Shirley has always kept in mind the princess and queen who have always been very kind to her. Not all people can deny their relatives in order to develop themselves. The other party has always taken care of herself and accommodated herself. in the heart.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely explain it clearly to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Princess. Besides, you can also go to the imperial capital with the Duke of a country to meet Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Princess."

In short, in Fuya's mouth, changing from a subordinate duke to an independent duke has no harm.

Hearing what Fuya said, Xue Li was also slightly relieved. She was most worried about the emperor, empress and princess. As long as there were no problems with these three, she would have no other worries.

"This is the timetable. Tomorrow morning, you will go to the king's palace in Delinburg. There, under the witness of everyone, you will claim to be the Duke of the new independent principality. In fact, if you can, you can claim to be the kingdom." The king's, that point has also been made."

After all, the real territory of my young lady is already as big as the territory of three or more dukes, even becoming the king of the kingdom is fine, but because it was proposed to be a duke before, this proposal can only be regarded as listening.There are very few people who really take this matter seriously.

"I really want to know, if I was going to accept the canonization of the Fafnir Empire before, then now, whose canonization do I want to accept?"

Shirley was a little curious. After all, this was the first time she had encountered this incident. Before, someone was on top of her head. Now it's all right, and she is her own head.

"Follow the instructions on the form. Tomorrow, you only need to make a declaration in front of many nobles. As long as more than half of the nobles present agree, you will become the Duchess of the new independent principality."

Speaking of this, Fuya couldn't help raising her tone slightly. This was a development that she never thought of from the beginning. She never thought that her young lady could really develop to such a degree.

Acting on a large area of ​​territory in the northern border of the empire and the northern continent, the powerful troops frighten the nobles in the northern border.

"Well, that's it, it feels like something is wrong, but that's it, it's not a big deal anyway."

"It's not a big deal, miss. Tomorrow will be one of the biggest events in your life." Fuya glanced at her lady angrily. She still doesn't know how her status will change after tomorrow. .

The Little Duke: Chapter No.17 Become a Duke

The skies were clear, and the weather in early summer had started to heat up in the central part. Wearing thin aristocratic attire, Shirley, led by Fuya, walked slowly towards the high platform that had already been built.

When she got up in the morning, Fuya pulled her up from the bed, and began to clean her face and hair. In fact, in her view, it was just a canonization, just a formality, but Fuya didn't care. Thinking of it this way, not only did she dress up more lovely than before, but she also customized a purple aristocratic robe specially for her. This kind of purple is specially used by the Duke to represent noble status.

Get off the carriage, and walk slowly towards the high platform along the way. In fact, if it is normal, two people should be required to go on stage. Generally, the promotion to the duke will bring his wife to the high platform with his wife to welcome cheers.But Shirley has no wife.

There is no one who can walk with her anymore, she does not have any immediate family members, and she has never even been married as a little girl.

Looking at the high platform not far away, looking at the surrounding nobles, there is a shining crown on it, which symbolizes the crown that can only be worn by the duke of the principality.The sapphire in the middle, which symbolizes rights, refracts a brilliant light under the sunlight.

"Miss?"

Fuya, who was held back by Shirley, looked at the girl in front of her in surprise. According to the rules, she should leave the young lady now and let her go to the high platform alone. On it, the two imperial envoys and the kings of several other independent kingdoms will be accepted. blessing of.

However, she didn't dare to break free when she was being held back. With so many people watching, if her actions caused the majesty of the young lady to be demolished, then she would be blamed for death.

"Sister Fuya, come up with me."

"I'm just a maid, not qualified."

For this invitation, Fuya refused without even thinking about it. What is her status, how could she stand on the high platform that symbolizes power with Miss.

"I said you have it, and you have it, Sister Fuya, no matter what, you will stand up with me, okay?"

There are so many people below, and there are so many people above, she is also very nervous.Especially accepting blessings and the title of duke from above, she has no experience at all, so she feels very flustered.

