In less than an hour, Red Ponytail and Louise returned to Torristine, bringing the news of the annihilation of the Albian Royal Faction and the letter.
"Is that so …"
After listening to Louise's report on the journey, Angelietta's face was full of sorrow.
"I didn't expect Viscount Waludo to be a traitor. I didn't expect there to be a traitor in the Magic Guardians …"
Looking at the letter in her hand, Angelietta burst into tears.
"I actually sent a traitor …"
"Your Royal Highness …"
Looking at Angelietta, Louise did not know what to say for a while. After a while, Angelietta calmed down and asked softly.
"Did he read my letter to the end?"
"Yes."
Hearing Louise's answer, Angelietta let out a long sigh, then looked at Louise again with a smile.
"Don't mind me, Louise. You've done a good job and brought the letter back. This way, the plan to hinder our marriage has been taken care of. This way, our country and Germania can also smoothly form an alliance. That way, Albian will not dare to attack us rashly. The crisis is over, Louise."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness …"
Hearing this, Louise's face also showed a smile. But at this moment, a voice that spoiled the mood came.
"I say … You're not serious, are you?"
“SABER？”
The two turned their heads and saw Red Ponytail sitting on a chair not far away, looking at them with boredom.
"What do you mean?"
"That's what I mean? The crisis is over? Are you kidding me? The next problem is. "
"The next problem is … the next problem?"
"What do you mean?"
Angelietta and Louise looked at each other. The old man behind Angelietta also frowned and looked at Red Ponytail.
He really didn't know that this princess was smart about small things, but muddle-headed when it came to big things … Forget it, there were many women like this in history. Not everyone could be Wu Zetian if they were good at fighting in the palace.
"Then I'll be direct."
The red ponytail stretched out her hand and pointed to the table.
"For Albion, Torristine is a small country in the first place. It will be a piece of cake for them to attack it, right?"
"… Although it's hard to say, it's true."
"Yes, that's why Torristine is like a fish on the chopping block to Albion. It can do whatever it wants. Originally, Albion wanted to get rid of the fishy smell of the fish, marinate it, and then slowly stew it. He wanted to eat it delicately, which was why he tried to ruin your marriage plan, Your Highness. This is great. I didn't destroy it. Simmering and steaming it won't work. What should I do? "
After saying that, the red ponytail spread out her hands.
"It's very simple. Since I can't do it, I'll just knock the fish out with a knife. Then, I'll remove the scales, sprinkle some salt on it, and roast it before eating it."
"B-but we've already formed an alliance with Germania! Isn't the princess going to marry the king there? "
At this moment, Louise also shouted loudly, while the red ponytail nodded.
"Yes, it's an alliance only after they get married, but the problem is that they haven't gotten married yet, right? The princess and the king haven't gotten married yet. If I were Albion, since the first plan has failed, I might as well kill them before they get married. Anyway, the alliance agreement hasn't been signed, and the marriage hasn't been done yet. All they have to do is take Torristine, then capture the princess and the queen. Wouldn't that be it? "
Hearing this, the expressions of Angelietta and the others changed.
"Mazariini!"
Angelietta hurriedly turned to look at the old man behind her.
"What do you think is the possibility of that?"
"This … Please forgive me for being blunt, but this lady's words make sense."
The Grand Council thought for a moment, then nodded with a serious face.
"To be honest, we didn't consider this possibility before, but in fact, it does exist. After all, compared to Albion, Torristine is still too weak …."
Speaking of this, the old man's voice was a little bitter.
"How could this be …."
Hearing this, Angelietta's face turned pale.
"Your Royal Highness, please calm down. The wedding date has been set. As long as we can carefully observe Albion's movements before then, there shouldn't be any major problems. I think from now on, we should immediately impose martial law on the whole kingdom under the pretext of preparing for the wedding ceremony. At the same time, we should ask all regions to strictly restrain their subordinates so that Albion doesn't have any opportunities …. "
"Haha, if he wants to beat you up, he can just find a random reason. Why go through so much trouble …."
"That's not right, Saber."
Hearing the red ponytail's sarcasm, Louise pouted in dissatisfaction.
"After all, we need a good reason to wage war! If we wage war without a good reason, wouldn't it be an invasion? Even the citizens of Albion won't accept it! "
"Can't we just find a random reason? For example, if I slapped him, I can say that his face slapped my hand, and then beat him up. "
"His face …."
"Slapped my hand …?"
Hearing this, both Angelietta and Louise had a strange look on their faces.
"What kind of nonsense is that?"
"It's nonsense, but if he doesn't admit it, I'll hack him to death. Do you think he'll admit it?"
"This …."
Both of them were speechless.
"Haha."
Speaking of this, the red ponytail stood up and stretched.
"There's a saying in my world that a weak country has no diplomacy. Just work hard to find a way."
