She Is Not a Witch Chapter 98: Ask for help in the north
Titaniya, Rose Palace.
Queen Lily Esther is sitting in front of the vanity mirror, asking several maids to comb her hair and dress her up. This week's Empire Conference will be held in half an hour, and she will also appear.
Although it was regarded as a vase queen by many great nobles, because of the assistance of the regent, the majesty of the royal family is still there today.
"Okay?" Lily looked at herself in the mirror. The three gorgeous red dresses layered together set off her figure. Maybe it wasn't really stunning at first, but under this graceful dress, she gradually gave her a kind of luxurious temperament.
Clothes can indeed change a person's spiritual temperament.
Lily stood up with her skirt, feeling a little in her heart, and then picked up the child on the side of the bed, and walked out of the palace with the maids.
The magnificent imperial hall is tall and magnificent. The sun shines through the glass windows with stitching patterns, and a little dust can be seen floating in the air.
The irregular polygons on these glass windows are easily reminiscent of butterfly wings, and the vine carvings on the edges of the windows are also full of fairy style. As a country co-founded by humans and elves, many of Titaniya’s buildings still retain the fantasy and magnificent style of the early days.
The heavy and large door was slowly pushed open by the court knights, and then aristocratic officials in formal wear gradually entered the arena.
After they all stood still, the court waiter called out. Soon after two rows of brightly armored red guards entered the hall, they separated the two sides, separating the nobles from the middle road.
"Your Majesty the Queen is here~"
"Your Majesty the Regent is here~"
Then the graceful red queen entered the hall, and walking with her was Prince Edward in military uniform.
After the two were seated on two thrones, the court ceremonial officer began to preside over the meeting.
As usual, first the officials informed everyone in the lobby of the recent news from various places, and then they talked about their proposals and ideas. During this period, some people agree and disagree, and both sides will tell their respective reasons. If they refuse to make concessions, it will be up to the queen or the regent to decide.
"Your Majesty the beautiful queen, your honorable prince, comes from the north of the empire, the remote cold leaf collar."
After the ceremonial officer was called, a knight in black iron armor entered the hall. Of course, his weapon was left outside at this time, and his helmet was also taken off.
"Please get up." After receiving a response, the knight raised his head, showing a square face under his short black hair. He was about 30 years old, with a little beard and traces of wind and frost on his face. Look It was a long journey.
After curtsy, the knight stood up, first introduced his identity, and then said his request.
"Because of the continuous heavy snow in the north, there is now less and less food in the territory, so Master Tucson sent me to wait south, hoping to get help from the empire."
He said calmly according to the words he had memorized last night, while the two companions beside him were still nervous and bowed their heads.
Not every nobleman has the opportunity to enter here, and it is the first time they have seen so many nobles. Besides, the two sitting above can easily decide their life and death, and it is hard not to be nervous.
However, in the few seconds of waiting, before the two majesty spoke, a lanky nobleman stood up first.
"I know you are having difficulties, but this is the 22nd time this month I have received similar news and requests."
"The matter in the northern part of the empire is currently under preparation, so please come back, and we will inform you if there is progress later." This old man in a blue dress is Earl Diesel. In the past, the red-minded minister beside Emank was also the former imperial minister of the court.
The people in the hall have seen such scenes many times in the past six months. At first, a few nobles who cared about face would donate part of the supplies symbolically, but now batches after batches, and even duplicates, are coming, and they are slowly cooling down.
Sympathy is not endless. They are tired of the crying content.
"It's so boring..." Gu
"As everyone knows about the North, several batches of aid have been sent."
"We have nothing good to do, this is a natural disaster, right."
"For this, I can only wish them patience, and now everyone has a hard time."
For a while, a low voice of discussion sounded in the hall, and after a while, the crisp copper bell in the hall was rang, and the scene fell silent again.
"I feel the same about the disasters and sufferings in the Northern Territory. Now the empire is also thinking of ways, and will give some help and support later." Edron said the same words as before, followed by a code on his side. The official Yi stepped forward and began to let the next messenger into the hall.
"But..." The knight wanted to say more, but the companions beside him saw the situation and pulled him, so that he stopped the words and retired in obedience.
When a few people walked out of the hall and came outside the palace, the knight spoke.
"Why don't you let me say, do you know the current situation in the territory?"
"We know, Heitlin." The companion beside him said, and the others stopped.
"But you are still a little impulsive. If I wasn't holding you just now, I'm afraid you were already complaining."
The black knight was silent for a while, and then said: "Yes."
"But that will only make the scene embarrassing. We are already in a state of asking for help. Don't offend those big people anymore."
"I know, I understand, but—" He paused.
"This is the best opportunity right now. If we are allowed to purchase food by ourselves, the money will definitely not be enough~IndoMTL.com~ He shook his fist with a little bit of resentment in his heart, but he didn't know how to vent it. .
"Finally, let us figure out our own way."
Several people shook their heads and walked out the gate of the palace a little desolately.
That night, the Rose Palace where Lily was.
After taking a shower, Lily sat in the study, where Emank used to be. The room was heated by the alchemy circle. Even in October, she didn't feel cold.
Wearing a loose nightdress, Lily looked at the page in her hand. This is the list and information of the messengers who have recently come to the imperial capital. In addition to her, there are two maids in the room, one of them is shaking the crib, the other is standing beside Lily.
"The situation in the north has become worse and worse recently." Lily sighed while looking at the report on the paper. She saw what happened during the day, but did not speak.
"Yes, Your Majesty. But now there is not much surplus food in the treasury. If you open your mouth again, I am afraid that more people will ask for it." The maid reminded the queen to prevent her from abruptly. Send kindness.
"I understand, alas..." Lily put down the paper.
Since the defeat of the empire, all revenues and expenditures have begun to shrink, and some of the great nobles that were suppressed have also begun to resurface. Although there is still harmony on the surface, it is hard to say in the dark.
Even she, the queen in the deep palace, has heard a lot of news now.
Emak’s throne was not right, and the Ansel brothers were the orthodox heirs of the empire.
These nobles care not so much about the legitimacy of the throne, but rather express their hatred after being deprived of power. Over the years, Aymank’s policies have offended many nobles and caused them to lose their interests.
The dead brothers of the crown prince are just the most suitable banner for making a fuss.
