The knight king of the otherworldly moon

"Did I just talk about a private matter?"

This time, facing Mira's words, Lucifer simply chose to ignore it.

He forced the topic onto the file.

"Don't say that.

The news of the pirates' concentrated invasion came three days ago, so you should have already responded.

After all, you were...the Grand Duke of the West."

The message on the file is actually quite simple.

That is, several pirate chiefs on the sea in the west suddenly united and attacked Edinburgh, the alley city in the west of Britain, but was currently defeated by the navy.

However, they did not seem to give up, but planned to continue to block the alleys at sea to prevent ships from entering and leaving.

"I privately ordered Drake to play defensively and focus on stabilizing the situation for the time being.

My decision, I hope the king will not blame me."

"No, you handled it well.

You know the west side better than I do, and you have the power to make temporary decisions."

Lucifer didn't blame Mira.

It was my own big marriage before, if this kind of incident is exposed.

The knights will no doubt be furious, and the wedding may not be as peaceful as before.

It's not a big deal, but it's the timing of it that matters.

Just in time for my own wedding, the political implications here are very obvious.

Dare to do things during my wedding time, it seems that you think your peaceful days are too good.

"Is there any other information? With your ability, it should be impossible not to see the hidden relationship in it."

After thinking for a while, Lucifer looked at Mira.

Pirates will act collectively, or at the time of their wedding.

If it was said that there were no black hands, Lucifer himself would not believe it.

Even if these pirates really want to be the pirate king and so on, they should find a soft fruit to pinch, such as France next to them, not Britain.

"Their behind-the-scenes financier is Rome."

Semiramis seems to have expected to say what she has investigated.

"oh, I see!"

Hearing this, Lucifer instantly understood something.

"According to the current situation, Rome should be trying to attract your attention in this way and let your attention temporarily leave Rome itself.

They are facing a double attack with Macedonia to the south and do not want another opponent.

After all, Britain is now in a state of armistice in the north and south, so the remaining goals are very obvious."

Semiramis calmly spoke about the situation in Rome.

"No, it's two.

If I am moving the news of the army now, it does not mean that Lei Di has not moved."

The reason why Lei Di didn't see it now was probably because he had the same thoughts as himself.

I want to wait until they fight directly, and it is very difficult to quit once they fight.

But before that, they have the possibility of peace talks at any time.

For this reason, we cannot put pressure on them for the time being.

As long as they feel they can fight, they will fight.

"At the same time, fighting four countries at the same time, even if it is stronger than Rome, it is not enough.

You won't miss this opportunity, will you?"

"It depends on what the opportunity is.

The four countries attacked Rome together, and then ended in peace talks, each gaining part of the territory.

Sounds good, but I'm very interested in it.

You know, Mila, I always think that wars between countries should not be launched lightly, but if they do, they must find a way to kill their opponents at one time, or at least make them cripple.

Otherwise it will be troublesome.”

Lucifer expressed his opinion.

Most of the wars in this era are still dominated by competition for territory, and people's lives are exchanged for land and money. Most of them are like this.

But what Lucifer thought in his heart was to accomplish his work in one battle.

"Your appetite is bigger than you think."

Semiramis is not opposed to this practice.

Instead, she appreciates it.

Just when they were about to say something, a guard's voice came from outside the door.

"King, the Roman messenger asks to see you."

"The messengers of Rome, they dare to send messengers over"

Semiramis is a little weird.

After these goods did things in the west, they dared to send people over.

They really thought that there was no intelligence department on their side, but Lucifer had a different opinion.

"Don't we already have messengers in our city?"

Compared to the new messenger, Lucifer felt that Nero had received an order from the Roman emperor to let her return or something.

"Oh! It's them.

Do you want to see me?"

"I thought of an interesting thing.

Of course see you.

Pass them in."

After a while, the Roman messenger entered the office.

Lucifer and Semiramis were not as casual as before, but sat in their respective official positions.

After a brief opening remarks, Nero and Laxmi also explained their intentions to Lucifer.

They were ordered to return, this time to say goodbye.

Of course it was a farewell on the surface, but Nero... still had the idea of ​​testing Lucifer's next move.

"Are you going to go back so soon?

But I promise you that your clothes are not ready yet."

Saying that, Lucifer's expression was full of sighs.

"Yu doesn't want to go back so soon.

But my uncle had already given the highest order, and Yu could only obey.

As for the clothes...you can send someone to give it to Yu later."

Nero was a little lost at first, but recovered immediately.

She had already figured out how to deal with it.

"Looks like that's all it takes."

After Lucifer finished speaking, Nero deliberately looked at Semiramis.

"Hey! This... seems to be your prime minister. Are you discussing any major event before Yu et al.?"

The tone seems to be indifferent, but it is the beginning of Nero's temptation.

Such a tone is unlikely to arouse Lucifer's disgust, if Lucifer doesn't want to say it, she can skip it immediately.

However, Laxmi still felt too rude.

"Your Highness, please pay attention to the impact!"

"Little girl, the big thing we're discussing has to do with Britain.

Do you still want to hear secrets about Britain as your highness in Rome?"

Semiramis' expression was amused.

no.162 The method of deception (asking for tickets, asking for custom)

She didn't understand whether this... His Royal Highness of Rome was deliberately pretending to be stupid, or whether she simply felt too good about herself.

But seeing that Lucifer didn't respond, she didn't say much.

"certainly.

Because Yu Zhi intuitively told Yu that it was also related to Rome.

Luer, you will tell Yu."

Nero avoided Semiramis' words and went directly to Lucifer's side to speak.

"You're still as confident, or narcissistic, as ever, Nero.

Forget it, it's not a big deal, but it does have something to do with Rome."

Lucifer was not surprised by such Nero, and he also admitted that he had something to do with Rome.

"What! It's really about Yu"

"Yeah! I don't know if you have... received the news from Emperor Caligula, but currently France and Macedonia have temporarily put aside their prejudice and are ready to attack Rome together.

By the way, France also invited me to carry out a joint attack together. Your uncle wanted you to go back because he was worried that once the war started, you would become my hostage.

The Prime Minister and I were just considering whether to agree to the French decision, after all this is a really good opportunity."

Lucifer was talking nonsense in a serious manner.

Half of what he said is true and half is false.

Semiramis suddenly understood what Lucifer meant, and she deliberately cooperated with Lucifer.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude, but what you just said is a British secret and cannot be explained to them.

The French side has offered generous conditions, and also told us to keep it a secret."

In fact, France has no contact with Britain at all at present.

But in the mouth of the two of them, France has already sent an emissary, and even the conditions are almost negotiated.

Nero and Laxmi were immediately surprised.

They had also thought about whether Britain would attack Rome before, but they had never thought about such a possibility.

Because of the identities of Lucifer and Semiramis, and the news from Rome, they felt that the news was very real.

"A joint attack of France and Britain!"

At this moment, Laxmi was extremely surprised.

Nero recovered from the surprise, and she felt that the news was very real.

Although it seems impossible for Britain and France to unite at all, the more impossible the union is, the more likely it is.

"On the surface, the two countries that seem the most unlikely to unite are united, and it turns out that this is indeed a result that will surprise Yu.

Why did Luer tell Yu, such important news?"

"Just take it as a present for you before you leave.
