Chapter 115 Persuasion
"Mr. Anthony is a young hero, both civil and military. His great deeds are widely praised in the province of Edinburgh. Although this king is in the imperial capital, he has long heard of his reputation. When I saw him today, he is indeed a handsome man, with extraordinary heroism."

Inside the large and magnificent palace, Anthony sat opposite a majestic man with slightly gray hair.

The man was of medium build and very handsome.At this moment, he was smiling in admiration, with a gentle attitude, but he couldn't get rid of the powerful power that seemed to be born with him.

This person is the father of Prince Andre and Princess Yalena, His Majesty the King of the Glorious Empire!

The two are currently in His Majesty's royal study, and this meeting is more private, so His Majesty's clothes seem a bit casual.In the palace, apart from an old man in black standing by, no other imperial officials were seen.

The majesty of a country, the daily affairs that need to be dealt with are naturally extremely heavy.Being able to spare time to meet Anthony, a powerless and powerless young man who called himself "Sir" and acted like a corporal, naturally has the relationship between sister and brother Yalina.But more, it is because of Anthony's own outstanding ability and huge potential that no one can ignore.

His age is comparable to the martial arts realm of a golden fighter!

Looking at the records in the history of Oscontinental, it is absolutely rare and extremely rare to have such strength at the age of [-].It is conceivable that in the not-too-distant future, this boy will grow into a top powerhouse who will shake the entire Oscontinent.

Such a genius, and a good relationship with the prince and princess, of course deserves to be treated with courtesy by His Majesty the King.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, the boy is ashamed." Anthony said modestly.

"I can afford it, I can afford it." His Majesty the King laughed.

To be honest, what he just said was not polite.In his heart, Anthony really deserved such praise.

After the politeness, the conversation slowly turned to the topic.

"Sir, Andre has mentioned to me a little bit about the reason for coming here. As the king of the glorious empire, Yalina's father, it is my negligence to protect my people and protect my daughter from being bullied. Until now Instead, let Mr. Anthony, an outsider, worry about her affairs."

There was a hint of helplessness on His Majesty's tired face.

These words sound like the king's self-blame, and also like dissatisfaction with Anthony the dog meddling in the mouse.

Indeed, whether it is public or private, it is not Anthony's turn to intervene in this matter.

Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly.

His Majesty the King has been in charge of state affairs for many years, and it is a basic skill that he has already practiced to show his emotions and anger.Anthony couldn't see what he meant either.

However, no matter what he meant, Anthony still had to say it completely.

"The boy and Princess Yalina have known each other for a long time, so it is right to work hard for your friend's affairs."

"Okay, very good!" His Majesty the King nodded, "Mr. Anthony values ​​love and righteousness, and this king is also very happy that my little girl can make such a good friend as him."

"Since Mr. Anthony has plans to solve the problems of the little women's volleyball team, he must know the situation of the little girl and even my glorious empire very well. I wonder what Mr. Anthony thinks about the predicament we are facing now?"

Anthony was amused.

On the way here, he just asked Prince Andre about this.Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for his father to ask himself this question in turn.

"What is the idea of ​​the Riga Empire, and what they have done in the name of commercial investigations, presumably His Majesty the King and the ministers of the court are very clear. If this matter continues, it will only become more and more unfavorable to the situation of our country. The kid really doesn't understand why the empire made such a choice."

Facing the supreme power controller of the entire empire, Anthony talked eloquently without being stage frightened at all.

"Alas~" His Majesty the King sighed, "Mr. Anthony didn't know something. The situation at the time was very complicated. The king and the court ministers also considered various factors and made this decision after careful consideration. It's a pity... Sigh~ Now that I think about it, I was wrong after all."

Anthony raised his eyebrows, and asked: "Then, I dare to ask, now, is His Majesty the King planning to marry Princess Yalena to Prince Naga?"

The king's face was serious, and he put away all his smiles: "As a father, of course this king is not willing to marry his most cherished daughter to that trash in Riga. But as the king of the glorious empire, this king needs to treat thousands of people and soldiers of the empire. I am responsible for her life. If sacrificing Yalina alone can bring about the peace and tranquility of the empire, this king may not bear the pain to make this difficult decision."

Anthony also said with a straight face: "Does Your Majesty think that the sacrifice of Princess Yalena alone can influence the relationship between the Riga Empire and my glorious empire?"

"At the very least, the relationship between the two countries can be eased, and the pace of the Riga Empire's westward invasion can be postponed. Our glorious empire can use this precious time to accumulate strength and prepare for war. Maybe by then, the Riga Empire will see the bravery of our soldiers, It is unknown whether they will give up attacking our empire instead."

Anthony narrowed his eyes again, quietly looking at His Majesty the King.

