Time went by, and soon, it was the day of Angelietta's wedding.
"Your Royal Highness …"
As the witch appointed by Angelietta, Louise looked at the princess in a white wedding dress in front of her and did not know what to say for a while.
"Louise, don't look like that."
Looking at Louise, Angelietta also smiled.
"Today is the day I'm getting married. As my friend, shouldn't you be happy?"
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, I …"
Louise looked at Angelietta and was about to say something, but at that moment, the closed door suddenly opened, and the Grand Council ran in, panting.
"What's wrong? Minister Mazariini? "
Seeing the old minister in front of her, who never showed his emotions on his face, Angelietta suddenly stood up with an uneasy expression.
"Albion has declared war on us!"
"What? When did that happen?! "
Hearing this, Angelietta and Louise were shocked, while Red Ponytail yawned in boredom.
"Just now … According to the information we received, our fleet went to welcome the state guests, but when the two sides fired a salute, one of Albion's warships suddenly exploded. They accused us of it, and just now, Albion sent a declaration of war, claiming that we ignored the non-aggression treaty and launched an artillery attack on the friendly fleet for no reason. It was self-defense, so the Albion Republic government declared war on us …"
"How could this be …!"
Hearing this, Angelietta's knees went weak, and she sat down on the chair. Louise was also stunned and speechless for a while.
For a moment, the air was filled with dead silence, until the red ponytail spoke.
"See, I told you, if you want to fight, you can just find a reason."
"Miss Saber …"
Hearing this, Angelietta and the Grand Council could not help but look at the calm red ponytail, who was even in the mood to eat snacks. Indeed, before this, the other party had already warned them of this possibility, but after that, because the new Albion government soon proposed a non-aggression treaty, they threw the red ponytail's warning to the back of their minds.
Now it seemed …
"But, but we signed the treaty, how can they do this?!"
Louise clenched her fists in anger, while Red Ponytail yawned.
"You need to know your place, Louise."
"Eh?"
"What about your Torristines? To put it bluntly, it's just a small area the size of a fingernail. Whether you live or die, exist or perish, it doesn't matter to anyone else. Instead of claiming that they were manufacturing chemical weapons of mass destruction with a bottle of laundry detergent, Albion blew up one of his ships. Treaty? That thing is probably used as toilet paper to flush the toilet. "
"SABER …! You …! "
"I've said it before. Weak countries have no diplomacy."
The red ponytail stood up. At this moment, her petite body revealed an imposing aura that made the three of them involuntarily swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Admit it. You're weak, very weak. No matter how noble the Torristines are, no matter how long the history of the nobility is, when an army approaches, you can't win. A thousand years of history and glory can't help you block swords, and the honor and pride of nobility can't help you win. It's meaningless to care about whether it's fair or not, because in international relations, weakness itself is the original sin. "
Red Ponytail opened her mouth and smiled slightly.
"Rabbits are eaten by wolves because they're weak. It's a matter of course. Whether the rabbit is good or bad doesn't help, does it? "
"… But … This … I …"
Louise was speechless for a moment, while Anlietta gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. The Grand Council let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.
"Mazariini, let's go to the conference room immediately!"
Anlietta turned around and quickly walked out of the room, followed by the Grand Council. Only Louise and Red Ponytail remained standing there.
"Saber … Don't you think what you're saying … is too much?"
"Good medicine tastes bitter. I know you don't like to hear this, but I still have to say it. Do you remember? When you were Louise of Zero, anyone could laugh at you, but what about you? What could you do except clench your fists and get angry? You couldn't do anything, just like Torristine now. "
Red Ponytail sat back in her chair and stared at Louise.
"Weak Louise, weak Torristine, weakness is the original sin."
"But I'm different now!"
Hearing this, Louise raised her head and looked at Red Ponytail with a determined look in her eyes.
"I have magic of nothingness, don't I? As long as I use that magic, I can stop Albion's army, right? "
"That's right."
Red Ponytail snapped her fingers.
"In fact, it's not just you, even I can easily take care of those idiots."
"Then let's go find the princess now!"
Hearing this, Louise hurriedly grabbed Red Ponytail.
"We'll tell her the situation, then let her send us to the battlefield to meet the enemy!"
"Wait, Louise."
However, Red Ponytail did not follow Louise. Instead, she grabbed Louise's hand and stared at her.
"I have a very important question to ask you."
"… What question?"
"Do you want Torristine to become strong? Or to continue to be weak? "
"What does that mean?"
"It means exactly what it means."
Red Ponytail spread out her hands.
"If you want Torristine to continue as he is, then fine. We'll go find the princess now and tell her that these invaders are just a snap of our fingers. Let her send us out, then we'll go to the battlefield, destroy the enemy, stop the invasion, and finish it."
