"Oh...you mean him? Hehe...Alright, I'll take you to see him." Lu Yi said with a smile.
"Really?" Louise asked in surprise.
"Alright, enough nagging, come with me." With that, he led the way, and Louise quickly followed.

Chapter Eleven: Lu Yi's Ambition
Lu Yi led Louise to the door of a prison and said to her, "Wait outside for a moment. I'll go in and take a look. I'll call you in later, don't rush."
"Okay." Seeing this, Louise had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Lu Yi smiled at her and ignored her, walking into the prison. What Lu Yi saw was quite a sight. At that moment, Cai Ren was being stomped on the ground by Anies, the captain of the Commander's Squad, who had arrived earlier. Seeing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but cover his head and think to himself, "This Cai Ren is getting more and more unruly."
"Hey Cai Ren, you're getting more and more unruly these days. Haven't you had enough of being abused by that female Tyrannosaurus Rex? Want to find something new?" Lu Yi said jokingly as he approached Cai Ren, who was being trampled on the ground.
"Don't call me a dog, and I don't have any masochistic tendencies," Cai Ren said angrily to Lu Yi.
"Isn't your female Tyrannosaurus Rex the one who calls you 'dog dog' all the time?" Lu Yi said with a smile.
"Shut up!" Cai Ren yelled at Lu Yi.
"Oh dear, are you angry?" Lu Yi said with a smile, his eyes narrowing.
"Hmph..." Cai Ren turned his head and snorted coldly, without saying a word.
"Alright, Sebastian and Anies, you two can go out now. Saito and I have something to discuss." Just as Lu Yi was about to provoke Saito, Henrietta spoke up at the opportune moment.
"Yes." He then turned to the concubine and said fiercely, "Next time, no matter how much His Majesty pleads, I will shoot you dead, do you hear me?" After saying that, he walked out of the cell.
"Sebastian, you should go out too," Henrietta said when she saw that Lu Yi hadn't left yet.
"No, I am your familiar. For your safety, I cannot leave your side," Lu Yi said, shaking his head.
"Then why did you leave some time ago?" Henrietta asked.
“I apologize for leaving during that period, but it was unavoidable. If I hadn’t done that, you would still have doubts about me now. Although I haven’t really made you understand yet, time will tell.” Lu Yi said to Anliaita.
“I know you are strong, but no matter how strong one person is, they can’t fight against a country,” Henrietta said.
"No, you're wrong. When one person's strength is great enough, it cannot be compensated by sheer numbers."
"but..."
"Alright, that's enough. You can't understand what I just said right now. I've said it before, time will tell."
"Well... okay."
"Now you talk to this dog about your business. I'll be right here. If he dares to offend you, hehe..."
Upon hearing Lu Yi's words, Cai Ren, who was lying on the ground, broke out in a cold sweat and suppressed his ulterior motives.
"You really are..." Henrietta shook her head with a smile after hearing Lu Yi's words, then walked to Saito's side and said, "Mr. Saito, I want to ask you a favor, and you must agree no matter what."
"Huh??? Oh... Then I wonder what Your Majesty is referring to..." the concubine asked, puzzled.
"That's right. According to the intelligence department's analysis and Dean Osman's words, the people who defeated the Albion army in the last battle were Louise and you. I also know that you are Void Users and Void Familiars 'Gandalf'."
"This...this is..."
"Your strength... Can you lend me your strength? The whole country is now tinged with the colors of war, especially the military, which believes that we cannot miss this opportunity and demands that we take the initiative to attack Albion. The ministers, led by Mazarin, all agree with the military's proposal, but I want to avoid war. So, Mr. Saito, please come and help me with Louise."
"Sigh... Henrietta, you're too naive. War can only be resolved through war. Avoiding it will only make it worse," Lu Yi thought to himself as he listened to Henrietta's sigh.
"Well... Louise said she would do anything for you," the talented man said with a fawning smile.
“I am directly asking you to become one of my few allies.”
"How could it be a minority..."
"The Queen is not very free. Only a small number of people truly understand my feelings and are willing to help me. Can I ask you for a favor?"
"kindness..."
“That’s great, thank you very much. However… for now, on the surface, please continue to stay at the Magic Academy with Louise as before. I want to keep your identities a secret because the enemy is in the country.”
"So, does that mean there are spies?"
“Just hours ago, Cromwell was assassinated in a private room reserved for nobles. Despite the use of multiple magical locks, it must have been someone inside the palace who knew how to break the spell who helped the prisoner.”
"How could such a thing happen..."
“Mr. Cai Ren, as a token of my gratitude for your assistance, please feel free to ask if there is anything you wish for.”
"Huh??? Anything is possible???" Saito exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Henrietta.
“Yes, anything is fine, as long as it’s within my power.” Henrietta smiled at Saito, then added, “Annies, please bring Miss Louise in.”
"Yes." As soon as the words were spoken, the door opened, and Anies and Louise walked in.
“Lou… Louise.” Saito said, looking pale, upon seeing Louise.
“Talent.” Louise walked up to Saito and threw herself into his arms, crying, “Idiot, idiot, Saito, idiot. You made me worry so much, Saito, idiot.”
