Chapter 98 The North's Request for Help
My Tyniya, Rose Palace.
Queen Lily Esther is sitting in front of the dressing mirror at this moment, asking several maids to comb her hair and dress her up. This week's Empire Conference will be held in half an hour and she will also appear.
Although many great nobles regarded as the vase queen, the majesty of the royal family is still there because of the assistance of the regent.
"Are you okay?" Lily looked at herself in the mirror, and three gorgeous long skirts with layered red layers set off her figure. Perhaps it was not originally a stunning appearance, but under this graceful outfit, she gradually gave her a luxurious temperament.
Clothes can indeed change a person's spiritual temperament.
Lily stood up with her skirt, a little emotion arose in her heart, then picked up the children on the bed beside her and walked out of the palace with the maids.
The magnificent imperial hall is tall and magnificent. The sunlight shines in through the spliced glass windows, and some dust can be seen floating in the air.
The irregular polygons on these glass windows can easily remind people of the wings of butterflies, and the vine carvings at the edges of the windows are also full of fairy style. As a country co-founded by humans and elves, many of the buildings of Titania still retain the fantastic and magnificent style of the early days.
The heavy and large door was slowly pushed open by the palace knights, and then aristocratic officials in dresses gradually entered the venue.
After they all stood still, the court waiters shouted that soon after two rows of brightly-clad red guards entered the hall, and they stood on both sides to separate the nobles from the middle road.
"His Majesty Queen is here~"
"His Majesty the Regent is here~"
Then the graceful Red Queen entered the hall, and the one who walked with her was Prince Edron in military uniform.
After the two sat on two thrones, the palace officials began to preside over the meeting.
As usual, the officials first informed everyone of the news from all over the world in the hall, and then told their respective proposals and ideas. During this period, some people agreed and opposed them, and both sides would tell their own reasons. If they refused to give in, the queen or the regent would decide.
"His Majesty the Beautiful Queen, His Highness, the Prince, is from the north of the empire, and the distant Cold Leaf Corps."
After Dianyi officially announced the summons, a knight in black iron armor entered the hall. Of course, his weapon was left outside at this time and his helmet was taken down.
"Please get up." After receiving the response, the knight raised his head and showed a square face under his short black hair. He was about 30 years old, with a little beard and still had traces of wind and frost on his face. It seemed that he had gone through a long journey.
After bowing his knees, the knight stood up, first introduced his identity, and then expressed his request.
"Because of the continuous heavy snow in the northern border, the food in the territory is getting less and less, so Lord Tucson sent us south, hoping to get help from the empire."
He said calmly according to the words he had memorized last night, while the two companions beside him were still nervous and lowered their heads.
Not every nobleman has the opportunity to enter here, and it is the first time they have seen so many great nobles. Moreover, the two sitting in the upper head can easily determine their life and death, so it is difficult not to be nervous.
However, in the few seconds of waiting, before the two Majesties could speak, a tall and thin nobleman next to him stood up first.
"I know you're in trouble, but this is the 22nd time this month I've received similar messages and requests."
"The solution to the northern border of the empire is now in preparation, so please come back. If there is progress, we will notify you." The old man in a blue dress is Earl of Deser, a close minister who turned red by Emank in the past, and is also the imperial minister of the court now.
The people in the hall have seen such scenes many times in the past six months. At first, several nobles who care about face would symbolically donate some supplies, but now there are batches of them, and even repeated ones, they are gradually getting colder.
Compassion is not endless, they are tired of hearing these tragic content.
“It’s really boring….”
"Everyone knows about the matter in the north, several batches of aid have been sent."
"We have no good idea, this is a natural disaster."
"For this, I can only wish them to endure it, and now it's not easy for everyone."
A low voice sounded in the hall. After a while, the crisp copper bell in the hall was ringed, and the scene became quiet again.
"I deeply feel the disasters and sufferings in the north. Now the empire is also thinking of ways and will provide some help and support in the future." Edron said the same words as before, and then the Dianyi official next to him stepped forward and began to let the next envoy enter the hall.
"But..." The knight wanted to say something else, but his companions around him pulled him up when they saw the situation, so he stopped his words and obediently retreated.
The knight spoke only after a few people walked out of the hall and came outside the palace.
"Why don't you let me say, do you know what's going on in the territory now?"
"We know, Heterin." The companion beside him spoke, and the others stopped.
"But you are still a little impulsive. If I hadn't been pulling you, I'm afraid you would have been complaining."
The black knight was silent for a while, and then said, "Yes."
"But that will only embarrass the scene. We are already asking for help, so don't offend those big guys anymore."
"I know, I understand, but-" he paused.
"This is the best opportunity at present. If we were asked to purchase food ourselves, that little money would definitely not be enough." He waved his fist, feeling a little resentful, but he didn't know how to vent.
"Forget it, let's find a way for ourselves."
Several people shook their heads and walked out of the palace gate in a little down.
That night, Lily was in the Rose Palace.
After taking a shower, Lily sat in the study. This was once the place where Emank worked. The room was heated by the alchemy array, and even October, she didn't feel cold.
Wearing a loose nightgown, Lily looked at the paper page in her hand. This was the list and information of the envoys who came to the imperial capital recently. In addition to her, there were two maids in the room, one of them was shaking the crib and the other was standing beside Lily.
"The situation in the north has become worse and worse recently." Looking at the report on the page, Lily sighed. She also saw the daytime incident, but did not speak.
"Yes, Your Majesty. But now there is not much surplus in the treasury. If you open another note, more people will ask for it." The maid advised the queen in a reminder way to prevent her from suddenly being kind.
"I understand, alas..." Lily put down the page.
Since the empire's defeat, all income and expenditure have begun to shrink, and some of the great nobles who had been suppressed have also begun to emerge again. Although they are still peaceful on the surface, it is hard to say secretly.
Even her, the queen who is in the deep palace, has heard a lot of news now.
The throne of Emank was wrongly obtained, and the Ainsel brothers were the heirs of the empire's orthodox.
Rather than saying that these nobles care about the legitimacy of the throne, they are more of expressing hatred after their power is deprived. Over the years, Emank's policies have offended many great nobles and made them lose their interests.
The dead prince and brothers were just the banner they jointly launched together, which is the most suitable banner for making a fuss.
