"That's what he said?"

The voice from the communication crystal was low and slow. When he heard this question, Councillor Danny hurriedly stood up, nodded and nodded in front of him, although in front of him was just a crystal ball with no life characteristics.

"Yes, sir, that young man looks very confident. To be honest, I didn't expect that he would dare..."

"He is playing with fire."

Before Danny finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by the other party.

"Don't he know what kind of development this will bring to the situation? He is provoking the Land of Light! Forget it, it's useless to say this now. What does Lydia mean?"

"His Highness Lydia did not make any decision, but judging from the current situation, Chapter 499 Conflict (vii), she obviously leaned towards the young man's side."

"snort…………"

Hearing the answer from Danny, a sneer was heard in the crystal ball. After a while, it spoke again: "This is also what we expected. I just didn't expect that the little girl Lydia would make such a big decision this time... Very good, Danny, you did a good job. However, since the other party intends to take the initiative to attack, then our plan must also make some changes. Danny, you contact the parliament this time, not just repay the content of the hearing."

"Yes, sir, as I have stated to you before, since the young man has made a move, I think His Highness Lydia will set off to the land of atonement soon in order to cooperate with his move. Although to be honest, I do not think that the other party is really capable of destroying the existence of the Demon Duke, but... after all, this kind of thing is not something I can judge, so I hope that the Council can send someone to help me deal with this matter."

"Oh? Who do you want?"

"Old Sword Saint of Lan."

“………………………………”

This time, the other side of the crystal ball did not have a very good answer. On the contrary, the other party was silent for a long time before he asked again: "Is this necessary? Member Danny, you have to know what your request means. To be honest, I don't think that in the Principality of Mun, besides that little girl, there is anyone else worthy of our dispatch of Lord Sword Saint of Lan. You have to know if the judgment is wrong..."

"Please be honest, sir, I think that young man is not simple. Since he has the courage to provoke the Council of Light in public, and even acts like he is fearless. Judging from the usual behavior of this young man, I think it is unlikely that he is bluffing, and if something happens, it will be more convenient to have the Lord of the Sword Saint of Lan..."

"………………………………………………………………………………… I agree with you. After all, this plan can only succeed but not fail. The young man has already brought us too much trouble. Whether he was unintentional or intentional, he has now become a major obstacle to our plan. This time……… I have to find an opportunity to solve it. As for Lydia’s side…… I don’t think that little girl will completely turn against the parliament for a little noble. Remember, if the little girl wants to do something to you after success, she will immediately make a noise. According to our usual practice……… you understand.”

"I understand, sir."

The magic light of the crystal ball in front of him gradually dimmed. It was not until this time that Congressman Danny wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and then sat back on the comfortable sofa. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the crystal ball in front of him, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Until this time, the guy who looked full of flesh and looked like a pug suddenly showed a fierce expression on his face, which was like a hound squatting and catching prey.

I have to admit that the young man did play well in this trick, but unfortunately, he did not see the boundaries of the Moon royal family. Otherwise, he thought that our Council of Light would dare to make trouble for the Duchy of Muon? Loyalty is a virtue, but foolish loyalty is not. This young man seems to have lofty ambitions and goals, but unfortunately, he chose a wrong partner.

What a pity, such a decisive, brave, and capable young junior is not often seen even in the country of Light. If he was born in the country of Light, he would probably have a very beautiful and bright future. But now, he can only fall here... because this young man will soon realize that reality is not always as beautiful as he imagined.

Reality is indeed not as beautiful as imagined.

Rhode picked up the black tea at hand, and the tempting fragrance came to his nose, but at this moment he was not in the mood to taste it.

"Please be honest, Your Highness Lydia, you should have noticed that this time the Council of Light is coming in full force, not just as simple as expecting to trouble the Principality of Moon."

"I know this very well, Rodqing."

Lydia stretched out her right hand and used a silver knife to nimblely cut a small piece of the cream cake in front of her.

"The arrival of storms often has no precepts. The calmer the waves, the more it implies that there will be storms next. The light council's abacus was clever this time, but unfortunately, they were not without flaws. Just as when people want to blow heavy punches, they always unconsciously condense their strength. This time, the light council's hearings and investigations were too hasty and too simple."

Speaking of this, Lydia smiled gently, and then she put a small piece of cake she had cut into her mouth.

