What to do?

Thales lowered his head silently and did not speak.

what to do?

To solve the current predicament... we must pay a corresponding price.

The issue is……

Is it necessary to take that step?

That's...

Earl Hester looked at the expression of the Grand Duchess, shook his golden beard, and frowned: "I think it's feasible."

Thelma gritted her teeth.

"Charles," she said with difficulty to the last earl, "do you agree?"

"Madam," Regent Lisban looked at the girl seriously: "This is the best thing to do at the moment."

"Countless people will rush to the battlefield for you, so you must consider the war and their lives."

"No problem," Ian came out at this time, his eyes lit up, he coughed slightly, and smiled again: "Qiyuan City will welcome His Royal Highness to visit."

Thales clenched his fists.

He raised his head and looked at Thelma nervously, waiting for her response.

Thelma also looked back at him hesitantly, and their eyes met in the air.

Thales sighed and shook his head gently.

No.

Selma.

Don't, don't do it just because of this...

After a few seconds, the Grand Duchess's expression became firm again.

She also shook her head at Thales.

Thales was shocked: he understood the other party's response.

No.

No……

"No!"

The Grand Duchess raised her head suddenly!

"Tiles, he must stay in Longxiao City! Stay in the Palace of Heroes!"

Thelma's expression was firm and she said categorically: "And I promise, I promise to write a letter to King Kessel in person to remind him that his heir is still with us, and to take all means to ensure that the Kingdom of Stars will not pose a threat to our war.

"

Thales closed his eyes.

The faces of the vassals all changed.

They looked at their female monarch with unfamiliar and dissatisfied eyes.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to be back before Ian proposed.

Thales let out a long sigh.

Selma.

You are like this...

This will make our previous efforts...

well.

Thales opened his eyes gently.

He made several gestures to Rolf behind him.

【Go.】

Sui Feng Zhi Gui was slightly startled. He looked nervously at all the unkind looks in the hall, but still bowed slightly and left, leaning against the wall.

Thales breathed out.

In the end, is it still coming to this point?

His fists were shaking.

"Well, madam, your relationship with him and this Prince of the Stars is really good," Monty sneered: "It's just like the rumors."

These words seemed to add fuel to the fire, making the atmosphere in the hall more solemn and serious.

Lisban saw that the atmosphere on the court was getting worse and worse. He coughed quickly and interrupted the Dead Crow: "Madam, I don't like to say this, but..."

But someone interrupted the regent faster.

"For the love of the gods, you said 'no' a lot to this."

Opposite Lisban, Count Nazaire frowned and spoke slowly.

"As the ruler, madam, you certainly have the right to say 'no' and force us to carry out your will."

The old count spoke word by word, as if he cherished every letter in his words.

"But please remember, every time you say something, you have to pay a price."

"It's just that some costs are visible, and some are invisible," Count Nazaire said calmly under the astonished eyes of the Grand Duchess. "Unless you have the ability to fool your people again and again, otherwise, these prices will be much higher.

One day, it will accumulate into a huge debt that even a noble person like you cannot repay."

Thelma raised her hands under her sleeves and said with an ugly expression: "Count Nazaire..."

Nazer did not let the girl have a chance to speak, but continued to say his words sentence by sentence.

Among the six earls, Nazaire's words were not as soothing as Risban's, not as gentle and polite as Earl Hurst, not as harsh and sharp as Earl Linner, not as mean and unpleasant as Curtson, and not as shocking as Kierkegaard's.

It is powerful, but it seems to contain a special power that cannot be denied.

It makes people feel moved.

"And that's what we're talking about, ma'am."

"Those are the soldiers of Longxiao City," Nazer said softly, "The decisions we make here are related to their lives."

"Do you really understand the cost of saying 'no' here?"

Thelma was stunned.

"Those are the sons of countless mothers, the husbands of countless wives, and the fathers of countless daughters." The old earl spoke very slowly, but every word made the vassals consciously listen quietly, "They, these northern

People leave their homeland and go to other places in order to respond to your call."

Thelma's breathing was messed up. She looked at Nazaire blankly and felt as if there were thousands of pounds of rocks weighing down from the air.

Nazer raised his head gently and said slowly: "No matter what the reason is, you should not ignore the people who are loyal to you for the sake of an outsider, a hostage of an enemy country."

"And the price of doing this..."

He looked directly at the Grand Duchess with lucid eyes: "Maybe it will chill the hearts of your people and all those who are willing to fight for you, and thus they will ignore you and their rulers."

As soon as these words came out, the vassals looked at Thelma in a different way.

Selma, on the other hand, stared blankly at the count, dripping with cold sweat and trembling lips.

I saw old Count Nazaire sighing slowly: "Until one day, the debt accumulated by these costs exceeds the favor you and your family have given us, and exceeds our loyalty to you and your family."

"At that time, no one will be willing to fight for you anymore."

"Is not it?"

The hall became quiet and no one spoke anymore.

In the corner, Thales closed his eyes expressionlessly and shook his head slowly.
