brave man i love you

After the old king's funeral, Princess Myrcella took the throne.

There is almost no interval between the two ceremonies, but everyone can understand that the throne must not be left vacant.As soon as the dinner of the succession ceremony ended, Myrcella called some of the lords into the meeting room to discuss things that Alice was not clear about.

Obviously, Alice is not among the [partial] lords, so she can only watch the stars and the moon on the balcony of the palace alone, and at the same time silently think about how to warm up the relationship between herself and Tia after returning.

Rusting, rustling, the tall broad-leaved trees made a rustling sound. Alice stared at the leaves motionlessly, guessing whether it would be Vido with his own flash or Harold who loved mischief. Be more refined.

The first thing that appeared outside the leaves was a delicate red rose. The warm lamp in the corridor shone on it, and the dewdrops shone a little bit. Then came the hand holding the rose, and then came the gorgeous robe and the handsome young man. .

Alice looked at the real prince who was standing wobbly on the treetop, and was about to go back to the room to pour a cup of hot water to water the flowers.

"Good evening, Alice." The prince in front of him is naturally not dressed as a clown in the manor that day. His golden hair is carefully combed, and the whole suit looks noble and close-fitting. It's a pity that the time is not good, and people are probably not very good. nice guy.What happened in the manor was nothing, mainly Queen Josephine, should I say Queen Mother now?It really frightened Alice.

"Good evening, Your Royal Highness." Tsk, there was no way to pretend not to know about pouring hot water, and Alice saluted perfunctorily without shaking her arms a few centimeters.

"Can you give me a hand?"

"No, Your Highness."

"Please, I can't jump that far from the treetop!" After speaking, the branch really shook, and he hugged the trunk with his whole body, completely unable to see where he could jump.

Ah, what a shame, but... he doesn't have any talent in combat skills, it's a bit pathetic.Compassion took effect, Alice lightly jumped onto the railing, this action is absolutely forbidden on Earth, but it is not dangerous to a person from another world with imposing manner: "Grab my hand."

William was dragged pitifully by Alice, and stood on the balcony to bask in the moonlight like a plastic bag.

"His Royal Highness, do you have anything else to do? If you have nothing to do, you can go out and turn left. I'm still waiting... Your Majesty's meeting is over." With this prince, there is really no need to maintain a serious state.

"Wait a minute, Alice, do you really not think about me?" His Royal Highness's smile made Alice's fists itch, but he said the second half of the sentence that was different from Lenovo: "I mean, you applauded That thing."

How did this guy know that I was the one applauding him?With his talent, it is impossible to see through the disguise. Could it be Empress Josephine's suggestion?Oops, I'm in a daze now, isn't it the default? !

"You don't need to bother." William smiled harmlessly, with a little childish innocence: "I probably understand what the queen mother thinks, I don't have that kind of unreasonable idea, but, if you want, create a Everything is brand new, isn't it?"

No, you don't understand!Alice's heart sank suddenly, even if she was simple-minded, she knew what kind of association this kind of conversation would have on the watchers who must be nearby.Is this prince so natural that he only knows how to express in this language, or is he deliberately putting himself in his camp?

At this time, as expected, only the Gongdou mode can be turned on - no wonder!Alice looked around, neither the crown nor herself noticed the change, the people in the dark obviously didn't plan to come out to disturb the matter, so I'm sorry, idiot prince!

With William's unbelievable expression, he was kicked on the leg and lost his balance, and then the collar was lifted by his hand, causing Alice, who was full of magical power, to be thrown into the canopy of the tree!

"Take a good look at the moon! Your Royal Highness!" Bang Dang, the door leading to the bedroom from the balcony was closed, and with a click, the window was also locked.

Alice waited in the bedroom until she fell asleep. Finally, there was a light knock on the door, and it was Tia who came back!Hehehe, of course the rooms of the two are different, but...whatever it is!It's the last day!

With a click, the door was opened by Alice, and she hugged Tia: "It's so slow! Princess... Your Majesty, why did she call you for so long?"

Tia walked into the bedroom and closed the door: "It's about the army. Your Majesty hopes that Lord Aretha and Ms. Andrea will assist her in managing the guards, and she will also give them the right to expand their armaments. As for me and a few others The corresponding expansion license has also been obtained.”

Alice, who has been in another world for two years, also understands this situation. In fact, Tia came to assist Myrcella in place of her parents. After all, she is also a devout follower of the Lord of Radiance.Thinking about it carefully, Myrcella really trusts those lords who have chosen the belief of the Lord of Radiance more, and is more serious about people like me who have no specific beliefs and have been briefly transformed by spellcasters.

