.    Can you tell me about your grandparents?  "I saw a word of silence.

    "Uhthey"

    "What happened to them?"

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s in a very far away place.¡±

    "Is it in another world? Like my grandfather. That's what my mother and sister always told me in the past."

    "Yes." He smiled reluctantly and nodded: "Like my grandfather."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    A week after returning to Weeping Willow City, news came from the Pope of Lana that Duke Cizer had led his army to arrive at Lana City.  The election of the Pope of Rana on the Holy Mountain of Rana City is still pending, and the Holy See only sends requests for assistance to surrounding countries in the name of the Council of Cardinals.  In fact, before the request for assistance was sent out, the Duke of the Two-Handed Snake had already sent troops on the way to the territory of Pope Lana.  The Duke of Snake-Hands had a feud with the Bercia family. This was something that happened during the time of Pope Alexander VI. Now Alexander VI is dead.  How could the Snake-Handed Duke give Duke Cizer of the Berzia family another chance to control Lana City?

    And just when the Winged Lion City-State and the Lion Duke were hesitating.

    ?Following this, another even more shocking news was placed on my desk - the Atlas Sea Knights and the Winged Lion City-State were at odds.  The cause was that the Winged Lion City-State seized a fleet of the Atlas Sea Knights. The fleet that was originally going to sail directly to the Principality of Mes encountered some troubles and had to rest at the southern port of the Winged Lion City-State, transporting ships.  The goods were textile raw materials shipped from the Muland Empire. The Maritime Administration of the Winged Lion City State believed that the Atlas Sea Knights had exceeded the authority granted to them by the city-state republic government and greatly harmed the interests of the local merchants of the Winged Lion City State.  .  To put it bluntly, it means that the Atlas Sea Knights are a smuggling group.

    ??Actually, they are right.  The Atlas Sea Knights have been conducting smuggling activities through various channels.  immediately.  Before the two parties could start communicating to resolve the matter.  The Atlas Sea Knights also seized the fleet and processing goods transported by the Winged Lion City-State to the west coast of the southern continent in retaliation.  Immediately afterwards, a small-scale naval battle broke out between the Atlas Sea Knights and the armed merchant ships of the Winged Lion City-State off the coast of Gaza Port, southwest of the holy city of Bains.  In fact, the two armed merchant fleets had just left the port after transporting supplies to their employers, the Three Lions Kingdom and the Three Lily Kingdom Crusaders who occupied Gaza Port.

    The civil war in the Mutu Empire made it impossible for Haji IX to send out a large army to recapture the strategic military town of Gaza Port occupied by the Crusaders.  The coalition forces of the Three Lily Kingdom and the Three Lions Kingdom did not immediately march towards Bains City after occupying Gaza Port.  Instead, stick to that military town.  Constantly exchange the Mutu people there for gold and materials.  Although Haji IX was busy seizing the throne of the Mutu Empire and had no time to pay attention to the Three Lions and Three Lily coalition forces.  But now there is no doubt that the conflict between the Winged Lion City State and the Atlas Sea Knights has somewhat alleviated the pressure on the Nanmutu Empire.

    And the Rana Holy See.  At this time, there is no time to care about what is happening in the East.  One month later.  The army of the Duke of Snakes was defeated by the army of the Bezia family of Duke Cizer in a decisive battle forty kilometers west of Lana City.  Then the Berzias captured the city of Lana.  Completely eradicate the two major families of Orsini and Crona in Lana City.  Except for the city of Kerry, the land of the Silver Pearl family in the east.  Duke Cizer of the Bercia family has become the actual overlord of the Lana Pope territory.

    And the Rana Holy See has just elected the new Pope Pius III.  It took less than a month for Pope Rana to be elected.  That is, he died of leg ulcer.  This is stated in the official document of the Shibao Cultural Affairs Bureau.  But in informal documents.  The Stone Castle Cultural Office particularly emphasized that the day where the new Pope Pius III died happened to be the day when the Bercia family captured the city of Lana.  then.  Having just finished its work on the papal election, the Council of Cardinals had to start working on the election of the Pope in Rana.

    And at the same time.  Even in Weeping Willow City, I was so busy that I felt dizzy.  I can only ask the Imperial Government¡¯s Minister of Foreign Affairs to receive the Ding Dynasty envoys on my behalf.  The chaos in the south doesn't mean I can stand aside with my hands crossed and watch the excitement.  It was not just the imperial government during this period.  Even the Imperial Religious Council, which usually doesn't look for me, keeps sending people.  I hope that the imperial government and I can make some response to what is happening in the south in the name of the empire.  Especially in response to Duke Cizer's recent actions.

    They don¡¯t want me to attack Duke Cizer of the Bercia family.  But he hopes that the Holy Rana Empire government can also give him support.  Because of the news coming back from Lana City.  After capturing Lana City, Cesare tried his best to support the religious reformists in Lana City in carrying out religious reforms.  The Imperial Religious Council hopes to increase the influence of the reformists in the papal territory of Lannes by supporting the Duke of Cizer.

    ??To be honest, even I think this place is indeed an opportunity for the Imperial Religious Council. If we can increase the influence of the reformists in the Lanan Church,This will be of great benefit to the Holy Rana Empire in exporting religious reform ideas to other countries.  But in fact, the rise of Duke Cizer and the Bercia family was contrary to the political and diplomatic interests of the Holy Lannes Empire.