Seeing that Louise wasn't there to beat him up, Saito breathed a sigh of relief. But seeing Louise crying because she was worried about him made Saito feel both happy and heartbroken. He reached out and stroked Louise's hair to comfort her, and the two hugged each other tightly.
. . . .
"Henrietta, do you really want to avoid war?" Lu Yi asked Henrietta after returning to the palace.
"Yes, I don't want to bring war to the people."
"If that's really what you think, then war is inevitable."
"why?"
"Isn't it easy to understand? The more you don't want to fight, the more you avoid it, the more others will think you're easy to bully and the more they'll want to attack you. That's the most primal desire in human nature, you know?"
"But I really don't want to see war, death, or families torn apart anymore."
"but..."
"But what?"
"There is another way to end this war."
"Really? What method?"
"unified."
"Unification? You mean...?"
"That's right, to unify the entire continent and become the true king of this continent."

Chapter Twelve: Unexpected Information
"By the way, Sebastian, who was that girl you brought back a few days ago?" Early in the morning, after breakfast, Lu Yi and Henrietta went to the main hall. Henrietta sat on the throne, and Lu Yi stood beside her. Henrietta suddenly asked this question. She hadn't given Lu Yi an answer regarding his idea of "unification" that he had proposed a few days earlier. However, Lu Yi wasn't in a hurry. Even if unification couldn't be achieved, he would still strive to make Tristain strong, a superpower that no country could underestimate.
"Oh, you mean Tifania? Come to think of it, you and she are quite close." Lu Yi said with a smile, looking at Henrietta.
"Huh??? What does this have to do with me? What do you mean?" Henrietta asked Lu Yi, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Why don't you call her in and ask her?" Lu Yi said, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.
"You really are..." Henrietta shook her head with a smile, speechless. Lu Yi just smiled at Henrietta's behavior. However, Henrietta still had someone summon Tifania to the main hall.
"Greetings... Your Majesty," Tifania said nervously, kneeling on the ground. Tifania was still wearing the same clothes he had come in, but the hat on his head concealed his face.
“Welcome to our Kingdom of Tristine. I heard from Sebas that your name is Tifania, right?” Henrietta said to Tifania, who was still kneeling.
"Yes...yes."
"Can you take off your hat now? Let me see what you look like."
"This...but..." Upon hearing that Henrietta wanted to see her appearance, Tiffany just clutched her hat tightly and said nervously.
"What's wrong? Is there something you're hiding?"
"this..."
"Let me explain." Seeing Tifania's expression, Lu Yi had no choice but to speak: "Tifania is an elf."
"What? An elf?" Henrietta exclaimed in shock as she looked at the seated Tifania.
“Yes…yes,” Tifania said, taking off her hat.
“It really is an elf,” Henrietta murmured, looking at Tifania’s two pointed ears.
"Well... um, I didn't mean to hide it, but I was indeed afraid, and I really disliked... elves and stuff like that." Tifania said absentmindedly, looking at Henrietta.
“It seems there is a reason. Can you tell me?” Henrietta approached Tifania and said gently.
“Yes, I am a half-elf. My deceased mother was an elf and was a concubine of Grand Duke Albion. She never appeared in public and lived a quiet life, as instructed by her,” Tifania said slowly.
"Grand Duke of Albion?" Henrietta was somewhat puzzled when she heard "Grand Duke of Albion," but then, as if remembering something, she said nothing, but simply came to Tifania's side and said, "I will not despise you just because you are an elf, Tifania, please rest assured. In the Kingdom of Tristine, I will be your support."
"Your Majesty... thank you. I am beyond words with gratitude," Tifania said, looking at Henrietta with emotion.
“No need to be so formal. However, the Grand Duke of Albion you just mentioned, who is your father, should be my uncle if I’m not mistaken. According to this relationship, we should be cousins.”
"Huh??? Cousins?"
“That’s right. We’re sisters from now on,” Henrietta said with a smile.
Lu Yi smiled as he watched them, but did not disturb them, and quietly walked out of the main hall.
"Lord Sebastian, we must annex Albion this time. So please support us. Her Majesty is too merciful. Only you have the chance to persuade her..." Lu Yi had just stepped out of the hall when an old man blocked his way.
"Alright, I agree with your military's opinion. I'll speak to His Majesty about it."
"But sir, this is an emergency! According to the latest intelligence, Albion has prepared an army of 100,000, intending to catch us off guard and launch a surprise attack. If we do not attack now before Albion's army has fully recovered, we will once again face a passive and defensive situation."
"What? What did you say? Albion has completely pacified the country so quickly?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately sensed something was wrong and grabbed the old man by the collar, shouting loudly.
"Yes...yes, it is said that a female consul has appeared in Albion, who has not only reunited the major nobles, but also completely transformed the emotions of the people and soldiers into hatred towards Tristine, and now they regard Tristine as their mortal enemy."
"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner? Old man, stop babbling on and on. Go and prepare, assemble the army. It's too late to say anything now. I'll handle His Majesty's affairs. If anything goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility. Go now."
"Yes..." the old man replied and left.
"Damn it, what's going on? It shouldn't be this fast, damn it!" Lu Yi cursed angrily. Tristin's forces were completely insufficient. Albion's move was too sudden, leaving Lu Yi feeling helpless.