"Miss..." Fuya took a deep breath, looking at the long-lost unconfident look in her eyes.For the young lady, it was the pinnacle of glory, but for her, it would be endless purgatory.

As a maid who is completely unqualified to stand on it, going to that kind of place will be a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of many people.Once she loses Shirley's protection, she will become the target of many nobles.

However, looking at the eyes of her young lady's request, she nodded, even if there is purgatory ahead, she is willing even if she falls into the abyss.

Holding Fuya's hand, Shirley excitedly walked towards the high platform with her maid. In her eyes, she didn't know what kind of trouble this would bring to Fuya, but even if it did, she I don't think I can smooth it out for her either.

Seeing the little lord walking towards the high platform with his maid, some nobles were about to go forward to persuade them, but they were stopped by other nobles. For this little lord, some nobles were tolerant, while others were dissatisfied.

"Xue Li, congratulations on becoming a duke. Father asked me to tell you that no matter what, you are one of his two favorite daughters."

It’s not about subordinates, it’s not about titles. The words that Fafnir III asked the prince to bring to Shirley still told her that no matter what, in the heart of the emperor, Shirley was still his daughter, and she was looked down upon by him since she was a child. The little girl who grew up with her.

"Thank you, thank His Majesty the Emperor for me. No matter how I develop, I will never forget the kindness His Majesty has treated me."

As for the other kings or envoys, after the eldest prince of the Fafnir Empire said his blessings, they stepped forward to congratulate the little girl who was about to become a duke.

As for Fuya, who was tightly held by Shirley, these nobles ignored her, or in other words, in their eyes, a maid was not worthy of their attention at all.

She didn't take the crown from anyone. After accepting the congratulations from the top forces in the continent, according to the procedure, Shirley took Fuya's hand and walked slowly to the luxurious booth where the sapphire tiara was placed.

Normally, her boss should put on the tiara for her, but there is no one else, and Shirley doesn't want strangers to help her put on the tiara. The crown of dukedom is placed on his head.

The white Ruoxue's long hair is more beautiful in the sapphire and gold.A pair of red pupils looked at the smiling Fuya.The little hand took the opponent's hand again.

"Will you greet and cheer with me?"

"As you wish."

On the edge of the platform, the girl's petite figure slowly appeared under the sunlight, and the sapphire on her head shone brilliantly.

"I, Earl of Aalborg, Shirley Ling Phoenix announces here the establishment of a new principality, the Principality of Aalborg. As a human race, I will defend the safety of the human continent."

The nobles below looked at the girl in the speech above, and didn't know what to say for a while. Their own hard work is not as good as the little girl's two years of development. What can they say, what else can they say.

Applause, let go of all the jealousy in your heart for a while, at least for now, they can't afford to offend the newly established principality, the newly promoted little duke.

#####################

Shirley is the duke today, and in the imperial capital of the Fafnir Empire, the emperor in the palace is now facing inquiries from his own daughter.

"Shirley became a duke and went out independently, father, you don't really think Shirley will have an impact on the throne of the two royal brothers, do you? She has never had that kind of ambition. If you..."

"When did I doubt Shirley? There are some things you still don't understand. This time, why do you think so many nobles want Shirley to be independent? Do you think they are stupid? Also, you have never thought about why the nobles in the middle , the envoys of St. Leadman allowed Shirley to go out independently? If you know that she has the right to attack other territories freely after she goes out, it is not under our control, so why did they agree?"

Confused by the emperor's series of rhetorical questions, the princess couldn't understand why so many nobles would allow Shirley to go out independently. Wouldn't it be safer for her to belong to the Fafnir Empire.

"Because there is a greater good driving them, Shirley must be allowed to be independent."

Don't understand, Princess Adalia said that she couldn't understand, but her father's series of rhetorical questions made her unable to answer.

