For the Council of Light, their current situation is dire.

As Rhodes expected, with the new year approaching, without Moon's financial support, the Council of Light's budget for next year is already stretched. And what makes them even more anxious is not only the shortage of finances, but also the influx of refugees that have been followed by the war on the front line. The budget of the military department will definitely be increased, but the people who have been displaced by the disaster also need to be pacified, not to mention the pensions of those who have fallen in battle, which is a lot of money. Combined with the funds from several other economically disadvantaged areas that were already going to provide relief and support, the Council of Light's financial deficit has never been greater. Originally, they also hoped to get some financial support from Lillian, or coax her into coming up with money to fill the hole. But after the previous big quarrel, Lillian never gave them a good look again, children are not so easy to coax, although the Council of Light has tried to find them a few times, but Lillian refused.

In desperation, they had no choice but to reach out to their last straw——— five major consortia and beg for their help. However, as Rhodes expected, in the face of the Council of Light's request for help, the five major consortia tacitly remained silent, and for the lobbyists sent by the Council of Light, they were either vague, or they said that the consortium's funds were tight recently, or they simply closed the door to thank customers, went out to travel, and could not find anyone for a while, so that the messengers of the Council of Light had a closed door.

Of course, the Council of Light knew what the five major consortia were thinking, which made them grit their teeth but helpless. Of course, they understand that the big five consortia will put all kinds of conditions on them, but what can they do? Although the Council of Light did not want the five major consortia to blatantly meddle in the council, it seemed that they had no other way out of it. This financial hole is too big and there are too many deficits. Without the strength of Moon or the five major consortia, it would be impossible to fill this astronomical deficit.

However, there is still a lot left in the budget of the military department. The Council of Light had planned to tear off its old face and negotiate with the military department, and take some more money out of it, or let them be responsible for the pensions of the soldiers and generals who died in battle, so as to save money in another way.

But I didn't expect the attitude of the military department to be very tough——— asking for money! Don't give it to you! And because they are resisting the attack of the undead legion, they can't miss a cent of next year's budget! If the Council dares to withhold their portions, then let the Council of Light go to the front to fight the bones themselves!

Attitude towards the military department. The Council of Light can only knock out its teeth and swallow it in its stomach, which is no wonder, the military department is responsible for the battle against the undead legions on the front line, so it is naturally impossible to reduce financial expenditures, and maybe it will continue to increase. Fortunately, the territory bordering the Land of Light and the Land of Night is not large, and there are the Land of Law and Moon sandwiched by it. The Night Nation did not dare to attack the Law Nation, but Moon's side still held off the undead legion's attack no matter what. Because of this, the current losses of the Nation of Light are within an acceptable range. If it weren't for the Principality of Moon acting as the front line barrier of the Land of Light, I am afraid that two-thirds of the land of the Land of Light would have fallen by now. Just waiting to raise your hands and surrender.

"The problem with the Council of Light is very, very serious right now."

Andrei sat in his chair and looked solemnly at the old man in front of him, an old man with a white beard and even a little bald, he looked about sixty years old, but the deep wrinkles on his forehead and the painful color in his eyes made him feel that he was at least seventy or eighty years old. He is none other than André's current strongest supporter in the Council of Light, Councillor Calest.

"We all know the problem of fiscal deficit, and this is actually not difficult to solve. Because the five major consortia will eventually make a move. It was inevitable that the Council of Light would lose its dominance this time. But ........." said this, and the old man's face was not bitter. It's an expression of helplessness and disappointment. "The biggest problem is not this, the current Council of Light is still unwilling to face its enemies head-on, I know that some people in the Council regard the intervention of the five major consortia as a very favorable situation for them, and they even want to get the five consortia to unite against the Dragon Soul of Light!"

Saying this, the old man snorted coldly.

"It's ridiculous. The undead army is watching from the outside, but they are still only thinking about how to consolidate and reclaim their power? It is precisely because of them that the people are now also focusing on whether Moon has a private deal with the Night Nation, but what is the point of this? Regardless of whether or not there is any agreement between the Duchy of Moon and the Night Nation, we are under attack by the Night Nation. And the fact that there has been a rout cannot be changed! ”

Saying this, the old man became more and more angry, and even his beard trembled because of this.

