"Understood, Your Majesty."
At this moment, facing Katerina's probing eyes, Andy leaned down slightly, his attitude seemed extremely respectful,
"If this is your will, I am willing to serve you."
"However, in order to complete the tasks you entrusted to me, I need more support, especially from the army."
"Oh~?" Hearing Andy's sudden request, Katerina couldn't help raising her brows, and then asked thoughtfully,
"Andy Qing, that's not what you said just now, why did you suddenly change your mind now, can you tell me the reason?"
Regarding Katerina's obviously suspicious words, Andy responded with an unchanged expression,
"Sorry, Your Majesty, because I didn't know that you planned to arrange for the minister to return to Gorold, so the proposed force structure is a bit unreasonable."
"The Imperial Navy has more than a thousand warships, and its combat power is not weak. The force arrangement proposed by the minister just now is based on the situation of only defending against the empire's counterattack. Now to deal with Gorado and Guidiwei Island at the same time, the minister can only To find a way to make the Imperial Navy incapacitated, but to do this, that little force is definitely not enough.”
"......" Facing Andy's explanation, Katerina didn't answer directly, but asked noncommittal after taking a deep look at him,
"Then how many troops do you need?"
Hearing Katerina's question, Andy showed a respectful attitude, but his words were not polite,
"At least [-] warships and their associated sailors are needed, plus more than [-] troops. If possible, I hope that the magic warships under your command will also be involved."
The voice fell, and the room suddenly became silent. I saw Katerina staring straight at Andy, as if she was looking at something strange, while Andy maintained a respectful attitude, accepting the girl's pain calmly. examine.
After a long time, Katerina laughed suddenly, and there was a hint of awe in the laughter, and then, she heard the girl say in a calm voice,
"Since Andy Qing said so, let's do as you said, but......"
At this point, Katerina suddenly stared at Andy with piercing eyes, with a trace of awe in her tone,
"Andy, I hope you understand one thing. I told you that the person I admire the most is Saxon. There is actually a reason."
"Before the war started, I made a prediction about the outcome of the war, and no matter what the outcome is, countless people in Burros Kingdom will die because of it."
"However, none of this happened in the end, because Saxon saved you. He used his own life to forcefully drag everyone in the entire Burros kingdom out of the quagmire of war, so that you don't have to face a bloody and cruel fate. "
"So, don't let his efforts go to waste, okay~?"
After all, before Andy could speak, Katerina waved her hand,
"Okay, you can leave now, go back and prepare, and start as soon as possible, this matter cannot be delayed."
At this moment, in the face of Katerina who seemed to have no interest in speaking, Andy, who was about to say something, finally closed his mouth.
Then, after saluting Katerina very solemnly, Andy turned back and left the room, and the moment he left the room, a deep voice quickly came from Katerina's side,
"Your Majesty, why did you agree to such unreasonable conditions? That guy doesn't deserve such a heavy trust from you!"
The person who spoke was Avril. Originally, as Katerina's personal maid, she was not qualified to talk about political affairs. In fact, Avril herself understood this point. Unless the girl asked in person, she would never speak casually.
But this time the situation is different. In Avril Lavigne's opinion, the conditions Andy raised just now were too much, and she couldn't help but speak to the girl.
You know, although the current Chris Navy seems to be very powerful, it actually relies on the strength of steel warships. The size of the navy itself is not large, and Andy opened his mouth at this time. The target is definitely not the Chris Navy. But those Burross who had just surrendered.
In this war between Burros and Chris, relying on the sacrifice of the King of Saxony, Katerina almost completely received the military power of Burrus, but because the composition of this army is very heterogeneous, many people are simply pirates. The real essence is only the armed forces cultivated by the Burros royal family.Therefore, after receiving this army, Katerina unceremoniously cleaned up the "impurities" in it.
And after removing the chaff and saving the essence, the huge army that used to be tens of thousands of people now only has a little over [-] left.
Now Andy asks for [-], which is equivalent to leaving most of the elite, and adding [-] warships. If he really hands over an army of this size to Andy, what if something happens to him? Bad thoughts, the consequences can be imagined.
However, regarding Avril Lavigne's concern, Katerina just smiled,
"Don't worry, Avril, I know this very well."
"Andy Qing is a smart man, I believe he will not do stupid things."
"But Your Majesty..." Seeing the girl in front of her who spoke a lot but did not waver in her attitude, Avril wanted to persuade her again, but she hadn't waited for her Opening, the door of the room was knocked again suddenly.