"Girl, I know you're worried that we might be suspicious of Shirley, but your father must have his own considerations. We've never doubted Shirley. It's just that there are some things that we must take precautions against."

Outrageous, yesterday's QAQ was not automatically updated, what's the matter.

The Little Duke: Chapter 18 The Ball

"Duke Shirley, congratulations. I am the Earl of XXX Earldom. Thanks to your caravan's care, we can afford the refined salt you made. It has really helped our territory a lot."

The person who spoke was a not very rich earl, and his territory was also in the barren northern seaside, mostly in saline-alkali land. The food production was really not high, and there were no large-scale minerals, so he could only rely on fishing and agriculture to obtain it. food and money.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for the salt sold by Shirley's caravan, and I am very grateful to Shirley for allowing refined salt to be sold so cheaply, so that the citizens of his territory can also afford salt and eat salt.

At the ball, this man was not the first to strike up a conversation. To be honest, Shirley was a little tired. This time, the celebration ball hosted by His Majesty the King was said to be specially for her, but she really didn't want to participate in such a party.With this time, she wished that she could lie on the bed while drinking the juice Fuya prepared for herself, while reading the novel she just found.

"You are really polite, I also need the market in your territory."

"Haha, Duke Shirley was joking. Your complexion is not very good, please rest more." The earl did not struggle with her like other nobles, but chose to leave happily.

Seeing the other party leave, Shirley finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then put a glass of juice in front of her, along with the juice came several pieces of chopped mutton.

"Miss, the food I found for you, eat something to fill your stomach first."

"Well, it's Sister Fuya who understands me, this meat is really delicious."

Using a silver fork to insert the piece of meat cut by Fuya into the mouth, Shirley couldn't help showing a smile on her originally unhappy face.

"Tender, juicy and delicious. It's worthy of being a court cook."

"If Miss likes me, I can go to the kitchen to study..."

Seeing that Fuya wanted to go to the kitchen to steal a teacher, Shirley quickly stopped her, it's fine in the imperial capital, after all, it was her own person at that time, now you go to someone else's kitchen to steal a teacher, you can't be beaten come out.

"Stay with me for a while, as soon as you left, the group of nobles rushed over, each and every one of them said unnutritious words. It's useless at all."

Or if you want to discuss business with her, is she the one who can negotiate business? If you want to ask business questions, just ask Ningguang directly, she is her chief financial officer.

Then someone proposed to establish an in-law relationship with her, hehe, in-law relationship, she couldn't marry their daughter, right? As for those boys, she didn't even want to take a second look.

As for others, they hoped to form an alliance with her, the duke, through diplomatic relations, but Shirley still told him that she had left all diplomatic issues to Zhuge Liang, and of course there was Emily, the Queen of the Fox Clan.Go to them for diplomacy.

As for talking about politics and development, she rejected all of them, and said that she had already allocated rights in the territory.If you want to solve all the problems at once, please go to Zhuge Liang, as long as he agrees, she will agree.

The trust in Zhuge Liang made many nobles' minds start to crooked. As for what they plan to do, it depends on how flexible their bottom line is.

"Would you like to go to the balcony over there and look at the night sky outside from the balcony, it should make you feel better."

Seeing that Xueli was in a bad mood at this time, Fuya pulled Xueli to the balcony not far away. After getting rid of the crowd, she finally came to the balcony. Looking at the starry sky outside, Xueli took a deep breath. tone.

"Sister Fuya, do you think it's really right for me to do this? I killed so many people, destroyed so many territories, and obtained the title of duke. However, I don't know if I did it right or not."

"The emperor directly asked me to be independent. I don't know what the princess sister and the queen are thinking. Moreover, during the expansion process, so many people died. I still can't forget the scene on the battlefield. .”

The scene on the battlefield, Fuya quickly thought of the time when her own lady vomited in pain because of the tragedy of the battlefield.

Couldn't help but put her hand on Xue Li's head, looking at her thoughtful young lady, Fuya said softly: "Miss, I don't blame you, Your Majesty, Queen, and Princess Highness won't blame you for this. of."

