Leng Ling looked at the door alertly. A young girl stood at the door and looked over timidly, "Your Highness Leng Ling, are you awake?"
"This is where?"
"This is the guest room of the Prime Minister's Palace. You fainted just now." The young girl came in, holding a cup of coffee in her hand. "You just woke up. Please drink a cup of coffee to refresh yourself."
Leng Ling did not take the coffee and asked in a calm voice, "Where is the Prime Minister?"
The girl seemed not to have heard. She placed the coffee next to the bed, "Your Highness, do you need anything else?"
"I want to see the Prime Minister."
Seeing Leng Ling insisting on walking out, the girl looked troubled and said, "Your Highness, Prime Minister, it is not convenient for him to see you. Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Leng Ling ignored the girl's answer and left the room.
As soon as he walked out of the room, the guard outside immediately greeted him, "Your Highness Leng Ling, where are you going?"
"Where is the Prime Minister? I want to see him."
The guard blocked the way, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the Prime Minister is in a meeting, please have a good rest in the room."
His thick sword eyebrows raised, Leng Ling ordered, "Get out of the way."
"Your Highness, the Prime Minister will meet you naturally after finishing his work. He told us to let you have a good rest in your room first. Please don't make it difficult for us."
Leng Ling ignored the other party and passed him by, but was grabbed by the person behind him, "Your Highness."
"Do not touch me!"
Leng Ling frowned in disgust, shook the other person away vigorously, and walked forward.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the guard quickly called another one to come forward, and the two of them surrounded him, "Your Highness, you can't go out."
The eyes like a deep lake looked straight at the two people in front of him, and the cold and clear voice carried an irresistible majesty, "Go and report, otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do next."
Not to be outdone, the other party said with a look of contempt, "Your Highness Leng Ling, please don't go too far and don't order us with a arrogant look. This is not your country, and no one will really listen to your orders."
Leng Ling stared at the two of them, his handsome face as cold as ice, "I am a guest invited by your Prime Minister. You knocked me out, which was disrespectful. Now you still talk to me in this tone, is this your Valencia?"
How do you treat guests? If you insist on not letting me see Prime Minister Karl, then I would like to ask what your intentions are?"
"this……"
The two guards looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Lifting her sharp chin, Leng Ling said with a cold face, "Go and report, or just tell me where Karl is."
"Bah, bang, bang," the sudden burst of applause ended the confrontation between Leng Ling and the guard.
"He is worthy of being the leader of the 'Eagle of Freedom'. He is arrogant, calm and courageous, just like the rumors say."
Leng Ling turned around and looked forward coldly, her perfect face expressionless, "You finally showed up, Prime Minister Karl."
Karl stepped forward and opened his hands in a welcoming gesture, "Your Highness, I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting."
Leng Ling continued to look at Karl, pursed her thin lips tightly, and there was no emotion in her black eyes.
After a long time, he finally said, "Prime Minister Karl, could you please explain to me what just happened?"
"Of course, of course. Your Highness, please take a moment to speak. My office is in front of you. Let's go there and have a good talk."
Karl smiled awkwardly, raised his hand and motioned for Leng Ling to follow him forward.
Leng Ling did not follow. He looked around and asked in a faint voice, "Where is Li En?"
"Lieutenant Colonel Lien is chatting with his old friends. Your Highness, let's go over first."
Leng Ling lowered his eyebrows in thought, and then followed Karl to the office.
In the Prime Minister's Office, the two were sitting face to face. Prime Minister Karl said, "Your Highness Leng Ling, when you came here before, I happened to have something urgent to deal with, but my people didn't understand the situation, which almost led to a big mistake.
I express my deepest apologies for the harm I have caused you."
The seemingly sincere apology turned out to be so hypocritical in Leng Ling's eyes. He didn't say anything, just looked at the middle-aged man in front of him quietly.
Karl was looked at like this by Leng Ling, and the fat on his face swayed. He smiled narrowly, "Your Highness, my men are not doing well. I have imprisoned them. What do you think is the best way to deal with it?"
Leng Ling looked down at the steaming coffee with dull eyes, "Where is Mrs. Ruth?"
"I have sent people to send her back, and I will deal with her severely for what she did."
He knew that the other party was acting, but Leng Ling didn't have any evidence to expose Karl's disguise. Moreover, he was still with the other party, and he was in a disadvantageous situation no matter what he did. So he could only observe the current situation first and stop calmly.
Leng Ling nodded lightly, "I came to Valencia, on the one hand, to send Mrs. Ruth back, and on the other hand, to convey the president's wishes."
"Please say."
Chanting a little, the clear voice rippled lowly, "Lanson and Valencia have gone through hundreds of years of war. Countless innocent people died because of the war, and more people lost their homes and relatives. They were displaced and separated from their relatives.
, I don’t know when such cruel and painful days will end. Today, I came here just to ask the distinguished Prime Minister, when will the meaningless bloodshed and sacrifice between our two countries end?"
"Although your Lanson country is weak, it can tenaciously resist our Valencia's continuous aggression for hundreds of years. I admire your tenacious fighting spirit. However, the law of the jungle is the law of nature, and it is the same for our human world.
. Therefore, no matter how hard you try to resist, you will eventually become a vassal state of other countries. If you can agree to the conditions I have proposed, perhaps we can prevent your country from being annexed by other countries."
Leng Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, "What do you want?"
"Lansin needs strong backing and support. Only in this way can it develop better. We in Valencia are very willing to form an alliance with you to fight against the invasion of other countries and make the entire Catala continent a powerful empire."
Leng Ling replied without hesitation, "I refuse."
Karl smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Please don't reject me in a hurry. Your Lanson is a big area and it will be annexed by other countries sooner or later. Instead of doing this, it is better to be like our alliance. When the time comes, our troops will be stationed in your Lanson.
Protect your security and resist the aggression of other countries."
"We people in Lansen only love our own country and will never agree to an alliance with other countries. As for your so-called garrison protection, we don't need it."
Karl was very dissatisfied with Leng Ling's answer, and his deep voice had a hint of coercion, "Your Highness Leng Ling, is this your answer?"