After saying this, the red ponytail turned around and was about to leave. Then, she seemed to have thought of something. She took out a ring from her pocket and placed it on the table.
"Oh, by the way, Your Royal Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring this to you."
"This is …."
Looking at the ring on the table, Angelietta's eyes widened slightly. She then reached out to pick up the ring and put it on her finger. She stared at the ring, then lowered her head.
"Thank you …."
"You're welcome. It's nothing."
The red ponytail waved her hand and left the room. For a while, the three of them did not speak.
After a long time, the Grand Council let out a long sigh.
"A weak country has no diplomacy …."
After that, time continued to move forward.
Angelietta was also very fast, especially after receiving the reminder from the red ponytail. Almost on the third day after the red ponytail and Louise returned to the academy, the marriage between Princess Angelietta of the Kingdom of Torristine and King Albrecht III of the Kingdom of Germania was announced. The marriage was scheduled to take place in a month, and a military alliance would be formed on this basis.
The establishment of the new Albion government was announced one day after the alliance was announced. Albion announced the abolition of the monarchy and the change to a republic. At the same time, the Parliament of Nobles sent special envoys to Torristine and Germania to discuss the conclusion of a non-aggression treaty. This was a relief for the two countries, who were originally very nervous.
After Louise returned to the academy, she proudly told the news to Red Ponytail.
"That's why I say, Saber, you're being too alarmist. Look, didn't Albion give up now that their plan has failed? As long as a peace treaty is signed, everything will be fine. "
"Haha."
The red ponytail just shrugged in response to Louise's words.
What a joke! Even Torristine and Germania together are no match for Albion. Why would Albion care about the agreement he signed with you? Only a country with strength could make an agreement work. A small country like Torristine was not even as powerful as Yugoslavia. It was about the same as Montenegro.
For them, the effect of this kind of peace treaty was no different from toilet paper.
And it couldn't even be used to wipe their butts.
However, after this trip, Louise had also changed.
For example …
"Woo … woo …"
Here it comes again.
The red ponytail sighed and turned her head. Louise, who was sleeping next to her, was curled up into a ball and sobbing softly. The red ponytail did not know how important the Viscount was to Louise, but after the Viscount died, Louise had nightmares almost every night.
And every time this happened …
"Okay, don't cry, don't cry …"
The red ponytail stretched out her hand and gently stroked Louise's hair. Feeling the touch, Louise turned around and hugged the red ponytail, then buried her head in her arms. She seemed to relax a lot, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep with a smile on her face.
"I really couldn't tell, but she really likes that guy."
If the red ponytail remembered correctly, Louise once told her that when she was a child, she often went to her family's boat by the lake to cry because her magic studies were not going well. Every time, it was Waludo who found her, comforted her, and cheered her up. But she did not expect that the person who was so gentle to her was just using her …
That's why Waludo is not a good villain.
Thinking of this, the red ponytail shook her head helplessly. There were so many anime villains who raised a little girl from a young age and made her loyal to them. When the villains faced the protagonist, they would say, "It was XX who helped me find a home, and I'm going to dedicate my everything to him!"
But in the end, you did not even qualify to be a villain. You have been raised since you were young, but you have not been able to conquer it. Instead, you have been betrayed at the last minute. "You are really good. You have been doing this for three days and two days to dry your net. What's this? A boyfriend is not as good as a girlfriend? You can't even win a woman over, how embarrassing!
It only means that you're not skilled enough.
At most, he could only play a small role.
If it were some other indescribable game, they would have already brainwashed Louise and used her to get close to the princess, then the princess would do this and that, then the princess would get close to the queen, and so on and so on …. Wouldn't it be easy to get the whole country in your hands?
Just look at how embarrassing you are!
Of course, Louise herself did not know what she did that night, and the red ponytail did not tell her. Otherwise, with Louise's pride, if she knew that she was secretly crying under the quilt at night, she would probably jump off a building out of shame and anger.
However, just a few days later, Louise found the red ponytail again with a complicated expression and showed her a book.
"What's this?"
Looking at the blank page in front of her, the red ponytail was dumbfounded.
"In fact, I was just called by the dean of the academy. He said that Her Highness Marietta has appointed me to be the witch at the wedding ceremony …"
"Hmm, so?"
"According to tradition, every witch has to take this' Ancestor's Prayer Book 'and recite a prayer at the wedding."
"Hmm … But there's not a single word in it?"
The red ponytail picked up the book and flipped through it. Hearing this, Louise lowered her head dejectedly.
"I don't know what's going on either!"
"Hmm … Let me see, it's not a fake, is it?"
"How is that possible? This is the real thing passed down in the royal family! "
"That's true. If it's a fake, it's too careless … Hmm?"
However, just as the red ponytail was flipping through the prayer book, she suddenly froze.
Because from this prayer book, the red ponytail felt the same power of the void that she felt from Louise!
This thing is actually real?
