Sophia stated her request to rent Cotai City in professional diplomatic language. She practiced this all night, but unfortunately Charlemagne did not understand a word.
He listened very carefully, paying attention to every word, but he heard Sophia's voice as a melodious singing voice, and the meaning of the language had long been forgotten by him.
Sophia could see Charlemagne's thoughts. She cast a charming smile at Charlemagne from time to time, and saw Charlemagne slowly melting in her smile.
The result of the negotiation was no surprise. Charlemagne accepted all of Sophia's conditions. Even if Sophia asked Charlemagne to give the Golden City to him, Charlemagne would not hesitate at all.
After the meeting, Charlemagne prepared a banquet for Sophia. Charlemagne wanted to invite Sophia to dance with her, but Sophia refused.
She didn't mind the little physical contact, but she couldn't dance, and she didn't want to affect her image in the prince's mind.
Although a little disappointed, the failure to ask for anything inspired Charlemagne's love even more. Before Sophia left, Charlemagne once again expressed his attitude.
"My queen, I deeply apologize for all the previous misunderstandings. I hereby solemnly promise to you that all soldiers from the Ryan Kingdom will withdraw within two days, and we will provide you with the help we can."
Looking at this persistent suitor, Sophia came up with the idea of extorting money.
"Prince Charlemagne, regarding what you said about doing your best, I would like to know what the specific content is?"
Charlemagne smiled and said: "If your Majesty does not object, I am willing to raise two million pounds of grain for your Majesty first."
Sophia smiled, this is the charming thing about the second generation of rich people. The first thing they ask for is two million pounds of grain, unlike Reggie, who only delivers tens of thousands of pounds of grain each time, has to keep accounts, and has to keep track of himself.
Calculate interest.
Of course, compared with the past generosity of the Lion Country, two million pounds is nothing. Sophia gently stroked Charlemagne's cheek and said softly: "Thank you for your generosity." Then she turned and left.
go.
This touch made Charlemagne stand in the cold wind for a long time, unable to let go.
"She took away my heart, General Andrew." Looking at the hot air balloon going away, the disappointed Charlemagne couldn't bear the melancholy.
Andrew laughed and said: "Maybe I shouldn't talk nonsense, but Your Highness, I really feel that you are a match made in heaven."
"Really?" Charlemagne looked at Andrew in surprise.
"Of course it is true, my lord, there is no one more suitable than you."
"General Andrew, help me raise four million pounds of food. I think five days should be enough."
"Your Highness, what you just promised is two million."
"It's four million, General Andrew. She deserves double my love."
In Charlemagne's eyes, the whole world is filled with red romance.
…
Sophia, who returned to Silver Pine City, told Reggie the results of the negotiation. Reggie had heard of Charlemagne's reputation. Everyone in the Lion Country knew that Charlemagne was the most perfect man in the country, bar none.
"Looking at the way he looks, he must have fallen in love with you." Reggie said with a jealous look on his face.
"I think so too." Sophia took a sip of wine proudly.
"What's your impression of him?"
"Not bad, he is a man who can make women extremely excited."
Reggie curled his lips and said, "I know you are an unsympathetic woman."
Sophia sneered: "Do you think it's possible for the Queen to be devoted?"
Reggie also smiled and said, "Don't forget my curse. You cannot give birth to offspring for other men."
"Go to hell, you idiot pretending to be a wizard! Do you think I will believe your stupid lies?"
The two bickered for a while, and Sophia got down to business: "The day after tomorrow, I will lead the army into Golden Light City, and there will be a grand banquet. Will you come to attend?"
"Yes, why not go?" Reggie smiled and nodded, "It's just in time to discuss the handover of Han Maple Fortress with Marquis Nehruv."
Reggie brought up this sensitive topic without any secret, which made Sophia somewhat embarrassed.
"I will definitely fulfill my promise, and please don't make it too difficult for me."
Reggie asked in surprise: "What difficulty do you mean?"
Sophia said: "I haven't had a chance to talk to Nehruv about Hanmaple Fortress yet. He needs to be mentally prepared, and I also need time to convince him. So on the night of the banquet, please don't mention this matter.
."
Don't mention it, don't be anxious, wait for the right time...
These words were so familiar. They were a fixed line before a woman cheated. What surprised Reggie was that in the Middle Ages, the characteristics of such lines were very similar to those in later generations.
There are still two days left, which gives Reggie a chance to prepare more fully.
"Are you sure Prince Charlemagne will retreat obediently?"
Sophia was surprised: "From what I can tell, he doesn't look like he is lying."
"Do people who lie have lies written on their faces?" Reggie sneered, "We should take more precautions."
"Are you saying that I should still prepare my soldiers for battle?"
"Not just your soldiers, but also your weapons," Reggie said. "I checked the rocket yesterday. You didn't store it in the right way. Ice has formed inside the rocket."
"Oh my God!" Sophia immediately panicked when she heard that there was something wrong with the rocket. This was her guarantee for attacking the city in the future. "Will the ice affect the power?"
"Her Majesty the Queen, you have also used black powder. Ask your soldiers if frozen black powder can still be ignited?"
"Then, what should we do? Is it possible to use fire..."
"You want to use fire?"
"No, no, I just think you should have something to do, right?"
Reggie said: "I tried to remove the ice, but it is very dangerous. You need to find some craftsmen to help me."
Sophia naturally agreed to Reggie's request. Even if she didn't need help, she still had to monitor Reggie's actions. God knows what Reggie wanted to do with the rocket.
…
Two days later, Charlemagne withdrew his troops, and the fifty-day siege of Golden Light City was finally lifted.
Sophia led the army into Golden Light City, and the residents of the city lined the streets to welcome her.
The residents of Lane Country did not want to welcome the army of Bayer Country, but behind them was Nehruf's butcher knife.
People stretched out their hands expressionlessly and shouted slogans of welcome numbly. It was not until Reggie appeared that the scene changed.
"Look! Shameless traitor!"
"Reggie the Traitor!"
"Despicable beast!"
"Shameless lackey!"
The continuous shouts and curses instantly ignited the emotions of the people, and the originally deserted streets immediately became boiling.
In fact, many people know that Reggie is not a traitor, he has no country at all.
And many people also know that it was not Reggie who betrayed Cotai City.
But people don't care about this. After all, angry emotions need an outlet to vent.
The Bayer people don't care about this, and insulting Reggie has nothing to do with them.
After experiencing such a special welcome ceremony, Reggie followed Sophia into the lord's castle.
There is no need to elaborate on what happened next. This was a banquet for the Bayers, and Reggie still seemed redundant here.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Reggie made an excuse and left. Nehruv arranged his room next to Sophia's. This was obviously the queen's intention. The wall did not mean anything to Sophia.
Barrier, Reggie's every move is under Sophia's surveillance.
The banquet lasted until late at night. Sofia was still fighting for wine with the two lords, Nehruv had already vomited once, and Salah's steps were also staggering.
"Old friend, there is something I want to tell you," Salah raised his glass again and said to Nehruv, "You may have to change your territory."
"Of course I have to change it!" Nekhruf said with a smile, "I've long had enough of the crappy place of Hanfeng Fortress. I think Golden Light City is pretty good."
"Where's Silver Pine City?"
"Silver Pine City... is also very good," Nehruv frowned, "Man, why do you ask this?"
Salah licked his lips, lowered his glass and said, "Old man, we are going to give Hanmaple Fortress to Reggie Victor."
"What did you say?" Nekhruf threw the wine glass on the ground, "Tell me whose idea this was? As long as I live, Hanmaple Fortress cannot belong to him!"
