Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

It was noon at this time, and due to the recent bad weather, the roads were muddy, so Letania's attack was hindered and the offensive was temporarily suspended.

At the same time, the heavy rain has also brought extremely strong logistical pressure to Kazdel's side. At least the current situation is not optimistic, and there are still a large number of wounded waiting for treatment.

"Kelsey, why are you here?"

Theresa, who was repairing her weapons, was instantly overjoyed when she saw her only good friend coming to see her.

But why is Kal'tsit wearing a Victorian-style maid outfit?

Is there any other situation?

"My noble master wants to help Kazdel overcome this difficulty. At the same time, the Speaker also plans to provide a batch of food to help Kazdel overcome the current domestic resource shortage..."

Theresa didn't seem particularly happy after hearing this, but only sighed.

"I know, the price of this food must be very expensive. Currently, other countries don't want to trade with us at all because they don't want to be hostile to Letania. The price of food in Victoria is too high..."

"No, Your Highness, this batch of food was donated in the name of Lord Speaker Victoria. The nobleman I serve has a good relationship with the Speaker, so he undertook the transportation mission."

Kal'tsit delivered another powerful blow, "Mr. Speaker, what you mean is that this batch of food will be distributed free of charge. Not a single gold coin or copper coin is required."

"But when they are distributed, it must be noted that this is a gift from the Speaker of Victoria."

When Theresa heard it was free, she instantly became energetic and grabbed Kal'tsit's hand.

"Really? Is it really free?"

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true, and this is also due to Ms. Lamaren's contribution."

After all, the Speaker's wife is a banshee, which is almost known to everyone in Kazdel and Victoria.

And he seems to have a very good relationship with Ramalen. Maybe he couldn't bear to see his compatriots suffer, so he persuaded his men to help the Sarkaz who were struggling on the verge of extinction.

Anyway, whether Theresa believed it or not, she believed it when Kal'tsit gave this reason.

He also attributed the credit to the "nobles" he served.

Sure enough, the next second Theresa believed it without a doubt, because she believed in Kal'tsit and believed that there really was such a thing as true love in this world.

"Your Highness, I must remind you that although this rescue was done out of kindness, I cannot help but suspect that the Speaker has no strange plans."

"Even though he has a very close relationship with Miss Lamaren, we still have to be on guard."

It's more than just tight, it's too tight.

There is no one around His Highness who is trustworthy now.

Even several royal courts showed signs of rebellion. After all, they all regarded Master Huang as the one who could change Kazdel.

As long as you have a bottom line, the rest will be easy.

Listening to her own Kel'tsit's warning, Theresa patiently comforted her, "I understand. I'm no longer the little girl who only cared about ideals decades ago. I understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch."

Kal'tsit nodded, delivered Huang Cao's letter, and drove away without staying for a moment.

She had to continue following that guy to see what was in the gourd.

……

I really want to meet the Speaker of Victoria...

Late at night, Theresa carefully read the letter that Huang Cao handed to her. No, it should be the letter from Speaker Victoria, whose name was unknown.

The letter expressed appreciation for everything Theresa had done so far, but it was only praise and no other suggestions.

However, in the eyes of this pink-haired cat, this was an act of not interfering with Kazdel's sovereignty, which pleased her very much.

Especially as the Speaker, he seemed to use a tone of watching his own growth to talk about his policies over the years.

Theresa lowered her head in thought. "I've been dealing with the Speaker for decades, and yet I haven't even met him in person."

This is undoubtedly a pity. When can I meet with the Speaker?

Perhaps the war had caused the Demon King's mind to wander, and she suddenly thought of what Kal'tsit had said to her many years ago.

If all it takes for Your Highness to sacrifice your body is to free the country from hunger, would you be willing to do it?

At that time, Theresa chose to refuse because she simply didn't believe that there were such good people in the world.

But now, her thoughts have changed a little.

Because the food sent in the letter is not a small amount, equivalent to 60% of Kazdel's total annual food supply, and more importantly, it is free.

Humanitarianism...

Theresa thought about it over and over again, but she had no idea what the Speaker wanted to get from her. It was a deal that would make absolutely no profit.

She couldn't think of doing anything purely to do good.

"If the Speaker's wife is..."

Theresa kept speculating the worst about the Speaker in her heart, and suddenly, this idea popped up in her mind.

If I were the Speaker's wife, would Kazdel...

Theresa slapped herself with a slap, and her delicate face turned red instantly.

"Theresa, are you crazy?"

She asked herself in her heart, was she a little too shameless?

Treating others as tools to enrich your country is an act of disrespecting others, and now you are even trying to steal someone else's husband.

If Victoria's Speaker really has good intentions, wouldn't it be too much for me to be so suspicious?

"It's so shameless!"

It turns out that I have been under too much pressure recently, and I actually had such strange thoughts.

Theresa took a deep breath, trying to suppress her complicated emotions while throwing all the thoughts out of her head.

Hugging his knees and thinking for a while, the demon king decided to prepare a gift in return.

It is impossible to pay the money, considering the current situation in the country.

Theresa felt that it would be unrealistic for her to bite the bullet and buy the aid food for the sake of so-called dignity.

At least after the purchase, his own people will have to live in poverty again.

