Although Reinhardt didn't know the reason for this, he quickly realized that this was a good opportunity to win the Kingdom of Florida.
Reinhardt, who has experienced political struggles, knows very well that King Florida's idea of trying to exile Katerina, and his possible subsequent actions, will most likely intensify the conflicts within the Kingdom of Florida, especially his The matter of plotting against Katerina will not only force the girl to fight to the death, but also separate the Aldan family where the girl belongs from from the royal family.
Strong fortresses are often breached from the inside. The moat formed by the Arissa Mountains is indeed extremely steep and difficult for ordinary people to cross. But now, there is a problem within the Kingdom of Florida. Once the Aldan family and the royal family, which are the pillars of the kingdom, fall out, Naturally, the empire has an opportunity to take advantage of.
Afterwards, after many discussions and explorations, Reinhardt and the high-level empire behind him finally determined that the breakthrough and opportunity to win the Kingdom of Florida happened to fall on Katerina.
The upper echelons of the empire generally believe that as long as they can make good use of Catalina, the biggest variable within the Kingdom of Florida, then the Empire has every hope of taking this opportunity to take over the entire Kingdom of Florida in one fell swoop.
It is precisely because of this that in Reinhardt's eyes, the two goals of finding a wife for himself and helping the empire expand its territory have never been contradictory.
But in the beginning, Reinhardt didn't want to go to such extremes. According to his original idea, he would first find a way to marry Katerina, and then take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between the Aldan family and the Florida royal family, so that Flo Rida fell into civil strife, and then, without using force as much as possible, with the help of Katerina's royal inheritance, she gradually realized the goal of merging the Kingdom of Florida into the empire's territory in a legal way.
But unfortunately, because a certain party did not cooperate at all, this idea eventually went bankrupt. After that, Reinhardt had to choose a more extreme method.
Pushing the time back a few months, a conspiracy was formed as early as the moment the imperial prince proposed to Katerina. At that time, the process of Reinhardt's proposal to Katerina was actually not in line with the noble tradition .
According to the normal marriage proposal process, the people in power of the man's family and the woman's family should first contact each other. After the interests of both parties are properly arranged, the man and woman can enter the marriage proposal process.
And Reinhardt's marriage proposal at that time was very abrupt. Before that day, the empire had never communicated with the Aldan family on this issue.
As the crown prince of the empire, Reinhardt is naturally not a person who does not understand etiquette. The reason why he did this is because he was sure from the very beginning that facing his marriage proposal, Katerina would definitely reject it openly in public, and once the girl To do such a thing, the empire will have an excuse to attack.
At the same time, Reinhardt also expected that once there was any movement on the side of the empire, the King of Florida, who had always looked at Katerina very disliked, would inevitably react immediately after losing the suppression of the empire. Fights will break out.
At that time, as long as the empire quietly provokes the two sides to fight more fiercely, it is best to let King Nok of Florida suffer a bit. With the heart and means shown by that kingdom, it is bound to Let the contradiction between the two sides be further intensified.
At that time, no matter how openly the empire intervenes, there is a high probability that the King of Florida will ask the empire for help. In this way, the empire will have the opportunity to take down the Kingdom of Florida.
In the beginning, the development of subsequent events did not exceed Reinhardt's expectations. After the empire declared itself an enemy of Crisport, a conflict broke out between the two sides, and the result of the conflict did end in frustration for the King of Florida.Afterwards, the empire even got the King Nok's promise to allow the imperial army to enter conditionally under the condition of restricting the size.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes after all, so the empire completed the mobilization of troops as quickly as possible, and then waited impatiently for the Kingdom of Florida to let go of the sky and welcome the entry of the imperial army. King Nok, who made the promise He was actually usurped by his own son, and the newly appointed young king did not intend to inherit his father's "behavior" at all. Not only that, but the other party immediately strengthened the defense of the border after learning about the situation on the empire's side strength.
As a result, the imperial army, which had already made preparations in the early stage, could only watch helplessly, and the Arissa Mountains, which were almost completely opened to the empire, were closed again.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Duke, I am in charge of the plan this time, and I promise to give the empire an explanation, and no one will be implicated...... .”