"… What's wrong with that?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Just like you, if you still don't know any magic, then I can protect you and do everything for you. You don't have to do anything. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I'll help you settle them. How about that? Isn't it easy? "
"This …"
Hearing this, Louise frowned.
"Then what should I do?"
"Drink, eat, get married, and have children. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I'll solve them. What else do you have to worry about?"
"How can that be?"
Hearing this, Louise suddenly jumped up.
"Then wouldn't I be useless?"
"So you understand?"
"Ah …"
Faced with Fangzheng's rhetorical question, Louise was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
"You mean … … … … …"
"If you don't rely on yourself and only rely on external forces, you'll be destroyed sooner or later. Do you know? In another world, there used to be a country called the Dragonkin Kingdom, Lucnica. From the beginning of its establishment, this country signed a contract with the Dragon God. The Dragon God would protect this country. No matter what kind of crisis it encountered, it would inform the ruler of this country in advance so that they could come up with countermeasures. What happened in the end? "
Having said that, the red ponytail chuckled.
"Everything is under the protection of the Dragon God, so all you need to do is hug the Dragon God's thigh. Look, now that the royal family of that country is dead, and because they're afraid that the Dragon God will no longer protect this country, those people actually want to choose one of the Dragon God's witches to be the king. What do you think? Very interesting, isn't it? "
"…"
"So now, what's your answer?"
"Of course I want Torristine to be strong!"
Louise stomped her feet indignantly, then walked to sit beside Red Ponytail.
"As you said, Albion beat us up just because he said so. It's too much of a bully! But what can we do? "
"Listen to me."
Having said that, Red Ponytail smiled and raised a finger.
"I have a good idea."
At the same time, in the hall, it was already a mess.
Angelietta, wearing a white wedding dress, sat on the throne and looked at the scene in front of her blankly. Albion's fleet had landed on the Tarble Grassland and had begun to occupy this area. The Lord was dead, the Earl was dead, and the Dragon Knights were completely wiped out. The situation was heading in the worst direction.
But at this moment, in the hall, the ministers were still carrying out meaningless discussions.
"We should ask for reinforcements from Germania!"
"That will only make things worse!"
"Let all the Dragon Knights attack from the air. We must stop the enemy!"
"But this is just a misunderstanding. We should immediately send an envoy to talk to them. If we launch an attack, it will be tantamount to giving Albion an excuse to launch an all-out war!"
Looking at this scene, Angelietta suddenly felt like laughing.
She once again thought of the words of the girl with the red ponytails.
Indeed, Torristine was so weak now that the enemy had already come knocking on their door, yet they still wanted to keep the peace. But …
"I'm afraid Albion … doesn't care about what we think at all."
Angelietta revealed a self-deprecating smile as she muttered to herself. Then, she straightened her expression and stood up. Then, she stood up and stared coldly at the ministers in front of her.
"Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Your Highness?"
Hearing Angelietta's accusation, everyone was taken aback. Angelietta looked at them and continued to speak.
"Our country is being invaded by the enemy, and you're still talking about an alliance? What envoy? Before that, we have more important things to do! "
"But, Your Highness!"
Hearing this, a minister hurriedly stood up.
"This is a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?"
Hearing the minister's words, Angelietta was so angry that she laughed.
"How is this a misunderstanding? A warship sunk by a cannon salute? Do you believe this kind of excuse? "
"Haven't we already signed a non-aggression treaty? It's just an accident! "
Hearing this, Angelietta could no longer hold it in. She slammed the table.
"Accident? Say that to Albion! " Our country is being invaded, and our people are bleeding! And now that you're here, apart from pushing the blame to each other, don't you have anything else to say? Do you think you can stop the enemy with your tongues? If you're so good at talking, why don't you use your tongues to rule the world!? "
"…"
Facing the angry scolding of the princess, all the nobles at this moment shut their mouths. Angelietta, on the other hand, looked at them coldly.
"You must be very afraid. After all, the enemy is Albion. Even if we fight back, we have no chance of winning. So, are you planning to continue to drag out your ignoble existence?! If that's the case, then I have my own ideas! "
After saying this, Angelietta turned and left the hall. Just as she left the hall and came to the corridor, she saw the red ponytail and Louise standing there, looking at her.
Looking at the two, Angelietta hesitated for a moment, then came in front of the red ponytail.
"Miss Saber, I want to ask for your help."
"I know what you want to say."
Hearing Angelietta's words, the corner of the red ponytail's mouth slightly raised. Then, she stretched out a finger.
"However, I have a condition."
"What condition?"
"I want you to sign a contract with me."
At this moment, the red ponytail restrained her expression and stared at Angelietta seriously.
"A master-slave contract."
