rise of empire total war

Chapter 249 Confession
With the efforts of the Foreign Minister Gallup, the Kingdom of Pravia finally agreed to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Lusino. The Chinese army still has the power to fight, so the content of the contract is very simple, that is, the two sides have unconditional peace and enter a five-year truce period. During this period, neither party can declare war on the other party. Violators will be regarded as "breachers" .

Although he was very dissatisfied with this contract, King Nicres II of Pravia was also helpless. After receiving the report from the frontline commander, he paid attention to the movements of the Winsters and learned that the opposing king was fighting with Lavia. After the marriage of Queen Vanner, they toured the country hand in hand. Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he still did not dare to relax completely. He was afraid that the war would continue. When Richard finished his tour, he would have to face the invasion of Winster's army again.

However, counting the war process with the Kingdom of Lucino in detail, except for the last battle, they fought against each other throughout the whole process, and the losses left to the Lucino people were greater than the losses the opponent left to themselves. If the purpose is revenge, it can barely be achieved.More importantly, even in the last battle, his army did not suffer major losses, and the chain armor knights who suddenly attacked from behind more likely broke the morale of the soldiers.

When the contract officially came into effect, the armies of the two countries were disbanded, and the soldiers returned home with the spoils of war, and the Winster "mercenaries" led by Magnus also got what they deserved. Military pay, in addition to the military pay that everyone receives at the highest price in the mercenary market, there is also the [-] silver coins promised to the Kingdom of Winster-a lot of silver coins at once, which made the royal family of Lucino not rich enough to earn. It became even more embarrassing, and in desperation, they had no choice but to increase a few more taxes among the people, relying on taxes to make up for fiscal expenditures.

However, this undoubtedly increased the contradiction between the people and the government. When war broke out in the kingdom, they actively responded to the call and took up arms to fight the enemy. Many relatives and friends died on the battlefield. Now that peace has finally ushered in, they have lost their lives in the blink of an eye. news of increased taxes.For a time, public dissatisfaction arose, and the security of the entire kingdom declined sharply.

However, this has nothing to do with the Winsters. After getting paid, this illustrious "mercenary" left the Kingdom of Lucino, returned to Mabuku, and then returned to Nord along the paved road. city.

As for Richard?After finishing the parade in the Premi Territory, Richard went to the two counties of the Ulif Territory and the Osriger Territory successively. After all this was over, the parade trip in the Winster Kingdom area also came to an end— —Actually, I will go to the Cunya area for a cruise, but Richard canceled the cruise in the area on the grounds that he is not the king of the Cunya people. In fact, even if he went, it would not change Cunya. The demihumans have no sense of belonging and loyalty to the kingdom.

To deal with the Cunha people, Richard decided to use the same old tactics and ordered Cardinal and Palace Chamberlain Peter Scanrell to send a large number of missionaries to transform the local people's belief ideas. As long as they can make them believe in Christ, almost anything can be done. The system can force them to be loyal to Richard.

……

On August 1114, 8 in the continental calendar, Richard and Stephanie returned to Nord City. The two will spend the next year together in Nord City. After one year, they will go to Ravana. Rule in the city of Ravana.

Richard actually had a bad premonition. Before he arrived in Nord City, he suddenly thought of Lacik Princess Lephne in Ippolito Palace. Although Stephanie had seen her before, but because of time Because of the reason, she didn't notice the relationship between her and Richard, and now they have to live together for a long time, if Stephanie finds out about their relationship, then the harem will be on fire.

Similar things happen frequently in this foreign world. The wife of a nobleman quarreled with her after discovering that she was cheating openly, and finally divorced because of this. It is very common to have a lover outside at the same time, but this is not on the table after all.

Richard was afraid that Stephanie would be furious because of Lephne's existence. It was a small matter for him to lose his reputation, but it was a big deal for him to lose control of the Kingdom of Ravana because of the divorce.

Thinking of this, Richard's mind turned wildly, thinking about how to solve this tricky matter. He is now the same as the person who is about to be discovered cheating in the future, but he really has no love experience, so he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Why can't I learn from the scumbag Hong Se-hyun?He sighed secretly.

After a long time, Richard coughed lightly, and he decided to take a risky move and take the initiative to attack.He stretched out his hand and suddenly held Stephanie's hands, the latter was taken aback by his sudden move, before Stephanie could speak, Richard took the initiative to say: "Stephanie, there is something I want to tell you in advance. "

"What's the matter?" Stephanie asked.

"Don't be angry about what I said." Richard said, while carefully observing Stephanie's expression. The latter was naturally at a loss. She asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Ahem, do you remember the Rasik girl Revney in Ippolito Palace?"

"Revni?" Stephanie repeated the name in Richard's mouth, as if recalling it, and after a while, she nodded and said, "Yes, I remember her, she looks pretty of."

"Actually, she was given to me by the Lasik people in order to seek peace. The grand duke of the Lasiks wanted her to marry me and promote the alliance between the two countries, but I refused." Richard said , while observing Stephanie, "Although I refused, but for some reason, she did not return to the Principality of Lasik, but followed me to live in Nord."

Having said all this, Stephanie seemed to understand something. She frowned, looked at Richard sharply, and asked, "Then she became your lover?"

To the point!Richard froze, not knowing what to say for a while, but Stephanie didn't stop, and continued to ask: "Do you want to tell me about this, tell me that you have a mistress in the palace?"

"..."

Richard was silent for a while, then nodded, and replied, "That's right."

"You..." Although she had some mental preparations, Stephanie was still choked up by Richard's direct admission. She struggled to pull Richard's hands out, took a deep breath, and slowly He spit out slowly, as if trying to calm himself down.

Seeing her like this, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in Richard's heart.
