In the Name of the Queen

Some are happy and some are sad.

The Sussex Empire was naturally jubilant when they learned that Roland proposed to the Queen.

As the Queen came of age and ascended the throne, her marriage gradually became the focus of people's attention.

The marriage of the royal family and the upper echelons is often not related to love, but tied to politics.

As a politician, it is basic to separate feelings from interests.

According to common sense, female monarchs will mostly marry important foreign figures and let their children inherit the family name and the throne.

The reason for not marrying with the nobles of their own country is simple. It may destroy the political balance and even cause the most important crown to change hands.

The imperial power is above all else, and no matter how small the hidden danger is, it is not allowed to exist.

In order to ensure that the royal family members are willing to accept the rules, these political elites can freely pursue love outside of marriage.

Have children with your spouse and enjoy love with your lover.

This is the default rule.

Sophia was forced to kill her husband because he did too much.

In order to humiliate Sophia and her family, the rebellious former emperor threw Sophia in the cold palace as a mascot, never touching her, and playing with her outside.

To be fair, his lovers were far inferior to Sophia in appearance and temperament, but he just didn't like the Prudens and didn't like the marriage arranged by his mother.

Sophia was insulted, Sophia was very angry, and he died.

Sif's marriage has recently become the biggest topic of conversation among the subjects of the Sussex Empire.

They recognize the relationship between Roland and Sif, but don't think they will get married.

Roland's power is too great.

If Roland has other intentions, he is fully capable of using marriage to change the dynasty of the empire. By then, the royal family of the Sussex Empire will become the Lundbell family.

This is politics.

The subjects of the Sussex Empire are a little regretful.

Although they know that it is more appropriate for the queen to recruit foreign nobles to marry, they still feel sorry.

They hope that the queen will marry for love.

The queen, who is as shining and beautiful as an elf, will also be eroded by the secular world. They will really be heartbroken.

Roland's public proposal made them excited.

The queen agreed on the spot, which made them so excited that they opened champagne directly.

One hundred million citizens instantly became geeks. They didn't care what the royal family's surname was, they just wanted to see the queen put on a wedding dress and marry her beloved.

The news of Roland's proposal quickly spread throughout the Rodinia continent.

Rupert couldn't hold back after all, and wrote a wonderful story overnight under the name of Anonymous.

The Queen didn't allow him to make false reports about the royal family.

But what he wrote were real stories, not rumors, so it didn't matter.

The Sun once again set records for both unit price and sales.

In particular, the hardcover special edition printed with pictures of the proposal scene was sold out despite the high price of one Su pound.

There are many illiterate people, but not many blind people.

Many people buy a copy home purely as a souvenir.

After the Sun announced that the net profit from the sale of the special issue would be used for the Queen's wedding, the newspaper's sales network was almost trampled by the enthusiastic crowd.

The popularity and popularity that Sif enjoys are incomparable to the big stars in the entertainment industry.

There are many old antiques who don't like actors, but there are few Sussex people who don't like the Queen.

If you don't cheer for the Queen's love, what kind of person are you?

With the emergence of this question, the Sussex people who had not yet had time to buy the special issue hurried to line up at the door of the newspaper sales outlet.

Taking advantage of the craze for buying newspapers and special issues, Roland took the opportunity to ask the Minister of Culture and Education to send people to promote compulsory education to ordinary people.

"If you can't read, you can't even understand the Queen's love, you can only read a picture!"

This down-to-earth slogan instantly awakened the ignorant people who thought education was dispensable.

You're right, if you don't read, you can't even understand the newspaper. Isn't it uncomfortable?

Roland designed entry-level textbooks for these people and hired junior teachers from various countries on the Rodinia continent to carry out literacy education.

His language textbook blueprint came from another world.

Anyway, the copyright fee does not need to be paid across dimensions, so he feels at ease using it.

After simplifying it again, Roland took advantage of this wave of popularity to compile four subjects: basic linguistics, basic mathematics, basic nature and basic military science.

Seeing the textbooks he compiled, the Minister of Culture and Education couldn't help but complain that they were too simple and too rough.

Facing the objections of the Minister of Culture and Education, Roland also insisted on his own ideas.

Whether it is art or science, there must be a foundation.

What he needs to do is to popularize the foundation.

Some people also reminded him that the war with the Vladimir Empire was imminent, and investing a lot of resources in compulsory education, which was very slow to take effect, was not a matter of priority, and hoped that Roland would change his plan.

Wait until the war is over before starting compulsory education!

At least seven cabinet ministers signed this proposal, including the mature and steady William and Roland's confidant Athos.

Roland drew a circle at the bottom of the proposal, simply wrote "read", and then asked the secretary to hand it over to the archives for sealing.

The cabinet ministers' opinions were very good, but unfortunately they did not understand the value of the inheritor.

After feeling the power of the ice crystal blue ring, Roland knew how terrifying Sophia's strength was.

She did show the data bar and was no longer invincible.

But Sophia's data was too exaggerated, full of suffocating numerical expansion beauty.

And this was her strength before she went into seclusion.

The return day is approaching, will Sophia's strength really not grow any more?

