"I really don't understand...a little girl who doesn't understand anything dares to lose her temper on the throne of the Grand Duke..."

"Damn it, Longxiao City can't go on like this..."

"Hey, guess what, if she grows up another year, will she growl and order us to find a nice dress for her?"

"Like I said, she, like other women, owes a whip from her husband..."

"Look at her thin arms. She can't even lift a sword, so she dares..."

The voices in the hall were mixed, one after another, and the noise forced Nicolai to speak seriously again to maintain order.

Listening to the rumors in his ears, Thales gradually frowned.

But Thelma still held her head high and looked at her vassals without any sign of weakness. She glanced in a certain direction in the hall and took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind.

"What if I insist?"

Thelma glanced at Hester with a complex look, then glanced at the aggressive Count Linna with difficulty, and then cleared her throat, "If I insist in the name of the Grand Duchess of Longxiao City... No, I order: I

My marriage will not be decided here and will not be decided because of this matter."

In an inconspicuous corner, Thales raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Yes.

It was the little lioness who puffed out her cheeks, blushed, lifted up her skirt, and kicked his leg bones hard.

I don’t know when...

"Everyone, if this is the case..."

The Grand Duchess's voice echoed in the hall: "What will happen to you?"

As soon as this statement came out, nothing seemed to change in the hall.

But Thales felt inexplicably that the temperature around the six seats beside the Grand Duke seemed to have suddenly dropped!

All the counts turned their heads together, their eyes fixed on one person.

Regency of Lisbane.

It seems like he is the source of everything.

But the Grand Duchess once again exceeded their expectations.

"Please don't look at Charles anymore, everyone," Thelma's voice trembled slightly, like a branch moving under the snow in the cold wind: "He never taught me to say this."

Lisban was stunned.

Count Nazaire's gaze slowly froze in mid-air, fixed on the Grand Duchess's hand holding the arm of the seat.

"Very good," he said softly after a few seconds, "You surprised me a little."

Thelma took a deep breath and felt that Nazer's strange gaze had a magical power that penetrated people's hearts.

But the strange color in Nazer's eyes only lasted for a short while, and he returned to his original seriousness and indifference, as if the accident brought by the Grand Duchess just now was really just an accident.

Count Linna next to him snorted softly

"You are the Grand Duke, and your power in Longxiao City is naturally supreme."

"But the question is, are you really ready?" Earl Linna's tone was emotionless, but he spoke with key words: "If you want to be here, you will have to abandon your vassals because of this matter, and you will be left alone."

, dominate Longxiao City?"

Turn your back on your vassals...

Lonely and alone...

This sentence made the atmosphere in the hall more and more tense.

But Count Linna still looked at the Grand Duchess on the steps with an expressionless face.

Thelma's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth: "Count Linna, what are you..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Earl Hester, who had always been friendly, spoke.

He raised his hands towards both parties and spoke first as if to break up the fight: "Madam, Count Linner, I think we should all be cold..."

This time, Earl Hester was interrupted by Linna's ruthless words:

"We all know your blind thoughts, Lord Hester!"

"But don't 'teach me' how to do it. That power belongs only to the late King Nun."

Thales sighed: Although Linna said this to Earl Hester, his eyes remained on the Grand Duchess.

The pressure on Selma became even heavier.

Hester's golden beard twitched.

A few seconds later, the Earl of Iron County, who had eaten the nail, turned cold and did not answer any more words.

Calm returned to the hall.

Only Thales and Ian were paying attention to the development of the situation with completely different moods.

The Grand Duke's face was as dark as water.

The vassals' eyes were like swords.

Soon, Count Nazaire sighed and rejoined the conversation:

"That's a real pity, ma'am."

"Of course, as a count, I am unable to oppose or even block your decision."

Like a slightly disappointed old man, Nazer shook his head and said softly: "But of course I am just I will still advise you, and even use actions to advise you. In the face of the crisis of the Freedom Alliance, in this battle between Qiyuan City and the Black

In the duel at Sand Collar, we'd better protect ourselves wisely."

Thelma held her breath unconsciously and frowned.

"Suggestion? Action? Protect yourself wisely?" The Grand Duchess's arms stiffened: "What do you mean?"

Nazer looked at her indifferently and did not answer.

Thales exhaled from his nose unconsciously.

Well done, Thelma.

We are close.

Close.

In this game, complete the most important connection:

War, and marriage.

We will win.

Lisban on the opposite side chuckled disdainfully: "So, you, Nazer and even the many vassals who are dissatisfied with not being able to interfere in the marriage of the lord, before the crisis of the Free Alliance, you must refuse the lady's call and refuse.

Gather your troops, even..."

"Like many of the vassals of the Black Sand Territory and the grand dukes of other territories, just like they resisted King Charmaine and refused to pay taxes to the lady?"

Nazer paid no attention to him.

Count Curterson, who had always been straightforward, narrowed his eyes, looked at the Grand Duchess, raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course I hope it won't turn out like that, ma'am."

"But many times, we can't help ourselves."

Thelma's expression changed.

"The purpose of sending troops to the Freedom Alliance is to safeguard the honor of the Walton family, which your ancestors swore allegiance to."

"If we stand by and watch the war of the Freedom Alliance and refuse Qiyuan City's request for help, then whether we, as the Grand Duke of Longxiao City, or you, as the princes of Longxiao City..." the Grand Duke gritted her teeth and said coldly.

typical:

"We will all become laughing stock: whether it is a weak girl who cannot even defend the name of her father and ancestors, or a Northlander who is timid and cowardly and dare not face the defeated generals of the past!"

The other four earls, whether it was the ruthless Curtson, the heart-wrenching Linner, the taciturn Kierkegaard, or the gentle and courteous Hester, they all turned their eyes away and avoided Seth.

Erma's sight.

Only Count Nazaire looked at the Grand Duchess with eyes, and sighed helplessly: "During six years of internal strife and disaster, Longxiao City is already crumbling. Refusing to send troops may harm the Walton family and us.

It’s a reputation, but it’s a good way to ensure that we don’t sink in this whirlpool.”

Lisban on the side snorted coldly, quite disdainfully.

The Grand Duchess gritted her teeth: "You know, Count Nazer, and you, you all know that we must send troops! Even if it is not for the Dragonlance family, not to assist Qiyuan City, but just to suppress the king's ambition,

Don’t let us drift in the whirlpool within the kingdom!”

"This is also for Longxiao City!"

But the next moment, old Nazer's voice suddenly rose, interrupting Selma's words!

"Then, for the sake of Longxiao City, why can't you understand?"

Thelma was startled.