At this moment, after looking at the heavy-faced Duke Corso, Reinhardt, who knew exactly what the other party was worried about, couldn't help but lowered his head, and looked at the mountain signs marked with blood-red marks on the map. Finally, he couldn't help sighing deeply, as if he wanted to let out the depression in his heart.
It didn't take long for the imperial prince to regain his spirits.
Although things are stuck in the last step and fall short, this situation is indeed very unreconciled, but Reinhardt has never been a person who complains when encountering setbacks.After realizing that there was no room for turning things around, the crown prince of the empire did not hesitate to extinguish his gambler mentality, and then took the initiative to take responsibility in a very generous manner, so as to calm people's hearts.
On the other side, seeing Reinhardt take over the responsibility so easily, Duke Corso's expression immediately improved a lot. Afterwards, this strong man in military uniform restrained his deliberate scowl slightly, and looked at Reinhardt asked half-jokingly and half-seriously,
"Hehe, you are indeed the most outstanding heir to the empire. You really have a lot of courage."
"Looking at His Highness's current appearance, it seems that he already has a new plan in his heart?"
"Excuse me for asking, what should we do next?"
"Now the gate to Florida is closed again, and the withdrawal order from the imperial capital has been issued. We will definitely not be able to go to Port Chris. The crusade against Chris can only be done by the pirates in Burrose. to finish."
"And once those pirates take Chris Port alone, whether it's Chris Port's technology or your highness's careful master, I'm afraid it will be nothing to us."
"Your Highness, what are you going to do? Give up?"
give up?
At this moment, upon hearing Duke Corso's probing words, a dark color flashed in Reinhardt's eyes for a moment, like a fire burning deep in the darkness, which made people shudder, and then, a strange arc emerged At the corner of the mouth of the Crown Prince of the Empire...
How could I give up!
Whether it is the Kingdom of Florida or Katrina, he will not give up on any of them.The men of the West family have no reason to stop until they successfully capture their favorite prey!

Chapter 123 119. Hill whose nature is exposed
For the time being, regardless of what kind of moths Reinhardt will make, now turn his attention back to Florida.
For the residents of the Kingdom of Florida, this year is destined to be an extraordinary year.
The new year has just begun, and the farmers are still busy spreading the seeds into the land. The branches of the forest have just sprouted a little green, and the returning migratory birds have not had time to build their nests. The political situation in the Kingdom of Florida , a series of dizzying changes have taken place, and this trend of drastic changes in the political landscape has no intention of ending so far, but is still getting worse.
At present, just as the aftermath of Chris’s army’s one-day suppression of the rebellion is still fermenting, and the old king died of illness and the new king’s succession has just started to make waves, before people recover, it seems like they are rushing Grabbing the headlines, even more shocking news came from Port Chris......
[In order to deal with the recent frequent military actions launched by the Empire and the Burros Kingdom, Grand Duchess Katerina announced that a grand military parade will be held in Port Chris! 】
Facing this news, the reaction from the outside world was much more intense than when they heard the previous two news. Not only the various noble families in the Kingdom of Florida responded one after another, but even a considerable number of foreign countries also announced that they would We will send envoys to participate in this military parade!
Obviously, for a marquis-level aristocratic territory, it is obviously abnormal for a military parade to cause such a fierce response.
The reason why such a fierce reaction was triggered was mainly because of Chris's previous counter-insurgency war.To complete the achievement of breaking the city in one day without using any conspiracy or tricks, this kind of thing is really unimaginable for the military strategists of all countries.
Humans have always been a curious race, and at the same time they are particularly good at learning, so it is only natural that the outside world will inevitably cast an inquiring gaze on the abnormal strength shown by Chris's army.
Before, all outside forces could only secretly collect information because they had scruples about Chris's military strength. Now that Katerina is hosting a military parade, how can everyone let go of such a good opportunity, so there is It made Katerina's powerful appeal that can be called a universal response.
