However, Egil did not answer her question directly. Instead, he looked up and down at His Highness the princess. His eyes stayed on Liliannu's xiong team for a little longer - but it was not enough to be discovered. Then he smiled brightly, looked straight, stared at Liliannu's eyes, and then asked, "Liliannu, Your Highness the Princess?"

"That's right. It's me." Liliannu said with an expressionless face.[..com]

"What an irrespectful guy." Seeing that the other party had no friendly behavior at all, Egil couldn't help but think of this in his heart.

Of course, in fact, Liliannu did not know what Egil thought was as arrogant and impolite. The reason for facing Egil in this way was that His Royal Highness, the princess, had too strong hostility towards the Norman Empire, a country that expanded too rapidly. Therefore, when facing Egil, Liliannu subconsciously regarded the other party as an enemy rather than an ally. Therefore, the unfriendly attitude can be imagined.

"Say hello to you, His Highness the Princess of the noble Roman Empire." Egil nodded to Liliannu, but it made Liliannu feel a little embarrassed - after all, his previous attitude was too stiff.

"Say hello to you, Caesar of the Norman Empire." In the end, Liliannu had to make up a ceremony - just nodding.

Then the princess of Eastern Rome continued, "Then next, your Majesty can explain your point to me and to all the Greeks present. Do you think Constantinople is better or Krakow is better?"

"You are a little bit hard. Your Highness." Egil frowned: "Is this how Rome treats its allies and guests? Forces the other party to compare who is better between their capital and Constantinople? Do you want me to say what you hear against my will to satisfy my vanity, or do you hope that I will say what I go against yours, so that you will be dissatisfied, and thus cause disputes and even destroy the relationship between the two countries?"

After Egil's words, the Greeks around him were all blushed and a little ashamed of what they had done. However, more of them were blaming His Royal Highness, who blamed their princess for losing the face of the empire and resenting the Emperor Norman, who believed that he insulted the great Roman Empire.

"It's not what you think. Or, Caesar, you're too persistent - this is just a joke, a topic that can be communicated with friends. It's not as serious as your Majesty you said. It won't hurt the relationship between the two countries."

At this moment, His Royal Highness, the princess, who was opposite Egil, had another thought. He secretly lamented that the other party's words were convenient and cruel. As expected, he was well-known. At the same time, he once again confirmed that he had regarded the Norman Empire as the number one enemy of the Eastern Roman Empire. He then developed a sense of superiority of foresight. At the same time, he also developed a sense of mission that no one else could do. After thinking for a moment, he blocked Egil's words. He stated that this matter was not as serious as Egil imagined. On the contrary, he also blamed Egil for being too fussy and exaggerating. He blamed Egil.

"Okay okay." Egil chuckled, secretly admiring in his heart that the other party was really talented and beautiful. So he continued: "So, since Your Highness the Princess said that, I will say a little. Since it is a chat with friends, what is wrong or what has been said? Don't worry about it."

Egil started with a blockade of the other party's way of questioning. Then he continued: "To put it, the Norman Empire was only five years old. It was only a matter of occupying Eastern Europe and unifying the Ross ethnic group. Two years ago, our capital was still in Gothic Castle in the North, not Krakow. At that time, Krakow was just a small town with a population of less than 100,000 and covering an area of ​​only a few square kilometers." At this point, Egil changed his tone and talked about Constantinople.

"And this new Roman city was established since the time of Emperor Constantine to the time of Emperor Theodosie. Many kings of the descendants of Rome have been built for hundreds of years. The Roman Empire is known as the most powerful country in Europe, with its political, cultural, military, and economic centers in Constantinople. The land of Sères is the key to the empire. One has only been built for two years. The other has hundreds of years of foundation. But you are not confident and want to compare Constantinople with Krakow. This is the reason I said before that it is difficult for others to force people."

"In this way, does Your Majesty think that Krakow is not as good as Constantinople?" Princess Liliannu asked directly without caring about the faint irony in Egil's words.

"Maybe so." Egil chuckled, but indirectly admitted the other party's statement. However, before Liliannu cut off his words, he continued: "However, in my opinion, this kind of thing is simply irrelevant - even if Constantinople can be better than Krakow, what does this mean? Everyone, it really sounds wonderful and very respectful to have a capital that is unparalleled in the world. However, does this end? I don't think so.

