Dido glanced at Daves’s expression, and felt hopeful, and immediately said: "We want southern Iberia to become the free city of Dionia, just like—"
Daves interrupted her without hesitation, and resolutely said: "Southern Iberia can only be completely integrated into Dionia and be directly governed by the kingdom. There is no other choice! If not, we would rather Choose war! Regardless of whether southern Iberia is ruled by you or occupied by Iberian natives, no matter how much we pay, we must make it the territory of Dionia!"
Dido didn't expect Daves to directly seal the words, and there was no room for maneuver. For a while, he panicked and didn't know what to say.
"It seems that you have nothing to talk about." Daves sighed softly and said, "As a woman, you dare to come here alone to negotiate. You are really brave and very unwilling. Easy, I allow you to visit your relatives, and then go back..."
At this moment, Hernipolis, who was next to him, reminded: "Your Majesty, Master Stacey Cordas said that Marge is seriously injured and needs quiet treatment. I don't want anyone to disturb--"
"My father...he...what about him?!" When Dido heard this, he asked in a hurry.
"On the day of the Battle of Silinus, your father Margo was shot in the face with an arrow by the flustered Numibians. When we found him, he was almost dead, thanks to our doctor. I tried my best to rescue, and then I was out of danger, but I have been unconscious..." Hernipolis said softly with a sympathetic expression.
"King Daves, I want to visit right away...My father! I hope you can approve!..." Dido said with a trembling tears in his eyes.
"...Okay." Daves hesitated for a while, and then said to Hernipolis: "Go and talk to Stacey Cordas, just say it's me, let this girl Visit her father."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hernipolis stood up, walked to Dido, and said softly, "Come with me."
Dido wiped away his tears, stood up, and bowed deeply to Daves respectfully.
About 10 minutes later, Hernipolis returned.
After listening to his account of Dido's visit to Margot, Daves suddenly asked: "How old is this Margot's daughter?"
Henipolis was taken aback, looked at Daves, and his heart suddenly changed: Does your majesty have taken a fancy to her, right?
But he said quickly: "Serofennis told me about her before. Let me think about it... Uh, it seems that it’s not 23? It’s 24..."
"A little older." Daves' response stunned Hernipolis, but he saw the King Dionia tapping his finger on the back of the chair, his eyes far away, and what he was thinking about, completely Did not look at the happy expression of a woman.
………………………………………
Dido visited her comatose father, but did not ask to visit Hasdruba again, because she understood the cousin's violent temper, and might quarrel with herself after she knew her reason for coming here.
After a painful thought at noon, Dido made up his mind to see Davers again and was approved.
Dido, who once again entered the living room, did not walk in the same mess as she left in the morning. She regained her mood and recovered her previous composure. After thanking Davers, she said bluntly: "Holy Davor King S, if I agree to your request to allow southern Iberia to be fully integrated into the Kingdom of Dionian, how will you settle the people and officials there? And... how will you treat those captured by you and from Soldiers and generals in southern Iberia?"
Daves did not answer immediately. He looked at Dido and asked seriously: "It is a very important matter for the people of southern Iberia to join the Kingdom of Dionia. Decision, will the people and officials there recognize the agreement you finally signed?"
"The colony of southern Iberia is actually ruled by our Magonis family." Dido raised his head, with pride on his face, and said in an unquestionable tone: "I can assure you, When I went to Dionia, I got all the powers granted by all the direct members of the Magonyd family. Any decision I make here will be recognized by them!"
Davers lightly chins his head and said with a serious face: "If you take the initiative to join the Kingdom of Dionian, the people of southern Iberia will immediately become Dionian citizens and enjoy the benefits of Dionian citizens. With all rights and obligations, the Margonides family can recommend several members to become the elders of the kingdom after being reviewed by the Dionian Senate.
Officials in southern Iberia continue to perform their duties, but at the same time they have to learn Dionian laws and adapt to the Dionian Kingdom system. After a year, they will be assessed before deciding whether to stay or promote... …What I said is just a rough idea, and the specific details need to be worked out through negotiation. But now there is a problem..."
