"Huh I've been so busy lately" I sat on the chair with my eyelids drooping and yawned loudly: "It's really unpleasant to deal with those guys who think they are nobles "
Because of the Draco Chris, I easily gained the recognition of the World Government. Of course, this is also because the Draco allow fights between heirs. Each successor can personally designate a successor. Supporting the country, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to an armed force privately owned by those people, used to ensure that they can win in the final battle for power.
However, this also caused me to keep dealing with some officials within the Celestial Dragons and the World Government for days. If I didn't have to let them go back to report my ideas, I would definitely tie them on a rope and throw them to the sky myself. Mainly making feed.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work" Virgil walked in from outside, holding a gold tray in his right hand with a glass of red wine and a plate of snacks on it. He walked up to me and put the drinks and food on the tray. Jill stood up and adjusted her glasses: "Let's have something to eat"
"Well" In response, I picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the bright red wine. The sweet taste cheered me up: "By the way, Virgil, are Carlu and Wolf here? ?I would like to know the response from the Kingdom of Alabasta to my proposal"
"Yes, it's just that you happened to be entertaining the last group of guests, so they didn't meet immediately. Do you want to see them now?" Virgil nodded: "Then, I will ask them to come in"
The palace on the Lord of the Sky¡¯s back is not small in size. I planned to use it as an aerial fortress and had it specially built early on, so I won¡¯t feel any discomfort even if I am in this palace.
"Ah, it's just like what you said, Kasa" Kalu, who was sitting opposite me, picked his ears carelessly: "The current king of Alabasta - Naferutari Kobra Completely agree with our proposal and have agreed to form an alliance with us"
Wolf, who was still standing by the window next to him, also nodded and added: "We are also willing to fully recognize the legality of all our activities throughout Alabasta. What should we do next?"
"Well" I casually stuffed a piece of snack into my mouth and said vaguely: "Since that's the case, let's go to Alabasta. The Lord of Sand also wants to reminisce with the Lord of the Sky. Well Originally I wanted to take care of the mood of the Alabasta royal family, but now they seem to be really kind"
Saying goodbye, Kalu nonchalantly took out a piece from my snack plate and stuffed it into his mouth: "So, do you really want to make your decision from those original sand gravediggers who live in seclusion in the hinterland of the desert?"
Before I could speak this time, Wolf next to him raised his eyebrows: "No, this is just to erase those rotten things that have affected the progress of future generations. A leader who holds an important position but does not want to make progress and only knows how to ensure peace. , the devil doesn¡¯t need it, and neither do the gravediggers"
"Well, that's it" I put down my wine glass and nodded: "But I am not the direct leader of the gravediggers. We still have to remember the difference between gods and kings clearly. It is they who dig the graves who decide their fate. The king of the gravedigger clan, not me, the god of the gravedigger clan. So this time our trip can be as leisurely as possible This way, when we arrive, we will be greeted by a group of new sand gravediggers. ,or"
"It's a piece of free land"
Alabasta, the royal palace of the kingdom.
Ikarem glanced at Kobra standing on the balcony worriedly, and spoke hesitantly: "King, do you really want to allow those called demons to come to this country?"
Cobra looked at the scenery of Alabasta in the distance and spoke firmly: "Ah, yes! Ikarem! Think about it, that is the devil who holds the power of the golden apple! If they can come , I can have hope of maintaining eternal youth, right?"
Ikarem was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "King, do you really want to use this excuse to make yourself bear all responsibilities in the future?"
Cobra clenched his hands on the balcony railing, and shook his head: "Ikarem, do you think this country can possibly compete with those legendary demons?"
