Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

After listening to Hill's report, Feilin's expression gradually became gloomy, and she seemed to be showing signs of getting angry.

This would probably make people confused at any time. Why did Feilin show such an expression when it was obviously the good news of the army's victory?

It was as if it was not the mountain people who suffered a great defeat on the front line, but the imperial army.

Hill noticed Feilin's expression, half-knelt quietly in front of the hall, and waited quietly for Feilin's next arrangements.

"Why is it Zero again? She is already in the Eastern Empire, how can she still affect the war situation?"

After a long silence, Feilin finally spoke the first sentence.

It was as if Ye Qing was the mortal enemy of the Xiluo Empire, rather than the benefactor who helped her ascend to the throne.

Hill naturally couldn't answer this question. In fact, there are some things that can only be thought about in one's mind and cannot be said openly.

It was Feilin who needed Ye Qing's support and expected her to join the war and advance the progress. But now it is Feilin herself who feels "hindered".

Hill was not unaware of the reasons for this change.

"Your Majesty, I think...it's time for you to take back the title of Queen's Knight. Lord Zero probably doesn't even care about you anymore."

At this moment, the man in black robe who had been standing next to Feilin finally spoke and said to Feilin in a hoarse and unclear voice.

In the past, anyone who dared to say anything bad about Ye Qing to Feilin would probably be subject to severe punishment.

Feilin once used the empire's criminal law to protect Ye Qing's reputation, but the nap seemed to have swept Ye Qing into the garbage dump.

Before Feilin could speak, Hill, who was half-kneeling in the hall, gritted his teeth and finally defended Ye Qing.

"Your Majesty... Lord Zero, this is only to support the Empire's war effort. I believe Lord Zero has no intention of overstepping the mark."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robe laughed in a weird way.

The piercing sound sent chills down one's spine, torturing one's mind like nails scratching on a blackboard.

Before Feilin even opened his mouth, the man in black robe laughed so arrogantly, as if Feilin on the throne was not the emperor of this empire, and that he, who did not even dare to show his face, was the real emperor.

"Master Hill, could it be that you and Master Ling are close friends? Otherwise, how do you know Master Ling's thoughts so well? Could it be that you have some ideas as well?"

Such a false accusation has almost pushed Hill's patience to the limit.

Chapter 35 The Current Situation of the Empire

Fortunately, the other party did not continue to dwell on this topic, but instead pretended to forgive Hill.

"Since Lord Hill has been with Your Majesty for many years and has made contributions, I will not take your gaffe seriously this time. Please leave."

In front of the king of a country, he actually overstepped his authority and asked his subjects to do things?

Even if Hill really said something wrong, the decision should be made by Emperor Feilin, not by him.

But Feilin next to her did not say anything. Even when Hill raised his head and looked at her, Feilin still looked at Hill with cold eyes, as if she had tacitly approved of the actions of the man in black.

Such an action naturally made Hill, who was half-kneeling below, very disappointed.

"Yes... Then I will take my leave, Your Majesty."

Hill stood up and bowed respectfully to Feilin, then stood up and left the hall.

It was not until Hill had left for some time that Feilin looked at the man in black robe, with murderous intent gradually revealed in her eyes.

"Although I agree to cooperate with you, don't think you can interfere in my country again."

Layers of ice spread out from around Feilin's throne. The biting cold made the man in black robe subconsciously want to retreat, but the ice had already frozen his feet.

Perhaps he didn't expect Feilin to have such a reaction, the man in black robe struggled a little.

"Your Highness Feilin, don't forget our original contract!!"

After he finished speaking, the ice stopped covering the man in black robe, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the ice still froze his feet firmly, making him unable to move.

Especially the biting cold, which made him feel that his feet were gradually becoming numb. If he continued like this, he would be left with a chronic disease even if he did not become disabled.

Having just tasted the sweetness of power, how could he allow himself to die so easily?

