I! Cleaner!

"Your Majesty Veronica!"

The Foreign Minister, who was deeply disliked (disliked) by Princess Melisande and eager to make great achievements, waited patiently until the Queen announced the start of the private banquet. Before the armor-piercing old man started cutting the cake, he couldn't wait to stand out.

"Excuse me, did Princess Philia, the only one who survived the fall of the Kingdom of Korok, come to this banquet?"

Um?

Hearing that someone was concerned about the situation of his neighbors, Leon, who was recuperating, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and turned his attention to the old man who was speaking.

Hmm...not that old.

After excluding the overly mature look on her body and the popular beard in the Northern Kingdom, her skin condition is estimated to be around thirty, and she should be a few years older than Veronica.

Although for me, who is only 280 months old and whose skin is tender and tender after the increase in dye value, this person can be called an old man, but among the envoys from various countries whose average capita is over forty years old, he is still an old man. An out-and-out young man.

In summary, he is an old man, but he is a young man.

After taking a look at the attire of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Northern Kingdom, and recognizing his origins based on his coat of arms and clothing, Leon, who had heard Veronica talk about the Northern Kingdom's plans, directly answered on her behalf:

"Filia has her own business to attend to, and she doesn't have many acquaintances here, so she didn't come to the banquet. Do you have anything to ask her about?"

"Yes, I do have something I want to ask."

After staring at Queen Veronica twice, he couldn't get the reaction he wanted from her face. He only saw a peaceful and still smile. The foreign minister of the Northern Kingdom couldn't help but frowned, and then made a decisive decision. Changing the target and looking at Leon, he asked with stern eyes:

"Your Excellency, please ask Princess Philia of the Korok Kingdom. Why did she not lead her people to rebuild the Korok Kingdom? Instead, she chose to lead the remaining people to move across the country and attach themselves to your kingdom with the legacy of the Korok Kingdom. country?"

"Let me answer this question."

After glancing at Lyon, who was still pale, Queen Veronica reached out to hold his arm and replied calmly:

“The Kingdom of Korok suffered a tsunami that only happens once in a thousand years. Although the people successfully escaped, the entire kingdom was destroyed by the tsunami. It lacked food, clothing, and supplies. It no longer had the ability to rebuild the kingdom on the original site.

It happened that Leon was going there on behalf of the kingdom to discuss cooperation due to some matters, so he acted as a mediator and persuaded Her Highness Philia to take the affected people to accept our help and come here to rest for a while.

However, after that, neither she nor the remnants of the original Korok Kingdom had much interest in rebuilding the mechanical capital that was destroyed by the tsunami, so they simply settled down. "

"I see."

After nodding in confusion, the foreign minister of the Northern Kingdom twitched his lips, then asked with a smile:

"That means that the remnants of the Kingdom of Korok, represented by Her Highness Philia, have only temporarily settled in your country. They have not become vassals of your country and have been completely annexed by your country...right?"

"Yes."

Princess Veronica smiled back at him and said calmly:

"Of course there is no talk of annexation. It is just out of the most basic humanitarianism, to help ordinary people who were shipwrecked, and to help them integrate into the new environment as much as possible while providing assistance.

After all, we have always been a country that pursues peace. In the past two hundred years, we have not fought a war to plunder from abroad. Instead, we have been passively subjected to aggression by other countries and have annexed many territories... Are you right? "

"..."

Facing Princess Veronica's counterattack with a gun and a stick, the Foreign Minister of the Northern Kingdom was about to fight back when he heard a loud voice beside him.

"Your Majesty Veronica!"

After calling out, a dark, lean, middle-aged man took a step forward, walked to the side of the Northern Kingdom's Foreign Minister, and said loudly with piercing eyes:

"As an ally that has maintained good relations with your country for hundreds of years, we, the Kingdom of Morna, are willing to stand together with your country and jointly help those remnants of the Kingdom of Korok who have lost their homes!"

When he said this, the thin black man glanced at the foreign minister of the Northern Kingdom beside him, and then added:

"In addition, the Northern Kingdom and the Kingdom of Refraction also have the same plan. Although the Kingdom of Saio is not able to accommodate the survivors, it is willing to provide ships and waterways to help us complete this good deed... You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Prince Lucian of the Kingdom of Morna?

Seeing this middle-aged man who couldn't wait to stand up, Princess Veronica couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little surprised.

The Northern Kingdom's revolt was quite normal, but as one of the kingdom's die-hard allies, the Morna Kingdom did not even have private contact with itself, skipping the process of discussing the transfer of benefits and simply siding with the Northern Kingdom. It was actually a bit beyond her expectation.

After all, the technology left behind by the Kingdom of Korok is an unimaginably rich wealth. It is unlikely that he will completely monopolize it. He will definitely have to share some profits with his allies.

And his mother is a distant branch of the Morna Kingdom. Based on his relationship with the Morna Kingdom, there will almost certainly be a lot of benefits there, and there is no need to stand on the opposite side of him.

Done!

Looking at his slightly furrowed brows, he did not answer the question immediately, but frowned and looked at his Queen Veronica. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Northern Kingdom could not help but smile confidently, and then returned her a meaningful smile.

Although the Kingdom of Morna is your ally, this Prince Lucian is not necessarily your ally, and the interests of the Kingdom of Morna are not necessarily the interests of the family behind him.

According to the treaty signed between himself and the Kingdom of Seo, if he still stands on your side this time, although Prince Lucian can get benefits for the Kingdom of Morna, he and his family behind him will have to resist the targeting of the King of the North and the Kingdom of Seo.

But if he chooses to give up supporting you and stand on our side, the benefits of the Kingdom of Morna will still not be less, and he himself will not only not be targeted, but he can even bite off the biggest piece of benefits with his support, and the price he pays is nothing more than offending you.

But you, who have just ascended the throne and are in desperate need of support from all parties, would not choose to be hostile to the Kingdom of Morna and give up a possible helper just because of this irreparable loss if you were a little more rational, so this price can be said to be completely insignificant.

In addition, after the Kingdom of Morna, which should have been close to you, suddenly expressed its intention to give up its support for you this time, the pressure on the second ally who wanted to stand out would suddenly increase. Standing up at this time is almost equivalent to directly making enemies with the three kingdoms.

Among your other allies, there were no envoys of the prince level present, and the highest-ranking envoys were only the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the leader of a political party.

But with their level and status, even if they had the courage and determination to stand up and take on this matter, they did not have the power to represent the kingdoms behind them and take on such a big mess.

In other words, when you let me enter the auditorium before and contacted Prince Lucian of the Kingdom of Morna, your failure was already doomed!
