Don't confiscate my citizenship

Even though the war had been over for three days.

Recalling the dangerous battle three days ago, or the life-and-death battle in Valhalla Canyon about 300 kilometers outside the eastern border of the Kingdom of Alolan three months ago, or even longer...

What made him feel distant was not the length of time, but two or three irreversible things.

"Alas."

All Loren's thousands of words could only turn into this sigh.

It really hurt him.

He looked out the window on the second floor of the Wenxi Freedom Memorial Palace.

On the Royal Avenue in the north district of Blierda, golden sunlight sprinkled through the stained glass and illuminated the square in front of the palace.

The guards were dressed in bright red uniforms, holding spears, and guarding the road to the palace without looking away.

Inside the palace, there was a busy scene.

The servants shuttled back and forth in the marble corridor, delivering piles of official documents.

The dignitaries and ministers of Blierda were all serious, arguing fiercely in the conference room.

In an office with a carved wooden door closed in the west wing of the second floor, the new monarch, Emperor Loren Klantel, was writing furiously.

His brown hair hung down on his forehead, covering his slightly tired blue eyes.

The black tea on the desk had already cooled down, and the documents on the side were piled up like a mountain.

Three days ago, after being crowned, he began to be busy and exhausted.

The Wenxi Freedom Memorial Palace is located at the west end of the Royal Avenue in Blierda, the capital of Cremona, next to the Wenxi Throne Mountain.

It is the official residence of the Cremona monarch and one of the three palaces currently in use in Blierda. Compared with the Saint Astri Palace in the center of Blierda, this mansion is more for more casual diplomatic affairs.

At this moment, the Saint Astri Palace still needs time to be rebuilt, and the Wenxi Freedom Memorial Palace has become the temporary official residence of the new emperor.

It originally originated from another peace memorial monastery donated by the princes' alliance to Blildar, where the Moon Monastery is located, during the period of the Wenxi Free Federation hundreds of years ago. Later, after the Seros Empire, the Elsaya Sanctuary, and the Wenxi Free Federation were unified, and Blildar became the capital of the Creel Empire, this extra ancient monastery was converted into a royal palace.

It consists of four wings surrounding the central courtyard. It adopts the "fairness, justice, and respect" style of the Wenxi Free Federation princes. The exterior walls are decorated with classical columns. The north wing is the oldest part, with important rooms such as the royal banquet hall, bedroom, morning prayer chapel, and dinner room. The other wings are used as living spaces for royal family members.

Loren is in the west wing at this moment.

The door of his office was suddenly knocked.

"Please come in."

"Your Majesty, the embassy has sent new diplomatic documents. The Minister of Finance hopes to discuss the budget, and..."

The secretary poked his head out of the door and started talking about official business as soon as he entered the door.

"I see. Please put it here."

Loren pointed to the table. He had just finished reviewing a document and then unfolded a map.

He was born in the Kingdom of Hedon, his hometown, as a small border noble. In his youth, he began to travel around in order not to become a lord who was busy with busy affairs all day. Later, what he saw and heard along the way made him a real priest. Now, in the end, he felt like he was back again.

It is unpredictable before it happens and unchangeable after it happens. This is fate.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the envoys from the Kingdom of Hedon are waiting for you in the east wing of the Palace of Sutras."

The secretary finally said to Loren.

The envoys of the allied countries should have arranged their time to come to Blierda in the next period of time, but the Kingdom of Hedon happened to have a powerful person with enough say in Blierda, so they were directly appointed as envoys and could handle official business before returning home.

Oh, by the way, it seems that Your Majesty is also a Hedon person, so it's not surprising.

The secretary suddenly thought.

"Is it Mi Gaiya... Duke?"

Loren looked up and asked as if he remembered something.

He was like a prisoner who had been in jail for a long time and finally had someone to watch over him.

I wanted to call Mi Gaiya by her name, but now I think it's more appropriate to call her formally, after all, she is a great noble who came to envoy the country.

"Your Majesty, I'm here and waiting in the reception room."

The secretary bowed.

"I'll be there right away."

Loren stood up, straightened his wrinkled clothes, took a deep breath, and walked out of the office quickly.

He walked through the long corridor.

The southeast tower is four stories high and is the highest point of the palace. The palace's ancillary buildings, including the monastery ruins and the Royal Oak, can be overlooked from here. At the same time, this is also the best place to meet guests.

Loren soon arrived in front of a bright reception room in the east wing.

Push open the door.

The faces of three old friends came into view.

"I said the Cinderella chapter of the Holy War Romance is very good, especially the scene where the Governor was knocked down by his sister's shoes. Hehe, I laughed so hard..."

