Unspeakable bubbles

"Duke Hayway also advised Bubble not to send out the Bones and the others."

"Your Excellency, both dukes have written to advise you. They are elders and will surely consider things thoroughly. What do you think...?"

"understood"

Isabel tried to persuade him, but Bubble waved his hand and readily agreed.

"..."

"You...you agreed?"

"Yes, it's fine either way, if they don't want to send them, then they don't have to."

Isabel couldn't help but show a happy expression. In her view, the pincer attack from the north and south was now in place, and Chavel was doomed to defeat!

Given this, what she needed to consider was how to win this war perfectly, how to project the majesty of a future queen during the civil war, and how... to make the Yogtis stand out less.

'If you send out an army of skeletons and secure victory with overwhelming force, that would be a real headache.'

As Isabel was pondering this, she noticed the little girl had opened another letter and was reading it intently.

"My lord, this is..."

"Mary hasn't had time to read the letter she wrote to Bubble because she's been attending parties lately."

'Mary? Countess Mary, the one who captivated the heir to the Momedy family?'

The little girl showed great interest in the letter. She read it two or three times and then immediately ordered the maid to bring her paper and pen.

"The contract is fair. If you want to break the contract, find that mermaid again."

Mary asked Bubble for a solution in her letter, and the little girl certainly had one.

But Mary is my friend, and the Little Mermaid is also my friend.

In fact, Afra was much closer to him than he was.

so......

If you have any other ideas, you should talk to Afra yourself.

The little girl thought for a moment and then drew another map by hand.

She put a big X somewhere on the map, and then wrote on the back of the map: "Miss Mermaid is right here, set sail!"

Anne

"exist"

"Send the letter back to Mary."

After the head maid respectfully withdrew, the little girl noticed that Isabel was still standing there and hadn't left.

"Isabel, is there anything else?"

"Well, I have a small request."

"Ok?"

"I really can't get used to living in this Black Castle. Could you please find me another place to stay?"

“Okay, I’ll have Carmen take you to Stone Castle.”

"By the way, I've handed over all the matters on the southern front to Carmen. You can contact him if you have any related questions."

Isabel's eyes lit up: "Lady Carmen? I understand."

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

The princess's face darkened as soon as she returned to her room.

This Marquis of Yog is too presumptuous! Doesn't he know he's the future King of Thane? He's acting all indifferent!

Just by looking at her princess's expression, Jinmian knew what she was thinking. To be fair, she felt that Marquis Yog had treated them quite politely.

"Your Highness, actually..."

"Golden Mask, do you think Carmen can be recruited?"

Not wanting to listen to the golden-faced man's nagging, Isabel asked directly.

"Uh"

Jinmian was stunned; she hadn't expected the princess to be so 'out of the ordinary'.

Carmen is clearly a confidante of the Marquis of Yog. How is she going to recruit her?

"I'm afraid that's difficult."

"It is indeed difficult, but there's no harm in trying."

With her extremely high status, it's quite possible that she would condescend to recruit a young man, even if he were a confidant of the Marquis of Yog.

"Someone's coming."

The man with the golden mask said, "Judging from the footsteps, it's Carmen."

"kindness"

Isabel pondered for a moment, and when Carmen knocked and entered, she immediately said confidently, "Chavier's defeat is inevitable!"

Carmen paused for a moment, then quickly agreed: "Prince Chavel's ascension to the throne was illegitimate, and with attacks from both the north and south, he won't last long."

“In fact, the moment you were rescued by the head of the family, Prince Chavel had already lost.”

"Lord Carmen is indeed discerning; no wonder the Marquis values ​​you so highly."

Unable to figure out what the princess meant, Carmen could only chuckle awkwardly.

"With your exceptional abilities, Lord Carmen, what is your current title?"

"Without a title, I am still a commoner."

"Huh, no title?"

Isabelle felt certain, and her smile became even brighter.

After exchanging a few words with the princess, Carmen finally realized what was going on.

She wanted to win him over emotionally.

Is it really a good idea to recruit her confidants right under the Marquis of Yog's nose?

Carmen thought less highly of Isabel and felt that the king's decision to put her on the throne was incredibly wise.

"Ahem, Your Highness, let's cut to the chase and get down to business."

"Serious business?" Isabel blinked.

“That’s right. Yug has contributed both manpower and effort to your throne, so you should at least show some appreciation.”

Carmen said with a smile, "We've made it clear in black and white that we don't need a verbal promise from Yugling."

"Ah, after the deal is finalized, we'll need Your Highness to put your fingerprint on it, just to be on the safe side."

"you!"

Isabel was furious, but seeing Carmen's calm expression, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Fine, I'll talk to you, but don't go too far with your demands!"

"You can rest assured, we are very sincere."

Section 662, Chapter 661: The Royalists

More than half a month has passed since the Yug territory declared war on Cherwell, and the army that could have sent the usurper to the stake has not even left the south.

Compared to the rapid progress in the north, the south seems to be all talk and no action.

"Lord Carmen, is it really unnecessary to deploy the Boyle family's elite troops in this war?"

Duke William gave Carmen a heads-up: "I can't say for sure, but the Boyle family can certainly field an army of 60,000."

"Your Grace, the Yog territory is only sending 10,000 new troops this time."

Carmen smiled slightly: "This war has never been a matter between our two families. All the nobles in the south should do their part."

"Having said that..."

William pondered for a moment: "But if our two families don't really put in the effort, with our current forces, we're afraid we'll be overwhelmed by the north."

“The head of the family does not want to compete with the North, and his instructions to Carmen are simply ‘just help her out.’”

"Oh?" William was immediately puzzled.

Marquis Yog took the princess by storm at the start, giving him the upper hand. Everyone thought she was about to make a big splash.

However, after the war began, she directly appointed Carmen to lead the southern front, while she herself stayed at home, appearing uninterested.

William was the little girl's close ally, but now he was really confused.

Carmen

William switched to a more intimate form of address: "What exactly do you mean, Your Excellency Marquis?"

What does it mean? It's very simple.

The king thinks Isabel is no good and doesn't really want to help her anymore.

Of course, even with William, Carmen couldn't tell him the truth.

“Your Grace, thanks to the Princess’s arrival in the South, Carmen discovered that there are so many royalists here.”

William felt a chill run down his spine. He glanced at the smiling Carmen, who looked thoughtful.

"Carmen, what are you planning to do?"

"In war, it's perfectly normal for some people to die."

"..."

"Don't worry, Your Grace, Carmen is not a reckless person and will act cautiously."

With Carmen's assurance that she would "act cautiously," William relaxed.

"Phew, it's good to take this opportunity to eliminate internal instability."
