Chapter 296

To tell you the truth, the Ilus empire is hard enough for Victor's generation. There is no one.

849 years ago, in the order calendar year, the first chaotic invasion war ended. The Orlando Empire and the Kansas Empire merged into the Ilus Empire, and then unified the human kingdom.

At first, the Ilus empire was also a superpower that unified the human world. However, after 849 years, although the Empire still maintains its orthodox blood, it has only a false name after several divisions. Its economy is not as good as ronitant Kingdom, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as solant Kingdom and grace Kingdom, Even some small principalities were reluctant to continue to submit to tribute and turned to the embrace of the kingdom of solant and the kingdom of grace.

Had it not been for the Holy See of light in arlex, which gave it the name of the holy city, and the theocracy had confirmed the orthodox inheritance of Ilus's blood, the separated kingdoms would have been attacked according to their ambition.

The capital of the kingdom of saulant was later renamed hymn city. Klein saulant knew what he meant - and he never hid it.

He wants the strongest Empire to change its name to solant.

The above is a foreign invasion, but even in the Ilus Empire, there are internal worries.

Businessmen are demanding freer trade policies and more favorable market environment.

The nobles longed for more powerful power, more privileges and more resources.

Originally, balancing the privileges of businessmen and nobles was a very complicated thing, but now, the two sworn enemies of businessmen and nobles have united to lift the table and re-establish order.

What about the Royal faction? It's not peaceful.

The royal school itself is also divided into innovators and conservatives!

The reformers tried to conform to the trend of social development, take this opportunity to reform the society, completely ban slavery, weaken the power of imperial power (it must be said that they are changing their lives), reduce and reduce all kinds of heavy taxes, stimulate commercial activities to increase market vitality, so as to obtain the support of more businessmen.

The Conservatives do not want to change the social system. They prefer to continue to maintain the stability of imperial power and use privileges to attract the support of new nobles loyal to the royal family under their support, and even want the support of old nobles if possible.

It is worth mentioning that Princess Aurelia is the representative of the reformists, and the supporters are led by obery, the prince Gillard in the scar of the holy sword is the representative of the Conservatives, and the supporters are led by Adrian.

Of course, both oberli and Adrian are loyal supporters of the Royal School and have good personal relations. The reason why they support different schemes is purely due to the problem of ideas - can you expect Adrian, a dead brain who adheres to the Holy See's admonition, to understand the significance of innovation?

Victor is the insurance to maintain the stability of the two factions of the Royal faction. Before solving the major external contradictions, the internal contradictions of the Royal faction can be ignored.

Because of these complex situations, Victor, who is in a weak position, is surrounded by wolves. If he is not careful, he will completely overturn the Ilus Empire, which has been inherited for more than 800 years. Such a heavy burden is almost out of breath - he has been forced to a desperate situation.

So Victor was very hard.

So when he received the Oracle, the whole person was different.

Donne, in his eyes, is the hope of saving the Ilus empire.

"Old Tom, have you arranged the dinner?"

"Of course, the irrelevant personnel have been dispersed, and the distinguished guests have arrived. They are waiting for you."

"Very good."

Victor breathed a sigh of relief: "you can come with me and give me some advice."

Old Tom shook his head: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, even if you trust me very much, some secrets should still be kept from me. This is the emperor. Your trust will certainly make me grateful, but it will also make the enemy see. My old bone may not be able to withstand the enemy's confession."

Victor was stunned and said with a bitter smile, "well, I was negligent. Then you go back."

Old Tom nodded slightly and left silently.

"Can't even old Tom be trusted... Who else can I trust in this castle?"

Victor sighed. Old Tom's meaning was obvious. Now someone around him was staring at him. His trust in him was forcing him to die.

Victor dispelled his thoughts, changed into casual clothes, and then called queen OLINA to the banquet hall.

"Baron Donne, I've kept you waiting."

Victor, with a smile on his face, couldn't see the sadness just now: "Albury Aiqing, sister, Adrian Aiqing, please feel free. Now there are only ourselves here."

Victor, is this a positive recognition that Donne is his own?

Obery and Adrian looked at each other and stood up. Parola was Victor's sister. Of course, there was no need to salute.

At this time, Victor saw the beautiful and unspeakable dignified beauties beside aurelia, and his eyes lit up. Even without looking at the sharp ears, he could guess that these were the guests of the elf family.

