At that time, Gulian and Fielding had already mentally sentenced Shingo Fukai to death, believing that he was out of the game.

However, a dramatic turn of events occurred!

At a critical moment, numerous conglomerates suddenly banded together to support Shingo Fukai.

With their unwavering support, Shingo Fukai ultimately won the election by a narrow margin over Fernand!

There's a lot going on behind the scenes, and the two congressmen still have no idea what's going on.

In short, Shingo Fukai is now a mouthpiece for those conglomerates and has established his own independent faction.

From then on, the father-in-law and son-in-law drifted further and further apart.

Now, they're even somewhat at odds.

"Your Excellency Speaker, what are your plans?"

Shingo Fukai feigned surprise: "Now is the time when the Federation needs to recuperate the most. To interfere rashly... no, to put it bluntly, do we even have the right to interfere?"

"Of course I don't mean to send troops to help the Sien royal family, but if they don't want to send troops, can't I at least give them a heads-up?"

Edward said calmly, "Weren't those spies of Saine trying to find out information about that person the other day?"

"Let's stop hiding it and hand over the most complete information to King Sien!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Gulian: "The two spies you sent to that person's side, now it's time for them to play their part."

"..."

"Unfortunately, there aren't many nails left."

Despite expressing her regret, Gulian had a relaxed expression on her face: "Both of them have betrayed us."

"Treason, betrayal?"

Edward's expression changed: "When did this happen? Why have you never told me?"

"It happened not long ago."

“I was just about to report to you, Speaker, later, but before I could even speak, you asked first.”

"Then we'll send someone to deliver the information to Sain!"

"...This is a bit inappropriate."

Gulian said slowly, "The Federation has always been neutral. By doing this, we are clearly biased towards the Sien royal family."

"The Federation has always remained neutral because neutrality is more beneficial than harmful to the Federation."

"However, we must not remain silent on this matter."

Edward emphasized, "King Thane must have a clear understanding of the danger posed by that little girl; we must not take any chances."

"The longer this drags on, the more out of control the situation will become!"

“Your Excellency Speaker, your words are tantamount to inciting war,” Fielding said, frowning.

"..."

Edward's gaze swept across the faces of the three councilors: "The three of you disagree?"

“If Speaker insists, there’s nothing I can do.” Shingo Fukai shrugged.

“I have no objection,” Gulian said calmly.

Fielding hesitated, as if he had thought of something, then nodded in agreement: "No objection."

"Oh?"

Edward was somewhat surprised, not expecting that all three senators would pass the resolution.

"Then it's settled."

......................................................................

A few days later, Charlie received a stack of documents delivered in the name of the Speaker of the Federal Parliament of Stätter.

"A complete list of tourist attractions in the Federation?"

After carefully flipping through them, he found that there were no hidden papers or anything like that; they were just photos of tourist attractions.

"What do you mean? Are you inviting me to a trip to the Federation?" Charlie asked, puzzled.

This so-called 'top secret information' that was sent all the way from afar with such solemnity... is this all?

'baffling'

He casually tossed the photos aside; Richard the Lionheart was too busy with state affairs to enjoy sightseeing.

Section 600, Chapter 599: It Cannot Be Forced

"Your Majesty, do you have any free time lately?"

"Yes, the move is all done, and Bubble has already graduated, so it's quite empty."

"I see..."

Carmen pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, perhaps it is time to pay a visit to our King."

"king?"

The little girl asked curiously, "Why would you visit him if there's nothing wrong?"

"Haha, you are now the leader of the Southern Alliance, so it's only right and proper that I pay you a visit."

After a pause, Carmen added, "If you don't go to visit, we might end up fighting with the royal family one day."

"what?"

The little girl's braids trembled: "This, is it that serious?"

"Then let's make time to go and see him."

"I'll make the arrangements right away. Oh, Your Majesty, we also need to give King Sien a gift when we meet him."

"A gift?"

"Correct."

Carmen nodded and held up one finger: "Ten percent of the profits from the Gold Trade Route will be given to the royal family every year."

"..."

The little girl looked a bit unhappy: "I'm not friends with the king, so why should I give him a gift?"

"Your Majesty, you may ask for a return gift; we will not give it to him for nothing."

Carmen quickly said, "Then you can ask His Majesty the King for a hereditary marquisate, and he should agree."

"What if he refuses?"

"You won't?"

Carmen smiled and said, "Then let's take back the gift and not give it to that stingy guy."

"That's more like it." The little girl nodded.

"There's one more thing to note..."

Carmen glanced at the black-haired guard who stood silently behind the little girl, his presence barely noticeable.

“Master Agudamu, you may have to stay in the territory this time and cannot accompany the king.”

"If I go, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach an agreement on anything."

Agudamu nodded and explained to the little girl, "I have some grudges with Charlie, and he probably doesn't want to see me at all."

"Agudam, won't you get bored staying in the territory all by yourself?"

Agudamu thought for a moment and honestly said, "It can be a bit boring."

"Carmen, you go ahead and make the arrangements. I'll find something for Agudamu to do."

"As ordered."

Carmen bowed and then left the room.

"My lord, what are your commands?"

"Don't be so serious, Agudamu. Is there anything you like to do?" the little girl asked.

"What he likes to do... is martial arts. Agudamu is obsessed with martial arts."

"Wait a minute."

The little girl asked the maid to bring her paper and pen, and following the memories of the 'Dark Commander,' she quickly wrote down a mental cultivation technique on the paper.

"Agudam, take a look."

The black-haired guard respectfully accepted it, and after glancing at it, he understood what the little girl meant.

"Thank you for your blessing, my lord." Agudam smiled.

"Hehe, if you like it, that's good. Is it useful to you?"

"It's useless"

"..."

"......"

Seeing the two staring at each other, Annie couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Master Agudamu is good in every way, except that he is sometimes a little too straightforward.

"My lord, although Heaven-level cultivation techniques are rare, they are of little reference value to someone of my level."

"Why are you so happy when it's useless?"

“What my Lord gave me has a different meaning.”

Agudamu carefully folded the paper and put it away, looking very happy.

"Hmm, look at this!"