    As for Velushi, she hopes that I can use some non-military means to deal with Caesar who supports the reformists from the standpoint of the political and commercial interests of the Holy Lana Empire.

    and the Winged Lion City-state to suppress, and suppressing Duke Cizer at this time will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the Imperial Religious Council.

    Faced with the dilemma, I had no choice but to leave this matter to the imperial government.  After a week of discussion, the imperial government threw the matter to the Imperial Council of Nobles.  The Imperial Council was surprisingly efficient this time. It only took them two days of quarreling to pass a resolution to prepare for a war against the Nanmutu Empire.

    Yes, a decision that has nothing to do with the muddy water in the south.  They used this resolution to avoid the question of which side to suppress, and at the same time to avoid the embarrassment of not helping anyone. When someone raised this issue, they directly dismissed it on the grounds that the Holy War was not over yet and the empire needed to prepare to recover the Holy City.  A completely bad method, a method purely for waiting, waiting for the south to compete first.  But since it has been passed, it saves me the trouble of the Imperial Religious Council.

    So another strange phenomenon occurred. The Imperial Religious Council began to raise funds from Orthodox churches across the empire to aid the religious reformists under the leadership of the Lana Church.  On the other hand, Velushi transferred the funds of the Atlas Sea Knights to the Stone Castle Cultural Office through me for the subversive activities of the Vultures in Lana City and the Winged Lion City-State.  The imperial government began to put forward plans for the Eastern Expedition.

    Of course, this situation is not without gains for the imperial government. It at least provides the imperial government with a special case.  That is, even two countries with similar values ??in the Western Continent may not necessarily have consistent interests, and may more likely have conflicts of interest.  In terms of national business and cultural habits, the current Holy Lana Empire and the Winged Lion City-State can be said to be the most similar countries.  However, looking at our relationship with the Winged Lion City-State for more than ten years, we have been close to each other at the beginning and gradually drifted away. As the Gotun people became more and more civilized, the Winged Lion City-State became more and more hostile to the Holy Lana Empire.  Countries with which it shares more languages.

    "If His Majesty the Emperor were still alive, I don't know how he would feel now." He put the cup in his hand on the coffee table and said to Li, who frequently cast his eyes on Baroness Haoling.

    When I returned from the expedition, I didn¡¯t expect that the original joke had come true.

    Kailo's two teachers, Loren, the chief minister of state of the Holy Lana Empire, and Baroness Haolingquan are engaged. Although the two have not lived together according to Gordon's tradition, they have become attracted to each other as soon as they met.  To convey feelings, likewell, I don't know if they are inseparable in private.  I can only judge the intensity of their relationship based on what Dame Hao Ling is wearing - I haven't seen Dame Hao Ling wearing something similar to a nun's robe since I came back. She is now wearing a lady's skirt.  I had a great time chatting with L'Oreal and the others.

    Everyone is very satisfied with the marriage facilitated by L'Oreal. The eldest daughter of the late Earl Greyhound is finally ready to get married, and her future husband is single and is expected to become the second chancellor of the empire.  The only person who is dissatisfied with the union of these two people is probably my son. I believe that boy's life has been difficult since Li and Dame Haoling started dating.

    "His Majesty the Emperor has an era that belongs to him. This is an era that belongs to you, Your Highness. Perhaps in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will sigh like you. Uh, Your Highness" As he said that, Li pointed behind me: "He Ding Chao  Is that Bai Yuan the envoy was talking to?"

    He looked back and said, "Haha, yes."

    "Well, I haven't seen him for a while, and I heard that he made a lot of money recently. I looked at the list of goods that were going to be given to the people of Ding Dynasty, and I roughly calculated that Bai Yuan just made a lot of money from this.  It¡¯s enough for him to live a life without worries. It¡¯s really enviable, I¡¯m still living on the salary of the imperial government.¡±

    "Are you going to resign from me too? Let me think about what you can do. You can count dock cargo orders, you can cheat, and then be chased by gangsters. I can't think of anything else. And I'm not sure about you.  Have you forgotten those two skills for making a living? Haha"

    "Look, Your Highness" Li smiled and got closer.  "For the sake of me being with you for so many years"

    "Well, I will let you continue to stay with me. Anyway, the dowry from the Greyhound family will not be reduced. Dame Hao Ling inherited the title and property of her mother's family. I said you really know how to plan.  This is much more cost-effective than marrying the other daughters of the old Earl Greyhound."

    "Your Highness, Your Highness, keep your voice down, keep your voice down. You can't joke about this." Li quickly made a silent gesture towards me while nervouslyLooking towards Dame Haoling not far behind her.  "Her emotions are very sensitive, with ups and downs, just like a little girl."

    "Uhit seems like you shouldn't tell me this. Butit seems like you are ready to be a good husband."

    "Well" After listening to my words, Li smiled and nodded: "After teaching His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for three years, I think she and I are qualified enough to educate a child."

    ?? Stretched, then leaned back in the chair, and replied casually: "I hope that child will not be like his father or his mother."

    Li: "" (To be continued,)