Well, considering that Melis is one of the important contributors to finance and taxation, Myrcella's true attitude towards me is probably lower than indifference. Thinking of this, Alice is a little bit lost, she still hopes to be liked .

"Alice? Don't worry. The expansion of armaments is to better protect the country and the people. It's not a bad thing. Don't be afraid." Tia's gentle tone made Alice's heart itch, and the sense of loss disappeared.

"I know, Tia~ But what about the financial aspect? Our country's foundation is very good, but in recent years, it seems that we have invested more and more in the church and the army, right?" As a person from another world, Alice asked The lives of the people are dull, and beside Tia, she can only see the life of flowers and brocades. The villages that Qiushou passes through are not too bad compared to the Middle Ages in the earth textbooks.But the missions that Mephisto took her out showed her... suffering.

"Taxes will increase." When Tia said this, she also had obvious disapproval. It is always inappropriate for a monarch to increase taxes as soon as he succeeds to the throne.

"Tax increase? It's too simple and rude. I heard from Syrio that the grape production in the nearby territories has decreased this autumn, and the wine industry has also been affected. Because of the raging white crystal remnants, even the farms near Meris that have various protection measures are in danger. It’s a bit of a loss, so it must be worse in other territories, right?” Alice wanted to roll her eyes, not to mention other people, just look at the nearest Andrea, as a lord, she can hardly afford to burn charcoal!

This is indeed a world of magic. Magic makes life full of convenience. Unfortunately, most of the territory of the Kingdom of St. Alan has closed its doors to magic, and magic spar is a luxury. I really don’t know what the new king wants. How to make the people accept the status quo that the army and the church are expanding, but life is getting worse.

For a moment, Alice felt that it might be good for William to succeed to the throne. Merris and Mephisto carefully manipulated the surplus money and minerals into the arms of the spellcasters, and the spellcasters reciprocated, sending rich people All kinds of magic materials and spell support that are urgently needed: the good weather around Meris for a whole year is not a gift of luck.As soon as Myrcella increases the tax, the cooperation next year will be renegotiated, and there is a possibility of being discovered.

No, I can't think that way, I'm just the Lord Meris in name!Alice forced herself to jump out of the confines of a rich landowner, and saw the reluctance in Tia's smile: She is also a lord, and tax increases will also affect her territory.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do." Tia was silent for a while, and then slowly stroked Alice's back. She didn't know whether to comfort Alice or tell herself: "The danger of hiring a spellcaster is too great, so be careful." Enchanted spellcasters need more military patrols, and the church also conveys that the danger is approaching, and the people can understand it."

The two looked at each other in silence, holding Alice's soft hand, Tia gently said the one thing she disagreed with the most: "Your Majesty, she has decided to unite the elves to crusade against the border races this summer."

【"Mephisto, what are the border races? Are they the orcs mentioned in the book?"】

["In a narrow sense, it refers to certain types of orcs, but only some of the current border races are orcs, and some are mixed-blood lives or other races in exile. They will be called border races because they do not have the concept of a city-state. They only wander around the periphery of various countries to hunt and plunder.”]

Mephisto said this before... Alice also understands why Tia is so embarrassed. The border races did often invade various countries when the Magic Era just ended, but now that the church is so powerful, they are more Those who only dare to hunt monsters, use furs, raw ores, and cores to trade with border peoples.There are indeed many criminals among them.

Myrcella's so-called crusade has certain legitimacy: the border races do occupy places they shouldn't occupy, and the forest belongs to either country A or country B. Do you want to unite the elves?That is within the sphere of influence of the elves.It is [normal behavior] to drive out border races, confiscate all property, and even capture them as [nationals].

If St. Alan was a slavery country, he could still receive a batch of free slaves: Of course not, but who can guarantee that the soldiers and mercenaries who heard the news would not have this idea?

"Is Tia going to participate too?" Alice squeezed Tia's hand nervously, she knew how much her hero hated such [legitimate and unjust] things.

"I refused, but Lord Aretha ordered me...and my team to participate in the crusade under her leadership." Lord Aretha... No wonder Tia stopped calling her Aunt Aretha in private, What is Aretha thinking?Alice didn't understand, what is the benefit of forcing Tia to participate in this war?

"Tia, can't you refuse completely? As long as Tia is unwilling, I can oppose it with Tia!"

"No, I will go, rejection is not justice, it is just escape."

The night is very deep, wrapped in too many deeper dark colors.
