If handing over the Frankish Kingdom was somewhat difficult for Jessibel, handing over the Auston Kingdom would be like a knife to her throat.

She truly loved Rod, respected him, and admired him, even not minding him treating herself or Airo as lovers.

However, no matter how much she loved and respected Rod, she could never place Rod above the kingdom.

Even if Rod was more important than herself, in her heart, the Auston Kingdom was indeed more important than Rod.

The interests of the kingdom were paramount.

"I can't make such a foolish decision, you should know that."

Jessibel took a deep breath, tidied up her disheveled clothes, and sat down on the chair in front of Rod, her expression becoming extraordinarily serious and solemn.

"If you want to take back the Frankish territory, we can renegotiate, but as the King of Auston, I will never betray the Auston Kingdom."

"Knight Rod, or rather, His Majesty Rod, please allow me to solemnly reject your request."

Rod raised his eyebrows, looking at Jessibel in amusement.

It had to be said that a vibrant woman was fun to tease, and a few words could make her explode, which was a kind of amusement.

He propped his cheek with his hand, sized up Jessibel, and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to let me finish? Maybe what I'm about to say is what you want to hear?"

He was planning to annex the Auston Kingdom, so what else could she want to hear?

Jessibel was at a loss for words.

She knew that she, or rather the entire Auston Kingdom, was no match for Rod. Saying she was rejecting Rod was more like begging him.

As long as she could protect the Auston Kingdom, she would do anything.

"Please, Your Majesty Rod, tell me what conditions are needed to spare the Auston Kingdom..." Jessibel couldn't help but feel nervous and uneasy.

If she didn't remember that she was a king, she would probably have collapsed mentally by now.

Rod still had a smile on his lips.

"My plan is to merge the two kingdoms into a brand new kingdom."

Anyway, the two kingdoms were adjacent to each other, and it was not a problem to create a larger kingdom.

In that case, it would be better to directly take over the two kingdoms, anyway, the Auston Kingdom was almost under his protection, and there was not much difference.

"I plan to name it the Red Empire, what do you think of this name?"

He tilted his head and looked at Jessibel with a smile.

At this time, Jessibel's face was full of fear, like a weak lamb stared at by an evil god, looking at him in horror and helplessness.

How could she want the Auston Kingdom to fall into the hands of others, and even completely change its name!

Even the original name would not be left...

Just as she calmed herself, barely managing to open her mouth, intending to reject Rod, she did not expect Rod's next words to stun her.

"It seems you like this name too, very good."

Rod teased her when he saw that she didn't speak.

Then he returned to the topic: "You should also know that I don't have much time to manage the country, even if the two countries merge, everything will be handed over to you."

When conquering the Frankish Kingdom, Jessibel had not thought of taking over the entire Frankish Kingdom.

She only wanted to squeeze out as many benefits as possible, that's all.

But if Rod was willing to truly and completely become her backing, not only the Frankish Kingdom, but even more, she would dare to continue to desire.

Jessibel looked at Rod nervously, almost unable to believe her ears.

Rod looked at her calmly.

Continuing to throw out a bombshell: "If you manage it well and can have my child, then he will be the heir to this country."

Bang!

Jessibel stood up from the chair somewhat excitedly, and the chair behind her immediately fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

According to Rod, that was Rod's child, but also, the bloodline of their Auston royal family!

"I, I..."

She was so excited that she stuttered a little.

Rod looked at her appearance, ignoring Jessibel's excited mood, and continued to speak.

"In addition, it's not like I'm taking your territory for nothing. I also have three territories in my hands, which will be merged into the Red Empire. If the remaining territories are obtained, they will also be the territory of the Red Empire."

Rod said it easily, completely unaware of how much of an impact these words had on Jessibel.

Not to mention conquering more territories through foreign wars, in order to revitalize the Auston Kingdom, she could imagine how she would use all her skills.

But Rod had so much territory in his hands.

"You shouldn't be lying to me..."

Although she already knew how powerful Rod was, because this matter was too unbelievable, to be precise, the impact on her was too great, and she couldn't react for a while.

She was instinctively a little skeptical.

Rod shrugged and used the sandbox to outline several of his territories.

Along with Rod's outlining, Jessibel's expression became more and more shocked. She circled the sandbox several times, then looked up at Rod, then looked at the sandbox, and took several deep breaths to make sure she wouldn't faint from excessive excitement.

"This, this..."

She kept taking deep breaths.

Rod hadn't actively mentioned how large the territory in his hands was before, but now that it appeared on the sandbox in a uniform proportion, Jessibel had a clear understanding.

Such a large-scale territory was not even inferior to a large earl's kingdom!

Sure enough, this guy is a monster!

Maybe he is some kind of super dark creature, a Lord of the Abyss or something.

Jessibel patted her cheeks, completely retracting her wandering thoughts. When people are in excessive shock, their minds either go blank or they start thinking about random things. Jessibel was clearly the latter.

She tried her best to remain calm and carefully considered Rod's words.