At this moment, in a certain bedroom of Marquis Aaron's mansion, Katerina stood expressionlessly in front of a full-length mirror, letting the maid beside her put a set of armor that was obviously more ornamental on her body.
Wearing armor is not an easy task, because there are so many parts in a set of armor, especially the full body armor of knights exclusive to nobles, it is almost impossible to complete the whole wearing process alone, and someone must help.
Currently, the suit of armor that Katerina is wearing uses relatively special metal materials because it pays more attention to beauty and lightness. As a result, the number of parts of this suit of armor is naturally smaller than that of ordinary full-body armor for knights. More, its wearing process is also more cumbersome.Coupled with a series of matters such as make-up and touch-ups during the period, the whole process of putting on the nails has become extremely long. Since the morning, a whole four maids have been busy around Katerina, but the matter has not been settled until now. Finished.
For Katerina, this kind of armor-wearing process is definitely a torment, not to mention the girl's two professions - Mage and Assassin, which naturally reject wearing plate armor, and the girl herself is not the kind who likes to put herself People who are dressed in fancy clothes, coupled with the fact that the whole process takes a long time, the girl naturally has a strong resentment against it.
However, no matter how disgusted she was, Katerina still stood obediently in front of the mirror, allowing the maids to "act recklessly".
There is no way, people's behavior must conform to their own status, the higher the status of the people, the more they have to follow certain social rules. In the past, Katerina only regarded herself as an independent individual, so she could do whatever she wanted, but now she has As a ruler, she is responsible for the well-being of more than [-] people in Chris Port. She must be responsible to those who place their trust in her.
The current military parade is related to the future of Chrisport, and as the leader, Katerina must face it with the most prudent attitude, so even if she feels disgusted in her heart, the girl has to endure it.
"Tsk tsk tsk, sure enough, you are more suitable for a military uniform~"
I don't know how long it took, but thanks to the efforts of the maids, Katerina's dressing process was finally over, and the first time the maids retreated, before Katerina had time to take a closer look at her appearance, she heard A joke came to my ear,
"Come, come, let my sister carefully watch and watch, and see how beautiful you can be when you are dressed~"
Caterina first sighed at the joking sounds in her ears, and then, amidst the collision of armor parts all over her body, the girl turned around neatly, and the next moment, a young woman in a luxurious dress smiled sweetly. appeared in her line of sight.
After sizing up the young woman slightly, Katerina first snorted softly, then she rolled her eyes and cursed with a smile,
"Dear Princess Hill, may I ask if your son has nothing to do to be the queen, so early in the morning, instead of enjoying the flowers and drinking tea with your best friends, you came here cheeky to tease me. ......Is this interesting?"
"Of course it's interesting~" Listening to Katerina's scolding, Princess Hill brushed her hair slightly, then smiled nonchalantly,
"Being with you is much more interesting than fighting with those boring women."
"Also, Katerina, that bastard Nok is dead now, the coffin is nailed firmly, I am no longer the princess, don't call me that in the future, every time I hear this name, I get upset. "
Regarding Princess Hill's answer, Katerina raised her brows slightly, and then turned her gaze back to the body mirror, and said without turning her head,
"Look at your appearance...... Is this considered to be completely letting go~?"
"It's okay~"
At this moment, listening to Katerina's somewhat restrained words, Princess Hill...to be exact, the former Princess Hill, seemed to have lifted a heavy burden at this moment, and saw that she was lax at first. She smiled lazily, and then stretched her waist comfortably. Following the careless movements of this beautiful woman, that pretty body outlined a bewitching curve in the room, even making those around who were exiting the room The maids were all blushing.
"Looking at that bastard being buried in the soil, my hatred seems to be buried along with it. Now I feel very relaxed, as if I am about to float."
"Really? Don't you think you're at all......uh~" Faced with Hill's response, Katerina subconsciously looked at her year-end friend, but she took that woman into her sight In an instant, she found that the other party was posing a "dangerous posture" at this time. The girl who seemed to have been hit in her heart almost immediately turned her head again, and forced herself to close her eyes, for fear that her eyes would accidentally turn away. Expose something that shouldn't be there.