"I think the most unexpected thing is the mechanical dance of the cat fairy, but why did the actor quit and said he would never act in the second part?"

The Duke Migaiya with black hair and black eyes and the Duchess with silver hair and red eyes sat on the embroidered sofa, holding tea cups and chatting.

The ice witch Artemis stood by the window and turned around when she heard the voice.

"Loren, long time no see."

Artemis greeted Loren.

Strictly speaking, they had met three days ago, but they had no chance to meet in the past three days.

But they didn't say anything when they met three days ago. It might be three months since they last met.

"Come on, Loren."

"Loren!"

Migaia and Ifatia also stood up and saluted.

They had known Loren since Ikerite.

"Ifatia, you haven't changed in more than ten years."

Loren smiled and waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.

These two people deliberately saluted him to annoy him.

"Don't you think Migaia hasn't changed much?"

Ifatia turned sideways and stood on tiptoe, with her hands on Migaia's cheek, observing her husband.

Migaia is now in his thirties, but in fact he still looks the same as in his twenties.

"Yeah, his other appearance probably won't change much either."

Loren sat down on the sofa and motioned Artemis to sit down as well.

After a brief chat, Loren talked about past and current political affairs with his three old friends.

Although the topic was heavy, Loren's tense nerves finally relaxed a little when he was with his best friend.

The morning sun shone on them through the French windows, illuminating their worried faces and revealing a bit of warmth.

Loren knew that in addition to the burden of being a monarch, he also had friends to accompany him and face difficult challenges together.

The time of heart-to-heart conversation in the past may be difficult to reproduce, but the moment of joy at this moment will also be the driving force to support him through the difficulties.

Anyway, after consultation with the Kremen Empire, Loren will be the Great Loren Klantel in the Empire for at least one year until the situation is stabilized. If he doesn't want to be the emperor in the future, Princess Alexia of the Silver Moon Reform Society can succeed the emperor of the Kremen Empire as the legitimate successor of Cyrus.

Although Alexia has the trust of several military gods, is a core member of the Silver Moon Reform Society, and is the legitimate successor who can pick up the Sword of the Heroic Spirit of Seros, it is not only the chaos in Cremona, but the situation in the entire southern continent is even more complicated. It is difficult for Alexia to take over this mess. She needs a strong man comparable to Hecintos, with enough international prestige and domestic deterrence, to quickly solve the problem.

"What is this... I am a priest who has sworn to the goddess of fate long ago, how can I become the emperor of the Cremon Empire?"

After Loren finished talking about the business, he pinched his eyebrows. In the past two days, when he fell asleep in the palace, he would open his eyes and think about life. He still felt it was too magical.

He had vowed long ago that he would dedicate his life to the goddess of fate, become her sword to fight evil, and become her hand to save misfortune.

Besides, he is not an orthodox emperor. He is essentially a Hedon, not even a Cremon.

It was all forced to support by the military gods and the powerful people of Cremorne.

"..."

Mi Gaiya and Ifatia looked at each other, not knowing how to apologize to Loren.

The only honest person in the team, and the only one who was not informed of the plan, is now sitting on the throne and sighing.

The current situation is indeed that the Cremorne Empire requires Loren to be the emperor, and Loren cannot refuse this responsibility that only he can take for the peace of the southern continent, even if this responsibility does not belong to him.

"I asked the goddess of fate, and she has no objection."

The Ice Witch could only comfort her in this way.

She used divine arts to predict.

"..."

Can the goddess of fate speak?

Ifatia wanted to ask this, but felt that asking it out would be a bit treasonous.

Mi Gaiya glanced at Ifatia, and he felt that Ifatia's idea was very treasonous.

"By the way, Florence is still waiting for you."

The Ice Witch added to Loren.

When mentioning the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, we have to mention another colleague of hers and Loren, that is, Florence, the Paladin Leader of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.

The reason why several of them, the great demons, were able to sneak into Brillda with Hyperion was all thanks to the help of Florence, and Florence replaced Loren to guard the Kingdom of Hutton in the rear.

"After I dealt with the chaos in the Cremorne Empire, I could have a rare vacation to go back to Ikerit. When I think about it carefully, I haven't been back for a long time."

Loren also missed his good brother, and his expression could not hide his throbbing.

Now Florence probably still lives in his house.

Since Florence moved to his house, he had not taken Florence to play in Ikerit properly, and the war in the southern continent began. Loren's last impression now was that he was very happy living with his brother.

The military gods were embarrassed to keep him for too long, because he was originally captured by the Cremorne Empire.

Loren was willing to help them deal with the chaos, and they were already grateful, so they tried to help Loren plan a home visit leave so that Loren could have a few days to return to the Kingdom of Hutton.