"Even in the initial contract, you were not allowed to exercise my power. I think you should not have forgotten why you are standing here."

Feilin ignored the man in black robe, but quietly picked up the documents sent back from various places and began to sort out recent official business.

In particular, reports from the front line on various aspects can only be delivered to her at regular intervals, so it takes a certain amount of time to deal with them each time before the problems on the front line can be solved.

Even today when magic is well developed, in order to maintain confidentiality and prevent interference from the other party, a lot of information can only be sent back through traditional methods.

The man in black robe was really panicked at this moment. Seeing that Feilin was serious this time, he couldn't hold on any longer.

But his standing here represented the reputation of the forces behind him, and he could not easily bow his head and admit defeat to Feilin.

Thinking of this, the man in black robe gave what he thought was a very clever answer.

"I am standing here to represent the face of the Holy See. You don't want the face of the Holy See to be damaged, do you?"

After hearing this, Feilin immediately put down the document in her hand and stared at the black-robed man in front of her.

She didn't say anything, but just the look in her eyes made the man in black robe dare not move at all, without even saying a word.

So much so that the man in black robe seemed to have forgotten that his legs were still frozen by the ice.

After an unknown amount of time, Feilin finally spoke slowly.

"I hope you people of the Church will put away your arrogance. Otherwise, even if I lose all the wealth of the empire, I will sweep you into the garbage dump."

In the past, the man in black had never heard anyone speak like this, let alone talk to him, let alone "declare war" on the empire so openly.

But at this moment, the man in black robe believed that the other party had the confidence to do so.

The reason is simple. The person in front of him is the emperor of the Hero Empire, and behind her is the Hero Empire that once overthrew the Holy See.

If we were to talk about which country in the entire continent has the deepest hatred for the Holy See, it must be the Hero Empire.

The man in black robe was already pale at this moment. If it weren't for the mask on his face covering his features, this terrified look would have been exposed to Feilin.

Just when he was about to be unable to bear it, a voice finally came to his rescue.

"Cardinal Lawrence requests an audience with Your Majesty!"

The resounding voice came from outside the hall, and even caused the hall to tremble.

Such an action naturally made Feilin's face change suddenly.

But it was not because she was afraid of the cardinal, but because she was angry about it.

"Your Majesty Feilin..."

"Since the Holy See has done this, I believe you will definitely go to war with Hero. Come, take him down!!"

Bishop Lawrence was also stunned for a moment. Looking at the royal knights who suddenly appeared around him, he had no idea why this happened.

Not to mention Feilin's attitude at the moment. Even if he did this in the past, Feilin would at least consider the cooperative relationship between the two parties and would not pursue him to this extent.

Now he is even surrounded by these knights, which is enough to show Feilin's determination.

Logically speaking, the cooperation between the two parties has only been established for a short time, so it is not likely that they will suddenly fall out like this, unless there are other factors affecting it...

Thinking of this, Bishop Lawrence couldn't help but look up and naturally noticed the man in black robe who was frozen into an "ice sculpture".

The cardinal immediately guessed what might have happened and became extremely angry.

But the current situation is to resolve this "misunderstanding", and at least we have to come up with chips that will satisfy His Majesty Feilin.

"Your Majesty Feilin, this is a pure misunderstanding. How could the Holy See be willing to go to war with the Hero Empire? I came here this time to give you a great gift."

Feilin still had a cold expression on her face. She did not let the guards around her withdraw and continued to treat Lawrence the same way.

This action made Lawrence realize that this was probably not a "torture tactic", and it made him even more surprised at what the man in black had done to force people to this point.

"Oh? The great gift you mentioned, are you referring to this representative of the Holy See?"

Feilin sneered, which made Bishop Lawrence feel even more scalp-numbing. Anyone could hear her sarcasm.

"Of course not. First of all, it's the war at the Bigdi Canal and the Sovov Mountains. I heard that His Majesty Feilin is troubled by this at the moment, so the Holy See plans to send a corps of crusaders to support him."