"It's ridiculous that the inhabitants of Casablanca are not at all afraid of the imminent arrival of the undead army, but rather more concerned about whether they are victims of the deal between the Duchy of Moon and the Land of Night. This is ridiculous! The Council of Light is simply destroying itself! What if it was proven that Moon really had a relationship with the Night Nation? If it weren't for Moon in front of us to stop the Night Nation's main attack, we wouldn't even be able to hold our current defenses. Do they think they can send troops to attack Moon as long as they catch evidence of a connection between Moon and the Night Nation?! ”

"Why is the Council of Light so short-sighted?"

Hearing Councillor Calest's complaint, Andre couldn't help frowning and asked curiously. He had also met some members of Parliament, some of whom were not very smart, but some of whom were very cunning. It is impossible for them not to see the impending crisis in front of them, so why would they make such a judgment?

"I don't quite understand either."

Hearing Andre's inquiry, Calest spread his hands helplessly.

"In fact, many people in the council also understand this truth, and in their opinion, for the Duchy of Moon, it is enough to pay lip service to it. After all, the problem is our Nation of Light, and as a council, we have to come up with our own ideas. But Congressman Nackvande seems to have a different opinion on this. I think you're also well aware that Andrew, as a staunch human supremacist, has never trusted any other race. He claims in the Council that the Night Nation's attack on the Land of Light is actually a deal between Moon and the Night Nation, with the aim of shaking the Council's rule and eventually restoring the Dragon Spirit of Light......... I have to say. There are many people who think that what he said makes sense, because in the previous Dragon Soul Holy Scripture, I think you have seen it............ Her Royal Highness's performance, and the man......... Councillor Nackvande thinks that all of this was orchestrated by Moon, and that the man, Rod, is a pawn sent by Lydia..............."

Saying this, Calrest shook his head helplessly and did not say any more. But there is no need for the old councillor to say more, and Andre also understands what he means. Indeed, this time the Dragon Soul Sacred Scripture was different from the previous ones. It wasn't the first time he had participated in the Dragon Soul Sacred Scripture, but ......... This is the first time this has happened. The Council of Light is disgraced by one person, and may even lose its position...............

Thinking of this, Andre's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and the black figure appeared in his mind again.

That fear was still there, but it was much more indifferent, but Andrei knew it. Himself has not overcome him.

"And that's not all."

At this, Councillor Calester lowered his voice. The old man even looked left and right for a moment, and then looked at Andre and spoke.

"I know they have a plan, and this plan is ......... It's still about that man..............."

"That's what they were going to do?"

Rod's face in the crystal ball was still smiling with mockery and disdain, and looking at the figure in the crystal ball in front of her, Sonia felt excited and excited. The girl licked her lips slightly, then nodded and replied softly.

"Yes, master, there is currently an intention in the council. I think it won't be long before they want to do it. ”

When Sonia leaves the Land of Atonement, the only "parting gift" she receives is this crystal ball. Through it, Sonia can communicate with Rhodes, follow his orders, and report to him what she deems important. But this was not Rode's request, but Sonya's initiative to ask for it. Because she "could not bear a day when she could not hear the voice of her master and could not live under her master's orders". And for Sonya's request, Rod didn't care. Anyway, it's her own business, and for Rhodes now, it's not difficult to make a crystal ball for communication.

"It's just a bunch of idiots, and I don't mind accompanying them if they want to make a fool of themselves."

Rod pursed his lips, not taking what she said to heart in the slightest because of Sonya's report. Seeing that Rhodes was so attentive to his report, instead of feeling angry and belittled, Sonia felt a sense of relief, comfort, and pleasure welling up in the girl's heart. Sure enough, this is her master, and for the master, the group of idiots in the council is nothing to fear!

"Forget about this kind of boring thing, did you do what I said today?"

"Of course, master."

Hearing Rod's words, a vivid flush suddenly appeared on Sonya's face, and she reached out and placed it between her legs, her blue eyes sparkling with overexcitement.

"I did so in the council as you ordered......... When they hold a meeting........."

Saying this, Sonia felt her body tremble with excitement again, and the tingling pleasure between her legs resurfaced in her mind. She remembered her previous scene again——— at the regular meeting of the Council of Light, she sat quietly in the back row of her second councillor. Everyone in front of them is arguing about the next actions of the Council of Light and the future of the Kingdom of Light. However, Sonia did not care and listen to all this, on the contrary, the girl quietly stretched out her right hand, and under the cover of the robe and the seat, she stroked her legs vigorously. The feeling of acting in accordance with Rhodes's orders in front of the public is full of excitement and the joy of betraying morality. Especially when I thought that I was in the most serious and serious meeting in the country of light, but I was doing such a shameless, promiscuous and perverted thing, it made the girl's whole body melt so comfortably, and even almost made her faint like this. Whether Sonia admits it or not. But that thrilling sensation has been firmly engraved in the depths of the soul. At this moment, Sonya, I'm afraid that even if Rhodes asked her to run naked in Freedom Square, she would not hesitate to carry it out.