"I don't know what Juliana would think when she heard that you suddenly became the emperor of Kremen."

Migaiya said to himself with his chin in his hand.

In his impression, before he left the Kingdom of Hutton, there were some unspeakable signs in the relationship between Loren and Juliana. Later, after hearing about Lanqi's series of operations of welding the red line at Ikrit Academy, Migaiya felt that things were probably heating up.

Juliana may have thought that Loren died for saving her. Now the explosive news is not only that Loren has been resurrected, but he has even become the emperor of the Kremen Empire in one fell swoop, and he is going to end the war and unrest in the southern continent.

Anyway, Migaiya wants to see the follow-up. The happiest thing for him and Ifatia is to eat melons together.

"Alas, I still want to find her for dinner."

When Loren heard Juliana's name, his eyes first flashed slightly, and then his eyebrows drooped again.

He didn't know when he would see Juliana again.

Even if he had a vacation to go back to Hutton Kingdom, Juliana rarely had a vacation to leave Alolan Kingdom.

The only consolation was that with the help of the mysterious instructor introduced by Professor Bo Laao, he and Juliana had changed from friends to dining friends.

"Why is it dining?"

Ifatia and Migaia looked at the Ice Witch in confusion.

You said that the relationship has taken a step forward, and it has indeed taken a step forward.

But it always feels a bit off in a strange direction.

Perhaps only the Ice Witch who was in Ikerite at the time could solve their doubts and disharmony.

It was as if the thinking module was contaminated by a very familiar mysterious existence.

The Ice Witch also shook her head.

She didn't understand why the result of Loren and Juliana's date was that the two of them ate a whole day.

"Where's Lanqi?"

Loren saw that the other three people didn't say anything but exchanged glances, so he asked.

He also heard a little about Professor Landry, and Lanqi's identity in the Kremlin Empire was Professor Landry.

Lanqi can always complete work that others can't see the end of in a short time. In fact, this is because Lanqi works like crazy and works harder than anyone else. So when Loren recalled Lanqi's tired state that day, he was really worried that Lanqi would suddenly collapse from overwork.

"Lanqi and the others went to see Violet today."

Mi Gaiya looked at Loren and smiled, and replied.

He could see that Lanqi had tricked Loren thousands of times, but Loren still didn't blame Lanqi as always.

"I heard that Violet woke up, and several people from the Silver Moon Reform Society ran to see Violet."

Ifatia added a sentence.

"Lanqi is actually a little too guilty to come to see you. He kept talking about it when he was eating breakfast today. He owed you something. He will definitely pay it back when he has the chance."

The Ice Witch recalled Lanqi's words and said.

"It's a good thing that we can save the Southern Continent. Besides, Lanqi has changed now."

Loren shook his head and smiled.

If it were the time when he was in Ikrit Academy, Lanqi would definitely not have any feelings.

Loren knew that Lanqi had no bad intentions, but Lanqi's way was really different from others. Now Lanqi seemed to have begun to learn to be a human being.

"..."

The Ice Witch had always imagined that Loren was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Now she found out that she was the mastermind behind the scenes.

She basically never did anything inappropriate in her life, but she felt that she was wrong to force Loren to sit on the throne of the Snow Wind Machinery.

She was no different from Lanqi. Her double apology to Loren made her feel extremely guilty and she didn't know how to talk to Loren.

"Well, if we go back to Ikerite, can you give me a day? We agreed last time."

The Ice Witch couldn't really speak.

Only when she was alone with Loren could she confess her misunderstanding of him and tell him about this dark history.

It just so happened that when he was in the temple before, Loren promised her that he would take her to Ikerite as a colleague next time he had a chance.

"No problem, it's an agreement."

Of course Loren remembered that during his most difficult time, it was the Ice Witch who helped him deal with the affairs of the church and didn't question him like others.

Although he could only go home to visit his family for a short time and the journey was very tight, if nothing unexpected happened, it shouldn't be a big problem to spare a day or half a day.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you in advance."

The Ice Witch nodded slightly to Loren.

She didn't have this opportunity to go out alone with her colleagues before.

She might be regarded as an old-fashioned person.

It's not a good idea to ask Ifatia and Hyperion, they are too young and their behavior is completely different from hers.

As for Talia... let's not talk about Talia here.

A friend who is a little more mature, stable, not too old-fashioned and reliable. After thinking about it, the Ice Witch can only think of Sigrid.

When the time comes, go to ask the Catholic Sigrid about how to get along with colleagues on weekends.

Sure enough, it is the best choice to find a strong woman in the workplace like Sigrid who is good at handling interpersonal relationships.

The Ice Witch is also a little relieved.

"By the way, how are you going back to Ikerit?"

Loren asked the Ice Witch, Migaia and Ifatia.