"I think you must have never seen the Council of Light's usual inquiries against me. As long as the mice think they have grasped my slightest handle, they will send people to bring out a thick pile of legal provisions, and then question me one by one. At the same time, asking me to answer this kind of inquiries usually takes at least one day. Of course, the group of mice are also very clear that everything they do is just making trouble, but they are still enjoying it. Do you know why?"

"Because your Highness, you are the Lord of the Duchy of Mun."

After hearing this, Rhodes was not a fool, so he naturally understood the meaning of this.

"As the administrator of a principality, if you are questioned by the Council of Light again and again like a criminal, it will damage the majesty of you and the royal family."

"It is also a symbol of the Council of Light that expresses its power and power to everyone."

Lydia took over what Rhodes didn't finish. When he heard Lydia's words, Rhodes could only shrug his shoulders. Indeed, this is a very frustrating thing. In terms of national strength and wealth, the Duchy of Moon is not worse than the Land of Light. Although there may be a gap in the land area between the two sides. However, strictly defined it, the Land of Light itself is not large. Because the Land of Light was originally a federal country formed by various territories protected by the Dragon Soul of Light. In the early stage, the entire Land of Light

The territory was not even half as big as Mun, but at that time, under the influence of the Dragon of Light, thirteen confederates united to form the original Dragon of Light. After that, the lords who joined the Dragon of Light gradually increased, eventually increasing to twenty-five, which was also the territory of the Dragon of Light. The Duchy of Mun was not sure why. Although they were always loyal to the Dragon of Light, they never joined this country, but had been wandering outside in this unique form.

Originally, both sides were at peace, but since the Dragon of Light delegated all power to the Council of Light, and eventually led to the Council of Light completely seizing power. This "bilateral friendly relationship" has also been declared broken. As the Principality of Mun, who did not join the Kingdom of Light, but followed the Dragon of Light, it was a thorn in the eye for the Council of Light. They have always been afraid that the Council of Mun assisted the Dragon of Light to regain power, so the Council of Light has also thought of many ways to do this. They have spent a long time trying to win over the Principality of Mun to join the Kingdom of Light, because in this way, even if they completely fall under the jurisdiction of the Council of Light, the Council of Light will not be afraid of these guys causing any trouble.

But for some reason, the Duchy of Mun refused the invitation from the Council of Light one after another. This confirmed their speculation. It was obvious that the Duchy of Mun rejected the Council of Light in their opinion, which was uneasy. Since this was the case, the Council of Light did not need to be polite to the Principal of Mun again. They chose to forget that they were uneasy to invite the Principal of Mun to join the Kingdom of Light.

In this way, the Duchy of Mun and the Kingdom of Light began to fall into a strange hostile relationship. On the surface, the two sides were still peaceful, but there were various confrontations in private. The Duchy of Mun will give a large sum of money every year in the name of paying tribute to the Dragon of Light, and the beating of gongs and drums made it known to everyone all the world. The Council of Light was itchy and they have always tried every means to reduce the influence of the Dragon of Light among the people. However, the Principal of Mun has done this once a year, which is like tearing apart the scar that is about to heal and reminding them of the existence of the Dragon of Light with the strongest pain.

What's even more serious is that they can't take this money. Although the land area of ​​the Dragon Kingdom of Light seems to be very large under twenty-five territories, the gap between the rich and the poor is also very strong. Many territories chose to join the Dragon Kingdom of Light to ask for parliamentary assistance, but the money of the Dragon Kingdom of Light is always limited, so many times, they need the money from the Principal of Mun to fill the financial deficit. As a wealthy country, the money provided to the Dragon of Light every year can be enough to support three or five barren territory!

Of course, they had not thought about offsetting the impact. At the beginning, the Council of Light took money in one hand and smeared the Principal of Mun with the other hand, but the Principal of Mun was not Kaizi. Soon, in response, the Principal of Mun reduced the original amount by two-thirds of the following year due to various reasons.

The Council of Light soon suffered. They originally thought that without the money from the Duchy of Mun, the State of Light could also handle this financial deficit. However, when the Duchy of Mun gave the Dragon of Light two-thirds less than the original amount, these officials discovered that this loophole was not something they could fill!!