"This is indeed impossible" Despite his unwillingness, Ikarem, who was familiar with his own power, still told the truth: "One Crocodile alone has almost completely subverted this country. , but this time this country has attracted those demons that have always existed only in people's legends kings"
"Even so!" Kobra stood up straight and spoke calmlyHe stood down with a smile on his face: "I have been told to be the ruler of this country since I was a child, so I do my best to protect the people who trust me. Even if the arrival of the devil is unstoppable, at least Let me bear the responsibility of being blamed by future generations Let's just say it's because the greedy king Nafiltari Kobra introduced demons into this country in order to enjoy eternal youth"
The corner of Ikarem's mouth curled up slightly: "King you are really but is this really okay? Are you at ease with Princess Weiwei? That child, like you, will never Just listen to our advice"
Cobra smiled happily: "Yes, that child, like her mother, is a strong woman who is very strong and unwilling to admit defeat. Therefore, she is destined to bear everything in this country after I leave. At that timeIkarem, the child will be entrusted to you"
"I really want to promise you, but" Ikarem held his forehead, smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid Princess Weiwei is more courageous than you think"
Cobra was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the door to the balcony suddenly opened, and Weiwei, wearing a princess dress, walked in. She slightly bent towards Cobra: "I'm sorry, father, I shouldn't have eavesdropped on you and Yi Callem¡¯s talk¡¡±
"Weiwei! Why are you" Sighing, Cobra looked at Weiwei seriously: "Weiwei! Then immediately forget everything you just heard! We just welcome the visit of the emperor of a friendly country. !¡±
"I know! Father!" Nodding, Weiwei raised her head, her tone and eyes were as firm as Cobra's: "But I am the princess of this country! So I have obligations and responsibilities. This country should do its part! Instead of letting my father bear all this alone! And"
Her eyes softened and Weiwei nodded: "Since meeting that group of people, I am no longer afraid of anything. Please forgive me for my willfulness! I must shoulder my share of responsibilities in this country!" "
Cobra was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily: "Yes, Weiwei, you have grown upit's just"
After gently stroking the top of Vivi's head, Cobra sighed: "I've really wronged you this time, does it really not matter?"
"Really?" I looked at Kalu, who looked up at the sky with a half-black face, looking like it had nothing to do with me, and Wolf, who had a calm face: "Can anyone tell me what this is?" mean?"
Renault, who was next to me, didn't care about my depression and spoke in a clear tone: "Duke Wolf and His Royal Highness Carlo have just made it very clear that because of the temporary alliance with Alabasta, it is necessary for us to join forces in another country. To strengthen the reliability of our alliance in some aspects Therefore, the safest way is to marry. In order to show our respect and sincerity, the higher the status of the person on our side, the better."
Kallu coughed nervously and looked around: "Princess Vivi, the jewel in the eye of Cobra, the current king of Alabasta, is also very suitable for marriage. For this reason, the person we want to marry naturally can only yes"
"Ohso" A row of intersections suddenly appeared on my forehead: "You just sold me without my permission, is that true?"
Standing aside with his eyes closed and his hands folded, Wolf nodded: "Your Majesty, please don't be willful This is just a temporary measure. After all, it has to be shown to the whole world Moreover, you seem to have agreed with me before this." The little princess must have been in contact with herIsn't this just right?"
"It's not good at all" I frowned: "I hate this kind of meaningless thing the most. At most, I can only allow you to have a tentative marriage relationship. In the future, I don't want you to deal with things that concern me first. ,do you understand?"
Seeing my reaction, Kalu spread his hands: "However, if we only confirm the relationship between the unmarried couple instead of marrying the princess of Alabasta, the effect of this marriage will be greatly weakened or even meaningless. Everything is fine"
"Oh?" I tilted my head and glanced at Kalu with a sly smile: "So you don't agree with my decision? My dear little prince, maybe letting you change your perspective on the problem will help you. Have you thought this through?"
Seeing the sharp nails that suddenly protruded from my fingers, Kalu shuddered: "Well no need, I feel that I have been very safe in thinking about the problem from a man's point of view Well, since that's the case , we will leave first"
After saying that, the three people except Virgil couldn't wait to leave. It wasn't until they were out of my sight that Kalu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Good guy, I still reject this topic "
"Yeah" Wolf frowned: "It was like this before, heHe directly turned the noble who advised him to get married into a woman, erased his memory and threw it overseas. Now it seems that he still rejects this aspect"
"But no matter what, the king must have his own wife" Kalu shrugged: "It's not like him, the type who doesn't care about this aspect until death"
Glancing sideways at Renault next to him, Carlo poked him unhappily: "I said, buddy, you should say something. What should we do? If we can't persuade Casa to marry the Princess of Alabasta, we and Alabasta will The alliance is completely untenable no matter which aspect you look at Not to mention the covetous guys in the world who will see it, it is estimated that ordinary civilians can understand that our relationship with Alabasta is It was improvised"
Shaking his head, Renault glanced at Kalu: "His Majesty's heart is still open. Rather than saying that he rejects marriage, it is better to say that he rejects those who may enter his world and does not want his thoughts to be known to others. I don¡¯t want my affairs to be known to others We can¡¯t work on it at all, but the relationship between the alliance does not need to be too strong This is enough Duke Wolf"
"Well" Wolf nodded: "Do you want me to negotiate with the King of Alabasta again to explain?"
"That's it" Renault breathed out: "I'm really troubling you"
"It doesn't matterat least" Wolf covered his forehead, seeming to remember something that he couldn't bear to look back on: "It's much better than being affected by His Majesty's bad taste"
