"Meet Your Majesty. "Sandia's attitude is very sincere, without any arrogance.

Of course, Michelle didn't let Sandia bow down, but immediately supported Sandya: "Master Sandia is polite, how dare this king accept your great gift." ”

After some politeness, Sandia took the initiative to get to the point: "May I ask Your Majesty to come this time, but what can I do here?"

"Recently, there has been turmoil within the empire, and the people are panicking, so this king feels that he should take the initiative to make friends with various countries in the near future, avoid disputes, and strive to restore people's livelihood as soon as possible. ”

"Her Majesty is wise. ”

This was originally the main tone of this year's court, but Sandia didn't understand why Michelle mentioned it again in front of her, is there any deep meaning in this?

"My sister and I studied the territory of our country, and found that there are many territories, and there are disputes with various countries, and there are many disputes due to this, such as the North Gaman Mountains bordering the Ansa Kingdom in the south, and there has always been a dispute between the Eastern Empire and the Ansa Kingdom with a blurred dividing line, so my sister and I considered temporarily abandoning the territory near the North Gaman Mountains, and the border defenders also temporarily retreated eight hundred miles to avoid causing unnecessary trouble at this special time. ”

Sandia was stunned, obviously very puzzled by Michelle's words.

"Your Majesty, although there is a big dispute between the North Gaman Mountains and the Ansa Kingdom, but the Ansa Kingdom is far from its own national strength, although it has protested many times, it has never had the intention of raising troops to fight for it, so there should be no need to think more about this, right?"

"Now the empire is in an eventful season, the attitude of the northern empire **, and the southern principalities have repeatedly gathered troops for military exercises, the intention is unclear, if at this time, the Ansar Kingdom has bad intentions, but it will give people an opportunity to take advantage of, and when the northern and southern fronts are opened, there will be no benefit to the Eastern Empire. ”

Sandia was even more puzzled, he also had an understanding of the current state of affairs, and now the Eastern Empire seemed to be eventful, but in fact it was very safe, even more secure than ever.

Three ** gods, it can be said that today's Eastern Empire has reached the strongest moment in history.

The six principalities in the south are certainly powerful, but they are also united, and the principality of Zoro among them also has a ** god, but it is only this one.

The original Eastern Empire was not afraid, let alone the current Eastern Empire.

The existence of the three ** gods, the surrounding borders of the Eastern Empire, it can be said that no country can threaten the Eastern Empire.

As for the Ansar Kingdom, I am afraid that the strength of a county can defeat the Ansar Kingdom.

In Sandia's view, Michelle's worries are unfounded.

It's just that Michelle doesn't seem to give up, and still says firmly: "Don't underestimate the Ansa Kingdom, the magic legion of the Ansa Kingdom is still not to be underestimated." ”

Sandia smiled bitterly, if the magic army is really used, it will be equivalent to a full-scale war, but with the national strength of the Ansa Kingdom, how can it take the initiative to start a war against the huge Eastern Empire?

"Your Majesty, even if you want to let it, it won't be the turn of the Ansa Kingdom, right?"

"I've made up my mind, so I think that's it. Michelle said without concession: "This matter will be discussed in the name of Master Sandia in the court tomorrow." ”

Of course, Michel can't say that the current North Garman Mountains no longer belong entirely to the Ansar Kingdom, but to a monster, a monster that even the Eastern Empire may not provoke.

Sandia finally understood that Michelle was not here to discuss with her, but to assign tasks to herself as a coolie.

Shrinking the strength of the border defense force is a very cowardly act, and it is detrimental to the national prestige of the Eastern Empire.

As queens, they naturally can't give orders in person, and they need to let themselves carry this black cauldron.

Of course, if it's just a little thing, Sandia doesn't mind.

The North Gaman Mountains are just a wasteland, and there's really nothing to remember.

But he really couldn't understand why Michelle made such a decision.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me why? Sandia looked at Michelle quizzically.

Michelle's face showed a little hesitation, and after a long time, she raised her head and looked at Sandia: "You don't need to know the reason for this, you just need to know that from now on, the North Garman Mountains do not belong to our Eastern Empire, and no matter what happens in the North Garman Mountains, it has nothing to do with us." ”

At this moment, a maid came in from outside the door, and this maid was Michelle's personal maid.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Ice Empire has asked to see you. ”

"An envoy of the Ice Empire?" Michelle's face sank slightly: "It's really ghostly." ”

Sandia couldn't help but prick up her ears, he also knew something about Michelle and Lorraine's experience in the Ice Empire, so during this time, the relationship between the Eastern Empire and the Ice Empire has always been very **, and the two countries have always been diplomatic alliances.

But in recent times, the relationship between the two has been close.

Now the envoy of the Ice Empire actually came to him to ask to see Michelle, if there was no important matter, he would definitely not be so anxious.

Most of the time, Michelle avoided it many times, so after the envoy heard about Michelle's itinerary, he went directly here.