Based on the size of the sandbox Rod provided, plus the territories of the Auston Kingdom and the Frank Kingdom combined, the scale of the Red Empire Rod mentioned would probably be comparable to a marquisate.

Although the name had indeed been changed, but—

Her goal was to revitalize the Auston Kingdom. So, even though the kingdom's name had changed, as long as she conceived Rod's child, the final result wouldn't deviate too much.

From another perspective, it could be considered an alternative way to achieve her goal.

Why be hung up on such trivial matters?

Moreover, the most crucial and fatal point was, even if she disagreed, what could she do?

The Auston Kingdom and the Frank Kingdom combined would not be a match for Rod.

She wasn't foolish enough to defy Rod and seek her own death.

"Have you considered it?"

Rod looked at Jessibel calmly and indifferently.

He knew Jessibel would make the best choice.

Jessibel looked at him, her eyes wet, and nodded solemnly: "With such generous conditions, if I still don't agree, then I'm truly ignorant."

She obediently lowered her body, half-kneeling in front of Rod, like a tamed wolf, docilely lowering her head, exposing her slender neck and her fatal vulnerability.

Like a knight waiting for the king's knighting ceremony, showing her loyalty.

The relationship between the two was completely reversed.

Seeing this, Rod reached out and played with Jessibel's smooth skin. Seeing her docile posture unchanged, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Do a good job, don't disappoint me."

"Naturally."

Jessibel looked up at Rod, a sweet smile on her lips, and slowly leaned closer: "Not only will I do a good job with the things you instruct me to do, but I will also do other things."

She slightly parted her lips and leaned down again to please him.

Hiss.

Rod gasped.

It seemed that Jessibel's eloquence had improved a lot. After his training and teaching, coupled with the infusion of knowledge, she could be considered a capable woman.

However, of course, Rod wouldn't give her this position just because Jessibel was capable.

In fact, he was quite optimistic about Jessibel's ability to manage the kingdom.

So far, Jessibel's sensitivity in politics and military affairs, and her ability to manage a country, were the strongest he had ever seen among kings.

For such a person, managing a marquisate would be more than enough.

Chapter 244: Princess and Queen!

After a muffled groan, Jessibel was fed and satisfied.

Anyway, things had already been settled, and Jessibel had gained a lot of benefits from it. Rod naturally wanted to collect some of his reward in advance, so he simply held Jessibel down for a great battle.

In the end, Jessibel could only lie weakly on the ground, a mess beneath her, and fell asleep.

Because there was no order from Jessibel, and because Rod had become the King of Frank, none of the knights dared to act rashly.

It wasn't until the next day that Jessibel announced Rod's decision from the camp.

Now that it had been agreed upon, the next step was to merge the two kingdoms. Fortunately, Rod had completely controlled the Frank Kingdom, and no one dared to challenge him. The Auston Kingdom was also under Jessibel's control. The upper echelons of both countries chose to submit to Rod, so things progressed smoothly.

Most people in the Frank Kingdom were like quails, not daring to offer the slightest opinion, obediently following Rod's instructions completely.

As for the Auston Kingdom, there were indeed one or two people who were dissatisfied, but Jessibel quickly suppressed them with iron-blooded methods.

Everything was progressing rapidly, and in less than three days, the Red Empire was completely established.

"Just call it the Red Kingdom?"

Jessibel sat respectfully in the lower position of Rod, looking up at Rod. She was a smart woman. Now that she had decided to do as Rod said, although she still retained the pride of a queen, she also knew the importance of priorities.

In front of Rod, she did indeed have to obediently lower her head.

Moreover, submitting to Rod didn't mean she had lost. Recalling the future Rod had envisioned for her, Jessibel couldn't control the excitement in her heart.

An empire—

She slightly restrained her excited expression, looking at Rod with worship in her eyes: "Also, regarding the Papal State, do you need me and the Queen of Frank to go and take care of things?"

Establishing a completely new country naturally required the approval of the Papal State, otherwise things would be troublesome.

Rod wasn't even listening to Jessibel's words. He looked at the sandbox in front of him, reaching out and slowly tracing the outlines on the sandbox, frowning slightly.

Now that he had merged the two kingdoms and his scattered territories, in the Southern Continent, he could be considered a huge enemy country that had suddenly risen.

In terms of scale, it could even be said to completely overwhelm some middle-sized marquisates.

But this was far from enough for Rod, not even close to reaching his limit.

Now that he had decided to establish a kingdom, Rod didn't intend to end it like this.

Moreover, at the beginning of the establishment of a new country, regardless of whether the domestic people were willing or not, it would take a long time for them to grind and come into contact before they could completely integrate into the country.

Wanting to speed up this process wouldn't be a particularly difficult thing.

All it would take was a little external stimulus and enemies to allow the originally scattered two groups to quickly unite and integrate together.

Ordinary people might not dare to do this. After all, a newly born kingdom was most prone to turmoil and unrest. Once it really encountered external stimuli, if it wasn't handled properly, it might face a situation of collapse and disintegration.

Unless it was a last resort, otherwise they wouldn't dare to use such methods, let alone plan to expand their territory so quickly.