As a result, two territories encountered major disasters and famines that year, and the money given by the Duchy of Mun was not enough to provide relief, which led to large-scale riots and riots in the two territories. This made the Council of Light frustrated. It took a lot of time and energy to barely calm the other party down, but in this way, funds were needed for reconstruction and cleaning, but the State of Light could no longer make more money. So in desperation, they could only show the good news to the Principal of Mun in the next

During the handover of 2018, the Council of Light held a grand handover ceremony in the name of the Council. This was a secret love for the Duchy of Mun. After that, the Principality of Mun restored the amount of money originally given to the Dragon of Light. In order to prevent the situation from happening again, the Council of Light could not say anything more. It could only pinch its nose and watch the existence of the Dragon of Light show in front of everyone every year. But he did not dare to say a word.

However, the relationship between the two sides did not improve, but instead deteriorated. That grand ceremony was caused by the Council of Light. They were proud to take back the power of human beings from the Creator God. However, the Principal of Mun forced them to bow to a god who had no effect again, which was something that the Council of Light could not tolerate. The Principal of Mun did not relax the oppression of the Council of Light. After that, they would hold a grand handover ceremony every year to clearly tell the people of the people of the Kingdom of Light that without the money given by the Dragon of Light, you are so poor that you can't even support your own family!

The relationship between the two sides is getting worse and worse. It is almost impossible to break up and announce the war.

But it seems that this day is not far away now.

While recalling the past events found in the forum and game history in his mind, Rhode sighed, then he raised his head and looked at Lydia with a serious and solemn expression.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for taking the liberty. I have a question and I have always hoped to ask you for the answer."

"You are asking why the Duchy of Moon, as the direct subordinate of the Dragon of Light, sat there and watched it lose its power, but remained indifferent?"

“………………………………”

Faced with Lydia's smile, Rhode did not answer, but just nodded. Although the players guessed a lot on the forum, some of them should even be the truth. But he still hoped to hear the other party's answer from the mouth of His Highness the Lord. Although he no longer had this opportunity in the game, now he has another chance.

Lydia smiled and looked at Rhode. There was no shadow in her eyes, as bright as the June sunshine. But for some reason, Rhode always felt that her smile seemed a little sad.

"Rodqing, the vine will climb upwards with the trees, because it has the will to yearn for the sun, long for warmth and glory, and for this it even kills the trees. But for the snowy flower that is lodged on the ground, no matter how hard you try, it cannot make it bloom at the top of the tall tree, because it itself does not support its upwards."

“…………………You mean……………”

Hearing this, Rhodes' expression moved slightly. Although Lydia said it was very obscure, Rhodes thought he had understood what the other party wanted to express.

"That's right."

Taking Rhode's expression in his eyes, Lydia smiled slightly, then she reached out and poured a cup of fragrant black tea into Rhode's teacup, then gracefully picked up two pieces of white sugar and put it in it.

"But the Duchy of Moon is not just at mercy. The strong wind may overwhelm the trees for a moment, but in the end it will still straighten up again, isn't it?"

"But it is also possible that you will be blown down by the strong wind like this, right? Your Highness?"

"Of course, Rodqing."

Rhode's rebuttal did not make Lydia show any unhappiness. Instead, she smiled and stared at the young man in front of her, like a playful girl who was proud of the prank.

"But how can it destroy one of the trees when the rolling forest blocks the wind?"

“……………………I think, I understand what you mean.”

Rhode smiled bitterly, and then picked up the teacup with two pieces of sugar. The black tea was so sweet that it made people feel tired, but Rhode still drank it calmly. Of course he knew why Lydia did this. After all, as a little baron, he was really rude to the questioning of His Royal Highness before. This is also much better for Lydia to become a little punishment for herself than to sternly drink it.

"But your Highness, once someone enters the forest and cuts down trees, it won't take too long and the strong wind will sweep over again."

“So I need brave and intelligent rangers to help me drive out these bad invaders.”

“Just just expulsion?”

“If they do too much, I don’t mind………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Speaking of this, Lydia paused slightly, then she stood up, walked to the window, looked at the back of the girl, and soon, Rhode heard Lydia's crisp voice sound again.

"Luo Deqing, as the president of the Mercenary Guild, you must have faced the bandits who harassed the villages and towns."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"So, what should you do if you want to completely ensure that the village is no longer attacked by bandits? Just build a solid line of defense in the village and repel the opponent's attacks again and again, are you looking forward to those people retreating?"

"Of course this is impossible. Your Highness…………I will do it once and for all, to find the bandits’ lairs and catch them all in one go."

"What I said is right."

Lydia turned around.

The dazzling sunlight shone in from behind her, and the shadows enveloped Lydia's face. Rhode could not see her expression, but could hear her voice.

"The thieves are still patient, but if the thief comes, it's a different matter."!!!
