What's wrong with a lord daddy who just wants to draw cards?

Chapter 215-214- Award Ceremony, Cross of Gallantry

To be said to be the busiest during the war, in addition to frontline soldiers and a group of people in charge of finance, it was the Intelligence Department.

Piles of intelligence documents are sent through various channels every day, and they are sorted out, reviewed and transferred here. Duomi is also very busy these days, and even wants to destroy them. Whoever the intelligence minister likes will come.

However, considering the convenience brought by this identity, we can only keep it alive for now.

I thought I would have to work hard for a long time, but I didn't expect that just three months later, the six countries of the Central Plains sent representatives to start peace talks with the empire.

They are probably also gambling, using their exposed ambitions to bet that the empire will suffer financial difficulties and frequent rebellions due to their seamless intervention, and in the end they will reap the benefits.

In fact, they were already half successful. If Domi and Schlieffen had not proposed plans to help the empire make money at that time, and Simon Bolivar had not successfully intercepted border threats and reorganized border defenses, the empire's army would have faced an unparalleled dilemma. The collapse of the empire is not far away either.

Unfortunately, there are always people who come forward when the building is dying.

The peace talks ended three days later. The six countries symbolically compensated the Empire for some of its military expenses and recognized the legality of the land currently occupied by the Empire. The Empire also symbolically declared friendship with the six countries and signed a ten-year non-aggression treaty. …

The war is over.

When the news spread from the Ministry of Intelligence to the entire empire, people all over the country rushed to tell each other. The ordinary people who had been suppressed for an unknown period of time had been waiting for this day for too long.

They can't remember how long it has been since they went to the opera house and various entertainment venues. They live in a tight life and have to break a potato in half to eat, half for lunch and half for dinner...

But now these dark days are finally coming to an end!
Soldiers returned to the country from the front, retired from service when needed, repaired when needed, and a large number of laborers returned to the market, injecting a dose of vigorous vitality into it.

The soldiers who still came back alive did not have any dryness in their pockets, they only had a small amount of money for them to walk around with.

Various policies temporarily issued during the war were changed one by one. Of course, except for the official establishment of salt and iron, taxes were reduced again...

Two days later, when Duomi walked down the street, he could see almost everyone with a smile on their face, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"The war is over, it's time for me to go back." Domi thought as he strolled.

At this moment, the sound of galloping horses suddenly came from behind, and then stopped next to Domi. The knight above opened a white-gold scroll:
"Lord Dominic Blofeld, His Majesty has decreed that you please go to the throne room immediately to attend the investiture ceremony."

Duomi was a little confused: "Isn't it agreed that the awarding ceremony will be held next week? Why is it brought forward?"

The knight lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty did not explain the reason, please forgive me."

"I see, go back right away."

When the knight left quickly, the passers-by realized that this man who looked like a rich kid was actually the legendary Dominic.

In his speech after the war, His Majesty the Emperor particularly emphasized the policies proposed by Domi and his indelible contributions to border defense and intelligence. Even the newly established War Ignorance Bureau was mentioned, which can be said to be glorious.

However, the ancestor of the Zhan Hu Bureau is Duomi, so this 'light' is naturally added to Duomi's head.

He is simply radiant at this moment!
But the passers-by did not worship him as enthusiastically as the little fangirls in Kaliya Academy who turned from pink to black and then to pink. At most, they just admired him with complicated eyes and stayed away.Duomi also understood that after all, what he was doing was not the fundamental interests of these people.

He no longer continued to be a conspicuous person here, and quickly returned to the palace. In front of the gate between the thrones, he met his old father Carlos, who had come all the way here, and Argyle and Argyle, who had come from the academy to witness this moment. Edward, even Grasa came from home.

"Domi, you did such a big thing without saying a word. You are worthy of being my brother, hahahahaha!"

Edward, who grew up in such an environment as the Blofeld family, was not jealous of Domi's achievements at all, but was proud of it. The same was true for Argyle, not to mention Carlos and Gresa as parents. .

The old mother whom she hadn't seen for a few days gently hugged Duomi and said, "Son, I'm proud of you."

Duomi cherishes the feeling of being praised by his parents. He never had the opportunity in his previous life, but now he naturally regards it as a treasure.

Carlos didn't say anything, but his eyes said everything: "Let's go in together, I'll be waiting for you."

The heavily armed guards slowly pushed the door between the thrones to both sides, and followed the red carpet to the emperor of the empire.

The lion-like emperor wears luxurious robes and a crown. He holds a scepter in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand. He points the tip of the sword on Duomi's shoulder:
"Dominique, the third son of the Blofeld family, there is no need to elaborate on your meritorious service in the defense of the Empire. The God of Glory has sent down the glory that belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven to you. The Empire is also grateful for your contribution and hereby awards you the Cross of Gallantry. …”

After saying that, the sword passed over his head and was placed from one shoulder to the other. Then Domi stood up, and Emperor Burton N. Augustus personally pinned the medal in front of Domi's left chest.

The old emperor looked pleased: "Congratulations, you have become the youngest person in the history of the empire to receive this medal."

The Cross of Gallantry is awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to the Empire.

[It was detected that the attributes have changed due to special enchanted items: mental strength 71.5 → 72.5 (+1, original +3, the effect was reduced because the attributes were higher than the threshold)]

[This enchanted item can peel off the enchantment effect and its attributes will be permanently increased. 】

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Well, the days ahead are still long, so we must not slack off and keep up the good work!"

At this time, Duomi was face to face with the emperor, the distance was very close, and some whispers could only be said at this time.

"Protect Sia, and I'll leave her to you."

The voice was very soft. Even if others saw the emperor's lips moving, they would not be able to hear what he was saying. Moreover, this perspective was not complete, and even if they could lip read, it would be difficult to translate.

Duomi glanced at Xia who was standing aside with his peripheral vision, and retreated with a trace of doubt. Before retreating, he made a spur-of-the-moment idea and scanned the old emperor with the analysis panel. The result he gave directly cleared up his doubts. solve.

[Burton N. Augustus...Age: 46...Condition: Weak, sick. 】

Coupled with the last words he said, a terrible and immature thought emerged in Domi's mind - the emperor in his prime was about to die! ?
