Chapter 942: The Lonely Palace

Life in the East Kingdom is calm and comfortable, and Xia Feng's sword outside the walls of Lentinium seems to cut off his past and start another life.

However, there are some things that are still disconnected, even if they seem to be cut in two.

This is not only about the feelings or bonds between people, but also the traces of what has existed and the chain reactions that have been caused.

As Lapland said, sometimes, killing doesn't require a grandiose, justifiable reason, and sometimes, existence itself is a threat.

Even if you want to silence the relics, the traces of what once existed cannot be erased together.

.....

1094 Terra calendar, Victorian Empire.

Half a year has passed since the end of the Dark Ages, and the time of the whole country has entered early autumn.

The happiness in front of us is always easy to forget, as ordinary people, people always care most about the present, under the leadership of the new King Vena, the whole country can be described as peaceful.

Once upon a time, there were two deep-seated inequalities in the land of Victoria.

First, the contradiction between ordinary people and infected people.

Second, the status hierarchy of nobles and commoners was suppressed.

And now, these two "lesions" that have existed for hundreds of years have been completely removed, and the whole country is equal for all.

There are no more privileged aristocrats, whether infected or ordinary people, who can fight for the life they want with diligence and hard work.

....

Luntinium, the royal palace.

In the most standard royal conference room in the empire, Vina wore a golden crown and a long golden dress, and was reading a document in her hand.

On either side of Vena, the Imperial Treasury Chief, the newly appointed Imperial Inspector General, and a number of high-ranking officials solemnly accompanied.

After a long time, Vena looked away from the document and said with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Nancy, isn't it too much of a loss for the Chamber of Commerce in this way, or let's change it back."

Nancy, who was sitting across from her, smiled and shook her head.

"Your Majesty......"

"Hey, don't call me Your Majesty, it's not in public."

Nancy smiled with relief, in fact, in terms of relationship, she and Vina were far closer than ordinary people know.

Her brother Nanfeng is now the Imperial Military Chief, and Nanfeng is Vina's half-brother, which means that she and Vena are the same brother.

Of course, Nancy and Nanfeng are not related by blood, but Nanfeng is closer to her than her own sister.

So theoretically, she can also be called Sister Vina, but Nancy wants to call Vina more sister-in-law, because in her heart, Xia Feng is also her brother.

It may seem like a mess, but Nancy has never been a conservative old school.

To put it bluntly, the intimacy ranking in her mind is that the south wind is greater than the summer wind and is greater than Vina.

Therefore, if Xia Feng can marry Vina, Vena will automatically become her sister-in-law, instead of Xia Feng becoming her brother-in-law.

....

Back to business.

All the officials in the room held their breath and waited for Nancy's answer.

At this time, Nancy, who was the honorary president of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, did not feel a trace of nervousness, and saw her explain generously.

"Vina, this is what I have unanimously decided with everyone at Black Feather to minimize the chamber of commerce's own profits, and make every effort to ensure the interactivity of goods from the north and the south, only when the trade liquidity becomes high, can the country's overall tax revenue be increased."

"But in this case, I'm afraid that even the transportation cost is not enough."

Nancy shook her head.

"The cost problem is only temporary, believe me, I am not reckless, as long as the popularity of China's unique commodities in my country increases, in order to make neighboring countries realize its quality, to make money, we do not make our own country's money, we only earn foreigners' money, this is the purpose of our Black Feather Chamber of Commerce."

Hearing this, the officials in the conference room all showed appreciation.

It is really admirable to sacrifice their immediate interests and set their sights on the future international market.

Of all the people, only Vina sighed softly.

"Did he leave this purpose before leaving?"

Nancy knew who Vina was talking about, and whispered back.

"The boss didn't say it, but we all knew that if he was still around, he would definitely decide so."

Vina's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head slightly.

"It's been half a year, and there is no news of him."

As a woman, Nancy understands Vina's feelings very well, and when she sees the loss that Vina is trying her best to hide, she wants to go over and hug her.

But on this occasion, Nancy could only sigh lightly.

"Not yet."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little inexplicably heavy, Nancy coughed lightly, and then smiled heartily.

"Don't worry, Vina, boss, he must still be alive, with his character, he may not know which country to be happy in."

As if remembering something, Vina pursed her lips and smiled lightly.

"I know that he will definitely not die, just like when we said goodbye in Mandel City, we all thought he was dead, but one day inadvertently, he appeared in front of me again, and not only that, but he also helped me protect my hometown."

"yes, so Vina, be happy."

"Yes, I know."

"Okay, then the regulations on trade between the north and the south have been decided, you should be very busy, don't worry about us, I will take you back to the south in the afternoon, and I will come to see you again when I have time."

Vena stood up.

"Turtles, aren't they going to play in Lentinium for a few more days, I haven't eaten with you yet."

Nancy, dressed in a demure professional suit, stood up from the conference table.

"Heh, don't bother, it's all your own people, after coming out for so long, Turtle Turtle and Ifrit are worried that Xiao Mo and Little Windmill at home will be hungry."

There was some inexplicable loneliness in Vina's eyes, once upon a time, she could come to that barbecue restaurant as she wanted, but now that she is in a high position, everything is out of her own hands.

"Alright then, I'll have the Royal Knights escort you out of town in the afternoon."

"There's really no need to bother, we'll just drive back by ourselves, that's all, bye."

....

Walking out of the royal boardroom, Nancy had just walked around a corner of the corridor when a cup of milk tea was immediately handed to her.

Seeing the familiar face in front of him wearing a military uniform, with a gold epaulette and a golden star hanging on it, Nancy took the milk tea with a disgusted face.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Nanfeng took off his hat and said with a hippie smile.

"I heard that you are going back to the south this afternoon, didn't I come from the military headquarters to see you?"

"Cut, what's there to see."

Afterwards, the two chatted as they walked outside the palace.

"Nancy, I suddenly sneezed last night when I was reviewing the military district documents, and it occurred to me right away, you must be talking about me, right?"

Nancy rolled her eyes.

"Feel good about yourself less, who has the kung fu to talk about you."

"Oh, if it's not you, it must be Xia Feng's kid, hey, that guy doesn't know where to fool around now, and there's no news at all."

...

Walking out of the gate of the palace, Nancy took a few sips of the milk tea in her hand, and then stuffed it back into Nanfeng's hand.

"Hurry up and get back to work, you, the chief of the Imperial War, why are you running around like a communications soldier."

"No, I've got all the work arranged, and I'm going to take you to eat in a moment."

Nancy crossed her waist.

"I'm not a child, who needs you to take me to eat, don't say it, bye."

"Hey, wait a minute."

Nanfeng caught up a few steps, and his expression was suddenly a little embarrassed, as if he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

"That..... Nancy. ”

"If you have something to say, talk about it, and if you fart, let it go."

Sighing, Nanfeng asked tentatively.

"What I want to say is, isn't your wedding to Tanghua still going on?"

Nancy turned and looked at the bustling city outside the palace.

"I said at the beginning that I would invite the boss to my wedding with Tang Hua, but if he didn't come back, I would wait until he showed up before holding it, hum."