A moment later, just as Katerina stabilized her mind and was about to say something, a pair of slender arms suddenly stretched out from behind her, and lightly wrapped around her neck. Immediately afterwards, without waiting for any reaction from the girl, a companion The heat flow wrapped in the orchid breath has already lightly hit her earlobe,
"Hee hee, little Carter, what are you afraid of?"
"If you want to watch it, you can watch it, and no one is stopping you. Why are you acting like a thief? Is it possible... What kind of twisted thoughts have you, you little villain~~"
At this moment, listening to the soft laugh coming from next to her ear, and feeling the itching of the scattered temple hair of the person behind her brushing her neck, Katerina couldn't help but tremble all over, and then her face flushed instantly.
"Hill, you, what are you doing, let go!"
"Enough, let go, if you don't stop, I'll be really angry!"
After enduring it for a while, Katerina finally couldn't help but blow her hair. The girl has lived for two lifetimes, and she has never been molested like this before. Facing the frivolous behavior of the former Princess Hill, the girl is full of embarrassment and anger She really wanted to shake off the other person, but every time she wanted to break free, she found that for some reason, she couldn't lift her body up.
On the other hand, facing Katerina's unconvincing resistance, Hill, who had never seen a girl like this before, had no intention of letting go. Instead, he was eager to continue playing.
Having been with Katerina for so long, Hill is of course aware of the girl's sexual orientation, and it just so happens that she once had the same interest, but she finally succumbed to the rules of the world, and now, after releasing the shackles of identity Well, as the king's mother, she can already ignore these secular rules to a certain extent. If the object is a girl, Hill doesn't mind developing taboos at all.
However, just when Hill was planning to do something further, she suddenly remembered that the girl still had business to do, and it was really not suitable for her to continue playing around.
So, after sighing, the flamboyant woman took a step back with regret, and finally let the flushed Katerina go, but immediately after, she saw her staring at him with disgust. girl's chest,
"Tsk tsk tsk, I said Katerina, you should be an adult soon, why are you developing so slowly?"
"You can't do this, you don't have a broad mind, it's hard to win people's hearts~"
"Otherwise, sister, I will send you some secret medicine formulas, you can take them back and have a try......"
"Hill, you are enough, there is no end!" The next moment, before Hill finished speaking, as if she could no longer bear her jokes, Katerina yelled angrily,
"What's the matter with you? I've never seen you like this before. Are you still the Hill I know?!"
"So, little Carter, you have never really understood me..." Hearing the indignant words of the girl in front of him, Hill shrugged his mouth indifferently, and then covered it He let out a coquettish smile with his mouth open, and put on a posture of what you can do to me,
"The person you once knew was Princess Hill. Princess Hill has her own mission and responsibility. Of course, she must do her best~"
"But now I'm just Hill..."
Speaking of this, the former princess Hill curled her long hair over her shoulders with her fingers, then tilted her head, looking at Katerina with a mysterious face,
"Little Carter, do you want to know more about my sister and me, if you want, we can......"
"You're enough!" In order to prevent the world from being destroyed by the unfettered words of the woman in front of her, Katerina decisively interrupted her next words, and then changed the topic in a rather blunt way,
"Hill, I will host the military parade in a while, and I don't want to continue to fight with you."
"Tell me, this time you suddenly came to find me in private, what's the matter?"
On the other side, seeing that Katerina's attitude had become serious, Hill also restrained his playfulness, and then only heard her respond in the same serious tone,
"Katerina, you are still so direct, well, I admit, I really want to ask you something when I come to you this time."
"I have a child named Avril next to me, she is the younger brother of my bastard husband, the last remaining blood..."
As he said that, Hill told Katerina the ins and outs of everything, and after finishing the explanation, the former princess asked the girl very sincerely,
"Katerina, the fate of this child Avril is very unfortunate, I hope you can help me protect her, at least let her live in peace~"
"Wait!" At this moment, hearing Princess Hill's request, Katerina quickly frowned,