After that, a servant hurriedly opened the door and walked in, and handed an urgent letter to Katerina, and the girl frowned immediately when she saw the cover of the letter.
The cover of the letter has the pattern of the Azure Lion. There is only one family in this world that can use this pattern, and that is the Aldan family where the girl belongs.
Since Katerina took over Chris, although the girl still keeps in touch with those in the family she cares about, she has never received any official letter from the Aldan family, and now she suddenly sees this The letter gave the girl a bad premonition instinctively, and this premonition was soon confirmed.
The next moment, after opening the letter and skimming through it, Katerina's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. Aside from the useless words in the letter, this letter is essentially just expressing a message... .........
Not long ago, the Duchess had a serious conflict with the Duke of Aldan, and was imprisoned again!
Chapter 150 146. The Duke's First Card
Three days later, Morodo City.
At this moment, at noon, the sun hangs high in the sky, blowing the scorching heat of summer all over the earth. Facing the suffocating scorching wind in the air, most of the residents of Morodo City are hiding in the shade , to avoid the heat as much as possible.On the sun-baked streets, few people could be seen at all, and the signs of activity in the entire city were greatly weakened by the hot weather.
But at this time, in the mansion of the Duke of Aldan, the servants in the mansion are busy in a ball, sweat dripping down their cheeks, eyebrows, and foreheads, and the breath from their mouths and nostrils is hotter than the sun. The air behind was even hotter, but no one stopped. The reason was very simple. A very special figure was about to visit the Duke's Mansion. As servants of the Duke's Mansion, they had to deal with it with all their might.
"Your Excellency Karbas, there is news from the city gate!"
Just when the servants were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, a figure in knight attire suddenly approached Karbas Charlotte, the housekeeper of the Duke of Aldan's mansion, and brought him Here comes a big news...................
"Missy's convoy has already passed the city gate. According to the current speed of the convoy, it will arrive at the Duke's Mansion in about 10 to [-] minutes!"
Hearing this news, the housekeeper Karbas couldn't help lowering his eyes, and then said calmly,
"Well, I see."
"By the way, Kerda, did you see the condition of Missy's convoy when you came? How many people are there in Missy's entourage? Who are they?"
At this moment, when he suddenly heard Karbas's inquiry, the messenger who had revealed a trace of excitement in his original expression was stunned instinctively, and after thinking for a while, he responded with affirmative expression,
"This.........Reporting to Your Excellency, the eldest lady's entourage does not seem to be many, but those accompanying guards are almost all knights! And there are at least twenty of them!"
"What did you say? Twenty knights!"
At this moment, after hearing the news brought back by the man named Kerda, Karbas couldn't help but take a breath, and then he asked instinctively,
"Kerda, can you be sure that those people who came back with Missy are really 'knights'?!"
Soon, the butler got an affirmative answer from Keerda
"Yes, Lord Karbas."
"I'm sure that those guards are all knights, and judging from the level of 'Qi' practice alone, some of them are even slightly stronger than me...... "
At this point, Kelda, who was quite excited, suddenly stopped because he found that the butler in front of him looked obviously a little bit wrong.
"Your Excellency Karbas, this is......"
With a hint of doubt, Kerda instinctively asked Karbas for an answer. On the other side, he seemed to realize that he was revealing something that should not be revealed. Karbas did not give any answer, but waved his hand decisively. He signaled the knight in front of him to back down.
After the knight's back disappeared, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the face of the chief housekeeper of the duke's mansion finally showed a trace of distress uncontrollably.
Originally, my eldest daughter was away from home for two years, relying on her own ability to make a name for herself, and finally returned to her hometown. For this chief steward of the Duke's Mansion who regards the reputation of the Aldan family as extremely important, this is definitely a blessing. Something to celebrate.
However, as the confidant of the Duke of Aldan, Karbas knew very well that this time Katerina came back not to enjoy the cheers, but to make troubles. There were less than twenty knights, but Katerina unceremoniously pulled them out as guards, her intention was very clear.
As for the current bad situation, Karbas can't see any way to resolve it. If a foreign enemy offends the Aldan family, it will be a desperate fight. But now, the opponent is not someone else, but the most noble blood of the awakened family. The eldest lady who has a great reputation and has already obtained the royal power of Burros.
Facing the offensive from Katerina, as the housekeeper, Karbas, any act of resistance would be quickly charged with "committing" from the very beginning, and the deeper and more thorough the resistance, the more serious the crime will be. Sir, in such an unfavorable situation, the chief butler of the Duke's Mansion really has nothing to do.