"Besides, on the battlefield, it's either you die or I die. If you don't defeat the opponent, I'm afraid we will be the unlucky ones, and those nobles will not have your kindness."

In the territory, the people not only eat well and live well, but are also full of hope for life. Where can they find such a lord.

"Excuse me, do the two ladies need some juice?"

A young man's voice broke the cleanliness of the balcony and interrupted the two people on the balcony. Shirley turned her head dissatisfied and looked at the source of the voice, only to see the young man with long red hair whom she had met before. Holding a bottle of juice, he asked himself shyly.

"So it was you, why did you come here to be a businessman today?"

"No, no, I was robbed of my money and food because I met sand robbers. Now I am doing odd jobs here to solve the money and food problems as soon as possible."

Vitok touched the back of his head and laughed a few times, perhaps because he had revealed himself, the blush on his face became more obvious.

"So you've solved the food problem now?"

"It's solved. I can share some of the leftovers here today. Although it's not much, it's still okay to eat for a day."

Poured two glasses of juice for Xueli and Fuya, and was about to leave when Xueli said, "How much will you pay for working here for one night?"

The corners of his eyes were raised slightly, and after a little thought, he said, "For tonight, one gold coin per night."

"Tsk tsk, it's really huge profits. I really didn't expect that there are such rich people here."

But if you think about it carefully, there is no problem. The other party produces gold here, and gold is expensive in other places, but here it means that there is no price.

"A gold coin can be used as the capital of your business. Are you going to leave by then?"

"No, no, a gold coin is nothing here." Shirley waved her hands repeatedly.The look of being in a hurry is really cute.

Seeing Vitok's appearance, Shirley and Fuya couldn't help but smile at each other, and then Shirley said with a smile on her face. "Would you like to tell me about the customs and customs here, and I'll give you a gold coin."

"No... No need, how can I work for others while working for others? Although I want money, I still have professional ethics."

Make up for yesterday's post. This should have been posted yesterday.Mad.

The Little Duke: Chapter 19 St. Leadman's Invitation

In the long purple dress, a pair of beautiful legs loomed in the group with the swing of the skirt, and the originally slender waist twisted as she walked like a weak willow supporting the wind.A pair of jewel-like blue eyes, ignoring the hospitality offered by the surrounding nobles, seemed to be looking for something.

"I said Adlai, you can't listen to me, I am combined with that little lord, that is a match made in heaven, can't you consider helping me?"

Prince Arthur followed closely behind Adlai, looking at this woman with beautiful blond hair, his eyes were immediately attracted by the magnificence in front of her.

In the same way, Adelaide could only sigh helplessly when he noticed the sight that his little prince was putting on him.

"My Royal Highness, that little lord has killed all the way from the earl to the duke, and the lives in his hands may be thousands if not ten thousand. Are you sure you and her are a match made in heaven?"

It wasn't that she looked down on the little prince, but he still wanted to get into the eyes of the little lord. Even if it was night, he shouldn't have such a dream, and he didn't know who gave him the courage.

"Why don't you look at me? I'm the prince of the Saint Lideman Empire, the future prince. What can't you look at? I'm lower than her?"

"No, you are weaker than her in force. To put it simply, you can't beat her."

Blinking and blinking, this guy meant that he couldn't beat that little lord, but what's wrong with that, if he couldn't beat him, he couldn't beat him.

Seeing that his little prince still didn't understand, Adlai thought about it carefully before continuing, "You don't think that if you are with that little lord, she will allow you to make trouble outside Attract butterflies."

"Why not? Aren't there all nobles here? I'm the prince."

"So, in that case, she will have to fight the prince in the future. And no one will stand on your side. Believe it or not."

With his head tilted to the right and above his shoulder, a pair of big confused eyes looked at Adlai, who was smiling but gave him a feeling of gloating.