At this point, it's not so easy for Michelle to avoid it.

"Let him in. Michelle said with a calm face and a little dissatisfaction.

In fact, the envoy of the Ice Empire had been asking to see their sisters a few days ago, but the two of them had been saying that they were ill.

Michelle and Luo Lin'er have always been very dissatisfied with their own aunt who did not save her from death and fell into the well, and now naturally she and the Ice Empire will not have any good looks.

"Meet Her Majesty the Empress, meet Master Sandia. The Ice Empire's envoy, Holkin, saluted the two respectfully.

"What do you have to report? If there is nothing to do, then retire early, this king has been unwell lately, and wants to go back to the palace to rest. ”

"Your Majesty, please save your brother. ”

"What do you mean by that, where did this king come from?"

"It's the son of my emperor, His Royal Highness Bridges, the only prince of the Ice Empire. ”

Michelle's face moved slightly, Bridges?

Although she is dissatisfied with her aunt, Michelle still thinks about some affection, and this is what she has been struggling with.

Especially for Bridges, Michelle and Lorraine have always treated Bridges as if she were their own brother.

Now that she heard that Bridges had an accident, Michelle still showed a trace of worry.

"What's wrong with Bridges?"

"He was out on an adventure, but he was captured by the local lord. ”

"You came to me today because the place where his accident happened was in the territory of my Eastern Empire?"

"Your Majesty the Empress, although it is not in the territory of your country, it is not much different, and the Ice Empire is far away, separated by several countries, so it is difficult to help, so I ask Her Majesty the Empress to lend a hand, His Royal Highness Bridges is young. ”

"In other countries?" said Michelle, who hesitated.

It's true that she has a family relationship with Bridges, but she definitely can't rise to the level of the country, and if it's something else that happens in other countries, then she will consider whether it's worth the shot.

"Actually, this is not a troublesome matter, even in the territory of the Ansar Kingdom, the villain originally went to the Ansar Kingdom to meet their princess, the generalissimo and the prime minister, but they all made a prevarication attitude, saying that it was the matter of the local lord, and it had nothing to do with them, and the villain had no choice but to come to your country to ask for help from Her Majesty the Empress. ”

Sandia couldn't help but look at the envoy curiously: "The Ansa Kingdom is so bold, their lord has captured the prince of your Ice Empire, and they dare to ignore it. ”

"Which lord is it?If possible, this king will help only the Ansa Kingdom. ”

"It's the lord of the North Gaman Mountains. ”

Michelle's body swayed: "What did you say?"

"Her Majesty, the lord of the North Gaman Mountains of the Ansar Kingdom, is said to be a minor lord of the newly canonized nobility. The envoy apparently didn't see the horror on Michelle's face.

"Why did Bridges go to the North Garman Mountains, and why was he captured by that lord?"

"This ......" The envoy's face showed a little hesitation, and he said half-flawedly: "Your Highness has been keen on adventure recently, so he joined an adventure team and was ......caught while adventuring in the wasteland under the North Gaman Mountains."

A cold light flashed in Michelle's eyes: "You dare to lie to this king, do you still want Bridges's life?"

"It's true...... This is true, His Highness's adventure team heard that the lord was doing mischief in the territory, so they took on the task of a rich merchant to attack and kill the lord, but they didn't know why, and they were arrested......"

Michelle almost didn't sit on the floor, oh my God...... Bridges, this idiot, won't he give up if he doesn't drag down the Ice Empire?

This kid is really killing himself!

"Please go back, this king can't help. Michelle said with a calm face.

"Your Majesty, you ...... You ......" The envoy couldn't figure out why the promise he had made a moment ago had suddenly changed his mind.

"Although Bridges is the prince of the Ice Empire, he went to other countries and assassinated the lords of other countries, which is deserved, and this king will not intervene in this kind of thing. ”

"But...... That's just a little lord......"

"I don't care if he's a big lord or a small lord, in short, as long as it's about that lord, or something about the North Gaman Mountains, it has nothing to do with this king, and it has nothing to do with the Eastern Empire, this king is tired, step down. ”

"Your Majesty, how can this be...... How can this be ......?"

Sandia also left with Michelle, he didn't want to stay here and be pestered by the envoy.

"Your Majesty, is it related to that lord that you asked our Eastern Empire's border army to withdraw from the North Gaman Mountains?"

"It's good that Master Sandia still doesn't know about this matter, and at the same time, this king also gives the master a piece of advice, definitely don't provoke the lord of the North Gaman Mountains, as long as he is there, everything will happen to my Eastern Empire. ”

"What...... What?" Sandia was stunned, pausing to look at Michelle's back, almost thinking that he had misheard.

Michelle turned his head and looked at Sandia with a smile: "In exchange for a piece of wasteland, in exchange for a powerful ally, does Master Sandia feel that this account is a loss?" )