"Ah~~"
After sighing softly, Karbas suddenly looked towards a certain direction of the Duke's mansion. Through many obstacles, he seemed to see a figure holding an eternal wisdom pearl.The butler is very clear that only that one can truly solve the current predicament, but for some reason, after learning that his daughter is about to return home, the other party simply played and disappeared, until now They didn't mean to show up.
In this regard, although it was a bit offensive, Karbas instinctively speculated in his heart what the meaning of Duke Aldan's move was.
"Your Excellency Karbas!"
"Miss's convoy has arrived at the gate—!"
The next moment, before Karbas finished thinking, there was a rush of calling voices in his ears, and after noticing the information conveyed by the voice, Karbas couldn't help being startled when he came back to his senses!
[Didn't you just arrive at the gate of the city?Why did it come so fast? 】
At this moment, there was no time to think about the reasons, and Karbas quickly controlled the situation as he looked at the servants who were a little confused in the face of the sudden situation. Then, he tidied up his clothes and checked that there was no problem. After that, he quickly greeted the gate...
...................................
"Welcome Missy to return home—!"
A few minutes later, the servants of the Aldan family lined up in two teams, standing on both sides of the gate of the Duke's mansion. Ahead, a luxurious carriage surrounded by dozens of knights stopped quietly in front of the servants.
At this moment, facing the closed carriage door not far away, Karbas standing in the front, his palms and forehead were dripping with sweat. On the one hand, it was because of the scorching sun overhead, On the other hand, it was also because of the tension in his heart.
Obviously, the chief steward of the Duke of Aldan's mansion was really worried that his eldest lady would not show face from the very beginning, and let everyone live here to make outsiders see the joke. After all, the Duke of Aldan is still not Showing up, if the girl is mad, it can be regarded as a reason for the incident.
Fortunately, Karbas’ worries did not happen. It didn’t take long before the door of the carriage opened slowly. There is only one maid!
At this moment, looking at the maid who was slowly advancing towards where he was, Karbas put in a lot of willpower to not let himself lose his composure, and then, before he could figure out why, he heard the maid use Said in a calm tone,
"Please tell me, I am Avril Katerina, the Chief Lady and Chief Maid of the Royal Household, under the command of Her Majesty Queen Burros!"
"This time, my king and all the people agreed to come to visit Grand Duke Aldan. May I ask your Excellency why you haven't seen Grand Duke Aldan?"
At this moment, hearing the words spoken by the maid in front of him, Karbas couldn't help but secretly said in his heart, "It's finally here", but on the face he responded respectfully,
"Dear Ms. Avril, please tell my 'Miss' that your Excellency the Duke has important matters to attend to at this time, and you really can't get away."
"I also invite 'Eldest Miss' to enter the mansion first. After His Excellency the Duke finishes handling the matters in hand, she will naturally meet with her."
As soon as the voice fell, Karbas immediately felt a sharp gaze cast on him. He knew that the titles he had just said with accentuated pronunciation had offended the maid in front of him, and might even offend the master behind her. .
However, Karbas had no choice. No matter what, the chief steward of the Aldan family had to insist on his identity as the daughter of Duke Katerina.
There is no other reason. If Katerina really followed what Katerina said and recognized the identity of the girl Queen Burros, then this meeting would automatically become a formal diplomacy between the leaders of the big forces. The Duke of Aldan himself will be in a very disadvantageous position.
As the confidant of the Duke of Aldan, Karbas certainly cannot allow such a thing to happen, even if the opponent is the daughter of the Duke of Aldan, he will stick to it without hesitation.
However, Karbas is not the only one who has persistence in his heart. Avril, who has just obtained the permission of Katerina and changed the girl's name to her own surname, also has her own persistence.
So, as a matter of course, under the circumstances that no one would give in, the two loyal servants started a battle that could not be seen with swords and swords.
It stands to reason that the two people in the confrontation are a butler trained by the Duke of Aldan for generations, and the other is a royal lady who has been carefully trained by the Florida royal family. The struggle between the two will not end for a while, and it is impossible to end.
Unfortunately, time is on Katerina's side.
Since the place where the two sides confront each other is outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. Coupled with the scorching sun above the head, Avril Lavigne, who has better physical fitness, will definitely win the final prize. victory.
However, just when Karbas was affected by external factors and it was becoming more and more difficult to parry Avril's offensive, a brisk and joyous shout sounded in people's ears very abruptly,
