”
"Queen, why do you hesitate to do such a thing that is beneficial to the country and the people?"
Alina said in annoyance, "This is also my private matter! Don't interfere too much, Archon! ”
Jones was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, and said, "Since the queen said so, the old minister will not say more!" However, the old minister has a piece of advice, I hope the queen will put the country and the people first! He bowed and retreated.
Alina snorted as she looked at Jones's back and muttered, "I just discovered today that loyal ministers are sometimes more hateful than traitors!" ”
When Karen Sa received the jewelry returned by Paris, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why didn't the queen accept my gift?" ”
Paris shook her head, "I don't know either! ”
Karen Sa frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "I wonder if the queen has already intended someone?" ”
Paris thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up.
"Did you think of something?" Karen Sa asked eagerly.
Paris nodded and shook her head, uncertain, "I don't know if it's or not!" ”
"Say it! What do you know? ”
Paris recalled: "When the queen and I were in the Great Wei Empire, we met His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Wei! It seems, it seems, ・・・・・・"
Karen Sa's face changed, "You mean, the Queen's crush is the emperor of the Eastern Empire!?" Does she like an old man?! (To be continued.) )