So she decided to embroider the best piece of clothing she had ever made as a gift to the other person.

A small gift but a big thought is always better than giving nothing.

At least we should let the Speaker know how grateful we are.

At the same time, it is also for future cooperation. Kazdel’s current situation is inseparable from the Speaker.

182

Chapter 182 Why can’t His Highness join us?

"Why is Kal'tsit here?"

The sound of the jeep was very harsh in the silent military camp.

Especially for a banshee who is extremely sensitive to sounds, at least Ramalen, who serves as a reconnaissance scout in the military camp, it is impossible for her to ignore this sound.

Although Kazdel has developed rapidly in recent years, jeeps are still a novelty in this country.

Noticing something unusual, she immediately found His Highness.

Theresa told her best friend the Speaker's decision.

Hearing the kindness of the "Speaker", Ramalen felt touched.

Acao probably decided to do this because he couldn't bear to see himself sad.

For Kazdel, this war was not only devastating, but it also took him back several decades.

Unlike the wealthy and powerful Letania, this country cannot withstand the slightest setback.

It would be great if Cao could live in peace with Theresa... but unfortunately, that's impossible.

Ramalen looked at her happy best friend in front of her, and a feeling of helplessness welled up in her heart.

If Akatsuki wanted the position of Demon King and could truly lead Kazdel to a better future, Her Highness would give up the position without hesitation, because she didn't care anyway.

But the problem is that Acao will never do a business that loses money, and in the future he will definitely use Kazdel to conquer other countries.

You can't just spend money to support this burden just because of a momentary hobby.

Theresa doesn't want anyone to take advantage of the Sarkaz, even though both of their goals are to bring the world to a consensus and end wars.

However, Huang Cao believed that with the current moral level on Terra, it was impossible to achieve unification in a peaceful way. He decided to speed up the pace and use his own power to promote unification.

Theresa placed her hopes for peace in all of Terra on her own ideals, attempting to resolve conflicts between races in a more gentle way, that is, without resorting to violence.

This is why the two will definitely fight in the end. This is not a problem of the position of the devil, but a problem of the concepts of both sides.

So there is basically no room for compromise between the two sides, and this is even more of a multiple-choice question for Lamaren.

You can't be so shameless as to ask your man to set aside a sum of money specifically to support the country.

As for leaving it alone, it is even more impossible, because the two people's style of doing things determines that if left alone in the future, a big war will definitely happen.

There is no room for a peaceful solution at all, so it is better to resolve it now rather than causing more problems later. That is why Huang Cao decided to use the civil war between the brother and sister as the boundary.

"Lamaren, I feel like I'm not pure anymore. A lot of weird thoughts are popping up in my head."

When her best friend was about to leave, Theresa suddenly called her.

It's really hard to have no one to talk to.

So Theresa spoke out everything she had just thought, including the sudden thought that the Speaker was... herself...

"You say I'm particularly shameless, setting my sights on someone else's husband. But both my teacher and Kal'tsit have taught me to think about interests from a broader perspective, and not to think of relations between countries as relations between people."

"But I really don't know what benefit the Speaker can gain by giving us food. Could it be fame?"

It is only natural for the Demon King to rule Kazdel, and the Sarkaz are notorious.

This leads to the fact that no one wants the reputation of this race. The title of Demon King is seen as a symbol of evil by foreigners, and they want to stay away from it.

When Lamaren heard what her best friend said, she was stunned.

Guard against day and night, it is difficult to guard against house thieves.

The saying "beware of fire, theft and best friends" is really not empty talk.

It turns out that you might like someone else's husband... Ramaleen suddenly felt that she could not blame herself for this, because strictly speaking, she was also stealing Warfarin's love.

But it's a bit immoral to set your sights on my man.

"So what should I do, what if the Speaker really does..."

"Is there a possibility that he just doesn't want to see his witch wife sad?"

"But it's too much. If it could be a little less, I wouldn't think so."

The reason is simple: Mr. Huang gave us so many things.

If Theresa combined this wave of supplies with the existing food, the Speaker's support would be enough for Kazdel to survive for a year without any productive labor.

This is 60% of Kazdel's total annual output!

The letter also mentioned that there will be other subsequent humanitarian aid, such as medical supplies.

"Lamaline, although I don't want to take advantage of you, you said before that Speaker Victoria's wife is just a small banshee in your tribe. She doesn't have any special bloodline and is not your relative."

"That's why I can't believe it... unless the Speaker's wife is you..."

Ramalen felt that her prince's thinking had begun to become confused. It was not just that it had nothing to do with her, it had a huge impact.

In fact, Your Highness, you have already guessed the correct answer. If it’s not me, who else could it be?

Theresa, how can I save you from being sent to the dark room in the future?

Looking at Theresa who was already lost in deep thought, Ramalen was also trying to find a way out.

Your best friend is definitely going to lose, there is no chance of winning at all.

Acao had already told her a long time ago that even in the most extreme circumstances, he would do his best to save the lives of the brother and sister.

And try to see if you can use practical actions and words to convince Theresa to change her mind. If you can do that, that would be the best, but it is almost impossible.

At least Ramalen thought that His Highness would never agree with Acao's theory of unified force.
