Realm of Power

On the eastern outskirts of the city, the bulging coastline passes by here, with staggered and curved high and low waves. Where they intersect, there are coniferous forests that will not lose their leaves even in winter. The vast and boundless blue sea exudes a light-like glow under the light. The rainbow-like brilliance seems to be the top of the earth meeting the sky Kiss, between forests and rocky outcrops, dotted with farms and naturally formed flower beds, each area is a town that has recently emerged, as if standing in the middle of a large thick woodland without being swallowed up, a car The black carriage stopped in front of the gate of a villa in the middle of a Y-shaped lake.

"Your Highness, this is still some distance from the front. According to our status, we don't need to get off here." One of Putamia's twin maids whispered from the opposite side.

"Since we are uninvited guests, we should naturally give the host proper respect. Let's walk through here." Putamia looked back from outside the car, stood up and got off the carriage. Behind her were two maids who quickly followed. Standing at the door Two Imperial Guardsmen wearing black Imperial uniforms, Pudami Ya walked over to one of them and said, "I am Putamia from the Order State. His Majesty the Emperor asked me to come." Putamia took out a passage order signed by the Emperor from her sleeve and handed it over. A guard took it. After looking carefully at the pass order, he raised his hand towards the door, and the door slowly opened.

Just six hours before the auction, Putamia finally received the news of the emperor's interview. She boarded the carriage that had been prepared and was taken directly here. In the distance, in front of the main building of the villa, a graceful The figure was standing there waiting, it was a slender, elegant and graceful woman in black dress. When Putamia saw this woman, she couldn't help but pause in her steps, why is this woman here too!

Originally she just thought that the emperor was using the auction on the west coast to demoralize the Martin Liya camp, but when she saw the woman in front of her waiting for her, Putamia immediately overturned this assumption. If it was just an auction, There is no need to use the woman in front of her, because Putamia happens to know this woman, and she knows what a terrifying status and huge power she has in the empire.

"Miss Sokutus Stellan, the last time we said goodbye was in Lisbon, I really didn't expect to meet you here." Putamia walked over with a calm face, her satin-like blue hair slanting across her forehead, A simple bun is tied at the top of the back of the head. The white palace dress is paired with bright hair. It is unassuming but elegant.

She bowed slightly to Sokutus Stellan. She knew that in the Barrow region of southern Europe, this woman could be said to have overwhelming power. Although she did not have the name of queen, she was truly an uncrowned queen. She was the empire. Black Rose, Bank Head Sokutusdai Lan, this woman has the power to influence all the coastal countries in southern Europe and north of Barrow. Even if she is against herself, His Highness the Pope, she is definitely a match of identity. Even in the eyes of the royal families, she is only more powerful than herself, the Pope of the religious order country. A little heavier,

"I am also honored to meet Her Majesty Putamia. Please come with me. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Sokutu Stellan had a charming smile on her lips, wearing a long black silk palace dress, and her two jade lotus-like thin white arms naturally hanging in front of her to salute. Although she was also wearing a palace dress, Sokutu Stellan's palace clothes are even better. The tailoring is close-fitting, and even a winter coat fully reflects her graceful curves, making her more graceful and gorgeous.

Putamia followed Sokutus Stellan into the villa and came to a study room on the third floor. Sokutus Stellan opened the door and Putamia walked in. The morning sunshine was just right in the distance. When the light came in, the flames in the furnace were burning brightly. Putamia's eyes immediately fell on the emperor who stood up from the armchair.

"The Holy Light is very important to the empire. I can't give it to you. I'll give you another compensation. I'll try my best to satisfy you." The black-haired emperor shrugged helplessly.

"Your Majesty looks more relaxed than I thought. It's ridiculous that the entire Opalo is confused about His Majesty's announcement." Putamia did not directly ask for money, but looked around. "Get out of the room" Speaking of which, I am so I have been called to a strange place to be alone in a room with a man. This is the first time." Putamia walked to the table next to her, stretched out her slender hand and opened the cover of the breakfast that had just been delivered. He glanced at it and wrinkled his pretty little nose.