Roland felt that time was running out, and he urgently needed a chance to break the deadlock.

Using the popularity of the marriage proposal to promote compulsory education was the only way he could think of to break the deadlock.

He wants to be the father of compulsory education in the Sussex Empire.

Even if this will become the grave-digging of absolute imperial power in the future.

Only the living are qualified to worry about tomorrow, not the dead.

With the mentality of "I've done it, it's better to do it thoroughly", Roland raised the ice crystal blue ring and publicly proposed to Sif.

It was very romantic, but it was also a solid slap on Sophia's face.

Even proposing directly to Sophia was not so insulting.

Of course, Roland couldn't propose to Sophia, not because he was afraid of rejection, but because he was afraid that she would directly agree and let him go over to hold the wedding, then he would be dumbfounded on the spot.

Breaking off the marriage is not only a great insult in his hometown, but also here.

Sophia's patience is not that good. She can't wait for three years and will immediately expose him.

If he doesn't provoke publicly, Sophia won't be angry; if he provokes too much, he won't be too angry.

So Roland chose to propose to Sif with Sophia's wedding ring.

It's very insulting, but it's not done thoroughly.

Roland and Sif plan to take an imperial tour.

Sussex is very large, and they plan to visit various provinces to let more subjects witness the queen's heroic figure with their own eyes, and promote compulsory education by the way.

"Do you want to know the queen's story? Do you want to read books and newspapers? Come to participate in compulsory education! Every citizen of the empire is eligible to receive no less than three years of compulsory education."

"Compulsory education is free!"

In Sussex, free and free are the same word.

This propaganda slogan is a pun.

Compulsory education is both free and free.

Before the imperial tour begins, Sif has something to do.

Try Sophia's power.

Roland is protecting her, and Christine is ready to rescue her. She wants to challenge Sophia alone——

Ring.

The challenge location is in Baishan.

Standing on the sea of ​​flowers, with ginkgo trees behind her, Roland is on the side, facing the attenuated ice crystal blue ring. Winning is certain, but what she wants is not victory, but a complete victory.

She wanted to melt the ice crystals while talking and laughing, blooming like flowers, leaving the most beautiful smile to Roland.

Even if the hair ends are a little messy, it is not a complete victory.

Under the ginkgo tree, Sif's expression is calm, as if she is on an outing.

In front of her is a tablecloth and a dazzling array of food.

A bottle of Milan champagne, which will be opened after the verification is completed.

Although the food is good, Roland really has no appetite. After a few bites, he once again emphasized the power of the ice crystal blue ring blooming.

Sif gathered her mind, looked solemn, and nodded solemnly.

Although she was eager to win, she would never be arrogant.

After eating her favorite golden apple, she stood up suddenly and said with a smile: "Let's start."

Roland and Christine didn't waste any words and directly buffed her.

Holy light surged from the hands of the two and slowly fell on Sif.

The regular BUFF was filled up, Roland adjusted his state, and was ready to use the divine blessing to save people at any time.

Christine also put a whole bucket of holy water next to her.

The Paladin who is best at protecting teammates and the divine priest who is best at healing and dispelling, if this can't save him, then no one can save him unless the goddess descends.

It's just a ring that has decayed, nothing will go wrong.

Roland is fully prepared, but he doesn't think anything will really go wrong.

After exchanging glances with Sif again, Roland took out the magic scroll and activated the ring.

Deep blue cold air surged out and instantly enveloped Sif.

Looking at Sif, who was as delicate and beautiful as an ice sculpture, Roland's face was bloodless and his face was also pale.

No, there is something wrong with this ring!

There is obviously something wrong with the color of this cold air.

The color of the cold air that froze him that day was blue, but it was far less dark than today.

The difference is probably the color difference between Uranus and Neptune.

The closer the cold air driven by extraordinary power is to absolute zero, the darker the color.

It is said that extremely cold black ice can be infinitely close to absolute zero.

The deep blue cold air has a lethal low temperature that exceeds the limit of carbon-based life.

Roland released the divine blessing without any hesitation.

Christine was also startled. She grabbed the holy water bucket and poured it on.

Holy water has a nearly constant temperature, which is the most suitable temperature for human consumption.

The light milky concentrated holy water was poured on the ice sculpture, making a "sizzling" sound, and the ice gradually melted like ice cream in the sun.

Roland cast a market-like look at Christine and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just the ring, not Sophia herself. It was scary but not fatal.

Just as Roland breathed a sigh of relief and continued to observe, the ice that was just melting suddenly solidified, and the holy water was also frozen.

The pale white added a touch of vividness to the original pure blue.

If this was ice cream, Roland would think that the maker was full of artistic imagination.

But this was not ice cream, it was his wife Sif.

Roland's soul was almost frozen.

The last drop of holy water was frozen, and the temperature around it dropped sharply.

Christine could not withstand the invasion of the cold air and was forced to retreat.

She was about to take Roland with her when she saw a tall figure rushing towards the ice sculpture.

Roland's robe fluttered in the air, and he was shirtless, hugging the ice sculpture tightly.