As an ordinary subject of the empire, a small lord, facing the supreme ruler of the empire, this behavior seems somewhat rude.

The old man in black quietly raised his head and glanced at Anthony.He lowered his head slowly again, without any unnecessary movements.

Anthony only felt a huge shock in his mind, as if a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in his mind.

This is a master!
One of the most powerful martial arts masters among all the masters Anthony has encountered so far!
If the golden warrior there had had the strength of this old man back then, even if Anthony invited the third prince Nezha to possess him, he would eventually be held hostage by the officialdom.

But Anthony didn't flinch in the slightest. After calming down a little, he ignored the silent warning from the old man in black, looked straight into the king's eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Three years ago, a war suddenly broke out between the Riga Empire and the Holy Empire located in the center of the mainland. The eastern border of the Riga Empire was in dire straits, and more than [-]% of the country's elite troops were dispatched to the east. The war between the Western Front and my glorious empire was over. For a while, a rare period of peace was maintained. Then, the prince of the Riga Empire proposed to marry Her Royal Highness Princess Yalena."

The eyes of His Majesty the King flickered: "I didn't expect Mr. Anthony to be so well-informed."

"My Brilliant Empire is located in the northwest corner of the mainland, and the road to the east is almost completely blocked by the Riga Empire. The people don't know much about things on the mainland. Fortunately, I still have a few friends."

Anthony explained a sentence lightly, and continued: "What your Majesty said just now, the situation was complicated at the time, probably because of this factor?"

"That's right." His Majesty the King nodded.

"Neither agreed to the marriage request of the Riga Empire, nor flatly refused to avoid completely angering the other party. Maintain a superficial short-term peace between the two countries. When the Holy Empire breaks through the Riga people's eastern defense line, it is best to take the entire Riga royal family away. Then I am brilliant The predicament facing the empire can be resolved automatically without a single soldier. The ministers in the court probably came up with this idea, right?"

"Yes."

"But it is a pity that the Riga Empire is far more resilient than we imagined. In other words, the determination of the Holy Empire to fight is far lower than our imagination. So, fortunately, the Riga Empire held the defense of the Eastern Front At the same time, unfortunately, the expectations of the ministers in my court have gone bankrupt."

His Majesty the King sank like water and said nothing.

"The Riga people who have stabilized the Eastern Front can finally mobilize more elite troops to freely attack the enemies that need to be attacked, or potential enemies. In this case, if the Riga Empire thinks they can defeat my glorious empire, they Would you let this opportunity go? Your Majesty will sacrifice Princess Yalena for the sake of the subjects of the empire; will Emperor Riga give up the great opportunity to annex a country for the princess alone?"

The king spoke slowly: "After all, the Riga Empire is still facing strong pressure from the Holy Empire, so it may not be willing to start the war lightly. As long as you don't sweep his face and completely irritate him, it is not impossible to get a period of recuperation."

"It's a pity that time is not on our side now!" Anthony shook his head slowly, "Your Majesty should have read the materials found from the Mountain Shaker League, and Prince Andre from a team of so-called Riga merchants a month ago. The map of the empire seized by the team. Every day that passes, the people of Riga know more about our investigation, and they infiltrate and even win over our various forces more deeply. Seeing that the Riga Empire has gradually eased from the oppression of the Holy Empire After recovering, stretched out sharp claws. And what about us? What war preparations has our glorious empire made in the past two years or so?"

"... Alas~" His Majesty the King was speechless, and could only sigh in return.

Anthony's words were sharp, and he was pressing every step of the way like an army with high morale: "From this point of view, let alone whether the princess's marriage can be exchanged for precious breathing time. Even if everything goes according to your majesty's wishes, this time is probably a time for the enemy country It is more beneficial. Since this is the case, what is the meaning of Princess Yalena's sacrifice?"

His Majesty the King shook his head and sighed again, and the look on his face became even more gloomy.

As Anthony said, His Majesty the King has many eyes and ears, how could he not be aware of it.Regarding the future and destiny of the empire, he also has his own staff and counselors to plan and calculate for him.

Of course, he also has plans and plans that he recognizes. As his son Andre said, "there is only one war", which is also one of the plans.However, the empire missed a few very critical moments. Now that it is fighting the Riga people, is there any chance of winning?
Besides, the upper echelons of the empire are not monolithic, and some of the high-ranking and powerful nobles have one heart with the royal family.

The external situation is critical, and the internal obstacles are numerous.

I am the king of a country, and the rise and fall of the glorious empire depends on myself.Yalena can be rash and naive, and put all her hopes of getting out of trouble on this young man.But could he be so self-willed, relying on his feelings and preferences, to make a desperate gamble with the fate of the glorious empire?
His Majesty the King closed his eyes tiredly, undecided in his mind.