Without looking at the emperor, she put the cover aside, grabbed one piece, put it on her plump lips, and carefully bit a corner with her neat, white teeth that matched her skin color. After tasting it, he said in a solemn voice, "The aroma is ordinary, but the presentation is very special, because I have never seen such an ugly breakfast. I really don't know where you found the cook!"

"This... doesn't seem to be very good."

The slightly embarrassed white palace dress on the fat woman's face highlighted her outstanding face and sparkling delicate skin. Coupled with the morning sun shining in from the window sill, the whole person exuded a hot and overwhelming sacredness. Aura, even the fat man is a little lost, sighing at the full level of professional magic stick The skills are indeed not something to be boasted about. For a person with a special status like Putamia, when to stand in what position and how to use the surrounding environment to create a sacred atmosphere are all taught by dedicated people since childhood, and they have been trained meticulously and assiduously. After a few years, it has become a habit.

The fat man smiled and said, "Originally, there was a dedicated cook in this villa, but for safety reasons, we could only let the Guards take over. The tools and the like were all rushed out. How can a cook in the army have such a good job?" The standard is very good. Of course, it cannot be compared with His Royal Highness the Pope’s chef. In fact, I am just a rough person, so I’m pretty good if I have a stutter! "

Potamia showed a smile like the moon breaking through the dark clouds, and her big and affectionate eyes glanced at the emperor, nodded and said, "It's still acceptable. Although it's not top quality, the creativity is commendable, and it's better than Those so-called famous chefs who stick to the rules, His Majesty just said that the Holy Light cannot be returned to our country of the Order. This makes me proud. It’s very difficult for the Pope to handle. The Holy Light left the Holy City with our ancestors of the Order State, and was then snatched away by the Eero royal family for decades. Popes of all generations have been grudges about the Holy Light, and the Empire is an ally of the Order State. , the empire has received the Holy Light but will not return it, no matter how much compensation is given, our religious order country is destined to lose its face!”

"You won't embarrass me like this, right?" Putamia's voice paused, and a pair of eyebrows suddenly frowned, causing a few ripples of delicate light waves to appear on her forehead.

"The Holy Light is really important to the empire, and it has been announced as an auction item this time. If it is handed over to you privately, the credibility of the empire's auction house will be lost. Let's find another way to compensate." Fatty also knows about auctions. Shengguang was a bit unreasonable, and now Putamia came to his door. If the other party was just a slut, he could still deal with it, but he didn't expect that this female gangster would actually play a tender role.

"How much does Your Majesty plan to auction the Holy Light for?" Putamia seemed to know that it was almost impossible to get the Holy Light back. She bit her lip and asked through gritted teeth. She seemed a little relaxed. After all, the Holy Light was here. In the hands of the emperor, if the emperor doesn’t give it to her, she can only stare.

"Ten million imperial gold. If it weren't for the fatal attraction of the Holy Light to the southern princes of Elro, I would have returned the Holy Light to you." The fat man hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said that he would use the Holy Light to attract the southern princes of Elro. plan

Potamia's pretty face couldn't help but move slightly. She still knew about the situation of the southern princes of Erro, and she knew what the Holy Light meant to these southern princes. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and pretend to be casual. Said, "The Holy Light can indeed make the princes in the south of Ero not only pour The family is ruined, and they have to break their heads and rob them. Speaking of which, the princes in the south of Eero were also one of the murderers who hunted down our religious order country. For this reason, I will reluctantly accept your compensation, two million in imperial gold. , this is already the lowest bottom line I can accept, otherwise I will be ashamed to return to the Order Country."

"Yes, I can give you two million empire gold." The fat man breathed a sigh of relief, and said after a pause in his voice, "But you can't go back to the Order Country yet."

"Oh, does your Majesty have anything else to do?" Putamia looked stunned.

"Just the day before you arrived, the Silver Fox disappeared from Martinliya. It is most likely that it came to the west coast. If the easiest way to mess up this auction now is to let the Pope of the Order State die before the auction." The fat man's cold eyes curled up slightly, "The information was provided by the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department. You also know about the feud between Mount Edmond and Silver Fox." Hate, the Southern Intelligence Department has set up a dragnet. You also know the virtues of those guys. For your safety, just live here for the time being." The fat man coughed dryly at the corner of his mouth. As the owner of Mount Edmon, he In fact, he only found out about it yesterday, so he decided to meet Potamia. He was really afraid that Mount Edmond would sell Potamia!