Victor greeted him with a smile: "I'm Victor Ilus, the king of this country, and this is my queen OLINA. It's a great honor to meet all distinguished guests from the elves."

"Hello, king and queen of mankind."

Alice, they got up and nodded, "the goddess is with you."

Donne is the first time to see queen OLINA. She is worthy of being Aurelia's mother. Although she is nearly 40 years old, she is well maintained and still looks young and beautiful - after all, she is the queen of a country. Of course, those good things that keep her youth can be used.

"What are you looking at?"

Aurelia stared at Donne: "that's rude!"

Donne looked back and nodded. "Well, it looks like it's carved out of a mold. You and your mother are so beautiful."

So Aurelia immediately turned her anger into joy: "you have eyes."

On the surface, they are very harmonious, but in their hearts

Oh.

Donne sighed faintly. She is really a princess who is easy to deceive

Does this guy think I'm so easy to coax as those empty, lonely and cold noblewomen?

Aurelia sneered in her heart.

"Please take your seats. You're welcome tonight. There are no outsiders here. They are all our own. We can have a good drink."

Victor took OLINA first, and then the others took their seats in turn.

The seating order of these people is very interesting. Victor's left hand side is followed by his sister parola, his brother-in-law, the Duke of obery, the Duke of Adrian, Erica, and then Elsa and Elia.

On OLINA's right are princess aurelia, Donne and Fiona, followed by Grandia, Ellie, dantrian and Sanye.

Yes, as victor said, tonight's banquet has nothing to do with monarchs and ministers, only their own people, and the order of seating is also arranged by distant and close relatives.

So obery and Adrian looked thoughtfully at Donne, whose seat was next to Princess aurelia.

If Victor had hidden something at the beginning, with the deepening of mutual cooperation, Victor showed more and more attention to Donne.

As a baron, you can get a count leader, not to mention that you can go to the palace again and again to talk about various cooperation plans with Victor, and you can also get absolute support - obery and Adrian even have a feeling that Victor has stronger trust in Donne than they do.

Why?

"Why should I sit here!"

Victor was stunned. Unexpectedly, just sitting down, someone was dissatisfied.

Take a closer look. Isn't that the little girl next to Donne?

Victor smiled, "where do you want to sit?"

"There!"

Elia pointed to Aurelia's position impolitely: "I want to change with her! I want to sit next to my big brother! I want my big brother to feed me!"

Princess Aurelia's eyes jumped. If the other party wasn't a child, she suspected that it was deliberately stimulating her

"Elia, stop it."

Elsa said quickly, "forget what mother said before you came? Be obedient."

"But I just want to sit next to my big brother!"

Elia said wrongfully, "and, sister Elsa, don't you want to sit next to your big brother?"

Feeling that several lines of sight suddenly fell on her face, Elsa blushed: "no, don't talk nonsense."

"There is!"

Elia said righteously, "when I went to bed last night, I heard my sister crying in the quilt - no, no, no!"

Elsa covered Elia's mouth, blushed and said awkwardly, "Elia must have been confused. Well, yes, it must be so. Ha ha ha..."

Fiona's eyes are more and more strange. Recently, I haven't seen how Donne and Elsa make private contact. Why Elsa is getting deeper and deeper?

No, there seem to be more and more enemies. Should we think of something?

"Ha ha, children have no taboos."

Victor took a swipe at the corners of his mouth. Unexpectedly, he could hear Donne's lacy news after dinner. He smiled and asked, "but Elia, there are only two positions around Baron Donne. Why don't you change with Fiona?"

"Oh, no!"

Elia stared, pointed and covered her hand. Elsa stared at her and then let her go.

"Hoo! I almost suffocated!"

Elia took a big breath, and then said righteously, "because sister Fiona is very kind to me, of course, I can't grab her position! I don't know that big sister, I don't care!"

Well said!

Fiona silently praised her. She was better to Elia at ordinary times. She did a lot of good.

This little girl

Aurelia was angry, but she couldn't be angry with children, so

"Baron Donne."

Aurelia said with a warm smile, "I think you'd better change your position - don't you think it's a good position next to Elia?"

Don Enzuo looked and looked, silently got up and sat down next to Elia.

The spoiled Laurie should be raised with tears.