I am a Norman, and I am the emperor of the Normans. I naturally want to use the Norman Empire as an example. It is okay to listen to it. If you think what I said is wrong, you can just joke. My empire has emerged from the coldest, most boring and most barren country in the north, and has pioneered and forged ahead, conquering countless countries and countless territories. Even within two years, it has a capital that has made you worried that you will be able to compare your Constantinople. Why is this?

This is because of the enterprising spirit that the empire possesses! This spirit, this positive spirit, runs through the people of the empire. The soldiers of the empire expanded their territory, the farmers of the empire worked hard to cultivate, the craftsmen of the empire worked hard to forge, the technicians of the empire gathered their thoughts, and the priests of the empire were extremely pious and dedicated! The thriving momentum of the empire is the most precious wealth of the empire. The spirit of the empire's people is the most rewarding treasure!

It is certainly gratifying to have a gorgeous and unrivaled city. However, if you are immersed in inherent glory and spend the most time to remember the glory of your ancestors. The biggest goal is to repeat what your ancestors have accomplished. The purpose is to defend your honor, defend your former glory, and defend your ancient traditions - without making progress. What will happen to the country in the end?

I, the emperor of the Norman Empire. I have the most hardworking workers and farmers, the most warlike generals and soldiers. My empire has made great strides forward, even if he suffers setbacks, even if Krakow is destroyed. But as long as such an enterprising spirit still exists, the empire will continue to progress. Another Krakow, or a capital comparable to it, and even a more gorgeous and sturdy city! And more than one - but, everyone, what should you do if Rome loses Constantinople and even Constantinople are captured? What should you do? What should you do with the fate of the empire?"

Egil made a lot of rhetoric, but he summarized the achievements of the Norman Empire into enterprising spirit, and attributed the spirit of the Greeks to conservatism and tradition. By comparing this, he came to the conclusion that although the capital of Norman was not as good as Constantinople, the Norman Empire rose as it was, and its future was great. However, Rome was prosperous and declined, and its future was dim. In this comparison, it goes without saying who won and who lost.

"What I said is good...but it's all nonsense. What should you do if there is no system?"

Thousands of miles away, Krakow Aurora woke up from the shock brought by Egil. She felt that she was in love with Egil. However, she said such words.

Hearing the arrogant tone of a little girl like Aurora, Egil didn't understand. But he didn't say it out loud. Instead, his lips curled up and a smile that looked like a winner. And this smile seemed particularly dazzling to the Romans present, almost preventing them from looking directly.

"Long live! Long live His Majesty Egil! Long live the Norman Empire!" A total of 6,500 imperial guards and the Knights' Guards shouted loudly after Egil's words. The voice resounded through the sky, which contrasted with the embarrassment of the Greeks around them.

"That's right... I'll keep my inseparable and weak, and they will only decline. Only active and enterprising is the foundation of a nation's progress. Back then, the Roman Empire could develop from an insignificant city-state on the Apennine Peninsula to a huge empire that spans Asia, Europe and Africa, and transforms the Mediterranean into an inner lake. It was the spirit of active and enterprising... In the end, the destruction of Rome was also caused by the loss of this spirit. From the nobles to the common people, they all decayed and fell, and they didn't want to go in. Looking at the present, what the Romans thought the most was to restore their original glory, defend their glory, and maintain their traditional status. But no one had ever thought about creating a better and more majestic occasion than they did in the past..." Opposite Egil, the princess of Rome, Liliano, was also speechless.

At this moment, Princess Liliannu looked at Egil's radiant appearance and listened to the cheers from the heart of the Norman Guards. She was a little intoxicated for a moment. She was filled with emotions in her heart and stared at Egil's eyes without saying a word. Egil seemed to notice her scorching gaze, and turned her gaze, looking at Princess Liliannu, smiling without saying a word.

The two looked a little ambiguous, and Artoria, who wanted to rush up to beat people several times, looked at each other for nearly five minutes. Finally, Princess Liliannu also laughed...!