"Your Majesty, you are saying that in the eyes of Mount Edmon, I am just a bait for silver foxes." Putamia covered her mouth and smiled sweetly. After a while, she put down her hands, as if she were meeting Kou Zhong for the first time. She looked at the fat man for a long time and then said softly, "Okay, I will stay here, but please remember your promise." Putamia walked out of the study door.

"Your Highness!" The twin maids waiting outside greeted him nervously. They were really afraid that Putamia would be furious because she couldn't get the Holy Light.

"Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I will be eaten by someone in there?" Putamia walked to the corridor, then turned around and asked angrily and funny

"The Emperor promised to return the Holy Light?" One of the twins said timidly. His Highness seemed to be in a good mood.

"Holy light? What do I want with that thing?" Unexpectedly, Putamia raised the corner of her mouth slightly, stared at the distant coastline outside the corridor window sill, and whispered, "Maybe I would have been interested in the holy light before." , but now, the Holy Light is not only useless to me, but also very detrimental to me. If possible, I hope that the Holy Light will never return to the Order Country."

"Your Highness!" The twin maids looked stunned, their lips slightly opened.

"The Holy Light will only remind everyone of the Temple, but I want to ascend the throne. I have spent so much effort to dilute the Temple from people's hearts. If the Holy Light returns, all my efforts will be in vain. All efforts are not in vain." Putamia had a sly smile on her pretty face, wearing a blue and white palace dress, and patted the twin maids on the head.

Putamia is a professional slut. Her talent for deceiving people without losing money is at full level. Coupled with the surrounding environment, she is like a fairy descending from the earth. Who would have thought that she could be so cunning.

"Then why should we..." The twin maids opened their lips slightly, looking stunned, but they hesitated to speak. It turned out that His Highness didn't care about the Holy Light at all. If this news spread, I'm afraid the floor would be filled with broken glass.

"It's nothing, I just came to see what the Emperor of the Empire is planning on the West Coast. If the Empire continues to avoid fighting in the Order, it will be my Order that will suffer. I don't want to be crowned king on a ruin. And judging from the Emperor's reaction, it is obvious that he is absolutely unworthy of my Order. I don't know how to take the opportunity to make the Empire bleed. Isn't it too stupid? Now my Order is poor. Don't think of sending me back without more than two million imperial gold." The eyes under Pudamiya's tall eyebrows are clear and calm, and the thin red lips draw a faint arc.

The twin maids have a feeling of being messy in the wind. They feel that their highness is a completely different person as long as he is involved with the Emperor of the Empire. How proud their highness was at the beginning, but now it seems that he is completely obsessed with money. Just like the emperor of the empire who was called the owner of a grocery store

Pudamia looked around, the hazel tree shade filled with white mist in early winter was like a white stream gently gurgling, and she said with a wry smile, "You don't know anything. How much financial support is needed to ascend the throne? How many wealthy and powerful people need to be appeased after ascending the throne? And how many areas need to be rebuilt after this war? To be honest, when I open my eyes in the morning, the first thing I think of is how to get money. If I can get two million in one visit, it can ensure that there will be no large-scale starvation in the Holy City in winter. Why don't I come?"

Hearing the words of their own prince, the twin maids could not help but remain silent

The war in which their own prince attacked the Ero Empire lasted for more than half a year , it can be said that the financial resources of the Order State were almost dragged down. Even the new Pope would not have been able to take office so easily. Then the Order was in civil war, and the domestic economy collapsed completely. The provinces cut off their ties with the Central Holy City one after another, and maintained independence in this war. With the defeat of the rebellion by his own highness and the re-entry into the Holy City, the domestic environment was slightly improved. However, the good times were less than two months. Martin Liya's army marched northward, and the southern and central parts of the Order State were swept into it. A large number of refugees flocked to the Holy City area in the north. Now his own highness thinks about how to avoid starvation every day. What can be done even if the holy light is brought back? It can't be eaten or sold. It's really not as practical as 2 million imperial gold.