"We estimate that we will stay in the Empire for a few more days to rest and then go back to Ikerit."

Ifatia poked her lips with her index finger and thought for a while, and replied.

Hyperion, the Ice Witch and several other big demons are on the allied route on the Florence side. It is more convenient to return to Ikerit by the original route. The international situation is still the most complicated and it is a sensitive period. It is easy to cause unnecessary trouble to cross borders through unofficial channels.

Lanqi and Talia are special intelligence agents of the Persian Kingdom. They have to go back to Persian's capital, Flower City, Pariel, to meet their superior, Lieutenant General Nigel, and then return to Hutton from Persian.

"Persian and Hutton are close anyway, and it will take only a few days to reach Ikerite."

Ifatia remembered that it was very convenient to accompany Migaiya to and from Pariel and Ikerite every time, and the difference between the two routes was actually not much.

"We haven't been to Flower City for a long time."

Migaiya agreed with a little nostalgia.

Apart from Icerita, Huatuparieu was the city-state that he and Ifatia were most familiar with.

"It's been a long time since I last saw Rosalinda and Atio. Milaya and I will probably go to the Flower Capital first this time."

Ifatiya smiled expectantly.

Parrieux also left behind many legends about Duke Milaya.

They might take the Huadu route with Lan Qi and Talia to revisit the old place of Parrieux.

"But Mi Gaiya, if you go to Huadu, won't you be surrounded..."

Loren remembered that Milaya still had a fanatical fan base in Huadu.

Mi Gaiya, who has been missing for so long, suddenly returns. I am afraid that she will be discovered as soon as she takes to the street and chased everywhere. She will not be able to calm down wherever she goes.

"It's okay, Milaya has a way to hide."

Epatia raised her chest confidently.

"Don't make the flowers more messy."

Loren shook his head.

He has a more detailed understanding of the situation in the Southern Continent these days than others.

"After the Huadu Incident, followed by the all-out war in the southern continent, the problem of the Posen Demon Realm has been in a temporary backlog and has not been completely resolved. The initial solution now seems to be that the Posen Kingdom wants to A principality dedicated to the demons was opened up on the border with the Crean Empire, and most of the Posen Demon Realm was transferred there, which was brought up during the peace negotiations. "

Loren preached to a few people.

Placing the Demonic Principality between Posen and Creayu is completely acceptable to the residents of Posen, because they trust Posen more than the Creayu Empire that they have just invaded. The Mori Demon Clan is also an excellent buffer zone for the Posen Kingdom.

Although the Creation Empire pushed Loren up, and the empire took the initiative to seek peace talks, the compensation was much lower than the defeat, but in the end it was either compensation or land compensation. What Poson wanted was land, and Creation What Zhen also happens to have is land.

This matter is still being discussed with the Kingdom Parliament Alliance. Whether this duchy plan can be established and recognized by the alliance depends not only on the intentions between the Creation Empire and the Poisson Kingdom, but also on the support of the overwhelming majority of the Allied people. The approval of the demon nation may lead to a referendum.

"The hope is actually quite high. The turmoil in the Southern Continent can be subsided this time. Several big demons have contributed a lot to the allied forces. What's more, there is also the Snow Witch, a very positive image of a half-demon priest, who is almost the same as the goddess of fate. With the church’s long-standing good deeds, everyone’s resistance to the demons is no longer that great.”

Loren revealed what he learned to his old friends.

"I don't care. Anyway, the demon clan is no longer a country and it has nothing to do with me. I only care whether the Posen Demon World is fun or not."

Ifatiya smiled with the attitude of a tourist.

"Then wouldn't your sister be very happy?"

Milaya asked Epatiya.

He had heard Ifatia talk about her sister in her hometown a long time ago. Princess Thalia's long-cherished wish at the beginning was to restore the country, so she embarked on a long journey to find opportunities for restoration. This kind of princess who chose to marry and show off as soon as she arrived in Icerite was too determined.

The demons in Posen all claimed to have seen the demon king on the day of the Huadu Incident.

Originally, all the demons in this world thought that the Nine-Seal Demon King existed only in history and legends.

Even though the demons could not clearly see the appearance of the Demon King at that time, the demons in the Posen Kingdom are now convinced that the silver-white singer on the stage of the decisive battle in Brilda is their Demon King, because she is the last and only Nine Seals in the world. The devil.

"Alas, my sister no longer wants to return to the country. Now she just wants to retire in Ikerita."

Ifatiya closed her eyes and spread her hands.

My sister's only wish is to live a carefree life in Icerita.

And, marry a good man.

The world is full of backfires.

When you want it, you can't get it no matter what. When you have let go, it may suddenly come true.
