Soon after their marriage, the young couple spent their honeymoon in Aachen, and the northern border of the empire was about to explode.

The Helsinger Empire has officially declared war on the HRE Empire, demanding that the Saxonys hand over His Majesty Sidlifa's fiancé and cede the two border domains of Schleswig and Holstein as compensation to Her Majesty.

It is generally accepted in the international community that the territorial claims in the latter are the real reasons for war, and the so-called "revenge for the husband" in the front is nothing more than a pretext for aggression concocted because of the fear that the claims will not be sufficient.

After all, for the sake of one man, the two empires actually went to war in an all-out way, which is too magical. For example, the famous Trojan War in history was not to recapture Helen, but to plunder and end this rich city-state of Asia Minor.

The Norman army of the empire has not yet gone south, but there are already many thieves in the Norman region, I don't know whether they miscalculated the day of the invasion in the south, or they can't wait to be the pioneer of the king, and have fled to the territory of the Duchy of Saxony and Lorraine.

So much so that the border lord's distress call almost blew up the Imperial Knights...... There is no way, since Eleanor transformed the Blade Warriors into the Imperial Knights, she has taken on the responsibility of quelling the rebellion within the empire, so that now when it is attacked by any foreign forces, the first thing that nobles everywhere think of is not to borrow troops from feudal lords or neighbors, but to turn to the Imperial Knights for help.

Sir Joel of the Knights, who barely carried the wave of distress from the border nobles for a few weeks, couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only take a few days to find it and report the problem to His Highness in a roundabout way.

Eleanor listened to the deep groan, and then looked at her husband.

"You can go with confidence." Asker said with a smile.

No, I'm not at ease when you say that...... Eleanor immediately had some instinctive doubts.

After all, her husband did have a history of running away suddenly in this regard: before returning to that world, he seemed to use similar words to coax Medea, who was already pregnant, around.

So much so that a second before the final battle began, Medea didn't expect him to be so decisive.

But that time it was because he wanted to go back to see his mother, and besides, Medea and him didn't confirm their relationship, so he really wanted to leave and couldn't be regarded as running away.

I'm the wife of Asker's marriage!

Thinking like this, Eleanor hesitated for a few minutes, and finally made up her mind.

"Let's get ready to go."

"Yes!" Sir Joel immediately rose for joy and hurried away.

"Will you be unhappy?" Eleanor asked, turning her head away.

"How so?" Asker hugged her gently.

The two of them warmed up for a moment before Eleanor left his embrace and said with a smile:

"You won't wait for me to come back and you'll be abducted by Nora or someone else, right?"

For some reason, Asker suddenly felt a chill on his back, so he could only ask her with a smile:

"Hey, am I a kid who would be kidnapped casually?"

"That's hard to say." Eleanor feigned anger, "After all, you promised her to wait for you for ten years!" If she were to visit Aachen, would you hide in the palace? ”

"You do have a point, I should indeed go and see it." Asker pretended to think, and Eleanor slapped him again in anger.

"Okay, I'll tell you." She said solemnly, "You can go and see her, but you have to come back to me when you're done, understand?" Don't be stupid and go with her. ”

"Don't worry." Aske confidently agreed.

He agreed so readily that it made Eleanor even more uneasy. It's just that Knight Ji didn't know the so-called Flag after all, so he didn't have been suspicious for too long, and there was no basis for suspicion after all.

So she kissed her husband on the lips, and then smiled:

"Then I'll go, wait for me to come back~"

——————————————

The Papal Palace in the Lateran district.

The Bishop of Adelaide stood helplessly beside her, and the current Lady Nora was curled up on the central sofa like a cat, eating potato chips and smiling at the screen.

What was playing on the screen was the image of Eleanor snatching the flower crown and putting it on her head in Aachen Cathedral, and then throwing herself into Aske's arms and kissing her.

If Eleanor had seen this image, she would have exclaimed, "There is an inner ghost among us", because the image was clearly taken from the angle of the guest seat.

Nola, however, just watched and ate, and watched as she ate, as if she had turned all her anger into appetite.

"Your Excellency......, Holy Maiden," Adelaide sighed.

"Degassing? Why do you want to be angry, I'm not angry. Nora said with a gentle, cheerful, but somehow frightening smile.

And say that you are not angry, and your bulging cheeks are about to chew the potato chips into powder......

Adelaide put his hand on his forehead and said:

"Eleanor should have left the Aachen Expedition now, so what are you going to do?"

"I've said I'm not angry." Nora said with a smile.

No, that's not what I just asked...... Adelaide was completely speechless.

"Look." Nora finished eating the potato chips, licked her slender fingers, and then pointed to the screen and said, "As a wedding, the priest did not preside over the ceremony, the two sides did not exchange vows, and even the laurels were worn by herself, how can such a wedding ceremony take effect?" ”

"And even if it was a formal marriage registration, Asker and I registered it first in Solomon. How can she count? At best, it's just a bit of self-gratification. Invalid bigamy is not recognized by either God or law. ”

No, your marriage registration that is said to have been made by your sister without Asker's fingerprints and thus made without the knowledge of the parties is really illegal, right? And it is said that it has since been annulled by His Holiness the Pope through an administrative appeal...... Adelaide thought to herself.

"Anyway, Ellie is the kind of character who likes to get into what she thinks is right." Nora crumpled the bag of potato chips and threw it into the trash can next to her, "No way, let her occupy the head of the group for so long, it's time for me to go and get him back." ”

"Then what you said about the expulsion order......

"Just to scare her, of course." Nora gave Adelaide a strange look, "She's my best friend, how could I possibly kill her?" ”

No, this thing can also be used to scare people? Don't you know that the cardinals have been arguing lately about whether or not to sanction the HRE Empire?

Adelaide felt that he could not keep up with the saint's train of thought, so he silently took out the test strip from his white coat and wiped the cold sweat from his face.

"In short, let all the bishops of the Imperial diocese stop cooperating with the Saxony family." Nora said lightly, "In addition, the armament materials and technical maintenance that were originally promised to be provided to the empire have also been suspended. ”

“…… Good. Adelaide felt his head swell. In the front, she said that she was the best friend, and then she withdrew all the personnel, materials and technical support, but she still chose this point in time when she was at war with the north, is this what people can say?

However, after all, this is an "angel walking on the earth", and his status in the Holy See is even better than that of the Pope's "spokesman of God", so Adelaide didn't say much, so he could only nod his head.

"That's right." Nora suddenly asked, "What are the three people who gave us the news?" ”

"According to the analysis of the available information, there is a high probability that the other party is from the same world as Asker." Raphael's electronic female voice rang out in the room, "The other party expressed a certain willingness to cooperate in the letter. Based on the chaotic calculus of all sporadic clues, it is speculated that it is likely that there is a request from the Holy See, and it is recommended to take further contact and gather more information to complete it. ”

"Do you have a request for us?" Nora thought for a moment, then raised the corners of her mouth happily, "Maybe you can use it too." ”
