Emperor Louis Bird supported his head with one hand and read the urgent letter delivered by the courier. His eyes narrowed to a slit, and the moment he got the letter, his fingers could not help but tremble. The servants looked at him anxiously.
His emperor looks like this. He shouldn't be like this... Something big must have happened... However, how do these little servants know what happened? They can only serve the emperor seriously and pour tea and water without even saying a word.
He didn't dare to ask. He was afraid that the emperor would get angry the next second and slam the table.
"Nord has thirty armored warships, how can it allow barbarians to sneak attack and successfully land? Since the establishment of the empire, such a thing has never happened!"
The emperor held the letter and cursed loudly, with an unconcealable anger on his face.
"Norska passed through the ocean currents and drifted to the northern coast of Nordland in three days."
The messenger replied breathlessly, but at the same time he was trembling, fearing that he would offend the emperor if he said something wrong. Although strictly speaking, the emperor did not have the power to deal with him. Even if he wanted to deal with it, it would have to be done through the elector of Nordland.
"It seems that Rhodes was right..."
Louis Bird sighed softly.
He should have thought that Kislev, as a border kingdom, is adjacent to Norsca, and no one is more familiar with Norsca than them. As the lord of the northern border of Kislev, Rhodes is very familiar with Norsca.
The situation is definitely more understanding than other Kislev ladies.
Emperor Louis Byrd believed it, and he knew that the other electors would also believe it. However, out of interest, everyone shirks responsibility from each other, so even if he believed it, no one would come forward. This invasion, in other words, was defeated.
It was better to say that the chaos within the empire gave the barbarians an opportunity. This reminded the emperor of Rhodes' words again. In the end of the world, the biggest enemy is not external, but internal... The biggest chaos
Not outside, but within the empire, corruption and chaos are like latent plagues, breeding in dark corners.
Even more terrifying news came a week later - the Norscan army had arrived at the castle of Marienburg. At this time, the army of Rickland was still gathering... Although Marienburg no longer belonged to
Part of the empire. However, it was once a part of the empire and had deep historical roots. It would be unjustifiable to leave it alone, both emotionally and rationally. More importantly, Marienburg is located on the lower reaches of the Reik River. Once it is captured by the Norscans, these
The barbarians' next target was Altdorf, the imperial capital.
Louis Bird knew that with the strength of the barbarians, they could not attack Altdorf for the time being. Rick's navy could smash their boats to pieces on the wide river. But once the barbarians conquered Marienburg, they would definitely attack Altdorf.
It creates a strong deterrent force for the residents of Astoria, and even for the residents of the entire Reikland. In the human world, the most terrifying thing is not how powerful the enemy is, but panic. Panic will drive emotions, and once this emotion becomes a trend, it will destroy
Defeat the most powerful warrior. This is one of the reasons why Reikland must support Marienburg.

Dennis sat in the jeweled hall. After dealing with the rape of civilians by nobles and catching a bunch of corrupt officials behind the scenes, she was very happy. However, a deep sense of exhaustion penetrated Dennis's heart. She knew very well that such a thing, such a thing
There are many officials and nobles like this in Kislev. If you thoroughly investigate a case, you will offend a lot of people. So, what should you do if something similar happens next time? She can't do it herself every time, right?
In the end, all the nobles of Kislev were offended?
The power of money and power is like a mountain pressing on the heads of the people of Kislev, but Denis herself cannot shake it. Before becoming the queen, she felt that reform was simple and the world could become beautiful under her own governance.
However, the reality is that decadent systems and deep-rooted social conflicts make reform difficult.
Feeling tired, Dennis held her head with one hand and sat on the tall red carpet seat. She was tired, really tired. And there was no one around her who could rely on. Her father had already left her hometown.
At this time, he was either meddling in other people's affairs in the empire, or continuing to fight the barbarians in the Norse territory... In his memory, he almost spent his time in battle...
Dennis closed her eyes, and she thought of Boris again. The man she thought about day and night. Powerful people can get who they like at will, but as a queen, she can't get what she wants.
People... I have to say, this is really a twist of fate. What if she was not the queen? Maybe it would be much better... But the god of fate made her meet Pavel first, and then Boris... Commoners and nobles are okay
Divorce to get the person you want, but can the queen do it?
Thinking of this, Dennis couldn't help but shed painful tears. Simple love was a luxury, and she could only sit in the cold palace and miss her alone.
But why not call Boris again? She has such power... doesn't she?
But, does Boris really miss me? If he really does, why doesn't he come by himself? He had a thousand reasons to come...but he didn't come...could he just be toying with me? Dennis' heart stirred up
Infinite waves.
She sat there quietly, tortured over and over in her heart. Finally, she asked the maid to go and summon Boris Boca into the palace. Let's see him again...even just to look at him...Dennis thought...
…
A few hours later, the Queen's personal maid finally arrived. However, from that gloomy face, Dennis had already read the answer she wanted...
"Isn't he coming?"
The queen's voice was low and hoarse. Her heart was like a bolt from the blue. A heavy sense of loss hit her, making her feel desperate. This was an unbearable weight. The queen slumped on the seat, holding on to the jewel-encrusted wedding dress with one hand.
Gold handrail.
"What's wrong with him?"
the queen asked next.
"No."
The maid returned in a low voice.
There is no reason... Dennis asked herself in her heart. But she couldn't get the answer. She is not the roundworm in Boris's belly. She doesn't know how to read minds and has no idea what this man is thinking. Everyone says that women's hearts are deep in the sea.
Needle, however, Boris's heart... Dennis has no way of knowing.
Could it be that he didn't want to continue like this? Dennis suddenly realized the problem...
Yes, it should be like this.
but……
She really couldn't bear it...
The queen struggled repeatedly in her heart. She mustered up the courage to go out of the palace to see him, but...but the dark palace and the long road made her lose her last courage...