Perhaps the cardinal had not done any research before coming here, and he did not know that the war in the Sovov Mountains was over and only the canal was in trouble.

But with Feilin’s previous arrangements, the canal problem will soon no longer be a problem, so such an action naturally caused some misunderstandings.

In Feilin's eyes, the church is now sending one of their elite troops to the scene to seize the credit, which means it is to ensure the takeover of these two places, right?

Feilin sneered. She did not rush to explain the situation in the two areas, but motioned Bishop Lawrence to continue.

"The other thing is, of course, to build a cathedral in the empire. Of course, all the materials will be provided by the Holy See. The empire only needs to allocate a piece of land close to the palace for us."

In Lawrence's opinion, after the first "gift", the second one is definitely worth discussing.

Our side has already planned to send elite troops to participate in the war, and the Empire should at least show its sincerity. Cooperation is a mutual compromise between the two sides, and each side gets what it needs.

But he probably didn't expect that after the first "gift", this second condition that could be discussed had become a further threat.

His actions naturally made Ye Feilin even more furious.

Originally, she just wanted to extort money from the Vatican, but she didn't expect the other party to be even more excessive than herself, not to mention that they were planning to cross the bottom line.

"Okay, okay, that's great."

"It seems that Feilin also thinks so, that's great..."

"How about I give up the throne to His Holiness the Pope?"

After hearing this, Lawrence dared not say another word.

Even the most obtuse person would have realized Feilin's anger at this moment.

He gradually realized that there might be something wrong with what he said just now, which caused Feilin to react like that.

Of course, the matter of building a cathedral had been mentioned before, but Feilin did not intend to provide material support or allocate land, but there was no such a strong reaction either.

"...Your Majesty Feilin, if I have offended you in any way, please allow me to apologize first."

Lawrence bowed and apologized decisively. At this moment, he threw away all the face of the cardinals and did something that other cardinals would never do.

As the so-called servant of the gods, he now bowed to the king of the world.

If it were in the Vatican, his behavior would be enough to be considered apostasy.

Although Lawrence is not strong, he is very clear-headed. If he offends Feilin again at this time, Feilin probably doesn't mind turning the cooperative relationship between the two parties into a war relationship.

This is a "madman" completely different from the old emperor!

Seeing Lawrence saluting to her, Feilin burst into laughter, completely losing the reserve of an emperor.

Because she remembered that her damn father once said something quite true.

What wise men truly fear are those who do not care about their lives.

"First of all, tell all your Crusaders to get out of here. If I see you set foot in these two places, your Crusaders will never be able to return."

Feilin stood up and removed the ice from the black-robed man's legs, causing him, whose legs had already become numb, to slide down with the icy water.

Although Instructor Lawrence was worried, he was unable to go forward to help the man in black robe up.

"Secondly, don't even think about the cathedral. If His Holiness the Pope asks what the cause is, just say it's this guy's fault."

After saying this, Feilin waved her hand, signaling the surrounding royal knights to disperse.

At this point, Lawrence knew that there was no room for negotiation. The only thing that still puzzled him was whether Feilin would drive away the Crusaders.

Chapter 36 Ye Qing’s “Work”

No matter what, he had to solve the problem at hand.

"I think it's all just a misunderstanding..."

Fortunately, these troubles that occurred in the palace did not reach the ears of the players, otherwise the current situation would inevitably change dramatically.

As for the people of Xingchen, they probably never thought that their "merits" would be claimed by others.

Especially Ye Qing, if she knew that it was the so-called Holy See that was bluffing, she would definitely rush up and slap these guys twice.

As the trouble was solved, Xiaoyan's reputation became famous.

This substitute player of Star solved a big problem single-handedly, a problem that other guilds could not find even if they joined forces.

With Hanazawa Shirayuki in front and Xiaoyan behind, Xingchen has already vaguely gained the reputation of being the Whampoa Military Academy among the teams.
