Li's path

Chapter 238 Confusion and Support

In the reception room of Wangcheng, Olibate and Osborn sat opposite each other.On the coffee table between the two of them was a pot of black tea that Mrs. Hildan had just brewed.

Osborn picked up his teacup, took a sip, and savored it carefully.

"As expected of Her Majesty's favorite black tea, the aroma, temperature, and taste are impeccable. Such a good tea, even if I prefer coffee, I hope to drink it every day."

"Although I feel the same way about this, it's about time to get down to business." Olibate put down the white porcelain cup and looked at Osborne with burning eyes, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Hehe." Seeing Olibat's behavior like this, Osborne was not angry, and said with a smile, "It seems that staying with His Highness in Libel has incomparable meaning. Although when we met before, Your Highness gave me a very soft and smart I didn't expect to be strong now. I think His Majesty will be very pleased."

"Your Excellency, you are as courageous as ever. No, the aura is more oppressive than when you saw it before. Is it because you are not satisfied with the scope of the territory annexed in front of you?" Olibate has indeed grown a lot. He never dared to ridicule the Prime Minister so positively.

"It's really harsh." Osborn was not angry, "However, if possible, I hope you don't use the word annexation, but merger. Because the imperial army has never invaded since the "Hundred Days War." Behavior."

"It is true—although it is only in name. The merged small countries and autonomous prefectures have some problems. Then the problems were intensified, the Jaeger Corps invaded, and the law and order deteriorated extremely. The Imperial Army intervened at the request of the local government in trouble, Such a vague decision to merge, this process is common."

"There is indeed such a commonality." Osborne admitted frankly, "But that is what will inevitably happen in turbulent times. The Imperial Army is only doing its best to deal with it for the sake of the Empire and to achieve stability in the surrounding areas."

"It's really beautifully done." Olibate's words became more and more bitter, "But...the fact that too many "Intelligence Bureau" personnel were sent to the surrounding areas is a bit concerning. And it is still the intensification of local problems. sent before."

"Hehe, I won't ask you how you obtained such information. These are all based on the idea of ​​​​crisis management. It is because of this that our army can solve those incidents."

"In exchange for the resentment of the surrounding area and the danger of terrorist activities. To be honest, I still can't believe that you will visit Libel alone like this. In today's Erebonia, I am afraid you are the most The person who is the target of the terrorist attack." Olibate knew that the "Iron Prime Minister" had thought of everything, but he was still willing to do so.

"I really don't dare to do it, but please don't worry. Thanks to the good subordinates, the countermeasures against terrorist activities are perfect." There is Claire staring at the country in "Railway Gendarmerie", and Rector staring at the country in "Intelligence Bureau". Abroad, it is as difficult as heaven to carry out terrorist attacks.

"Excellent subordinates, such as Rector?" Olibate's eyes flashed.

"Although he is an eccentric person, he is quite capable. From the adjustment of this itinerary to the countermeasures against terrorist attacks, I have taken care of everything. Thanks to him, I can go to Crossbell with peace of mind. I have a plan with Crossbell. Government representatives are holding secret talks, and recently due to the inflow of funds from the Republic, there has been a tendency to be suppressed by the opposition forces. I just want to go once, so let’s take this opportunity to visit together.”

"How, how can it be." Olibate was horrified by this horrific plan, "Now Crossbell is in chaos due to the intervention of various countries! Because it is a buffer zone, it is said that it is becoming a breeding ground for the spread of terror and crime. Although It's an unofficial visit, but the prime minister of the empire wants to step into that kind of place!"

"If you want to put it this way, Your Highness, aren't you the same? You sneaked into the floating city and returned after successfully completing the inspection mission. Compared with that, the visit to Crossbell is nothing more than a trivial matter."

Faced with Osborn's rhetorical question, Olibate was speechless.