Davers looked embarrassed: "After your father led the army to land in Sicily, he successively burned the three friendly allies of Dionia, Minoa, Agrigento, and Gela. These days, this The remnants of several city-states sent representatives to demand severe punishment for the culprits who destroyed their hometowns.
The worse situation is...Your father also let the army burn down all the villages in the Kingdom Territory-Catania Plain, and kill the people of the Kingdom. Even after capturing the city of Palagonia, your father cruelly ordered that all the captured Dionian soldiers be tortured!
I once stood on the ruins of Paragonia, facing all the Dionian soldiers who expedition to Sicily, and swore an oath to avenge these soldiers who were tortured and killed! According to the testimony of the captured Carthage soldiers, Margot and Hasdruba were the chief culprits of this tragedy!
So in accordance with the requirements of the friendly envoy and fulfilling my oath, even if southern Iberia becomes the territory of Dionia and the other captured Iberian soldiers are released, the two of them will continue to be imprisoned. Until he was severely punished! "
As soon as Dido heard that his father might be put to death, he immediately retorted in frustration, "How can I blame my father! This is war! War! Your Dionian army has not been raging in western Sicily? Destroying and killing civilians! Your fleet also landed in Africa, slaughtered and burned Hadrummentum! According to what you just said, as the commander of the Dionian army, should you also be avenged by the Carthaginians? !"
Daves was not irritated by her indiscretion, he touched his jaw and said lightly: "Unfortunately, Dionia is the winner now."
Suddenly, Dido’s words were suffocating, but she then roared even more angrily: “Since you don’t plan to release my relatives, then our Magonis family will never surrender even if they all die in battle. Dionia!"
Dido glared at Daves, who looked calm.
At this time, Hernipolis interjected: "Your Majesty, the Magonis family of Carthage has decided to submit to the kingdom and become citizens of Dioria. This will allow us to end this war sooner. This is a good thing. But why do you have to punish the patriarch of the Magonyd family?!"
Davers hesitated for a moment, and said in a slightly awkward voice: "I once made a promise to Hades in public, how can I go back..."
Dido is a devout believer of the Carthaginian **** Tanit. When she heard this, she felt even more desperate, because she knew that Hades was the protector of the Kingdom of Dionia. It is said that God has appeared many times. Trace, how dare King Dionia betray the oath!
Henipolis said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea so that you can safely release Margot and Hasdruba without being punished by Hades."
Daveston came to the spirit: "Oh, tell me!"
Dido also looked at the elegant Dionian official, hoping that he could really come up with a good idea to relieve the predicament of this matter.
Henipolis did not immediately say a solution, but smiled at Dido and asked: "Are you engaged?"
Dido was taken aback. He didn't expect him to say such a thing. Then she became angry and shy and came to her heart. She just wanted to have an attack.
Henipolis then said with a serious face: "This matter is very important. It is related to your father's life and death. You'd better answer truthfully."
When he mentioned his father, Dido nodded subconsciously: "No."
The patriarch of the Carthage Magonis family has an unmarried elder daughter. This is a well-known thing. Now it is confirmed that she is not engaged. Hernipolis is determined and immediately confronts her. Firth said: "Your Majesty, Dido, the only protagonist of the patriarch of the Carthage Magonis family, is noble and talented. His Majesty Cloto Catacs, as your majesty, is young and promising and has not yet been married. I am willing to be the golden arrow in the hands of Eros, as a matchmaker for the two young people, and let them become a husband and wife.
In this way, Dido will become your daughter-in-law, and Marge will become your in-laws. You are the descendants of the **** Hades. Hades should regard them as your relatives. Forgive you for breaking your oath. "
Speaking of this, Hernipolis turned around and said to Dido: "Furthermore, if you become your majesty’s daughter-in-law, you can also allow the Iberian people and the Magonis family to join the kingdom with confidence, because As a member of the Royal Family of Dionia, you are more capable of caring and taking care of them, and will not cause them to suffer injustice..."
Daves rubbed his jaw and said with a certain heart: "Well... this method sounds good, it is good for Dionia and for the colonies of southern Iberian... I think Crotoka The kid Tucks should not object to..."