"So, let me see."

"Yes! Master!! ”

Sonya's response was even trembling with excitement, and then the girl sat down in her chair without any shame. Lifting her skirt and spreading her thighs——— she wasn't wearing anything inside!?

"What do you do in Parliament? Now, show me again. ”

"Yes............ ............... hosts"

Sonya's breathing began to grow rapid, and she stretched out her fingers, skillfully caressing the forbidden area between her legs, and even exposing it to Rod's gaze completely. Even through the crystal ball, sensing Rod's gaze mixed with contempt, disdain, and mockery, Sonia could still feel as if she had been electrocuted. The intoxicating feeling came back to her. And this feeling, she couldn't find it at all by Andre's side.........

"Lord............ Master............!! ”

Soon, under Rod's gaze, Sonya's movements began to become more and more intense, her left hand rubbed her chest hard, and her right hand reached deep between her legs, desperately burrowing into it, completely ignoring the girl's reason. It's just instinctively digging into that carnal desire.

(fingers......... I can't stop my fingers............ No more............ No way............!! ）

"Knock knock."

And at this time, suddenly. There was a heavy knock on the door. The sudden knock on the door startled Sonya, and she subconsciously stopped moving. It was only at this time that Sonia discovered that the other end of the crystal ball had lost the trace of Rod. This suddenly made the girl feel a little dazed, and there was even a bit of anger and annoyance in her heart, and the body that was about to reach the climax was interrupted at this moment, and she felt extremely angry at the moment. The girl simply straightened her clothes. Only then did he turn around and walk to the door, lowered his voice, and asked impatiently.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Sonia."

"Andrey?"

Hearing this voice, Sonia was even stunned for a moment. This was the connection between the voice, which had seemed a little unfamiliar to her, and the name in her head. The girl frowned, but soon her expression returned to calm, and Sonia opened the door, and soon saw Andrei's face. Seeing Sonya, Andre seemed a little uneasy.

"What's wrong with you? Sonia? You don't seem to be feeling very good? ”

"No............ I was just............ I was resting just now. ”

As she spoke, Sonia smiled at Andre, and she reached out and straightened her hair. This lazy movement made Andre's eyes straighten, and he stared at Sonia intently, and did not speak for a long time. Sensing Andrei's gaze, Sonya's heart did not feel as happy as before, on the contrary, there was a little more faint impatience. She frowned slightly and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"Ah, yes."

Hearing Sonya's inquiry, Andre turned his head a little shyly to look away, he touched his nose slightly embarrassed, and then spoke.

"That's right, Sonia, that ......... If I may, can I treat you to dinner tonight? I owe you more than just a thank you, that ..............."

"I ..............."

Hearing Andre's words, Sonya's face stiffened slightly. If it had been the same as before, she would have been very happy to hear that André wanted to invite her to dinner. But now, after hearing Andre's request, Sonya's first reaction was to think of whether she should seek Rod's consent, and because of this, in the face of Andre's invitation, Sonia instinctively wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but at this time, Rod's sweet voice like a devil appeared in her ears again.

"This is a chance, Miss Sonia, that you can get away from it all and go back to the past............... I've always believed that true love should be able to accept everything about each other. If that man really loves you so much, then no matter how lascivious and perverted you are, shouldn't it be a part of his affection for him? Miss Sonia, this is your worst test and choice..............."

Will I really be able to go back in time?

Thinking of this, Sonia was suddenly stunned. She stood there in a daze, but the thoughts in her head kept spinning.

Can I really get away with it all?

Abandon everything you have now and go back to the old days?

As I had expected before, to receive Andrei's love and to be with him forever?

Is this really what I expected?

And most importantly, do I want to get away from it all?

"If you're tired, then it's better for another day."

Seeing Sonya's expression, Andre was a little disappointed, but he still smiled at Sonya, and then turned to leave. And at this time, Sonia finally made up her mind.

"Wait, Andrey."

"Sonia?"

Hearing Sonya's voice, Andre turned his head in surprise, and then he saw Sonia smiling at him.

"I'm willing to accept your invitation, Andrey." (To be continued......)