"Now, Your Highness is regarded as a hero in this country. Such a Highness rides the famous "White Wings" "El Saiyu" to triumphantly return to the imperial capital, and has no omissions in contact with various parties headed by "Imperial Times". It will be a splendid homecoming just as His Highness expected."

"...Well." All the plans were revealed by the opponent who needed to hide the most, and Olibate's face darkened.

"Please make the most of this opportunity to strengthen your position. Your Highness, I have great expectations of you."

Osborn's smile meant a lot.

————————————————————————————————————————

Outside the meeting room, Li En leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed, his expression gradually calmed down.Celeste has this kind of power, which can calm the mind of those who talk to her.

Yanilas bit her finger, looked at Li En, and then looked up at the ceiling.

Lisha thought for a while, pinched a mark with her left hand, her figure blurred, and melted into the shadows silently.

"Lisha, no need." Li En opened his eyes, looked at Lisha who was about to enter the stealth state, and showed a gentle smile.

Seeing that familiar, never-ending smiling face, Lisha gave up her original plan to eavesdrop.She is such a girl who is wholeheartedly planning for her lover, even if she feels jealous, she will not look at Li En and worry.Because to her, he brought her out of the dark sun, even if a moth flies into the flame, he still has no hesitation.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Li En straightened his back, "Thinking about it, I'm just an asshole. With Lisha, if I'm not satisfied, I'll tease Yani, and if I'm not satisfied, I'll provoke Kolos. You two silly girls are willing to jump into my bowl."

Yanilas smiled heartlessly, a silly girl paired with a big bastard doesn't sound bad.

"Ke Luosi is different from you two silly girls. She is smart and has a lot of worries. It's not that she thinks too much, it's her identity that forces her to think more."

"Not long ago, Her Majesty the Queen talked to me once. Don't put on such an expression. Her Majesty is not a scourge, and she won't eat me. Whether it is from the perspective of the grandmother or the queen, she does not support Kolos. Date with me. With that vision, I can see that I will not give up on you, as a grandmother, how can you want your granddaughter to marry a big carrot?"

"It's just that the granddaughter's happiness is her own after all. The grandmother can't take care of the granddaughter for the rest of her life. If she recognizes it, the grandmother can only recognize it." (The main reason is that Li En is really good in all aspects.)
"However, the grandmother can compromise, but the queen can't. From the standpoint of the queen, there are more things to consider. If the heir to the throne is Duke Dunant, Kolotia is just a pure member of the royal family, and there is still room for maneuver. But since I am the future head of state of a country, marriage cannot be decided by myself to a large extent. If my nationality is Liber, it is not impossible to operate it. After all, the Oselles family is very enlightened, Her Majesty's late husband, and Kolotia's mother is not from a wealthy family."

"The problem is that I'm from the empire. I'm a nobleman, and I'm an adopted son of unknown origin. If I marry Kolos... Tsk tsk, there must be a lot of opposition from the military and political circles of Libel. It's even worse on the empire side, the Schwarzer family Just because I was rejected by the noble circle for adopting me, an adopted son of unknown origin, if I marry Libel's princess again, will I be labeled as an enemy from inside and outside by the guy who doesn't like me?"

"So, if you really want to be with Kolotia, then you have to shut up all parties. And I don't have the ability to settle the relationship between two countries that have always been tense."

"If you don't have the ability to give Ke Luosi happiness, you don't have the qualifications to ask her to do anything. At best, you just hide here to be jealous."

"I don't understand such a complicated question." Yanilas imitated Li En's usual movements and patted his head, "However, the Li En I know will not give up so easily. Didn't you say that as long as Grandpa calls If I don't kill you, won't you let go of my hand? I don't think you will give up on Ke Luosi either."

"Li En, you know that my intuition has always been accurate. I have a hunch that one day, you will shock the entire continent." Lisha held his hand.When she lacked courage, he gave her courage, and now it was her turn to give it back to him.

"I will help." On the other end of the soul link, the voice was clear.
