Chapter 721 Attack
“Your Majesty Veronica!”
The Foreign Minister, who was deeply expected (disliked) and abandoned by Princess Melisande and eager to make achievements, patiently Tianzi waited until the queen announced the start of the private banquet, but before the armor-piercing old man started cutting the cake, he couldn't wait to stand up.
"Excuse me, did Princess Philia, the only survivor after the fall of the Kingdom of Korok, come to this banquet?"
Huh?
Hearing that someone was concerned about his neighbor's situation, Leon, who was recuperating, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and turned his attention to the old man who was speaking.
Hmm...not very old.
Excluding the overly mature look on her body and the fact that the beard is popular in the Northern Kingdom, her skin condition is estimated to be around thirty, and she should be a few years older than Veronica.
Although for me, who is only 280 months old and whose skin is tender and tender after the increase in dye value, this man can be called an old man, but in countries where the average person is over forty years old, Among the envoys, he is still an out-and-out young man.
In summary, he is an old man, but he is a young man.
After taking a look at the attire of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Northern Kingdom, and recognizing his origins based on his coat of arms and clothing, Lyon, who heard Veronica talk about the Northern Kingdom's plans, directly answered on her behalf:
"Filia has her own affairs to be busy with, and she doesn't have any acquaintances here, so she didn't come to the banquet. Do you have anything to ask her about?"
"Yes, I There is indeed something that I would like to ask.”
After looking at Queen Veronica twice, I couldn’t get the reaction I wanted from her face, I only saw a calm expression. Smiling slightly, the foreign minister of the Northern Kingdom couldn't help but frown, and then decisively changed his target and looked at Lyon, asking with stern eyes:
"Your Excellency, may I ask about Princess Philia of the Kingdom of Korok?" , why did you not lead the people to rebuild the Korok Kingdom, but chose to lead the remaining people to move across the country and attach themselves to your country with the legacy of the Korok Kingdom? ”
"Let me answer this question."
After glancing at Lyon, who was still pale, Queen Veronica reached out to hold his arm and replied calmly:
"The Kingdom of Korok suffered a tsunami that only happens once in a thousand years. Although the people successfully escaped, the entire kingdom was destroyed by the tsunami. It lacked food, clothing, and supplies. It no longer had the ability to rebuild the kingdom on the original site.
It happened that Leon was going there on behalf of the kingdom to discuss cooperation due to some matters, so he acted as a mediator and persuaded Her Highness Philia to take the affected people to accept our help and come here to rest for a while. < br>
But after that, neither she nor the remnants of the original Korok Kingdom had much interest in rebuilding the mechanical capital that was destroyed by the tsunami, so they simply settled down. ”
"That's it."
After nodding with a sudden look on his face, the foreign minister of the Northern Kingdom twitched his lips, and then asked with a smile:
"In other words, in that way, The remnants of the Kingdom of Korok, represented by Her Highness Philia, have only temporarily settled in your country. They have not become vassals of your country and have been completely annexed by your country...right?"
"Yes. "
Princess Veronica smiled back at him and said calmly:
"Of course there is no talk of annexation. It is just out of the most basic humanitarianism, to help ordinary people who were shipwrecked, and to help them integrate into the new environment as much as possible while providing assistance.
After all, we have always been a country that pursues peace. In the past two hundred years, we have not fought a war to plunder from abroad. Instead, we have been passively subjected to aggression by other countries and have annexed many territories... Are you right? "
"..." Facing Princess Veronica's counterattack with a gun and a stick, the foreign minister of the Northern Kingdom was about to fight back when he heard a loud voice beside him.
“Your Majesty Veronica!”
After calling out, a dark, lean and lean middle-aged man took a step forward and walked to the side of the Northern Kingdom's Foreign Minister. He said loudly with piercing eyes:
"As a matter of fact, we have maintained the relationship with your country. As allies with good relations for hundreds of years, we, the Kingdom of Morna, are willing to stand together with your country to help those remnants of the Kingdom of Korok who have lost their homes!”
When he said this, the thin black man glanced at him! The foreign minister of the Northern Kingdom glanced at it, and then added:
"In addition, the Northern Kingdom and the Kingdom of Refraction also have the same plan. Although the Kingdom of Saio is not able to accommodate the survivors, it is willing to provide ships and waterways. Help us complete this good deed... You shouldn’t have any objections, right?”
Prince Lucian of the Kingdom of Morna?
Seeing this middle-aged man who couldn't wait to stand up, Princess Veronica couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little surprised.
The Northern Kingdom's attack is very normal, but as one of the kingdom's die-hard allies, the Kingdom of Morna did not even have private contact with itself, directly skipped the process of discussing the transfer of benefits, and simply stood firm. When she arrived at the Northern Kingdom, it was a bit beyond her expectation.
After all, the technology left behind by the Kingdom of Korok is an unimaginably rich wealth. It is unlikely that he will completely monopolize it. He will definitely have to share some profits with his allies.
And my mother is a distant branch of the Kingdom of Morna. With my relationship with the Kingdom of Morna, I will almost certainly get a lot of benefits there. There is no need to stand on the opposite side of me. necessary.
It’s done!
Seeing Queen Veronica frowning slightly and not answering the question immediately, but looking at her with a frown, the Foreign Minister of the Northern Kingdom couldn't help but smile confidently, and then gave her a meaningful smile back.
Although the Kingdom of Morna is your ally, Prince Lucian is not necessarily your ally. The interests of the Kingdom of Morna may not necessarily be the interests of the family behind him.
According to the treaty he signed with the Kingdom of Sio, if he still sides with you this time, although Prince Lucian can get benefits for the Kingdom of Morna, he and the family behind him , but have to resist the attacks of the King of the North and the Kingdom of Sail.
But if he chooses to give up supporting you and stand on our side, the benefits of the Kingdom of Morna will still be great, and not only will he not be targeted, but he will even be able to conquer the world with his own support. Taking the biggest piece of the benefits, the price paid is nothing more than offending you.
But you have just ascended the throne and are in desperate need of support from all parties. As long as you are a little more rational, you will not choose to turn against the Kingdom of Morna and give up a possible help because of this irreparable loss. , so this price can be said to be completely insignificant.
In addition, after the Kingdom of Morna, which is supposed to be close to you, suddenly announced that it has given up its support for you this time, the pressure on the second ally who wants to step forward will suddenly increase. Standing up at this time is almost equivalent to directly confronting the three parties. The great kingdom is at war with each other.
Among the rest of your allies, there are no prince-level envoys present. The highest-ranking envoys who come are only the foreign minister and the leader of a certain political party.
But with their rank and status, even if they have the courage and determination to stand up and take on this matter, they do not have the power to represent the kingdoms behind them and take on such a big thing.
In other words, when you let me enter the previous auditorium and come into contact with Prince Lucian of the Kingdom of Morna, your failure was already doomed!
